Chapter 684: The three returned to Sheldon Castle to rest
After talking to the king, Sendi was so happy that he could not believe the treatment the king gave him.
Now he has been clearly appointed as a frontier official, which is equivalent to the treatment of a duke! You know, even if a family struggles for a hundred or even a thousand years, it may not be able to have such a lofty status.
There is no doubt that the biggest beneficiary of this war in Southern Xinjiang is Sendi. There were not many grand dukes in the empire, and after this war, many grand dukes died, which vacated the positions for Sendi to take over.
Back then, when Sendy betrayed the Zaun Empire and came here, the war eagle eggs he carried with him became the key to his rapid rise to fame.
All this made him sigh at the fickleness of fate. He became a Grand Duke by accident, and Miss Blainey's help undoubtedly played a crucial role in this.
Sendi went to the front hall of the palace in a happy mood, ready to wait for Kashin and his companions to return. They had gone to the West Camp in the suburbs before, and it was unknown whether they had returned yet.
In any case, Sandy plans to rest in Sheldon Castle for a while and enjoy this hard-earned glory.
As soon as he arrived at the front hall, Sendi was warmly received by the palace maids, who quickly served him coffee and various fruits, making him feel very comfortable.
He then took out a book and spent his time leisurely. After all, ministers often came here to wait for an audience, so the service level was naturally quite high.
The king is still in the stage of recuperation, so all government affairs are referred to the crown prince and the queen. Generally speaking, they are all issues related to the implementation of the new policy. Most of the ministers come to ask for money, which shows that the new policy is very costly.
The identity badges of freemen are all newly made and use magical anti-counterfeiting technology. The officials who have come now are here to apply for funding, and the task has been given to the Magic Association to help with customization.
Sandy sighed: "The king has been led astray by Miss Blainey, and the way he spends money is exactly the same. No other country has ever equipped civilians with magic badges with anti-counterfeiting features and their own bank accounts. This is also true. People have the means of production and private property, and banks have become an indispensable necessity of life..."
This operation means that the kingdom is bringing civilians under its management. The court knows exactly how many people there are in a country, and magic can achieve accurate statistics.
It would be very difficult for the nobles to conceal the population, so the princes could no longer become powerful.
Around dusk, Kashen and Tan Aili appeared in the front hall: "Senior, sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time. It took some time to inspect the military camp. If you have nothing else, let's use the teleportation array to return to Shadowmoon City! I haven't had a meal in the castle for a long time..."
"You two are indeed busy. You kept me waiting for so long. Let's go!" Sandy closed the book with a smile, stood up happily and followed them out.
The reward for the mountain division is a matter that is handled by the officials and has nothing to do with them. As for the war against the Maya Alliance, it is no longer a matter of concern to Tan Aili. Kashen also handed over the surrendered Maya Association and Knight Denton to the brother troops, so he can rest at home for a while.
An hour later, the three entered Sheldon Castle. Tan Aili had not been home for half a year, and she was overjoyed to see the huge changes before her. A large section of the alchemical wall had been completed, and the outline of the city had taken shape.
I approached a section of the city wall in front of me. It was about twenty meters high and covered with magical plants. If my estimation was correct, it had a certain protective effect. Through the control of the formation, these vines could definitely cast magic.
"Idiot, I finally saw the real thing. When I left, the space was still empty. It was well worth the money!"
"Let's walk along the city wall for a while. It's 300 meters to the west. It protects the core assets of Sheldon Castle. Don't worry! In a few years, this place will be Sheldon City."
"Okay, let's come back and rest for a while, waiting for the army to report. We must do what we promised the king to take over the Quick Province!"
Sendy: "Such a magnificent wall is rare in the world. Although it is not as big as Shadow Moon City, its cost is dozens of times that of Shadow Moon City. It has its strategic significance. Perhaps this is the most difficult wall to capture! Skull vines, poison mist vines, and arrow vines. If these can be controlled, ordinary soldiers cannot get close..."
"Haha, the seeds that Viteta sold to us were given to Emily at that time. Although other sections have not been completed yet, she has already started planting them. It seems that Rupert's laboratory is working! With this scale, the seeds can basically achieve self-sufficiency and plant the city walls section by section. Yes, these plants consume the magic elements and energy water provided by the energy pool..."
The three men entered the city with satisfaction. Although the moat had not been dug yet, there would be one in the future. While they were out fighting, the construction of their home never stopped.
After walking a long way into the castle, we saw that trade was gradually recovering, so there were busy caravans transporting goods everywhere. Tan Aili felt that it was worth going out to fight, and the family business could be started ahead of schedule.
The three of them entered the castle and were received by Emily. Without saying much, they sat at the table and had a delicious meal. The food they had these days was just enough to keep them alive. Only when they got home could they have a meal...
"Little sister, thank you for your hard work. How are the two children?"
"Sister, everything is fine. You can ask the wet nurse to bring the child over later. Let's eat first. Fortunately, no one has eaten yet. Let's eat together!"
Kashin: "Yes, let's talk about it later. Ask the kitchen to put more beef leg. I miss the taste of home so much. Where's Rupert?"
Emily raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said softly: "He spends most of his time in the laboratory and rarely comes to the castle for meals. After all, the kitchen facilities there are definitely not worse than those in the castle.
Moreover, all the magicians from Vita have joined his laboratory, and the work is extremely busy. The castle has also sent more than a hundred people to help with chores, and there are also a group of apprentices practicing in the laboratory, so..."
She paused for a moment and then continued, "That's good. After the laboratory is completed and officially put into use, I can go to the laboratory to visit Rupert every day, and then go to see grandpa after dinner."
Emily and Sendy have a mentor-apprentice relationship, so naturally they chatted a little. During the conversation, Emily also called Sendy's fiancée over to have dinner together and discuss the wedding preparations. Although the fiancée is nominally Tan Aili's sister, in fact, this is also to raise Sendy's status.
At this moment, grandpa walked into the dining room with a pipe in his mouth. When he saw Kashin coming back, a happy smile immediately appeared on his face. The family sat together happily, enjoying a sumptuous dinner and chatting happily until late, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
And Sandy and his fiancée walked hand in hand towards the guest room. Tonight was undoubtedly a wonderful night for them, and it could be considered a good thing that came in pairs.
Anyway, the wedding will be held in a few days, so no one will talk too much about it...
