Chapter 241: John's Fate
Hu Ye knew that he should pretend to be confused at some times, so he said with a blank face at this time: "This Baron Chaglin didn't say it, I just think that black-robed magician is eerie and terrifying." ”
Count Rose muttered, "If you think about it, was there anything else strange at that time? ”
Hu Ye deliberately pretended to be thinking hard, and after a while, he suddenly said: "Lord Baron's face is not very good, and it is frighteningly pale!" By the way, I still see a lot of white bones nearby, and I feel ...... It's like human bones. ”
Hearing Hu Ye's words, Count Rose no longer had any doubts, frowned and said viciously: "Sure enough, it's a necromancer, hmph, Dalaran's magician union is too presumptuous, and he dares to send a necromancer to come to the Storm Kingdom secretly, it's really damned!" ”
As long as you are a sane lord, you don't want necromancer activity in your territory, and Count Rose is certainly no exception. What worries him even more is that his nephew is actually mixed up with a necromancer, which is definitely not a good thing.
Just looking at Count Rose's worried expression, Hu Ye knew that he believed his statement. This is a good thing for both Huye and Baishi Village, at least they can buy some more time for development.
Of course, it would be even more beneficial for Hu Ye to have a conflict between Count Rose and the Dalaran Mage Guild first.
How long has Count Rose been dead, and he can't think of a reason for his nephew and necromancer to mix together, and when he looked up, he saw that Hu Ye was still in front of him, and waved his hand impatiently: "You can go, protect Baishi Village well." ”
"Lord Count, I actually came to you for another matter." Hu Ye didn't leave immediately, but said with a sad face: "Baron Chaglin ordered me to be responsible for building a road from Baishi Village to Shanjin Town. Paved with the latest materials, the roads were smoother and easier to walk than stone roads, which were beneficial for merchants and troops. ”
This is good news, which makes Count Rose feel a little better, and he nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, you do a good job, and when the road is paved to Shining Gold Town, I will reward you." ”
"Thank you, Lord Earl." Hu Ye cooperated with the ground to show gratitude, but soon frowned and said, "But...... Recently, work on paving the road had to be stopped. ”
Count Rose frowned and said, "Why is that?" ”
"Because Lord John, the sheriff of Shining Gold, won't let us continue paving the way." Hu Ye said with a sad face: "Lord John told us that you require twenty gold coins to be handed over for every mile of paved road, and after the road is completed, a tax station will be set up, and every passerby will be charged a toll. Our village had already paid a huge price for paving the road, and we couldn't afford it, so we had to stop working. ”
Earl Rose understood what was going on as soon as he heard it, and his eyebrows furrowed: "This John is really getting more and more disagreeable, and he even dares to meddle in such a thing as paving roads that is beneficial to the territory, Knight Federer, you go and call John to me now!" ”
"Yes, Lord Count!" The knight, who had been behind Count Rose, immediately agreed, and strode out of the castle to find John.
Count Rose was very interested in Hu Ye's plan to pave the way, and soon asked him, "Is this new material really as good as you say?" ”
"When the road is paved to Shining Gold Town, you can go and see for yourself." Hu Ye smiled and said, "Baron Chaglin said, if you agree, we can also pave the road from Shining Gold Town all the way to Stormwind City." There's a better road connecting Stormwind to Flashgold than the Kingdom Road, and it's definitely good for your territory. ”
Of course, Count Rose would not object to such a good thing, and nodded again and again: "This is indeed a good idea, of course I agree. If you need anything, you can tell me, and I will try to make it as convenient as possible. ”
Hu Ye said with a smile on his face: "Then I will thank you on behalf of Baron Chaglin." ”
Seeing that Hu Ye spoke clearly and was not arrogant or humble when facing him, Count Rose felt that he was also a talent, so he smiled faintly: "You are only a bit condescending to be the sheriff of a village, are you interested in helping me?" ”
"Thank you for your kindness." Hu Ye smiled: "But Baron Chaglin promised that as long as I finish the paving work, he will appoint me as the lord of Baishi Village, so ......"
Anyway, Cha Green has already hung up, Hu Ye can say whatever he wants, and he doesn't have to worry about being debunked at all.
Although Hu Ye didn't continue, Count Rose had already understood what he meant, and nodded with a smile: "Well, although the scale of Baishi Village is not large, it is not bad to be the lord there, I won't fight with Cha Green, haha!" ”
In World of Warcraft, it is common for the big lord to divide the small lords. For example, Chaglin was divided by the Earl of Ross, and the former also had to owe allegiance to the latter.
Therefore, for Count Rose, Hu Ye's becoming the lord of Baishi Village had no effect on him, and naturally he would not object.
The sheriff John soon arrived in a hurry, and when he saw that Hu Ye was actually having a good conversation with Count Rose, sweat immediately broke out on his forehead, and he nodded and smiled: "Lord Earl, are you looking for me?" ”
"John, you've been getting bolder lately!" Count Rose shouted in a deep voice: "Don't you even think I'm old and easy to fool if I dare to stretch out my hand for such a big thing as paving the road?" ”
Taken aback by Count Rose's stern tone, John hurriedly said with a sad face: "Lord Earl, how dare I meddle in such a big matter as paving the road!" ”
Count Rose said lightly: "So...... Or have I wronged you? ”
Of course, John didn't dare to say this, and shook his head again and again: "No, I didn't mean that, I'm just worried that some people with bad intentions deliberately deceive you." ”
Count Rose sighed, "You are right, there are always some unscrupulous people who fill their own wallets at the expense of the interests of the territory. It's funny that these people still think I'm old and confused, and I can't see through their little tricks! ”
John nodded again and again: "Your Excellency, you are right, this guy named Hu Ye is such a person!" Don't believe his nonsense, I have served you for more than 20 years, and I have been diligent......"
"I can't even remember, but you've been serving me for so long." Earl Rose coldly interrupted John: "More than twenty years, it is indeed long enough. Well, from today you don't have to be the sheriff of Shining Gold, I'll find someone else to take your place!" ”
John was taken aback and was dumbfounded: "Lord Earl, you can't do this, I have always been loyal......"
"Enough!" Earl Rose exclaimed, "Are you loyal? Don't think I don't know, how much benefit you've secretly reaped over the years! Knight Federer, take this traitor out, hang him in the town's square, let everyone know, the fate of betraying me! ”
