Chapter 13: Knighthood
The fishermen of Tuanhu Lake have lived in the north for hundreds of years, and the vast waters are a gift from heaven, which is enough to nurture the people by the lake and let them live a stable life, but I don't know when it began, the fishermen began to be dissatisfied with their so-called "lowly" work, and gradually formed a fierce wind, in addition to fishing, occasionally robbed around at night, but they have been well hidden, often under the banner of other thieves, and no one has found out.

Therefore, Huggins believes that Granhan is indeed a talent, because since arriving in Tuanhu Town, the information he has collected has not been traced about the fishermen, which shows that these people are very good at disguising, and each town has eyeliner, and every action is not leaky, it seems that only thieves can see through thieves.
The fishermen were very proud, thinking that they were extremely smart, and even if someone found out about the problem, they could play hide and seek with the officers and soldiers in the lake, and defeat the three towns coalition soldiers, what other power could destroy them?
It's a pity that this group of people met the evil god, and met Huggins, who was super dark in his heart and never spoke any reason, and this time he finally fell into bad luck. If they were normal people, how could they rashly exterminate hundreds of villagers without evidence? At the very least, after verifying the facts, we should arrest and crack down on those young and middle-aged people who have indeed committed crimes. Huggins wished there were more deaths, and his purpose was not to fight crime, but to rob money.
Two days later, the archmage, bent on carrying out the evil to the end, summoned all his undead, took advantage of the darkness to sink all the fishing boats that were leaning on the shore, and then rushed into the village like a wolf and began a massacre. The fishermen did not receive any information in advance, did not have any preparation, although they had heard of the devil, but they had not really seen it, and when they saw it, most of the people's first reaction was a burst of warmth and humidity in the crotch of their pants, and a small number of them fainted directly, and they did not organize a decent resistance at all.
Granhan's team waited on the outskirts of the fishing village, waiting for a fish to slip through the net, and in fact, not a single one escaped, except a few alive for Huggins to use to extract a confession. The methods of the dark mage can easily make people feel painful, and the fishermen who are not determined to survive it can not bear it at all, and soon confess the place where the gold is hidden, which turns out to be an island in the middle of a lake full of reeds. Huggins asked people to lead the way, took a boat to the cave on the island, and emptied the fishermen's savings for many years, and made a lot of money.
In this way, the guardian mage returned triumphantly with the few remaining people and returned to Tuanhu Town, announcing to everyone that all the thieves had been exterminated, and there would be no more bandits in the future. While praising his own exploits, he scolded the other mayors for fleeing the townspeople regardless of their lives and then confiscating their property.
The king soon learned of the merits of the guardian mage, and learned of his deeds of leading the village warriors against thieves and the devil's army, and with all aspects of operation, Huggins was made a baron, ruling over the three towns, and finally became a veritable nobleman. In less than two months, Huggins put a nameless villager in the small village from the march of power and had a great gain, as a feudal lord, he could collect taxes and raise an army according to his needs, which were his private property and no longer belonged to the state.
The little heads and faces of the town came to the Baron's banquet, bringing valuable gifts to congratulate the new noble, and while everyone was filled with music and wine, and frequently sent praises, Huggins was not interested at all, and there were only two things that excited him - the future throne and Edonna's body, Huggins would not even want to have this celebratory banquet if it were not for the strong advice of Peake and Braul, in his consciousness, he had only taken a step now, what was there to celebrate?
Finally the people dispersed, but Huggins didn't feel sleepy, he called the people he valued the most into the room, took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for everyone, and then clinked glasses with everyone. Pique, Brower, and Glenhan were a little flattered and felt as if their owners had changed into a different person.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if what we do is to climb the mountain, then now we are just lifting our feet up a ladder, and the road ahead is still very long, don't feel content because of a little victory and wealth in front of us, when the entire Lukai Continent is in our hands, it is the time to celebrate. Huggins just wiped his lips with his wine, "Have you ever thought about what to do next, one by one?" ā
Brower seemed very clever, and was the first to reply: "Of course, we will continue to encircle the big men of our kingdom, and even climb to the king of Tours, and strive to get a duke." ā
"Joke, the Kingdom of Jikru was originally a territory, and Tours himself was a duke, such a big place, how could someone else be a duke? Even if it was sealed, it was just an empty title. Besides, we already have a foothold, which is enough, and if we want to expand the fief, we will inevitably conflict with other nobles, or even with the royal family, which is not good. Huggins set his sights on Glenham.
Glenhan said: "I don't care so much, just be responsible for training and training soldiers, and provide a fighting force for adults, as for where you occupy, that's a matter for you to think about." ā
Huggins nodded approvingly, and looked at Pique again, Pike Khan stayed, he thought for a long time and still didn't know how to answer, so he had to tell the truth: "I haven't thought about it, and I don't know." ā
"Good, I like the way you look. Huggins said, "Brower, do you think you are smart, in addition to using my money for treats and gifts, has a lot of my money fallen into your own pocket, you have recently bought a manor, got several beautiful maids, and lived a good life." ā
"Lord...... Master, listen to me......"
"No need to explain, this is just a warning, I hope there will be no next time, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind. Huggins interrupted the other party's defense in a stern tone, "Let's talk about serious things, we should go in two directions, one is to occupy Tuanhu, and the other is to contact the second prince of the Xiangri Empire, Crofts, establish friendly contact with him, and help him destroy the king of Tours and become a hero of the empire, right?"
"Ahh
"Tur betrayed the Emperor first, can't we betray him, in fact, there is any betrayal, it is just the trend of the times. Huggins said, "You all have a number in your hearts, and you will all go to rest today." ā
