Abagon is not only brilliant in finance, but also very good at internal affairs.

Watching the financial steward negotiate with the soldiers with the Abomination Warriors, pacify the captives, and take care of the aftermath, Downton knew that he had picked up the treasure, but he was only happy for a while, and then fell into trouble.

"Xia Luo, the grocery store has been burned, what are you going to do?" Downton was going to the royal capital, and it would take about two or three months to come back this time, and he felt uncomfortable at the thought of not seeing the virtuous wolf for so long.

"I don't know!" Xia Luo looked at the moonlight, not as sad as the ordinary townsfolk who lost their homes, for she the grocery store was just a temporary shelter for the open.

"Why don't you ......" Downton grabbed his hair, his face was cramped, and he wanted to invite Xia Luo to the royal capital, but he was embarrassed to speak.

"This stupid person, how can he catch up with the girl if he is not cheeky?" Homer sighed, he didn't expect Downton to be so shy.

"What do you want to say?" Xia Luo smiled, "It's not like a man!"

"Why don't you go to the royal capital with me, well, it's a tour, and when you come back, I'll help you rebuild the largest grocery store in Morningfog Town." Downton spoke very quickly, and when he finished speaking, he looked away, and his whole heart was beating rapidly, and it was about to jump out of his chest.

"Okay!" Xia Luo glanced at the small shop and shook her head imperceptibly, she would not come back, and promised Downton only because he was half a friend and trusted him.

Downton clenched his fists, a smile on his lips, and he didn't see Celesse's gloomy look at all.

"Let's accompany you on another journey!" Xia Luo muttered, she knew that Downton liked her, but it was absolutely impossible between the two of them, so she decided to pretend to turn a blind eye.

"Master, the loot has been counted. Sixty-six bear goblins were slightly injured, eighty-seven ogres, plus various orc captives, a total of one hundred and ninety-five, and more than three hundred were seriously injured, and the cost of treatment was too great. And even if they are cured, they are crippled and of little significance, so it is recommended that they all be beheaded and turned into military merits!" Abagon handed over two lists full of data.

"Well done!" Downton swiped quickly, lecturing to Jackson, "Look at Abagon's handwriting, it's better than yours, and you'll have to learn more in the future." ”

"The total amount of property seized is less than two hundred gold coins, there is no way. These bandits are poor ghosts, and when they have money, they will spend it. Abagun stood respectfully beside him, very gentlemanly.

"What do you say about the wounded captives?" Downton had a headache, he wouldn't kill the captives, but it would be too costly to treat them.

"Since you don't want to kill them, it's better to sell favors to those officers. Jackson advised, "Anyway, if you want to be mayor in the future, you have to deal with them." ”

"Gave it to them. Those captives are absolutely dead. Celestia muttered that she was a kind girl after all. Consider the killing of prisoners immoral.

The corners of Jackson's mouth twitched, you are the death banshee of the dark camp, considered an evil existence by humans, and you don't even dare to kill a prisoner.

"There's no need, the master will take control of Morning Mist Town in the future, and with his shili, he will inevitably concentrate power. There is no point in co-opting those officers who are scumbags of war. Abagon vetoed.

Downton had thought of a solution to sell the captives to the officers, but because of Charlotte's presence, he couldn't say that.

Although the slave trade was a legal trade in the Western Continent, Downton wanted to leave a good image of the girl without stain.

"The hosts. Prisoners of war can be sold to officers, and they will certainly not skimp on gold coins for the sake of military merit. "Abagun had a great business acumen and quickly figured it out.

Downton was silent.

Abagun saw Downton peeking at Xia Luo, suddenly realized, and then quietly retreated, this prisoner of war trade really has to be carried out in private, and in the future, these dirty jobs can be done in secret, and they must not be smeared with stains on their masters.

"Teachable!" Downton was relieved that Abagun was so useful compared to that waste Jackson.

This was destined to be a lucrative deal, and those officers who had escaped had to buy it if they wanted to keep their posts, and there were few wolves, so Abagon simply held a small auction, and the highest bidder would get it.

The three hundred dying captives Zuihou actually exchanged for nearly 100,000 gold coins, which made Downton want to sell the rest, but he Zuihou still decided to take them to the royal capital, where there are more rich people, maybe they can be sold for a higher price.

Because Downton had blocked the bandits' charge, half of Dawnmist had not been burned down, and his home was right in it, so he invited Celes to stay and leave tomorrow.

Jackson not only led the servants to guard the gate, but also planted the battle flag on the roof.

The townspeople passing by saw these heavily armed warriors, pointed and pointed, and understood that Downton had become the most popular young man on the frontier after this battle.

The morning sun rises and the golden sun shines through.

Downton and his party had eaten a hearty breakfast, and when they walked out of the room, Abagun was already waiting in the street with the three carriages they had found overnight.

"Master, everything is ready. Abagorn was a little quicker, and he was respectful at the right time, but not rude.

"It's a nice outfit!"

Downton was very satisfied with Abagon's service, it was simply too thoughtful.

"Thank you host for the compliment. "Abagorn made a black butler's uniform and wore white gloves, and although he looked professional, he was always a little unruly on a goblin.

"Little princess, please come up here!" Abagun moved one stool to the carriage door, and let Hu Tao and Celes board the carriage, and the other was naturally reserved for Downton and Charlotte.

"No, I'm going to be with my big brother. Hu Tao refused, and circled around Abagon, intending to kick its ass, but looking at its clean clothes, she gave up.

"You sit in that one. Charlotte gestured to the carriage in front of her, and then pulled Celes and Hu Tao into the carriage behind.

"Master, just get her drunk and get hard!" Jackson leaned over to Downton's side and whispered flattery, he saw that his master was interested in Charlotte, "If you're embarrassed, I'll help you blindfold her and break her legs." ”

"Get out!" Downton glared at Jackson. "Let's go, by the way, don't ride the Sherman Bear. ”

"Weishenme?" Jackson, who wanted to show off, looked bitter and reluctantly stuffed the badge back into his pocket.

"Don't you think I'm in trouble enough?" Downton pulled down the curtains, ignoring them.

The convoy departed, with Jackson and Abagon following on two brown horses. Quasimodo is too big, except for the war bear, he can't drag it, so he can only return to the war space.

The king of Frankfurt is Battford, and at an ordinary driving speed, it takes seven days to reach from Morning Mist.

In order to speed up their journey, the captives were also taken into the space by Homer, but it took a lot of magic stones to maintain their lives, which made Downton very distressed.

Watch the harvested wheat fields recede in view. Downton leaned into the carriage and enjoyed this quiet time, henceforth, he was no longer the civilian who had to work tirelessly for three meals a day, and would even become the mayor of the town, managing more than 10,000 people.

"I want to go on like this!" Downton took a deep breath, and the fields were filled with the scent of earth.

"Huh, that's enough?" Homer hated that iron was not made of steel. "You still have the help of the Ancient Great Magic Book, not to mention being a king. It's okay to be the Grand Duke of the previous principality. ”

"What are you kidding?" the Grand Duke had a higher status than the Duke of Real Power, except that he did not have the title of king, but he was the highest power in the Duchy, and Downton did not feel that he had a chance.

In the north, the most famous Grand Duke is José Mourinho, although the territory is smaller than that of the third-rate countries. However, because of its proximity to the seaport, the trade is prosperous and the economy is developed, so it is an out-and-out piece of fat.

Several nearby third-rate countries coveted it and brazenly launched a war of invasion ten years ago. As a result, the legion sent was crippled by Mourinho's Boer Knights, and even the second-rate empire Xueman suffered a big loss at his hands, so far, no country dares to trouble him anymore.

"Jose, Hannah's last name seems to be the same!" Downton suddenly thought of the girl who was full of royal sisters, they wouldn't have anything to do with each other, would they?

"Look at your guts, not to mention the Grand Duke, the princess also has to marry a few people, and it must be from the Nine Great Empires. Homer cheered Downton up, "Tell you, the most disadvantaged of the previous owners of the Grimoire and the king of a second-rate country, married three princesses, you don't want to break his record, do you?"

"I'm not even the mayor now!" Downton rolled his eyes.

"Don't worry, with your strength, I believe that you will definitely be able to stand out if you go to the royal capital, maybe you don't even have to be the mayor of the town, and you will be promoted to a higher position directly." ”

"I don't want to deal with those politicians, it's better to have a border, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, whatever I want. Downton is also ambitious, "I don't have a backstage, it's impossible to get up in officialdom, it's better to start from the border, but the top priority is to get a territory quickly." ”

"It's time to plan your life. Homer projected a map of the north, "Even the barren lands are occupied by the nobility, and if you encroach on them, you will challenge the laws and majesty of the kingdom, so your only way out is to the west." ”

"To the west, do you want to go to the hills to eat wild herbs, or be indigenous?" said Downton casually.

"It was only when I saw you capture those captives that I thought that you could conscript those indigenous tribes and put them to work for you, until you have accumulated enough strength to attack the western border. ”

"Haha, you are still the Great Demon Book, and you actually said such uninformed words, do you think those kings who rely on the hilly border have not tried? Decades of experience in conquest have told them that the hilly terrain will inevitably cause supply difficulties, and by the time the soldiers have worked hard to find the indigenous tribes, the harsh environment of high temperature and humidity has caused a large number of non-combat attrition. ”

Elaine brought back a lot of books and told Downton, so he wasn't a country boy who didn't know anything, "By the way, the indigenous tribes can still run if they can't win, and the soldiers are not as familiar with the terrain as they are, which also makes it difficult to pursue." ”

"Stupid, are your men human? they are an undead legion, they don't get dehydrated from heat, they don't get malaria from mosquito bites, you have room for war, you can carry a lot of supplies, even population. Homer taught Downton a lesson.

"yes, once I've defeated a few tribes, I can use a stick and a carrot to get those natives to fight for me. Downton straightened up suddenly.

"Ignorance!" continued Homer's lesson, "because of the lack of transportation, even if the indigenous tribes had precious herbs and minerals, they could not be sold, and the poor were no different from mountain monkeys. ”

"Yes, we can also use bread to hire them to fight for us, they are native, and they must be more familiar with other indigenous tribes than we do. "Downton knows that it's certainly not that simple if you do it, but it's a viable way.

"Yes, Dragon Hills is where you made your fortune. Homer was relieved to see that Downton immediately began to draw inferences, and that assisting a clever master was indeed much easier than those fools.

"So you have to be the mayor of the town!" Downton waved his fist, "so that we can send troops in the name of the open!"

"It's a pity, Celes should be the princess of the Snow Man Empire, if you can be recognized by the king, you will have a strong backstage, and the king of Frankfurt will have to pay a smile when he sees you. Homer teased, it knew it was impossible, not to mention that Celes had been gone for more than three thousand years, and that she was already a human being, and that her identity as a death banshee alone meant that she would not be recognized.

"Celes has a brother, what do you think will happen if he returns?" With a goal for the future, Downton was in a good mood and was about to enter the library when the carriage suddenly stopped.

"Get out of the way!" Abagon's voice came, "Jackson, push this carriage away." ”

Downton stuck his head out the window and saw a broken carriage in the middle of the road, Melissa standing nearby, yelling at Abagon.

"Is that you?" Melissa turned happy when she saw Downton, and ran over quickly with her skirt.

The first beauty in Morning Mist Town is wearing a low-cut dress, and half of her white breasts ~ flesh are exposed, because the movements are violent, and her breasts are shaking up and down, which is very tempting.

"What's wrong?" Downton got out of the carriage, after all, people used to talk to him, and it was rude to talk to others through the carriage.

"I have something to go to the royal capital, but the carriage is broken. Melissa looked annoyed, "Where are you going?"

"Hmm!" Downton wouldn't lie, "do you want me to help you?"

"Miss, the carriage is too badly broken to be repaired, why don't you hire a new one?"

"It's too late, and you think there's still a carriage in Morningfog?" Melissa grumbled, then thought of something, and looked at Downton happily, "By the way, there's a carriage here, I'll pay for it, give me a ride, right?" (To be continued......)
