Dark mountains.

After seeing the place pointed out by Gao Wen, everyone can't help but look at it.

The first one who couldn’t help but break the silence was the Western Grand Duke Berdwin Franklin. He widened his eyes: "You... sure?"

"What's the reason?" Gao Wen smiled. "Is there still a place in this place?"

"That's not..." Francis II shook his head. "The entire dark mountain range and the more southerly places are unowned. It does meet the requirements of the pioneering decree, but that place is not only close to the Titan Empire, but also to the south. Directly connected to the wasteland, it is..."

The dark mountain range is part of the southern border of Ansu. Its eastern section extends to the Titan empire, and the western section spreads hundreds of kilometers along the border of Ansu, and then bends a small angle to the south. Just smashed the soil in the decay of the earth. In theory, even the southern strip-shaped plain of the Dark Mountain Range is also the territory of Ansu, but in fact the place that the Kingdom can control can only reach the north side of the mountain range - and the control is quite limited.

The most important reason is the existence of the waste soil.

The land is still shrouded by the chaotic elements of power and magic power, and the raging rot of the earth makes the earth almost inanimate and full of toxins that are deadly to humans.

Although its scope is no longer spreading, the toxic dust storms that occasionally blow with the wind and the occasional wandering monsters are threatening to death in the margins of wasteland.

Historically, after the stability of the Ansu Kingdom, there have been attempts to make several recoils in the South. They even had plans to recapture their homeland, but in the end all efforts failed. The purification of waste soil is extremely difficult and full of repetitive, and income and effort are totally inconsistent. The pioneering bases that were barely established in the early days will often be destroyed by toxic dust storms and monsters when they fail to produce output. Therefore, the Ansu royal family withdraws. All the pioneering teams stopped at the north side of the dark mountains.

Then, as the northern part of the kingdom became more prosperous and established diplomatic relations with the Violet kingdom, the kingdom’s center of gravity shifted further toward the north, and with the “fog-month civil war” a hundred years ago, the southern Cecil family collapsed overnight, south. The situation has further deteriorated and regressed. Today, the entire dark mountain range and most of the surrounding areas are no different from wasteland.

The ruin of the mountains that passed over the mountains even corrupted the plains in the northern part of the mountains.

But Gao Wen just smiled a little: "I faced a worse situation than that. I talked about political struggles and intrigues. I might not be as good as you, but when it comes to confronting sinister nature, you are definitely better than not. Come on me."

Whether it is really true or not, just blow a wave and say .jpg.

Since Gao Wen himself is so confident, the rest of the scene will certainly not continue to worry about him. For the King and other nobles, whether Gao Wen Cecil can stand firm in the South is not what they care about. The only thing they care about is when this hot potato can leave the king. Since Gao Wen took the initiative to choose a place where no bird wouldn’t be jealous, what else would he say?

Hurry and congratulate the ancestors of the ancestors!

If it were necessary to agree on some details, Francis II had almost prepared the carriage for the Gaowen family...

After finalizing the most important issue of the right to exploit, Gao Wen took advantage of the fact that Francis II acknowledged several other "insignificant little things."

First of all, the Duke of Govin Cecil must survive, but for the time being only his personal reputation, and can not be inherited to any child, unless the Cecier family has already opened up in the South when Gao Wen died again (no error). The vast land, or other merits, will be judged according to its land and merits.

This is actually a nondescript scheme. It is the product of the covenant status of Gao Wen Cecil and the broken thing 100 years ago. No one dares to deprive the founding father of the country, but there is no way to make a Viscount family. Directly jumped into the Duke, so I had to be so compromised. To be frank, this is totally inconsistent with any law since Ansu, but what logic do you have with someone who comes out of the coffin?

The ancestors did not even tell you about the physics, but also tell you the truth! ?

The so-called "temporarily non-inheritable", the discerning person knows that this is just a drag and a time, to give an account to the existing aristocratic system.

In addition, the Ansu royal family will fully recognize the complete autonomy of the Cecil family in the newly exploited land - just as the founding father recognizes the autonomy of any pioneering leader.

Coupled with some fragmented conventions, in the end, Gao Wen got the results he wanted.

A country in the middle of the country that is not disturbed by people.

In fact, these contents have already been fixed. When the Prince Edmund visited in advance, Gao Wen had already set up a line with the king. Now he is just a passing in the oak hall.

No one at the scene objected to these contents - anyway, the Cecil family is going to a barren land, and how many territories they will not affect the vested interests of any family now, since there is no conflict in the interests, Then the nominal conflict is well resolved.

Francis II signed a new pioneering instrument on the spot, announcing that according to the ancient law, the Cecil family will have the right to exploit all the land between the dark mountains and the surrounding land of any kingdom, and announce that it will be the pioneering activity. Provide the necessary support – including a team of 100 people of all kinds of artisans and mages apprentices, as well as the food and cloth needed to develop the first year.

Among them, craftsmen and apprentices will have been in the development of the collar for three years. After three years, they can choose to stay, but if someone stays, the Cecil family will have to "buy" to the royal family at the price of one person for 30 gold coins. they.

These support is not much, but Gao Wen is already very satisfied. For the current poor and white Cecil family, this can be an urgent need.

The gold, silver and mineral ingots in the treasures of the mountains can't be directly turned into food, and they can't become skilled craftsmen. In this long-term, the word "exploitation" has become a distant history, no one wants to leave the stable homeland. Going to a place next to the wasteland, the one hundred craftsmen and apprentices will be the most precious wealth.

This can also be said to be the kindness expressed by Francis II on behalf of the Ansu royal family to Gao Wen--thanks to the founding father of the public for his blood.

The deal is over and everyone is happy, and a banquet is indispensable after a transaction that is both satisfactory to both parties.

The oak hall was re-closed, and the banquet hall on the second floor of the castle hosted a feast. The food and wine were placed on the table. The king and his most trusted aristocrats wanted to celebrate the return of a legendary hero. Many could not be called. The nobility of the name did not know where it was hidden before, and all of them came out at once, and the ballroom was full of excitement.

Those new ones that were not eligible to enter the Oak Hall but were qualified to know the outcome of the meeting in the first place, they have been waiting in the lounges of Silver Fort for a full half day until the attendants ran into the ballroom. They rang the copper bells that were ready for the celebration, and they appeared with a smile.

Rebecca was involved in this kind of occasion for the first time - this lonely lord lady has never been in such a magnificent place since she was a child, and she has grown up from small to large due to the exclusion of the Cecil family by the entire aristocratic circle. I have not participated in several decent banquets. The grandest banquet in her impression was that when she was 16 years old, her father gave himself a very lively celebration in the castle, but it was just a long table full of food.

It is completely different from the banquet in Silver Fort.

The whole hall is full of long tables, all of which are delicious foods for everyone. The center of the hall is where the ladies and gentlemen dance, and the ornate band plays the music on the stage on the side of the hall. Masters Unleash magic in the four corners of the hall, constantly creating a variety of wonderful glare and falling snow in midair - let the precious wizards create the illusion of this sizzling atmosphere, which in Rebecca's view is simply Unbelievable things.

His Majesty the King... It’s rich.

At the beginning, Rebecca also tried to make a mature and stable appearance on the face, but soon, the girl's nature overwhelmed the point that she forced it out. She grabbed Gao Wen’s hand and asked this question. Gao Wen is smiling with a smile based on her memory and the imagination of the passer.

Rebecca's bun-like performance did not hide the big aristocrats who had long polished their eyes, but they did not show any contempt for the little lord from the country - perhaps a little bit, but Govin Cecil stood Beside Rebecca, this inseparable "parent" makes everyone have to converge on a contemptuous mentality, at least on the surface to Rebecca smile.

Then, a few young people came to invite Rebecca to dance together - presumably they felt that the Cecil family now has more town ancestors, and they have some potential value of close relationship, but these people All were blocked by Gao Wen.

When I was joking, Rebecca was caught in the general brain and the character of the head iron. I couldn’t get along in the south. I didn’t even have to sell the whole family with Wangdu’s guy who helped the monkey monkey.

“Excessive protection does not allow children to grow up,” a gentle male voice came from the side. “The Viscount Rebecca is an adult, and you should give her more exposure to the social circles of the upper class.”

Gao Wen went back and saw that the Westward Grand Duke Berdwin Franklin was standing behind him, while standing with Paterson was the Northern Grand Duke Victoria Verde.

"I died early in the year, and I didn't have much experience in teaching children." Gao Wen shrugged and said nothing.

Bai Dewen: "..."

Victoria: "..."

"And I feel that even if I don't stop, Rebecca has no time to take care of others."

Gao Wen said as he pointed to his N+1 granddaughter, this young lady, who was kneeling at the nearby long table and eating a seaweed...

"It’s really...rateful." The Duke of Berdwin said dryly.

Gao Wen smiled and looked at Victoria Verde, who was standing in the face and staring indifferently: "I have some questions to ask the girl of Wilde than the educated descendants."
