Sean's life was rather boring in the following days. He would get up every day, get everything ready and then go to the study to read. He would take a nap at noon and would not go out for a walk until the afternoon.
And most of them went to several prosperous places in the city to see what kind of prosperity Oro City has. It feels better than Koga City. At least in terms of prosperity, Oro City's streets are better than Koga City's most prosperous Brucan Avenue.
He would also visit the commercial streets, the mechanical workshops, the large library, the college, and so on. He didn't often visit the small towns outside the city. Mainly because wherever he went, people knew that things would get chaotic when the Earl arrived. Although the three-day vacation passed quickly, his approach to the people upon taking office was universally praised, and many people gathered around simply to catch a glimpse of him.
I feel like a former big star, people pay attention to me wherever I go.
As for the city's development planning, Sean has not yet intervened. A city has its own operating pace. Although this pace is only stable and declining most of the time and it is difficult to develop, Sean will not move until he fully understands the entire Oro City.
Even if he hadn't come, Oro City would have been able to operate naturally for many years. It's impossible for it to decline just because he came, so Sean just watched and didn't say anything these days.
This move also attracted the attention of many famous families in Oro City.
During the three days of vacation, one or two children from noble families came to visit almost every day. I don’t know how they found out that I met Filo from the Diawara family on the first day, but all the people who came on the second day were girls.
This made the servants in the Earl's Mansion very busy. They didn't have so many maids to begin with, but they had to take care of so many people at once - four or five in the morning and more than a dozen in the afternoon.
Later, Sean finally understood that these so-called famous families in Oro City actually wanted to obtain a family position from him, such as the finance minister, material manager, or chamber of commerce manager. They would be very happy if any one of them could fall into their hands. Some people even began to want to bribe the guards around him.
Tsk tsk
Not only are there factions among the nobility, but there are also such struggles in city management.
Ascalante was currently the most loyal person to him. After he promised to build an army for him, he often told him about these things in private. Especially at the desk after dinner, he would tell him everything he had seen and heard that day.
"Sir, I saw the guards of the Royal Guards communicating with the Morgan family for a long time today. Do you want me to investigate?"
I was reading a book when Ascalante suddenly walked in and said.
"Oh, the Morgans?"
"Yes, my lord."
The Morgan family is another commercial giant in Oro City, almost as powerful as the Diawara family. However, they are responsible for different sectors. The Morgan family is engaged in commercial land leasing and lending, which is simply a combination of real estate and banking. The Diawara family, on the other hand, is more involved in retail and catering, and of course, they also have some of their own integrated businesses.
"Well, very good. Sergeant, please pay attention to these things, but don't disturb them. If they are your soldiers, you can remind them, but there is no need to punish them. I also want to see what their purpose is!"
"OK."
Ascalante said with some excitement!
In fact, in the eyes of insiders, Aslant was a bit too talkative, but this was exactly the energy Sean needed from the other party.
It was precisely because of the temptation that he had promised to build an army that he was not willing to accept the small favors from the local families, and it also made the locals hate him, so that they would try to curry favor with another local general, Joseph. When Joseph came to complain, he could then make a choice between the two.
As for Aslant's minor flaws, Sean thought they were normal. If someone was so loyal to him that he didn't need anything in return, he should be wary of a trap! As long as the other party asked for something, he could control it.
On the other hand, Ross has already started drawing maps. These days, he even went to sleep in the academy in Oro City and did not come back. It is said that he is busy making maps and sand tables of the entire Oro City. Moreover, with his authorization, many students and academy tutors will come to help. Even some children from aristocratic families have sent their guards to conduct on-site measurements and provide accurate values.
I heard it's quite lively there, but Sean only went there once and never again.
The main problem is that it's troublesome, and every time there are a bunch of people surrounding me, which is very awkward. To exaggerate a little, even if I stretch, someone will immediately bring me iced tea, and if I slightly twist my neck, someone will suggest I get a massage or something like that.
Even if you know that he is just a flatterer, you still can't say anything to him directly.
After all, I didn't do anything wrong
At times like this, Sean would often think of those other-world novels he had read in his previous life. As long as the protagonist went to the academy once, he would always be able to win the beauty home and pretend to be cool by slapping a few dandies in the face, gaining a wave of praise, and then he would have to face the unconvinced enemies directly!
well
I’m so envious.
It would be great if I could encounter such a situation.
It would be much better to be more direct like "My ancestor was an imperial minister. If you dare to touch me, my whole family will be killed." It is much better than the current situation where everyone is smiling with a dagger in their heart and smiling on the outside but not in their eyes.
Forget hugging a beautiful woman. As long as you say you are bored at night, a bunch of young ladies from famous families will come to you and ask if you are free that night. If you want to fight, the other party will fall down before you even start.
Life.
Can it be simpler?!
So it's better not to go to the academy, but the records in the library are worth reading.
He has been busy with city planning for some time and has not had time to study the records related to the Sun Crown Organization and the Ancient Gods' believers, but Sean has never forgotten them. It can even be said that they are something he has always wanted to understand.
I haven't forgotten what the wood elf said: while I was immersed in my little world, something extremely dark and terrifying had slowly awakened.
Are the ancient gods really the ones being referred to as the "Extreme Darkness"? Will his constant use of the power of the Eye of Ghroth bring disaster? He can only look for traces of his mother, including his own, by himself.
But right now, Sean is spending more time waiting
Waiting for replies to all letters, and also waiting for what changes will happen in the course of time, and then I need to make safe plans.
After all, this city can't follow in Tacoma's footsteps.
