At noon, Huddles, the original mayor of Honglin Town, came.

Hoodles was in his fifties, lean, with a goatee, and looked very shrewd. However, in front of Mark Syvin, Hoodles had a low posture.

In the entire Redwoods, no one knows Mark Siden's identity better than him. Of course, he didn't know the specific identity of Mark Seevin, let alone that Mark Seevin was exiled, only that he was a descendant of the Ivan family.

However, even knowing this, Huddles did not dare to be disrespectful in the slightest. To him, even the lowest-ranking servants of the Siwen family were big shots.

"Hoodles, I'm sorry for occupying your house yesterday." Mark Sivin leaned back in his chair and spoke.

Hoodles' body was bent at ninety degrees, with a smile on his old face and ravines.

"It is my greatest privilege that Your Excellency the Baron can rest in my home. If I could, I would like to be able to dedicate these rooms as a gift to His Excellency the Baron. Redwoods is so barren that I can't find a more suitable gift......"

"You gave me the house, where is your family going?"

Hooddles said, "I'm going to build another ...... next to it."

"Forget it, you don't have to build it anymore, you can use your own." Mark Sivin waved his hand, "I'm not used to living in other people's houses. ”

Hooders was a little panicked, and he thought he had offended the lord.

"Hooders, you go find someone at once and build me a baronial palace in that position." Ignoring Hoodles' ramblings, Mark Sivin walked out the door and pointed to the west.

"Build a baron's house?" Huddles immediately understood that it was the lord who did not look down on his house. However, when Hooddles saw clearly where Mark Sivin was pointing, he panicked again.

"Your Lord, are you going to build a baron's palace there? It's not right there! Hoodles said.

"Shut up, you dare to question the orders of His Excellency the Baron!" Evan stepped up again.

Huddles hurriedly explained, "Lord Evan, I'm not questioning the lord's orders, it's too dangerous there. ”

It turned out that Honglin Town was surrounded by mountains on both sides, and the east-west exit became the only passage to and fro. The nearby mountains are covered with red pine forests, which are often infested with wild animals, the most common being the red-tailed wolf. On weekdays, the residents of Honglin Town have to go to the north and south mountains every day to hunt and kill the red-tailed wolves, but no one has cleared the red-tailed wolves outside the mountains. Every once in a while, a red-tailed wolf enters the town from the east-west intersection.

The location that Mark Sivin was referring to was the only way for the Red-tailed Wolf to enter the town.

"Master, this is indeed dangerous...... "Evan listened, and immediately turned to persuade Mark Seven.

However, Mark Sivin has made up his mind.

"It's built right there! Evan, you and Khadels will bring someone over at once, and in three days' time, I will see a brand new Baron's Palace!" In addition, it was decreed that all those who participated in the construction of the Baron's Palace would be exempted from half of their taxes this year! ”

Mark Sivin ordered that Evan and Hoodles had no choice but to gather men. Although there are not many people in Honglin Town, there are fifty or sixty middle-aged laborers, half of whom are hunters. The individual strength of these people does not reach the level of first-level warriors, but when they are gathered together, their strength is also quite considerable.

"The physical fitness of ordinary people in this world is much better than in the previous life, and even if an adult has not cultivated, he has the strength of several hundred catties. In addition, the red pine forest in this vicinity is too common, and it should not be a problem to build the Baron's Mansion in three days. ”

Mark Sivin did not choose to establish the Baronial Palace at the west exit. First, the west exit is usually rarely frequented and relatively quiet, and second, the west exit is relatively open, and there is no shelter around, which is convenient for him to absorb moonlight and starlight during meditation and cultivation.

As for the threat of red-tailed wolves, when Mark Sivin becomes a magician, those red-tailed wolves have nothing to worry about.

Soon, an announcement was posted in the center of the town that Mark Sywin was going to build a baronial palace, and the news immediately spread throughout the town.

"Uncle Lucas!" Morey ran from the center of the town to the blacksmith's shop, where Lucas was striking iron.

"Morey, what's going on?"

"Uncle Lucas, stop what you're doing and come with me to the center of town. Just now, the new lord posted a notice to build a baronial palace to the west......"

"To the west? It's not safe there. Lucas said as he struck the iron.

"That has nothing to do with us, the important thing is that those who participated in the construction of the Baron's Mansion will be exempted from half of their taxes this year!" Morey said excitedly.

"Ding!" Lucas's hammer fell in the wrong place.

"Half of the tax exemption? Morey, you're not lying, are you? Lucas will be skeptical.

No wonder Lucas thinks so, in a town like Honglin Town, the income of a middle-aged laborer is only ten silver coins a year, except for half to support the family's life, and the rest is used to pay taxes. Therefore, it is difficult for these people to save money, no matter how hard they work.

However, in the face of such heavy taxes, no one dared to resist. In the Roman Empire, resisting taxes is a big crime, and if the residents of Redwood dare not pay, the next day, the cavalry of the empire will sweep this place away!

"The announcement has been posted, Uncle Lucas, you hurry up, if it's too late, you won't be able to catch up!" Morey urged.

When Lucas heard this, he immediately put down the hammer and ran out, without even turning off the fire......

Honglin Town was boiling over a notice from Mark Syvin, and every family called for friends and rushed to the center of the town. In the end, Ewen and Hoodles picked out forty able-bodied men, including Lucas.

Leveling the land, felling, processing, building...... The hitherto quiet west side of the town suddenly came alive, and under the urging of Hoods and the supervision of Evin, a grand manor took shape at a visible pace. Three days later, the Baron's Palace was completed on time.

"It's really magnificent, it's worthy of the lord's mansion......" Morey quietly came over to look at it after the completion of the Baron's Palace, it was the first time he had seen such a beautiful manor.

The Baron's Mansion covers an area of more than 5,000 square meters, not big, but not small, with more than 30 rooms, which are basically empty now. According to Mark Syvin's instructions, there is more space in the backyard. On the day of completion, Mark Sivin moved in with two little maids.

"Master, are we going to recruit some guards?" Inside the hall, Evan suggested to Mark Syvin. This guy is timid and afraid of death, and since he heard about the red-tailed wolf, he always seems uneasy.

"Recruit ten, and besides, bring in Morey." Mark Swin looked at the empty manor and agreed to Evan's suggestion.

"Morey? Master, you say that little ghost? How can he be a good guard at his age? "Evan hates Morey and naturally doesn't want to see him join the Barons' Court.

"Do as I say, Morey is here, and you must not embarrass him. Otherwise I'll find out, watch out for your doglegs! Mark Sivan gave Evan a shot.

Mark Severn wanted to recruit Morey into the mansion, mainly to observe his talent. In the previous meeting, Mark Sivin sensed Morey's extraordinary mental strength and strength, and if he was really talented, Mark Sivin didn't mind spending effort to cultivate him. That is, of course, if he remains loyal to Mark Seven.

The trivial matters of the Baron's Mansion were handed over to Evan, who had followed him for more than ten years, and had trained in the Sivin family, so it was more than enough to manage a Baron's Palace. As for Redwoods, it is still managed by Beards. It's not because Mark Swin trusts him, it's because Redwood is too barren for anything to get into Mark Seven's eyes.

For the residents of Redwood, the arrival of the lord changed their lives dramatically. First of all, 40 people were exempted from half of their taxes this year, and half of the families in Honglin Town benefited from it. After that, the ten most powerful hunters were recruited as guards by the Baron's Court, and they had an income and status that others would envy.

While everyone was waiting for the lord's follow-up actions, the Baron's Mansion fell silent, and as for the legendary lord with a big background, he turned into an otaku and never appeared again for three months.

Gradually, the weather turned colder, everyone was preparing for the winter, and the lord was forgotten by everyone.

In the backyard of the Baron's Palace, a stone tower made of bluestone suddenly appeared in the wooden building, which covers an area of about 200 square meters and is six meters high, which is somewhat incompatible with the entire Baron's Palace.

Mark Sivin is in the Stone Tower.

"It's been three months, and my mental growth is getting slower and slower. Up to now, my spiritual strength is no more than eight times that of ordinary people, and I am still a little short of the threshold of a first-level magician......"

A first-level magician requires ten times the mental power of ordinary people.

Mark Sivin walked slowly out of the stone tower, his face unwavering. Compared to three months ago, his face was much more rosy. The body, which was originally a little thin, is now full. Although from the outside, Mark Sivin is not strong, but his strength is no longer inferior to that of ordinary adults.

"Magicians are generally physically weak, but that is also relative to warriors of the same level. Compared to ordinary people, the body of a magician can be called powerful. Before, I couldn't cultivate the Fa, and I invisibly overdrew my body, but now with this star gate, the deficit in my body is slowly making up, and I am no longer as weak as before. ”

Mark Sivin beckoned, and two little maids walked into the stone tower and carried out a large abandoned box. The big discarded box was rubbish from Mark Syvin's magic experiments, and it was useless anymore.

"Although my original body is not very good in cultivation, his learning attitude is still good, and he has left me some high-quality inheritance. This magic potion may be very useful to me. ”
