Chapter 175: Bearing
(Cat pounces Chinese http://www.mpzw.com.)
www.mpzw.com) Anne and Sharia, who had been afraid to get too close to the city and realized it later, finally came to Xueman, but it was a lively place.
The traces of the war remain, but they are being repaired - full of heavily shackled men, who are constantly repairing damaged farmsteads and paving new roads outside the city, under the supervision of a handful of soldiers.
The once dangerous entrances and exits of the city have been completely bulldozed and widened. Instead, one after another is under construction, and from the frame, it looks like a blockhouse that mimics the Danmoro architectural style.
Anne soon sees her former friends who have traveled together, though she seems to have shrunk.
Alice waved to Anne from afar, and then returned to her work with enthusiasm...... Demolition of ruins or buildings that do not conform to the new plan...... With a small cannon.
She is skillful in loading and firing, and the shells are also very accurate...... At first glance, Alice looks like a seasoned gunner...... If it weren't for the strange excitement she had before every launch, and the whole person hugged the barrel and felt the terrible vibration.
Anne stood there and watched for a while, and when she saw that Alice was fully engaged in her self-created ** movement, she left.
Entering the city and walking through the bustling streets, she soon noticed that the locals were very polite to her—because of her travels with Sharia, the inhabitants thought of her as a young lady from the same place as the Crusaders.
The average Snowman seems to see the Crusaders as guardians and liberators of a common faith compared to their hated, chain-laden brethren, and the Crusaders have done nothing unsavory under Loria's extreme restraint - and as a result, the men who have been shouted at in Azeroth have gained considerable respect in the Otherworld.
And Loria, as the new lord of Xueman, has never been loved before, and everyone who talks about her is full of praise...... Although compared to a strong and brave man, the cute little girl lord or something, always makes people feel unreliable and insecure...... But one of the policies she announced won the hearts of the people and was enough to reverse a bad situation.
Anne stopped in front of the wooden signs hanging around the city and read.
"Since the former Earl and all his legitimate heirs have died at the hands of the rebels, the title of Earl of Snowman is abolished, and Loria Mograini, the Governor appointed by the Church of the Light, assumes the duties of lordship. ”
The 'Church of the Holy Light' was originally the product of Loria's single-handedly created zào, and it was a little funny to entrust herself...... Anne dismantled her friend's desk in her heart, but she also thought it was a good idea...... Although ordinary people do not bother with the difference between 'count' and 'governor', this somewhat solves the problem of the legitimacy of her rule, and theoretically breaks away from the entanglement with the rebels and the empire.
Anne then reads: "Any disturbance of the peace is punishable by fines and imprisonment." ”
Maintaining order is the duty of the lord, and there is nothing to say.
"From today, as long as you go to the former Earl's Castle and the current Holy Light Church to register, you can join the Holy Light Church. ”
Anne goes on to read: "Under the authority of the church, any believer is exempt from any taxes. ”
With the ** of interests, presumably even people who have an indifferent attitude towards ethereal beliefs will not mind putting on a name...... But when they are in that environment, sooner or later false faith will become true faith.
The most important thing is that the vast majority of ordinary people who have been exempted from heavy taxes will probably pray day and night for Loria to be healthy and her rule to last......
……
Located at the highest point in the city, the castle, which was used as a church, is no longer accessible to residents.
Navigating through the unusually crowded hall, Anne followed the instructions to the corridor on the second floor, where she soon found the one that belonged to Loria among the many rooms—the big white fox crouched in the doorway, yawning boredly.
"Ahri. Anne greeted the fox, who looked at her and twisted his head elsewhere.
Still so unfriendly, Anne sighed helplessly, and just as she was about to push the door in, a girl with long beige hair who was hiding behind the big fox and quietly stared at her.
"Stupid!"
After saying that, she shrank behind Ahri and hid.
Is it a captured rebel? But why such a young child...... Noticing the chain around the girl's neck, Anne frowned, pushed the door open, and walked in.
Before she could see the layout of the room, a flash of pink flashed and pounced on her.
"Oh oh oh~" Loria, who hugged Anne, said happily, "Long time no see." ”
Anne, who didn't react for a while, froze in place, wanting to say something, but after a while, she still raised her arms and hugged Loria tightly.
"Anyway, I've recently become a vampire. Loria twitched her little nose around Anne's neck as she spoke, asking, "Can I take a bite?"
"Ah, yes. Anne patted Loria on the back and replied, "No." ”
"I always think it's very fragrant. ”
Saying this, Loria couldn't help but lick it, and then was pushed away.
"Are you a dog?"
"Suck it and you won't get pregnant!"
"Don't!"
"Stingy!"
"Dead Lori!"
"Do you want to fight, stupid!"
"Come on, kill Lori!"
Anne, who said this, suddenly stopped rummaging for her weapon and said, "By the way...... I've finally found out the culprit who has been unable to catch pets for a long time!"
"What!" Loria exclaimed, and a small wrench slipped out of her hand and fell to the floor.
"Khrushchev!" Anne called out as she opened the door and into the hallway outside. After a while, a grizzly bear cautiously approached the room, guarding Ahri.
"Whoa......," said Anne, pointing to the black bear, "this is the pet I caught in the snowy forest...... Sure enough, the culprit is that the animals of Azeroth are not compatible with me!"
With a faint sigh of relief, Loria curled the corners of her mouth behind Anne and said, "It seems that this is the case...... Congratulations, my friend. ”
She also deliberately walked out of the room, smiled and waved at the black bear, "Hello." ”
The black bear, called Khrushchev, looked very scared......
……
At night, Nomi wanders around the castle as usual.
A burst of fragrance attracted her.
Nomi dragged the tinkling chains and followed the scent. Finally, three figures sitting around a campfire were found in the lookout at the top of the castle.
The other party also quickly discovered her, and they came over to surround Nomi.
"What to do, chef?"
"Kill her, President. ”
"But...... But I'm a little reluctant. ”
"Make up your mind, President! Our secret organization, the Midnight Barbecue, must not be known!"
Ay?
Nomi looked at the people surrounding her with her fingers in her eyes and asked, "Are you playing some role-playing game?"
"Meow~"
"Just do as the king says...... Pull her in. ”
……
"Master, what kind of meat is this?"
"Shut up, member, call me president...... Plus, it's bear meat. ”
