Chapter III: Development

Riley was a little hesitant, normal people heard that witches avoided it, how could anyone come to test it in person?

The town of Ravenwood had no nobles before the arrival of the prince, but it did not prevent her from hearing about the deeds of some nobles, and she would always do things that ordinary people did not do. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Or maybe the prince just wants to be convicted.

Riley hesitated for a moment, but slowly stretched out his hands, no matter what his thoughts were at the moment, she had accepted the result of being burned at the stake.

Riley rested his hands on the wound, and soon Leon felt a trace of warmth flowing through his arm, which was a strange feeling, and the warm current seemed to follow the meridians and slowly converge.

When it was over, Leon found that his arm was completely healed, leaving no scars.

"It's amazing, more amazing than lasers. Leon excitedly said the words that came to his mind. In the past, there was a scientific attitude, but now the situation proves that the continent of Svano is a magical world, where there are things that cannot be explained by earth science.

"What light?" Riley asked cautiously. And the York knight on the side was still immersed in this magical scene, and he didn't pay attention to Leon's words at all.

For such a result, Leon was surprisingly satisfied. To paraphrase a famous saying, no matter whether a black cat or a white cat catches a mouse, Riley is indeed a witch, but this does not prevent her from becoming an honest and kind person, and even a talent who can make outstanding contributions.

Ravenwood doesn't have a qualified doctor, and he usually relies on his previous experience to get some herbs for any injuries. The world in which he lives does not have antibiotics and other medicines from the earth, nor advanced medical equipment, is powerless in the face of many injuries. Now that he wants to gradually develop the town, talents in all aspects are scarce, and Riley's expertise in treatment is nothing more than a huge help to the development.

"Riley, what else would you do besides this ability?" Leon wanted to see more possibilities in her, such as mastering the power of the elements.

She shook her head, unexpectedly discovering that she had become a witch, hiding abilities at all times, and even if she had other abilities, she didn't have the time and guts to explore.

"Miss Riley, you're free. Leon said with a smile, his current abilities already satisfying him.

"Freedom?" Riley couldn't react, obviously he was still a death row prisoner a moment ago, why would he say that he was free.

"I'll explain this to you slowly, it's better to leave this hellish place first. "Prince Lyon doesn't want to stay here for a moment, outside is the residential area, the feces and urine are lying on the side of the road, I haven't felt anything here for more than a year, but today I feel like falling into a pit, it seems that the world in my mind affects not only the mind, but also the sense of smell.

"Your Highness, if you let her go, what will those people do?" the Knights of York now had a different opinion of her, and there were also witches who saved people. Just letting people go will cause panic among the villagers.

"You can tell them that the prisoner has been executed, and they don't have to see the execution scene to believe it. "Prince Leon does not dare to tell the truth at this stage, if the residents hear the news of his release, I am afraid that they will think that the prince has been bewitched, and then flee one after another, then there will be no one to build the town in the future.

In order not to attract attention, Leon asked the knight of York to come back at night to bring Riley back to the castle, her identity had been revealed, and she was sure that she could not return to the village. Plus he needs her help for his future plans.

Leon returned to the castle first, and went to the administrative office, which he had not been to for a long time.

Originally a storage room, it was a small storage room with only a small window on the wall, and even though it was daytime, it needed to light a candle to illuminate the room.

The furnishings of the room were simple, a table with a chair, and a bookshelf with a few parchment scrolls on it, which was the administrative hall of a town, and Leon suddenly felt like a failure.

No matter what happened in the past, from today onwards, he has to plan the development of the town well.

Ravenwood, located in the northwest of the kingdom, is a border town, but does not share a border with any country.

To the north of the town are endless mountains, covered with snow all year round, and no one knows what is behind the mountains, and it is estimated that there are endless mountains.

The mountains are of little benefit to Lyon, as the terrain is sparsely vegetated and does not allow for the production of cash crops. There is no country to the north, and it can barely be regarded as a wall in several other directions.

To the east and south was relatively flat land, but the soil quality was not one of the most barren compared to the rest of the kingdom, and there were not enough people to cultivate and cultivate it, which is the current wasteland.

To the west is a gentle hilly area with abundant forests. This resource is currently the only pillar industry in the town.

Lyons came to the town and presided over the construction of a wharf to transport timber to the towns downstream by water, which was relatively low, but it was the only thing the town could get its hands on.

Leon has a headache, it's not the kind of pain you get up in the morning, it's the result of too much stress. If you want to develop, you must have money and people. He turned the page of the financial volume, and last year's income was almost zero, and the income from the sale of timber was just enough to make up for all expenses. As an oppressed prince, he didn't have much money on him. The population is sparse, and the entire town plus several surrounding villages has a total of about 300 people, of which only about half are laborers.

Closing the parchment scroll, Leon felt that he had never been so helpless when he was in the court, and when he encountered difficulties, he gritted his teeth and passed, but now it is not so simple. But after thinking about it, he didn't defeat him after suffering for so many years, and this time he said that he would never give up lightly.

Leon closed his eyes and rummaged through the information about the Earth in his mind, and perhaps there was a good way to learn from it.

Commerce, this is a very common means, and with money the rest is easy to do.

Timber trading is currently the only trade, and the first city downstream of Ravenwood is the White Mist, named after the white fog that is shrouded for up to three months a year. It has always been sold to it, and it is cheaper to sell too far away, or even to lose money.

The other is tough strength, whether it is weapons and equipment or production capacity, as long as you are ahead of the opponent, you can be in an advantageous position, such as expanding production volume and production capacity through the Industrial Revolution, such as making gunpowder bombs or something, and leaving no piece of armor that can kill the enemy without injuring a single soldier.

Looking at the gunpowder, Leon realized that this is a weapon of mass destruction that can be made in the era of cold weapons, and it is estimated that the composition will not be too complicated, as long as the relevant formula is found.

In my mind, the part about the making of gunpowder is really miserable, and the mixture of sulfur and so-and-so, so-and-so can make gunpowder, which ......
