Release that Witch Chapter 1296: Sky Visitor
"Father ... do we really need to do this?"
On a vacant lot outside Shining Light City, Horne.Quinn looked at the busy workers from afar, and asked slightly dissatisfied.
In front of them is a rectangular flat square with a length of about one kilometer in the vertical direction and only about half in the horizontal direction. Since the Greycastle's engineering team entered the Dawn, the new length measurement method has also spread among noble.
It is different from the squares made of beautiful masonry in Kingdom Capital. Its surface is completely covered with cement and looks gray, neither colorful nor distinctive. If there is an advantage, I am afraid that it is only convenient to repair. It only took less than a week from leveling the land to building.
But even so, the workers participating in the construction are all from the team cultivated by Quinn Family, which shows the importance.
"Oh?" Hofford Quinn, the current Lord of Dawn, gave him an interesting look, "What do you mean?"
"There are too many instructions for Your Majesty Roland," Horne said with a finger. "It is also a bridge and road repair. It is also a large project that is dozens of miles away. You have brought together the long workers in the family. Do this, what to do in the territory? There are still several places in the castle to be repaired that have not yet started. "
Of course, his dissatisfaction is not these two points.
My father's request for King of Greycastle is too important.
It can even be described as harming others.
For example, cement, a alchemy product that has a wide range of prospects at first glance, will certainly bring huge profits if it is monopolized in the hands of the family.
However, because of the sentence "Please be sure to expand its production as soon as possible" in the letter of Your Majesty Roland, my father called the big noble into the palace and announced the formula in public. Combining the strength of the major chambers of commerce under noble, several cement plants have indeed been established in a short period of time, but Quinn Family's gains have undoubtedly been reduced.
When it's their turn to build a road, situation turns the other way.
Those big noble pushed one by three, and his father simply came by himself.
From the recruitment of personnel to the completion of construction with the Greycastle Engineering Department, all are undertaken by Quinn Family. This is by no means a small amount of cost. Although the annexation of the family of the Moore royal family has greatly increased the strength of the family, it can be spent as quickly as water. Looking at the number of coins in the vault day by day, Horne said that it was impossible that he was not distressed.
The point is that road construction is not the same as business investment. gold royal paid for doing business may return more wealth, but what can the road connecting Moby River to Cage Mountain earn back? It is not even within the territory controlled by Quinn Family! Even if you can promote business development in disguise, the cheap ones are only those feudal lords at the border.
From the perspective of the current situation, the Your Majesty Roland wants to build more than just these two things. The inexplicable flat land in front of it is proof. So profligate, the family will sooner or later face the dilemma of making ends meet. In fact, he has heard a lot of criticisms from internal branches of the family.
What makes Horne uneasy is his father's attitude towards Greycastle people.
Not only did each project be personally asked, but officials of the Ministry of Engineering were often called into the palace and asked for their requirements. If the other party is noble, the problem is that Horne has made it clear. These expatriate "officials" are all civilians and have no prominent family history. His father invited the civilians to talk to him at the same table as the king of a country, which made him difficult to accept.
And today, as soon as I heard that someone in Greycastle is coming to Shining Light City, my father took the team early to wait outside the city. This is incredible. As a ruler, it is enough respect to meet in the castle. Did the royal family do this?
Horne suspects that his adoptive father is atonement for Andrea. After all, all these changes began after Hofford said goodbye to her daughter.
"What can I do?" Hofford shrugged. "Others don't want to contribute. I can't just let them come? You have already seen the power of Greycastle's. You don't think there is support from the Wimbledon family. I can sit still. Seat? "
"No, father ... I'm not asking you to fight against Greycastle," Horne waved hands again and again, "Just you explain two sentences, let the people do it, Roland Wimbledon can't pick up any problems. And the need Funds can also be slowly negotiated with the local feudal lord. The transaction is a compromise. The more anxious businessmen are more likely to lose, this is the truth you once taught me. "
"Unfortunately War of Divine Will is not a market transaction."
"That's true, but ..." Horne bit his lip, and finally said with courage, "But now, some people don't think it's like Lord of Dawn, but Roland Wimbledon Your Majesty's courtier!"
He thought it would anger his father, but the latter just stared at him for a while, then laughed lightly, "I ask you why there is a Four Great Kingdoms statement in this continent, instead of Five or three? "
"Uh ..." Horne was caught off guard by the sudden change of topic, "because ... the four are the strongest families?"
"It is more accurate to say that they are in their respective territories." Hofford replied, "The strength of the family will weaken as the distance increases. The so-called border is the critical point at which the forces on both sides reach equilibrium. But now, This critical point no longer exists. As long as Roland Wimbledon is willing, he can fully collect the territory of Four Great Kingdoms. In this case, what's wrong with my vassal? "
Horne retorted subconsciously, "Father! Even if the Greycastle's army can fight again, he will not be able to control such a large area! Are you exaggerating his ability too much ..."
"You haven't realized the change of Greycastle's, child." Hofford released a long breath, "Early Roland may not have existed, but now the distance can no longer be an obstacle to his rule. Of course, you have not thoroughly understood everything he has done. Imagine what he did. "
"How did you know ..."
Hofford smiled, "Andrea has returned my letter."
This made Horne's heart sink.
While he was about to persuade his father again, an exclamation came from afar.
Then a dull buzz.
Horne looked around and couldn't help but twitch a little. I saw a neat series of dark shadows appearing in the sky, they lined up in a horizontal line, and were flying along the skyline towards Shining Light City.
Is that ... a migrating bird?
But after a while, this idea was rejected, and the volume of black spots soon grew to a level far beyond that of any bird in the world, and it is still expanding.
Horne gradually widened his eyes, it turned out to be something artificial!
The workers who witnessed this scene couldn't help lowering their tools and yelling.
Many caravans passing by also stopped and looked up at the sky.
"It's incredible ... it really made him do it." Hofford raised his mouth, "The person I want to pick up ... is here."
The Horne was stunned when I heard this sentence. Are these squarely shaped birds made of Greycastle artificial vehicles?
How is this possible! ?
