"Honey, where have you been in the afternoon? I haven't seen you since I woke up."

Seta ate small pieces of fragrant lamb chops and muttered:

"It's nothing, I'm going to patrol the territory," he turned his head and asked:

"What's the matter, dear, what's the matter?"

Alice shook her head:

"No, nothing" followed by a smile:

"It's just that I haven't been around town for a long time, remember to inform me next time I go out, I'm going out together"

"Uh-huh, okay, dear, no problem!"

Seta shook her head and took a sip of the dark red wine from her glass, then put down her glass and continued to solve the lamb chops that had not yet been eaten;

At this moment a servant came quietly and whispered something in Highbury's ear, and then he saw Highbury nod slightly, and then walked up to Seta and bowed:

"Your Excellency, Subi and Hans Duck have asked to see you, now outside the castle"

"Oh?" Seta looked up:

"Let them in, and let the kitchen bring two more servings."

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Highbury bowed down and retreated, first commanding a servant to go to the kitchen to deliver the message, and then he himself went to the castle gate to fetch some of the upper echelons of the realm in;

Presently, when the servants had put the hot food on the table, Highbury came with two high-ranking lords, and Highbury returned to his place and stood, while the rest were saluted by the knight Subi and Hans:

"Good evening, Sir!"

"Hmm" Seta nodded, pointing to the empty seats on either side:

"Sit down and eat together!"

"Tonight I ate grilled lamb chops, and it tasted good"

"Thank you very much for your hospitality, sir!" and after bowing again, the two of them sat down for dinner;

After some more time, Seta finished the food on his plate and raised his glass to moisten his throat:

"Subi, how is the recruitment going?

Hurriedly swallowing the minced meat in his mouth, Subi nodded:

"It went very well, Sir!"

"Thanks to the regular payment from the Lord's Mansion last month, the people are now very active about this kind of lucrative thing!

"A full 93 people signed up!"

"Well, that's good!" Seta smiled and nodded:

"Where's the weapons, are they all ready?"

Subi nodded in response:

"The reserve of 50 men was equipped with spears, and the 30-man guards were uniformly equipped with half-body leather armor"

"It's all ready, and it can be used in a few days."

Nodding with a soft 'um', Seta raised her glass:

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!". Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ。。

Then Highbury came over again and whispered:

"Your Excellency, George Luther has arrived, and is now waiting outside the castle to be summoned."

Take a sip of the wine and nod:

"Let him in!"

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Soon after, George Luther followed Highbury to the dining room and bowed:

"Good evening, Sir!"

"Hmm" nodded slightly, and Seta saw that the two subordinates had finished eating, and stood up:

"Let's go over there!" and turned to Alice again:

"Honey, I'll go over and talk about something first!"

Alice smiled and nodded:

"Okay, go get busy, Setta, I'll be fine here."

Nodding slightly, he strode towards the reception area, and several subordinates hurriedly followed, sat on the sofa and let the servant bring hot tea;

Then beckoned to Highbury:

"Highbury, sit down too, and you will participate in this conversation!"

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

When the castle butler sat down, and then had a cup of tea for Highbury, Seta spoke:

"Subi has just reported the progress of personnel, which is very good"

"The expected requirements have been met, and we now have a full 80 soldiers!"

"Should be enough to use" turned his head:

"George, what's going on over there?"

George Luther bowed slightly, and his tone was calm:

"I've been meeting with the stewards of a few shops since last night, and I've spent 22 gold coins so far," he continued, after a pause:

"The materials purchased now are being put into storage, and preliminary statistics show that the materials in stock are enough to support the town's consumption for a year!"

A smile appeared on his face when he said this, obviously satisfied with his results, and at the same time, his words made everyone breathe a sigh of relief:

Don't worry about food for at least a year!

Seta was also very happy, and commanded:

"Subi, arrange for a small team to guard the warehouse!"

"Yes, sir!" everyone knows the importance of the warehouse:

"Guaranteed to be foolproof!"

Then the few people briefly exchanged the next arrangements, which were generally to store supplies, train soldiers, and maintain internal stability.

The tasks for the subsequent period of time will be arranged according to the principle of these three points.

Early the next morning, the castle small training ground;

Seta is practicing the use of the Dou Qi Technique, the Earth Split, which is also a Dou Qi Combat Skill awarded to him by the Earth Church during the Demon Tribulation Banquet;

After this period of exploration, Seta has almost completely mastered the use of this Dou Qi technique:

In a special way, it matches the frequency of breathing and muscle trembling to stimulate the fighting energy in a small range, so that you can achieve the same combat power with less fighting energy consumption!

"It's an amazing feat!"

In Seta's view, the Dou Qi technique is very similar to the kung fu in his previous life, but the object of study is different, but the ultimate goal is the same:

They all want to achieve higher combat power with less consumption!

It's just that the object of study of kung fu is the body, and the fighting qi technique is fighting qi.

In addition to being proficient in the use of Dou Qi skills, Seta is more important to perceive the bottleneck between level 7 and level 8;

Only by becoming a level 8 high-ranking knight will there be more room for maneuver when facing possible challenges in the future;

Or is it a world where power reigns, no matter what ideas you want to achieve, or do you just want to live a happy life?

Strength is the foundation of it all!

At this time, Highbury ran over, with a serious expression:

"Your Excellency, there are very bad rumors in the territory!"

"What rumors?" asked Setta, straightening up and sheathing her sword;

Highbury was slightly silent, took out a note and handed it out:

"Your Excellency, this is the content of the rumor"

Take it with a soft 'um':

'There was a vile villain who abandoned his companions in battle, and in the end everyone else died, but he came back alive, but in the end he was richly rewarded for his rhetoric'

"Hehe" slightly pressed the note into powder, and Seta looked slightly cold:

"Has the investigation come out? Who is spreading it?" There must be people in the territory to cooperate, otherwise it will not be able to achieve such an effect! After all, he has already strengthened his surveillance.

Standing behind his lord, feeling the pent-up anger, Highbury swallowed lightly and continued:

"According to the investigation, the rumors first came from the Firefox Tavern"

"But... When he had finished speaking, he heard:

"Arrest everyone!"

Highbury raised his head slightly, a little puzzled, and asked:

"What do you mean, Your Excellency?"

The chill on Seta's face had dissipated, and even with a smile, he turned to look at his butler:

"I say, go and arrest all the people who were in the tavern during that time."

"Whether it's the drinker or the owner of the tavern, it's everyone!"

"Do you understand?"

"Yes, Your Excellency!" said Highbury, nodding hurriedly;

At this time, little Hubi ran over from a distance and came close to salute:

"Sir, there's someone from the Earth Church coming, and he wants to see you!"

"What do you mean by coming at this time?"
