Chapter 330: Carnival Night

Although Ryan knew that his parents didn't like the hustle and bustle. However, he still had to hold a grand dinner, because his status had been raised to the status of Ryan, and there was no selfish matter at all. Take the banquet to welcome Ryan's parents, for example, this is not only a sign of calming people's hearts, but also an opportunity to meet with subordinates to win people's hearts.

Although Ryan still doesn't like politics, as a lord who rules Cassano with an iron fist, Ryan still has to often show his affinity in front of his subordinates, after all, not everyone works hard to make Cassano stronger, and many people are trying to get higher official positions and power.

Ryan doesn't like this kind of person, but he knows that everything can't be forced, and those in high positions must be inclusive in order to maximize their strength, not to mention that as long as Ryan is good at guiding, he can also make these characters who have become Cassano officials in pursuit of power exert their own strength.

Ryan asked himself that he was incorruptible when he ruled Cassano, and he almost did not use the manpower and material resources of the territory to satisfy his selfish desires, but spent a lot of effort to govern Cassano. After unifying the whole of Cassano, Ryan adopted Franner's suggestion to reduce the taxes levied on his subordinates and vigorously develop commerce here.

Due to the decrease in the tax rate, the spare money in the hands of the people naturally increased, and the money spent naturally became more, which led to the exchange of caravans. The more frequent the caravanserais, the more active Cassano's economy became, and the taxes levied by the Cassano authorities in this area naturally increased greatly.

In this way, the overall income of Cassano has not only not decreased, but has increased a lot, and the income of the territory is high, so it can naturally do a lot of things, such as building roads, raising homeless elderly people and children, etc., so the biggest difference between Iron Fist Castle and other cities on the continent is that it has no beggars here, because it has the ability to support itself, and under Cassano's construction, it has long found a job to fill its stomach to do, and those old, weak, sick and disabled are supported by Ryan at a fixed cost.

It is precisely because Ryan made the lives of the people here better and better after the unification of Cassano, so the vast majority of people here hope that this kind of life can continue forever, but many people are faintly worried in their hearts, because Ryan was not born and raised here after all, in a sense, he is just a passerby.

Ryan came here because of Vivien's request, but now that Ryan leaves, I'm afraid no one will be able to keep him. But this vague panic disappeared without a trace immediately after Ryan took his parents over, just imagine that since their lord took over his parents, then he naturally regarded this place as his home, not to mention that there is still his woman here, and after a few years, Lord Ryan has a child and an heir to the territory, so wouldn't such a good life be maintained for generations?

It was precisely because of this thought that Ryan's dinner party became quite lively, although Ryan repeatedly emphasized that he would not accept gifts, but the officials of all sizes plus the citizens in the Iron Fist Castle still filled the council hall and the three side halls. Reluctantly, Ryan accepted all the gifts, and immediately ordered a large amount of food to be prepared for the elderly and children in the city, and announced that the tax rate would be reduced by another five percent this year.

As soon as the news of the tax rate reduction came out, the entire Iron Fist Castle was boiling, and everyone was cheering for their lord, you must know that the tax rate on the entire continent is generally maintained at three to forty percent, and before that, Ryan had lowered the tax rate, only twenty-five percent, which was the same as the free heaven. Now it has been lowered again, and Cassano has become the lowest tax rate in the entire continent at a rate of 20 percent.

In Ryan's opinion, it doesn't matter whether these taxes are collected or not, he has the gold coins provided by the Imperial Capital Magic Guild every month, and he can quickly exchange for a lot of money by making some magic items, it can be said that there is no shortage of money to spend, and Cassano's taxes can be used as long as they can keep this place running normally, even if they really overcharge, in the end, it is not to be spent on the people here, rather than tossing like this, it is better to simply reduce it, so that everyone will be happy.

The whole dinner basically revolved around Ryan's parents, and the officials, nobles, and commoners present knew that making Ryan's parents happy was making Ryan happy, and they all circled around the middle-aged couple. Ryan's parents had never seen such a situation before, and they soon couldn't support it, but fortunately Vivien and Adela were always by their side, so they could barely cope with it.

However, Ryan's parents still didn't get used to this kind of noisy scene, so everyone was very interested in not letting the whole dinner last too long, which relieved Ryan's parents. However, although the dinner was over, the revelry in the city continued, and the guests who had left the party soon went back to the revelry night in the city.

After handing over the matter of settling his parents to Vivien and Adela, Ryan changed into civilian clothes and began patrolling the city with a small group of guards. Now Ryan has the consciousness of being a lord, so no matter what he says and does, he has the majesty and discipline of a lord, such as a lively scene like tonight, as a lord, he still thinks of those subordinates who stick to their posts, such as the officers of the security department who maintain law and order and the soldiers of the army.

It will take at least 2 hours to patrol the entire Iron Fist Castle New Town, not to mention that Ryan insisted on walking through the military camp outside the city and all the streets in the city, and by the time Ryan returned to the top of the mountain again, the lights under his feet had become much dimmer, after all, the night was very late, and many citizens had to rest to prepare for the next day's work.

Ryan sat in a large wooden barrel filled with hot water, and couldn't help but let out a groan, as if the exhaustion in his body seemed to run away with the steaming heat. Ryan changed his comfortable position, closed his eyes slightly, and began to think about what he still lacked about the arrangements after leaving Cassano.

Gentle footsteps came from the doorway, and Ryan knew that the owner of the footsteps was Vivian before he opened his eyes, and Vivian, who was wearing a yukata, whispered when he walked to Ryan's bathtub, "Father and mother have rested, and they don't seem to be used to life here." ”

Ryan let out a soft "um" and didn't answer Vivien's words, but he recalled his childhood memories in his heart, he hadn't seen him for 5 or 6 years, and although his parents were still healthy, they had some gray hair on their temples compared to before.

Seeing that Ryan didn't speak, Vivien stepped into the tub and sat side by side with Ryan, who also put his arm around her shoulders, but still didn't open his eyes. Vivien leaned her head slightly on Ryan's shoulder and said cautiously, "Just now...... Just now, my mother whispered to Adela and me, asking us ...... Well, ask if we have children. ”

Ryan almost didn't jump when he heard this, and Vivien saw Ryan's appearance, and her heart became more and more uneasy, as if she had done something wrong. Ryan opened his eyes and looked at Vivian in his arms, and suddenly there was a lot of pity in his heart, Vivian has been standing behind Ryan silently, but there is no complaint, it can be said that he has a deep affection for himself, but he snubbed her because of Farah's relationship, if you really count it, she should be sorry for her.

Vivian saw that Ryan's face was a little strange, and her heart was even more worried, she whispered: "I'm sorry, Ryan, I ......" Vivian's words only said here, because Ryan kissed her on the lips deeply, Vivian was startled, she even subconsciously made a struggling move, but soon immersed in Ryan's manly atmosphere.

After a long time, Ryan let go of Vivian, and Vivien actually felt dizzy, and I don't know if it was because she couldn't breathe well or was surrounded by something called happiness. Ryan gently stroked Vivien's red hair and whispered in her ear, "Vivien, I'm going to punish you!"

Vivien was startled at first, but Ryan's later words made her face flush: "Since you are my woman, you actually say sorry to me, so I want to punish you!

Vivien glanced at Ryan, and a pair of warm red lips gently kissed Ryan on the mouth, Ryan deliberately shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem to be enough. ”

Vivien smiled, her gentle red lips running down Ryan's neck, and when she kissed Ryan's chest, her entire body was already under the water of the tub. Next, Ryan only felt an itch in his lower abdomen, and then his doppelganger entered a soft and warm place, and the pleasant feeling immediately spread all over Ryan's body, making him can't help but tilt his head back, and his whole body began to tremble slightly.

The red-faced Ryan couldn't control himself anymore, he roughly put his hands into the water, grabbed Vivian's body, and then used his fingers to turn Vivian's completely soaked yukata into pieces, Vivian seemed to know what was going to happen next, as a warrior, she now seemed to have no strength in her body, and could only let Ryan's body support herself from falling, but at the same time that Vivian put the weight of her entire body on Ryan's arm, she also whispered in Ryan's ear: "Go over there. ”

Ryan used the last of his consciousness to rush to the corner of the bathroom with the wet Vivien, where a wooden bed is placed all year round, and if you feel tired after bathing, you can take a rest here, but now it is regarded by Ryan as the most sacred battlefield.

Vivien only had time to put the white demon cloth she had prepared under her body, and she immediately felt Ryan's rough "aggression", and she couldn't help but snort in pain, but Vivien quickly gritted her teeth and silently endured it. Fortunately, Ryan already had a little experience in this area, and after seeing Vivien's hands gripping the sheets with her hands, as if she was being tortured, he consciously slowed down the pace of attack, and gently intertwined her fingers with Vivien, and kissed them gently.

Ryan's thoughtfulness also greatly touched Vivi's peace of mind, and the pain under her seemed to fade away, but it was a pleasant feeling that used Vivian's heart, and after seeing the change in the expression on Vivian's face, Ryan knew that she had exhausted her suffering, so she mobilized all her strength and began a long expedition......
