Durag is directing his soldiers to clean up the ruined fortress.

Everywhere in the open space of the castle, there was a faint smell of urine in the dry and cold air of winter, and many of the walls were also left with obvious urine stains, which made people disgusted to see, and Durag began to strictly prohibit open defecation, and asked the soldiers to bury the stolen goods, and tried to keep the fortress tidy.

There are toilets in the castle, and the stone toilet leads directly to the sewer below the castle, and the flowing water will wash away the excrement, which is very convenient, but the soldiers who come from civilian backgrounds still have a bad habit of defecating in the open, and Durag understands this very well, and does not criticize it too much.

The farmers of Faeron were not in the habit of applying manure, and large coastal cities such as Waterdeep, Neverwinter, and Susar, the capital of Cormier, had relatively developed sewers to use, but many smaller towns did not have sewers at all.

Even in large cities with sewers, sewers are simply not possible to spread all over every residence, the aristocratic and commercial districts probably have a complete sewer system, the more sophisticated civilians can only use wooden toilets, and every morning the excrement is handed over to the paid dung collectors to dispose of, and more people can only be dumped into the open dung pits in the block or even directly dumped on the street, so the cities of this generation are actually stench, and the bad habits of the soldiers are also understandable.

The soldiers cleaned the atrium of grass, broken stone bricks, and collapsed wooden beams of buildings, and the dilapidated market houses were restored, freshly cut timber, pine resin, and iron nails were brought in from nearby towns, and carpenters and blacksmiths were sent by nearby lords to repair ruined buildings, and warehouses and markets were refurbished and prepared for trade.

Durag looked thoughtfully at the busy crowd in the atrium, according to the results of the negotiation with the barbarian chief named Link, the so-called Rock Ground Chamber of Commerce will integrate all the commodities of the entire Rock Land, the Chamber of Commerce will open a trade house here, directly sell bulk goods such as cashmere, pine nuts, fungus, animal skins and animal meat, and precious medicinal materials, spices, magic materials, and frog oil will be sold through regular auctions, and the Chamber of Commerce will pay taxes to Dangerous Rock Fort at the legal rate of Cormier, Link also promised to completely restore the trade routes of the Rock Land in the future, so that Dangerous Rock Fort will inherit the status of the destroyed Tifanton City。

The former city of Tifanton was the trading center of Cormier's north, along the Moon Sea Highway, the goods of the Moon Sea controlled by the Santarin Society reached Tifanton through the valley, and the goods of the Kingdom of Sambia could also cross the Thundering Peak along the road to the northern town of Cormier, Arabe City, and then along the King's Road north to Tifanton, merchants gathered in Tifanton City, bought and sold, and the trade route extended west to the Rock Land, and the Rock Land went west, through a series of towns, you can reach the Baldur's Gate in the north of the Sword Sea.

The current Fort of Danger Rock can only hope to attract the merchants and nobles of Cormier's own country to trade, the rout of the orcs in the countryside, the hostile country lords, and the private checkpoints that indiscriminately collect money, all of which hinder the development of trade, but judging from Tivanton's past achievements, Fort Danger still has some hope of developing into a major trading town.

Durag's reverie was interrupted by the whispers of his attendant, and Dulag, reminded by his attendant, took out his gold pocket watch, checked the time, and came to the small group of people gathered in the atrium, called Link, who was chattering about something, and nodded heavily at Link.

Link smiled apologetically at the nobles and merchants around him, and followed Durag into the castle's inner fort.

The castle is not only cold and damp, cramped, lack of light, but also exudes a smell of decay that has been through the vicissitudes of life, and living in such a castle for a long time will not only suffer from diseases such as arthritis, but also become more and more gloomy.

Link followed Durag through the gloomy castle, and after a while he was taken to a large hall, the castle could not have wide windows for defensive purposes, so it was generally lacking in light and very dark, but this hall was very bright, dozens of mutton fat candles mixed with spices emitted heat on several silver candlesticks, the fruit wood in the fireplace was also crackling and burning, the copper table lamp with an inextinguishable flame was placed on the coffee table next to the main seat, and the brightly colored flags hung from the second floor all the way to the ground, one was the flag of the Purple Dragon Legion, and the other was the flag of the Rose Sword and Shield。

The Iron Regent Alousel looked boredly at Link and interrupted Link's salute with a wave of his hand, while Durag bowed respectfully and stepped back, closing the oak door to the hall.

Link peeked at the bright figure in civilian clothes on the main seat, the white skin barely saw the pores, not at all as rough as the other women of the Jondas race, the golden sand-like curly blonde hair hung down like a waterfall, shining under the illumination of the magic lamp, the lake-blue eyes exuded a dazzling light, the golden sword eyebrows made the regent exude a bit heroic, the high nose bridge and the full pale pink lips looked very delicate, and the tall figure gave Link a lot of pressure even when he sat in the seat.

"Your Highness, Prince Revaran has reassured that the official announcement is about to be issued, and the war between the Shadowlings and the Cormiers is over. Link said with a bow.

The regent nodded, after the news of the resumption of the rock trade spread, he personally took a small number of escorts to the north to the dangerous rock fort to everyone's surprise, claiming to inspect the dangerous rock fort and restart the rock trade in order to improve the people's livelihood, since the defeat of Tivanton, the northern nobles of Cormier have almost completely rebelled, refused to obey their orders, and confronted Revaran on their own, and the south is also because of the large royal territory and the deterrence of the Purple Dragon Legion, so they barely maintain the status quo, and the northern nobles even proposed to convene a council to remove themselves from the title of regent and deprive themselves of the position of the head of the Purple Dragon Legion。

They thought I had escaped here to avoid all this, didn't they know that I never did?" The Regent was almost amused, and looked at Link, who was looking at him dumbfounded, and the Regent nodded, "Then go according to the plan, my Lord Earl of Iwadi." ”

Link looked at the smiling steel regent, and secretly swallowed his saliva and retreated.

"Do you really believe him?" a graceful figure stepped out from behind the velvet curtains, but it was the new chief mage, Kaladenay.

"He's my lucky star, he was originally here to make a pretense, but there was a major change on the side of the Shadow City, Kelburn Black Rod led the team into the Shadow City, and the plan to destroy the Mithor Core to make the Shadow City fall failed, but the fierce battle accidentally destroyed the Karlser Stone that the Shadow People used to melt the Supreme Glacier, everyone thought that the Shadow People would retaliate on a large scale, but this Link brought me the news of the top level of the Shadow People, the Shadow People plan to stop the war and jointly exterminate the Demon Kui of Felin, God is on my side!"

"The Shaders destroyed Tifanton, and Revaran nearly killed the Teacher, who is now unable to use magic!" Karadena said in exasperation.

"I promise to make them pay when I'm done putting the kingdom in order. The Steel Regency assured.

Sighing, Kaladenay said: "The mercenaries of Sambia's "Red Regiment" have returned from the Dragon Coast and can arrive at the scheduled time, fifteen hundred people, plus the two thousand orc mercenaries promised by you, the Earl of the Rockland, Link, this side of the north is probably enough. ”

"yes, but I'll have to kill all the rebel nobles and soldiers before. The Steel Regent muttered.
