For Lord Gibson's contribution to the prosperity of Kingston, the head manager Zabas gave great affirmation, which made the old man feel very comfortable. In his spare time, the old man would take a group of dogs to the streets from time to time, and by the way, he would also clean up the disobedient thorns in the town and extinguish their prestige.

"Hmph, this Kingston belongs to our family, those ruffians and hooligans had better give me some peace. "Master Gibson had just beaten up a notorious gangster in town, and said to the bodyguard leader next to him with a look of disdain.

"Of course, sir, you're right. Who doesn't know that this poor and remote ravine, where even wild birds don't want to inhabit it, is what your lord made him prosperous. The leader of the guard flattered.

A man dressed as an accountant next to him also came over and patted his ass: "Mr. Hans, what you said is so correct. Master, in the future, bastards like this who disrupt the normal operation of the mine should be cleaned up fiercely, otherwise it will not only cause financial losses to the lord and the respected lord, but also cause reputational damage!"

"Well, you two are right. Then you can keep an eye on me, sir, and if any eyeless bastard dares to make trouble for those who work for us, you know what to do!" said the old man, stroking his beard a few times.

"Yes, merciful lord. The group of people surrounding the old man all responded in unison.

With the groundbreaking of the Ziying Stone Mine, the number of people coming and going to the town has gradually increased. The growing popularity has also led to the handicraft and service industries in Kingston, which has led to other sources of income for many indigenous residents.

Since Kingston had the lord of Aaron, everyone's standard of living has indeed been as prosperous as he originally said. Unconsciously, the aborigines and the first few groups of freedmen who migrated to live in Kingston began to tilt towards the lord's family, and the centripetal force of the territory was strengthened.

Under these circumstances, the miserly old man seemed to be full of ambition, and it seemed that as long as he maintained the management model of Mr. Zabas, and then continued to attract more displaced people to settle in Kingston, he might be more imposing than His Excellency Count Anthony of Salz!

Now, as the amethy stone mine continues to be mined, truckloads of amethyst are stored in batches according to different qualities in the newly built warehouse in the town.

In a simple but neat room in the town, two figures were discussing something.

"My lord, in the past half a month since the start of the Ziying Stone Mine, the permanent population of Kingston has rapidly expanded to about 500 people, and the flow of people has been about 3,000, which is indeed gratifying. However, the ensuing security, health and financial problems are also becoming more prominent. "After Aaron carefully reviewed the situation of his own territory, the governor Zabas listed the main problems that had arisen in the past few days.

"Well, that's a real headache. It should be clear that I am indeed lacking in this ability, and I need to rely on you a lot, sir. Aaron frowned, he didn't expect that a lord was not as easy as he imagined, and a lot of ghost things had to wait for him to solve.

"Thank you for your compliment, I, Zabas, will definitely do my best to share my worries with you!" Zabas replied in a loud voice.

"Well, on paper, the taxes paid by the newly settled lords are simply not enough to cover the expenses of our entire territory, and you still need to come up with more ways to save money in this regard." Aaron said with a heavy heart.

"Yes, my lord, the strength and progress of our ore mining are limited by the constraints of capital and manpower, as long as we have a certain amount of funds to bring in resources, the financial situation will soon be improved, and it will also promote the prosperity of all aspects of the territory. This is not something that can be achieved in a short period of time, but the security and health aspects must be strengthened quickly, otherwise the negative impact on your lord may cause a lot of damage. ”

"Well, you can figure it out in terms of health, and I'll do it in terms of security. Aaron nodded.

"The territory is gradually prospering, and outsiders and some outlaws in the nearby area have also put their hands on Kingston. These people have colluded with each other, and they have caused a lot of bad influence in Kingston!"

Aaron nodded, a cold glint in his eyes.

Half a month later, Aaron received a message from Duke Paul, asking him to leave immediately and return to the legion to stand by. After giving an explanation before leaving, Aaron returned to Oak Fort alone.

It turned out that according to the order of His Majesty Louis XXX, most of the spies lurking in the empire of the Holy See have been driven out of the empire, and only some of them have not been discovered very deeply, but they probably do not dare to act rashly. Because of this, the Holy See has not yet fully grasped the strength of the Aragon people, and has not yet launched the first shot of the holy war against the Empire. With the exception of the Slovenian Empire, all forces across the continent have stepped up their training. Everyone wants to gain some benefit from the rich and vast land of Aragon in this holy war.

In view of the intelligence that Aragon and Slovenia had secretly formed an alliance and secretly trained powerful dragoons, the Holy See and the Empire of Light temporarily suppressed the urgency of jihad and secretly trained troops that could be countered. However, friction and exchange of fire on the border are still frequent, but on a small scale.

As a result, the situation on the mainland began to enter a very delicate and calm stage. But everyone knows that once someone throws a small stone on the surface of this seemingly calm pool, but in fact there is a constant undercurrent, the next moment it will be a monstrous wave, and it will never die.

At such a moment, once you are on the wrong side, it is doomed. Every small country and city-state stared at the changes in the situation on the continent with red eyes. Although the Empire of Light is extremely powerful, and there is the support of the Holy See behind it, who can guarantee that the people of Aragon will not be able to achieve ultimate glory?

After meeting with the duke, Aaron was secretly happy when he learned the general situation of the continent now, and it is estimated that most people are in the same mood as himself.

This time he summoned Aaron back, in fact, it was mainly a person who met Aaron, so he issued an edict through the mouth of the duke.

"Hi Aaron, I heard that you were canonized as a baron, why, now that you are a lord, ignore me?" It was Dai Lisi who spoke, the injuries on her body had long since healed, and the whole person exuded a strange charm.

"It turned out to be you, I thought you were dead, but I didn't expect you to be alive!" Alan said coldly.

"You, what a rude fellow. Miss Ben is in a good mood today, so I won't worry too much about you!Let me ask you, the demonic beast you summoned at the Radiance Fortress that time was a manticore?"

The matter of the manticore can't be wrapped up anymore, so why not admit it generously! After making up his mind, Aaron said, "Yes. Do you still want to tie me up to the church to be judged by the Pastor of Light?"

"Hmph!" Dai Lisi glared at him angrily and said, "Your matter has been known to the imperial capital, I estimate that in less than two months, there will be news from the imperial capital to let you go." ”

"Imperial Capital?" Alun snorted. Although he expected that once the connection between the scorpion lion and himself was discovered, it would definitely cause trouble, but he didn't expect that even the imperial capital would notice it.

"Haha, look at the one who scares you, don't worry, even if you go to the imperial capital, nothing bad should happen. Don't be afraid to tell you, we ............."

It turned out that after the First World War of the Shining Fortress, the Lord of War abandoned the believers of Aragon. The eighteen temples of war in the empire's territory have lost their former glory, and have suddenly become buildings without a noble atmosphere.

The abandonment of the gods made the Aragon people scorn and disdain by the countries of the mainland, and also made those forces that were still wavering stand on the side of the Empire of Light without hesitation. The loss of the blessing and blessing of the Lord of War also heralded the imminent collapse of the vast Aragon Empire.

Now that the whole of the Aragon Empire is in a state of despair and hesitation, His Majesty Louis III must find a new powerful deity for the people and for his throne in the shortest possible time, even if it is evil!

"In this way, the honeymoon period between the empire and Slovenia will be a long time. Aaron said softly.

My father thought so, too. Okay, I've said what I'm going to say, is there anything else you don't understand for me?" asked Talis.

Well, why don't that things open a breakthrough in her?

"I do have something I want to ask you, Miss!" said Aaron's face looked a little better.

"Hmph, it's not a good thing that your little bastard's face has changed so quickly!" said Talis, rather displeased.

"Whatever you want, if you don't want to answer, I won't force it!" Aaron said indifferently.

"Damn! Okay, then you ask. Dai Lisi really couldn't do anything about him, and said coquettishly.

"I've heard that the military headquarters is forming a strong army of troops, dragoons? I don't know if it's true. Aaron didn't hide it anymore, and asked straight to the point.

"Ah, how do you know that?" exclaimed Talis.

"Hehe, so it's true?"

Dalyse didn't speak, but nodded her head in confirmation.

"Then I wonder if you silver foxes are also on the list?" Aaron asked.

"No, the newly formed dragoons are independent of the military headquarters and are directly under the command of His Majesty!" Dai Lisi said solemnly.

"Uh......" Alan didn't expect this to be the case.

"Why, what are you asking about, are you trying to do anything wrong?" asked Talis, her eyes fixed on Aaron's eyes.

"Hey, it's a bit of an attempt, but it's not bad!" Aaron quipped.
