Chapter 51: White Rock Town Council
In the Lord's Mansion in the center of White Rock Town, the white stone tower stands tall, and the sharp spire pierces into the dark sky. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoThis is the tallest building in the entire town of White Rock, and the top floor of the building is a stargazing platform. At this moment, Salit Larsson on the stargazing platform opened her arms, closed her eyes and said something in her mouth. This is a long-standing divination secret phrase in Kangqiao County, and suddenly the crystal ball on the table in front of her emitted a pale blue light. The north wind continued to howl over the observatory, and on the stone steps outside the observatory stood a warrior in full armor, it was Yoda, the tax collector of the realm, his body standing straight in the cold wind.
Salit Larsson opened his eyes and stared at the crystal ball on the table. In the darkness of endless darkness, a pair of red eyes surged like a tide, drowning the darkness. The blue crystal ball turned as red as blood. The red roses of Kangqiao County are crumbling in the cold wind. "Why, why is this so unwillingly unwilling, to the White Rock Territory that has been developed so hardγγγγγγ β
"Ma'am!" Yoda's swift figure moved through the darkness, leaving a trail of blue light. No one was allowed to approach while the lord was observing the stars, and loyal warriors could only stand guard on the steps of the observatory.
"Yoda, I'm fine, you let me down. Salit Larsson put her hands on her forehead, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"Yes, ma'am. Yoda, the tax collector of White Rock Town, straightened his lordship, then straightened his clothes and headed to the bottom of the observatory.
"Yoda, you go down first, gather the rest of the territory, and I'll have something to announce later. Salit Larsson put her hand back on the crystal ball, her chest heaving and heaving, and it was clear that what she had just seen inside the crystal ball had stirred her heart.
In the hall below the stargazing platform, the nobles of White Rock Town gathered around the fireplace and made a noisy noise like a vegetable market. The hall has a high dome and bright tall windows, but it's not a good place in such weather. The fireplace was filled with pine trees from the Black Forest, a wood that was resistant to burning and had a faint smell of resin, but except for the part of the hall near the stove, which was a little warmer, the rest of the hall was cold and frozen. It was still the warmth of the house at home, and if it weren't for the lord who called everyone over for a meeting, no one would be willing to leave their warm nest.
"Our poor tax collector, our noses are going to freeze, come and warm up. An old gray-haired nobleman by the fireplace graciously gave way to a place.
Yoda shifted his heavy body, shrunk his neck, and pressed his frozen fingers closer to the fireplace flames. "Damn the eternal night, it's too cold. How could those adventurers still run outside in such weather. β
"Of course it's for the money, if it weren't for the well-known Golden Moore, who would come to White Rock Town in the cold and dark eternal night, the horror of the ghost beast is very clear to the whole Celtiana, those people came here just to want the magic crystal and fur of the ghost beast. These are valuable magical materials. Someone by the fireplace said.
"How is our beloved and beautiful lord, the stargazing platform is not a place for people in such cold weather, although she is also a brave warrior, but don't forget that she is only a woman. She's been up there a bit long tonight. The gray-haired old nobleman had a worried look in his eyes.
"I'm fine, thank you for your concern!" Salit Larson's voice rang out in the hall, and the smile on his face was a little reluctant, I don't know if it was because of a bad mood or because of the cold wind blowing on the stargazing platform for a long time.
There was a hula and the crowd around the fireplace dispersed, and everyone silently found their place, and soon the hall was filled with only the crackling sound of the pine burning. Salit Larsson was a dignified lord, and the nobles of Whitestone Town would never dare to raise their voices when she was there.
Da Salit Larsson coughed and sat in her place, and the two rows below were the nobility of White Stone, who were silent.
"Who's the last one in the empty seat?" Salit Larsen's icy voice echoed through the hall, which is why she was called the Ice Lord, the Grand Duke of Ice. In her council hall, even if it was summer outside, as soon as Salit Larsson spoke, the whole council hall seemed to be snowfall.
"Dear lord, that is the place of your newly crowned Baron Morgride. Tax collector Yoda couldn't help but pray for the poor gray dwarf.
"Oh, it turned out to be him, I had given him more important work, and this time he was exempt from attending the meeting. "The lord of Whitestone is rare and does not get angry, her cold voice rings out in the council hall, this is the daily routine of Whitestone, such meetings are staged every week before the onset of winter and after the eternal night.
About a decade ago, a young girl came to White Rock alone. Until then, White Rock was a remote place for adventurers, and every year on winter nights, the ghost beasts of the eternal night make this remote town crowded with adventurers who want to make a fortune. Such a girl seems out of place with everything here.
Soon after, the girl took out the lord token from the Duke of Plantagenet in Frost-Free City, and soon the lord issued a series of decrees in my territory. Although White Rock Town belongs to the territory of Duke Plantagenet of Frost-Free City, due to the long distance and the eternal night for half a year, Frost-Free City's ownership of White Rock Town is almost equal to furnishings. Many adventurers banded together to resist the lord's taxes. And at that time, the lord seemed helpless.
Immediately after that, the news came from Baishi Town that the lord was pregnant, and such a thing as a girl was enough to discredit the lord. Soon news spread in the town of White Rock that the Blood Rose of Kangqiao County had been exiled by the Duke of Kangqiao, so the decree issued by the lord was regarded as an after-dinner joke by the adventurers of White Rock Town. But that doesn't end there.
A year later, the legendary Knight of Light Alpha from the Holy City built a tall temple in White Stone, and that year Salit Larsen, who held William in his hand, was blessed by the legendary Knight of Light Alpha himself in the presence of the townspeople. From then on, the monthly ruling of Shiraishi Town began as the first decree of the lord.
