Chapter 12 Clearing the Streets
Brian walked out of the Garson Hills, and although the soles of his feet were blistered, he was relaxed, and the refuge farm gave him a depressing feeling, and he thought that he was like a severely constipated patient there, and the unknown powerful atmosphere made him extremely unhappy. Regardless of whether Helois and Whit were seducing each other or persecuting and threatening, he never told St. Osidine's secret, and there were a few times when he couldn't help but want to ask, with the strength of the refuge farm, maybe he could directly solve the threat of the Holy Child, why did Dunbar have to go to the church?
"Regardless of this, there is no need to worry about it, the safety of the plane is not something that a little person like me can control. Brian comforted himself, saying that he didn't think about it, and his mind was still circling. The terrifying Church of the Stars, the mysterious Old Man Dunbar, the suspicious Herois, the incredible summoning magic. "Even if Helois is not a demon, he must have a deep relationship with the demon, otherwise how could there be so many demon beings in the castle?"
Brian probably knows that the world he is in is called the main plane, and there are four planes related to the main plane, namely the fire world, the ice world, the demon world and the underworld. But the demons of the refuge farm are all honest, and it should be some kind of factor to tame them.
"It must be the breath of the Demon Emperor, the Demon Clan is absolutely obedient to the Demon Emperor. Brian came to a satisfactory conclusion, "If I were to learn magic, would I have some talent, and it doesn't seem like magic is as bad as I thought." ”
In his memory, Brian didn't have enough recognition of magic, he had come into contact with some warlocks and priests who mastered magic, and felt that magic was like a trick, grandstanding, and had no effect on actual combat, or it was to exorcise evil spirits and cure people.
After sleeping all night, early the next morning, Brian went to the Sheriff's Office to report that Gaunt looked very haggard, with messy hair and a scruffy beard, and he had neglected to even groom his appearance, and when he saw the adjutant enter the door, it was like seeing a savior, and a lot of complaints poured out:" My lord, you can count it back, the mayor has asked us to clean the streets, and rid the taverns and innkeepers of adventurers, this is too much trouble, especially for the old ladies, who are very uncooperative in their work, and I will be able to quarrel with you for a day if we move their chicken coops, and I will go crazy. ”
"What are you doing with the chicken coop, what are you doing with that?" said Brian, puzzled.
"Mistress Quiller said to leave a perfect impression on Cardinal Alcott that under his rule the town of Toby was neat and quiet. Gaunt shook his head and said, "This broken town full of chicken feathers can't be cleaned up even if it takes three years." ”
"Alright, alright. Brian stopped Gaunt's grumbling, "The mayor's task is always to be done, after all, he is not afraid that Lord Bishop will be bitten by poisonous insects, and you will go to catch mosquitoes." In this way, don't move the chicken coop, gather a few carpenters in the town, make the old ladies' chicken coops into a uniform style, and replace them with new ones, and it is estimated that no one will be unhappy. ”
"The chicken coop and dog kennel on the street are all done like this, and who will pay for the wages?" said Gaunt, who would not be able to do this kind of odd work without paying cash.
"I went and told the mayor to pay for it. Brian was sure, "The town's taxes, this money is still coming out, and Lord Quiller wants to show it, but he can't be too stingy." ”
"You give me trouble, Brian, don't say ten silver coins, I won't take out a copper plate, and if those townsfolk don't obey, I'll let you catch all their chickens and ducks and make them into a snack for the night." Quiller said indignantly, "Where have all the people's beliefs gone, and when the archbishop comes, there is no piety?"
"Lord Quiller, the money in the town is not yours, so why bother?" Bryan advised, "for a little silver coin, if you please the bishop and say a few kind words to Archduke Alex, you will be promoted? at least you can be transferred to a better town and leave this hellish place." ”
"You know it's a ghost place, what's the idea?"
Brian took two pieces of paper out of his trouser pocket and handed them to Quiller, "We put up signs in the town to warmly welcome the church, so that Lord Alcott can feel that not only the people, but also the animals are grateful for his kindness, that old fellow, isn't it beautiful to bubble?"
Quiller grabbed a piece of paper and said, "Helen's chickens are grateful for the Bishop's arrival!
"That's right, let's get some big banners on the main street of the town, I calculated that there will be less than one gold coin in total, and you can prepare some more special products for the bishop, and send them over at night, it will definitely have unexpected effects." ”
"Specialty, yes, how about black leopard skin and raccoon dog oil, it's a good thing. "Well, then, go and call me the owner of the wild store, and I'll have a good talk with him, for this man is guilty of tax evasion, and it's time to settle accounts with him today." ”
"Yes, he can't count you. Brian scoffed.
"Taverns, inns, and small gambling houses underground, you have to check all these places, in short, in the whole town of Toby, there must not be a slave, not a single person who is dissatisfied with the church, and no heresy, otherwise you and I will lose our heads. Quiller emphasized.
"I'm going to warn those dangerous people, don't be careless, and make a fool of you. Brian straightened his clothes, smiled and walked out of the gate of the town hall to inform Gaunt, who was waiting outside. "Go ahead, go to the tax office and get the money, and do it my way. ”
"Okay, my lord, you still have a way, it's right to mix with you. Gaunt excitedly.
Brian came to Clear Water Street alone, that is, the main street of Toby Town, walked into the Yellow Beard Tavern, picked a place to sit down, and crossed Erlang's legs very comfortably, and the bartender immediately brought him an aperitif.
"Any news in particular, Eugene?" said Brian, picking up his hat on the table and greeting him at the tavernkeeper.
Eugene, who had a golden beard, came over and sat in front of him and said: "Lord Adjutant, adventurers and mercenaries have no faith, I heard that the bishop is coming, but I don't want to touch my head, and now I am hiding, the mercenary team leader Gallaher said that he is going to go on an adventure for thirty days and catch a few dwarven craftsmen." ”
Brian frowned and said, "Didn't he read the notice, the Misty Forest is in danger?"
"These scoundrels have nothing on their minds but money. Eugene shook his head.
