Human emotions are complex, and when stereotypes are broken, attitudes change very quickly, such as Sengel, who has just stayed in Rovanian for only about ten days.
It only took a few days for the first heir of Rohan to change his attitude towards Allen from being slightly dissatisfied with him to hating the fact that they met him late.
From growing up watching his father who lived a luxurious life to serving the Prime Minister of Gondor for more than ten years, Sengel has seen many human lords of all kinds. But this is the first time he has seen someone like Alan who lives a simple life.
Through this period of observation, Sengel learned that Wilderness Town has at least nearly 20,000 residents, and with so many residents, Allen only lives in an inconspicuous three-story house.
That’s all.
Not to mention that compared with the "King of Gondor" at the top of Minas Tirith, even his father's Meduseld is much more majestic than where Allen lives. This house is, at best,
It is similar to where the wealthier manor owners live in Gondor.
There is only one personal maid serving beside her, and most of the others are servants responsible for cleaning the house. Their clothes are not considered luxurious, and only the set of war equipment does look expensive, and is extremely rich.
The style is rare even in Gondor. As for the Kingdom of Rohan, even the king's treasury does not have such exquisite armor.
Sengel saw a total of fourteen sets of such armor here, but these armors are used to save lives on the battlefield. Even if the cost is high, Sengel does not think it is a waste. After all, there is nothing like it.
Life is more precious.
In comparison, the living standards of the lords of Gondor far exceed those of Allen. The castles in the territory can be said to be due to the rich heritage of the family, but whenever they come to Minas Tirith for a banquet, the people who follow them
The countless slaves they kept were enough to show that their frugality was far inferior to that of this new friend.
In fact, Sengel also has his own views on frugality. When a commoner eats ordinary meals every day, it is not frugal, because that is already the standard of living that he can strive for with all his strength, and a lord
Owning a castle and servants, and eating fine food three times a day is not considered luxury. As long as you do not exploit others for the sake of a luxurious life and affect the development of the territory or country, it is not considered a luxury.
But his father Fengel and the friend he just met seemed to be in an extreme state. By communicating with the residents living in Wilderness Town, Sengel learned that the living standards of the people here are quite good, and there is no comparison.
What a difference to the ordinary inhabitants of Minas Tirith.
Moreover, various gossips circulating in the taverns of Wilderness Town all indicate that the lords here are quite wealthy. Countless gold and silver seem to have been moved from the hall of Gushan to the treasure house of Wilderness Town. As the dwarf king Thorin
Second, the repayment to the northern humans after the great battle in Gushan.
In other words, as the lord of Wilderness Town and an extremely wealthy Allen, he actually had enough strength to live a better life, but he did not. Instead, he used various policies to bring more people into the world.
Wealth flows to the people under the rule, making the lives of ordinary residents better and better.
This is in sharp contrast to Sengel's father, who was alienated from the marshals of Rohan because of his dominance of various interests.
The longer he lived here and the more he got to know his new friend, the more favorably Sengel felt towards Allen. Two days before leaving, the two of them had almost become good friends who cherished each other.
Allen actually has a good impression of Sengel. According to Allen's idea, when he builds the castle in Dol Guldur in the future, in a sense, he and Rohan are already natural.
neighbors and allies.
Moreover, most of the people under Allen's rule are northern humans from the Rovanian Kingdom. If we trace their origins, we can honestly say that they were a family member of Rohan five hundred years ago.
I'm not sure how the family tree can be related to this or that.
Putting aside these geographical and historical factors, Sengel is worth getting to know. He is the first heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Rohan. The value of this status does not need to be discussed. His behavior and conversation can be considered polite.
He is also very sincere in his dealings with others.
From the beginning, Allen felt the indifferent feeling of alienation from Sengel. This performance showed that this person is not hypocritical. If you don't like it, you just don't like it. I will tell you directly, no need
You come to figure it out.
This type of people is actually relatively easier to deal with.
There is actually a negative image beside Allen, and that is Stephen, the former mayor of Changhu Town. In terms of character, Allen knows that he is a bastard, but he behaves very harmlessly, and his talk is considered a good thing.
Rather powerful.
This led to Allen not being able to come up with any good reasons for targeting him. He couldn't put an "unfounded" charge on him. He didn't want to change his surname yet, and the eldest child in his family was not Xiaojiu.
Moreover, as the two people gradually got to know each other and solved their knot, Sengel immediately changed his attitude and gave Allen a certain explanation for his previous rudeness.
In fact, in the Tower of Ecthelion, in front of Turgon and all the members of the Council of Gondor, Gandalf praised Alan as being unparalleled in the world. Sengel, who was standing aside and listening, naturally had many thoughts in his mind.
This resulted in a huge gap between what he saw and what he expected after coming to Wilderness Town.
After all, Wilderness Town is a town that was established only a few years ago. Although it has developed rapidly, it certainly cannot be compared with Minas Tirith, which is thousands of years old, or Edoras, which has a history of hundreds of years.
It is normal for Sengel to have some doubts about Gandalf's words.
Of course, traveling thousands of kilometers through mountains and rivers did kill Sengel's few good moods. This was because he grew up in Kalenason and was extremely familiar with the surrounding environment. The marshals of Rohan who came along the way,
He also took good care of the small team led by his own prince, which allowed Sengel to spend more than two months traveling non-stop from Minas Tirith to Wilderness Town.
He was able to get here safely thanks to the great battle that took place in Gushan a year ago and the clearing of Dol Guldur by the elders of the Bai Dao Society. Otherwise, it would be easy for his team of more than a dozen people to
He would be chased by the orcs who were extremely arrogant in the past and would be in a panic.
It is foreseeable that if he wants to return to Minas Tirith, Sengel will have to go through this process again. He also has his own concerns. In fact, Sengel is not particularly willing to return to the country of Rohan.
Traveling, he was worried that his father, who was already somewhat insane, would do something forced on him.
After all, his old father was already over seventy years old at this time, and the relationship between the two had already deteriorated to a certain extent. Even if it was his own wedding, Sengel was unwilling to invite Fengel to attend, in case he was on the way back and forth.
Being forced to take him back to Edoras will directly affect Sengel's wedding next year, and he will have no place to cry by then.
Turgon, who was nearly ninety years old at this time, naturally could not understand his shrewd and capable subordinate in such detail. He just believed that the relationship between Sengel and his father was rigid, but in the end
They are father and son, how could their relationship be any worse? That’s why the task of contact and observation was entrusted to Sengel.
You cannot refuse the tasks assigned by your master, but this cannot stop Sengel from being in a very bad mood, so it is natural that he had a bad attitude towards Allen at the beginning, and he has some knowledge of Sengel's life.
Allen thought about all this in a short period of time. He didn't care about these things, and tried to make Sengel change his attitude towards him through some means.
The effect was beyond his imagination.
In Allen's view, establishing a good relationship with neighbors of the same camp is what a qualified king must do, and dealing with Sengel is much easier than dealing with Fengel, that guy who is extremely greedy for money.
, in fact, a messenger was sent over two months ago, but the conditions proposed were simply unacceptable to Allen.
The old king mentioned in the letter that if he wanted Rohan to support Rovanian, Allen would at least have to pay a fortune that could fill an entire hall.
Although I don’t know where this guy learned that there are a lot of gold and silver treasures in Wilderness Town, but Allen will never be used to this kind of robbery.
After well entertaining the Rohan hussar who delivered the letter, Allen asked Jamila to write a tactful letter of rejection and let him take it back. The matter was settled, and Allen was not worried at all.
How long can Fengel live after offending the current King of Rohan? Having a good relationship with his son Sengel is the right way to go.
Then within two months, Sengel came with a letter from the Prime Minister of Gondor. I can only say that this was fate.
Since he was anxious to return to Gondor, Sengel, who had been observing the Wilderness Town for a while, also felt that the task was almost completed, so he chose a morning when the temperature was not so cold to say goodbye to Allen and prepare to return to the south.
Allen, who knew why Sengel was anxious to go back, did not retain his new friend. However, what surprised him was that when Sengel was about to leave, he formally sent an invitation to Allen, hoping that he could stay there.
Next year's harvest day, which is September 21st in the Third Age 2943, will go to Gondor to attend his wedding to Morwen.
Faced with his friend's warm invitation, Allen readily agreed, but at the same time he also said that Rovanian was in troubled times. If he really couldn't escape by then, he would arrange for an envoy to go and celebrate Senger's death on his behalf.
wedding.
Sengel certainly knows how busy his daily work is as an excellent leader managing a land, not to mention that there is an enemy Pan Heng at his doorstep. Allen can give such a promise, which is enough for him.
, and then, with Alan watching him off, the team from Gondor embarked on their way home.
With Sengel's departure, Allen's life once again entered a busy state. Busy here does not mean that there are too many documents to sign, or trivial tasks that require him, the king, to handle them personally. After such a long period of time,
With the development of time and the spread of education, the officials under the cabinet have become very perfect and have an effective way of doing things. It is no longer like before when the workers need to pay attention to everything they eat and eat.
Most of Allen's time was actually wasted on the road. The reconstruction of River Valley City and Long Lake Town, the reconstruction of Steele Mining Town and the fortification of Heidelberg were going on at the same time. Yin Ouweiya's basic situation he
Also need to understand.
So during the past half year, he actually did not stay in Wilderness Town for a long time, but traveled around various territories. Currently, the construction of River Valley City has almost come to an end, and the old tower and bell tower has almost been restored.
, and someone has begun to take care of the fields in the valley, restoring their former fertility and prosperity. It is estimated that by next summer, the reconstruction work of River Valley City will be almost complete.
After half a year of reconstruction, Changhu Town has built a basic city wall at the location designated by Allen. At this time, the enemy is facing a powerful enemy, and nothing is safer than building a city wall, but it covers a very small area.
It is large, and the construction speed of the brick city wall is not much faster at all. According to Bard's estimation, it will probably take until the end of next year to complete the construction. However, the port is almost completed at this time and can be put into use.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, after such a long period of construction, Heidelberg has already developed certain defensive capabilities. The sentry tower on the city wall is enough to overlook the large area on the other side of the river. It can be used as a standard
The fortifications were built to resist the enemy's attack, but the area was still a bit small. The villagers of Caroline built a village near the castle, and on the original basis, they reclaimed a lot of land and settled there.
In Allen's view, Heidelberg is very consistent with the standard castle defense system of the Middle Ages. When faced with a crisis, the villagers would hide in the castle with their families and property, wait until the enemy left, and then come out and start their lives again.
, this situation happened countless times in Western Europe in the Middle Ages, and the lords living in that land relied on this method to resist the invasion of the Vikings.
It's just that the castle built by Allen is not simply to protect the property and lives of the people in the war. It must also be guarded here like a nail to guard the entrance to Allen's base camp.
The connecting point between the east and west regions.
So Allen has arranged another task for Tire, which is to build another castle on the opposite side of the rushing river, and then connect the two castles with a bridge, imitating the Luanhe City in the riverlands of the Vestatro continent. , Allen thought that castle was very interesting very early on, and now he also has the idea to build one himself.
This will not only facilitate the passage of merchants or troops in the future, but will also facilitate Ailu's forces to enter the eastern region of Rovanian. Of course, these things must wait until the Dongyi people are defeated.
After all, these guys wouldn't just watch Allen build a castle on the other side of the river.
