Chapter 347 The Day That Can’t Stop
“Captain, it’s time for morning prayers.”
“Mr. Kraft, breakfast is left on the table for you. By the way, it was missing yesterday. class, as well as last week’s teaching reference.”
“Leader, are you going to provide guidance for today’s morning exercise?”
“Father, the night duty schedule for next week has been completed. Please take a look.”
"Sir, this is the cost of all repair materials and labor last month. In addition, the carpenter said that there is not enough oak in Priyer. Should he purchase it elsewhere or use other wood instead? The effect may be."
"Dear Dean, His Excellency the Baron would like to know if you have time recently to give some enlightenment on faith and discuss the purchase of land as mentioned before."
"My brother, according to usual experience, we'd better discuss a wheat purchase plan with the farmers before the harvest season and prepare for winter as soon as possible."
"Leader, we have made a list of what we have discovered so far. List of damaged monastery buildings, which ones do you think should be repaired first?”
“Teacher, uh, it’s nothing, you go ahead”
"The masons said that there are not enough manpower, so it is best to hire people from down the mountain to help."
"Captain, there is another letter with your name written on it, but the title is lecturer. Will you send it? Wrong?”
“Captain, what I said before”
“Captain!”
“Captain?”
"Mr. Kraft? The breakfast seems to be cold. Do you want to exchange it for you?"
"Thank you, no need. The bread slices will be returned to the kitchen stove to be reheated, just in time to be served with lunch. ." A stiff, lifeless face slowly raised its face to face the visitor.
Although it was very immoral, Kupp still instinctively thought of the stereotyped face he talked about a few days ago, which is usually seen in some serious neuropsychiatric diseases. The rest of the treatment plan in that class was never made up. I don’t know. No, or no time.
"Are you okay?"
"You're still alive for now." Kraft swept away the wet ink on the paperwork, lay on the table, and pulled the soup bowl in front of him.
There are a few vegetable leaves embedded in the white grease floating on the surface, like a sailboat frozen by ice, which makes people really unappetizing.
"What's the matter?"
"Uh, indeed." Coop wanted to give a negative answer, but he was indeed not just here to visit, "They asked me to ask Asked if there is a tower that should be added to the list of repairs? "
"Which one has been discussed earlier?" Kraft reviewed the drawings and saw several towers attached to the main building. The situation is mostly in good condition, and I don't think anything needs major repairs.
"No, they found a new one, at the top of the mountain."
"Where did the tower come from?" As early as the second day after arriving, I had walked around all around. In my impression, the top of the mountain should be a piece of flat land without much development.
"To be precise, there was a tower. They didn't know what it was used for, so they came to ask."
"Oh, take me to see it." Architecture A major matter like whether to allocate funds for repairs must be approved by the dean, and you should go there anyway.
Like an evil spirit that had been imprisoned by the high walls of the monastery for twenty years, Kraft left his chair with empty steps, drifting through the cloisters that were sprinkled with water and the courtyard where weeds were pulled out, and followed Kuppan who was feeling cold behind him. Go to the top of the mountain.
Among the bushes and weeds, I saw what was called a "tower", a... pool?
Near the cliff, a square depression was carved out of the rock foundation, and a few pieces of masonry and rotten wood were soaked in the turbid water.
It’s not that I didn’t notice this place when I first came up. I just thought it was a water reservoir that was used for some bathing activities that needed to be held here. There is even a drainage channel next to it to divert excess water away.
“Where is the tower?” Kraft almost suspected that someone was trying to defraud him of funds.
"Your Excellency, this is the foundation of the tower." The stonemason brought from Dunling had excellent professional skills and showed no timidity in the face of the dean's questioning.
"I thought it was a pool at first, but the stones were too regular and it would take a lot of effort to cut them out. It wouldn't be necessary to just store water, so I cleaned up the surrounding area." He pointed to the pool exposed after removing the weeds and loose soil. Drilling holes, "These are holes for installing wooden piles, anchors, and scaffolding. They are dismantled after they are completed."
" Then these trenches are not used to divert water?”
“No, they are indeed used to divert water. The stone foundation does not seep water, and it will be difficult to work if it accumulates too much.”
“.”
The mason became nervous. Although he was sure that his judgment was correct, who knew whether the answer might offend someone inexplicably?
He wanted to say something more, such as admitting that it was just based on past experience and lacked higher-level wisdom. However, the dean's attendant who had been standing by his side held his shoulders and gently shook his head to indicate that there was no need to say anything more.

Craft did not keep them waiting for long, "Why must it be a tower?"
"The foundation is not wide, but it is very Deep, no need for other buildings."
"But where did it go?" A tower is not a building block. It can be built or demolished at any time.
"It's probably a matter of the center of gravity. The remaining wood is very thick. I guess it was originally a column, but it could only have been crushed by itself. Otherwise, such a large piece of wood would be used for other purposes if it was dismantled." The carpenter guessed, not forgetting to mention it by the way. Talking about building materials, "If you want to rebuild, I suggest you use oak, which is denser and less susceptible to damage." "Insect-eaten."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your work. Let's go ahead. We will inform you about the reconstruction after we discuss it."
Craft. He nodded towards the craftsmen and put on an ineffective professional smile to show his recognition of the meticulous work. Coop knew how to drive away the crowd.
When he returned to Kraft, the latter was circling the foundation with his head lowered. The circle became wider and wider, and finally stopped at the edge of the cliff, with the valley at his feet in the morning mist.
“Do you have any instructions?”
"Take someone to search below tomorrow. Don't take too many. Two or three are enough."
"What are you looking for?"
"The remnants of the tower, as well as some things and Their signs, you know what I'm talking about." The professor pondered for a moment, then suddenly added, "Take Yvonne with you and assign her some serious work. "
The guardian who was so busy finally remembered that he still had such a student: "By the way, what is she doing recently?"
"She is probably busy with her homework, sometimes. Take the initiative to help clean up the monastery, provided that the monks are willing to exchange the stories in their stomachs.”
"That's good. I always feel that she is a little prejudiced against everyone, which will not be good for future interpersonal relationships."
"You are worrying too much. She gets along well with everyone and has her own "You can't treat it like a child." Instead of worrying about other people's mental state, Kupp felt that Kraft should worry more about his own affairs.
"By the way, what do you want for lunch?"
"Pick one and put it on the table. I'll eat it right away. No, I'll eat it after looking at it."
