Chapter 110: Wealth and Wealth Should Return to Their Hometowns
Two days later, Mullen finally set foot on the land of the Lott Plains.
There is an essential difference between the land of the Lott Plains and the land of Bohemia, the land of Bohemia is fertile black soil, and the land of Lott Plains is black with a little red, like rust scattered on the ground, more like blood spilled on this land.
After entering Rowland, the population became significantly larger, and although it could not be compared with the southern part of Bohemia, it was still much denser than the northernmost part of Bohemia.
Othello saw Mullen's confusion and said to Mullen: "The population of the Lotte Plain has not been large due to the land, so the leaders of various forces have stipulated that the civilians should not be affected in the process of snatching the chassis, and as long as the civilians pay taxes on time, their living environment must be guaranteed, so although the Lott Plain is still barren and the taxes are still heavy, the population has not changed much. Bohemia County, which is adjacent to the Lott Plains, was not so lucky, and the bandits of the Lott Plains began to invade Bohemia sporadically every harvest season, plundering the grain of Bohemia and making the northern part of Bohemia desolate. โ
After listening to Othello's explanation, Mullen was a little thundered, it turns out that these bandits also understand the truth of sustainable development!
After three more days of walking, Mullen finally came to the outside of Lot, and the defenders in Lott had already been informed by the scouts scattered around Lot, and knew that a group of men and horses were approaching Lot, and the gates of Lott City had long been closed, and the defenders were watching the army under the city in a tight manner.
Captain Reid walked to the front of the team and said to the defenders at the city gate: "Listen to the defenders of the city, I am the captain of the royal city guard, and I am ordered by His Majesty the King to escort His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Roland to take office, and you should quickly open the door to welcome His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Roland." โ
Bob Weir, the tax collector of Lot, had been informed of the arrival of the army as the army approached Lot, and was now watching the army below with the Royalty Praetorian Guard emblem below.
After hearing Reed's shout, Bob Weir stretched out his head to Reed under the city and said, "I am Bob Weir, the tax collector of Rolandshire, in order to prevent thieves from pretending to be His Majesty's messenger, I ask General Reed to shoot His Majesty's appointment letter on the city wall, so that the lower officials can identify the authenticity." โ
Reed said, "No problem, it's as it should be. โ
After saying that, he asked someone to shoot Duran's past appointment letter and Malen's Grand Duke token on the city wall with magic arrows, Bob Weir took the appointment letter and token picked up by the soldiers, examined them carefully, and said to the soldiers at the city gate: "Open the door quickly." โ
Then he walked quickly down the wall.
Once the gates were fully opened, Bob Weir went out to greet Mullen's convoy.
Bob Weir walked up to Mullen's carriage and bowed to Mullen in the carriage, "Bob Will, the most faithful tax collector in Rowland, has seen His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Rowland. โ
Mullen stepped down from the carriage, picked up Bob Weir with both hands, and said, "Your Excellency Will, please get up, you are the mainstay of Rowland County, Rowland County has been able to prosper so much under your leadership for many years, and I should salute you on behalf of Rowland County." โ
Bob Weir said: "His Royal Highness the Grand Duke has won the award, but I am just doing my duty to live up to the trust placed in me by His Majesty the King." โ
The two sides said some more nonsense that did not feed and complimented each other before entering the city of Lott together.
Although the city of Lot has been captured by thieves several times in ten years, and even the county guards of Roland County have died, the city of Lot is still very prosperous.
The prosperity of Lott City is not as good as the royal capital, and even Bohemian City, but in this wild place, Lott City is like a pearl.
Bob Weir hosted a banquet at his mansion to entertain Mullen, accompanied by Mullen's bodyguard Othello, and Captain Reed was also invited, but Reed turned down Bob Will's invitation under the pretext of taking care of the army.
At the banquet, Mullen and Bob Weir touted each other, but they were actually testing each other's bottom line.
Bob Weir understands that this time he can't treat Mullen like he did with the former county guards of Roland County, the former county guards of Roland County were just out-of-gas little nobles, and when he went to Roland County to serve as a county guard, he was assigned, and no one cared about him even if he died.
But Mullen is different, he is not only the new Grand Duke of Roland, but the most important thing is that his grandfather is the kingdom's Minister of Etiquette, a high and powerful position, and Bob Weir will not dare to touch this mold.
King Durรกn underestimated his deterrent power on the Lott Plains, believing that the county warden he had appointed would be bullied like the previous county guards, and even his life would not be guaranteed.
Although the Lotus Plains were located in the wilderness, the three city lords of the Lott Plains had already learned from the merchants that there was an Archduke of Roland who was coming, and they also knew that this Archduke of Roland was also the grandson of the Minister of Etiquette.
Ordinary businessmen certainly did not understand the filthy intercourse between the upper nobility, and a hereditary title of Grand Duke was enough for them to regard the new Grand Duke of Roland as a rookie in their careers.
The arrival of Mullen made the three land snakes on the Lotus Plain think that they had gone too far before, and the kingdom was ready to clean them up, and they all became frightened birds.
The three local snakes put aside their grievances and sat down to discuss the way, and finally decided to buy this Grand Duke of Roland first, if this Grand Duke of Roland accepted his own benefits, it means that there is still a situation of recovery, if not, kill this Grand Duke first, and prepare to resist the kingdom's army together.
King Duran's original intention was to teach the increasingly arrogant Minister of Etiquette a lesson through this canonization, and even did not hesitate to damage the king's authority for this operation, but who knew that the three giants actually understood the king's meaning, so that their actions not only cheapened Mullen, but also destroyed King Duran's original intention.
At this feast, Mullen and Bob Weir came to an agreement that Mullen would not interfere in the internal affairs of the Lott Plains, and in exchange for Mullen would receive the benefit of 10,000 gold coins per year.
On the way here, no one thought that it would be like this, and both Mullen and Othello were happy in their hearts.
After a full meal, Bob Weir prepared a thousand-acre mansion for Mullen, the luxury of which was about to catch up with Buffett's House.
Bob Weir also prepared more than 100 servants and maids for Mullen to take care of Mullen's diet and daily life, and among the maids was a beautiful cat woman with a cat's tail.
Although there are many orc slaves in the human world, but natural and charming orcs like fox girls and cat women are still very sought-after, an ordinary cat girl or fox girl in the imperial capital can be sold for thousands of gold coins, and it is still priceless, Bob Weir did not expect to give Mullen such a sought-after item.
Mullen, who had never had management experience, of course did not manage these servants and maids, so Mullen asked the Ed couple to arrange the work of these servants and maids.
After all, they came from a big family, and although the Ed couple were the lowest subordinates, they also had a little experience in management, and they distributed the work of these servants and maids in a decent way.
Ed first asked the maids to clean up Maren and Othello's room, and also arranged for Maren and Othello to each have two maids to serve them, so that Maren and Othello could have a good rest.
Of course, among the two maids arranged for Marlen was the Catwoman, who had a little vision as a house slave from a large family.
Seeing the two beautiful maids busy in front of him, the slightly drunk Malen couldn't help but feel ape, and little Marlen gradually reacted.
Ma Lun hurriedly calmed down, hugged Yuan Shouyi, and kept saying to himself: "Wine is a poison that pierces the intestines, and color is a steel knife that scrapes bones." The wine is a poison that pierces the intestines, and the color is a steel knife that scrapes the bones."
As soon as the maids had finished cleaning up the house, Mullen let them out, and then Mullen immediately sat on the bed and calmed down his mood.
Maren knows that no matter what he does, these two maids will not resist, but the current situation is still very dangerous, if he wants these two maids now, he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to maintain that enterprising heart.
Although the Lott Plain is located in a remote area, the exact news of the royal capital will come here sooner or later, and by that time these land snakes will understand that they are banished in this barren land, and if they do not have the power to make these land snakes jealous by then, then what awaits them is death.
Mullen understands that what he has to do now is not how to enjoy, but how to make himself stronger.
Ma Lun's current spiritual power can have spread to more than two hundred meters through his cultivation in the past few days, which can barely be regarded as a second-level druid.
In the army of the Mulan Continent, the recruits who have just come out of the boot camp must have at least the level of a first-level sword master, and the second-level sword master is the cornerstone of the army, and if you want to become the lowest officer, you need at least the level of a third-level sword master.
It is not the level of a sixth-level sword master of Malen, but in terms of the level of a druid, it can only be a little stronger than an ordinary soldier, and as for the captain of a five-person general, it is still unknown whether he can beat it.
Ma Lun didn't know when his true situation would be exposed, but he knew that from now on, every point he worked hard to cultivate, his life would be more secure.
On the way here, Maren had already thought that as long as he reached the level of a seventh-level swordsman, no matter whether Bob Weir received information about his true situation or not, he would leave Lott City and go to the Cross Mountains east of the Lott Plain to train, and by the way, tame a few of his own magic pets.
But Mullen forgot that there is a Chinese saying that a plan is better than a change, and it soon proved to be true.
Sitting on the bed, Mullen used his fighting energy to run his whole body, and at the same time released his spiritual power according to the druid's cultivation method, constantly strengthening and expanding.
Early the next morning, Mullen woke up from his sitting, brushed his teeth, washed his face, and had breakfast with Othello before rushing to the gates of the city, where he and Bob Weir sent Reed away.
Mullen lived peacefully in Lotte for three months, during which he spent most of the day practicing swordsmanship with Othello and practicing druids and fighting spirit at night.
After three months of practice, Ma Lun not only has made great progress in his martial arts, but also has gained a lot in his fighting spirit and mental strength.
The current Mullen's fighting spirit has reached the peak of a sixth-level sword master, and his spiritual power has also exceeded five hundred meters to become a third-level druid.
During these three months, Mullen was not always at home, and after practicing, Mullen would also wander around Lott City alone and buy some things he liked.
Most of the things that Mullen bought were worthless gadgets, which were of little use and were unseen and unheard of by Mullen in his previous life.
However, there are two things that Malen bought the most, one is a one-handed greatsword, which is said to have been made by dwarves, and even ordinary enchanted greatswords cannot match; The other was a space ring, although it was only a cubic meter of space, but due to the scarcity of space magicians, the small ring cost Malen eight thousand gold coins.
In the Mullan Continent, gold coins are the largest currency in circulation on the market, one gold coin is equivalent to one hundred silver coins or ten thousand copper coins, and a copper coin is estimated to be about one yuan in the previous life, that is to say, this space ring is equivalent to 80 million yuan in the previous life, and it is a huge amount of money, of course, the 10,000 gold coins given by Bob Weir are almost spent.
Othello was quite critical of the one-handed greatsword that Mullen bought, believing that it was really worthless for Mullen to buy this large iron block that weighed three times as much as an ordinary greatsword at a price that could buy a good enchanted greatsword.
However, for the space ring that Mullen bought with his bankruptcy, he was appreciated by Othello, who had always wanted to have a space ring of his own, but because the smallest space ring was an astronomical price, Othello had to stop.
During the three months of getting along, Maren learned that the catwoman was named Avril and the other human maid was named Daisy.
Avril's hometown is within the orc kingdom, and she was caught by hunters among the orcs and sold to humans, and it took several twists and turns to reach Bob Weir's hands.
Daisy's fate is even more tragic than Avril's, her parents are slaves of Bob Weir, so Daisy has been a slave since she was born, she has suffered from hunger and cold since she was a child, and was later promoted to a maid because of her beauty, and finally given to Mullen.
During these three months, Bob Weir only came a little more diligently in the first month, mainly to see if Mullen was secretly plotting to seize his rights.
It's not that Bob Weir is too cautious, it's mainly that the county guards in front of Mullen secretly ordered their retinue to lobby the military leaders inside and outside Lot, so that Bob Weir had to kill them.
Through his own dark line in Mullen's Mansion and Bob Weir's own observations, he did not find out that Mullen was doing anything harmful to himself, so Bob Weir did not come to Mullen's Duke's Mansion again for the next two months, and all the people who were spying on Mullen were withdrawn after January.
