Chapter 279: There's Nothing There

Ari just came back, and there's a lot going on.

After dealing with the accumulated documents, Ari put them aside for the time being, and began to devote himself to the death of the old king.

He had no affection for the old king. Even Gal himself, who had never met a few times, could only be said to be in awe than in love.

Therefore, the talk of national grief has always been reserved for official reports in the remote parts of Atlanta City. At least Ari didn't make any waves in the city, except for hearing that a certain nobleman fainted on the spot due to grief at a certain banquet.

However, Ari also knew with his toes that Atlanta City would inevitably change a lot of things next, and the military action may not be big, but the action of the politicians is definitely not small.

This is also the political turmoil that the overlap of rights will inevitably bring, after all, it is time for the group of people who followed Tolkien to enjoy the fruits of victory.

I'm afraid that Leopold's father Lannis's position as the city lord is not so secure, and there is already gossip in the city, and Tolkien will choose a more suitable person to take over the position of city lord of Atlanta, a major city in the north.

After looking at the relevant expectations for a while, Ari said to himself: "Lannis's promotion to marquis looks like glory, but in fact it is useless, after all, it is only a lifelong marquis, and it cannot be hereditary. โ€

"Gergil and Mirรณ have both been promoted to earls, and the economic lifeline of Atlanta City has been captured by them, and when the situation stabilizes, it is estimated that they will either be transferred back to the royal capital or sit on one side. โ€

"Gal has been made a duke, it seems...... You can stock up on a large plot of land again. โ€

Ari rubbed his chin and searched the map for a suitable place. Naturally, it is impossible to be near the base, and there is only one place in the central area of the city, except for a few commercial streets, which is the residence of the nobles, and only the west of the city is possible, and it is very likely. There is a famous slum in Atlanta City, and as long as you pay a little money, the place will naturally be caught.

As for whether settling among a group of poor people in the west of the city would lose the glory of nobility, it was not in Ari's mind at all. As long as he is given time to develop, there will be no more paupers in Atlanta!

After thinking about it, Ari suddenly set his eyes on a large blank space on the map, which was outside the city, and there was a large barren mountain!

"Maybe we could consider building it outside the city?"

At this moment, a worried Gal suddenly walked in through the door. Ari glanced up at him, and suddenly laughed narrowly: "The extreme sadness is covered by a smile, and it seems to be even more sad...... Why, don't you continue to pretend to be smiling?"

Gal blushed, he knew that he couldn't fool Ari, but then, he said angrily: "And say it's brother, I suffered such a big blow, but you don't even have a word of comfort! Even that kid from Rollin hasn't been working against me recently!"

Ari laughed, "What is there to be comforted by what I have expected for a long time, being hit twice by the same thing, it is simply not as good as a Pigmon." โ€

Garr's little face turned red again, although he was not as sad as expected, but there was still a sense of loss.

Ari thought for a while and said: "After all, it was your grandfather who died, although the relationship between the royal families is indifferent, but after all, they are blood relatives, since your father won't let you go back, then let Sister Yelena go to the royal capital for you, her status as a saint is about to be realized, and it is also beneficial to go to the royal capital Lulu to face her." โ€

A touch of sadness appeared on Gal's face: "Well, I will personally go and beg Sister Yelena." โ€

Ari nodded, lowered his head and continued to study the map on the table, Gal glanced at it, quickly put away his sadness, and silently walked to the table to look at it.

Ari seemed to know that he was looking at the map, and without looking up, he pointed to a place on the map and said, "I have decided to build your duke's palace outside the city, and that large piece of land outside the west of the city is very good. โ€

"You decide. Gal nodded casually, even though it was his ducal palace, he never cared. Ari's decision is his decision, and he believes in Ari.

Ari nodded and said, "Jeff told me that your fief will probably be in the north, but according to the tradition of the kingdom, the duke's fief will be at the border to guard the country.

Your territory is most likely in the area east of Atlanta, and you will definitely not be in a border town like Atlanta. So, I've decided to let you give up your territory in exchange for a clearing outside the west of the city and the barren mountain behind him. โ€

"Is there anything in the clearing outside the west of the city?" asked Gal, somewhat confused.

Ari shook his head, "No, there's nothing there. โ€

"And what are we going to do there?"

"It's because there's nothing that we want to be there. โ€

Gal thought for a moment and couldn't figure out what it meant, so he nodded: "I'll listen to you, and I'll ask Jeff to write a letter to my father asking for that piece of land." โ€

Ari continued: "Also, as a duke, you can have a personal guard of 1,000 people, and the conscription is left to you, Jeff will only guide you when you make a mistake, and most of the cases will be decided by yourself." โ€

Gal's face suddenly became bitter: "The Youth Gang has just assigned some people to me, and the things over there are enough for me to be busy, and there are still a lot of study tasks every day, and the conscription is still yours." โ€

Ai Rui said angrily: "Just your hall, ten or twenty people, all of them are teenagers, what can you do." You can do the things of the guards yourself, and it will be your homework for a while!"

Gal's eyes lit up, "Homework, so you don't have to do the rest of your homework?"

Ari snorted and said, "Think about the beauty, you have to do both, this is extra homework!"

Gal was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but wail, "I'm still a child!"

"Go, go," Eri's little face darkened instantly, and he threatened: "If you grind again, you will build the Duke's Mansion yourself." โ€

Gar disappeared from the study in an instant without saying a word, and Arina did what he said.

By the time Gal left, Ari had already begun to plan the land outside the city, and whether Tolkien gave it or not, he would find a way to take it.

Because he just discovered that if he wants to radiate the entire north of the continent from Atlanta City, this is the best place for the Young Pioneers to develop.

He had just told Gal that there was nothing there, and the description might be a little inaccurate.

Because there is a river and a big mountain there.
