Traitor Summoning System [Infrastructure]

After Cai Lun arrived at Mithril Fort, he quickly understood the basic situation here.

Compared with Darkmoon Town and Darkmoon Castle, Mithril Town has much more money.The foundation of Mithril Town is much better than that of Wanzhong Town back then. If there were not too many things in Wanzhong Town that could not be moved, Cai Lun would have suggested Leonard to live in Mithril Town in the future.

With Mithril Town, no one can say that Leonard's territory looks ordinary on the surface, but it is actually very powerful.

Now it looks super strong on the surface.

After learning about the situation here, Cai Lun forcibly relocated some freemen and slaves from Mithril Town to Wanzhong Town, and then brought some freemen and slaves from Wanzhong Town to Mithril Town.

In this way he assimilated freemen and slaves.

As He Shen mentioned, the Monliers who used to be savages also scattered to places like Mithril Town and Darkmoon Town.

Spring is here, there are a lot of jobs and opportunities in Leonard's territory, and a large amount of coins are spread out. He Shen finds that some Montreer people are a little restless again, so he takes this opportunity to disperse them.

Many things are inconvenient to do in winter. Now that spring is here and the temperature is warm, we can start to make drastic adjustments.

Cai Lun kept a Montlier man named Han Xing by his side. He felt that he was very smart, so he learned things by his side first, which could be of great use in the future.

For the freedmen and slaves from Mithril Town, the first thing they need to teach is hygiene.

Everyone in Wanzhong Town despised the lice on their bodies.

These people may only bathe their hair once a year. Of course, some free people with status will choose to comb their hair with a dense comb and shave their scalp, so that the lice and lice eggs can be removed.

……

It was the level that Leonard would tremble after hearing it.

Speaking of which, the great poet Bai Juyi also washed his hair once a year. He did this at the beginning because he was afraid of hair loss, and he wrote a lot of sad poems about hair loss for this reason.Ever since he knew this, Leonard felt weird when he saw poems like "You buried your bones in the spring, and I sent the world full of snow", "Now Ge's head is covered with snow, and you can play until dawn."

... Good guy, the world is full of snow.

. . . Boy, play until dawn.

Cough, actually the original poem doesn’t mean that, it’s because his thoughts are too vulgar.

……

Leonard first sent Knight Commander Bridges to deliver the letter, and soon after, he sent another man to deliver another letter about the Black family.

Knight Commander Bridges and his party didn't move very fast, so the next person Leonard sent quickly caught up with their team.

"What's the matter, does the lord have any new orders?" Bridges asked.

"The lord has an urgent message for Lord Greene," said the soldier.

"Oh," Bridges said, "then let's speed it up."

He didn't ask what the letter was, and he didn't mind why Leonard acted as if he didn't trust him.

He now has admiration and unquestioning loyalty to Leonard.

The group of them accelerated all the way, and rushed to Linye City.

The guard immediately became vigilant after seeing a large number of troops, and asked loudly, "Who are you?"

Bridges opened his helmet and said, "I am Bridges of Little Thorn Castle. I have come to see the Duke of Green by order of my lord."

People here generally introduce themselves as 'I am XXX of XXX', but it is similar in ancient China.

The guard immediately stood in awe after hearing this: "It turns out to be Mr. Bridges."

Bridges felt a little strange after hearing this. This was the first time he was called 'Master Bridges' in Forest Leaf City.

The guard said, "Lord Bridges, please dismount, we brothers have to inspect the team according to the rules."

The other guards surrounded them, and when they heard that it was the people from Little Thorn Castle, they all showed respectful expressions.

Bridges kind of enjoyed the look.

When he was in Linyecheng, he was a squad leader who was excluded. His skill is actually not bad, otherwise he would not be the squad leader. The problem is that he is too stupid. Marginalization of hair.

The people under him also complained about him. Some of them thought that if their team leader was not too incompetent, maybe they would have had the opportunity to show their talents.

Later, because of Bridges' incompetence, he was directly assigned to Leonard's side, and followed Leonard to Little Thorn Castle.

The complaints against him from those under him also reached a peak.

I'm leaving the bustling Linye City and going to a place where no shit!

Speaking of it, Leonard has always felt that using "birds don't shit" to describe a bad place is not extreme enough. After all, "birds don't shit" is better than "birds shit here"...

Then back to business.

At that time, some people ran away, and some people followed Bridges to Little Thorn Castle very unwillingly.

Everyone knows what happened next.

The army is constantly expanding. They are the veterans of the army. They all have good armor and good weapons, and their pockets are full of coins. They eat well, wear well, and sleep well, but the training is a bit hard.But this hard work was overwhelmed by the impressive record.They felt that following Bridges to Little Thorn Castle was the most correct choice they had ever made in their life!

Bridges is doubly happy about this. On the one hand, he is happy that he has gained so much, and on the other hand, he is happy that he is finally worthy of his subordinates.

But now, when he returned to Linye City and reported his name, he could actually receive respectful gazes.

Bridges couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion when he thought of the neglect he had encountered in Linye City back then.

The battle between Little Thorn Castle and Mithril Castle has been rumored. It is said that the Viscount Ingram of Mithril Castle was directly killed by Baron Green of Little Thorn Castle, which is too incredible.

However, the words came from the mouth of the bard, and some people were dubious.

The guards simply checked the team because of the rules.

The guard at the head found a corpse covered with the banner of Mithril Fort on the carriage. He was horrified and pinched a corner to take a look. The corpse looked hideous, but he could tell that the other person had handsome and upright features and should be a nobleman.

Presumably this is the Viscount Ingram. It turns out that the rumors are true.The guards immediately put the flag back on.

Viscount Ingram certainly has his own coat of arms. After all, he is a viscount. Covering him with the family flag is the last respect for nobles.

In fact, it stands to reason that Leonard should have his own coat of arms now, but Leonard is not in a hurry. After all, he is now a baron, and he will get another one when the title is higher.

Heraldry is very particular about these.

Of course, the eldest brother Graham can directly use the coat of arms of Thorn Green, and the second brother Vito can also use it now. After all, he is still at home and has no fiefdom.

Leonard is different. Leonard now has his own fiefdom outside. It is a kind of "self-reliant family" and should have his own coat of arms.

The badge of Thorn Green is a big tree surrounded by thorns. According to the custom, Leonard's coat of arms should be a variant of the Thorn Green clan emblem, such as flowers blooming on the thorns. It has his own characteristics and can reflect his own characteristics. And the blood relationship with the main family.

……

Bridges first went to see Duke Green according to Leonard's instructions. This was actually a formality, and Duke Horace Green didn't care much about such things now.But he was still the duke in name, so Bridges had to ask to see him first.

Leonard also told Bridges about this, saying that he would just ask to see his eldest brother Graham after his father didn't see him.

It turned out that Horace Green really agreed to see him.

"Your Excellency." Bridges was very nervous when he walked in.

This is Duke Green!One of the most powerful men on the continent!The patriarch of the four major families in the mainland!

"Hmm." Duke Green looked very majestic, his cold blue eyes were like the silent sky of winter.He said directly, "Tell me what you know."

The words of respect that Bridges had prepared in his head froze, and he thought he'd have to start with a compliment.

He stammered and began to say that Mithril Fort attacked Leonard, and then Leonard decided to attack Mithril Fort after returning.

"More details." Duke Green interrupted him.

Bridges finally got a little smoother, but now his thinking is stuck again.

Then he began to speak hard, because he was too nervous, and he inevitably got some words out of order.

He was originally a person with average aptitude. He only received a lot of physical training from Lu Bu, but his eloquence did not improve much.

Duke Green showed an impatient expression after listening for a while, and Bridgeston became more nervous, so he spoke worse, it was like a vicious circle.

Bridges finished his last sentence with a blank mind, and then immediately began to feel annoyed.

I failed the lord's entrustment to me... Bridges thought.He should have performed well in front of the duke, and used better words to describe the excellence of the lord.

Bridges came out of Linye City. He knew that Lord Leonard was not loved by the family, and he knew that he needed to reshape his image in his father's eyes.

This is obviously a good opportunity, obviously a good opportunity...

Bridges was furious.

Angry at myself, of course.

Duke Green didn't say anything for a while after listening. He took a sip of tea and said lightly: "You are a qualified knight commander. It is difficult for you to be forced to leave Linye City. Stay in Linye City in the future."

Bridges froze for a moment, then blurted out: "I don't want to."

He was dumbfounded after blurting it out.

He hurriedly said: "Yes, I'm sorry Lord Duke Green, I have already pledged my allegiance to Lord Leonard Green, and he is my only lord."

"Well, you only have one chance, go down." Duke Green didn't look angry either.

Bridges breathed a sigh of relief and saluted: "Thank you, Mr. Duke."

He hurried away, fearing that he would make another mistake.

Alas, the opportunity to improve the Lord Lord's image in his father's heart was wasted.

At the same time, Leonard, who was far away in Little Thorn Castle, heard the system beep.

[With the help of his subordinate Bridges, he successfully improved his impression in front of his father, adding 50 destiny points. 】

Huh?It looks like Bridges is boasting about himself in front of his father, Horace.Leonard thought.

Knight Commander Bridges looked dumbfounded, but he was quite eloquent.You should reward him well when you come back.

Leonard naturally continued to think.

For Horace Green, he doesn't need to rely on the rhetoric of his subordinates to judge Leonard's current appearance, he relies on the loyalty of his subordinates to Leonard.

If his son is good enough, then his subordinates will not abandon him and stay in Linye City.

Leonard's prestige can be seen by making a knight refuse such a big temptation to stay in Linye City without hesitation.

This is what really improves the impression.

……

Leonard wrote to both his father, Horace, and his eldest brother, Graham.

The letter to Horace was very simple. It simply stated that he killed the Viscount of Mithril Town, briefly stated that he wanted the position of the Viscount, and briefly stated his future plans.It was too simple, so Horace had to call Bridges in and ask.

And he didn't say exactly what Leonard planned. He just mentioned in the letter that if his father is interested, he can listen to the recent bard's song.

The letter to the eldest brother was much longer, and in addition to the previous transaction, it also mentioned the matter of the Black family.Leonard didn't tell his father Horace about this, mainly because the incident hadn't been written yet, so don't disturb his old man, so he seemed very impatient.

Before dinner that night, Duke Horace suddenly said: "There has been no bard in Thorn Castle for a long time."

The people below were taken aback, and then hurried to Linye City to find the bard.

Everyone wondered if the master had changed his gender, obviously he didn't like bards the most.

Hollus is a very disciplined person, and he doesn't like the promiscuity, and the bard is often synonymous with prostitution.

Generally, nobles have many illegitimate children. Horace didn't have a single illegitimate child, and only three biological children.Klitschens was not in good health after giving birth to Leonard, so Horace no longer had children. After all, having children has too much impact on a woman's body.

The dinner party is here.

When the bard walked in, many people were a little surprised.

The bard was actually a little surprised himself, but the surprise was more of a surprise. He felt that he could show off to the outside world.

I am a bard who has entered Thorn Castle!My appearance fee has to be doubled!

After all, Thorn Castle is second only to the Emperor's Castle.

And Thorn Castle is even more difficult to enter than the King's Castle.

Although his heart was turbulent, the bard didn't dare to be too presumptuous on the surface. He bowed politely, and then asked, "Noble adults, what song do you want to hear?"

"Fashion of late," said Horace Green.

The bard froze for a moment, and immediately understood.

Then he started playing the harp and sang the most popular recent "Scarlet Lord".

Because the song was about the duke's son, he cleverly changed some derogatory words, but Horace Green recognized it just after changing a few lines: "Sing the original sentence."

The bard hurriedly didn't dare to change it randomly.

Although he changed it on the spot and it was catchy, but compared with the original lyrics written by He Shen, it is naturally a judgment call.

There are some bloody and brutal lyrics about Leonard in "The Scarlet Lord", and the bard sings tremblingly, for fear of causing trouble.

But luckily Lord Horace had said nothing.

The eldest brother Graham has been cooking, showing no expression.

Mother Clitchens frowned as she listened.

The second elder brother, Vito, couldn't help being overjoyed, and he was trying to restrain his expression.

After the dinner, the bard didn't dare to ask for a reward, so he bid farewell and ran away.

When he ran to the door, the Berkeley steward of Thorn Castle stopped him.

The bard was done thinking about whether he was going to be secretly slaughtered.

As a result, the butler of Berkeley handed him a small bag of silver coins, saying that it was a reward for tonight.

Huh?Is the Duke satisfied with this song?

The bard left Thorn Castle dazed with the silver coin.
