Act 6 Letter(6)
"The expansion I'm talking about is aimed at the wilderness. Use the power of the whole country to open up new territories in the wilderness."
Brando answered word by word, then he stopped what he was doing, raised his head, and looked at Andrew, who looked at him with a complicated expression. The Druid elder took a deep breath, but felt a little unbelieving:
"But the law of nature lies in cycles. As a lord of a place, you can naturally make things easier. But just like a force, where there is oppression, there is resistance. You pushing all this with your own power is certainly a good thing for the entire world of order. It's a good thing, but others may not agree with it." The other party paused and replied in a different way: "Opening up the boundaries of civilization is a dangerous and difficult thing, especially today, Lord, you will risk being rejected by most people. Are you opposed to the risk of pursuing this?"
"In fact, it's not that difficult. Interests always drive people to act." Brando replied. He couldn't help but think that just like gold and silver drove Portugal and Spain to rush to the sea, he was just repeating the path taken by Prince Enrique. What's more, apart from the temple, only he probably knows how much value there is in the wilderness. It’s just that the temple has to measure the ratio between investment and return, and he has a ready example.
"The rewards obtained from the wilderness will naturally become the driving force for Eruin to move forward further. And people are always forgetful. When there is gold in hand, only a few people will see the risks that come with it," the young lord Answer: "Not to mention, when most people's lives improve, they won't want to go back to the past."
"You are so sure that your investment will yield returns, and it is common to make ends meet." Andrew retorted: "Once there is a setback at the beginning of the plan, it will be a devastating blow to your entire idea."
Brando smiled secretly in his heart. The other party was already thinking on his side, which meant that he had persuaded them. After all, the temptation of this matter to Druids is inherent and almost irresistible. "That's why I need you, plus my experience," he replied: "With careful planning and a little luck, everything comes with risks. You see that individual pioneering behaviors often fail because they There is no strong support behind it, and this support is the support of the territories and lords, or even the entire kingdom."
Brando thought to himself that in fact, some big lords occasionally did spontaneous pioneering behavior. However, with so many enemies, no one dared to invest too much in unknown fields. Therefore, this kind of investment is often a one-time investment, never to be returned. Over time, no one is interested in the wilderness except real gamblers.
But this is also because most people do not have a clear understanding of the wilderness. However, he has an advantage, that is, he knows that his investment will definitely yield returns. This is the advantage of experience.
Andrew was silent for a long time, and finally he nodded: "Okay, Lord, you have convinced me. If you can really do all this, what do you need us to do?"
"It's not what I need you to do,
Brando replied: "But you have to protect your fruits, you will understand." It’s not just me who is ambitious in this world. You haven’t really seen the greed of other lords. "
Elder Druid nodded, "I understand," he replied: "I have to say, my lord, you are the best lobbyist I have ever seen."
Brando smiled slightly. He picked up the two letters from the table: "There is one last thing I want to ask you."
"Say." Andrew took a breath, and Brando's previous words even made him a little excited. If it can really be done, it can be said to be an earth-shaking change for the entire world of order. If the benevolent Ek is the biggest pioneer after the Year of Chaos, then this young man will probably dominate the history of the next era.
If he can succeed.
"Send two letters for me."
"Letter? Who is it for?" Elder Druid asked.
"You can reach Port Gris east of here from the nearest distance through the forest. Some of my subordinates are there at the moment." Brando replied: "Send this letter to a man named Leto, the copper dragon. On his hand, the red copper dragon is his name, I believe you can’t get it wrong.”
Andrew took the letter, read it, and then asked: "Is there anything else?"
Brando shook his head: "There is nothing else. The only thing left is to be proved by time. I have other things, so I won't send them to you. I wish you success -"
Andrew nodded, "Then farewell." He took the two of them and bowed deeply to the young lord, then opened the door and went out. Fuluo, who was on the side, raised his head and watched the three Andrews leaving. He turned around and asked, "Lord, will you give them the letter as well?" Although the wild elf girl always knew that Brando was doing everything right, but But it is inevitable to feel uneasy about strangers.
Because she didn't understand why Brando would trust three people who had never met before. Not only did he entrust Funia to each other, but he also entrusted the matter of life and death to the other party's hands. Even if the other party is a Druid, what should we do if this identity is fake?
But Brando naturally couldn't explain the reason to her. His understanding of the Druid in the Amber Sword could only be explained by the wizard's knowledge. But on the other hand, he can't say that he actually knows these guys, can he? Asked where they met? That was more than ten years later. After the Holy Stone Conference, he gained the reputation of the Deadwood Council for a long time just for the series of dungeons and tasks in the ruins of Valhalla. In that era, Grudin had long been wiped out, and it was the most powerful era after Eruin's resurgence. Speaking of it now, I'm afraid no one would believe it except a madman.
He thought for a moment and replied: "The copper dragon Leto has actually been in contact with Freya. It is not troublesome to send a letter to Princess Griffiin."
The elf girl stared at him. "You know that's not what I'm talking about," she said angrily, "Lord."
Brando smiled.
"Of course I know what you are talking about, Miss Elf," he replied, "but you also have to admit that I know the druids better than you. So believe me, they are telling the truth, 'Prophecy in the Forest' 'This time has come a long time ago. The respect of the Druids for Niya is far beyond your imagination. Delivering a letter to me is just an outside activity. Besides, I believe Andrew will regard this matter as a test. . For them, everything I said before is a vision that they have never imagined," Brando thought for a while and added: "If you can't put yourself in their values, it will be difficult for you to understand their views on this matter. How seriously you take things seriously.”
"But."
"No more," Brando simply made up an excuse: "Besides, that is a consideration in itself, and I also have backup means."
"Backup method?" Fuluo looked at her suspiciously, thinking why didn't she know? You must know that the two letters that Andrew just took away were copied by Antitina. She didn't believe that Brando would prepare more. After getting along for so long, she gradually began to understand this young man.
"Of course," Brando couldn't help but look at the elf lady on the side, but Fuluo remained expressionless as always. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly thought of an idea, so he asked: "How is the material statistics going?"
Flo lowered her head and looked at him, a look of disdain flashing in her eyes. He thought about interrupting a conversation with a girl like this, not to mention that he was his summoned creature. However, she looked down upon her, so she still opened the book in her hand and answered straightforwardly: "We have checked the barns and found that there are almost 50,000 bushels of grain stored in the barn, which is enough to support the entire city's consumption for three to four months. However, the material warehouse is basically in short supply. The quantity of stone, pig iron and wood is far less than the records, and the specific direction of the flow cannot be traced——"
Deficits are normal. Judging from Grudin's ability, it's a blessing that he didn't turn the Fir Barony into a black forest. But the people who really want to thank are the druids in the forest, although the former may not know that there is such a group of people in the forest.
Brando shook his head, "The shortage of stone and wood must be solved. Fir City is not safe now. The walls damaged in the battle the day before yesterday must be repaired and reinforced immediately." He couldn't help but rub his hands at the thought of this. Forehead, in the 'Lord Mode' in the game, materials were all quantified. This method of convenience for players caused him huge trouble at this moment. For example, in the game, reinforcing a section of city wall requires 2 units of stone and wood——
But Brando has no idea how much two units of stone and wood should be in reality. As for consulting Antitina and others for their opinions, it is a pity that although Antitina is knowledgeable, she is not necessarily omniscient and omnipotent. Especially for this kind of thing, I am afraid that I must consult professional masonry or management-related officials.
But the crux of the problem is that Fir City is in short supply of both masonry workers and officials. As for the captured garrison captains, firstly they were unwilling to do things for her, and secondly, most of them were recruited from mercenaries by Grudin, and they couldn't answer these professional questions at all. In fact, they don't know as much as Tiger Bird, although Tiger Bird is not that much better than Antitina.
Brando felt a headache when he thought of this problem.
He shook his head and said: "In short, how much stock do we have? Is it enough to repair the city wall?"
Fuluo glanced at him and thought, my lord, you chopped off half of the south city gate with a sword just to show off, and you didn't ask for it. However, she complained in her heart, but she replied expressionlessly: "Sir, in fact, to put it simply, it is basically the same as no——"
"What!?"
