Verse 424: Roman Holiday (2)

It is said that it is the new city of Rongma, Marin confirmed that this address is in Tivoli in the east of Rome with the help of Jason, about 26 kilometers east from the location of the palace of the Duchy of Farol, the terrain is a hill in this era, Marin has measured the mound with a technique, and confirmed that there is no hollow and anything else, since the northern steelfist dwarven clan is here, let them dig the dwarven city at the bottom of the mound, and then build a workshop area on the surface, this is the center of the new city, in the north and southeast three areas, three small rings will be expanded, They were the inhabited area, the defensive area, and the wall area - the walls were still useful in this day and age, whether they were spirits, chaos, or something else, as long as they still moved on their feet, the walls were a problem they had to deal with. Moreover, high platforms can be built on the city walls, heavy long-barreled cannons can be placed, a range far greater than that of catapults, and flowering shells under development in the second generation. Although the elves suffered a lot of color blindness and color weakness due to their consanguineous marriage on the island of Eternal Night, Marlin was impressed by their talent for explosives.

They have learned how to use IEDs in a state of self-instruction, and they are skilled in giving Marlin a headache.

At the same time, I also lamented that there are always all kinds of crazy people and neuropaths in this world, challenging the patience of every normal person all the time.

Of course, except for the problem of the elves, Marin is still more at ease with the dwarves, although these guys are short-tempered, as long as they are reasonable, they can communicate much easier to talk.

It's like the Steelfist clan who are adamant about Marin's arrangement, and all the problems don't need to be explained by Marin - until the guys dig the wrong place near the east, Marin has to tell them that they have to leave enough fixed structures, and Marin will have the mages turn those load-bearing structures to stone.

At the top of the eastern hill, Marin plans to build a stargazing tower and a mage tower, the former is his lair in Rongma, and the latter belongs to everyone in his own mage tower system.

At present, the dungeon on the top of the mound and below it is handed over to the dwarves, the east and north are handed over to the local human engineering team to deal with, and the south is put aside - according to the news from Lady Anna, the elves can't stand it anymore, so they are preparing to send some members to leave the island first.

This was still welcome to Marin, after all, the so-called High Elves had lived on that island for generations, and Marin felt that if they continued to be so isolated, they would one day be alienated from the various elven subspecies that lived in the human world.

Of course, Marin didn't mean that there would be diplomatic problems between them, but that Marin felt that if these guys did this again, they were afraid that reproductive isolation would occur.

It was already very difficult for a High Elf and a human hybrid to appear.

Otherwise, Madame Anna and Goethe of the Morvis family had a daughter after so many years, and they were frail and sickly because of mixed blood, and if it were not for Marin, whether their daughter would have lived to adulthood, or whether they would have a quality of life after living to adulthood is a question.

Of course, the elves have to make changes, that is to make them willing, Marin will not put a gun to their heads to force them, the elves' life and death do not matter to Marin's opinion, because there will always be someone who will stupidize themselves to death, Marin has already persuaded them, and the next thing is to see their own performance.

With things in order, Marin made another round of the northern settlements.

There was already a small block of houses already built, white ash, stone bricks, and magical, so that the world's two-story buildings could be built as quickly as possible, and Marlin noticed that several families had moved in, and one of them caught Marin's attention.

"Who's that?" Marin turned his head and asked as a subjective young butler - this is Sibien Tofan, the grandson of Russell Tofan, he is a young man with vigorous energy, hearing Marin's question, he immediately glanced at the roster in his hand: "Sir, her name is Four Leaves, and she is a standard half-blood elf." ”

"Yes." Marlin nodded, and at the same time affirmed a question - this elf must have used illusion, in Marin's eyes, she was a standard High Elf, blonde, white skin, and raised eyes.

Why did she hide her identity and become a half-breed, of course, this is not the question Marlin wants to know: "What did she buy the house?" ”

"Yes, sir, she bought it herself, and judging by her identity records, she is a rich young widow who just lost her husband three months ago." Sibion looked at the roster in his hand and answered Marin's question: "There is no news of her from the elven embassy, it should be a descendant of the high elves who did not follow the island back then." ”

That's great, young, rich, dead husband, and promotion, raise, dead wife are the same thing.

Marin sighed - this young survivor was really a fascinating being, Marin admitted that he was indeed interested, why did she pretend to be a survivor, who was he serving?

Or is she just serving herself?

Or rather, it's just an insurance for the elves - Marin and the elves have a cooperative relationship, and they are more wary and confused, and the two sides don't fully trust each other, so they ...... She was the elves who came to record his words and deeds?

It shouldn't be, this place in the North District is a full three blocks away from the core area planned by Marin himself, and there will be a large number of surgical detection systems, so they can't observe it with the naked eye from three blocks.

"Find your people, investigate the situation of this lady's stay, where is her hometown?" Marin asked.

"She lives in the Eastern Kingdom, which is normal, she has a very standard Eastern Kingdom accent, her hometown is the Western Province of Trudeau, born in the city of Sarudo Trudeau, but there was a chaotic siege three years ago, and the entire city was burned down, I'm afraid we won't be able to investigate any useful clues."

"No, Sibion, that's already a clue." Marin smiled and patted the young man on the shoulder: "To be a detective, you have to learn to doubt, and such a girl is enough for you to doubt whether her identity is true, arrange someone to follow her, she must be stared at when she goes out, let's see, what doubts and incomprehension will be in the eyes of a surviving person." ”

"Confused? Indissoluble? Sibion was puzzled.

Marin smiled: "The doubt is because she has just become a survivor, you see her face is calm, neither happy nor sad, but she looks at us curiously, thinking why, what is more important than she misses her dead husband, or misses the new lover she just met." ”

"You mean, that's a fake?"

"Reasonable suspicion is the way to survive, so, keep up with it, and if you lose it, start wanting it all over the city immediately." After saying that, Marin jumped into the carriage that drove to his side: "Sibien, take care of here." ”

"Yes, sir."

"Are you suspicious of that girl?" Cross, who was sitting in the front row, turned around and looked at Marin: "How old is she, in my eyes, she is like a child." ”

"Sibion's roster says she's a survivor." Marin made a well-founded rebuttal.

"Humans are terrible." As a Toby rabbit orc, Cross sighed.

"yes, humans are terrible." As a Leipzig sheepman, Lilim agrees with Cross.

Marlin chooses to pull out a piece of jerky and tell Revo to shut up, otherwise the house-leprechaun will surely turn into a repeater at this moment.

As for Marin himself...... Hehe, as a steppe elf and a frost giant half-breed, Marin said that he has nothing to do with me.

"But why are you letting Sibion look at her, is there really something wrong with her?" Cross turned and leaned on the backrest.

"Think about it, an elf whose husband died three months ago, and now as a surviving person, but standing at the door and watching others build houses, do you think there is something wrong with her?"

“…… All right. As soon as she finished speaking, Cross frowned: "You are not wrong, I remember her, when I saw her, there was no sadness on her face, this is not normal." ”

"So I've got people to follow him, hoping to get something out of it, but if I can prove that this is a normal surviving person, I'll be happier." Marin doesn't like suspicions coming true, so I still hope that he really has no problems.
