"We Vikings have always been known for their stubbornness, and it is difficult to change both our attitude towards life and our attitude towards our enemies. Victoria turned her head to look at the lake on one side.

"It's like a stubborn bull that has a hard time changing direction without hitting its head and breaking the bloodstream. But now there is a stone pillar, which is very hard, but it can make it realize the benefits of change, which is actually a good lesson for the bull. ”

I was surprised that Princess Victoria would say this, Green was silent for a while, is this the difference between the superior and the common people?

"Alright, let's not talk about that!" Victoria turned to Green and smiled slightly, "Tell me about your cement." If I'm going to buy a lot of this cement, I don't know how much you can supply? ”

"Your Highness needs a lot of cement?" Greene was a little surprised.

The king's castle itself is made of stone, so it doesn't have to be vulnerable to dragon damage like ordinary wooden houses. If it is to build roads, then for the Vikings living in the archipelago, there is actually not so much urgency, because the means of transportation they often use is boats.

"I'm going to set up a permanent bazaar on Kings Island, unlike the current one, which only happens once a month. This will not only facilitate the daily transactions of the people, but also stimulate the development of business and obtain more tax ......"

"Shopping Street?" after listening to Princess Victoria's explanation, Green immediately understood.

"Eun, your word is very good, it is a commercial street. Victoria looked at Green and blinked, then said, "Not only that, but with the prosperity of this shopping street, we can also expand this area more and more, and then attract more people to live here, and then our kingdom of Navia can also establish a city of its own." ”

Looking at the beautiful girl with sparkling eyes in front of him, Green's heart couldn't help but slow down for half a beat, he touched his nose and turned his head away, "There should be no problem with the supply! ”

"How big is it?"

"The area can't be too small, and it's better to stay away from residential areas because we need to domesticate a large number of dragons. ”

"I remember you said you needed marble (limestone) to make cement, right?" Victoria straightened her windswept short hair and put it behind her ear.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"There is an uninhabited stone island in the sea not far south of Kings Island, and this island is mostly marble stones, where you can build your cement factory. ”

Hearing Princess Victoria's words, Green was suddenly pleasantly surprised, and before he could thank him, he heard Her Royal Highness continue, "But you need to supply thirty ships of cement from King Island free of charge. ”

"No problem!" Green patted his chest without even thinking about it, and there was nothing cheaper than that for thirty boatloads of cement to exchange for an island.

Perhaps Grimm agreed too quickly, Princess Victoria thought for a moment and said, "Also, you must pay a certain amount of business tax to Kings Island. ”

"This... There should be no problem either. ”

"Hehe, you don't have to be so embarrassed! Green, now everyone knows you're going to get rich. After saying that, Princess Victoria winked playfully.

"Uh..."I didn't expect Her Royal Highness the princess to have such a lively side, and Green was stunned for a moment.

......

"Tomorrow's third game, I'm going to ask you to improvise a story or a poem. ”

Biwencai?

Hearing that Her Royal Highness the princess suddenly changed the topic and talked about the competition, Green was stunned at first and then a little stunned, if it was an impromptu competition, then why did Her Highness tell himself now.

Looking at the elegant figure in a long white dress who had turned away, Green scratched his head: Is this considered cheating?

Perhaps guessing what Green would think, Princess Victoria, who had already walked into the mist, waved her hand at Green without looking back, and shouted in a coquettish voice, "I'm the referee!

＊＊＊＊

The sun is rising.

Today's Pelcel Gladiatorial Arena is more lively than ever, because all the Vikings know that the final of the pro-election meeting will be held today.

There was a crowd of people, and even the last row of seats, which had not been cared for before, was now crowded with standing Vikings.

Lagerlov, dressed as a bard, helped himself with his fur hat with swan feathers, took the Nikohba in his hand, and slowly walked up to the commentary platform.

Waving at the cheering audience, he said in his magnetic voice, "We Vikings have always had a proverb: 'The pen is sharper than the sword'. A vivid story can make us no longer bored in the long cold winter, and a beautiful poem can rekindle our hope for life. We love poetry and stories as much as we love this deep blue sea. ”

"We record our history with poetry and stories, we record our lives. Every year in the cold winter, our favorite thing is to listen to the stories of our fathers in the warmth of our house. ”

"The meaning of poetry and stories is spiritual food for us Vikings, so Princess Victoria decided to make vivid stories and poems the final event: the three finalists will each have a candle time to tell a new story or poem, and the one who gets the loudest cheers and applause will be the ultimate winner today. ”

"Then let's ...... below."

"Wait!" Lagerlöf was about to continue, when a voice interrupted him rudely.

Rael stepped forward and said, "Could it be that the order of appearances has already been decided?"

Lagerlöf nodded quizzically.

"It's not fair!" Rael said, turning to the crowd behind him, "The first one didn't have much time to think, and the next two obviously had more time. ”

"Ah, indeed!"

"The first warrior to play was too bad!"

......

Hearing the crowd talking in support of him, Rael shouted, "This time we have to draw lots to determine the order!"

"yes, let's draw lots!"

......

Listening to the wave after wave of the audience's cries, Rael was very satisfied with the effect of his incitement.

The final order of the matches is determined by the draw.

It's just that when Rael finished drawing the lot, looking at the red lottery in his hand, his face couldn't be darker anymore.

Because he is number one.

Lagerlöf stood aside very gracefully, and let the expressionless Rael stand in front of the horn, he remembered the order arranged before, and couldn't help but laugh a little in his heart: because the first place is not Rael, is this considered smart but mistaken by cleverness?

Standing in front of the horn, Rael's mind was blank, usually he was not interested in stories and poems at all, and now let him improvise one, he simply couldn't think of it.

Looking at the slightly curled lips of the damn civilian on the side, Rael was sure that he must be laughing at himself, should he give up the beautiful Princess Victoria to such a lowly person?

Rael clenched his fists in hatred, and when he went back this time, he must kill his nasty black dragon.

That's right, Black Dragon!

Why don't I make up a story with this black dragon?

Rael's inspiration struck him and he immediately thought of a story.
