Chapter 70: Alger
Two days have passed, and it is almost mid-October, and there are only three days left before the opening of Rand World.
in the chamber.
Barr is thinking about the future direction of the territory.
Although the development of Hailan Village is not bad, it is still far from those large and medium-sized forces, not to mention the various countries on the continent, the thigh of the orc empire still has to be hugged tightly, and his minotaur identity is also very good in the northeast of the empire.
However, after the adventurers enter, it will inevitably have a strong impact on the situation on the entire continent.
The Red Earth Continent alone has an influx of hundreds of millions of adventurers.
In the early stage, it is difficult for these adventurers to make a difference due to their low rank.
In the beginning, the aborigines had a very good impression of adventurers, as long as they issued a task and then gave those adventurers a little benefit, these adventurers would do their best to help out, just like a group of righteous messengers.
However, as the level of adventurers increased and their true nature was slowly revealed, these aborigines were not so happy.
These adventurers can do anything for experience and gold, especially as the major forces are paying sky-high prices to buy game currency, this situation is getting more and more intense, and Baal was once one of them, so he naturally knows the virtues of these people.
"Adventurers can take advantage of it, and it must not be trusted."
Barr put down his teacup.
Just as he was thinking about it, he looked up and saw John walking in with a depressed face.
"Your Excellency."
John walked up to Barr and said helplessly, "We seem to have been falsely accused." ”
"What's wrong?" Barr asked curiously.
John had always been cunning, and it was the first time he had seen such a look.
"The Viscount of the Tiger Man who came to us two days ago seems to be planning to stay on his laurels." John said hatefully, "I've been reminding him euphemistically for the past two days, but that tiger man's face is too thick to be moved at all." ”
"It seems that he is determined to rely on us to eat and drink for nothing."
"What is he doing here?" Barr wondered.
That Alger is the Viscount of the Empire, judging from the conversation, he should be from a big family, he is the envoy of the Empire this time, and it stands to reason that he should go back to his life immediately after the mission is completed, and there is no reason to stay here forever.
As for eating and drinking, it doesn't seem to make sense.
Although Alger looks a little down, he is also a viscount, and he always has to take care of his face, so it shouldn't be to this point, and he can't eat any delicacies in Hailan Village.
"Forget it, since he doesn't leave, let him stay here, and we're not afraid to eat with a few more mouths." Barr laughed.
Although he said this, he still had some doubts in his heart.
After all, it is always not very reassuring for a viscount to stay in his own territory for some reason.
......
At night, in a courtyard in the east of the village.
The magic lamp in the room was still on. This kind of civilian magic lamp is very popular in the empire, the production technology is relatively simple, the price is cheap, and Hailan Village has also purchased a lot.
A small transparent bug floated in through the window.
There is a table in the room.
Alger and the Tigerman were concentrating on the barbecue and bread on the table, and the two of them looked good, and it seemed that they were living a good life here.
The tiger man grabbed a piece of barbecue meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and said indistinctly: "Uncle, we've been here for several days, when are we going home?" ”
These days, although life is good and the villagers here are very welcoming, the tiger boy has grown up in Koroti City since he was a child, and this is the first time he has gone far away, and he is a little homesick after a few days.
"What's home? , we are not going back, we will stay here in the future. Alger nibbled on the bread in his hand.
"Uncle, you won't worry about those who come to collect debts, right?" The tiger man said casually, "Don't you still have several storefronts in the city, and when you make money, you can return it to them, and uncle, you are a nobleman, what can those debt collectors do to us." ”
In the eyes of the tiger boys, they don't need to leave Kroti City at all, and even if they do, they will at least have to wait until they sell their property before leaving, and they will not be as penniless as they are now.
"Little bunny, you're still too tender."
Alger's eyes froze, "Do you think those people just want money, what they want is my life." Behind those debt collectors are there people who support us, and they will never give us a chance to turn around when they tried their best to bring down our family. ”
"The reason why you don't do it now is because your grandfather's residual power is still there, and they are still trying."
"Once it's certain that we're no longer able to fight back, these people will pounce like hungry wolves and tear us to pieces."
Thinking of his father, he shook his head.
Alger's father was also a prominent figure in the city of Krotti, and when he was young, he inherited the title of barony from his ancestors, and because of his outstanding ability, he climbed all the way to the position of Count of the Empire.
His father was upright and jealous.
Because this character offended many nobles back then, these people were naturally honest under the old earl's tiger power in the past, but as soon as his father died, these people couldn't wait to take action.
In just one year, first the younger brother committed suicide, and then the family's property was also hit one after another, and it can be said that the family was ruined.
"Uncle, grandpa helped so many people during his lifetime, we can go and ask those people, they will definitely help." The tiger boy said urgently.
"Help?"
Alger put down the bread in his hand, looked at the tiger boy in front of him, and said solemnly: "Alan, you have to remember that dragons will not be friends with pig-like beasts, and for people who do not have strength, the word nobles are worthless. ”
"But..."The tiger boy opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word.
These intrigues seem too far away for a teenager.
"We can't go back to Coroti City." Alger sighed and looked at the tiger man in front of him, "It's safest for us to stay here now, at this point in time, no one will be stupid enough to provoke the Minotaur." ”
"Moreover, I don't think this young lord is simple."
He had been walking around the village for the past few days, talking to the villagers, and the more he learned, the more surprised he became.
It is hard to imagine that a newly established territory can develop to this size in less than two months, and there are almost all races in this Minotaur territory, and the number of rare elites is even more amazing.
It is incomprehensible that these elites of different races should be loyal to the same lord.
Including the young lord, there were a few people who couldn't even detect the template level with him.
Alger himself is also a level 50 elite elemental mage, if even he can't detect it, then there is a high probability that the other party's template level is above him, and that minotaur definitely looks less than twenty years old, such a young leader-level figure is rare.
"Okay, go to bed after eating, I have to think about it and find some reason to stay."
.......
"So that's it?" Barr opened his eyes.
Originally, he thought that this Viscount of the Tiger Man had some intentions, but he didn't expect this to be the case in the end.
Listening to the meaning of the words of the two, this tiger viscount should have been suppressed by his opponent, and he was desperate to rely on it.
"Viscount of the Tiger People, this is a good identity." Barr touched his chin and muttered to himself
Although he has the status of a nobleman, he is only a small honorary baron, and he does not know much about the situation inside the nobles.
The people summoned by Baal are also historical figures, and they don't know anything about the current situation of the empire, and after the territory grows, they will inevitably have to deal with these nobles, and if they don't know anything about them, they will be very passive.
Alger is different.
He was a veteran nobleman and familiar with the inner workings of the Empire.
Judging from the conversation just now, he is now desperate, and I believe that as long as Barr opens his mouth, it will naturally be a matter of course, and if Alger helps, it will be of great help to the future development of the territory.
The crux of the matter is where he should be placed.
After all, Alger is the Viscount of the Empire, and if there are some things that require him to come forward, he also needs a suitable status, so this position cannot be given too low. But after all, he is not his own person, and he has too much power, and Barr is not at ease.
"High status, but you can't know too much." Barr smiled and had an idea.
......
Early the next morning.
As soon as Barr got up, he received a report from the guards that Viscount Alger had come to visit him, and that Barr could probably guess his intentions.
After washing his face, he walked to the council chamber.
As soon as I entered the door, a hearty laugh came.
"Hahaha."
Alger stood up, "Brother Barr, I have been taking care of you for the past few days, and this time I have come to thank you. ”
"Your Excellency the Viscount is gracious, please be seated."
"I just relied on the remnants of my ancestors to get mixed up with the identity of a viscount, what kind of adult." Alger said politely, "If you don't dislike it, how about you and I are brothers?" ”
"Brother, please take a seat." Barr laughed
