"Lord Viscount, have you finally figured it out?"

Just as Samwell was about to leave Highland City, Viscount Martin finally sent someone to bring him back to the castle.

In the living room, Viscount Martin did not answer immediately, but took out a bottle of red wine again and said with a smile:

"This is a wine from Dorne, try it?"

"Okay." Samwell happily took the glass and took a sip.

Rough and heavy, with strong tannins and a strong spicy taste.

Viscount Martin also tasted it and exclaimed:

"It's made from salad grapes from Grace City, and like the Dorn's character, it's rough and wild, and if it's the first time you drink it, you have to be careful not to choke on it."

Samwell smiled and drank the wine in his glass, and said:

"I just have a good appetite, and no matter how strong the wine is, I can get it in my throat."

Viscount Martin also smiled: "I'm more and more suspicious now, how could you have a reputation for being a waste before?" ”

"Young and ignorant." Samwell replied casually, then pulled the topic back to him, "Lord Viscount, you should have thought about my previous proposal, right?" ”

Viscount Martin restrained his smile, his face became serious, and said:

"I figured it out. This matter is about the thousand-year-old feud between Riverbend and Dorne, and the Murendale family should certainly not sit idly by. Therefore, I have decided to lease you all the craftsmen in the realm, including the apprentices, a total of two hundred and seventy-five, for a period of one year. ”

Samwell showed irrepressible surprise on his face, and hurriedly thanked:

"Lord Viscount, you are a generous lord and a wise investor! Trust me, this investment will definitely pay off handsomely! ”

"Don't worry." Viscount Martin raised his right hand and said, "Just in case, I need a collateral. ”

"Collateral?"

"Not bad. Raiding merchant ships is also not an easy task, and in case you can't pay it back in the future, I will take the collateral as compensation. ”

Samwell rolled his eyes, and then said:

"In that case, let's use the most important thing in my future territory, the dock, as collateral."

"The docks? Then the incidental docking fees and taxes ......"

"Nature is yours."

Viscount Martin thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes." ”

In his opinion, both Samwell's pirate plan and the Tyrells' grand plan for Dorne's west will use this vital dock.

Use it as collateral and you won't lose anything.

After finalizing the intention of cooperation, the two discussed some details, and after reaching an agreement, they also drew up a contract and signed it together.

"Happy working together!"

"Happy working together!"

At this point, the Mulendall family of Highland City has officially become one of Samwell's investors.

……

In order to wait for the craftsmen of Highland City to assemble, the pioneer team stayed for another three days before setting off again.

This time, the original two-hundred-person pioneer team instantly more than doubled, and it looked even more imposing.

As the leader of the team, Samwell inevitably became proud.

With such a team as support, the most difficult early stage of development will also be a smooth road.

As for the debts he owed, he didn't put them to heart at all.

As a businessman in his previous life, how could Samwell not understand the truth that it is the uncle who owes money.

The more he owes now, the less likely it is for those creditors to watch him fail.

Even he had already planned that when the construction of the new territory officially began, he would write another letter to Viscount Martin, asking him to send some more laborers to help him, citing the lack of manpower.

It is believed that the generous Highland City Lord will not refuse a small request from his partner.

Otherwise, a year later, the dock will not be built, and it will not be the Mulendale family who will lose.

But with more men, the need for food and supplies will also surge.

He can barely support himself with the help of the Tyrells now, and he may have to find new investors in the future.

However, there is no urgency in this matter for the time being, and the most important thing now is to rush to the development site.

It's been almost three months since they left the High Court, and the slow pace of the march is probably the slowest in Westeros' history.

And, as we get deeper into the Crimson Mountains, the rest of the journey is expected to be more difficult than before.

There is even a possibility of being attacked by wild people.

So after entering the mountain, Samwell stopped his routine military training to keep the soldiers strong enough to deal with possible accidents.

However, as expected, the march behind was not disturbed in spite of the difficult journey.

It seems that those savages are still somewhat sensible, and when they saw more than 200 heavily armed soldiers in this team, they knew that this was a hard bone, and they did not dare to bite hard.

It was some unseen beasts that attacked the pioneer team, and of course, they all ended up on a barbecue.

After nearly a month, the pioneer team that had accelerated its march finally saw the summer sea from afar.

The salty, hot and humid sea breeze blew in the face, blowing away the mist in the mountains and forests, making everyone feel a sense of comfort from the heart.

Samwell was also overjoyed and couldn't help but speed up his pace.

Further south, the mountains gently settle down, creating a rare valley and a raised beachhead stretching out to sea.

Todd Buddha said:

"Lord Caesar, this is Eagle's Beak Island, and it is a fitting place for your new territory."

Samwell looked around and couldn't help but nod secretly.

It's a nice place, surrounded by mountains on both sides, backed by the Summer Sea, and only accessible by a narrow valley to the northwest.

The gentle valley in the middle was tens of thousands of acres, and although it was barren rock and soil for crops, it was certainly not a problem to build a castle, and the protruding beachhead was just right for the marina.

Judging by the way Todd Fohua was familiar with the road when he led the team before, it was obvious that the Tyrells had sent someone to inspect this place.

However, it is located in the depths of the Crimson Mountains, which is inconvenient to communicate with the outside world, and there is no fertile land suitable for farming, so if you want to establish a territory, you must rely on blood transfusions from the outside world.

The Tyrells had apparently not made up their minds to pioneer in the area until Samwell came along.

Lady Olenna was supposed to have Todd Flora keep the cowardly pioneer knight under control, and in his name he would raid passing merchant ships to maintain the cost of the territory.

Of course, Samwell would certainly not accept such an arrangement today.

Pirates, once exposed, don't want to get mixed up in aristocratic circles.

It is estimated that he can only flee to the other side of the Narrow Sea to join the Dragon Mother, just like Jorah Mormont, who was convicted of the slave trade.

Well?

Why do you suddenly think that this road doesn't seem to be bad......

Samwell immediately shook his head, shaking off the stupid thought.

Now that he has changed his name to Caesar, he naturally does not want to be subservient to a woman anymore.

If he wants to climb the ladder in the coming chaotic world, he must have his own territory and descendant army as soon as possible.

The Eagle's Beak Island and more than 400 pioneers in front of you are the starting point of it all.
