Age of Apocalypse

After Perth issued the order, Nader also knew that Perth was far clearer about the situation in the Tulip Territory than he knew, otherwise he would never have considered everything so step-by-step and just right.

After Nader left, Chuck walked in wearing a blue buckle robe and saluted, "Dear Baron, as your follower, I have to remind you.

Excessive population may lead to a food crisis for you, which is very irrational."

To this, Perth replied with a confident smile, "Don't worry about Mr. Chuck. When the magic elves are settled tomorrow spring, the yield of the farmland will only increase steadily.

Moreover, the fertilized land will also bring surprises to the tulip ties, please believe me.”

Chuck said, "I hope so."

But I always felt that Perth was up to something else.

I have to say that Chuck had the right idea. When Perth asked him to carve an inscription for the cesspool, old Chuck almost choked to death on his own saliva!

........

At the same time, Tulip Town's first caravan of the year set off with the hope and enthusiasm of the Tulip Leader.

Sure enough, before the caravan came back, Perth received a letter from Count Feilengcui, along with a special invitation letter from the Gio Chamber of Commerce!

"It's great. It seems that Tulip Porcelain will definitely become the leading high-end product! I seem to see piles of golden Madrid waving to us!

Congratulations, Your Excellency the Baron!" Nader said excitedly after reading the letter.

As the largest trading house in the southwest region of the Kingdom of York, the Gio Chamber of Commerce is second to none even in the royal capital. Even other countries have the power of the Gio Chamber of Commerce.

Perth knew this very well. Without his father, the Gio Chamber of Commerce would never have been so polite. It was more likely that they would have directly forcibly annexed the porcelain formula and methods!

With great strength comes widespread influence, which gave Perth another intuitive experience of the Hogworth continent.

It was easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree, so Perth was not worried about the sales and influence of Tulip Porcelain. After all, he gave 20% of his income to Count Feilengcui and Nanshan Castle.

............

Speaking of strength, Perth thought of the horse thief who was still in the dungeon, and asked, "By the way, Knight Case, how are the horse thieves in the dungeon doing?"

"According to your instructions, I provided him with as comfortable an environment as possible and a sumptuous meal," Case said.

After speaking, Perth thought for a while, looked at Case and said, "Knight Commander Case, you are one of my powerful pillars, and no one can take your place.

But I think you should know that the development of the territory is inseparable from its strong strength, and I think you understand what I mean."

"Of course, Dear Lord Perth. But..." Keith naturally understood that he was just a little worried about the bandits and said immediately.

But Perce waved his hand nonchalantly, interrupted Case, and said with a smile, "I understand your concerns, Knight Case.

But I believe that if given a choice, no one would want to become a homeless gangster."

Hearing Perth's words, Case couldn't help but said, "Your kindness is like the sky, my lord!"

"Okay, I think I need to have a good chat with my future deputy captain of the knights." Perth stood up and said.

............

In the dark and gloomy dungeon, rows of torches made the steel cell door look extremely hard, and it was so cold that it made your scalp numb.

This is the underground prison of Tulip Castle. Each room is separated by a thick and solid stone wall.

Perth refused Case's companionship and walked to the depths of the secret cell alone, where he met the horse thief who had once been extremely arrogant in front of him - Luca.

At this time, Luca was even a little slovenly, with a musty smell filling the air.

Seeing Perth's arrival, Luca stared at Case with a pair of eagle-like eyes, as if he was always ready to devour him.

Perce sat on a chair nearby and said with a smile, "Don't look at me like that, Luca. I don't think your kind brother will like you like this, right?"

Hearing Perth's words, Luca suddenly went crazy, roaring like a trapped animal, and kept beating the steel prison door with his iron fist, "Dang! Dang! Dang!" The sound of metal collision seemed to be accusing.

"Despicable noble, what are you going to do to my brother?!" Luca yelled.

Perce looked at Luca in front of him, shook his head and said, "Of course I won't do anything to a child. This is not my character. I just heard that you came here to deal with me in order to get my illegitimate brother's money."

He even sold himself to become a serf so that your brother could have a better life."

Seeing that Luka was still lowering his head silently, as if he didn't want to mention it, Perce then said, "I heard that your brother has a good talent for magic. I thought maybe I could find a good Arch Druid as his

Teacher, what do you think?"

"What are your conditions?" At this time, Luka suddenly raised his head and asked.

His tone of expecting surprise gave Perth a premonition that he might have a strong general.

Then, he looked into Luca's eagle-like eyes and said with a smile, "What conditions can I offer, I just don't want to waste your talent.

Provide you with a better smooth road, become my subject, as a member of my knights, pick up the glory of the knights!"

Obviously, Luca, who has been around for many years, is a person who can't see rabbits without letting go of hawks. He then asked, "Why should I trust you?"

Perce looked at Luca, put his right hand on his chest, and said solemnly, "I promise you with the honor of the Medici that you will act upright as a knight and have your own farmland and real estate.

Have a beautiful wife and smart and lovely children, and be an upright knight!"

"Dear Your Excellency Perth, Luca Ater offers you his most sincere allegiance." Luca said nothing, then knelt down on one knee and said in a loud and powerful voice.

Perth looked at Luca in surprise, as if he had never thought that he had a noble surname.

And asked, "Luka Art, it seems you are a down-and-out noble?"

"My great-grandfather was once a noble knight of Sramesses I." Luca replied, with some pride and embarrassment in his tone.

After hearing this, Perth looked at Luca and chuckled, "Perhaps, you will regain the glory of the Art family, maybe."

.........

In winter, the sky seems to be full of goose feathers floating down, and the surface of the Yuxi River is even like a mirror, which undoubtedly heralds the arrival of cold.

The traveling caravan brought back carts of goods, boxes full of gold coins, and serfs.

These are inspiring and warming the tulip collar, making the cold snowy day no longer so cold and lonely.

Moreover, with the bumper harvest of grain and the promotion of Perth, the scale of livestock breeding by the territorial residents is gradually expanding. According to Nader's statistics, the scale of purchasing poultry will even have to be expanded next year.

Everything is progressing for the better.

........

The blazing fire in the fireplace illuminated everyone's faces. Perce, Chuck, Nader, Case, and Luca were sitting around, and Old Stone was drinking hot cocoa next to him.

During this time, Nader said with emotion, "The 300 serfs have been settled. If it weren't for those low-pitched houses, this would be a disaster. I'm really lucky. I'm surprised by your foresight!"

Under Perth's auspices, the Municipal Construction Corps was established.

Serfs, wanderers, civilians, and all people with architectural talents gathered together with Perth's approval, coupled with Perth's generosity and prestige, a construction team of 30 people was established within a month.

The first order they received was to build simple huts for serfs to live in.

In addition, every month, he will go to Feilengcui's Nanshan Castle to deliver a cart of porcelain. This is an agreement signed by Count Feilengcui and Perth, and Nanshan Castle will also pay Tulip 600 gold Madrid every month.

Of course, Count Feilengcui's profit from this is definitely more than what he earns, he guarantees.

After all, the Royal Court of York is only one of the patrons of Feileng Cui Nanshan Castle.

Perth smiled and said, "Okay Nader. Believe me, next year's tulip collar will surprise you even more!"

"Of course, I firmly believe that the Tulip Leader will achieve glory under your leadership!" Nader complimented.

After that, Perth looked at Old Chuck again.

Old Chuck, who was smiling bitterly in his heart, touched the crystal antlers helplessly and sighed, "Your Excellency Perth, your plan is so amazing, it is something I have never heard of.

I think I have to think about it carefully."

But Perth didn't say much, after all, he knew it.

Let a druid who pursues nature violate the laws of nature and use elemental magic circles to change the birth level of magic elves from elven gems. This is obviously against their original intention.

This is also the reason why Perth has been reluctant to place the magic elves in his hands.

Finally, Perce looked at Keith and Luca, who were wearing fur cloaks, and asked, "So, how are the two knights, Keith and Luca, forming?"

"Your generous salary has attracted a large number of people, but your requirements are too harsh, and you have only recruited five people so far." Upon hearing this, Case shook his head and sighed helplessly, his words a little frustrated.

He could never understand why many rangers and wandering knights who had nothing left would rather live in exile than live a decent life for the glory of knights.

Luka pursed his lips and thought for a moment, put down the hot tea in his hand, and said, "There may be two of my former subordinates who can meet your request, but I don't know if they can get your permission."

Just when Perth decided to meet, he suddenly heard the noise outside.

He couldn't help but frown and look outside, raising his voice and asking, "What's so noisy? What happened?"

Oldston walked in quickly, lay down in Perth's ear and whispered, "It was the robbers who attacked Laura and the caravan and plundered our finances."

"Tulip Territory is a notoriously remote and barren area in Nanshan Territory. How could the robbers come here?!" Perth stood up and asked angrily.

Stone shook his head and expressed that he did not understand, and then told Perth what the caravan man said, "I heard from the caravan people that they did not attack the town, but just wandered around the edges and robbed passing residents and caravans.

Moreover, they are more like a group of lonely wandering knights, and the armors of more than ten of them are already rusty."

Luca hurriedly said, "Dear Baron, please allow me to offer you my loyalty!"

Perth looked at Luca, who was completely different from Case's anger. He seemed to be a little anxious, which made Perth a little strange.

Then Perth was no longer in a hurry and sat down leisurely.

Looking at Luka jokingly, he asked with a smile, "It seems that our deputy leader Luka knows something?"
