Act 6 Letterhead (Second Update, Double Monthly Pass)

"When I say expansion, the goal is the wilderness. With the help of the whole country, open up new frontiers to the wilderness. ”

Brando replied word for word, and then he stopped what he was doing, looked up, and looked at Andrew, who was looking at him with a complicated expression. The druid elder took a light breath, but he was a little unconvinced:

"But the law of nature is in the cycle, and as a lord of a place, it is natural to make things easier. But just like a force, where there is oppression, there is resistance, and it is certainly a good thing for the whole orderly world to push this qiē with your own strength, but others may not agree with it. The other party paused and replied in a different way: "It is a dangerous and difficult thing to open up the borders of civilization, especially now, my lord, would you risk being opposed by the majority to carry out this qiē?" ”

"Actually, it's not that difficult, interests always drive people to act." Brando replied. He could not help thinking to himself that he was merely repeating the path of Prince Enrique, just as gold and silver drove the Portuguese and Spaniards to sea. What's more, how much value there is in the wilderness, except for the temple, is probably only known to him. It's just that the temple weighs the ratio between the input and the return, and he has ready-made examples.

"The rewards of the wilderness will naturally be the driving force for Eruin to move forward. And people are always forgetful, and when they have gold at hand, only a few will see the risks that come with it," replied the young lord, "not to mention, when the lives of the majority of the people improve, they will no longer want to go back to the past." ”

"You're so sure that your investment will pay off, and it's not uncommon to make ends meet." Andrew retorted: "Once there is a setback at the beginning of the plan, it is devastating to your whole idea. ”

Brando laughed in his heart, the other party was already on his side to think, which showed that he had moved them. After all, this matter is innate to the temptation of the druid, and it is almost impossible to resist. "That's why I need you, plus my experience," he replied, "with a lot of planning and a bit of luck, everything is a risk." You see that individual pioneering efforts often fail because they lack a strong support behind them, which is the support of the realm and the lord, or even the kingdom as a whole. ”

Brando thought to himself, in fact, some of the great lords actually occasionally spontaneously pioneered, but in the situation of many enemies, no one dared to invest too much in the unknown territory. As a result, this investment is often a one-time and gone forever, and over time, no one is interested in the wilderness except for the real gambler.

But it's also because most people don't have a clear understanding of savagery, but he has the advantage of knowing that his investment will pay off. That's the advantage of experience.

Andrew was silent for a long time, and finally he nodded, "Okay, lord, you convinced me. If you can really do this, what do you need us to do? ”

"It's not that I need you to do anything," replied Brando, "but that you have to protect your fruit, and you will understand." It's not just me who has ambition in this world, but the greed of other lords, you haven't really seen it. ”

Elder Druid nodded, "I see," he replied, "I have to say, sir, you are the best lobbyist I have ever met." ”

Brando smiled. He picked up the two letters from the table: "There is one last thing I want to ask you. ”

"You say." Andrew took a breath, and Brando's previous words even made him a little excited. If it can really be done, it can be said that the change of the entire order world will be earth-shaking. If Merciful Eck is the greatest pioneer since the Year of Chaos, then this young man will probably dominate the history of the next era.

If he can succeed.

"Send me two letters."

"Letter? For whom? Elder Druid asked.

"Through the forest, you can get to the port of Griss to the east of here, where some of my men are at the moment." Brando replied, "You have sent this letter to a man named the Bronze Dragon, Leto, whose name is the Bronze Dragon, and you must not be mistaken. ”

Andrew took the letter, looked at it, and asked, "Anything else?" ”

Brando shook his head: "There is nothing else, and the rest is only for time to prove." I have other things to do, so I won't send them to you, but I wish you all success—"

Andrew nodded, "Then take your leave." He took the two of them and bowed deeply to the young lord, then opened the door and went out. Flo on the side raised his head at this time, watched Andrew and the three leave, turned around and asked, "Lord Lord, will you also give them the letter?" Although this wild elf girl has always known that Brando is meticulous, she is inevitably uneasy about strangers.

Because she didn't understand why Brando trusted three people who had never met so much, she not only entrusted Funia to the other party, but also handed over the matter of life and death to the other party. Even if the other party is a druid, what if this identity is impersonated?

However, Brando is naturally difficult to explain to her, and his knowledge of the druid in Amber Sword can only be explained by the knowledge of wizards. But on the other hand, he can't say that he actually knows these guys, right? Where did you meet? That was more than a decade later, and after the Sacred Stone Conference, he had rushed through the prestige of the Deadwood Council for a long time for the quest for the ruins of Valhalla. At that time, Grudin's ashes had long since passed, and it was the most powerful era after the Eruin Revival, and now I am afraid that no one but a madman would believe it.

He thought for a moment and replied, "The bronze dragon Leto has actually been in contact with Freya all the time, and it is not troublesome to send a letter to Princess Griffiin. ”

The elven girl glared at him. "You know that's not what I'm talking about," she said angrily, "Lord Lord." ”

Brando.

"Of course I know what you say, Miss Elf," he replied, "but admit that I know the druids better than you do. So trust me, they are telling the truth, and the time of the 'prophecy in the forest' should have come long ago. The druid's respect for Nya is far beyond your imagination, and helping me deliver a letter is just an amateur activity, and I'm sure Andrew will take it as a test. What I said earlier was a vision for them that they had never imagined," Brando thought for a moment, adding, "If you can't put yourself in their shoes, it's hard to understand how seriously they value it." ”

"But."

"No," Brando simply made up an excuse, "Besides, that's a consideration in itself, and I have a backup." ”

"Alternate means?" Flo looked at her suspiciously, wondering how she didn't know. You must know that the two letters that Andrew took just now were copied by Antitina, so she didn't believe that Brando would prepare more, and after getting along for so long, she gradually began to understand this young man.

"Of course," Brando couldn't help but look at Miss Elf on the side, but Flo was as expressionless as ever. He paused for a moment, and suddenly thought of an idea, so he asked, "How are the materials counted?" ”

Flo looked down at him, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes. I thought that I would have to be so scoundrel when talking to a girl, not to mention that I was still his summoned creature. However, she still opened the notebook in her hand and replied bluntly: "We have counted the barn, and the grain stored is almost 50,000 bushels, enough to support the consumption of the whole city for three to four months. However, the material warehouses are basically empty, and the stones, pig iron, and timber are far less than recorded, and the specific direction of the outflow is not available—"

Deficits are normal, and judging by Grudin's abilities, he is thankful that he didn't turn the fir barony into a black forest. But it was the druids in the forest who were really thankful, even though the former didn't necessarily know that there was such a group of people in the forest.

Brando shook his head, "The shortage of stone and wood must be solved, Fir City is not safe now, and the walls damaged in the battle the day before yesterday must be repaired and strengthened immediately. He couldn't help but rub his forehead when he thought of this, in the previous 'lord mode' in the game, the materials were all quantified, and this convenient approach to the player caused him a huge problem at this moment. For example, in the game, reinforcing a section of the wall requires 2 units of stone and wood.

However, how much two units of stone and wood should be in reality, Brando is completely unclear. As for consulting Antitina and others, unfortunately, although Antitina is knowledgeable, she is not necessarily omniscient, especially since this kind of thing may have to be consulted by professional masonry or management officials.

But the crux of the matter is that whether it is masonry or officials, there is a shortage of fir city now. And the captains of the garrison who were captured were unwilling to do things for her, and most of them were recruited by Gruddin from the mercenaries, and they couldn't answer these professional questions at all. In fact, they don't know as much as the sparrows, though they are no better than Antitina.

The thought of this issue gave Brando a headache.

He shook his head and said, "All in all, how much stock do we have, enough to repair the city walls?" ”

Flo glanced at him and thought to himself, "Your Excellency, you didn't bring yourself in by slashing half of the southern gate with a sword to show off. However, she replied with a blank face: "My lord, in fact, to put it simply, it is basically the same as nothing-"

"What?"
