Able to gain the loyalty of characters like the Bone King, even if it is loyal for a limited time. So at least during this period of validity, Allen doesn't have to worry about something going wrong in the wasteland. If Mokdan is the gateway to the southern line of the Demon Empire, then the wasteland is the gateway to Alan's Foundation. The Land of the Lost is now Allen’s back garden, and Mitinas is making great efforts to build his troops relying on the rich resources of the Land. At that time, to transport the Burning Legion out of the land, he must pass through the wasteland. Of course, this door is The more solid the better.
The wasteland is not as prosperous as Mokdan, it is a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, but that is also its advantage. Merchants saw business opportunities there, while hunters and mercenaries found a little room for survival in the wasteland. There are everyone in the great wasteland, so the news of that place is also the most informed, and Mokdan can't match it. Alan has already planned to build an intelligence network of his own in the wasteland, so people like Zasso are needed to manage him, and only Zasso can make those desperadoes in the wasteland obediently obey orders.
Or even a big businessman like Gary, Allen can give him enough sweetness, and there is Zasso shock, so that he will not give birth to two hearts. After all, Alan could not stay in the wasteland. Maybe if you leave for too long, the businessman will give birth to extra thoughts. Allen knows that these people's heads are tight.
On the contrary, strong people like Zasso, as long as they are strong enough, they dare not give birth to two hearts. These people and businessmen like Gary saw a slightly different world.
On the same day, I hosted a banquet for people from far away from the wasteland. Among them, Gary and a few businessmen were the happiest. Gary can be considered a character in the wasteland, but it is very common to throw it into Mokdan, but now it is because of Alan's relationship. Just after entering Mokdan, he has received invitations from several business leaders, which was impossible in the past. No matter how stupid Gary was, he knew that his identity was now rising, and he couldn't help but be grateful that he was on the right side at the beginning.
At the banquet, Allen also exchanged his promises, and Gary and others who had sponsored him received generous returns. Especially Gary, Allen promised that he would monopolize most of the business dealings in the Great Wasteland. This made Gary even more ecstatic, and he was loyal to Allen again and again. Also attending the banquet were the upper-class figures of Mocdan. They saw Allen's appreciation of Gary, and they knew that this was essentially the message that Allen wanted to convey to them. As for what kind of response these messages can bring, only they know.
The banquet is over, but Allen is far from being able to rest. He walked into a study room and said that it was not so appropriate, because before Allen moved in, it was the room where the former city lord Gurant used to play with women. Before cleaning, there are still many special utensils in it. Of course these things have disappeared now. The butler of the City Lord’s Mansion arranged it as a study room according to human habits, but there are empty bookshelves in the room, but there are only three or two books in the collection, which seems a bit weird.
Allen turned a blind eye to this. He doesn't have the heart to pursue these dispensable furnishings now. Gris was already waiting in the study. Alice’s old butler had already contacted several important figures of Mocdan before the banquet. He had a preliminary understanding of the current affairs in the city and listed a few for Allen. The tasks that must be completed in the near future, and the general planning and development direction of the city in the future.
After reading it roughly, Allen sighed: "Mr. Grith is really knowledgeable, otherwise how could he sort out these matters in less than a day."
Griss smiled and said: "Master Allen is absurd. If it were before, I would not have been able to get these things if I had the intention. But during the time when Master Alice was sleeping, I learned something when I was idle. Pass the time and learn to learn more."
"Then I have to trouble you to take care of this city for me."
Griss shook his head and said, "Master Allen, haven't you thought about cultivating your own talents? Honestly, there is nothing wrong with me taking care of this city for you, but what about the next one? Lord Lun, your territory will only increase. I am an old thing, I am afraid that my energy is limited."
Allen smiled bitterly: "I think, but I don't have the time and energy to cultivate management candidates. It would be nice if that guy was there before."
He thinks of Edward. With Edward, he doesn't need to worry about the internal affairs of these territories. Now he misses the Maritan star who is far away from the heaven star, and he doesn't know how well he and everyone are now? Allen patted his head and took back the spirit of not knowing how far he was flying. Griiss looked at him and coughed dryly: "Actually, in terms of management talents. It's hard to say far away, but if you're near, you have someone to choose right now."
"Who?"
"Melani."
"Melani?" Allen hadn't heard of the name, and looked confused.
Gliese explained: "Melani was once the chief consul of Gulant. It can be said that he is a close associate of Gulant. However, the two fell out a few years ago because of some things, and Melanie even more He was thrown into prison by Gulant, and he still hasn’t seen the sun. This man is mediocre, but he does have a hand in management. Mokdan has contributed to him today. If Lord Allen can let him do it. If you use it, I believe this person can do better than me."
"I think about it." Allen said.
After Grith left, Allen called the butler. The butler has served Gurant for many years, and he knows a lot about the former city lord. When Allen asked about Melanie, the butler said in detail. Melanie, a man who can stand out from the Baers who admire force, has his own extraordinary features. When Gulant was appointed by the empire to Mokdan as the lord of the city, the city was far less prosperous than it is today, and it can even be said to be depressed.
Although as the southern gateway of the empire, Moying Nation has a certain resource tilt in Mokdan, but these resources are mostly used for army and city defense. After all, this is the real meaning of Mokdan's existence. After Gurant came to this city, Melanie made a number of long-term plans for the city, including mining contacts with the great wasteland, the cultivation of local commercial banks in Mokdan, and the construction of mining-related workshops. Wait. At first, Gurant didn't necessarily really value Melanie. He closed his eyes to the plan he made. He neither fully supported nor denied it all. He only allocated part of Melanie's funds and ignored it. Do not ask.
Unexpectedly, a few years later, Melanie will really bring some results. It was only then that Gurant changed his original intention and strongly supported Melanie, which laid the foundation for the prosperity of Mokdan today. It is no exaggeration to say that Melanie can be seen in every corner of the city, and he has indeed paid a lot for this city. However, just a few years ago, the suspicious Gurant began to suspect that Melanie was in his pocket. So from suspicion to suspicion, and then to rupture, in just one year, Gurant's trust in this cronies has disappeared.
Next, Melanie was thrown into the prison. If it weren’t for Melanie’s deep relationship with Mokdan’s chambers of commerce, Gurant would have to go to prison every once in a while to "consult". He, this man called Gurant to kill. Now that Gurant is dead, if Grice hadn't mentioned it to Allen, the man named Melanie would mostly be sitting in his cell.
Alan decided to go to the prison to meet this man named Melanie tomorrow, but he thought of another question, how did Grice know this man? It hasn't been a day since this old man came to Mokdan. Naturally, it is impossible to know so many things. The only explanation is that the legacy has been paying attention to the empire, especially this southern gateway.
The next day, Allen came to Morcdan’s prison in a road truck. Mokdan’s prison is surprisingly small, poorly equipped, and scarcely guarded. Allen doubts that such a prison can hold a real recidivist? But as soon as I thought about it, Mokdan was not a front line of war, and naturally there were no prisoners of war. As for ordinary criminals, if it is a minor offense, there is no need to catch it; if it is a major offense, then kill. After much deliberation, this prison was probably built for Melanie.
Allen got the lesser half.
When the prison superintendent saw Ellen, he barely leaped to the ground and kissed his feet, grinning at his big mouth, and asked with a grin, "What brought the lord here."
Allen said directly: "I want to see Melanie."
"Yes, yes, no one is good to see here except for Melanie." The warden smiled, and personally led Allen to the prison.
In the deepest cell of the prison, Alan saw Melanie through a screen on the outer wall of the cell. This former consul, now a prisoner, does not look much depressed, and his clothes are considered clean. It seems that although Gurant threw him into the prison, he didn't abuse him much. Of course, this is probably because Melanie still has the value to use, and Gurant will do this.
When the warden opened the gate, Melanie looked up. When he glanced over Alan, he looked a little dazed. The other person was in prison and probably didn't know what was happening outside. The warden said to him: "Mr. Melanie, Lord Allen came to see you. Oh, yes. Now Mokdan is already Lord Allen's territory."
"Territory?" Melanie whispered: "So, you are not an imperial general?"
Alan nodded and made a gesture. The warden retired happily and closed the door, so Alan and Melanie were the only two in the room. Allen briefly introduced his identity, and then said: "Mr. Melanie, I want to release you. In exchange, you have to manage Mocdan for me. I don't know what you want?"
Melani didn't have any expression on his face, but calmly asked, "What if I refuse?"
