Release that Witch - Chapter 1332

[Chapter 1296 Skyrim Visitors]

“Father…do we really need to do this?”

In an open space outside the City of Glory, Horn Quinn looked at the busy workers from a distance, and asked with some dissatisfaction.

In front of the two of them was a rectangular flat square, with a length of about a thousand meters and a width of only about half—since the graycastle engineering team entered the morning light, a new method of measuring length was also spread among the nobles. .

Different from those squares in Wangdu that are made of beautiful bricks and stones, its surface is completely paved with cement, which looks gray, neither colorful nor distinctive.

If I have to say one advantage, I am afraid that it is convenient to repair. It only took less than a week from leveling the land to building it.

But even so, the workers involved in the construction are all from the team cultivated by the Quinn family themselves, which shows how much they value it.

“Oh?” Horford Quinn, the current Lord of Dawn, glanced at him with interest, “What are you referring to?”

“Your Majesty Roland’s instructions are too many,” Horn said, pointing his fingers, “It’s building bridges and roads, and it’s a big project that takes tens of miles. You gather all the long-term workers in the family to do it.” These, what about the work in the territory? There are still several parts of the castle that need to be repaired and have not been started yet.”

Of course, his dissatisfaction is definitely not these two points.

Father’s request for the King of Graycastle is really too high.

It can even be described as harming others.

For example, cement, an alchemy product that has a bright future at first glance, if it is monopolized in the hands of the family, it will definitely bring huge profits.

However, just because His Majesty Roland’s letter said “please expand its production as soon as possible”, my father summoned the nobles into the palace and announced the formula in public.

With the strength of the major chambers of commerce under the aristocrats, several cement factories were indeed established in a short period of time, but the income of the Quinn family was undoubtedly reduced.

When it came time to build roads, the situation was reversed.

Those big nobles pushed back and forth one by one, and my father simply came by himself.

From recruiting manpower to cooperating with the Graycastle Engineering Department to complete the construction, the Quinn family is responsible for everything.

This is by no means a small fee. Although the annexation of the Moya royal family’s property has greatly increased the family’s strength, it can also be spent as quickly as water.

Watching the coins in the vault decrease day by day, Horn said it was impossible not to feel distressed.

The key point is that road construction is not equal to commercial investment. The Golden Dragon that has paid for business may be exchanged for more wealth, but what can the road connecting Mobei River to Cage Mountain earn back?

It’s not even within the territory controlled by the Quinn family!

Even if it can promote business development in a disguised form, the cheap ones are only those lords on the border.

Judging from the current situation, His Majesty Roland wants to build more than just one or two things. The inexplicable flat land in front of him is proof.

If such profligacy continues, the family will sooner or later encounter the dilemma of making ends meet.

In fact, he has already heard a lot of criticism from the internal branches of the family.

What upset Horn the most was his father’s attitude towards the people of Graycastle.

Not only did he personally intervene in every project, but he often called officials from the engineering department into the palace to ask about their requirements.

It would be fine if the other party was an aristocrat. The problem was that Horn had inquired clearly that these “officials” sent abroad were all of civilian origin and did not have any prominent family background.

His father, as the king of a country, invited commoners to have a conversation with him at the same table, which was really hard for him to accept.

And today, as soon as I heard that someone from Graycastle was coming to Glory City, my father led a large group of people to wait outside the city early. This is unbelievable—as a ruler, receiving him in the castle is enough respect, How can the royal family do this?

Horn suspected that his adoptive father was atoning for Andrea.

After all, all these changes started after Horford said goodbye to his daughter.

“What can I do?” Horford shrugged, “Others are unwilling to contribute, so I can’t let them come, can I? You have seen the power of Greycastle before, and you don’t think there is any support from the Wimbledon family. , can I sit firmly in this seat?”

“No, father…I didn’t ask you to fight against Graycastle,” Horn waved his hands again and again, “Just tell your subordinates to do it, and Roland Wimbledon can’t find any faults. And the required funds can also be negotiated with the local lord slowly – the transaction is a compromise, the more impatient the merchant, the easier it is to suffer, this is the truth you once taught me.”

“It’s a pity that the battle of divine will is not a transaction.”

“That’s true, but…” Horn bit his lip, and finally summoned up his courage to say, “However, some people think that you are not the Lord of Dawn, but a courtier of His Majesty Roland Wimbledon. Already!”

He originally thought that his father would be furious at these words, but the latter just stared at him for a while, and then laughed lightly, “I ask you, why is there four kingdoms on this continent instead of five?” one or three?”

“Uh…” Horn was caught off guard by the sudden change of subject, “Because…these four are the strongest families?”

“A more accurate statement is—in their respective territories.” Horford replied, “The power of a family will weaken as the distance grows. The so-called border is the critical point where the power of the two sides reaches a balance. But now , this critical point no longer exists, as long as Roland Wimbledon is willing, he can take all the territory of the Four Great Kingdoms into his pocket, if that is the case, then what is wrong with me being his vassal?”

Horn retorted subconsciously, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com “Father! Even if the army of Greycastle can fight, he can’t control such a large territory! Are you exaggerating his ability too much…”

“It’s because you haven’t realized the changes in Graycastle, kid.” Horford took a deep breath, “Roland may not have it before, but now the distance is no longer an obstacle to his rule—of course, you haven’t had a deep understanding of him With all that he has done, it is naturally hard to imagine what he has achieved.”

“How…how did you know?”

Howard smiled, “Andrea has answered my letter.”

This made Horn’s heart sink.

Just when he was about to persuade his father again, there was a sudden exclamation from a distance.

Then came a dull hum.

Horn followed the prestige and couldn’t help being slightly taken aback.

I saw a neat string of black shadows appearing in the sky, they lined up in a straight line, and were flying towards Glory City along the skyline.

Is that… a migrating bird?

But after a while, this idea was rejected, and the size of the black spot quickly grew to a point far exceeding any bird in the world, and it was still expanding.

Horn’s eyes gradually widened, it turned out to be some kind of man-made thing!

The workers who witnessed this scene couldn’t help but put down the tools in their hands and yelled.

Many passing caravans also stopped and looked up at the sky.

“It’s unbelievable…it actually made him do this.” Horford raised the corner of his mouth, “The person I want to pick up…here comes.”

Horn was stunned when he heard this sentence. Could it be that these big square birds are vehicles made by Graycastle?

how can that be!
