"What does that mean?"

After listening to Claire's latest order conveyed by the messenger, Eugene couldn't help but consult with old Ivan.

"I can understand the transformation of Sp Castle into a large-scale fortress, and why do you want to send all the young people under the age of 25 to Tilin Town first?"

"Huh?" Old Ivan raised his eyes to review the drawings of the fortress and glanced at Eugene, a little confused. "Don't you know?"

"What do I know?" Eugene was confused.

Old Ivan shook his head, and looked down at the blueprint that the messenger had brought.

"The lord has found a magician to test the magical talents of the residents of Tilin Town, and has taken in dozens of magic apprentices, so that you can send this group of people over, it must be the same purpose."

"Is there such a thing?" Eugene was even more confused. "How I don't know."

"Alas," old Ivan sighed without raising his head. I don't know how you became a deputy captain, you don't even have a confidant, this matter has spread all over Tiling Town. It's not that far from Tilling, so you'll find out if you ask a little. ”

"Who said I don't have a henchman?" Eugene was instantly unhappy. "I just brought them all here, unlike you, my son is still the lord's butler, where do you know so much news."

"Okay, okay." Old Ivan didn't want to argue with Eugene about this topic either, so he waved his hand to stop the discussion and asked away from the question. "What happened to what you were asked to do secretly, how many people were captured from nearby villages?"

"I'll do it, don't worry." Eugene also regained his seriousness. "I took people back and forth, patronized many nearby territories, and swept away a total of almost 3,000 people from seven villages, it should be about the same."

Old Ivan put down the drawings and sighed, still not a little satisfied.

"More than three thousand, plus the original more than five thousand, there are still a few people, this territory is much larger than Hart's, this person is far from enough."

"Why do you want so many people, let's do this, the lord won't punish us if he knows." Eugene was a little speechless, the plundering of the population was the work of old Ivan.

Originally, without Claire's order, Eugene didn't dare to act rashly and take the initiative to provoke other lords and make enemies for Claire.

Who knew that old Ivan heard Claire complain about the small population of the territory several times from Little Ivan, so he secretly paid attention to it and made a speculation.

Although it is not clear why Claire said that the population is small, many lords actually don't care about the population, as long as they buy land, they don't have to worry about income. But since Claire said that old Ivan has such an opportunity, he naturally has to figure out his intentions and do something.

However, this made Eugene very worried.

The first time he went to the nearby lord's village to move the villagers, he was a little trembling with fear, for fear that the nearby lord would send an army to exterminate him.

But soon Eugene found that no one seemed to be coming to trouble him, and the nearby lords did not seem to know that the entire village under his rule had been taken captive.

This made him puzzled and emboldened at the same time.

So, Eugene swaggered and plundered the few remaining villages that saw Sp Castle but were not under the jurisdiction of Spu Castle, plundered all the people and property, and brought all of them to Spu Castle.

Old Ivan's ability as a senior housekeeper was vividly displayed during this period, which made Eugene feel a little strange.

Ivan the Elder arranged for these new arrivals, some of whom built houses near the castle to enrich the population of the castle. The other part was arranged to each village to increase the population of the villages under the castle.

In order to facilitate management and prevent these people from making trouble, old Ivan adopted the principle of disrupting the distribution, tried not to let people in the same village stay together, and carried out "friendly exchanges" with the original village chiefs, so that they could obediently cooperate.

Since there is no shortage of food in the eastern part of the kingdom, there is also a lot of food stored in the castle of Sp, even if there is a lot of new population in a short period of time, under the overall management of old Ivan, it is still in order.

"Don't worry, the lord knows, he will only praise us, maybe there will be a reward, and it is impossible to punish us." Old Ivan naturally understood what Eugene was worried about, and comforted the other party with a smile.

Although Eugene was still a little apprehensive in his heart, but the matter had come to this point, there was no way, and after a few daily quarrels with old Ivan, he took a group of teenagers to Tilin Town.

......

A horse-drawn carriage was slowly driving down the dirt road. Marin, a second-order magician that Wade couldn't handle, was also escorted by several soldiers from Dome Town to Tilin Town.

As soon as he approached the town of Tilling, Marin saw the town of Tiling become a construction site.

"What's going on?" Marin didn't expect to see such a scene when he arrived in Tilling Town.

Originally, he thought that Tilling Town should be a military town now, but it looked completely different.

Soon, the soldiers, after questioning the local residents, gave Marin an answer.

"Build roads and magic towers? You're saying that Tilling Town is going to build a magic tower? After hearing the magic tower, Marin's expression changed, as a magician, who wouldn't want to cultivate in the magic tower.

The Magic Tower is too important for a magician.

It's a pity that as a second-order magician with no background in casual cultivation, Ma Lin knew very well that it was impossible for him to build a magic tower that belonged to him by himself.

Even if Domme Town supported him with a lot of money, but after daily cultivation, Marin didn't save much money, although he was also rich among second-order magicians, but it was still far from the number of building a magic tower.

As for taking refuge in other magicians, Marin didn't think about it, but unfortunately he couldn't do it.

The strong one doesn't look down on Marin, and he doesn't have many magic tower resources that he can use, and he has to work for people. The weaker ones are afraid of luring the wolf into the house, and it is impossible to let him into the magic tower.

Low-level magicians who encounter the same as Marin are a common phenomenon in the kingdom, and a small number of low-level magicians who can have magic towers are basically supported by other people behind them, either from a master's family or from a noble family.

Therefore, when he heard that Bella's strength was not at the middle level, and the town of Tilling was going to build a middle-level magic tower again, Marin was really moved, and for the first time, he really had the idea of being willing to work for that Baron Claire.

As long as the Baron Claire can guarantee his access to the magic tower, not to mention that compared to Bella, it can have three or four percent, which is enough to satisfy him.

The resource use permission of the middle-level magic tower is very attractive to some magicians who have just entered the middle level, let alone only the second-order him.

Thinking of this, his heart became hotter and hotter, and he couldn't help urging the coachman.

"Hurry up, I want to see the Baron soon."
