Mage Lord: The Tech Tree is Skewed by Me

"Then what you mean is...should we reject Helson's letter?"

After hearing the Duke's words, Deol asked with some uncertainty.

As the Duke of Sorrowwind Castle, Perel was dispatching troops in the north of the kingdom, and as the third prince who also coveted the throne, Herson, the son-in-law of the Duke of Galicia, was naturally not far behind.

Although he was slightly inferior in terms of military strength, the young prince had already sent the private letters to the Duke of Galicia.

"Why refuse?" asked the Duke.

"ah?"

Deor was stunned and couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't you say earlier that if the Kingdom of Andal falls into chaos due to the internal war of succession, then there is no guarantee that the Kingdom of Walras to the north will not invade?"

"The fiefdom of the Bravis family is in the south of the kingdom." The Duke replied meaningfully.

A nobleman of iron and a king of flowing water.

As a noble family that has taken root in the city of Parma for nearly a hundred years, the interests of the Braves family are the most important thing in the Duke's heart.

Unless the army of the Kingdom of Walras flattens the northern border, breaks through the royal capital, and then goes all the way south.

Otherwise, even if the Duke of Galicia, a vassal, needs to send troops north and provide money and food, the family's fiefdom will not be affected by the war.

Even if they suffer losses, other nobles will definitely suffer even worse than themselves!

As a result, the status of the Bravis family in the Kingdom of Andal will probably skyrocket. If they succeed in putting their son-in-law, the third prince Herson, on the throne...

Tsk tsk!

Can't even think about it!

Neither refuse nor agree, while accumulating strength and observing the situation.

This is what the Duke is thinking now.

In his opinion, only when both Wilbert I and the Duke of Sorrowwind were harmed could the third prince Helson he supported finally have the possibility of ascending to the throne.

"Reply to Herson, do not refuse or agree. This is not the time to get involved in this conflict."

The Duke of Galicia drank a glass of wine and said calmly.

I have to say that if Mary I hadn't suddenly passed away, the Duke of Galicia could be said to be very happy during these days.

The moonlight velvet shipped from Antolia not only brought a lot of wealth to the Jimena family, but also brought considerable income to the Bravis family.

To weave more moon velvet, more people are needed, and more people need more food.

Unfortunately, Antolia relies almost entirely on imported food, at least for now.

so……

He made money once by selling moonlight velvet, and made another time by selling grain. The golden escudos were put into the pocket of the Duke. He felt that he was so smart!

…

Of course Leon didn't know what the Duke of Galicia was planning at this time, and even if he knew, he didn't care.

Since he cannot influence the decision of his duke lord, the only thing Leon can do is to continue to accumulate strength.

As the uneasiness caused by Mary's fall from the horse gradually dissipated, everything in Antolia returned to Leon's familiar track.

The news of collecting red cordyceps has been sent out, and the second group of settlers heading to the southwestern highlands has also set out on the road.

At this moment, Leon only had one thing in his eyes.

That is the renovation plan of the old house in Thorn Territory. After a huge project that lasted almost an entire winter, it was finally officially completed!

Accompanied by Aaron, Leon walked on the streets of Thorn Territory today, feeling in a good mood.

Although it is called old house renovation, the things that need to be renovated are obviously not just old houses. This is a re-planning of the entire old city of Thorn Territory and a reshaping of the living habits of the people in the territory.

Dirty living conditions can easily become a breeding ground for diseases, closely packed dangerous buildings can easily help spread fires, and narrow, crowded and muddy roads are also something Leon can't stand.

so……

Aaron fully understood the spirit of Leon's speech, and started from these aspects to renovate the entire city from beginning to end.

Those originally crumbling houses had already been demolished by workers in Antolia, and all buildings that did not comply with regional planning were required to be relocated.

As for the feces that was originally scattered in every corner of the city, it disappeared without a trace. Under Aaron's supervision, new public toilets were built in the city.

Although these dry toilets cannot be said to be very clean, at least they have concentrated the sources of pollution, hired workers to clean and collect them regularly, and can also provide a steady stream of raw materials for land reclamation projects outside the city.

And if someone ignores the Viscount's orders and still urinates indiscriminately, the Antolia militiamen will naturally let this person know what the strong folk customs mean.

Leon's plan for this city is actually somewhat similar to a city in a large Eastern country.

Different areas are strictly divided and each has its own functions.

What?

You say that such a plan is not conducive to business development?

Sorry, Antolia has no business at all.

Almost all profitable businesses are controlled by the Jimena family. On weekdays, the residents can only buy and sell some basic living supplies. They really don't care about commerce or not.

Although there are no high walls blocking the various areas, it also gives the whole city a completely new look. In other words, there was no city founded in this era, otherwise it would have been rated as an Andal civilized city.

However, what pleased Leon most was not the brand-new cityscape, but the roads he stepped on.

After Sherman's constant attempts, the experienced dwarf craftsman finally found the best ratio of Gruum slime and stone dust clay.

Although Leon calls this adhesive made of Gruum slime as the main raw material cement, the roads in Antolia are not actually the cement roads that were common in Leon's previous life.

This is a kind of concrete road that is not too hard or not hard. It is said that it is soft but is actually a little hard. It is said that it is hard but is actually a little soft and not too hard.

As for why this is done, it is naturally because horses are still the main riding tool in this era.

If they were all made into that kind of hard cement pavement...even if horseshoes were installed on the horses' hooves, Antolia's horses would not be able to withstand such consumption.

Adapt measures to local conditions and take advantage of the situation.

Since hard roads are not suitable for the current Antolia, Leon will naturally have to make changes.

But no matter what, the road under his feet made Leon feel particularly excited.

This is a feeling that is difficult to describe. If I want to describe it in general, it would be a road that will not raise dust due to strong winds or become muddy due to rainfall.

"Sherman, there are many rewards!"
