“Father, do we really need to do this?”

In a vacant lot outside Ghuguang City, Horn Quinn asked, looking a little disapplet at the busy workers.

In front of the two men was a rectangular flat square, almost a kilometer longitudinal, only about half a horizontal - since the engineering team of the Grey Fort entered the morning, the new length measurement method has also spread among the nobles.

Unlike the squares of the royal capital, which are made of beautiful masonry, its surface is completely paved with cement, and it looks gray, neither brilliant nor distinctive.If you have to say a good thing, I am afraid it is only convenient to repair, and it takes less than a week from shoving the land to building and forming.

But even so, the workers involved in the construction are from the Quinn family's own training of the team, the degree of attention is obvious.

“Oh?”Holder Quinn, the current Lord of the Morning, looked at him with interest, “What do you mean?”

"Your Majesty Roland's instructions are too many," Horn pointed, "and the bridge and the road, or the great works of dozens of miles, you have gathered the long-term workers in the family to do these things, what to do in the territory?"There are still several places for the castle to be restored.

Of course, his dissatisfaction is not one of those two points.

The father's request for the king of the gray castle was too much attention.

You can even describe it as a loss.

For example, cement, which has a wide range of alchemy products in the future, if the monopoly is in the hands of the family, will inevitably bring huge profits.

However, just because of the words in His Majesty's letter, "Please expand your production as soon as possible", his father summoned the nobles into the palace and announced the recipe in public.By the power of the nobles' major chambers of commerce, several cement factories were indeed established in a short period of time, but the achievements of the Quinn family were undoubtedly cut.

When it was time to build the road, the situation turned around.

Those nobles pushed three by one, and the father simply came by himself.

From the recruitment of personnel to the completion of the construction with the Graysburg Engineering Department, it is borne by the Quinn family.This is not a small fee, although the annexation of the Moya royal family has greatly increased the strength of the family, but it can be spent as quickly as the water.Looking at the money in the vault decreasing day by day, Horn said that it was impossible not to worry.

The key is that the road construction is not equal to business investment, and the golden dragon that pays for business may exchange more wealth, but what can be earned on the road connecting the unfamiliar river to Cageshan?It’s not even in the territory controlled by the Quinn family!Even if it can promote business in disguise, the cheap is only the lords of the border.

From the current situation, what His Majesty Roland wants to build is more than one of these two, and the inexplicable and invisible level of ground in front of him is proof.Sooner or later, the family will encounter a dilemma that cannot be reached.In fact, he had already heard a lot of criticism from within the family.

The most upset in Horn's heart was his father's attitude towards the Greys.

Not only are each project personally questioned, but also often the officials of those engineering departments are called into the royal palace and actively inquire about their requirements.If the other party is a noble, the problem is that Horne inquires clearly, these foreign "officials" are all from civilian origin, and do not have any prominent family life.The father, with the honor of a king of a country, invited the common people to talk to himself at the table, which was difficult for him to accept.

And today, as soon as I heard that someone was coming to Glow City in the fort, my father took the brigade of horses to the city early to wait outside the city, which is unbelievable - as a ruler, it is enough respect to meet in the castle, where can the royal family do this?

Horn suspects that his adoptive father is atone for her.After all, all of this changed after Hoferde said goodbye to his daughter.

“What can I do?”Hofferd shrugged, “The others don’t want to contribute, I can’t let them come?”You have seen the power of the Grey Fort, do you think I can sit in this seat without the support of the Wimbledon family?"

"No, father... I am not for you to fight the Greys," Horne said, "but you give two words, let the men do it, and Roland Wimbledon can't pick anything wrong."And the money you need can also slowly talk to the local lords - the deal is a compromise, the more anxious the businessman is easier to lose, this is what you have taught me."

“Unfortunately, the battle of God’s will is not a market transaction.”

"Yes, but . . . ." said Horn, biting his lip, and finally mustered the courage, "but you are like this now, and some people think it is not the Lord of the morning, but the courtier of His Majesty Roland Wimbledon!"

He thought it would provoke his father to anger, but the latter only stared at him for a moment, then laughed lightly, “I ask you, why do there are four kingdoms on this continent, and not five or three?”

“Uh...” Horn’s sudden shift in the subject matter was a little caught off guard, “because... these four are the strongest families?”

“It is more accurate to say that it is in their respective territories.”“The power of the family weakens as the distance grows, and the so-called frontiers are the tipping point at which the forces on both sides reach equilibrium.”But now this threshold no longer exists, and if Roland Wimbledon so long as he wishes, he can fully pocket the territory of the four kingdoms, so what is wrong with me as his vassal?”

Horn subconsciously retorted, “Father!Even if the army of the gray castle can fight again, he can't control such a big territory!Are you exaggerating his abilities?

"You haven't recognized the change in the Grey Fort, kid."Hofer said, “Roland may not have been before, but distance is no longer an obstacle to his rule—and, of course, you have not learned enough about what he has done, and it is natural to imagine how far he has done.”

“How do you...know?”

Hofferd smiled, "Andrea has returned my letter."

This made Horn's heart sink.

When he was about to persuade his father, there was a sudden exclamation in the distance.

Then there was the dull buzz.

Horne followed the reputation, not a little stunned.There was a neat line of dark shadows on the edge of the sky, and they lined up in a straight line, flying along the skyline towards the city of Glow.

Is that a...migrant bird?

But a moment later, the idea was rejected, and the black dots quickly grew to a point far beyond any bird in the world, and they were still expanding.

Horn gradually widened his eyes, which looked like some kind of man-made thing!

The workers who were present to witness this scene could not help but put down their tools and shouted.

Many of the passing carousels also stopped and looked up at the sky.

“It’s amazing... he really did that.”Holder raised his mouth, "The man I'm going to pick up... is coming."

Hearing this sentence, Hornton was stunned, are these square big birds, is the gray castle man-made vehicle?

How is that possible?
