A book, or one specifically for businessmen to take notice?
Sean really didn't think about it for a moment. The arrival of Luke and others did make him feel more at ease. They basically didn't talk about the affairs of Oro City that night. They just asked them to rest early after dinner.
Of course, if you like, you can also go to Oro City to take a look. Now this city is considered your home.
As for Claude and his sister, Sean also arranged for them to live in the Earl's Mansion. Claude was an expert in mechanics. Most of the firearms of the Scovey family were debugged and manufactured by him. Sean originally wanted to keep him to help him make more good weapons in the future.
Although there are all kinds of unknown existences in this world, for most ordinary people living under the sun, guns are already the most dangerous weapons they can access. If they equip their own security teams with a batch of guns, it will be much easier to manage the city in the future.
When Sean is bored, he will come to the sandbox alone to take a look...
Looking at this city now engraved with his name, its every move, every street is under his sight. Oro City has no curfew. This is also one of the opinions Orlando gave himself, because as long as the day and night rotate continuously, wealth will accumulate.
This is a very scary number. Sean asked someone to calculate the income flow of all night markets in one night, and it can almost reach more than 300,000 gold coins. The rulers only collect a small part of it, such as taxes and fees. Although it seems small, maybe only a few thousand gold coins, there is room for development in the future. Moreover, this is a very objective number accumulated over one day, one month, and one year.
Now the air transport route of Oro City has been opened, and airships will continue to enter the city.
It may take less than half a year for the city to develop normally... I hope everything is normal.
At this time, Sean suddenly remembered what happened on the border.
I stood up and was about to go to the study to look for a map of the border of the Oro region, but at this time I met Luke at the door.
"Why are you here? Why don't you take Esmeralda to the night market?" Sean said this and was actually embarrassed by the old man... It was obvious that the two of them still had feelings for each other during that time in Thermian, and the other party was even willing to follow him from the place where his ancestors developed to this city, which was enough to show his sincerity.
Of course, Sean also hopes that the two of them can become a couple, so that Luke can settle down and have a family.
"Uh... maybe next time. She's a little tired today."
"You have to be more proactive with girls. They have been waiting for you for so long." He patted the other person's shoulder. There were not many people he could truly trust since he came to this world, but the young man in front of him was definitely one of them.
"Yes, yes." Luke nodded in response.
Although he is meticulous in his work, he is always a little slow in personal emotions.
"Tell me, what do you want to see me about?" From Sean's understanding of the other party, if there was nothing important, he would generally not disturb him at night.
"It's not a big deal, actually. I heard about the situation on the border from Lord Harry, and then I suddenly remembered the caravans we met on the way here. We bought some things from them and had meals together in the camp. I remember they said they had never been to the Bashalan Empire." Luke hesitated.
He is still...
"Never been here?"
"Yes, and then I heard about this from Lord Harry... I wonder if the king of Adak wants to take advantage of the fact that Tacoma is empty and actually control the old city?"
"Harry thinks the same as you, but considering the situation in Adak over the years, do they have the ability to occupy a place at this time?"
Luke shook his head.
The overall pattern of the world is like this. The continent where the Basaran Empire is located refers to the northern continent. The central one is the Zambutar region, which is quite developed in both industry and manufacturing. A little further west belongs to the Asaman region, a plateau ethnic group, and to the east is the Adak region, a country of yellow sand and oasis. Due to the natural environment, both regions are not as comfortable as Zambutar, and of course the population is even more incomparable.
Population and environment largely determine the development of a region...So many battles in history were fought within a region, and there were very few expeditions across long distances.
The principle of making friends far away and attacking nearby ones has always existed.
Therefore, both Luke and Sean felt that the other party did not dare to actually mobilize troops to go to war with them, or was just testing the waters.
If he acts tough, the other party will retreat. If he compromises, the other party will be able to take control of the entire border, so Sean also needs to make several preparations.
"I've already sent reinforcements to the border. Like the other side, we can only wander around the border area. We're not familiar with the terrain in Adak, and we can't make a long expedition there."
Luke nodded in agreement. The best way right now was to wait and see and confront each other on the border, but without taking any further action.
………………
At night, Sean lay alone in bed looking out the window.
The moonlight is still there, but my mind is still thinking about the things on the border... I really hope nothing goes wrong. My city has just been built, it's just a paper tiger. If a fight really breaks out, I'm afraid all the efforts of this period will be wasted.
Thinking about it...
Already fell asleep.
In his dream, Sean recalled the time when he fought in Tacoma City. That was probably the most subversive battle in his two lives. If it were not for the help of the Eye of Ghroth, he would have been ready to travel through time again.
There was also the foggy night with the Bafolk, and the journey with the mercenary team...especially the alchemist Alphonse's theory that "one is all and all is one."
Suddenly Sean recalled something they had said before.
'The Necronomicon!'
I suddenly opened my eyes and sat up from the bed...
Looking around, everything was still the same as in my room.
Sean rubbed his dizzy head and thought about the scene he saw in his dream again.
Yes.
Book of the Dead.
What Adak asked the merchants to pay attention to should be the Book of the Dead. The alchemist had said before that the Book of the Dead once recorded the presence of Deep Ones in Tacoma City. Although Alphonse got nothing but a pile of bounties that time, he thought carefully about the words he did not say.
Why would a Level 7 Orderer follow a mercenary team to such a dangerous area?
If there is no benefit at all...
So, the Necronomicon might be in Old Town Tacoma?
