"Carl, you've been working hard these days. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 After using the 'rattan bridge' to build a wide passage from the Magic Light Seven to the port, Rason smiled and said to Karl, who was weathered and much more mature.

Although Luo Sheng's viscount title and territory have just arrived, it does not mean that Luo Sheng has not prepared in this regard before. In fact, soon after the Battle of Snow Dragon Pass, Luo Sheng sent Carl, the only retainer at that time, to Hokuriku, so that he could explore the territory and the situation around the territory, and at the same time make the most basic preparations for the construction of the territory. Before the fleet set off, Luo Sheng had already obtained the general information that Carl had sent back through the magic communication crystal, otherwise, it would be impossible for Luo Sheng to come directly with the fleet without a single eye.

When Carl was first sent to Hokuriku, most of the North Sea was still frozen, so Karl did not come to Hokuriku by sea, but by land in Hokuriku, braving the cold and ice. That is, starting from the vicinity of Xuelongguan, along the eastern edge of the Longji Mountain Range, first going north into Hokuriku, and then eastward, all the way to the side of the new sprouts.

Although this road is the main route for the homeless to get to the Northlands, it is not very easy to walk. Especially in winter, there are many dangers. Even if Carl has good strength and sufficient supplies, he must have suffered a lot of hardships along the way.

"I'm your first retainer, my lord, and it's not right to suffer a little. And this pain is far worse than when I changed jobs. Carl said with a smile.

With the help of Luo Sheng, after killing the black and white thorns and untying the knot, Carl's mentality was much brighter, especially after realizing that Luo Sheng was not the kind of traditional autocratic lord, Carl and Luo Sheng were much more active and close to each other.

"Not bad. Carl, your mindset can be maintained so well, it looks like there should be no problem with the promotion to Silver. When this section is over, I will give you the ceremony of promotion to the silver rank. Luo Sheng said with satisfaction.

Although the Shadow Slayer profession is powerful, it is also easy to cause distortions in the cultivator's mentality because of the pain during cultivation. And once the mentality is distorted and unbalanced, the cultivator will also lose control of the shadow power. Either the strength stagnates, or step by step it goes to extremes and madness and becomes incorrigible. Only those who are truly able to harness pain with their strong will and maintain a balanced mindset can continue on this path.

Originally, Carl embarked on this path for revenge, and Luo Sheng was worried that after revenge, Carl's will would be lax and his mentality would go wrong, but judging from the current situation, Carl's situation is obviously much better than expected. In addition, Luo Sheng is now in urgent need of a powerful helper, so he is happy to let Carl's strength take another step and strengthen the power of the territory.

"Thank you, sir. Carl's spirit was shocked, and he immediately bowed deeply and said solemnly.

After these days of cultivation and fighting, Carl's strength has reached the peak of the bronze level with the help of the characteristics of the Shadow Slayer. Although limited to the particularity of the hidden profession of the Shadow Slayer, it is difficult to be promoted to the silver rank, but purely in terms of combat effectiveness, even if Carl is not as good as those silver peak existences, but in the general silver rank, Carl is not afraid at all.

After testing his actual combat power many times, Karl deeply felt the preciousness of the hidden profession of Shadow Slayer. For Luo Sheng, who helped him change jobs, his heart was full of gratitude and loyalty. Now that Luo Sheng is willing to spend a lot of precious materials to help him advance to the silver rank, Carl is naturally even more grateful.

"You said it, you are my first retainer, I don't cultivate you, who do you cultivate!" Luo Sheng patted Carl on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Helping Carl to be promoted to Silver is not only to reward Carl for his hard work and credit, but also to set an example for everyone who has just joined his command and give them some confidence. After all, at present, Luo Sheng's foundation is just beginning, and if he wants to quickly gather people's hearts, in addition to giving his subordinates relatively generous treatment, he must give them a hope and a head. And the treatment that Carl received was an incentive for Luo Sheng to his subordinates: as long as he was loyal to me, served me, and made meritorious contributions to me, he could get the opportunity to be promoted to the silver rank. This is the most effective incentive for subordinates who are mainly mercenaries and soldiers.

"Are you Charles, the mayor of Sprout Town?" After motivating Carl, Luo Sheng turned his head and asked the middle-aged man who was standing behind Carl and waiting respectfully.

"I've seen the lord, and I'm Charles. Charles, who was athletic and looked extremely strong, bowed deeply before responding respectfully.

Before the Nemba Territory was canonized as Rason's Domain, Charles was the leader of the settlement of Nemba Harbor. Previously, he had even obtained the title of mayor from the Elson Kingdom through the connections of a branch of the Benson family, although no real town had been built in New Sprout Harbor, but only a relatively fortified village. He himself is a warrior at the peak of bronze, with more than a dozen professional ranks under his hands, sheltering hundreds of low-level outcasts from Elson, and among the many small forces around him, he can be regarded as a figure.

However, after being 'educated' by Carl with his strength and figuring out Carl's background background, especially after knowing the powerful background of Luo Sheng, the new lord, Charles, who was quite knowledgeable, chose to obey very wisely. Not only did he actively level the land and prepare for the convoy according to Karl's request, but when the convoy arrived, he organized almost all the laborers in the village to come and serve Rason. While Rasheng and Carl were chatting, hundreds of natives from the Nguyen stronghold were already carrying supplies on the docks.

"It's a good job to be able to organize so many people to help. Luo Sheng glanced at the orderly Hokuriku laborers, nodded slightly, and said lightly.

Although there are many people in the fleet, they are basically mercenaries and soldiers. As soon as these people landed, under the leadership of Old Bard and Andy, the leader of the Cook family's soldiers, they disembarked to set up defenses, and the main people who were really responsible for transporting the fleet's supplies were the flotilla's retinue and these Northland laborers organized by Charles.

"Thank you, Lord for the compliment, this is what we should do. Charles bowed his head and replied respectfully.

Although from the heart, he can be free and be an independent 'mountain king', no one wants to be a subordinate to others and obey the command of others. But Charles, who had been in the Elson Kingdom and surrounding countries, knew very well that with this little strength in his hands, it was not enough to fight against the new lord of Rasen. Not to mention the rest, just Carl, a thief who seems to only have a bronze rank, but is actually even more terrifying than the average silver rank, is enough to solve his own village. Not to mention Luo Sheng, who has the background of the White Tower of the Nine Rings.

And after really seeing the huge fleet brought by Luo Sheng, and the magic ability displayed by the 'Fuji Bridge' built by Luo Sheng with spells in a moment, Charles was more aware of the huge gap between the two sides, so he could only completely give up the idea of resisting and respectfully be a 'Shunmin'.

"Well, you will inform me in a while, after the materials are transported, every lord who participates in the transportation can get a reward of gold scales, which can be regarded as a gift to everyone as a lord. Luo Sheng said casually as he walked forward.

"Thank you, Lord Lord, for the reward!" Charles was slightly stunned, and then thanked with a face full of surprise.

Originally, after knowing that his area was a nobleman's domain, Charles had the idea of fleeing with the name of the village. After all, the vast majority of the people who came to Hokuriku to beg for a living, except for criminals who had committed serious crimes and couldn't stay in the Northland countries, were poor people who were oppressed by the ruling class such as nobles and officials and had little way to live. For the aristocracy, there is an instinctive resistance.

But the thought only flashed through his mind for a moment, and Charles tossed it aside. After all, the villages in Hokuriku are not wealthy, they don't have much savings at all, and their main assets are villages that have been built with great difficulty and have good defense capabilities, as well as the land that has been painstakingly developed outside. To flee is to give up these most important possessions. No one will take this path unless they have to.

Since there is no way to escape, Charles and many villagers are actually ready to be exploited. After all, in the impression of these villagers whose ancestors had escaped from the noble domain, the noble lord was the villain who oppressed the lord. Not only will it take away most of the income of the lords, but it will also often do unpaid labor for the lords, and bear heavy labor. And Carl asked Charles to organize people to come to the dock to prepare to carry supplies, which also confirmed the speculation of Charles and the villagers.

Just when Charles was lamenting the future fate of his village, Luo Sheng's words completely broke the doubts in Charles's heart. You must know that even if you work at the docks of the royal capital, after a day's hard work, it is only the salary of one silver coin at most. Luo Sheng gave everyone who worked a golden scale, not at all to exploit the labor force of the people, but to really reward the people.

For Charles, a golden scale is not worth much, but what is really precious is the attitude of the lord of Rason. Luo Sheng's willingness to pay and reward the people for their labor at least shows that Luo Sheng is not the kind of bastard aristocrat who only knows how to squeeze the oil and water of the people. Coupled with the strong strength and power shown by Luo Sheng, Charles felt in his heart for the first time that it might not be a bad thing to have multiple lords on his head.

"Well, you go and direct them to work. Don't worry, I don't lack money in my hands, as long as you work hard for me, your wages are indispensable. Luo Sheng said lightly.

Although legally speaking, the lord has considerable power to dispose of the lord, even if the lord is allowed to work for free, it is within the rules. However, Luo Sheng is well aware that relying on violence to force the people to work is not only extremely inefficient, but also very unpopular. It is also very detrimental to the future development of the territory. If you want to truly bring the people to their hearts, you must not only show strong strength, but also give the people enough benefits.

"Yes, my lord!"
