Chapter 98: Avina's Thoughts
The news grew wings, and it was not only the two forces that participated in the war that flew to it, but also the surrounding forces that got some news to a greater or lesser extent.
Of course, they got the news much later, it was incomplete, and there were even a lot of inaccuracies.
Because the news they obtained did not come from that battlefield, but from the dark line arranged in the Wall family and the Isis family.
The so-called secret is like this, as long as one person knows, there will be two, three, four...... 10,000 people know.
As a result, all kinds of eyes fell on that place again, and the various spies who had temporarily disappeared from there due to Lilith's evolutionary madness appeared again, and there were a lot more.
Of course, this is not entirely a bad thing, not all of these forces that sent out spies are plotting against Langdon, of course, they will not let it go if they have the opportunity, but their main purpose is to investigate, to investigate Langdon, to inspect his territory, to see if there is a need to add a trading partner.
There are few alliances in the underworld, but no one will refuse if it's just trade.
The Larry brothers and the five of them left again, and with that battle as a guarantee, the town of Far Hope would not be in much trouble for a long time to come, so Langdon decided to recruit the inhabitants again.
Although it already has a size of more than 2,000 people, it is still far from the ideal number for Langdon.
That point of inhabitants, it is barely able to maintain the current speed of the project, if you want to expand the development can not be done at all, and the number of soldiers is even more insufficient, it can be seen from that battle, that point of soldiers, even to defend a city wall is not enough, if the number of enemies is more, from three sides, the lord of Yuanwang Town will be replaced.
Langdon could have forcibly converted soldiers from the existing population, at least expanding the number of regular troops to more than 300, but that was on the premise of reducing the speed of the project, and the quality of the additional 200 people was very low, and the possibility of transferring and becoming stronger was very small, so the benefits of this transformation outweighed the losses.
However, this time Langdon's need for the population was not so urgent, so he put forward higher requirements, only recruiting goblins, lizardmen, dark elves, and black dwarves, as for other races, they didn't want it, unlike last time, for the sake of numbers, even goblins, underground halflings, underground kobolds and the like.
It's not that Langdon doesn't look down on these races, it's just that the more races that exist in the settlement, the more likely it is to have problems, which has been fully verified in the overland world.
In this way, the territory entered a normal rhythm of development again.
Belch...... It's not entirely normal either.
For example, Langdon's big butler, Avina children's shoes, are a little abnormal.
Bang!
A loud sound brought the distracted Avina back to reality, and hurriedly took the long-handled iron spoon out of a wide-mouth glass.
Seeing that the head of the iron spoon was almost completely dissolved by the solution in the cup, Avina couldn't help but stomp her foot in frustration, turned around and walked to the corner, and threw the iron spoon into one of the several trash cans.
The trash cans are divided into several pieces in order to sort and recycle the failed objects of the alchemy experiment, none of these things are absolutely safe, and only in this way can they be sorted and discarded.
There is already a lot of waste in these garbage cans, such as broken cups, test tubes, materials that have failed to transform, and so on.
All of them were made by Avina in the last week, and the amount has exceeded the amount produced in the past month.
The reason is ...... She was suddenly idle.
Well, the main reason is that she has been wandering a lot lately, alchemy, a delicate work that requires a high degree of mental concentration, once her mind wanders, it is very easy to fail, Avina not only ruined a lot of things, but also almost injured herself a few times.
Of course, the reason why her mind wandered was because she became idle.
The reason why it became idle was, of course, because of the two women who suddenly appeared.
They suddenly appeared at the tavern after the battle and were taken back to the Lord's Mansion by Langdon.
This was not a strange situation for Avina as Hogg had come to be, and even though she was still in captivity at the time, that didn't stop her from knowing it.
Moreover, it is not surprising that Langdon, who can create miracles in a row, can suddenly find two people.
However, not being strange does not mean that you can accept it.
Especially after Langdon directly appointed the two of them as interior officials and military governors respectively.
You know, Avina was in charge of these things before this, especially the internal affairs part, although the general direction was Langdon to get the idea, but all the specific implementation was her.
Although at the beginning, it was completely to catch ducks on the shelves, but after doing it for a long time, I got used to it, and now I suddenly don't have to do this, and Avina suddenly feels extremely uncomfortable.
It's not just the emptiness that she has nothing to do, but more importantly, she has always had a strange feeling in her heart, that feeling is indescribable, but it does exist, and it is that feeling that makes Avina always wander and depressed, whether it is in alchemy experiments or when practicing magic, all kinds of mistakes.
Throwing away the discarded iron spoon, Avina stood directly on the edge of the trash can and began to be in a daze again, it took a long time to wake up, shook her head and drove all kinds of inexplicable cranky thoughts out of her head, and to see that the trash can was full, she simply lifted it up and walked outside.
This was originally the work of the subordinates, but in order to make her alchemy experiments more convenient, Langdon specially found two female black dwarves to clean up the laboratory and provide some help when she needed it.
But today, for some reason, Avina didn't want to call them, and it seemed that while Landon gave her position to someone else, she was also disqualified from using these subordinates.
The trash can is not light, and Avina dragged the bucket down the corridor with some difficulty, and began to think uncontrollably again.
At this moment, a voice rang out, "Avina!"
Avina was stunned, but her feet did not stop, but sped up a little, the owner of this voice is the last thing she wants to see at this time, or is she afraid to see it?
However, how fast can a weak woman drag a large trash can?
Footsteps soon followed, followed by Langdon's voice, "Avina, didn't you hear me calling you? Why are you dealing with this garbage, and what about the others? Are you lazy again?"
The voice was faintly unpleasant, but Avina knew that it was not for her, on the contrary, it was caring for her, and she couldn't help but feel a little sweet in her heart, and just as she wanted to say something, she heard Langdon continue: "What's wrong with your hand? Also, I remember that I just disposed of alchemy garbage a few days ago, why is there so much again?"
Avina turned to face Langdon and opened her mouth, but before the words could be spoken, tears fell first......
