[Chapter 421 David’s Throne]
In addition to these two options, Sparta can also cross the Aegean Sea and land directly in Asia Minor.
Considering that there are a large number of islands in the Aegean Sea, it is even simpler than directly crossing the sea to land on the Apennine Peninsula.
However, David previously asked the Kingdom of Sparta to occupy the entire Europe, so Tyndareus’s attack direction has always been on the European continent, not to the east.
Of course, Asia Minor will definitely be taken by the Kingdom of Sparta, and in the future, the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea can be turned into the inland sea of the Kingdom of Sparta.
With the support of Winter City, these goals will be achieved sooner or later-the Kingdom of Sparta has no opponents in their world.
As long as David is patient, the whole world will become his “vassal” world. When that day
really comes, I wonder if I can draw energy from that world to make myself stronger?
David thinks it should be possible, as long as he finds the right way, just like he absorbed the power of Tiamut to strengthen himself.
“Everything is going well in Sparta.”
Helen’s world does not seem to need David’s extra attention. Even the slightest benefit thrown out casually is a huge gift for the people of the Kingdom of Sparta.
High-yield crops such as potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes laid the foundation for the Kingdom of Sparta to increase its population.
With various powerful weapons, the Kingdom of Sparta’s military power was the best in the world. Only they could beat others, and no one dared to beat them.
As the country’s strength grew stronger and people’s lives became better and better, the whole country became more and more pious to David, the god.
Completely different from the gods believed in by many surrounding kingdoms, after the Kingdom of Sparta believed in David, it really received a lot of care.
At present, in the Balkan Peninsula, the Kingdom of Sparta has the reputation of being the land of God.
According to legend, the Kingdom of Sparta has endless food, powerful and gorgeous weapons and armor, and drinks (tea) that the gods like to drink. The
Spartans lived in a clean, tidy, and magnificent city, wearing beautiful clothes given by the gods, and lived a happy life that mortals could hardly imagine.
“In fact, similar rumors have also begun to spread over the Iron Tree Castle.”
When talking about this, Helen laughed very happily, because these situations once again proved how correct her original decision was.
If I had retreated at that time, how could I have such a happy and comfortable life now? My motherland, the Kingdom of Sparta, would not have become as powerful as it is now.
I could not have easily crossed the realm of mortals and become an extraordinary existence.
Helen, who had eaten golden apples, used strengthening potions, and mastered arcane energy, could not be called a mortal now. Even if she did not wear power armor, she could easily defeat a group of elite soldiers of the Kingdom of Sparta.
“The bards who came to Winter City before did a good job of promoting your majesty.”
After the coronation ceremony, bards from all over the country left Winter City one after another.
Some of these bards were going to visit Port Tiran, and some wanted to go around the northern plains to see the snow scenery on the northern plains.
Some fell in love with Winter City and decided to stay here for a while;
naturally, some made new works and couldn’t wait to sing them to others, so they went all the way south.
These bards had to pass through Iron Tree Castle, so the people of Iron Tree Castle became the first audience to hear about the various wonders of Winter City.
“Does Marquis Morgan have any objection to this?”
This rumor should cause some trouble to Marquis Morgan’s rule, right? This Marquis didn’t come to complain to me? Is he so sensible?
“Marquis Morgan should not care about these things. He is still staying in Winter City and hasn’t returned.”
“Ah?”
David thought that after he went to play with the immigrant fleet for a while, these people who came to watch the ceremony would leave Winter City one after another, especially the big lords like Marquis Morgan who have their own territories to manage.
“He hasn’t left yet?”
“Yes, Marquis Morgan wants to completely rebuild the Iron Tree Castle. He has been wandering around Winter City during this period, visiting Digger and Edwin Van Cleef.”
Edwin Van Cleef is the chief designer of Winter City, and Winter City was designed by him.
Later, Digger’s joining only accelerated the construction of Winter City, and Edwin’s design plan was still used.
Even now that Winter City is constantly adding various new facilities, these new facilities have not deviated from the original design framework.
Marquis Morgan visited Edwin VanCleef to consult on how to rebuild Irontree Castle. He found the right person.
“Rebuild Irontree Castle…”
Irontree Castle is located at the key entrance to the south of the Northern Plains, which is equivalent to the southern gate of Winter City.
People living in the eastern part of Brunnia continent must pass through Irontree Castle if they want to go to the Northern Plains.
It can be said that Iron Tree Castle will be the facade of the Kingdom of Winter. From this point of view, the city must be rebuilt.
“Ask Edwin to come and see me.”
David was going to have a good talk with Edwin Van Cleef, and convey his meaning to Marquis Morgan through Edwin.
According to David’s idea, the entire city of Iron Tree Castle will be demolished: both the outer city and the inner city.
Lay various infrastructures from scratch, and then start to build various facilities.
The residential buildings should be put last to start construction, and before that, the people of Iron Tree Castle will be arranged to live in the northern plains-all residents of Iron Tree Castle can choose:
Winter City will provide them with temporary accommodation, and after the reconstruction of Iron Tree Castle is completed and new residential buildings are built, they can choose a new home from them;
Winter City will provide new accommodation and directly exchange their homes in Iron Tree Castle.
Of course, the real trouble lies in the farmland of Iron Tree Castle. Whether it belongs to the nobles or the farmers, how should these farmlands be dealt with when Iron Tree Castle is demolished and rebuilt?
Abandoned? I’m afraid no one is willing!
Let them continue to farm by themselves? In that case, there will be more troubles to solve.
Find someone to farm for you?
After thinking about it, it seems that the simplest and most straightforward way is to leave it there and then let Winter City compensate the owners of these farmlands.
This is the general direction. David does not need to worry about the specific details and operations. Weatherby and his men are responsible for these tasks.
After such an operation, Iron Tree Castle will become a brand new modern city, no longer the smelly and backward posture of the past.
At the same time, various “illegal buildings” outside Iron Tree Castle can also be completely cleared, and the appearance of the city will be greatly improved.
These low-level civilians who originally lived in the slums may become residents of the Northern Plains after living in the Northern Plains for a period of time, and can fill a large number of people in the newly built Port of Tilan.
Let David’s plan to continuously expand the scope of Winter City until the entire Northern Plains becomes a city continue to move forward.
After listening to David’s ideas, Edwin Van Cleef knew what he should do: he didn’t need to care about what Iron Tree Castle looked like now. He just needed to design a new city based on the terrain around Iron Tree Castle.
“You can think carefully about what kind of new city to design in the near future.”
After instructing Van Cleef, David looked at the position of the sun outside and found that it was already afternoon.
After asking questions for most of the day, he already knew the situation of Winter City during his absence.
After dealing with these trivial matters, David went downstairs to see the newly built front hall.
Because it was just an empty hall, it was built very quickly. This front hall is located on the south side of Glamorgan Castle, in front of the main gate. It
is connected to Glamorgan Castle by a corridor, which does not affect the entry and exit from the main gate of Glamorgan Castle.
The front hall is well away from Glamorgan Castle to ensure that the building will not affect the lighting of any area inside Glamorgan Castle.
Walking into the front hall through a short corridor, there are two passages facing the left and right sides respectively. You
can walk into the side of the front hall by any passage: after coming out of the passage on the left and slightly turning your head to the right, you can see the throne on the steps facing the main door of the front hall.
The entire front hall is empty and tall, with only a few thick stone pillars outside the throne, and no other objects.
“Is this throne made of light cast iron?”
David could tell at a glance that the main material used to make the throne was very easy to identify because of its high affinity with the Holy Light.
Sitting on it, David could feel that the Holy Light in his body had established some kind of connection with the throne. In just one breath, David knew that a large number of Holy Light spells were attached to the throne.
Including Holy Shield, Powerful Healing, etc., which can ensure that David sitting on the throne will not be threatened in any way.
Even if the entire front hall collapsed, the Holy Light energy contained in the throne would form a huge energy shield in time, so that the falling stones would be bounced away from a far enough area, ensuring that the throne and the area around the throne would not be buried.
However, for David, these functions had no practical significance. The reason why David’s throne was enchanted with so many spells was simply to make a special enough throne, otherwise the craftsmen would think it was not worthy of the great David Glamorgan.
“Fortunately, the actual feeling of sitting on it is not as ‘cold and uncomfortable’ as it looks.”
The craftsmen who know the preferences of His Majesty Glamorgan very well would certainly not make a throne with powerful enchantments that looks extremely gorgeous but is very uncomfortable to sit on.
People who are familiar with David know that he attaches great importance to comfort and practicality. If it is uncomfortable to sit on, then no matter how powerful or special it is, the final result will only be that it will be kicked to pieces by His Majesty the King.
Therefore, this cold and hard throne made of many special metals feels similar to a lazy chair when sitting on it – except that the user does not sink into the chair, but into a ball of energy.
