Chapter 296 (2/2)
The alchemists sent by the Academy took out the drawings and planning guidelines they had designed countless times; Spell casters who are proficient in spell learning are directly involved in the construction work together with apprentices; Herbalists and pharmacists set out to eliminate the plagues and diseases caused by large-scale death
Even the refugees who survived the disaster and had no permanent residence and the villagers outside the city got a job in this huge reconstruction work. There is also a promise that they can have shelter after the restoration in the south of the city without paying poll tax.
For eboden workshops, large and small, the repair work also needs a lot of materials, equipment and materials... And all these things can become their orders!
In short, with the opportunity of reconstruction, the free parliament not only cleaned up large and small hideouts, but also greatly stimulated the economy falling due to destruction. At the same time, it solved the hidden dangers of refugees and revitalized the city, which is really a lot with one stone.
As for the expenses of the whole reconstruction work, although eboden is rich in the whole empire, such huge expenses are still not affordable by the free Parliament. They usually borrow from the free nobles in the city, and the nobles also believe in the credit of the free parliament... And usury under the credit.
But this time, because of the seizure of the belongings of the Bellini family and their followers, the free parliament led by corona not only didn't borrow a penny, but also got a lot of high debts.
Quietly and unpredictably, the ”prophecy” of a prince seems to be gradually coming true - as long as three months, wizards can restore eboden to its original state, even better than the past!
The one who did all this was the old man in front of him... Slowly put down the blinds, and the black haired wizard's eyes returned to corona.
Compared with him a week ago, the old man's face not only did not increase many wrinkles, but also looked ruddy and radiant.
”Some people say that power is the real fountain of youth. I didn't quite believe that.” Loren couldn't help joking with him: ”but your appearance now seems to prove that I made a mistake.”
”On the contrary, this period of time is the most tired period of my life. Even the apprenticeship era of studying day and night can not be compared. I feel ten years old overnight.”
No matter what expression he uses, corona is always so gentle and gentle, and his modest smile is more like a scholar than a consul: ”as for appearance... Being a consul is different from being a wizard. If he is still old in the past, it is a very dangerous signal.”
Loren expressed his understanding - corona in front of him is old after all. If he looks decadent again... How many people will be willing to be loyal to an elderly man who is dying and can kick his legs at any time?
If I were those nobles, I would think more about how to grab the position of heir when I saw that the consul didn't have a few days to live.
”However, although the consul is a hard job, it is still good.” corona smiled and took out a letter from his sleeve. The stamp on the cover made Lauren squint.
The iron crown held by the three headed Dragon... The coat of arms of the desallion family.
”This letter arrived today and was sent directly from the capital, golovun.” the old man tapped the envelope gently: ”our majesty Eckhart II has specially sent a mission to eboden for a meeting.”
Loren raised his eyebrows. He felt that corona had something to say.
”Although it's just a normal letter congratulating the new consul on taking office and discussing how to deal with it afterwards, it doesn't mention anything to his highness Brandon in less than 100 words - you know, it's strange that his Highness has almost contributed to the current situation of eboden and specifically avoided it?”
”You mean...”
”It may be your Majesty's unintentional mistake, but it is more likely to have something to do with crown prince Connor. This is just speculation.” corona looked at Loren: ”if your highness Brandon is recalled to the imperial capital, as a wizard consultant, you must go with him, that is to say...”
”... is this our 'last lesson'?” Lauren said half jokingly.
”It's not so exaggerated.” corona chuckled: ”in addition, I got a more secret information. There is a very special person about the members of the mission
The leader of the night watchman, Ruth infinite, he's in there! ”
