Chapter 141 update! Follow up on the rescue plan!
This is actually not the first time Philip has come to be Antoria.
As Leon's cousin, he has come to claim this land in the southern part of the Andal Kingdom several times in the past few years.
It's just...
that was when Leon's father was still alive.
Since Leon became the lord of the land of Antolia, this is the first time that Philip has set foot on this familiar yet unfamiliar land.
What surprised him was that after not visiting for a few years, everything before his eyes had completely changed.
So much so that since entering the city, he has repeatedly confirmed his current position with the waiters beside him.
Could it be that we came to the wrong place?
It has to be said that compared to most cities in this era, even though the current Thorn Territory is slightly crowded due to the surge in population, it is completely different from most cities in this era.
Or to be more certain, it is completely different from any other city.
This is naturally due to Leon's strict requirements for the creation of a civilized and hygienic city in Antolia.
Fully fermented feces and urine can become excellent fertilizers, and dirty cities may cause diseases to flourish.
Therefore, since Leon came to power, the young lord has promulgated a series of legal provisions that are completely incomprehensible to the people.
For example, those who urinate in the city will be fined, and those who dump excrement in the city will be punished with hard labor!
Although the citizens did not understand Leon's behavior, they fully understood the swords of the Antolian soldiers.
Especially after Leon built a large number of public toilets and feces dumping grounds in the city, the entire city of Thorn Territory could be said to have taken on a completely new look.
So much so that Philip was not used to smelling the air in the city, which was not fresh but had no stench.
But what shocked him the most was obviously not these.
The population of Antolia was what made Philip feel at a loss the most.
When did there become such a large population here? !
Philip was incomprehensible and completely incomprehensible.
In his impression, the total population of Antolia was only a few thousand people.
But now, the construction site outside the city alone had gathered a population that he had never imagined. There were probably several thousand workers on the construction site alone.
Is the gap between a marquis and a viscount so big?
Yes, although the Jimena Napson family is far away in the Principality of Doron, with the end of the civil war in the Kingdom of Andal, the branches of the Jimena family also heard the shocking news coming from the Kingdom of Andal.
The patriarch of the Jimena family, Viscount Leon Jimena of Antolia, was conferred the title of Marquis of Antolia by Wilbert I of the Kingdom of Andals for suppressing the rebellion of the nobles, replacing the former Bravis family. Became the head of the southern nobles of the Kingdom of Andal!
God knows how shocked Phillip was when he first heard the news.
He is only one year younger than Leon!
But now De Leon has become a marquis, possessing a title that he can only look up to!
Could it be that... dad's sacrifice to innocence can really boost the family's luck?
Phillip looked around, with some unreal thoughts in his heart.
But then, he trembled all over and hurriedly put away the slightly rebellious thoughts in his heart.
I am a filial son!
What's more, even if his father falls into the water, it won't be his turn to inherit the title. After all, there are two brothers above him. It's better to follow his father's words and take over from his cousin. If you hang around for a while, you might even get a title for yourself!
After all, we are all a family.
Although the relationship between the main branch and the side branches is not too close, they still have a lot of contacts on weekdays, which is at least much better than following other nobles.
So, in the banquet hall of the Lord's Castle, Philip finally met his dear cousin again.
Oops!
Why is my cousin so handsome again?
Could it be that the title of Marquis would provide a very significant bonus to personal appearance?
Phillip thought as he looked at Leon's handsome face.
In fact, to be honest, the genes of the Jimena family are quite good, and they are basically all handsome. Even if there is an ordinary guy like Philip occasionally, he still looks very stylish.
"Philip!"
Leon walked forward with a smile and gave his cousin a big hug.
Leon actually knew everything about Phillip's purpose.
But he didn't care.
This was not all because Philip arrived with him, but there were also seven or eight young talents who knew how to read and write who were highly recommended by Viscount Naplin. It was also because he had interacted with Philip a lot when he first traveled to this world. .
how to say?
Although he is unremarkable in appearance, his cousin is quite calm when doing things, and he has even given me a lot of trouble before.
Antoria is currently short of manpower. Although it is impossible to arrange these talents from afar into core positions, it can at least share some of the pressure in some obvious tasks.
"Marquis of Antolia!"
Philip's voice was slightly excited.
As a member of the Jimena family, although he is only a side descendant, he is also willing to see the prosperity of the Jimena family.
After all...
Even if Leon's current status is just a vassal, if he were placed among the small countries in the southeast of the Kingdom of Andal, he would still be a grand duke-level figure.
Although Leon, as the Marquis of Antolia, cannot directly affect the situation in the Duchy of Duolun, he can also invisibly add a lot of confidence to the branches of the family in foreign countries.
It can be said that everyone gets what he needs.
"Eat first!"
Leon personally brought Philip to sit down in the banquet hall.
Steamed pike, braised bird legs...
Looking around, except for some normal food on the plate in front of Leon, almost all the dishes placed on the long oak table came from Antoli Asian local specialties.
"Cousin, is there anything you need me to do?"
After the dinner where guests and guests enjoyed themselves, Philip asked without hesitation.
The reason why he came to Antolia was not simply to accept the hospitality of his cousin.
Rather than eating these unpalatable foods every day, Philip wanted to do something for this land and improve his abilities by the way.
Because compared to the Kingdom of Andal, whose civil war can shock the nobles for a long time, the seven eastern kingdoms, including the Duchy of Duolun, have been in chaos and conflict for a long time almost since the founding of the country.
"There really is."
Leon wiped the corner of his mouth with the handkerchief beside the table and said with a smile: "The gold mine in the sunken forest needs someone steady enough to keep an eye on it right now!" This chapter is a supplement for this week
