Back in the Dragoncourt Woodlands, no matter how reluctant the Dwarven Elders and Goblin Chiefs were, Zoro would make the population structure of his realm predominantly human. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 So he generously accepted refugees from several other towns.

Regarding the construction of the lord's residence, the help of dwarves and goblins and even refugees saved Sauron a large sum of gold.

Seven days later, the lord's residence was officially inaugurated.

Counting upwards from the first floor, each floor is decorated with horizontally divided multi-layered corners, and the top is crowned with a heavy cornice with a small amount of simple carving. Looking up, on the lighted side of the building, the windows are neatly arranged, with stone frames at the edges, and the tops are decorated with circular patterns that mimic the rays of the sun.

As a whole, you can see that the roof of the building is high, and the lower part of the wall is made of dark wainscoting, and the upper part is plastered. …… It is stronger than any other building in the town, and is made of stone of different textures in layers.

From now on, this lord's mansion has become the only surface building in the Dragon Court Woodland.

At this time, you will enter the newly completed lord's residence.

The hall, which was the center of the lord's life, was a huge rectangular room, austere and dignified.

On weekdays, the lord can eat and drink here, as well as conduct daily affairs here.

"Dear Baroness, more than a month of hard work has not been in vain. The Construction Guild of Black Mountain City has built a fully functional and solemn lord's mansion for you. ”

Morkin, a guild merchant who came to Black Mountain, was dressed very well. The striped tunic popular among the nobility and the upper class was draped over a black round cloak, which was fastened to the chest.

And the baronial lord in his mouth, Lord Zoro of the Dragon Court Woodland, looked like he was just a teenager.

"Moore King, you are an honest businessman. Architects and craftsmen from the building guilds have an enviable level of craftsmanship. ”

Reached out and took the contract from the other party's hand. Glancing at the handwriting on the contract, he immediately took out the seal of pure gold and stamped it with a striking red mark.

Then he put the seal away. And in this world, regardless of men's and women's clothing, everyone usually has a small pouch hanging from their belt, usually made of leather. It is used to hold small items such as change and keys. In daily life, it can bring a lot of convenience to Zoro.

Even if it is a labor order, dwarves and goblins can be requisitioned, and the completion of a formal building is inseparable from the construction guild.

Speaking of the guild system, it has its own relatively strict and detailed regulations. In particular, large guilds such as the Construction Guild strictly guaranteed the equal rights and obligations of members of all classes internally, and implemented a monopoly system with no other semicolon externally.

The monopoly system worsened the distribution of wealth, and many guild merchants made a lot of money.

In this situation, gold coins became the only criterion for the guild merchants to carry out their professionalism, as long as you had sufficient financial resources. The towering and magnificent cathedral, the solemn and majestic lord's residence, the sturdy watchtowers and gates, and even the castle fortress are all not dreams.

Sauron's style of doing things tends to use logical thinking, to peek into the whole of things from the point where they are revealed.

"It is not difficult to find that the art of building the guild has reached a state of near-perfection in this newly completed official residence."

Zoro's perception is not groundless. In fact, with the exception of the rarer profession of architect, the common production professions such as baker, foundry, hardware, tanner, swordsmith, etc., served the guilds. In addition to the construction of guilds, various skill guilds appeared, such as clothing and textile technology, liquor brewing technology, precious metal engraving and casting technology, and iron refining.

It is known that in order to ensure their monopoly position, the guild had to pay a large amount of taxes to the king and lord of the guild seat every year.

Some large guilds will even use bribes and taxes to allow themselves to obtain relatively independent internal jurisdiction and protect the army to solve various problems encountered in business.

At the same time, the great guilds were to fulfill the obligation that when the kingdom or the territory in which a branch was stationed was to go to war, the guilds were to contribute to the battle as a separate army or squad, and in terms of warfare, they had their own weapons and commanders.

To sum up, no nobleman with a territory would be willing to offend a powerful guild like the Construction Guild, unless the noble lord's brain seeped water.

Needless to say, Zoro also hopes that in the future, when Lorcadan becomes a city, there will be a large number of guilds to enter his territory.

Later, Sauron returned the land to Molkin, a merchant from the Builder's Guild, and showed a more symbolic friendly smile, "A big guild like the Builder's Guild, and an honest merchant like you, deserve the respect of every nobleman." Now you can go to my valet Behringer with the contract and receive my personal thank you in addition to the 200 gold coins for the project! ”

The contract fell into the hands of the guild merchant Morkin, and Sauron was soon praised by the other party.

"Dear Baroness, you have noble royal blood, and the Dander royal family has a very good credit history in the Construction Guild. At the same time, in the eyes of the Construction Guild, you attach great importance to your project, which is why we will come so quickly! ”

Morkin bowed slightly before leaving the lord's hall.

Afterwards, Sauron did not forget to instruct his attendants to entertain the merchant from the Construction Guild before the construction team left.

Seeing the guild merchant Morkin leave, Zoro observes the flow of data about the entire realm through the One Ring.

――――――――――――――――

The data is so comprehensive that it only takes a few seconds to give Zoro an unobstructed view.

During the scan of this set of data, the only thing that made his eyes solemn was the pious column.

From the previous data, there is already a basic understanding.

"First of all, the Dande Kingdom does not stipulate that you must believe in a certain god, so in the territory of the Dande Kingdom, piety is not necessarily related to faith."

Zoro heard from Thorin that there was a lord in the Dragon Court Woodland who was burned alive by the Inquisitors of the Azure Temple in the past. Nominally a taboo-breaking heretic, the Azure Temple has been fighting to turn the Dragon Court Woodland into the Azure Temple's private domain.

The people of the temple can execute a lord at will, and the only point that has caused this situation is that although the kingdom of Dande does not believe in a particular god, it does not oppose any temple.

"So give the divine right a dark power zone, they can kill the heresy in their eyes without breaking the law, the presence of the temple in the Dande Kingdom has been seriously weakened, and as a lord of the Dande Kingdom, if you don't have enough strength to defend yourself, you don't have a good relationship with the temple of gods. Then if you are killed by the inquisitor of a certain temple, you can only blame yourself for being unlucky. No one will speak for you. ”

Zoro suddenly remembered the commander of the Sun Temple named Pehin that he had met in the Cicada tribe before.

He pondered for a moment how to solve the problem of the crisis of piety. In front of Sauron's eyes, the flow of data would not stop because of this, and data about the lord's residence emerged.

――――――――――――――――

A new building has been completed, costing a total of 200 gold.

[Lord's Residence: Town level.] While showing the dignity and majesty of the lord, he can handle the daily affairs of the town more quickly and effectively. 】

[Hint: Get a new retinue, Lord Guard.] 】

Refresh liege list of liege's followers:

Male valet. (Having a faithful valet is a choice you don't regret.) ）

Maid. (Having an attentive maid will take care of your daily life and bring you health and hygiene.) ）

Finance Officer. (Having a smart financial officer will help you a lot when it comes to managing your finances.) ）

Guard officer. (Having a dutiful guard officer will keep you safe and give you a sense of security at all times.) ）

――――――――――――――――――

"Lord Lord, there are two refugees who have come to the Dragon Court Woodland who want to see you, a bachelor who claims to be able to handle your finances, and a soldier who wants to see you, who claims to have superb martial arts and fearless courage." As the lord's handmaiden, the dwarf Lori Anne changed into a standard maid dress and appeared at the door of the lord's hall.

Her dress was made of white linen with tight cuffs. There is some simple embroidery on the cuffs, and a beautiful flowing looking lacing, and a few rows of convex stripes under the collar.

"Let him in."

From the above data attributes, there is just one more guard officer and one financial officer attendant, and the relevant reality is reflected.

In Zoro's view, the hint of this data stream seems to be accurate.

"Yes, my lord."

Abiding by etiquette is the basic quality that a maid should have. Hearing the lord's words, Anne did not forget to bow slightly before leaving.

Later.

A young soldier with a burly figure came to Sauron.

Under Zoro's gaze, the other party has a very broad and strong chest. On the chest of the shiny black leather armor hung a glittering medal of courage.

"A strong human." A brief evaluation from the Ringwraith.

The gaze was fixed on the light blue pupils of the other party. A loud and deep voice echoed in Sauron's ears. "Honorable Lord, I am an eighth-level knight of Black Iron, a tribune from the town of Black Mountain. Now I have lost my lords and towns as the subjects of your fiefdom and the bravest soldiers under your command. Soldier Leon, who wants to redeem his lost honor and become your loyal guard. ”

In front of him, soldier Leon fell to one knee.

In fact, if you want to know whether the other party can become a qualified guard officer, you basically don't have to think too much, you only need to meditate on the control of data flow in your heart.

He is a wizard of the tenth level of black iron, if the other party is not lying, he should see through the attributes of the eighth level of black iron, and with the attitude of giving it a try, Zoro set his eyes on Leon.

The results shown by the data flow did not disappoint him.

――――――――――

Name: Leon.

Age: 28 years old.

Race: Human.

Attributes: Strength 80, Agility 70, Constitution 100, Intelligence 7, Perception 30.

Faction: Order and Justice.

Class: Warrior - Black Iron Level 8. Knight - Black Iron Rank 8. Swordsman - Black Iron Rank 9.

Status: Good.

Professional skill - the power of black iron level 8. Black Iron Riding Skills.

Personal Expertise - Loyalty and Fearlessness.

10 intelligence points can be remembered, so 7 intelligence is not low. 100 points of constitution is the peak state, and 99 points may be the effect of fatigue.

As for the strength points, all of them are directly proportional to the level of the class, generally increasing the strength by one level will add 10 points, and the agility consummation points are 100 points.

But what Sauron really values is his personal expertise.

So he was very satisfied that the other party had become his bodyguard. Sauron's face showed the majesty of a lord at the right time, "Leon, you will be my guard officer." As the only legitimate lord of the Longting Woodland Town, I will trust your oath and loyalty incomparably! ”
