Chapter 42: Chapter 42: The Good News

Coming out of Aslan's room, Generic walked on Billy Avenue alone. Billy Avenue is the central street of Billy City. Although it was already night, the lights had been brightly lit for a long time, showing its prosperity.

With the cool wind blowing at night, Genarido also calmed down quickly. After much consideration, he decided to help Aslan. He knew very well that this matter must cooperate with Aslan. His current limit is already there. It is impossible to obtain the Holy Spring of Elements by relying on one's own strength.

Not to mention that if he handled it well this time, his status in the teacher's eyes would be greatly improved, or it might really be possible to become another neutral faction under the teacher's command with Aslan.

In public and private, he must help Aslan.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was still only dim, Aslan returned to Merlot Town with his knight guards and tens of thousands of catties of grain.

It's not that he doesn't want to buy more, but relying on the ability of the Tianping Chamber of Commerce, it is not easy to raise such a batch of food in a few days, and Aslan is not worried, because he will go to Billy City again in a short time, as long as he can solve the problem for a while. Just need it.

When I went back, I was not in such a hurry as when I came, but Aslan was still very dissatisfied with the potholed road.

A great man in the previous life often said that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads.

"If we repair this road, how much money and manpower will we need?" Aslan muttered dissatisfiedly.

Arthur bit the bullet and said: "At least tens of thousands of gold coins, thousands of workers and a year's time."

Aslan nodded, just in front of Mount Copeland.

"Do we have to go around Copeland Mountain every time we go back?" Aslan looked at the not-so-high Copeland Mountain and asked curiously.

"It has to be detoured. Don't look at the height of Copeland Mountain. It is already close to 500 meters above sea level. Because the road is rugged, it will take more time and effort than detours to actually walk."

Arthur continued to explain that recently he discovered that the master had a very big brain, and he was suddenly worried that the Lord Lord would ask them to hollow out Mount Copeland.

"En!" Aslan nodded. In his previous life, he did not dig tunnels in Mount Copeland because his strength and economy did not allow him to do so, but he is different in this life.

Backed by the Marquis of Medea and backed by a huge group of magicians, he is fully confident in digging a tunnel in Copeland Mountain. By then, it will be a straight line from Merlot Town to Billy City, and the distance is only 800 kilometers , coupled with the convenience of driving on the cement road, one can go back and forth in one day.

Here, Aslan had to admit that the speed of war horses in other worlds, traveling thousands of miles a day was standard, and those war horses with the blood of monsters or mythical beasts could double their speed, or even more.

Aslan couldn't help laughing at a superb horse with a speed of 300 kilometers per hour. It was comparable to the Bugatti Veyron in his previous life.

When Aslan came back with more than a dozen grain convoys, it caused a lot of commotion in Merlot Town. They didn't expect the lord to come back with grain so soon. Although it was obvious at a glance that the grain was not much, but It is also enough to support for a period of time, especially some idle hunters have begun to organize people to go to the forest to harvest those wild succulents, and also increase a lot of food reserves for the warehouse.

At this time, the town of Melo can be said to be united as one, united as one.

Aslan jumped off his horse, and Wilson and Essien hurried over.

"My lord!"

"Well! Go in and talk about something." Aslan waved his hand and said.

Both of them had reserved and dignified expressions on their faces.

Entering Aslan's office, Aslan took off the belt around his waist and hung it on the hanger together with the long sword. He also threw the aristocratic robe on the back of the chair casually, and then stretched contentedly.

He really doesn't like nobleman's robes, it's fine to wear them, and it's very cumbersome to move around. The most important thing is that they are baggy and uncomfortable, not as comfortable as the short-sleeved T-shirt he's wearing now.

"You guys are so eager to find me, what happened?" Aslan sat back in his seat, changed his laziness at the beginning, and asked seriously with sharp eyes.

"The mayor of Max Village, Johnson, wants to meet the lord. His subordinates think that Max Village wants to attach himself to the lord and become your leader." Wilson said with a smile on his face.

Max Village is the most powerful village in the Melo area, bar none.

Its population has exceeded 3,000 people, and it is not too much to call it a small town. The armed forces in the village are also very strong, and even the Kaimen Bandit Group dare not make a move.

Aslan immediately thought of the gray-haired old man, who was an intermediate magician.

It might be nothing in Billy City, after all, it is the magical holy land of the Melox province, but it can be regarded as a character in other areas.

"Okay, Wilson, you can arrange it. We must show the importance we attach to Max Village." Aslan said with a smile.

If Max Village is taken over and the original population is added, the population of Melo Town will exceed 10,000.

This is a great happy event, and with the treasures of Max Village in front, I believe that people hiding in those remote mountains and remote areas in the Merlot area will gradually get the news.

Aslan is very clear about the population of the Melo area. In his previous life, when Aslan completely controlled the Melo area, he even dispatched the army to conduct a census.

The total population exceeds 500,000, which does not include the people who later immigrated from other regions.

"Essien, do you have any good news to tell me!" Aslan asked in a good mood.

"Yes! My lord, do you still remember the scar-faced bandit? He was willing to lead his men to surrender, and he was willing to persuade the people in the cottage to surrender." Essien also said complacently.

"Oh!" Aslan naturally knew about the Kaimen Bandit Group's cottage. When the Kaimen Bandit Group was defeated in his previous life, he also annexed the population of the cottage.

There are a total of 6,000 old and young women and children in the cottage of the Kaimen Bandit Group, and the ratio of women to children accounts for four-fifths. Almost every bandit can be assigned a daughter-in-law, and there are several strong professionals. a wife.

At that time, Lancelot still laughed at whether the robbers of the Kaimen Bandit Group would be a group of people who could not marry a wife.

Seeing Aslan's silence, Essien thought that Aslan didn't want to accept the unstable factors in the Kaimen bandit group's cottage, so he became a little anxious.

"My lord! Those people are the family members of the robbers, but many of them were robbed. They don't have any sense of belonging to the bandit group, and many even have hatred. There is no need to worry about their dissent."

Hearing Essien's explanation, Aslan couldn't help laughing. He was just thinking about how many people there are in the cottage of the Kaimen Bandit Group. After all, he miscalculated the number of the Kaimen Bandit Group last time. I don't want to make this mistake again.
