The promise of slow wear for the rest of your life

The total area of ​​the woodland is huge, almost occupying half of Thorn City.

Don't say it's just for the more than a thousand elves to live in it now, even if there are another eight thousand elves living here, it will never look crowded.

The elves are very comfortable living in it.

Some of the elves who were dying when they came here have now recovered.

Perhaps it was because most of the elves had been cruelly treated by the human race, and very few of them were willing to go out of the forest to meet outsiders.

This also directly led to the fact that the long street that Arnold ordered people to build on the edge of the woodland became a decoration.

Arnold would not let his hard work go to waste, so he sent someone to invite a few elves who were older, had higher status, and had more power to speak.

I won't go into details here one by one.

All in all, Arnold spent most of the day focusing on "the current situation and future development of the elves", spent countless words, and finally persuaded those elves to accept. The current situation where the clans are mixed in Thorn City.

Moreover, Arnold also made them promise that they would bravely lead the tribe out of the woodland in the future and make more contacts with the leaders of various tribes in the city.

The reasons given were not only very down-to-earth, but also made it impossible for those elves to refuse.

In order to get them to agree to this matter, Arnold first explained to them emphatically where the fresh fruits and vegetables that the thousands of elves living in the forest come from every day, and then emphatically explained to them , if things go on like this, how worrying the financial situation in the territory will be.

In short, he almost directly stated that if they continue to hide in the woodland like this and do nothing to produce, then the thorn lord who does not produce too many fresh fruits and vegetables in his territory may soon be unable to support them up.

The elves really couldn't refuse such a reason.

Since then, the long streets that Arnold specially asked people to build have finally welcomed their owners.

Some elves opened a hand-woven shop in it, and some elves opened a book shop and painting shop in it.

There are also elves who not only bravely stepped out of the woodland, but also bravely walked out of Thorn City and entered the Thorn Academy.

Even the elves carefully studied the methods of growing fresh fruits and vegetables, determined to let the tribesmen eat the food grown in Thorn Ridge.

In short, in order to obey the king's order, adapt to the mixed life, integrate into the various ethnic groups in the city, save resources and open up the flow, and earn gold coins to create income for the elves, these elves have worked very hard.

It was not until this time that Arnold received the completion notification of the main task [-] and main task [-] issued by the super-level system.

According to the boy's voice system, he also completed these two main tasks very well.

Not only rescued the surviving elves, but also rekindled the hope of life for the surviving elves.

And while unsealing the seal of the spring of life, planting the tree of life, and building a shelter for the surviving elves, it completely eliminated the hidden danger of the elves repeating the same mistakes and being destroyed again because of the spring of life.

Therefore, the completion of these two mainline tasks has received the best rating.

And the total amount of time and space coin rewards he can get is as high as 40.

With the 40 space-time coins in the account, it finally made up for the space-time coins that Arnold had spent before.

While Arnold was very satisfied, he couldn't help but pay more attention to the remaining three tasks that were still in progress.

On this day, after Kodd finished talking about the territorial government affairs, Arnold mentioned to him that he wanted to train Elrigett's son Brinas as the successor of Thorn Ridge.

When Ke De heard this for the first time, he couldn't help being stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.

As soon as he came back to his senses, Ke De was shocked and said: "Master, this is not good."

"What's wrong?" Arnold thought that this was not good, referring to the matter of crossing Eligott, and then said:

"You also know that Eligot's character is too gentle, lacks self-knowledge, and does not care about the consequences. Filial piety is commendable, but the ability to manage is too poor, and he is responsible but too soft-hearted."

"I can't help but listen to one side and believe in another, and he's too emotional. With his temperament, he is not suitable to be a lord, but more suitable to be the woodcarving artist he most wants to be."

"In comparison, Brinas is only eight years old, but his character is more decisive than him, and he is also very smart and sensible. If we start training from now on, we will definitely become a qualified heir to the Lord of Thorn Ridge in the future .”

Ke De knew that Arnold had misunderstood, and hurriedly said: "Although that is the case. But their identities are not justified after all! If the master wants to cultivate heirs, he should cultivate your parents and children."

Anol was slightly stunned, then smiled and shook his head and said: "I told you earlier that I don't plan to marry anyone, so how can there be parent-child training in this way."

After the words fell, Arnold paused for a moment, and when Cod was stunned, he continued: "As for the identities of Elrigett and Brinas, they are not a problem in my opinion."

"One of them is the son of the previous lord of Thorn Ridge, and the other is the grandson of the previous lord of Thorn Ridge. It is not a violation of the kingdom's law for any one of them to inherit Thorn Ridge."

Cod hesitated to speak, "That's what I said. But..."

Anol frowned slightly: "But what?"

Ke De hesitated again and again before saying: "Master, have you made up your mind to train Brinas as the heir?"

Anol nodded immediately: "Yes."

Looking at his face without any hesitation, Ke De finally made up his mind and said, "Then, before that, there is one thing that you must understand clearly."

If Anol felt something, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"About Elligot's life experience." Cod took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Master, this matter is related to the reputation of the old lord, and I hope you don't want to spread it."

Arnold nodded in response, quietly listening to him tell the biggest secret of Burt's family word by word.

"Eliget is actually not the old lord's biological son, but an orphan picked up by the old lord when he inspected the village that was brutally attacked by ogres."

"The old lord's wife had already passed away at that time, and the old lord was also very old and had no children. At that time, because he was worried that the title and territory of the Burt family would be taken back by the kingdom after his death, he declared to the outside world that the child It was born to the girl he wanted to marry again, but unfortunately, that girl was not blessed, and died of dystocia after giving birth to the child."

"For this reason, the old lord also announced to the outside world that he had added the girl's name to the genealogy, prompting Eligot to have a more formal status as the heir to the territory."

"In the past, no one knew about this matter except my father, who knew the old lord's whereabouts best. Now, no one knows about it except you and me."

"My father told me about this before he died. He wanted me to confess to you when you were tempted to train Eligot and his heirs as heirs. It will prevent you from discovering abnormalities in the future and angering them."

Anol patiently listened to him finish the secret matter, only nodded slightly to show that he knew, and said nothing else.

He neither gave up the idea of ​​cultivating Brinas as his heir because of this, nor did he blame Butler Kord for concealing the matter.

Seeing this situation, Ke De secretly rejoiced, but also couldn't help worrying about his master's lifelong event.

Seeing that the heir has been selected and cultivated, Ke De also had to completely believe at this time that his master really did not intend to marry anyone.

Ke De wants to fulfill his father's last wish, and also hopes that his master can be accompanied by someone, but unfortunately he can only think about it.

After getting along for so many years, Ke De knew that his master was one-sided, so no matter how much he thought about it, he would not dare to go against his master's wishes and take the initiative to match him.

So this day, Corder still spent in full of melancholy.

Eligot knew that he was not suitable to be the heir to the lord, so after hearing about Arnold's plan, he never felt dissatisfied.

And he also sent his eldest son Brinas to Arnold very simply, euphemistically saying: Precepts and deeds are the best way to cultivate heirs.

His wife, Lucia, was busy taking care of their youngest daughter and their third son, and never objected to it.

Since then, Arnold has had a follower behind him.

Arnold invited many famous teachers to teach him, and taught him how to deal with the territorial government in his spare time.

The little guy has a smart mind and a strong ability to absorb new knowledge, but after a few months, he will be able to take the place of Arnold and handle some irrelevant territorial government affairs.

Not only did Arnold have no awareness of child labor abuse, but he even gradually let go of more territorial government affairs and handed them over to the little guy for practice.

Just as Arnold's task of being the next successor of the Bert family was going smoothly, Thorn Ridge, which was famous throughout the ancient continent, suddenly ushered in the presence of the new king of Kelan Kingdom.

At the same time, Arnold finally met the old acquaintance of the original owner, the third princess Heerna who came with her.

After careful study, the third princess is now nearly 40 years old, and has already been married, so she should be called "Duchess of Lister".

King Francia is more than [-] years old now, but he has never been married.

Arnold was really a little confused. The purpose of these two noble people coming to Thorn Ridge together did not prevent him from ordering people to entertain them warmly.

Inside the lord's mansion of Thorn City.

Arnold hosted a banquet here to entertain the king and three princesses who came from afar.

After the banquet, Arnold cordially invited the two distinguished guests to stay in the guest courtyard of the Lord's Mansion.

These were just polite words, but unexpectedly, those two agreed without any objection.

As a last resort, Arnold had no choice but to guide them to the guest house to rest.

As the host, Arnold couldn't leave, so he had to stay in the lord's mansion in the city that night.

Orgus did not want to see the king, so he never showed up, and remained in the castle of the manor outside the city.

That night, after Arnold washed up, he was just about to fall asleep when he heard a message from Nick: "The Duchess of Lister sent someone to ask the master to go to the guest house for a while."

Because of that person's noble status, he was an existence that Arnold could not afford to offend on the surface, so he had to put on his clothes again, and followed the maid sent by the other party to the guest courtyard.
