"It's really scary that the city has already been built." On the way to the North City, Marquis Pegasus murmured to himself.
The establishment of a city means that the population exceeds 10,000. Even in the empire, it is the beginning of a powerful count, and judging from what I have seen and heard in Mara Town, it is not the kind where serfs and farmers are used to make up the number.
The Ninth Princess was also concerned about Hydra, whom she had heard about frequently since she came to the North. Especially when she heard that Hydra III was still a young man, she became even more thoughtful.
As a princess, marriage is Thea's only destiny in this life. Even if she becomes a legend, it will only change from a marriage tool to a royal weapon. The essence has not changed. Therefore, Thea has been paying attention to the younger generation of the empire and plans to find someone to marry in advance.
Already.
The reason is simple. Since she can't resist, the only thing she can do is to choose a better partner to marry. The emperor doesn't care who his daughter marries, he only cares about whether his son-in-law is strong enough and can strengthen his rule over the empire.
It's stable, that's all.
Although a young lord from the North is not strong enough and has some lack of background, his position is very critical and he barely meets the requirements for marriage. After all, once he marries the princess, the royal family will have reasons and ways to intervene in the North.
Thea calmly evaluated Owen's value in her heart, and did not think that the other party would refuse.
First of all, the other party does not have a wife, and secondly, the other party will understand that only by marrying a princess can Hydra continue to exist. In addition, she is very confident in her appearance and figure, and even knows the thirty-six secret formulas of the royal family by heart, so
She couldn't think of a reason for the other party's refusal.
But her confidence dropped immediately after seeing Beicheng. Maybe the other party was stronger than she thought.
The completed expansion of the North City already has the coveted city wall. The five-meter-high and three-meter-thick city wall is made of stone strips weighing a hundred kilograms, which is considered indestructible. There is a gun emplacement every thirty meters on the city wall.
There are elite soldiers patrolling with weapons, and they are closely intertwined, leaving no blind spots, which can make any attacker feel desperate.
The three of them knew how much it would cost to build such a strong city, especially in the remote Northland where resources and manpower were lacking. The cost was more than ten times higher. It seemed that they had underestimated Hydera.
Naturally, the arrival of the special envoy could not be hidden from Irving, and he even knew that his own information was given to the other party by his little finger as a stepping stone, but this did not mean that he needed to welcome it in person, because the airs must be held up, and he must be held in check, and he must be held accountable.
When someone looks at you, he looks so dignified that he doesn't dare to act rashly.
The speed involved is difficult to grasp, so Maya was the first to come forward to greet him.
As soon as the dazzling red hair came into view, the three Marquises of Pergasus understood each other's identities, because the information sent by Little Thumb was quite detailed.
However, compared to the fact that he dared to show up in Mara Town, the little finger disappeared before he reached Beidi, because he knew very well that there was a powerful and deadly existence hidden in the dark side of Beicheng, and several attempts yielded no results.
This made him more vigilant and afraid to expose himself.
"It's been a long time, Ms. Maya." The first person to speak was Count Dekra, who was always arrogant along the way, because he really knew Maya. He had met several times when he visited Count Carlo and his daughter, and he was very interested in this legendary figure.
The head maid was very impressed.
After all, there are many maids and many head maids, but at the peak of his career, there was only one head maid who could influence an earldom and a marquis. Even the arrogant Count Dekra would look at him with a high regard and not mind showing his kindness.
Moreover, at this time, Maya no longer dressed as a maid, but was dressed in decent aristocratic clothing. With the wisdom accumulated over time and wisdom, she looked like an elegant and noble female aristocrat. Count Dekra immediately recognized her identity.
change, so I didn’t call the other party the head maid, even though the other party was a maid.
Although no maid had ever become a nobleman, and it was extremely rare for a maid to be promoted to a noblewoman, Count Dekra immediately accepted this fact because the existence of Beicheng was enough to make him change his attitude.
"It's been a long time indeed. The last time I met Count Dekra was at that unforgettable banquet." Sensing the kindness shown by the other party, Maya responded with a slightly meaningful smile.
"Welcome the special envoy of Marquis Pegasus, welcome Count Dekra, and the distinguished Ninth Princess. Please get in the car. The lords are already waiting for the three of them at the castle." Maya smiled elegantly and gave a slight salute before inviting the three of them.
Get on the carriage.
"About Hydra III, we have been hearing about it since we came to the North. I really want to meet him right away." Marquis Pegasus ignored his title and age gap and acted very sincerely, even though he knew it was pretentious.
Attitude, Maya still had a smile on her face and asked the coachman to set off.
Of course, probably no one except herself knows what Maya is thinking at this time, but she will not take what the other person says seriously.
The carriage uses metal bearings and shock-absorbing technology. It is as smooth as sliding on the clean and tidy stone streets, and people do not feel any bumps. This is just a glimpse of what the three Marquis of Bergassus observed after entering the North City.
Because of the bonuses in various aspects of the system building, the development of the territory is cheating. With Owen's constant supplements, the wealth of the territory is far beyond ordinary people's imagination. This is evident from the fact that all roads in the city are all stone roads, let alone
There are sidewalks on both sides of the road and street lights at regular intervals. These are all manifestations of strength.
For this reason, tens of thousands of people in the entire territory, as well as construction machinery and everyone from the magic school, all joined in to create the miracle in front of them.
In addition to these hardware, a clean and tidy environment, neat and uniform houses, elegant courtyards, and shops with rich products are all important basis for evaluating a territory.
However, the foundation of a territory is still people, because only people can't do anything fake, so the three of them quickly focused their attention on the pedestrians on both sides of the road.
In the eyes of the three people, the residents of Beicheng are a bit too clean. You must know that even many nobles do not have such good hygiene habits.
Moreover, although the clothes worn by most people are not good, they are quite neat, and there are almost no rags. You must know that these are civilians.
In addition, people with status will not be too obsessed with gorgeous clothes, treat others generously and politely, and look quite well-educated.
At the same time, the three of them also noticed that the residents here had rosy and healthy faces and bulging muscles. They obviously not only lived a prosperous life, but also had the habit of being armed.
Although there was no exchange of words or glances at each other, the three of them all understood that this was their biggest gain from coming to the North, and now it was up to them to see who was more skillful.
As for the mysterious origin of Hydra, it has never been a problem.
The huge empire never lacks people with mysterious origins, so you don't need to look at the other person's origin, but what the other person does.
Developing territory, seeking titles, and accepting canonization are enough for the empire, the emperor, and the nobility, because it means that the other party is willing to accept the rules of the game and is willing to play together.
As long as the new player is qualified, the old player actually doesn't mind one more person, not to mention that the other player represents a brand new piece of cake.
