When Ariana returned, Lormin showed the princess's letter to the crowd, further dispelling their doubts and increasing their confidence in Lormin.

In some respects, though, the princess had resorted to tai chi, but in others she had agreed to Lockin's suggestion—which at least meant that she had acknowledged Lockin's domination over Vanshee.

Because, if she didn't admit Luo Ming's current situation, she wouldn't discuss these things with him at all.

That's enough. The emperor was far away, and the nobles knew that as long as the royal family did not intend to directly intervene in Fanshi County by force, then Luo Ming's position was almost unshakable.

There are still some hesitant people who can make up their minds to follow Luo Ming, and those who have followed Luo Ming are even more happy and determined.

Next, he and Ariana came to the city of Carlo Hill.

At this moment, the mountain city seems a little deserted.

On the one hand, the reason is that many of the evacuees who had taken refuge in the mountain castle during the war have left.

On the other hand, it is because those who have been living in the mountain city have also been sent by Luo Ming to participate in the reconstruction work in various places.

It was a pity that he had to clear the wilderness at the beginning, but now that I think about it, it can be regarded as basically restoring his territory to a blank state, and a blank piece of paper is easy to paint, and he can plan and build from scratch.

In the past, the planning of his domain was made separately by many different nobles.

Not to mention the fact that they cooperate with each other to make up for it, and there is even a situation where the nobles guard against each other, and the land utilization rate is insufficient, and it will be much better to re-plan and build now, and its potential can be fully tapped.

Moreover, in the end, it is only the buildings that have been destroyed, Luo Ming now has a large brick factory, and it is ready to expand further, and there are good timber in Karlo Mountain, which is completely sufficient.

As for the stone - Luo Ming didn't want to build the traditional castle anymore, and the fortresses he liked like the Iron Fire City were mainly made of rammed earth and bricks, so the demand for stone dropped dramatically, and it was almost dispensable.

As for the fields, they have only been burned once, and they can be used with a little clearing - the ashes can also fertilize the fields, and next year there will be a rare harvest.

On the way into the mountain city, the two did not meet too many people, but after everyone recognized the two, they all showed gratitude and respect, and some even cheered at them.

"What a bunch of good boys. Walking into the mage tower, Aya paused and looked in the direction of the outside of the tower, and suddenly sighed.

"Good boy, your body is not yet twenty, you are full of vitality, is it necessary to say so old-fashioned?" Luo Ming pouted.

"I, who have inherited Miss Liana's body, life, and soul, may indeed be said to be very young, a little younger than you;

But on the other hand, I am also a part of Aya, and the whole life of those mortals is far from a long time for Aya. ”

Ariana said seriously: "Mortals, in my eyes, are actually children, nothing more than the difference between precocious and late maturation, old maturity and childishness. Now I can understand the state of mind of His Highness Black Sun saying this.

Protecting them to thrive is indeed a very rewarding thing. ”
