Every day, officers from the Air Mage Brigade came to Aslan to report on their work, and then a few of them would sit together holding teacups, watching the lightning in the sky and shivering.
"Lord! You have to think of a way. If Duke Medea continues to play like this, all the brothers will be ruined."
Aslan simply rolled his eyes.
Now everyone in Merlo City knows that Duke Medea is far more powerful than the Grand Magister of the same level. Especially in the battle on the Beifeng Prairie, he single-handedly suppressed the three Grand Magisters of the Ottoman Kingdom.
beat.
In the eyes of many people, the only person who is qualified to fight Duke Medea is the Nomeli Maid of Dragonite blood.
"I will find a way to solve it. Your men are all training. You all stay here with me, okay?" Aslan said with a look of disgust.
Medoriya covered her face with a document and did not answer, while the others looked at the books in their hands seriously.
Obviously, if conditions permit, they would rather hide in Aslan and be lazy than perform flying stunts, which is simply asking for abuse.
It took Duke Durandal more than two months to arrive in Merlocks Province, a city that had become famous in just a few years.
He had been hiding in the family caravan along the way, and he had seen things more clearly along the way.
In the Kingdom of Cleveland, one could see starved corpses and emaciated people along the way, but when he took the first step into the province of Merlocks, he felt as if he had entered another world.
There are United Army soldiers patrolling the border. On the one hand, they are to intercept the large-scale influx of refugees, and on the other hand, they are monitoring locusts in the surrounding areas.
The refugees were all sent to the refugee camps. It was said that they were required to be quarantined in the refugee camps for fifteen days before they could enter the Merlox Province.
The Naris area, which was supposed to be short of water, was not as desolate as expected, but instead was full of greenery everywhere.
It is a huge stone road that can accommodate eight carriages at the same time. Green plants are planted on both sides of the road, giving the road a unique charm.
The things Duke Durandal saw most were roads and canals, criss-crossing them.
After resting for a day in the main city of Naris, Duke Durandal could see that the people in Merlocks Province lived a prosperous life. At least everyone could have enough to eat, and there were also fresh fruits for sale in the market.
From the Narris region to the Billy region, there were green fields along the way. It was obvious that the drought had not had a huge impact on the Merox province, and the amount of farmland he saw along the way far exceeded his expectations.
.
It wasn't until he entered the tunnel outside Merlo City that he understood why Merlo City had not built a city wall. The only passage into the mountain was a tunnel several kilometers long. Both sides of Copeland Mountain were already surrounded by towering city walls.
The city wall is the highest, even higher than that of Kyoto.
If you want to enter Merlo City, in addition to attacking these two passes, you can only enter through the tunnel.
As long as an elite force is deployed outside the tunnel, the invading enemy troops can be easily blocked.
It's true that one man can't stop ten thousand men from opening up.
He had long heard that the tunnel was filled with magic lights, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he was still shocked.
Nowadays, magicians in Kyoto are producing magic lamps and have successfully brought down the price of magic lamps. However, magic lamps are still considered a luxury item in the Kingdom of Cleveland.
The Tianping Chamber of Commerce also fought several price wars with the chamber of commerce that operates magic lanterns in Kyoto. In the end, the Kyoto United Chamber of Commerce was completely defeated and chose to hand over one-twentieth of the profits from the magic lanterns to the Tianping Chamber of Commerce, requesting the Tianping Chamber of Commerce to maintain the current price.
Magic lamps that have completed industrial production can now be produced without a magician. As long as the final assembly requires a magic apprentice to do it themselves, industrial assembly line production reduces the cost of magic lamps to the lowest, even at half the current price.
By selling it, Aslan can still make a lot of money. Unfortunately, the magic element energy of the magic lamp cannot be popularized on a large scale. Even if it is as cheap as the earth and the common people can afford it, it is useless, because the real high consumption of the magic lamp is
That expensive magic crystal.
Duke Durandal's carriage stopped at a place called Merlo No. 1 Primary School. He had heard that primary education was now being popularized throughout the Merlox Province. As long as it was established for the Merlox Province,
The children of the families of soldiers who have made meritorious service to the province and have served the province can go to primary school for free.
It doesn't matter if you don't have free conditions. As long as you can afford the price of 50 silver coins per year, you can study. If you have excellent academic performance, you can also get a tuition fee exemption.
It is said that this sum was paid for by Lord Aslan of Merlot himself.
Almost every major city has one or two primary schools, and the scale and number of primary schools continue to be built.
Duke Durandal has already understood that the so-called primary education is actually what the nobility calls primary education. In the past, those who were able to complete primary education were at least knight-born professionals. The culture that many small nobles can master is also
It's just primary education.
The so-called primary education is literacy and simple arithmetic.
Duke Durandal and his guards wanted to enter the school, but they were stopped by several heavily armed soldiers as soon as they reached the gate.
"Who are you? What do you want to do?" A veteran who had lost an arm blocked the door and stared at Duke Durandal with sharp eyes.
The guards around Duke Durandal immediately wanted to draw their swords, but were jumped by several soldiers who rushed over. Seeing this, the other guards drew their weapons and tried to rush over, but were stopped by Duke Durandal.
"Misunderstanding! This is all a misunderstanding. I am a businessman from other provinces. I saw that the environment in Melo City is so excellent, especially knowing that there is a college here. I want to visit it. If the conditions of the college are good, I will send my children here.
Reading." Duke Durandal explained with a smile.
He has seen that these fully armed soldiers have more or less flaws, but the tough aura on each of them is obviously a veteran who has just retired from the battlefield. Such veterans can even be placed in the army.
It is also a force of great fighting power. I don’t know why it came here.
Moreover, when they had a conflict, a patrol that had just passed by rushed over quickly. Once a fight broke out, the consequences would be disastrous.
However, when Duke Durandal saw that the patrol team that rushed over was actually composed of women, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression on his face.
"They're all a bunch of girls!" the first guard muttered subconsciously.
The veteran blocking the door suddenly looked like an idiot and distanced himself from them.
