Chapter 110: Territory Construction (5)
For the residents of Twilight, this may be the most unforgettable night of their lives.
Although Yulian gave them enough compensation, most of these residents were still a little reluctant when they left the Twilight Forest, even if the other party had already stated that they could go back to live their lives the next day, but these townspeople still doubted the credibility of their lord's words. This is not because they are disgusted with the nobility themselves - in fact, in such a small village, the reverence for the power of the nobles has long been deeply dissolved in their bones, but after all, it was once their own property, and it is inevitable that these people will feel uneasy. Because of this, many of them did not leave the Twilight Forest, but watched the forest and the dark castle in the depths near the entrance, as if they could see something.
And what happened next made everyone feel incomprehensible and frightened.
A shining white light tore through the darkness, the dazzling brilliance almost blinded everyone's eyes, like a thunderous roar spread in the forest, the earth trembled, mixed with the roar and roar of the storm, although the distance was far away, but all this in front of them still made everyone tremble, they even mistakenly thought that the end of the world was coming, and this continent was about to fall apart?
This situation lasted for half a night before it fell silent again, and those people were also very anxious, they were already worried about their houses, and they didn't know what their town had become now, although some young people with anxious surnames immediately wanted to run back to see what was going on, but they were stopped by Judy and others who were guarding the intersection. Of course, they weren't going to give up so easily, but the natural barrier that shrouded the entire twilight forest naturally had a way for these young people to stop their movements by spending their energy in unnecessary places. So in desperation, everyone could only wander anxiously outside the forest, waiting for the dawn to come.
And when the first rays of dawn appeared on the horizon, Judy and the others turned away, and seeing their disappearance, the townspeople no longer hesitated, and immediately re-entered the forest, walking towards their remembered home.
The closer they got to Twilight, the more nervous they became, and they looked at each other uneasily, their faces pale, and their lips clenched. In fact, they'd been talking about what was going on here since the night before, but almost all of them didn't expect much from it, for they were so impressed by the terrible roar and tremors that they couldn't imagine what was going on here with the imagination of the townspeople. Their only reasonable explanation for this is probably the statement that the lord asked himself and the others to leave in order to blow up the entire town. And in the minds of many people, the devastated town, full of ruins and wreckage, has appeared in their minds. Even the old mayor walked through the crowd with his mouth closed and pale, although he had indeed heard from the young lord about rebuilding the town, and had been convinced, but now he was a little less sure. It's no wonder that such a big movement, no matter how you look at it, is not just an ordinary "reconstruction".
And at this moment, the old mayor suddenly found that the people in front of him had stopped, and they gathered together, looking forward blankly, and there was no intention of continuing to move forward at all.
What happened?
Seeing this scene, the old mayor's heart sank, and he naturally knew that he was about to arrive in Twilight Town, and why did these people stop? Presumably they had already seen Twilight Town...... So what has become of this town now?
Thinking of this, the old mayor couldn't help but sigh, he gritted his teeth, and finally staggered forward.
"What's going on? Why didn't you move?"
Pushing the crowd away, the old mayor asked in a low voice, but instead of answering his inquiry, the townsfolk looked ahead with wide eyes. To the old mayor's surprise, he frowned, followed the townspeople's gaze, and then stood there in astonishment, unable to speak.
In front of them, the former town has completely disappeared, but there is no such tragic scene as everyone imagined, on the contrary, what appears in front of everyone now is a tall and magnificent city. The dark black walls spread out in front of them, and the gates, large enough to accommodate three carriages side by side, opened to them in front of them, and the silver-white gates made of metal opened to both sides, and the sunlight could clearly see the reliefs carved on them with winged women's surnames. The gravel paved road was smooth and smooth, and looking inward, you could faintly see the silhouettes of the houses and trees - at this moment, in the sunlight, it was so bright, beautiful and serene.
"What the hell is this ..............."
Rao is an old townman, and he thinks he has experienced a lot of storms, but he has never seen such a strange sight, not only him, but even the other townspeople can't believe their eyes, they even think that they may be dreaming - this is not a scene that should appear in any reality.
It wasn't until a slender, slender figure appeared at the city gate that everyone was reawakened from shock and confusion.
"Welcome back to your city. ”
Ofaril walked slowly out of the gate with a stack of papers in her arms, and when they heard her voice, everyone was stunned, and then the old mayor strode forward.
"Miss O'Fariel, may I ask what ............... this?"
"This is Valhalla, the city of the Immortal, built by Lord Lord on the basis of Twilight, and this will be your home from now on. ”
At this, Ofariel paused, and she looked at the expressions of the townsfolk in front of her, and laughed inwardly. In fact, the expression of Her Royal Highness the princess when she saw the city before was not much different from them, and now that she saw someone following in her footsteps, she naturally couldn't help but be a little happy.
"Then, please come with me. ”
Hearing this, where did the townsfolk dare to say anything, in fact, their brains have not reacted to what is going on so far, so after hearing Ofariel's words, almost a large part of the people followed her completely instinctively, and walked into the city numbly.
And the scenery inside once again shocked these townspeople. You know, the original Twilight Town was just a small village at the foot of the mountain. But now it is different, all kinds of beautiful houses are arranged in a patchwork, the wide streets are lined with green trees and beautiful stone sculptures, and the clear spring water flowing from the fountains makes a loud noise, continuing the ditches on both sides of the road to all sides, bringing a touch of coolness to every corner of the city. The most striking thing is the lighthouse in the central square, which has been completely transformed into a new style. On top of the ornate and intricate towers and pointed towers, a bright and dazzling blue flame slowly burns in them, bringing a touch of scenery to the whole city.
The layout of the town has changed completely, and according to Yuren's request, the current Valhalla is divided into two parts, one of which is close to the Twilight Castle, and the part that starts from the halfway point of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain is the upper city, and the part below the foot of the mountain is the lower city. It can accommodate 1,800 inhabitants in total. As for the former residents of Twilight, they will be given a property in Uptown to live in. The lower part of the city is used to house the refugees, although so, the buildings in the lower town are just as beautiful, maybe not as beautiful as the upper town, but they also have their own unique charm.
It has to be said that this source conversion device is really a very perverted thing, it not only completely replicates the shape of the whole city, but even the interior decoration layout is fully displayed, of course, these decorations made of wood and stone may be a little different from the original city, but in the eyes of the townspeople who are used to living in these dilapidated cottages, it is already luxurious and cannot be attached.
It was for this reason that when the people who were immersed in the beauty of the city heard that Offariel would be offered a place to live in a family unit, almost all of them thought that they were not dreaming - after all, Julien had already given them thirty gold coins in compensation, and in the eyes of these honest and loyal townspeople, they were no longer in a position to ask for better treatment. But now, they will not only be compensated, but will even be given a luxurious residence of their own.
Holy grace is above, they are not dreaming!!
For a moment, the slaps came and went, and almost all the townspeople were using this oldest and most effective way to confirm that they were not hallucinating because of the exhaustion of staying up late............ But in the end, they got the unbelievable, but true, answer.
"Miss Ofariel, is this really what the lord meant?"
The old mayor looked at everything in front of him excitedly, and asked in disbelief, at this moment, the deep emotion in his heart for the disappearance of the town that had accompanied him for many years had already been diluted by the joy and surprise that followed, but the old mayor couldn't believe that this young lord was so generous, and actually gave them such a gift, which was far beyond the limit of his imagination!
"Of course, Mr. Mayor. ”
Offariel reached out and took out the document in her arms, and looked at it carefully, in fact, at the beginning, Ofariel was not without doubts about Yulian's generosity, but from her standpoint, it was obvious that it would help her lord to win the hearts of the people, so she didn't ask too much. Of course, even so, the rules that should be done must also be done well. According to the agreement, the townspeople will be given their own houses in the upper town as a family unit, and those who used to run shops and taverns in the town will also be given their own shops if they provide their own proof.
"So far, so good. ”
Yulian raised the glass in his hand and stared at the sunlight through the bright red wine, the bright sunlight penetrating the glass, refracting an intoxicating light within it.
"yes, everything is going well. ”
Ofaril looked up from her desk and glared at Yuren angrily.
"So, my lord, could you please go and relax in a place where I can't see it? ”
It is no wonder that Ofariel had such thoughts, although after the decree was issued, she was warmly welcomed and received by the townspeople, but there was no shortage of work, and in fact, Ofariel's work was not only not diminished, but even increased. After all, in the past, all she needed to do was to integrate the things in her territory, but now it is different, although the entire town is torn down and rebuilt, in fact, the workload is no different from the migration. And what makes Ofaril even more dissatisfied is that in the entire Twilight Forest, there are very few people in charge of internal affairs, and the old mayor has a few cronies to help him do things, but on his side, except for little Erin who can run up and down to help him carry some documents, he can't find half a person to use! The maids under Charlotte's jurisdiction were responsible for taking care of the affairs of the castle, and the spirit warriors led by Judy were meticulous in carrying out orders, but they could not count on them to help them in their affairs. So at the moment, Ofariel was almost dizzy from being tired, and even she was inevitably a little irritable in the face of the mountains of documents in front of her. Especially after seeing Yulian running into her study and drinking a little wine leisurely, Offariel felt that there was a killing intent in her heart that was gradually expanding, and she had no doubt that if this lord didn't leave her sight again, she would stab him with a kitchen knife!
However, although the danger was imminent, Yuren did not seem to be aware of it at all, and after hearing Ofaryl's complaints, he only shrugged his shoulders and lowered the wine glass in his hand.
"Again, it's very important to combine work and rest, Miss O'Faryl, why don't we go out for a walk? I think it will be good for both of us. ”
"If you really think so, then please go to the city and receive the praise and cheers of the people, and show your demeanor and dignity as a lord, instead of running here and hiding and drinking. As for me......... I'm very sorry, my lord, I still have a lot of documents to review, so I won't accompany you!"
"Click. ”
The quill in O'Faryl's hand made a crisp blink as she spoke.
"Maybe you've got a pretty good suggestion. ”
Yuren narrowed his eyes, then stood up.
"Then I take my leave, and I wish you a happy work, Miss O'Faryl. ”
With that, Yulian stood up, bowed slightly to Ofariel, and then quickly opened the door before Her Royal Highness could speak, and then disappeared from the door.
"It's ..............."
Raising her head, Ofaril looked at Yuren's disappearing back angrily, revealing a helpless wry smile, and then, her gaze stopped on the desk in front of her, where a glass of wine filled with ice cubes was lying quietly, emitting a seductive sound. O'Faryl was silent for a moment, then smiled and reached for his glass, taking a sip.
"It's unpleasant. ”
Then, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she whispered and complained.
"Hoo ..............."
Walking out of the study, Yulian took out a handkerchief from his bosom and wiped his forehead, and then, a crisp, sweet voice sounded from his side.
"How's it going, master?"
"It's terrifying, I originally thought that as a condensation of the soul, it was unlikely that Her Royal Highness the princess would have those two or three days............ But now it seems that maybe I don't know the female surname well enough. ”
"Poof. ”
Hearing this, Charlotte couldn't help but chuckle, but then she quickly noticed Yuren's gaze on her, and immediately smiled and closed her mouth.
"How's it going?"
"It's not very good at the moment. ”
Hearing Yuren's inquiry, Charlotte's expression immediately became serious, and she reached out and handed out a piece of information to Yuren - as the captain of the special operations unit, Charlotte is now also responsible for intelligence search. Of course, these geist warriors don't go too far from the Twilight Forest, but Charlotte naturally has her own way of gathering the information she needs from the country taverns and inns. Of course, ordinary farmers don't know much, but the travelers are different, they travel all over the world, and they always bring all kinds of rumors and rumors, and how to sift through these rumors is Charlotte's job.
"According to the information brought by the travelers, the Sith Empire has completely surrounded the capital of King Orrut and cut off all contact with the outside world, and it seems that they intend to adopt a strategy of encircling but not fighting. The complete blockade of the royal city of Orut, especially in the direction of the kingdom of West, where the Sith Empire has sent three legions to defend it, it is clear that this will become a big problem for us. ”
"It's not good news. ”
Hearing this, You Lian frowned, it seems that the Sith Empire is really not stupid, but it is no wonder that a country is desperately selling out of the country to draw a three-month truce, and a little brain knows that there must be something wrong with it. Now it's up to you to see if the Orrut Kingdom is luckier, or if the Sith Empire is strong enough to hunt down those fish that slip through the net.
"And, I heard a strange piece of news. ”
"Strange news?"
"Yes, according to those travelers, there have been some strange rumors in the Kingdom of West recently, that the Sith Empire does not intend to attack the Kingdom of West, and that they want to be able to show their goodwill to this old empire so that the two sides can live in harmony. ”
"This rumor came from the royal capital?"
Hearing this, Yu Lian asked. Charlotte, on the other hand, shook her head, rejecting his speculation.
"No, according to the information I have received, it seems that these rumors first spread in those noble territories, and as for the royal capital, there do not seem to be similar rumors. ”
"I see. ”
Yulian looked carefully at the information in his hand, and after recording all the news, he put it back into his arms.
"Continuing to gather intelligence, I need more information to determine the actions of the Sith Empire. Of course, you don't need to let O'Faryl know about this, you should know what I mean. ”
"Yes, master. ”
Charlotte glanced at the door of the study behind Yuren, lowered her head, and replied softly.
