Take a deep breath and exhale slowly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"But I've heard all your stories today. First, he went to the blacksmith shop to spend a lot of money to collect tools for cutting trees, then went through a tavern chaos to recruit his own mercenary group, and finally went to the market to recruit a group of people who worked for him. Aside from everything else, the number of orders you place and the number of workers you recruit in the blacksmith is unimaginable, so why do you need so many tools and people?"

Artoria straightened her seat, her eyes fixed on Char and asked.

"Besides, where did you get your money? I don't remember when I gave you so much money to squander. ”

"Where the wealth of the nobility comes from, it is naturally the people of the territory. To tell you the truth, I sleepwalked to my territory last night and ransacked all the people there. Then I woke up and found myself with an extra bag full of gold coins...... beside me. ”

“EX――！！！”

"Ahem, ahem, it's a sum of money taken from the treasury, but because it's too small, I've made another trip to every nearby noble territory. And to my surprise, everyone was poor. Char shrugged, then continued: "I swept through the noble territories around the royal capital, and found that your gold coins were not as large as I had stored myself, so I could only use the shriveled five or six hundred gold coins as the initial capital. ”

"Bastard! Not long ago, the entire royal capital was full of turmoil, and you did it!

Artoria shouted frantically.

"Oh, oh, I even use the idiom of the wind and rain in the city. Mmmm, it's Artoria, I've studied hard. ”

Char proudly patted Artoria's little head with a relieved expression.

"Hmm...... I'm King Arthur, stupid~Hmm~"

"No!!Not this rhythm!!"

Artoria enjoyed it at first, but then she suddenly reacted.

"Okay, okay, got it. In fact, the reason for my visit this time is very simple, I need the wasteland in the south of the city to complete my first plan. ”

Char waved his hand with a very perfunctory attitude, soothing a certain lion cub who looked like he was about to go berserk.

"That wasteland, the piece of land south of the city, has not been paid much attention to since the time of King Uther. In addition to the fertile land, it is surrounded by mountains and forests, and even dangerous birds and animals. Even if I go there, I have to lead an elite team to dare to approach, why do you want that kind of dangerous and uninhabited wasteland?"

"Because there's a huge treasure buried there. ”

"What?!Do you mean gold or silver or whatever?!"

Artoria suddenly became excited, but Char's words immediately extinguished the enthusiasm that had just ignited in her heart.

"No, not a single one. How could I have known that there was gold before I had even been there?"

"Then why do you say there's a huge treasure there?!Speak cautiously next time, Char!"

Some scolded in annoyance.

Char still maintains a very cautious and cheerful attitude.

"I say it's a treasure because I see an opportunity to expand the future, and I'm the only one who can unlock the potential of that treasure or the whole land. But for ordinary people, including you, it's just a desolate and dangerous ruin. ”

For the ridicule mixed in Char's tone, Artoria threw a punch without hesitation, and Char dodged it in time!

Then, Char looked at King Arthur defiantly.

"Cut, really good at hiding. ”

Knowing that it would be impossible to take advantage of the other party if she wasn't serious, Artoria could only say it with a happy mouth.

"I'm not the kind of fool who knows he can't do it, and he will only pay for his recklessness. Let's not talk about that, let's talk about the land in the south of the city. ”

King Arthur sighed: "It has been uninhabited for more than ten years, and no one among the nobles wants to go near the ruins. So if it's in the name of helping refugees settle down, it doesn't ......hurt to reorganize the ruins. ”

The wasteland south of the city is not only dangerous, but also sparsely populated and has little natural resources. In addition, there are many snakes, insects and beasts in the mountains and forests, and the residents near the royal city have been reluctant to move to the south of the city, and the nobles have no interest in that barren land.

Coupled with the fact that part of the wall in the vicinity had partially collapsed, workers rebuilt a stronger wall thirty meters behind the collapse. In this way, the southern district was completely separated from the center of the royal city, and it was thirteen years after that, and no one has been to the wasteland since.

So in fact, almost all the high-level members of the kingdom, including King Arthur, have subconsciously erased the existence of Chengnan from memory, if Char hadn't proposed to use the land in Chengnan as his base to develop this time, it is estimated that no one would want to go there even in another thirty years.

"But watch out for the Duke of Backer's gaze, who has been keeping an eye on the palace since the end of the last meeting of the nobles. Or to be precise, waiting for you to show up. ”

"Tsk...... That old man really has the means to the sky. In this way, I am afraid that you will have to change even the attendants in the palace. ”

"Of course, and Lancelot has already done it. This will ensure the safety of our meeting for a short time, and although your appearance and form have changed drastically, your eagle eyes are too conspicuous. It's better to be careful. ”

Artoria finished and took out a silver mask from under the wooden table.

"This is the noble mask I ordered the blacksmith to build overnight, so you should wear it from this day onwards. In addition, from now on you are King Arthur's imperial advisor, and you can rightfully take over the sphere of influence in the south of the city. Artoria seemed pleased with the reason, and a rare smile appeared on her countenance.

Char frowned, but reached out to take the mask.

After wearing it, I feel cold on my face, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

"Really well prepared...... It's just that the craftsmanship is not up to par. ”

"It's made of sterling silver, and I've paid for it myself, so be content. ”

Artoria signed the order without looking up.

"In addition, the wasteland in the south of the city has been abandoned for thirteen years, and no one will interfere with your actions, so don't worry about it. Speaking of which, that wasteland is quite large, almost half the size of a royal city. ”

"Yes, it is indeed half the area of the royal city, but more than three-fifths of it is in the mountains, and the only place near the city wall is the endless plain, which is not even ...... shelter. Char said.

"Hmph, but it's such a wasteland, and you are very optimistic about it. To be honest, I'm very curious right now about what amazing things you can do there. However, time does not allow me to leave the castle without permission to spy on you in the south of the city, so I give you half a year to develop the territory, and I will go there in half a year to see it myself. ”

When she was done, Artoria handed the document to Char.

"The moment I took this document, my order was in effect, and I will send a guard or herald to inform all nobles and civilians that the wasteland south of the city is already your leased territory. ”

"King Arthur, my assertiveness is what I appreciate the most. ”

"Hmph, don't say nice things yet, let's talk about your money. You also know that my treasury has been relatively empty lately to continue a sum of money, so Char should be able to ......-hey!!"

"That's it for now!bye~~!!"

As soon as Artoria said the word "money", Char had already dodged and rushed out of the room.

When Artoria was stunned as she looked at Char's figure, who had completely disappeared outside the door......

Bang dang!

Her Majesty gritted his silver teeth in anger and shouted hysterically, "Char!!, you unwielding iron rooster—!!!"

The entire tower reverberated with King Arthur's roar......

Frightened, many of the guards on duty shrank their heads.
