Chapter 20 A good leader can be a guiding light for a community

A letter asking for help made Raphael think a lot. According to his original plan, he wanted to coordinate the construction in the territory first. The situation is initially settled, and many places actually need to use themselves. However, as a very important partner of the Ice and Snow Country, he took good care of Yuki Ling during the time he was away.

And when Yuki Ling was attacked, they also quickly brought reinforcements, which was when they didn't know that they were staying in Yuki. Although the battle was over by the time they arrived, Raphael knew it well.

Not everyone will be willing to take a great risk to lend a helping hand to you, and the Ice Nation itself has a very tense relationship with the Ottore Empire, and such assistance may even cause a battle between the two countries! Raphael didn't think the White Star Council didn't understand this, but they did it anyway. For this alone, Raphael will never fail to live up to this sincere friendship!

The letter arrived two weeks later today, and it was clear that the matter was indeed a bit tricky, and they had to ask him for help. The friendship between the allies is strengthened and enhanced through cooperation, and Raphael feels that it is necessary for him to reach out to each other at such times.

"Where's the messenger?" Such important letters are often delivered by the messenger himself, showing the importance of the sender.

"She's been waiting in the reception room for some time, for you've just met with Lady Gloria Crane. So I didn't have a quick debrief. "This is also because Van Persie and the others have just taken over the work of the guard, and they are not very clear about the relationship between the Ice and Snow Nation and the Yuki Collar.

"Go and get him here, I have something to ask him." Those who do not know are not guilty, and Raphael does not blame them for this.

"Yes, Your Highness. I'll do it right away. ”

Van Persie also heard the flavor of Raphael's words, and after speaking, he pressed the knife on his side with his right hand, bent slightly and walked away quickly. The spirits transformed by Master Reginod are no different from ordinary people in every way, and people don't feel that they are transformed by the undead. This was verified in the two temples of the realm, where the priests were unaware of the anomaly.

Raphael put the letter aside, and the mage's hand held up the documents one by one, Raphael swept his gaze, and then quickly reviewed it. The efficiency was amazing, and before Van Persie brought him in, Rafael had already taken care of all the work that might take him a few days to do.

There was a soft knock on the door, "Come in." ”

Then came a woman dressed in white but with a starry drape at the hem, which was a very formal attire, "Gui'an, honorable Monsieur Raphael." It's an honor to have you with you. "Because of the good cooperative relationship with Yuki Ling, the friendship between the two places continues to rise. Although it is not explicitly stated above, anyone with a discerning eye can see it. Therefore, Raphael's reputation in the Ice and Snow Country has been brushed to the level of respect.

"Gui'an, ma'am. I'm sorry for snubbing you. Raphael was not arrogant, got up and saluted back, and said with a slight apology. made this woman feel flattered, she didn't expect this big man to be so approachable, not at all as murderous as rumored.

"Why does your country need my help? If you know any information, please let me know now, so that I can prepare for it and be able to take better measures. Raphael was serious, obviously he really took it very seriously. In his opinion, since he chose to help, he had to do it beautifully.

"I don't know exactly why, but it seems that something happened in Xiaoxue Valley." The messenger didn't seem to know exactly what was going on, and said in a tone that wasn't very sure.

"Xiaoxue Valley?" It was the first time Raphael had heard the name, and looked at the messenger in a slightly questioning tone.

Listening to Raphael's doubtful words, the messenger hurriedly sorted out his impressions of Xiaoxue Valley, "Xiaoxue Valley is a forbidden place in our ice and snow country, and every year during the Winter Festival, there will be changes in it, and each family will send family members here, and I really don't know exactly what the reason is. ”

Hearing this, Raphael rested his elbows on the table and propped his head in silent thought.

Xiaoxue Valley, a term that she seems to have heard from the conversation between Angelia and Tiffany, when it seemed that the reason why her family members were unable to help her was because of something that had been released in this place. And this matter seems to have something to do with himself at all, it seems that it is the restlessness of the wind elemental lord of the Smedley Cave, which has caused some big guy to wake up.

It looks like this, it's really my own trouble, and I can't avoid it even if I think about it.

No one bothered Raphael, both the captain of the guard, Van Persie, and the messenger watched him quietly, waiting for his decision.

"Don't worry, the Ice and Snow Country treats me with sincerity, and I won't cross the river and tear down the bridge. I agreed, but I couldn't leave right away because it was so sudden. In three days, I'll take care of the affairs of the territory, make some preparations, and then set off with you. What do you think? Raphael pointed to the stack of papers beside him and said apologetically.

"Of course, of course. After all, now that you are a great nobleman in charge, Mr. Raphael can agree, I think the members of the council will be very happy. I will not disagree with your actions in any way, so I will not continue to bother you. The messenger nodded hurriedly, and said very respectfully.

"Okay, Van Persie, help me take this lady to the guest room to rest. Remember, be the best hospitality. Raphael smiled and nodded.

"Understood, sir." Van Persie replied in the continental lingua franca, then waved his hand very gentlemanly, "Please, ma'am." ”

"Xiaoxue Valley? What would be the place I need to visit in person? That's it, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. Instead of speculating, it's better to be prepared. Raphael decided to give up thinking about these things and got up and went to the Valley of Yutetsu, where he should have made almost the same things that the Blackstone Dwarves had helped him make.

Gently rotating a vase on top of the shelf, one of the bookshelves near the wall slowly rotated, and Raphael stepped inside. This is something that already exists in the lord's mansion, and there are a lot of treasures in it that the previous city lord England Mu did not have time to take away, and the value is okay, and it is estimated that it can also be worth more than 100,000 gold soles.

After all, England has not been appointing the lord of Bartholomew City for a long time, and he is very capable of collecting this money. But now, inside it are the teleportation circles built by Raphael, which can quickly allow the high-level people who can be trusted to quickly reach various important locations.

The construction of this short-distance teleportation circle is very simple, as long as you build a tiny spatial tunnel, this technique was a compulsory course for beginners in the Dickie Arcane Empire. For Raphael, such a circle can be carved out in ten seconds.

Therefore, Raphael has worked tirelessly to design and portray in many places, and the pay and return are completely disproportionate. This short time of ten seconds can save ten days of travel, and it is a very cost-effective time in any case.

The first teleportation station was in a lumberyard, although you might think that Raphael was wasting his time, and wouldn't it be enough to depict a teleportation circle over a long distance?

Raphael could only spread his hands helplessly, and it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. Although the Dickie Arcane Empire's teleportation circle is indeed optimized in terms of materials, it is for an empire, and for Raphael's power at the moment, these things are still too precious to be so extravagant and wasteful.

He could still afford the price of a short-distance teleportation circle, and after several rounds like a bus stop, Raphael finally entered the valley of the Yutetsu. At this moment, the Yutetsu Valley looks even more hideous than it was at the beginning, and as an arsenal of the territory, there is even an extra layer of hardened armor like steel on the city walls, which can be said to be armed to the teeth!

"My lord, why do you have time to come to the Valley of Yutetsu today?" One of Luther Dew's most important apprentices heard the news and looked at the lord who was admiring the changes in the Valley of the Setter.

"Jeffrey, good build. No wonder Luther kept telling me that you were very good, but now it seems that this evaluation is much lower. "Everything in the valley has changed, and there is even a kobold training base, in which kobolds train the iron men in front of them to attack. Raphael even saw kobolds educating kobolds who had been absorbed from the kobold mountains.

On the farmland, there are not only the people, but also the kobold people who are reclaiming, sowing and watering the fertile land, and this season is the season suitable for the growth of winter rice and Shu, which is an agricultural crop similar to corn. However, the taste is sweeter, and the size and production are also better.

"Lord Lord, I have won the award, these are all things that the mentor ordered before, I just completed it one by one according to the mentor's plan, and I really don't deserve such a high evaluation from you."

Jeffrey said out loud without any credit, he was a young man who still looked very immature, a child of a farmer's family, honest and serious. When he knew that he had the talent of a trainer, he put all this energy into it, and he did his best.

"Not bad, not bad. Hearing Luther say, if you are in love with a female student of the same period, I will be your witness. I'll ask Jarvis to help you organise it. ”

Looking at Jeffrey's somewhat shy smile, Raphael patted him on the shoulder and laughed.

Entering the dwarven armory, the black iron dwarves were very busy shuttling through it. They were very satisfied with Yalvis's arrangement, and most importantly, there was a dwarven forge in it! This kind of thing that only exists in legends appeared so real in front of their eyes that everyone couldn't help but squeeze their heads and wanted to enter it for a forge.

I've heard that Jarvis has made a rule that only those hard-working and well-behaved Black Iron Dwarves have this opportunity. Let these black iron dwarves all look like they are studying in the militarized academy, and they spend their time in front of the forge every day, and they can't wait to sleep in the forge shop.

"Your lord, you've come at the right time, and you're almost done with what you commissioned us to build last time." Lily Blackstone walked up in good spirits, and all the worries of these days disappeared the moment she entered Yutetsu Valley. Although the butler gave them a beating, the supplies far exceeded the supplies of Blackstone Ridge, and the comfortable environment made these Blackstone Dwarves quickly accept this new residence.

Without the resistance and rebellion that Raphael imagined, this was something that Raphael had expected. This is that Raphael does not know how attractive a dwarven forge is to dwarves, as long as they do not have a blood feud with Raphael, these dwarves will be happy to accept the drive.

"My lord, I want to see if I can plant Dongdong fruit trees in the Xitie Valley, I don't know if you can approve it." It can be seen that Lily Blackstone still has a lot of memories of Blackstone Ridge, and when she left Blackstone Ridge, she grabbed a handful of Dongdong fruit tree seeds. When I said this, I also had a thought.

"Of course, this is your home. Forever and ever, don't think I'm just using you as a tool for forging. From the moment you stepped into my Yuki Territory, you were already my people. I will not restrict your freedom too much, as long as it is my Raphael Abraham's territory, you will definitely be treated with sufficient courtesy. ”

One with a black face, one with a white face.

The beating of Jarvis is necessary, but the words of Raphael, the principal, are also essential. This is to appease and buy, and at the same time, it is also very subtle to tell them that if you leave my Raphael Abraham's territory, then your life and death will no longer have anything to do with me, and it is your own choice to be caught, sold, or killed.

"Thank you for your attention, I will convey these words to all the clansmen." Lily Blackstone saluted Raphael, and the clever patriarch could naturally hear the meaning of Raphael's words. But she knew very well that Raphael's words were not entirely intimidating them.

The status of dwarves in human society does seem to be very high, but there are also three, six, nine and so on. A dwarf who is not a well-known race, he is still the Kinsor in the eyes of the slave traders. Unfortunately, the Blackstone Dwarves happen to fall into the category of unnamed inferior races.

So, Raphael did provide them with protection. Correspondingly, they do need to work for Raphael. And only the Blackstone Dwarves who can see this clearly are lucky enough to stay in the Xitie Valley, and there are some people who can't see the situation clearly, and their work place is only on Poison Dragon Island.

"So why people always say that a good leader can be a guiding light for a community, and now I really think that is a brilliant statement."
