Chapter 267: Arrival in the North City
Chapter 262 – Arriving at North City
“To think that a city has already been built, it’s really scary.” On the way to North City, Marquis Burgassus muttered to himself.
Building a city meant that the population was over ten thousand, even in the empire, it was a solid count to start with, and from what he had seen and heard from Mara Town, it wasn’t the kind that used serfs and farmers to make up the numbers.
Nine Princess is also concerned about HYDRA which she has heard about frequently since she came to the Northland, especially when she heard that HYDRA III is still a young man, it makes her ponder.
As a princess, marriage is the only destiny of Thea in this life, even if it becomes a legend, it is only from the marriage tool into a weapon of the royal family, the essence has not changed much, so Thea has been paying attention to the young generation of the empire, intending to find someone to marry in advance.
The reason is very simple, since there is no way to resist, then choose a better object to marry is the only thing she can do, and the emperor does not care who his daughter marries, he only cares about whether his son-in-law is strong enough to strengthen the solidity of his rule over the empire, that’s all.
A young lord of the Northlands, although not strong enough and lacking in depth, but the position is very critical, barely meeting the requirements of the marriage, after all, once married to the princess, the royal family will have a reason and way to interfere in the Northlands.
Thea calmly assessed Owen’s value in her mind, and did not think that the other party would refuse.
Firstly, the other party did not have a madam, secondly, the other party would understand that only by marrying a princess could HYDRA continue to exist, in addition, she was very confident in her own looks and figure, even the royal family’s secret 36 styles were also very familiar, so she could not think of a reason for the other party to refuse.
But the confidence that was full of confidence dropped a knot after seeing Bei Cheng, maybe the other party was a little stronger than she thought.
Completion of the expansion of the north city already has a dream wall, five meters high and three meters thick walls are all built with a hundred pounds of heavy stones, can be said to be impregnable, and every thirty meters on the wall there is a gun position, there are elite soldiers armed patrol, dense intertwined, leaving no dead ends, can make any attacker feel despair.
How much does it cost to build such a fortified city, the three of them know very well, especially in the remote northern part of the country where there is a lack of resources and manpower, the consumption is more than ten times more, it seems that they still underestimated HYDRA.
The arrival of the envoys naturally can not hide from Owen, and even their own information was small thumbs as a knock on the door to the other side is also known, but this does not mean that he needs to personally meet, because the frame must be end up, but also end up, the end of the let a person look at the end of the people do not dare to do anything rashly.
The degree of this is not good to grasp, so the first to welcome is Maya.
Dazzling red hair just into the eyes, Marquis Burgassus three people understand each other’s identity, because the information sent by the little thumb is quite detailed.
However, compared to in Mara Town still dare to show his face, this has not yet arrived in the Northland Little Thumb disappeared, because he is very clear that the dark side of the North City is still hiding a powerful and deadly existence, several times to try to find out nothing, which makes him more vigilant, and even more afraid to expose himself.
“Long time no see Ms. Maya.” The first one to open his mouth was surprisingly Earl Dekra, who always put on a face along the way, because he really knew Maya, having met several times during his visits to Countess Carol, and was very impressed with this legendary head maid.
After all, there are a lot of maids, there are also a lot of head maids, but at its peak, the head maid who can influence a count’s collar and a marquis’s collar is the only one, even the haughty Count Dekra will also look at the other side, and doesn’t mind releasing his own goodwill.
And at this time, Maya has long since stopped dressing as a maid, but a decent nobleman dress, coupled with the wisdom precipitated by years and wisdom, it looks like an elegant and noble female aristocrat, Count Dekra immediately recognized the other party’s identity change, so did not call the other party as the head of the maidservant, even if the other party is a maid of service origin.
Although there had never been a maid who became a nobleman, and even lifting up as a noblewoman was extremely rare, Count Dekra still immediately accepted this fact, because North City’s existence was enough to make him change his attitude.
“It has indeed been a long time since I have seen you, the last time I met with Earl Deklar was during that unforgettable banquet.” Feeling the goodwill released by the other party, Maya responded with a slightly deep smile. “Welcome Marquis Bergasus’ envoy, welcome Count Lord Deklar, and the honorable Ninth Princess, please get on the bus, Lord Lord is already waiting for the three of you at the castle.” With a light smile, Maya slightly saluted before inviting the three to board the carriage.
“To Hydra III, we have heard about him constantly since we came to the Northlands, we really want to meet him immediately.” Marquis Burgasus, despite his title and age difference, showed great sincerity, even if he knew it was a pretense, Maya’s still smiled a bit more and let the coachman depart.
Of course, at this time, Maya’s heart in the end what is thinking, probably in addition to her own no one knows, anyway, is not the other party’s words will not be listened to seriously.
The carriage used metal bearings and shock absorbing technology, traveling on the clean and tidy stone street as smooth as skating, so that people do not feel the slightest bumps, and this is only the Marquis of Burgasus three people into the north city after observing a corner.
Because of the system construction of all aspects of the addition, the development of the territory is hanging, coupled with Owen’s constant supplement, the territory’s degree of affluence far beyond the imagination of the general public, just all the roads in the city are all flagstone roads can be seen, not to mention that on both sides of the road there are sidewalks and every distance there is a street lamp, all of these are the embodiment of the strength of the.
For this reason, tens of thousands of people from the whole territory, plus the engineering machinery, and all the people from the magic school, all joined in, and created the miracle in front of us.
In addition to these hardware, the clean and tidy environment, neatly organized houses, elegant and atmospheric courtyards, as well as stores with abundant commodities, these are all important bases for evaluating a territory.
However, the root of a territory was still the people, as only the people could not be faked, so the trio’s gaze was quickly placed on the pedestrians on both sides of the road.
In the eyes of the three, the residents of North City were a little too clean, knowing that even many nobles did not have such good hygiene habits.
Moreover, the clothes that most people wore, although not good enough to talk about, were quite neat and tidy, and there were hardly any rags to be seen, bearing in mind that these could all be commoners.
In addition, people with status will not overly pursue gorgeous clothes, treat people generously and politely, and look quite cultivated.
At the same time, the three also noticed that the residents here have a rosy, healthy face and bulging muscles, obviously not only living in affluence, but also the habit of martial arts.
Although there was no communication, nor did they glance at each other, but the three understood that here is the biggest harvest they came to the Northland, right now it depends on who’s means is more skillful.
As for the issue of Hydra’s mysterious origins, this was never a problem.
The huge empire never lacked people with mysterious origins, so there was no need to look at the other party’s origins, but rather what the other party did.
Developing territories, seeking titles, accepting enthronements, for the empire, for the emperor, for the nobles, this was enough because it meant that the other party was willing to accept the rules of the game, willing to play together.
As long as the new player is qualified enough, the old player actually doesn’t mind one more person, not to mention that the other party represents a brand new piece of cake.
