"ah?"
Di was obviously taken aback—although he had similar thoughts, he obviously didn't think about this issue specifically: the orcs are coming, the undead are also eyeing, and the nobles of the kingdom are now eyeing him. Thinking about "marriage", besides Akasha...
"Hmph, I know you have a lot to worry about." Of course Sally understood what he was thinking, but she didn't have much resentment, she just whispered: "Then...you promise me one thing, okay?"
"Okay, I promise."
Roddy would never ask questions before answering, because that would be death.
"You bad guy, your brain is getting better and better now, isn't it?" Sally twisted his cheeks, and then whispered: "I want a grand wedding, okay?"
Little girls are always looking forward to romance, and although Rody doesn't know how big is "big", but thinking of the emotional experience of herself and Sally along the way, she feels that she has no reason to hesitate.
"No problem, let's hold it in Elson City at that time, I will definitely make this wedding attract the attention of the world."
Roddy thought of a lot in an instant, including fragments of past adventures and visions of the future—he was never a big talker, but in the face of Sally's request, Rody made such a promise seriously.
With Elson City here, Rody believed that he would be able to achieve this goal.
*****
At the same time, Elson City, which stands alone in the westernmost part of the kingdom, has become a sacred place in the hearts of countless civilians after a winter.
This city, designed and built by the most powerful Arcanist of the High Elves, still maintains its appearance for hundreds of years—exquisite, elegant, and at the same time reveals an unspeakable sense of oppression, which makes the civilians who walk into the city They are daunting.
And the most incredible thing is...it doesn't have any snow inside.
The snowflakes that fell from the sky slowly slid away near the top of the city. Three months after the blizzard covered most of the kingdom, there was not a single snowflake that fell into the city. Not only that, but the temperature inside the entire city is always as warm as spring—even if the outside temperature is as cold as minus 30 degrees, the residents of the city can still move around with a single piece of clothing.
The function of the "Constant Temperature Barrier" has made the civilians living here fully appreciate the changes that "magic" has had on their lives.
Originally, Elson City was almost regarded as an empty city, and there were no "residents" at all except for some teams transporting supplies. But after one winter, the city quietly gained 3,000 more residents, and this number is still rising...
The reason is very simple: Under the pressure of severe cold, many families who have no hope of survival due to lack of supplies can only survive by migrating to this city.
Most of the western territories of the Kingdom are notoriously poor. Because the nobles' taxes are too high, many people will die every year even if there is no natural disaster. Once a disaster occurs, the number of deaths caused by starvation alone is staggering.
Before the arrival of this severe winter, the news about "Elson City can withstand the severe cold", "there are jobs in the city to make money", "the whole family can enjoy the treatment of urban citizens after two years after moving in" has long been published through "Par Propaganda of the Erring Firm" spread throughout the Western Territories.
At first, these words were regarded as a joke like the firewood sold in the business. But when the severe winter really came and everything was proven, more and more people chose to "leave their homes", and the whole family and even the whole village moved to that empty city.
If it is not desperate, no one is willing to give up their hometown and go to an unknown city. However, for these poor and poor civilians, it is really a luxury to survive.... If there is a sliver of hope to survive, who is willing to stay in a cold room waiting to die, or even exchange children for food
Some people died silently, but more people chose to fight and moved to the legendary "warm as spring" city with all their belongings
In the end, "Elson City" did not live up to their expectations: roads guarded by soldiers, food supplies sponsored by business firms, a warm city, temporarily allocated housing, resident contracts and reasonable remuneration—gambling with a mortal heart A handful of people were completely stunned by the "pies" that fell from the sky.
After registering and moving in, the identities of these civilians were transformed into citizens under the name of Roddy.
This kind of thing sounds simple, but it is very cumbersome and complicated to do. However, when Camilla, who had been busy for a whole winter, saw the current results, she finally relaxed her tense heartstrings—although the population of 3,000 is not much, but there are follow-up publicity, the population growth is only a matter of time... I believe By this time next year, the villages on the outskirts of the city will start construction.
"With such a result, I don't know if he will be satisfied..."
In the City Lord's Mansion in the center of Elson City, Camilla in a red robe looked out the window at the figure who was working and whispered unconsciously.
In the eyes of others, the harsh winter is a disaster, but for Elson, it has become an unspeakable opportunity: the funds earned by "Palling Firm" completely solved the financial crisis of running the city, and more than 3,000 civilians moved one after another. After entering the city, all facilities in the entire city are qualified to operate—Camila is also completely convinced by Roddy's strategic vision at this moment. At least for now, it seems that the hard work of this winter is almost equal to the accumulation of several years.
However, this method of absorbing the population also brought some disadvantages: Not all of these guys who entered the city one after another were civilians, and many of them... had various ulterior motives.
However, they naturally don't know what kind of city this is, so Camilla always finds time to pay attention to the movements of these guys in her spare time—after becoming the "guardian" of Elson City, her thoughts Ability, memory, and energy have all been significantly improved. The most obvious point is that it is completely effortless to manage the city vertically, so that she can observe the words and deeds of at least seven or eight people at the same time, and make judgments separately.
This ability to be distracted and multitasking is "efficiency" when used in "management", but it is "terrible" if it is used in "magic"—Camila has not stopped studying how to get rid of the confinement of Elson City way, but with the improvement of spell level, she felt more and more that she had entered a dead end...
Do you really want to stay here forever
Just as he was thinking about these things in his mind, there was a burst of brisk footsteps in his ears. Camilla's gloomy expression immediately dissipated, and the corners of her mouth curled up—when she turned her head, her daughter Nai Fei just came to the door, and she asked softly, "Is training over so early today?"
One winter passed, and Nai Fei became significantly taller—perhaps because of the good nutrition during this period of time. At the age of growing her body, she has changed from a "little loli" to a "beautiful girl", and her body is getting stronger and stronger. It's getting slender and slender, and her chin is getting sharper. Coupled with her sly smile, she's just a beautiful little fox.
"Well, I've finished reading the books I should read, so I'll hurry over to see my mother!"
Even though he said so, Naifei looked around without any trace. Camilla couldn't help but bluntly said, "Roddy hasn't come back yet, so don't look for it!"
"Who, who looked for him? I didn't look for him!"
