Chapter 636 Lion Port
Liszt stood next to the huge window of the office, looking at the hot scene outside.
Many buildings are under construction outside. Some places are still laying foundations, some have started to build walls, and some are being decorated and painted.
The place where he is now is located on a small peninsula extending into the sea from the southern territory of the Horn of the Bay League, and it is not far from Nisburg, the capital of the Horn of the Bay League. It only takes half a day to ride a fast horse. You can reach Niceburg in just a few minutes.
Liszt quickly began to fulfill his duties after receiving the appointment from Paul Graeman, Earl of Arda.
In his official capacity, he found Marcus, the Speaker of the Corner Bay Alliance Council, and Joe Foster, who had an important influence in the Council, and made a request to purchase a small piece of land, which would serve as a settlement for Northwest Bay merchants. Used for supplying and drying goods.
Because the Horned Bay Alliance is busy with wars, which has a great impact on commerce, and merchants from other countries are more or less affected here, Earl Grayman sent someone to make this request, which did not make the council very happy. surprise.
But they still refused.
The Corner Bay Alliance is quite wealthy. Even though it has been at war with the Corner Bay Church for a year, its current financial resources have not been exhausted, so the council is not short of money.
But under the current situation, there is one thing that the Corner Bay Alliance can never have too much of - ordnance.
Liszt grasped this pain point, and after repeated negotiations, he promised to the Council on behalf of Earl Grayman a supply of arms worth approximately half a million Aldo silver shields, and finally obtained this small corner called Lion's Corner, occupying The land is about 50 acres.
One thing is not perfect. This small piece of land is borrowed and has a term of only thirty years.
After a series of surveying and mapping—the mercenaries came to Horn Bay with some surveying and mapping personnel—the agreement was sent to Count Paul Grayman who was still in the royal capital Jingyao.
The earl responded quickly. He agreed and commended Liszt - which surprised Liszt. He thought he had messed up - and urged him to sign with the Horn League as soon as possible. Formal Lend-Lease Treaty.
The matter was quickly settled, and this humble Lion's Point became a small overseas territory of the Graiman family, of course within thirty years.
Friedrich List, Dennis McPhed, and Jeremy Erwin jointly became the managers of this small territory.
Liszt is responsible for the exchanges with the Cape Bay countries, McPhee is responsible for the construction of Lion's Corner, and Erwin manages the mercenaries stationed here.
After several discussions, the three decided to build Lion Point into a small town with comprehensive functions.
Although the area is not large, they have planned the dock area, administrative area, trade area, residential area, warehouse area and military area in detail, and every inch of land must be used rationally.
Lion Point was also renamed Lion Port, and it soon became a large construction site, and buildings began to be built one after another.
The city hall and the army barracks were the first to be completed. The mercenaries who returned from the northwest bay moved into the barracks and took on the security and defense tasks here under the command of McPheed.
After the news of Northwest Bay building a port at Lion's Point spread, a large number of Northwest Bay businessmen who made a living in Point Bay heard about it and bought properties here.
They knew that Earl Grayman had stationed a mercenary team here, and the merchants in the Northwest Gulf had great confidence in the power of the Grayman family, and of course they preferred to live under the wings of the Earl. Down.
The port that is beginning to take shape also begins to have merchant ships docking.
In short, this small piece of land, which did not even have a fishing village before, began to become increasingly prosperous.
Liszt just made a long trip - to the Principality of Eton to learn about the latest situation there. The Principality of Eton not long ago announced that it recognized the legal status of spellcasters, causing a sensation throughout the Bay. Therefore, in a sense, it has the status of a diplomatic envoy. Liszt had to go there personally to investigate.
This is the second day since he came back. Lion Port has changed a lot compared to when he left for Eton. Looking at the whole small place that is changing day by day, he feels full of accomplishment.
Tuk tuk tuk! There was a knock on the office door. "Please come in."
The door opened, and a staff member from the city hall came in and said respectfully, "Lord Lister, there is a lady named Assitini who wants to Want to visit you”
"Assitini?"
The image of a chestnut-haired beauty appeared in his mind.
“What color is her hair?”
“It’s maroon, my lord.”
As expected, it was Sylvia, and Liszt felt a little excited. , and was surprised at why she came back. Shouldn't Jiaowan be the place she was afraid to avoid?
"Thank you for your hard work, please invite her in."
"Yes, sir."
After waiting for a few minutes, there was a soft sound of footsteps outside the door. Before Sevia left the Horn Bay, she lived with Liszt for a period of time, so Liszt was familiar with her footsteps. Of course, the so-called living together is just living in the same house, and there is nothing wrong between the two of them.
The office door opened again, and a familiar face that he had not seen for a long time appeared in front of Liszt again.
Sevia is plumper than before, her skin is smoother, and her hair is more lustrous. All the changes make her look more beautiful and charming.
It seems that she is living a good life in the Northwest Bay. Without the pressure of the church, she is more relaxed mentally and in life. It is natural for her to become beautiful.
Sevia walked in and closed the door gently.
"Perhaps..." Looking at the dazed guy opposite, the witch smiled and said, "Should I call you Lord Liszt now?"
Liszt reacted, He smiled and said: "No matter what happens to my position, we are still friends. Please sit down!"
After he motioned for Sevia to sit down, he poured her a glass of water himself.
"How is life in the Northwest Bay?" although they both wrote every month.
"It's still the same. Sometimes it's leisurely, sometimes it's busy, but the most important thing is safety."
"Hahaha, I just said you and your companions went to the right place. Since you are so satisfied, why do you want to come back? "
There was a hint of resentment in Sevia's eyes, "Can't I come and see you?"
"Oh, of course, you are welcome to come here anytime, Sylvia. But I guess you are not just here for this purpose, right?"
"Okay!" Sylvia sighed helplessly, "I heard that the Etonians no longer persecute spellcasters. Is this true?"
Liszt nodded, "It's true ."
"I want to go to Eton."
