Chapter 46 IV Measuring Instruments
Duruff was extremely strong, bloodthirsty and belligerent, and was a good man under Daniel. But he is by no means a good lord, nor is he a good father. Os's personality was completely different from his father's, he was quiet and gentle, and Truf was very dissatisfied with him. Every time he trained his martial arts, it was hell for Oss. Duruff was very harsh on him, and if he didn't do it properly, he would be beaten and scolded.
The deepest impression of his father was the way he roared at him, and Oss was afraid of him. When he heard the news of Trulloff's death in battle, he had mixed feelings. There were some touches, but not to the sad Cheng dΓΉ. So now being asked by Alan, the little boy answered truthfully, he really didn't know whether to hate Eren or thank him.
He really didn't know.
Alan patted him on the shoulder and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know, you still have a lot of time to think anyway." But before that, I'll learn how to manage your territory first. With all due respect, neither your father nor uncle is viable. The people are the blood of a territory, and if you squeeze their value too much, you will drain the protein in the blood, and then the territory will not be far from extinction. β
"Take good care of them, be majestic and merciful, and you will be a good lord. And your people will also create more wealth for you. β
After some encouragement, Alan planned to leave.
Oss suddenly said, "Why are you doing this? β
"Won't you put me in jail? Aren't you afraid that I will take revenge on you in the future? β
Alan turned around and smiled, "This is the second thing I want to tell you, as a superior person, you must have enough energy. The amount of energy you have is related to how far you can go on this path. Define your goals and put the best effort into achieving them, and don't get distracted by small things. If I had to cut off every opponent I wanted to kill, their relatives and friends, one by one. Then I don't have to do anything, I just stay where I am forever. β
"And as long as I keep moving forward, then these people who may become my obstacles, they will only be left far behind by me, and they can no longer be obstacles!" With these words, Alan left the chamber.
Watching his back disappear outside the door, Oss suddenly thought that he might never be able to catch up with this back.
As he walked out of the room, Alan heard a commotion of noise. He followed the sound and saw Willik carrying a man at the gate, with several boxes on the ground. A few of the retinue-like men fell to their knees, and five or six soldiers were pointing their guns/guns at them. One of the boxes was opened, and something had fallen to the ground, it was a golden plate with carved patterns around it, some of which were dotted with diamonds, and looked like they were of great value.
"What's going on?" Alan asked.
Willik pushed the man in his hand to the ground: "We caught a thief." β
"What do you say? You actually say that I, Lord Yalo, am a thief, you brute force, I want you to ......" The man didn't finish his sentence before he took Willik's punch. Willik didn't dare to make a heavy hand, otherwise this man's life would have to be answered.
"Yarrow?" Alan squatted down and smiled, "I've heard of you, so, what are you going to bring from me?" β
Half of Yaluo's face was swollen, and he said vaguely, "My lord, this lord." I swear, I'm really not a thief. These are my property and I have the right to take them with me. β
"Property?" Alan stood up and shook his head: "Don't you know that this territory now belongs to me." I am the owner of this territory, and every qiΔ in the territory is my property. You see, Mr. Yarrow, my people have not wronged you. Trying to take my property away, isn't this a thief what? β
When Yalo heard this, he jumped up and shouted, "You can't be so savage! They're my stuff, how can you just snatch them like that? β
Allen's face turned cold: "Then when you snatched their wealth from the hands of the commoners, how could you have thought of it like this. β
"Without further ado, now I declare that Mr. Yarrow is trying to steal my property. Willik, break his legs and throw him out of the city, this is the punishment he deserves. β
"No, no, I protest! Help me, Lord Oss. Oh no, what are you doing, let me down! β
Yarrow shouted, but he couldn't get rid of the two tall soldiers. Willik followed Allen's orders and broke Arlow's legs, then had the soldiers drag him through the streets before throwing him out of the city. The civilians of the city watched this qiΔ clearly, and after Yalo threw him out of the city, they also began to walk towards the outside of the city.
"These untouchables, these lowly bastards. It really broke my leg, and I want revenge! I'm going to take revenge on you, wait, when I come back next time, I'm going to ...... you" Yarrow was cursing Alan and the others when there was a sudden pain on the top of his head, and he couldn't help but scream. Turning around, I saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy holding a rock in his hand.
There was some blood in the corner of the stone, and Arlo touched his head, and his hand was sticky, and he realized that he had knocked the boy on the blow. Yalo was furious: "Bastard, do you know who I am? You lowly bastard, I'm going to strangle you on the gallows! β
As soon as he finished speaking, Yarrow noticed that there were more and more people around him. They surrounded Yarrow, and the shadows that the people had pulled out completely enveloped him. Arlo's arrogance finally disappeared, and he looked at the angry faces with fear. The gaze swept over the city, where soldiers were on duty. Yarrow couldn't help but stretch out his hand and shouted, "Here, soldier. I'm Lord Yarrow, come and save me......"
A stone slammed into his face, smashing his words back into his stomach. Then came the second and third blocks. People roared and roared, completely venting their old grievances. The children threw stones, and the men simply stepped on and kicked them with their feet. Yarrow cried and shouted, counting on the soldiers on the walls to save him.
The two soldiers looked at Jeff, who shook his head and said, "That's what he deserves." β
By the time the people had dispersed, Arlo's eyes were wide open, and he couldn't find a single place on his body that wasn't scarred. Only then did Jeff gesticulate, and the two soldiers went down and quietly pulled his body away.
This is the only one who died under the city, ironically, not at the hands of Allen's soldiers, but at the feet of civilians.
As dusk fell, several horse-drawn carriages drove into the Unicorn Castle, where Daniel stood on the edge of the stone railing with his hands in his hands at one of the castle's open-air pavilions with a view of the entire Lake Porttilly, watching the sunset over the lake.
Earlier, several candidates for the succession of Castle Aurora approached Daniel in the hope that the Viscount could arbitrate for them. Daniel and Lyforth's sons met several times in private, with Lesford's second son promising the Viscount. As long as Daniel supports him, when he sits on the throne of lord, he will give away nearly half of the wealth in the territory.
Although the strength of the Castle of Dawn has been greatly damaged, it refers to the military strength. The territory of Ralphs is quite rich, first of all, there are large fields that can be used for farming, so more than seventy percent of the food in the viscounty is provided by Dawning Castle. In addition to this, two high-quality copper mines are also the source of Ryfus's wealth. Copper and iron, which are used as raw materials for weapons and equipment, can provide a steady stream of wealth for lords regardless of the age. Now that Daniel had lost Sunset City and the iron ore under his control, the Viscount made a offer to the young man named Serra.
He would take Serra to the position of lord, but at the same time, Serra would have to hand over the two copper mines.
And this deal was completed just yesterday. Now that Serra had returned to Castle of Aurora, Daniel had sent two of his rank 12 warriors back with him, preparing to take out the other competitors so that Serra could easily take the position of successor.
Daniel was now considering whether to risk attacking Urban's army in order to turn the dreary situation for some time.
Then the butler came and whispered, "My lord, here are Mr. Carrett and Miss Lusa." β
Daniel perked up and said happily, "Invite them in." β
The two men had also met Daniel a few days ago and wanted to hire a good killer from them, and today was the time for the two to "deliver", and Daniel was expecting some surprises from them.
These surprises are also some important factors in creating a turnaround.
Soon, Daniel met some people in his study. These people, both men and women, have some obscure aura on them. These breaths can be cold or sharp. And no matter what kind of breath it is, it shows the strength of its owner.
"Lord Daniel, it's my pleasure to recommend you these wonderful adventurers. I promise, they are also excellent hunters and killers who can complete the tasks you tell them to do. "Carrett is the president of the Adventurers' Guild within the Viscountdom, and the old man, who always puts himself in a black robe, has a strong sense of mystery, gesturing with his bony hand to accentuate his tone.
Daniel made a gesture, and Carrett immediately called a few people up. There were four of his recommendations, starting with a strong man who wore heavy armor and carried two large swords crossed behind him. The man's rugged face had a dark red beard, and I don't know if he was born like this or dyed it himself. Carrett patted the man and said, "Redbeard, he's the most terrible butcher I've ever had." The level of fifteen, but with his marking ability, he can burst out with a power no less than seventeen in a short period of time. β
"I call it Kill Time, and during that time, Redbeard is an efficient meat grinder that will grind all the targets you need to cut into powder!"
Daniel looked at the man, the man's gaze was deep, his breath was restrained, and he was a real master, as Carrett said. And the ability to improve his combat power in a short period of time makes him have explosive power above the level, which is a very rare ability. If the opponent makes a mistake with Redbeard's power, the end is to drink hatred on the spot.
The viscount nodded, and Carrett was overjoyed, pointing to the other side. Redbeard walked over, which meant that he had been chosen by Daniel.
The old man continued to introduce the next one, which was a woman. With a mediocre appearance, but an unexpectedly full and sexy figure, she resembles a female leopard. Wild and explosive in a casual movement, Daniler noticed that she had been playing with the short knife in her hand, the blade of which was pitch-black and moved nimbly between her fingers, forming a dazzling series of movements.
"This is Charyl, a thief, an assassin, and a spy. In short, she is an all-rounder. And, if you give enough, she can also offer some special services that are guaranteed to be not much inferior to the Naga Fishman. CarrΓ© said pointedly.
Daniel glanced at it, her flexible snake waist, slender legs, and her wild explosiveness, Daniel believed that she would perform very well in another battlefield. The viscount nodded and said, "Miss Charlier will definitely be satisfied with the price I offered." β
Charil's amber eyes lit up, and she smiled lightly and walked over to Redbeard's side. The rhythm of the pace attracted the viscount's attention with its depth.
The third candidate is a man with a thin body. He stood silently, holding a gun that was almost up to his height. Apparently this is putting a fire that has been transformed. Gun, it has the same slender body as its owner. The man wore an eyepatch on his face, which left him with only one eyeball. This dark green eye reflects the light in the study, exuding a palpitating color.
"Mattow, but we all call him One-Eyed. My lord, he is the best marksman under me, and Ma Duo even gouged out one of his own eyes in order to practice his marksmanship. It is this focus that has led him to where he is today. Carrett patted the man and nodded his left eye.
The man stepped forward and lifted the blindfold of his left eye. Sure enough, under the light, the dark eyes were dark. Daniel nodded, "Very well, I need someone as focused as you." β
The last one was a dwarf, a man less than a meter tall who grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow cloudy teeth. He stepped forward and said, "Let me introduce myself, my lord, people call me a shorty." As you can see, I don't have the strength of a red beard, and I don't have the sexy body of Miss Charyl. Of course, I can't shoot a mosquito from a distance of 300 meters like a one-eyed. But I know you're going to hire me. β
"Oh." Daniel came interested: "Tell me, I want to know your reasons." β
The dwarf smiled even more proudly: "Because of the poison I concocted, there is no one who can't be put down!" β
Carrett added, "The Short Man is an excellent apothecary under me, he can make poisons that kill people, and he can also make remedies that save people. β
Daniel laughed and said, "I really can't refuse such a talent." β
