"Dragons, I think everyone is curious about dragons." Captain Rudolph fell into memory for a while, and only after a moment did he say, "Speaking of the legend of the dragon in the Cronokey Lake region of Southland, Master Aldington, do you know the divine dragon of the Arctic ice field?" ”

"You mean the Divine Crystal Dragon King in the Kingdom of Burgundy?"

"Yes, it is the Divine Crystal Sealed Dragon King, the undoubted king of the Arctic Ice Field, and it is said that only the Glorious Knight with justice in his heart can glimpse a trace of the back of the Divine Crystal Sealed Dragon King in the Arctic Ice Field."

The continent of Rafah resembles a pie with a bite in the middle to form a huge Mediterranean Sea.

With the Mediterranean Sea as the dividing line, the Plantagenet Kingdom should be located directly south of the continent of Rafa, and its territory spans from the Mediterranean Sea all the way to the endless ocean of the Southern Ocean. And due north of the Rafah continent is the Kingdom of Holy Byrran, and further north of the Kingdom of Holy Byrlan is the Kingdom of Burgundy.

The area of the northern half of the continent is much larger than that of the southern half of the continent.

Moreover, the northern ocean, which is on the verge of the northern half of the continent, freezes all year round, forming the current vast Arctic ice sheet, while the southern half of the continent may not have enough dimensions, and the southern ocean rarely freezes. It can be said that, both geographically and politically, the pattern is that the northern half of the continent is stronger than the southern half of the continent.

"Captain Rudolph, does this Divine Crystal Sealed Dragon King have any connection with the legend of the dragon in the Kronotke Lake region?" Aldington asked, puzzled.

Captain Rudolph replied: "It's related, I have carefully combed through the legends here, and found that the source of the legend of the giant dragon may be the Divine Crystal Sealed Dragon King." ”

"Huh?"

"Young Master Aldington, you must be wondering, how can the Arctic Ice Field, which is thousands of miles away from Lake Kronoaki in the south, be connected. In fact, it was very simple, some mercenaries came to Cronokey Lake and brought the legend of the Arctic Ice Field's Sacred Crystal Sealed Dragon King, and then the local snow man listened to it, and the north and south were confused, and gradually it was rumored that there were dragons here. ”

"Is that so?" Aldington was speechless.

"That's probably it, in fact, our mercenaries have been mining in the Kronoki Lake area for hundreds of years, and during this time, only a few phantom beasts have been found, not to mention dragons, and they have not even encountered the shadow of dragon beasts." Rudolph seemed to see Aldington a little disappointed.

He added: "Of course, we generally operate on the south shore of Lake Kronotkee, and the north shore is an area where snow barbarians live, and our mercenary group is not strong enough to rarely enter, maybe there are really dragons there." ”

"I see, thanks to Captain Rudolph for the solution."

"Ah, it's nothing, I'm honored to be able to help Master Aldington. In the future, the Grey Sheep Mercenary Group will be stationed in Lakeside City, hoping to gain your friendship with Master Aldington. ”

Aldington expressed satisfaction with Rudolph's approach: "As long as the Grey Sheep mercenary group obeys the rules set by the Iris family, the entire Cronokey Lake region will be unhindered for you." As for myself, I also like to make friends and develop the land together. ”

"Of course, of course."

"Then leave it at that, I'll invite you to drink when I have time."

"Master Aldington, walk slowly, the gray sheep mercenary group, always waiting for your arrival." Captain Rudolph smiled and watched Aldington and his party leave.

When everyone left, a ranger beside him said with some curiosity: "Is this Young Master Aldington really only seventeen years old, or are the heirs of the nobility so mature and sophisticated?" ”

"Maybe this is the education of a big aristocratic family, unlike our children, who deal with mud and feces all day long."

"The Iris family looks like they're going to be here for a long time."

"The Grand Duchy of the Danube has been built, and it seems that in a short time, the Iris family will not be able to go back. But it's good that with the Iris family in the Kronotke Lake area and showing a willingness to cooperate, it's time for our Grey Sheep mercenary group to take deep roots here. ”

"Iris only has a Phantom Beast Knight, Baron Aurenor, can he bring the shelter they say?" Ranger asked.

Captain Rudolph lit a cigarette and took a deep breath: "And Aldington, the future of the Awakened Knights, it's not for us to figure out. Moreover, at his age and level, he was able to contract a Phantom Beast, and maybe in another ten years, he would be able to advance to the Awakened Phantom Beast Knight! ”

"Awakened Phantom Beast Knight, ......" a soldier in the mercenary group sighed, "The most powerful combat power under the Dragon Knight, even the Magi, Prophet, and Sword Saint can hardly easily defeat the Awakened Phantom Beast Knight. As the regimental leader said, in another ten years, there will be no doubt that the rulers of the Southlands will be the Iris family. ”

The ranger retorted: "That's not necessarily, they are all imperial barons, and the other three families may not want to see the Iris family steal the limelight." ”

Captain Rudolph interrupted with a wave of his hand: "It's best to talk less about this topic, remember, we came here far away from home just to make money, and the Iris family can bring us more benefits, so we will honestly obey the rules of the Iris family, understand!" ”

"Of course."

……

A week later, Director Boris brought in a construction team of earth magicians, and after negotiating the price with the Aurenos, these earth magicians began to level the land for Momiji Town.

First of all, a galloping road from the lakeside market across the entire territory of Momiji Town was leveled.

But after these magicians quickly chanted magic spells, the pale yellow light continued to converge, producing huge stones to crush the land back and forth. When the magic time came, the stones were gone, and all that was left was the dirt embankment that had been tamped to the point that a shovel could not dig up.

Another group of earth mages found a stone mountain and continuously released magic to bombard the mountain, shattering the stones into small pieces the size of a fist.

The serfs of the Iris family, as well as the civilians who were called in the vicinity, carried the stones in carts and wagons and quickly piled them up on the roadbed. The earth mages began to summon the stones again, crushing them as they went, crushing them almost to powder.

In this way, the gallop road, which was paved with two layers of stones in a row, gradually took on the appearance of a road.

Then there were serfs with special glue and sprinkled it on the road surface, and the family magician used a few fire magic to bake the road back and forth. The baked-dry pavement is smooth and smooth, and it feels like touching a rubber runway, which is the gallop of the Plantagenet Kingdom.

Magical civilizations may not have the big machines and cement mortar tarmac, but magic can solve most of their problems.

"It's so beautiful, with this gallop, the horses can finally gallop quickly, and now it should only take two or three days to travel between Salmon City and Lakeside City." The people of the mercenary group, when they came back from the forest, saw the vigorous construction scene, and they all praised it.

If you want to get rich, build roads first.

This principle will work everywhere.

Aldington looked at the brand-new Chidao with the same delight, and he thought beautifully: "When the family has more money to spare, we must persuade our parents to build a network of galloping roads in all directions with Red Leaf Town as the center." Compared to the Danube province, this undeveloped virgin land is more suitable for making a big difference. ”
