In the year 719 of the dark calendar, the second week of the second month of spring thunders and bright sun, warm wind.

"I want cool rain to fall in the desert and bright flowers to bloom in the swamps. ”

"I want everyone to hear a beautiful story before going to bed, and everyone to walk through the sea of suffering and go ashore with hope. I hope that every story will be happy, and I hope that ...... I hate it!"

Beth was standing at the window of the Merit and Coin Exchange Point, watching the people on the street. With his chin propped up in his hands, he hummed a brisk song in his mouth, and his slightly swaying figure was suddenly hugged from behind.

"What do you want to eat at night?" Thor bit her earlobe and tugged at it a few times.

"As long as it's made by the lord himself, I like to eat it. Beth tilted her head and rubbed Thor against her cheek.

"Eat everything, yes, I'll sell you anyway, many people like fat maids. Thor teased.

"Then I can only cry sadly. Beth stroked the hand around her waist and swayed as Thor embraced her.

Recently, Beth has left her job at the distribution point to take charge of the coin and merit exchange stall. I thought it would be very hard and busy, but unexpectedly it was much more deserted than I imagined, and it seems that most of the people in the territory have retained their merits, which is a good thing.

After a moment of warmth with Beth, Thor walked down the streets of the territory, answering the greetings of the people passing by.

It's something Thor does every day, observing to determine what else needs attention and improvement in the territory.

Today's street is finally truly a street, no longer a muddy dirt road, but paved with neat stone slabs. However, when the carriages in the territory are speeding away, these roads will have to be renovated and widened.

Pushing open the door of a shop, a string of bells rings to welcome customers.

"Your Excellency. The old tailor who was hanging his clothes came up to him.

"Are you still used to life here, and how is business?" Thor waved his hand.

The old tailor looked gentlemanly, with a spotless fitted gown, a piercing eye, and a pair of glasses hanging from a thin chain. He is not a native of the territory, but has only recently settled in Free City with his family.

"Thanks to the protection of the lord, life is very good, the people here are also very kind, and the business is not bad. ”

"Business will get better and better, at present, you are the first and only high-end ready-to-wear store in the territory, seize this business opportunity, and it will not be so easy to compete with more people in the future." Thor smiled, then pulled out his black coat.

"Can I make this dress? Thor shook off his black coat, which was a little old.

The old tailor took the coat in his hand, and looked at the fabric and workmanship closely, and quickly came to a conclusion.

"Yes, my lord, the color and style are fine, but the similar fabric may not be available, and I propose to use a more high-end and durable fabric. ”

"Okay, don't be too flashy, I want four, and the number of pockets of the clothes should be the same, how much does it cost?" asked Saul.

"This ...... If you have four pieces, you only need to get them after a week, and there is no cost. The old tailor replied.

"You're welcome, as much as you want. Thor smiled and stretched out his hand, spreading a large amount of silver coins on the counter.

"It's too much, it's too much, lord, or it's ...... like this"

The door of the "Jingle Bell ......" ready-to-wear store was pushed open, and two shiitake mushrooms rushed in.

"Ha, I've been staring at you for days, and if it weren't for Raz's sharp eyes today, I would have almost been fooled by you. Linda clasped her hands.

"You won, and I feel like I'm going to pay the bill, and you pick it yourself. Saul waved at Linda and Raz.

"Don't pick it, I want this. Linda pointed to a gown hanging on the wall, it was clear that she had been hanging around the new store a lot, and it seemed that even the goal was clear.

"I suggest that you should order it so that the size can fit your body, and help them make a set for each of them. Also, there is a temporary task, and I will quietly get the size of your sister Beth in a while, and there will be rewards for doing a good job. "Thor has released the mission.

Hearing that there was a quest reward, Linda and Raz nodded desperately.

"Brother Thor, can I get an extra hat?" asked Raz in a low voice.

"No problem, pick your favorite. Thor made a quick payment and finally escaped from the surveillance of the two little shiitake mushrooms.

I casually pushed open the door of a new store next to it, but I didn't expect to meet another shiitake mushroom.

Entering the store, Thor was subconsciously stunned, his eyes swept back and forth a few times, and even the whole person exited the store door, looking up at the book-like door emblem on the door. It's a library!

That's the joy of patrolling your territory, and you're always stumbling into something new that you haven't even noticed.

Shamia was wearing a white square-capped cloth hat and stepping on a ladder in front of the bookcase, dusting the books with a cloth duster, when a suspicious figure suddenly rushed into the store.

The family had only settled in the territory a week earlier, and their mother ran a flower shop, and the library had been left to them by their father.

This guy who rushed in looked dressed okay, and he was good-looking, but he just felt like a thief. He came in and looked around, exited like a psycho, and then opened the door and came in, don't break my door.

Should you call the patrol on the street? Shamia was still struggling, but she didn't expect this guy to scream first.

"Who's coming, where's the patrol?" Sol shouted as he opened the door and into the street.

What did he call for? It couldn't be a robbery, was it? Shamia was bluffed. No, he's calling a patrol.

Soon, a patrol member ran over.

"My lord, what do you command?" the patrolman asked cautiously.

"Who did this shop? Oh, I mean who brought it, and if someone else was there, let him come here and see me. Thor smiled and waved his hand.

Shamia covered her mouth in shock on the ladder, almost not standing firmly, this is the lord of this territory?

Jaime had just completed the handover of a farmer's settlement when he was suddenly summoned, which made him extremely nervous, as it was said that this was a separate summons from the lord. I seem to be ...... Didn't make any mistakes, did you......? Didn't you?

It wasn't until the patrol arrived at the library door that Jaime realized what was going on.

This mother-daughter duo, the mother runs the flower shop and the daughter runs the library. From the point of view of profit, flowers and books, unlike the production professions of cobblers, do not seem to bring any real benefits to the territory.

Jaime was a little hesitant when he approached the family at that time, but in order to realize his dream of a watch as soon as possible, he finally took the plunge and received a high reward according to the standard of merchant settlement, and it seems that now he has happened.

"Lordship...... My lord..."Looking at the figure in front of the bookshelf, Jaime was sweating profusely.

Thor closed the book in his hand and put it back on the shelf, stumbling along the way, how long had it been since he had a chance to sit still and read. Turning to look at Jaime, Thor was a little strange.

"What are you nervous about? I'm calling you here to tell you you're doing well, you're doing well!" Thor patted him on the shoulder.

"Yes, my lord, next time I'll ...... Huh, sir, you say I'm doing a good job?" Jaime looked up in shock.

"Yes, the territory is developing, and there are a lot of details that I can't take into account one by one. Things like the florist and the library I didn't expect before, but you did a great job and supplemented my shortcomings. ”

"Just like flowers, although they are more decorative than goods, they can make a difficult place a better place. As for books, their value is even greater, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they change my fate, and I had to read them every day during my life in the monastery. ”

Thor felt a little emotionally about the past, and suddenly a cloth bag appeared in his hand and handed it to Jaime.

"This is a hundred silver coins, which is my personal reward for you, and you can work hard to change your life in the future. ”

"Thank you, Lord Lord, it's just ...... Can you not be... That one... Clock—" Jaime took it in his hand with trepidation and joy, but he spoke with a little chuckle.

He originally wanted to say if he could do without this reward and exchange it for a clock, but suddenly realized that a clock with nine hundred silver coins was obviously far from enough. And there was a girl next to him who was staring at this side, which made him blush even more.

Thor smiled slightly and pulled out one of the clocks he was using.

"I've used this for a while, but it's not too old, so if you don't dislike it, use it. The clocks in the territory weren't magical, just to give some goblins something to do, and the high prices were just to slaughter outsiders. ”

"Thank you, sir!" said Jaime bent deeply, taking the clock in his hand and caressing it, the lord had used.

When he got back to the street, Jaime found that he still had the hundred silver coins in his hand, damn it! how did he forget to return the silver coins to the lord, would it leave an impression of greed, Jaime was torn between gains and losses.

Reading more books can change fate?

Jaime was secretly determined to work more diligently in the future, and to read more books when he had time to keep up with the Lord's pace.

In the bookstore, Shamia stood on a ladder and looked at Thor suspiciously.

"Are you really a lord?"

This tone is a little mushroom who is not afraid of himself, it should be because they are about the same age, Sol summed up the reason. This is also good news, at least it shows that he is young and full of charm, and Saul immediately found his place in the right place.

"Do you have an opinion?" Thor tilted his head and smiled.

"I'm Shamia. ”

"Oh. ”

"I own this library. ”

"Oh. ”

"Then I ran here to open a store to support your territory, is there any reward?"

"Yes, three words. ”

"What three words?" said Shamia, blinking.

"Think beautiful!" Thor smiled and raised the book in his hand.

"I'll take this book back and read it, and I'll come back to you often in the future. ”

When Samya jumped off the ladder and chased to the door, she was almost smashed in the face by the closed door.

"Damn it, you just think beautifully, and books can't be borrowed. What about the lords?Can the lords bully the commoners into not giving money?Next time, I'll blow your dog's head!" Shamia stomped her foot and vented at the silent door.
