System: "That's why I said at the beginning, your people are pretty rich. But these peasant slaves, they are not your people,"

"It's too bad, if Eli hadn't found out, I'm afraid I'd have been kept in the dark, then what is their food source?"

Ryan's eyelashes twitched, "There are quite a few slaves in that group, and there is no such big expense in the castle. ”

Absolutely, there are pits everywhere.

Ryan: "No guess, I think that nobleman is definitely Dylan. ”

"It's not Dylan, it's Dylan's friend."

The system's calm voice was slightly apologetic, "I'm sorry, dear host, for some reason, there are some things that I can only tell you when you ask about them. ”

System: "One more thing to remind you is that no one in Orlan knows the true identity of the peasants, and their food sources do not depend on the castle's expenses. ”

"That's someone secretly feeding them, and you can't be blamed for that."

Ryan reflected on himself, "It was me who got carried away and didn't notice the pit hiding in the shadows. ”

Yes, it was so smooth that he let his guard down, and if Eli hadn't checked like this, he would have suffered a big loss in the end.

He's a time mage himself, and if he's careful and does time rewind like Eli, or buy some items that can be repaired, it won't turn out like this.

But fortunately, it was found in time.

"So what are you going to do?"

Eli looked at Ryan and raised his eyebrows, "I can't think of a reason why you would want to inherit this realm. ”

"There are many reasons for inheriting this territory, and I can't explain it clearly at the moment." Ryan sighed, "So what else did you find?" ”

He doesn't have all the memories of the original body, and he doesn't know why Ryan Campbell took over such a big hole.

The system whispered in Ryan's head, "The pit is Dylan's advance layout, and the king of the Imperial City is in some ways ...... In short, he has no ill will towards you. ”

Ryan blinked slightly.

Eli Yang raised the remaining scrolls, "Don't worry, please solve one problem at a time." ”

Only then did Ryan understand that Eli was very powerful when the system said it, and what exactly he was referring to.

Eli looked at Ryan, "So...... Dear lord, what are you going to do with those troublesome slaves? ”

Ryan held a parchment roll in his hand, and gently rubbed the roll with his fingertips, "I don't know about these superficial peasants, but they are actually slaves, and the inhabitants of this territory are almost all aboriginals. ”

Eli raised his eyebrows, "So when you succeeded to this realm, didn't you bring a trusted servant, or a knight and squire with you?" ”

"Nope."

Ryan sighed, "I'm here alone, like Andrew, they are all later to join Oran, and Lady Katyusha is an invited guest like you. ”

Eli: "Thankfully, you still have that unfathomable friend. ”

"Yes."

Ryan agreed, "If it weren't for that friend, I would probably have been lost on the road...... Now I have new friends. ”

Eli chuckled.

Ryan folded the parchment in half, looked at Eli and said, "According to the rules on the parchment scroll, if those slaves are sick, I must pay the nobles more than the gold coins. ”

Eli, "But slaves are not worth much, and the amount of gold you need to pay is far greater than the value of the slaves themselves, and they can't create any value at all." The only thing I can say is that you don't need to take out their current living materials, and by the way, they have destroyed the fields near the forest. ”

"I know." Ryan, "But there's another very important thing on the parchment of the contract, if the slaves die of their own cause, I don't need to pay any extra gold. ”

Eli snorted softly, "Are you going to let them all die of their own causes?" ”

Ryan didn't speak.

"Actually, it's the best way to do it."

Eli's eyes were calm, "I've already investigated, these slaves are death row inmates, their bodies are already dead, and their role is just to make you pay an extra amount of money when you are in a serious state." ”

Eli: "If you can't compensate you with enough gold, the nobleman can use this as a reason to apply to the king of the Imperial City to wage a territorial war against you, and even if you pay enough gold, the slaves will also die when they leave Oran." ”

Eli sighed, "You humans are really complex, or vampires are simple. ”

Ryan nodded in agreement, "I also think humans are complicated. ”

At the same time, he asked in his mind, "All of you, is the physical condition of those slaves really bad?" ”

"It's very bad, and please don't have sympathy for them."

System: "To put it simply, because of the Black Witches, you can think of them as being slightly better than Henry." ”

The system's voice was extremely calm: "They are helpless. ”

Having said that, Ryan still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Ryan sighed softly, looked at Eli and asked, "Now that you know about their situation, have you counted how many of these slaves there are?" ”

"I've counted it."

Eli: "This group of peasant slaves came to Oran two months ago, and there were 129 of them, 15 of whom were lost to illness, and 114 are still left. They first came to Oran as outcasts, and with the help of a good butler named Henry, they were granted the right to live in Oran. ”

Eli pulled out a parchment scroll and uncovered it, "Henry arranged for them to live in the farthest part of the castle, in the far part of the forest, where they subsisted by farming in the name of clearing the land.

But I searched the memories of a peasant and found that every month someone would come to deliver supplies to them in the name of the Lord of Oran.

It seems that the person who transports the supplies is a cook, but the official inhabitants of Oran are unaware of this, because Henry has told others not to contact them for fear of carrying demonic diseases, and they rarely leave the edge of the forest, and they will avoid Orions and adventurers when they see them, and their presence is very low. ”

Ryan looked up, "There is no good Henry, he used to be the butler of the previous lord and the puppet of the Black Witch, and the cook is no longer in Oran. ”

"No wonder ......"

The clever Eli understood in an instant.

Burning the parchment contract and hiding the existence of these people are all in order to pay a huge amount of compensation, or to provoke a territorial war.

Ryan already had a rough understanding of Dylan's plan, and although he was just a friend, the nobleman must have done it for Dylan's sake. As long as Dylan took a territory, and the nobles gave him the contract, then Dylan would have a suitable reason to attack Orlan.

After all, the lords of the same country start a fight, which requires the consent of the king, and there is a contract, even the king is not good to have too much interference.

The contract is not famous, it was signed by the Lord of Oran, and even if it was not the contract signed by Ryan, he is now responsible for it, which is the law of the kingdom.

Ryan lowered his head and pondered, and asked in his mind, "What should I do with this kind of unequal contract?" ”

Although he felt a little cruel, he was not a holy father.

"There are many ways to do ......"

System: "The easiest and most suitable way at the moment, you can go to Katyusha, she has a way to undo it." In addition, the process of disarming can be recorded with the Crystal of Time, and then sent to the king of the imperial city with a detailed letter. ”

System: "The Royal Wizard can tell the time of the Dark Arts, and if the King of the Imperial City receives the letter, this unfair contract will be useless." ”

Ryan: "That's fine. ”

Come on!

Ryan looked sideways at Eli and repeated what the system had just said to him.

Eli: "That's a good choice, but what about your relationship with the human king?" ”

Ryan: "......"

Ryan touched his fingers: "It's okay." ”

Eli: "Then that's for now, when the time comes, I'm going to gather all these people together, are you going to ask Ms. Katyusha, or ......?" ”

"I'll go talk to Ms. Katyusha."

Ryan: "Don't you have something else to tell me?" ”

"It just so happens to have something to do with it."

Eli pulled out a slightly more ornate parchment scroll, "This is the notice, there is still three months to hold a grand ceremony, which is also the birth month of the king of the imperial city, as the lord of Oran who has received the invitation, you need to ask someone to present the appropriate gift on the king's birthday, or you will personally bring the gift to the imperial city on the birthday day." ”

Ryan: "......"

Oh!

Tusentoski's coming-of-age ceremony, the king's birthday, how the time came together.

Ryan looked at Eli and sighed, looked up and asked, "What is the best gift for a king's birthday?" ”

Eli, who had never participated in the birthday of a human king, hesitated for a few seconds and replied uncertainly: "After all, it's a king, at least you have to prepare a bunch of gold mountains, right?"

Even on my birthday, vampires sent me a thousand handsome human slaves, and many strange rare treasures, not to mention princes or grand dukes. This is a human king, although he may not be as elaborate as us vampires, but his status should not be too low, right? ”

Although he used to work as a butler, Eli was serving a vampire archduke at the time, and he didn't know much about human kings.

Ryan: "? ”

Depend on!

Mu!

A thousand handsome human slaves!

Ryan, who had also never seen a king, asked the system in his head, "All of you, do you really want to be like Eli said?" ”

He now has all the family property in his body, and he can only pile up a small copper mountain when he reaches the sky.

"No, please recognize your own strength."

System: "If you don't have enough money, just prepare some rare gifts." ”

Ryan: "Am I going to be there?" ”

System: "Do you have someone you trust to send a gift to the Imperial City?" ”

Ryan: "I've got Andrew!" ”

System: "Oh. ”

Ryan sighed.

It seems that he can only find a way to prepare some rare things.

Eli folded the sheepskin, looked at Ryan and asked, "Dear lord, that's all I have to mention to you. ”

"Thank you so much."

Ryan looked at Eli eagerly, "If it weren't for you, I don't know when I would have found out about this." ”

Sure enough, hiring a good housekeeper is a smart choice!
