Chapter 14: The Banquet Turmoil
The Nogferg Flask is a magical potion that allows the person who drinks it to gain a random effect, transforming into a skeleton, applying levitation, or being shorter than a goblin or gnome. Many adventurers have done a lot of incredible things with the effects of potions.
Brad remembers that this potion was sold quite well, and the direct impact was to make a worthless silk goblin a trading magnate, and later took control of Garkison, the only city in Tanaris after the cataclysm, and became the number one among the goblins.
And now, Brad was staring blankly at such a recipe in the backyard of the Lord's Mansion.
This recipe was offered by the kobold when Brad sent someone to call the kobold geodiviner to attend the dinner, and according to the urine of the system, this is the random recipe after completing the mine quest.
Brad remembers the legend of adventurers that in order to obtain a potion, you must first help the goblins gather materials, including the glands of an elemental creature, and find an aquatic mushroom to make a special spice.
However, the material recorded in this recipe is not at all the same as he remembers, and Brad guesses that either this recipe is not the same as he remembers, or that the damn goblin is too cunning to monopolize sales and confuse the public.
"My lord, all the people have arrived, just waiting for you to pass." A guard interrupted Brad's thoughts.
Now the entire Jasper Lord's square is full of people, and all the lords have gathered here to wait for the arrival of the lord.
Brad stood on the steps of the town hall, looked at the villagers who were quietly waiting for his speech, and said loudly: "The people of the Jasper Collar, our manager has suffered a lot this year. We have lost many, many things in these sufferings. ”
"Here, I would like to thank the hard-working absentees who have persevered for more than three months without any pay. I would also like to thank the peasants, who have persevered here even after most of them chose to leave, so that the people still have a bite to eat. Finally, I would like to thank the guards who bravely defended us, who fought on the front lines no matter how dangerous they were, and held up a piece of the sky for our villagers. ”
Looking at the villagers who were clapping desperately with tears in their eyes, even Caitlin, who had nothing to do with this territory, was moved, and thought of what happened to her, muttering to herself: "What a lucky guy......"
Brad pressed down his hands, and after the villagers had regained their composure, he smiled and said, "Okay, that's all for the words of remembrance." The purpose of my meeting today is not to deceive your tears, but to thank you for your contributions. By the way, the arrangements for the future. ”
"First of all, I want to tell you one news, that is, our Jasper Territory will no longer be subordinate to the Lordaeron Kingdom from now on, which means that the mines and farms will completely belong to us in the future, and the tax territory handed over to the Kingdom will no longer be collected."
The villagers cheered, which meant that they would no longer have to pay taxes to the kingdom, and their profits would increase, mainly because they were dissatisfied with the tragedy caused by the kingdom's transfer of the territory's troops.
"Second, I'm going to ......"
Brad's speech was interrupted by the sound of horses' hooves, and a group of soldiers dressed in Lordaeron's Army galloped towards the square, and although they saw the crowd in the square, they did not show the slightest sign of slowing down.
"Spread out, spread out." Moore shouted as he protected Brad behind him.
The soldiers on the horse looked at the panicked scattered people, and the unbridled Da Lang laughed and galloped wildly, and the leading knight suddenly pulled the reins when he rushed to More, and the front hooves of the horses were raised and fell to More's body.
"That's the lord of this broken village, and I'm going to talk to General Ben." The knight who took the lead just glanced at everyone lightly, and then raised the leader high, with an arrogant look.
Brad forcibly suppressed his anger, pushed Moore away, and said in a calm tone: "I am the lord of this village, please tell me something." ”
The knight didn't even look at Brad, with a flick of his right hand, a piece of parchment appeared in his hand, and said in an indifferent tone: "I have conveyed the will of the prince of the great Lordaeron Kingdom, hurry up and kneel down and listen to the order." ”
The leaders were in an uproar, but Mo Er and the others were furious: "You are looking for death, the young master will give the order and kill them." ”
Brad smiled, his fingers lightly slicing between the cold scales of Xiaobai, "There's no need to kneel, just say something, get out of here after speaking, the master doesn't like to see blood before the banquet." ”
"The general is angry, the general is angry, he is still a little kid, why bother to see him in general." A shiny old man in a black tuxedo combed his silver hair and graciously grabbed the knight's reins.
"Okay, I'll give you a face, and it's up to you to convey the prince's orders." The knight snorted and tossed the parchment to the old man.
"Young master, the old slave has asked you to say goodbye." The old man meticulously gave Brad a noble salute.
"Yo, isn't this the old butler? After changing the new master, the whole spirit is different, I almost didn't recognize it, why don't you lick your old face and lick your new master's feet, and run to this place where birds don't. I haven't seen you in months, and I miss you old. Brad grabbed the old man with a smile on his face.
"Ahem." The old man's face turned red, and he pushed Brad's hand away without a trace, "Young master, oh no, it should be the lord now, the old slave, I am here to retrieve what belongs to me." ”
"Look, I said that you are old and forgetful, and you don't like to hear it, this is all about our territory." Brad turned around and said, "Moore and Sister Na have learned this, this is a role model."
Brad slapped his forehead, "Look at me, forget about business." The old housekeeper came back to get what belonged to him, Sister Na, you find someone to go to the old housekeeper's room, and send someone to move the table, chair, basin, etc., in short, send someone to the old housekeeper to move it. The old people miss the old, we have to understand. ”
"Ahem...... even if an old butler's face is so much under the gaze of so many lords, not only his face turned red, "Lord Lord, what the old slave said is not these. ”
Brad asked abruptly: "What is that, could it be that you buried the coffin in the lord's mansion, don't worry that no one has moved, you can go in and find it." ”
The old butler was speechless, covered his face and handed the parchment to Brad, "Look for yourself." ”
Brad took the parchment, looked at it a few times, and shouted at the people with a smile: "Ha, listen to the teachings of the prince as well."
First, due to rampant piracy and a shortage of troops, there are no more troops sent to our territory. said that our jasper leaders are resolute and brave, so the tide of fishmen no longer gives us protection. ”
"Okay, don't make any noise." Brad quieted the crowd, "Number two, order that the Northeast Farm be returned to its rightful owner. Ha, that's a wise one. ”
Hearing Brad's agreement, the leading knight showed a disdainful smile, and the old butler's old face was about to smile like a chrysanthemum, "So, you agreed?" ”
"Agreed, how could I disagree with such a wise decision."
"Originally, the Northeast Farm was not ready to be wanted, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Prince to have to return it, since His Royal Highness the Prince has an order, then the old housekeeper, you will move out of the farm today." You are so loyal to the prince, you must have a great future, and don't forget your hometown when you are developed in the future. Brad gently patted the butler on the shoulder.
The old butler was dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked, "Lord Lord, are you mistaken?" ”
"Wrong, how can it be wrong, the thing will return to its original owner, don't you just say it." Brad asked suspiciously, "You say, whose farm is it originally?" ”
"Of course it's the old slave's, and it was given to the old slave by the old lord's own order." The old butler said eagerly.
"That's right. It used to belong to the territory, but then my father gave it to you, and I didn't want to come back with you, don't you see that you all transported this season's grain to other territories, and I didn't interfere. Now the prince orders the goods to be returned to their original owners, prince, what a big official, his old man will scare me to pee when he says a word, do I dare not listen? "Don't make it difficult for the prince, move quickly.
"This, this ,......" the old butler was anxious, and looked at the knight for help.
"Useless waste." The knight scolded the old butler, pointed the big sword at Brad, and said arrogantly: "The prince decrees that from now on, the Northeast Farm will no longer belong to the Jasper Territory." “
Brad was furious, "Bold, the prince's order is clearly written on this, you dare to distort the facts, so don't put the great prince in the eyes of the ass, it's really uncle can bear it, aunt can't bear it." ”
Before they could react, Brad shouted, "Come on, take down these lawless fanatics." ”
Moore and the guards couldn't bear it anymore and immediately pounced.
"It's the other way around, it's the other way around, it's really the offspring of the anti-thief......" Before he finished speaking, he was the first to be put down by Mohr, and the fourth order had no suspense about the second order.
In just a few seconds, a group of soldiers and a few farm managers led by the old butler were put to the ground by a group of guards, and they kicked wildly.
Brad kicked the Rider on the head a few times before shouting, "Stop, stop." What kind of system is this, how can it be beaten in a group, it's too embarrassing for the people of the jasper collar. ”
A group of people with shoe prints all over their bodies swayed to their feet under each other's support, and the leading knight was the worst person, because he was the most arrogant just now, and his whole face was swollen and he probably didn't even recognize his parents.
"Boom, boom, stuffy, file, on, on, on, on, Shake. Pass. Mother. Guys. Target. Target. Vaguely put down a cruel sentence and walked out with each other's support, obviously trying to run away.
The old butler was not lightly injured, and he still hadn't stood up, but just stared at him with vicious eyes, Brad: "I, I, underestimate you, king, prince, adults don't ......"
But he could no longer say this, because his head was cut off by Moore's sword.
"Young master, forgive me, I really can't help it."
Brad waved his hand, unimpressed.
"Just let those soldiers go? They will definitely come back to take revenge after suffering a loss this time. Moore said worriedly.
Brad unleashed the Spider Mother and said in a soft voice, "Go tell your children that their dinner is coming." Recognize it, but don't eat it wrong, it's not good to hurt other flowers and plants. ”
The mistress of the eight houses flashed a bloodthirsty light and ran out of the village in one direction.
"Sister Na, hasn't Maria come back yet?" Brad asked.
"Nope."
Brad gently stroked Xiaobai's smooth and icy scales, and said in a slow and cold tone, "It seems that they are still holding a fluke mentality. More, you take the guards to the various farms, and kill anyone who privately transports grain to the outside world. Whoever takes refuge in Lordaeron - kill. Whoever resists the harvest - kills. ”
Brad's three kills and one came out, and the entire square fell into a deathly silence. PS: Because I received a background message to sign a contract, the editor greatly changed the title of the book, so the title of the book was changed to Hero Lord, but the content will not change, it is still the original. No changes will be made, and the outline will not be touched at all. I really thank the book friends who supported this book, if it weren't for your support, I guess it would have been a disaster. So, I'm going to work harder to write well. In addition, the contract will be mailed tomorrow, so please feel free to collect and recommend it. I still don't promise anything, I just believe that things will be done, so we'll see......
