Chapter 7: Liwei

The next morning, when she woke up, Elusa saw the clothes that Akira had prepared for her at the bedside.

The rich fabric made the girl dare not touch it, for fear of damaging the beautiful dress.

But Zhaoming didn't care about any of this, urging Elusa to put it on quickly and try to see if it was suitable.

"That's... Wear it in front of you? Elusa said shyly.

Elusa still covered her body with the quilt, and the girl who gave up everything yesterday is now a little shy.

Zhaoming nodded, to be honest, he also had a lustful heart - he had never seen a girl dressed.

Besides, Elusa probably couldn't figure out how to wear these modern clothes.

"I've seen them all, and you don't have anything to hide."

Zhaoming smiled evilly and touched Elusa's head, and the other party also felt that it made sense. In the end, with the help of Zhaoming, he successfully put on a cute maid outfit.

Looking at her beautiful appearance, Elusa felt a little embarrassed.

"Obviously I'm just a servant, but I wear such beautiful clothes, so that others think it's ...... when they see it"

Elusa obviously had other thoughts, but Zhaoming turned abruptly to suppress his desires, which was too exciting for a child with a dirty heart but a pure body.

Then the two walked out of the room together, but they just happened to meet Lucia!

Looking at the suddenly extra girl next to Zhaoming, Lucia asked puzzledly, "Lord Zhaoming, why is there a girl in your room?" ”

Ah......h

Zhaoming embarrassedly explained that this was the maid he was looking for, and then pretended that nothing happened to introduce the two to each other.

The two girls shook hands briefly, and Elusa was a little frightened, ordinary people like them had a natural sense of respect for the clergy of the church.

But Lucia generously befriended her, and the two girls went to the back kitchen to cook breakfast for Zhaoming.

Looking at the backs of the two girls, an inexplicable sense of accomplishment welled up in Zhaoming's heart.

Then he went to the lord's office and found that the two officials had been waiting there for a long time.

"Kaeya, what did I ask you to prepare?"

"Here, sir."

Kaeya handed him a thick account book, and Zhaoming took it and looked through it, and the more he looked at it, the worse his mood became, and finally he slammed the account book on the table.

"These damn worms!"

Zhao Ming roared angrily, he had just looked at Black Rock City's property statistics and taxes.

I didn't expect Trania to squeeze so hard in Black Rock City.

"Leila, when will this year's grain be harvested?" Zhaoming asked angrily.

The lady replied with some fear at the lord's appearance, "There should be two more months, but there has been a lack of rain recently, and the harvest may not be good." ”

Leila thought that Zhao Ming was worried that she would not be able to collect taxes, and secretly scolded this lord for being no different from the previous sheriff.

However, Zhaoming didn't say much, and immediately put on his full armor after hearing about the recent lack of rain.

"I'm going to inspect outside the city!"

Before the two government officials could react, Zhaoming had already walked out of the city hall and rode away.

The neighing of war horses spread throughout the streets and alleys of Black Rock City, and although he was going to inspect outside the city, Zhao Ming first walked around the city with the battle flag of the Chenhui Knights in high before leaving Black Rock City.

Along the way, many people cast curious glances at their lords, many from afar, some poking their heads out of their windows.

Zhaoming's move was meant to announce his arrival to everyone, but everyone was more worried about what he would do to him.

In the farmland outside the city, a group of people are gathering to discuss.

Most of them are ordinary farmers here, and some are people who live in the city to earn a living.

"Have you heard, the new lord seems to be only one person, and he doesn't even have subordinates and attendants!"

"Isn't it, I heard that he still seems to have escaped from somewhere......"

There was a lot of talk among them, and among them was a dejected old man, who was Elusa's father.

If he had known that this was the case, he would not have offered his daughter to the lord.

Suddenly, one of them proposed, "I don't think we might as well give him ...... ourselves."

Before he finished speaking, he was covered by someone on the side.

"What are you thinking? He is a warrior of the goddess, and if he hurts him, he will be damned! ”

At this moment, someone shouted in the distance that the lord was coming, and everyone quickly stopped the discussion and quietly waited for the lord's arrival under a tree.

Zhaoming rode through the muddy country road, and the sound of the horse's hooves hitting the ground could be heard from far and near, and everyone who heard it was amazed at the strength of this good horse.

Zhaoming's armor shone in the sunlight, and it didn't fit in with the people in the surrounding fields.

The knight with the battle flag stopped under the tree, and the inhabitants felt some fear of the lord who was close at hand.

Zhaoming didn't dismount, but just sat on the back of the shadow and looked at the civilians.

After a long time, he slowly spoke, "Who is Elusa's father?" ”

A man with a white beard squeezed out of the crowd, and the years and fatigue left traces on his face that did not belong to this age.

"Me!"

The man was a little nervous, he thought that Zhaoming was going to talk to him about his daughter, and he was worried that his daughter had done something wrong to make the lord unhappy.

However, Zhaoming didn't talk about Elusa, only asked him if it hadn't rained in a long time recently.

This? The man didn't realize for a moment why a noble knight would care about the crops in the field.

Then he reacted and said: "Yes, it is the booting period of the wheat, and it is the time when water is needed, but it has not rained for a long time. ”

The man's eyes showed sadness, he regretted his actions, and he was also worried that his daughter's sacrifice would not bring anything to fruition.

All this was evident in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

His immediate priority now is to establish his prestige in the hearts of the people.

I saw him raise his right hand, and a blue curse mark appeared in the palm of his hand.

Suddenly, a large amount of water splashed out of his hand like a fountain.

The onlookers were stunned by this scene, it was the first time they had seen such a miracle.

I saw that there seemed to be a steady stream of water flowing into the surrounding dry land, and some of it went into the irrigation canal to the vicinity of each farmland, enough to use it for three or four days.

Before it was over, Zhao Ming rode around the entire cultivation area of Black Rock City to make sure that there was enough water on every piece of land.

Everyone cheered as they saw the clear water flowing into the land, moistening the sun-scorched wheat.

After replenishing all the farmland with water, Zhaoming returned to the big tree and said nothing in front of the cheering crowd.

The crowd that had just been cheering saw that the lord who had given them water had been silent, and gradually stopped celebrating.

At first they didn't understand what was going on, until one of them started thanking the crowd and they reacted that they were too contemptuous of the lord, and Elusa's father was pushed out to thank the lord.

"Thank you, sir, for bringing us precious water," Elusa's father said respectfully.

However, Zhaoming still just stayed there motionless, which made everyone feel a lot of pressure.

In fact, it wasn't that Zhao Ming was cold, but that the magic just now consumed all his magic stocks, and now he was a little prostration, speechless.

I didn't expect it to be so expensive to create a water elemental out of thin air, but if you don't do this, you won't be able to show your strength.

Between breaths, Zhaoming waited for the system's progress prompt.

It stands to reason that this wave of operations is enough to make all farmers grateful to themselves, but I don't know why the system has not responded for a long time.

At this time, he suddenly remembered a novel he had read before the crossing, which once said that the key to the art of controlling people is to have a stick in one hand and a radish in the other.

It seems that it is unconvincing to give favors without deterrence.

So Zhaoming, who was relieved, asked the onlookers, "Who am I?" ”

Such a strange question, everyone present thought that they had heard it wrong, and they didn't know how to speak.

Then Zhaoming asked who he was twice, and everyone didn't know how to answer.

Finally, I don't know who said, "You are our lord!" ”

Everyone responded: "You are our lord, thank you, lord!" ”

Looking at their flattering appearance, Zhaoming deliberately pretended to be angry and asked, "Then why don't you even have the most basic politeness when you see me?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone realized that they were wrong, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee to show their loyalty.

"Lord's Card Quest Progress 3/10"

Sure enough, only a combination of grace and power can truly capture people's hearts.

Zhao Ming turned over and dismounted with satisfaction, and easily added 5 points of strength to the attribute points that had just arrived.

Passing through the crowd of kneeling people, Akira said to them, "Remember my name, I am the Knight of Chenhui and the Lord of Black Rock, and I swear by my faith in the goddess Enya to provide you with protection, but if any of you have two hearts for my rule, there is such a tree!" ”

With that, he kicked the two-man tree.

After hearing a bang, the tree was cut off at the waist and fell to the ground.

Everyone present was shocked by the terrifying power of Zhaoming, and the person who had thoughts about the lord before immediately dispelled the illusions in his heart.

Zhaoming walked up to Elusa's father, Chrysler, and ordered him to look up.

"From now on, I will appoint you as the administrator of all the villages directly under the jurisdiction of Black Rock City, and now find someone to move this tree to the town hall for me."
