Chapter 5 Villains always have inexplicable self-confidence

"Lar Mirch?"

Is there really someone with that name? Although he had known it for a long time, Leo still couldn't help but sigh, and this warlock was actually a woman, so far without saying a word, Leo thought that he must be a cold young man again.

"Now that you've agreed, you don't have to stay here for the rest of the day, and of course you'll be equipped with basic surveillance for security."

The two men who had untied their restraints moved their hands and feet, and without hesitation, they half-knelt down, and made up their minds to go to Leo's thief ship.

"Obey ....."

As he spoke, he glanced at each other, "Please save our mentor, Master Sheon."

……

The bull is bragging big, and he has such a small number of people, how to fight against the four noble families of Drifting Snow City, and only then did Leo understand what it meant for the king to hand over all of his own.

It's just that I won't help you, you try to do it yourself.....

First of all, count the manpower, with the help of the head of the dead fish-eyed cold knight, none of the 20 guards died, not even the crippled, magic is really the strongest setting.

With the addition of the two defective Bell and Ral, the princess cannot be easily used as combat power, and now the two assassins have become the ceiling combat power.

There are still advantages in being proficient in strategy games and various game scripts, but the combat effectiveness is still insufficient, so you can only pull down your face here.......

summoned Fran and whispered in his ear, so and so and so, and Fran also patted his chest with a light in his eyes.

"No problem, leave it to me"

…..

Ral and Bell were confused, completely unaware of what was going on.

"You want us to send back different information?"

Leo slammed the table a few times and groaned slightly.

"Of course I won't force you, there is a lot of risk in this plan, and I can't completely guarantee your safety"

Ral shook his head and solemnly saluted Leo again

"Maester Sheon has no way to repay our kindness, as long as we can save him, I will do as you command"

Leo smiled at this, to the point that it was a bit like an orthodox RPG

Just let me be a despicable foreigner, the four great families of Drifting Snow City? No matter how you look at this setting, it is a stepping stone used at the beginning of the game to set off the protagonist's abilities.

In the Drifting Snow City Hall, the four great families originally didn't ask each other, but recently they have been holding frequent gatherings, and the dim candlelight makes the atmosphere a little depressing.

"Someone sent out has news coming back?"

"Yes, but...."

The teacup shattered directly in front of the messenger, and I couldn't help but shudder.

"But what! , nothing at all! ”

The Leif family master was a little impatient, if it weren't for the people sent to the Wangcheng family who didn't hear from him at all, how could he take such a big risk to intercept the new lord's convoy.

"There are two copies of the message...."

After the secret letter was presented, the four masters were a little puzzled, what did the new lord want to do? He thought it was up to the princess to make them comply? Still thinking about forcing the palace?

"What do you think of the Grands?"

The Grands spread their hands, looking indifferent.

"Who knows, anyway, the second content is quite clear, we just need to watch a good show, it is impossible for the two of them to betray, after all, we have ........ in our hands"

"It's also....after all, it's a hairy boy hahaha"

"Even the king has given us a few thin noodles, and a newcomer wants to shovel us?"

"We are the ones in power in the north, we need to let them know"

It was the middle of the night when the meeting was dismissed, but the head of the Grande family, who had returned home with a smile on his face, turned to look at his son.

"What do you think?"

"The new lord's plan is a bit hasty, even with the princess and the king as the backing, the power of the four major families is not so simple to be ...

The head of the Grand family frowned and directly interrupted his son

"I didn't ask you this, remember, our Grand family is born as a merchant, and we must make a good choice between risks and benefits at all times"

"Father, what do you mean?"

"Send someone....no, you go and see this new lord in person, and show the kindness of our Grands"

"Then the other big families..."

The head of the Grand family looked out the window and let out a long breath.

"The person personally designated by His Majesty should be more than just a few pounds on the surface."

"If he is really bluffing, we also have a way out, but if he can really do it, then Drifting Snow City, our Grand family will be the only family"

….

The climate in the north is abnormal, the temperature is very low all year round, close to Drifting Snow City, and even snowflakes are beginning to fall, normally when the new lord takes office, someone should have come to greet him in advance, but Drifting Snow City is closed with the city gates, and there is no intention of letting anyone in.

The entire Drifting Snow City is a piece of iron bucket, even if he leads an army to attack, it is difficult to take it, but these have no effect on Leo, and his first step is to start from this town under the city.

The contemporary dwarven king is a highly regarded Ming monarch, and under his impetus he carried out a series of reforms, including public ownership of land, emancipation of serfs, and so on.

However, far away in the far north of the mainland, this land is intricately intertwined, and the old aristocratic forces dominated by the four great families are like maggots with bones gnawing away at the vitality of the city.

The carriage marched to the town of Pinewood, and the grand scene of the royal capital must have been a hell, with the houses in tatters and the pedestrians around them in rags.

The most important people, the eyes of those people who looked at the convoy were full of fear, the fear of being exploited and enslaved for a long time, where all the serfs lived, or the inferior people who were not qualified to live in the main city, and the first thing Leo had to do was to save these people.

Originally, I should have arrived here a few days earlier, but later it was to raise supplies, a large number of blankets, food, and firewood could be obtained on the spot, and the nearby coniferous forest was still very rich.

A cauldron was set up in front of the abandoned church on the street, and the wheat porridge was boiled with a gurgling face, and Leo ran away and handed it over to Barrow to deal with, unable to bear the stares of the inhabitants who were hungry enough to eat people.

…..

The old man stumbled and ran over, fell to his knees in front of Leo, and did not want to get up.

"Thanks to the kindness of the adults, we old bones forget it, those innocent children can finally survive"

Saying that, he wiped a handful of tears, the old man is the elder of Pine Town, and he is considered the person with the highest prestige in Pine Town, and it just so happens that Leo also has a lot of things to ask.

"Why is this happening, according to the Kingdom law, at least enough food will be left for you to survive the winter?"

The old man shook his head and sighed

"My lord doesn't know, all the annual grain in our Songmu Town will be given to Drifting Snow City, and Drifting Snow City will calculate it and return thirty percent to us."

"Most of these grains are not in good condition, and even so, the mayor of the town still has to take one percent in the name of the town's taxes. The rest ....."

Leo also understands that this is a typical layer of exploitation, but these serfs have no right to raise objections at all, and this first knife to Drifting Snow City seems to be the first to go down to the mayor.

Leo is resolute, there are not many guards in the mayor's mansion, and even if there are, the average soldier is no match for Bell and Lal at all.

Within a quarter of an hour, a middle-aged nobleman with a big belly and a round waist was dragged out and thrown in front of everyone.

"You.. What do you guys do..!! I'm the mayor appointed by the four families! You can't do this to me! ”

As soon as the words fell, a loud slap greeted the fat face.

"Keep your eyes open, this is the new lord appointed by His Majesty the King, Lord Leoclough."

…….

A temporary platform was erected in the center of the town, and Barrow read aloud the mayor's indictment, and the mayor himself sat on his knees like a deflated ball.

The mayor of the town sentenced him to 30 years of hard labor, all his property was confiscated, and the moment he opened the grain storehouse, Rao was shocked by Fran's insight, but Leo was relieved, he boasted that he would distribute food to the people of the town for the winter, and it was not enough to bring that little bit.

Barrow walked up and whispered a few words to Leo.

The only son of the Grand family asks to see him?
