Phoenix Grand Lord

The topic of whether to sleep together was just a shock that was heard but not real.

The Stone Tower Outpost and the Bell Ringing Army of Meilin Valley were shocking.

But if the Stone Tower Outpost and the Bell Ringing Army shocked Lord Walton and others, then the majestic Dengshan Pass in front of them was a shocking shock.

Let alone the design of Dengshan Pass, or how much stone it would take, just the difficulty of this project is not something that an ordinary manor can complete.

It requires a strong forward-looking layout, requires the employment of experienced senior stonemasons, and requires a lot of financial, material and human resources!

Without a rich family background of a century-old manor, it is absolutely impossible to implement the construction.

Even Lord Walton, who owns a manor of more than a hundred years, does not have the ability to build a defensive pass of such a scale in his own manor.

Let alone Walton, even a territory like Zilin Town that has been operating for a thousand years has not had a defensive pass of this level so far.

It can be said that Dengshan Pass has already taken shape as a small military fortress!

And Meiling Valley Manor is clearly an abandoned and desolate enclave, where even birds don't come to shit, but they were able to build such a majestic pass fortress in just three months, without any innate conditions and too much labor. How could Lord Walton and others not be shocked by such a huge contrast?

Although Donny and other young masters did not understand the value of Dengshan Pass, they were also shocked and speechless.

They thought that they came to Meiling Valley this time to see how poor and unhappy Luo Wei was, but before they saw Luo Wei, or even before they really walked into Meiling Valley Manor, they were shocked twice.

Lord Walton took a breath of cold air, "Durdy, this should be all your credit, right? Why didn't I realize you are so good earlier?"

Durdy shook his head and waved his hands, "No, no, no! How could this be my credit? This was all designed by my master Rowe, and he asked the stonemasons to build it with the bell ringers - really!"

"Rowe designed it?" Lord Walton's face was full of disbelief, "Oh, I see, you must be flattering your master again."

Durdy didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "No, it's really not."

Lord Walton patted Durdy gently Bachelor's shoulder, "Don't worry, I understand you, you are really a good and loyal servant."

Douldi's lower lip was trembling with excitement: "Master Walton, although---but, you are really good at judging people!"

Donnie next to him couldn't help asking: "Your bell ringing army is also responsible for construction? I thought they were only responsible for fighting."

Douldi said proudly: "Our bell ringing army can not only fight, but also build. We never keep idle people in Merlin Valley."

Speaking of this, Doudi suddenly thought of counting the spoils last night while listening to the rhythm of the whole manor's Yunpei,

and suddenly felt like crying.

And Walton and other lords nodded with envy.

There is a serf army that can build and fight, which is really enviable.

After that, Doudi continued to introduce Dengshan Pass to everyone.

Looking at Dengshan Pass from a distance, it is magnificent. The architectural style is obviously different from that of the Regan world, but it is very practical.

There are two hills on the left and right of Dengshan Pass, and there are two taller arrow towers on the mountain.

Two hills form a pass, which tightly defends the Meiling Valley Manor behind it.

Even people who don't understand military affairs can see that it is harder than climbing to the sky to break through this pass.

With such a pass, plus level 3 hired knights, level 4 retainer knights, level 5 magicians, and bell-ringing troops who can fight and build, it is not surprising that Meiling Valley has won so many defense battles.

Walton and others even began to sympathize with those manor lords who dared to attack Meiling Valley.

At the same time, Walton and others also became more and more convinced that this could never be the credit of that waste Luo Wei.

The half-bald Lord Domon finally couldn't help asking: "From the stone tower, to the equipment of the bell-ringing army, to the construction of Dengshan Pass, this set must cost a lot of money, right? Where did you get the money from in Meiling Valley?"

Everyone stared at Durdy with wide eyes, waiting for his answer.

After all, everyone knows that when Luo Wei came to Meilin Valley from Zilin Town, he had less than 100 gold coins on him, and even less supplies.

It is simply impossible to develop to this level in 3 months with 100 gold coins.

Durdi smiled calmly, "I guess you have heard of a new type of beer that is popular in the world recently?"

Drake's eyes widened immediately, "What?! Beer?! Is the beer brewed by you in Meilin Valley?

Ban Donnie asked: "Beer---very expensive, right? Drake, have you ever drunk it?"

Drake said excitedly: "Wheat beer is of course very expensive, but barley beer is relatively much cheaper. I go to the tavern in the manor every day and spend 1 gold coin to drink a glass of barley beer. Oh! That beer is really delicious!"

"What! 1 gold coin! Or barley? Is this still cheap?" Drake's father Bald Audis scratched his scalp, "I finally know where you spend your money. ”

Lord Walton frowned: "I heard that drinking wheat beer is now popular even among the imperial aristocracy. Could it be that the ancestor's secret brewing recipe that Rowe mentioned in the letter is the secret recipe for brewing beer? Beer is really yours Brewed in Merrill Valley?”

Duerdi smiled, "The beer is indeed brewed by our Merrill Valley, but the recipe is not left by our ancestors, but was developed by Master Luo Wei himself.

As soon as these words came out, everyone else present gasped.

In their hearts, Luo Wei is trash.

But now, Luo Wei's Meilin Valley not only has stone towers, bell-ringing troops, and Dengshan Pass, but also has an extremely profitable beer business.

Although Walton and others still do not believe that all this is due to Luo Wei, their initial impression of Merrill Lynch Valley being poor and useless has been completely refreshed!

Today's Meilin Valley is definitely a first-class manor in the entire Purple Forest Territory.

Even if placed in the entire Red Fei Earldom, it would definitely rank among the top three!

It’s only been three short months!

Start from scratch, make something from scratch! From scratch to strength!

This speed of development is truly a miracle on earth!

Then Duherdi said: "Of course, to the outside world, we say we made a lot of money selling beer, but you are all my family members, so of course I can't hide it."

Donnie quickly said: "So, beer is not profitable?"

Duldy shrugged and said calmly: "No, no, beer is indeed very profitable, but it is not actually the most profitable project in our Merrill Valley."

The young and old men present were shocked again and again!

A cup of barley beer on the market costs 1 gold coin. This kind of business is no different from bending down to pick up money, but there is actually a project in Merrill Valley that is more profitable than beer! ?

Lord Walton asked in a trembling voice: "What is it?"

Duerdi looked around slowly, looking at the appearance of these young lords who had never seen the world, and secretly said how refreshing it was!

It's finally his turn to show off! This is his highlight moment!

Duerdi immediately cleared his throat and lowered his voice mysteriously, "This project - it involves secrets. So I'll wait until my master wakes up before I tell you. Knight Melvin and I My mission is to show you around first.”

"you----."

Old Lord Walton was dodged for a moment, but he couldn't get angry easily. He could only say helplessly: "Okay, I believe my nephew Luo Wei will tell me the answer."

Next, Duerdi asked Knight Maiwen to do it for him and led Lord Walton and others to climb Zuodeng Mountain to visit.

Knight Melvin was not good at words or sociability. He said nothing while climbing the mountain and just walked with his head down.

After finally climbing Zuodeng Mountain, Knight Melvin pointed to a pile of small white hop flowers and said, "This is the magic herb for brewing beer."

Then, Knight Melvin pointed to a pile of hard granite and said, "This is the stone used to build Dengshan Pass and the Stone Tower."

Walton and others immediately started to visit around the hops and granite with faces full of amazement.

Derek couldn't wait to pinch a small white hop flower, put it in his mouth and chewed it deliciously. "Don't tell me, the taste is really unique! It has a texture that I have never tasted before!"

1

Upon hearing what Drake said, the other lords and young masters also picked up the flowers and tasted them, and then nodded frequently.

"It's a little bitter at first, but the aftertaste is very sweet, and it has a strange--salty taste."

“Even though I haven’t had beer yet, I can already imagine how delicious it would be.”

"I need to eat more!"

The three young masters devoured it, and the three masters also savored it carefully.

As for the followers, they had no chance to taste it and could only swallow their saliva silently.

Dredd grabbed a handful of hops and said politely: "Knight Melvin, don't you want to try some?"

Knight Melvin said with a serious smile, ".——-No, thank you."

"Okay, you're welcome!" Drake stuffed his hand full of hops into his mouth.

"..It smells so good!"

Next, Knight Melvin took Lord Walton and others down the mountain and continued to climb Youdeng Mountain.

After climbing to the top of Youdeng Mountain, Knight Maiwen pointed to a pile of small white hop flowers and the granite next to it and said, "This is also the magic herb for brewing beer, and it is also the stone used to build Dengshan Pass and the stone tower."

Walton and others suddenly had black streaks all over their heads.

I thought there was some difference between Right Dengshan and Zuodengshan, but it turned out that it was just the difference between one hop and another hop.

The point is, in order to see one hop and another hop, they went up and down the mountain and then up and down the mountain again,

I was walked for two and a half hours!

Although they also tasted a lot of hops, Lord Walton and others were almost collapsed.

Including waiting outside the bridge and climbing two mountains, it took a total of three hours.

For three hours, they didn't even drink a sip of water, wandering around the outskirts of Merrill Valley and not really entering Merrill Valley Manor.

But since they were all here, they didn’t let go of the hops and hops, and continued to feast.

After returning to Dengshan Pass to see Duerdi, Lord Walton couldn't help but frown and said, "Dourdi, it's getting late, can we stop wandering around the outskirts of Merrill Valley?"

"Oh, of course!"

Duerdi smiled mysteriously, "I will take you to visit a very wonderful place right away. I guarantee that you will be eye-opening!"

Upon hearing this, Donnie and the other young masters' eyes immediately lit up and they cheered up.

Drake asked expectantly: "Are you going to take us to visit your brewery? Oh! I can even smell the aroma of beer in the air!"

Gilbert sneered: "Drake, you just know how to drink! Aren't you satisfied with the beer you just ate?"

Drake grinned and said, "Hops are delicious, but beer is better than hops!"

Downey said: "I would rather visit the blacksmith shop in Merrill Valley. I would like to know how they make molten steel."

Duerdi grinned and said: "Masters and young masters, the place I want to take you to is much better than the brewery and the blacksmith shop! Please come with me!"

As a result, the tired guests cheered up again, passed Dengshan Pass under the leadership of Duerdi, and officially entered the Merrill Valley Manor.

As soon as they entered Merrill Valley Manor, everyone was shocked again and again.

The area of ​​Merrill Valley Manor is not too large, but the roads are well planned, clean, flat and open.

Looking along the main road, various brand-new buildings are lined up in rows and neatly arranged.

The area where farmhouses are concentrated is the living area. Next to the living area is the manual workshop area. On both sides of the workshop area are the storage area and the animal pen area.

Behind the storage area are the horse stables and training areas.

Close to the Broken Star River are industrial areas such as blacksmith shops.

In every district, there were serfs working enthusiastically, but there was no overseer with a whip.

These slaves have genuine smiles on their faces and work extremely efficiently.

Compared with the miserable slaves in other manors, the work efficiency of the slaves in Merrill Valley can be as high as three slaves in other manors.

It was already approaching noon, and smoke was rising from the big bacon in the kitchen, and the aroma of baking wheat and steamed meat was filling the air.

What a scene of an utopia!

Such a sight shocked the Walton lords even more than seeing the majestic Dengshan Pass.

It is no exaggeration to say that the level of governance of Merrill Valley definitely surpasses all the manor lords.

Lord Walton couldn't help but ask: "Duldy, how on earth did you do it?"

Duerdi said sincerely: "It's very simple, obey the master."

Walton sighed, "Duldy, if you were not loyal to my nephew Rowe, I would definitely dig you into my side at all costs.

Duerdi couldn't laugh or cry, "Mr. Walton, this is really all the result of Mr. Rowe."

Lord Walton shook his head, "I know my nephew, he will never have this kind of governance ability."

Duldy said extremely seriously: "No, he has."

At this time, Dredd took a deep breath almost greedily, "What a strong smell of wine! I have already seen the brewery!"

Duerdi led them in the opposite direction, "No, no, come here, come here, the magical place is coming soon. Lord Walton and others immediately followed with great anticipation.

After walking along a straight side road for five minutes, Duerdi brought the guests to a place——·

Public dry toilets.
