Chapter 636 Lion Harbor

Lister stood by the huge window of the office, looking at the bustling scene outside.

Many buildings outside were under construction, some were still laying foundations, some had already started building walls, and some were being decorated and painted.

He was now located on a small peninsula where the southern territory of the Horn Bay Alliance extended into the sea, and it was not far from Niceburg, the capital of the Horn Bay Alliance. It would take less than half a day to reach Niceburg by riding a fast horse.

After receiving the appointment from Count Paul Graman of Alda, Lister quickly began to perform his duties.

In his official capacity, he found Marcus, the chairman of the Horn Bay Alliance Council, and Joe Foster, who had an important influence in the Council, and proposed to buy a small piece of land, which would be used for the merchants of the Northwest Bay to settle down, supply and dry goods.

Because the Horn Bay Alliance was busy with the war, it had a great impact on trade, and merchants from other countries were more or less affected here. Count Graman sent someone to make this request, which did not surprise the Council.

But they still refused.

The Horn Bay Alliance is quite wealthy. Even though it has been at war with the Horn Bay Church for a year, its financial resources are still not exhausted, so the Council is not short of money.

But under the current circumstances, there is one thing that the Horn Bay Alliance will never have too much of - weapons.

Lister seized this pain point. After repeated negotiations, he promised the Council on behalf of Earl Graman a supply of weapons worth about 500,000 Aldo silver shields, and finally got this small corner called Lion Corner, which covers an area of ​​about 50 acres.

There is one thing that is not perfect. This small piece of land is considered to be borrowed, and the term is only 30 years.

After a series of surveys and mapping - some surveyors came to Horn Bay with the mercenaries - the agreement was sent to Earl Paul Graman, who was still in the royal capital Jingyao.

The earl responded quickly, he agreed, and rewarded Lister - this surprised Lister, he thought he had messed up - and urged him to sign a formal lease agreement with the Horn Bay Alliance as soon as possible.

Things were quickly settled, and this inconspicuous Cape Lion became a small territory of the Graman family overseas, of course within thirty years.

Friedrich List, Dennis McFed, and Jeremyn Erwin became the managers of this small territory.

List was responsible for exchanges with the countries of Cape Bay, McFed was responsible for the construction of Cape Lion, and Erwin managed the mercenaries stationed here.

After several discussions, the three decided to build Cape Lion into a small city with comprehensive functions.

Although the place was not large, they still planned the dock area, administrative area, trade area, residential area, warehouse area and military area in detail, and every inch of land must be reasonably used.

Cape Lion was also renamed Lion Port, and it soon became a large construction site, and buildings began to be built one by one.

The city hall and military barracks were completed first. The mercenaries who returned from the Northwest Bay moved into the barracks and took on the security and defense tasks here under the command of McFed.

After the news of the Northwest Bay building a port at Lion's Corner spread, a large number of Northwest Bay merchants who made a living in the Corner Bay came here and bought property here.

They knew that Earl Graman had stationed a mercenary team here, and the merchants in the Northwest Bay had a mysterious confidence in the Graman family's military power, and of course they would rather live under the wings of the Earl.

The port, which had taken shape, began to have merchant ships docked.

In short, this small piece of land, where there was not even a fishing village, began to prosper.

Liszt had just gone on a long trip - to the Principality of Eaton to learn about the latest situation there. The Principality of Eaton announced not long ago that it recognized the legal status of spellcasters, which caused a sensation in the entire Corner Bay. Therefore, Liszt, who was a diplomatic envoy in a sense, had to go there in person to investigate.

This was the second day after he came back. Lion Harbor had changed again compared to when he left for Eaton. Looking at the small place that was changing with each passing day, his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment.

Knock knock knock! The door of the office was knocked.

"Please come in."

The door opened, and a staff member of the city hall came in and said respectfully, "Lord Liszt, a lady who claims to be surnamed Asitini wants to visit you."

"Asitini?"

The image of a chestnut-haired beauty appeared in his mind.

"What color is her hair?"

"It's chestnut, sir."

It was indeed Sevilla. Liszt was a little excited in his heart, and was surprised why she came back. Shouldn't Jiaowan be a place she was afraid to avoid?

"Thank you for your hard work. Please let her in."

"Yes, sir."

After waiting for a few minutes, a gentle sound of footsteps came from outside the door. Before Sevilla left Jiaowan, she had lived with Liszt for a period of time, so Liszt was very familiar with her footsteps. Of course, the so-called living together was just living in the same house, and the two did not have any transgressions.

The door of the office was pushed open again, and a familiar face that had not been seen for a long time appeared in front of Liszt again.

No mistake, one song, one post, one content, one content, one book, one bar, one 6, one 9!

Sylvia is fuller than before, her skin is smoother, and her hair is more colorful. All the changes make her look more beautiful and charming.

It seems that she is doing well in Northwest Bay. Without the pressure of the church, she is more relaxed in spirit and life, and it is natural for her to become beautiful.

Sylvia walked in and closed the door gently.

"Maybe..." Looking at the dazed guy opposite, the witch smiled, "Should I call you Lord Lister now?"

Lister responded and said with a smile: "No matter what changes happen to my position, we are still friends. Please sit down!"

He gestured to Sylvia to sit down, and personally poured her a glass of water.

"How is life in Northwest Bay?" Although they both write letters every month.

"Still the same. Sometimes leisurely, sometimes busy, but the most important thing is safety."

"Hahaha, I said you and your companions didn't go to the wrong place. Since you are so satisfied, why do you come back? Could it be... to reminisce?"

There was a hint of resentment in Sylvia's eyes, "Can't I come to see you?"

"Oh, of course, you are always welcome here, Sylvia. But I think you are definitely not just for this purpose, right?"

"Okay!" Sylvia sighed helplessly, "I heard that the Eton people no longer persecute spellcasters. Is this true?"

Lister nodded, "It's true."

"I want to go to Eton to take a look."
