Chapter 407 The Prosperous Town of Kent

Roger and his party caused quite a stir when they returned to the lumberyard. 【】The workers at the lumberyard saw that the lord came back with the elves, and claimed that they had reached a peace agreement with the elves, and they all worshiped Roger even more.The lord is still very powerful. He solved the troubles that had plagued the lumber mill for several months as soon as he came forward. It is simply a miracle that there are still elves willing to join the army of the territory.

Roger also told everyone about the agreement reached with the elves, and the lumberjacks all knew that they would plant trees while cutting down trees.Although it is a bit troublesome to do so, at least there is no need to worry about cold arrows shot from behind when working, which still makes everyone very satisfied.Moreover, the amount of logging will be controlled in the future, so the total amount of work done by the workers has not increased, and everyone has nothing to object to Roger's new regulations.

After returning to Kent Town with the elves, Roger handed over twenty griffins to them, and appointed Elvira, who was the strongest among them, as the head of the Griffin Knights.As Roger said, these griffins are very docile and obedient, and all the quasi-griffin riders, including Elvira, are very satisfied.They train with their mounts on the sea every day, hoping to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

Although the elves have a good impression of Roger, they still keep a respectful distance from other humans.For this reason, Roger simply allocated a small island farther offshore to the elves to live in, and usually prohibited everyone from approaching except the ships that sent supplies to them.This will not only prevent conflicts between humans and elves, but also prevent griffins from frightening other people and animals in the territory, which is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

The elves are indifferent by nature and have no interest in the bustling town of Kent. Instead, they live more comfortably on the deserted island and are very satisfied with Roger's arrangement.

Roger is also very curious about this real air force, and wants to know what kind of role the twenty Griffin Knights can play in the war after they form combat effectiveness.In the world of Turonzo, Griffin Riders are often assigned to perform reconnaissance, harass the enemy's flanks, and hunt down enemy commanders and important targets because of their excellent maneuverability and speed.Except for reconnaissance and harassing the enemy's flank, other tasks are no different from suicide.

Roger didn't intend to use the Griffon Knights in this way, but planned to let them play a greater role.It would be too wasteful for him to let troops like Griffon Knights perform suicide missions. In fact, there are still many missions suitable for them.There are professional air forces on Earth, and Gryphon Riders can undoubtedly perform many of the tasks that air forces perform.

Therefore, in the training regulations formulated by Roger for the Griffin Rider, in addition to routine items such as maneuvering and maintaining formation, there are more trainings for fixed-point bombing and throwing various objects on the ground.Roger himself even arranged aerial combat training for the Griffin Rider out of his own hobbies on Earth, hoping that such training would come in handy someday.

While the Griffin Riders were training hard, other work on the territory was also proceeding in an orderly manner.

The expansion of the terminal has been completed, doubling the number of merchant ships that can berth.As merchant ships dock more, the throughput of goods will naturally increase accordingly.The direct result of this is that more businessmen come to the town, the manpower required by the town and the docks also increases, and Kent Town becomes more prosperous.

For any lord, it is of course a great thing for the territory to become prosperous.More taxes have been collected in the past few months, and Roger can purchase all kinds of precious materials needed to build the castle more freely.

In addition to the completion of the expansion of the pier, a major event also happened in the town. The "Kent Town Entertainment Complex" opened by Roger officially opened.This entertainment complex integrates catering, entertainment, and accommodation. It is the most luxurious, high-end, and largest entertainment venue in the town.

The twelve female slaves that Roger bought wore improved cheongsams that were a little narrower than the fit, with slits all the way to the thighs. They were divided into four groups and stood in turn at the entrance of the Entertainment Complex to welcome guests.It is said that even in the beauty economy in another world, it is very useful. Roger's move immediately attracted the interest of many people.Many businessmen came here upon hearing the news. They heard that this place is a good place for the lord to run. They were surprised but also very interested. They all entered the entertainment complex with the idea of ​​giving it a try. All of them felt that the trip was worthwhile. Eye-opener.

The Entertainment Complex restaurant sells all kinds of delicacies that Roger has pirated from the earth.Stir-fried, steamed, boiled, deep-fried, grilled, and even hot pot and sashimi are all available. The menu alone will dazzle the customers who come to consume.When the guests were feasting, they all had surprise expressions on their faces. These bumpkins have never eaten such delicious food, they almost swallowed their tongues.

In addition to the restaurant, the accommodation in the entertainment complex is also very characteristic.There are not only super luxurious rooms and soft beds, but also quilts made of white bear skin from the extreme north, and pillows filled with swan feathers. It is said that even the bedroom of King Alonso III did not have such good conditions.

If you want to say that the most attractive part of the entertainment complex is the casino here.The gambling method in the world of Torenzo is very simple, that is, rolling dice and guessing the heads and tails of gold coins.But there are all kinds of gambling methods in the casino here, such as stud, black jack, roulette, craps, even mahjong and slot machines.So many novel betting methods seemed fair, which naturally aroused the interest of many people.

Speaking of which, most of the people who came to Kent Town were wealthy businessmen, and they naturally liked these novelties. Many people would go to the casino for a while after eating, drinking and lodging.Although not many people lost their fortunes in the end, as long as everyone sent some money to the casino, it was enough for Roger to make a lot of money.The Entertainment Complex has only opened for a few days, and it has become another major source of income for Kent Town besides taxes.

Apart from these two great events, there was one event, though less dramatic, which would have had a more profound effect on the Continent: the making of distilled wine.Eddie gave a small portion of the wine to the dwarves. These alcoholic guys passed out after drinking a little. wine.

Of course Roger agreed to this, but of course he would not sell all the wine to the dwarves, but sold it as an extremely precious luxury throughout the continent.

Different from the tricks of the entertainment conglomerate, which are easily learned by others, the technique of distilling wine is only mastered by a few of Roger's confidantes, and he can keep this secret for a long time.Thinking of the situation that the extremely popular spirits would be sold well in the mainland, Roger seemed to be counting gold coins and pouring them into his pockets, and finally he really felt a little elated.

In addition to the obvious increase in the prosperity and income of the territory, Roger's own private villa has also been built.
