The current sources of money for the city of Albis are twofold. The first is from selling land, and the second is from investments from various large nobles.

Dole didn't keep much for himself, as he invested it all in construction.

To build a city from scratch, force alone is not enough. Dole has deeply understood this truth in recent times. Therefore, he did not refuse the investment from the Marcia family and the Langte family. He allocated a piece of land to them and promised them exclusive monopoly rights in the winemaking industry and other treaties.

Of course, these two companies also paid a lot to get this.

The City Lord's Palace is currently headed by someone sent by Watsonburg, and Dole is in charge of supervision. At the same time, he is recruiting various administrative officials for land, planning, commerce, trade, etc. There are currently more than 200 people working in the City Lord's Palace.

The City Lord's Mansion used witchcraft to build a main building in just one day.

The planning and design were done in the morning, and then condensed using witchcraft in the afternoon.

Of course, this is still a simple and temporary house, and it will have to wait for the transport team that mined stones from the Albis Mountains to return and rebuild it.

The new city is a business opportunity, but it is also a big spender. Of course, if you invest in it, the real reward is to be able to reap the rewards.

At this time, Dolai was signing a contract with the people from the Glory Wizard Alliance to give them the mining rights of several magic crystal mines on the mountain.

The Albis Mountains are very large, so it is normal for them to have magic crystal mines. This thing should be controlled by the empire.

As the president, he could have mined on his own, but he had no one under him, so he had to let the association take on this task first. Anyway, they were happy to mine.

They can keep one third of the mined magic crystals as taxes to be handed over to the superior Glory Wizard Alliance, and two thirds can be retained, which is also one of the economic sources of the city of Albis.

There are other mining and other things that need his cooperation next. In short, he is very busy now and is almost too busy to rest.

Developing the county town is something every force is willing to do because there are huge profits to be made, but now it is still in the early stages and the investment is not enough, let alone the return.

In the mountains.

On the tenth floor of the Tower of Babel, Ashe was surrounded by countless frosts, and she seemed to be in a world of ice and snow.

Fortunately, the Tower of Babel has the function of space barrier, otherwise the entire wizard tower would be in a world of ice and snow.

She slowly closed her eyes, her eyes full of determination. She planned not to come out until she reached level six during this retreat.

She had rule fragments, the Heart of Mysterious Frost, white sand ice and other auxiliary materials in her hands. If this couldn't help her reach level six as soon as possible, she might as well die.

Dole reached level six at the age of twenty-seven, and she worked hard to reach level six before she was thirty-five.

Ashley is actually two years older than Dolai. She is now twenty-nine years old and she tries hard to cheer herself up.

In terms of bloodline, Ashe's bloodline is beyond description and is extremely pure. Both her inner and outer strength are sufficient. Now she just needs to practice with peace of mind.

She looked into the distance, into the mountains, saw the busy figure of Dolai, and slowly closed her eyes.

The surroundings were extremely cold, and the ice and snow were slowly spinning and dancing, gradually falling into silence.

Dolai was surveying in the mountains. At this moment, he took a look at the Tower of Babel in the mountains, and his eyes gradually became stern.

Ashe entered a state of training and sprinted towards level 6, which was also extremely good for her future development.

Although the clone is already level six, his meditation method is only level five. Dolai wondered whether he should also give some reinforcements to the Skeleton Demon.

In the past, my mental strength was not strong enough, but now it is strong enough and can be improved.

However, there have been too many things happening recently, and his own strength is not enough, so he can only resort to hiring people to do other things. Everything has to be reported to him, and he even has a clone who built a temporary city lord's mansion.

A simple road was built from the city, leading directly to the mountains, making it convenient for transporting stones and ores.

When she thought about this, should she call her subordinates together, separate Krista, let them run the business on their own, and just leave Diano there to watch?

It's not enough to do it alone. If it really doesn't work, you have to buy some special slaves.

Thinking of this, he thought of Zonglu Garden, which seemed to be full of management talents from various countries. Although their management was not very good, they were much better than himself.

…

Wassenburg.

At the gate of Zonglu Garden, Gideon and Tava, one wearing a very gorgeous wizard robe and the other wearing gorgeous warrior light armor, stood at the gate of Zonglu Garden.

Gideon had a complicated expression. He was bought from here by the wizard Dolai.

I was still a kid back then, and now four years have passed. I have become a grown man, and my height is almost as high as Uncle Tawa next to me.

Following the flow of people, they slowly walked into Zonglu Garden. The people around them kept a suitable distance between them.

Wizards, no matter what their identity, are respected and feared wherever they go.

As soon as he entered the Zonglu Garden, Gideon saw the manager, Rupert, who was leaning against the wall, looking around bored.

When Gideon saw Rupert, he felt a little self-deprecating. Back then, it was this guy who sold himself out, but now the situation has changed and he came to buy someone himself.

There's no need to look for anyone else. This guy is a senior executive, so you can't go wrong by looking for him.

So he took a step forward and walked towards Rupert.

Rupert is a little older and seems a little more bored. Here, there are nobles coming and going all day long. Commoners can actually afford to work hard, but they can only buy the cheapest goods and cannot even enter the main hall.

Most of the people here are nobles or businessmen, basically people of status.

In the past, he would go up to see if the noble needed anything and maintain relations with them, but now that he has become the deputy director, he no longer needs to do that and can just stop by when he has nothing to do.

Just then, he felt someone walking towards him. He turned around and took a look, and was stunned.

Gideon, the little prince of that small country, is now Dole's second-in-command. He blinked his eyes. What is this guy doing here? He is looking for trouble with him.

He was still a little worried because Dolai's current status was not someone he could afford to offend.

He immediately stood up straight and waited quietly.

Gideon acted like an ordinary person, and before he came over, a cheerful voice came over.

"Lord Rupert, everyone else is fine."

Rupert relaxed; this guy meant no harm.

He smiled, came forward and said, "What's the matter? It's very comfortable inside Watsonburg. You should know that well. So, what are you doing here?" He almost said that he was revisiting an old place, but fortunately he kept his mouth shut.

Gideon smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. Help my master find a few capable housekeepers and secretaries. It's best if they are clear-headed. There is no age limit, as long as they are capable."

Rupert immediately straightened up. The city of Albis was in a commotion and he didn't know how many people wanted to go there. It seemed that Dole didn't have enough people.
