When Duke woke up from his bed the next day, he was full of doubts about the unfamiliar environment and furniture around him, and he thought that he hadn't woken up, but finally realized that he had become a homeless homeless man, and now he was temporarily living in a camp camp and was a neighbor with Keno.

After rolling over, Duke fumbled for his groceries and washed them with difficulty, then pulled open the door of his room.

Due to Duke's special orders, there were no soldiers guarding the door of his house in the morning as in the castle, and now they are all transferred to protect in secret, and most of them are also neighbors with Keno, so it seems that the Keno family should feel quite happy, and there are so many good neighbors at once.

The cold wind of early winter swirled in the distance, making Duke shiver at the moment, and at the same time a group of homeless people carrying various tools caught his attention.

I saw that Kino was gathering the other young people with a few young refugees he didn't know, each holding a small piece of wood with different information and arrangements in his hand, and then he followed the arrangement of the detachment and received tools according to the wood chip.

Other elderly people who did not have the strength to work, as well as women and children who did not need to work, also formed a circle and watched their relatives busy from a distance, heading towards unfamiliar places.

Seeing such a scene, Duke remembered that today was the first day that had been arranged for the homeless to start trying to work, and since Randy was sent by Duke to take a dozen of his chosen helpers to other homeless gathering places to publicize, Keno temporarily took his lead place.

On the first day of their stay, all the displaced people knew that work was the only way to get these daily necessities and the warm houses they didn't want to go to where they lived, and they also knew that there was no free lunch in the sky, and the things they exchanged for their labor also made them feel more at ease.

Coupled with Duke's promise that the amount of labor would not be terrible, and that they would not be used as exploitative efforts, they all accepted it in the end, and it was just a human fear that such a scene would arise now.

"Good morning, lord. ”

Just as Duke was looking at the team in the distance, Vlavic had quietly leaned over and greeted Duke with a smile.

"Good morning. Duke smiled and nodded in return, then let open the door, "Come in and talk." ”

When Vlavich was seated, Duke made a cup of hot milk and asked as he took the allotment of white bread, "How are the specific arrangements for the road construction, I just saw that the first batch of displaced people have begun to work one after another." ”

"Everything is going on steadily and Keno is a great helper. Vlavich said with a smile, complimenting Keno by the way, "However, we are still understaffed at the moment, and we have not been able to start from both the Connaughton area and the fort side at the same time as planned, and the completion date may be delayed a lot." ”

"There's no good way to do that at the moment, just wait for news from Randy. ”

Duke was quite optimistic about this, he didn't believe in such tempting conditions, coupled with the fact that such a generous and kind lord of his own could not recruit anyone to help him build roads, and he was afraid that his camp would not be built enough to accept people in the end.

"That's really the way it is. Vlavich answered, then turned to his most important question: "What do you think about the assassination last night?"

"Thoughts?" Duke touched his chin and was silent for a moment, "Actually, it's not hard to guess where the assassins came from, we didn't offend many people, it's just that I didn't expect the other party's actions to be so big." ”

"Indeed, only Viscount Stern would do such a thing. ”

Both of them knew that the assassins were sent by the forces over there, but they didn't have any evidence and went directly to Viscount Stearns to question him.

"I have discussed with Lenia to strengthen the protection around you, and your itinerary will also minimize going out in the future......"

"Wait!"

Before Vlavich could list the security advice he had discussed with Lenia, Duke interrupted him first, frowning, and said, "Why do you say this to make me feel like I'm in prison." ”

"There's no way around it, I heard that the other party's strength is not weak, and we can't catch the other party's move except for Lenia and Her Highness the Holy Maiden, so we can only use such a stupid method. ”

Vlavich was also quite helpless, the existence of extraordinary power was too unbalanced, so that the security plan that could still be barely used had to be abandoned, and the final choice was to ask Duke to reduce the way to go out, and Lenia to take the way to guard in a not too spacious space, and it didn't seem to be able to protect it thoroughly.

"Where there is a reason to guard against thieves all the time, we have to find an opportunity to kill this assassin in one fell swoop. ”

After listening to Vlavic's explanation, Duke still shook his head and disagreed, whether it was to inspect the road repair site or accept new displaced people or other things, he needed to go out and show up, it was impossible to be scared out because of a small assassin, so it would be too choking.

"But where do we have such strength and opportunity now?"

"There's no rush for this, I agreed with Agnes yesterday ......"

Knock knock!

Before Duke could finish speaking, there was a soft knock on the door, and it was very strange.

Duke and Vlavich in the room looked at each other, a little confused, and Vlavich suddenly said, "Lord, I'd better open the door." ”

"No, if it were someone else, the guards outside wouldn't let him come. ”

Duke, however, shook his head and refused his kindness, and got up to open the door, which had become very hurried and irritable as the time had dragged on for a long time.

Listening to the noise outside, Duke pulled the door open.

The moment it opened, a long pole poked at him in front of him, but fortunately he had been vigilant, and tilted his head to avoid the fatal disfigurement blow.

"You're going to die!

Taking advantage of this flash, Duke also saw clearly who it was, it was Agnes, who had just been mentioned to Vlavic, and she was standing at the foot of the steps with a long wooden pole and poking it at the end of the pole.

You can imagine what kind of posture and technique she used to knock on the door just now, which is why the voice is so weird.

Duke, who had regained his footing, looked Agnes up and down, and suddenly asked her a little ignorantly, "Are you dressed like this, are you going on an outing?"
