Great Nobleman

Among the entire underground structure of the small island in the center of Fanhua Bay.

At the bottom, the smallest hollow cylindrical area composed of white-grained magic stone, guards the wind element environmental rune array!

Further up, the second layer of hollow columns, which is larger than the previous layer, is closely connected to the previous layer and at the same time protects the gestating magic spring.

Further up, a larger hollow column on the third floor forms the medicine garden space where Brand and Celine are currently located.

Above them is the ground area, the fourth floor from bottom to top, and the largest circular castle outer wall.

It is also the foundation of the future castle!

In fact, Celine didn't originally intend to completely wrap the underground layout with white-veined magic stone.

But more than ten days ago, when they were still decorating the magic spring.

Brand, who was distracted by constantly changing the design of the castle in the simulation world, suddenly came up with this idea.

Take the perspective of decades, centuries, and even millennia.

It is not impossible that intelligent beings with ulterior motives may discover some of their underground arrangements and then carry out targeted destruction.

——It is actually difficult for them to ensure that the underground area under the castle is always safe!

——The layout of the underground space is very important!

There are many ways to protect these arrangements, but from a war perspective.

The relatively safe method is of course to build a "castle" underground.

Protect these important arrangements securely!

Just in time, Brand exchanged a sufficient amount of white-veined magic stones from the empire!

After Brand's careful calculation in the simulation world.

These white-veined magic stones are enough to complete their arrangement!

There may even be a small part left!

In this case, they don’t need to hesitate at all about what to do!

Of course, it was precisely because of Brand's idea.

The work that could have been completed in ten days suddenly doubled!

Even if Celine is a senior mage, Brand still has an artifact in his hand.

They are also very busy these days.

So much so that they had a lot more work to do in the future.

One is that the process by which the wind element environmental rune array takes effect needs to be changed.

The second is that the magic spring needs to arrange some special channels to absorb the water elements in the ocean.

In order to cooperate with their plan changes.

Chris also postponed the auction that was being prepared for a short period of time.

It all seems like a lot of trouble.

But in fact, Celine fully agrees with Brand’s thoughts!

——Of course you must protect your important treasures to the maximum extent!

He walked around the three underground spaces one after another.

After checking every detail and finding no problems.

Brand and Celine also walked all the way back to the ground.

Currently, except for the outermost ring of outer walls.

The rest of the entire island has not changed much.

The only thing worth mentioning:

Presumably they designed an opening in the outer wall of the southern part of the island.

Sea water poured in through this opening, forming a small bay in an area within the outer wall.

The Silver Phoenix is ​​now anchored in this bay.

——Because what they are going to build is a sea castle, they definitely still need a pier!

This small bay will be where the castle's pier will be in the future.

Brand is going to use it to park his own exclusive car at sea!

After walking all the way to the deck of the Silver Phoenix.

The amethyst necklace on Brand's chest suddenly began to shine.

Wait for Brand to summon the empty shadow screen and light screen and connect the communication.

Catherine, who was currently in the imperial palace, quickly appeared on the screen.

Then, Catherine quickly explained:

"Master, some elders are here.

They get a little agitated and almost want to break into your lab.

Chrissy is procrastinating now. "

Upon hearing this, Brand waved his hands calmly and said:

"It doesn't matter, if they break in, they will break in.

When they come up short, just say I'm not here. "

Compared to Brand's dull reaction, Celine said somewhat helplessly:

“Okay, okay, don’t waste your time here!

It doesn't matter if they come up short, but it would be bad if they accidentally damage any decorative ornaments. "

Saying this, Celine also pulled Brand and walked towards the cabin.

After they sealed the Silver Phoenix, used the portable teleportation array to return to the underground space of the Imperial Mansion, and then followed the stairs back to Brand's small building.

Catherine, who was waiting outside the secret passage, quickly came over and said:

"Several lords are in the lobby now, accompanied by Chrissy and Hisari.

Because two days ago, Chris had people spread ‘gossip’ as planned.

After several elders found out, they all wanted to find an explanation from the young master. "

Hearing this, Brand nodded calmly and said:

"I know, I'll go talk to them now."

Saying this, Brand also walked towards the lobby on the first floor of the small building.

The first moment when Brand came to the hall.

Several elders looked at him sharply.

But Brand greeted calmly and with a smile:

"Good day, gentlemen. I heard that you are looking for me in an emergency?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Romien took the lead in attacking.

I saw him speaking impatiently:

"Don't talk nonsense in front of us. You must know our purpose! You said you wouldn't do that more than half a month ago. But when the time comes, you don't even have a little cover-up! This is too much!" Master Mesa said immediately: "Naik is right, we really misjudged you! It's okay for you to use hunger marketing and limit the number of places for everyone to scramble for! But at least open a back door for us! What about the preferential treatment for your own people? You can't cheat us too, right?" Hearing this, Brand retorted calmly: "The masters should have received the second investment quota of our Morning Flower Port by now, right? You don't need to wait to participate in the auction to compete for the quota like ordinary people.

How can you say I don't get any preferential treatment at all? "

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Robert said:

"But the quota we got this time can only be used to rent a shop of ordinary size!

According to the gossips you spread!

Among the investment quotas obtained by spending at the auction.

The lowest level of quota is just like us, only able to rent a shop of ordinary size.

And the highest level of investment quota can even rent two houses or four shops!

It beat us in an instant!"

Master Claude concluded:

"The preferential treatment you give us is not even enough to fill the gaps in our teeth!

This is completely to make us participate in the auction and compete with others for more quotas!

Obviously, they are preparing to trap us as well!"

Master Holland The master frowned and said:

"It's not just us this time. Other people in the alliance also had some small opinions last time.

Although they also received the invitation to invest, they can only rent a small shop like us.

We have helped you withstand the pressure these days, so I think you can also express your gratitude.

We calculated carefully.

The houses and shops we rented last time plus the quota you opened this time, Morning Flower Port has only opened about one-fifth of the area to the outside world, right?"

Brand nodded and said:

"It's about the same. The one-fifth open to the outside world, plus our internal allocation and the area as a private reserve.

There is still about half of the area in Morning Flower Port that has not been opened.

After all, our city management personnel are not large in scale. It is large and is being expanded.

When the time is right in the future, we will consider further opening to the outside world. "

Master Holander nodded and said:

"So opening a backdoor for us won't affect anything at all.

You obviously still have a lot of cards to play!

We don't have many demands, so the quota you give us is no worse than those who are qualified to participate in the auction.

When you go to your Morning Flower Territory, you will definitely bid for the lease like last time, right?

We can also help you raise the price at that time, right?

This is a win-win choice! "

- Unexpectedly, the appetite of several masters is much smaller than Brand imagined, and they also proposed exchange conditions to help him raise the price!

Brand originally thought that several masters wanted him not to limit the number of houses they rented in Morning Flower Harbor!

While thinking, Brand turned his eyes to Chris on the side.

At this time, Chris also smiled and winked at him.

- Obviously, Chris should have done a lot of preparation for him!

While secretly deciding to raise Chris's salary, Brand also responded:

"If the masters can really help me raise the price.

I think this is indeed a win-win situation, but will it affect our reputation?"

Seeing that Brand had already shown signs of giving in, Master Romien smiled and assured:

"Just leave it to us, we are professionals in this area."

It must be said that Brand felt that the suggestions of the masters were also very good!

After giving Chris a questioning look and seeing Chris nod imperceptibly, Brand responded with a smile:

"Then happy cooperation!"
