Chapter 1043: Chapter 1040 Magic Lamp Bulb
Chapter 1043 -1040 Magic Lamp Bulb
The Crimson Sparrow Team of the Royal Knight Squad had been formed, comprising twenty-six Elite Earth Knights of Fire Attribute, all of whom had signed Beast Taming Contracts with the Red Sparrow Bird with the help of Liszt.
The Crimson Sparrow Team will serve as the first batch of knights guarding the Flame King City.
Of course, they are still reserves and must wait until the Red Sparrow Bird truly bonds with them and will not rebel, to finalize the Crimson Sparrow Team roster. In any case, this batch of knights will be the backbone of the future Burning Legion and will also be knights directly under the Flame Family.
The Flame King City they are to guard has not been completely built yet, but the main framework has already taken shape.
In such a magical world filled with magic power, although the construction industry is not very developed, as long as one is willing to spend resources and mobilize magicians for the construction. The speed, quality, and difficulty of building construction are definitely more efficient than high-tech construction methods on Earth.
Coincidentally, on Flame Island, the Moon Slayer Natives have cultivated a large number of Ancient Mages using magic dust.
They participate in construction, undertaking the most difficult parts, which greatly accelerates city construction. Moreover, the Magic Guild is coordinating behind the scenes and developing more construction techniques. The Flame King City is the highest test platform for the construction level of the Flame Kingdom and is a comprehensive plan.
Most cities under the knight system are spontaneously accrued without any complete urban planning.

The Flame King City, however, was planned from the beginning as a large city with a population scale of five hundred thousand, with radiating streets and blocks. At the very center is the city’s landmark building, a giant stone gate—Triumphal Arch, which is Liszt’s wicked sense of humor, imitating Paris, France.
A grand boulevard runs straight through the Triumphal Arch from the south to the north. This boulevard is called the Gilded Boulevard, which can accommodate ten carriages side by side, that is, the gap for twenty warhorses.
Apart from the Gilded Boulevard, five other boulevards traverse the Triumphal Arch—of course, due to the orientation of the Triumphal Arch, these roads can only go around the arch, forming a large roundabout. Only the Gilded Boulevard can pass through the Triumphal Arch unimpeded.
These five boulevards, along with the Gilded Boulevard, divide the Flame King City into twelve radiating fan-shaped areas.
Going clockwise.
The area from 12 to 1 o’clock is the administrative district, 1 to 2 o’clock is the education district, 2 to 3 o’clock is the green district;
3 to 4 o’clock is the commercial district, 4 to 5 o’clock is the civilian residential district, 5 to 6 o’clock is the commercial district;
6 to 7 o’clock is the civilian residential district; 7 to 8 o’clock is the storage district; 8 to 9 o’clock is the magic district;
9 to 10 o’clock is the green district; 10 to 11 o’clock is the noble residential district; 11 to 12 o’clock is the military district.
Of course, this is just a rough distribution, and each fan-shaped area is divided by countless streets into many small areas. For Liszt, who has a great pursuit of greening, each small area should have a park, and every little street should have a conspicuous public toilet.
In summary, the future Flame King City will be a city shaded by green trees, clean and tidy.
The cities of other countries are always accompanied by a lot of excrement, sewage, and other dirty substances, but in any city of the Flame Kingdom, he does not allow such uncivilized phenomena to exist—in fact, even without official coordination to clean up the excrement, the commoners would scramble to clear it away.
Feces can help crops grow, which has become common knowledge to the people of the Flame Kingdom.
Compared to the luxuries that only the nobles are qualified to master, such as elves, feces are something that both humans and livestock can produce, and it can help all crops. Many small traders specialize in selling feces, transporting it from the cities to the various plantations, eliminating the phenomenon of open defecation—everyone keeps their feces to sell for money.
Noble landlords would buy feces at a high price for farming.
However, there was one problem: transporting feces from the city was bound to pollute the air. Liszt then requested the construction of a sprawling underground network at Flame King City. These tunnels were spacious enough to allow carriages to pass through. Feces would be transported out of the city through these tunnels.
At this moment,
Having returned from the Phoenix Perch Parasol Forest with the Red Sparrow Squad, Liszt stayed in Flame King City for inspection. Today, he was inspecting the sewer system.
At the moment, Flame King City was not yet inhabited, so the sewers had not started transporting feces or wastewater.
“Lighting is a big issue. The tunnels are built deep underground where light cannot reach, making it easy for evil to breed here,” Liszt said to Goltai and the accompanying others. Goltai had been appointed to specifically oversee the construction of Flame King City.
The former down-and-out Honored Knight had now become a Viscount and was one of the members of the Development Committee.
“Your Majesty, once Flame King City is operational, I will order the establishment of a special inspection Knight Order to protect the safety of the tunnels, ensuring that no filth survives here!” Goltai declared emphatically, having already adapted well to his rising status alongside Liszt.
Although he was still just an Apprentice Knight in terms of strength, as Liszt’s spokesperson, he wouldn’t sell himself short.
“Inspection is certainly necessary. After all, the tunnels are not just for transporting feces, wastewater, and trash, but also part of the emergency and supply routes… However, if the lighting problem is not resolved, it will always be a hidden danger. Has the Magic Guild not developed any outcomes yet?”
“I’m not sure about that; the management of the Magic Guild is not part of my duties. Chris and Kenley, the two presidents, should be aware. Your Majesty, would you like me to contact them?”
Members of the Development Committee had their own distinct responsibilities and rarely overstepped.
Committee Chairman Li Weiliam Tulip was responsible for overall coordination, Vice-Chairman Dimaria Yuhua Stone for diplomacy, Emily for military affairs, Piero Grey Iron for trade, Elton Golden Chrysanthemum Medal for agriculture, Geoffrey Begonia for justice, Durt Red Apricot for communications, and Paris for finance.
Goltai Mast was in charge of urban construction, Marcus Wheel of education… The two special committees, Chris Truth was responsible for external liaisons between the Magic Guild and various departments of the Flame Kingdom, and Kenley Truth for scientific research work of the Magic Guild.
“Contact them,”
Liszt said.
Soon Goltai commanded his assistant to send a message using the Magic Platform and connected with Chris and Kenley. Liszt directly asked, “How is the progress on the magic lamp bulbs I tasked the Magic Guild with developing?”
“Your Majesty, we have achieved preliminary results. The issue of magic power illumination has been resolved, but glass cannot replace crystal to stably harness the magic. We still haven’t found a material that can replace crystal, and we have yet to develop the magic lamp bulbs you desire.”
Magic lamp bulbs, as the name suggests, are lamp bulbs powered by magic.
This world should have the physical phenomenon of magnetism generating electricity, but Liszt did not understand this area and was unable to delve deeper into development. After all, even the steam engine had not yet been properly refined. Thus, he decided to bypass electrical energy and directly use magic to achieve some high-tech advancements.
Magic lamp bulbs were one such concept. Crystal lamp equipment already existed as a form of magic equipment. The only thing needed now was to mass-produce these crystal lamps at a low cost.
Once magic lamp bulbs were developed, the city’s nights would also be thoroughly illuminated, which would greatly extend working hours.
Previously, most people would obediently go to bed at night, but with magic lamp bulbs, they could at least work until midnight with the lights on, which would undoubtedly greatly enhance labor efficiency.
Liszt couldn’t help but urge Chris and Kenley, “Hurry and focus, breakthrough the shackles of thought, explore more materials. If even the magic light emission has been solved, how hard can it be to find a suitable medium! Tell those arcanists that whoever finds the right material, I will fund them to establish their own magic laboratory!”
