Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Lord's Study.

Rosen sat on the thick leather chair, crossed Erlang's legs, drinking fragrant tea, and looking at the government documents suspended in front of him.

As a lord, you have a high status, enjoy the best resources of your territory, and hold the greatest power.

Everyone respects and yearns for it.

But the word yearning is similar to envy, jealousy, and covetousness, but to a different degree.

When a lord is shrewd and strong, he will naturally be served loyally by his subordinates, but if the slightest weakness is revealed, there will immediately be opportunists who are good at drilling camps to take advantage of the loopholes.

Therefore, the lord can delegate power, be merciful where it should be kind, be generous when it should be generous, and be a little confused when it should be confused.

But the eyes must be kept open all the time.

Nowadays, the crescent moon is in a period of rapid development, and all kinds of government documents are piled up like a hill.

Funds approval, job promotions, land use, etc., all require the lord's signature for final confirmation.

If you really have to pay close attention to each of them, it will take up a lot of time.

Fortunately, Lawson still has a desktop!

He compiled a simple government software to review the documents on his behalf.

Although the eyes are open, the brain does not turn much, and it is all dependent on the core of the operation to work.

'Brush Brush Brush Brush~'

Documents are quickly swept in front of you, and the computing core reviews them at great speed.

'Drip ~ found that there was a deviation in the content of the file. ’

Rosen took a look and saw that it was a labor payroll statement.

It's okay to look at it alone, but after comparing multiple documents, there is a little problem.

He found that the calculation of the wages of the workers was 20 kroons more.

After checking the details a little, he understood that it was the overseer below who was picking up oil and water.

Thinking about the salary approval process, he knew that the 20 crowns were not divided by one person, but by a group of people.

The total amount of the salary is 1,600 crowns, and 20 crowns is not much error, and when the water is clear, there are no fish, and Rosen did not see it, and with a stroke of his pen, he filled in his signature at the end.

If the other party knows to be restrained, a little greedy, but does things well, he doesn't care.

If you can't hold it anymore, then fatten it and slaughter it again, which can not only get back all the money, but also collect some fame.

Back to business.

He continued to review the documents.

Normally, he would spend an hour in his study, finishing the previous day's papers.

After that, it was basically all about magic.

Unless there is an emergency in the realm, Harrick will not bother him.

The arithmetic core is extremely efficient, and the main effort that Lawson expends is on the hands of the mage.

In a few moments, he had all the paperwork done.

After looking at the time, less than half an hour had passed, and after thinking about it, I decided to stay for an hour before leaving.

So he reclined on a thick leather chair and savored the unique fragrant tea imported from Baisha City, the southernmost part of the eastern border.

In other words, Baisha City is really a good place, not to mention the coastal city, it is still a trade transit point with the Moon Elves.

Let's just say that this tea may be kneaded by a gentle and beautiful moon elf tea lady.

As he was relaxing, there was a knock on the door, and Harrick's voice was heard outside the door.

"Lord, there is a high-ranking samurai who has applied for the position of sergeant major of the hundred, claiming to be Anglo from Whitehorse Town, I am a little unsure."

Rosen's heart moved, and he immediately recalled the experience of Whitehorse, and then found the image of the warrior Anglo.

He is a bear-tall warrior with unique water powers.

He remembered that the last time they met, the other party was a mid-level peak samurai, and now he called himself a high-level samurai, indicating that the other party had a breakthrough in strength.

Considering that the other party seems to be less than 30 years old, it shows that he has outstanding martial arts talent.

Looking back, he could already guess why Anglo had defected to him, and nine times out of ten, he was ostracized by the locals in Whitehorse.

Rosen had a good impression of this samurai, so he said, "Let him come over." ”

Harrick immediately reminded: "He looks down, covered in sweat, and I'm afraid he will run into the lord." ”

Rosen didn't care: "It's okay. ”

When he was a shepherd, he smelled everything, but he was not as delicate as a real nobleman.

After a while, there was another knock on the door, and a thick voice came in: "Baron, Warrior Anglo salutes you. ”

"Come in and talk."

The door was pushed open, and a tall figure walked in, as a strong smell of male sweat rushed into the room.

Rosen looked at the other party carefully, dressed in shabby leather armor that had been cleaned up simply, with hair that had been groomed but still greasy and messy, and his body was a little thinner than when they last met, but he had an air of fierceness and bravery.

is an iron man, but it can also be seen that the other party's life has not been very good recently.

During this time, Anglo also took a quick look at Lawson, and after a glance, he lowered his gaze, and was surprised in his heart: "He is much taller than the last time we met." ”

The last time I saw it, it was still a little immature, but now when I look at it, it gives people a strong oppressive force of superiors.

The only thing that hasn't changed is probably the eyes, which are calm and clear at first glance, but when you think about it, they are deep and dark, so that people dare not look at them.

On the other side, Rosen looked at the respectful high-ranking warrior in front of him and said with a smile: "Anglo, I'm glad that you can come to me." ”

Seeing that the other party remembered him, Anglo was overjoyed, and immediately made up his mind to fight to the end in Crescent Town.

Since he was going to do a good job, he said, "Lord, I have to tell you more about my past. ”

"Say it, I'll listen."

So, Anglo told his past experiences and thoughts, starting from his hometown of White Sands City and ending with his escape from White Horse Town.

At the end, he sighed, and his face was full of loneliness,

"Lord, when I was young, I had a fiery temper and often caused trouble, but later my temper was reined in, but I was loyal to a demon. There is a martial art that is not bad, but it is mixed into the current appearance. ”

As he spoke, Rosen not only listened carefully, but also looked carefully, and it was not enough to read it once, but also entered the adventure journal to observe and figure it out carefully.

In the end, Anglo did not lie, and perhaps embellished his image in some details, but this is an instinct that no one can avoid.

Referring to the previous performance of fighting side by side in Hakuba, it can be concluded that this is a trustworthy samurai.

As long as you give generous treatment, you can be entrusted with important tasks.

Rosen is currently short of capable subordinates, and with such a strongman coming to take refuge, it is naturally very welcome.

As for the trouble Anglo caused, it didn't seem to him at all.

Chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, it has been the same since ancient times, if you don't have a little blood in your heart, you can't practice outstanding martial arts.

In the future, if a sufferer really comes to the door, he will compensate him for a sum of money.

Thinking so, he said in a gentle tone: "Mortals make mistakes, but what is valuable is that they can change their mistakes. ”

"It just so happens that there is a vacancy in the Crescent Legion for 40 crowns per month, if you are interested, come to me as a deputy commander."

The commander of the legion is currently Knight Hamill, who was specially asked by Rosen to Chapole and is his absolute confidant.

The other deputy commander was given to Watson, who had just been promoted to the top rank.

The remaining one is given to Anglo, a foreigner with no roots, not only because he has this ability, but also as a statement of kindness to the new lords, indicating that the lords will treat the old and new lords equally.

Anglo was shocked, and then ecstatic in his heart, for it had greatly exceeded his expectations.

The monthly salary of 40 crowns is five times higher than his salary in Whitehorse, not to mention the high position of a thousand-strong deputy commander, which is like a step to the sky.

He knelt on the ground with a 'poof': "Anglo is willing to serve the lord!" ”

"Good."

Rosen was also very happy, so he continued: "You can be regarded as having come to Crescent Town from other places, and according to my newly issued decree, I will help the new people settle down. ”

"Since you are the deputy corps commander, you naturally have to have the dignity of the deputy corps commander in order to better control your subordinates."

As he spoke, he quickly wrote a paperwork, but it was a letter of appointment from the deputy legion.

Then he got up and took out a copy of the title deed from the file cabinet in the study, a stub filled with 500 crowns.

"A stone house with a courtyard at No. 30 Crescent 2nd Street, plus a 500 kroner settlement fee."

"Pack up yourself, buy a new leather armor, buy a good horse, and then take the letter of appointment, go to the barracks north of the town, and report to the commander of the legion, Knight Hamill."

All the papers were packed into a leather bag and slowly floated into Anglo's hands.

Anglo found that his hands were shaking, and after ten years of wandering, he finally settled down.

He immediately swore: "Lord, I will serve you to the death!" ”

What Rosen wanted was his words, and he said gently, "I believe in you." ”

"After settling down, I will marry a beautiful girl from the highlands, have a few children, and in the future, I will make contributions on the battlefield, get glory, and have my own family."

"Yes, my lord."

"Then go ahead."

Anglo suppressed the excitement of rushing to his new home, saluted Rosen respectfully again, and then turned to leave.

As soon as he took a step, a very tall woman suddenly appeared at the door of the room, it was the apprentice Ann Vinia.

As soon as Rosen saw her, his heart moved, and he immediately said, "Anglo, you're from White Sands City, right?" ”

"Yes."

"This Miss Anvinia is also from White Sands, so maybe you know each other."

As he spoke, Rosen stared at Anvinia tightly, and sure enough, he noticed that the apprentice's face changed slightly, which was a little unnatural.

"Hey~ I'll just say it's wrong, this girl really lied to me."

When Anglo heard this, he also felt that it was a coincidence, and he was a little happy to meet his fellow countrymen, so he looked at Anvinia.

"That's a coincidence, I used to live in the dock area of Baisha City, what about you?"

Anvinia's face became more and more unnatural, and she laughed dryly: "Uh~ I'm also in the dock area." ”

As soon as she spoke, Anglo's brows furrowed: "Miss, your accent doesn't sound like a native of White Sands City?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Anvinia's expression changed even more.

Rosen said, "Anglo, she's a half-elf, and her accent is definitely different from that of the natives of White Sands City. ”

Anglo was even stranger.

"Half-elf? I grew up in the docklands and lived there for over 20 years. I've heard of half-elves, but I don't think I've heard of anyone named Anvinia. ”

Anvinia pursed her lips and did not speak, only looking at Lawson with a pleading gaze.

Rosen knew that she had something to say to herself, so he said, "Anglo, I know about this, you can go to the barracks and report it." ”

Angrew naturally knew that he should not be nosy, and bowed to Rosen again, turned his head and left the study.

As soon as he was gone, the door to his study shut.

Lawson picked up the Mana Torrent Staff, first set up a silent barrier, and then tapped the palm of his left hand with the staff, squinting at Avinia.

"My apprentice, lying is not a virtue."
