"We finally meet, Mr. Holmland." Xavier sat on the cold iron stool in front of him, crossed his fingers and supported his chin.
"Tsk, just as I expected, you will come to me first." Baron Holmland grinned sarcastically.
"To be honest, I'm sorry that I can only have a good talk with you under such circumstances..."
"Forget it, you hypocritical little guy. Put away your Sentinoa trick, it disgusts me." Baron Holmulande snorted coldly, but even so, it left a wound at the corner of his mouth.
It was torn apart and blood flowed down.
"Arthur, put Mr. Holmland down." Xavier smiled and did not blame Baron Holmland for his ridicule. He pointed to Arthur, and the young knight captain stepped forward and opened the baron's handcuffs.
.
"What is this, an equal dialogue?" Baron Holmland hissed in pain. He struggled to stand up and sat on the iron stool opposite Xavier.
In order to prevent Transcendent A Grade criminals from breaking out and injuring others, the Prison of the Undead also added transparent Ningli glass as partitions in this type of interrogation room, so that the interrogator here can clearly see everything on the other side.
"No, Mr. Baron, I think you should know better than me why I came to you, right?" Xavier touched his chin.
"I'm just curious, your highness, what can you give? Or is it a hard robbery?" Baron Holmullander cleared his throat, he smiled slyly, and the scars on his body made his face very pale.
"You have the Templar Knights and the Nori City Defense Army, and the entire Holmulander Army is no match for you, but you have to know what that thing represents!" Baron Holmullander stood up suddenly.
"You know what? That represents a technology that does not exist in this era. It is more like the magic of an alchemist. No, it shouldn't be said that. How can those stupid alchemy liars be compared with such a thing!"
Holmland's face turned red, and he couldn't help but breathless after saying so many words in one breath.
Technology that is ahead of the times? Xavier frowned. This statement is ridiculous. For him, what thing in his memory is not a technology that is ahead of the times?
"Oh, Your Highness, what can you give me?" Holmland took a deep breath, regained his mood, and sat down again.
"Freedom, I will remove the title of Baron Holmullander. From now on, you are Justin. You can live in any city of your choice. I can provide you with citizenship documents and a job suitable for you."
Xavier said in a deep voice.
"This is the freedom I give you. Otherwise, you should know what the consequences will be."
Hearing this, Holmulande shuddered. He knew very well the consequences of being a baron and crusading against the Norse lords, and being imprisoned in the Prison of the Dead for life. This is also the reason why he is almost 37 years old and has not yet married.
Once he failed, his relatives would inevitably be thrown into the prison of the dead. And this "once" eventually happened.
"Like a bird in a cage? Your Highness, exile me to a random city and destroy my Holmuland family?"
Baron Holmland sneered, his fingers constantly looking at the iron table.
"Justin Holmuland, who graduated in history and political science from Linglan University, should know the King's Law of Sentinoa better than I do. And your action this time is more likely to attract the executive of the Heretic Arbitration Tribunal.
."
Xavier smoothed his hair.
"This is the best ending for you. If you stay, maybe the whole of Holmuland will be buried with you. And you should be the last descendant of your Luke family, right?"
"Free? Just because they moved from a small cage to a larger cage, is it considered free?" Baron Holmland coughed twice in pain.
"Take your villagers and leave Sentinoa. You can choose to go to Punokai Castle, Ye Kelan, Grant... or even go deep into the unexplored world."
Seeing Baron Holmland shake his head slightly, Xavier immediately continued to drop the next negotiation bomb.
"..." Baron Holmlander glanced at Xavier in surprise. The lives of the entire Holmlander people... Baron Holmlander gritted his teeth, his eyes full of struggle.
"This is a drawing given to me by an old friend of mine." Finally, after struggling in silence for a long time, Baron Holmland scratched his hair and lowered his head in despair.
The Holmullander family and village are the last legacy of his grandfather. Over the years, generations of Holmullander family heads have worked diligently to manage this small manor, which contains countless memories and the past. It
It can't disappear, absolutely not!
Baron Holmuland made an apologetic gesture toward the northeast of Ain Mohai. Then, the baron took out a locket from his neck.
"Mix Miya stone and volcanic rock in a ratio of one to three, calcine the clinker in an ore calcination similar to burnt iron stone, and then grind it into fine pieces. Because of its hardened color, it is similar to the Miya island in Midritro.
The stone used for construction is similar and Miya stone is used, so I named it Miya cement.”
Baron Holmland opened the locket close to his body and took out a small parchment. He twisted the somewhat old paper and read it.
"Can you believe it? Your Highness, I have tried it! I tried it according to what it said, and it worked. It really worked! In just a few hours, a five-meter-high stone wall was built!"
Baron Holmland was a little excited. He stared into Xavier's eyes, his long eyelids drooping, and he could only vaguely see the ice blue light.
"We really can't be like Xuansiti's Winter Fortress..."
Baron Holmland was still talking, but under Xavier's calm appearance, there was already a turmoil in his heart.
He believed that he heard correctly. At the end of Baron Holmland's words, he said the word "cement".
But cement does not exist in this world!
It was 3,400 years after Nohi that people invented the technology of building stone city walls. Building stone walls put forward high requirements for materials and technology. Good stone cutting tools, lifting tools and winches were required.
After these techniques were mastered by craftsmen, the construction of stone city walls was immediately used everywhere.
However, one disadvantage of the stone city wall is that the construction period is too long, and a wooden structure is required as the internal frame. The manpower and material resources spent make the construction of a city wall the most troublesome thing for countless lords.
Xavier believed that Baron Holmland had also thought of that. Cement was indeed a technology ahead of its time. Once it replaced the construction technology of masons, the construction period and resources would be reduced by half.
Then even a viscount can take on the work of building the city wall.
Yes, it is a technology that can change the world and transcend this world.
Xavier frowned and stared deeply at Baron Holmulande.
Because at the same time, this is not a technology that belongs to this world.
