Under Wittel's "watch", Leon finally finished his breakfast honestly.

Looking at the people who were so excited to receive the food, Leon felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

"Zakula, bring a few people with me to familiarize yourself around. ”

As a lord, of course, you must know your territory well.

"Yes, sir!"

Zacula immediately went to some of his brothers to escort Leon.

"Vetel, where has Xuedia gone?"

Leon noticed that he didn't seem to see her since he woke up in the morning.

"After breakfast, Miss Xuedia went to the abandoned little storeroom next to her, and she must still be there. ”

"Oh, thanks. ”

After saying that, Leon went directly to the storeroom.

Sure enough, Xue Tiya was in the storeroom, and seemed to be tinkering with something.

"Miss Xuedia?"

Seeing that Xuedia didn't pay attention to him, Leon tentatively accosted her.

"What's the matter?"

Xue Tiya didn't look back, and continued to tinker with her things.

"What are you doing?"

Leon looked at the strange bottles and cans, and couldn't figure out what they were used for.

"Experiment. ”

"Really?"

When it comes to experimentation and research, Lyon knows nothing. The purpose of coming to Xue Yuanya is nothing more than to let her go out with him to inspect the territory, after all, there are so many magical beasts here, and no one will feel unsteady without a strong person by his side.

"Miss Xueyiya, can you put the experiment or something first, and accompany me to inspect the periphery of the territory?"

Leon is respectful to Xuedia, there is no way, who makes the family better than himself.

"Don't. ”

"Aren't you afraid of any accidents to me, Lord Xuedia?"

Leon began to put on a pitiful look.

"Don't worry, there are at most some weak magical beasts around here, and you should have a chance to activate your magic power. And with Zakula and them with you, although they are not high-level warriors, they should also reach the 3rd level. If you can't do it, I'll be there before you can't help it. ”

As she spoke, she began to mix the strange liquids.

"What if you don't make it?"

"Then you don't have to go too far. Okay, let's get out there. ”

Leon wanted to say something, but was directly kicked out by Xuedia. He really has no way to deal with this "girl" who doesn't know how old she is.

"Your Lord!"

With his five brothers, Zacula finally found Leon. Seeing that Leon was a little discouraged, he hurriedly asked what was going on.

"Ha, it's okay, since everyone is ready, let's go!"

Leon snorted, intending to fool around.

Now that everyone has regarded themselves as absolute beings, they must not be allowed to know that there is still a person in their territory who does not take him seriously at all!

"My lord, where are we going first?"

Zakula rode his horse and followed Leon.

"Hmm~"

Leon thought for a moment, Xuedia was not there, and he couldn't go far.

"Take me to see the river that flows through the territory. ”

"Yes, my lord, it's not far ahead. ”

Lyon's group came to the river.

"Wow, I didn't expect this place to be so wide!"

Looking at the farmland on the territorial side of the river, Leon couldn't help but sigh, no wonder Drake was able to collect so much grain.

"My lord, this river is called the Iscano. It originates in the northernmost part of the Higashikaku Primeval Forest, and flows down the river around the forest to the sea. ”

"Oh, I see. ”

Leon looked in the direction of the river, and there was no end in sight.

"Then across the river is the East Pavilion Primeval Forest?"

Leon looked at the towering trees opposite, and it was really different from ordinary forests.

"Yes, sir. ”

"Where's downstream?"

"Back to my lord, the downstream side of the territory is the Cowell Kingdom, and the right side is the Orc region. ”

When Leon heard this, he instantly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What about upstream?"

"Upstream is the Hugjil steppe, the territory of the northern nomads. ”

Getting this information was like a bolt from the blue for Leon.

Originally, Leon thought that Iscano was surrounded by forests to the east and west, and was surrounded by forests, making it an easy place to defend and difficult to attack. But he didn't think of the existence of the Iscano, which was very flat and fertile on the territorial side, and almost all of it was developed into farmland. Indirectly, it became a natural artery connecting the Hugejil steppe in the north and Cowell in the south. In other words, Iscano's easy defense is only in the direction of the Warwick Kingdom, while the other two directions are almost open, and there is no concealment! Although no one has ever come to attack Iscano, it is because this place is poor and backward. However, it is impossible for a place to remain poor and backward forever.

"My lord, do you need to go somewhere else?"

Seeing that Leon was slow to react, Zakula asked tentatively.

"Oh. Leon came back to his senses, "Then let's go downstream!"

By the time Leon and the others returned to their stronghold, it was nearly evening.

I saw a bonfire burning in the open space in the middle of the manor, and the slaves were happily preparing food.

"What's going on?

Leon asked, turning to Zacula.

Zakula shook her head, today is not a traditional festival in Iscano.

"Lord Leon, you're finally back, and if you don't come back, I'll have to go out with Miss Xuelia to find you!"

Vetlill said angrily when she saw that Leon had finally returned.

"What's going on, Vitrelle?"

"Oh, yes. They say that today is the day when Lord Lyon becomes a lord, and they should celebrate it solemnly!"

"I see. Let's celebrate!"

People sang and danced and celebrated Lyon's becoming lord until late at night.

Looking at their happy appearance, maybe there aren't many days like this.

As the bonfire draws to a close, Leon motions for everyone to be quiet.

"Listen, everybody!" Leon continued, looking at the emaciated crowd, "although life is not easy now. However, I hope you have faith. I promise that everyone will have a better and better life in the future!"

The slaves all stood up and cheered, for they believed in Leon. Slave owners never took the initiative to distribute food to them in the hope that they would be better off. However, Lyon is different, and the slaves here are sincerely hoping that Lyon will become their new master.

The revelers dispersed, and the base fell silent, and everyone began to fall asleep.

But the silence didn't last long before it was broken by the barking of dogs.

The hounds kept by the guards in the stronghold began to bark, the lights in the house came on one after another, and the team members put on simple armor and took weapons to see what was going on.

Leon was also woken up by these noisy sounds, and walked out of the door, just in time to meet Wittel, who was also woken up by the opposite door.

"Vitrill, what's going on?"

"Did you wake you up, Lord Leon? Something seems to have broken into the stronghold. ”

"Now that they're all up, let's go and see how things go. Xuedia opened the door and said.

Her room was next to Leon, and she was naturally awakened by the commotion.

They walked out of the house and saw people holding torches in a circle at the entrance to the stronghold.

It seems that what broke in has been trapped by them.

When the crowd saw Leon coming, they hurried out of the way.

I saw a red-haired girl wearing animal skins, covering only important parts, fighting with the heavily armed Zakura.

A faint light came out of Zakura's body, and there was no doubt that he had used martial arts. But even so, in terms of strength, he was actually suppressed by a girl who was a head shorter than him.

Xuedia prepares to subdue the girl with magic, but is stopped by Leon.

As time passed, Zakura began to lose some physical strength, while the red-haired girl became more and more courageous.

Seeing that Zakula was about to lose. At this time, the guards grabbed two children about seven or eight years old and broke into the crowd.

"Capture them immediately, or they'll die!"

The team yells at the red-haired girl and saves Zakura, who is on the verge of a punch.

"Sister!" cried two children in animal skins and small hats in animal skins, and the red-haired girl.

"Diegoga, Indis!"

When the red-haired girl saw her younger siblings being arrested, she suddenly panicked, and her movements slowly stopped.

Taking advantage of the girl's unpreparedness, everyone rushed up and pressed her down on the snow.

"Don't hurt my sister!"

Although the two children were afraid, when they saw their sister being arrested, they bravely resisted the person who captured their sister.

Half of the red-haired girl's face was pressed into the snow, and her other eye was still glaring at everyone.

Seeing that the girl had been subdued, Leon stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

"Zakura, what's going on?"

"Lord Hui, they are from the Shuster tribe and have just stolen something in the stronghold!"

Zakula gasped for breath, almost knocked over by the girl in front of her.

"Also in my territory?"

"Yes, sir. ”

"Didn't you say there are no indigenous inhabitants here?"

Leon was a little strange, didn't he just tell himself last night that there were no original inhabitants here?

"Well, back to my lord. I just said last night that there are no ordinary Aboriginal residents here, they are not ordinary people......"

Zakura argued with some grievances.

Forget it, don't worry about him so much. Leon walked up to the two small children.

"Let the two of them go first. ”

Leon said to the guards.

"Yes!"

Although the two children were temporarily free, they still couldn't hide the fear in their eyes.

"Why are you here to steal?"

Leon crouched down and questioned them in as gentle a tone as he could.

"Because, because I'm hungry. ”

With tears in their eyes, the two children replied weakly.

"But do you know it's wrong to steal?"

"Yes, but we've got everything here. ”

"Sent here?"

Leon looked back at Zakula.

"My lord, they are residents of the territory, and of course they have to pay taxes. ”

So that's the case, and Leon finally understands why there are all kinds of hides and cores in the granary.

"So you've got everything here, so there's nothing to eat, right?"

"Hmm!"

The two children nodded.

"But that's because you live in my territory, so that's what you have to give me. ”

"I'm sorry, then we'll give you back the stolen things, can you give me back my sister?"

As he spoke, he took out the bread that had been completely deformed in his hand.

"Lord Leon. ”

Wittelle looked at Leon with tears in her eyes. Perhaps it was the scene in front of her that reminded her of herself a long time ago, so she wanted to ask Leon to spare them.

"Absolutely. ”

Leon took the bread and asked loudly to the surroundings, "Who stole this bread?"

A male slave stood up resignedly.

"Your lord, it's a villain. ”

Leon looked at it, what a coincidence, wasn't this the couple during the day.

"Take it. Leon handed the bread to the slave man and continued: "Let everyone disperse!"

The slaves gradually dispersed, leaving only Leon and the others and the guards.

"Let her go. ”

Leon ordered.

"Leon, she's not ......"

Phytia reminded Leon.

"It doesn't matter. ”

Leon certainly knew that she wasn't an ordinary person, as he could tell from the moment she started fighting Zakura, who was using his martial arts.

When the two children saw that their sister was released, they quickly ran over and hugged her. The red-haired girl also hugged her younger siblings tightly.

"I'm sorry, Digga, Indis!"

The girl's apology was not only for them to worry about themselves, but also for leaving them hungry because they had no food.

"It's okay, sister, let's go!"

My sister comforted my sister intimately and helped her sister up.

"Wait!"

Leon stopped the three men who were about to turn away.
