The Manyu army was short of stones, and even with the location of the Jacob River, it was a very luxurious thing to transport bricks and stones for thousands of miles.

The burnt earth of the Eternal Night Army is bricks, which is the most suitable place here.

The sand is ready-made, and the black coal and stone are even more or less, and you can open a kiln to fire any piece of land.

Now the Eternal Night Commander is negotiating with Angie Bena for further cooperation, such as glass and ceramic firing, which are large coal-eating industries, to be transferred to a part of her territory, and further reduce production costs by reducing the consumption of black coal mine transportation.

At present, it is only an intention, and the premise of this is that Angie Bena's absolute control over her territory, Sean is not like the technology he has worked so hard to research, which was leaked out in less than two days.

However, this is definitely a general trend in the future, because there is a limit to the transportation capacity of the Jacob River, especially the section of the river located in the Eternal Night Army, which is quite narrow in some places.

At that time, it will be necessary to carry out the diversion of goods.

Of course, this is still a relatively distant thing, and according to the current development rate of the Eternal Night 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 capital.

With a large amount of capital injection, even if it is a poor country, it can be built into a fairyland.

If there is no capital, even if it guards a fertile soil, it will not be able to develop on its own.

Anjibena City, which has good location, funds, and sufficient technical support, is difficult to think of.

There is still no comparison with the royal capital Valestabi, but compared to the real capital of the Manyu army, Solo City, it is only surpassed.

Especially in recent years, the city of Solo has been severely damaged.

First, a slave gladiator uprising brought a terrible scourge to the place, and then changed hands several times.

When the Jacob River reflowed, the first wave of the flood crest raged here again.

In recent years, Cardinal St. George and the new Archduke Patlem have used this place as a wrestling field.

All kinds of strange things emerge one after another, not to mention the dazzled eyes of ordinary lords, even those lords and nobles are a little incompetent.

The main thing is that the two main industries here, the slave gladiators and the slave trade, have fallen, and many people have lost their means of subsistence.

Farming alone cannot sustain the consumption of a huge city, and there are many escapees.

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

The Manyu Army, once the largest city, is in decline.

"Go in and sit down?" Angie Bena extended an invitation to Sean.

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

"Can you reveal what kind of New Year's gift you prepared for Her Royal Highness Princess Regent this time, and even let you, the lord, go out in person?" asked Angie Bena with impatience of curiosity.

"It won't take long for you to know, and I'm sure it's more interesting to listen to the grapevine. Sean smiled and said.

"So, this time it's a big deal again?" Sean kept it secret, the more Angie Bena itched.

Every time this guy meets, he can bring unexpected surprises.

In particular, the gift to Princess Regent Sophia was never carried out in secret.

Instead, they are above board, beating gongs and drums, lest others do not know.

He did so the first time he went to Valesta.

Last year's New Year's was the same, and although the gifts were not as generous as the first time, they still made the envious eyes of the ladies and ladies of Valesta turn into rabbits.

The last New Year's gift was based on the theme of silk costumes, and a variety of silk costumes were given to several carriages, enough for the princess regent to attend all kinds of dinners throughout the year, and there were no duplicates.

As for advertising the silk clothing of the Eternal Night Army, it is only incidental.

It was also that time that the Eternal Night Army was truly opened to the luxury market in Valesta.

Now Valesta is still scolding Sean for being an upstart behind his back, disdainful of his appearance, but there are many people who secretly wish to be an upstart like the Eternal Night Army, or have such an upstart give them gifts.

Angel Bena, an alternative among the traditional aristocracy, rarely agrees with Sean's concept of gift-giving.

Isn't this kind of thing about giving gifts just a matter of face, and you need to do it for the world to see?

Sean just smiled and didn't say anything, not taking her to see the gift for Princess Regent Sophia this time.

Secrecy is only one thing, on the other hand, this guy has always been very greedy, and if he knew that he had given Princess Regent Sophia an aerial mount, he would have to follow his ass and beg for one.

Things that dismiss people's face in person, do less if you can.

Although Angel Bena can still get the news afterwards, if she wants to fight to the death, she must be able to catch Sean.

After three or five years, the flight formation of the Eternal Night Army Leader has taken shape, and it is not impossible to give her one.

"Stingy. Angel Bena snorted and returned to her car.

Just like Sean understands her temperament, after so many years of dating, she has somewhat figured out Sean's character.

Don't look at him usually looks harmless to humans and animals, he looks very good at talking, but in fact he is just a kind of disguise in front of him, in his bones, he is a proud and stubborn person, at least the things he insists on, few people can change.

At least Angel Bena can't do anything about him.

"I'll see you later. Sean smiled and waved at Angel Bena and her city and continued on his way.

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

Due to Sean's usual use of black collars, his guards could not keep up with the high and high travel between the Eternal Night Leader and the royal capital Valesta.

The Eternal Night Commander simply stationed a hundred guards as a guard in the royal capital Valesta, waiting to be sent at any time, and Sean's champion knight's personal guard bun has also stayed on the side of the royal capital Valesta.

After all, he is more useful here, firstly, when Sean is in the Eternal Night Army, most of them will be with their own generals, and there is no need to escort them at all, if they are really touched by someone, the generals of the Eternal Night Army Leader and Ralph, the intelligence chief, can collectively take the blame and resign.

Second, Valesta, the royal capital, does not belong to its own territory, and it is a mixed bag, and any moth can be born, no matter how cautious it is.

"My lord, everything is ready to go. A tall knight in hermetically sealed heavy armor reported to Sean in a loud voice.

His helmet was held on his side, and his face was covered with criss-crossing scars, with shallow irregular stitches on them, which made him look like a puppet made of needle and thread.

There is only one person who has this appearance in the Eternal Night Warlord - Sean's Champion Knight Personal Guard Bun.

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

But looking at his current performance, if he still thinks so, he must be a fool.

Baozi's current appearance is somewhat wooden, but his words and deeds and smart and vigilant eyes are definitely not on the same level as a fool.

That is, the intelligence of the bun has now recovered.

Speaking of which, it's not unrelated to Valesta.

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

The royal capital of Valesta is his hometown.

Stepping on the familiar land again, it turned out to be a strong stimulus to his brain that had not improved for a long time, and he gradually recovered some memories, not to mention, his IQ recovered somewhat, although it has not yet reached the level of a normal person, at least it has departed from the original style of acting on instinct.

At the beginning of the gladiatorial arena, Spartak caused most of the injuries to Baozi, and did not seriously damage his brain.

His amnesia and mental retardation were purely brain damage caused by a combination of psychedelic drugs and trauma.

The reason why he was able to recover was that in addition to returning to his hometown to touch the scene, the champion knight's demonic self-recovery ability also contributed to it.

The bun that regained his memory was no longer a bun, but Sir Herbert Selt.

His loyalty to Sean has not changed since he regained his memory.

Buns are no longer buns, but Herbert Selt is no longer the Herbert Selt of the decade.

During his time as a bun, he only lost his memory, not his memory function, and everything he experienced in the past ten years is in his mind.

He regained his ability to think, and he knew very well who was really good for him.

Something simple is the most precious.

After he regained his memory, Sean gave him a choice, and he chose to give up his former jazz status and continue to serve by Sean's side.

"Well done, get ready to go. Sean nodded, got into his carriage, lowered the curtain, remembered something, turned to Herbert and asked, "Still no news?"

Herbert's face twitched involuntarily, making those scars more obvious and terrifying, a trace of irrepressible sadness flashed in his eyes, and he shook his head and said, "Not for the time being." ”

"At this time, if there is no news, it is the best news, they must still be waiting for you somewhere, the Hawkeye Secret Service has already passed on the news, and will help you pay attention. Sean reassured.

"Thank you, Lord. Herbert was moved.

After following Sean for so many years, I know very well that he abides by it, and for his own sake, this is obviously a public weapon for private use.

"Don't give up, trust that you will have a family reunion day. Sean sighed and said, "This is my mistake, ten years ago, I should have thought of sending someone to find your family, so that your family would not have to suffer from displacement." ”

"Lord Lord, you don't need to blame yourself, this has nothing to do with you, if you want to complain, you should also blame yourself, if it wasn't for ten years ago, I accompanied Swendi to act willfully, why did I end up today. Herbert shook his head and said, "I won't give up, as long as I live for a day, I'll look for a day." ”

"As long as you keep looking, there is hope. That's all Sean could answer.

Herbert, recovering his memory, tries to get his family back, but unfortunately, a lot can happen in ten years, especially when the pillars of a family fall, and it is difficult for a woman to live with two children in Valesta, the royal capital.

According to the inquirement, they only lasted two years in Valesta before they went bankrupt, and Herbert's wife left with their two children and returned to their native fiefdom, and since then they have not been heard from at all, and they have not been seen in Herbert's fiefdom estate at all.

As for Herbert's fief, it had long been taken back by the Adolf family and canonized to others.

Like the Eternal Night Commander, there are not many territories with a perfect bereavement system, and the bereavement policy of many territories depends entirely on the personal character of the local lord, if the character is good, they will take care of the families of those knights who died in battle for themselves, and if they have a bad character, they will not care about their life or death.

The Adolf family obviously belongs to the latter, when you still have use value, they can lift you up to the sky, when you lose use value or die, then it is worth nothing.

This is also one of the reasons why the Adolf family did not come to the door after Herbert reopened his identity, after all, what they did ten years ago was unkind, can they still expect Herbert to still swear allegiance to them?

Of course, the power of the Eternal Night Army is also a factor that cannot be ignored.

The Adolf family had just suffered a defeat, and it was the Kingsleys, the defeated generals of the Eternal Night, who led them to conquer the eastern army.

Even if they were given bear-hearted leopard guts, they would not dare to provoke the Eternal Night Commander at this time.

If Sean were to be replaced with a real baron, they would definitely not let go of a ready-made champion knight easily.

The gift-giving team led by Sean has just started, and the knights of the Eternal Night Army have already gone out several times, all of which have reported the good news to the regent Princess Sophilia in advance, telling them bluntly that the Eternal Night Army has led in to offer a pair of griffins.

Sean and their convoy were only halfway away, and the news spread like wings throughout the royal capital Valesta.

"How's it going, lord, I'm better at this than we can beat gongs and drums, right?" said the emaciated woman who was sitting across from Sean in the carriage with a smile.

"Compared with Sophia's trick, the method we used was too outdated, too earthy, and too nouveau riche, no wonder others put an upstart hat on my head. Sean chimed in.

"They believe what they overhear and see more than what others tell them to hear. Sophia staggered her legs elegantly, a touching white greasy flashed under the cheongsam, and the silk on her slender long legs contrasted with the cheongsam, and she would unconsciously become the focus of attention.

Sean is not completely exempt from vulgarity, after all, he is also a man, a man with strong blood, after the relationship with Sophia has taken a step further, his self-control in this regard has obviously dropped several grades, the devil is born from the heart, this kind of thought turns a lot, it is easy to have problems, it seems that he has been too idle recently, as long as he is busy, naturally there are not 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 every day, and the slightest wind and grass will spread throughout Valesta at the fastest speed, I believe that just the word griffin will arouse the interest of countless people, and they will take the initiative to promote us, which is much better than if we went out in person." ”

"I didn't expect Sophia to be not only a good at clothing design, but also good at espionage, and now even psychology has been studied so thoroughly, it seems that you have integrated well in Valesta. Sean looked at the first tailor of his own territory with interest.

There are no ugly women, only lazy women and women who don't know how to dress up.

This sentence is very appropriate for Sophia.

The first time she followed Sean to Valesta, she was still dark and thin, and she was very inconspicuous, and Sean introduced her to Sophia, saying that she was the first tailor in her territory, and the other party looked incredulous.

Now she is bright and moving, not only wearing a cheongsam made for herself, but also wearing Valesta's most popular hairstyle at the moment, and applying light makeup, no worse than those noble ladies.

No, more precisely, better.
