Chapter 95: Annexation and the Mechanical Tree Man (available next Monday)
...
After confirming that Ricardo personally serves as the lord of the Wind Wolf Territory,
Sir Parison still needs to confirm the death of Baron Wind Wolf with his own eyes before leaving.
Ricardo could only bid farewell to Paris first.
Then he took the prisoner Baron Wind Wolf and went to the dungeon of the Wind Wolf Territory Castle for an 'interrogation'.
After obtaining a lot of information about the Frostwind Territory, the Wind Wolf Territory, the Thieves Guild and even his half-brother Kerry, he ended the life of Baron Wind Wolf.
This aristocratic elite who completed the title upgrade in this generation died under Ricardo's sword.
"The baron title and documents will be sent to the Ice Lake Territory within a few days." "
The messenger from the Provincial Central Council will usually personally confirm that they are delivered to you."
Sir Parson after confirming the death of Baron Wind Wolf , and then left with peace of mind.
Ricardo watched Sir Parson leave.
He was thoughtful about Baron Wind Wolf's last words before his death.
One is that the old Lord Binghu died of illness. It was indeed Viscount Frostwind who hired the Shagang County Thieves Guild to do it.
The thieves guild at that time dispatched spellcasters to carry out the curse, and Viscount Frostwind also contacted the thieves guild in Pansen County. The thieves guild there has not yet been banned, and it complements the business of the original thieves guild in Shagang County... Pansen
County The thieves guild in Mori County is better at cultivating assassins.
The second is the Thieves Guild, and the group of spellcasters behind the Thieves Guild. They have been trying to find evil realms over the years, and may even be summoning some evil realms with specific characteristics.
These evil realms are related to the legendary Cold Snow Secret Realm, because the Cold Snow Secret Realm may form a secret passage in Shagang County, making it possible to summon that evil realm.
Ricardo's half-brother Kerry is not a spellcaster, but he once worked in the Thieves Guild. Today, like the rest of the Thieves Guild, he is still hiding somewhere in Sarport County.
"No matter what, there will still be tall people holding on even if the sky falls."
"With a strong person like Lady Vera sitting in charge, I'd better grow up peacefully."
Ricardo will send an owl letter to Paris with this information.
However, since Paris left early, it means that he has judged that the secrets known to Baron Wind Wolf are information that has already been discovered by the authorities.
...
Ricardo recorded the action mode for the clone Evil Flower Spirit Puppet, and continued to arrange the clone in the dungeon to start harvesting malice.
On the other hand, he also participated in the occupation of the Wind Wolf Territory by the Ice Lake Territory.
"The Ice Lake Territory originally covered an area of nearly 100 square kilometers, with a village of 6,000 people, five sealed Death Raid Knight manors, five natural villages, and scattered adventurer and mercenary strongholds..." "After annexing the Wind Wolf
Territory , the area of the new Ice Lake Territory will expand to more than 300 square kilometers, with an additional town of 10,000 people, five more ownerless knight manors, three sealed knight manors, and eight natural villages..." "Still
. There is an extra noble castle! In addition, various facilities, such as the blacksmith shop, the stables in the castle, etc... are all of great value..."
In the castle.
Ricardo and Andrew looked at the map on the wall of the Lord's Hall.
His heart was filled with a sense of gain.
Although in this war, for him to improve his combat power, he must rely on the Flower of Evil and Lady Vera's support for him in the future.
But the experience of growing up in a medieval countryside gave him a special sense of satisfaction in acquiring territory.
As for the harvested gold coins, treasures, horses, and the equipment and armor accumulated by the Wind Wolf family over the years, it goes without saying.
The old Lord of Ice Lake and Baron Wind Wolf are both outstanding nobles, and they have accumulated a large number of armors.
Including the batch brought by Ricardo, the total number of armors currently owned by the Binghu family is already more than that of many declining Viscount families.
Armor is extremely valuable.
Whether it was one manor per suit of armor in the previous life in the Middle Ages, or Nurhar's accumulation of thirteen pairs of armor and his rebellion, all illustrate the value of armor.
The brothers had afternoon tea together.
The two talked a lot.
"...Brother, actually yesterday, the in-laws' Golden Deer Family sent a banquet invitation letter. You know, in the past, because of the mountain wolf bandit group that lay across the Panxue Forest, we have had contact with the Golden Deer Family for more than ten years. Less and less..."
"In the past, the two Lords of Golden Deer would directly cross the forest to conduct trade with Binghu Town. This line has been paralyzed for many years..." "Now that the Mountain Wolf
Bandit Group has disappeared, Golden Deer The family is preparing to hold a week-long gathering at Pansen Forest Manor in the past few days. I hope that as many people from our family can participate... Because of the matter of the Wind Wolf Leader, I never mentioned it... Originally, I was planning to let some branch members go..."
Andrew road.
Ricardo understood that the two lords of the Jinlu family had two noble territories, one of which and the Ice Lake Territory were separated by a short section of the Panxue Forest extending southward.
In the past, the trade route from Golden Deer Territory to Ice Lake Territory was paralyzed because of the Mountain Wolf Bandit Group.
The Jinlu family could have gone directly through the forest to visit the Binghu family, but now they had to go to Pansen County and take the main road, then detour to Shagang County and then come to Binghu County.
Now, the bandit group has been wiped out, and the relationship between the two families can be restored to a close relationship.
'Exactly, I can look for a low-risk evil environment near this line, and open up an extra teleportation point for future use... If the evil environment matches what Vera said, it will be related to mirrors, ice and snow, and destiny. If you have connections, you can earn high amounts of merit...'
Ricardo thought quickly.
He felt that if there was a suitable evil environment near the banquet location, it would be good for him to join in and feel the atmosphere of the family gathering.
Moreover, Teresa told him before that the old Lord Golden Deer believed the rumors that he was injured.
This kind of thing can be clarified by the way when the time comes.
"The war is over. Now we have sealed off the towns to prevent news from flowing too fast. It is not advisable to go to the county. At this time, it would be good to talk to the Jinlu family about re-establishing trade lines. I will participate depending on the situation..." Ricardo
said The matter to be discussed was left to Andrew.
He also wanted to see if there was a suitable evil environment near Panxue Forest Manor.
When the time comes, you can solve a bad situation by the way, gain malice and merit, and participate in family gatherings.
…
after afternoon tea.
Ricardo and Andrew continued working.
But soon, Ricardo discovered that many things involving two territories were too inefficient.
Flower Manor and Wind Wolf Baron Castle are less than ten kilometers apart.
But because there are many woods, hills and winding mountain roads in the middle, this section of the road takes nearly two hours.
It also takes more than an hour for the messenger to ride on horseback.
Also, the straight-line distance between Binghu Ling and Golden Deer Ling is actually not much, but because of the forest and bandits, contact has become less and less in the past ten years.
Ricardo had already thought about the problem of building roads.
He thought of the modern world of Leaky Cauldron Alley.
In a city as big as London in the modern world, it is possible to build such a community, and this community also involves an underground building system to prevent the common people from discovering it. It is estimated that there is no shortage of modern wizard black technology.
In addition, the precision instruments driven by magic stones or energy ores left by old Richard in the basement, and the way in which modern technology integrates the characteristics of wizard civilization are all eye-catching.
Ricardo immediately teleported to the modern world, contacted Olivan, and told him his needs.
When he detoured to the Triangle Memories Bar and came to the Magical Plant Shop.
Mr. Olivan has invited a clerk from the Wizarding Equipment Store to the store.
The clerk took out a beautiful picture album in a modern style.
Turned to one of the pages.
On the page of the album, Ricardo saw a mechanical version of a tree man with a rather steampunk style.
"Mr. Ricardo, this engineering equipment from our company meets your needs."
"Road-digging engineering mechanical tree man - 2005 model."
"You can remotely control this mechanical tree man by one person, and control it to open roads in the wild mountains and rivers. Its daily workload is to open 5-10 kilometers of roads every day, and it can add spells to allow mortals to ignore the abnormalities and gradually adapt to the changes in the road environment in the next two weeks." ...
