Prince Ersha's Territory - Peter St.
…
Since the Kingdom of Avisu is located in the north, it is only spring in the kingdom now.
In the Holy Territory of Peter, many residents working in the fields can be seen along the route of the carriage. When they see the carriage with the prince's flag, they will bow slightly to greet them.
Many pedestrians along the way also had smiles on their faces, which shows that the overall atmosphere was still very good.
"I've heard that Prince Ersha is very good to his subjects. Both the people respect him and their mental outlook are very good." Teacher Mavis was also a little surprised.
The noble territories really depend on the nobles' policies.
In the Kingdom of Avisu, any noble with a fiefdom has a certain degree of autonomy, and the degree of autonomy is generally linked to the rank of the nobility.
For example, Prince Ersha has the legislative and military power of the territory.
The only restrictions are that the legislative power must not violate the basic moral code of Avisu, and the number of troops supported by the military power must not exceed 50% of the kingdom's army at any time.
Basically, he doesn't do anything big, and Ersha can do whatever he wants in the territory.
"That's because grandpa has always been kind to the people, and our family doesn't like luxury, so many benefits will be given priority to the people. Sometimes, when grandpa is short of money, he will shamelessly go to the uncle, that is, His Majesty the King, to ask for money. It's not the first time." Su Lian answered simply.
"Because Prince Ersha is the youngest, his brothers dote on him more?" Nalin asked curiously.
"Almost, because when my uncle ascended the throne, my grandfather was only seven years old. Power struggles and the like had basically nothing to do with him anymore." Su Lian.
"I see." Nalin.
The previous king of Avisu abdicated voluntarily, but Ersha was only seven years old at that time, which was enough to prove that the previous king was still strong and healthy.
"So when Grandpa proposed to His Majesty the King that he would pay for the construction of new roads for the entire kingdom and enjoy the right to operate the new roads, he was quickly approved."
"Because in the power network, grandpa is the weakest among the princes, so there is no need to worry that we will cause trouble. The worst that can happen is that we will be richer in the end. Anyway, our territory is not that big."
"But judging from the current results, my great-uncle should have realized that things are not that simple."
Su Lian said this, looking at the scenery outside the carriage window and smiled.
…
At this time, there were no farmlands around their road, and they could even see sentry posts along the way.
Because they did not return to the manor directly, but came to the magic car factory first. At the same time, Ersha was also here today, so there was no problem for them to come directly.
Mavisday frowned slightly, she had vaguely realized something.
"Teacher Mavis, I know you come from a family of potion makers, but you studied mechanics because you really like knight mechas. After returning from studying abroad in the Goblin Tribe, you taught at Polestar Academy and became an honorary professor at the Knight Research Institute."
"So I want to ask, if there are additional large machines other than those used to make knights, would you be interested in learning about them?"
"Or, personally participate in the manufacturing?"
Su Lian asked, his tone was obviously different from the usual casual chat, and the atmosphere also changed subtly.
At this time, both Mavis and Nalin had realized it.
After Su Lian took over the topic, he continued to say so much smoothly. It was not just a simple chat, but a prelude to the inquiry at this moment.
Mavis Halifax.
This beautiful blonde professor was originally one of the targets that Su Lian wanted to win over. After all, at such a young age, she possessed the strength of a seventh-rank great magician and was a dual professor of potions and mechanics. She also loved knight mechas very much. Naturally, she was the best target.
However, she is actually ranked second in Su Lian's target priority because her potion family is located in the territory of another prince.
If you want to win someone over, you are actually poaching them!
"If something happens, can I pretend I didn't see it?" Mavis asked.
"What can you see? Teacher Mavis, you are just here to visit the manufacturing of the magic car, right?" Su Lian also understood what Mavis meant.
"Then let's take a look at the new magic car." Mavis agreed.
What is the new magic car?
…
The gate to the magic car construction site opened.
The Magic Car Factory, built on the mountain, was expanded from the original carriage factory four years ago. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides with lush forests. There are also several mountains in the back. After crossing the last mountain about a thousand meters high, there is a nice bay connected to the sea.
The bay area separated by mountains is the only completely undeveloped part of the coastline in Peter's Holy Territory.
Su Lian got off the carriage first.
Space system, elementary magic - short-range replacement.
As a magic array with complex patterns slowly passed from head to toe, Su Lian's original Pole Star Academy uniform turned back into the scientific research attire with the exclusive wearer's logo stored in the magic ring.
"Wow, can the basic space magic be used like this? Aren't you afraid that the clothes will get stuck in your body when you change them?" Nalin was a little surprised.
But I have to say that this kind of space-changing magic is pretty cool.
"Prioritize the magic to cover the skin, define the magic coverage area, and completely avoid it when defining the space magic." Su Lian said simply.
This was the inspiration he found when he was learning programming. It has to be said that these complex things can be interconnected in some ways.
"Is this okay? I'll try it in the carriage." Nalin got back into the carriage with great interest.
"You're even studying space?" Mavis was a little surprised.
After releasing the wind-type sound-proofing magic in Tuttle's tent, Mavis was naturally not surprised that Su Lian could use magic.
"I've only learned up to the intermediate level. This kind of magic is really too difficult." Su Lian.
Soon, Nalin also changed into a Gothic dress, which was very cute.
"Let's go, I'll show you all around." Su Lian.
The two beauties nodded.
…
With Su Lian and Uncle Ryan around, even if two strangers came in, they would naturally be allowed to watch all the way.
Even the R&D workshop for the latest magic car and the magic props R&D workshop for various control instruments on the front of the magic car were able to be visited without any surprise.
Mavis was very excited about this, and couldn't help but ask someone about the principle wherever she went.
Nalin was not very interested in this, but was curious about how many people were secretly watching them.
Those were the surveillance personnel Ersha had arranged between the researchers and the workers. They were at least high-level magicians, and if anyone came here, they would be spotted immediately. Even if Su Lian brought people here, they would continue to watch him, which was also a kind of secret protection for Su Lian.
The Magic Car Factory is large, but has many overlapping areas.
So it only took about an hour to show Mavis around, and now they were resting in the lounge.
Mavis was still looking at a new booklet about the design ideas for a new type of magic car.
"It seems like there are very few people from the kingdom." Nalin finally said it. She had been observing secretly.
"Grandpa generously gave most of the workers and R&D personnel related to the Magic Car to His Majesty the King, and asked him to arrange a new Magic Car factory and train new personnel. Therefore, there are naturally no outsiders in this relatively remote initial manufacturing plant." Su Lian said directly.
"You guys really did a great job," Mavis added.
"Of course. After all, our magic car manufacturing plant is quite large and it is convenient to manage since it has all our own talents." Su Lian said with a smile.
A little bit? Maybe not just a little bit.
