Chapter 152: Puppet

Previous Chapter

Hale nodded knowingly and asked, "After entering Roland County, what do you think I should do with these three land snakes?" ”

Othello asked, "What does Your Highness think should be done with them?" ”

Hale knew that Othello was testing whether he had the potential to help, and replied: "I'm still weak, and I'm sure they won't take me seriously." After all, I am the new Grand Duke of the kingdom, and unlike the previous county guards, I must think about the kingdom's reaction before they deal with me and deal with me. As long as I'm in Lot, but if I ask them about it, they won't treat me the same way they did with the previous county guards. After so many years of getting along, there must have been deep contradictions between these landlords, and they were only able to unite when the king interfered with their rule. What I have to do now is to deepen the contradictions between them and make them kill each other, and I only need to slowly develop my strength, and I will definitely pacify these landlords. ”

Othello said: "Your Highness's idea is good, but it is difficult to implement. ”

Hale said: "As the so-called wealth is in danger, since God has given me this opportunity, I will definitely seize it." ”

Othello said: "Since Your Highness has this ambition, I will definitely assist Your Highness in creating a new Lott Plain." ”

Neither of them spoke anymore, silently looking ahead, their eyes full of tenacity.

Job XI arrives on the plain of Lot

Two days later, Hale 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 Hale's confusion and said to Hale: "The population of the Lott Plain has not been very large due to the land, so the leaders of the various forces have stipulated that the civilians should not be affected in the process of snatching the chassis, 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. ”

After listening to Othello's explanation, Hale was a little thundered, it turns out that these bandits also understand the truth of sustainable development!

After three more days of walking, Hale finally came to the outside of Lot, and the defenders of 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.

The commander-in-chief, Reed, 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 commander-in-chief of the Janissaries of the royal city, Reed, and I will escort His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Roland to his post on the orders of His Majesty the King. ”

Bob Weir, the tax collector of Lot, had been informed of the arrival of the army as the city approached, and was now watching the army below with the Janissaries of the Royal City 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 the envoy of His Majesty, I ask General Reed to shoot His Majesty's appointment letter on the city wall, so that the lower officials can identify the authenticity." ”

Reed said, "No problem, it's as it should be. ”

After saying that, he asked someone to shoot Farr's past appointment letter and Hale'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." ”

Then he walked quickly down the wall.

Once the gates were fully opened, Bob Weir went out to greet Hale's motorvoy.

Bob Weir walked up to Hale's carriage and bowed to Hale in the carriage, saying, "Bob Weir, the most faithful tax collector in Rowland, has seen His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Rowland. ”

Hale stepped out of the carriage, picked up Bob Weir with both hands and said, "Your Excellency Will, please get up, you are the mainstay of Roland County, Roland County has been able to prosper so much under your leadership for many years, and I should salute you on behalf of Roland County." ”

Bob Weir said: "His Royal Highness the Grand Duke has won the award, I am just doing my duty to live up to His Majesty's trust in me." ”

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 Hale, accompanied by Hale's bodyguard Othello, and the commander-in-chief, Reed, was also invited, but Reed rejected Bob Weir's invitation under the pretext of taking care of the army.

At the banquet, Hale and Bob Weir touted each other, but they were actually testing each other's bottom line.

Bob Weir understands that this treatment of Hale cannot be coerced and intimidated like the previous county guard of Roland County, the former county guard of Roland County is just an outdated little nobleman, and when he goes to Roland County to serve as a county guard, he is assigned, and no one cares if he dies.

But Hale is different, he is not only the new Archduke Roland, but the most important thing is that his grandfather is the kingdom's minister of etiquette, and he is in a high position, and Bob Weir easily does not dare to touch this mold.

King Farr 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 lords of the Lott Plains had already learned from the merchants that an Archduke of Roland was coming, and 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.

Hale's arrival made the three land snakes on the Lott Plains think that they had gone too far, 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 Roland Grand Duke first, if this Roland Grand Duke accepted his own benefits, it means that the matter is still salvageable, if you don't accept it, kill this Grand Duke first, and prepare to resist the Wang ** team together.

King Far'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 action, but who knew that the three giants actually understood the king's meaning wrongly, so that their actions not only cheapened Hale, but also undermined King Far's original intention.

At this feast, Hale and Bob Weir made an agreement that Hale would not interfere in the internal affairs of the Lott Plains, and in exchange for Hale would receive the benefit of 10,000 gold coins a year.

On the way here, no one thought that it would be like this, and both Hale and Othello were happy in their hearts.

After a full meal, Bob Weir prepared a thousand-acre mansion for Hale, the luxury of which was about to catch up with Tours House.

Bob Weir also prepared more than 100 servants and maids for Hale to take care of Hale's diet and daily life, and among the maids was a beautiful catwoman with a cat's tail.

Although there are a lot of orc slaves in the human world, but natural and charming orcs like fox girl and cat woman are still very sought-after, in the imperial capital, an ordinary cat girl or fox girl can be sold for thousands of gold coins, and it is still priceless, Bob Weir, who did not think about it, actually gave Hale such a sought-after item.

Hale, who had never had management experience, of course, could not manage the servants and handmaidens, so Hale put the Eddards in charge of arranging the work of the servants and handmaidens.

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 Hale and Othello's room, and also arranged for Hale and Othello to each have two maids to serve them, so that Hale and Othello could have a good rest.

Of course, among the two maids arranged for Hale was Catwoman, who had the vision to come out of a large family.

Seeing the two beautiful maids busy in front of him, Hale, who was a little drunk, couldn't help but get up, and little Hale gradually reacted.

Hale 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, Hale let them out, and Hale immediately sat down on the bed and calmed down with a vindictive decision.

Hale knew that no matter what he did, these two maids would not resist, but the current situation was still very dangerous, and if he wanted these two maids now, he was afraid that it would 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.

Hale knew that what he had to do now was not how to enjoy it, but how to make himself stronger.

Hale's current spiritual power has been able to 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 Adelan continent, 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 Hale's sixth-level swordsman, but in terms of the level of the 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.

Hale didn't know when his true situation would be exposed, but he knew that if he worked hard to cultivate from now on, every point he was strong would have more protection for his life.

On the way here, Hale 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 in the east of the Lott Plain to train, and by the way, tame a few of his own magic pets.

But Hale 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, Hale 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 in the morning, Hale woke up from his seat, brushed his teeth and washed his face while the maid waited, and after breakfast with Othello, he hurried to the gates of the city, and sent Reed away with Bob Weir.

Hale lived in peace in Lott for three months, during which time Hale spent most of the day practicing swordsmanship with Othello and practicing druids and fighting spirit at night.

After three months of practice, Hale not only made great progress in his martial arts, but also gained a lot in his fighting spirit and mental strength.

The current Hale's fighting spirit has reached the peak of a sixth-level sword master, and his spiritual power has exceeded five hundred meters to become a third-level druid.

During these three months, Hale didn't stay at home all the time, and after practicing, Hale would also walk around Lott City alone and buy some things he liked.

Most of the things that Hale bought were worthless gadgets that didn't have much use, but they were things that Hale had never seen or heard of in his previous life.

But there are two things that Hale buys 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 Hale eight thousand gold coins.

In the Adelan 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 Hale bought, believing that it was not worth it for Hale to buy a large iron block that weighed three times the weight of an ordinary greatsword at a price that could buy a good enchanted greatsword. (To be continued.) )
