Chapter 23 A letter home from afar

Brian checked his personal attributes again, and his personal attributes also changed.

Name: Brian Horsman.

Race: human

Age:18

Strength: Intermediate knight, magic apprentice

Occupation: Noble lord (escrow), magician

Reputation: 42 (obscure)

Spouse: None

Demon Pet: None

Heirs: None

Comment: The responsible lord began to build his territory.

Although the evaluation has not changed, Brian's reputation has increased by 10 achievement points. It seems that the inspection of Maple Creek Town is not completely useless.

At this time, Brian's achievement points have reached 720 likes. Brian also knows that he cannot rely on the system for everything. Whatever makes you successful will eventually become your limitation.

But the early development system was Brian's biggest help, no less than the help given to him by the Horsman family. Even though they knew there were hidden dangers, they had no choice but to admit it.

Now Brian only needs to add another 380 achievement points to summon a foreign engineering team to fulfill his promise and start building canals and opening canals to deal with possible droughts.

It's a pity that the strength of the territory has not changed, and it has not added any achievement points for him.

It seems that it will take a long time for the investments Brian has made in the past few days to be transformed into territorial strength?

If you want to get 380 achievement points in a short period of time, you still need to improve your personal strength and prestige.

Brian needs a reliable mentor to guide him. It's time to go back to the Duke's Mansion. I believe that with the heritage of the Horsman family, there should be no problem in finding a magic mentor to make Brian an official magician.

A feeling of hunger in his stomach brought Brian back to reality. He turned off the system and took a look at the time. It was already noon the next day.

When Brian walked out of the training room, he saw Butler Carl guarding the door with an anxious look on his face. Butler Carl didn't know that his young master was going to become a magician.

I just thought that something went wrong in the process of practicing Dou Qi, but I didn't dare to enter rashly, so I could only wait anxiously at the door.

Now that he saw his young master walking out of the training room safely, Butler Karl was relieved.

Brian comforted the old man who had watched him grow up. In the mind of his predecessor, this butler was second only to his father in importance.

Butler Carl also realized that Brian must be hungry after not eating for so long, so he hurriedly called the maid to prepare a meal.

Brian walked into the restaurant to prepare for dinner, when Butler Karl sent two more letters, which turned out to be replies from Duke Horsman and Aunt Lina.

Brian first opened the letter from Duke Hausman, in which Duke Hausman expressed his support for Brian's plan to build a canal as soon as he arrived in the territory.

Although Count Merovingian is not a vassal of the Horsman family, the Duke will hold a banquet to invite him three days later.

Presumably, the other party would not refuse. With the Duke's Palace as the home court for Brian to talk to the other party about the canal, it would definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

Ask Brian to quickly return to the Duke's Palace to discuss the details of the negotiations and the countermeasures to be adopted if the negotiations fail.

Brian couldn't help but admire Duke Horsman. He was indeed a famous old fox among the great nobles. There was no way he could escape this Merovingian Count of Hongmen Banquet.

Then he opened Aunt Lina's letter, and the content of the letter surprised Brian.

Aunt Lina actually expressed support for Brian's canal plan and even waived the 1,000 gold coins offered this year.

If Brian doesn't have enough funds, you can help him raise some in the capital.

It turns out that building the canal has always been the wish of the Horton family, but due to the unreasonable demands of Earl Merovingian, the plan has been unable to be implemented.

The original intention of taking up the post of Viscount Horton was to improve his title through this expedition so that he could better negotiate with Count Merovingian as an earl, but he never expected that he would never return.

Building the canal has also become Viscount Horton's last wish. As his widow, Aunt Lina certainly hopes to help her husband fulfill his last wish.

Therefore, he fully supported his nephew in building this canal to commemorate his late husband.

Who said that marriage between nobles only has interests and no love.

For Aunt Lina to marry Viscount Horton, apart from Viscount Horton himself being excellent, the most important thing is that Aunt Lina really loves him deeply.

After the death of her husband, I didn’t want to return to Landsburg anymore because I was afraid of seeing things and thinking about people and being trapped in painful memories.

After reading his aunt's reply, Brian felt that the weight on his shoulders became heavier.

In Brian's memory, Aunt Lina was a kind-hearted girl who loved to laugh. He didn't know if she was doing well in the royal capital.

Brian asked Butler Carl if the wine shipped from Maple Creek Town had arrived in Lanesburg?

"Don't worry, young master, the wine carriage has arrived at Lansburgh after traveling all night. According to your instructions, two barrels of fine wine have been transported to the royal capital together with your letter to the eldest young master. There are still three barrels left that I have saved.

wine cellar."

"My father's letter asked me to go back to the Duke's Palace as soon as possible. I happened to bring the remaining three barrels of wine back with me as a gift to my father. He will definitely be happy."

"The young master's filial piety is really touching. I will prepare it right now."

Looking at the retreating figure of Butler Carl, Brian let out a long sigh. He had never lived a peaceful life in this time, running here and there.

He didn't even recognize his own bed and had to change his bed again.

It's a pity that he is a big homeboy, and he has traveled more in these days than he has in his entire life.

Depressedly, he ate the last piece of beef on the plate, wiped his mouth with a napkin, stood up, and changed into a set of round clothes. He was going to lead his people back to the territory of the Horsman family.

We can't just bring 20 people this time, so we don't have to go with the whole family.

Butler Karl still stayed in Landsburg, and Luna also stayed behind.

Brian didn't want Duke Horsman to misunderstand anything when he saw Luna, thinking that he was a womanizer. Even if he was greedy for Brian, he was also greedy for Alyssa, and he would not be interested in this little girl.

Only taking Dills Horton Knight and Sean Black and 40 escort members.

As for the three hundred black-armored cavalry, they continued to stay in Landsburg to protect the safety of the castle.

This time Brian chose to take a carriage. After all, noble magicians either fly or ride in a carriage.

So the two carriages, one pulling Brian and the other pulling the gifts for the Duke, together with 40 guards and servants, left Lansburg in a mighty manner and headed for the city of Pest, the headquarters of the Horsman family.

The city of Pest has been run by the Horsman family for nearly a thousand years. It is one of the few large cities in the northern part of the continent. Its population is close to 300,000, which is not far behind the royal capital. There are even 50,000 standing troops stationed in the city.
