Time goes back a few hours ago. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the Lord's Mansion in Shining Gold, the local lord Farley Eisenstead is enjoying lunch with his only daughter Mirika (in fact, I don't know what the lord here is called, I built a special alliance trumpet to investigate, and found that there are only two small houses here, and there is no mayor or lord, so I can only use the innkeeper and assistant to make a living).

As the town at the gate of Stormwind City, Shining Gold Town is really accessible in all directions, and any businessman, traveler, or adventurer who wants to enter Stormwind City must pass through here, and you can imagine how much traffic there is, even if the Lei family does not charge tolls, the economy driven by these people alone is enough to envy people to death.

The Eisenstead family controls this place, and due to its geographical location, although their title is not as good as that of dukes and some of the great nobles, they are also one of the hottest families in the Stormwind Kingdom.

But in Farley's generation, there was a crisis in Eisenstead, why? It's very simple, the word only daughter already says it all, their family is going to be broken.

Farley squandered too much energy when he was young, and after trying all kinds of drugs to no avail, he finally gave up, so he put all his energy into his only daughter.

Fortunately, the women of the Stormwind Kingdom can also inherit the title, and the Essenstead family will not fall into the hands of the side branches, so the most important thing for the current Farley is to protect Mirika and train her to become a competent lord.

"That incident some time ago was in trouble?" Taking small bites, Farley casually mentioned that the humans of Azeroth actually did not have the custom of talking at the dinner table, but because he saw Mirika's somewhat annoyed expression, he couldn't help but ask.

"......" Mirika hesitated for a moment, but finally confessed to her father.

"Yes, a lot of people have fled, father, why don't we try to reduce the tax a little?" There was a sadness in Mirika's eyes, and Farley frowned tightly when she saw it.

"So you mean you want to pay the war taxes for those civilians out of your own pocket?" His voice was so low that anyone in his right could hear his displeasure, and Mirika hurriedly explained.

"No, father, it's just that if they are still there, they will hand over a part of it every year, although it is a little less, but in the future, if you calculate carefully, won't you be able to create more wealth for us? And they can have children......" So that the Eisensteads would not be infamous, Mirika thought silently.

"We have been very merciful to Mirika, you must know that some nobles will even take this as a good opportunity to make money, if you set a precedent for these untouchables, then they will think that it is deserved, and if this kind of thing happens in the future, they will come over and turn over the old accounts, so the infamy will be concentrated on us, so don't even think about this kind of thing in the future, as for those fugitives, they will be wanted, and once they are caught, they will be severely punished!" Earlier, Farley had already begun to hand over the affairs of the territory to Mirika, and the human nobles of Azeroth were actually very relaxed, and they had their subordinates to deal with small and trivial matters, and those mayors were appointed for this purpose, and they only needed to deal with some major matters, such as checking tax information, and establishing good relations with the surrounding nobles.

But in fact, it is said that it is decentralized, and the documents that Mirika has processed will still be sent to Faraed's desk for final decision before execution.

That's why he can ask this question.

Farley took a cold sip of red wine, he suddenly felt that Mirika's heart was still too kind, such kindness was easy to be taken advantage of, she had to suffer a loss, it was best to let her experience the darkness of human nature from some small things, and then she would think about the family as the center.

But how......

Seeing Mirika pouting and looking unhappy, Farley suddenly thought of a good idea.

"How have you been with Pyder lately?"

At the mention of Pyde, Mirika's already depressed little face instantly darkened.

"I don't want to mention him!" I saw her purses her mouth, and her eyes were full of resentment.

With such an expression, a hint of inexplicable smile appeared in Farley's eyes.

"How's that going to work? Pyde is your fiancΓ©, the one who wants to spend your life with you, how can you not have a good relationship with him? For a woman like his daughter who wants to inherit the family, a son-in-law is indispensable, and Patrick is the most suitable person he chooses for Mirika.

Although he was only born in a small aristocratic family, he was selected by the archmage of Dalaran because he was born with a good mage talent, and it is no surprise that he will be an archmage-level figure in the future, and only such a person can match his daughter.

"But...... But I don't like him......" Mirika gritted her teeth and said, "He's more than ten years older than me......"

"Age can't be an issue, Mirika, you have to know that all the decisions I make are for your good, for the good of the Esenstead family."

"For the sake of the Eisenstead family...... Mirika muttered quietly.

Farley heard it clearly, but he pretended not to hear it, and instead smiled inexplicably.

"But as a future lord, of course you can live by your own will, you look at me, I don't like your mother either, I haven't touched her since she gave birth to you, and I even look for other women in front of her."

At the mention of this, Mirika suddenly felt a sullen in her heart, her biological mother died depressed, as a daughter, how could she not be angry, but what could she do, Mirika didn't want to discuss this with Farley, and planned to eat two bites casually and leave, but she obviously didn't notice the first half of Farley's sentence.

"So if you become a lord, what kind of man do you want to find, and who can stop you......"

"Bang dang!" With a bang, Mirika's spoons fell on the table, what did she hear, a father who told his daughter that she could cheat after marriage?

Farley ignored her, but continued to chatter: "As long as you make sure that your first child is his, and you can let your bloodline have the first inheritance, he should be content, and no one can blame you for how many mistresses you want to find next, remember Mirika, you will be the one who stands at the top of Shining Gold Town in the future." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Mirika staggered away, her mind was so full of chaos that she didn't even know what Farley was saying next, and Farley looked at Mirika's departing back with a smirk.

As a father, teaching his daughter to cheat is naturally a very strange thing, although he doesn't need to teach him, the future Mirika will do the same after becoming a lord, but it is very embarrassing for father and daughter to communicate like this.

He had a good intention, and in order to protect Mirika, she was monitored by his men at all times, so he naturally knew that she liked a knight captain.

In his plan, he is to guide Mirika and let her know that marriage and love do not have to sacrifice one or the other, she can have both, and then she will find the knight captain and tell him the good news, and after that, if he secretly manipulates it, Mirika "accidentally" discovers that the knight captain is approaching her only for status and wealth, making her feel betrayed......

Haha, with love as a sacrifice, then she shouldn't trust anyone anymore.

As for how paranoid Mirika will become next, he doesn't care how many mistresses she will find to vent, he just needs to make sure that Mirika is no longer merciful, as long as she has the ability to sit on the throne of the lord......

But how to do it, he still had to plan carefully, and this plan had to be very rigorous, and just as he was discussing it with a few of his cronies in his study, a guard hurried in.

"Your Lord! We are under siege......"

………………

Farley had never seen so many enemies in his life, and almost all the mountains were full of refugees dressed in tatters.

Rebellion? This was his first thought, he didn't even dare to think about such a large-scale rebellion, and even Defia couldn't organize such a team.

However, he soon stopped thinking about the mess, such a team was obviously not something he could resist, and he had to find a way to deal with it.

"Tell Stormwind! Let them bring reinforcements! Farley roared like madness, and several of the knights of Lambi suddenly reacted at this time, and hurriedly rushed to carry out the mission, which was a mission for life.

Next, Farley was thinking about how to hold on until the reinforcements arrived, with the army he was now in his hands it was obviously not possible, but what kind of place is Shining Gold Town, this is the transportation hub of the Stormwind Kingdom, and the most important thing here is adventurers!

"Go and issue my orders! Gather all adventurers and just help me deal with this war! I'll give them ten gold coins each! No! Fifty! "Fifty for a life, that's the price for a pariah, in Farley's opinion.

After doing all this, he breathed a sigh of relief, it should be okay, these should be enough to deal with these poorly equipped refugees......

However, things always came out of his expectations, a group of majestic figures walked out of the refugees, the leader of the Falei recognized, he recognized all the great nobles of the kingdom, this guardian of the western realm he would not be wrong even if he was blind......

What's going on!!!?

Then he saw the knights begin to bewitch the crowd in the town.

………………

Farley was a little dazed, he didn't hear a word of the demagogic words below, everything today was beyond his acceptance.

As the territory of the hinterland of the kingdom, this place should be the safest, even if it is a refugee riot, it should be small-scale, even if there is a fight with the nobles, it will not be the big nobles.

However, all of this strangely combined into this scene in front of you.

Beside them, these civilians began to waver under the bewitchment of Grian and those paladins, and Farley came to his senses in a trance.

Looking at the eyes around him that had obviously begun to have bad intentions, he knew that now was not the time to hesitate, he would definitely not be able to stop these people, now was not the time to hesitate, he had to find a way to escape!

Mirika!

Of course, he did not forget his only daughter, and hurried back to the lord's palace, he found Mirika at the first time, and was about to flee here under the escort of the knights, but a desperate scene happened, the inhabitants of the city were successfully rebelled, and now there was only a knightly guard composed of nobles by his side.

"My lord! What are we going to do!? The knights asked helplessly.

What to do? The devil knows what to do!

Farley couldn't help it, but after seeing his daughter, a thought suddenly flashed to him.

"There's a hidden basement here! We're going there, the tunnels are very narrow, the numerical advantage is gone, as long as we can hold out until Stormwind reinforcements arrive, we'll survive! ”

Then they did so, but the stubborn knights who had gathered at the entrance of the tunnel did not realize that Farley was whispering something to his daughter.

"Didn't Pyde give you a magic item to communicate!? Go and ask him for help, only the power of magic can save us now! ”

"But...... But I threw it away......" Mirika panicked like a bunny.

"No, I didn't throw it, I picked it up and left it here......"
