Release that Witch - Chapter 519

[Chapter 512 New Friends and Old Friends]

There is no doubt that the king is a great treasure house.

Although it is very backward as a city, and those seemingly magnificent buildings are not worth mentioning in Roland’s eyes, it is still the brightest pearl in the Kingdom of Graycastle.

In terms of population, it has far more nobles than other cities – any noble whose family has fallen and lost his fief, the first thing he thinks of is to come to the king’s capital to find opportunities.

Coupled with the landless knights and knights conferred by the royal family, this ratio has been further increased. For example, among the residents of the inner city, nobles account for nearly 20% of the population, and they usually have elementary education and can read and write. It is a reserve official worthy of training.

After all, if you don’t have land and family business, you won’t be too resistant to new policies, and you have good insights and can accept new things faster than ordinary civilians.

In terms of industry, the capital is also a collection of great achievements. In addition to the merchant and craftsman guilds, it also has the largest alchemist association and a unique association of astrologers.

These talents are the targets of Roland’s covetousness, and the purpose of summoning Barov and Kemo Strire is to accommodate them as much as possible.

Finally, there is wealth… The various materials collected in the palace are enough to be worth ten Dukes of Lane, gold dragons, jewelry and gold and silver crafts are piled up in several warehouses, plus other important officials who collapsed with Timothy, the final statistics are inevitable would be a staggering number.

If all their property is confiscated, Neverwinter will have no worries about food and clothing for the next two or three years.

However, Roland didn’t intend to carry them all. Not to mention that it would take too much time, and taking over the capital also required a large amount of expenses to maintain stability.

There is no point in piling up money in the basement or throwing it out needlessly, it is justified to let it circulate at its own value.

If possible, Roland hopes to spend the first half of the year digesting the gains, but time waits for no one. Compared with the royal capital far in the middle, it is more important to be able to integrate with the Western Territory and the Southern Territory.

Not long after Iron Ax left, a personal guard reported, “Your Majesty, there is a businessman who claims to be Margaery outside the palace and wants to see you.”

Roland’s eyes lit up immediately, “Bring her to see me.”

When the businesswoman walked into the hall, he stood up from the throne with a smile, and stepped forward to greet her, “We meet again.”

“I never thought that the place where we would meet again would be the Royal Palace of Graycastle,” Margaret said. At the corner of the skirt, he bowed his knees and said, “You always surprise me, Your Highness Roland… No, I should call you Your Majesty now.”

“It’s okay, the coronation ceremony hasn’t been held anyway, I’m not a real king,” Roland waved his hand road.

“You are not in a hurry at all, you are worthy of being a king.” Margaret covered her mouth and said, “It seems that the royal capital will be full of business opportunities in the future, for the sake of the old man, you should take care of me more. ”

Of course, even if you don’t come to me, I will come to you,” he said with a hearty laugh. “You may not know that Border Town and Longsong Fortress have merged into one big city, and more steam engine factories have been opened.” With several production lines, the output can be almost tripled. There will be many new products in the future, and I guarantee that they are all unique and good things in the four kingdoms.”

“I have fully seen your creativity, and we can Talk in detail slowly,” Margaret nodded, “But today I’m not here for this, and I have other things to ask for.”

“Oh?” Roland said with great interest, “Tell me.”

“Can… Shall we talk in another place?” She glanced around and asked in a low voice.

Even with the financial resources of the chamber of commerce, it can’t be solved, and it has to be avoided. Could it be that the other party has really encountered some serious trouble?

The prince thought for a while, “Then go to my study.”

…

The study on the top floor of the crown tower originally belonged to Wimbledon III, and it was also the place the fourth prince yearned for most when he was a child—only here, he could see To his taciturn father.

And Roland chose this place because the terrain is high enough, it is not easy to set up a secret passage, and there is only a circular stone step leading to the top of the tower, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

“Can we talk now?”

Only he, Margaery, and Nightingale, who had hidden her figure, were left in the room.

“Sorry, Your Majesty, I was entrusted to tell you only one person…” She bowed solemnly, “Lord Lei Ting hopes to see you.”

“Thunder?” Roland was surprised, “That’s the one The most outstanding explorer in the fjords? Didn’t he…have died in a shipwreck?”

“Although a real explorer believes in the three gods, he will not easily fall into the arms of the three gods,” Margaery shook her head, ” He doesn’t want to reveal his whereabouts, especially he doesn’t want Lightning to know, that’s why I want to tell you secretly. Lord Thunder originally planned to contact you through Your Highness Tilly, but he didn’t expect that you would occupy the capital so quickly, so he Temporarily changed the decision.” The businesswoman paused, “He also said that an incredible scene was discovered west of the Shadow Islands, which is probably related to the ruins hundreds of years ago, and you will definitely be interested in knowing about it.”

“Wait… …He is in the capital now?”

“Yes, he just arrived yesterday, and after meeting me, he made this decision.”

“You don’t seem to be surprised that he came back from the dead at all,” Roland said strangely , “You already knew about this?”

Margaery nodded.

“So, the first time you went to Border Town to trade was not because of the guards I sent, but to look for Lightning?

” Magic Stone, Master Lei Ting confirmed her location through this method. He sent me there just to confirm whether she was safe. After learning that Lightning had settled down in your territory, he decided to hide his news and keep his daughter away. The Path of the Explorer.”

So it turned out that Roland immediately understood everything – he didn’t ask in detail about Lei Ting’s death at that time, and the other party’s answer was all truth in a sense, UU Reading www.sonicmtl. com Therefore, Nightingale didn’t notice anything strange, but concluded that she had no hostility towards witches, so there was a reason for this “coincidence”.

If there is no lightning, his own steam engine trade may not be able to open up trade routes so quickly.

“The capital is still in a whirlpool right now, so I’m unlikely to leave the palace,” Roland replied after thinking for a moment, “If Lei Ting wants to see me, you can bring him to the palace. Lightning revealed information about him.”

“Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty,” Margaret bowed again with a grateful expression, “I will tell him the answer as soon as possible.”

Let the attendants send the businesswoman away , Roland had just returned to the main hall when

he

heard a report from Qinweihui, “Your Majesty, a nobleman came outside the palace, claiming to be your old friend, clamoring to rush into the palace.”

The minor nobles affected by the offensive would come to investigate the situation sooner or later, but he didn’t expect it to be so soon.

Logically speaking, they should wait for a while to see the direction of the wind. Now that Timothy has not been killed, he shouldn’t take the initiative at this moment… And he was originally a prince, how could he be so familiar with a small nobleman?

“What’s his name?”

“Sir Yorko, Your Majesty.” (To be continued.)
