Ford heard Renard's screams in front of him, thought something was happening, and immediately rode forward to investigate the situation.

However, when he heard the second half of the song that was a little out of tune, he couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth and muttered in a low voice: "Damn, just sing, sing, how can it sound like a howl." ”

Christopher nodded approvingly: "Although he is very talented, I have to admit that he really has no talent for singing." ”

With Renard's voice, the whole grassland became lively, and many students began to show their singing skills, wanting to express themselves as much as possible in front of the people they liked.

As a result, Lei Ye's screams seem to be less obvious, but they still have a very unique penetration.

Four days later, after a difficult trek, everyone finally arrived at Moonlight Town, located on the outskirts of the Warcraft Forest, before evening.

This town is the only human settlement within a radius of dozens of miles, although it is only a town, and it calls itself a small town, but the actual area is not small, more than the city of abundance.

There are several large villages around the town, making the entire area have a permanent population of fifty or sixty thousand, which, combined with the constant stream of adventurers, mercenaries, and merchants, makes the town seem overcrowded.

Because Moonlight Town is located on the edge of the Warcraft Forest, it has been attacked by wild beasts or Warcraft for a long time, so in order to avoid causing losses to people, the surrounding walls are built extremely high, six or seven meters long.

The architecture of the town is also very unique, perhaps because of its proximity to the forest, and the houses are mostly made of wood, but not planks, but whole wood, which is very strong.

In addition, Moonlight Town is one of the few self-made cities in the Empire of Constantinople, and the town and the surrounding lands all belong to the same family, the House of Windsor.

More than 200 years ago, in order to expand the territory, the emperor at that time issued a horse staking policy, enclosing the 840,000 square kilometers of land in Jinsiliu Province into thousands of pieces, and planting corresponding flags on each piece of land.

As long as the imperial nobles captured the banner, they could become the masters of that land and enjoy complete autonomy for up to a hundred years.

At that time, the province of Golden Silk Willow was still part of the orcs of the Boleton grassland, but after this decree was issued, tens of thousands of empty nobles responded to the call, and they recruited troops everywhere, wanting to follow the imperial army to expand the territory and do a career.

Thus, in just thirty years, the territory of the Constantinople Empire expanded by more than 800,000 square kilometers.

The million-strong army of the empire was almost coerced by the private armies of the nobles, constantly advancing towards the Boleton grassland, beating the orcs to cry and crying mother, and retreating directly to the depths of the grassland.

Since then, thousands of nobles and their families, guards, and servants have taken root here, laying the foundation for the future prosperity and prosperity of the province of Jinsiliu.

At that time, the Earl of Paul Windsor, who possessed the strength and pioneering spirit of a high-ranking legendary warrior, crossed thousands of mountains and rivers with his followers to this originally very desolate place and seized the ownership of this land.

The land is very fertile and rich in mineral resources, and the Windsor family began to grow rapidly.

Over the course of two hundred years and generations, the Windsor family has developed this barren and destitute land into what it is today.

A hundred years later, the empire began to gradually regain control of the province of Kinwillow, but in order to avoid a massive backlash from the nobles, it did not take back all its rights, but let it go into a semi-self-controlled state.

That is, the aristocracy was still responsible for the administration of local affairs, officials could appoint themselves, but they were not allowed to have private armies, and the local laws had to be synchronized with the laws of the state, and taxes had to be paid every year, etc.

However, if it is so easy to take back the right to rule, there will always be a few stubborn resistance, and there will also be those who disobey the yang and the yin, and then there are fish like Moonlight Town.

It has to be said that the ancestors of Count Al Owen were very wise and chose the dangerous and remote edge of the Warcraft Forest as the place where the family thrived.

When the Empire tried to reclaim its rule, it found it too remote to be of any value other than food and a small amount of minerals.

Moreover, this place is extremely dangerous due to its proximity to the Monster Forest, and if it really wants to collect the rights of the nobles, the empire will have to send another army to garrison it.

It's awkward.

Compared with the aristocracy's own support for the army garrison border town and the empire's own supply of the army garrison border town, the former seems to be more suitable, so several cities that are deeper into the Boleton grassland, including Moonlight Town, have gloriously become self-made cities.

The current manager of Moonlight Town is Earl Al Owen Windsor, a tall man in his forties, who speaks and dresses in accordance with the standards of the old aristocracy.

At this time, the other party was sitting in the office, frowning and listening to his subordinates' reports, and it was rare for an old nobleman like him to be diligent in political affairs.

Just as Count Iowen bowed his head in contemplation, a tall guard suddenly trotted in from outside the door and reported: "Lord Earl, a trial party from the Academy of Constantinople has just arrived in the town, and the female mentor who leads the team wants to see you. ”

"Mentor?" Count Iowen frowned, and then commanded, "In that case, let her in." ”

After speaking, he rubbed his forehead a little tiredly, and said to a few knights who were arguing endlessly: "I will carefully consider the matter of the mine development rights, and you must not make any outrageous moves until a conclusion is reached." ”

The discovery of iron ore in the realm was good news, but Count Al Owen was a headache.

Salt and iron are often huge profits, and many people want to get a piece of the pie, although the land belongs to the Windsor family, but there must always be a home to the mining rights, right?

These knights are fighting over mining rights, and those who dare to compete for interests are all descendants of the Windsor family.

However, in the face of interests, this bit of family affection is not so important.

Seeing that the count's face was unhappy, everyone did not dare to continue entanglement, and left with cold faces to each other.

After about five minutes, Alice entered the office under the guidance of the guards.

Now the count's brow was furrowed, and he was leisurely sipping tea, and when he saw Alice, his eyes widened suddenly, and he exclaimed, "Alice?"

"Long time no see, Count Iowen. Alice smiled and nodded.

"I didn't expect it to be you, we haven't seen each other in ten years, have we?" Count Al Owen stood up and walked quickly to Alice, reaching out and gesturing under his chest, "I remember the last time we met, you were only that tall. ”

"Yes, you have a good memory, Lord Count. Alice was still smiling.

"Don't call me Lord Earl, call me uncle, if I remember not misremembering. Earl Iowen thought for a moment and said.

The relationship between the nobles is so complicated that a small earl in a remote corner can actually have a relationship with the royal family.
