Although the knight didn't understand the strange words that came out of Gordon's mouth, she understood at least one thing: the young lord was going to find another way to solve Strindberg's problems.

Sigrid decided to suppress the urge to speak, and instead of insisting on her own opinions, she quietly observed what Gordon would do—a rare feat for a fiery knight.

"So this time, what kind of surprise can Mr. Mage, whom Miss Ji'er particularly admires, give me?" The knight thought to herself.

Although Gordon's cousin had already convinced Sigrid in the battle that had completely annihilated the elite cavalry of the Aldrich family not long ago, she still hoped that the other party would be able to show his skills again. It was as if the better Gordon was, the more honored she was.

"That's not right...... Even if that guy achieves something, what does it have to do with me, why should I be happy...... He...... He didn't do much for me except the last time he bullied me at the banquet in Blackiron and made me weak all day......"

The more Sigrid thought about it, the more irritated she became, remembering the last time she was held in Gordon's arms, and a wave of shame welled up in her heart, making her thoughts even more chaotic.

"Observe this castle for yourselves, I'm leaving!" Sigrid said suddenly, and then, without waiting for the others to answer, she grabbed the horse's belly and galloped away.

"What's wrong with Miss Knight?" Lady Dinah asked.

Gordon looked at the female knight who was looking for trouble and left suddenly, and shook her head in confusion: "I don't know either. Maybe I'm worried about Ji'er's injury, so I'm upset. ”

After speaking. He then ascended into the sky using the levitation technique and memorized the overhead view of the whole of Strindberg.

After landing on the ground, Gordon gave Lady Dinah another lecture, and then returned to the makeshift camp. Just as he arrived, the messenger sent by the King of Hyperven also arrived.

Not only that, Theodore, who only rotated with Chuck yesterday and served as the garrison of the Isthmus of Cork, also personally escorted dozens of heavy freight carriages to Cloud Scale City.

"...... are on these wagons," Gordon asked.

The emissary of House Aldrich said, "Lord Earl Hyperven. My master has already agreed to your request, and this time I will send ten tons of grain first. The follow-up supplies and the shipbuilders you have requested are being prepared at a rapid pace. ”

"The King of Hywen is really simple." Gordon smiled slightly, not too surprised, as if this situation had been expected.

Although he was the one who was blackmailed, the messenger did not dare to be angry, and his attitude became more respectful. Because before coming. Abel told him again and again that he must not anger Gordon. Freeman, lest the other side turn his anger on Simon.

"As you can see, the King of Hyperven has begun to fulfill his promise. Please be sincere, my lord. I don't have a high demand, I just need to ask Master Simon to come out and meet me. Let me confirm his safety. The messenger saluted.

"Reasonable request, of course." After Gordon finished speaking, he asked Woodlow, who was guarding the captives, to escort Mr. Roshan up.

"Mr. Hernandez!" Simon. As soon as Aldrich saw the messenger, his feelings immediately became excited. I want to pounce on him and give him a hard hug.

Luckily, Woodlaw intervened in time to save Mr. Hernandez. The messenger was not allowed to suffocate in a pile of fat meat. He flicked his spear sideways, and with a flick of it, Simon was catapulted two meters away and fell to the ground.

The messenger Hernandez wiped his sweat and smiled at Gordon embarrassedly: "Young Master Simon is very healthy, except for losing a little weight, there is nothing serious. Thank you for your good faith, Lord Earl. ”

"It doesn't matter. Simon. Except for the fact that Mr. Aldrich consumed a little more food, he was quite honest in other aspects and did not bother. Such a hostage is something that every kidnapper likes. Gordon still had a formulaic smile on his face.

Hearing that this dignified lord of the Haiwen Peninsula actually compared himself to a kidnapper, Hernandez was stunned for a moment before he said, "There is another reluctant request below. I'd like to be able to spend a few days in Cloud Scale City and visit my old friends, I don't know if Lord Earl will allow it. ”

"Of course." Gordon patted the other party's shoulder affectionately: "Mr. Hernandez, you are also a citizen under my rule, as long as you do not break the law and commit crimes, of course you have the right to free passage." ”

Hernandez didn't expect the other party to agree so readily, and hurriedly nodded in thanks.

After seeing Hernandez off, Woodlaw approached Gordon with a spear on his shoulder: "Your Excellency, you agreed to the other party so lightly?" He must be unkind, and wants to take this opportunity to get our information. ”

"Of course I do. In fact, Mr. Hernandez is probably just a man of the right place. After the battle on the Isthmus of Cork, the Aldrich family must have sent a large number of men to the southern part of the peninsula. Coupled with the eyeliner that was already lurking, the shape around us now is very complicated. So one more Hernandez doesn't matter much. You go to Cloud Scale City to inform Yang Qi and ask him to pay attention to this guy, and report the situation at any time. ”

"Understood, my lord." Woodlaw saluted, and escorted Master Simon away.

Gordon called Dullina to his side: "I have all five hundred craftsmen in my hands to you, and you must build a warehouse capable of holding five hundred tons of supplies." The Aldrich family's supplies will be delivered in 6 years, and we can't go without a place to put them. In particular, the Haiwen Peninsula has a rainy spring, so we have to prevent the grain from getting damp and moldy. ”

Durina, who is now Count Hyperven's magical assistant, immediately nodded and said, "I see, my lord." ”

After the Battle of High Rock Castle, Gordon took the time to instruct Durina on Arcane knowledge as much as possible, and from time to time based on the experience in the "Ancient Era", he prepared some potions that could temporarily increase his mental power to increase the effect of meditation, and gave Durina to take. With the help of these measures, Dullina finally broke through the bottleneck. Promoted to the rank of One Ring Mage.

However, although he got rid of the status of a mage's apprentice, he became a full-fledged mage. But Dudley is still a rookie in Gordon's eyes, and his combat power is even more unbearable. Anyway, the two spell slots of the newly promoted First Ring Mage, even if they were all prepared with magic missiles, would not be of much use on the battlefield, so Gordon simply let him start learning various auxiliary spells commonly used in life.

By the time he traveled all the way south from the imperial capital to the Haiwen Peninsula, Dalina had been able to achieve a success rate of more than 70 percent. Give an object less than eight cubic meters of volume, constant drying, thermostat, insect repellent, rat repellent aura, and so on.

It was for this reason that Gordon entrusted him with the task of building a warehouse.

"In addition to the necessary materials to build the warehouse, you let those craftsmen harvest an additional batch of timber in the forest, and I will use it for other purposes." Gordon added.

After Dullina left, Gordon called Douro to his side: "In order to solve the problem of Strindberg, I have discussed it with Lady Dinah. There's a magic ritual that needs to be done, and I want you to help me buy the items on this list. ”

Gordon handed Douro a piece of paper with various alchemical materials written on it.

The chubby shopkeeper glanced at it and flicked the paper: "No problem." But my lord, there is one more question. ”

"You say."

"I walked around Cloud Scale City yesterday, mainly to see if there were any business opportunities here," Douro said. Not much of a gain though. Still, I have some questions. Many of the indigenous people of the peninsula who trade in the city's markets are still in an uncivilized state. They did not recognize the currency of the empire at all, and were still in the most primitive state of barter. So the gold coins in your hand may not be too bright. ”

Is it possible that you can't buy anything with gold coins? Could this be the legendary state of "being so poor that only money remains"?

Gordon shook his head with a wry smile, and said to Douro again: "Since those people like to barter. Then barter. You can withdraw our baggage at will, in addition. The King of Hyperven will continue to deliver food. I think the aborigines should be in need. ”

Duro nodded and said, "Don't worry, those aborigines have never seen the world, just a porcelain bowl and a shovel, all of which are regarded as treasures." In the future, when we open our own maritime trade routes, I am afraid that we will be able to exchange precious stones, gold and silver from the hands of these aborigines just by importing all kinds of daily necessities. When the time comes, it will definitely make a lot of money. ”

Looking at the other party's excited face, Gordon knew that the business switch in Douro's heart had been turned on. For him, the peninsula is an endless treasure trove waiting to be discovered.

After Douro left, Gordon let out a long breath: "It's finally over, it's like playing a simulation game, after giving the order, it's time to triple the time and wait slowly." ”

However, during the time of waiting, Gordon was not idle. In addition to his ongoing quest to study the arcane, he had to draw drawings and use the knowledge in his mind to build a batch of machines.

…………

Just as Gordon had predicted, Hernandez, the emissary of the King of Hyven, came to Cloud Scale City more than just to visit his old friends. On the orders of the King of Hyperven, he roamed the city every day to find out what was going on in Gordon. In particular, how the other side deals with Strindberg is the focus of his attention.

But what is strange is that Gordon did not move again except for a visit to Strindberg on the day of Hernandez's arrival. The titular Lord of the Peninsula had remained in the camp for seven days since Hernandez arrived in Cloudscales.

Gordon did not enter Cloud Scale City, and then began to put order in order, taking the seat of the Haiwen Peninsula under control, nor did he summon the local powerful people to win over and consolidate his own power.

To put it simply, the Earl of Hyperven did nothing after he arrived in Cloud Scale City.

If it weren't for the fact that in the Battle of the Isthmus of Cork, the other side directly annihilated the cavalry team painstakingly built by the King of Hyven in one fell swoop, I am afraid that Hernandez would have thought that this young lord was also like several special administrators who had previously taken office, only seeking self-preservation and not seeking to do anything.

Early in the morning, Hernandez left his temporary residence. He walked the dirty, noisy, and foul streets as usual, and looked around from time to time.

"It's really haunting...... As soon as I went out, I was jacked again. Hernandez said to himself.

Although Hernandez served as an emissary under the King of Hyperven. But his real profession is an arcane shadow thief. Under the guise of a messenger. Stealing and collecting intelligence is what he does.

With a wealth of experience in both tracking and counter-tracking, Hernandez thought he should be at home in Cloud Scales. But who knows, there seems to be an experienced and capable person under the lord's command, so that every time Hernandez goes out, he is followed by an inextricable tail, which makes him elbow left and right, which is extremely uncomfortable.

Several times. He was only able to shake off the other party's tracking with the help of spells. But he only touched the second layer of the magic net, and there were not many spells that he could use every day, so many times, he could only stay at home and do nothing.

Today, though, Hernandez has an important person to meet, so he has to go out.

Twist and turn in the middle of a complex alley. Finally, with the help of an invisibility technique, Hernandez shook off the stalker and met with the patriarch of the Salou people, Marubion, in a stone house that was rare in Cloudscales.

He had heard that Gordon had driven Marubion's men out of the town hall on the first day he arrived in Cloud Scales, and that the Patriarch of Salou must now have a grudge against the lord. With a little provocation and a little bit of goodness, it is very likely that the Salou will attack Gordon.

The Salou are among the top three powerful tribes in the Southern Peninsula, and they are also allied with many swamp tribes. As long as Marubian takes the lead. There is no problem in organizing a team of more than 2,000 people.

Hernandez did not use the word "army" to describe the armed forces of these indigenous peoples. Because it was at best a mob with minimal organization, far removed from the regular army. If it weren't for the sheer numerical superiority, I'm afraid Hernandez would have to cast a twelve-point doubt on whether they would be able to defeat Gordon.

"Outsider, you're here." Marubion said to Hernandez in a cold tone.

The patriarch of the Salou people was a dark-skinned, tall man, with a curly head and typical Peninsula Aboriginal features, with a long whip pinned to his waist, if you look closely, you will see that the tip of the long whip is a snake head, and what is even more terrifying is that this snake head is actually alive, from time to time there is a hissing and vicious sound, with those cold eyes to look at the outside world.

For anyone who is not a native of the peninsula, the xenophobic Marubiong will call him an "outsider". If the King of Haywen had made a big show of taking the entire southern part of the peninsula under his rule, I am afraid that the person who is now hostile to the Salou people would not be Gordon. Freeman too.

For these semi-civilized natives, Hernandez knew that any imperial aristocratic etiquette was useless, and he said bluntly: "I know that you have formed a feud with the new lord. The King of Hyperven wants you to attack each other. ”

"And what good can the Aldrich tribe do me? I don't lack food, weapons, money. Marubian asked in a jerky lingua franca.

Hernandez knew that in the eyes of these aborigines, any organization formed by blood or surname was a "tribe." They will not be able to understand the meaning of the state, let alone the difference between a family and a tribe.

"I know what you want, Marubion." Hernandez deliberately slowed down, "You want to know the secrets of Mount Kinabalu. ”

"That's right." Marubion nodded, "That lord has exchanged a group of hostages with me with a map of Mount Kinabalu. But I didn't find any secrets of Mount Kinabalu on the map. The lord angered me again. But that's not enough for me to attack. The people of Aikan covet the sacred swamp of our Salou, and I cannot take it lightly. ”

Hernandez wasn't interested in the swamps that the natives prized as treasures, but he could hear what was being said.

"We Aldrich know a lot about the secrets of Mount Wesula. If you're willing to help King Hyperven deal with Gordon, we'd be happy to share the secrets with you. ”

"Really?

Hernandez laughed: "Of course. The two children of the King of Hyperven, Hensel and Grida, are powerful mages of the Five Rings. They had been investigating Mount Waisula for a long time. ”

Marubion had also heard of the names of the twin siblings, and finally nodded, "Okay, when I get to the tribe tomorrow, I will gather the men immediately." ”

"Don't worry, today I heard that the lord has gathered the entire Cloud Scale City and has something important to announce. Let's go and see the excitement first. ”

"Hmph, a man who doesn't even dare to step into Strindberg, a coward." Marubyan said dismissively.

However, despite saying that, he and Hernandez left the residence, and then followed the flow of people out of Cloud Scale City.

The young lord didn't know what was crazy, and he actually announced that anyone who could go to the temporary square in front of Strindberg today could receive a pound of food.

Such a good thing naturally attracted the poor people in the city. And those who were not worried about food and clothing, such as Hernandez and Marubion, were also driven by curiosity to Strindberg.

Gordon distributed so much food and gathered nearly 10,000 people here, there must have been a plan.

Even in the hostile camp, Hernandez was curious and looked forward to Gordon's expression.

Instead of going to the crowded temporary square, the two chose to watch the events unfold in the distance from a place overlooking the entire castle.

As soon as Marubion climbed the hill, he pointed to the square in front of Strindberg and asked Hernandez: "Out-of-towners, what are those things?" ”

Hernandez looked in the direction the other party was pointing, and his face suddenly changed.
