Lord of Lowland

Chapter 19 Exploration in the South

Of course, a paladin with a skill radiation of only 30 meters naturally does not need this kind of bonus percentage skill, and Cecil is very surprised by the bonus strength of this equipment now.

"Thank you," Cecil thanked Andy, the joy that could not be concealed in his words
"It's just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. If you want to thank you, you can wait until you meet your teacher. Maybe when you meet next time, he will already be a strong man at the sanctuary level."

Cecil's heart suddenly trembled. The purpose of the mentor Collins going out this time is to attack the strong at the sanctuary level. Unlike Cecil's own player template, the aborigines always have to face similar challenges when they attack the sanctuary level. In order to break through the great difficulty of the Heavenly Tribulation, it requires the strong to gamble their lives to achieve it.Cecil couldn't help but pray for his mentor in his heart, hoping that the mentor could pass the level smoothly.

Andy saw the uneasiness in Cecil's heart and said to him: "Don't worry, Mr. Collins is a strong-willed person. I heard from the instructor that he was close to the Holy Realm class 20 years ago. Due to a special The incident caused him to sink for 20 years, and it was only recently that he cheered up. The instructor said that the reason why he cheered up may also have something to do with you as a student."

Cecil just smiled when he heard this, "I hope the teacher can cheer up."

"However, Darcy and Talis's teacher, Roynert, may have a period of sinking in the future. This teacher has been living in self-blame these days. As the Duke's former knight, the Duke put his own It was an honor for him to entrust his son to him, but he did not expect that Darcy would die under his rule. Although death is inevitable as long as there is a mission, Darcy's death made it difficult for the champion knight to accept .Although the Duke did not explicitly blame him, self-blame is enough to crush the knight." Andy said.

After hearing this, Cecil fell into silence. He could completely understand Luo Yinert's mood. Originally, the old leader sent the child to you for gold plating, but the child died here. You can fully imagine how Cecil felt.

Andy ignored Cecil's mood and continued: "And your former fiancée Talis. Originally, Mr. Roinert asked Talis to complete the task with him, but it turned out that Mr. Collins After I found you, I was afraid that Talis would be embarrassed. Darcy took the initiative to take over this task from Teacher Roynlt. So to a certain extent, Darcy can be said to die in his place, so Talis may be in a very long time. I can't get out of the sadness for a period of time."

Cecil suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when he heard what Andy said about these two people. It seemed that Darcy was doing a loss-making business in saving himself. There were so many people who were heartbroken and sad when he died, but what if he died?I am afraid that only the old housekeeper and Ashan maid can shed a few tears. From the perspective of a third party, I am afraid that Cecil himself will think that it is such a stupid thing for Dalcy to save him, but he is the person involved after all. This feeling made him very uncomfortable.

"I don't want to talk about this matter anymore. In short, what I want to do now is to complete the task assigned to me by the count. If you want to go to the south with me for training, tomorrow we will go to the horse shop to gather." After Cecil finished speaking, he was completely speechless. Looking at Andy, he walked directly to his mansion.

Andy looked at Cecil's back, and suddenly laughed in his heart. He is usually a person who doesn't talk much, but what he said today, it seems that Cecil has not only changed his mentor , Even I was quietly being changed by him, this person is quite interesting.

Early the next morning, Cecil and Andy went to the horse shop in Wangdu, hired two horses, and headed south slowly.The territory of the kingdom is vast. In the setting, there are only 5 human countries in a place about the same size as the Eurasian continent in the real world, so the territory of each kingdom is definitely not small.The two rode on horseback for a full month before arriving at their destination.

Originally, Earl Kasikud should have sent a letter to Henry, the local deputy, asking him to welcome the two men, but the relationship between the Earl and Henry has become increasingly cold in recent years, and the king has supported Henry intentionally or unintentionally. Attitudes are increasingly domineering.Has become the most rebellious one among the 12 acting officials.In last year's tax return, the income from the earl's territory was only 3% of what the earl's father was alive. This is the old territory of the earl's family, not the territory after the earl's military exploits. Seeing that Henry was so out of control, the earl rose up Killing heart.

It stands to reason that this kind of assassination is strictly prohibited by the kingdom, but it is a pity that the deputy officials are directly subordinate to the nobles in name, and their lives are also owned by the nobles. Except for the deputy officials, as long as the nobles do not pursue it, the king actually has no right to say anything.Such a rule of the game has been formed for hundreds of years. The big nobles will kill the disobedient officials, and as long as the king doesn't think the nobles are too much, they will never interfere.Anyway, under this system, the king can still find ways to drive a wedge between the new acting officials and the nobles.This is also the unspoken rule that has been generally followed for hundreds of years after the great game in the early days of the kingdom. There is no special reason for the king and nobles to stick to this bottom line without breaking the tacit understanding between the two parties.

Cecil first went to check his own territory by inspecting the territory. Cecil and Andy secretly came to inspect Cecil's manor as the lord. There are 30 manors in Kent, and Cecil only owns one of them. one.The entire estate has 300 hectares, all of which are planted with morning light wheat.It was the autumn harvest season, and the rice fields smelled of wheat, and Cecil couldn't help but feel a little intoxicated.

Andy poked Cecil and said, "Do you see any problem?"

"There's nothing wrong with the wheat," Cecil said.

"Who told you about these wheat!" Andy was obviously annoyed that Cecil didn't get into the situation
"I just estimated that the annual income of this manor can reach 5 gold coins."

"8 gold coins!" Cecil was taken aback. "But my annual income is only 1 gold coins, and I have to pay half of it to the earl."

"Normally, you should receive 4 gold coins, then if the earl keeps half of it and gives you the remaining half, you will have no problem getting 2 gold coins every year," Andy said.

"You mean to say that the acting officer withheld 7 gold coins! This is too bold." Cecil said

"Don't forget, it's not just the deputy who handles it, the earl is also the one who handles it." Andy said again

"The count will also cheat me?" Cecil asked in surprise.

"The world is as black as crows. These days, they are basically deducted layer by layer, and roadblocks are set up. Who can be an exception."

Cecil couldn't help sticking out his tongue, he was really as black as a crow, "Fortunately, I thought it was the earl who took care of me, so it turned out that he was cheating me too."

"It can't be said that the earl doesn't take care of you, because the earl is not cheating anyone. Being able to cheat you means that he still doesn't want to abandon you. Isn't it the same if he confiscated your territory and didn't cheat you?" Andy's mouth is really like a knife

"How can you, a high-ranking mage, have more accidents than a knight like me? You are not at all what I imagined." Andy's recent performance is too much like an old fritters. Is Andy still the taciturn little mage he saw for the first time?

"Don't look at me with such eyes. Strictly speaking, we dragon warlocks do not belong to Cabrada. Even a century ago, Kabrada was still chasing down us dragon warlocks until Sara's Appeared, she defeated the seven city lords of Cabrada at that time, so that our family could integrate into Cabrada. Our family has been in the market for thousands of years, mixing with various rogue thieves and robbers. It’s a so-called evidence of the evil of our warlocks. So we’ve learned a lot about these black-and-white methods in the officialdom.” Andy saw Cecil’s doubts, and said a lot in one breath.

"We defeated the 7th Cabrada's city lord!!!" Cecil's eyes widened in shock. "Aren't you bragging? Every one of the city lords of Cabrada is far above the general legend. No one even objected to saying that they are demigods. Is your ancestor so powerful? Your future is limitless. "

Cecil was very shocked by this news. Cecil never thought that Sara would be so strong. Thinking that Andy, who is also a dragon vein warlock, might become such a powerful figure in the future, Cecil couldn't help feeling a little bit towards him. In awe.

"I don't know whether the legend of Sarah is true. The great wizards of Cabrada will not take the initiative to talk about it, so our family is actually my father." Andy paused and continued, "He I don’t know whether the one-sided statement is true. Moreover, not all Dragon Vein Warlocks can become Sarah. Since Bokabu retained this bloodline, there have been at least 1000 Dragon Vein Warlocks in history who have reached the level of awakening. But it's just Sarah. I can't imagine what I would accomplish with her."

Cecil temporarily put away these delusions and returned to the present. He and Andy ran to several manors in a hurry and found that they were all similar. It seems that Henry has seriously eroded the interests of Earl Kasikund. It seems that Cecil I have to go into the city to get in touch with Henry.

While Cecil was thinking about something, bursts of crying sounded from the distance of the manor.Cecil looked in the direction of the crying and saw a group of people wearing guard uniforms beating a farmer's family.There are also a group of farmers watching around
Cecil walked closer to see it clearly. It turned out to be a favorite plot. Cecil likes things like bully servants bullying poor people. Although Cecil saw these guys in guard uniforms, they were vicious, but in fact With only the physique of an ordinary person at level 10, if I don't pay attention, I can kill them in seconds.Immediately, he seemed to go up and take care of the suspect.Andy grabbed him.

"Don't be too impulsive, you guy, we'd better ask clearly"

The two found the onlookers next to them to understand the situation. In fact, it was very simple. Farmer John lost money in the casino, then borrowed usury, and then owed a lot of money at interest rates. The land here belonged to the earl, so he even owned the land. There is no mortgage, so I can only mortgage my daughter Jenny.This is a creditor who came to rob people.

"This Henry is not so arrogant," Andy said, "It is already a violation of the kingdom's regulations to open a casino as a deputy official, and he dares to rob the women of the people. Doesn't he know that the tenant farmers here are the precious manpower of the Earl? How dare you do such a thing without any scruples.”
