Chapter 392 Development Ideas

In this world, "money", "fame" or "happiness" and "happiness" can all be obtained through hard work, but "time" cannot be grasped no matter how hard you work.

I still vividly remember the scene of my father walking through the city gate in silver armor when I was a child. More than ten years have passed, although the scenery of Houlier City has not changed much, but the father in front of him has entered his twilight years and is about to step into the frightening darkness.

Sally once thought that she was strong enough to ignore everything, but at this time, she was vulnerable to "time".

"It's fine to stay with me, Rose Cross, what big things do you have to ask for?" Angmar smiled, and gently wiped away Sally's tears, "Some big things have happened in the territory during this time ...here, I remember when you were a child, you liked to hear stories told by bards. What was your favorite part called?

"It's called 'Nibelungen Song, Father.'"

Sally held Angmar's cold hands, and replied obediently.

"Yes, I still remember that you always asked me if I could defeat the dragon." Angmar closed her eyes slightly, recalling the scene when her daughter pestered her when she was a child, and said with a smile: "You were only four years old at that time, you were serious They say you marry whoever can defeat the dragon, right?"

"At that time, I didn't know what a giant dragon was. I just thought it was a little stronger than the wild wolf in the forest."

Sally still remembered these episodes, wiped away the tears on her face, and replied with a smile, "Father, don't be a fool, what happened to the territory?"

"Someone really... killed a dragon."

"How is it possible?" Sally didn't believe it at all, but seeing that her father's expression was not a joke, she asked hesitantly: "Really, really? Who is so powerful? I haven't heard of dragons in the territory... even None of the Wurms."

"The whereabouts of the dragons are not something we can spy on, but the result is here, I have nothing to say - the body of the dragon is now parked in Elsa Village."

"Elsa Village? The dragon slayer is... is..."

Sally's smile suddenly froze on her face.

"Who else but him?" The Duke didn't notice his daughter's expression, he hammered his leg lightly, and said in a low voice, "Count how many great things he has done and how many enemies he has defeated in the past year? It's no surprise that something like this happened to him."

"By the way, Roddy stayed with you for a while in the Temple, right?"

"Well, but then he was in a hurry, so he... went away first.

"

Sally tried her best to keep her tone calm, but her heart was very contradictory... Father knew that he liked Roddy, and he had never objected to such a relationship, but how could he explain the quarrel with Roddy to him now?

After Rody leaves like that, will he forgive himself?

This kind of emotional rift really cannot be repaired with a few words. For the first time, Sally lost any confidence in herself, and facing Angmar, she didn't want him to feel any loss or sadness.

So she chose to hide it in the end—"He told me that he was busy with the affairs of Elson City, and he would come to me when he was done."

"Young man, he is always busy. The city he found is really good, but..."

Angmar then sighed softly: "It stands to reason that there shouldn't be such an anomaly in the kingdom."

"If it had been fifteen years earlier, I would have been the first to think about eradicating him. But now—the times have changed, and internal and external troubles have also made the kingdom's stability no longer exist. I must fully support him, because if I don't do this, Ai Forta may just be in ruins."

Sally never thought that her father would comment on Rody like this, but she later understood the reason: a "rookie" who holds military power, resources and a major city is extremely dangerous for the old rulers. Because no one knows if such a guy will choose to swallow everything.

"The Luciferon family can't just decline like this." Angmar looked at Sally and sighed softly: "The biggest regret in my life is that I didn't see the birth of a new member of the family."

Sally held her breath all of a sudden, she understood what her father meant - what the older generation hoped most was for their children and grandchildren to carry forward the family business, but Angmar had lost this opportunity forever.

He has no chance to meet the next generation of the family.

The atmosphere between the father and daughter fell silent. A few seconds later, Angmar asked tentatively, "Do you... think Roddy is suitable?"

Finally, I still asked this question.

Sally felt her heart throbbing, but there was a shy expression on her face: "I, I think it's useless..."

"Call him over and ask if it's okay? Dragon Slayer Roddy, heh, this guy is destined to be a legend in the future."

Angmar didn't notice the strangeness of his daughter, and his laughter was hearty. Although he couldn't see the scene of full children and grandchildren, but now everything is developing in the direction he expected, and that's enough.

June 30th.

For "Viper Cross", although the battle in Brill Forest was a complete victory, they have undoubtedly become the party that lost the most in this war

The casualties of the soldiers were not a concern, but the loss of the "Viper's Kiss" scepter made the Pope angry—the scepter, which cost countless manpower and material resources to wake up, was taken away by a group of unknown people in the battle. And after the incident, he returned to the "temple" safely all the way.

Speaking of such a thing is like slapping the Pope's face loudly.

The scepter placed in the "Holy Temple" is difficult to regain, even the Pope of the "Viper Cross" once gave up hope. However, just today, a piece of news came from the confidant of the undercover "Rosicrucian" that rekindled hope for the Pope...

The "Kiss of the Viper" scepter has been "activated" by an unknown priest.

For the pope who understands the "kiss of the viper", the artifact with consciousness will "select" the user, even if the strength is as strong as Cardinal Goethe, if he is not recognized by the artifact, he will not be able to exert his strength at all .

And from the history recorded in the "Viper's Cross", every user who is recognized by the "Viper's Kiss" will be the "savior" who pushes the sect to the peak

But what does it mean when the scepter recognizes a priest of the Rosicrucian sect?

When most people think it is "ridiculous", the Pope believes that this is an "opportunity" - an opportunity to really disintegrate or severely damage the "Rosicrucian".

So after the news was confirmed, the "Viper Cross", which had been dormant again, finally made a new move.

With the pope's order, a ten-member team left the eastern border of the kingdom and headed for Efta in the northwest.

June 31st, Elson City, inside the Pasha'er Magic Tower.

"The temperature control inside the building? This magic circle does have it, but... I think it is very unnecessary."

In the Pashaer Demon Tower, Camilla, who has adapted to the role of "aide" looked at Rody with some surprise, and said with a puzzled face: "I think the first batch of crystals manufactured are used to open the construction circle in terms of equipment manufacturing. Would be more appropriate. To dry temperature control... Isn't that a complete waste of energy for a ghost city?"

Wearing a red robe, she looks like a "strong woman" at this time, making Roddy feel like meeting a "strong female colleague" in the office—although he is the lord of the city and Camilla is a subordinate in name, but When encountering problems and disagreements, Camila always has to argue with reason, and she is very imposing.

"It's a waste if no one lives there, but if someone lives there, the energy is life-saving."

"Help? I don't understand what you mean."

Camilla frowned, as if she wanted Roddy to explain clearly, "Could it be that this winter will be full of people? Unless there is a large-scale migration in Efta, this situation is simply impossible."

"You're on to something."

Rody handed over a plan written in advance, "The specific reasons are here. If there is anything you don't understand, please tell me at any time. Before winter comes, it is best to make these preparations... Can our city be as soon as possible?" development, in one fell swoop."

"This..." After quickly browsing the plan, Camilla showed some surprise, but shook her head: "This is an uncertain thing at all, how can it be planned as an established fact?"

"Did you forget what I gave you?"

Rody couldn't explain his ability to see the future, so he put on a pretense and said, "That shadow dragon told me, she won't be bored enough to lie."

Although this explanation was far-fetched, Camilla reluctantly accepted it after thinking about it, and then the two began to discuss other issues—and as an arcane genius and a knowledgeable researcher of high elf culture, Camilla was In the past few days, I got to know Roddy again.

Because she had never seen anyone have such a "weird" idea as Rody.

Ordinary lords never vigorously develop their military power, because that means "military violence", and they will starve themselves to death in a short time; Low.

If a lord does both of these things, no matter how you look at it, he is killing himself.

However, this is Rody's future development thinking for his own territory: use "pf" to stimulate the growth of resources and wealth, lay a good foundation for "pp", and use war to support war in the future chaos to accelerate development.

pp takes Soderol as the core, leading the conscription and basic training in Paarl, providing equipment, advanced training, and job transfer from Elson City, aiming to create the most powerful combat force, and no longer need to take care of it anything else.

And p is a little more complicated, but to put it bluntly, it is the idea of ​​"mining": the pf team with Rody as the core specializes in opening up some dungeons or areas with scarce resources, and establishes a trade hub similar to "Elsa Village" to "less To earn a large amount of resources and funds by means of investing more and returning more, to improve the level and strength of the top team, and to lay a solid foundation for all-round development.

This sounds a little nonsense, but it is actually the operating structure of several super-large "player guilds" in "Cracked Earth". Luo Di was fortunate enough to have a basic understanding of it, so he directly copied it at this time as the development policy of "rapid development"-although it is difficult to maintain for a long time, within three years, such a plan is definitely better than step-by-step farming and conscription Much more effective.
