In the hall of the main castle of Yafen, a red velvet carpet reflects a few rays of the warm winter sun projected through the castle windows, and a priest in a pale blue robe holds a scroll in one hand and draws a large Arcana cross on his chest with the other hand in solemn prayer. To the beat of the priest's prayers, Walker Easttim slowly stood up from the earl's silver chair, took the heirloom sword of Eastem from the richly dressed servant beside him with a serious expression, and walked towards Matt Nido, who had been bathing and changing clothes after a day of fasting.

Earl Walker tapped Matt Nido's forehead with the family heirloom sword, "The heirloom sword gives you a new life, a new soul from head to toe. Earl Walker suddenly raised his slap and slapped Matt Nido hard, "The lowliness has been dispelled, and it was no longer there!" ”

"The goddess Arcana testifies that my soul is purified." Mart resisted the slap. "The soul is now a new self. Please give me my last name. ”

"Give you a new surname, Wilder, may you be as your name suggests, and may you be as alert and wild as the woodland mastiff of Lucy's Glade." Walker tapped Matt Nido's left and right shoulders with the back of the family heirloom sword, "The soul is first, and the earth is on both shoulders." Where the sword passes, the glory reaches. ”

"The new students have the responsibility to share the worries of the Lord." Matt Wilder raised her head and looked at her lord Walker Easttim with tears in her eyes.

"Give you a piece of sealed soil, and a heavy responsibility on your shoulders." Earl Walker put away the heirloom sword and lifted Mart up, squeezing his eyes at him, "Do a good job, your captain will be handed over to your subordinates, you will be a court guard of my court, and you will be my courtier from now on." ”

After Earl Walker had conferred the title on the junior officer Marat, he buried his teacher's body in St. Arcana's Cathedral, the resting place of the Earls of Jaffenburg, which was already the most glorious thing Lawrence's pupils could give him during his lifetime. There was an endless stream of nobles and people who came to watch the funeral, just to silently send blessings and sincere remembrance to their 'aristocratic friend' Lawrence.

"Pull out the traitor Resat Don for me." Earl Walker's voice was powerful, and his voice was definitely a death knell for Ressatt Don in the prisoner van who accompanied him. As soon as the Count's words were finished, the tightly bound Resat Don was pushed out of the prisoner's cart by the soldiers who were armed with all his hands.

"Earl, I am your loyal courtier, let me go, please! Leave me alone! Resart Don wept like a rat caught in a trap, and his cry was even more heartbreaking.

"Kill this greedy wolf!" The shouts of the people were louder than when Walker was 'welcoming' from defeat.

"This is the same thing, the damned wicked servant who killed my infant child. Give back my baby! The women's weeping was like a pouring of water, and his relatives picked up stones from the ground and threw them at the dejected Resar Don.

"He deserves to be slashed with a thousand cuts! We curse that his soul will never enter the temple! "The curses of the populace and the nobility were like the sound of heavenly punishment.

"For the ghost slain by this scourge, for my teacher, Mr. Lawrence, he will be sacrificed according to the custom of Yafen!" Earl Walker waved his hand gently, "The time has come to crucify this vicious dog on the Arcana Cross!" Let his soul be bound forever by the cross of Santa Arcana! ”

Resat Don was already paralyzed in fright, and he was dragged and dragged by several soldiers to the cross of St. Arcana, and the iron nails were wielded by the hammer, and they burrowed into the palms and feet of the wicked minister, and let him scream hysterically and beg for mercy, until the last nail penetrated his heart, and he was finally crucified high on the cross of the main tower of the castle, making him look at the land he had plagued forever. No one frowned at Resart Don's death, and everyone applauded the public execution.

"Yafen has finally quieted down for a while." Earl Walker returned to his bedroom in the main castle, he almost collapsed on the soft bed, but Lawrence's legacy kept echoing in his head.

"No, I need to do it as soon as possible. Now is not the time to rest. Walker jumped up from the soft bed, and watched in bewilderment at the strange movements of its master, who seemed to be tired, but only yawned and snorted again.

Earl Walker, accompanied by White Bo, locked himself up in the castle's bedroom for three days, and Walker spent most of the three days of confinement lying on his desk and writing hard books, and the person he had met the most was his new treasurer, George, Landmark. Sometimes he put his hands on his head, sometimes he recalled Lawrence's last words, and sometimes he read softly.

"Smack!" Walker, who was struggling to write, suddenly stopped writing, and the quill in his hand was broken, but he nodded in satisfaction.

"Someone! Order George Landmark and his clerk to get to my room quickly! Earl Walker ordered his servant to find a huge piece of parchment, which was nothing more than dozens of parchments of the largest size spliced together. At the beginning of this huge parchment, Earl Walker, in the presence of George Landmark, writes a few large and smooth characters of "Lawrence Yafen's New Law" with a thick ponytail pen. The clerk brought by George Landmark carefully copied the fine laws of the new law after Lawrence Yafin.

"A great decree will be born! Tomorrow it will have its first rays of morning! "George. Landmark looked at the transcribed decree with emotion, not noticing that his eyes were already filled with tears.

In the early morning of the next day, when the red sun had just risen in the east, several soldiers carried out this historical ceremony. They pasted it on a bulletin board in the main city square of Yafen.

The billboards under the main city square of Jarfenburg gathered almost all of the subjects and nobles of Jarfen one after another. None of them read the new decree promulgated by Earl Walker of Affin:

Walker Easttham, Earl of Affenburgh

February 4, 1029

"The Count has finally issued a good decree!" The clamor of the people was everywhere.

"Good!" The crowd raised their arms and shouted.

The resentment of the subjects of Yafenburg disappeared in an instant in front of this seemingly 'magical' decree, and they excitedly passed on the provisions of the decree that were closely related to their own survival, and they clapped their hands and high-fived each other, and hugged each other excitedly to congratulate each other.

There were even some boring do-gooders who shouted 'Long live the Count' in public. Although their call was not echoed by the nobles and the people, they were not beaten by the other subjects of Jarfenburg, because in the eyes of most subjects, today is indeed a memorable day for Jarfenburg, and the gloom over Jarfenburg is dissipated with this seemingly magical decree proclamation, like a new life after a bath.

"Go, go get the money, our children, our brothers bought their lives for life!" At least half of them rushed to the Treasurer's Mansion next to the granary, and the servants of the Treasurer's Mansion methodically distributed pensions to the relatives of those who had died in the siege of Entre.

"Put it away, these are the 20 silver coins that your son exchanged for his life." The treasurer's servant guided the people to put their handprints on the list.

Four diplomatic envoys from Jarfenburg were sent in different directions, each escorted by two Javen cavalry, carrying a handwritten letter bearing the seal of Earl Walker and all the gold that Count Walker could provide, and galloped towards the royal city of Parma, the town of White, the Entre and the Iron Fist Castle. Walker stood on the window edge of the main castle, watching his envoys and cavalry. He silently prayed to Arcana in his heart: "May you be successful." ”

The envoys and horsemen were ordered to flee along the gravel road, and their shadows slowly disappeared into the dense taiga surrounding Yafenburg, and they were out of sight of Count Walker on the main castle.

"Now it's my turn." He turned to his deceased teacher, George Landmark, the treasurer, and whispered a piece of parchment* that he had signed from his bosom. "It's a secret that no one can know about it but the spymaster and you. Besides, you'll have to tell Spiket, the head spy, to do what I wrote in my secret letter. ”

"Understood, my lord." George tapped his bald head and quickly tucked the papers into his underwear, and after saluting Walker respectfully, he slowly exited the earl's bedroom, Walker smiled and nodded, "You have to remember what I said, George Landmark." ”
