This lord really refuses to eat at all!

Thunder seemed to see through Esker's heart, pondered for a while, and clapped his hands. With a faint fluctuation of air, the two Shadow Knights suddenly appeared in the study, kneeling on one knee and bowing their heads in response.

He sat down, leaned back in his chair, and said lightly: "You obey the command of the gray bishop of Eske, until the task is completed, go!"

Looking at the Shadow Knight who came and went without a trace, Barrity's pupils contracted violently, and cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes. I was secretly glad in my heart, fortunately I didn't have a weapon, otherwise he would have been a corpse by now.

"My lord, I'd better stay here and fix the inner armor for you! Barrett took the initiative.

Lei Ming's heart moved, and he nodded.

The muscles at the corners of Esker's mouth twitched, and the old guy turned his face faster than he could turn a book. Sure enough, strength is king! He got up and saluted, and hurriedly walked towards the outside of the study.

Barrett suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly shouted: "Pastor Esker, after seeing the clansmen, don't take out the tokens you gave you before, it will make the clansmen misunderstand." ”

Bang!

A dull crash sounded, obviously hitting his head on the pillar, and then a curse of annoyance came into his ears through the crack in the door, and a strange glint flashed in Thunder's eyes, and he asked, "Patriarch Barrett, how old are you this year?"

Barrett's expression was abrupt, his chest thumped, and he said proudly: "Don't worry, my lord, the life span of a dwarf is eight hundred, and I am only more than five hundred years old." At most, it is middle-aged, and it can serve you for at least two hundred years. ”

"To be old and not die is to be a thief. Lei Ming thought of a sentence from his previous life and sighed. Look at all this that the Temple of Light has done, turning the dwarf into a cunning goblin. If the dwarves are like this, how can they fool them!

He rubbed his brow and waved his hand weakly. "You go down and repair the inner armor first, and tomorrow I'll take you to the territory to choose a place to live. ”

"Master Xie. Barrett saluted gratefully and withdrew.

Lei Ming glanced at the few documents on the table, quickly corrected them, and turned around and returned to the bedroom. After nearly half a month of sailing at sea, I came back to deal with official business, which was not ordinary fatigue.

He spread his hands, and the maid still took off his clothes, revealing his muscular figure. Under their service, they took a bath, lay down on the soft and gorgeous bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

The sun rises and sets, and the sun's rays shine through the windows. Lei Ming rubbed his eyes, sat up, and shook the doorbell on the bed. The door was gently pushed open, and the maid pushed the door in her brand new clothes. Salute and dress well.

Lisa walked in and said softly, "My lord, Patriarch Barrett, I have been waiting for hours, will you receive you?"

"This old guy is really anxious. Lei Ming shook his head with a smile and walked out of the bedroom.

In the living room, Barrett fidgeted, his eyes looking out the door from time to time. Seeing Lei Ming coming, his worried heart was put back in his stomach, and he hurriedly stood up and saluted. "Your Excellency. “

"Patriarch Barrett came so early, let's have breakfast together!" Lei Ming sat on the chair and said with a smile: "Don't be restrained, Viscount Ben promised things, and he will not regret it easily, you can rest assured!"

Barrett was stunned for a moment, pinched his thigh hard, and the pain came, and he was sure that he had heard correctly, and the heart that he had just put down was lifted again. After a few bites, the table was full of delicious food, like jue wax.

Lei Ming shook his head with a smile, picked up a towel and slowly wiped the oil stains on the corner of his mouth, got up and said, "Let's go!"

Outside the Viscount's Palace, the two of them got into the carriage that had been prepared for a long time. Surrounded by ten guardian knights, they headed for the territory. Whenever he went to a more suitable place, Barrett would go down and investigate it in detail.

Looking at the lord's carriage, the territorial officials were terrified. No one is clean under their buttocks, and if the lord investigates carefully, not everyone can afford to be removed alone.

Officials at the bottom could not yet become freedmen, and paying taxes every year alone was a big problem. What's more, now that there is a shortage of food in the territory, the officials will be better at that time, and the civilians can only wait to starve to death or be bloodily suppressed by riots.

As for solving the food problem, no other lord can do it, can this lord do it?

After Thunder Ming was promoted to level 15 Earth Knight, his perception range expanded a lot. The official whispered as if he were talking loudly in his ear. He poked his head out, beckoned, and said, "Call Sails to see me at the Viscount's Palace." ”

"Yes, sir. The guardian knight replied respectfully, flicked his horsewhip, and quickly left.

"My lord, this place still doesn't work. Although the concealment is okay, it is too far away to be convenient for rescue. Barrett said awkwardly.

"This is already the last place in the territory, in that case, you will live in the mansion for the time being, and the place of residence will be found by Viscount Ben. Lei Ming frowned and said.

The carriage kicked up a cloud of dust and drove quickly along the main road towards the Viscount's Palace. The sun gave its last rays, and the carriage stopped at the door of the Viscount's Palace.

Lei Ming got out of the car, said a few words to the servant, and walked quickly into the study. Picked up the file and looked at it absentmindedly for a while, then threw it aside. Leaning back in his chair, he spoke quietly.

Sayles pushed the door open and walked in, "My lord, are you looking for me?"

"Sayles, I'll ask you to check about the pirates nearby, is there any news?" Thunder sat up abruptly and asked solemnly.

Sayles complained bitterly in his heart, how could he find out if he didn't arrive for two days? His heart moved, and he said stubbornly: "My lord, my subordinates are incompetent, and I haven't found any news. However, as the Auston Magister occasionally mentions, almost all the pirates in the nearby seas have gathered on the King's battlefield. The rest has been wiped out. ”

Thunder's index finger unconsciously tapped the table, lost in thought. Now even if you go to other territories to grab it, you can't grab food at all. Now that there is no trace of the pirates, is it true that the territory will run out of food?

He rubbed his painful eyebrows, waved his hand impatiently, and said, "You go out first!"

"Yes, sir. As if he had been pardoned, Sayles wiped the cold sweat on his face and hurriedly bowed and retired. As the lord's strength increased, the oppression increased sharply, and every time he faced him, he felt breathless.

Lei Ming stood up, pacing back and forth in the room irritably, his brow furrowed into a zigzag. The threat of the pirate captain Jarvis, the three-year agreement, was like an invisible mountain pressing on his heart, almost suffocating him.

"My lord, Archduke Catherine replied. Lisa hurried in and handed the letter in her hand.

Lei Ming quickly took it, opened it and looked at it at a glance, and his solemn face eased a lot.

Catherine mentioned in the book that she could take out 200,000 catties of grain, and in view of the last debt thunder and punishment for not replying to the letter, the price was 200 times. Finally, in the letter, he hoped that if he had the gold coins, they would return them immediately.

"Prepare the warship, I want to go to sea. Lei Ming put away the letter and said quickly.

PS: Sorry, it's disconnected. Half a month, five or six times, what else can I say? I'm really sorry for waiting for the book friends, hey!
