Roche sipped his tea slowly, letting Smart sit stiff and ponder, and his face changed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Finally, Smart came back to his senses, he wiped the sweat on his forehead, looked at Roch, and said resolutely, "It's done!"

"Congratulations!" Roche laughed.

"Congratulations too!" Smart smiled as well, his round eyes narrowed into two slits, and then, both flattering and boastful, said to Roche, "Your Highness, I find that we are one of the same kind!

After a pause, he gave a thumbs up and sighed heartily: "However, I must admit that you are stronger! I have no doubt because I am sure that as long as the expansion project can be carried out smoothly, the construction company is destined to succeed, even if the expansion plan is unfortunately scrapped halfway, uh, bah! This is just a hypothesis! I mean even in that hypothetical bad situation, I have already gained a lot and can calmly withdraw, so I dare to face the risk head-on. And you, tsk......"

Smart shook his round head and praised it, his face full of admiration.

"The plan to expand the city is grand, but so is the pressure! If it fails, it will pay a huge price! It will be a price that no family or any city-state can bear! I can't imagine how a strong heart can still maintain self-confidence and believe that it will succeed under the weight of the mountain! This is really ...... Your Highness, you are my idol! Admire! Worship! You must take off your hat and salute!"

In the last paragraph, the flesh is a little numb......

But Roach was quite happy to hear it, so he laughed again, and smiled brightly, purely, out of pure pleasure, without the slightest element of self-restraint.

"Haha! Thank you! But this sycophant is too much! You overestimate me!"

"Never!" Smart immediately straightened his face to show his determination.

"Unfortunately, it's not what you think it is. Roach shook his head and chuckled, "Frankly, I still feel trepidation from time to time, even though I'm sure the expansion plan will succeed. Oh, it's not out of self-confidence, it's because of trust in a person, almost blind trust. ”

"Wow, alone?" Smart said.

"Well, a person. The newly appointed chief advisor of the Crescent City Dominion, the provider of sugar processing technology, and a legendary-level powerhouse! ”

"I've seen it too? uh...... Sephius?" Smart's eyes widened.

"Not bad. ”

"Oh my God!" Smart hugged his round head, looking very surprised, "Honored! Yes! I am honored! I am really honored... Ahh

Roche wasn't prepared to hide Frank's identity, so he said it directly, which made Smart scream again. But with Eve, he has reservations.

"Alright, stop! Now, let you know everything you want to know, and I think you should understand what that means. ”

Smart immediately retracted all his superfluous expressions and solemnly replied, "This is my best chance! I think I just need to know this and work tirelessly!"

"Good. Roach smiled appreciatively, then knocked on the table, "I think you need to put in your efforts right away. I don't know how long it will take you and your buddies to return to your hometown, how long it will take to assemble an engineering team to complete your construction company, and when you will return to Crescent City. All I know is that the expansion plan has begun, and the steps will only keep moving forward, and will not stop for a moment because of who or what. ”

Smart immediately understood, and he asked eagerly, "There will be a project soon?"

"Well, big project, big project. It's just that I doubt you'll be able to catch up. ”

Smart's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "I can catch up! I can definitely catch up! Dare to ask which project in which area?"

"Fort Forward. ”

"Advance Fort?!How could it be there? Isn't it a dead place crawling with zombie skeletons?"

"Well, it is now, but soon it will not be. Roche replied abruptly, looking completely sure.

"Knights of the Crescent?" Smart asked softly, apparently reminiscent of the news that had been circulating in the city lately.

"You don't need to know that. Roach did not admit it, nor did he deny it, but forcibly took it, and as for whether the other party would develop a rich imagination because of this, he didn't care.

"Uh, understood. Smart was the only thing he should be, and suddenly his face turned again, and his face was full of respect, "It is definitely the wisest idea to rebuild Fort Forward! There is no better place to be the eastern gate of the Dominion of Crescent City!"

"Do you still have to say that?"

Lotchi actually wanted to roll his eyes and spat at the mouth and complain loudly, but after all, he didn't, and he remembered to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor. However, as soon as I thought of the various benefits that would come with the successful reconstruction of Fort Qian, I felt that the reserved smile on my face was a little uncontrollable.

Needless to say, the improvement in transportation conditions alone is already very good.

You know, the main road connecting Crescent City to the vast Northland hinterland was theoretically a way through Fort Advance (which was originally chosen to choke the choke point), but now you have to make a big bend around it as you pass through it!

The advance fort, which had fallen due to the strong attack of Toguo's army in the war of resistance, had not been cleaned up for a long time due to various factors, and then I don't know what happened to gather a large amount of negative energy, and the remains of the fallen soldiers who should have slowly returned to the dust were infected, and they were successively transformed into various undead creatures, and it was rumored that a rather high-level existence was derived from it, making it a dead and silent place where no one could enter. The travelers and caravans had to make a detour far away for fear of contagion, which caused additional travel costs and a great problem.

This has been going on for more than two decades.

Therefore, if this place can be leveled, the market town can be reopened, the merchant inn tax card station can be set up, the road will be straightened and straightened to a short distance, and a good and smooth "East Gate" can be reorganized, it will really be a meritorious thing.

So, why has such a good thing not been done so far? Ahem, it is said that there are many considerations~!

In fact, the area around Fort Qianqian is not a place of no return.

Later, many adventurers tried to explore deeply, and although there were still unlucky ghosts who remained in it forever, most of them were able to return safely. But the results of the exploration were not satisfactory. None of the returning adventurers could say what was special and unusual about it, and it was no different from the common ancient battlefields where the dead were heavy and easy to spawn undead creatures, and even the more elite exploration teams sent by Crescent City or various churches could not achieve additional results, so the reason for the change in the castle has always been a mystery.

In any case, an official statement that is open to the public is essential, and the reason that "the special terrain here has led to an abnormal concentration of negative energy that leads to the emergence of clusters of undead creatures" is thrown out - well, it does not stand up to scrutiny, and can only be used to comfort the ill-informed general public.

Fortunately, the undead creatures hovering here seem to rely heavily on the dense cloud of negative energy that gathers in, and they always shrink and shrink their flies inside, and they will not easily step out of the enveloping range of this energy layer, so there are very few bad events that sound terrifying, such as "undead creatures are rampant and block business travel".

As time passed, the parties concerned found that the actual impact was not too great, and gradually became unconcerned.

The Crescent City Dominion Government, which has long regarded the area around the Seven Forts on the west bank of the Horna River as a sphere of influence, and the self-proclaimed Church of the Church of Good Gods, which swears to clean up the filth and eradicate the evil and the undead, have never forgotten this place.

It's just that the people at the top are obviously much more "steady", and they need to make adequate measurements of inputs and outputs, and after measuring them, they think that it is okay for you businessmen who can always make money and backpackers who are interested in traveling around to make a detour, and then, there is no more, just a few more non-permanent monitoring stations on the periphery of the area.

Of course, this is no longer the case, and the real boss of the region, His Excellency Grand Duke Thurman, the lord of Crescent City, has made up his mind to make a difference in this evil land. He wants to let all the desecrated dead who cannot rest be overcome, he wants to dispel all the unclean negative energy, he wants to make the Advance Fort appear to the world as a market town again, he wants to clear the clogged roads again, he wants every traveler who crosses the Horna River to see the crescent moon flag fluttering overhead!

Well, in fact, he couldn't stand the fool of a certain master and ate a big cake he painted, and was dazzled by a large amount of money he gave away, and finally the other party patted his chest and said that he would personally go into battle and guarantee success, in this case, the grand duke didn't know what other reason to refuse.

Well, it doesn't really matter, you just need to know a simple summary: Fort Ahead is still a badland, but it's worth a lot and worth salvaging, so a boring master is ready to take action, and see how he gets his way.

Roach was undoubtedly distracted, this guy didn't know which inexplicable corner to fly his thoughts to, but fortunately he came back to his senses quickly, he coughed lightly twice, put away the strange expression that made Smart dumbfounded, turned to a straight face, and gave a serious advice, and then sent Smart away. He still has a lot of things to do.

Meet the guests, meet the guests, or meet the guests......

It's a little boring, a little tired, but it's full enough, and he still likes it very much.

In the evening, tired and tired, Roch returned to the castle. It was at the castle gate that he met Frank.

"Something?" Roche asked with concern.

Obviously, Frank's frowning brow and drooping corners of his mouth make it clear that he has something in mind.

Shaking his head and spreading his hands, Frank replied, "Ye is still in the room, and it has been more than half a month." ”

"Eve is still with him?"

"Uh, yes. ”

"That's fine, it'll be fine soon. ”

"Why are you so confident in Eve?"

"Why don't you have faith in Eve?" Roche smiled, looking like he was holding a wisdom bead, "Now the only one who can make him open his heart and tell stories without any scruples." ”
