Celestial Mage

Chapter 285: Hometown Sees Hometown? (14)

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Lord's study.

Rosen was sitting on the thick leather chair with his legs crossed, drinking fragrant tea while looking at the government documents suspended in front of him.

As a lord, he has a high status, enjoys the best resources in the territory, and holds the greatest power.

Everyone respects, and everyone yearns for.

But the word longing is similar to envy, jealousy, and covetousness, but the degree is different.

When the lord is shrewd and strong, he will naturally be served loyally by his subordinates, but if he reveals a slight weakness, there will immediately be opportunists who are good at exploiting the camp to take advantage of the loopholes.

Therefore, the lord can delegate power, be merciful where it should be kind, be generous when it should be generous, and be a little confused when it should be confused.

But the eyes must remain open.

Today, Crescent Land is in a period of rapid development, and various government documents are piled up as high as a hill.

Fund approval, job promotion, land use, etc., all require the signature of the lord for final confirmation.

If you really want to pay close attention to them one by one, it will take up a lot of time.

Fortunately, Rosen still has a desktop!
He compiled a simple government software to review documents on his behalf.

Although the eyes are open, the brain does not turn very much, and it is all working by the computing core.

'Swipe, swipe, swipe~'

A document after another quickly passed by, and the computing core reviewed it at an extremely fast speed.

'Drip~ It is found that there is a deviation in the content of the file. '

Rosen took a look and found that it was a labor salary statement.

It's okay to look at it alone, but after comparing multiple documents, there are some small problems.

He found that labor wages were overcalculated by 20 crowns.

After a little inspection of the details, he understood that it was the supervisor below who was smoothing out the trouble.

Considering the salary approval process, he knew that the 20 crowns were not allocated by one person, but by a group of people.

The total amount of salary is 1600 kroner, 20 kroner is not much error, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, so Rosen pretended not to see it, swiped a big pen, and filled in his signature at the end.

If the other party knows how to restrain himself, be a little greedy, but do things well, he doesn't care.

If it becomes more and more unbearable, then fatten it up and then slaughter it, which can not only get back all the money, but also gain some reputation.

Back to topic.

He continued to review the documents.

Usually, he would stay in the study for an hour to finish processing the documents from the previous day.

After that, the time is basically all about the technique.

Unless there is an emergency in the territory, Harrick will not bother him.

The efficiency of the computing core is extremely high, and the main effort of Rosen is in the hands of the mage.

After a while, he finished processing all the documents.

Looking at the time, less than half an hour had passed. After thinking about it, I decided to stay for an hour before leaving.

So he lay back on the thick leather chair and savored the unique fragrance tea imported from Baisha City, the southernmost city in the east.

By the way, Baisha City is really a good place, not to mention the seaside city, it is also a trade transfer point with the moon elves.

Let's just talk about this tea, maybe it was made by a gentle and beautiful moon elf tea lady.

While relaxing, there was a knock on the door, and Harrick's voice came from outside the door.

"Lord, there is a high-ranking warrior applying for the position of Sergeant Major, claiming to be Anglo from White Horse Town. I'm not sure."

Rosen's heart moved, and he immediately recalled the experience of Baima Town, and then found the image of the warrior Anglo.

He is a samurai from the East who is as tall and strong as a bear and possesses unique water power.

He remembered that the last time he met, the other party was a mid-level peak warrior, and now he claimed to be a high-level warrior, which meant that the other party had made a breakthrough in strength.

Considering that the other party seems to be less than 30 years old, it shows that he has outstanding martial arts talent.

Looking back on the past, he had already guessed why Anglo defected to him. In all likelihood, he was rejected by the locals in Baima Town.

Rosen had a good impression of this warrior, so he said, "Let him come over."

Harrick immediately reminded: "He looks desolate and smelly of sweat. I'm afraid he will run into the lord."

Rosen didn't care: "It doesn't matter."

When he was a shepherd, he had smelled everything, but he was not as delicate as a real nobleman.

After a while, the door was knocked again, and a thick voice came in: "Baron, soldier Anglo salutes you."

"Come in and talk."

The door was pushed open, and a tall figure walked in, and at the same time, a strong smell of male sweat rushed into the room.

Rosen looked at the other party carefully. He was wearing a worn leather armor that was simply cleaned up, and his hair was still greasy and messy. His body was thinner than the last time we met, but he exuded a vigor and bravery.

He is a strong man, but it can also be seen that the other party's life is not very good recently.

During this period of time, Angore also quickly sized up Rosen, and lowered his eyes after taking a look, feeling very surprised in his heart: "He is much taller than the last time we met."

The last time I saw it, it was still a bit immature, but now I see it, it gives people a strong sense of oppression from the superior.

The only thing that hasn't changed is probably the eyes. At first glance, it is calm and clear, but when you think about it carefully, it is deep and dark, making people afraid to look at it.

On the other side, Rosen looked at the respectful high-ranking warrior in front of him, and said with a smile, "Anglo, I'm very happy that you can come to join me."

Seeing that the other party remembered him, Angore was overjoyed, and immediately made up his mind to fight to the end in Crescent Town.

Since he was going to do a good job, he said, "Lord, I have to explain my past to you in detail."

"Go ahead, I'm listening."

So, Anglo told all his past experiences, starting from his hometown of Baisha City, until he escaped from Baima Town.

At the end, he sighed, with a look of desolation on his face,

"Lord, when I was young, I had a hot temper and often caused troubles. Later, my temper subsided, but I served a demon. Kong has not bad martial arts skills, but he has become like this now."

When he spoke, Rosen not only listened carefully, but also read it carefully. It was not enough to read it once. He also entered the adventure log to observe and figure out carefully.

In the end, it turned out that Angelo did not lie, and perhaps beautified his image in some details, but this is an instinct that no one can avoid.

Referring to his previous performance in fighting side by side in Baima Town, it can be determined that this is a trustworthy warrior.

As long as you give them kindness, you can entrust important tasks.

Rosen is currently short of men who can fight. It is naturally very welcome to have such a strong man come to join him.

As for the trouble caused by Anglo, it was nothing to him at all.

It has been the case since ancient times that chivalrous people use martial arts to violate the prohibition. If there is no blood in their hearts, they will not be able to practice outstanding martial arts.

In the future, if a sufferer really comes to the door, he will just pay a sum of money on his behalf.

Thinking of this, he said in a gentle tone: "Everyone makes mistakes, what is valuable is that they can correct their mistakes."

"It just so happens that there is a vacancy for a monthly payment of 40 crowns in the Crescent Legion. If you are interested, come to me and be the deputy commander."

The legion leader is currently held by Knight Hamill, who was specially asked by Rosen to come from Xia Bolai, and is his absolute confidant.

The other deputy commander was given to Watson, who had just been promoted to a higher level.

The remaining one was given to Anglo, an outsider with no roots, not only because he had this ability, but also as a statement of favor to the new vassals, saying that the lord would treat the old and new vassals equally.

Angore was shocked, and then he was ecstatic, because this greatly exceeded his expectations.

The monthly salary of 40 crowns was five times higher than his salary in Baima Town, not to mention the high position of a thousand-man deputy army commander, it was like reaching the sky in one step.

He knelt on the ground with a 'plop': "Anglo is willing to serve the lord!"

"very good."

Rosen was also very happy, so he continued: "You can be regarded as coming to Crescent Town from another place. According to my new decree, we will help new residents settle down."

"Since you are the deputy army commander, you must have the dignity of the deputy army commander in order to better control your subordinates."

While speaking, he quickly wrote a document, but it turned out to be a letter of appointment for the deputy army commander.

Then he got up and took out a house deed from the filing cabinet in the study, and a bank stub with 500 kronor in it.

"A stone house with courtyard at No. 30, Xinyue 500nd Street, plus [-] crowns for relocation."

"Clean up yourself, buy a new leather armor, and buy a good horse. Then, take the letter of commission and go to the barracks in the north of the town to report to the legion commander, Knight Hamill."

All the documents were put into a leather bag and slowly floated into Anglo's hands.

Anglo found that his hands were trembling a little. After wandering for ten years, he finally settled down.

He immediately swore: "Lord, I will definitely do my best for you!"

What Rosen wanted was his words, and said softly, "I believe in you."

"After settling down, I will marry a beautiful girl from the highlands and have a few children. Afterwards, I will make contributions on the battlefield, gain glory, and have my own family."

"Yes, lord."

"Then go."

Anglo suppressed the excitement of rushing to the new home, saluted Rosen respectfully again, and then turned and left.

As soon as he took a step, a tall woman suddenly appeared at the door of the room. It was the apprentice Anviniya.

When Rosen saw her, his heart was moved, and he immediately said, "Anglo, you are from Baisha City, right?"

"Correct."

"This Miss Anviniya is also from Baisha City, maybe you guys know each other."

While speaking, Rosen stared closely at Anviniya, and sure enough, he noticed that the expression of the apprentice who came to the door changed slightly, which was a little unnatural.

"Hey~ Let me just say something is wrong, this girl really lied to me."

When Anglo heard this, he also felt that it was a coincidence, and he was a little happy to meet a fellow countryman in a foreign country, so he looked at Anviniya.

"What a coincidence, I used to live in the dock area of ​​Baisha City, how about you?"

Anviniya's face became more and more unnatural, and she laughed dryly: "Uh~ I'm also in the dock area."

As soon as she spoke, Anglo frowned: "Miss, your accent doesn't sound like a native of Baisha City?"

As soon as these words came out, Anviniya's expression changed even more.

Rosen said, "Anglo, she is a half-elf, and her accent must be different from that of the locals in Baisha City."

Anglo was even more strange.

"Half-elf? I grew up in the dock area and lived there for more than 20 years. I've heard of half-elfs, but I haven't heard of anyone named Anvinia."

Anviniya just pursed her lips and did not speak, only looking at Rosen with begging eyes.

Rosen knew that she had something to say to him alone, so he said, "Anglo, I know about this, you go to the barracks to report."

Angelo naturally knew the reason not to meddle in other people's business, so he saluted Rosen again, turned his head and left the study.

As soon as he walked away, the study door closed.

Rosen took up the mana torrent staff, first set up a barrier of silence, and then tapped the palm of his left hand with the staff, squinting at Anvinia.

"My apprentice, it is not a virtue to lie."
