Chapter 876 (2/2)
”Aren't you always asking me how the machine in my mine operates?” He talked proudly in front of a bunch ofin front of you—it's His Majesty Roland himself! This is a once in a lifetiion You can get the answer directly here in Silver City!”
The merchants immediately swarmed over
”Your Majesty, could you tell us why its power is so strong?”
”If you're willing to sell more rail syste forward to working with Neverwinter”
”Your Majesty, do you reo, we provided you with several sailing shi+ps to transport refugees froth, we're definitely one of the best Chaion If possible, the Fastsail association wishes to buy a coine And naturally, at a very generous price!
Rearet had revealed to hi will bring a large nuion” Unexpectedly, he had actually met them beforehand
The world would have been such a nice place if everywhere in Graycastle was like Silver City
After satisfying the merchants' curiosity, he finally found a chance to speak privately with the old lord
They walked through the hall and went to an open air balcony, te behind the buzz of the party
Roland held his wine glass and after staring at the city for a long time, he finally said, ”To hand over your city power like this, aren't you feeling any regret?”
”It was never actually ret” Earl William sh they never said it clearly, they would have never allowed Silver City to have its own cluster And it's a rule for the William family to never have their own cities As far as I'm concerned, this power isn't so important” He paused for a moment”Not to mention that I don't actually need this power”
”You don't need it?” Roland could not help but ask curiously
”The actual reason for the city a province is to expand and consolidate your power to prevent others fro down on you But Silver City does not have this risk—anyone ants to attack this city will blatantly provoke the authority of the Wi asattacked” The Earl had a sip of wine and continued, ”In turn, feudal power is also in a sense a weakening of your oer—through it, one has to allocate part of his own resources to others in order to gain their allegiance Co out these resources to other people, I'd prefer to e them by myself Do you kno much the output of Silver City has increased in the past 20 years?”
Roland shook his head
”As y into it” The old lord said with high spirits, ”At first, it was just an open-air silver ht now the excavated mineral veins have reached more than 10 different kinds In addition, at first there was only an excavation team sent by the royal family, but now, not only are there are all kinds of ore and jewel merchants, but also , such as oil laine can also be considered as one of them, am I correct?”
”Indeed,” Roland said with a smile
”This feeling is like raising a child and watching it slowly grow up Why would I be willing to split and share it with others? That's why I don't need such a power” After saying that, the Earl sighed ”Your Majesty, do you wish to let ht for you?”
”Of course, if you wish to” Roland lifted his wine glass towards hilasses gently
”Oh right,” Roland changed the subject after finishi+ng his drink, ”do you know about the Gilen Family?”
”Gilen?” Earl Willia his eyebrow ”I think I reme time for a new noble family to appear in Silver City All those families were here before the discovery of the silver ed his fas to the Somi family”
When he said those words, Roland instantly felt Nightingale's grip on his arm
