"Yes, sir. Dale complied.

"It's okay to disperse!" Lei Ming waved his hand impatiently and strode out of the council hall.

After Lei Ming left, all the officials hurriedly walked out of the Viscount's Mansion and began to carry out his orders to build the city.

The entire territory was mobilized and began to assemble in droves towards Port Vale. The family merchants of the territory, except for President Chase and others, who went to sea to buy food, were all busy. Collect materials for the construction of the Magic Tower, and direct his subordinates to transport batches of construction materials to the port.

For a time, the road to Port Vale was overcrowded. If it weren't for Fafer's urgent dispatch of the city guards to maintain order, there might not have been any trouble.

Port Vale, the newly appointed Commissioner of Taxation of Brussels, after receiving the news in advance, personally led more than 50 soldiers to escort and guard more than 200 mercenary slaves and demolish the houses that were in the way.

Fafer stood at the door of the bedroom, hesitated, knocked hard, and shouted, "My lord, I have something urgent to report." ”

"Come in!" Thunder yawned, got up and put on a coat, sat down in a chair, and said lazily, "Fafel, you'd better be in a hurry." Otherwise, I will let you know how serious the consequences of disturbing Viscount Ben rest. ”

Before I traveled, I didn't have a good rest because of various problems, and I came back for a busy day. He was really tired, not physically, but mentally. Unexpectedly, I just took a shower and slept for a while, and something came to the door, which was really hard work.

Fafer shivered, feeling a chill down his spine. After being stunned for a moment, he said stubbornly: "My lord, I just received a quick letter that the mercenaries of Port Vale made a rebellion to prevent the demolition of the house, and Brussels was seriously injured. ”

"What's the matter, didn't those mercenaries receive my orders?" said Lei Ming, frowning.

"My lord, those mercenaries really didn't receive your order, it was Brussels who received the news in advance, and in order to curry favor with you, they ordered someone to demolish the house. Fafer said in disgust.

Send a thousand city guards to arrest all the troublemakers, just as a large number of slaves are needed to build the city. Lei Ming said impatiently.

With the mercenary union being well-informed, it is impossible for those mercenaries not to know about the construction of the city, and it is obvious that someone is deliberately causing trouble. Moreover, those mercenaries in Port Vale are all wronged, even if they are all pulled out and cut down, absolutely none of them are wronged. He reduced these people to slavery, which was considered waste.

Fafer broke out in a cold sweat and reminded, "My lord, if you do this, the mercenary union will definitely interfere." ”

The Mercenary Guild is a powerful mercenary organization, with influence on several continents, and it is an exaggeration to say that where there are mercenaries, there are mercenary unions, and the power can be described as terrifying.

"Damn. Lei Ming's good mood was completely ruined, and his right index finger unconsciously knocked on the door and table, and said: "Inform the mercenary union, let the mercenaries who are making trouble in Port Vale get out of my territory within one day." If you don't leave after the expiration date, you will cut them all for me. ”

"My lord, if those people really don't leave, in what name will they be arrested?" asked Fafer.

The muscles at the corners of Lei Ming's mouth twitched, and he patted his forehead weakly. "Fafer, why are you still so stupid after following me for so long? I am the viscount of Grant Territory, and I have the final say in everything in the territory. Viscount Ben wants to kill some mercenaries, what else do you need? Understood? Understood, then let me get out and do something. ”

"Yes, sir. Fafer was embarrassed and walked out of the bedroom. Closing the door, I met Lisa walking towards a little boy about 10 years old, and asked suspiciously, "Lisa, who is this little guy?"

"He's Simon, Rose's son. Lisa touched the little one's head and said softly, "This is Favel, the lord's most loyal knight, call him uncle." ”

Simon glanced timidly at Fafer and ducked behind Lisa.

A smile froze on Fafer's face, and his outstretched hand was awkwardly retracted. "Come and find your lord!" He's inside, and I'll leave first. ”

Lisa nodded apologetically, knocked lightly on the door, and after Lei Ming responded, she whispered the precautions after seeing the lord before taking little Simon to push the door and walk in. His gaze unconsciously swept over the gorgeous bed, a flush appeared on his face, and he hurriedly withdrew his gaze and saluted, "My lord." ”

"This little guy is Simon, Rose's son!" said Thunder with a gentle expression.

"Lord... Old... Hello sir. Little Simon lay on the ground and stumbled.

Lisa covered her face, she had instructed many times before she came, and it was okay to bow when she saw the lord, and she practiced several times for this, and she instructed her again at the door, but she didn't expect to make such a big joke.

Lei Ming was stunned for a moment, got up and helped him up, and said with a smile: "You don't need to make this big gift, let alone call me master, this viscount is still very young, and you can call me lord in the future, or your lord." ”

"Your Excellency. Simon lowered his head and let out a low scream, like a mosquito and a fly, if it weren't for the thunder that greatly increased his perception after reaching level 13 Earth Knight, he might not have heard it.

"How's the test result?" he asked, turning around.

A trace of unbearability flashed on Lisa's face, but she still hardened her heart and replied, "My lord, the situation is even worse than expected. Simon had no talent for fighting spirit at all, and his body was too thin to withstand high-intensity training. Not to mention becoming a knight, you can't even reach the knight apprenticeship. “

"Is that so?" Lei Ming looked at little Simon carefully, his face was ruddy, but his body was extremely petite and thin, like a hemp rod, as if a gust of wind could blow it down. A trace of disappointment flashed on his face, and he said, "Go to the Viscount's Mansion and get 100,000 gold coins and send him back!"

"Yes, sir. Lisa's face flickered with surprise, and she saluted, leading little Simon out the door.

There are three types of currency on the mainland: gold, silver and copper, and one gold coin is equivalent to 10 silver coins and 100 copper coins. An ordinary family of five is enough for a month's normal need of one silver coin, and occasionally meat.

100,000 gold coins? It seems that Rose still has some weight in the lord's heart.

Little Simon suddenly broke free of Lisa's hand, ran back, raised his head, plucked up the courage to ask: "Lord Lord, we don't want gold coins, I only have one question, is my father Rose your loyal knight?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Lei Ming's eyes, and he said curiously, "Why do you ask that?"

"They all said that my father was a coward, a traitor, who betrayed his loyal lord for the sake of his future, and who ran away and was killed when you were attacked. It is a knight's disgrace and is not worthy to be called a knight. Little Simon clenched his fists and stubbornly raised his head. "I don't believe that my father is like that, he taught me to be a knight from an early age to be loyal first, can you tell me if my father betrayed me?"

Lei Ming's eyes showed a cold light, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and opened them for a long time. "No, you're all wrong, your father is not a true knight, but the most loyal knightly squire of my Viscount Grant. He didn't run away when I was in danger, he fought to the death, and in my mind he was a true knight. ”

He stood up, touched Simon's little head, and asked solemnly, "You, Simon, are you willing to carry on Rose's last wish and become my knight squire?"

"I do. Simon replied with tears in his eyes and sonorous power.
