The Origin of Arcane

Man Yu's army lacked stone materials, so even with the location of the Jacob River, it would be a very extravagant thing to transport bricks and stones for thousands of miles.

The burnt earth used by Yong Ye's army is made of bricks, which is most suitable here.

The sand and soil are ready-made, and black coal stones are available as much as you want. You can open a kiln to fire any piece of land.

Now the Yong Ye army leader is negotiating further cooperation with Angel Bena, such as glass and ceramic firing, which are large coal-consuming industries, will be transferred to a part of her territory, and the production cost will be further reduced by reducing the transportation consumption of black coal mines.

It's just an intention at the moment. The premise of doing this is that Angel Bena has absolute control over her territory. Sean is not like the technology he has worked so hard to research, which was leaked within two days.

But this is definitely a major trend in the future, because the transportation capacity of the Jacob River has an upper limit, especially in the section of the river that is located in the Yongye Army, and some places are quite narrow.

At that time, the distribution of goods will have to be carried out.

Of course, this is still a long way off. According to the current development speed of the Yongye Army, it will not be possible to saturate the transportation of the Jacob River in ten or eight years.

The development of any territory is closely related to funds.

With the injection of a large amount of funds, even a remote village can be turned into a fairyland.

If there is no funds, even if it is guarding a piece of fertile soil, it will not be able to develop by itself.

Angel Bena City has both geographical advantages, funds, and sufficient technical support. It is difficult not to think about it.

It is still incomparable with Valesta, the capital of the king, but compared to Solo City, the real capital of the Man Yu army, it is only worse than nothing.

Especially in recent years, Solo City has been severely damaged.

First, there was an uprising of slave gladiators, which severely damaged the place, and then changed owners several times.

When the Jacob River resumed its flow, the first wave of flood peaks raged here again.

In recent years, Cardinal St. George and the new Grand Duke Patlem have used this place as a wrestling field again, changing their orders day and night, with various policies coming out, causing conflicts in government orders, nobles standing in line, and so on.

All kinds of strange things happened one after another, not to mention the dazzle of ordinary citizens, even those nobles and nobles were a little incapable of accepting it.

The most important thing is that the two pillar industries here, slave gladiators and slave trade, have both collapsed, and many people have lost their means of livelihood.

There is no way to maintain the consumption of a huge city by farming alone, and there are many escapees.

Even if Patlem introduced various policies, it still couldn't stop it.

Man Yu's military leadership, once the largest city, is on the verge of decline.

Come in and sit down? Angel Bernardo invited Sean.

Next time, the time is a bit tight this time, I have to get to Valesta before the New Year. Sean refused with a smile.

Could you tell me what New Year's gift you prepared for Her Royal Highness the Princess Regent this time? You, the lord, are actually allowed to do it yourself? Angel Bena asked curiously.

It won't take long, and you'll know. I believe it's more interesting to listen to gossip about this matter. Sean said with a grin.

So, it's a big deal again this time? The more Sean concealed it, the more Angie Bella felt itchy.

Every time this guy meets, he can bring surprises to people.

Especially the gift giving to Princess Regent Sophilia was never done in secret.

But aboveboard, beating gongs and drums, lest others don't know.

That's what he did when he first traveled to Valesta.

Last year's New Year's also did the same. Although the gifts were not as rich as the first time, it still turned the envious eyes of Valesta's wives and ladies into rabbits.

The theme of the last New Year's gift was silk clothing. There were a variety of silk clothing and several horse-drawn carriages, which were enough for the Princess Regent to attend various dinner parties throughout the year without repeating the same.

As for advertising the silk clothing of Yong Ye's military collar, it was just incidental.

It was also that time that the luxury goods market led by the Eternal Night Army in Valesta was truly opened up.

Now everyone in Valesta is still scolding Xiao En as an upstart behind his back, showing his disdain, but there are countless people who secretly wish to become an upstart like the leader of the Yongye Army, or have such an upstart Give them gifts.

Angel Bella, a different kind of traditional aristocrat, rarely agrees with Sean's idea of ​​gift giving.

Isn't gift-giving just a matter of saving face, and it needs to be seen by the world?

Sean just smiled without saying a word, and he didn't mean to take her to see the gift prepared for Princess Regent Sophilia this time.

Secrecy is only one aspect, on the other hand, this guy has always been very greedy, if he knew that he gave the regent Princess Sophilia a sky mount, he would have to stalk his ass and ask for one.

If you can refute face-to-face, do as little as possible.

Although Angie Bella could still get the news afterwards, if she wanted to stalk her, she had to be able to catch Xiao En.

After three to five years, the formation led by the Yong Ye army took shape, and it would be a good idea to give her one.

Stingy. Angie Bella returned to her car angrily.

Just like Sean understands her nature, after so many years of dating, she has more or less figured out Sean's character.

Although he usually looks harmless to humans and animals, and looks easy to talk, it is actually just a disguise for him in front of others. In his bones, he is a proud and stubborn person. At least the things he insists on, few people can change. .

At least Angel Bella has nothing to do with him.

See you later. Sean smiled and waved at Angel Bena and her city, and continued on the road.

For the next few hundred kilometers, they sailed smoothly into the port of Duo City, a satellite city of Valesta. The guards headed by Baozi had been waiting for a long time.

Because Sean often used a black collar, his guards couldn't keep up with the high and low going back and forth between the Eternal Night Army Commander and the capital Valesta.

The leader of the Yongye army simply stationed a hundred guards in the capital of Vallesta as a guard, waiting to be dispatched at any time. Xiao En's champion knight's personal bodyguard, Baozi, has also stayed at the capital of Vallesta.

After all, he is more useful here. For one thing, when Xiao En was in the Yongye army, most of them would be with his generals, and he didn't need guards at all. If someone really came to the door, the generals of the Yongye army would And Ralph, the intelligence chief, can collectively take the blame and resign.

Secondly, Valesta, the capital of the kingdom, does not belong to my own territory. There are mixed fish and dragons here, and any kind of moth can happen. No matter how careful you are, you can't be too cautious.

Lord, everything is ready for departure. A tall knight in sealed heavy armor reported to Sean in a low voice.

His helmet was held sideways, his face was covered with criss-cross scars, and there were shallow irregular stitches on the scars, which made him look like a puppet pieced together with needles and threads, very permeable.

There is only one person who has this appearance in the Eternal Night Army - Xiao En's champion knight bodyguard, Baozi.

Everyone who knows his name knows that Baozi is a fool with a brain problem.

But judging by his current performance, if anyone still thinks so, he must be a fool.

Baozi's current appearance is somewhat dull, but his words and deeds, as well as his alert and vigilant eyes, definitely cannot be compared to a fool.

In other words, Baozi's intelligence has now recovered.

Speaking of it, this has nothing to do with Valesta.

Don't forget what Baozi's original nickname was - Butcher of Valesta, as the name suggests, the butcher from Valesta.

Valesta, the capital of the kingdom, is his hometown.

Setting foot on the familiar land again, he actually had a strong stimulation to his brain, which had not improved for a long time. Not to mention, he recovered some memories one after another, and his IQ recovered to some extent. A style of acting on instinct.

Back then in the arena, Spartak caused most of the injuries to Baozi, and did not seriously damage his brain.

His amnesia and mental decline are purely brain damage caused by taking too much psychedelics and trauma.

The reason why he was able to recover, in addition to the factor of returning to his hometown to experience the scene, the champion knight's enchanting self-recovery ability also contributed.

The steamed stuffed bun that regained memory was no longer steamed stuffed bun, but Sir Herbert Salter.

His loyalty to Sean has not changed because of the recovery of memory.

Baozi is no longer Baozi, but Herbert Selt is no longer the Herbert Selt of ten years.

During his time as Baozi, he only lost his memory, not his memory function. The bits and pieces of the past ten years, everything he experienced was in his mind.

Having regained his thinking ability, he knows very well who is really good to him.

Simple things are the most precious.

After he recovered his memory, Sean gave him a chance to choose. He chose to give up his former Jazz status and continue to serve Sean.

Well done, let's go. Xiao En nodded, got into his carriage, and before putting down the door curtain, he remembered something, turned to Herbert and asked, There is still no news?

Herbert's face twitched involuntarily, making those scars more obvious and terrifying. A trace of uncontrollable sadness flashed in his eyes, and he shook his head and said, Not yet.

At a time like this, no news is the best news. They must still be waiting for you somewhere. Hawkeye Secret Service has passed on the news and will help you pay attention. Sean comforted .

Thank you, Lord Lord. Herbert showed a touch of emotion.

Having followed Sean for so many years, I am very clear about his strictness. For myself, this is obviously a public tool for private use.

Don't give up, I believe you will have a family reunion one day. Sean sighed, This is my mistake. Ten years ago, I should have thought of sending someone to find your family. In this case, your The family members don’t have to suffer from displacement.”

My lord, there is no need to blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you. If you want to blame yourself, you should also blame myself. If it weren't for ten years ago, I accompanied Wendi to act willfully and recklessly, how could it be today. Herbert shook his head and said, I Won't give up, as long as I'm alive, I'll be looking for one day.

As long as you look for it, there is hope. Sean can only answer like this.

Herbert, who recovered his memory, tried to find his family back. Unfortunately, many things will happen in ten years, especially when the pillar of a family falls, it is difficult for a woman to bring two children in the capital of Vallesta. live on.

According to the news from the investigation, they only persisted in Valesta for two years before going bankrupt. Herbert's wife left with their two children and returned to their hometown. Since then, there has been no news of them. It has never appeared in Herbert's fiefdom.

As for Herbert's fiefdom, it had been taken back by the Adolf family long ago and conferred on others.

Like the Yongye military leader, there are not many territories with a complete pension system. The pension policy of many territories depends entirely on the personal character of the local lord. Care, if the character is bad, it will not care about their life or death.

The Adolf family obviously belonged to the latter. When you still have the value of use, they can lift you up to the sky. When you lose the value of use or die, it is worthless.

This is also one of the reasons why the Adolf family did not come to their door after Herbert re-disclosed his identity. After all, what they did ten years ago was unkind. Do you still expect Herbert to still swear allegiance to them?

Of course, the great power of the Yong Ye army is also a factor that cannot be ignored.

The Adolf family had just suffered a defeat, and the one who defeated them was the Kingsley family's Eastern Army led by the Yong Ye Army.

Even if they were given the courage to be brave, they would not dare to provoke the Yong Ye army leader at this time.

If Sean is replaced by a real baron, they will definitely not easily let go of a ready-made champion knight.

The gift-giving team led by Xiao En has just started, and the knights led by the Yongye Army have already gone out several times. They all announced the good news to the regent princess Sophilia in advance, and told them straightforwardly that the leader of the Yongye Army is presenting a pair of griffins. .

Xiao En's convoy was only halfway through, and the news spread throughout the entire capital of Valesta like wings.

How is it? My lord, this move of mine is better than ours, isn't it? The thin woman sitting opposite Sean in the carriage said with a smile.

Compared to Sophia's trick, the method we used before is really outdated, too old-fashioned, and too nouveau riche. No wonder people put a nouveau riche hat on my head. Sean echoed and sighed.

Compared with what others let them hear, they believe more in what they overheard or saw. Sophia crossed her legs gracefully, a touch of whiteness flashed under the cheongsam, and her slender legs The silk on the top and the cheongsam complement each other, and it will become the focus of attention before you know it.

Sean can't be completely exempt, after all, he is also a man, a man of vigorous blood, and after his relationship with Sophie Liya has improved, his self-control in this aspect has dropped several levels, and the devil is born from the heart. If there are too many thoughts, it is easy to cause problems. It seems that I have been too free recently. As long as I get busy, I will naturally not have so many messy thoughts.

Sophia didn't seem to notice Sean's gaze, and then analyzed, Outside the palace, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at it every day, and if there is a slight disturbance, it will spread throughout Valesta at the fastest speed. This word will arouse the interest of countless people, and they will take the initiative to promote us, which is much more effective than us doing it ourselves.

I didn't expect that Sophia is not only good at fashion design, but also excellent in espionage work. Now she has studied psychology so thoroughly. It seems that you have integrated well in Valesta. Sean looked at his family with great interest. The first tailor of the territory.

There are no ugly women, only lazy women and women who can't dress up.

This sentence is very suitable for Sophia.

When Sean came to Valesta, the royal capital for the first time, she was still dark and thin and very inconspicuous. Sean introduced Sophie Liya, saying that she was the number one tailor in his territory. confidence.

Now she is bright and charming, not only wearing a tailor-made cheongsam, but also wearing Valesta's most popular hairstyle at the moment, with light makeup and light makeup, which is no worse than those noble ladies.

No, to be more precise, it is better.
