Time passed by in a flash, and it was already August 5th. It was getting closer and closer to the time for Allen to establish the principality. The entire territory began to get busy, especially Twilight City, because Allen was preparing to set the capital in Twilight City.
Therefore, Twilight City has been under expansion during this period. Hundreds of craftsmen and thousands of workers coordinated and cooperated. The narrow bluestone roads were widened, some obstructive city walls were removed, and large areas of residential buildings were demolished.
Lun's palace vacated space and worked day and night to complete the expansion plan before the founding of the country.
In Twilight Castle, which is not under demolition plan, Allen is sitting on a dark golden nanmu chair, with Butler Kaili standing below him.
"Master Allen! Some nobles from the surrounding countries have already mentioned their arrival and have made arrangements." Butler Kaili said with a smile.
"Oh!" Allen reached out and took the list handed over by Butler Carey, and found that most of the nobles who came were from the Principality of Side, and there were very few nobles from the Principality of Linton and the Principality of Bru.
This was also expected by Allen. Although there was no publicity, the hostile relationship between the two sides was basically established. In this case, how many nobles from the two countries would dare to come?
"Try to meet these people's demands as much as possible. If it's too much, just ignore it!" Allen said lightly.
"Yes!" Butler Kaili bowed slightly.
Inviting nobles from surrounding countries to watch the ceremony was just because of such a custom, but it was not necessary. Even if none of these nobles came, Allen's founding ceremony would still go ahead as usual.
After the housekeeper left, Allen continued to focus on a sheepskin map on the table. Drawn on this sheepskin was a map with many lines, which looked a bit complicated.
This map depicts the territory directly assigned by Allen to the Principality. Its area occupies approximately three-quarters of the original Principality of Kane, including the original Earl of Reagan, the Marquis of Lane, and more than half of the Kane Territory.
, the Count of Andrei and the Count of Alva.
In this way, the area of Allen's future direct territory will be more than twice the size of the original Kane Territory. For such a large area, if we still learn from the original method of managing Kane Territory by the Diff family, and directly manage one city after another, it may be a bit too much.
Troublesome.
So Allen planned to set up a middle class between the palace and the local cities, put the cities at the bottom, and set up county cities above. That is to say, the direct jurisdiction was divided into multiple counties, and the surrounding cities managed the towns on the ground.
It is a village, and the county city manages the surrounding cities, while the county city is under the jurisdiction of the capital city.
A total of seven counties were established this time, divided into three large counties and four small counties.
The three major counties are Huomai County, which is the original Earldom of Reagan and the Huomai Land at this time.
North En County and Nan En County were originally the Marquis of Lane. At this time, Allen divided them into two counties and managed them separately.
The four small counties are Beifang County, Xi'en County, Dong'en County and Linhuo County.
Northern County and Linhuo County came from the Counties of Alva and Andre that were divided.
East County and West County came from the divided Cairn Territory.
According to Allen's understanding, the area of the Duke of Kane is about the same size as the provinces of the Kingdom of Austro-Hungary, which is equivalent to the provinces in the previous life. The counties that Allen will establish are similar to the cities in the previous life, and the local cities and counties are similar.
In other words, Allen's principality in the future will be very similar to the layout of one province and seven cities in the previous life.
In this way, the future administrative divisions of the principality will be clarified: capital city, county town, local city, town, and village.
Some of the nine departments run through the fourth level, and some run through the fifth level. For example, the Health Department and the Security Department go down to the village and up to the capital, while the Criminal Law Department only exists in towns and cities above.
Although the principality has not yet been established, the county and city have been decided, and the nine offices have begun to mobilize personnel. It is hoped that by the beginning of the founding of Allen, the nine offices in various places have been set up.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps came, it was Bud.
"Sir!" Bud bowed and saluted. Although his hair was disheveled, his face was full of joy.
"What's going on?" Allen was interrupted and looked at Bud with a frown, scolding slightly.
"Sir! My subordinate's strength seems to have reached the limit of high-level knights!" Bard grinned, rubbed his big hands, and said loudly with a smile, the pride in his tone was obvious.
When Allen heard this, his expression suddenly froze, and he couldn't believe what he heard.
"Has your strength...reached the high-level limit?" Allen's words were full of temptation.
"Yes! Lord Earl!" Bard nodded fiercely.
"Okay...good! Very good! Bud, you are indeed a genius! Haha!" After hesitating for a moment, Allen laughed loudly, not forgetting to praise Bud aloud.
At the same time, he was extremely horrified. Bud’s cultivation speed was obviously faster than anyone under Allen now. Even his father Antonio couldn’t compare with him. Allen remembered that Antonio seemed to have just reached the high-level limit not long ago, and now
His head was overtaken by his son.
Looking at Bard below, Allen had a problem. As his squire knight, Bard's training items have always been provided by Allen, and this time is no exception.
Compared with knight-level blood potions, when it rises to extraordinary-level blood potions, the difficulty of refining increases exponentially.
Taking materials as an example, the materials required for a transcendent-level bloodline potion are very rare, including the requirements for the blood and core of a transcendent magical beast.
Every time you refine an extraordinary potion, you have to spend the whole body blood and core of an extraordinary monster. However, let alone how rare an extraordinary monster is, basically every extraordinary monster is extremely powerful. Elements of the same level
Knights are difficult to defeat and extremely difficult to hunt.
For example, when he dealt with the Black Scaled Horned Serpent, although he always felt that he was severely wounded by the Black Scaled Horned Serpent because he underestimated the enemy, there was no doubt that the Black Scaled Horned Serpent was indeed very powerful in Allen's mind.
.
As for high-level knights of the water element like Bard, the blood potion needed to break through the elemental knight must be made from the blood and core of a water-attributed extraordinary monster.
Speaking of water elemental magic cores, Allen does have a few, some of which come from the Blue Gold Dragon Cave, which is Bahamut's fucking collection, and one comes from the Black Scaled Horned Serpent.
But he didn't have the complete blood of extraordinary monsters. Allen had only seen two water-type extraordinary monsters. One was a giant turtle he met while sailing on the sea. Since it was in the sea, Allen didn't dare to touch that thing.
Touch, let alone hunt.
The other one was the black-scaled horned snake. Unfortunately, the black-scaled horned snake was blown to pieces by Allen with the purple thunder beads. It was impossible to even think about the intact blood...
I wonder if mermaids are...warcraft?
Allen shook his head violently, giving up his thoughts.
