When it was gray and dawn, Jones went out wearing the armor of the Silver Moon Knights. He was probably the only blood clan on the continent that was active during the day.

Yes, the only one. Therefore, he may be the most diligent blood clan on the entire continent.

The special armor that Catherine gave him was made of heaven, and hell could actually make the same thing, which was not difficult. Even the blood clan itself could do it, but it was a little more expensive. However, being able to do it is different from being willing to wear it. Most blood clans are unwilling to put on a set of uncomfortable armor, and they are even unwilling to wear armor in broad daylight and sway around against the sun. They advocate the dark aristocratic spirit, rather than the iron-blooded knight spirit like the Silver Moon Knights.

Except for a Jones who came out of the Silver Moon Knights.

Of course, there is Dora with him.

Coming to the dwarf village, Jones summoned all the dwarfs and announced the first real decree since he received the territory.

"From today, we are named Giant Snake City, and we use the Hydra flag. And I will also use the new family emblem."

"Why is it called 'Giant Snake City'?" a dwarf asked in confusion.

"This is to thank Ms. Hydra for their help." Turning his face, Jones saluted to Hydra on the side: "Thank you, ma'am."

Hydra nodded: "The giant snake will protect you, little bat."

When he came to the barrel, Jones handed a pattern to the barrel.

At first glance, it looks like a flower, but when you look closely, you will find that it is actually a Hydra, with only nine snake heads surrounding it into the shape of a flower. It is quite creative pattern.

"Help me create a batch of badges for everyone. I will buy the materials back. Of course, I will also ask you to embroider the flag. We need our own flag."

"Is this the same pattern?" asked Jiu Chuan.

"Yes, the same pattern." Back to the heights, Jones announced: "From today on, Snake City is not only my territory, but also your home. We will run it together. I declare that there will be no enslavement within the scope of Snake City, and everyone is a free people. Including those who live here in the future and who are still living in a corner of the mainland, if they are willing to be my people, I will also give them freedom. This is to thank you for your help, you are all the founding elders of Snake City. As for me, from today on, I will no longer be whose son. I, Jones Dracula, are the ancestors of the Dracula family in Snake City. I will rule this territory by myself, rather than standing under the blessings of anyone."

The wine barrel walked out of the crowd and came to Jones, and saluted respectfully: "May God bless you, my Lord. Your generosity will be included in the history books of the dwarves in the Serpent City. We will remember it forever."

"May God bless you, Lord My Lord!" All the dwarves saluted Jones.

"I hope God will bless you, my people. Your kindness will also be included in the history books of the Dracula family in the Serpent City. The Dracula family in the Serpent City will stand with you forever." Jones also bowed respectfully to them: "Although there is nothing here, from today on, let us work together for the future of this land."

The dwarves heard warm applause. Some cheered and some whistled.

Dora stood aside and watched silently.

"And you, Dora." Jones turned his face and said softly: "I will work hard to make money and buy your contract back. And your parents' contract. Let you enjoy freedom too."

"Thank you, Lord Jones. My Lord Lord." Dora held her skirt and bowed quietly to Jones.

"The road ahead is still long. As a lord, I still need to learn a lot. I need you to take care of it." Jones replied respectfully.

This should be a new beginning. The young heart has grown new buds, and the blood clan who left home has calmed down, cut off all thoughts, and made a promise to embark on a new journey.

Courage is growing, and there is nothing to restrain him anymore.

...

"If we want to build a great city-state, gold mines alone are certainly not enough. I need more industries. Before that, I need to complete the drawings of the territory. I must know my territory well."

While walking, Jones began to measure his territory with a few dwarves who happened to be free.

The territory of Giant Snake City is very large, very large, a hundred times that of Count Dracula. It is located on the edge of the blood clan settlement area on the Colin Peninsula. The north and east are the territory of the blood clan, the south is the territory of the Goblin Kingdom, and the west is a mountain range, which is the human kingdom.

Since humans are not interested in mountains, there is no boundary to the west. If Jones wants to, the territory can even double its size. However, the expanded land is barren or dangerous areas with monsters. It has no practical significance. Moreover, the blood clans do not have much requirement for the size of the land, so large land area is different from valuable.

Perhaps because the land here is not valuable, there is not even an accurate map in the handover contract document. Jones had to measure it himself. Fortunately, he had a group of dwarf partners who were good at this.

"I can give them the land to all those who are willing to live here. In this way, the Giant Snake City will flourish, just like Hilde."

"If you want to be a great lord, you must know enough. A great lord is not necessarily good at fighting, but is good at management and management. You don't have to be proficient in every field, but you must have something to do. You have to do everything alone before there are enough people to help you. It will be very difficult."

"If this road is not difficult, wouldn't everyone be able to do it? In that case, the final victory will not appear brilliant."

...

"There are almost no tradeable places around Giant Snake City, which is also the biggest problem encountered by gold mines before. The freight is too expensive."

"Maybe you can think about the Goblin Kingdom in the south. It's the closest place to us, only seven days away." The barrel reminded.

After hesitating for a moment, Jones replied softly: "This is a good idea. I should find some time to visit the Goblin Kingdom. But if that happens, we need to build a road. This will lack a lot of staff."

Jones thought carefully with his brow frowned.

If he not only wants to develop a gold mine to pay off his debts, then the manpower and investment he needs will be astronomical. He has to consider many things in advance.

Fortunately, he had no worries about this last night.

...

Adolf stood quietly on the high ground, staring at him silently, looking at this strange strange blood clan who came out to work in broad daylight. He looked at the rumored adopted son of the Lich King.

...

"If you have nothing else... you can actually take a break and we can solve it ourselves."

"That's the matter. Didn't you say that I want to be a great lord and have to be involved in everything? I'll learn exploration from you now."

"Okay." Jiuzhu sighed helplessly and said with a smile: "To be honest, I regret saying that to you. I feel like you are snatching my job. If the Vampire learns to explore, what else do you have to do? The Vampire has an unlimited lifespan."

As a territory that aims to be a "great city-state", there are very, very many things to do, but there are very few things to do now. At least for Jones, he is not able to do much. Everything must be gradually progressive.

During the whole day, Jones, in addition to measuring the terrain around the castle, was doing odd jobs and explorations in a dirt-like manner. The dwarves were eating, and he was drinking blood silently. It has to be said that the blood clans are much better than the dwarves doing odd jobs. They can do many things that dwarves cannot do.

"This area is for the refinery." Jones pointed to the map just drawn and said, "The terrain here is relatively flat, with water sources next to it, and we are likely to mine it from here in the future, so the transportation distance will not be too far. You can arrange a handful to help Adolf organize it first. If possible, repair a further section of the road. Although it will definitely not be completed, it is better than idle handicap."

"Okay." The wine barrel spread his hands.

Everyone was busy because whenever they saw who had time, Jones would assign him a job. Of course, it was a salary. The dwarves were also particularly happy, after all, they made money.

For many people, simple cycles of work - making money - were simply a luxury for them. Because before Jones announced that they would give them freedom, they themselves were even the property of others.

Although the money for paying for slaves and various materials and running is really small enough to be ignored.

...

When night fell, Adale brought his butler and guards to Jones.

The first thing he did when he met, Adair still hugged Jones as usual: "Hey, my brother Jones. Sorry, I didn't help you yesterday, wouldn't you blame me?"

"No, no. Thank you."

"real?"

Jones smiled and said, "You have helped me a lot."

"But I don't think there is enough. In fact, I can help you more. If you are willing to let me help you, I can instantly give you wealth beyond your father."

"But I don't want you to help me so much."

"Why?" Adair was stunned for a moment.

"Because I want to rely on myself. Let me rely on myself. You have helped me enough." Jones replied seriously: "Please forgive my selfishness. I think it very clearly. The reason why I have always feared my father is because I rely on him. All gifts come at a price. Only by relying on myself can I live in this world fearlessly."

"Well...well, if you need me to help you, feel free to tell me that I am ready to help you."

"Thanks."

Turning his face, Adair saw a group of dwarves in the distance building something by the river: "Is your gold mine there?"

"That's not a gold mine." Jones pointed to the side and said, "The gold mine is next to it. It's ready for Adolf to build a refinery."

"Adolf's refinery?" Adale was stunned for a moment.

"Yes. Tomorrow is the brotherhood party. I made an appointment with Adolf to meet tomorrow. He wants to build a refinery here and acquire my gold ore. This refinery is very important to me."

"Forehead……"

"What's the matter?"

Adair accepted the gods and replied, "No, nothing. I was thinking that this refinery might be better if I built it. I also want to make some money for refining."

"Let Adolf come." Jones smiled and said, "I have promised him and signed the agreement. The merchant must keep his promise."

Adale blinked and thought.

"What's the matter?"

"No. No, I just thought of something else."

"I may not be able to stay in the Brotherhood tomorrow. After all, I made an appointment with Adolf to meet and got the Chamber of Commerce. There are other things to do."

"It's okay, I'll accompany you."

"You're with me?"

"Yes, I'll accompany you." Adale spread his hands and said, "I'll take you around the Hilde Chamber of Commerce and maybe introduce some other people to you."

"Is that so good!" Jones was overjoyed: "I just need this!"

"You need this?"

"I need to start other businesses and meet more people. Adolf said, meet more people and look for business. I think he is right."

Adair asked hesitantly, "Has he... told you anything else?"

"There are many other things, about business, about refineries. What's wrong?"

"No, nothing. I will accompany you tomorrow." Adair said confidently: "If you are determined to do business, believe me, I can help you get to know Hild better. After all, that's my family."

"Thank you." Jones said gratefully, holding Adair's hand.

"No need to thank you, this is what I should do as a brother. Otherwise, what should I do if I want the brothers?" Adair laughed and raised his head. He suddenly found that the Hydra stretched out a head from the castle and was looking at him silently. The laughter suddenly became extremely awkward.

Under the night, torches were lit around the castle, and the dwarves and zombies were still busy. Everyone was struggling to fight.

On the cliff in the distance, Adolf, who was eavesdropping with magic, quietly put away his spell and retreated step by step.

"This Lich King's adopted son... seems to be very different from what I think. Maybe, I have put my strength into the wrong direction. But if I don't start from him, where should I start? I must quietly not let anyone notice our existence."

As he said that, the blue figure quietly floated in the wind like quicksand.
Chapter completed!
