Chapter 578: Busy and Busy

With 15 days to go before the king's wedding celebration, it was obviously impossible to start the construction of the playground at such a time. Fortunately, Victor only needs to do a good job in the site selection and design of the playground, and the subsequent construction tasks will naturally be completed by the craftsmen of the Auguste family. Even if they can't, Victor can send an experienced engineering team over to create the perfect place for his eldest daughter, who is not yet born.

Anyway, the artisan team of the Two-Headed Dragon Chamber of Commerce is about to travel to various parts of the Kingdom of Gombis to build giant brick kilns for the Great Lords. Isn't it a matter of Victor's words to set up the first giant brick kiln in the Duchy of Ausved in the plain of Blinor?

Victor and Roland spent three days surveying the entire Duchy of Ausveld. In this job, Roland actually can't help at all, she is purely to get rid of her entourage and enjoy the freedom of the Golden Knight to roam freely. Edward stayed in the castle of the dukedom, so anxious that it was useless to stare. Even the veteran knights can't keep up with the speed of the two highnesses, not to mention that the little king and Anna are only senior trainee knights.

High-ranking knights will not pull out seedlings to help them grow, and when the heirs reach the level of eternal youth, they will naturally be able to deeply understand the concept of the companionship of the transcendent. Even though Edward was the king of Cambys, he was no different from an ordinary aristocratic boy, fearing that Victor's empathy with Princess Roland would cause his most beloved sister and mother to turn against him.

However, when Victor started to make the terrain sand table of the Duchy of Ausved, the little king immediately became interested, followed Victor's ass and asked questions, helping him to install forest and lake models on the sand table, a little heel that was alive.

Edward was not the only one of these little henchmen, but also Roland and Anna, as well as a group of great craftsmen sent by Kite Castle to the Dukes of Ausveld.

They have different mentalities for Victor to be an associate, but whether it is out of personal interest or wanting to steal skills, everyone tries to learn the skills of building a sand table in the process of helping Victor get started.

Victor doesn't answer anyone's questions, he doesn't have that much time to teach his apprentices. In fact, there is no secret to making a sand table, it is only valuable in one idea. As long as the lords send more people and spend a little more time, they can always make a miniature sand table of the territory. Only when the scout cavalry is also proficient in the knowledge of architects surveying the terrain and drawing maps, can the sand table have excellent military practical value.

Of course, the military value of the sand table corresponds to the battle of the Great Army. Centaur Hills began to train a professional scout team a few years ago.

In any case, the mountains, rivers, forests, lakes, farmlands, pastures, towns and villages of the Duchy of Ausveld are intuitively presented on the sand table, and the perspective of the gods is spontaneous, which is enough to shock those who have seen the sand table for the first time. Catherine's knights and scholars were in admiration for Randall, while Roland and Edward's siblings happily pointed out to the sandbox.

The layout of the towns, roads, and military installations in the Duchy of Ausveld was generally reasonable, and a few flaws were immediately apparent. Although Victor has not yet had time to investigate the distribution of biological resources in the Duchy of Ausvid, according to the terrain trend displayed in the sand table, he has a preliminary plan for the future planning of the Dukedom.

He enclosed more than 5,000 acres of land on the outskirts of the Falgon Forest in the south-central part of the Duchy as a holiday estate for Catherine's mother and daughter. Then, he went to the field to plan the overall layout of the estate, still in the form of a sand table for architects and craftsmen to observe. As for the detailed design of the house and villa, it can be postponed, just use a few simple wooden models to decorate the sand table.

The preliminary work was over, and Victor began to work on the design of the amusement park.

The children of high-ranking female knights awaken their fighting spirit in their mother's womb, and they are natural trainee knights. Rides like slides, merry-go-rounds, trampolines, swings, etc., are too childish for the little knight to satisfy His Royal Highness Randall's precious daughter.

Therefore, Victor designed a theme amusement park, based on several heroic adventure stories as a blueprint, combined with exploration, maze, puzzle solving, reasoning, treasure hunting, hunting, traps, safety huts, secret gardens and other factors, conceived several sets of customs clearance games.

The eldest princess and the younger king are very active in their ideas, but as the siblings become more involved, Victor finds it more difficult and even risky to beat the game. For example, during a game session, Roland suggested that the player shoot a brown bear or other beast, and Edward and Anna nodded their heads in support.

Holy damn it, is this still a playground for young children?

Victor rejected all the projects designed by the Auguste sisters with a black face, and the majesty of the eldest princess Roland took out the "teacher" did not work, and finally was able to compromise with Victor, promising not to increase the difficulty of the game, but only asking to continue to participate in the plot design of the game.

Roland is indeed an expert in this regard.

Edward and Anna sneak into Victor's studio with two hares when no one is around, and ask the guardian to design an amusement park for them. Of course, it is for the sake of their children, King and Queen of Cambys, who are about to enter the palace of marriage, that there is no need for an amusement park.

Victor accepted the gift and said with a smile that when they had a child, they would definitely build an amusement park for him or her, in the Centaur Hills.

That was 25 years later.

Anna is a noblewoman of strong blood, and she and Edward's heirs belong to the House of York, and also have the inheritance rights of the Branstaid family, except for the throne of Cambys.

Disappointed, the little king August is gone, but designing an amusement park is more fun than playing an amusement park yourself. This can better satisfy a person's sense of achievement, as if standing in the perspective of the gods, fighting wits and courage with the gamer.

Edward's attention was soon drawn to the playground-themed design, racking his brains to add the joy he wanted to play for his future sister.

When it comes to his passion and talent for games, Victor is ten streets away from the Roland siblings, and as long as they don't design playgrounds for themselves, all kinds of fun ideas emerge one after another, and they come up with many constructive solutions, which make Victor eye-opening and breathtaking. In contrast, the playability of his original plan can only be described as dry.

Victor and Edward met in Kiteburg, but at that time the prince was just a little kid who wiped his nose and asked Caterina to help, and he could still remember the little baron there. This time the relationship between the two sides has taken a step further, and at least the little king has begun to worship the wisdom and strength of His Highness Randall.

During the conversation, he told Victor that he did not like to be with the court ministers, and that they always did everything possible to develop his political talents. He hoped that Uncle Williams would always be conscientious in taking care of the affairs of the Kingdom of Gambis, but that was not possible.

When Williams feels that the time is ripe, he will storm the gold field, whether he succeeds or not, he will no longer take matters into his own hands on state affairs, either to be a guardian of the freedom of time, or to return to the origin of the world.

Actually, August didn't hate politics, they just had too many interests and were full of curiosity about different lives. As long as they are interested in a certain field, they can show talents that are difficult for ordinary people to match, including political strategy. A passion for worldly life helped them to become the Golden Knight, while the suppression of a free nature would cost the Augustes.

Victor thinks that little Edward is a sincere man, as he did before he became a politician.

Ten days later, Kite Castle sent men to urge Edward, Anna, and Roland to return to the palace, including Victor. The visitor turned out to be the regent Williams.

With five days to go before the king's wedding celebration, Victor's work was largely done. He packed up his drawings and boarded the regent's carriage.

The horse-drawn carriage pulled by the dragon drove at high speed on the unobstructed road, and the scenery outside the window quickly recedered. Williams sat at the back of the carriage and said with a smile on his face:

"Victor, the sand table you have made is a treasure, and the Marquis of Goron is full of praise for it, and Catherine regards it as a treasure. I prefer the playground you designed, though. ”

"It was actually the work of His Highness Roland and His Majesty Edward, I just had an idea...... The sandbox is just an idea. Victor withdrew his gaze from the window and smiled modestly.

"The most precious thing is the brilliant idea. Williams sighed with emotion, and then said, "For example, your idea about a giant brick kiln is worth 5 million gold soles." ”

Faced with the regent's temptation, Victor did not deny it, and said with a smile: "You have to add iron bricks, it is worth 5 million gold soles." And the idea of iron bricks was not something I came up with. ”

Williams thought for a moment, thinking that in front of Victor, there was no need to detour, and asked frankly: "Victor, I want to ask you to satisfy my curiosity...... Is there a better brick or a giant brick kiln with a higher capacity in the Centaur Hills, and what is the purpose of your iron brick feast?"

Victor asked rhetorically: "Your Highness, if Auguste's craftsmen improve the iron brick process, make it cheaper to manufacture, better quality, and the output of the giant brick kiln is higher, are you sure that you will monopolize the fruits of the family craftsmen?

"...... this. Williams thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "The Kingdom of Gombis can't withstand the pressure of monopolizing the iron bricks, so I don't know what I'm going to get in exchange...... But Auguste will certainly share the process of making the new iron bricks with his descendants. ”

Victor smiled calmly: "Shared talents can bear the pressure from all sides, this is our original intention to dedicate iron bricks and giant brick kilns to the Kite Castle to the Grand Lord of Gombis...... Now I don't know what to exchange for the new process of iron bricks, which means that we can exchange it for what we want in the future. ”

"The essence of the iron brick feast is a solution. ”

"Solution?"

Victor nodded, his eyes became deep, and he said in a deep voice: "The kingdoms have invented new technologies with strategic value, we can refer to the way of the iron brick feast, and propose to them to trade and buy, not limited to money, but we can't refuse money transactions. ”

Williams frowned, his fingers tapped on the tabletop, and finally couldn't help but ask, "It shouldn't be that simple, right...... I guess you might have something to ask for in the Knights of Radiance?"

Can I tell you that I am ready to dominate the financial system of the Golden Regiment?

"Your Highness is not wrong in saying this...... Victor bowed slightly, looked at him with a smile and said, "However, it is your blockade of the stone supply of the Centaur Hills that forces us to develop iron bricks that can replace stone. ”

Williams said with an unchanging face, "But since Anna and Edward made a marriage contract, we have let go of the stone trade in the Centaur Hills. In fact, in order to supply the building stone for the three major fortresses, the Kite Castle has invested millions of gold soles, and has done its best. As for the stone materials for the construction of Rose Harbor, you don't have the money to buy them yourself...... You can't ask the Kite Castle to pay for it, can it?"

Victor shook his head and smiled, and said, "At that time, we had already invented iron bricks...... It's a pity that the iron bricks need to be mixed with one percent of iron powder, and all the rusted iron tools in the ruven hilly warehouses of the centaurs are ground into powder, which is enough to build 8 ordinary castles. The existing iron bricks are not universal, and we need more funds to buy iron materials...... Neville, the largest seller of iron ore, has a good relationship with Centaur Hill, but they are the Kingdom of Beituo after all. And we are the kingdom of Nantuo...... On the issue of iron bricks, whether we can meet the demands of the Neville Kingdom or not, the Knights of Radiance will incite the lords of Sassan, Dord, Seuss, and even the United Kingdom of Borui to unite and put pressure on us. Then, the Knights of Radiance intervened. Invisibly, this strengthens the influence of the Knights of Radiance. ”

"As the kingdom of Nantuo, if we Gambis want to take the lead in crossing the south to the south, then we can't boost the prestige of the Radiant Knights. Therefore, we would rather use the feast of iron bricks to enhance the prestige of Patriarch Tamor in the church. Because he was the clerical leader of the church who presided over the southern expansion strategy. ”

Bishop Pero of the Diocese of Centaur Hills was a student of the Pope, but Pope Clement sought a balance between the Church's strategy of expanding north and south, and Sylvia and Victor exacerbated the antagonism between the Tamor faction and the Radiant Knights through the feast of iron bricks, which in turn helped the Clement faction.

Williams thought about it and laughed: "Testil sent a silver paladin to Blinor City, Tamor has successfully handled the iron brick deal, the Radiant Knights have not done anything, if the Northern Extension Kingdom has advanced technology, Tamor can use the Iron Brick Feast to ask them to settle the dispute with our Southern Extension Kingdom...... Haha, I see. It's a really good move. ”

Victor smiled silently, and his eyes looked out the window again, and the outline of Blinor City had come into his eyes.
