The city hall in Black Rock City has a total of three floors, in addition to the reception area on the first floor and the office area on the second floor, there is a lounge dedicated to government officials on the third floor.

By the time the two returned to City Hall, Kaeya and Leila had cleaned the place spotlessly.

Although they were a little incomprehensible about the lord bringing back a nun, they still obeyed Zhaoming's order to prepare a room for Lucia.

Lucia and the two clerks went to the third floor, while Zhaoming walked into the office on the second floor alone.

There was actually an armor stand at the entrance, and Zhaoming took off his armor and put it on it, moving his sore muscles and bones.

"Oh, it's so tiring."

But when he walked to the wooden table of his own, he was surprised to find a girl wearing a cloak standing next to him!

The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

The girl didn't know whether she was shy or scared, and tilted her head to the side, not daring to look directly at Zhaoming.

Zhao Ming warily drew his saber and sharply questioned the girl's purpose for coming here.

The girl trembled with fright when she saw this, and her speech was intermittent.

"Your Excellency... I... Something to look for you."

Zhao Ming saw that the girl didn't seem to have any malicious intent, so he put away his sword.

After sitting back in his seat, Zhaoming began to listen to the needs of his people in a decent manner.

"If you can say anything, don't worry."

Zhaoming was so patient, but the girl couldn't say a word for a long time, and Zhaoming seemed to feel that something was wrong.

The girl seemed to be making a difficult mental preparation, and her two slender white hands kept crossing and kneading to relieve her tension.

Finally, the girl finally spoke, she walked to Zhaoming's side and said slowly, "I want to go to your room and talk to you..."

As soon as these words came out, Zhaoming's heart instantly became puzzled, what could he say in the room?

However, in order to show his generosity, he still chose to take the girl back to the room.

The girl followed Zhaoming into the room prepared for the lord.

The smell of pine was in front of you, the room was lit with candles, and there was a desk by the window, with a row of quill pens neatly inserted on it. In the middle is a large bed with a newly covered bedspread.

Zhaoming felt good, moved a chair to let the girl sit down, and asked her name by the way.

The girl said timidly, "My name is Elusa, and my father asked me to come to you." ”

The girl didn't sit on the chair that Zhaoming had brought for her, but walked straight to the bed.

Looking at the girl's shy appearance, Zhaoming suddenly had that ominous premonition.

I saw that the girl instantly took off her cloak and revealed the tight obscene clothes and pants inside, and it was full of spring for a while.

What are you doing with me, girl!

Zhaoming covered his eyes and didn t dare to look at the girl ketone body that he only dared to see in his mobile phone in his previous life If he let himself see it in reality, he was really worried that he would do something inferior to a beast.

Elusa's little face was burned red, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes, and she trembled and said, "I am here to serve your ......"

As the girl spoke, she stripped off the last of her clothes, revealing her slightly rippling twin peaks and Yingying's waist.

Then she lay directly on the bed and put herself in a posture of letting you pick up.

Zhaoming panted with his blood in his veins, and slowly walked in front of Elusa, pressing his body against the girl.

Elusa closed her eyes in despair, waiting for what would happen next.

But Zhao Ming defeated reason over desire at the last moment, and just covered the girl's body with a quilt and didn't do anything more.

Then Zhaoming turned around and sat on the edge of the bed, lost in deep thought, and didn't say anything more.

And Elusa was also a little puzzled when she saw that Zhaoming had not made any further moves against her.

"Does the lord dislike me?"

In the face of the girl's embrace, there are still people who can control themselves!

Zhaoming sighed and said slowly, "I won't do it to a girl who is not willing. ”

Hearing Zhaoming's words, Elusa cried out loud!

Looking at the crying pear blossom girl with rain, Zhaoming panicked all of a sudden, and didn't know whether it was better to comfort her now or let her cry for a while without care.

After Elusa finally cried all her grievances, she slowly explained the truth of the matter to Zhaoming.

It turned out that she was the daughter of a farmer outside Black Rock City, and the farmers of Black Rock City wanted to curry favor with the new lord, so they offered a young girl to Zhaoming, hoping that he could reduce some of the taxes......

"I see."

Zhaoming stroked Elusa's head and said to her distressedly: "Just discuss this kind of thing directly with me, there is no need to make this kind of sacrifice." ”

But Elusa just shook her head, and then the whole person was attached to Zhaoming, pleading in an almost begging tone.

"Lord Lord, please don't dislike me, I'm still innocent......"

Zhaoming just took her into his arms, and the girl in front of him was a little persecuted, he couldn't do this kind of thing.

"Elusa, I have something to ask you, as long as you answer me seriously, I will consider asking you to reduce the rent."

Elusa nodded, indicating that she would say anything.

Zhaoming's first question was about taxes, and he estimated that the depression in Black Rock was the result of the expropriation of the Trania Kingdom.

Under Elusa's words, Zhaoming gradually learns what he has experienced before becoming a fiefdom of the Knights.

The heavy taxes imposed by the Kingdom of Trania here made people miserable, requiring each farmer to pay half of their income, and this amount was measured according to the land, and the taxes to be paid were no small regardless of the harvest this year.

"The land in Black Rock City is not fertile in the first place, and those officials still make us pay taxes based on the harvest of the fertile land"

Elusa cried again as she spoke, and the miserable life had accumulated too much pain in her heart.

Gradually, the peasants could not pay their crops, and the city's handicraft industry ran out of raw materials, and Black Rock City became more and more in decline.

What's more, because the human kingdom collects taxes before the day the church collects taxes, the people, who have long been overwhelmed by the excesses of taxes, cannot pay their tithes as believers to the church.

What's even more odious is that after Black Rock City became the territory of the Knights, the Tranya foreign country also directly collected a wave of taxes in advance, squeezing all the wealth before leaving.

Akira clenched his fists in anger at the cruel truth, and he kept comforting Elusa while promising not to oppress them like the previous officials.

After Elusa finally stopped crying, Akira advised her to get dressed and go home.

But Elusa still refuses to leave, and her father takes a lot of food from the others before agreeing to give his daughter.

If I go back, I will definitely not be able to, and my innocence will be ruined.

"Please, just let me stay with you, I can do anything!"

Seeing the girl's pleading appearance, Zhaoming finally relented and agreed to let Elusa stay as his maid.

But there was one more thing, she had to get clothes for Elusa to wear, otherwise she wouldn't be able to meet anyone.

At this time, Zhaoming remembered his system again.

After calming Elusa to sleep, Zhaoming clicked on the system panel.

"Current Remaining Faith Points: 200"

The rewards brought by the progress of the previously completed tasks are just right to come in handy, and Zhaoming clicked on the exchange interface.

Eyes swept in front of many women's costumes, ordinary clothes were very cheap compared to those powerful skills and props.

Zhaoming took a fancy to a lace maid outfit, which only required 1 faith point.

After Zhaoming confirmed, a group of black lace maids appeared in his hands.

In fact, he had always wanted to go to the maid café before he crossed over, but his empty wallet and the fear of social death had not been able to get his wish.

Gently put the skirt on the head of the bed, looking at the girl on the bed, Zhao Ming smiled evilly.

Coming to the desk, Zhaoming entered the plan again.

At present, the livelihood of the people in Black Rock City is withering, and if you want to complete the task, you must first win the hearts and minds of the people.

Normally, the people of the Knights' fiefdom would have to support the entire Knights, but Zhaoming estimated that they couldn't even afford to support themselves in the current situation.

And it stands to reason that the lord should provide protection for his inhabitants. But being alone is definitely not convincing everyone, so you have to convince everyone of your strength.

"System, I need to learn magic!"

"The system prompts that the magic you can currently learn is Elemental Magic Level 1"

Zhaoming looked at the introduction, elemental magic is the most basic and practical of all magic.

Although level 1 costs 150 faith points, the benefits are definitely worth it.

The average mage would probably take years to learn just one element, but the system allows Zhaoming to master all of them at once.

"That's it!"

Zhaoming paid 150 faith points to gain elemental magic, and also exchanged 20 attribute points for a magic cap of 200.

Akira then tried his magic when he looked at the glass of water on the table and raised his right hand to activate the magic.

I saw that the water in the cup gradually floated, forming a water ball in Zhaoming's hand.

Zhaoming sighed that it was incredible, he had mastered this power, and he believed that no one would question his rule, even if the Chenhui Knights were the only ones left.

At this moment, in the next room, Sister Lucia was praying vespers.

She prayed that Goddess Enya would protect the lonely knight, who was the most trustworthy person she had ever met.

Although there were some misunderstandings, Lucia thanked Zhao Ming from the bottom of her heart.

At the same time, she also hopes that she can return to the church as soon as possible and become a full nun.

"Goddess, Mr. Zhaoming has taught me a truth, true faith is not measured by money, so please forgive the people here for not building a complete church for your icon."
