From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider

Chapter 110 Construction of Amethyst Island

After depositing the two hundred thousand shining gold coins brought by Yuri into his private treasury, Krober continued to devote all his energy to the construction of the two territories without stopping.

It is worth mentioning that just some time ago, Krober happily spent his first birthday as a lord on Black Feather Island.

On his birthday, Crobot allowed the citizens in the territory to take a half-day holiday, and everyone was allowed to come outside the castle to receive an egg or half a pound of bacon.

However, this birthday brought some bad experiences to Krober.

After his birthday, the now seventeen-year-old Krober was bombarded by Mr. Foster's indiscriminate urging to get married.

You know, in this world, the so-called noble children must be engaged to other noble families before holding their coming-of-age ceremony.

However, Krober's situation was different. As soon as he became an official knight, he was adopted into the Golden Rose family.

Soon, he hurried to Saint-Jinbao to protect the Grand Duke, leaving no time to think about the engagement.

As for now, it's not that Krober looks down on other noble ladies at all, it's just that he really has no interest in them.

After all, for Krober, instead of wasting precious time on such boring things, it is better to spend more time practicing, or simply go to patrol his territory more times.

And tell the truth.

Since spending such a long time with Archduke Veronica, Krober's vision has become extremely picky, and girls from ordinary aristocratic families simply can't catch his eye.

He suddenly understood the feelings of those who were urged to get married in their previous lives.

It was indeed quite painful.

Let’s get back to the point.

In the past period of time, Amethyst Island has experienced large-scale financial and material investment, and now the port of Amethyst Island has been successfully completed.

At this moment, the island's workforce is concentrating on land reclamation and simultaneously advancing the construction of other facilities.

Krober's castle remains the same as before. He had previously deployed most of his labor force to the port construction project, resulting in his castle still maintaining its original foundation shape.

However, with the completion of the port construction task, Clober was finally able to prioritize the construction of the castle.

Looking at the plan presented to him by Hewell, Krober smiled with satisfaction.

After this period of time, Hewell became more and more familiar with the management of Amethyst Island.

Hewell carefully planned the entire Amethyst Island into five major areas.

The first is the completed port - which Krober named Amethyst Harbor.

According to Hewell’s proposal, this area will be built into the commercial core area of ​​Amethyst Island.

The second part is Krober's castle.

Because of its unique topography of the island in the middle of the lake, there is no need to dig moats and other facilities, and the construction period is greatly shortened. It is also where the lord Clober lives, so it is placed in the second part.

The third part is the agricultural base with Dragon Blood Basin as the core. The surrounding forests have been cleared and converted into fertile farmland.

Moreover, all the elf bugs and elves owned by Krober gathered here, and Heir led the slaves to start a new round of sowing work.

With the help of the elves, new food will surely come out of the ground in a few months.

As for the fourth part, it is where the main body of the town is located.

Hewell not only completely demolished the original Sea People tribal buildings, but also carried out comprehensive planning for them.

After completing the logging work in the Dragon's Blood Basin, and with sufficient timber resources, and with the support of a large amount of labor, the preliminary outline of a small town has emerged.

However, due to the large number of slaves transported to the past, the current town still faces the dilemma of having to accommodate several families per house.

The fifth part is a building that Crobot ordered Heel to build.

Amethyst Island Junior School.

This school is located in the southeast of Amethyst Island. It is a semi-closed education school. Its main purpose is to train officials and non-commissioned officers.

At present, Krober's officials are scarce, and the soldiers he recruits lack basic military literacy. They can maintain public order, but if they go to the battlefield, they may be defeated by the enemy in one blow.

The recruitment scope of Amethyst Island Junior School is mainly from the citizens of Krober.

This does not include purchased slaves and tribal people.

Only after they pass Krober's assessment can they get a chance to become the subjects of Krober's subordinates.

The cultivation time is not long, about one to two years.

Amethyst Island Junior School has two departments. One is the liberal arts department, which trains officials. It mainly teaches writing, arithmetic, basic etiquette, diplomacy, etc. Students in the liberal arts department need to be trained in school for one year before they can be sent to work outside.

The second department is the non-commissioned officer department that recruits only soldiers. It mainly teaches soldiers battle formations and command studies, and also cultivates soldiers' individual combat capabilities and command writing skills.

This knowledge is far more difficult to teach than in liberal arts departments, and it will take at least two years to graduate.

After graduation, these officers will be delegated to become squad leaders, supervising four to five people at a time.

These officers are assessed twice a year. If they fail, they will be directly dismissed back to ordinary soldiers.

Krober's goal is very clear. He is eager to create an invincible elite division, not the kind of weak soldiers who are as fragile as the militia.

After all, officers are the leaders among soldiers. They not only need to have more outstanding wisdom, but also must have stronger strength.

Based on this, Krober set the rules:

From the day they enter the school, any student who fails to reach the level of a trainee knight upon graduation will be directly sent back to the original army and become an ordinary soldier.

Although the current construction progress is gratifying, the cost of materials and money also makes Krober heartbroken.

However, this issue is no longer considered by Krober.

Krober still has 200,000 gold coins extorted from Red Crab Island. This wealth is enough to support him for a long time.

In addition, Amethyst Island is on the right track and will only need to develop steadily in the future.

When the island construction is completed, Krober firmly believes that the various crops and precious magic medicines produced on the island will bring huge returns.

After reviewing the plan in his hand, he put it in an envelope again and sealed it with fire paint. He signaled the attendant on the side to send the letter to Amethyst Island in the form of a raven.

"Speaking of which, the number of ravens on the island is already insufficient, and the two hundred thousand gold coins must be used not only to maintain the daily expenses of the two islands, but also to create their own intelligence agency.

If I buy some more ravens, I'm afraid the funds on hand will be a little tight. "

Krober suddenly remembered that Mr. Foster had reported to him a few days ago that the number of ravens on the island was no longer enough.

Originally there were only three or four, but Krober also asked the ravens to deliver messages to the Corolla City of the Golden Rose family. This trip took a long time.

Therefore, during this period of time, there were only two ravens on Black Feather Island, and the other one had to be placed on Amethyst Island to prevent accidents there.
