Chapter 421: David's Throne

  Chapter 421 David's Throne

  In addition to these two options, Sparta can also cross the Aegean Sea and directly land in Asia Minor.

  Considering that there are a large number of islands in the Aegean Sea, it is even simpler than landing directly on the Apennine Peninsula across the sea.

  However, David previously asked the Kingdom of Sparta to occupy the entire Europe, so Tyndarios' attack direction is always on the European continent, not east.

  Of course, Asia Minor will definitely be taken by the Kingdom of Sparta. In the future, it is entirely possible to turn the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea into the inland sea of ​​the Kingdom of Sparta.

  With the support of Winter City, these goals will be achieved sooner or later-the Kingdom of Sparta has no opponents in their world.

  As long as David is patient, the whole world will become his 'vassal' world.

   When that day really comes, I wonder if I can draw energy from that world to make myself stronger?

  David thinks it should be possible, as long as he finds the right method, just like he absorbed Tiamut's power to strengthen himself.

   "Everything is going well in Sparta."

  Helen’s world didn’t seem to require David’s extra attention. Even a little benefit thrown out casually would be a huge gift to the people of the Spartan Kingdom.

  High-yield crops such as potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes laid the foundation for the massive increase in population in the Kingdom of Sparta.

  With all kinds of powerful weapons, the force of the Spartan Kingdom is proud of the whole world. They are the only ones who beat others, and no one else dares to beat them.

  As the country grows stronger and people's lives are getting better and better, the whole country is becoming more and more devout towards the **** David.

  It is completely different from the gods believed by many surrounding kingdoms. After the Kingdom of Sparta believed in David, it really received a lot of care.

  Currently on the Balkan Peninsula, the Kingdom of Sparta already has the reputation of the land of the gods.

   According to legend, the Kingdom of Sparta has endless food, powerful and gorgeous weapons and armor, and the drink (tea) that the gods like to drink.

  The Spartans lived in clean, tidy, majestic cities, wore beautiful costumes bestowed by the gods, and lived a happy life unimaginable by ordinary people.

   "In fact, similar rumors have also begun to spread in Iron Tree Fort."

  When talking about this matter, Helen smiled very happily, because these circumstances once again proved how correct her original decision was.

  If I had shrunk back then, how could I have such a happy and comfortable life now? It is even more impossible for his own motherland, the Kingdom of Sparta, to become as powerful as it is now.

  It is impossible for me to cross the realm of mortals so easily and become an extraordinary existence.

  Helen, who has eaten golden apples, used strengthening potions, and mastered arcane energy, is indeed no longer a mortal. Even if she doesn't wear power armor, she can easily defeat a group of elite soldiers of the Spartan Kingdom.

   "Those bards who came to Cold Winter City before did a good job of publicizing your Majesty."

  After the coronation ceremony, bards from all over the world left Winter City one after another.

  Some of these bards are going to visit Port Tiran, and some want to go around the northern plains to see the snowy scenery on the northern plains.

   Some fell in love with Winter City and decided to stay here for a period of time;

  Naturally, some of them have made new works, and they can’t wait to spread the new works to other people, so they went all the way south.

   This group of bards had to pass through Iron Tree Castle, so the people of Iron Tree Castle became the first audience to hear about the mysteries of Winter City.

   "Does Marquis Morgan have no objection to this?"

  Such rumors should cause some trouble to the Marquis Morgan's rule, right? The marquis didn't come to complain to himself? Are you so sensible?

   "Marquis Morgan should not care about these things. He is still in Winter City and has not returned."

"ah?"

  David thought that after he went to the immigration convoy to play for a while, these people who came to watch the ceremony would leave Winter City one after another, especially the big lords like Marquis Morgan who have their own territories to manage.

   "He hasn't left yet?"

   "Yes, Marquis Morgan wants to completely remodel Iron Tree Castle. During this time, he has been wandering around in Winter City, visiting Digger and Edwin Van Cleef."

   Edwin Van Cleef is the chief designer of Winter City, and Winter City was designed by him.

   Later, the addition of Digger only accelerated the construction of Winter City, and Edwin's design plan was still used.

  Even though Winter City continues to add various new facilities, these new facilities still do not deviate from the original design framework.

  Marquis Morgan visited Edwin Van Cleef to inquire about how to rebuild Iron Tree Fort, and he found the right person.

   "Rebuild Iron Tree Fort..."

  Iron Tree Fort is located at the key entrance to the south of the Northern Plains, which is equivalent to the southern gateway of Winter City.

   People living in the eastern part of the Brunnia continent must go through Iron Tree Fort if they want to go to the northern plains.

  It can be said that Iron Tree Fort will be the facade of the Winter Kingdom. From this point of view, the city must be rebuilt.

   "Tell Edwin to come and see me."

  David was going to have a good talk with Edwin Van Cleef, and relayed his thoughts to Marquis Morgan through Edwin.

  According to David's idea, the entire city of Iron Tree Fort will be demolished: no matter the outer city or the inner city.

  Lay out various infrastructures from scratch, and then start building various facilities.

   Residential houses should be built at the end, and before that, the people of Iron Tree Fort will be arranged to live in the northern plains—all residents of Iron Tree Fort can choose:

  Rinwinter City will provide them with a temporary residence. After the reconstruction project of Iron Tree Fort is completed and a new residence is built, they can choose a new home from it;

  The new residence will be provided by Cold Winter City, and they will be directly exchanged for their home in Iron Tree Fort.

  Of course, the real trouble lies in the farmland of Iron Tree Fort, whether it belongs to nobles or farmers, how to deal with these farmlands when Iron Tree Fort is demolished and rebuilt?

   Abandoned? I'm afraid no one wants to!

  Let them continue farming by themselves? That would be more trouble to solve.

  Find someone to farm for you?

  After much deliberation, it seems that the most simple and straightforward way is to throw the waste away, and then the city of Winter will compensate the owners of these farmlands.

  That's the general direction, and David doesn't have to worry about the specific details and operations. Wetherby and his staff are in charge of these tasks.

  After such an operation, Iron Tree Fort will become a brand new modern city, and it will no longer be the original smelly and backward posture.

  At the same time, the various 'illegal buildings' around Iron Tree Fort can also be completely cleaned up, and the appearance of the city will be greatly improved.

  These low-level civilians who originally lived in the slums may become residents of the northern plains after living in the northern plains for a period of time, which can fill a large number of people for the newly built Port Tiran.

   Let David's plan to continuously expand the scope of Winter City until the entire northern plain becomes a city continue to move forward.

  After listening to David's thoughts, Edwin Van Cleef knew what he should do: don't care what Iron Tree Fort is like now, he just needs to design a new city based on the terrain around Iron Tree Fort.

   "Recently, you can think carefully about what kind of new city to design."

   After telling Van Cleef, David looked at the position of the sun outside and found that it was already afternoon.

  After half a day of questioning, he already knew the situation of Winter City during his departure.

  After dealing with these trivial matters, David went downstairs to take a look at the newly built front hall.

  Because it is an empty hall, it was built very quickly. This front hall is located on the south side of Glamorgan Castle, which is in front of the main entrance.

   It is connected to Glamorgan Castle by a corridor, which does not affect the entry and exit in the direction of the main entrance of Glamorgan Castle.

  The front hall has a good distance from Glamorgan Castle to ensure that this building will not affect the lighting of any area inside Glamorgan Castle.

   Enter the front hall through a short corridor, and there are two passages facing the left and right sides in front of you.

  You can walk into the side of the front hall by whichever passage you take: come out from the passage on the left and turn your head slightly to the right, you can see the throne on the steps facing the gate of the front hall.

  The entire front hall is empty and tall, and there are only a few thick stone pillars outside the throne, and there are no other objects.

   "Is this throne made of bare cast iron?"

  David saw at a glance the main material used to make the throne, and its high compatibility with the Holy Light was so easy to identify.

  Sitting on it, David could feel that the holy light in his body had established a certain connection with the throne. After just one breath, David knew that a lot of holy light spells were attached to the throne.

  Including Holy Shield, Powerful Healing, etc., it can ensure that David sitting on the throne will not be threatened in any way.

  Even if the entire front hall collapses, the holy light energy contained in the throne will form a huge energy shield in time, so that the falling stones will be bounced far enough to ensure that the throne and the area around the throne will not be buried.

  However, for David, these functions have no practical significance. Enchanting such a large number of spells for David's throne is simply to make a special enough throne, otherwise the craftsmen will think that it is not worthy of the great David-Glamorgan His Majesty.

   "Fortunately, the feeling of actually sitting on it is not as 'hard and uncomfortable' as it looks."

  The craftsmen who knew His Majesty Glamorgan's preferences very well, of course, couldn't make a throne with powerful enchantments, which looked extremely gorgeous, but was very uncomfortable to sit on.

  Anyone who is familiar with David knows that he attaches great importance to comfort and practicality. If it is uncomfortable to sit on, no matter how strong and special it is, the final result will only be kicked to pieces by His Majesty the King.

  So, this cold and hard throne made of many special metals feels similar to a lazy chair when sitting on it—except that the user does not sink into the chair, but into a ball of energy.
