At noon, Emir himself went to arrange work for the people, and Ophelia chose to stay in the mansion.

Although the Emir is very inexperienced as the lord of the castle, Ophelia does not know much about this aspect either, so even if she wants to help, she is powerless.

It is better to let the emir do it himself, after all, experience always finds itself out.

With nothing to do, Ophelia wandered through the hallways on the second floor of the mansion when she passed a window when she caught a glimpse of a pigeon flying by.

The mansion also had pigeons, all white pigeons, but the one that flew in was gray, apparently from somewhere else.

Out of curiosity, she took a closer look at the gray dove resting on the edge of the window, and saw that it had something on its foot that looked like a small note rolled into a cylinder.

Ophelia held out her hand, but the pigeon did not run away, so she took out the note and spread it out to see it.

It was written in Junxiu's handwriting: "The master has something to do, and he will return quickly after reading." ”

She knew the handwriting, and there was no doubt that the note was addressed to her.

She didn't know how the pigeons had found their way here, and that such a long journey should have been easily hunted by humans or other creatures.

However, with that guy's character, maybe a thousand pigeons were released to tell her to go back.

Ophelia couldn't help but smile helplessly, since this was the case, she couldn't refuse, so she had to go back early.

She just felt that it was a pity, if she had time, she really wanted to fight the Demon King herself, maybe she could help that guy realize his dream.

But now that the emir has not yet obtained the approval of the Holy Sword, it is difficult for her to get rid of the obstacles of those dark knights alone, and maybe she will not even be able to see the face of the demon king, so she can only think long-term.

So, she put away the note and planned to say goodbye to the emir.

……

In the central square of the town of Blackpool, the emir gathered all the people together.

When they saw that Emir hadn't brought Rena with them this time, they were a little disappointed because they couldn't learn more dishes.

The reason why they were willing to learn cooking techniques yesterday was indeed because of a whim, and more importantly, they couldn't stand the food that was about to spoil.

Although Torena was blessed that they didn't have to endure the unpalatable meals for the time being, after a few meals, they were still dissatisfied, because of the limited level, the dishes they made themselves were too different from what they had eaten before, so they desperately wanted more guidance from Rena.

"Honorable Lord of the City, where is your maid? Why didn't you bring it to teach us how to cook? A middle-aged man raised his hand and asked loudly.

"Well...... this"

Emir didn't expect him to ask this, and he couldn't answer for a while, he wanted to say that Rena was cleaning the whole mansion as Pagris had asked and didn't have time to come, but he was afraid that the people would be upset.

"Hey, what's the matter with you?" A young woman tugged at him, "Don't you see that the lord of the castle is troubled?" The duty of the maid is to serve the lord of the city, and she is not specifically teaching us how to cook. ”

"But we have to eat, how can we do those things, if I want to eat that all the time, it is better to let me die." The middle-aged man shouted loudly.

"yes, yes, just teach us those dishes, I'm tired of eating them."

Next, some people spoke for the middle-aged man one after another, but some people refuted it, saying that it would be good to eat in this situation.

Seeing that they were arguing, the emir was a little at a loss, so he had to laugh awkwardly.

After a while, an old man sensed his predicament and immediately stood up and said.

"Everyone, be quiet, no matter what, let's listen to the arrangement of the city lord first, I believe he will not let us go."

Perhaps it was the old man's prestige among the populace that the others finally quieted down, and they all turned their eyes to the emir.

"Ahem," said the emir, thanking the old man, clearing his throat, "Well, I'm really sorry, Rena is cleaning the mansion, and she's a maid there, so I hope you can understand, but I promise you that Rena will definitely teach you more dishes." ”

The people in front of him nodded their heads, in fact, they didn't mean to make noise, they just wanted a promise, whether they could fulfill it or not, at least it was a placebo for them now.

So, after pacifying the people, the emir decided to tell them about his work.

"Thank you for your understanding, but I have called you here for something more important."

When the people heard this, they all began to talk about it, but it didn't take long for them to quiet down and decide to listen carefully to what the castle lord had to say.

Seeing that they were quiet, the emir continued.

"That's right, there are only us left in Blackpool Town, we have to work together to get through this and then rebuild the town, although there are still a lot of materials left, but if no one produces them, they will run out one day, so I want you to make use of the farms, pastures or various workshops in the town."

When the people heard this, they could not help but look at each other, and they began to discuss it again, and the emir wanted to continue, but felt that he could not interject.

Finally, the middle-aged man just now stood up and said.

"Lord Castle, if I'm not mistaken, you mean to let us go to work, right?"

The people around them stopped talking, and they also wondered if the emir meant that.

Emir heard a hint of questioning, he didn't expect the worst to happen, of course he meant it, but judging by the expressions of the people, they should be very resistant to work.

After all, they were either businessmen or farmers before, and they have always been calling others, and they are the shopkeepers themselves, and they go around chicly, how can they be willing to be called now?

But the emir can't let them, for the sake of the overall situation, he has to be ruthless when he should be ruthless.

"Of course, as I said earlier, the job is to produce more materials to ensure our survival in the future."

After receiving the confirmation, there was an uproar below, most of the people said they couldn't accept it, and only a few were silent, including the woman who spoke for him before and the old man.

Faced with such a situation, Emir did not flinch at all, his face instantly became serious, and he said coldly.

"It seems that most of you have a lot of complaints about my proposal, I can make it clear, if you work for the nobles, then you will definitely be exploited to death in the end, but I am different, what you have worked hard to get is your own, I have no right to take it away, this is already the biggest concession of a city lord, if I say this, and there are still people who disagree, then I can only drive them out of Heitan Town."

When they heard this, they were speechless, they did look down on the emir at first, thinking that he was just a teenager, and even if he became the lord of the city, he would only blindly meet their demands.

But now it seems that the emir really has the courage of a city lord, so more and more people choose to follow his proposal, and even the middle-aged man who spoke loudly and disagrees gave in.

In fact, this is not only the result of the emir's courage, but also the fact that he has a point.

If they become servants of the nobility, they will never have a chance to turn over, not to mention doing the dirtiest and most tiring work every day, and they will not get much money.

They believed that the emir was more reliable than the nobles, as evidenced by the fact that he had his maids teach them how to cook.

The Emir was relieved to see that they had made the right choice, but he noticed that some of them still had disdainful expressions on their faces.

Nor would the emir get used to them, so he added.

"You should all have made a decision, so please stand up if you are not willing to accept my proposal, don't worry, I don't have time to retaliate against you, I just want you to find another job, because people like you are not welcome in Blackpool Town."

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, ten people stood up, all dressed in gorgeous clothes, but after these two days of running, their clothes became dirty, and their hair was messy, only their eyes were still bright, and they seemed to be unusually determined in refusing to work.

At this time, the old man just now hurriedly stood up and said.

"Oh, Lord Castle, don't be like them, they're just dead ducks, and after a while they'll understand your hard work, please don't drive them away."

Hearing that the old men, who were quite prestigious among the people, said this, the emir suddenly relented, and hesitated whether to really drive them away.

But among the ten people, a middle-aged woman stepped forward and said.

"Don't say it, it's impossible for us to change our minds, what kind of city lord is this, I actually want such a noble person as me to do the work of a servant, what is the difference between this kind of city lord and those nobles?"

"Hmph, we just didn't bother to work for those nobles at the beginning, so we would rather die than give in and choose to stay." Another person also said.

"Hehe, it's really blind, yesterday I saw him send someone to teach us to cook, I thought he was a useful city lord, alas, I really didn't expect ......"

Ten people said word by word, and the more the emir listened, the more impatient he became, so he made a bold decision.

"Lilith, come out."

He unleashed the magic in the ring and summoned the dragon, and in an instant, a dazzling red light burst out, and a behemoth appeared in the square.

The people trembled with fear at the sight of the dragon for the first time, and of course, those who did not want to work, and they finally stopped talking.

"Run, run!"

One man suddenly shouted, and the ten men fled out of the city, fearing that the emir would let the dragon burn them to ashes in a fit of rage.

On the other hand, the rest of the people, although they were afraid, did not flee, because they knew very well that the emir would not harm them.

"Very well, you passed my test." The emir expressed his appreciation to the rest, after which he took out a pamphlet.

It was a list of the nobles of the entire town of Blackpool, but now the nobles had left, leaving only the uninhabited estates, large and small, and large farms and ranches.

So, the emir decided to re-seal some nobles and let them run their own lands.

"You should know that there are no nobles in Heitan Town, in order to make your work more energetic, I decided to divide the land left by the nobles to you, but unfortunately the land is limited, and it is not guaranteed that each of you will have it, so I plan to use three days to select, what you have to do is to try your best to produce materials, and finally see who produces more in the specified time, and then I will select ten nobles, as for the rest, I can give you my own land, let you run it yourself, Produce materials and create wealth, after all, my city lord's mansion has always been short of manpower, and it is useless to keep the land, so what do you think? ”

Speaking of this, Lilith on the side didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but unconsciously flapped her wings, and suddenly a gust of wind blew, blowing the people to the ground.

They were so frightened by this movement that they did not dare to refuse the emir's offer, and if they upset him, they might be burned to ashes by the dragon's breath, so they nodded their heads in agreement.

The Emir smiled contentedly, and then he dismissed the people, telling them to come back in three days.

After everyone had left, Emile suddenly heard someone clapping his hands behind him, and he turned around to find Ophelia looking at him with a smile.

"That's right, it does have the appearance of a city lord."

"Why, you've won the prize," said the emir embarrassedly, "I'm still tender as the lord of the city, but I'm still very good at coercion and temptation." ”

"Haha, isn't that what a qualified city lord does? It's just that this is not called coercion and temptation, but good temptation. ”

"That's right." The emir nodded.

"Alas," Ophelia sighed coldly, and then said, "Amir, what an interesting man, I would have liked to stay with you a little longer." ”

Emir thought to himself, is this a confession to him? However, he cares more about the meaning of this sentence.

"What do you mean? Are you leaving? ”

"Hehe, I really can't hide it from you, indeed, I just received a letter, and my master is calling me back."

"Master?" The emir wondered.

"Well, knights have masters, but don't think about it, it's not that kind of ......"

"What's going on?" The emir was puzzled.

"Ahem," Ophelia said with an awkward cough, "nothing, in short, to the knight, the master's words are orders, so I had to leave early." ”

"But what about the more than 300 villagers...... I can't handle it alone. Emile couldn't help but voice his troubles.

There are no soldiers in Heitan Town now, and he can't take those villagers over alone, and if he encounters monsters on the road, even if he has Lilith's help and the holy sword in hand, he can't take care of everyone.

And once Ophelia leaves, the town is at risk of being attacked by the Dark Knight, and he simply can't handle it then.

"Well, that's right." Ophelia sighed, she also felt uneasy.

Just as they were both in distress, Emir saw a figure coming from the city gate, and because there was no one to defend the city, he subconsciously thought it was a monster.

However, as the figure approached, he finally realized that it was a human maiden, and that it was a magician.

Because she was holding something like a wand in her right hand, if it was a demon wisdom species, she definitely didn't need a wand.
