In the cave of the bedroom--storeroom, the cargo takes up all the space from the ceiling to the floor to the wall. The old halfling Bordi looked at it for a moment, and then removed the crossbows, short bows, and bundles of crossbow arrows and feathered arrows that were piled up in the innermost part.

"These things can also be sold to civilians ......"

Bordy sighed: "Get a 50% discount...... No, three folds, it should be able to sell. ”

To make room, he moved in the boxes that were piled up in the store.

"Zold's Workshop Fire Arrow Short Gun, the purchase price is four gold bushels, and the price is nine gold bushels and nine silver pennies......"

"The wilderness version of the companion, the purchase price is three and a half gold bushels, and the price is eight gold bushels and eight silver pennies......"

"Wind Whisperer, damn it, how did I get fooled into this thing by those goblins? ”

"Fei Gong's version of military eagle glasses, the purchase price is eight gold bushels, and the sale is good for thirty ......"

"This is the best, the "Little Red vs. Heavenly Mountain" that has just been copied back, a set has to sell for five gold bushels, there is no negotiable!"

The old halfling muttered and cleaned up, and now his warehouse was much more organized, and each box was marked. There are more and more things sold, and the functions are becoming more and more complex, and he has long been unable to remember the detailed information. The brain has long been stuffed with adventurer items that have been sold all his life, and there is no room to fill it at all.

While he was busy, a familiar voice sounded outside: "Bordi!

Bordy was stunned and rushed out.

Humpty Dumpty's body almost rolled down the wooden ladder, nearly knocking over a row of four-legged folding self-propelled boards that lay vertically, and was stopped by the slime magic oil canister.

Bouldy held the faucet of the oil tank, smiled on his old face, and nodded to the other party: "Sir Flodo, why did you come to deliver the announcement in person?"

A group of halflings rode on donkeys, each wearing a cuirass and helmet that looked like bronze and mythril, and carrying a magic spear.

The halfling man in the lead was very young, and his delicate face showed a sincere smile because he saw Bordy: "This is my job." ”

He shook his big furry feet and said, "Although I am only a small administrator, I also serve Her Majesty, and I dare not slack off in the slightest." ”

Looking at the goods outside, even the chassis of the magic car, Flordo's smile deepened: "Bordi, I haven't seen you for a month, your business is getting bigger and bigger." ”

"Isn't that thanks to you?"

Boldy's smile at this time came from the bottom of his heart: "Stone Lizard Mountain is getting more and more lively, and you have to pass through here to come and go." With you taking care of me, and not letting those goblins squeeze me out of here, of course business is getting better and better......"

Realizing something, he quickly changed his words: "But my old bones, I don't understand more and more new things now, and I don't have as much vision as customers, and I can't make any money." ”

"I'm not a tax collector, so why don't you talk to me about this," Flordo sighed, "and if you're so busy, why don't you find some help?" ”

Bouldy shook his head and said, "All the little cubs want to go to the city to see the world, my nephew...... It's the one you've seen, sir, and he ran away with some people in half a month, saying that he was going to fly a plane. ”

"It's the guy named Kindili," Flodo said with a smile, "He's been selected to send to the flight school in Sachiton, and the empire's newly built flight unit needs a lot of halflings, and we went to the Lizard Mountain for more than a dozen young men that time." ”

"Is it a war?"

Bordy said worriedly, "Isn't that dangerous?

Flordo comforted, "With the blessing of Tesolos, I hope he is okay." And what a glorious thing it is to fight for Her Majesty, and maybe he will become a knight when he returns. ”

Bordy's old face was full of laughter: "Accept your auspicious words, among the four of you, you are the most noble, I said earlier." ”

The two talked for a while, and Bordy remembered what he was doing: "You just said...... Got a new announcement?"

Flodo handed a recording crystal to Bordy: "The kingdom is going to open a crash school for the Transcendents in Lizard Mountain, free of charge, in Aquarius Valley, and the announcement must be broadcast throughout the day." ”

"How dare I slack off on the affairs of the kingdom?"

Bordy took the crystal, went into the shop to operate it, and when he came out again, there was already an image on a screen under the signboard.

It was Her Majesty's speech, and Boldy's eyes lit up and his breathing lightened. Although Flodo and his subordinates had seen it many times, they were still standing tall and solemn, and their hands were touching their chests, as if the empress was there.

The Empress was short when she said that the empire needed its subjects to build and defend it, and to that end it would promote the growth of commoners into transcendents. The nations and lords under their rule would build schools, hire mentors, and teach the common people. Civilians of the appropriate age, who have no evil deeds, and who are not followers of evil gods under the rule of the Empire can sign up. Not only is the study free, but a job assignment is given after the completion of the course.

The Empress was followed by speeches by the Minister of Magic, Medi, and the Minister of the Interior, Brinto, on the differences and specifics between the School of Magic and the School of Divine Arts.

This was followed by Governor Redstone's speech, which talked about the specific policies on Redstone's side and the location, enrollment targets, and time limits of each school.

The Redstone Kingdom has a queen, but unfortunately the queen has not held a coronation, let alone presided over government affairs, and the affairs of the kingdom are handled by the governor appointed by the empire.

After reading the announcement, Bordi said with admiration: "What great news! Her Majesty the Empress deserves to be the most merciful and kind Majesty!"

"Of course", Frodo nodded at him, "I'll go first, and I'll go to a few other places to make announcements, and I'll make sure again when I come back." ”

Bordi suddenly had a thrill: "That...... Flodo, isn't this school hard to get into, do you have anything to do with it?"

There will only be one school built in the entire Stone Lizard Mountain, and it will still be a school of divine arts. Graduates of the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry will be assigned to places like Legions, Workshops, and Communication Towers, and graduates of the School of Magic may also be assigned to government departments such as the City Hall, which will inevitably be flocked to by civilians.

Flordo thought for a moment and sighed: "I have a few recommended places here, but there are other people to take care of, so I can only give you one place." Don't stuff people indiscriminately, there must be requirements for age, conduct and qualifications, and I will strictly review them. ”

Bouldy smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Then thank you, Sir!

"No thanks," Frodo said with a smile, "You used to take care of us a lot, and this is your deserved reward." ”

"Yes, you four used to be really sad," Bordy said with remembrance, "It's a pity that you came back." ”

Then he asked curiously: "I remember that time you made a big fuss about the slave caravan, and it seems that you also let go of two very important female slaves, and the leader of the caravan came to me several times to check, did you save them?"

With Flodo's current status, he naturally didn't have to worry about this, but his face was still covered by a layer of haze: "Okay, Bordi, this is not something you should care about. ”

Waving his hand to stop Bordi's incrimination, Frodo and his men continued on their way.

"Even Sam, Gomis, and Peake are estranged, not to mention Mayne. ”

The past churned in Flodo's heart, making the originally relaxed and happy mood worse.

"Although the road is not right on the Fallen Plateau, and there is always a war, Mayne and Sam should be doing well together. As for Gronia, she doesn't know where to go now after breaking with Mayne. ”

Flordo sighed deeply: "Why is it that everyone is not living well, why is it that Her Majesty, who is so holy and benevolent, still cannot gain their loyalty?"

"Are they really bad guys? No way, how can Sam and Peake be bad guys? Gomis is impregnated by the power of the evil gods, Mayne chose the path of Duke Prell out of desperation, they are not bad guys. Even Gronia is just a little stubborn and can't let go of the past, everyone is actually a good person. ”

"Wouldn't the world be at peace if you accept the rule of Her Majesty the Empress? Life is getting better day by day, why are there always so many senseless disputes, and people would rather risk their lives than fight?"

Flodo is a knight of the Empire, and this title was obtained for him by the Earl of Cold Spring, because the Duke of Prell said to the earl, "This is a nice little fellow, take good care of him".

Therefore, he was specially cared for by the Earl of Cold Spring, and in addition to the knighthood and the manor in his hometown, he also served as an administrator in the Lizard Mountain, which belonged to the direct jurisdiction of the kingdom.

Flordo is very grateful for this, when the Earl of Cold Spring mentions the Duke of Prell, he always pulls the empress and the duke together, saying that the two are actually lovers, and now all kinds of conflicts are just acting for outsiders, these words he thinks are very, but he still subconsciously calls Richie Prell the Duke of Prell, and is proud of having served him.

Flordo took care of the place of Lizard Mountain diligently, the Count of Cold Spring was a favorite of Her Majesty the Empress, and Flordo's superiors did not dare to embarrass him, and he lived happily and to the fullest here.

How nice it would be if life went on like this forever, Flordo was deeply touched by the oath that the Empress had made, and the change of epochs should be completed sooner, and everyone would live in peace.

His experience in Godfall Plateau and Koster taught him that this idea was actually very naïve, and the world was still changing. A few days ago, the world shook, and the Lizard Mountain collapsed several mountains. Then Duke Prell built a steel fortress that could walk, and it seemed that the kingdom of Koster was about to be taken into the Duke's pocket.

After sending the announcement, I patrolled the stone lizard mountain by the way. Frodo returns to his manor and finds that the change in the world has once again fallen on him, and the Earl of Cold Spring has an urgent matter to find him.

When he came to the county of Cold Spring, he was cordially received by the earl.

"Flodo, we are all Her Majesty's courtiers, and we must share Her Majesty's worries. ”

Count Zord of Cold Springs slumped on the couch and said to him, "Field Marshal Sylvie is in trouble in Bled and needs more legion support. We had a legion in Redstone ready, but Her Majesty had another use for it. Now I have to assemble a legion, and I also have the obligation to send troops on my side. ”

Flodo's heart trembled, the last conscription, the ruffians of Stonelizard Mountain, and those who misbehaved were all sent by him, and the inhabitants of Stonelizard Mountain praised his kindness and kindness. This time he is going to be called up again, and he is not facing a smile and applause, who wants to fight?

"Litchie is right, you're a good fellow, always thinking about other people", Zolde said with a smile, "So I'll talk to you in advance, and the Empire won't issue a conscription order in two days." Besides, since you've been with Richie, Prince Rimaco should recognize you, right?"

Frodo replied honestly: "I know His Royal Highness, but His Highness had already left there when I went." ”

Zelder waved his hand indifferently: "It's okay, since you have all been with Richie, he will definitely take care of you." I'm going to let you take command of a brigade on my side and go directly to serve on the Rhemak side, and you can bring your hometown people with you. In this way, it would be possible to avoid being transferred to the marshal. That marshal is too ruthless in using people, what happens to you, I can't deal with Li Qi. ”

Even if Flordo is simple-minded, he understands that Zelder is borrowing him to connect with Prince Rikako to avoid his subordinates being used as cannon fodder by Sylvie.

It was hard to think that the days of tranquility were over. But Zolde has taken care of him for so long, and he is not a man who does not repay his kindness. And he can also take care of the neighbors he brought out, which is exactly what he wants.

Flordo thanked him gratefully, and then asked with some concern: "It must be a terrible thing for a man as powerful as Marshal Sylvie to be in trouble there, right?"

"That place is terrible," said Zold, "the wizard's hometown is there, and the other wizards have reformed, and the wizards in that place are stubborn, and who makes them nobles of the kingdom at the same time." They're still concocting some big plan to summon the Witch King. Summoned a few times, but didn't see the Witch King, summoned a lot of monsters like werewolves and vampires, and turned thousands of people into monsters. ”

Seeing that Flodo's face turned pale, Zolde smiled again: "These monsters are not troublesome, they are not vulnerable in front of the magic guide gun and magic guide gun. Princely ...... That is, a level 6 vampire can be killed by throwing a bunch of holy sailor grenades, and Prince Rimako even created the miracle of killing a legendary vampire with a squadron. ”

Then his brow furrowed: "The trouble is that the Ismat Church in that place is very active, and their holy daughter ...... It seems to be called Gro...... Not...... This woman is very good at inciting people, and the marshal has suffered a lot because the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level have been deceived into rebellion. ”

Flodo's heart shook, Gronia!?

If it was really that Gronya, when did she become the saint of Ishmat?

Zelder comforted again: "It's okay with Prince Rimako's side, don't worry too much." ”

Flordo cautiously asked about the situation of the Holy Maiden of Ismat, how could Zold, as a grandmaster-level magician who was immersed in making weapons for the empress and was also busy earning gold bushels, care about those things.

"What is there to say about ...... special?"

Zord remembered a little rumor: "The saint had red hair as bright as a flame, which seems to be characteristic of the royal family of Alanis." It has been said that she used to call herself Princess Elanis, but that must have been a fake. ”

Sure enough, it was her......

Flodo suddenly felt that he was obligated to go to Bled.

"Write a letter to Sam," thought Flodo, "he should know about it, and Mayne must have wanted to know about Gronia's situation." ”

With Zold's connection, Flordo's voice message arrived on the Godfall Plateau on the third day.

The chubby halfling man was carrying a small burden at this time, rubbing the doorrail outside the gate of the cactus base, looking reluctant.

"I said, Sam, don't look like you've been exiled!"

Mayne, who had cut his hair short and looked heroic, rolled his eyes beside him: "You are promoted, from the administrator of the cactus base to the administrative committee of the gamma district, you have to manage tens of thousands of people!"

"It's just an alternate executive, and there were tens of thousands of people in the beginning," Sam sighed, "I still love it here, and everyone is full of enthusiasm at all times." And Ash, I promised to see her turn into a dragon. ”

It's been eight days since the Mobile Fortress was moved out of that big pit, and the journey has been much slower than planned. Because the body is too large, the burden on the mechanical leg group is too heavy, and it has to be stopped for maintenance from time to time. In addition, there is a lot of terrain that cannot be crossed, and the road has to be repaired, so far only a third of the way has been walked.

Although much slower, the mobile fortress is like the border line of the Fei Gong, and it is constantly advancing northward. The land behind the fortress naturally became the area under the jurisdiction of the Fei Gong.

Considering the increasing number of new immigrants, Beta City was not suitable for further expansion, and at the same time, the administrative staff was limited, and it was difficult to support too many scattered settlements, so the Fei Gong decided on the plan for the new district early on. When the mobile fortress can be moved, a new city will be built around the original Shengguang Fort and the current big pit, which will serve as the center of the Gamma District.

The new city, which is destined to be called Gamma City, will be populated mainly by the Kist immigrants, Benuin slaves, and the Grey Elf tribe. As a rare talent in administration, Sam, who managed the cactus base in an orderly manner, was transferred to the Gamma District as the administrative committee of the district.

Mayne patted Sam on the shoulder, causing Sam's body to flip to the side like a ball, and she laughed, "I know you're comforting me, but no matter how much you pretend to be, you can't compare to me, I'm going to the Blood Battle Plane, which is both purgatory and abyss!"

Sam smiled as well, and said worriedly, "Is it really okay? It's not a place for mortals to go." ”

"The Legion Armed Research Institute is building special equipment for us, don't worry", Mayne's eyes flashed with determination: "I'm going to save our comrades, Kane hasn't given up yet, how can we give up on him?"

Sam sighed, "I can't help you with anything other than administration." ”

Mayne shook his head and said, "Let the immigrants integrate into us as soon as possible and give full play to their strength, we will have more comrades-in-arms and more advanced weapons, you are not doing a little bit." ”

"Alright," she said, holding the halfling by the collar, "let's go, take my float motorcycle, it's hard for me to race once." ”

Sam yelled, "No, please let me go!"

The two were arguing when Sam's assistant rang, and it turned out to be a voice mail sent from outside.

Sam and Mayne were stunned at the familiar voice, which seemed to be a little unfamiliar, and Flodo......

Hearing what Flodo said again, the two were silent for a long time.

Sam timidly asked, "Mayne......"

Mayne came to her senses and shook her head with a smile: "This Gronia is no longer the Gronia she used to be. I didn't bother to care where she was, what she did, what fate it would be. ”

Her tone became hearty, and she shook her palms and said, "I, ah, am creating my own destiny with my own hands!"

The divine light on the palm of his hand overflowed, and Sam's eyes widened: "Pink!?Mayne, do you believe in the cute god?"

"Eh, ......"

Mayne hurriedly retracted his hand behind his back: "Damn it, why did I forget to change it back, I just ...... Just ......"

She smiled weakly, "I just think that sometimes justice needs to be relaxed." ”

Sam retreated as if he was dodging a monster: "I don't want you to conjure cat ears and cat tails!"

Mayne, who was poked, simply broke the jar and fell: "Oh, what's the matter with trying, it's gone in an hour, your size is just right for an orange cat, and the same change is simply a tyrannical thing!"
