Not long after Robert left, Henry took Debra to the slaves' quarters. It was originally full of people, but now most of the remaining people are underage boys and girls. Most adult slaves have become commoners through hard work, and these children are clearly no match for adults, so they are still slaves for the time being. Henry was going to brainwash the children and send them to the academy as the first students. In the future, these people will become the foundation of his rule, and will not be easily bought by other powerful forces.

He said to the female mage, "I think you should know how to choose a mage apprentice. Now I want you to pick as many as you can here, and the rest will not be sent to the academy to learn martial arts, management, commerce, construction, agriculture, navigation, and other professional knowledge. Be kind to them, and these children will be of great use in the future. ”

Debra instantly understood what her master meant, and she looked at the busy little slaves and said, "Yes, they will make this their home." You are their master. I'll train them well, that's what I did with the guards when I was in the Brotherhood. ”

Henry looked at the female mage with some surprise and said, "You've done this before?" It seems that your status in the Brotherhood is not low. This kind of work is usually done by the most trusted people. ”

Debra said with a charming smile on her face, "Because most of the members of the Brotherhood disdain to come into contact with the guards, they discriminate against all warrior professions and consider them far less valuable than a golem. I was the only one who took the job and used a little charm on the guards. It didn't take long for the entire garrison to fill my eyes and ears, and it only took a small hint that they would eradicate the enemy for me. ”

Henry looked at Debra and thought: This woman in the evil camp has a really good grasp of some things, if it weren't for the system controlling her soul, I guess her first reaction would be to kill it quickly. But now you can rest assured that you can leave all the unsightly things in secret to her to do.

"Very good, then the matter is left to you here. The selected apprentices were brought to the Thieves' Guild for Robert to be trained briefly, I don't need to make them thieves, just let them know how to guard against daggers from the dark. Also, remember to keep their minds in check, I don't like someone betraying. Henry said solemnly to the female mage.

Debra bowed deeply and said, "Obey my master, and soon you will have a group of loyal apprentices." ”

Two months passed, and Hawke's fleet made massive purchases in all the cities of the Northlands. A lot of livestock and poultry were brought to the island and distributed to the villagers for raising. The thirty apprentices selected by Debra had begun to learn the basics of magic, and some of the books in Lord Henry's Mansion were available for them to borrow. The other boys and girls were also sent to the school, where Henry's men began to teach them knowledge and martial arts. The ears of wheat in the field had crushed the stalks, and the large fields of spices had already borne fruit.

It was a harvest season, and at Henry's behest, Hawke began to organize a large-scale harvest, and even the people who were building the walls were taken away. Large fields of wheat are harvested and dried, leaving all but a small amount of seeds that are husked and placed in the barn. In many villages, the wheat grains are ground into flour for storage in windmills and watermills. A large number of potatoes were also dug out of the mud, and the quantity was too large to fit in the warehouse. Eventually, Henry consulted with his wife and Hawke and decided to sell it to the merchants.

After harvesting the grain, Henry and some of the requisitioned farmers went to the lakeside of the Emerald Isle and began to pick spices with the inhabitants of the area. The nutmeg fruit is picked and placed in a basket to be taken to an open space to dry, and the pulp and skin are stored separately after drying. After the pepper is picked, it is dried and stored in wooden barrels. After that, dig out the ginger from the soil and wash it to complete the task.

Standing beside Henry, she greedily smelled the spices, and she turned to her husband and said, "My dear, all these spices are going to be sold by my brother?" Wouldn't we be at a loss too much? ”

Henry helped her brush her windswept hair and said, "I'm only going to give half of your brother's production, and keep the rest on the island to sell to attract merchants to come and trade." In this way, our territory can attract more people to come and live, don't you see how empty the whole city is. ”

Shikoudi nodded and said, "Half of the amount is enough for my brother to digest for a while, when are you going to let him come and pull the goods?" ”

Henry looked at the mountains of spices in the warehouse and said to his wife with a mischievous smile: "Don't worry, let's start selling at the market at the dock first." I'm sure the Grand Duke will get the news soon, am I right? ”

Glancoty smiled and kissed her husband on the cheek and said, "You're such a naughty bad guy, but I'm already smitten by you." When the time comes, my brother will definitely run from Baldur's Gate with the fleet. ”

Returning to the Lord's Mansion, Henry found Amy waiting in the living room, as if she had something to do. Henry let go of his wife in his arms and walked over and asked, "Is there something wrong with Amy?" ”

Amy smiled and said, "It's my master of the gold coins, we have already provided a large amount of salt to the Seven Suns Chamber of Commerce, and they just sent over the golden tickets that have been settled in the past few months." After deducting taxes, it is a total of 800,000 gold coins, and the golden ticket is here, so if there is nothing to do, I will go to read the book. ”

Henry took the golden ticket and stroked Amy's long golden hair and said, "You really should be a mage and not a warlock, you have more thirst for knowledge than most mages." Now I'm giving you access to the second half of my study to see all the books there. ”

Amy jumped for joy, she gave Henry a hug, turned around and ran upstairs. Poeti stood by and looked at the girl who was younger than herself, and she knew that her husband liked her very much. But which aristocratic male would not have a few **, and the husband was also very good to himself and did not attack the maids in his house.

She walked over to Henry and said, "Honey, you like Amy very much. ”

Henry nodded and said, "Yes, the Rystan siblings were the first to follow me. And Amy is already a powerful warlock. ”

Shi Kodi smiled and said to her husband: "Then why don't you turn her into a **, only then will she work for you more desperately." Henry looked at his wife and thought, "Yes, Pheren doesn't seem to be monogamous. A person with a strong body of power can have multiple wives or husbands. For example, Ilminster, first the goddess of magic, then the seven daughters of the goddess. Silvermoon City Lord Arazzo also seems to have a lot of husbands and **.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Honey, thank you for the reminder, but Amy is still a little young now, let's talk about it when she is older." ”

Shi Kodi looked at her husband and said seriously: "I know that you will not be an ordinary person in the future, so I am not jealous of how many ** you have outside." As long as you remember that this is your home, it is enough that I will always be your wife. ”

Henry smiled and cupped his wife's face and said, "How could I forget such a beautiful wife." With that, he gave Silky a deep kiss, and the two of them quickly walked back to the room. It didn't take long for there to be a burst of women's ** voices inside.

The next morning, Henry stood on his third-floor balcony overlooking the city. More than 10,000 residents mostly live in the port district, and Robert's union has opened several taverns, casinos, ** and theaters in the entertainment district. Many of the sailors who have just disembarked like to spend the night there. In the future, the city will get bigger and more populated. And all kinds of things will emerge one after another, and a special person is needed to take care of it. Thinking of this, Henry decided to promote Hawke to become a nobleman and also serve as mayor of the city. I believe that the old captain will be very happy when he hears the news. And my recent gold coins are almost enough, you can go to the teacher to buy drawings and materials and start building the mage tower.

After thinking it through, he turned to the butler who was standing quietly behind him, and said, "Now go and tell Hawke, Vaughn, Assenbu, and Cagan to come to me, and let Madame and my mother also attend." ”

The butler bowed and said, "Yes, the Earl, but I am afraid that it will be noon when they arrive, do they need to prepare a sumptuous luncheon?" ”

Henry thought for a moment and said, "Let's prepare together, remember to prepare a few good bottles of wine." When the time comes, there is something important to announce. ”

"Understood, I'll tell someone to do it right away." After saying that, the butler turned and left.

Near noon, Hawke was the first to arrive at the Lord's Palace, and he walked down the hall to see Henry drinking a glass of cold juice. After saluting, he asked, "Earl, is there anything important to inform me of today?" ”

Henry smiled and motioned to the maid next to him to pour a glass for the old captain as well, and said, "Don't worry, I promise it's a good thing." Hawke sat down when he saw that he couldn't ask anything for a while, and began to drink the cold juice slowly. It didn't take long for everyone else to arrive.

When he saw that everyone had arrived, Henry stood up and spoke to everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have called you here today to announce something. Before that, allow me to express my sincere gratitude to all of you, without whom this beautiful city would not be possible. Today I have decided to canonize all of you here as nobles, and my mother and wife are here as witnesses. Hawke, you've followed me since the beginning of your voyage. Most of the city's construction is done under your command. I have decided to knight you, and allow you to establish a manor or house on any part of the island that does not exceed two thousand acres as a hereditary domain. Vaughn and Assenbu canonize you as knights, and you can choose a land of no more than 1,000 acres to build a manor. Cagan, my friend, was the one who led me on my first adventure. I also canonize you as a knight. I don't think the dwarves will be interested in the manor, though, so I've decided to let you choose a mountain as your territory. ”
