Chapter 312: Craftsman Sage

In Lentini, various construction projects are in full swing.

Supplies from the Duchess of Telanna have arrived.

In addition to the 50,000 gold coins and a thousand sets of weapons and armor he wanted, there were also hundreds of carts of food, and even a team of weapon craftsmen who came with him.

Raven knew that he now owed that lady a huge favor.

These supplies alone are worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins, not to mention the even more valuable weapon craftsmen.

They play a huge role, especially in times of war.

With these craftsmen, his weapons workshop can be upgraded to a higher level and he can produce ordinary weapons by himself.

In addition, several exquisite and gorgeous large boxes were placed in front of him, containing rows of magic restoration materials.

Lanster and Raven received the supplies together, and a complicated look flashed in their eyes when they saw this.

He didn’t want to admit that this woman claimed to be his mother, but he felt close to her unconsciously.

There were nearly a hundred cavalrymen escorting the goods. They simply stayed at Raven’s base for one night and left in a hurry the next day.

Before leaving, the leading cavalryman introduced the chief craftsman to Raven.

The chief craftsman was a middle-aged man in his forties, and he looked very shrewd.

“Master Raven, my name is Wilson, and I am Master Lie’s disciple.

The Duchess has been kind to me, and I am here on her orders, but please feel free to ask for anything you need.”

“Master Lie? But the Master Lie from Isaac City?” Raven was shocked.

“Exactly.”

Raven’s eyes lit up.

In the art of weapon making, if Master Lie ranks second, then no one in the entire Dante dares to say that he is first.

Since this person is his disciple, his level must be quite impressive.

His territory is in need of such talents.

“Great! I will leave the weapons workshop to you. I hope you can train more talents in weapons manufacturing for me.”

“Don’t worry, sir. I will live up to your trust.”

The next step is the delivery of materials.

Just as all this was completed, Hughie came to report that His Majesty’s special envoy, Earl Bolton, had arrived with a reward.

Raven was stunned. It had been so long that he almost forgot about it.

What a coincidence.

He had waited long and hard for Lentini when she was in trouble before, but now Fox has just delivered a batch of supplies, and people from Isaac City have also arrived in large numbers.

“Take me to see him.” Raven smiled. This was a good thing after all.

“Lord Bolton, thank you for your hard work on the journey.” Raven greeted in the living room.

“No, Lord Raven is highly valued by His Majesty. I am honored to be part of this trip.” Bolton said hurriedly.

After the last questioning in the court, he clearly understood that in the eyes of His Majesty, Ruiwen’s position was very important, at least much better than his own.

Thinking of this, his face became even more attentive.

“Well, to be honest, I should have come earlier.

However, due to the extreme shortage of supplies, I have been unable to gather them despite repeated requests, which has delayed my trip. I hope you can forgive me.”

“Why, you’re welcome.”

Bolton took out a piece of exquisite paper and said with a smile:

“Here is the inventory list.

The supplies this time include two boxes of magic restoration materials, twenty city defense crossbows, three thousand sets of armor and weapons, two hundred war horses, and one hundred thousand gold coins. “

Bolton elaborated.

“The reward consists of two parts.

One is to confer a title and reward, and the other is to commend you for your courage in venturing into the Western Wilderness.

It is important to mention that these are all materials that His Majesty has transferred from his private treasury.”

Raven was shocked, because the private vault was full of the former emperor’s personal belongings.

If so, has Dante’s supplies become so scarce?

Bolton seemed to see Raven’s doubts and said with emotion:

“To be honest, His Majesty really favors you.

I have never heard of him giving any reward from his private treasury to any earl.

Especially now that the war is so intense, even the Minister of Finance can’t raise supplies.”

“Minister of Finance?”

Raven frowned and thought of Figo, whose father was the Minister of Finance.

“I don’t know, under normal circumstances, should this batch of supplies of mine be allocated by the Minister of Finance?” “Of course, but this time is special, and Lord Andre has no other choice.” Bolton smiled bitterly.

“I understand.”

Damn it, that old thief must be the one who is causing trouble for me, that’s why I haven’t been able to get the supplies. Raven was certain.

“By the way, His Majesty will give you another reward.”

“what?”

“The power of conferring.”

“what is that?”

“Although you are a count, according to Dante’s Law, you only have the right to confer titles of nobility, and a maximum of three.

But His Majesty makes an exception and allows you to confer no more than 15 lords and 5 barons.

This is also a reward for your subordinates.”

“Really?” Raven was delighted.

If he had this right, those brothers who fought with him for life and death would have a place to stay.

“Of course it’s true, Your Majesty can still lie to you.

Ah, I almost forgot, there is one more thing, the Prime Minister personally supported a group of craftsmen for you, and they are coming with me this time.”

Bolton laughed.

“This is no less than your reward.”

“Prime Minister?” Raven was surprised.

He met the Prime Minister several times and was deeply impressed by his demeanor, but the two had no interaction.

“Yes, when he learned that I was coming here, he specifically ordered me to bring this team of craftsmen.

Don’t underestimate us, the leader is the craftsman and sage Master Tingsen.”

“Master Tinson?” Raven was even more shocked now.

He had heard of the name.

It can be said that throughout Dante, as long as one is a noble, basically no one does not know the name of Tinson.

One of the designers of the City of Isaac, the main designer of the Royal Palace and the Twin Towers, and the only remaining craftsman and wise man in the original country of Dante.

There are countless other honors and halos.

It can be said that in Dante’s world of architecture and art, Master Tinson is the creator of authority and the leader of fashion.

Because of this, in the eyes of Dante’s nobles, although he is not a powerful person, he is more respected than a powerful person.

After all, in the world of the aristocracy, besides fighting and killing, there are also more noble architecture and art.

Which nobleman doesn’t want to be cultured?

If you don’t even know about Master Tinson and his buildings, are you still a qualified noble?

“Yes, the master is a good friend of the Prime Minister.

He was invited by the Lord to stay here for a while and give some advice on the construction here.”

Raven was immediately overjoyed.

Lentini is in the midst of a rapid expansion, with its area, population, commerce, workshops, military development, etc. all expanding rapidly.

However, he was very troubled by how to plan for the future and how to build it more reasonably.

The arrival of Master Tingsen was just the right time to help.

With the guidance of this wise craftsman, everything will be solved.

“Please thank the Prime Minister for his kindness on my behalf,” Raven said sincerely, “By the way, where is the Master now?”

“He just arrived at the gate of Lentini and refused to leave. He is particularly interested in your city.”

“City gate? I’ll go and pay my respects right away.” Raven didn’t dare to neglect this sage craftsman.

The two of them then arrived at the city gate.

I saw a thin old man in a white robe pointing at the wall of Lentini, as if he was saying something.

The old man looked extremely old and bald, but he was very energetic.

Beside him, Sean and Sophie were accompanying him attentively.

No matter what he said, the two of them kept nodding like chicks pecking at rice.

It was the first time Raven saw Sophie like this.

They didn’t notice until he got to them.

“Raven, come here!

Let me introduce you to Master Tingsen, a famous craftsman and wise man.”

Sophie said excitedly.
