Chapter 12: The New Lord of the Sorrowful Wind Realm (Part I)

The structure of the plough is not complicated, but no mage has ever whimsically helped a farmer to make such a thing, and most scholars look down on farmers, even those who study crops only think about increasing crop yields, not about modifying agricultural machinery.

In this world of magic, almost everyone's eyes are focused on 'spells', whether magic or magic, which is nothing more than to increase the yield of crops and make the land fertile.

For Serena, who has the memories of a time-traveler and a 'book of wisdom', this is nothing short of heretical—simply unreasonable!

The favor of the gods and the world will not be given to mortals easily, and mortals should rely on themselves, not ask God to worship Buddha!

Although this is due to various reasons and cannot be generalized, the maid also has a feeling of hating iron and steel, especially after seeing the wisdom of the ancient working people of the earth.

The nobles were amazed by the convenience of keel waterwheels and barrel carts, but their first reaction was not to water the farmland, but to enjoy it, and they were only willing to open up the production methods of the curved plows, the cocoons, the hoes, and the ridges - simply stupid!

The nobleman who made this suggestion was even startled by the look on the face of his fellow nobleman, more than eight hundred years had passed since the era of belonging to the Arcane Empire, and many mage nobles in the Kingdom of Kolo were still immersed in false glory, even if that glory would never belong to them.

The Tempest is close to the subtropics, but it is still in the warm temperate zone, so there is no problem in growing wheat, and if she can expand her territory into the Black Forest, Serena will consider introducing rice.

This world has a cold climate, unlike the earth that has been polluted a lot, the winter in this world can really freeze people to death, for the sake of the people and serfs, Serena has to figure out some way, it is early autumn now, and there is not much time left for her.

In order for Cervantes to gain a foothold in the Tempest, he must reverse the perception of him by the lords, and as a lord he needs to be dignified, and he can't get closer quickly in a stupid way like he did in front of Edith and Lady Molly...... Although he is really stupid (maid language).

Why is Cervantes a black dragon? If it's a metal dragon, it wouldn't have to be so troublesome.

His people are not only commoners, but also nobles, clergy, and even adventurers - because the Grim Wind Leader relies on these adventurers, although the consumption level is not high, but this place is very close to the Black Forest, as long as the Black Forest is still there, there will always be adventurers here, which is not a small number.

However, adventurers are not good at stubble, and their quality is uneven, and if someone wants to make trouble, it is also a big trouble for the sad wind leader.

Today's speech is very important, and I, as the daughter of the Duke, hope that all the lords will take a break from their work and listen to our speech. ’

This is the news that the maid asked Edith to release yesterday, and after a night, I believe many people will be curious and apprehensive......

Because Edith did not use the name of the 'lord' or 'Duke of the Sorrowful Wind', but in the name of the 'duke's daughter' to gather the lords, maybe many people didn't expect it, but as long as one person thought of it, then it would be spread ten to hundreds, in this medieval world where there was no way to entertain, it only took one night, and the news might spread throughout half of Wende City, and then when the morning assembly was held, someone would gossip, and at that time, the momentum would be completed.

Serena didn't explain it thoroughly, there are some things that the sister-in-law needs to learn by herself.

Edith somewhat understood Serena's intentions, but the more she understood, the more confused and distressed she felt, was this something she should have learned?

Edith has been learning magic with her mother since she was a child, although the old duke and Lady Molly's education went wrong, but Edith is still smart, and not stubborn, can learn to be flexible, and is also very receptive to new things, but she is really a little confused, shouldn't these be things that only the heir of a lord needs to learn?

Lords of all walks of life and various statuses gathered in an open space outside the north gate of the city, with a high platform in front of them, and many people stood in front of the high platform.

The nobles and merchants, the knights and commoners, the clergy stood alone, and the adventurers stood at the back, for some of them were not the lords of the Sadwind, but they were allowed to stand here and watch the excitement.

'Slaves are not people' is the consensus of the world, and most people are not surprised by this phenomenon, so serfs are not included in the people.

While what is to be announced next is relevant to them, they are not 'qualified' to stand with the people who have territorial status.

The sun on an early autumn morning was not scorching, but the hearts of the lords were anxious because they still had many things to do.

The maid and her sister-in-law standing on the stone platform were under the warm sun, the maid raised her head, looked at the time, felt that the time was almost up, and nodded to the sister-in-law.

"Smack!"

The maid clapped her palms, and after attracting the attention of most people, she handed the brooch of the constant [Illusion] to the Duke's daughter.

There are more than 20,000 people in Wende City, and there are hundreds of floating populations, and now these are not all the population of Wende City, but nearly 10,000 people have focused their eyes on themselves, even the duke's daughter is stage fright, after all, she has not experienced any big world, this is her first time.

"Relax a little. The voice of 'Sister Serena' came to her ears, and the Duke's daughter visibly relaxed, "I'm standing behind you." ”

The maid used [teleportation] to get her voice into Edith's ears, as she found that she had put too much pressure on the little girl and needed to reflect on herself later.

Seeing the dwarves and halflings squeezing into the front row, Edith was a little more relaxed - after all, halflings looked really funny.

Taking a deep breath, Edith pinned the brooch to her collar and said heavily, "I'm so sorry that I gathered everyone here on this sunny and leisurely day to tell you bad news......

There was a strong sense of foreboding in the hearts of the people, and many of the more emotional women had already guessed what was happening and were the first to cry.

"My father, the rightful lord of the Sorrowful Wind Lord, the Lord of Winder City, the Duke of Sorrowful Wind, and the 'Sorrowful Wind' Sword Saint Mauriguez Sorrowful Wind passed away at home ten days ago......" Ith's eyes were red, and she sniffed as she uttered the sentence.

"Oh no, Lord Lord......"

"The Duke has passed away......"

The ominous premonition turned into reality, many people covered their heads in pain, the scene became noisy again, more than one woman cried, many people who had been helped by the old duke could not hold back tears, and the ignorant children cried with the adults, crying more sadly than the adults.

Many people can't accept the fact that a benevolent and respectable lord has died, and a good lord who has ruled the Grim Wind Realm for nearly five hundred years has died.

There were many people who thought that if their grandfather lived under the rule of the old lord, and their father lived under the rule of the old lord, and they lived under the rule of the old lord, then their sons and grandsons would also live under the rule of the old lord - this is an expectation, hoping that their children and grandchildren can live happily.

This was bad news, and even the nobles pretended to cry, and the knights and veterans who followed the old duke against the Black Forest wept even more.

With tears in the corners of her eyes, Edith pursed her lips, not daring to let a single tear fall.

"Miss Edith, will you become our lord?"

"Yes, Miss Edith, will you be the master of the Tempest?"

Wiping away tears with her knuckles, Edith shook her head and said, "Father took my brother back before he died, because I was not strong enough to become a lord, so my father took my brother who had been wandering for many years. He is the lord of the Sorrowful Wind Lord, the successor Duke of the Sorrowful Wind!"

Looking at the confusion and resentment on the faces of the lords below the stone platform, Edith suddenly sensed that her words were wrong, and hurriedly said: "No, this is not a bad thing, the lord's most important responsibility is to protect the safety and wealth of the lords under his command, I am not qualified enough to lead the knights to protect the Sorrowful Wind Leader! My brother is much more powerful than me, he can replace my father and protect the safety of the Sorrowful Wind Leader!"

The lords looked at each other, and one of the nobles asked dissatisfiedly, "So, what about our lord, why didn't he stand up and tell us about it himself?"

The nobleman seemed to ask the doubts in everyone's hearts, and the people who usually despised each other stood on the same front, venting their dissatisfaction and panic under the leadership of the nobleman.

"Yes, my lord, why didn't he come forward and let Miss Edith talk about it!"

"Why isn't our lord Miss Edith?

"I heard that Miss Edith is the right heir, and that her brother is only an illegitimate child. ”

There was a voice from the crowd, for the people were profit-seeking, and they did not know their 'new lord', and the gracious Miss Edith was 'more suitable' to be their lord.

The commoners shouted, the nobles smiled, the knights turned pale, the clergy hung their heads, the merchants kept their mouths shut, and the adventurers watched coldly—this is the Sadwind Leader!

Edith's face turned pale, and under the coercion of the people, she couldn't help but take half a step back, and then was pressed in place by the maid who stepped forward.

She looked at Serena in dazed and anguish, and the maid took the brooch from her collar and whispered, "Silence!"

The crowd cooled down suddenly, but it was still a little 'noisy', Serena glanced at the audience and shouted again: "Silence!"

This time, everyone was quiet.

After everyone quieted down, the maid bowed slightly to the crowd and said, "I am the personal maid of the new lord, the head maid of the Grief family, I apologize to you in advance, because of some small mistakes, the master was late, but he went to prepare a gift for everyone, which can be delivered today...... Oh no, it's here now!"

The leaders followed the maid's movements and raised their heads as well, but they felt a strong wind howling, and a huge figure appeared in their eyes.

The black dragon fell to the ground and threw the heavy prey on the ground, and the weight of the prey caused the ground in the distance to 'shake', and many people fell to the ground before they could stand firmly.

"Roar—"

The black dragon roared in the sky, announcing his return and official debut.
