Walking out of the castle and into the city, Martin looked at the surrounding buildings. Based on the original foundation, the overall situation has been roughly completed.
With the continuous development of the Border Alliance, if nothing unexpected happens, Yulong City will become the core of the Western Border.
In another half month, Martin will be an adult.
Martin contacted the members of the White family one after another, telling them that they didn't need to travel a long distance to come, and he could just have a simple celebration in the West.
After hearing this, Earl White directly rejected Martin's idea and emphasized the great significance of the coming-of-age ceremony.
However, Martin insisted on keeping everything simple. After some debate, Earl White finally agreed. However, the White family had to attend and preside over Martin's coming-of-age ceremony.
After learning that Earl White and Martin had reached a consensus, Lady Ellie said nothing more, but only asked how Martin got along with the granddaughter of Duke Merlin.
Martin told the truth, saying that the two of them got along quite well and both sides were quite satisfied.
Mrs. Ellie nodded and said she was satisfied. After that, the two talked for a while, and then Martin ended the call.
Wayne and Derryben also planned to come to the Western Territory, but Martin took into consideration that the Duke of the Southern Territory had not taken any action so far and the situation was unclear, so he really didn't dare to let them come all the way here.
Let them come with Earl White. Martin has already sent the dragon knight Eric to the north.
Afterwards, Martin called Jovian's number. Once the call was connected, the two chatted intimately for a while.
Then, Martin told her about his plan to keep his coming-of-age ceremony simple. After hearing this, Qiao Wei'an immediately said that she would definitely attend Martin's coming-of-age ceremony on time.
Martin thought about it, and thought that Jovian was not far from the Western Territory, and she was the granddaughter of Duke Merlin, so he nodded in agreement.
In the following days, Yulong City operated in an orderly manner like a precision machine.
Ever since the contract was signed with the four viscounts, knight armor, minerals, and potions, which are special products of the Western Territory, have been pouring into Yulong City like a torrent.
The nobles regarded this place as an important transit point, and Martin was delighted about this.
All this was thanks to the policies implemented by Martin, who implemented tax exemption measures.
However, this only applies to Yulong City, and the tax policies in other regions remain the same.
At this time, Martin no longer took taxes too seriously. After all, a large amount of resources poured into Yulong City like a tide, bringing huge wealth and a large population.
What’s amazing is that after just half a month, Yulong City has been completely transformed.
Initially, the four viscounts were reluctant to cooperate with Martin, but now they are actively providing resources and money to Martin.
The reason for this is nothing more than the successive public appearances of Martin's dragon knights and sky knights. This powerful military deterrence has caused several earls in the western territory to stop causing trouble for the border viscounts, and even some nobles in the royal territory have restrained themselves.
As the caravans traveled back and forth through their territories, they naturally boosted local economic development and increased population mobility.
At this time, candles flickered in the castle hall, and the crystal chandeliers reflected brilliant light, making the entire space magnificent.
Exquisite tapestries decorated the walls, and the marble floor was polished to a mirror-like shine, reflecting the gorgeous figures of the guests.
Tomorrow is Martin's coming-of-age ceremony, and the castle has been carefully decorated.
Martin simply extended invitations to the nobles he knew, but unexpectedly Jovian arrived at the castle early, followed by Viola.
Martin was a little confused. What kind of "magic potion" did Viola give Jovian these days that made Jovian no longer averse to her getting close to him?
Soon after, Earl White and others also arrived. Martin enthusiastically arranged everything for them one by one, and then hurried to make final preparations for the coming-of-age ceremony.
The next day, as the morning light broke, the coming-of-age ceremony proceeded in an orderly manner amid everyone's anticipation.
Under the auspices of Earl White, Martin looked solemn. As the ceremony progressed, he took the sword that symbolized family responsibility and honor, put on a gorgeous noble cloak, and completed this extraordinary coming-of-age ceremony.
When the ceremony ended, cheerful music sounded in the hall, everyone began to dance with laughter, and the whole castle was immersed in a joyful atmosphere.
As the protagonist of the coming-of-age ceremony, Martin quickly locked his eyes on Jovian in the crowd. He walked gracefully through the crowd and came in front of Jovian.
He bowed slightly, extended his hand like a gentleman, his eyes full of anticipation: "Qiao Wei'an, would you do me the honor of dancing with me?"
Qiao Wei'an's cheeks flushed slightly, and she nodded gently, placing her hand in Martin's palm. The two of them stepped onto the dance floor and danced to the music, their steps light and tacit, as if they were the only ones in the world.
Wayne and Derry were not idle either. They each found a noble girl and started chatting with them with a smile.
Wayne's words were humorous and witty, while Derry was a little shy but sincere. After a while, they made the two noble girls cover their mouths and laugh.
Martin occasionally glanced at them, his heart filled with surprise. He didn't expect that the usually dull Derry had also become smart. He couldn't help but feel happy for his fourth brother.
On this joyful night, everyone in the castle enjoyed this wonderful moment to the fullest. The sounds of music and laughter intertwined together, adding an unforgettable touch to Martin's coming-of-age ceremony.
After a whole night of fun, everyone had a great time, and the relationship between Martin and Jovian became closer and more familiar.
During this time, Viola would come to their side from time to time. Finally, with Jovian's approval, Martin added Viola's communication method.
As the sky turned pale, the nobles who came to attend Martin's coming-of-age ceremony began to disperse one after another and went to rest in the guest rooms prepared by Martin for them.
Of course, there were also some nobles who were attracted to each other and went straight to the room to do some unspoken things.
Martin was already accustomed to this. After all, it was not uncommon for some people in the aristocratic circle to have decadent private lives.
The rather annoying supervisor kept hanging around Jovian, so Martin and Jovian could only hold hands. However, even so, the relationship between the two was still steadily warming up.
