Chapter 4 Plans
"My lord, the servants are dead, and a total of seventeen light armor and one chain mail have been collected. Lancelot reports to Jason, who was browsing the system in the carriage.
After the war, it was found that Jason was still a little uncomfortable with the corpse, so Lancelot took the initiative to contract the task of cleaning up the battlefield, even if the standard light armor worn by these soldiers was partially damaged, but it was still a rare good thing for ordinary people.
"Everybody's necks were broken. Lancelot frowned and said that he would never attack unarmed civilians.
Alas, although I guessed that Roth might not leave a living mouth in order not to leak the news, he still felt a little blocked in his chest after he really got the news.
"There's no time to bury them properly, so dig a pit nearby and bury it, and the chain mail will be handed over to you when the territory is repaired." "It seems that these servants are all uninformed, and this time they have only suffered an unwarranted disaster, which makes Jason feel a little guilty, but Jason doesn't know if there will be other assassins lurking around, so they will soon have to go!
As for Roth's death, Jason didn't plan to report it, the death of a knight in the Northland is not big, it is not small, after all, he is not his own servant, but the king's subordinate, in case he is stubbornly caught by the noble council, it will be troublesome, just if he is obsessed with the scenery of the Northland and insists on staying here, presumably King Lopez will not send someone to question his son for a subordinate who has not returned.
"We have limited conditions now, and we have wronged you. Jason glanced apologetically at Lancelot.
A piece of chain mail is indeed not worthy of his strength and identity, and even this chain mail is dispensable for him, but as a lord, Jason can't snub his knight.
"It's okay, sir. ”
After instructing Lancelot, Jason once again set his eyes on the system, the main interface of the system is very simple, only his basic information and the options for tasks and turntables.
He took a look, and the system tasks are divided into main quests and side quests, and there are three turntables!
The three lottery wheels are ordinary, advanced and deluxe three levels, the ordinary wheel has everything from ordinary to epic, but there is only one epic level, and the odds are pitiful, and there are even two blank awards in the prize area!
"He also said that he would avoid the system from falling asleep and let me develop well, and the lottery would leave me such a big hole. Seeing this, Jason couldn't help but complain.
"This is to avoid the host's dependence on the system, and it is easy to corrupt your fighting spirit for nothing!"
You have a reason for what you say!
The awards of the premium wheel are from exquisite to legendary, with one less blank prize area, and luxury is excellence to mythology, and the blank prize area disappears!
However, Jason wilted instantly as soon as he saw their raffle requests.
100 points for a regular turntable, 1000 points for premium, 10000 points for luxury!
And he only has a pitiful 80 remaining points, and after reaching the Iron Tooth Collar, he can only conduct an ordinary lottery after completing his first task!
"System, let's discuss. Jason said to the system with a shy face: "This lottery is too expensive, and it was killed before I could draw a few lotteries!"
"One price, no discount! Please don't indulge in gambling, and work hard to develop your territory is the best policy!"
"The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!" Jason was speechless about the shamelessness of the system.
"But why aren't there any side quests?"
"Given the current situation of the host, the system doesn't think you have the time or energy to complete side quests. ”
Jason shut up instantly, he realized that he couldn't say anything about this shameless system, no matter how he said it, it made sense.
"My lord, we can go. Lancelot came back from disposing of the body in a moment.
Jason only had one carriage, and Lancelot deigned to be the coachman first, and if it was rumored, other lords and nobles would definitely insult him for being a tyrannical thing!
If they have such a strong man under their hands, they will definitely be a treasure, how can anyone let him be a chauffeur!
Lancelot steered the carriage and said nothing.
It seems that his first subordinate is a taciturn person, Jason touched his chin, this kind of person is difficult to communicate!
Except for the sound of the carriage turning, there was silence, and an atmosphere called awkwardness rose from the bottom of Jason's heart.
"Ahem, Lancelot, do you have any specialty?" Jason, who felt that he should know more about his subordinates, took the initiative to provoke the topic.
"Fighting, training, commanding troops. Lancelot's answer was so simple and straightforward that it made Jason even more embarrassed.
And then? Shouldn't you tell us more about yourself? Jason felt that his experience from his previous life was completely useless.
However, to Jason's relief, it seems that Lancelot is an excellent general, which will make it a little less difficult for him to control the Iron Tooth Collar in the future.
After all, the Iron Fang Territory is remote, and there has been no lord to rule here for I don't know how many years, and the ruling power of the kingdom is very weak here, and there is only one small nobleman who does not enter the stream to maintain law and order here, and this little nobleman is also a member of the old nobles, so it is hard to guarantee that no one will bring some trouble to himself!
For example, the local land snake!
There will definitely be some shady forces in a town of nearly 10,000 people, and after Jason arrives in Iron Tooth Town, he must first take over the town's garrison, and then he will have to rectify these gray forces!
It is impossible to eradicate them safely, and where there is light, there will inevitably be darkness, and if the means are too radical, they will cause a backlash! On the contrary, if these forces are dealt with by gentle means, they will surely have miraculous results, at least let them not cause trouble for themselves!
If necessary, you can also promise some benefits, such as giving them some legal rights in the Iron Fang!
As for those civilians, I can't take care of them too much for the time being!
Soon after he crossed over, did he begin to think in the way of an aristocracy? Will he eventually become a tyrannical lord who only cares about the interests of the people and does not care about the lives of the people? That would be really terrible! Jason rubbed his forehead in annoyance, he seemed to have been infected with this habit recently.
After thinking about it for a long time, Jason found that his predecessor's understanding of the Iron Tooth Collar was really too poor! he only knew that the environment there was relatively harsh, more than half of the year was winter, and the grain production was scarce, and he even had to buy it from other territories frequently.
He only knew that the entire territory was about the size of a city in the previous life, but the population was less than 20,000, and there were nearly 10,000 people in Tieya Town, and the rest were scattered in the form of dozens of villages in the territory.
And then, there was no then!!
For example, he doesn't know anything about the Iron Fang's finances, taxes, defense forces, territorial resources, etc.!
In fact, this can't be blamed entirely on him, after all, after learning that there are less than 20,000 people in the Iron Fang Collar, Jason's predecessor is already desperate, where is there any heart to care about this! In this kind of society, population represents wealth, represents the military, and represents everything!
"It's a real headache, and it adds a lot of possibilities for accidents to my plans. "After all, Jason's knowledge of the situation in the Iron Tooth Collar was all derived from vague memories combined with his own speculation, so it was impossible not to disclose it.
"The general direction of the plan remains unchanged, and the remaining details can only wait until we reach the destination!"
He peered faintly into the northern sky through the window of the carriage, and as night fell, a few stars had appeared scattered in the sky.
