Doug Hall looked at the matriarch sitting in the first place, and felt a little emotion in his heart.

They are all the same age, and the matriarch has gone through hardships along the way, and he can also spy on one or two.

As for him, he didn't want to think too much about how the matriarch made choices when she went through those things, he just wanted to do his own things as well as possible and share some pressure for her as much as possible.

Suddenly, he was a little dazed, and unconsciously remembered Mantha White, who was also an outstanding woman of the same age. In comparison, Mansa White may be a little luckier.......

The matriarch Sylvia took the initiative to break the silence: "The monster suddenly rushed into the village, it was a defense in the southeast direction, and there was a big mistake, and the person in charge of which direction should bear a certain responsibility." ”

An old man with gray hair and wrinkles on his face echoed: "What the patriarch said is that if something like this happens, and someone dies, if you don't punish it appropriately, it will be really difficult to convince the public." ”

Afterwards, another old man said disapprovingly: "Isn't it a little too early to think about punishment now? Isn't the most important thing we should consider is how to put an end to such a thing so that it doesn't happen again? Just punishing one or two people can solve the problem?"

"You can't say that. Why didn't the monsters invade from other directions, but from the southeast, and there was a loophole there?I think the most important thing is to make a reasonable punishment first......." Another person retorted to him.

Seeing that it was about to stir up again, Sylvia hurriedly dissuaded: "All uncles, dissipate your anger, don't quarrel yet." The sudden invasion of monsters, and the failure of the guards in the southeast direction to play the role of warning and blocking, is a serious dereliction of duty and must be punished. However, they also have the difficulty of understaffing, and they cannot be severely punished if they consider the facts. I recommend...... The squadron leader will be sentenced to 20 sticks, and the monthly money will be reduced by three months, and the monthly money of all squad leaders will be reduced by two months......."

Before she could finish speaking, someone forcibly interrupted and objected: "This is not good! The squadron leader is responsible for a large range of jurisdiction, and once something happens, he will bear a heavy punishment, wouldn't that be cheaper for those guards who should be more responsible? I suggest that the squadron leader's stick punishment be waived, and the monthly money should only be reduced by one month, and all the guards should not be held responsible for the location where the monsters invade, and the relevant location should be severely punished, and the squad leader should be punished with a stick of twenty sticks, and the monthly money will be reduced by three months, and the rest of the members will be punished with a stick of ten. ”

"I don't agree, if you follow you, how will you manage the guards in the future? Regardless of your own business, you will hide? I agree with the patriarch's proposal to punish the squadron leader and squad leader, it is they who did not play their due role, so that the monsters invaded ......."

Doug listened to it in his ears and saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh softly.

The heart said: Alas, it has come to this point, and I still want to quarrel over a little petty profit, so I can't look farther? Now, the head of the Hall family, the talent is withering, and it is really difficult to support the patriarch alone!

The crowd quarreled endlessly, and the matriarch Sylvia, who had a black line, was forced to move on to the next topic.

"Let's put this matter aside for a while, and .......discuss it later," and after everyone calmed down, she continued: "Recently, from the direction of the Twilight Forest, news came that the new lord passed through the Twilight Forest and entered the territory of Shining Gold Town.

In addition, I heard that he was a direct descendant of the Liuyun family, one of the twelve electors of the city of Corrante, and his mother was Cardinal Philsera Light. With him as the lord of Shining Gold Town, he will inevitably receive strong support from the Liuyun Family, the Bright Holy See, and the Imperial Family. In the future, there will inevitably be great changes in Shining Gold Town, and we, the Hall family, also need to prepare early.

In addition, I heard some additional news that just two days ago, the stars fell for no reason, and the gods punished the heavens, directly eliminating a group of goblins, and turning it into a wasteland. If you speculate on the time, it is likely that this matter is related to the new lord....... If this is really his doing, we must be more careful with this new lord......"

"I've heard about this too, and if it's really the new lord's doing, it means that he's carrying a powerful artifact of light. Not to mention where he got the Light Artifact, but there is a common sense that the Light Artifact cannot be used on the Terran ....... Even if he carries an artifact of light, he can't use it on us, so what's so terrible about us?" said one of them.

Subsequently, another person chimed in: "If this light artifact can only destroy some monsters, it is not a big threat to us, but it is beneficial to us! Nowadays, there are more and more monsters in the Death Mountain Range, wouldn't it be better if he could obediently bring the light artifact here and use it to eliminate monsters?"

"You sober up, he's a lord, not your son, why should he listen to you?" someone laughed at his whimsy.

"He's certainly not my son, but....... I think I can make him your son! Your daughter has just turned fifteen years old, isn't she known as the number one beauty in Falling Hammer Village? If you sacrifice her to the new lord, maybe the lord will have to call your father.......

"Why should I sacrifice my daughter, your daughter is not bad, she is still a second-order mage! Maybe the new lord prefers mages......."

"Slap ......." Sylvia suddenly stood up with a blue face, angrily dropped the teacup in his hand, and said coldly: "You guys go back first, I want to think about it......"

Everyone in the room was startled, and after reacting, their faces were a little unhappy, and they left in a huff......

Doug, who was standing by the door, did not leave. After everyone had gone out one after another, he slowly came to Sylvia.

"Lord Baron, I'm back.......," Doug bowed respectfully.

"Alas......." she sighed, and after calming down, she asked softly, "Along the way, there were no accidents!"

She pointed to a nearby chair again: "Sit down and talk slowly......."

After Doug sat down cautiously, he told the transaction in detail, and when he talked about the encounter of returning, he deliberately lowered his voice: "My lord, when I came back, I happened to hear that a group of robbers with all equipped mounts appeared, and I was curious, so I took people to check, and found that they were the guards of the new lord......."

"What? you...... You didn't have a head-on confrontation with them, did you!" Sylvia, who was a little impatient, suddenly came to her senses and couldn't wait to ask.

"No!" Doug replied first, and then saw the matriarch's gaze soften, before continuing to explain: "When the conflict was about to occur, Mansa White appeared to stop it and avoided it....... My lord, do you remember Mantha White?"

"Hehe, why don't you remember......" Sylvia smiled a little bitterly: "She is the proud son of the Heavenly Son of Shining Gold Town, she entered the Imperial Royal Academy to study, and graduated with excellent performance, although she failed to enter the Royal Knights, but she is enough to be proud." I've heard that she didn't serve as the garrison officer of Huya Pass, and how did she get together with the new lord?"

"I don't know exactly what happened....... However, when I saw Mansa White, I saw that she was very different from her previous performances......"

"What's the difference?" said Sylvia, curious.

After all, they are all peers, and Mansha is recognized as the best peer, and there are enough things about her to arouse her curiosity.

"Compared to when I saw her before, there was no confusion in her eyes, but instead a radiance of determination and confidence....... "Doug is a little indescribable, and can only say how he really feels.

"Looks like ...... Is she loyal to the new lord?" Sylvia thought for a moment and asked.

"Yes......." Speaking of this, he immediately straightened up and lowered his voice again: "I have met with the new lord, and he wants me to convey some words to you......."

"Ah, what...... Has he noticed us?" Sylvia was a little surprised, and urged, "Tell me, what exactly does he want you to tell me?"
