Chapter 344 Urban Management

Although his face has the childishness of a teenager, it is a little impossible to distinguish his gender even at a glance, only a slight frown, but there is a bit of maturity - the kind of calm expression that people can see at a glance and forcibly pretend to disguise. Let Edward search for a blurry image in his memory...... Seems to have something to do with a group of hapless robbers?

However, Edward was not really interested in remembering this.

At this moment, the sword in the little guy's hand attracted his attention even more - it was a light and narrow long sword, finely made, but there were blood marks on it.

Edward raised an eyebrow.

"Guarantee? Guarantee is useful, what's the use of asking for money? If you want to repay the debt, let's just say it, what kind of aristocratic tone is pretending? And everything is the best, and I think it's a noble lord......"

The rough-faced boss muttered in a low voice, obviously the arrival of the lord had made him a little more emboldened - several villains had a distinctly aristocratic temperament on them, which could not be concealed by the dress of a commoner. And for most people in this plane, a nobleman is not responsible for what the commoners do, so most commoners are used to swallowing their anger......

Noble?ha, it is said that the lord took a duke's army as a slave for the sake of the people!

"What else do you say that you lost your money bag, did you lose all the people of your team? The thieves in Burgundy are long gone...... I actually cut off my son's hand, if it weren't for the kindness and generosity of the priests of Majesty Bellena, and their good ability, I would have smashed your eggs even if I tried my best...... But Lord Lord, you also know that the blood on the floor is not so easy to clean, and it will bring bad luck to the tavern......" the innkeeper muttered, carefully observing his lord's face.

In fact, the reason for daring to stop these people was that they did not have any insignia representing their status, and the atmosphere of Burgundy was different from that of ordinary cities—at least the young lord was not a nobleman, but he was not afraid of any nobles, which was enough for the commoners to become a little more daring.

"No, no, sir, well, Your Excellency, we don't mean to lose the money...... I'll be able to return it soon. It's just this, this gentleman, what he said insulted my parents, so I decided to teach him a lesson, but I didn't expect to be ......."

At this time, the little guy finally couldn't help but raise his voice, he explained with a hint of grievance, but his eyes touched the black shadow, but he fell again, and just spoke in a voice:

Although it has only been about twenty days since the last meeting, this little guy does seem to have matured a little) and of course only a little...... That kind of timid look was definitely uncommon among the nobility of the era, and usually even the lowest-ranking knights would maintain that kind of pride, unless they sold their titles.

"It was me who cut off that little bastard's arm, so what is there to say about me. ”

As soon as the words fell, a samurai beside him couldn't help but roar angrily: "Isn't it just a few stinky money?"

But the Psychic Warlock had no interest in listening to him bark at all.

"Well, Lord Lord, the four of them ate eight pounds of toast, pies, beef boiled peas, lord special meat sausage, lord special kebab ...... And three barrels of ale and a bottle of mage wine......" Edward's gaze turned, and the short and fat shopkeeper hurriedly complained: "In addition, he cut off my son's arm, although he has now been sent to the temple, but I don't know ......"

"The city lord is special?"

"Ah, that's ...... That,That's right.,It's a cured meat made according to the method you taught.,The big guy likes it very much.,A serving of five silver coins.,If you have time, you must try it.,Of course, I'm a treat.,Ah...... Damn, how could you possibly look up to my superficial craftsmanship, I've heard that the smell of what you've made can make you eat a piece of bread, the smell that wafted out of your tower last time......"

The Psychic Warlock shook his hand a little amusedly, stopping the boss's shoddy sycophants, and he groaned for a moment, wanting to give a judgment directly, but by this time, a group of people had already run from the corner of the street with the sound of jingling.

In Burgundy, the city's patrolmen carried a brass bell, and the sound of the sound could alert the people around them to cooperate to make way for them, which was of course a privilege granted to them by Edward.

"Urban ...... Hiccup...... Don't move! Political Law Enforcement Brigade!

The dwarf who took the lead snorted in a rough voice, but judging from the look of those blood-red eyes, this guy had drunk a lot more...... Fortunately, he was not confused when he spoke: "We heard that someone reported it, no, it was reported that there was a fight here?"

"What, someone's hand has been chopped off......? Sent away? What did you see? Whose thing was broken?

Listening to the shopkeeper's babbling report, the dwarf pulled out a scroll from his side, unfolded it and looked at it a few times, and then glanced at a few people with a wink...... Punishment regulations, this provision!repair limb ...... Three hundred and twenty gold coins, plus compensation for your broken things!

"Three hundred and thirty gold coins?" "Are you crazy?" "This is ...... Blackmail, why don't you rob it!damn it!"

"Even in Romanty, there is no such price! How can such a country place be so expensive? An ordinary repaired limb is only fifty gold coins, and three hundred and twenty is the price of rebirth?"

As soon as this number came out, the eyes of several big men suddenly widened bigger than bells! After a pause, they shouted indignantly.

The efficiency of the medical system in this world is actually much higher than the one that someone remembers, so things like fighting are extremely common, and the reaction to injuries is not so great - after all, as long as you find a priest with a life, most of them will not leave any sequelae, the difference is only a matter of how much money is spent.

But more than 300 gold coins is not a small amount, even in a capital city like Romanty, this amount of money is enough for a person to live comfortably for a year or two, and it may be enough for a lifetime to get this kind of countryside.

However, compared to the voice, I am afraid that only big animals such as dragons in this world can be the opponents of dwarves.

"Shut up! The base price of the reborn limb is one hundred platinum coins, and by the way, who is the one who hurt the person!In addition to paying money for the wounded to be treated, he has seven days of forced labor!" The dwarf scratched his beard impatiently, causing the brass ring on it to clang. "Don't talk nonsense, take it out quickly, otherwise, you will have to work for two or three years to make up this money!"

"Bastard!" the dwarf's grinning tone made the crowd even more angry, and a low curse was followed by a series of sword draws.

But that only made the dwarves more excited.

"You're still trying to fight me...... Ah, no, what did you say about that word Edward boy told me......? Violent ......"

"Violent resistance to the law. ”

"Yes, yes! How many of you still want to violently resist the law? I don't know what my Baroque Night Rain is doing in our Chengguan Brigade?"

Excitedly, he pulled out his big axe with his backhand, and slammed a fire on the stones on the ground, and Baroque shouted: "Spy on what the Blayhawk gang is planting or something, you have to hide when you see people, the dwarf uncle has been holding his breath for the past two days! Come on, you can beat me, and you don't need to pay?"

He glanced at a few of the warriors who were visibly stunned by his movements, eager to try to say the guy who had given him the teleprompter...... Ha, whoever cares about him, it's good if he can fight!

"Stop......! Mr. Dwarf, and this lord of the city, we can't afford to ...... that much money for the time being" The child shook his hand, stopping the activities of his angry men, and even at this point, he still fantasized about trying to solve the problem with words, after all, the young lord seemed to be reasonable.

Unfortunately, Edward apparently didn't want to wait any longer for events to unfold.

"The solution is very simple, mortgage with goods or labor, and if someone can pay for you, we can return the original collateral, but the law is to punish the offender, so that they can realize their mistakes and atone for their sins, so you must do forced labor, in the laws of this city, these are the foundations, do you have any questions?"

Edward sighed, he wanted to see the law enforcement abilities of his men, but now it seemed that there was only one thing, this aggressive dwarf was not suitable for this kind of thing at all, at least not when he drank too much.

"Bored, boy Edward, so you're here? boring, I thought I could finally get some money, but now it's soup again. The dwarf rubbed his eyes, finally noticing the black figure outside the crowd, so he let out a grunt of dissatisfaction, and then turned back to disperse the patrolmen: "Disperse, we have nothing to do." ”

"For the sake of you just saying the wrong word. I'll only deduct half of your salary for the month, unless you promise not to drink while you're on duty. Otherwise, you will leave the chengguan team for me. Edward withdrew his gaze from the dwarf who was stammering in an instant, and turned to the group of troublemakers: "Hand over your armor and weapons, and then I can allow one of you to leave to raise money, and as for the others, you will be imprisoned for the time being, and besides, you can't go, as the main criminal you must participate in forced labor." ”

"This ......" The little guy was obviously dumbfounded, but before he could think of anything, a group of wolf-like city administrators had already rushed up to disarm them. Several big men wanted to resist, but for some reason, at that moment, their spirits suddenly fell into a trance and almost fell to the ground...... By the time he reacted, everything on his body had been ripped off. They were also taken separately.

"You...... You can't do this to me, I'm Lai...... Family, no, no, you are plundering, even if you are a lord, you have no right to deprive us of our zìyóu......" The child shouted, but the shrill child's voice was soon drowned out in the noise of the street, and although he was so angry, he still could not reveal his true identity, so he could only be pushed and shoved with two of his men except for one companion to carry out the forced labor.

But what is forced labor?

The young man couldn't help but feel apprehensive in his heart, after all, the young lord of this city was not a kind person - everyone who passed by on the road would probably be shocked by the white bones nailed to the wooden frame there for a long time, if he didn't sit in the carriage, he wouldn't even dare to walk that way, so there is even a legend that the young lord here is a monster incarnated by a demon at all, and he has to eat a person every day as a meal.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly turn his head and peek at the black-robed mage who was following them, but unfortunately, even if his eyes widened, he couldn't feel any demonic aura from the other party,

And the destination is not far away, just a street away.

"Okay, it's finally ...... Lord Edward finally remembered me, although the men I had brought me didn't seem to be that good at work...... "After a brief handover, the guards who had brought them with them departed, leaving behind a specific foreman: "Well, you may call me Famini, all right, let's get started, your task is to dig holes, every thirty feet or so, with drawn circles, and plant these saplings in them,"

Fortunately, the person in charge of what kind of labor reform is not the imaginary fierce and vicious jailer, but just a person who looks quite ordinary...... If he hadn't been wearing a large thick and heavy cloak woven like tree bark, and an eye patch on his face, Fu's honest smile would have looked very kind.

It's just that the wooden tools are a little rough—although the bottom of them is made of steel, and one can't believe that it's just a tool for digging, but the young man's slender white fingers are only slightly forced, and the handle of the tumor wood hurts, and he can't help but scream.

"Take your time, don't rush, young man, it takes ten years to cultivate a person, but it takes a hundred years to cultivate a tree. That's what the lord said," said the self-proclaimed figure of Famini, but the dirt around him made the young man cough, and he bent down, and with great difficulty he suppressed it, and asked with difficulty:

"Excuse me, what is this for?"

"Urban greening. ”

"Urban greenery?"

"That's right, it's a great idea, it's a new term invented by the lord, you've probably not heard of it, it means planting trees, planting grass and flowers in the city, and ......combining the city and the forest nature as much as possible," the self-proclaimed Famini nodded vigorously, as if admiring the plan: "The city is not just ruled by masonry. Human beings are also a part of nature, and "city" and "nature" do not have to be diametrically opposed. Therefore, planting trees on both sides of the road, setting up parks and natural beauty areas, planting turf and other practices are all feasible and effective ways to restore nature. ”

"But what's the use?"

"It's very useful, it makes the city clean and beautiful, and it also brings people closer to nature, which is also good for the body. ”

The boy was stunned. In his opinion, the city's qiē is simply different from his impression, without the slightest common sense...... But it seems to be a little refreshing,

But a series of horses' hooves sounded behind his ears.

The boy turned his head back to the side and saw a bright emerald color. A cloak fluttered slightly in the evening breeze, and a chestnut war horse came running from the other side of the street, but in the blink of an eye, it had already accelerated to an extremely high level!

And at this time, the knight on the horse raised his hand, and a spear appeared in his hand, and the black wrought iron spear tip reflected a cold luster in the sun, and rushed straight towards the black-robed lord!

Edward's footsteps didn't shake.

To the average person, the young lord seemed to be stunned by the galloping horse, and he raised his head, his gaze poked out of his hood, and fell on the knight's face, a delicate helmet covering half of her face, revealing only a shrill and slightly blackened jaw, but it was still possible to make out the expression of gnashing teeth, and the delicate and slender female features under the simple leather armor.

The horse's hooves galloped, the distance of a hundred feet was fleeting, and the sharp tip of the spear seemed to be pointing at the chest of the black robe in an instant!

But in the midst of everyone's horrified gaze, a dark and heavy long sword went upward, and when it staggered the spear, and then lifted it up in the piercing friction, the metal rubbed out a subtle arc-shaped spark, and when the spark was extinguished, the spear was full of momentum and had bounced into the sky like an arrow off the string!

When the spear was taken off, the knight on the horse immediately realized that it was not good, and she subconsciously wanted to tighten the reins, but the next moment, the stinging pain from the buttocks made the horse let out a painful neigh, and the body tilted to the side!

He looked at this woman carefully, in fact, this woman was a little more impressive than his younger brother in the previous relationship, but at that time, he had glanced at it from a distance, far less closely than he did today
