Chapter 63: Final Planning and the Magic Tower
The increasingly frowning brow seemed to be dissatisfied with Lance's draft plan, which, in his professional eyes, the lord who knew everything was indeed an amateur in this regard.
This is also the best moment for him to shine.
"Your plan is made according to the imperial capital, although it seems to be regular, but if I don't come, this is actually ............"
Seeing Lance's calm appearance, it was hard to guess what mood it was, "Ahem, please forgive me for speaking more directly." β
"I'm not good at management in the first place, and you don't have to care if I'm angry, just say what you think. "Acknowledging your own shortcomings is better for a team's communication, especially if you're just starting out.
Al was a little surprised, most of the lords generally came across as arrogant, which meant that they had a hard time accepting other people's opinions, which was a rare kind of open-mindedness, "Actually, a little too idealistic." β
"Tell me your reasoning. β
"The reason why the imperial capital is divided is not only easy to manage, but also the distribution of the roots of the tree of life, each area is located on the roots of the tree deep in the ground, with the help of a part of the natural energy that is gathered, but for the energy supply, I can get molten technology. β
"The most important thing is that this kind of decentralized and centralized layout is not conducive to organizing defense, of course, if you can make a bunch of floating magic towers, you don't have to think about that, that's what I said, it's too ideal. β
"As a frontier territory, in addition to being easy to manage and convenient for energy supply, it also has to face the possibility of war breaking out at any time. β
Now is a relatively peaceful time, once the national war starts, then anywhere may be a battlefield.
El is measured by the standards of a city at war.
"And what's your plan?"
Grab a pen and draw a series of concentric circles on the map, with the town of Lil as the center and the village of Sit as the center.
"I've already looked at the terrain here, and we're in the inner part of the village of Sit, with mountains on the left and right, and vast uninhabited forests behind it, which can be used as the main base, which is the inner city. β
"And the outer part of Lier, if a trade route is opened, it will be a good transit point in the surrounding area, and a front line of war, which can be built as a peripheral area, that is, the outer city. β
"The inner and outer cities are divided into hollow rings, and a line of defense can be established in each district, which is more conducive to defense under the layers of defense. β
"And in the middle of the wasteland, I've seen, the land is more nutritious than the lower middle and upper, and there is a small river, which is suitable for growing crops. β
The inner city plus the outer city can be imagined as a safety factor, and the circular partition retains the convenience of easy management, and at the same time is an integral part of the defense.
Compared with the previous simple partition, this is indeed more conducive to facing possible disasters in the future.
"Bang bang. "The applause is the best proof of this plan.
The conversation didn't go any further, Lance's deep gaze seemed to want to see through all of Al's thoughts, "I want to know why you're helping me, and who you are. β
A stranger who suddenly falls from the sky chooses to help you, and that can only happen in a beautiful story written by a troubadour.
Finally, when it came to the most critical point, Al performed a noble etiquette, "My name is Al, and I am from the Ayton family, the three major families of the imperial capital. β
"So, you were sent by the Ayton family to invest in me?"
"No, I'm just speaking for myself, and I hope that in the future, when you become stronger, you can return to the Ayton family with me. β
"Why?"
"I want to prove to those old guys, to the Imperial Capital, that I'm never worse than anyone else!"
A sincere gaze can indeed be the beginning of a trust, but in Lance's opinion, this interest is not enough to make him give all his trust, and he can see that this seems to be the only thing that Al can hold on to now, if it is done...............
"The Ayton family, I remember that it is one of the richest families in the imperial capital, and the legendary merchant Lord Ayton seems to be much older, right?"
"Father, he's not as energetic as he used to be. Speaking of this father, Al's face looked better.
"What do you think if I say that I will help you get the position of patriarch in the future?"
Astonished thought came to his face, this almost crazy thought never came to Al, "Lord Baron, do you know what you're talking about?"
Although the Ayton family is a family that has only risen in the last hundred years, its background is no worse than that of several other old families, coupled with the prejudice of those stubborn old guys against him, if he wants to get the position of patriarch, he will undoubtedly go against the entire family. This is not something that a little baron can do!
"Even a small spark can grow into a fire that burns down an entire grassland. β
"And, if you want proof, that's the best proof, isn't it?"
But unfortunately, Lance still saw it in his eyes, and he still didn't believe it.
A dazzling light emanated, and the consternation in his heart became more and more intense, on this, Al felt a magic power that he had never seen before, this is the ultimate light attribute!
Not only is this a symbol of great potential, but it also makes that idea a little less crazy.
Moreover, as a teenager, Lance can get to this point, perhaps, there is a slight possibility!
"If you believe me, I'll do it for you. β
Lance held out his hand, and it was a deal, a deal that tied him to the ship.
With a long sigh of relief, Al had already made up his mind and said, "The cake that the lord drew for me is too big. β
"It's really hard to believe. β
He shook Lance's hand, "However, I choose to trust you, and ask Lance-sama to remember your words." The firm gaze did not hesitate.
If you get on this ship, there is no way back, and if you can't successfully reach the other side, then there is only one result.
What made Al find it most incredible was that Lance's attitude had changed too quickly, if it was a longsword that was voluntarily bound by its scabbard, then now that this longsword was finally about to show its sharpest side, what happened in between.
"I will never break my word, this day, it won't be long. β
Once the relationship of interest is confirmed, it is the time to give trust.
"Then, I'll leave all the territorial planning to you. β
"Good. Now that he has accepted this piece of cake, Al has to show his real strength, "By the way, is your castle going to be located in the inner city or the outer city?"
"Forget the castle and build the magic tower. β
"Uh.................. Lord, do you know what the concept of building a magic tower is?" Al felt that this lord could no longer be described as an amateur in this regard, and should be said to be naΓ―ve.
"Tell me about it. β
"The Magic Tower requires not only huge amounts of materials, but also a professional team to build a magic array, and most importantly, a magic pool, which is the most secret thing in every empire. β
"Do you have all of these?"
Lance's thoughtful appearance had already told El the answer, this lord didn't know the price of building a magic tower, after all, no matter what he said, he was only a fifteen-year-old boy, and it was unbelievable that he could have such a mature mentality now.
But it didn't seem to be what he thought at all.
"You're right, the Mana Pool is a problem, and if you get the molten technology, I might be able to renovate it, which should be able to provide for the basic needs of a magic tower. β
Strange words, how could this lord become so naΓ―ve at this time? It seems that it is necessary to make it clearer.
"Lord Lance, how much money do you have to run around?"
"About 80,000 Na dollars. β
"Eighty thousand nano dollars can't even afford a few bricks of the magic tower, let alone hire a professional team to build it, please be sober, okay?"
The doubts in his eyes were relieved, and he didn't seem to make it clear to Al, "Ahem, I mean, I built this magic tower myself." β
"Build it yourself!?"
The incredulous voice was accompanied by an even more incredulous look, "Lord Lord, you're not kidding, are you!"
"Where did you get the materials?"
Lance threw out a ring, which Nosa had given him when he knew what he was thinking.
After reading the dense collection of precious materials inside, a terrifying thought popped up in Al's mind, "Could it be that you really know how to build a magic tower?"
"Yes. β
"Oh my God, why don't you go to the Imperial Academy to be the chief and come to a place like this to be a little lord............"
"Do you think I still need to go there?"
That's right, the magic tower will be built, and the Imperial Academy can't teach this lord anything.
Al was really starting to believe in that crazy idea.
This is definitely a magical lord!
What the future will be like, he has begun to look forward to it.
