401 Slowly build up the fundamentals

The return of Andonara also represents the complete stabilization of the political situation in Delbon.

The Magic Tower is indeed the largest force in Del Bon City.

But there are always some people who want to make small moves, such as the people of the City Lord's Mansion.

Because the magic tower has too few people, Roland often runs around, and Vincent only focuses on the big things and the big picture, after all, he also has to study and learn magic, and it is impossible to do everything himself.

So in places where Vincent doesn't pay much attention to getting it, it's easy to have some loopholes.

Aristocrats and merchants were very good at catching loopholes and making small moves.

And Andonara's return not only represents that the Magic Tower has once again strengthened its own strength, but also that Andonara, as the queen, can still understand some basic political situations, otherwise she would not be disappointed in the royal family and turned to Roland.

Besides, Andonara also has Christina by her side, a maid, although Christina is useless during the day, but at night, some of the more tedious paperwork can be handed over to her to deal with.

The Magic Tower is willing to shelter her, not for her to be a vase and just eat.

After returning to the manor for two days of rest, Roland took Andonara to the docks to visit Hawk and Link.

At this time, after more than ten days of personnel expansion and reorganization, Matou is already thriving again.

After all, Hawk and Link built the docks from scratch, and treated ordinary dock workers very well, and the whole city of Delbon saw it, and they came back and were willing to follow them again.

It is still the top floor of the tallest building in the pier, and the view here is open, just enough to see the scenery of the entire pier.

Hawke set a table here and feasted Roland and Andonara.

He made a hot pot out, and now it's cold, and it's just right to eat hot pot.

Link didn't come, and although the dock has been rebuilt, there are still a lot of things to take care of.

Hawke sandwiched a piece of tripe for himself and pointed to the river that had already formed a thin layer of ice: "The workers all say that this year is a little colder than in previous years, and the river has not frozen in the past, but now it is only early winter, so I guess the poor people in the city are a little sad this time." ”

Roland swallowed the words in his mouth, "You mean, let me find a way to help those poor people?" ”

"Yes." Hawke nodded without hesitation: "Now in Delbon City, only you have this ability." ”

Roland's eyes looked up, and sure enough...... On both sides of the river, which was originally flowing, there was already a layer of white thin ice, only in the middle, because the water was still relatively turbulent, and there was no freezing, forming a flow path of ice and water.

He thought about it for a moment and remembered that the first winter they had entered the game, the Delbon River had indeed not frozen.

"I'll do my best." Roland thought for a moment and responded to the matter, and then he said: "In addition, I came this time to talk to you about the Sealing Land, I want to form a team to see, do you want to be with Link?" ”

Hawke thought for a moment and shook his head: "I won't go, the matter of the dock alone is troublesome enough, at least I have to wait for the matter of the dock to be completely stable, and then I am qualified to say anything else." ”

"Then introduce a reliable pastor to our team." Roland thought for a moment and said, "It's reliable." ”

Although Roland himself can heal minor injuries and magic, and will also have some buffs, it is not comparable to the priest's professional healing.

Hearing Roland reiterate the 'reliable' principal, Hawke couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He understood that during this time, the Silver Wing Guild's several riots had indeed made Roland have a great prejudice against their guild, Hawke smiled bitterly and continued: "Don't worry, this time is absolutely reliable, but she is in another city, and it may take about ten days or so to come over." ”

"Okay, we'll wait for him." Roland nodded: "Just use these ten days to think about how to settle those poor people who may freeze to death." ”

After that, Roland casually ate some hot pot and left the docks.

He didn't go back to the Magic Tower, but took Andonara to the City Lord's Mansion.

Stepping on the frost and snow on the grass, Roland walked to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion and stretched out his hand to push it open.

Although two guards stood guard, none of them dared to stop him.

The black wooden door of the students opened, and a wave of heat rushed out from inside, which was in stark contrast to the cold temperature outside.

At a glance, you can see a red flame burning in the fireplace, and a maid is specially adding wood to the fireplace.

And at the small dining table in the living room, the lady and daughter of the city lord were drinking afternoon tea, they were dressed very lightly, after all, there was a fireplace, and the living room was very warm.

Roland found that every time he came, the two mothers and daughters seemed to be drinking afternoon tea.

It's either on the balcony, it's in the garden, and now it's in front of the fireplace.

It's laid-back.

Seeing Roland, the two were not as scared as before, they stood up and warmly invited Roland and Andonara to drink and eat together.

Andonara agreed, firstly, she really liked the feeling of women gathering around for afternoon tea, and secondly, she felt that Roland had come to talk about business, and there was no need for her to go with her.

Roland knocked on the study on the third floor, walked in, sat down under the host's extremely unfriendly gaze, and asked directly: "Usually in winter, what measures do you have to prevent the poor ordinary people from freezing to death and starving to death?" ”

"There's no need." Little John said coldly: "Those untouchables who don't work hard, and can't survive even a winter, die when they die, and we are responsible for collecting their bodies, which is already very merciful." ”

"If you don't protect the common people, how can the population go up." Roland sighed.

"How is that possible?" Little John laughed disdainfully: "More than two hundred years ago, when our John's family first became the lord of the city here, the population was less than 400,000, but now the population of the entire city, plus the nearby scattered towns and villages, has exceeded one million. ”

"What a resilient life." Roland was somewhat impressed.

"Untouchables are weeds, and if you don't eradicate them, they will grow more and more."

Roland looked at Little John and said, "It seems that our philosophies are still very different. By the way, I'm going to borrow your household registration officer for a while, and you ask him to cooperate with me. ”

"Do you still need my consent to do something?" Little John's words are full of yin and yang.

Roland didn't care: "It's just to give you a voice, and I also want to tell those people or forces who secretly support you, and then our magic tower has a big move, it's best not to jump out at this time, I will be very difficult to talk at that time." ”

Little John said without a smile: "How dare I! I'm scared to death. ”

"Live well, don't think too much."

Roland left the study with such a sentence.

Then he went downstairs and took Andona Layan with him.

Little John is incompetent and furious upstairs, throwing things around, and this winter, the prestige of the Magic Tower will be further enhanced, and his chances of counterattacking are getting slimmer and slimmer.

The city lord's wife and daughter were thinking about the next tea party, or they could invite the queen to come over and enjoy it together, and the three of them had a very happy chat just now.
