The season of water is the season of reproduction of fishmen, and the fishmen who have the ability to reproduce return to the shallow water to mate and spawn, and the fishmen who stay on the river beach are some old, weak, sick and disabled. They often do not respond to the provocation of the two-legged tin monsters.

Humans and fish-people are now in a truce, with only a small number of troops left in the frontline camps on the riverbank, and most of the soldiers returning to the towns to recuperate. But for the wharf builders, the intense and arduous work did not end.

Beginning in January of the Fire Season, Victor mobilized more than 18,000 young workers to build a 14-kilometer-long, 17-meter-high embankment on the river beach where the control gate is located over a period of 294 days. This project changed the topography of the banks of the Temperance Gate, and the fish-people no longer used this area as a gathering point for the river, clearing the way for the construction of the port town in the future.

In this year's rainy and snowy season, the water volume of the Jinshui River is bound to skyrocket. In order to prevent the surging river from collapsing and flooding the embankment, the York family successively dispatched more than 34,000 young and strong employees from the Renma Hills to rush to the control gate in batches to increase the height and width of the embankment before the rainy season came, tamp the soil, and repair the outside of the embankment with green bricks, so as to prevent the river from washing away the soil of the embankment and causing a collapse accident.

This embankment must withstand the test of the Jinshui River. At the same time, it is also testing the mobilization and construction capabilities and logistics organization system of the hills.

More than 50,000 young and strong employees, including logistics personnel, totaled nearly 80,000 people directly involved in the construction of the river embankment. This year's grain harvest and wheat planting in the Centaur Hills are still in order. The performance of the House of York was so stunned and amazed that even the lords of the House of York could not believe that they could do this.

In fact, the Centaur Hills, especially the Randall family, have accumulated a wealth of experience in centralized construction through the construction of water conservancy projects, streams and reservoirs, and the Southern Fort, and the promotion and implementation of the new farming and pastoral system have allowed the Centaur Hills to store huge amounts of food and supplies. Most importantly, the tenant system continued to disperse the new immigrants into small families and settle them in villages and farms, and these tenants were immediately able to engage in farming, animal husbandry and handicrafts, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of production activities in the hills.

The sun is slanting in the west, the surface of the Jinshui River is sparkling, on the embankment, the crowd is crowded, the noise is extraordinary, and the scene of tens of thousands of people sweating like rain is magnificent.

In the most luxurious room of the Temperance Gate Castle, Trisley leaned in a thin silk nightdress, leaning in front of the window, admiring the magnificent scenery below, the river breeze blowing up her slightly damp pale blonde hair, revealing the snow-white round shoulders of her graceful neck, and her expression was quiet and focused.

There was a slight knock in the door, and Tracey did not look back, but a faint flush appeared on her porcelain-like cheeks, which looked bright and charming, and her eyes were flustered and sweetly smiling, and then a pair of strong arms held her up by the waist, and her crystal pink lips were kissed. The familiar aura intoxicates Trisley and responds passionately to her lover's kiss.

The two kissed for a while, Victor hugged Trisley and walked to the sofa and sat down, pressed the petite and delicate Angry Wave Knight on his knees, held a snow jade slender foot and kneaded it, and teased: "Baby, have you taken a bath?"

Trisley's face turned crimson, she hummed softly, raised her moist light blue eyes to look at her lover's handsome face, and said shyly, "We are going to Peacelake Fort to attend Pastor Dane's celebratory dinner...... You are not allowed to do anything bad to me. ”

"How so? I came in through the door without climbing the window...... She must have personally invited Miss Trisley to the Peacelake Fort dinner. Victor smiled evilly and said, "Nicole is waiting for us......"

"Ah?!" Tracery rose from Victor's arms and got up from his arms, but heard in her ears:

"She's waiting for us in Rosetown. ”

"Badass...... I'll bite you to death. Trisley was ashamed and angry, her mouth leaned together and kissed Victor's pointed ear gently, and sighed: "I didn't expect that with a project of tens of thousands of people, Ni might be able to take care of it in an orderly and comfortable manner." ”

"Well, of course, don't look at who she is. Victor lifted his chin rather triumphantly.

"She's still my student......"

Trisley glanced at Victor and said angrily, "Sylvia entrusted you with the project, but you left the job to Nicole and Lilia, and you were idle all day long, not doing your job, and you were embarrassed to take Nicole's credit?"

"I didn't take credit for Nicole. I'm taking possession of her teacher...... And her teacher's hostess. ”

Trisley was ashamed and buried her head in Victor's arms, listening to him continue, "Nicole is very good, and that's because I trained it well...... I'm not doing my job, I've been doing what a lord is supposed to do. ”

Trisley looked up and asked curiously, "What should the lord do?"

"Give orders when necessary, and most of the time you should be cautious and leisurely......"

Victor shook his head, looked at Trisley with strange eyes, and smiled, "Baby, you're not interested in territorial affairs, why are you asking me for advice today?"

"I'm just asking...... Not to mention pulling down. Trisley pursed her lips and tilted her head coquettishly.

"My dear, I am too late to be glad that you would like to listen to my views and opinions...... How could they not tell you?"

Victor smiled slightly, and said softly: "The lord who does everything lacks self-confidence and does everything himself, but it will cause trouble and pressure to his people, stifle the initiative and creativity of his subordinates, and make them seek no merit but no fault...... A truly mature leader must know how to inspire the courage and fighting spirit in the hearts of the people, and stimulate their wisdom and talents......" paused, shook his head and sneered: "Spiritual encouragement cannot be achieved by saying a few impassioned words, it must be done by letting the people see the hope of the future and have the guarantee of survival and development." Establishing such a system is the lord's job. I've done just that. ”

"Tenants and mutual aid?"

"That's right. Victor nodded and said confidently: "Even if I leave the Randall Territory temporarily, the Randall family can function normally." So, I don't have to be on the construction site every day, giving orders...... I should have done something more important. ”

"What's the matter?" Trisley glanced at her lover with a seductive look in her eyes, and pressed her slender and well-proportioned legs together to grip the magical hand firmly.

Victor said half-sarcastically, half-seriously: "I need an heir now...... This seems to be more difficult than creating a system. ”

Trisley bit her pink lip, her tight and powerful legs relaxed slightly, her face flushed, and she asked in a thin voice, "Victor, do you love me?"

"Baby, of course I love you. Victor kissed Trisley's smooth and delicate face, feeling a little amused and a little proud, and finally a pulse of warmth.

Trisley asked, "How much love?"

Victor gasped when he saw Trisley's light blue eyes sparkle. This is an endless cycle and should be avoided as much as possible

"Baby, you're weird today, don't seem to be very confident, could it be that I'm getting more attractive?" he changed the subject in a narcissistic tone, and turned his head to look in the mirror, only to be held in the face by Trisley.

"In two months, Audrey will be back. ”

Victor was pleasantly surprised, "Really? That's great...... How many petty nobles did Audrey bring back from the Eastern Alliance, and how much can Sylvia give me?"

"I don't know. ”

Trisley let go of her hand and asked sullenly, "If she pursued you, would you accept it?"

"No, it won't. Victor shook his head and said with a wry smile: "She has a husband, children, and a family...... I always felt that it was not appropriate. ”

Trisley was silent for a while, her expression became complicated, and she said quietly, "Actually, I'm so conflicted...... I don't like to share you with others, but I know the difficulties faced by the High Knights...... If Fred and Audrey really love each other, they should be promoted to Knight of the Earth and Knight of the Raging Waves...... If this is the case, although they can be together, they will cut off the hope of being promoted to the Golden Knight, and their lifespan will become very short, and it is not in the interests of the family. She looked up at Victor and said, "If you refuse their courtship, they will raise a little lover of their own to ward off their loneliness." It's like Embither and Fred's mother...... She had left that highness to start her own family, and had an heir with the young husband she had raised. I heard that she was preparing to storm the Elemental Sea. ”

"Everyone has their own destiny and I can only respect my own choices. ”

Victor sighed and said indifferently: "In the York family, I chose you, Nicole, and Sylvia. If one day, I can only have offspring with the Golden Knight, and you don't have this condition, I can only pursue the female Golden Knight in the human kingdom...... As for whether they have a partner or not, I can't care so much about it. I must leave my bloodline, and the business I started cannot be without an heir. ”

"No matter how far I can go in the future, my feelings for you will always remain the same, and I don't want you or Nicole to rush into the gold realm. Victor said.

Trisley tilted her head and asked with interest, "And me, Nicole, and Sylvia, who do you like the most?"

Victor's head suddenly became as big as a fight, and while using the secret technique of the court, he asked rhetorically, "Me and Sylvia, who do you like more?"

"Sylvia, of course!"

Trisley's pale blue eyes were like a pool of spring water, and she smiled and fell into Victor's arms.

Victor was startled and turned his head to see Sylvia staring at him with her hands on her chest in the dark corner of the room.

"Honey, why are you here?" Victor was surprised, delighted, and embarrassed, and tried to pull his hand out of Trisley's nightdress, but the Angry Waves knight wrenched her legs so that he couldn't break free for a while.

Sylvia walked up to Victor in a graceful manner, stretched out her smooth white fingers, hooked his chin, leaned over and pecked him lightly on the lips, pushed Trisley, and said angrily, "Get out of the way! My man and I only see each other once in two months, and you are tired of being together every day, what are you doing on him?"

"How can we be together every day......" Trisley pursed her lips and sat down obediently next to her.

Sylvia sat down on the other side of Victor, raised her willow eyebrows, and asked with a smile, "Was it an accident, did it scare you?"

Victor pinched a cold sweat in his heart, and said angrily: "I don't dare to sneak up behind Nicole, for fear that she will suddenly give me a ruthless ...... Don't make that joke next time, okay?"

Sylvia lowered her eyebrows and said aggrievedly, "Yes, my lord." Then he sneered and winked mischievously, "If anyone dares to sneak near you, you can give her a hard beating." ”

Victor touched his nose and said depressedly: "This situation ...... I think my best bet is to run for my life right away......"

"Wise decision. Sylvia nodded in agreement, her eyes flashing, as if teasing: Do you give me a ruthless trick? Run, can you run away? If you are not convinced, you will be promoted quickly...... I'm still waiting to give you an heir.

The eyes can speak, referring to what Sylvia is now. Faced with this situation, Victor generally responds with practical actions. He reached out and grabbed Sylvia's thin waist and took her into his arms, and the two of them hugged each other softly, and kept warm for a moment.

"Honey, why did you sneak over here, did something happen?" asked Victor softly, letting go of his hand.

Sylvia opened her eyes and said with a bowed jaw: "The Diocese of Randall has produced a fifth-order priest, and of course the York family should come forward to congratulate him." It's just that it's not convenient for me to disclose my identity...... You know why. ”

Victor shook his head decisively and said in a deep voice, "I don't know. ”

Sylvia stared at Victor's dark and deep eyes for a moment, and said, "Bishop Pero also thinks that you don't know the actual situation in the Holy See, but Dane has gone too far. ”

She raised her hand to comb her messy hair, and continued: "The scholar-pastors of the Clement lineage are studying new methods of proselytizing and relieving according to the characteristics of the tenant system...... Liberal arts were a move for Clement, but they had not yet dealt with a specific plan for the relief of tenant believers...... You have to see the problem before you can solve it. You got ahead of the Holy See and got Dane to propose and form a mutual aid society...... Archbishop Ther learned of the Mutual Aid and immediately reported it to Patriarch Tamor. Tamor and Friedus summoned Dane back to the Holy See to report on his duties, which caught Clement off guard...... They praised Reverend Dane in the College of Cardinals, placing all the credit for the Mutual Aid on him alone, in order to create the illusion of a split in the Pope's line. You must know that the priests of the Pope's line are not all Clement's students, but also the disciples of Clement's classmates and friends. Those people were very unhappy that the Pope had secretly instructed his disciples to monopolize the merits by hiding from them. Clement would not tolerate the split of his faction, and it was inevitable that Dane would be hidden. ”

"Archbishop Tse originally wanted to send someone to the Diocese of Randall to congratulate Dane on his promotion to a senior priest, but was blocked by Perot. ”

"Although we are now descendants of the Gambis, we also need to maintain basic independence. In terms of theology, I can't be at the mercy of Brinoll Cathedral. The clergy of the Clement lineage is the force I must unite. So, I can only come quietly and congratulate Dane on his promotion to high priesthood. ”

"Isn't that what you want?" asked Sylvia faintly.

Victor raised his head alertly, frowned, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Meaning, Clement sees through your thoughts. Sylvia smiled softly, and her red lips opened lightly: "Are you worried that Clement will use his main power in the Neville Kingdom?" ”
