After a brief moment of disorientation upon entering the city, Ron gradually calmed down and began walking through the new urban area.
Every step brings a new surprise. ＜(~︶~)＞
Compared to the phantom of the magical city of Sandy in the ruins, Sandy City today seems even more prosperous than the ruins were back then.
Ron pondered that the old Magic City must have had some military stronghold concepts.
Different places and different eras will inevitably lead to different developments.
Living in the present, surpassing those who came before. ヽ(o`皿′o)? Das!
With these thoughts in mind, Ron walked through his own city.
Haha... No matter how good it is, it's still ours.
As Ron walked, he entered the busiest part of the city.
"So many people!"
The little tower sprite even saw little fairies.
Spirit Master!
Some students have formed contracts with the little sprites in the Magic Flower Sea Scenic Area.
Because Ron has changed somewhat, those who are not originally from this city can hardly recognize the lord.
Sandy City has been completely developed into a tourist destination, and there are just too many out-of-towners.
Look at that magical girl student's hurried steps, is she rushing back to school?
Her ability to become an elf user suggests she possesses considerable magical talent, and she could very well become another outstanding individual in the territory in the future.
Yes, that's good.
Suddenly, Ron saw some of his elven friends walking through the city.
The members of the elven delegation are finally not staying at home so much anymore. They also travel to the colorful world of Sandy City. And they are not individual elves going out on adventures, but elves traveling together, including the old and the young.
Ron's head steward is a fox-woman subspecies. There are also various other subspecies living in Sandy City. Haha, they're all pretty good. The rabbit race is out in business earning magic crystals.
Suddenly, someone noticed Lord Ron.
Then, a local resident selling folk magic potions looked at it again and again, saying, "Leader...leader..."
Ron immediately transmitted his voice: "No need to shout, my people!"
Sure enough, the elderly man stopped making a fuss.
Look at this person, in the shop on the second floor.
Without the magic crystal carriage, Ron didn't want to attract attention by briefly taking to the air; otherwise, he would have liked to savor the taste of folk magic potion.
Since its appearance, many people have been envious of Sandy Territory's specialty products and various new folk brewing methods.
Adding the magic potion makes it not only taste better but also beneficial for elemental training.
Sandy City now sells everything imaginable.
Multiple storefronts are exposed on both the upper and lower floors.
Fabrics, wine, storybooks, paintings, food... a dazzling array of goods. In addition, as a famous tourist destination in mainland China, specialties from all over the country eventually end up in Sandy City.
Lord Ron himself has good relations with various merchant guilds, and many merchants of all sizes have settled in Sandy City.
Ron then walked to the Magic Tool Street.
Although the place wasn't as bustling, the unique magical items from various regions still attracted Ron's attention.
On this street, there weren't many people from the city, so Ron strolled around discreetly.
Ron looked quite young, and from a distance, he resembled a nobleman from the mainland who had come to study.
With the establishment of the Magic and Martial Arts University, it's easy to imagine how many noble children would come, as well as many talented commoners from afar who had the means to attend.
Because Sandy City is too far from the Monster Forest, it has fewer Ironblood mercenaries, adventurers, and so on.
After the Magic Tool District, we arrived at the Tourist Area, where there is another Phantom Stone that Ron recorded back then.
There are more people from other places here.
Ron walked and walked until he arrived at the figurine exhibition hall again.
Look, haha, I'm lucky to have caught another figure convention.
Paintings, stories, and other art forms are gaining increasing popularity, and the frequency of figure conventions has increased. This is mainly because there are so many excellent works, and sculptors and artists all want to earn more magic crystals.
Wait, what did Ron see?
"Role-playing has also appeared in my city."
They weren't just pretending to be elves; real elf girls had been invited.
After living in human territory, the members of the elven delegation also learned the use of magic crystals. They realized that they could just stand around here and that magic crystals were really easy to earn.
The elves are all naturally beautiful.
The shop mainly sells small figurines, and the elf girl stands to the side promoting them.
And there's even someone dressed as an angel!
Indeed, there are many angels or demons in storybooks and picture books. However, only a young priestess can play the role of an angel.
In this way, figurine makers can avoid some of the risk of blasphemy.
What's there to be afraid of? Knowing his two superiors as he does, Ron figured even if someone impersonated the water god, nothing would happen. But he thought about it and decided to let it go, just in case his superiors caused trouble for him later.
Various types of role-playing.
There were people dressed as human princesses, people dressed as sword-wielding warriors, and people dressed in all sorts of different styles of clothing.
The lich mentioned in the storybook and picture book has been dressed up by people, but the necromancer is not so easy to dress up as because of the historical undead calamity. However, the lich is really well dressed up...
At the scene, tourists gathered in a group, having finally come all this way, they decided to shop till they dropped...
There are still many nobles and wealthy people in various parts of mainland China.
Everything about Sandy Territory is so interesting, it was definitely the right choice to come.
Ron watched with a satisfied smile. ～(~▽~～)(～~▽~)～
In Ron's original plan, apart from the first figure convention, any subsequent conventions would require the payment of certain taxes.
You can earn magic crystals just by sitting down.
With more people coming in, how can we not make money?
Having territory is good.
Ron then wandered around to other places, eventually arriving at the old consulate building.
With the new consulate building now in the Magic Flower Sea Scenic Area, this place has become a backup location, and sometimes, Head Steward Nika will also stay here briefly.
Before he even arrived, stewards who had received the news came to greet Ron. Ron recalled the several probing auras he had encountered when he first arrived in Sandy City.
These guys were smart enough to give Ron some time to wander around. The stewards, of course, knew their lord's temperament and dared not spoil the mood of their newly returned lord.
This time, Ron even saw the elf steward.
Miss Tracy from the scenic area planning department is also the leader of the Sandy Elf Mission. Over the years, the elven stewards have adapted to the life of stewards among humans.
It's just planning tourist attractions anyway; the elven horticulture skills are just a natural fit for them!
Leo, the manager of the Magic Plant Garden, and the manager of the Magic Crystal Mine have also arrived...
The managers who could arrive in a short time all arrived.
Ron looked left and right.
Nika has not arrived yet.
The astute manager Leo saw through Ron's thoughts and stepped forward, saying, "Lady Nika is still negotiating with the Magic Crystal Merchant Guild. She said she would come as soon as possible."
Ron nodded, indicating that he understood.
“Go in!” Ron said, leading the way into the old consulate building.
The highest-ranking lords of that time.
Just like before, Ron sat in the lord's seat again. This position was high up, and below him were a group of various stewards, still more men than women, with the addition of elven stewards, so it wasn't just Nika as the only female steward anymore.
On the other hand, Ron looked down at the view of Sandy City.
The location of the consulate building was not significantly affected, indicating that Nika's planned new urban area is located on the other side.
Nika also did a good job with the details.
Some parts of the old town have historical significance and can be considered tourist attractions.
Ron doesn't recall giving any details about the later city planning, but now it seems the planning was reasonable and well-founded.
Ron turned around and looked coldly at the group of stewards.
The lord's authority, well! I guess it's good to just put on a show.
"Tell me, what major changes have occurred in the territory recently? Focus on the key points."
"..."
"..."
The stewards spoke one by one, but the changes they saw were insignificant to Ron, and Ron didn't bother to pay them any mind.
Let's just listen and wait for Nika and Steward Wright to arrive.
Indeed, Wright was not there either.
The two managers are really busy! Nika is in charge, while Wright is currently mainly responsible for the publication and management of storybook illustration collections.
After some time, and after listening to the reports from the other managers for a long time, Nika and Wright arrived together.
I saw Nika and Wright again.
Ron immediately switched to praise mode.
"My two chief stewards, you have both done a great job, and I am very pleased. Now that you are here, please summarize the important matters for me, and remember to keep it simple..."
"..."
As they were talking, Ron wanted to discuss further development of the territory, and Vivian, just like in the old days, quietly walked behind Ron.
Vivian's thoughts: Young Master, you're back! That's wonderful... Three years have passed, but Young Master... is still the same Young Master... (?ˉ?ˉ?)
Ron smiled and gestured to the maid.
They're no longer just called little maids; the current magical girl maids have a bit of an older sister vibe, but they're still more girlish.
After gesturing for the maids behind him to return to their places, Ron continued, "Development of Sandy Territory, moving to the next phase!"
