Chapter 669 The Fourth Princess's Field Research
Since that night, the officials and maids in the lord's mansion noticed that the head maid's attitude towards the lord's adjutant had changed slightly.
She stopped telling Fiona about his secrets and started paying close attention to what Avis was doing and trying to figure out why he was doing so.
Although it seemed that she had benefited from Boley's words, in Anne's eyes, Levin Boley's state of being completely trusted by Fiona was very dangerous.
Deputy Boli has too much power. If he wants, he can easily make many important arrangements without Fiona knowing.
If this goes on for a long time, what if the other party really rebels, deploys some secret forces in the territory, and then attacks the eldest lady with internal and external cooperation? At that time, everything will be irreversible.
Even if Fiona didn't care, she didn't dare let her guard down completely.
Avis was well aware of Anne's intentional or unintentional surveillance, but he didn't mind at all.
He even went out of his way to make some of his actions more obvious so that Annie wouldn't miss them.
As Fiona's personal maid, Anne is indeed loyal enough, but she is not very smart, which is not a good thing.
Although on the surface it was Annie who was monitoring her, Avis was actually letting her learn more details about the management of the territory imperceptibly by letting her monitor him.
In this way, if he leaves for some reason one day in the future, Anne can immediately take over this position.
It would be much more efficient to let Annie monitor him than to force her to learn from him. After all, she needs to actively think and analyze the meaning of his various actions. The subjective initiative is completely different. . ….….When Anvis was preparing for the meeting with the fourth princess, the fourth princess Osvia, whom he was waiting for, had already concealed her appearance and secretly arrived at Silver Gull City with her subordinates.
Although the letter said that she would come to Star Territory to meet Fiona in seven days, in fact, she planned to take a look in advance from the perspective of an ordinary traveler to see what the real situation of Star Territory, which was reported to have a unique way of governance, was like.
After entering the city, what the Fourth Princess and her entourage saw was a completely different landscape from other cities in the Gloria Empire.
It was a distinctly different feeling. If other cities were like old-fashioned and serious middle-aged people, then the expanded Silver Gull City was a vigorous young man, full of extraordinary energy.
The interior of the city is unusually clean, and the spacious white stone streets have obvious signs of being reinforced with magic. Some constructed golems are cleaning the streets to keep the city clean at all times.
Various types of vehicles flow continuously in the center of the road, providing transportation services to those in need. Slower horse-drawn carriages are located on the side carriage roads, with clear levels.
On both sides of the road, people of different appearances and races walked on the sidewalks.
Imperials, High Cliff People, Feathered People, Orcs, Elves, Dwarves... Many rare races can be seen here, and passers-by seem to have become accustomed to it.
“It’s amazing, I remember this city, it wasn’t like this at all before this legendary Miss Fiona took over.
Perhaps she was influenced and inspired by the Federation while being captured? If so, she should have a lot in common with those reformists. "
Muttering to herself, the Fourth Princess looked at the passers-by.
On their faces, she saw something rare, something called hope.
"It's really interesting. I'm looking forward to the meeting in seven days. Maybe... I can get some unexpected surprises?"
Carefully observing the operation of the city, the Fourth Princess also tried to take a constructed vehicle and found that the price was not high, and could even be said to be surprisingly low.
The cheapest large passenger vehicles only cost one or two copper coins per ride. Even if they only traveled on a specific circular track and stopped at fixed locations, it could not conceal their huge advantages.
After all, the major cities in the Yar continent are mostly populated by ordinary people and apprentice-level professionals. They need to get up early every morning and go to work in various places in the city.
These vehicles can save them a lot of time and energy on the road, allowing them to arrive at their jobs with a more positive attitude and contribute their own light and heat.
Most importantly, the existence of multiple constructed train lines connected Silver Gull City with several nearby cities. One could even see tracks being built outside the city, which were expected to connect with other large cities in the province of Karlas.
This has greatly increased the mobility between several cities. Even an ordinary person can be sent to Black Rock City to handle work in the morning and return to Silver Gull City for lunch at noon.
Osvia also noticed a detail: the number of foreigners here was obviously larger than in most other cities of the same size in the empire, and they all behaved relatively normally.
This in itself is not normal.
Making a note of this, the Fourth Princess planned to ask Fiona about this matter directly afterwards.
In the following days, the princess and her group simply stayed in Silver Gull City. During this time, she also asked some residents of the city indirectly about the changes in the city.
Some of them were the original inhabitants, and they told the princess that all the changes were due to the appointment of Lord Fiona. Unlike the previous lords who did nothing, she truly brought stability and development to the city.
The city has been expanded with a large number of engineering construct golems, and a large number of new positions and new professions are open to everyone. Some resources that were previously difficult to find now have more stable purchasing channels.
Others are people who migrated here from other places due to war and other reasons. According to their descriptions, this city gave them hope for survival.
And all the magical constructs in this city have a special symbol: a dove with its wings spread.
Osvia recognized this emblem; it was the trademark of the assembly factory under the command of Anvis Olivendi, the fourth son of Duke Karlas.
After all, it was his sister's territory. Avis, who was far away in Pamir Academy, heard that Fiona's territory needed some constructions, so he waved his hand and gave a 50% discount on all orders from Star Territory.
At present, Anvis's assembly factory has been expanded and upgraded many times, and its scale is among the top ten in the entire Gloria Empire. In addition, some of its special assembly processes are as advanced as those of the top assembly factories in the Federation.
In the past few days, as the Fourth Princess continued her investigation, she became more and more looking forward to the upcoming meeting.
Finally, the meeting date agreed upon by the Fourth Princess and Fiona officially arrived.
