221 Shake it off
"My lord, this fund and order you brought back is so timely!"
Rollaire's face smiled like a flower, the Thorntok Chamber of Commerce's current sea and land business is becoming more and more prosperous, and the armory factory has been working overtime day and night to catch up with orders, however, because Soentok is building a new city, the funding gap is still very large, the orders brought back by Moon Shadow this time are certainly considerable, but what makes him happiest is the magic crystal card that stores nearly 10 million gold coins, Moon Shadow originally wanted to take a few treasures from the Dragon Tomb and let him entrust the Chamber of Commerce to sell them, considering his heart's ability to bear it, he had to stop.
Moon Shadow tells him about what happened in the Duchy of San Gabiwon, and Rollaire feels sorry for canceling his trip to the Elven Kingdom, but he doesn't disagree with Moon Shadow's decision.
Weak countries have no diplomacy, everyone understands this truth, if those elves are allowed to put on a strong side, it is not good for Hawaii Island, as for Hefik...... It has nothing to do with personal likes and dislikes.
"Rollaire, what do you think about the Royal Academy of Magic Martial Arts establishing a branch in Thorntok?" Moon Shadow asked, she had just read Rolelle's report on this, but she had just signed a verbal agreement with Elken to forfeit her power and humiliate the country, and she had to inform him of this matter as soon as possible.
"That's a good thing!"
Rollaire didn't care about the problem of land: "No matter who gets the throne of the empire, the Demon Martial Academy must be located in the royal capital, and Elken can set up the branch in Thorntok, which is already the biggest gain, and over time, the development of Thorntok will definitely be better than that of Port Prince." ”
"That's good. I'm also afraid you'll object. In addition, I am going to retreat for a while, and you will be in charge of all the affairs. Moon Shadow said.
"But...... My lord, this time the new city is expanded, Hawaii Island and Soentok have absorbed a lot of refugees from the Principality of the Sun, those civilians are easy to handle, as long as they have a job and a place to live, but those nobles are more troublesome. Rolyle said with some embarrassment.
"Rollaire. According to the laws of the Empire, the lord can enact and enforce laws within the territory that do not directly conflict with the interests of the Empire, and in the Hawaii Territory, no one is above the law, and if those people want to do things, you can use what they can, can you understand this? ”
"Yes, I understand." Roel nodded hurriedly.
"I'm going to have some preparations going on these days, so you can come to me if you have something. Please ask Master Tumen and Captain Ottawa to come over. Moon Shadow commanded.
"Yes, sir."
After Rollaire left, Moon Shadow fell into contemplation again, the phenomenon that Rollel said is indeed a very troublesome thing, most of those nobles are families with a relatively long history, and it is very troublesome to really make trouble, the best way is to send gifts abroad, but at present, ....... a i s h u z h start
"Miss, Master Tumen and Captain Ottawa are here." Shen Bao'er gently pushed the door in.
"Master Tumen, please come in first." Moon Shadow commanded.
I haven't seen it for a while, and the goblin master's appearance has been somewhat reduced. Moon Shadow asked with concern, "Master, have you been too busy lately?" Pay attention to rest, the body is the biggest capital. ”
"Hehe, it's just that I haven't slept well in a while. People are old, sleep less, and don't get in the way. Tumen smiled. His gaze wandered back and forth on Moon Shadow's table.
"Master. What are you looking for? ”
Moon Shadow followed his gaze, there was nothing on the table except for a few documents, could it be that he was interested in handling government affairs?
"My lord, you didn't come to me this time because of my physical condition, right?" The eyes of the old goblin are bright and shiny.
Moon Shadow suddenly, she smiled and took out a stack of drawings and handed them over.
"It's ...... Do you want to make a puppet? ”
Tumen flipped through a few of the above drawings and said what the parts did. This surprised Moonshadow. These drawings are the puppet drawings she has drawn overnight in the past few days, but she didn't expect to be broken by him.
"Yes. Master, do you know the puppet? Moon Shadow asked.
"Yes, I once made this for an alchemist, but his puppet is not as elaborate as you designed, and besides, it doesn't need such good metal, what a waste!"
Tumen looked at the drawings and shook his head again and again...... The loser is not so defeated, these sets of drawings are all made of extremely rare magic metals, and he roughly estimates that if all the parts on these drawings are completed, it is estimated that a duchy can go bankrupt.
Moon Shadow smiled disapprovingly, this set of drawings was a total of seven puppets---- one puppet dragon, four puppet warriors and two puppet mages, if it wasn't for the large amount of materials obtained in the dragon clan, she wouldn't dare to be so extravagant.
However, there is input to produce output, and after these puppets are successfully refined, their strength is definitely no less than that of a cultivator in the Yuan Infant Stage. When it comes to fighting, she can be arrogant---
If you want to go it alone, you kid will go it alone; If you want to be beaten in a group, hehe, then we'll beat you up!
"Master, when will the parts of these seven sets of puppets be machined?" Moon Shadow asked.
Tumen looked at the drawings, his fingers brushed on the desktop for a while, then raised his head and said, "The craftsmanship requirements of these puppet lands are too complicated, and there are not many people in the clan who can make these parts...... I personally took someone to process it, and if the materials were ready, it would be enough in six months. ”
"Well, it's about the same time as I expected, master, you go back and inform the Rockefeller patriarch and ask him to prepare, if there are no accidents, in a year, I can complete the agreement with him."
"Agreed?" Tumen's eyes lit up: "My lord, you mean to go to the Lost Islands?" ”
"Yes, it's time to take a look, if the situation on the mainland hasn't changed significantly this year, I'm going to take a look." Moon Shadow said calmly, "Master, when you go out, please let the Ottavi Commander in." ”
"Good, good!"
When Tumen left, his old eyes lit up, as if he had taken a strong pill. Covered with spirits, Ottaway turned his head when he entered the door, not understanding why this old man was so energetic.
"You may be seated!"
Moon Shadow gestured to the chair in front of her desk and motioned for Ottavi to sit down.
"Ottawa, how is the current situation of the city defense forces?" Moon Shadow asked.
"The current equipment and training of the city defense force are relatively normal, after you left, Master Christie led us to capture a group of Earth Walking Dragons and Wing Dragons, and formed two Earth Walking Dragon Brigade and one Wing Dragon Brigade, which are currently in the run-in period. It is not yet possible to form effective combat effectiveness. ”
Ottawa is a soldier of the academy faction, but his personal force value is not even comparable to that of ordinary officers, and he still acts in the style of a literati, and he is used to writing everything in a notebook, and watching him read according to the book reminds Moon Shadow of the school teacher.
"Ottawa, the Earth Dragons and Wing Dragons must be equipped with a group of mercenary groups, don't engage in self-centeredness, they are the other fist of the Hawaii Leader, and they must have enough strength." Moon Shadow admonished. These guys who lead the troops have a common problem, they can't give up their good money, and they would rather hold good things in their hands than give them to others...... But you also see who others are, aren't they?
"Yes, sir." Ottawa nodded hurriedly, in all fairness, he still has a very strong position on these matters, and Moon Shadow is just instructing.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, there are quite a few soldiers among the displaced people who came from the Principality of the Sun this time. They are all formally trained in military affairs, and if they are recruited, they will quickly form a fighting force, and if the Beamon Empire suddenly launches a war, we can also have enough manpower to use it. ”
Moon Shadow tilted her head sideways and thought for a moment, and asked, "These people are all defeated generals. And the Duchy of the Sun is occupied. That Sun Grand Duke is still in the country, can it still be used? ”
"Morale can be improved, the sun has perished, as long as they become the people of the Hawai Territory, they will naturally serve the lord." Ottawa said this very well--- allegiance to the Lunaris rather than the Dreis Empire.
Moonshadow is convinced that his duty as a lord is to bring prosperity and stability to his people. Naturally, those lords should owe allegiance to her, the lord. Otherwise, is there still heavenly reason?
"Ottawa, there's one thing. The lord's private army is organized, and if there are too many, I'm afraid there will be trouble. Moreover, those people may not be willing to join the mercenary group. Moon Shadow had another headache at the thought of this.
Ottawa has already made up his mind: "This is not a problem, the Chamber of Commerce can also set up a protective army." The Soentok Chamber of Commerce could come forward and set up a Guardian Knights, which could have about a thousand men, and according to custom, one knight could bring four servants, so that there would be five thousand men. ”
It turns out that the account can be calculated like this? Moon Shadow was stunned.
Wu Taiwei smiled: "In fact, many nobles do this, as long as they have money, after all, raising an army is the most expensive." ”
Moon Shadow thought for a moment and said, "This matter can be slowed down first, you discuss it with Rorel, don't be in a hurry, I estimate that it is impossible for the Beamon Empire to go to war with the Empire in the near future?" ”
"Why?" Ottawa is rarely confused.
"The empire is now in a civil war, and if there is a war with the Beamon Empire, the princes will inevitably be unanimous in their guns, and if they wait for them to lose before marching into the army, the situation may be completely different.
Moreover, the Beamon Empire has made up its mind this time, and they will not go on an expedition until they have completely digested the territory of the Principality of the Bright Sun. ”
"Seeing the undead, when did these well-limbed creatures become so smart!" Ottawa was greatly moved.
Moon Shadow smiled: "You are outdated, that kind of simple killing chickens and eggs will no longer work, and this behavior of the Beamons can be regarded as keeping pace with the times!" ”
"Ottawa, there is another very important thing today, have you heard of the dragon sealing ceremony?" Moon Shadow finally got to the point of today.
Ottaway shook his head blankly.
It's no wonder that most people, except for the monarchs and religious leaders of various countries, don't know about it. Moon Shadow told him in detail, and when he heard that there were three places in the Hawaii Territory, Ottavi was very excited.
"We also have three spots this time, but I'm going to have to go through the back door." Moon Shadow said, referring to Alto, Fenna, and Asha.
These three people are the leaders of the lord's personal guard, and Ottawa naturally can't raise objections, anyway, there will be opportunities for land in the future. After exchanging views on the defense of Hawai and Sonetok, Ottaway took his leave.
