Lord of terror
Chapter 169
The two were chatting and laughing, and had already passed two stalls on the snack street. Kunz saw a shop selling fried meat, which smelled delicious, so he went to buy a few skewers and came over to share with the captain.
And players have been "secretly observing" them for a long time.
[The captain is still so handsome! ][QωQ paper man is eternal god! ]
[Who is that new NPC next to him? ][Different handsome. ][This is a new race, right?Orcs? ]
[Looks like a demon. ][Not demons, demons are hostile races in this world. ]
[Where is the Baron? ][Is this new NPC too close to the captain? ]
[Isn't this a bloody love triangle?That would be disgusting. ]
[If it's really a bloody love triangle, I'll quit! ][It's too close, isn't it? ]
[Shoulders rub together! ][Go away! ][This is a game, not a romantic drama! ]
Finally, when Kunz and the captain were side by side, rubbing arms, and eating meat skewers affectionately, some players couldn't help but jumped out [The captain belongs to the Baron Zhengtai! ]
"Well, I think so too." Kunz replied with a smile.
[......]
[What you do doesn't match what you say, okay? ]
Kunz sighed, it's not difficult for the player: "I am the real baron in your mouth, Kunz Monroe."
[Convex(艹盘艹) Do you think we are fools? ! ]
"I'm really Kunz Monrofi."
[Announcement to all players: Your beloved Baron Monrofi has completed his third promotion. After this promotion, his appearance has undergone a small change, so when you see him, don't Acknowledge your mistake︿( ̄︶ ̄)︿
PS: Caring for camp bosses starts with you and me. 】
[......]
(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻ This is called a "small change"? It's not like this in Korea. Is the whole head changed? !
[Ah ah ah!Baron Zhengtai, you have become so handsome! ]
"Thank you."
[Is your hair dyed? ]
"No, unless something happens next time I get promoted, I will always be like this from now on."
[Advanced can also have plastic surgery? ][Will the captain's appearance change in the future? ]
"It's not plastic surgery, it's just that the current appearance has been changed by the influence of the ancestors. They asked you if your appearance will change in the future?"
"My appearance will also change in the future, but it shouldn't be as big as his."
[It's so interesting. ][Otherwise the world only recognizes blood. ]
[(*^▽^*) Baron Zhengtai, I will call you Baron Devil from now on, you look like a BOSS. ]
[I still want to be called Zhengtai Baron, the contrast is cute. ]
[Wow~ The captain made a lot of money. He used to be a little black-haired milk dog, but now he is a big red-haired wolf. ]
Kunz: "..." Thank you!Has been imaged!
The players gathered around Kunz to watch the news, but because of Kunz's training over the past few months, they all kept a safe distance from the two.
The current players are still very good. Although there will be an upper limit on the number of online players in the future, these tested players can come up as long as they go online.
When Kunz and the captain wandered to the restaurant under the watchful eyes of more and more spectators, it was almost dinner time.
Viscount Kirke was already waiting here, and when Kunz saw him, he was taken aback.
Viscount Kirke has lost a lot of weight, and he is also an extraordinary person. Logically speaking, his body shape is not so easy to change.Especially after arriving in Monroe, Raimondo, who is in charge of taking care of them, will definitely not starve their family.
That's not hunger, this kind of thinness can only be due to psychological reasons.
Kunz subconsciously gave the captain a surprised look: Is he really so scared?
The captain gave Kunz a blank stare: I don't know what he thinks.
"Go, I'll go eat candy." The captain patted Kunz. He was not going to accompany him on such a trivial matter, but before he left, he still told him, "Be patient with that viscount, you will meet him in the future." All kinds of people, what you encounter in him, you will also encounter in others. Talking to him will be your valuable experience." Before Kunz can reply, he has already taken the first step Into the dining room - with Kunz for so long, he really missed those real honey.
"Hi, Viscount Kirke."
"I heard that you have been promoted, congratulations." It should have been told by Raimondo who was resting on the spot before coming here. Anton looked at Kunz calmly, but he did not show any fear.
The two entered the restaurant, and the deep-sea fish came out to greet [Baron Zhengtai, congratulations on growing up again. ]
"Thank you."
[We recently set up a box here, come with me. ]
When they arrived at the box on the second floor, the two of them sat down. After the food was served, Kunz noticed that Viscount Kirke’s was different. His eyes did not glance at the food at all, and he did not look at Kunz, but stared at the wall. Wood flowers as decoration.
Kunz thought for a long time how to persuade Viscount Kirke with more cryptic and softer social rhetoric, but found that he hadn't thought of it, so let's cut to the chase: "You don't need to be afraid, you can bring your wife and children back to the Viscount, I just want Geji Geji to open the crack."
Anton's expression cracked, and the fear deeply buried by him surged out, he hurriedly stood up and bowed to salute: "Please believe me, I really want to be a member of the Barony of Monroe The life here is comfortable and comfortable, and I have no intention of returning to the Viscounty at all."
"...Do you think I can believe what you say? Please stop saying that and tell me the truth. Otherwise, I will think you have some bad thoughts." Since it is good If you can't speak nice words, then scare them.Kunz felt...does he want to learn speaking skills from the captain and Wandian?
"!"
Anton couldn't keep calm anymore, but it wasn't pure fear, but also anger.His lips trembled twice, but he still suppressed himself. He lowered his head and said sincerely: "Dear Baron Monrofi, isn't it enough for you to just have one ending? If you want to kill someone, you can do so now." Just kill me. My children, my wife, they are childish or weak, they will not pose any threat to you."
Anton lowered his head in a very special way. He lowered his head very low, exposing his entire neck.In terms of aristocratic etiquette, this action is equivalent to "allowing to be slaughtered", "confessing guilt", and "willing to die calmly". It is equivalent to the defeated party in a wolf pack revealing its belly and neck to the winner.
This is really incomprehensible. Kunz just wants to know the reason and doesn't want him to die.
"I will immigrate ordinary civilians in the Viscounty of Kirke, including the people of the five knight villages. Some will be moved to Monroe, and will be distributed to three cities, while the other will be moved to Kerke Town. I Administrators are needed, sheriffs are needed, and patrolling guards are needed. You and your knights are clearly suitable for the job. Not long ago, when I thought you really wanted to stay in Monroe for a more comfortable life, I I really thought so, but it turns out that as a baron, I let a viscount... I was arrogant, and I apologize to you."
Kunz stood up. There was no way to eat this meal, but he would let the deep-sea fish be packed later, so that food should not be wasted.
"There will be no emigration. The food for compensation has been prepared. You and your knights, as well as your wives and children, can leave Monroe at any time. Of course, starting from three days later, your accommodation and food expenses will be No longer provided by Monroe Fei. Please manage your time well."
Kunz went straight to the door. Anton sat in his original position, his eyes rolled around, and sweat was dripping from his forehead. He was now caught in a fierce ideological struggle.
During this time in Mengluofei, although he was frightened, his material life was indeed very good.The building they live in is tall, solid, and warm. The floor will not make creaking sounds, and they don't have to worry about mice jumping from the ceiling to their faces when they sleep at night.
And the food you eat every day, say a disrespectful word - God would be jealous of him if he knew what that food tasted like.
The sons and daughters were a little scared when they first came, but they quickly made friends, those Geji Geji.Sometimes when their appearance is seen by their wives, they will smile in surprise.And most of them have a good temper, and they won't get angry if they are hugged and bitten by their naughty little daughter.
Of course, the younger daughter would not do that anymore, and she also sincerely apologized to those gejigeji.
Although there is a language barrier, the children are happy to communicate with Geji Geji by making gestures.
Later, Anton found out that most of those gejigeji were superhumans, which made him even more impressed by their good temper, and also... feared, not afraid of them, he was afraid of their summoners, Meng Luofei's Master, the young Baron.
"Please, please wait!" Anton stood up and stopped Kunz who had already walked to the door, "Please wait! I am willing to be honest! I, I want to stay in Monroe!"
When Kunz came back, he sat back at the dining table and said blankly: "I'm very happy that we can be honest with each other."
Sitting down again, Anton didn't start to be "candid" so quickly, he didn't know where to start.
"You are very powerful." Kunz looked at Viscount Kirke, he was not so much flattering, but more like saying to himself, "Dining with you for the first time in Mushroom Town was really a pleasant experience. But then, I found that I couldn't bring you any help. This made me feel a little lost. For a lord and noble, it is not a good thing to have a powerful neighbor. Especially when this neighbor was not that strong...
Robbers will bypass each other's territory, but there will be more merchants. Even tax collectors will collect less tax from each other and increase my tax. "
Kunz has not seen robbers yet, but the team of slave caravans pretending to be "art dealers", according to the captain, they often switch seamlessly with robbers.Businessman... He was worried last year, but now there is no need to worry at all.As for the tax collector, he didn't worry about it at all this year. Even if those favored people didn't come, he wouldn't let those greedy lice suck blood this year.
And similar things didn't happen, but they have already happened. The slave traders were on the border of the Viscounty of Kirk. The people of the Moorfein family who went to dig the stones of the Famera Labyrinth and the Goblin Tribe were also in the underground den. with.Kunz didn't believe that these people would be so cautious if he was the only baron in the baron.
He also thought that after killing the cracks, the small nobles would inevitably face the pressure of the big nobles in the early stage, the world would be chaotic, and a large-scale war might even break out.
However, he didn't think that before it started to spread around, and before it started to open cracks in other people's homes, it would already have a bad influence on his neighbors.
He apologized slightly, but it was only for him personally, for Viscount Kirke.Between the death of the whole world and the tragedy of a few people, which one should we choose?
It's like there are people on the fork of the railroad track on Blue Star. If you are the train driver, it's a question of which side to choose.Both choices are wrong and both are right.
Kunz feels that he is lucky, because his choice is not a game between 51 and 49, but a very few and all. To make this choice, there is no need for ideological struggle.
"I have some resentment towards you, and I'm also a little jealous. But I know what you paid for that choice. I..." He paused, hesitated for a long time before saying the next thing, "I think The prosperity of Monroe will not last long, I want to take my family and leave as soon as possible, but at that time, you told me that you can pave the way for me and build a castle for me. I feel...you are crazy."
Kunz froze for a moment, and wanted to ask him why he thought prosperity would not last long, but Viscount Kirk had already continued to talk.Kunz also figured it out for himself—he thought that all the changes in Monroe were brought about by the captain.If the captain is unlucky in the future, everything about Meng Luofei will indeed collapse.For outsiders, the captain's misfortune is certain.
There are also paving roads and building castles... Kunz knew how naive he was back then. He thought he was being honest, but he gave too much all of a sudden.On the contrary, it scares people. After all, according to the words of a flower grower, the thinking of a cautious person is "to be courteous for nothing is to rape or steal."They didn't have much friendship at first, and Kunz went to the Viscounty of Kirk to rob last year, and his sudden appearance would really only make people suspicious.
"Actually, I still think you're a little too excited."
Not a little bit, but a billion bit, right?
"I want to go, but I dare not. You proposed to build roads and castles for Viscount Kirke. Isn't that... an expression of ownership?"
"I just want to exchange at equal value." Kunz's explanation made him feel powerless.
Anton looked disbelieving: "Equivalent? Do you think that is equivalent?"
Kunz remembered that Viscount Kirk also said at the time that things like killing low-level cracks are only welcome for low-level nobles.At the time, Kunz thought that the other party was just being polite, but obviously not. The other party's deeper meaning was "You give too much, which makes me panic".It's not that he doesn't know the meaning of the latter, but he didn't care at the time.I think, can I still send hatred by giving things by myself?
Kunz felt that he was actually a little drifting, right?to impose one's will on others...
Kunz's heart was beating like a drum, vibrating in his chest, his face was hot, and he wanted to find a hole to get into it in shame.
"I'm sorry to scare you. The road construction is also a good thing for me. My Geji Geji can reach Kirk faster, and the merchants go up from the Silver Tower River and enter the Germer River It is the best way to go to Kirk and then to Monroe."
Anton opened his mouth slightly in surprise. He said these words with a mortal heart, and also because of depression, right?For such a long time, he didn't even dare to tell his wife that everything was bored in his heart, and he lived every day as if it was the last day of his life, but now the Baron Monroe is really explaining to him and discussing with him, this Is it really not what he thought?
"Indeed, apart from Tarian City, we have the most small merchants in Kerke." He calmed down a bit and nodded to Kunz.
"As for asking you to stay... This matter was actually proposed by you yourself first."
It is Anton who is blushing now, so this Baron Monrofi really didn't intend to annex Kerke, because he thought too much, and then gave the territory away?
The two of them stopped talking. To avoid the embarrassment of the scene, they finally focused on the dry rice. For a while, only the sound of chewing and swallowing was left in the private room.
After more than ten minutes, Kunz suddenly asked, "Are you going back to Kirk?"
Anton subconsciously wanted to say, if allowed, he wanted to go back.But the meat in his mouth blocked him for a while, and then he swallowed the words along with the meat: "Please allow me to think for a while."
What he thinks about most is the geji geji. He once counted the geji geji to relieve stress. At first he thought there were only two or three thousand.But then the kids took them to Selfie to see the crack and they didn't get close to the crack at all, there was too much geeky gag.
How many grids are there?Twenty thousand?Or thirty thousand?Only more, not less.
In the past, he thought that as long as Selfie Manton died, Monrofei would collapse, and he was completely thrown into the cesspit.As long as Baron Meng Luofei himself and his summoned objects are present, it is inevitable that Meng Luofei will rise strongly in his generation.And once the surrounding low-level cracks burst, it will become inevitable for him to expand his power to the surroundings.
At that time, he even rejoiced that he showed his loyalty first and spared the lives of his family.
Now the baron has shown gentle kindness, but can he really return to Kirk safely?No, Kirke, who is so close to Monroe, will definitely become a part of Monroe in the future, whether Baron Monroe himself is willing or not.
When Anton was a child, he always heard his father say: "If there are too many noodles in the basin, when it rises, it will squeeze out of the basin. So, don't put too much noodles in one basin."
He always felt that this sentence was very reasonable, and now he felt even more so.
"You said that you wanted to immigrate people from Viscounty Kirk to Monroe?"
"Correct."
"What are you going to do with them? Make them slaves?"
"Have you seen our slaves in Monroe?"
"...I've seen it." Kunz disappeared for more than half a month. Excluding the time to go to and from Kirk, Anton went to Selfie. Of course, he also saw it in other places.
Especially as the weather got warmer, the slaves began to work outdoors again.The first batch of people who want to transfer slaves to tenants have indeed gone out to cultivate and fertilize. They were also taken to see the land to be allocated to them. It has been agreed that they will be able to farm in late April at the latest.
Since the sharecropper's quarters have not yet been built, the group will still be living in slave quarters until this fall.The slaves can see their companions leave with smiles on their faces every day, and then come back with smiles on their faces.They gathered around these companions, and listening to them talk about doing farm work, or digging out frogs with a hoe, could make them listen to it ten times and eight times without getting bored.
Even the laziest person is motivated now.After all, even the real fools know that this is an opportunity that past generations have missed.As long as they work hard, they are not slaves, they are tenants, and they are human beings!
It is conceivable how hard Anton saw the slaves working. They worked hard and did not have the laziness and depression of normal slaves at all.
Moreover, the physical condition of those slaves is really good. Both men and women have bulging muscles, and some of them are as big as a knight's entourage. Even the citizens in the city rarely have such healthy and strong civilians.
When Anton thought about it, he became even more depressed.The slaves of other people's families are happier than the commoners who are loved by their own family.
"In the early days, they must be restricted or even punished when they come here. We have a lot of rules here." Seeing his expression change, Kunz said proactively.
Anton nodded. There are many rules here. When he first came, Raimondo followed him and reminded them all the time.From not being able to spit and throw garbage anywhere, to going to the toilet to a fixed place, to walking on the right side, and not being able to break flowers on the side of the road.
For a while, he even felt that the man was deliberately finding fault and insulting him. If he hadn't been afraid of Kunz, he would have chopped that man down.The knights he brought also had some troubles with the attendants who took care of them, and some knights wanted to find slaves to solve their needs, but of course they were beaten and put in prison for "detention".
After a few more days, they were sure that they didn't deliberately make trouble for them, but that Meng Luofei really had so many things.
The gejigejis obeyed the rules, the slaves followed the rules, and of course they had to follow the rules.
"this is necessary."
"Recently, a favored person is a guest at Meng Luofei... The drinkers will open a tavern here." The peasant woman has already arrived, and the Herrscher should also come, as well as the scepter and others. I don't know if they will be here by then What to build, Kunz felt that there was no need to say more, but the drinker had to say, this basically means that he has won the approval of the upper class.
Because the captain's severed connection with the upper echelon was re-established.Monroe Fei used to be an isolated island, but not anymore.
"This..." Anton opened his mouth. He really wanted to ask how Kunz's ability to shake the core of the lord's nobles was recognized by the spokesperson of the nobles' interests?But that would be reckless. "Congratulations, Baron."
And players have been "secretly observing" them for a long time.
[The captain is still so handsome! ][QωQ paper man is eternal god! ]
[Who is that new NPC next to him? ][Different handsome. ][This is a new race, right?Orcs? ]
[Looks like a demon. ][Not demons, demons are hostile races in this world. ]
[Where is the Baron? ][Is this new NPC too close to the captain? ]
[Isn't this a bloody love triangle?That would be disgusting. ]
[If it's really a bloody love triangle, I'll quit! ][It's too close, isn't it? ]
[Shoulders rub together! ][Go away! ][This is a game, not a romantic drama! ]
Finally, when Kunz and the captain were side by side, rubbing arms, and eating meat skewers affectionately, some players couldn't help but jumped out [The captain belongs to the Baron Zhengtai! ]
"Well, I think so too." Kunz replied with a smile.
[......]
[What you do doesn't match what you say, okay? ]
Kunz sighed, it's not difficult for the player: "I am the real baron in your mouth, Kunz Monroe."
[Convex(艹盘艹) Do you think we are fools? ! ]
"I'm really Kunz Monrofi."
[Announcement to all players: Your beloved Baron Monrofi has completed his third promotion. After this promotion, his appearance has undergone a small change, so when you see him, don't Acknowledge your mistake︿( ̄︶ ̄)︿
PS: Caring for camp bosses starts with you and me. 】
[......]
(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻ This is called a "small change"? It's not like this in Korea. Is the whole head changed? !
[Ah ah ah!Baron Zhengtai, you have become so handsome! ]
"Thank you."
[Is your hair dyed? ]
"No, unless something happens next time I get promoted, I will always be like this from now on."
[Advanced can also have plastic surgery? ][Will the captain's appearance change in the future? ]
"It's not plastic surgery, it's just that the current appearance has been changed by the influence of the ancestors. They asked you if your appearance will change in the future?"
"My appearance will also change in the future, but it shouldn't be as big as his."
[It's so interesting. ][Otherwise the world only recognizes blood. ]
[(*^▽^*) Baron Zhengtai, I will call you Baron Devil from now on, you look like a BOSS. ]
[I still want to be called Zhengtai Baron, the contrast is cute. ]
[Wow~ The captain made a lot of money. He used to be a little black-haired milk dog, but now he is a big red-haired wolf. ]
Kunz: "..." Thank you!Has been imaged!
The players gathered around Kunz to watch the news, but because of Kunz's training over the past few months, they all kept a safe distance from the two.
The current players are still very good. Although there will be an upper limit on the number of online players in the future, these tested players can come up as long as they go online.
When Kunz and the captain wandered to the restaurant under the watchful eyes of more and more spectators, it was almost dinner time.
Viscount Kirke was already waiting here, and when Kunz saw him, he was taken aback.
Viscount Kirke has lost a lot of weight, and he is also an extraordinary person. Logically speaking, his body shape is not so easy to change.Especially after arriving in Monroe, Raimondo, who is in charge of taking care of them, will definitely not starve their family.
That's not hunger, this kind of thinness can only be due to psychological reasons.
Kunz subconsciously gave the captain a surprised look: Is he really so scared?
The captain gave Kunz a blank stare: I don't know what he thinks.
"Go, I'll go eat candy." The captain patted Kunz. He was not going to accompany him on such a trivial matter, but before he left, he still told him, "Be patient with that viscount, you will meet him in the future." All kinds of people, what you encounter in him, you will also encounter in others. Talking to him will be your valuable experience." Before Kunz can reply, he has already taken the first step Into the dining room - with Kunz for so long, he really missed those real honey.
"Hi, Viscount Kirke."
"I heard that you have been promoted, congratulations." It should have been told by Raimondo who was resting on the spot before coming here. Anton looked at Kunz calmly, but he did not show any fear.
The two entered the restaurant, and the deep-sea fish came out to greet [Baron Zhengtai, congratulations on growing up again. ]
"Thank you."
[We recently set up a box here, come with me. ]
When they arrived at the box on the second floor, the two of them sat down. After the food was served, Kunz noticed that Viscount Kirke’s was different. His eyes did not glance at the food at all, and he did not look at Kunz, but stared at the wall. Wood flowers as decoration.
Kunz thought for a long time how to persuade Viscount Kirke with more cryptic and softer social rhetoric, but found that he hadn't thought of it, so let's cut to the chase: "You don't need to be afraid, you can bring your wife and children back to the Viscount, I just want Geji Geji to open the crack."
Anton's expression cracked, and the fear deeply buried by him surged out, he hurriedly stood up and bowed to salute: "Please believe me, I really want to be a member of the Barony of Monroe The life here is comfortable and comfortable, and I have no intention of returning to the Viscounty at all."
"...Do you think I can believe what you say? Please stop saying that and tell me the truth. Otherwise, I will think you have some bad thoughts." Since it is good If you can't speak nice words, then scare them.Kunz felt...does he want to learn speaking skills from the captain and Wandian?

Anton lowered his head in a very special way. He lowered his head very low, exposing his entire neck.In terms of aristocratic etiquette, this action is equivalent to "allowing to be slaughtered", "confessing guilt", and "willing to die calmly". It is equivalent to the defeated party in a wolf pack revealing its belly and neck to the winner.
This is really incomprehensible. Kunz just wants to know the reason and doesn't want him to die.
"I will immigrate ordinary civilians in the Viscounty of Kirke, including the people of the five knight villages.

You and your knights are clearly suitable for the job. Not long ago, when I thought you really wanted to stay in Monroe for a more comfortable life, I I really thought so, but it turns out that as a baron, I let a viscount...

And the food you eat every day, say a disrespectful word - God would be jealous of him if he knew what that food tasted like.
The sons and daughters were a little scared when they first came, but they quickly made friends, those Geji Geji.Sometimes when their appearance is seen by their wives, they will smile in surprise.And most of them have a good temper, and they won't get angry if they are hugged and bitten by their naughty little daughter.
Of course, the younger daughter would not do that anymore, and she also sincerely apologized to those gejigeji.
Although there is a language barrier, the children are happy to communicate with Geji Geji by making gestures.
Later, Anton found out that most of those gejigeji were superhumans, which made him even more impressed by their good temper, and also... feared, not afraid of them, he was afraid of their summoners, Meng Luofei's Master, the young Baron.
"Please, please wait!" Anton stood up and stopped Kunz who had already walked to the door, "Please wait! I am willing to be honest! I, I want to stay in Monroe!"
When Kunz came back, he sat back at the dining table and said blankly: "I'm very happy that we can be honest with each other."
Sitting down again, Anton didn't start to be "candid" so quickly, he didn't know where to start.
"You are very powerful." Kunz looked at Viscount Kirke, he was not so much flattering, but more like saying to himself, "Dining with you for the first time in Mushroom Town was really a pleasant experience. But then, I found that I couldn't bring you any help. This made me feel a little lost. For a lord and noble, it is not a good thing to have a powerful neighbor. Especially when this neighbor was not that strong...

However, he didn't think that before it started to spread around, and before it started to open cracks in other people's homes, it would already have a bad influence on his neighbors.
He apologized slightly, but it was only for him personally, for Viscount Kirke.Between the death of the whole world and the tragedy of a few people, which one should we choose?
It's like there are people on the fork of the railroad track on Blue Star. If you are the train driver, it's a question of which side to choose.Both choices are wrong and both are right.
Kunz feels that he is lucky, because his choice is not a game between 51 and 49, but a very few and all. To make this choice, there is no need for ideological struggle.

After all, according to the words of a flower grower, the thinking of a cautious person is "to be courteous for nothing is to rape or steal."They didn't have much friendship at first, and Kunz went to the Viscounty of Kirk to rob last year, and his sudden appearance would really only make people suspicious.
"Actually, I still think you're a little too excited."
Not a little bit, but a billion bit, right?
"I want to go, but I dare not. You proposed to build roads and castles for Viscount Kirke. Isn't that... an expression of ownership?"
"I just want to exchange at equal value." Kunz's explanation made him feel powerless.
Anton looked disbelieving: "Equivalent? Do you think that is equivalent?"
Kunz remembered that Viscount Kirk also said at the time that things like killing low-level cracks are only welcome for low-level nobles.At the time, Kunz thought that the other party was just being polite, but obviously not. The other party's deeper meaning was "You give too much, which makes me panic".It's not that he doesn't know the meaning of the latter, but he didn't care at the time.I think, can I still send hatred by giving things by myself?
Kunz felt that he was actually a little drifting, right?to impose one's will on others...
Kunz's heart was beating like a drum, vibrating in his chest, his face was hot, and he wanted to find a hole to get into it in shame.
"I'm sorry to scare you. The road construction is also a good thing for me. My Geji Geji can reach Kirk faster, and the merchants go up from the Silver Tower River and enter the Germer River It is the best way to go to Kirk and then to Monroe."
Anton opened his mouth slightly in surprise. He said these words with a mortal heart, and also because of depression, right?For such a long time, he didn't even dare to tell his wife that everything was bored in his heart, and he lived every day as if it was the last day of his life, but now the Baron Monroe is really explaining to him and discussing with him, this Is it really not what he thought?
"Indeed, apart from Tarian City, we have the most small merchants in Kerke." He calmed down a bit and nodded to Kunz.
"As for asking you to stay... This matter was actually proposed by you yourself first."
It is Anton who is blushing now, so this Baron Monrofi really didn't intend to annex Kerke, because he thought too much, and then gave the territory away?
The two of them stopped talking. To avoid the embarrassment of the scene, they finally focused on the dry rice. For a while, only the sound of chewing and swallowing was left in the private room.
After more than ten minutes, Kunz suddenly asked, "Are you going back to Kirk?"
Anton subconsciously wanted to say, if allowed, he wanted to go back.But the meat in his mouth blocked him for a while, and then he swallowed the words along with the meat: "Please allow me to think for a while."
What he thinks about most is the geji geji. He once counted the geji geji to relieve stress. At first he thought there were only two or three thousand.But then the kids took them to Selfie to see the crack and they didn't get close to the crack at all, there was too much geeky gag.
How many grids are there?Twenty thousand?Or thirty thousand?Only more, not less.
In the past, he thought that as long as Selfie Manton died, Monrofei would collapse, and he was completely thrown into the cesspit.As long as Baron Meng Luofei himself and his summoned objects are present, it is inevitable that Meng Luofei will rise strongly in his generation.And once the surrounding low-level cracks burst, it will become inevitable for him to expand his power to the surroundings.
At that time, he even rejoiced that he showed his loyalty first and spared the lives of his family.
Now the baron has shown gentle kindness, but can he really return to Kirk safely?No, Kirke, who is so close to Monroe, will definitely become a part of Monroe in the future, whether Baron Monroe himself is willing or not.
When Anton was a child, he always heard his father say: "If there are too many noodles in the basin, when it rises, it will squeeze out of the basin. So, don't put too much noodles in one basin."
He always felt that this sentence was very reasonable, and now he felt even more so.
"You said that you wanted to immigrate people from Viscounty Kirk to Monroe?"
"Correct."
"What are you going to do with them? Make them slaves?"
"Have you seen our slaves in Monroe?"
"...I've seen it." Kunz disappeared for more than half a month. Excluding the time to go to and from Kirk, Anton went to Selfie. Of course, he also saw it in other places.
Especially as the weather got warmer, the slaves began to work outdoors again.The first batch of people who want to transfer slaves to tenants have indeed gone out to cultivate and fertilize. They were also taken to see the land to be allocated to them. It has been agreed that they will be able to farm in late April at the latest.
Since the sharecropper's quarters have not yet been built, the group will still be living in slave quarters until this fall.The slaves can see their companions leave with smiles on their faces every day, and then come back with smiles on their faces.They gathered around these companions, and listening to them talk about doing farm work, or digging out frogs with a hoe, could make them listen to it ten times and eight times without getting bored.
Even the laziest person is motivated now.After all, even the real fools know that this is an opportunity that past generations have missed.As long as they work hard, they are not slaves, they are tenants, and they are human beings!
It is conceivable how hard Anton saw the slaves working. They worked hard and did not have the laziness and depression of normal slaves at all.
Moreover, the physical condition of those slaves is really good. Both men and women have bulging muscles, and some of them are as big as a knight's entourage. Even the citizens in the city rarely have such healthy and strong civilians.
When Anton thought about it, he became even more depressed.The slaves of other people's families are happier than the commoners who are loved by their own family.
"In the early days, they must be restricted or even punished when they come here. We have a lot of rules here." Seeing his expression change, Kunz said proactively.
Anton nodded. There are many rules here. When he first came, Raimondo followed him and reminded them all the time.From not being able to spit and throw garbage anywhere, to going to the toilet to a fixed place, to walking on the right side, and not being able to break flowers on the side of the road.
For a while, he even felt that the man was deliberately finding fault and insulting him. If he hadn't been afraid of Kunz, he would have chopped that man down.The knights he brought also had some troubles with the attendants who took care of them, and some knights wanted to find slaves to solve their needs, but of course they were beaten and put in prison for "detention".
After a few more days, they were sure that they didn't deliberately make trouble for them, but that Meng Luofei really had so many things.
The gejigejis obeyed the rules, the slaves followed the rules, and of course they had to follow the rules.
"this is necessary."
"Recently, a favored person is a guest at Meng Luofei... The drinkers will open a tavern here." The peasant woman has already arrived, and the Herrscher should also come, as well as the scepter and others. I don't know if they will be here by then What to build, Kunz felt that there was no need to say more, but the drinker had to say, this basically means that he has won the approval of the upper class.
Because the captain's severed connection with the upper echelon was re-established.Monroe Fei used to be an isolated island, but not anymore.
"This..." Anton opened his mouth. He really wanted to ask how Kunz's ability to shake the core of the lord's nobles was recognized by the spokesperson of the nobles' interests?But that would be reckless. "Congratulations, Baron."
