Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

,

Due to the topography of the city, Zong Shen could roughly see some of the castle's conditions from here.

The castle consists of several parts.

Strictly speaking, the nature of a castle is not like a manor.

This is a serious defensive building.

Its main body is a five-story square building in the center, topped by a gabled roof.

You can see round windows one by one, arranged neatly.

The building is made of light yellow stone bricks, with orange-red tiles on the sloped roof.

There are a total of six dome towers in four directions. These towers are connected to the building and have different heights, making them look very layered.

Further to the outside is a tower surrounding the main body of the castle, which is the city wall of the castle.

Each tower is about ten meters wide, and soldiers and some defensive equipment can be stationed above it.

There are also passages connecting each other inside the tower, and there are gates on all sides.

Those city gates are all heavy metal rune gates, usually hung up with winches and thick chains.

In times of war, you only need to turn the winch to quickly lower the city gate.

This castle occupies the core position in the central area.

Compared with the European-style castles on Earth, the scale of this castle can only be regarded as a small or medium-sized castle.

But even so, the area covers millions of square meters.

It occupies at least three hundred hectares of land.

And the entire central area is not too small.

According to the markings in the guide, this area covers 8.76 square kilometers.

There are woods, grasslands, and even a small lake.

It's like a green gem embedded in the city.

The entire city was gradually expanded and built around the central area.

The lights around the castle are brightly lit, especially on the towers, where magic spotlights shine in all directions.

On the outside of the castle, that is, in the central area, there seemed to be groups of state soldiers patrolling with torches.

From Zong Shen's perspective, it was like a line composed of dots of firelight.

Now that Zong Shen and the others are too far away from the castle, some details cannot be seen clearly.

I can only vaguely see some general situations.

Compared with the castle in the central area, Evans' manor pales into insignificance.

"Good guys, each one is more luxurious than the other."

"This central area is even more exaggerated. It has a castle and a small park."

"And that castle, although it can only be regarded as a small castle, it is many times stronger than our lord's small building."

Zong Shen admired with some envy. He didn't know how high the lord's courtyard in his territory, the so-called city lord's mansion, needed to be upgraded to become such a magnificent castle.

According to the upgrade mark for each upgrade of the City Lord's Mansion, Zong Shen felt that there was still a chance to upgrade it to a castle.

Because with the upgrade of the city lord's mansion, the original lord's cabin gradually turned into a three-story lord's small building.

The bluestone wall with a height of about two meters has also become a high bluestone wall with a height of more than three meters.

The corresponding land area is also gradually expanding, and the expansion of the lord's courtyard will not affect the surrounding buildings, and the overall land will only expand accordingly.

This involves extremely profound space laws, which should be the power of the Lord System.

According to this trend, if the city lord's mansion can really be upgraded to a higher level.

It is really possible to turn the lord's courtyard into a castle.

Seeing Zong Shen's admiration for Bosibon's central castle.

Vereesa behind him suddenly leaned her head on his shoulder and spoke softly through the helmet.

"This kind of castle is nothing."

"The ancient human race forces even built spectacular floating cities."

"There is also the Zenith Tree City of the elves."

"The goblin's mobile fortress."

"The black iron fortress of the dwarves."

"The Ironthorn Castle of the Orcs."

"Some crypt races also built huge underground cities, the Undercity."

"These are all strange and powerful giant cities from back then."

"There are also tons of majestic buildings and incredible plans."

"Such as extraordinary mage tower, sky exploration project, abyss passage..."

After seeing this castle, Vereesa seemed to recall some situations from more than 10,000 years ago.

He said a lot of things and names that made Zong Shen feel incredible.

More than 10,000 years ago, the continent that had never encountered a dimensional war seemed to be more exciting and powerful than the current continent.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many relics and ancient powers left behind.

Zong Shen and the others were walking in the streets of Bangcheng.

The closer you get to the central area, the wider and neater the streets become.

In fact, to be fair, Bosbon is pretty good.

At least every street in Bangcheng is clean and there is no smell in the air.

The standard for measuring the development level of a state is not just common indicators such as population, economy, and military strength.

The health system is actually also an important link and standard.

A city has a population of hundreds of thousands, and health issues are one of the major livelihood issues.

If the city does not have some means and measures, considering the general quality level of the aboriginal people in this world, they will defecate anywhere and make the whole city stink.

This situation can be imagined by referring to those European cities in the Middle Ages on Earth.

Including those villages now.

As far as Naoduo Village is concerned, the main road in the village is pretty good. After all, there are public toilets in the village.

But those paths are hard to describe.

At that time, Zong Shen was sneaking along the path in Odo Village, and he almost stepped on those cakes several times.

Don't underestimate these problems of shit and piss. This is the real people's livelihood. A lord who can manage shit and shit well will not be any worse at managing other aspects of the territory.

The closer you get to the central area, the more prosperous and lively the streets become.

Various luxuriously decorated taverns began to appear.

These taverns were both places to drink and have fun, as well as places to stay.

There were several sexy girls in scantily clad clothes standing at the door of the tavern, trying hard to attract business.

In addition to their regular business, some pubs also take on the business of selling sex.

Of course, in terms of scale and quality, they cannot compare with those professional prostitution organizations in the giant city such as Moulin Rouge and Spring Rose.

As the saying goes, if there is demand, there will be business. As long as there is enough profit, a lot of people will do it.

As for the policies of local high-level officials and the human kingdom, this industry is not prohibited.

Although it easily involves various issues such as family, ethics, and morality.

But it is one of the means to reduce the crime rate and maintain public security and stability.

Those mercenaries, traveling merchants, and private armed forces all need some entertainment that can relieve their stress.

Things like drinking, gambling, and prostitutes are undoubtedly good choices to release stress.

You must know that those guys live a precarious life every day and adhere to the principle of living in the present.

If all recreational activities are banned, mental stress cannot be released.

Then it is easy to drive these people onto the path of crime.

Therefore, this recreational entertainment industry is common everywhere.

Not only humans, but also all major alien races.

Not only can it effectively reduce the crime rate, but it can also make huge profits through these entertainment industries.

Along the way, Zong Shen and the others saw many taverns with different styles.

There are the kind of pubs with hard dance music and magic lights.

There are also taverns with a quiet environment and soft music.

Different environments have different positioning, and the size of the pub is also different.

Among them, Zong Shen also saw a familiar tavern. This tavern is a chain type and can be found in some large villages, as well as in state and giant cities.

It is said to be one of the three largest taverns in the Kingdom of Avalon.

There are also rumors that the Wild Thorn Tavern is related to the Shadow Poison Assassin League that was active in this land back then.

The tavern is just a front, the eyes and ears they place everywhere.

Zong Shen didn't know about this, but at least it was in Bosbonne, the pubs he just saw along the way.

The splendor of this Wild Thorn Tavern can definitely be ranked among the top three.

There is a large square-style open-air bar on the street near the central area.

There are also fountains and sculptures, and warm-toned magic lights are decorated on the surrounding eaves and walls, outlining fantastic light paintings.

Several well-dressed male musicians were playing bagpipes and strumming the harp. The melodious and soothing music echoed, making people feel peaceful.

There were also maids wearing sexy tube top skirts, walking between each booth carrying trays filled with drinks of various colors.

In addition to the open-air booths and bar, nearby residential buildings also belong to the Wild Thorn Tavern.

These houses are three or four stories high, with flat roofs and painted with white mortar on the outside.

Each room has been transformed into a semi-open terrace box.

The buildings in three directions surround the square in the middle.

Only one side remained next to the street.

Two rows of tall flowerbeds were erected as walls at the entrance, filled with delicate roses.

There are obvious traces of silver-white magic runes drawn on these flower beds.

Maintain those flowers in your flowerbed with simple natural magic circles.

In the middle of the two rows of flowerbeds is a circular metal arch with the words "Wild Thorns" hanging on it.

Unlike other taverns, there were four women in black robes standing outside the door of the Wild Thorn Tavern.

The clothes are not revealing, and the expression is not enthusiastic. Instead, he looks a bit cold.

This actually made Zong Shen somewhat interested in the Wild Thorn Tavern.

When you have free time, you should take your soldiers to have fun.

But there was obviously no chance tonight, and he had to find Baron Bezos quickly.

On this street near the central area, in addition to pubs, there are also some elegantly decorated shops.

It sells high-quality ready-made clothes, armor and weapons of acceptable quality.

In addition, there is a very stylish restaurant.

According to the eating habits of the indigenous people on this continent.

Without exception, these restaurants should be Western-style restaurants.

I just don’t know if there is a lord from China who was once a chef who is willing to conquer the stomachs of these alien aborigines with his exquisite cooking skills.

Theoretically, as long as you spend some effort, you can definitely recreate the seasonings and ingredients on Earth in this world.

The extensive and profound Chinese cuisine, even if you choose any cuisine, can rub these aboriginal cuisines to the ground.

Of course, this thing has a lot to do with craftsmanship.

If the craftsmanship is not good, whether it is Chinese or Western style, you will have to throw it away.

Zong Shen just doesn't have the talent or skills in this area, otherwise this would definitely be a good way to make a fortune.

When hot pot entered the northern ice field, it was the royal dining table of the Kingdom of Virginia.

Spicy and fragrant Sichuan cuisine became the favorite side dish of rugged mercenaries.

Jiangsu cuisine, with its fresh and refreshing taste, has become a popular delicacy among aborigines.

The delicious and fresh Cantonese cuisine leads the aboriginal food supplement trend.

There are many more like this. The eight major Chinese cuisines, plus various local cuisines, can definitely turn the other world upside down.

Zong Shen just thought about it for a moment and could already think of the future scene.

Human beings' joys and sorrows may not necessarily be the same, but food can cross borders and even dimensions.

"Go ahead, the territory must have delicious food from now on!"

Zong Shen secretly said in his heart that this trip to Bosbon gave him more inspiration.

If there is nothing in another world, it is an opportunity!

After returning from this trip, we began to prepare for the opening of the tavern in the territory.

To attract popularity through delicious food, you must make it unique.

He still has the book in his hand, and Tie Zhu has provided information before.

There is a very talented chef in Dinan Village, and the food he cooks has some beneficial effects.

Such a talented chef can be trained and trained when the time comes.

Then we will look for some Chinese lords with cooking basics among the lords to serve as the technical team.

Zong Shen thought of this.

There was a new one added to his list of plans.

This plan was named the Chef God Plan by him!

He was thinking while strolling leisurely down the street.

A trip to Bosbon will inspire Zong Shen’s future plans for his territory.

He acted very relaxed, not caring about Evans or the people following him at all.

After passing through this street, we entered a brand new street.

This street is obviously more deserted, with offices of organizations such as the Mercenary Association and the Magician Association on both sides.

There are also a lot of fancy organizations and contact points for the Order.

Those large organizations still have a signboard, while some small organizations don’t even have a signboard.

There was only a small, closed door and a mysterious little room.

After walking for more than ten minutes, we finally crossed the streets near these central areas.

We arrived at the real core area of ​​Bangcheng.

This is the administrative center of Bosbon.

It is also where Baron Bezos and his family live daily.

Bosbon itself was one of the territories held by the Chebman family.

It was just given to him by Bezos' family fathers.
