"How can there be such a thing? If someone gets the land and sells it and then leaves, wouldn't it be a bamboo basket for nothing? McKennello asked with a smile.

What is Liege?

If you have land, you are the lord!

Some nobles are even willing to demote their titles in order to obtain a piece of land, and most lords also live on the output of the land. There is almost no such thing as giving away land to civilians for free.

"How can there be such a cheap thing?!"

The elder Blair said with a smile, seeing a 'sure so' expression on McKennello's face, and said slowly, "The land must be given, and you can also enjoy the preferential policy of tax exemption for a certain number of years." However, there is a very strict restriction on these lands, that is, they cannot be bought, sold, or leased for 20 years. If it is violated, it will be taken back by the lord's house. ”

"Huh?"

McKennello was stunned for a moment, the idea was really clever, it was to tie people tightly to the ground. He became interested in the policies of the new lord.

Seeing his expression, the elder Blair raised his voice and said: "There is an additional notice after this notice, all immigrants who introduce more than 100 people to settle in the Cordillera territory, whether they are engaged in business or farming, can enjoy certain monetary incentives or tax exemptions. ”

"Isn't this new lord afraid of recruiting some prisoners?" McKennello asked tentatively.

"It depends on what kind of prisoner it is."

Blair Sr. said: "If it is a traitor or other criminal who has committed the most heinous crimes, of course it must be screened out. From now on, the Cordillera Plateau is no longer a haven for criminals. However, if they are fugitive slaves, they can also obtain the status of freemen, because the lord is an abolitionist. ”

He blinked, and then said, "There is also a second notice, that is, a police station should be established in the territory, and police officers should be recruited to be responsible for maintaining law and order in the territory. ”

"Isn't this a matter for the city defense forces?" McKennello wondered.

"So yes. The lord felt that the city defense army was dull, and he had already begun to reorganize the city defense army. Then he was tasked with cleaning up the Cordillera territory of bandits. You probably don't know it yet. ”

Old Blair lowered his voice and said: "The territory has changed greatly, the original military officer has been ordered to be arrested and executed because of his collusion with the Blood Sun Thieves Group, and there are several adults because of corruption. were executed or exiled. The deputy commander of the city defense army, Rotimack. Thorne resisted arrest. Killed on the spot, the commander of Han Feng. Chi was also transferred to the newly established police station as the director, and I heard that he was so angry that he was recuperating at home. ”

"Sick?" McKennello's eyes flickered. But he didn't say anything. He said to that Han Feng. Chi knows very well, although the surface is a warm appearance, but the city is very deep. If there is a problem of corruption in the city defense army, this former commander is probably the biggest moth, and it seems that the new lord has been fooled by him.

"Old Blair, what are the requirements for this recruitment of police?" McKennello asked.

"I knew you would be interested."

Old Brower said with a smile: "The first is to be familiar with certain martial arts, and those with military or mercenary experience are preferred, with no bad or criminal records, and mainly male......"

"Recruiting female police officers?" McKennello interjected.

"Of course. If you encounter a female thief, isn't the male policeman taking advantage of others? Old Blair said rightly, it seemed that he was still very satisfied with the new lord, or at least his tavern was thriving because of it.

"The new lord is so generous, is he very rich?" McKennello asked.

"She's a magician, she must be rich, right? However, "

Old Blair blinked, "The land is ready-made, as long as you go to the wasteland, do you still need her to pay?" ”

McKennello nodded, and asked jokingly, "But this notice says 'Recruitment targets are regardless of region or race', isn't it even the goblins who are recruited?" ”

Old Blair shrugged his shoulders and replied, "I don't know if you recruit goblins or not, but there are half-orcs and half-elves in the lord's guard, which shows that she doesn't care about races, and these guys will be blessed in the future, and it is said that some shops have even begun to hire half-orcs as associates, in order to attract customers." ”

"Old Blair, don't say I don't warn you. There is nothing wrong with other shops using orcs, but you sell wine here, and if someone borrows alcohol to make trouble, it will be a big trouble. McKennello drank the wine from his glass, paid the bill, and then turned back to his companions: "Hurry up, you guys, let's go." ”

"Yes." Several of his companions agreed, hurriedly finished their glasses, and got up to leave with McKennello.

"That's right......" Old Blair is still struggling with whether to invite a half-orc guy, it seems that there are many half-orcs coming out of the mountains and forests now, whether to invite or not?

"I'm sorry, sir, if you have business, please go to the relevant department of the city hall to handle it, if it is a private matter, you need to make an appointment." The orc soldier standing at the gate of the lord's mansion said politely to McKennello.

Is this a rude and savage half-orc?

McKennello lost his mind for a while, but he quickly came to his senses and said politely, "I would like to ask you to inform the lord, I am a mercenary captain, and there are some things I want to discuss with the lord." ”

The orc soldiers obviously enjoyed the politeness of the visitor, but they still refused to report: "Please go to the town hall for official business." ”

"What's the matter?"

Just as McKennello was about to continue the negotiations, a loud voice sounded, and an old man in good spirits stepped out of the lord's mansion.

"Lord Butler, this person has no appointment, and he wants to see the lord." The orc soldiers hurriedly reported it.

The person who came was none other than Bruno. Will, he glanced McKennello up and down, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he concealed it well, and said lightly: "This gentleman, if there is any official business that the lord needs to ask, please go to the city hall to contact the relevant personnel, and they will convey it for you." ”

Hearing the soldier's name, McKennaro knew the identity of the other party, and he bowed slightly: "Lord Steward, it is a matter of immigration for nearly a thousand or more people, and I hope to be able to meet with the lord and save some intermediate links of misunderstandings." ”

Nearly a thousand or more?

Bruno. Will was also stunned, of course he knew about Hathaway's announcement, but now ...... He frowned: "Sir, it's not that you don't report it, Lord Lord really can't pull away now, and even we can't bother." ”

"I can wait." McEnnello reported his hotel to Bruno. Will: "Steward, if your lord has time, please send someone to this address to inform me, my name is Gith. McKennello, please! ”

"I remember, Mr. McEnnello." Bruno. Will nodded.

"Thank you!" Guise. McEnnello turned to leave.

Bruno. Will watched with some curiosity as his figure disappeared around the corner, before turning back.

Guise. McKennello turned a street, where several of his companions were waiting, and when they saw him approaching, they all stepped forward.

"My lord, that lord won't see you?" A young man asked angrily.

"No, she just didn't have time, I've already left the address." Guise. McKennello replied.

"My lord, we can take care of ourselves as mercenaries, so why send someone to the fence?" Another companion asked, somewhat reluctantly.

"Can you take care of yourself?"

Guise. A wry smile appeared on the corner of McKennello's mouth: "In the past five years, how many brothers have we died, and how many orphans and widows have we left behind?" Is it about being able to take care of yourself? Now there is a rare opportunity that we at least do not have to sell ourselves into slavery. ”

"Then you ......"

"Wait, this opportunity is not to be missed." Guise. McEnnello said firmly.

……

Hathaway really didn't have time, and after making announcements and dealing with some trivial matters, she went into retreat again...... Of course, this so-called retreat is not the legend that sitting there can be disturbed by sand, and when disturbed, it will go mad or something.

Not so strict.

She just needs to devote herself wholeheartedly, eat food, drink water, but ignore other things, even the food in the space is harvested with the help of veterans.

Although the power of the city defense and the city hall was already in his hands, she knew that this was the most dangerous time, and there was still a thorn in the back of the dark region, and she would soon have to explore the castle of Perseus, so it was urgent to improve her own strength.

At present, the Yuanyang Imperial Sword Technique has achieved a small success, especially the nine-style flying knife technique with a flying sword, which has greatly increased its power. However, after cultivating to the peak of the ninth layer, the Yuanyang Qi Refining Technique seemed to have entered a period of accumulation...... Hathaway felt like she was pouring water into a bottomless container, and she couldn't do it anyway. Therefore, her cultivation this time was mainly to open up the ninth qi vein and achieve the Silver Three-Ring Martial Artist. At the same time, he also wants to build a fourth-level magic and become a fourth-level magician.

In the cultivation secret room of the City Lord's Mansion, Hathaway sat on a homemade futon like an old monk, and in her body, the divine punishment fighting qi was surging, rushing along the ninth qi vein like a rolling river, and three silver fighting rings appeared on her body...... After more than ten days of hard work, she finally broke through the bottleneck, successfully opened up the ninth qi vein, and became a silver three-ring martial artist.

After a few moments, she jumped to her feet, her body as swift as a leopard, her fist as fierce as a hammer, and unleashed the Five Elements Fist. Her body was filled with a strong but continuous feeling, and these two different sensations contained powerful, invincible power.

Casting the Five Elements Fist with fighting spirit is even more powerful than simply using internal force...... Oh, now that the internal force and the Yuanyang Qi Alchemy Technique have been fused, it is even more violent and powerful anyway. But the fighting skills that the veteran helped her choose are also good, making full use of the characteristics of the divine punishment and fighting spirit, and each has its own ingenuity with the Five Elements Fist. (To be continued......)
