Rushing into the back of the manor, as soon as they stepped into the room of Madame Lisa's mother and daughter, they saw that the maid of the sisters was carefully comforting them, and there were other maids waiting for them, and it seemed that the four girls were comforting each other.

Shepard was relieved, and the maids inside saw that he had hurriedly saluted: "Lord Earl! ”

Naturally, the four girls noticed Shepard coming in, and he walked to Mrs. Lisa and Rachela's soft couch, and the mother and daughter grabbed his hand together and wept, whispering coquettishly expressing their fear, but the fear between words was not as delicate as that of a delicate man.

Shepard listened funny, hugged the two and kissed them, comforting: "I'm here, don't be afraid, it's okay." ”

The sister flower behind him was originally his personal maid, at this time standing behind him to watch him comfort the mother and daughter, but the heart was a little lost, the two girls never knew that they were not taken by Shepard because they felt that they were too young, and thought that Shepard had no interest in them, and could only be a maid in the future, so I couldn't help but be angry and sad, and tears almost flowed out.

Unexpectedly, Shepard calmed the mother and daughter, turned around and hugged the sisters Duomi and Eliza in his arms, kissed the sisters on their delicate red lips, and whispered sweet words in their ears, until the two girls' faces turned red and their bodies were hot, and then let go of them with a smile.

"I'm back, don't be afraid, nothing will happen with me." Shepard smiled faintly, his tone was very casual, but he said it very naturally, as if what he said was a matter of course.

The four maidens naturally calmed down, and even the maids and servants who were waiting beside them became calm, and rumors of the Earl were circulating in the territory, and his strength became convincing because of the obedience of the green dragon.

Walking out of the room, a clerk immediately came to make a report: "Lord Count, the accident above the forest of Verdas has caused more than a hundred houses in the city to collapse, more than 400 people have been injured, and some city guards and security teams are there, and the night watchmen have also taken to the streets to patrol the streets, so as not to take advantage of the opportunity to do evil. ”

Shepard bowed his head and said, "Where are the losses?" ”

The clerk hesitated, but still confessed: "It is all the houses in the civilian area that have collapsed, although there are many people in the noble district and the market square who are injured and frightened, but the quality of the houses is much higher than that in the civilian area, although the earthquake is large, there is no collapse. ”

Count Prell groaned for a while, and ordered: "This is a natural disaster, since the collapse is very serious, just use the previous renovation plan, the Earl's Court will pay for the civilians or poor people who have lost their houses, let them clean up the ruins, the Earl's Court will take care of their accommodation and food, and give a small salary, and when the clean-up is completed, let them build new houses according to the plan...... Come! ”

Speaking of the back, Shepard suddenly pulled out his voice.

"Your Excellency!" One of the guards who followed him immediately stepped out, and as soon as Shepard pointed at him, he ordered: "Go and send a message to Knight Tommar and ask him to supervise the post-disaster reconstruction and bereavement mission of the Earl's Court, and ask Knight Jeffer to come to me at once." ”

The guards saluted solemnly, turned around and ran out without hesitation.

Shepard waved his hand for the clerk to step back as well, and before he could think about what to do next, he suddenly heard a strange rumor.

Shepard raised his head at the sound, and at a glance he saw a dark figure flying in the direction of Bloucester City in the distance, and his eyes narrowed slightly, and he recognized that it was the green dragon Takulark.

"Interesting." He muttered to himself, and called a servant and ordered, "Come and tell me when the green dragon arrives." ”

The servant paused for a moment, and though he did not understand what the Count was saying, he immediately replied yes.

Shepard took people to the study, and when he sat down on the sofa in the study, he sighed comfortably, and the tall maid with long legs and white milk next to him knelt on the cushion to make tea for the earl, listening to the sound of water, the fragrance of tea gradually grew, Shepard, who closed his eyes and was recuperating, opened his eyes and turned his head, looked at the maid and said strangely: "Why haven't I seen you in the house?" ”

The maid's maid deliberately opened a low slit on the chest of her clothes, exposing half of the ball, and at a glance the lines were beautiful, the valley was deep, and she said coquettishly: "I am the second daughter of Sir Doramon's family, and my father asked me to dress as an adult." ”

The appearance is first-class, the body is hot, the voice is delicate, and if you only look at these, no man can control it, but Shepard sniffed, and his brows furrowed slightly, but his movements were not obvious, and the woman in front of him did not pay attention, and turned to a low voice: "Sir Doramon?" Sir Zahas Toramon? ”

It's just an inconspicuous figure with a lifelong knighthood, but Shepard seems to have heard the name somewhere, so he said it in passing.

Sir's second daughter immediately rejoiced, "Yes, my lord." ”

Shepard said quietly: "Oh, I see, you go out first, I'm a little sleepy and need to rest." ”

His tone was light, and his majesty was extremely profound, and the beauty in front of him had the intention to get closer, but when he saw the earl's eyes, he immediately became frightened, and he did not dare to say a word and honestly withdrew.

When the woman came out of the study, Shepard took a sip of the poured milk tea and said to himself, "The tea is well cooked." ”

Jeffer arrived just in time at this time, walked into the study and saluted respectfully: "Lord Earl, Jeffrey is here at your call. ”

Shepard smiled when he saw him, "You're here, by the way, your family moved from Esmirtaran to Prell, right?" ”

Jeff was a little puzzled, stood up and said honestly: "Yes, my lord, my parents were originally the housekeepers and cooks of the Rhodok family, but the Rhodok family was defeated because of the defeat of the struggle, and our family moved out of Esmirtaran and returned to our hometown in Prell. ”

"Very well," Shepard said lightly, "ask your parents if they would like to come to Bloucester City to serve me as the second butler and kitchen manager of the Earl's Court, the current butler is too bold to dare to let someone into my study at will, since your father has served the noble family, he must be a qualified butler." ”

Jeffer was overjoyed when he heard this, he didn't care about the identity of the butler, the chief butler must be the earl's cronies, and now they are all part-time jobs for Mrs. Lisa, and the second butler is a candidate for temporary promotion, although the ability is okay, but the roots of the ears are too soft, and many things are not understood.

But he was originally a knight of the earl's family, and unlike those independent knight lords, the count had great trust and reliance on the task of letting his family serve as stewards and be in charge of the kitchen, so he immediately said solemnly: "Yes, my lord, I will definitely convince them to come here." ”

"Well, if they wish to come, I will allow you to mobilize four cavalrymen to fetch them for the safety of the road." Shepard casually promised again, which naturally moved Jeff even more.

After finishing his business, Shepard smiled and said, "You also know what happened in the forest, but I don't think you know that the fallen city is a floating city in the era of the Magic Empire. ”

Ignoring Jeff's shock, he continued, "A floating city! Even if it has crashed, there are countless treasures and opportunities, and adventurers will come to the Forest of Verdas and come to the territory of Prell like vultures chasing carrion, so I will set up a position for you, you are the future [Adventurer Affairs Officer] of Bloucester City, and I allow you to select fifty people to be responsible for dealing with adventurers-related affairs. ”

He looked at Jeff and said with trust: "You should be able to reach the advanced level soon, with this kind of strength, although it is not enough to say that you are not afraid of everything, it is enough to deter most adventurers, oh yes, the wall around the market is about to be completed, those adventurers are only allowed to move in the market in the future, and the rest of the area will be forbidden to enter, unless they have the right to settle in Blouce." ”

"So I'm going to build a new town not far south of Bloucester City, dedicated to the adventurers' activity area, and your camp is there, as for the builder of the town, let Sir Zahaas Doramon take care of it, since he is excited to offer his daughter, for the sake of the milk tea tastes good, I forgive him for planning to let me wear broken shoes, oh my God, the mixed smell of dozens of men is terrible......"

Shepard's last sentence was so low that Jeff couldn't hear it, but he wondered, "Sir Toramon?" It is said that his eldest daughter was very close to a knight, and that the second daughter was more beautiful and sexy than the eldest daughter, and often haunted various salons and parties, and someone wanted to introduce her to me......"

Shepard raised his eyebrows: "Introduced to you?" Who is it? Don't tell me your name, let this guy go with Zahas Doramon to take care of the town's construction! You have to build a town that can accommodate a thousand adventurers within four months, and if you can't finish it, go mine for me! ”

Jeff's neck shrunk, and he didn't know why the Earl's tone suddenly became so stiff, but fortunately, he still knew that the Earl's anger was not born of him, so he could only write down the names of the two fellows who seemed to have offended the Earl, respectfully bid farewell to the Earl, and walked out of the study.

The study suddenly fell silent, and Shepard took another sip of tea, but said regretfully: "This tea is really good...... It's a pity, after all, it's not a god, and it can't purify and drive away the filth from my body, and the chaotic intercourse makes me smell the depravity and decay of the abyss...... It's really unappetizing, but fortunately her soul hasn't been polluted much, and I hope that honest man who doesn't know where can save her, as long as it doesn't harm my men. ”

A month later, Shepard heard the news of the knight's second lady's betrothed to the son of a garment merchant in the city, and he could not help but feel deep sympathy.

At this moment, after Shepard had been lying in the sofa for a long time to close his eyes and recuperate, there was at last the sound of footsteps, which stopped when he was still some distance away, and called softly to the Count.

When Shepard opened his eyes, he saw a servant saluting respectfully, "My lord, the dragon has landed in the square of the Exchange, and I will inform you of this matter as you have commanded." ”

"You're doing a good job." Shepard complimented, got up and took the hot towel from the servant's hand, wiped his face, and walked out of the study.

When he led the people to the outside of the Exchange, the green dragon Takuralk stood there like a magnificent turquoise sculpture, his eyes looking deeply in the direction of the forest, only Shepard noticed the tail moving from side to side behind his back, revealing the dragon's nervous mood.

There is no need for words to hand over *** divine power to break through the air and pass it into the dragon's mind: "Takulark! I've allowed you to return to the Forest of Verdas for a three-month vacation, how did you come back? ”

The dragon's response in his mind was like a roar: "Roar! My boss, I'm bored with the boring life in the Wildas Forest, and I've decided to end my vacation early and continue to serve you and your territory! ”

Shepard was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't realize that this dragon still had the talent to joke: "Don't lie!" Did something happen in the Floating City that made you abandon your lair? ”

Takulark's voice became helpless: "Roar! My boss, you already know what's going on, the Elven Chanter of the Wildas Forest and the Grand Druid of Moss City will definitely go to the site of the fall of the Floating City together in the near future, and I don't want my peaceful life to be disturbed by long-eared ribs and unclothed exhibitionists! ”

The dragon's employer was immediately happy: "Okay, since you have given up your right to leave, I will also accept your request, but I will not provide any allowance for your overtime!" ”

The green dragon's narrow dragon eyes showed a wise gaze, far less cruel and savage than his kindred, such a gaze would not be strange if it appeared on an old dragon or ancient dragon that had lived for thousands of years, and it was as incredible as the early wisdom of human beings to appear on this adult dragon who was only a few hundred years old.

The green dragon looked at his employer with great meaning, and said very calmly in the exchange of spiritual power: "I have swallowed the last of my wealth!" My boss, I think you know what that means. ”

"Yes, I know." Shepard's tone also became flat: "But what about you? Do you know what the choice you're going to make means? ”

The green dragon became a little hesitant when he heard this, and only after a long time did he calmly say, "I think I know, it's just that I'm not ready, I need time." ”

Shepard's mental power fluctuated and suddenly smiled: "It's okay, Takulark, our contract time is a thousand years, as long as you fulfill your obligations, I will not shirk my responsibility, and even maybe, I will introduce you to a female dragon!" ”

"Roar!" Takulark's mind suddenly became excited: "That's it, boss!" I don't have much desire for riches, but I'm a she-dragon! Oh, horns of the dragon god, that's just amazing! I haven't touched a female dragon in hundreds of years since I broke up with her! I really can't understand those who have sex with beasts and birds! ”[.]
