Chapter 163: Wangjiang District
Baron Nuolun was lost in thought when he heard this.
Robb was right. In fact, he also thought about it all the way. Kerte was bold enough to send troops to attack the Crystal Canyon.
The desert kingdom is not rich and has a small population. Why do they dare to provoke a big kingdom like Gran?
The reason is not simple, taking advantage of the war in East and West Gran, the desert kingdom rushed to do Mondra a favor and pull off another fight. They were sure to get a large sum of benefits from Mondra afterward or even cede territory.
Under this premise, it would be strange for Mondra not to take advantage of the opportunity to attack Bright Road.
Even if he ran to Bright Road, he could not escape the threat of war, and he might even be forced to go to war. After all, he is also a knight. He can hide in a small manor on the border and stay away from politics and the shackles of national hatred, but If he runs to Bright Road, he will not be able to escape.
Baron Nuolun considered the question very seriously, "is there any good solution Father can guide me with?"
Robb pointed to his feet and said with a smile, "settle down here in Westwind Town, and you won't be affected by the war!"
"But here… With all due respect…." Baron Nuolun said, "This place will soon be attacked by the army of the desert kingdom, and it will not last three days looking on the scale of this town! It won’t even last three hours."
Robb said with a smile, "I understand your considerations. I'll tell you what. You don’t have to buy a house yet. Just settle for rent first. When the desert kingdom army arrives, you will take your family and wait at the south gate to watch me defend the enemy at the north gate. If I block the desert kingdom army, you can stay. If I can't, leave and ride your horses and run south as soon as possible. There's still time to run away."
Baron Nuolun hesitated, but whether he listened to Robb or not, he had to stay in Westwind tonight, and he was tired of living in the wilderness.
"I'll send someone to call White Birch Mayor. He'll show you the Wangjiang district.” Robb said with a smile, "you can rent it for a few days, pay either daily or monthly, and give it a try."
After a while, Lillian went to call White Birch Mayor.
As soon as the mayor arrived, he smiled at Baron Nuolun, looked respectful, and flattered him.
However, the baron saw at a glance that the man did not respect and treat him as a baron, but as if he were a fat sheep, with the act of "I will kill you when I am done.” An authentic merchant demeanor.
What's going on in Westwind Town? The guards of the town spoke loudly to me. The priest was magical. Even a small mayor treated me as if I was fat sheep.
The mayor of White Birch rubbed his hands and said, "Baron, please come with me and have a look at the Wangjiang District Community."
Baron Nuolun said angrily, "what is the meaning of Wangjiang district?"
"The residential area is something similar to an urban area, which is neatly built with a bunch of houses." The mayor of White Birch said with a smile, "Wangjiang District is its name. In this place, we can see the West Wind Canal anytime. The scenery on the river is picturesque and beautiful.”
Baron Nuolun: "…..."
"In short, you'll see."
He led the baron to the community under construction.
Baron Nuolun saw the Wangjiang District from a distance and fell in love with it at a glance.
In this era when everyone's houses were randomly built, it was the first time that Baron Nuolun had seen such a neat and organized house plan, with a long row of wooden houses along the river, all in exactly the same shape. Their doors and windows are all in the same directions and spots as well.
In front of each wooden house was a small tree of about the same height and a long row of flower beds in front, and it was winter, so it didn’t look as good, but Baron Nuolun could imagine how beautiful the neighborhood would be when spring came.
Baron Nuolun could not help sighing, "Oh, this row of houses is a feast for the eyes. Living in houses like this is much more comfortable than living in the wilderness.”
He was already thinking in his mind that he would rent the row of houses for a few days and then continue to flee to Bright Road.
Mayor White Birch said with a smile, "this is the first phase of the project. They are all single rooms for the poor. People of your status have to see the project's second phase."
Baron Nuolun secretly rejoiced. Is there something better than this? “What’s the second phase of the project?”
"Follow me, please." Mayor White Birch led the way. Before long, a row of stone houses appeared in front of them. They were not made of ordinary, messy stones but made of uniform square stones, which made the walls look beautiful.
Mayor White Birch said with a smile, "this is the invention of Father. What's it called? Oh, yes, it's called bricks! He asked us to put the clay into a mold, turn it into this small square, and then burn it dry with fire magic to make this strange square brick, each of which is the same size and is very useful when building a house. Building a house with this kind of brick makes it strong and beautiful, and it is much more comfortable to live in than a house built out of normal stones."
Baron Nuolun nodded. "that's for sure. Uniform-sized stones are easier to build walls and more stable structures."
However, the house is not fully built yet, and some work is still going on.
At a glance, Baron Nuolun saw a worker carrying a rockery on his shoulder. The rockery weighed five or six hundred pounds, but the worker carried it effortlessly to the middle of the garden in front of the house and gently put it down. That startled the baron, "Is he that strong a man?"
The White Birch Mayor said with a smile, "he is an ordinary worker. Father added a Buff called Blessing of King to him, which made him powerful. When the Buff time passes, he will be like a worm.”
Baron Nuolun was secretly frightened. He had heard of the blessing of the king magic before, which is a spell used by Paladins, which can make the enchanted person very powerful, but he had not heard that it can strengthen an ordinary person like this. What kind of strength does it take for a Paladin to add such a powerful blessing of the king?
No, that's not the point! Using the blessing of the king on workers to build houses? Don't paladins want to save face?
