Black Knight From Blue Star

Hadi has always known that some races in the demon world can eat people.

 But in his previous life, he only regarded games as games, and these ‘things’ were regarded as background settings, and he didn’t care at all.

 After all, God has chosen to work as a worker. If you can support yourself, you have done your best.

At that time, he focused more on the cost-effectiveness of the task and focused on making money.

 But it’s different now. He is a so-called ‘meat-eater’, a high-level person in a country.

 After enjoying a lot of benefits and resources, he has the obligation to manage and protect the people under his command.

When Hardy returned to the Lord's Mansion in Butale County, the pile of bones in the main hall had been cleared. The soldiers transported it to a small forest outside the city, dug a large pit, and collected all the bones. Put them in and bury them together.

Hadi sat in the study, looking at the records left by the local lords, and sighed helplessly.

“Out of a population of nearly 400,000, only more than 700 people were left in the end.” He covered his face with a somewhat uncomfortable expression.

 For those in the rear security zone, these records may be just numbers.

 But those fighting on the front lines know exactly what this number represents.

Hardy felt very uncomfortable now. He wanted to vent the extremely suppressed anger in his heart, but his reason told him that as a lord and a commander, he needed to calm down.

Especially in a battle involving the survival of the race, such as the war between humans and demons, calmness is even more important.

 At this time, there was a knock on the door and then it was pushed open.

Abner walked in and said, "Sir Hardy, we have collected the belongings of most families in the city."

 Hardy nodded: "Take out one-twentieth and distribute it equally to each survivor."

 “Is this too much?” Abner asked.

 The entire city's money is gathered together. Even if it is only one-twentieth, it is still an extremely huge number.

Divided it among more than 700 people, each of them would receive a sum of money that would ensure that they would have good food and drink for several lifetimes.

"It doesn't matter." Hardy sighed: "It's a lucky thing for them to survive, but it's also a painful thing. After all, their relatives...can't be found. Let them have something to rely on for the rest of their lives, Maybe it will make them a little happier for the rest of their lives.”

Hearing this, Abner also became depressed and silent.

Hardy then said: "Put out another third as a reward for the army. The dead soldiers will get the largest pension, followed by the seriously injured and minor injuries, and then all the soldiers will also get a sum. How to distribute it? Make a form and show it to me."

Abner looked stern. He knew that Hardy was training and cultivating himself.

 “Yes, I will try my best, Your Excellency.”

Hardy was very satisfied with the other party's attitude. He looked at the lord's coat of arms on the table. The coat of arms of the Britta family was a flying bird. Because the shape was too strange, Hardy could not identify what kind of bird it was.

 He asked: “Have you found any distant relatives of the local lord?”

"They have been found." Abner said with a smile: "They are waiting in the guest room, waiting for your summons."

 “Then invite them over.” Hardy said softly.

Abner walked out of the study, then came in with a fat woman and three children.

 The fat woman has red hair and her face is covered with scars.

 Looking like a middle-aged woman, she is actually only about twenty-five years old. A hard life can easily make her age.

 These four people were very nervous and reserved in front of Hadi.

Especially the three children, they didn’t even have the courage to look at Hadi, they just lowered their heads. "Susan Butale! The illegitimate daughter of the owner of the Butale family and a prostitute." Hardy turned a notebook to a certain page and pushed it in front of the other party: "Although you have never entered Butale's house. , but your father will occasionally send you some supplies so that you can grow up alive, become an adult, and get married. "

The name Susan is very common. In every city, there are at least hundreds of women named Susan.

The fat woman looked at Hadi with horror on her face.

 She was indeed the illegitimate daughter of the Butale family, but she never felt that this identity was of much help to her.

She grew up relying on the little money her mother earned from selling her body, but she was very ambitious. No matter how hard and tired she was, she never went into her mother's profession.

 I married an honest sharecropper a few years ago and gave birth to three children.

 Just the year before last, my husband passed away due to illness.

 Now, she, her two sons and a daughter are the only ones left at home.

 She didn’t understand what Hadi was doing by bringing her here?

Although she has not received aristocratic education, she is at the lowest level and knows that people's hearts are sinister and terrifying.

 More aware that interests can drive people crazy.

 Now the entire Butale family seems to have died, leaving only her, the illegitimate daughter.

Could it be that... Susan suddenly thought of something, fell to her knees in horror, and shouted: "Your Excellency, I have nothing to do with Britta, I am just the child of a prostitute, I know nothing and understand nothing. "

When the three children saw their mother like this, their faces turned pale with fright, and they knelt down with frightened expressions.

Hardy sighed softly.

Seeing that Hardy didn't speak, Susan became even more frightened. She kowtowed and shouted, "Sir, you can kill me. Please let my three children go. They don't understand anything and they are still children."

 The three children were very confused when they saw their mother like this.

  I am also more frightened.

　　Hardy said calmly: "You shouted so loudly that I couldn't even speak."

This woman's voice seemed to have been cut off by the recording.

 The study immediately became quiet.

"I understand what you are worried about." Hardy said in a gentle tone: "But not all nobles are as scary as you imagined. Now you are the only direct bloodline of the Butali family. From today on, You are the mistress of Butale, Susan Butale, do you understand?”

Susan raised her head and looked at Hardy in surprise.

  She suspected that she had heard wrongly and looked confused.

 At this time, the three children also raised their heads and looked at Hadi who was smiling.

Hardy is extremely handsome to begin with, and his smile is the type that would kill you even if you were charming.

The three children stared at Hadi blankly, their expressions gradually changing from fear to admiration and admiration.

Hardy continued: "I will leave part of the city's money in the Lord's Mansion, and I will also leave a knighthood to protect your safety. What you have to do next is to find a way to collect money from the surrounding towns. People, move some of them to this city and run it again.”

 “I… don’t understand… these.”

"If you don't understand, learn slowly and think slowly." Hardy continued to say gently: "After I leave, it is estimated that the nobles around will come to you for trouble. If you have any problems, you can ask the Knights for help. If the Knights solve it No, just tell those people that your bloodline and your inheritance rights are recognized by me, Hadi. If you are not convinced, come to Hukaro City to find me."

Having said this, Hardy paused and said with a smile: "If they still refuse, send someone to inform me. I will stand up for you without violating justice and justice. But I will only protect you. The family has been together for five years, and after five years, you have to rely on yourself." (End of this chapter)
