Faced with Stephanie's doubts, Roland explained: "To build a floating city, you need a very secret environment, otherwise it will be easy to be destroyed when you build a floating chassis in the early stage. There is no shortage of people in this world who are particularly jealous. ”

Stephanie thought it was normal for Roland to be worried.

If it's someone he knows he doesn't like, he's building a floating city, and before he becomes a momentum, he'll definitely find a way to destroy it.

Not to mention that there are quite a few people who can't look down on others.

"I see." Stephanie played with the long hair in her ear with her right hand, curled it for a moment, and said, "I announce to the public that I have hired you to be my royal magician, and to be in charge of the security of my realm. In this case, I will ship a large amount of magical materials to you, and it will not arouse the suspicion of outsiders. At the same time, if you are in charge of the security of my territory, you can decide for yourself the layout of the layout of the floating city, and you don't need to ask for my opinion. ”

"Then I'm bothering you." Roland said gratefully. Everyone else has helped him think about it, and he should be a little grateful.

Stephanie stared at Roland for a moment, then smiled, "You're welcome, we're partners now." ”

Roland finished the pastry in a few bites and said, "Then you guys should prepare, and when I come back from the magic tower, I'll set off." ”

He knew that women always had something to carry, and it was not convenient for them to watch from the sidelines.

"Okay." Stephanie nodded.

After drinking the milk again, Roland went to the Magic Tower.

After Roland left, Stephanie's expressionless face suddenly showed a look of joy.

Andonara saw it on the side and asked with a smile, "It's strange, why are you willing to cooperate with Roland." Obviously, last night you were still saying that he was not a gentleman, that he did not have a manly demeanor or something like that. ”

"Floating City, that's Floating City." Stephanie looked at Andonara with a look of surprise: "A mage who can build a floating city is right in front of him, so a fool wouldn't cooperate with him!" ”

Andonara was even more strange: "Do you believe Roland?" Aren't you afraid that he will lie to you? ”

"Multi-person teleportation arrays can be made, and one more floating city is not an accident." Stephanie smiled proudly: "Although I am not very strong in internal affairs, and I don't have a big overall view, I am not stupid enough to understand what the real future material is." I have studied with my father for more than ten years, and I can't learn anything else, and I am very proficient in this aspect of investment. ”

Andonara raised her head smugly: "Far worse than me, you are just a partner, Roland's whole person is mine." ”

"You're the opposite, you're from Roland." Stephanie shook her head.

Andonara shook her body indifferently: "Between husband and wife, how can you be so clear." ”

Stephanie was speechless, and once again she felt like she had been fed a mouthful of sour stuff.

Roland came to the Magic Tower and checked the recent affairs first, Vivien managed everything here very well, and with the help of Christina's bat, everything was on track.

The students of the magic school have studied very hard, and one in five has become magic apprentices, and two have become official mages.

Everything is on track.

Roland chatted with Vivien for a while, and then was about to go back to the manor, when a swarm of bats suddenly flew in from outside and hung upside down on the roof.

More than a dozen pairs of red eyes stared at Roland.

Vivien was used to it, and after she went to close the window to block out the sunlight outside, Christina took on human form.

She looked at Roland quite unpleasantly: "Master, you run outside every day, and you leave all the affairs of the magic tower to our two women, is this appropriate?" ”

"I think you guys like it." Roland said lightly.

Christina was choked up and speechless.

Vivien smiled lightly beside her.

Indeed, as Roland said, both of them actually liked the job.

In this world, in this feudal era, the status of women is relatively low.

And Stephanie is just an outlier who can become a queen, after all, the Kingdom of France has a tradition of queens in power, so the status of women is relatively high.

But only a little higher.

There is no such tradition in Hollevin, and it is very difficult for women here to get ahead.

Being able to take charge of a magic tower and influence half a city like Vivien is already an unimaginably high status for her.

So she cherishes this status, if she works so hard to manage the magic tower and the city, six of them are thinking of helping Roland, and the other four are for herself.

Realize the value of your life.

That's kind of how it feels.

"Vivien, in addition to your work, you'll need to take some time off to practice your magic." Roland said lightly: "Just like I delegated the work to you, you can also delegate some of the work and power to other trusted members of the Magic Tower. In this world, if you want to become a superior, you still need a certain amount of strength after all. The magic tower will get bigger and bigger in the future, and there will be more and more people, and if your strength can't keep up, then you will stop at managing hundreds of people. “

Vivien was stunned for a moment, then she thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I understand." ”

Christins sighed on the side: "I know that such a position is indeed quite good, we couldn't have imagined it before, but ...... You're always gone, and we're always insecure. After all, outside, there are always different thoughts and opinions about women, especially beautiful women. ”

This is indeed a problem.

Because of the customs and habits of Holevin, people outside instinctively despise women, especially women in high positions.

If a man does something 100 points, he can get a 100 point evaluation.

When a woman does something out of 100 points, she can only get a maximum of 80 points, and most of the time it is only 70 points.

Roland thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, when I wait for another year or so, I won't need to run around outside." At that time, no one dared to bully you. ”

A year later, Roland estimated that he would be able to get the floating city out, although it was not big enough, but as long as he stopped above the magic tower, it would be a proper deterrent. Not to mention the local forces in this world, even if the players want to make trouble, they have to think about it. “

"I don't doubt your potential." Kistina shook her head and said, "But there is a very troublesome matter at the moment, which actually needs to be dealt with by you. ”

"What's the matter?"

"It's about the children of gold." Christina said, "There is a merchant guild called Cornucopia, which has been stationed with us, and they were originally responsible for promoting commerce. But now they have monopolized goods in several industries and are starting to drive down prices. Vivien had been wrestling with them, but it didn't work much. Step by step, their business methods are pressed down, not too fast, but effective. ”

Roland was stunned: "Cornucopia Guild, what's going on?" ”

My relationship with the Cornucopia Guild is not bad. More than half a year ago, I also helped their boss make a few pieces of magic equipment.

"Here's how it happened." Vivien walked up and explained the matter.

It turned out that after the Cornucopia Guild settled here, it began to do business with the same commercial methods as the earth.

Soon the three things of fur, meat, and building materials were monopolized.

Now I'm working on the idea of food and magic materials.

What's even more outrageous is that they have begun to contact some local forces that are not very good with the Magic Tower.

He is even already beginning to contact the puppet city lord John Jr.

After hearing this, Roland's brows furrowed.

Then he said, "Vivien, you take me to the local stronghold in the cornucopia, and I'll ask what the situation is." ”

Vivien nodded repeatedly.

More than ten minutes later, Vivien and Roland rode the carriage to the most prosperous East Commercial Street, and stopped in front of the largest gate in the middle.

Roland got out of the carriage and looked up to see a gold-edged sign spread across the gate.

On the signboard, several large characters were written in both Celestial and Hallevine languages: Cornucopia Branch.

Roland stepped forward with Vivien.

There were two guards at the door, and they were a little surprised to see Roland and Vivien.

Even a little timid.

They knew Vivien, and they knew Roland.

Although on the surface, Little John is the city, but who doesn't know that Roland is the real city lord behind the scenes.

Even the city lord's wife and young lady often run to Roland's manor, and it is strange that they are not tired.

Although timid, when he thought of the large salary given by the Cornucopia Guild, one of them still stepped up, bent down and said: "Dear Lord Roland, I am glad that you can come to our Cornucopia Guild, our branch president is receiving guests, can you wait in the waiting room for a while." ”

"Okay."

Although in the eyes of most people in Delbon, Roland is a powerful man, Roland himself does not have this kind of cognition and consciousness.

He just felt that he had more resources at his disposal, and that everyone was equal in terms of personality.

So he was willing to wait.

Seeing that Roland was so talkative, the guard breathed a sigh of relief and invited Roland into the waiting room.

Then he went out.

Vivian sat next to Roland, a little disagreeable, but Roland didn't speak, so she naturally didn't want to express any opinions.

It didn't take long for a player to walk in briskly.

He opened the door of the waiting room, and when he saw Roland, he immediately stretched out his hands happily, shook hands with Roland, and said with a smile: "Big Roland, I finally see you." Your deeds are really amazing, you are my idol. ”

The man was quite enthusiastic and seemed to really admire Roland.

But Roland has also experienced two or three years in society, how could he not see the other party's commercial enthusiasm.

At that moment, he also smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's all nonsense, but your president is quite powerful, in such a short period of time, he has pulled up such a big force." ”

"That is, our boss is also a capable person." The player sat down and said with a smile, "Let me introduce myself, I'm Hu Suo, the vice president of the cornucopia, and the president of the local branch." Mr. Roland, do you have any business to take care of us when you come this time? ”
