It has to be said, goblins are a really good race.

Less than a week later, thanks to the massive 'goblin mouth', the elf designer Serena arrived early in the morning to deliver the work.

After finishing her meal, Li Aili performed a "Midas touch" for Joanna.

Therefore, she is currently eating her second breakfast of the morning.

"Hmm..." Ellie put a half-cooked sunny-side-up egg in a bread roll, along with some crispy fried potato crumbs, fresh lettuce leaves, and tomato slices.

The sauce is the 'Karsa Family Secret Sauce' made by Mrs. Ben Karsa.

With a "whoosh," she took a bite... She was so hungry that she didn't even have time to savor the taste, and swallowed it after a few hasty chews.

Developing energy potions must be put on the agenda; otherwise, she'll become a complete glutton.

The elf designer was startled by the duchess's voracious appetite.

"Um, Selena, are you sure you don't want a little bit?"

Selena thought of that evil plant that could explode, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but let's get down to business."

"The first phase of the project has been completed. I've come to invite you to come with me for inspection."

Li Aili finished chewing the last bite of food.

He casually handed the fist-sized gold nugget to Joanna, then stood up while wiping his hands and said:

"Let's go and inspect the first phase of the project."

The first phase of the project includes a commercial area, a residential area, and six defensive towers built around a temporary earth elemental wall.

The six defensive towers, connected in sequence with lines, form a neat hexagon.

Most of the money for the first phase of the project was spent on these six towers.

"The primary function of these defensive towers is air defense."

Selena led Li Aili onto one of the defensive towers.

The defensive tower was about six or seven stories high, with a brass alarm bell hanging on top and a huge black ballista on the watchtower.

"This is a dragon-slaying crossbow; it only works with experienced archers."

Li Aili: "…………"

As an outstanding designer, Selena has encountered all sorts of clients.

With just one glance, she could tell from Li Aili's expression that she was dissatisfied with the defensive tower.

"Excuse my bluntness, but defending against dragon attacks is absolutely necessary."

Serena commented objectively, "Within your territory, the highest-ranking combat power is currently only that of a Gold Knight."

"For a dragon, this is the perfect target."

“Some chromatic dragons that have just left the dragon's nest will not choose to attack towns that have strong protection from their own kind.”

"They look down on villages that are too poor and desolate."

“Towns like yours, with abundant territories but no powerful rulers, are the targets that dragons love most.”

Selena raised her hand and removed the arcane glasses from the bridge of her nose.

"Therefore, my personal suggestion is that if you are going to build Zijin Fuyu, you should still build this last Dragon Tower."

“Those inexperienced ‘bandit dragons’ who see such a dragon tower will assume that there is a powerful member of their kind here for protection.”

"Therefore, we are far from your territory."

Li Aili nodded seriously after listening, "Okay, I will seriously consider your opinion."

Li Aili looked at the defense towers, "Can these defense towers be made taller? Can defensive weapons be added to them?"

In her imagination, even if the defensive tower couldn't shoot out a death ray with a 'biu' sound, it could at least launch some fireballs.

This manually aimed dragon-slaying crossbow was... a bit disappointing to her.

Selena put her arcane glasses back on and glanced at the nearby data.

"OK."

"We can increase the height, but we will charge a corresponding fee for each additional meter."

Li Aili: "Of course, what about weapons?"

Selena said directly, "If you are familiar with the arcanists in the floating city, you can order directly from them."

Selena adjusted her glasses. "If you go through our side, there will be an additional handling fee."

All Selena knew was that this human noblewoman from Emerald Valley seemed to have a good relationship with their emperor.

She simply revealed many of the "unspoken rules."

After hearing this, Li Aili immediately replied, "Okay, I'll contact them myself."

Wow! Goodness, luckily she believed in the principle of "leaving a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future"!

After leaving the defensive tower, they inspected the residential area.

This batch of residences truly solved the housing problem for the residents of Emerald Valley.

Standing at the street corner of the residential area, Selena Gomez dutifully introduced:

"As you wish, this is the first residential area in the inner city."

Selena pulled out a design blueprint from the long cylinder behind her, unfolded it, and pointed to the center. "This will be your castle, and according to your wishes, this phase of housing is the closest to the castle."

In Li Aili's words from her previous life, this is the "first ring" golden zone.

It was a welfare house she rewarded her followers with.

The houses here are all renovated into exquisite detached villas, with a courtyard in the front and a garden in the back.

The houses are separated by green belts, which is both aesthetically pleasing and ensures privacy.

However, considering the local customs and traditions, if her knights who follow her in the future feel that the house here is not worthy of their illustrious status, she might be tempted to stay.

They could easily buy a large tract of land in the suburbs and build a manor there themselves.

Of course, for those with exceptionally outstanding military achievements, she can also grant them land, allowing those knights who have made great contributions to become minor lords.
