Chapter 16 The New Treasurer

"You're quite right. ”

Erin's answer pleased Vos, who smiled and nodded, but then said, "But don't worry, the city lord won't do anything to us." ”

"I know. ”

Shrugging her shoulders indifferently, Erin glanced at Vos: "Grandpa has a lot of influence over the import of yarn, so as long as this city lord is not a fool, he will not touch us." ”

"No, not for this reason. ”

This time, Voss shook his head, obviously his granddaughter didn't grasp the point in this matter.

Erin was surprised, and she glanced at Voss in confusion, not understanding what was wrong with her thoughts.

But soon Voss explained to her:

"Merchants are profit-seeking, so even without us, as long as the city lord can get the money, he can still find new people to import yarn, so this is not our real talisman. ”

"And what is our amulet?"

"Then it's up to us what we can give the city lord. After a pause, Voss gave an answer: "Thunderhawk City is too small, so small that only we can help him, and that's why he won't touch us." ”

"Ha, I don't think so. ”

For Vos's statement, Erin pouted: "Grandpa, our city lord may not have any lofty ideals, so he may not be able to use us." ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

This is Voss smiled slightly, and then looked at his granddaughter: "Erin, whether the city lord has lofty ideals does not need us to consider, I just want you to understand that only by figuring out our own value can we survive." ”

With that, Voss handed Erin a letter.

"This letter, you can help me deliver it to the city lord tomorrow. ”

Taking the envelope and looking at it, Erin immediately showed a surprised expression and immediately looked at Vos:

"Grandpa, you, why are you ......?"

............

The next morning, Rocky got up early, last night was the most solid night he had slept in since he crossed, he slept until dawn without even dreaming, and when he got up, he felt refreshed, and all kinds of fatigue disappeared.

However, he didn't sit idle when he got up early, as the lord of the castle he had a lot to deal with, such as a new captain of the guard and a new administrator waiting to be appointed.

As for this matter, Rocky had a plan yesterday, and he was going to let Lilia be the captain of the guards first.

The Guards are the only armed force in Thunderhawk City, so they must not be left unmanaged, and can only be handled by Lilia in the case of a serious shortage of personnel, and this matter is not difficult for Lilia who has enough prestige and strength.

As for the new administrator, Rocky decided to replace it by himself first, anyway, Thunder Eagle City is very small, and the administrator is basically a fictitious position, and he is still competent.

This arrangement is naturally a last resort, because Rocky has no one else available except Lilia, so he can only choose this expedient measure, and wait until later to think about slowly cultivating his own team.

It's just that when he had just finished breakfast and was about to tell Lilia about his decision, Lilia informed him that Erin was here.

"Erin, who is it?"

Rocky is very unfamiliar with the name Erin and has no idea who it is.

"She's Vos's granddaughter. ”

"Voss's ...... Granddaughter?"

This answer surprised Rocky, could it be that Voss was looking for him, but even if Voss had something to do, he should have come to see him himself, and what was the matter with sending his granddaughter?

"Let's go, let's see. ”

Rocky was always a little confused about the cunning Vos, so he simply didn't think much about it and took Lilia directly to the city lord's hall.

Soon, he saw Erin, who was already waiting in the city lord's hall.

"Lord of the city, this is a letter from your grandfather. ”

After a brief self-introduction, Erin didn't talk nonsense, and directly handed the letter that her grandfather asked her to bring last night to Rocky.

Taking the envelope from Erin's hand, Rocky looked at her, and then at the envelope in his hand, and his head was full of question marks.

But when he opened the envelope in his hand and saw the contents of the letter, he frowned directly!

After reading the letter for a long time, Rocky turned his gaze back to Erin and asked, "Is Lord Voth sick?"

"Yes, Grandpa felt unwell yesterday and was in bed. ”

"So he asked you to take over the position of treasurer?"

"No, grandpa just suggested, everything has to be arranged by the city lord. ”

Erin not only looks a little similar to Voss, but even her tone and demeanor are similar to Voss, and she is also neither humble nor arrogant in the face of Rocky, and her speech is also leaky.

But her words made Rocky fall into deep thought.

The letter that Voss handed him was actually a letter asking for leave, which probably meant that he was not in good health, so he had to recuperate for a while, of course, these were, he was fine yesterday, and he was sick one night and couldn't go to work?

The really important content of this letter is actually only one, and that is that Voss recommended his granddaughter to act as the treasurer.

What was the old fox thinking?

Glancing at the girlish Irene, Rocky couldn't understand Vos's thoughts at all, why did he suddenly push his granddaughter in front of him?

At the same time, he felt helpless, because Voss clearly intended Erin to take his place, and all Rocky could do in this matter was agree or disagree.

But in fact, he has no choice at all, if he does not agree with Voss's suggestion to not let Erin take over as treasurer, then who will do this position?

Now he can't even find someone to take over the fictitious position of administrator, and the important and irreplaceable position of financial officer, who else can he let if he doesn't let Erin take over.

So although it seemed a little unruly, after frowning and thinking for a while, Rocky nodded at Erin and said:

"Erin, the finances of Thunder Eagle City will be handed over to you, and I hope you will not live up to Lord Vos's recommendation. ”

"Thank you, Lord Castle. ”

"You should give me a summary of the city's finances and the last three quarters' revenues as soon as possible. ”

"Yes. ”

While agreeing to Erin to become the new treasurer, Rocky also gave her the task of making a summary of Thunderhawk City's finances to himself.

Later, Erin bowed deeply to Rocky and turned away.

It wasn't until she left that Lilia looked at Rocky.

"Rocky, what the hell is Voss going to do?"

"Who knows......"

Shaking his head, Rocky couldn't figure out Vos's thoughts, but he felt that it was a good thing for Voss to do this, because in this way, the original team of Thunderhawk City would be completely gone, and Rocky's control over the city would be further increased, which was of course a good thing.

Therefore, he didn't think much about it, but turned to Lilia:

"Lilia, I want you to act as the Guards first, only temporarily, of course, and I'll make other appointments when I find the right man. ”

"No problem. ”

Lilia did not refuse this request, she knew very well the importance of the guards, and this kind of power should indeed help Rocky control it, and not fall into the hands of outsiders.

After that, things were easy to do, Lilia went to take over the guards, and Rocky summoned all the people who originally belonged to Perolo to the city lord's hall to meet with these people, and also arranged for them to make a summary of the detailed data of Thunder Eagle City, including population, industry, material reserves, etc., and bring it to themselves.

As the lord of a city, Rocky must have a comprehensive understanding of his city.

It wasn't until all this was arranged that his work was finally over.

However, Rocky, who was idle, did not rest, but returned to his room, and then took out the research notes left by Wensel!

This notebook contains detailed records of all aspects of the magic runes, which is a great asset, and all Rocky has to do is to learn everything in the notes and master the magic runes thoroughly.

"Come on......"

Holding the notebook in his hand, he took a deep breath, then slowly opened it and flipped through its contents.

At this glance, Rocky was directly immersed in it, and by the time he stopped, it was already late at night!

"Unthinkable ......"

Slowly closing the notebook in his hand, Rocky tried to calm himself down, but could not do anything.

Because what he saw in this research notebook was really shocking!
