Gergil felt he saw a lunatic.

If planning to build a city on a swamp is already a foolish dream, then transforming the wetlands into plains is something that a lunatic would do.

The wetland area is about 1,000 square kilometers. Even a powerful caster, it is almost impossible to transform such a large swamp into a plain. If this is done by only a few casters, it will take at least a hundred years. If a large number of casters are hired to help, then the cost of gold coins must be counted.

Unless the power of the whole country is gathered, we want to completely transform the wetlands into plains, unless there are signs.

And a young aristocrat actually said that he wanted to turn the swamp into a plain, which is really an exaggeration.

Gegill finally calmed down his mentality. He asked: "Since you are going to build a city, you must need a lot of stone. I wonder if you are interested in working with me. Price, a large supply of quality stone for you. "

This is the real intention of Geer to invite Beta. It turned out that nobles like Beta, after obtaining a territory, even in an environment such as wetlands, used magic to solidify a small site and build a castle. There was no problem.

Since a castle is to be built, a large amount of stone is needed. There is not much in the city of Harvey, but there is more stone.

Although the Gangti family was considered a very wealthy noble in the city of Harvey, Gergill was not disgusted to make more money. No one would ever think too much about money.

But he did not expect that Beta would actually intend to build a city on the swamp.

Regardless of whether the other party's idea is feasible or not, crazy or not, Gergill sees big single business from it. Even if the city cannot be built, as long as construction is started, it will definitely require a lot of stone, which means a lot of gold coins.

Beta heard this, and was quite interested. Although she said that it was only one fold lower than the market price, she could save a lot of gold coins if the quantity was large. Moreover, there are only half of the BRICS in Beta space now. It is not enough to build a city. He not only needs to open source, but also needs to reduce expenditures. Otherwise, the city will not be built, and he will certainly become a poor man.

"About this, I can talk about it in detail after my caravan is established." Beta agreed, and then asked curiously: "I just found out that the city owner seems to be too indifferent to this banquet. . "

"Oh, it's always been like this. There's nothing for this man to say." Gergil smiled slightly.

When Beta saw Gigir's expression a little strange, knowing that he was unwilling to say more about the matter, he did not pursue it. Then Gergill introduced him to several nobles and met him. After a while with Beta, they took Shirley and Jessica back to the hotel.

On the carriage, Jessica patted her swollen belly with a satisfied look.

As a former beggar, Jessica was very interested in what to eat. She used to eat less because she was afraid that she would eat poorly, so she kept on having an appetite. Now someone is asking her to eat at a banquet. She will not miss such an opportunity to eat a special meal.

And Shirley was sitting beside Beta, and said strangely, "I just talked with the ladies for a long time, and then I found that they despise the Lord of the city, and from time to time he said bad things, but I could n’t ask For reasons, they seem to be tight-lipped about the city owner's affairs and do not know what is going on. "

"I found it, too." Beta nodded. "It's the same with Gergil."

Shirley was a little worried: "It seems that the division of power in this city seems strange, and I don't know if it will affect our plan."

"About the city owner, we can ask someone to ask." Beta smiled. "For example, Amanda."

At noon the next day, Amanda routinely came to the hotel to report the progress of the caravan recruitment to Beta.

She was wearing a white cotton coat, and although she could not see the curve of her body, she also had a delicate and pleasant taste.

After listening to the report, Beta asked her to sit down and said, "I went to a banquet last night, and then I found a very strange thing. As Harvey ’s most powerful city lord, it seemed that it was impossible at the banquet. Human heart. No one wants to talk to him, and no lady asks him to dance. People have a disdainful hostility towards him, and I'm curious if you know anything. "

Amanda shook her head: "How could things between nobles be known to a small businessman like me?"

Beta smiled, and looked at her quietly for a while before she said, "The intelligence fee of a gold coin."

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this statement by the businessman. As soon as Beta had finished speaking, the face of the Oman family changed slightly, and she shook her head and said, "Sir, I really don't know."

"Five gold coins." Beta increased the intelligence fee.

Amanda's expression was already wonderful at this time, and her face was obviously hesitant. After a while, she said, "Sir, I still don't know."

Beta said admiringly: "You are indeed a credible businessman, tight-lipped. But I believe there are many people in the city who know the news, and they are not the same as you. I will decide to go to the mercenary union soon One trip, maybe they know something. "

"Wait. You don't have to go." Amanda slammed the desktop heavily, then said helplessly: "Mr. Beta, you are really my nemesis, knowing that I don't have any resistance to gold coins. Despicable ... now you can give me five gold coins. "

Five gold coins, for many little nobles, are small sums, not to mention a businessman like Amanda.

Beta took out five gold coins, put them on the table, and then said, "If you have other valuable information, I will add one or two more gold coins to you."

"Okay." Amanda's eyes flashed brightly.

Shirley on the side, too, came over, and she was quite interested in it.

Amanda took a deep breath and said, "The Lord you saw last night was just the nominal Lord. We, the city of Harvey, haven't been Lord for over 300 years."

"What does this mean?" Beta heard some doubts. "This is the land of Hollewon. If a city owner has no city owner, the royal family will reappoint it. How could there be no city owner, and it is still more than three hundred years."

"I knew you would ask that. Our family has been here for more than 400 years, and just happened to know about it." Amanda laughed. "Please listen to what you say, and you can ask questions afterwards."

Beta made a please gesture.

Amanda immediately told the story.

It turned out that more than 300 years ago, the city of Javier originally had a city owner, but I do n’t know why, all of a sudden, all the men in the city's family died violently. And the method of death was terrible. When it was cut into two pieces by unknown forces, or it got up on the spot, it seemed as if it had received an invisible attack.

Within a day, all the males in the city's house died, leaving only women and children. But those women and children were soon "swallowed" by other aristocrats. Within five days, the city owner's family had all died.

When Beta heard this, she frowned. At this time point more than 300 years ago, and the death of the man in the city's house, he thought of an extremely bad possibility.

Then the nobles of the city of Harvey, in order to permanently control this stone-rich city, joined together to do a good show. They found a poor man in the city who was similar to the successor of the city owner at the time, and helped him to the position of the city owner, and then they controlled him behind the scenes. Because of this relationship, Wang Cheng has never known that the owner of the city has changed people, so he did not reassign the owner.

In this way, several large aristocratic families have controlled the city of Harvey for more than 300 years. This is already a semi-public secret in Javier. Only foreign talents will not know.

"It's a very interesting story." Beta took out seven gold coins from the space and put them on the table. "This is what you deserve."

"What a gracious noble lord."

After complimenting Beta, Amanda rushed away with the gold coins.

Then Beta leaned back against the back of the chair and sighed long.

Shirley was aside, and asked a little worriedly, "Master, you don't seem very happy."

"It's a bit." Beta smiled bitterly: "If my guess is correct, it was most likely me who killed the male of the owner of the city that year."

Shirley's eyes widened: "How could it be? Although your master's style of work and etiquette are very good and seem mature, but I can be sure that your body is definitely still young and cannot be over 300 Old man. "

"Really. I ordered the killing of all the adult males in the Lord's family." Beta thought for a while, and said frankly, "they will do that kind of misery, which involves a strange thing that I can't explain to you."

Shirley clutched Beta's neck from behind ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ and said softly: "Even if you kill well? I believe you will never kill someone for no reason."

It really isn't for no reason. Beta remembers that in the game, he had a serious conflict with the owner of the city of Harvey, and even reached the point where you lived. In the end, he led the Knights and broke through the city of Harvey ... He personally ordered the execution of all adult males in the owner's family, and then exiled all female members.

He did not expect that things in the game would be so faithfully reflected in reality.

What he didn't even think of was that in reality, the daughter-in-law of the city owner, Javier, had been killed by other nobles, and none was left.

Beta's mood was a bit gloomy. He didn't regret what happened in the game. He just didn't expect that the reality would become so cruel because of the game, just like fate.

Although he does not believe in fate, he is not at the mercy of fate.

Just as he was sad, the waiter outside the door came and reported:

The city owner visits!
