Gejil felt like he had seen a lunatic.

If planning to build a city on a swamp is already a dream, then transforming all the wetlands into plains is something that only madmen would do.

The wetland area is about 1,000 square kilometers. Even a powerful spellcaster can transform such a large range of swamps into plains. If only a few spellcasters do this, the time spent will take at least a hundred years. If a large number of spellcasters are hired to help, the spent gold coins must be calculated in tens of thousands.

Unless the whole country is gathered, I want to completely transform the wetlands into plains unless there is a miracle.

And a young nobleman actually said that he wanted to turn the swamp into a plain, which was too exaggerated.

Gejier finally calmed down his mentality and asked, "Since you are going to build a city, you must need a lot of stone. I wonder if you are interested in cooperating with me. I can supply a large amount of high-quality stone for you at a price of 10% less than the market."

This is Gejier's real intention to invite Beta over. It turns out that after Gejier thought that a noble like Beta would have no problem even in an environment like wetlands, even if it was a magical environment, it would be possible to solidify a small piece of land and build a castle.

Since you want to build a castle, you need a lot of stone. Havey City doesn’t have much, it just has a lot of stone.

Although the Gangti family is a very rich noble in Haveyah City, Gejil is not disgusted with making more money. No one would ever think it would be too much.

But he did not expect that Beta actually intended to build a city on the swamp.

Regardless of whether the other party's idea is feasible or not, whether it is crazy or not, Gejil saw a big order business from it. Even if the city cannot be built, as long as the construction starts, it will definitely require a lot of stone, which represents gold coins.

When Beta heard this, he was quite interested. Although it was only 10% off the market price, the number was too high, and it would save a lot of gold coins. Moreover, there were only half of the gold bricks in Beta's space, so it was far from enough to build a city. Not only did he want to increase the source, but he also had to save money. Otherwise, if the city was not built, he would definitely become a pauper.

"After my caravan is established, I can talk about it in detail." Beta agreed, and then asked curiously: "I just discovered that the city lord doesn't seem to be able to get into this banquet."

"He has always been like this. There is nothing to say about this person." Gejil smiled.

Seeing that Gejil's expression was a little strange, Beta knew that he was unwilling to say more about this matter, so he did not ask. Then Gejil introduced several nobles to him. After Beta talked with them for a while, he took Shirley and Jessica back to the hotel.

In the carriage, Jessica patted her bulging belly, looking satisfied.

As a beggar once, Jessica was very interested in what she had eaten. In the past, she ate less because she was afraid that she would eat her master poorly, so she kept holding back her appetite. Now someone invites her to a banquet to eat, and she won't miss this opportunity to eat a big meal.

Shirley sat beside Beta and said strangely: "I had a long chat with those ladies just now, and then I found that they despise the city lord and would say bad things about him from time to time, but I couldn't ask the reason. They seemed to be tight-lipped about the city lord and didn't know what was going on."

"I found out too." Beta nodded: "The same is true for Gejil."

Shirley was a little worried: "It can be seen that the power division of this city seems a bit strange, and I don't know if it will affect our plan."

"We can ask someone for questions about the city lord." Beta smiled slightly: "For example, Amanda."

At noon the next day, Amanda routinely came to the hotel to report to Beta about the caravan recruitment progress.

She was wearing a white cotton coat. Although she could no longer see the curves of her body, she also had a delicate and cute smell.

After hearing the report, Beta asked her to sit down and said, "I went to the banquet last night, and then I found something very strange. As the most powerful city lord of Have, it seemed unpopular at the banquet. No one was willing to talk to him, and no lady asked him to dance. People all had a disdainful hostility towards him, and I felt very curious, do you know anything."

Amanda shook his head: "How could a small businessman like me know about the affairs of the nobles?"

Beta smiled at her mouth, looked at her quietly for a while before saying, "The intelligence fee for a gold coin."

The merchant is pursuing profit, and this sentence is absolutely correct. As soon as Beta finished speaking, the face of the Aman family changed slightly. She shook her head and said, "Your Excellency, I really don't know."

"Five gold coins." Beta increased intelligence fees.

Amanda's expression was already very exciting at this time, and there was a clear hesitation on her face. After a while, she said, "Your Excellency, I still don't know."

Beta said in admiration: "You are indeed a businessman with credit, keeping your mouth shut. But I believe there are many people in this city who know this news, and I don't know if they are the same as you. I will decide to go to the Mercenary Union later, maybe they will know something."

"Wait. You don't have to go." Amanda slapped the table hard, and then said helplessly: "Grandma Beta, you are really my nemesis. Knowing that I have no resistance to gold coins, it is so despicable to use such a method... Now you can give me five gold coins."

Five gold coins are a small amount of money for many little nobles, let alone a businessman like Amanda.

Beta took out five gold coins and put them on the table, and continued, "If there were other more valuable information in your words, I would add one or two more gold coins to you."

"Okay." Amanda's eyes flashed brightly.

Shirley, who was beside her, also came over, and she was quite interested in this matter.

Amanda took a deep breath and said, "The city lord you met last night was just the nominal city lord. In fact, there has been no city lord for more than 300 years in our Havey City."

"What does this mean?" Beta was a little confused when he heard it: "This is Holevin's land. If a city lord has no city lord, the royal family will be appointed again. How could there be no city lord? And it will be more than three hundred years."

"I knew you would ask this. Our family has been here for more than 400 years and just knew about this." Amanda smiled and said, "Please hear it, and you can ask any questions afterwards."

Beta made a gesture of asking for help.

Amanda immediately told the story.

It turned out that more than three hundred years ago, there was a city lord in Havea City, but for some reason, suddenly one day, all the men in the city lord's family died suddenly. Moreover, the way of death was terrible. When the unknown force was cut into two pieces, or got up on the spot, it seemed like they were under invisible attack.

Within one day, all the men in the city lord's family died, leaving only women and children. But those women and children were soon "swallowed" by other nobles. In less than five days, all the city lord's family was killed.

When Beta heard this, he frowned. This time more than three hundred years ago and the way of death of the man from the city lord family made him think of an extremely bad possibility.

Then the nobles of Havea City joined forces to make a good show in order to permanently control the city that was rich in stone. They found a poor man in the city who looked very similar to the heir of the city lord at that time, helped him to the position of the city lord, and then they controlled him behind the scenes. Because of this, Wangcheng had never known that the city lord of Havea City had changed people, so they did not send the city lord again.

In this way, several great noble families controlled the city of Havey for more than 300 years. This is already a semi-public secret in Havey, and only outsiders will not know it.

"It's really an interesting story." Beta took out seven gold coins from the space and placed them on the table: "This is what you deserve."

"What a generous noble Lord."

After Amanda praised Beta, she rushed away with the gold coins.

Then Beta leaned back against the back of the chair and sighed a long time.

Shirley asked with some concern, "Master, you seem to be unhappy."

"It's indeed a bit." Beta smiled bitterly: "If my guess is correct, it's very likely that the person who killed the men of the city lord's family would be me."

Shirley widened her eyes: "How is it possible? Master, you are good at acting and talking about swallowing etiquette, and you look relatively mature, but I can be sure that your body is definitely very young, and you cannot be an old man in his 300s."

"Really, I ordered the killing of all the adult men in the city lord's family." Beta thought for a while, but said frankly: "There will be such a tragic situation for them, which involves a strange thing that I cannot explain to you."

Shirley hugged Beta's neck from behind and said gently: "So what if you kill it? I believe you will not kill anyone for no reason, Master."

It was indeed not for no reason. Beta remembered that in the game, he had a serious conflict with the city lord of Haveyah City, and it had even reached the point of death. In the end, he led the Knights to break through Haveyah City... He personally ordered the execution of all the adult men in the city lord's family, and then exiled all female members.

He did not expect that things in the game would be so faithfully reflected to reality.

What he didn't expect was that in reality, the female family members of the city lord of Havey were killed by other nobles, and no one was left.

Beta was in a gloomy mood. He did not regret what happened in the game. He just didn't expect that reality would become so cruel because of the game, it was like fate.

Although he does not believe in fate, he is not at the mercy of fate.

Just when he was sad, the waiter outside the door came to report:

The city lord is visiting!
