Able to obtain the loyalty of characters like the Bone King, even if it is loyal for a limited time. So at least during this period of validity, Allen doesn't have to worry about something going wrong in the wasteland. If Mokdan is the gateway to the southern line of the Shadow Empire, then the wasteland is the gateway to Alan's Foundation. The Land of the Lost is now Allen’s back garden. Mitinas is making great efforts to build his troops based on the rich resources of the Land. When the Burning Legion is to be transported out of the land, he must pass through the wasteland. Of course, this door is The more solid the better.

The wasteland is not as prosperous as Mokdan, it is a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, but that is also its advantage. Merchants saw business opportunities there, while hunters and mercenaries found a little room for survival in the wasteland. There are everyone in the great wasteland, so the news in that place is also the most informed, and Mokdan can't match it. Alan has already planned to establish an intelligence network of his own in the wasteland, so people like Zasso are needed to manage him, and only people like Zasso can make those desperadoes in the wasteland obey orders.

Even for a big businessman like Gary, Allen can give him enough sweetness, and there is Zasso shock, so that he will not give birth to two hearts. After all, Alan could not stay in the wasteland. Maybe if you leave for too long, the businessman will have extra thoughts. Allen knows that these people's heads are tight.

On the contrary, strong people like Zasso, as long as they are strong enough, they dare not give birth to two hearts. These people and businessmen like Gary saw a slightly different world.

On the same day, we banqueted people from far away from the wasteland. Among them, the happiest ones were Gary and a few businessmen. Gary is considered a character in the Great Wasteland, but it is very common to throw it in Mokdan, but now it is because of Alan. Just after entering Mokdan, he has received invitations from several business leaders, which was impossible in the past. No matter how stupid Gary is, he knows that his identity is now rising, and he couldn't help but be grateful that he was on the right side at the beginning.

At the banquet, Allen also redeemed his promise, and Gary and others who had sponsored him received generous returns. Especially Gary, Allen promised that he would monopolize most of the business dealings in the Great Wasteland. This made Gary even more ecstatic, and he was loyal to Allen. Also attending the banquet were the upper-class figures of Mocdan. They saw Allen's appreciation of Gary, and they knew that this was essentially the message that Allen wanted to convey to them. As for what kind of response these messages can bring, only they know.

The banquet ended, but Allen was far from being able to rest. He walked into a study room and said that it was not so appropriate, because before Allen moved in, it was the room where the former city lord Gurant used to play with women. Before cleaning, there are still many special utensils inside. Of course, these things are now missing. The butler of the City Lord’s Mansion arranged it as a study room according to human habits, but there are empty bookshelves in the room, but there are only three or two books in the collection, which seems a bit strange.

Allen turned a blind eye to this. He didn't want to pursue these dispensable furnishings now. Gris was already waiting in the study. Alice’s old butler had already contacted Mokdan before the banquet.

The more important figures have a preliminary understanding of the current affairs in the city, and listed for Allen several tasks that must be completed in the near future, as well as the general planning and development direction of the city in the future.

After reading it roughly, Allen sighed: "Mr. Grith is really knowledgeable, otherwise how could he sort out these matters in less than a day."

Gris smiled and said, "Master Allen is absurd. If it were before, I could not get these things if I had the intention. But during the time when Master Alice was sleeping, I learned something to pass the time when I was idle. Just learn to learn more."

"Then I have to trouble you to take care of this city for me."

Grice shook his head and said, "Master Allen, haven't you thought about cultivating your own talents? Honestly, I can take care of this city for you, but there is nothing wrong with it, but what about the next one? There will only be more and more territories. I am an old thing, I am afraid that my energy is limited."

Allen smiled bitterly: "I think, but I don't have the time and energy to cultivate management candidates. It would be nice if that guy was there before."

He thought of Edward, and Edward was there, and he didn't need to worry about the internal affairs of these territories. Now he misses the Maritan star who is far away from the heaven star, and he doesn't know how well he and everyone are now? Allen patted his head and took back the spirit of not knowing how far to fly. Gris looked at him and coughed dryly: "Actually, in terms of management talents. It's hard to say far away, but if you're near, you have someone to choose right now."

"Who?"

"Melani."

"Melani?" Alan hadn't heard of the name, with a look of confusion.

Gris explained: "Melani was once the chief consul of Gurant, and it can be said that he is a close associate of Gurant. But a few years ago, the two fell out because of some things, and Melanie was even more affected by the ancient Rand was thrown into the prison and still hasn't seen the sun. This man is average, but he does have a hand in management. Mocdan has contributed to him today. If Allen-sama can make him use it, I believe this person can do better than me."

"I think about it." Allen said.

After Grith left, Allen called the butler. This butler has served Gurant for many years and knows a lot about the former city lord. When Allen asked about Melanie, the butler said in detail. Melanie, a man who can stand out from the Baers who admire force, has his own extraordinary features. When Gulant was appointed by the empire to Mokdan as the city lord, the city was far less prosperous than it is today, and it can even be said to be depressed.

Although as the southern gateway of the empire, Moying Nation has a certain resource tilt in Mokdan, but these resources are mostly used in the army and city defense. After all, this is the true meaning of Mokdan's existence. After Gurant came to this city, Melanie made a number of long-term plans for the city, including mining contacts with the wasteland, the cultivation of local commercial banks in Mokdan, and the construction of mining-related workshops. Wait. At first, Gurant didn’t necessarily really value Melanie. He turned his eyes on the plan he made. He neither fully supported nor denied it all. He only allocated part of Melanie’s funds and ignored it. Do not ask.

Unexpectedly a few years

Down, it really gave Melanie some results. Only then did Gurant change his original intention and strongly support Melanie, thus laying the foundation for the prosperity of Mokdan today. It is no exaggeration to say that Melanie can be seen in every corner of the city, and he has indeed paid a lot for this city. However, just a few years ago, the suspicious Gurant began to suspect that Melanie was in his pocket. So from suspicion to suspicion, and then to rupture, in just one year, Gurant's trust in this cronies has disappeared.

Then Melanie was thrown into the jail. If it weren’t for Melanie’s relationship with Mokdan’s chamber of commerce workshops, Gurant would have to go to the jail to "consult" him every once in a while. The man called Gurant to kill. Now that Gulante is dead, if Gris hadn't mentioned it to Allen, then this man named Melanie would mostly be sitting in his cell.

Allen decided to go to the prison tomorrow to meet this man named Melanie, but he thought of another question, how did Grice know this man? It hasn't been a day since this old man came to Mokdan. Naturally, it is impossible to know so many things. The only explanation is that the legacy has been paying attention to the empire, especially this southern gateway.

The next day, Allen came to Morcdan’s prison in a road truck. Mokdan’s prison is surprisingly small, poorly equipped, and few guards. Allen doubts that such a prison can hold a real recidivist? But when I think about it, Mokdan is neither the frontline of the war, so naturally there are no prisoners of war As for ordinary criminals, if it is a minor offense, it is not necessary to catch it; if it is a major offense, it is killed. After much deliberation, this prison was probably built for Melanie.

Allen got the lesser half.

When the prison director saw Ellen, he almost leaped to the floor and kissed his feet. He grinned at his big mouth and asked with a grin, "What is the wind that brought the adult."

Allen said directly: "I want to see Melanie."

"Yes, yes, there is no one good to see here except Melanie." The warden smiled and personally led Allen to the prison.

In the deepest cell of the prison, Alan saw Melanie through a screen on the outer wall of the cell. The former consul, now a prisoner, does not look much depressed, and his clothes are considered clean. It seems that although Gurant threw him into the prison, he didn't abuse him much. Of course, this is probably because Melanie still has the value to use, and Gurant would do this.

When the warden opened the gate, Melanie looked up. When he glanced over Allen, he looked a little dazed. The other person was in prison and probably didn't know what happened outside. The warden said to him: "Mr. Melanie, Lord Allen came to see you. Oh, yes. Now Mokdan is already Lord Allen's territory."

"Domain?" Melanie whispered: "So, you are not an imperial general?"

Allen nodded and made a gesture. The warden retired wittily and closed the door, so Alan and Melanie were the only two in the room. Allen briefly introduced his identity, and then said: "Mr. Melanie, I want to release you. In exchange, you have to manage Mocdan for me. I don't know what you want?"

Melanie didn't have any expression on his face, but calmly asked, "What if I refuse?"
