Chapter 027: Fell

What he didn't say was what Zoro reminded himself, "Data is always just a basis for judging, and a qualified guard officer should also be confirmed by reality." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

Leon, the guard officer, left, and stood in the empty hall of the lords.

In front of him, the only utensils currently in possession of the hall were mirrors given by the merchant of the Construction Guild, Morkin. A slightly raised metal disk, a piece of copper, has a highly polished surface with a mirrored surface that reflects light, set in a rectangular frame of beautifully carved wood.

"Speaking of which, this face is indeed very different from the previous life." Zoro was eye-level.

The young lord who appeared in the mirror, the childishness on his face had not been removed, but it had fully demonstrated the arrogance of a lord.

It was a feminine face that was not like a man, and it looked thoughtful at this time.

"Your lordship, your new treasurer, Old Phil, is here."

When the treasurer arrives, Zoro gets a hint from his maid Anne in advance.

The other party should have come for the current financial situation of the territory.

"My lord, the funds for the construction of the guild have been paid, and the finances of the Dragon Court Woodland are facing difficulties. So far, I have only 102 gold coins left in my account. Although this is a lot of money for a civilian. But trust me, it's just enough to equip your mansion with the right appliances. It was not enough to pay a village guard. ā€

Vertical and horizontal wrinkles are staggered on the face of the treasurer, the old Phil.

In Sauron's eyes, Old Lady Fell was an unsmiling and rigorous follower.

Not just from his serious attitude.

There is also the dress of the treasurer Fell.

Whether it is usual or going out, the washed and white robe that never leaves the body is always kept clean and tidy, and every detail is handled meticulously.

Once upon a time, loose-fitting one-piece robes were in vogue and were worn over tights. The sleeves are wide enough to allow you to move your arms freely, making it easy to move your whole body. There were not even buttons on the robe, which was bound only by a belt. No matter when and where, keeping the old habit of dressing, Old Fell always gives people a sense of stubbornness.

Looking at the one-piece robe on the treasurer's body, even the inconspicuous edges and corners were flat without a trace of wrinkles, and the corners of Zoro's mouth curled up slightly.

For a nobleman, a sense of humor is an indispensable quality in his mature personality.

Sauron cares a lot about this quality.

And in the eyes of the maid Anne, the lord's next words made her laugh a little for a while.

"Old Fell, you should listen to my advice. …… We only need to sell or dissolve all the gold utensils that the dwarves pay tribute to eat, and we can make up a lot of expenses. Believe me, a shabby lord won't need those gold plates for those delicious dwarven snacks for a while. I think it's a time-saving and effort-saving solution, what do you think, my treasurer? ā€

At this time, some interesting ideas suddenly sprung up in my mind.

If this striped jacket is still muddy, will old Phil be like a middle-aged woman who has stolen an old hen, and the whole person will jump up and scream.

It's not hard to imagine that would be an interesting picture......

Of course, this is just an interesting idea and can never be put into action. Treasurer Sr. Fell, a respected treasurer.

Old Fair's earnest and responsible attitude could be heard in the tone of his anguished tone that followed.

"Oh, the gods are above. Wise Lord! You have the blood of the noble royal family in your veins. If you were to give up the privilege of using gold, it would bring shame on the great Dande royal family. And as a dutiful financial officer, I had to go to the flogging to appease my frustrated heart because of my dereliction of duty. ā€

The treasurer's heart-wrenching voice pulled Zoro back from his unrealistically interesting fantasies.

Maester Fair is a stubborn old man. Zoro shrugged and had to put away the sense of humor that had never worked as expected on the treasurer Fell Sr.

"You are a dutiful treasurer, old Lady Fell, and I have always believed in that. As the Barony Lord of the Dragon Court Woodlands, I would give up this idea immediately. And as for the financial problems, I will deal with them immediately. ā€

In the end, Zoro's 'wisdom' made the financial officer Fell Sr. smile with a gratifying smile.

The treasurer, Fair Elder, bowed slightly before leaving, and indicated that all the utensils needed for the lord's residence had been purchased in detail from the Wood Art Guild. The premise, of course, is that Zoro levies the 'city gate tax' as soon as possible on the urban refugees who have taken refuge in the Longting Woodland.

Rubbing his eyebrows, revitalizing a resource-poor town is harder than imagined, it is the right of every lord to collect a gate tax on any poor merchant who enters or passes through the territory, but the Dragon Court Woodland can only be regarded as a village strictly speaking, there is not even a city gate, and the civilians who came to take refuge are already questioning the ability of the Dragon Court Woodland to shelter them, and Zoro doesn't know if doing so will be counterproductive.

But with the current influx of refugees, the stubborn dwarves are reluctant to give away their food stores for free, unless they are purchased with thousands.

…………

At present, there are many trolls who have become homeless because of the capture of the Skull Tribe by the Zhongpingling army, and after destroying the four major towns, they have completely become headless flies, and have become rangers, haunting the area of human activity.

Extraordinary times. Only a large guild such as the Architectural Guild can rely on its own strength and a position of order and neutrality to be free and unimpeded.

"In this way, the four human towns of Templeton, Bue, Onyx River Town, and Black Mountain Hills, almost all of them have been attacked by trolls."

At present, Zoro learned from the mouths of the refugees that the three major human towns of Templeton, Bouvier, and Onyx River Town have been completely finished, except for the uncertain life and death of the lord and the death of all the troops, the three towns have been attacked by a large number of ogres. In a matter of days, Longting Woodland has taken in more than 6,300 refugees.

"Yes, my lord. At this moment, only the people I sent to explore the town of Montenegro have not returned. Ares replied.

The Longting Woodland had already mobilized all its strength to go out to pick up the refugees who had fled in this direction.

The warning of the data flow was in front of him, and Sauron did not forget to remind Ares.

"Archon Ares, the Dragoncourt Woodland currently does not have enough shelter and lacks food and clothing, but I don't want it to be in turmoil. I'm sure you're already aware of that. ā€

Zoro's tone didn't mean to blame, but Ares's eyebrows were still twisted into two knots, as if he was worried about some difficult problem to solve. "My lord, I suspect that trolls are among these refugees. Therefore, they were kept separated from the dwarves and goblins, and they were not arranged to live in the dwarves' bag holes and the goblins' underground dwellings. Just to get rid of these trolls, we don't have enough manpower. ā€

Ares's difficulties were exactly what Sauron could think of.

"Temporarily recruit dwarves and goblins to form a temporary guard to check all refugees who enter the Dragon Court woodlands, whether they are transformed trolls or humans with suspicious appearances, and arrest and interrogate all those who are suspicious. Well, Jab and Behringer will also help you with the apprentices of the Shaded Castle. ā€

Ares strictly executed the orders of the Lord of the Dragon Court Woodlands.

The temporary measures adopted have basically brought the riots in the Longting Woodland under control, but individual riots still occur in some areas affected by the riots. In response, Sauron had to personally order Ares to kill two people in a bloody way to control the situation, and then search for the source of the riot.

"My lord, in addition to the outsiders who found soldiers among the refugees, we have found the main messenger behind the riots."

From Ares's face, Sauron saw a smiling expression that made him discourage him from dragging him out and executing him.

With Zoro's nod, Behringer tilted his shoulder, a discovery that made Ares both angry and amusement, and made Zoro a little curious.

When Zebron and Achilles entered the hall of the lords with a young girl under the guidance of Jab, even Sauron himself couldn't help but feel amused.
