Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Dimensional Stone, yes, yes

Bair ran out of the cellar and took the runes, and the walls returned to their original state.

He was terrified that such a large dimensional stone was incomparably rich, powerful, and unpredictable mutation and grotesque.

Only the terrifying soldiers and disgusting mages of the Chaos Gods would be obsessed with it.

The existence of the dimension stone will lead to irreversible mutations in nearby organisms, and direct consumption will lead to addiction and genetic mutations...

It's just a monster thing like nuclear radiation.

In the Empire, transporting a finger-sized dimension stone is enough to get you to the gallows, and in Bretonnia it is also forbidden by countless lords.

Baier immediately ran out of the cellar and suddenly saw the tea in his hand...

The duke will not live more than five years...

This tea is only available to the duke...

A sentence flashed through his mind, and Bair let go for a moment, spilling the clear and delicious well water all over the ground.

It's poison, isn't it?!

Soon he calmed down and went back to his bedroom to think about the situation.

The radiation of the dimension stone seems to be restrained by those strange devices, otherwise the butler servants in this castle should also die mutantly, not just the duke who only drinks water.

He speculated that the so-called well water was supposed to be the coolant of the stabilizing equipment, so it carried some radiation.

Then the castle should be safe, but why does this rune open the cellar?

Bair guessed that the dimension stone was powerful for the minions of Chaos, the barbarians of the north.

And I heard from the dwarves that in the current confrontation situation of the Eight Peaks Mountain, if there are so many Yuan Stones, I am afraid it will be enough for Skarsnik to carry out a big plan.

And that Skarsnik got the news that there are a large number of dimensional stones under Bretonnia, and the runes in his hands may also be the creation of related things...

But what kind of civilization can make such a device?

It looks like the level of technology is not low, but it is not dwarven style...

In short, after some analysis, Baier immediately decided one thing, to bury this large dimensional stone in the ground forever, and never let anyone else know.

No matter who such a thing falls into, it is a threat to yourself, and although you can't use it, you don't want others to use it!

Baier walked out of the cellar, hid the runes in the cellar, and locked the door to the cellar.

Then he told Ellie about the poison in the well water in this castle, and although he concealed the dimensional stone, Ellie trusted Bayer very much.

As for the others, they were ingrained in the belief that the water from the well belonged to the Duke of Tegon, and that it was generally only tasted by the Duke who gave it to him.

Even so, Bair was hairy in his heart, because maybe the city would attract attacks from Greenskins or other races that day.

Skarsnik's psychological impact on Bayer is very large.

As for the current impossibility of expanding the army, Baier first ordered Einhard to bring his travel expenses to find chivalrous knights who were willing to get the territory, and then asked those knights if they would like to join Long Lake and become a lord.

Then go to Sir Flender and ask him to start looking for someone to repair the walls of the village in the realm.

Eventually, Bair himself found many workers in the city and began to raise and strengthen the walls.

Later, it was announced that all the people in the Changhu Territory, with young adults aged 16-26 in their families, could come to the Territory and conduct militarized training with the soldiers of the Poison Blade Force.

And there will be no forced enlistment, only to improve the military literacy of the residents in the territory.

As a reward for training, a person can be provided with funds of two silver coins a month, and those with excellent qualifications can leave the status of peasants and become an acolyte.

In this way, the huge sum of 3,000 gold coins left was spent.

The next day the merchants and the consuls began to report on their situation, and the merchants demanded lower tariffs or sent soldiers to clear the surrounding forests of the beastmen.

The consul said that this year's income is not high, the peasants will not be able to eat, and the proportion of the 19 tax should be reduced.

Although most lords don't really collect that much of this thing, generally speaking, they will only collect 5-7 percent, and a large part of the harvest will be realized by farmers in other ways to avoid the 19 tax.

And today there is also a strange case, a farmer walking on the street was suddenly crushed to death by a straw rake, and the consul judged it to be an accident and reported it to Beyer.

In addition to supervising the daily maintenance of the city walls, he also sent 100 cutting-edge soldiers to train the peasants in small groups.

The training boom is good, after all, you can get two silver coins for 6 hours of training a day, which is still the Duke's request, and it is very decent for a peasant.

The situation of clearing the beastmen went more smoothly, and the knights of the Duke of Long Lake were not suitable to enter the forest to fight, but the infantry regiment of Bair was simply the nemesis of the beastmen.

In just one week, the road was very safe, and everyone was impressed by the soldiers of Beyer.

During this time, Bayer demanded a retrial of the farmer who died suddenly, but when Bayer arrived at the scene of the crime, he found that the farmers were surprisingly unanimous.

If it weren't for Bayer's knowledge to ask questions separately and put pressure on them, the peasants who were not very psychologically good would have made mistakes in their oral accounts, and then corrected them according to their mistakes so that they could tell the truth.

He probably couldn't even know that this was actually a rare love killing.

The villager fell in love with someone else's wife, and refused to give up even after being admonished by the village court headed by the village chief.

In the end, he was killed by someone else's wife's original partner with a pitchfork.

This incident was accidentally reported so as not to disturb the lord, and such a situation seemed to be very common in Bretonnia, and in the eyes of most nobles, the peasants were fools who could fall to their deaths on the road.

Bair found clerks and consuls to code up a crude law for the peasants overnight, and dismantled their private courts, treating them as illegal.

Of course, the final interpretation of everything still belongs to the Duke.

And the peasant who killed the murder was also forcibly dragged by Baier to build the city wall for a month as punishment.

Einhard also returned to Long Lake at the end of the month, bringing with him twenty chivalrous knights, while Baier arranged a jousting and written test, with the best five being the lords of the land.

Others can serve under Bair as they see fit.

In the end, 8 knights remained in Long Lake, adding a part of their living force.

By the end of the month, maintenance of the walls has come to an end, and it is expected that it should be barely completed by the night of witchcraft.

And one of the most important festivals in Bretonnia also comes to this land before the end of autumn.

Grail Day, at first, this holiday was in honor of the Holy Grail. Today, it's a wine carnival.

On the day when farming stopped, people were drunk with barrels in their arms, singing all kinds of songs and praising the greatness of the knights.

Bair also had a rare rest, looking at the thriving territory in his bedroom.

Suddenly, a pair of white arms stopped his neck, and he said in a gentle voice.

"That, haven't been with me this month..."

The beautiful woman whispered softly in his ear.

Although Bayer was tired at the moment, he was happy, and he only felt that his whole body was soft and numb.

But he didn't know that what this world came for the dimension stone was not just green-skinned orcs.
