265. Chapter 265 Bathroom Scenery

The night is getting darker.

After half an hour of conversation with Duke Angma, Roddy politely said goodbye when he left the room, he could see that Angma had improved a lot - obviously, his plan for "Elsa Village" did play a role.

Although the economic level of the Iversta Territory is considered to be middle and upper reaches in the kingdom, in the eyes of modern people, Roddy, it has not even completely separated from the primitive stage of "natural economy".

The nobles' luxury of life is entirely because they have exploited the lower class to the extreme. In terms of the overall economic level, it is really unreasonable.

To make an extreme comparison: In the modern society where Roddy traveled through time, even if he was humble, as long as he dared to fight and fight, he could still find a similar job to support his family through hard work. If he had good opportunities, it would not be new to get rich. Even if he was honest and he was a brick-moving person, his salary would be enough to eat and drink.

But in this era, the fate of the lower-class farmers was extremely miserable. Even if the taxes were light, they could not make much money throughout the year, and they would not even have the chance to leave the village they were in for the rest of their lives... As for getting rich and becoming well-off, they were basically crazy.

High-profit industries such as mills, winemaking workshops, bakeries and pigeon lofts are all monopolized by the nobles - monopoly means huge profits, but these profits are still not enough in the face of sudden surge in military spending.

At this time, the sudden appearance of "Elsa Village" is definitely a surprise: the difference between "breaking soil" and the real medieval world is that it has the concept of "magic" and "warfare" and "forest resources" in addition to providing food, medicinal materials and wood, the profits of "warfare" related to "warfare" are far greater than most other basic industries!

If Elsa Village can become a harbor for humans in the "Silent Word Forest", it will be equivalent to allowing the resources of this forest to truly open the door to the Iversa Territory.

Optimize the villages of elves, establish a resting place for accommodation for mercenaries or adventurers, open trade channels, collect taxes, handling fees, transaction fees, etc., and then monopolize the right to buy and sell alcohol. In this way, within half a year, the military expenditure problem can be effectively alleviated almost immediately!

This plan made Duke Angma very excited. He originally thought that his territory would be dragged down by war, but the sudden turnaround gave him hope - although Roddy had brought him surprises again and again, and that he could win and kill the enemy, but now it involves economic and political aspects, which forced Angma to look up to him again.

"The benefits you bring to the village have been discovered to the extreme. I think even the most savvy nobles in the kingdom are nothing more than that."

Duke Angma sighed that he had a good impression of Roddy. The more he looked at Roddy, the more he liked him. Before Roddy left, he did not forget to take out a letter and said, "The letter Sally sent to you."

The wax seal was not removed, and it was obvious that Duke Angma respected privacy very much - this actually means that he did not oppose Roddy and Sally's relationship... and in this era, what this attitude means is no longer obvious.

After leaving the Duke's study, Roddy couldn't help but recall the girl with platinum hair: her confidence in riding on a horse when she met at the border, her coldness when she killed Francis with her own hands, her reluctance when she parted and her final determination... Roddy held the letter in her hand and suddenly found that she was inexplicably looking forward to the contents.

How was she doing there? Have she been wronged?

However, this emotion quickly dissipated. Roddy stood there in confusion, feeling that his thoughts seemed to be wrong...

Why do I feel this way? Do I really have any inappropriate thoughts about her?

Shaking his head, he felt that this should be just concern for ordinary friends - and as for Nefi...

"After making the deployment, go to Prague Village."

The little girl's village is more than a thousand kilometers away, but Roddy still decided to find an opportunity to go there, of course, the premise is to complete the first step of [Judgment of the Throne of Bone].

He lowered his head and opened the [taskbar]. His conversation with the two old men Angma and Benjamin means that the last step of all previous tasks was completed. So in addition to the experience gained when killing Ansardin and others, the completion of this series of tasks once again provided Roddy with astronomical experience. Roddy dragged the record and counted the numbers. The four or five tasks related to Ansardin, Magda, and Count Irving combined to reward 180,000 experiences.

The remaining experience and these combined are more than 200,000, but due to the level improvement, the required experience has become much more than before. Roddy took a look and found that the distance to the next level was only 350 experience points.

"It's so little... I'll find a task tomorrow to get it."

Roddy needs to upgrade to this level 1 as soon as possible, because the higher the current level, the quality of the leather armor he made will increase accordingly - of course, the wrist guards he showed before were given to Nata, and the basic level was level 9.

It was already dark outside the window, but it was only 8:30 in the evening. Roddy thought about it and felt that he should have a brief conversation with Sulun and Nata, so he asked the maid about their residence.

Two minutes later, Roddy saw Sulun who was concentrating on studying manuscripts. Although he had been traveling for several days, Sulun seemed to not care about this fatigue at all. When he found that Roddy came to see him, he was full of energy to discuss leather making techniques with Roddy.

Roddy naturally had no interest in teaching him now, so he chatted for a few simple words and then said goodbye and left.

Walking out of this room, he asked Nata's room again, then walked to the front of the room, and gently knocked on the wooden door...

*******

For wood elves, the time it takes to "bathe" is usually not too much.

When in Elsa Village, Nata's bathing place was a small stream not far from the village. Because the underground springs flowed, the temperature of the stream was always a bit cold. It was okay in summer, but in late autumn, severe winter and early spring, ordinary wood elves would not choose to take a bath there - but Nata, who has a vigilance, was obviously exceptional. As long as the stream water did not freeze, she would still use this cold and harsh water flow to clean her body...

This is also a typical example of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

When she arrived in Keege Town, Nata came into contact with the "bathtub" and understood how it was used under Roddy's explanation, so she would not confuse the purpose of the bathroom in front of her at this time.

The polished surface of the marble bathtub is glowing with a soft luster, and magic crystals are placed on the heating device driven by the magic array, and the water temperature is always constant. Nata reached out and touched it, not knowing where the petals in the bathtub were found, because she remembered that these flowers would only bloom in summer, and at this time, she could not even find a shadow in the wild...

A second later, the two people finally contacted their eyes.

Roddy and Nata fixed at the same time, staring at each other blankly, but they didn't even realize what was going on for a moment.
Chapter completed!
