There are a lot of military affairs to be dealt with in the barracks outside the city, which makes Char very speechless, and the guys under his command have joined the "wedding preparation committee" one by one, Char really doubts that those guys are deliberately using this excuse to be passive and lazy.

In the barracks, he checked the atlas of the land that had recently been counted, and the roster of the land that had been sealed, and then signed the land statistics document sent by the local officials of Siltan County.

The work of these cases made Char very helpless. He's not good at it at all, and he doesn't like it.

After watching it for a long time, Char suddenly patted his head.

I'm not good at this, but there are people around me who are good at it.

Soon, he summoned his chief guard and sent someone to ask for Sophie.

Sophie also arrived in Denzel City with the brigade, and temporarily settled in the city to live, and the place where she lived was very close to Queen Finney's base, and I heard that after she arrived in Denzel City, she had already visited the Queen in private, after all, she was a disciple of Kavihir, and she probably knew Daphany before.

Sophie was soon invited by the chief of the guard, and when she came to the barracks, the young girl had her sleeves rolled up, a little sweat on her forehead, and her face and piggyback were stained with some white powder, which seemed to be flour.

"What's the matter? Sophie's expression was flat: "I'm doing it at home."

Dinner.

"Dinner?" Char was a little confused.

"Yes, I'm getting ready to bake my own bread. Sophie said lightly.

Char immediately realized that she seemed to be missing something: after Sophie followed her to Denzel City, she had not had much time to settle this girl, she lived alone, and even the servants around her were very scarce, and she thought that she would cook by herself every day. Bar?

"Starting today, send two maids from my house to take care of Sophie, and send a team of guards to keep Sophie safe, and just follow her instructions. From now on, she will be my chief of staff. ”

Char reiterated the title of "Chief of Staff", but in fact even he blushed a little. Because this so-called chief of staff is simply a bare-bones commander.

Sophie was noncommittal about Char's arrangement, but Char looked a little embarrassed: "From today onwards, your daily life and diet will be taken care of, as my chief of staff, you have the right to look through these sent documents and help me deal with them, I give you the power to decide." You just need to report back to me every day. Furthermore...... Is your pay......"

Char thought for a moment, "Do you have any requirements?"

"I'm a lonely girl, and it's useless to ask for so much money. Sophie's tone was very flat: "It's okay to have food and clothing, but I have some requirements, I don't like to live in the barracks, I live in the city, you give me a carriage, it must be big enough, every day to transport me from the city to and from the barracks outside the city, I also need your warrant, I can go in and out of the city at will, day and night." And also...... Char ● I need you to make a commitment to 10 7 bsp;" Promise?" Char looked at the girl in front of her suspiciously.

Sophie sighed: "Since ancient times, you must promise me, no matter what I say to you, even if it makes you angry and makes you hate me, you will never kill me because of my words."

Char smiled, he thought this kind of request was ridiculous: "Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"Not now, ...... in the future Hardly. Sophie's tone was serious: "Anyone, sitting in a high position for a long time, will change their mentality." Since ancient times, emperors have killed many loyal ministers, and they are not necessarily mediocre emperors, and wise emperors will also kill people because of dissatisfaction. ”

Char couldn't help but protest: "Hey, I'm not the emperor" Sophie had already retired, walked to the door, and smiled lightly: "We'll see." ”

Directly appointed the chief of staff, Char threw these case documents to this young girl one by one, he didn't feel irresponsible at all, anyway, the land instead of the reward was also from Sophie's idea, and she couldn't have done better.

After getting rid of one of these biggest burdens, our general shamelessly had a bad idea.

"It's been a long time since I've visited our dear dwarven brothers, and I need to pay them a visit

That's good.

Char called "dear dwarven brothers" who had been living outside of Denzel for several months.

The four hundred dwarves who came to send congratulatory gifts last time were all arranged to live in a separate military camp outside the city, and the gifts sent by these dwarves have not been officially taken over by Char until now, and the dwarves are very stubborn, and they have always had to see Merlin in person.

The leader of these four hundred dwarves, the guy named Rock, inherited the glorious tradition of dwarven stubbornness.

In his words, "Our dwarven King Greybeard has ordered me to celebrate the General's wedding, so we cannot go back until the General's marriage is completed." ”

Therefore, a hundred dwarves lived here with peace of mind.

I have to say that although dwarves do not have a good relationship with humans, dwarves are very fond of people

class of foods.

Compared with dwarves, human food is more elaborate and tasty, and soft bread and meat with various sauces cannot be made by dwarves.

It's really a wonderful thing.

Dwarves are skilled in metal smelting, they can craft the finest weapons and equipment, and they can tell the difference between sweet ketchup and honey sauce at a glance.

Although Char has also experienced wars here, the food is not abundant, and even a little rudimentary, "but for the dwarves, it is already a first-class delicacy

Besides, staying here as a guest, there is no need to work every day, and there are people who bring exquisite food to enjoy The hundred dwarves are not in a hurry to go home at all.

There are even some dwarves who wish that the general had better never get married, so it will be better to drag it out for ten or eight years

Dwarves live much longer than humans anyway. An ordinary dwarf can live for more than two hundred years. They have time to splurge.

Meal.

When Char arrived at the dwarven station, the dwarves had just eaten. These dwarves eat five meals a day: breakfast, lunch, lunch, dinner, and the night root to replenish the consumption of their strong and majestic bodies. Char's arrival was welcomed by the dwarves.

At least the guy named Rock, after a few months of eating and drinking Char for nothing, finally gave Char some good looks.

"Honorable General, welcome, we are just having dinner, do you want to join us?"

The rock seemed very enthusiastic, but Char secretly pouted: Damn, it's all Lao Tzu's food, used to invite Lao Tzu to eat, this favor is really cheap

However, he also squeezed out a warm smile on his face: "No, no, no, I have already eaten, please enjoy me, I just stopped by to see my dwarf brothers, because of the delay of my wedding, you have delayed too much time here, which really makes me a little embarrassed as a master." ”

The rock had already wiped his mouth and laughed loudly: "You're welcome, respected Zan Jun, you are the most hospitable host, we have a very pleasant time here." ”

Lao Tzu is not happy at all, the food of a hundred dwarves is worth 2,000 people)

"I'm here today because I want to talk to you about something. Char laughed silently.

Rock didn't know where to bring a cup of hot water and put it in front of Char, then sat down opposite Char, took out a cow bone comb from his arms, and combed his long beard with heart.

He combed very carefully and carefully.

This is also something that Char finds strange: these dwarves can go ten days without bathing, but they spend at least an hour grooming their beards every day. Dwarves cherish their beards in a way that no other race can imagine.

The best way to provoke a dwarf is to show contempt for his beard, and the other person will be furious

Rock's beard, which could be dragged up to his toes when standing, was long and combed into two beautiful knots, and there were some dense braids on the side. This guy patiently combed through the numbers one by one, listening to Char's words, this seemingly thick dwarf showed a cunning look that did not match his appearance.

"Your Excellency, you are a hospitable host, and the dwarves are willing to be your friends. But I must make it clear that when we came, the great King Greybeard gave us the task of giving gifts. If you're trying to craft weapons for your army, we're sorry, but we can't contribute our craft to any other race until we have orders from the Graybeard King.

Damn it. Char scolded in his heart.

If you don't build me weapons, what are you doing with your bunched belly?

Dwarves can't craft weapons, so what's the value?

didn't expect to block the other party with a word, Char was a little unwilling: "But, anyway, you are idle here, I just need to build a little weapon to arm my personal guards."

"All I can say is sorry. The rock shook his head: "We can't build weapons for your army. But...... We dwarves have other skills, we are good at digging holes and digging earth, and if you want to do something, we are willing to give you some effort. ”

Digging?

Char Khan paused for a moment and thought, "What does Lao Tzu want you to dig up the soil for?" Dig ten, did the big pit bury you all?

Char was a little disappointed, and her expression couldn't help but look ugly.

After all, Rock was still a simple and faithful dwarf, and he hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Although the Graybeard King has an order, we are not allowed to build weapons for the human army...... However, you are our friend, although we cannot craft weapons for your army. But as friends, dwarves make a thing or two for their friends in private, which is still in line with our tradition. ”

"Oh?" Char's eyes lit up, but then they dimmed, "I can only give one."

Do you build it?"

"Yes, dwarves can only build things for their true friends. "The rock says R's chopping nails

Truncated iron.

Char stood up, took two steps back and forth, and suddenly patted his thigh and smiled, "Okay." Then it's decided, I'll ask you to help me build some equipment for my personal use, it's not too much to ask."

"Absolutely, we can do it at any time. ”

Char laughed, and then said loudly: "Okay, I need ten sets of cavalry heavy armor, ten sets of samurai infantry heavy armor, and ten sets of light armor......"

"Wait for ten sets?" Rock quickly called Char: "You can't have misunderstood me

What do I mean? I mean I can only give you a personal ......."

"It's for me alone. Char Zhengse, righteous and stern, said loudly: "You may not know, I am already a noble duke of the Byzantine Empire, do you understand?" In the ranks of the nobility of the empire, in addition to the emperor, in addition to the prince, the duke is the largest and most noble nobleman with my status, a duke's equipment, must have many sets of as a noble nobleman with a family education, status, self-cultivation, and tradition, our equipment must be changed to wear, we wear a set on the first day of each month, the second is a set, the third is the day to worship the gods, the white number must be changed to the day we worship our ancestors, the fifth number must be worn black is the day when I meet my subordinates and retainers, and the sixth number must be worn red is the day to worship the gods――

"Wait, wait, you said you've already worshipped the gods once. "The rock is loud and resistant

Discuss.

"I believe in two religions at the same time, we are a civilized country, and our laws give us

We have the right to freedom of religion"

The rock felt that his poor brain was not enough.

As a traditional dwarf, he didn't know much about humans, and he hadn't dealt with any humans before, let alone traveled in the human world.

The dwarf groaned, "God, who believe in two religions? Worship two different gods at the same time? So, how can you humans have such a law? But what if your two religions are at odds with each other?"

Char smiled strangely: "Don't you know that we humans have something called a 'council)? If there is a disagreement, everyone should have a good quarrel in the council and persuade each other to debate." ”

"Incredible, incredible," the rock shouted.

"Hmm...... Well, in addition to armor, I need ten sets of riding spears, ten sets of sabers, ten sets of two-handed broadswords, ten sets of prism hammers, ten sets of riding shields, ten sets of infantry shields...

Seeing that the rock was still protesting, Char had already said loudly with a straight face: "I am a noble nobleman, in the empire, only the emperor and prince are bigger than me, with such a noble status as me, do you think that I want to use only one weapon like a beggar......?

"Well, that's a waste," Rock glared at 7 eyeballs.

"This is the tradition of our aristocracy, please respect the tradition of our aristocracy," Char said

Iron statement.

"Really...... Can you throw things away after a few uses? It's a waste...... What a waste of one by one r one by one"

Char shook his head: "The life of a nobleman is like this, what is thrown away, it is thrown away anyway."

Rock suddenly rolled his eyes and looked at Char twice: "So...... I've seen you twice...... The last time you wore this robe, it was exactly the same...... Are you going to throw it away?"

"Of course," Char nodded with a forced smile.

"Since you throw it away...... Why don't you give it to me...... The garment felt like a human being

Precious silk, ah......"

Rock couldn't help but rub his dirty hand twice on the corner of Char's clothes.

"Here you go," Char took off the precious silk robe and threw it in

Rock.

Rock eyebrows smiled, and then looked at the belt around Char's waist: "Oh, this belt is made of the skin of a lion beast, right? I see how many times have you worn it......

"Here you go" Char also took it off directly. "And the ring on your finger, it seems to be a fine crystal..."Char quickly picked it up and carried it. "Remains 111111"

Seeing that this hateful dwarf was going to continue, Char hurriedly stopped him: "If you keep talking, I'm going to go out naked." ”

The rock gave up, holding Char's fine silk robe, the high-grade lion skin belt, and the precious crystal ring, and smiled.

"You see, these are our traditions. Char sighed, "Now, my dear dwarven brother, can you promise to build me some personal equipment?"

Rock's answer caused Char to vomit blood on the spot

This seemingly honest man shook his head slowly but firmly with an honest smile, and said, "My lord...... Maybe I'm not smart, but I'm not a fool.

Damn, Char was tricked by this honest man and ate you, and left in a rage. rushed back to the house in one go, and before he even had time to put on his clothes, he went straight to the backyard.

The person who arranged it in the backyard was still staring there, and Char said loudly, "Is Merlin out?"

"......No," replied the servant, heartily.

Char rushed directly to the door, opened his throat and yelled loudly: "Hey, your son is being bullied, you can't get out"

After film 3.1, Merlin's impatient voice came from inside: "What's the matter?" "The dwarf bullied me, and he didn't admit what he promised me" Char naturally refused to say that he was cheated by the honest dwarf.

Merlin's voice came from inside again: "The dwarves are bullying you, how can they have the audacity?"

"That's it anyway, can you help?"

After a while, Merlin's words came from within: "Go and tell the dwarves, if they do it while you mess around, I'll go and turn that graybeard into a frog for another year."

Char immediately laughed. But then, uh-huh, wait, Merlin was talking about "again" to turn Greybeard into a frog. Why do you say "again"? Is she to blame......

But there was no need to think about these things carefully, Xia Yaxiong rushed back to the dwarf station outside the city in a high-spirited manner, this time he didn't bother to pretend to be a hospitable and warm host, and directly brought the rock in front of him.

"Merlin said that if you don't please me, your Greybeard King will become a frog again. The choice is yours."

The wrinkles on Rock's face immediately tangled into a ball, and after a long time, he glanced at Char deeply.

"If you hate it, go make a list.''

Char, who left the dwarf station, suddenly had a feeling of sudden realization.

Damn, no wonder so many people envy the second generation of officials, the second generation of gambling is rich and has a strong mother, it's really cool

Hmph, don't you want a list of rocks?

"Come on, go and bring me the equipment brochure drawn up by our army's logistics department this year. ”
