"It can be called a legendary development history." Peters couldn't help but say that when he saw Hydera developing into a powerful Northland lord in just a few years, he felt a faint feeling of envy in his heart.
But as a normal-thinking person, Peters will not believe in any legendary family history. It is simply an insult to his IQ, so there is definitely a huge force behind Hydera.
Simply calculating how much resources it would take to grow to this size within a few years can narrow down the list of who is behind Hydra, which is exactly what Peters is doing now.
After a while, Peters counted up the resources that needed to be consumed and couldn't help but take a breath. It wasn't that he had never seen the world, it was mainly because his teeth hurt a little.
What kind of boring person would choose to invest such a large amount of resources in the Northland? It's not that Peters' family can't afford it, but it's that they can't part with a hundred years of accumulation.
Yes, a whole hundred years of accumulation.
The territory of the Peters family is located in the imperial capital circle. Due to its geographical advantages, it does not rely purely on farming, but actively participates in various commercial activities. Therefore, its income is among the highest among the earls. After excluding the annual expenses, the remaining
The money invested needs to be accumulated for hundreds of years to complete the feat of building the city in the North, and it is just for the simple construction of the city. Continuous investment in other aspects is still needed to speed up development.
No earl family dares to gamble with a century of accumulation. They really think that the nobles just save and don't spend. In fact, there are many places to spend money, and there are really few who can leave a century of accumulation as a legacy.
Therefore, unless this part of the investment will not strain the family's muscles and bones, it means that a larger body is needed to be qualified to take action.
Peters estimated that even the powerful marquis was a little reluctant, and at least he had to be at the level of a duke or a prince to complete the task across such a large area.
Write down the actual dukes and princes of the empire on a piece of paper, then take out a map and compare them repeatedly to see who is closest to the North and who is most likely to spend such a large amount of money.
Everyone knows that the future development of the Northland is related to the changes in the power of the empire. The only problem is that the initial investment is too large and it is easy to be targeted. Therefore, those who are strong cannot end under the constraints of all parties, while those who are weak are afraid that they will be eaten if they end first.
, only those who are willing to take a gamble allow the branch of the family to enter the Northland. It can be said that the current Northland is in a strange state of balance.
But the scale of Hydera is no longer a gamble. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a single company.
Not to mention that Peters stayed up all night thinking about things that didn't exist. Owen woke up at dawn and was still washing up when he heard a faint sound coming from behind the manor.
Sharon had thought about her life after graduation many times. Even if she was forced to sacrifice her body to someone she was loyal to, she was still considering it. She was confident that she would be successful with her abilities and appearance, but she didn't expect that she would fall behind when she first joined the job.
Such an end was just like when she first entered the Zhan Zhan Academy and was beaten by the teacher to learn combat skills. She was sweating profusely, covered in dust, and her beautiful long hair turned into a mess. The whole person was in a terrible state.
Even so, Sharon did not dare to relax at all. The familiar practice sword was like a cold light under the strong swing of her arm, which was enough to cut off the wooden stakes in the air. With her powerful sword skills, it was enough to defeat the war even without using fighting spirit.
Most of the students in the academy, faced with the female warrior wearing a tight-fitting leather jacket and carrying two swords on her back with a pair of strange beast eyes, could barely survive without being defeated.
Moreover, she could feel that the other party was not serious. Not only did he use a practice sword, but he also did not use other methods or potions. This made Sharon, who had no opponent in the academy for a long time, couldn't help but feel a strong sense of frustration.
But the Witch Hunter, her opponent, didn't care what the opponent was thinking. He used the powerful sword skills derived from the Witcher to press forward step by step, squeezing out all the potential that Sharon herself had not discovered.
Sharon was not the only one who suffered like this. In fact, eight witch hunters were training these newly graduated rookies one-on-one. They had no basic skills. Putting on leather armor and picking up unedged practice swords were all kinds of practical exercises.
These newly graduated female knights may have been outstanding students in the academy, but they were so fragile when faced with witch hunters and were defeated.
There is no way, not to mention that every witch hunter has been strengthened, and was given the template of a witcher by Owen. Especially after following him in various actual battles in the mountains, many beasts, demihumans and lizardmen died.
In their hands, with the various adventurers in the territory, and the secret training of the roots, their methods are beyond the reach of these rookies. Just simple swordsmanship makes them want to die, and Sharon can barely support it.
, but she was recognized by the witch hunter for her potential and given all kinds of extras, which made her unable to help but complain.
We are all women, and with the distorted thinking of the witch hunters, they have no idea what it means to show mercy to women, and they have no intention of showing mercy. Anyway, as long as they don't die and drink a few bottles of magic potion, even if all the bones in the body are broken, they can only lie down for a day at most.
Most of the day is a waste of time, not to mention minor injuries. If the bones are not broken, it is not an injury.
Seeing the miserable state of these rookies, Owen had no intention of interfering. Anyway, as long as they didn't die, it would be fine, but he had to give them some sweeteners to give them more motivation.
This is not difficult for Owen. He re-equipped the magic sheep, mithril steel equipment, and the luxurious suit that made Sharon's eyes shine. As soon as the appearance of the luxurious suit, all the female knights became full of motivation, and then the witch hunt continued.
Tortured to death.
In fact, it is quite interesting to watch beautiful women rolling on the ground, but when Peters, who is even more interesting, comes, Irving can only regretfully decide to watch more next time.
"Dear Earl, Peters, the son of Count Piersa, has come to pay a visit." Peters looks much more pleasing to the eye today. Although he has applied rouge and hair oil, he is much better than yesterday when he was so greasy that it could be directly ignited.
Obviously, the brief contact yesterday made him understand Irving's preferences, so he made changes. This was to lower his position and also to cater to him.
Based on Peters's attitude, Irving wouldn't believe it if he didn't have any intentions towards him.
But that's good, at least Owen doesn't need to deliberately keep a distance from him to prevent it from getting oily and difficult to clean.
"Call me Irving." Facing Peters who lowered his posture, Irving did not mean to step on him, but smiled and said.
Although he knew that the other party was not sincere at all and had ulterior motives, it did not prevent Owen from using the other party's connections and connections to quickly become familiar with the local situation and collect intelligence along the way.
In fact, no one is a good person, and good people cannot be nobles, because they are either being played to death by others, or they are playing to death themselves, it makes no difference, so Irving laughed very happily, and so did Peters.
