Lord of the Scourge: Become the Demon Archduke In the Beginning

Lauren went down from the house to the lobby on the first floor, where Fianna and Butler Bohr were already waiting.

Good day, sir.

The gray-haired Bohr immediately raised his chest and saluted, his every move was full of aristocratic elegance.

The cold Fianna nodded slightly, but did not speak.

Lauren didn't care, and smiled at Butler Bohr.

Morning, Pol.

After finishing speaking, he looked around, Where are Dern and Ariel?

Butler Pole responded, Master, Mr. Dern has already gone to gather the residents of the territory, and he said that he will strive to complete the census task you assigned today.

Miss Ariel was assisting.

Lauren couldn't help but laugh.

The deputy speaker of the city hall to assist her assistant?

Let Ariel come back, when is Deen qualified to instruct my deputy?

Tell him that if he can't complete the task today, he will manage the stables in the backyard.

When I passed by yesterday, I found that there seemed to be a lot of horse manure left, maybe he would be a qualified worker.

Butler Boer smiled, Master, it is true that Ariel is assisting Mr. Dern, but she is also looking for suitable officials in the city hall... After all, we have too few talents.

So little that you can only find talents from slaves who don't even know the words...

When it came to this topic, Lauren frowned.

After this bloody day, I will go to Decker City again, and I will find a way to solve the population problem.

Population is a big problem, and he has even realized that this will be a difficulty that will always plague Gray Eagle's territory in the future.

No one is talking about everything.

The entire Gray Eagle Territory now has a population of less than 500, which is equivalent to half an elementary school on Earth...

Very little.

And more importantly, Gray Eagle's territory is deep in the endless wasteland, and it is impossible to recruit civilians. The population can only be obtained through Decker City in a short period of time.

Butler Boer nodded, Master, maybe you don't need to be so anxious.

After all, it took three hundred years to build the most powerful Decker City in the North, and we still have time...

Lauren shook her head.

The bloody day is the biggest unstable factor. Even Decker City dare not underestimate those bloody polluters hiding in the dimensional plane.

Moreover, the demon master whose godhood was robbed by him is still looking for his whereabouts until now.

Although the godhead has been swallowed up by the system, the blood of the demon grand duke in his body will not disappear. The crisis is always there, so he can't be careless.

The Gray Eagle Territory must be strengthened as soon as possible, and the City of Glorious Moon must be truly established, not just an empty slogan.

Come on, follow me to see the census situation.

Without saying much on this issue, Lauren turned and went out.

Butler Bohr immediately followed.

After leaving the manor, stepping across the withered grass in front of you, you came to the street where the residents lived.

In the distance, I saw a large circle of people lined up in two rows in the open space next to them. Two wooden tables were neatly arranged, and a few residents in shabby clothes were sitting behind the wooden table, asking the people standing opposite one by one.

The bearded Dern and Ariel watched from the side, and when they saw good seedlings, they took them out to inquire.

Guard officer Kur led more than 20 human soldiers to maintain order. Although the scene was a bit noisy, everything was under control and there was no disharmony.

Seeing Luo Lun approaching, the residents who were queuing immediately became tense and lowered their heads, not even daring to look directly at him.

Looking at the timid slave residents with numb eyes, Lauren frowned.

But he didn't say much about it, even if he wanted to change the style of the territory, he couldn't change it in a day or two.

All this takes time.

Good day, Lord Laurent.

My lord, I welcome you...

Looking at Dern and Ariel in front of him, Lauren nodded slightly.

How's the census going?

Dern, who had a black beard and beard like a dwarf, said cautiously.

Lord, more than 50 people have been surveyed, but only three of them can read...

After speaking, he gestured to the people sitting behind the table.

Ariel has transferred them to the Ministry of People's Livelihood...

After speaking, he sneaked a few glances at Lauren, as if he was afraid that he would blame him.

Three literate?

Lauren looked at the crowd still queuing up and was speechless.

Calculated in this way, more than 170 people may not even be able to make up ten who can read? ?

There is a saying that he doesn't know when to say it or not...

Do you have talent in construction?

Lauren looked at Ariel.

Other things can be postponed, but rebuilding the arrow tower is imminent, and he has no time to wait for the next time he goes to Decker City to buy slaves.

Lord Lauren, there are a total of thirty-two people who have volunteered to declare that they have experience in building houses, and three others have participated in the construction of arrow towers and city walls in other cities.

Although the experience is not rich, it is enough to repair the arrow tower of the city of Huiyue.

Ariel's weak words made Lauren heave a sigh of relief.

Looking at the area where the girl indicated, on the other side of the line, more than 30 people gathered together, separated from the crowd in line.

Assign them all to the construction department.

In addition, building the arrow tower is a test, and whoever performs best will be awarded the position of Minister of Construction.

Others who perform well can also be hired by the Ministry of Construction and become employees of the city hall.

Once hired, they will automatically get the status of third-class residents, and the city hall pays them normally.

I think they will work hard.

Ariel's eyes lit up, being hired can get rid of slavery? ? This temptation is great! !

I'm afraid that these slave residents will explode with unprecedented enthusiasm.

My lord, maybe if we tell them about your kindness, the effect will be better.

Lauren glanced at Dern who spoke, and nodded slowly.

Ariel, go and preach.

Dern protected Ariel so well, this girl with unlimited potential obviously needs more exercise.

De En looked at Ariel with a smile on his face, his beard trembled, and his heart became even more sour...My lord, why didn't you call me?

Every day he passed, he felt that his daughter was away from him for a day.

Seeing the encouragement in Lauren's eyes, Ariel suddenly had courage in her heart, and turned to walk towards the dozens of people beside her.

A moment later, under the preaching of the girl with a weak voice, the crowd who were still extremely anxious just now burst into an extremely strong call.

Praise Lord Lord!!

Can we really be employees of City Hall? And still get a good salary?

Goddess, this, this is unbelievable!!

Miss Ariel, are you an angel sent by the goddess? Praise you!

Although most people don't know what a third-class resident is, it's better than a slave.

And being an employee of the city hall can still get a normal salary, which is simply beyond their imagination.

All of a sudden, the favorability of these residents towards Ariel and Lauren rose, and hope began to appear in the eyes that were originally dead.

The residents next to them were full of envy after hearing the treatment of the construction workers, and when they didn't even realize it, their hearts became alive.

Since the city hall is willing to hire other low-status slaves and grant them the status of third-class residents.

The great lord may not treat them the same...

Thinking of this, many people's eyes gradually lit up.

Under the circumstances that Roland did not expect, the slave residents who had been lifeless had regained some vitality at this moment.
