Volume IV Reign of Chaos 11 Masonry Brotherhood

Edwin really made his fortune when he met the Duke of Leskova.

Duke Greg Leskova's father was Minister of the Interior during the reign of King Baratheon, and by the time of King Lynes the elder Duke of Leskova had been diluted for the most part. Although the family is being pushed out of the center of power, Greg Leskova has taken over from his father as the new duke, and a series of actions have allowed the family to regain control of Stormwind and the entire kingdom.

And this requires a group of skilled craftsmen and nimble minds to work for him. Edwin stood out from the crowd.

In other people's words, he was not a talkative man, but he always got to the point, and his brain was so good that the Duke assigned him more and more construction tasks.

In many people's evaluation of him, he is not the most capable and hardworking, but he is the most problem-solving. Whether it is a technical problem in the project or a contradiction between the various aspects that arise.

And I really became his shadow.

I gradually gave up carving, building, and creating with my own hands, and more to help him do things that he could or couldn't do.

Originally, he didn't allow me to touch the things that couldn't be put on the table, but there were always some problems that were difficult to solve and the problem of lack of manpower. But when I did those things, I found it more interesting and better than carving walls.

Once you've found something that makes you happy and you're really good at it, it feels like some women find out how easy it is to be a and so fast, so much, and there's no going back. How can this be summed up in a cool way?

Why don't you want to do it? Isn't that farting!

In order to monopolize the nation's projects larger and faster, the Masonry Brotherhood was formed.

This organization was originally a stonemason club, where some stonemason leaders who knew each other got together for entertainment and even exchanged information and work.

However, Edwin, who was a core member of the club, proposed a reorganization when necessary, and with the support of certain nobles, he soon transformed the organization into the Masonry Brotherhood, whose initial slogan was to fight for the rights and treatment of stonemasons and provide shelter and assistance to stonemasons throughout the country.

At first, it was indeed done, all those who joined did not need to pay membership fees, and once they joined, they would be treated much higher than before, but it was not that anyone who wanted to join would join, and there was also an extremely strict review and guarantee process.

Solidarity and fraternity, helping each other, joining and benefiting more and more people from the fraternity, they will also feel deep pride in being a member of the masonry fraternity.

The organization grew so rapidly and secretly that the king could not direct his men to touch the matter when he assigned his men to work on them.

After the end of the Troll War, although there was no mess in Stormwind, the fortifications of Stormwind needed to be reinforced, but after the war, countless villages and towns around the Elwyn Forest were also very badly destroyed, which also required a lot of money, so the repair of Stormwind was put down. It wasn't until King Lane ruled for many years that he finally had enough taxes to support the projects. When the matter was brought up again, it became the heyday of the Masonry Brotherhood.

We carried out the first large-scale renovation of Stormwind City after the Troll War, and we also did the large-scale construction of North County, including the surrounding water conservancy facilities and mines, including fortresses and military camps.

Leaving aside how much Duke Leskova's position in the core center of power has risen for the time being, his pockets are bulging. And once you have money, a lot of things are easy to do. After all, most officers and officials were more loyal to money than to the king.

I know that the money that came from the Duke's pocket to the pockets of the dignitaries came from Edwin's pocket.

I know Edwin has changed, but I understand him, and even though I don't like him at times, I'm still not far away from him and help him with whatever he needs when he needs me.

It stands to reason that Edwin would definitely be rich, but he has always dressed quite modestly. He lived in the slums, and he never wore fancy clothes, but basically wore the same coarse linen clothes as the stonemasons, and the better places than the poor people here were only a little cleaner than their clothes, and there were not so many patches. I was so told to eat something good, but he never listened. The only thing he had in his house now was the black silk gown that he wore only to banquets.

I said that he didn't have to be so serious about his show, but he said that once people are full, they are easy to slack off, and once they have eaten well, they are easy to get carried away, and those who have eaten well are not far from death.

I scoffed at it.

Although all the members of the upper echelons of the fraternity are also trying their best to maintain their original lives, since it is a show, there will definitely be times when they will be ruined.

I know of a few who have been hanged for embezzlement. Despite some of the show, corruption has not gone away, and the more remote it is, the more it happens.

But someone needs to carry the black pot, although there is not a lot of money, but every time someone needs to be caught to ensure internal unity and stability.

It was also the first time I had taken a person's life with my own hands. The man's tongue had been discarded, he could not speak, he could only whimper, and he was scared to pee his pants after being put on his head. As the pedals fell, several sacks tied to his feet pulled his body straight.

He struggled slightly and then stopped moving. The crowd was outraged, but everyone was satisfied with the execution.

When I took the man off the rope, I found that his neck was limp and collapsed, and I touched it and found that his cervical vertebrae were broken. I wasn't scared at the time, but I had nightmares that night. It was also the first time I had a nightmare about death.

Truth be told, while I've helped Edwin with a lot of things, I don't have a single human life on my hands other than executing those people. It's not that I'm merciful, it's that Edwin sternly warns me not to kill anyone.

At first I didn't care, but I'm not stupid. Teaching people is not a big problem, but once a person is killed, it is easy for someone to write it down and make a big fuss about it at some point in the future.

After a long period of time, I learned a lot of things, saw more things, and met many people with him who would not have been able to meet at all.

One of them is her...... The woman I will miss to this day.
