When Roland got up in the morning, it was not Tyr who served him, but an older maid.When he came out of the bedroom, Chief Cavalry Carter was waiting for him outside.
"Your Highness, I have to tell you some sad news," he said solemnly, "your maid died last night.""What?" Roland's eyes twitched. Although he had known this result for a long time, he still felt a little uncomfortable. After all, this person is
Die for him."She fell from the balcony of the room. There were no signs of fighting at the scene, and the guards did not see outsiders coming in or out. So...it should be that she was not involved.
Be careful if you fall, it was an accident. "The rider reported the results of the investigation and looked at Roland with a strange look. Of course Roland knew what he was thinking. When he was in Graycastle,
it was well known that the Fourth Prince wanted to seize Tire many times. In this era, it is normal for a prince to have a relationship with his maid. There are few entertainmentactivities and almost no night life. When you have enough to eat and nothing to do, you will naturally think about making children. Not only do they make their own, but they
also exchange women with the princes and upper-class nobles, and even get together to have a wedding party, so the chaos in your circle is not just a joke.The four princes were already relatively restrained in this regard. After being replaced by Roland, they had never even touched a woman. Except for Tyr, the other maids
His level can be described as shabby. In addition, he would have to face the Demonic Moon after traveling through time. His mind was almost completely filled with plans, and he had no time toenjoy the aristocratic life of snowflakes and snow.
"It's really a pity," Roland pretended to feel sorry, "I leave Tire's funeral affairs to the elderly maid who served me this morning.Bar. She is the new maid. "
Carter nodded, saluted and left.As soon as Roland stepped into the office, he saw Nightingale sitting on the red table.
"Did you ask anything?"
"Nothing, she committed suicide when she saw me," she said in a somewhat depressed tone, "too fast, without even the slightest hesitation."
"You didn't stop her?" Roland walked around and sat back on the armchair."I tied her up," Nightingale leaned forward and leaned closer, "Who would have thought that there was poison hidden in her breasts. I had to fake it.
Falling outside. ""I thought you had so much experience that you still had the nerve to accept payment like this?"
"Hey, don't say that. Although I didn't ask anything from her, it doesn't mean that I learned nothing." Nightingale chuckled twice and turned over a picture.The folded paper was placed in front of Roland, "I found it in her room."
Roland unfolded the paper. It was a letter from home. The sender called Tire his sister. The content was just ordinary chat. However, he noticed the other party many timesShe mentioned the sea, saying that the seaside scenery is so beautiful and she likes to stay on the beach and watch the sunset. At the end of the letter, she asked her sister when she would come
back. She missed her sister very much. Thinking of the territory of several brothers and sisters, Roland said uncertainly, "The Third Princess of Bishui Port?""That's probably what happened. Your two brothers can't see the sea. According to my guess, the third queen, Garcia Wimbledon, is holding her sister hostage and treating her as a hidden chess
piece. Judging from the decisiveness of her suicide, it is unlikely that it was arranged randomly. In other words, she had received relevant training for at least two to three years before being placed withyou. "
Roland sighed softly. Sure enough, the battle for the king would not end so easily. Even if he doesn't fight, it doesn't mean he's staying out of it. for the kingHowever, his brothers and sisters have no worries at all. I am afraid that similar things will happen again in the future.
"Ah, someone is here. I'll take my leave now, Your Highness."The nightingale blew teasingly at Roland, and then disappeared into thin air in the blink of an eye.
Although it was not the first time he saw it, Roland was still shocked by Da Tiantian's play. He hesitated for a moment and looked towards the empty table.He stretched out his finger tentatively, but was intercepted halfway by a hand that was only soft to the touch. "Your Highness, if you do this, Anna will be hurt."
Well, it seems that her ability is to become invisible rather than disappear, Roland thought, otherwise it would be too scary.
There was a knocking sound outside the door, "Your Highness, I am Barov."
Roland retracted his fingers and returned to his expressionless look, "Come in."The assistant came into the office carrying a large bundle of files and started reporting on the government affairs of the past week before his buttocks started to feel hot. Roland also stopped thinking
and listened to him attentively. After more than a month of practice, he found that he could keep up with the opponent's rhythm, instead of being confused and completely confused at the beginning.In general, Bianbia Town's finances have improved to a certain extent, mainly due to the nearly two hundred yuan gained after selling the ore and raw stone to Liuye Town.
Coin gold. After the money was used to buy food and distribute wages, there were still 90 coins left.Barov is also in a good mood, and with enough money in hand, it will not be too difficult to survive this winter.
However, Roland was destined not to let him idle. "I want to select a group of people from the leaders to fight against the evil beasts. From now on, they must gather together."Get up and train. My chief rider will be the instructor. I will explain the specific situation to him. You need to make a purchase plan. This group of people must have strong armor and a long gun, as
well as two sets of interchangeable winter coats. ""Your Highness, this...according to convention, isn't it a temporary recruitment of leaders to fight?"
"A team that goes to the battlefield without training is just a ragtag crowd. Can the number of people scare away the evil beasts? It would be more troublesome to break up.""Are you really planning to defend Border Town?" Barov asked hesitantly.
"If we really can't defend it, of course we will retreat, but I don't think we can even deal with a few mutated beasts.""If you go according to your plan, you will have to spend more money."
The other party's stingy look made Roland laugh. "These are necessary expenses, so go ahead and do it."He still has more than 300 gold coins in his own treasury, which is mainly used to pay for the construction of the city wall. Order the materials needed for the steam engine from the blacksmith's shop
I also paid for the parts and components myself. The first one cost almost 20 gold coins, but he still needs at least three more.
It is true that the steam engine drove the first industrial revolution, but it does not mean that the steam engine equals the industrial revolution. Historically, Britain had developed to the point where
it was in urgent need of a new driving force to replace people and livestock to meet production needs in mining areas. After Walter improved the steam engine, he immediately received a large numberof orders. This new power also spread to various industries in a short period of time.
At this time, Border Town had no foundation for industrial revolution, and it could even be said that industry did not even exist. Therefore, Roland did not expect to make his first bucket of gold byselling steam engines. He only wanted to invest in such machines in the Beishan mining area for pulling ore and crushing rocks. After the mine output increases, then expanding the scale of steam
engine use is equivalent to promoting industrial development from top to bottom.
