Transcendent Noble

Black Castle Town should be called Black City.

This 25-square-kilometer city, built by the river, has a 60-meter high fortress and a city wall close to 40 meters high. The city wall is also equipped with formidable power, huge ballistas and catapults. . Outside the city, a 25-meter-wide moat was flowing slowly. The craftsmen worked hard to build a culvert and introduce the river into the city to form a city river that runs through the city. This 4 km long artificial river provides a stable water source for Heicheng. Because the banks of the river are full of rose flowers, it is also called the Qiangwei River. On the west side of the Qiangwei River is 12,000 acres of farmland, and on the east side is the building complex, of which blacksmith shops and warehouses are naturally indispensable.

Fortresses, high walls, water sources, farmland, blacksmith shops, warehouses, these are the essential elements of the Great Family central city, and the Black City is the central city under Duke York.

Knight is the lance sword for the family to expand its territory, and the towns that cannot be captured are the foundation of the family.

Sylvia used her influence and the situation of the kingdom to lead the York family to move westward, expanding the family territory three times. In order to lay a foundation in Centaur Hills, the York family spent millions of goldsold to build Black Castle Town.

Black Castle Town lived up to expectations. It withstood the test of the war and blocked the ant-man army outside the city. However, the repercussions of the war began to appear in this town.

Now is the coldest time of the year, and Black Castle Town is even more bleak. There are no caravans, no crowds, no bustling shops, cold and cheerless streets. There are fewer than a few people, and there are only less than 4,000 of the more than 30,000 residents of Black Castle Town.

The most significant change is that the free people outside the city have disappeared. Regardless of whether the lords like it or not, the freedmen are the measure of the prosperity of the town. More than 20,000 freedmen once gathered outside Black Castle Town, and now they have gone to the shed, and the shantytown has been converted into a storage yard.

The caravan will still visit Black Castle Town, but they no longer need to enter the city. The York family did not have any supplies to sell, and the caravan unloaded the goods at the yard, which would soon be dragged away by the vassal lords everywhere. Of course, the caravan can also buy a good product in Black Castle Town, that is, wheels wrapped in ground lizard skin.

Walking in the middle of the road, the wheel is broken, which is always very annoying, and such annoying things often happen. As a result, the more durable lizard leather wheels are very popular, which makes the York family a lot of money. Other families also want to imitate, but they don't have so many ground lizard skins. The caravan stewards don’t know why the York family has so many ground lizard skins, but the income from the sale of lizard wheels in Black Castle Town is far less than their purchase of supplies.

In the eyes of outsiders, Black Castle Town is like a wounded giant beast, who is losing blood continuously, without 7 or 8 years, it can’t be slowed down at all, but the York family don’t think so. .

The ant plague did make the York family strength great injury, and the accumulation of thousands of years was wiped out. After the ant plague was suppressed, although they gained more territory and population, they did not have enough supplies and food. Before achieving self-sufficiency, the York family must spend money to buy necessities. For other families, this is a gluttonous feast.

The moldy grains and obsolete leather goods are continuously transported to Black Castle Town, and continuously replaced with shiny gold coins. As long as the York family consumes the last gold coin, other families will do it. Showing fangs to the iron essence mine of Centaur Hills. Although the battle strength of the York family is strong, many things cannot be solved by martial power. But these families did not know that the giant beast was about to rejuvenate and become stronger.

No people can be seen in the city, that's because everyone ran to build fortresses, dig reservoirs, herd cattle and sheep, and farm land to raise pigs. The promotion of the new agricultural and pastoral system has made the York family no longer need to import wheat seeds. By next year, they will be able to achieve self-sufficiency in food. In two years, the number of cattle, sheep and horses will return to the pre-war level. Only waiting for the three fortresses to seal the entrance of Great Swamp, free people from all over will gather outside the city again.

Enbis.Duke York, who has a keen business vision, made the layout ahead of time. There are no disordered and in a mess sheds in Black Castle Town. Instead, there are houses built of blue bricks. These houses have two floors above and below, with shops on the bottom and houses on the top. The plan is very neat and the roads are very wide. It can accommodate three carriages. Both sides of the road are sidewalks, separated by landscape trees and flower beds. As long as Black Castle Town recovers, the rents of these shops alone can make the York family earn a lot of money.

In the city, a luxurious aristocratic carriage pierced through the cold fog and drove slowly towards the towering black fort. The horse’s heavy hooves stepped on the empty street, arousing the vigilance of the patrolling soldiers. Seeing the emblem on the wall of the carriage, he bowed again. The journey was unimpeded, and the carriage quickly stopped at the back door of the Black Fort.

Victor stepped off the carriage and looked at the brand-new Black Castle Town, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. The layout of houses, streets and landscape trees here is very similar to that of Hekou Town. When the York family imitated him, they also learned the neat and tidy style. Unconsciously, Centaur Hills has left the mark of Victor.

A Bai Shengsheng’s little hand held Victor’s arm, and a soft voice rang in his ears: "It's majestic, but a little deserted."

Judy got off the carriage , The snow-white camel hair cloak covers her lithe and graceful body, but there is a faint spring feeling at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. She walked all the way for fifteen days, which made her belong to her body and mind, and she was about to see important members of the royal family. , Inevitably I was a little nervous, so he leaned against Victor's side like an endearing little bird.

Victor and Judy have been together for more than two months, and the journey to Blacksburg is even more intimate and Seamless. He also knows Judy's temperament. Judy's every move, every frown and smile reveals a fragile taste, which can always arouse the protective desire of men. This gives Victor an experience that Victor has never had before, and also shows that she has an instinct to attach to a powerhouse. A weak will is difficult to guarantee loyalty, but as long as she has confidence, she will not be easily betrayed.

Victor patted Judy's delicate white hands, asked: "How is this place compared to Wild Willow City?"

Judy smiled without saying a word, Victor also said with a smile:" Black Castle Town is definitely not as good as the 100-year-old Wild Willow City, but it was still a vacant lot a few years ago, and these houses were built only a year ago. Don’t look at Black Castle Town now is very deserted, it will be prosperous in two years It’s said that the York family is still planning to build another outer city, and in five years, it will surpass Wild Willow City."

Judy's eyes widened, looking at the rows of blue brick houses and the spaciousness. In the street, said incredulously: "This... how is this possible?"

"As long as the right method is used, this is not an impossible thing." Victor nodded, Chao Zhudi said: "His Royal Highness and Lord Duke York are still waiting for us, let's go in."

Judy was slightly nodded, and followed Victor into the Black Fort.

As soon as I entered the Black Fort, two attendants, a man and a woman, came forward. Although they both knew Victor, they respectfully confirmed their identities and asked about their intentions, and then led Victor and Judy. Forward.

Victor noticed that the Black Fort is heavily guarded. On both sides of the long corridor, there are two majestic guards guarding every 20 meters. When Victor walked over, they just bowed their heads. Compliments. And Judy did not let go of Victor's arm from start to finish, which was a gesture of companion.

At the door of the reception room, the attendants helped Victor and Judy to take off their cloaks, replaced their fur coats, and revealed their formal attire. Victor wore a blue Viscount suit and a white fine linen shirt, and Judy was a light blue tunic dress. For a while, the male was handsome and tall, and the female was charming and feminine, just like a pair of bishops. The two trainee Knights in scales in front of the door glanced implicitly before turning around and knocking on the door.

Clerk Max opened the silver-clad oak door, and when he saw Victor and Judy, he said politely: "Viscount Randal, Madame Judy, Duke York and Edward are waiting for the two The audience."

Victor entered the living room and saw Duke York sitting on the main seat. His right hand was sitting on a little boy wearing a Purple Gold crown and Prince clothes. Sitting on the left is the simple Bishop Pierot, and two men in Viscount dresses are sitting on the right side of the teenager. One of them has black hair and blue eyes and a handsome face.

Seeing Victor and Judy saluting to himself, the white and fat Duke York got off his chair and said affectionately with a smile: "Viscount Randal, I'll introduce you to His Royal Highness Prince Edward."

I haven't seen Duke York for a long time. He is obviously a little fatter again. Victor is holding his arm enthusiastically, and his heart is rather strange. Although Duke York and Sylvia are just a couple in name, as a transmigrator, Victor still feels a little guilty about this guy. Of course, Victor couldn't realize the pressure of other men facing Sylvia. Duke York ate himself so fat, which also meant to escape her. Duke York's enthusiasm for Victor stems from a business fit, and he believes that Victor will be a very good partner.

"Edward .Augustus His Highness the Prince."

Under the guidance of Duke York, Victor and Judy salute the young man on the high chair, "His Royal Highness, good day." "

"Mrs. Judy don't need to be polite." Little Edward returned to Judy's jaw and said with a smile to Victor: "Victor, we meet again."

Little Baron once met Prince Edward in the palace. Edward was only 4 or 5 years old at the time. He didn’t have much impression of Victor at all. It’s just that Victor’s appearance was too obvious, especially the pure black eyes. What people don't have. Little Prince showed his favor to Victor, it was because of Sylvia's face.

Unfortunately, Victor doesn’t take this thing taking seriously his identity. He sees little fellow trying to be an adult. He only feels cute in his heart, but respectfully said: "It’s mine to be able to meet your majesty again. I am honored."

Prince Edward naturally took over the dominance of the introduction. He lied and said, "Master Bishop Pierot."

After the two bowed, Pierot was polite. He said: "May the Lord of Radiance protect you."

"Viscount Solon. Wimbledon."

Solon got up and greeted Victor's jaw again, and Victor also smiled nodded. , The two are very calm, neither enthusiastic nor indifferent, and there will be no collisions. It is just a normal tribute to each other.

Victor occupies Baron's body and inherits his cause and effect, but he has no personal grievances with Solon. With Victor’s current strength and status, as long as Solon is not a fool, they would fight against does not raise.

"Squer. Victor graciously said with a smile: "Your Excellency Randal, I am the big brother of Eskry Baron. Kovaan often mentions you in his letters. I want to thank you for your assistance to our Eskry family."

Eskry Baron was very sad. The family was originally poor. After the ant plague, he ran into the Beria family to drive away the people. After more than a thousand people flowed into the territory, Eskry was even bigger. Fortunately, Victor accepted those people in time. This was not right. Territory resources cause destruction. The Eskry family is a direct line of Marquis Goron and is known for its unity and bravery. As the big brother of Eskry Baron, Squer is indeed grateful to Victor.

"Your Excellency Eskry, you don't have to be polite. It is the neighbor's duty to keep watch and help each other." Victor said modestly.

Squer looked straight, and respectfully paid a Knight salute to Victor, and said solemnly: "If it weren’t for your Excellency to inform you in time, with Kovaan’s character, I’m afraid he has died in the ant. In the hands of the people’s army. Our Eskry family owes you a favor, and we will be rewarded in the future."

Squer’s sincerity made Victor a little moved. He didn’t say any kind words, but solemnly returned one. present.

Wait for Duke York and Prince Edward to sit down, Bishop Pierot said to Victor and Judy: "According to the Bright New Testament, I would like to represent the Pope Your Majesty, under the witness of the Supreme Lord, to ask the two Lord Austin died in battle. Please answer truthfully."

"Mrs. Judy, please describe in detail the reason and process of your escape to Randal."

Judy's secret Secretly relieved, afterwards, she also found many suspicious places, and she was worried about it. The question asked by Bishop Pierot was obviously biased, so there was nothing to worry about, so she quietly settled the matter. The reason is described again.

After Bishop Pierot listened, nodded, he said gently to Victor: "Your Excellency Randal, please describe the details and location of Austin's death."

Victor faintly smiled, Loudly said: "Master Bishop, I request to accept the detection of lies."

Detecting lies is a Level 3 divine technique, in front of this divine technique, no lies are hidden. The church generally does not easily detect lies against the lord. Only when the lord mutilates the civilians and shelters the wizard, causing more serious consequences, and there is no evidence, the priest will detect the lies and convict him.

Before he came, Bishop Pierot looked through Father Miller’s report and learned that Victor had taken responsibility for the relief of the people. He had a great impression of Victor. Although the death of Austin was a bit weird, the church is trying its best to raid the northern wilderness and has no time to take into account the threat of Ant-Man. Therefore, the situation in Centaur Hills cannot be chaotic. . Since Victor took the initiative to detect a lie, the York family must have nothing to do with this matter. This is actually a statement made by the York family to the Royal Family that they have no intention of offending the authority of the royal family.

Bishop Pierot was pleased with this. He took out a white crystal and said silent prayers. The white golden rune appeared above the crystal and turned into a light spot to dissipate in the air.

"If it is a lie, the crystal will become red."

Bishop Pierot showed the transparent crystal to everyone, and then motioned to Victor: "Your Excellency, you can start. ."

Until Victor finished the story, there was no change in the crystal. At this time, Duke York lightly added, "I don’t know about it either!"

No one would think that Duke York is Sylvia’s puppet. In fact, this shrewd fatty belongs to the York family. One of the heads of the family, all matters of the family will be handled by him. The crystal is still as clear as ever. Victor did not lie, which means that Sylvia was unaware. Duke York did not lie, which meant that the senior members of the York family were not involved in this matter.

Bishop Pierot said to Max: "Clerk, please record my conclusion that Austin intended to murder the family heir, invaded the Randal collar, and died in a fair battle."

Si handed it over the written sheepskin scroll. Bishop Pierot read it again, took out the seal and put it on the fire lacquer. After it was rolled, he gave it to Paladin behind him, instructed: "Send this record to the capital of Gambis and give it to Archbishop Lazarus. Your Excellency."

When Paladin walked out of the reception room with the scroll, Count York said to Prince Edward with a flat face: "Your Highness, I have prepared a rich lunch for you. Look, do you want to go now? Banquet?"

"I want to invite Viscount Randal and Madame Judy to a banquet."

Little Prince swallowed quietly. The York family’s dishes are exquisite and delicious. He was very satisfied.

"As you wish, His Highness the Prince." Fat York swallowed openly.

At this time, old steward with silver hair walked in and bowed and said: "Madam invites Viscount Randal and Madame Judy to meet at Rose Manor."
