Chapter 210 The Baths of Caracalla (Part 2)
Since being promoted by Bruno to the director of the Idar Immigration Administration, Lister has spent less and less time with Bruno.
After all... in today's Idar Territory, regardless of whether they are immigrants or not, almost all matters related to population are managed by the Idar Immigration Administration.
Even the Idar Maternity Hospital located in the city of Idar is under the jurisdiction of the Idar Immigration Administration.
There was no way. Idar Territory was a small piece of land and everything was still in its infancy. Bruno couldn't do anything fancy for the time being.
So Bruno let Lister concentrate on managing the many affairs of the Idar Immigration Administration, and selected a new personal butler from among the servants in the lord's castle to serve him - Mundell.
People like Shabi, L'Hôpital, and Liszt were originally just servants in the lord's castle, but now they have been sent out by Bruno to take up important positions. This is not because Bruno is nepotistic.
This is because the servants working in the lord's castle can be regarded as the few guys who have received systematic education in the entire Idar territory.
Because before Bruno's soul traveled through time, Mr. Nicholas's teaching progress was so slow that the servants in the castle had already understood most of it before the original body had even learned it...
Mundell's presence in the lord's castle was not very high before, but his loyalty to Bruno was evident to all, and his efficiency was no less than that of Lister and others.
At this moment, accompanied by Mundell, Bruno finally stepped into the Baths of Caracalla, which had cost a lot of manpower and material resources to build.
Under White Barrell's meticulous supervision, the decoration and construction of the Baths of Caracalla perfectly matched the requirements on the drawings. Although the Idar people used new building materials such as reinforced concrete in many places, they did not make major changes to the appearance of the entire building.
The interior of the Baths of Caracalla is entirely made of marble, with mosaic floors. There are not only murals and statues, but also specially built fountains and gardens in the square in the middle of the Baths of Caracalla.
This made Bruno, who had just entered the bathing area, couldn't help but admire it again and again.
The Baths of Caracalla have two floors above ground and one floor underground, and do not look too high.
The first floor is a public bath and hot spring bath, while the second floor is a private bathroom and rooms such as a gym, massage room, and steam room. As for the underground, there are pipes, boiler rooms, and future employee lounges.
The main building of the bathhouse is rectangular and completely symmetrical on both sides. There are two spacious circular arches in front and behind, which looks majestic.
But the most amazing thing is the glass windows used in the Baths of Caracalla.
The windows on all four sides are large and bright to ensure that sunlight can shine in at any time during the day. At the same time, Bruno also specially raised the position of the windows to ensure light transmission while protecting privacy.
This was the first large-scale application of the translucent glass windows produced by the Idar Glass Workshop. Although they did not have the colorful decorations and tones like stained glass, they had a more simple beauty.
For this era, these completely transparent glasses are enough to be regarded as works of art.
The Baths of Caracalla were the first [SSSS]-level wonder that Bruno ordered to be built in Idar, which allowed Bruno to obtain a one-time construction reward of up to 200 Brilliance Points.
In the process of building the Baths of Caracalla, the people of Idar displayed extraordinary wisdom under the collaboration of chief engineer White Barrell and master sculptor Andy.
By making subtle adjustments to the window positions and building layout, not only do the large, fully light-transmitting glass windows fit in perfectly with the Baths of Caracalla, but the Baths of Caracalla’s spectacle completion rating has also been directly improved!
This was a pleasant surprise for Bruno! Under Mondale's guidance, Bruno entered a private bathroom on the second floor. In the bathroom, rose petals were floating on the clear water that had been adjusted to a suitable temperature in advance.
"From now on, this bathroom belongs exclusively to this Earl!" Bruno instructed.
It would be fine if he was taking a shower, but as he has a slight obsession with mysophobia, he is not used to soaking in a small pool with others.
"I understand!" Mundell replied quickly.
After the servants who had served him retreated to the outside one by one, Bruno jumped into the steaming hot pool. The warm water stimulated his skin, making him feel comfortable.
Ever since he traveled through time, Bruno could only curl up in a small wooden tub to take a bath. It had been a long time since he had such a comfortable bath.
Through the ancient Roman aqueduct, clear river water from the upper reaches of the Idar River was introduced into the city of Idar, providing sufficient water for the Baths of Caracalla.
Although according to the wonder construction system, Bruno has completed the construction of the ancient Roman aqueduct and activated the third wonder bonus, Bruno does not intend to stop there.
Supplying water to the Baths of Caracalla was only one of the uses of the ancient Roman aqueduct, but what Bruno wanted to do more was to complete the water supply for the entire territory of Idar.
Bruno certainly hopes to build a tap water system for the city of Idar, but unfortunately... the territory of Idar cannot do this yet.
But... it is completely feasible to build several new water supply stations by expanding the coverage of the ancient Roman aqueduct!
This will undoubtedly save many civilians and serfs the trouble of going to the Idar River outside the city to fetch water, greatly improving the living standards of the Idar people.
Especially in the cold winter, this allows the Idar people to obtain a stable source of water without having to leave the city, which can be regarded as Bruno's selfless care for the civilians.
…
Due to its proximity to the northern border, the climate in the Songn Plain has become somewhat cold.
Today, the lord's castle that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Cornelius family has become the residence of the second prince Rez Alexander and the imperial marshal Theodoro.
The second prince, Rez, stood on the top terrace of the lord's castle and looked far to the north.
The second prince, Rez, was wearing exquisite armor. He held the fence in front of him tightly with both hands, and a hint of worry was revealed in his light blue eyes.
Odin's army was stationed at the end of Rez's sight. Tents of all sizes were connected together, which looked quite spectacular. This made him frown.
The news from St. Lawrence had already reached the Sogn Plain. Even the highly-anticipated Second Prince Rez felt somewhat at a loss at this moment.
The advantage that the Norman Empire's army had originally built up with the lives of countless serfs was shattered the moment the rumor came. When Rez walked in the military camp, he seemed to feel that the way everyone looked at him had become different.
As if in the blink of an eye,
Was he accused of murdering his father and usurping the throne?
When Rez thought of his brother who was bossing people around in the imperial capital, Saint Lawrence, he felt particularly angry.
It was absolutely impossible to just sit there and wait for death. Based on his understanding of Pittsman's character, if he went back now, the biggest possibility was that he would be hacked to death!
How abominable...
