Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 161: White Deer Town, May

Claude had nothing to refuse about her sister Anna's request to learn magic. He took out the diary from the magic recipe he had translated and gave it to his sister to learn some of the hidden truths of history. He then took out two more diaries of Master Landers and the magic note to tell his sister how he had acquired these things.

Anna found out that Claude went on an adventure in White Eulet to get what Master Landers left behind in his magic recipe diary, and that's how the python snake was killed two years ago. Claude's narrative made her sister nervously cover her mouth...

Picking up Master Landers' diary and magic notes, Claude briefly introduces the content and then explains to his sister what is the difference between a magician and a fighting magician, as well as what Mrs. Maria said about magicians in the Farea and Orvillas kingdoms. What's a registered magician, what's a wild magician, what you know about underground magic markets, and so on.

After her sister Anna digested what she said, she still firmly expressed her desire to be a magician, which was nothing to say, and Claude began to teach her how to practice Six-Mounth Meditation and even showed her a white paper painting.

Claude tried her best to guide her sister Anna through her first meditation on how to outline the six-month pattern in meditation space and how to intercept magical elements that were not her own properties, photons, and converge into the six-month star.

Perhaps her sister Anna's magical gift was really good, and in just over an hour she completed her first meditation, successfully constructing a six-mounted structural baldness case in the spiritual space. The only thing different from Claude was that she said that the elements of her meditation space where the six stars converged were light blue and felt like water waves.

There's no need to test it. Obviously, Claude's magical gift is water property, which makes Claude feel a little sorry. He is himself a fire attribute. If his sister's magic attribute is the same as his, he may be able to give a pointer in engraving basic spells when the sister is promoted to a first-degree grammar, but the attributes are always different, and it seems that she can only find out for herself.

Claude remembers Lady Maria saying that her magical gift seemed to be also a water attribute, and watching her give birth to an idea in her heart.

“Anna, do you want to study pharmacy? ”

My sister looked at Claude in confusion: "Learn pharmacology? ”

“Yes," Claude nodded: “On the one hand, learning about the synthesis of some magic materials and drugs by learning about pharmacology, on the other hand, magic drugs can be refined. For example, the tubes of primary therapy I have here are of perfect quality, which is not available outside. On the other hand, perhaps you can become a pharmacist in the future to hide your magician identity. ”

“Well, I'll learn. I don't know if I can do it.” Sister Anna had no objection to Claude's arrangement, but she seemed to have little confidence in herself.

“Nothing, if you have time in the future, just look at the pharmacology books in the pharmacy lab, understand the basic common sense and scope of pharmacology, the most important thing is to know the experimental materials and the herbal knowledge, identify the difference between fresh harvested herbs and refined treated herbs, other than what I don't ask of you.

Also, while practicing meditation, don't forget to learn Gukherz, whether it's a word or a language, and you have to be as proficient and consistent as the Hebrew generic language we use today. You know, hundreds of years ago, all the magicians were using Gukherz, and they thought that Gukherz had evolved from dragon language and was a magical language.

Whether it's spells or inscriptions, they're written in the Gukherz language. So if you want to be a true magician, you have to master the language completely. Although grammar classes in the country now teach you Gukherz languages and scripts, it's just a brief introduction, and you want to learn this language mainly by yourself.

These dictionaries and pronunciation and spelling textbooks on Gukherz language and script I used to buy from learning, and now I give them to you, if you don't understand anything, you can ask me. Don't worry, Anna, you're young, there's plenty of time, don't see so much to learn and regret being a magician. You can't lose a pie in the sky. If you want to succeed, you have to work on your own. There's nothing in the world that doesn't work for you, okay? ”

“I know, Second Brother, I'll try.” My sister went upstairs to her bedroom with a big pile of books.

After his sister's magic lesson, Claude was busy forming various teams on the site, and with his insistence, the youth workforce in the civilian area was almost wiped out by Normanly Real Estate Development. The construction team of nearly a thousand people made Lutheran housekeepers scream, because Claude gave each worker two silver tallers a month's high salary, which would cost around four and a half hundred gold kroner a month to pay the monthly light salary.

But there's no way. Unlike Claude's past life, every young workforce is a potential source. Particularly painful is the importance attached by the countries of the continent to the restriction of the individual liberties of the civilian population, which prevents the free circulation of manpower in the country by not relocating at will alone. Claude also suddenly remembered at the reminder of Uncle Thomas that there are no peasant workers in the world who go to work in the city. Without being proactive, I'm afraid I won't find anyone to work on the site after it starts...

At present, the eastern part of the slums is not officially opened, and the main activities are essentially land levelling, demolition of old and dilapidated houses, and selection of good building materials for backup. At the same time, personnel will be organized to cut timber at the Normanly Forest Farm. Lutheran Butler on the other side will also contact the brick yard to supply a large quantity of red bricks, as well as to purchase construction materials such as sand lime rope pottery tubes and cement.

Looking at the fast-paced money borrowed from the National Bank, the worried Lutheran butler came to Claude again.

“Nothing, we can divide the East End into three phases of the project, build the first phase of the house first, sell it out and you will have the money to continue the next phase II or III of the building, there is no need to build it all at once before selling it. Or we can let those interested in buying pay half of the purchase price in advance and the rest when the house is ready for delivery.” Claude had bamboo in his chest.

With two-thirds of the Glades already in place, Claude had nothing to worry about, and the lack of money was irrelevant, at least until the end of Phase I and Phase II of the development. As long as Mrs Maria says that Sterling X announced in mid-May a plan to develop and upgrade Bai Lu Town to a city is true, then as soon as the price of the house rises, the first phase of the construction of the building alone will allow everyone to recover the principal money, and all that remains is profit. You know, real estate has been known in previous generations as the windfall industry.

On 12 May, twelve Class II and Class III pelagic warships from the Ministry of the Navy sailed over a dozen miles of winding waterways and anchored inside Lake Beringa. They are said to be the first fleet of pirate gangs that have just cleared the storm waters and have been ordered to come to White Deer Town for rest. Virtually all the inhabitants of White Deer Town flocked to the pier to watch the English figure of the Royal Navy Battleship.

On 15 May, around 9: 30 a.m., Sterling X travelled to the National Assembly to announce a plan to subordinate the town of Bai Lu to the King's Duty, upgrade it to a city and develop it. As for the construction of the naval base, that's not true, anyway.

Meanwhile, the envoy who had arrived from Wang Du to Bai Lu Town one day earlier was dressed up and read Wang Sterling X's royal decree in front of all public officials at the town hall. This was an unexpected surprise for a public official in White Deer Town. From this moment on, they have been sitting on an equal footing with local officials from Barromise County who are of high rank and will receive significant increases and subsidies in salary benefits.

Naturally, the most excited is the mayor, Baron Robert, who never dreamed that he would be the mayor of a city, and suddenly he felt that it was too cost-effective to get the position of mayor of White Deer. If you can earn the weight of Wangdu during the development and upgrading of Bai Lu Town to the city, you may be able to pass on this Baron for another three generations.

Of course, there was no lack of opportunity to make a fortune in the development process, and Mayor Robert had sole control of the town hall, believing that any dignitary from King to White Deer would have to cooperate. Perhaps he can also relate to Wangdu's powerful personalities so that he can also have reliable thighs to rely on...

Sir Fox is rather lost compared to Mayor Robert. Because Bai Lu Town was developed and upgraded to the city, it means that he will no longer be the only national councillor in Bai Lu Town. In accordance with the regulations governing the election of members of the Royal National Assembly, cities at the city level can have three members of the National Assembly, which means that White Deer Town will have three members of the National Assembly starting next year. For Sir Fox, the political resources at his disposal have been divided by two thirds. How can this make him feel better...

But only then did Sir Fox finally understand the true intent of Mrs. Maria to invest in real estate development in the slums, and he could not help but shout at Mrs. Maria's face. Such a wealthy business did not seek his partnership, it was simply not in his eyes. But he also had to stay in his study to scold the bitch, and to be honest, he knew that he, Lady Nagemaria, could not.

Perhaps it doesn't matter that other town officials don't care about Mrs. Maria. It's not on the two lines anyway, it doesn't intersect. And Sir Fox knows her power in King's Landing. As a national councillor, don't look at him in Bai Lu Town, he can be said to be covered in the sky, and local officials in the town hall have to ask for his voice. But in Wang Du, he was just a little reptile in the eyes of others. I wondered if he could have stood in the National Assembly if Lady Maria hadn't pulled him off for the sake of her hometown.

So there's no way Lady Maria's not taking him to Sir Fox, let alone trying to get Lady Maria into trouble. Now that Bai Lu Town is under the King's jurisdiction, it's not like Sir Fox had an accident with the old man of the county to find a way to solve the problem. Besides, the county can't handle Bai Lu Town anymore.

If you don't dare offend Mrs. Maria, then you can paint a tiger like a cat. Sir Fox then approached the mayor of Robert and decided to set up a real estate development company, which looked to the west of the Glades. He also gave some shares to the Black Snake Club boss, Bidrill, to incorporate the old street plot in his hands into the company and to put him in charge of the relocation and expropriation of the West End poor.

Just to surprise Sir Fox and Mayor Robert, at a time when the Black Snake Club's Big Butcher Bill was under his command forcing residents of the West Side of the Glades to relocate and jump like chickens and dogs, and civil grievances were boiling over, the Navy fleet stationed on Lake Beringa dispatched an army battalion, blocked the entire Glades, expelled the Fourth Guard Squadron of the Black Snake Club's Big Butcher Bill, and sent several Navy officers to the Town Hall to announce that, from now on, the Glades had been included in the construction of the Naval Base, which belonged to the Navy Department's base restricted area.

The mayor, Baron Robert, was dead, so what about his new investment in a real estate development company? Will the land expropriation for the new deal be compensated?

Navy officers produced a document, read out on the spot, as a plan for the expropriation of land for the construction of a naval base, before May 15 real estate transactions were listed as valid transactions. After May 15, when His Majesty the King had announced the White Deer Town Grand Development Plan, real estate transactions within the scope of the expropriation would not be recognized. The Navy Department's personnel responsible for the expropriation plan would only compensate the owners of the property before May 15 registered by the Town Hall Registration Department...

The news is like a sunny thunderbolt to Mayor Robert, which means he invested nearly 100 kilograms in water drifting. But then came Sir Fox, calm down, pointing to the Neighborhood East on the map where Normanly Real Estate Development was building, and asking, "Is this area also within your boundaries? ”

Navy officers smiled and revealed their white teeth: “This area does belong to our land acquisition, but since it is already under construction and meets our needs, we decided to work with them instead of forcibly…”
