The road construction pattern that the conqueror's army was accustomed to attracted countless Cormiers to stop and watch.

There are not only purple dragon patrols patrolling along the way, but also merchants along the way, and farmers working in the fields.

They were all struck by the horrific speed with which roads were built in the hands of an army of conquerors, even easier than the peasants who reclaimed the wasteland.

The road construction team is still divided into two parts, the first half is a combination of manpower and magic, using fossils to mud, removing magic, turning mud into stone, and shaping stones, tinkering with uneven or narrow locations, making them relatively flat.

Then the corresponding kobold caster smashed down the paving technique of the day, and it was as if a big hand was invisibly flattening and widening the road surface, and then both dirt and pure dirt turned into blue-gray asphalt roads.

That kind of smooth, clean, and regular appearance makes people happy when they see it.

Another thing that amazed the Cormiers was that the army of nearly 100,000 conquerors, including people and livestock, was able to carry out the order and forbid, and there was really a shadow of an army, which they had only seen in the Purple Dragon Legion.

Along the way, Gavin had little chance of walking with the army of the conquerors.

First, the army of conquerors has been fully formed, from top to bottom, there is a complete mode of operation, and there are very few things that need to be dealt with by him personally.

The second is that the stall is large, this place takes up a little time, that place occupies a little bit, and there is not much left when it is divided.

Thirdly, the road they will take next is owned by the owner, and he must go to the front to play the front station and communicate with the local landlord.

While the army of the conquerors was still struggling through the rocks, Gavin was already in Tifanton over tea and chatting with the Regent, Lady Aracelin, to discuss the passing of the army of the conquerors, and at the same time to reach some consensus, put aside the dispute, and find points of cooperation.

Although it is true that they are in competition, they are internal competition, and they have not yet reached the level of saber rattling, and Gavin's eyes are no longer limited to the rocks.

To put it simply, Baron Iwachi is no longer a good match for his current status.

When he handles affairs with a gaze far above this place, he is naturally invincible.

Even the Regent, who was hostile to him at first, couldn't help but smile on her face when he left, indicating that she was quite satisfied with the meeting.

Gavin was cleared from top to bottom, and when the army of conquerors passed through here, there would naturally be no trouble.

Gavin, on the other hand, hurried to the next and final stop, Misty Hollow.

After the city of Tifanton, this trade road is no longer a high road, but a moon sea road.

This road traverses the entire Great Forest of Komanso and leads directly to the distant mountain castle on the southern shore of the Tsuki Sea, so it is called the Tsukimi Highway.

The main body of the Misty Valley is on this road, and there is a long, narrow glade.

This glade is not artificially reclaimed, but a masterpiece of a falling meteor, this huge meteor has smashed obliquely on this elven forest for thousands of years, and has forced a burn mark more than 200 kilometers long and sixty or seventy kilometers wide.

No trees have grown from the trail of the meteor's fall, but when humans and elves made a pact and Tateishi cultivated here, they found that the land here was surprisingly fertile.

It is considered to be a gift from the Mother Earth, Cetiah, and is revered by the people here, with her statues and altars everywhere, as evidenced by the Golden Wheat Bae Monastery, a monastery dedicated to the Mother Earth with ten square kilometers of blessed fields, just like Gavin's magic fields that are in tune with the wind and rain, and the yield here is always the highest in the whole of Ferron.

It is said that the monastery has enough food to feed the entire valley for a year, and the golden sheaves of ale produced here are resounding in Faerun, and are highly regarded by the dwarves of the spirits race.

In addition to this, they also produce a highly distilled white wheat bale with such a high degree that it can make the person who drinks it burn directly like the summer wheat bae, and it also has a very high audience.

Gavin has a good relationship with this monastery, and is the thread of the needle drawn by the Grand Inquisitor of Wallonia of the Hammer of Justice Abbey, using his ability to destroy evil, destroying and refining the various evil cursed items sealed in this monastery and turning them into useful magical equipment.

It's just that the priests of the Golden Wheat Bundle Monastery are not known for their ability in this area, even if the history here is longer than that of the Hammer of Light, but the evil cursed items they took out are not more than one-third of the Hammer of Light's Abbey, and they do not have the unique equipment like the Hammer of the Rising Sun.

The biggest significance of this matter is that he got on the line with the largest granary in the valley, Gavin ate most of the grain from here, spent 500,000 gold coins to buy 5,000 tons of grain, the purchase agreement has already been signed by both parties, in order to prevent extraneous branches, Gavin even paid the money first, but the grain has not been transported away, and it is still stored in the granary of the Golden Wheat Bunch Monastery.

For this is not the food to be shipped to Sesk, but the winter food for the army of the conquerors, who will travel with the army of the conquerors to the Land of the Three Rivers.

All in all, the Misty Valley is a fortunate valley with fertile land, and the dense forests of the Great Forest of Comanso are the best barriers, and there are also outer layers such as the Valley of Shadows, the Valley of the Dagger, the Valley of the Deep Forest, the Valley of the Bow, and the Valley of Battles, which isolate the two major forces of the Santarim and the Sambia.

The Moon Sea Highway was an important part of the trade between the Cormir Kingdom and the Moon Sea region, bringing a lot of extra wealth to the people here.

The only trouble came from their west, that is, in the direction of Tifanton, and there seemed to be no shortage of bears, orcs, gnolls, goblins, goblins, goblins, or monsters worse and more unpleasant than them, and from time to time some of them would pour down, causing a great deal of trouble to the inhabitants of the area, and forcing them to maintain a relatively large cavalry force to patrol and guard the place.

Overall, life here is very relaxed, with plenty of idyllic scenery and a thriving business that makes people laid-back, confident and not conservative.

The town of Ashabantan is the capital of the Misty Valley, just like Ezebura, the capital of the Battle Valley, it is not even a city, it is a larger town at best, and it is also the only town in the Misty Valley, and the rest are either villages, settlements, or manors, scattered over a narrow strip of land according to the needs of cultivation.

According to the Misty Valley's own statistics, the total population of the entire valley is less than half of the peak of the conqueror's army, only about 25,000 people, and given that their inhabitants are so scattered, and some of them live in seclusion in the surrounding forests, this number may still rise, but it is definitely not more than 50,000.

So, for the Misty Valley, the Conqueror's army taking advantage of this place is definitely a big deal, and they are very concerned about it.

When Gavin appeared in this town, he was immediately recognized, and countless children ran wildly along the Moon Sea Highway, shouting as they ran, "The conqueror is coming, the conqueror is coming, the conqueror is coming." ”

"Where, where, where?"

"He's the legendary conqueror? It's too young, and it's clear that it's a child who hasn't even started to grow a beard! ”

"The other party is a half-elf, what's strange about not growing a beard, his actual age may be much older than he looks."

"Is his army of conquerors really as big as legendary? So magical? Even if the treemen were willing to tow the carts for him, and the elves drove the horses for him, and the cattle and wagons could not be seen at a sight? ”

"You ask me, who do I ask? I haven't seen it again. ”

"No need to guess, it won't be long before we can see with our own eyes, it is said that they have already left the rocks, passed Tifanton, and will be able to enter our Misty Valley in a day or two, and he must have come to our Supreme Councillor to discuss the matter of excuses."

"What is there to discuss? As if we could say no, they have more people than we have in all of us combined. ”

"It's a shame that you're not a conqueror, otherwise you're a believer in a tyrannical lord, an out-and-out tyrant, and people call it a courtesy, and you know what it means to salute first and then soldier."

"I don't know, the first time I've heard this term, what does it mean?"

"I have time to read more of Ms. Strategy's teachings, there are many useful things in them."

"I'm not going to join the army to fight, so why should I know the teachings of a god of war? I can be a pacifist. ”

"Who said that the teachings of the Stratagem were all for teaching war? There are many things in it, which are also very useful for doing business and dealing with people, haven't you heard of shopping malls like battlefields? You wouldn't be interested in money, would you? ”

"Hah...... How can the teachings of the Stratagem still have a role in this regard? Then I'll have to take a good look when I'm free, even a pacifist has to eat. ”

Countless Misty Valley residents poked their heads out of the doorways or windows of the shops along the street, looking curiously at the legendary conqueror, whispering and sharing their hearsay.

The town is half-crossed, it is located on the west side of the Ashaba River, which is where its name comes from, and the Moon Sea Highway runs through the middle of the town.

This trade road is naturally the most prosperous part of this street, and all kinds of shops, hotels, pubs, restaurants, joy halls, etc., are all crowded on this street.

A middle-aged man with a body size similar to Bed's size walked up briskly towards Gavin, and before he could reach a hearty laugh, he arrived first: "It's really an honor for us to have arrived, Lord Conqueror, I've heard of your name for a long time, but I haven't had a chance to meet it, please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Hareske Marlon, and I am appreciated by the people of the Misty Valley, who are represented by the six councilors, and I am now the supreme councilor of the Misty Valley."

Help coordinate some troubles and minor disputes between neighbors in Misty Valley.

Allow me, on behalf of the innocent people of the mist, to welcome you warmly, and I have ordered a feast to be set up, and I invite your Excellency to move. ”

This person not only has the same body size as Bed, but even the smile is printed in a mold, and the fat face is always smiling and groaning, giving people the feeling of smiling before speaking, and the words are simple and sincere, as if every word comes from the inner abdomen.

This is a businessman, not a powerful warrior or a politician.

Gavin knew that the other party was indeed the supreme ruler of the Misty Valley, and the black scepter in his hand had the ability to deploy the Misty Valley's only fighting force, the Misty Valley Cavalry, and several powerful warriors were behind him.

Like the other valleys in the Vale, the system of government here is similarly loose, with no lords, but six councillors elected by the people, who are usually not the most powerful, but the most prestigious and well-connected in the Misty Valley, usually the oldest, and then the Council of Six elects a seventh councillor, who is the supreme councilor of the Misty Valley.

But he only has the right to decide the small things of the day, and if the big things really involve the whole valley, he has to gather the other six councillors and convene a parliament.

Gavin smiled and replied, "The Supreme Councillor is too outward, you can call me Sir Sir Wizeme, I am Sir Vizeme, canonized by Lord Ilmet." ”

Aside from a series of names, of course, it is to shorten the distance between the two sides and represent that he is a member of the valley.

"Then you're welcome, Sir, please." Hariske laughed, he is also a long-tempered human spirit, from this title, he tastes a lot of things.

Ashaban Beach is just a small town, and it is not a few kilometers from beginning to end, and the group arrived at the residence of the Supreme Councillor with little effort.

It is more appropriate to be a shop than a mansion, because it is also located on the Moonsea Highway, and has a double-storey structure, which is filled with a variety of goods, and is a bit of a grocery store in nature, with five or six clerks coming in and out here.

The only thing that is a little different from other shops is that this shop is two-in, with a small courtyard behind it, and there is a two-story building in it.

As if sensing the confusion in Gavin's expression, Supreme Councilor Hareske explained with a smile: "Our people in the Misty Valley are simple, there are not so many political things, and it costs money to build a separate council hall, and thanks to the love of the people, they are willing to make do with the affairs in my small shop, so we can only entertain Sir here, and please don't misunderstand, we have no intention of slacking off." ”

"I now understand a little bit why Your Excellency was elected as the supreme councilor of the Misty Valley, I have only seen the use of public for private purposes before, and I have never seen private affairs for public purposes." Gavin complimented, "This is my greatest honor. ”

"Jazz is overrated." Hareske laughed with a red face, "Actually, I also benefited from this matter, after all, when dealing with some official business, some people will stop by my store to take a look, and some people will be grateful to buy goods that are not urgently needed from me."

This has brought me an extra source of customers, making me the best shop in the Misty Valley, and making me the wealthiest person in the whole of the Misty Valley.

With all this, what could I not be satisfied with? ”

Obviously, this is the proudest and proudest place for this supreme councilor of the Misty Valley, after all, it is a double harvest of fame and fortune.

Few rulers have been able to do so to his extent.

"This also speaks volumes about the recognition of the residents of Misty Vale for your handling of affairs." Gavin smiled and said, "Otherwise, don't say it's buying goods from you, even if you have more window glass, it's not enough for people to smash!" ”

"It's no wonder that the glass of my shop is always broken once or twice a month, and the original root is here, which shows that in the affairs I handle, some villagers are still resentful, and there are still things that need to be improved." A trace of distress welled up on Hareske's fat face, but eighty percent of it was feigned, how could such a shrewd person not know why his window glass was smashed.

It's not difficult to find out, but still pretending not to know, or blaming the reason on yourself, is also a sign of kindness.

It shows that this person is not only fat, but also has a wide heart, which can accommodate things that ordinary people can't accommodate.

Gavin said in a half-joking tone: "Coincidentally, we have developed a kind of steel glass that can withstand violent impacts, not to mention stones, even if it is bombarded with a sledgehammer, if it is not strong enough to rival that of a giant, it will be difficult to shatter it, why don't I send a batch to the Supreme Councilor, so that you can rest easy in the future." ”

"Oh?" Hareske's eyes lit up, but this kind of light belonged to that kind of businessman, especially when he saw a business opportunity, he asked repeatedly, "I don't know how much this steel glass costs?" Can it be made in batches? Can I buy some of them and sell them in my store? ”

"I'm sorry, this kind of steel glass is currently produced in limited quantities, mainly for personal use, and will not be sold in the market in a short time, so I can only give a part of it to the Supreme Councillor as a friend." Gavin is not a postponement, but air glass has many uses in his hands, not to mention that it is only used as an accessory product now, even if it can be mass-produced in the later stage, before the large-scale increase in output, it is mostly for his own use.

And this brand new product often has huge performance to dig into.

Now they are only using the tempering characteristics of the air glass, and they have not had time to try the magic fusion ability, if it shows a good elemental fusion, and shows its head a little in magic manufacturing, it is estimated that ordinary people want to use this kind of glass, they have to wait until they find a cheaper way to mass production, and the output has exploded.

"That's a shame." Hareske sighed with regret on his face and said, "If that's the case, then I'll thank Sir for his kindness first, I think I'd better use ordinary glass." ”

Gavin was intrigued and asked, "Can you ask why?" ”

Hareske replied without thinking: "Someone smashed my glass, which means that the affairs I handled have not reached real fairness and justice, so that all the valley people are satisfied, and changing to stronger glass has not solved any problems, the resentment in their hearts is still there, they can't break the glass, they will smash buildings or goods, and even shift their attention to me personally, instead of this, it is better to keep the glass for them to smash it and vent their grievances in their hearts."

At the same time, it also made me know that I still have shortcomings, and I should not be proud, and I should be more cautious and cautious in dealing with every dispute of the Gu people, so as to ensure true fairness and justice, so that everyone is satisfied with the result. ”
