Gordon had thought that the Acting Quincy Governor had colluded with the local tribe and wanted to emulate the Able. Aldrich, who became another king of Hyven, who knew that he was just too sloppy, and even the town hall was taken away by others.

While Gordon was interrogating the aborigines who occupied the town hall, Yang Qi. Pointed ears came suddenly. The half-elf walked up to Gordon with a half-bald head and a lean middle-aged man: "My lord, when I was patrolling the camp outside the city, I caught this sneaky guy. ”

The half-elf kicked lightly in the crook of the middle-aged man's leg, and the latter immediately stumbled forward, threw himself at Gordon's feet, and cried out incessantly: "Misunderstanding, Lord Count Hyven, misunderstanding!" ”

Gordon looked at the other party's slightly old aristocratic robes, and immediately guessed his identity: "You are Quincy?" ”

Seeing that Gordon had no intention of making a move, the middle-aged man finally breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded without hesitation: "Yes, my lord, I am the acting political officer of Cloud Scale City, Quincy. Sir Tarantino. ”

After speaking, the middle-aged man took out a metal cylinder from his coat pocket, and then pulled out a roll of parchment from it. He spread out the parchment and presented it to Gordon, who glanced at the words on the paper and knew that it was this Quincy. Letter of Appointment of Sir Tarantino as Acting Administrative Officer. The bright red dragon god seal emitted a special magical aura, indicating that it was not a forgery.

After proving his identity, Gordon made Quincy stand up and asked, "Since you're an Imperial official, why are you sneaking around outside my camp?" Have you betrayed the Platinum Dragon? Taken refuge in the unruly aborigines of the peninsula who want to rebel? ”

"My lord, this is a pure misunderstanding!" Quincy sighed. He struggled to squeeze out a sad expression on his face: "I just heard that the newly canonized lord of the Haiwen Peninsula by His Majesty the Emperor has arrived in Cloud Scale City, so I just want to take a look at the situation." Who knows that warrior...... The vigilance was too high, and they arrested me as a spy with bad intentions, alas. ”

Seeing that the other party began to sigh, Gordon ignored it and asked, "Since you want to come and see the situation, why don't you come to visit in the open?" If you had brought out your power of attorney earlier, I'm afraid no one would have embarrassed you? ”

"This ......," Sir Quincy grimaced. Bite one's tongue.

Gordon chuckled and said, "I'll help you answer." It's because you're the acting administrative officer of Cloud Scale City appointed by the Empire, but you can't govern the city well, and even the city hall has been robbed of people, so you don't have the face to come to see me, let alone tell me the actual situation, right? ”

Sir Quincy looked at the pile of corpses in front of the town hall. Knowing that Gordon probably already knew his current situation, he didn't defend anything, just nodded honestly.

When Gordon saw the other party's wretched look, he really felt angry and funny, and he didn't even have the heart to accuse the other party of dereliction of duty.

The nobles who can be appointed by the empire to come to the Haiwen Peninsula are probably except for Gordon's own initiative. They are all nobles who can't get along in other provinces. How much of a person can make a career out of such a complex environment as the Haiwen Peninsula?

At least, this Quincy. Tarantino lived until now and did not die. It's an achievement.

"Well...... "Gordon," said Gordon, "the things of the previous life. I won't pursue it anymore. But Sir Quincy, if you can't show your worth, then I'm not going to keep a piece of waste, so please take care of yourself. ”

When Sir Quincy heard this, he was so frightened that he almost cried. If Gordon hadn't been on his horse, he would have stumbled over and hugged the latter's thigh.

"My lord, my family is still in the hands of the Salous, and I hope that when you arrive, you will help me rescue them. You are the war hero of the Empire, and such a small thing is too simple for you. I don't have anyone else to turn to but you......"

"Salou?" Gordon glanced at the other captives lying motionless on the ground and asked, "Is that them?" ”

Sir Quincy nodded his head: "Yes, these are the people. The Salou are the natives who live in the swamps, worship the evil god Zehir, like to raise poisonous snakes, and the whole tribe is fierce and aggressive, and its power has expanded extremely rapidly in recent years. ”

Gordon thought for a moment, and the Salou men had indeed wanted to get something out of their wriggling pockets in their waists when they rushed out of the town hall in that one-sided, almost massacre battle. But before they could do it, they were blown to smithereens by Gordon's fireball technique.

Gordon gave Chuck a look. The latter immediately understood, rummaged through the corpses for a while, and then walked back with a few poisonous snakes that had already been roasted: "Hey, my lord, Rufus's supper has fallen. ”

"Brother, I hate snake ......" Xie Ona frowned, and involuntarily rode her horse back a step.

"I didn't expect that the famous battlefield angels of the Ferreton Empire also have nasty things."

"Brother! People are girls too! ”

"Really? There is no evidence for the words, and I can confirm it until I check it carefully......"

Seeing Xie Ona looking at him with an annoyed expression, Gordon decided to restrain for the time being. He turned to the Acting Administrator again and said, "Quincy. Sir Tarantino, no matter how miserable your situation may be, my position remains the same. The Freeman family does not raise waste. If you can prove your worth, then I can accept your allegiance and, naturally, provide shelter to your family. If you're good for nothing, why should I help a waste for nothing? ”

Gordon assumes the pose of a human resources manager recruiting new employees.

Perhaps stimulated by the word "waste", Sir Quincy finally stopped crying and crying. He adjusted his feelings and said to Gordon, "My lord, I ...... Although I did not know much about government affairs or military affairs, I did have some research in miscellaneous fields such as language and geography. I speak the languages of all the indigenous tribes throughout the Haiwen Peninsula. And. I also drew up a detailed map of the peninsula showing the areas of activity of the seventy-seven local tribes throughout the region. There are also the topography, specialties, climatic conditions, and so on. In fact, if it weren't for the last time I went on an expedition deep into Mount Waisula with my guards, I was the only one who escaped, and the Salous took advantage of it and took not only the town hall, but also my family. ”

"I'm new to the city and I really need someone who knows a lot about the local situation." Gordon nodded. Originally, Larry was a good fit. However, the beastman's allegiance was to Hensel and Greda, so it was impossible for Gordon to use him.

Just now, Quincy said all the information about the Salou tribe in a few words, which had already made Gordon think. To confirm further, he asked, "So, where is your map?" ”

Quincy looked at the Salou captives: "It's in the town hall. Actually, the Salou came to capture the town hall in order to get my map. But these idiots with swamp mud in their heads. It's impossible to find the location where I'm hiding the map. ”

"Don't be complacent, show me the map."

"Yes, my lord."

Seeing that Gordon was a little moved, Sir Quincy also breathed a sigh of relief. Accompanied by Chuck and two Redstone Guards, he enters the town hall. After a while, I came back with a waterproof and embalmed map.

Gordon took the map and looked at it for a moment. Nodding in satisfaction.

The map is indeed as detailed as Quincy claimed. It was very useful for him to understand the situation on the Haiwen Peninsula and to make a plan for governing the peninsula.

However, this map was valuable to him, the lord of Hyven. But for the Salou people who spend their days nesting in the swamp and playing with snakes. It shouldn't be of much use.

"Good. From now on, you are a retainer of the Freeman family. Sir Quincy. Gordon said, "I'll take care of your family's affairs." But I have to ask, why are the Salou people interested in this map? ”

Quincy first expressed her gratitude, and impassionedly vowed to be loyal to the Freeman family. When Gordon heard impatiently, he waved his hand to interrupt him before he said, "My lord, the patriarch of the Salou people thinks that my map contains the secrets of Mount Wesula, so he wants to get the map. They kidnapped my family for that purpose. ”

Mount Waisula is a term in some indigenous languages of the peninsula. If translated according to the lingua franca of the Empire, it should be the name "Mount Smitra".

This is not known how many times after entering the Hayven Peninsula, Gordon heard the name "Mount Waisula". The last time he met the knight Sigrid and Miss Ji'er, an old fisherman spoke for the first time of the highest mountain on the Hybon Peninsula. Moreover, it is said that there is a god living in the mountains, and because of the anger of that god, the crop yield of the entire southern peninsula is reduced.

"Forget it, there are still a lot of things that need to be solved at the moment, this so-called 'sacred mountain', let's talk about it later." Gordon made up his mind, and then put the map away.

Immediately afterward, he asked Chuck to release all the Salo captives.

"Your Excellency, is it ...... you to do this," Quincy hesitated.

"Isn't there something wrong?" Gordon asked rhetorically. Without waiting for Quincy to reply, he continued, "These captives will bring the news that I got this map back to the swamp. Since the patriarch of the Salou wanted to get this map so much, he either sent troops to rob it. Or send someone to negotiate with me and use your family to make a deal with me. Well, I guess they'll try the second method first. I'll naturally have a way to deal with it when the time comes. ”

"Excuse me, my lord, what is the solution?" Quincy asked. He knew he shouldn't have asked his new allegiance lord like this. In fact, he was excluded by the aristocratic circle in China at the beginning, because he couldn't control his mouth, and often asked questions that should not be asked and said things that should not be said. But now that he cares about his family, the middle-aged knight can only ask hard.

"It's nothing, since the other party wants this map, then I'll exchange it with him. He was interested in the sacred mountain, but I was different. Of course, you'll have to give me a copy of the map before you do that. ”

Since Gordon said so, Quincy had no objection. Anyway, there are no secrets about the Waisula Mountains on this map, just a misunderstanding caused by the Saluo patriarch who heard that he had gone deep into the mountains to investigate.

Although the town hall had been cleaned up, Gordon didn't plan to live in it. He just let Yang Qi. Sharpear led twenty redstone guards into the station. Use this as a base to gather information in Cloud Scale City.

Gordon has no interest in the messy and dirty city, and he returns to the camp. After resting for the night, early the next morning, he rushed to Strindberg with a large group of people.

In the fields near the castle, the peasants, who were bending over to work, immediately cast strange glances when they saw this brightly armored procession stop near Strindberg. There were even dark shadows scurrying back and forth in the trees in the distance.

Gordon was no longer surprised by this qiē. In fact, as early as when he arrived in Cloud Scale City, he had already appeared, and there were a lot of probing and surveillance eyes around him.

He, the Lord of Hyven, swaggered to Cloudscale City. It will definitely attract the attention of all forces. Perhaps early this morning, the killing of the Salou people stationed in the town hall last night has reached the ears of many well-intentioned people.

However, a full twelve hours passed, and not a single local tribe reached out to Gordon and swore allegiance. Everyone is still in a wait-and-see mode.

"Your Excellency, you can't blame the local tribes for being so cautious. After all, for more than ten years, the Empire has appointed a special administrator to the Haiwen Peninsula. Either you die or you don't care about anything. Quincy explained.

"Of course I know that. And for those who are still my people in name, I don't have the idea of blaming them for the time being. But when the form is clear, if they come to me to pay their allegiance, I am afraid that these people will not be able to sell for a good price. Gordon's face was shrouded in the shadows cast by Strindberg, giving a sense of uncertainty.

Quincy looked at the lord and remembered the horrific corpses in front of the town hall yesterday. A chill suddenly rose in his heart: "Although this Earl of Hypervon is young, he is by no means a person who can be easily dealt with. On the southern peninsula, there are not a few unruly and ambitious tribes. It seems that in the future, in the process of establishing the rule of the lord. It will definitely set off a bloody storm. ”

I don't know if it's because of something terrible in my mind, or because of the chill that emanates from the eerie Strindberg. Sir Quincy shuddered. Seeing this, Sigrid, who was following Gordon, couldn't help but ask, "Sir, are you cold?" The negative energy gathered in this castle is indeed amazing, and it is best for ordinary people not to get too close. ”

Quincy shook her head, "Miss Knight, I'm fine. But my lord, what are you going to do with this castle? ”

When the last special administrator arrived, the gloomy aura of Strindberg was not as pronounced as it is now, so the nobleman did not believe in evil, and moved in with a hundred guards, and then all of them died violently that night.

And now that the castle is in a state of "I'm dangerous, come in if you want to die", I'm afraid that even if there is a treasure in it that can be an enemy country, daring adventurers will have to carefully consider it before entering.

The straight-tempered Sigrid didn't wait for Gordon to speak, and said, "Do you still need to ask?" Of course, after being fully prepared, the Earl organized an elite team to enter Strindberg to explore, and then expelled all the evil inside. Isn't there a legend that only by conquering this castle can you gain recognition and become the true owner of this land? I'm sure the Earl will be able to do it. Then, after gaining the recognition and allegiance of the various clans, you can go and find an antidote for Ji'er......"

After a long time, the female knight was still thinking about the unconscious Miss Ji'er. Sigrid cares so much about Ji'er that even Gordon is a little suspicious that the two of them have some kind of special relationship in it......

"Those so-called legends are nothing more than Abel . Aldrich dug a pit, and you can't jump down, my lord. Lady Dinah said.

Because Strindberg's affair was related to the undead, Gordon called her too.

"Lady Dinah, you're a priest. Seeing such a castle entrenched by the evil spirits of the undead, shouldn't it be incumbent upon us to purify it? ”

"I am the priest of Riarya, not the righteous maniac of the Platinum Temple or the Temple of Dawn. Rather than expelling the undead, I would rather find a handsome guy to take a rose bath with. Lady Dinah shook her head and sighed, "But unfortunately, most of these aborigines on the peninsula do not meet my aesthetics. ”

Gordon glanced at Lady Dinah, who was lamenting like a resentful woman, and smiled, "You and your followers can find suitable partners in the army." As long as you don't try to seduce Chuck and these married men, I'm not against that. ”

"Lord Earl, don't you stop gossiping. Find out what's going on in Strindberg and get ready to go on an adventure. The female knight interrupted the conversation between the two men.

"My Sigrid, I think you're in a hurry. There are many ways to solve the castle's problems, and your choice is the dumbest and most dangerous. Gordon laughed. Who...... Who's your Sigrid......" the knight muttered quietly. If it weren't for the morning sun putting a soft golden layer on her cheeks, I'm afraid that the shy and blushing appearance of this knight lady would have been seen by everyone.

Gordon continued: "According to common sense, such as various written records, and even the content of adventure novels, when encountering this kind of murderous mansion entrenched by evil spirits, what the protagonist has to do is to gather an elite team with milk and output, and then go in to investigate, and finally defeat the powerful evil undead. I'm not going to do that, though. ”
