Chapter 348 Urbanization
As long as there is no real succession to the throne, many things will not be justified. The Kingdom of Lordaeron always has a feeling of restraint when dealing with various matters.
Because of this, the ministers, including the regent Fording, demanded that the King City of Lordaeron be repaired as soon as possible, even if only the main road, some blocks, and the palace could be repaired. bit ceremony.
Otherwise, today's Jialia lacks authority in issuing orders, and cannot issue any really useful policies.
"So, the King City of Lordaeron is almost repaired?"
"Thanks to Digger's help some time ago."
During David's absence, Fording lent several Diggers to the Kingdom of Lordaeron. It was with the help of Diggers that the repair speed of the King City of Lordaeron was accelerated, and now it has begun to continue. The preparations for the ceremony are underway.
"By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet! Grand Duke of Glamorgan!"
When I came here last time, Fording heard that David became the Grand Duke, which means that Winter City has become a principality. David has nothing to do with a real king except that he has not become a king in name. difference.
“One step closer to reaching our goal.”
"Thanks."
David smiled and accepted Fording's congratulations. It's such a time, and there is no need to pretend to be a loyal minister of Tilan. He has long stopped hiding his true thoughts.
Since he began to order and issue announcements, announcing that the Duchy of Winter will not use the enfeoffment system, many people have guessed the true thoughts of the Duke of Glamorgan.
Although the Duchy of Winter does not engage in enfeoffment and cannot become a lord if he is loyal to the duke, it does not mean that he cannot become a nobleman.
Judging from the previously announced knight treatment, the Duke will not treat his meritorious ministers badly.
So David's men are still full of motivation. They are working hard to make progress, and they are looking forward to the day when the Duchy of Winter becomes the Kingdom of Winter.
"It's a pity that Mark hasn't come back yet."
"It should be soon! I can return to Winter City at the latest in winter."
The first few people who came to Cold Winter City were Fording, Laura, and Mark. They spent the longest time together, and their relationship was naturally the closest.
But with Fording returning to the Kingdom of Lordaeron; Mark boarding the 'flight' back to Earth, only Laura often stays in Winter City.
"Sometimes I often think that if I can spend the rest of my life in Winter City, it should be a very good choice."
"Ha!" David didn't wait for Fording to say more, and directly shattered the dream of this legendary paladin: "Don't dream, if you stay in Winter City, you will definitely become the number one paladin in Winter , commanded countless paladins to fight north and south, and became the founding father of the empire."
"..." Fording was speechless. Although what David said was the truth, is it really good to say it so bluntly? He used to think that if David wanted to become a king, he needed to sharpen his face. Now he realized that David's face didn't need to be tempered at all. He didn't show it before because his strength didn't allow it.
"Besides, it's impossible for you to be idle."
"That's true!"
Fording had the opportunity to say goodbye to everything and live in seclusion as an ordinary old man.
But when he knew that his world was about to face great danger, he stood up without hesitation!
Whether it is because of David's influence or Fording in the original world line, he is not the kind of character who ignores the raging evil and quietly finds a secret place to spend the rest of his life.
"Also, Raynor and Sally have been here for a long time, and it's time to return to the Kingdom of Lordaeron."
Renault Mograine and Sally Whitemane have developed their knowledge here in Winter City. The most important thing is that the relationship between the two is very stable now without Alexandros Mograine. , and there was no outbreak of resentment, let alone being drawn out by the fearful demon king to express his dissatisfaction with old Mograine, and to play a classic drama of fatherly kindness and filial piety.
Because there is no high pressure from his old father, Renault Mograine has demonstrated his ability very well, which can be regarded as indirectly proving his ability to his father.
In addition, the old Mograine hadn't seen Renault for a long time, and he missed his eldest son very much. He suggested to Fording more than once to let his son come back to help.
David is not clear about the specific content of the discussion between the two paladins.
In short, Fording hopes that after Calia Menethil succeeds to the throne as Queen of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, Raynor and Sally will return to the Kingdom of Lordaeron to play.
"Who is the Kingdom of Lordaeron planning to send to take over the post of diplomat?"
These two official identities in Winter City are the diplomats of the Kingdom of Lordaeron stationed in Winter City, paladins and instructors of the Holy Light, which belong to the part-time jobs of the two in their spare time.
"Tylan?"
"No, Tyran also wants to go back."
As for Renault Mograine's diplomat status, it is his younger brother Darian Mograine.
"Why are they all from the Mograine family? Is there no one in the Kingdom of Lordaeron?"
"To be honest, there are indeed not many talents."
The undead Scourge and the Scourge horrified the Kingdom of Lordaeron, not just the loss of life, the displacement of the people, the pollution of the land, and the death of a large number of soldiers.
Also includes the death of a whole bunch of lord nobles, which is devastating for a feudal kingdom!
There is no one to manage such a huge place, and Calia Menethil is the only ones who can be used by her side, and the outstanding talents of the younger generation are Mograine's son, his own son, and Abidi. A girl from the Si family.
Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that these young people have received key training—sending to Winter City to learn various knowledge is the way of key training, and ordinary people are not qualified to be sent here.
However, not all forces regard Winter City as an excellent destination for studying abroad. The mage city Dalaran has another idea.
Although they knew a lot about Winter City from Jaina, they also had some understanding of this city located in another world.
But the mages don’t think that Winter City is special. Compared with them, they value the fact that Winter City is far away in another world: this is simply the most perfect place to deal with some troublesome mages.
The mages of Dalaran have decided to send the mage Rhonin, who caused them the most headache, to Winter City to replace Jaina as Dalaran's diplomat in Winter City.
As for Jaina? She will not be recalled to Dalaran, because in addition to representing Dalaran, she also represents Kul Tiras, so she will continue to stay in Winter City.
Why did this news come from Fording? Because Dalaran directly sent Ronin to the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
The mage will represent Dalaran at the Lordaeron queen's succession ceremony before heading to Winter City.
After arriving in the Kingdom of Lordaeron, Ronin visited Fording directly and told the regent of Lordaeron about his next arrangements, so Fording knew all about it.
"Ronin? He is still so disliked by fellow mages!"
"This shouldn't be a problem for you."
Although Rhonin is not popular with other mages in Dalaran, he is indeed a powerful mage and his character is trustworthy. David should welcome him very much—as long as he doesn't blow up Winter City.
After chatting for a while about Azeroth, Fording also asked about the situation in Winter City.
He came to see often at first, but gradually came less often. He only came here occasionally to check the general situation of Winter City. After making sure that everything was fine with David, he didn't ask too much detail.
I have time today, so I asked more questions.
Only after asking this question did I know that such a big change has taken place in Cold Winter City!
Not only does Winter City occupy a larger area, but the naval base has been built to the area across the Winter River, and there is even a new development plan: to completely connect Winter City, Frost and Cold Sentry, and Snowfield Fortress. , forming a huge urban agglomeration!
"It's amazing."
Fording has learned what a modern urban agglomeration is, and knows that this design is in line with the future development direction, but after all, he lives in a "relatively backward (?) world, and the castles, cities, towns, and villages he saw since childhood have already formed in his heart. Fixed impression.
Even here, David developed in the way he was familiar with at first.
As a result, David's Winter City had just begun to look like a big city, and he was preparing to build a modern urban agglomeration. This kind of leapfrog development made him feel a little dazed.
"Actually, this is not an urban agglomeration, it's just connecting the scattered land in hand."
At least until the entire northern plain is developed, it can be regarded as a real urban agglomeration, and then gradually radiate outward.
The ultimate goal is to have only 'one city' on the entire Brennia continent, or even the only city of Winter City on the entire planet.
"It sounds magnificent." Fording said he had learned it, and he seriously thought about whether the Kingdom of Lordaeron could do the same?
He doesn’t have to worry about the technology. Since Winter City can do this, it proves that they have the relevant technology in their hands. He only needs to consider what kind of chips should be used, and buy the relevant technology from David.
"By the way, there is something I want to hear from you."
After listening to David's detailed description of the various changes in Winter City during this period, Fording wanted to ask David, an increasingly mature ruler, how he would choose when faced with such a problem ?
"After Her Majesty the Queen takes the throne, should I continue to quietly clean up the impact of natural disasters and restore the strength of the Kingdom of Lordaeron? Or, after initially stabilizing the situation in the kingdom, immediately mobilize the army and go to sea with other allies to expedition to Nordson De?"
Although the succession ceremony has not yet been held, the development direction of the Kingdom of Lordaeron after Her Majesty the Queen ascended the throne has been discussed many times, but no consensus has been reached.
"This matter... from my plan for Winter City, you should be able to see my tendency?"
