The Dragon Princess Who Traveled Through Another World
Chapter 10 The Current Situation of the Barren Territory
After a lot of tossing, everyone was tired.
So, a group of people moved in, a brand new castle cleaned by the cleansing arcane of Myramie.
Charlie fell asleep almost as soon as he touched the bed, and had a dreamless night.
The next morning, she was woken up by a loud noise.
Like a dream, the noise from downstairs made Charlie curl up in the blanket.
She tried hard to fall asleep again.
But the sudden maid knocked on the door, and the noisy Charlie had to sit up on the musty big bed, which couldn't be saved by the cleansing arcane.
Not good! Master!!
Despite the urgency of the situation, Charlie had to tighten his corset quickly before he hurried out of the largest master bedroom on the fourth floor of the castle.
Dash all the way down the winding stone stairs to the place where the conflict broke out on the first floor of the castle.
The commissioners confronted the ragged leaders holding harpoons, while the two arcanists watched.
What's going on? Put down your weapons!
Charlie deliberately suppressed his voice.
She jumped over the crowd in the mercenary team, and walked to the leaders in tattered clothes.
These ragged local villagers are the 'emergency' that the maid ran up to her.
Two arcanists watched.
This group of local residents who held harpoons and didn't seem to be a threat, if they could hurt a hair of her, she would be considered a loser.
Take it out calmly, when you rushed out of the bedroom just now, you didn't forget to bring the imperial canonization order with you.
This is a document issued by the emperor when she was canonized as the earl of the empire.
But obviously, none of this is intelligible to the barely-clothed, harpoon-wielding leader.
They all looked at an old man standing at the back among them.
The old man was full of silver hair, and his clothes were better than the strong young man standing in the front, but the original color of the clothes could not be seen from the starch.
Everyone in the little fishing village of Bella called him Old Tom.
It was also his routine inspection of the castle this morning, but he found that the gate of the castle was smashed, and then he ran to Beila Xiaohai Village to respond to everything.
So many people were called to 'siege' here.
Although Beilahai Village has not had a lord for a long time, and the castle has been abandoned for a long time.
But these have long been brainwashed by lawful good alignment philosophies.
Moreover, class views are deeply ingrained in their minds, making them unwilling to steal the property in the castle even if they are hungry.
On the contrary, they also dutifully watch over the castle.
For any uninvited guests who invade here, they will use all their strength to resist.
Old Tom tremblingly took the roll of documents in Charlie's hand with his wrinkled and rough hands with black mud between his nails.
The documents were stamped with the imperial emperor's personal coat of arms, as well as the coat of arms that the royal family would only use for official documents.
Old Tom didn't know much, but when he was young, he had been a small tax collector for the former lord of the land here, so he could read some words and count.
His rough fingers moved slowly over the document, stuttering to read the words on the document. Although he often ambiguously encountered unfamiliar vocabulary, he basically understood the meaning of the document.
While Old Tom was stuttering and reading the paperwork, Charlie looked around at the citizens who seemed to be in a sub-healthy state. Obviously they are all young and strong laborers, but all of them have sunken cheeks and ugly faces.
Their shabby clothes can't hide the emaciated physical condition underneath.
Jiang Mianmian, who traveled from a modern city full of flowers, couldn't help sighing. This was the first time she had come face to face with the lower class people in this world.
In the past, the term hungry stomach probably only appeared in those women who were motivated to lose weight and make themselves look better.
But now, he has a different perspective on the term.
Just as Charlie was sighing, Old Tom finally stumbled and saw the two coats of arms printed with wax paint at the bottom of the document.
He was lucky enough to see the same coat of arms pattern in the previous noble lord!
it is true!
Old Tom's cloudy eyes slowly shed two lines of tears.
He was a little at a loss, wiped his face with his dirty and wrinkled rough palms, and then stammered illogical words while crying and laughing at times.
I'm sorry.... We didn't receive any news before... Oh! Dragon God! What did we do? We did so many rude things to the great and honorable Lord Earl!
…oh! lads! Put down the goddamn harpoons!
Seeing that the problem seemed to be solved, Charlie was still in a state of low blood pressure when he got up early. She waved her hand and signaled Old Tom, who was full of snot and tears, to shut up, and then said:
We should have arrived about 20 days earlier than the messenger of the empire, which is why you were not notified.
However, I think this should not be a problem. After waiting for more than ten days, those heralds will always arrive here.
Ah... No, she hasn't fully recovered yet, she is completely unwell to talk about business, and always feels that what she says is just out of her head.
So, Charlie said to the excited old Tom: In short, you choose one person to stay. We will talk about business later, and the rest go back to do their own things, that's all.
After finishing speaking, Charlie walked towards the stairs weakly. When she thought that the largest master bedroom was on the top fourth floor, she didn't want to go back to wash up...
Climbing back to the clean but musty smelling room, just rolling on the bed, thinking about squinting for a while, Charlie was so startled by the sudden burning sensation on his left thumb that he almost jumped out of the bed. Jump up on the bed.
ah! It's you! Damn you dare to come out! Ahhh! ! Thief Ring!! I haven't settled with you after the last cheating!
Charlie's teeth itched with hatred, but there was nothing he could do with Moyu's finger.
A mocking golden word appeared in front of her eyes:
[Becoming a qualified lord series of tasks: 1. Patrol your territory. 】
[Task Reward: (Optional) Become an Arcane Apprentice / Two Ion Stones】
Charlie saw that the reward of two Ion stones was about to explode!
you go away!
It's still here? !
Ahhh!
Can I fall for you a second time?
...
Fifteen minutes later, Charlie washed up and sat down at the long banquet table in the castle.
The mercenary team and two arcanists had breakfast with her.
The hardworking maid served a plate of fried jerky and stone cakes for breakfast in front of everyone.
There is no way, there is nothing in the castle, and it is difficult for a clever woman to survive without rice.
They can only make do with it for the time being.
Where's the local resident? Ask him to come and eat with me. I just happened to ask him about his territory.
Charlie didn't realize that there was something wrong, but the maid hesitated to speak, and the mercenary squad also looked at each other in blank dismay.
Seeing that the maid Anne was still not moving, Charlie asked, Do you still want me to invite someone in person?
Annie is a qualified maid who has been trained by the nobles, so she boldly suggests: My lord, the vulgar citizens should not sit at the same table with you.
Charlie frowned and said, If I ask him questions about his territory, do I still need your consent? Well, don't waste my time anymore, go and call him over.
For the servant trained by the earl's widow, Charlie really felt that it was difficult to communicate, so he didn't bother to say more, and directly took out the airs of the master's house.
The maid had to timidly respond and call for someone.
Charlie, who doesn't have the strict concept of class hierarchy in this world, is very much like arcanists who act recklessly in this respect.
The only ones present who were very satisfied with the scene just now were the two old arcanists. The more they looked at Charlie, the more satisfied they became.
Not long after, the maid came in with Old Tom, who was walking nervously on the same hands and feet.
Holding a knife and fork in his hand, Charlie was struggling to stick to the roasted golden slice of meat, and looked up at Old Tom.
I saw him crumpling his dirty felt hat nervously with both hands.
His muddy shoes; bleached and mended clothes; and his hands full of dirty nails are out of tune with the brand-new earl's castle.
Although this castle Charlie, which is full of musty smell if you don't take care of it by the sea, is ten thousand people don't like it.
Charlie said to him kindly: Sit down and have some simple breakfast together, just as I have a lot of things to ask you.
Old Tom refused repeatedly in fright, but his body ran uncontrollably all the way, and finally sat at the end of the banquet table.
The red-robed arcanist moved quietly with his hand hidden under the table, avoiding the time-wasting wrangling.
Tom was startled, but soon his attention was diverted by the grilled meat slices in front of him that were frying until golden.
'Gudong' he swallowed uncontrollably.
He really hasn't eaten such a barbecue for a long time, and the gluttons in his stomach are screaming. Fortunately, the banquet table is long enough to prevent him from losing his composure in front of these noble gentlemen.
Answer my question, the food on the table is your reward. Charlie slowly cut the barbecue strips that he was tired of eating but had to continue eating, and lowered his voice.
Old Tom must tell the lord everything he knows. Tom was so excited that he almost raised his hand to swear, everything this morning was like a dream.
Very good, then you can briefly introduce to me now, Bella Coast, this piece of territory belongs to me.
Old Tom organized his words and began to stammer...
This is a barren land surrounded by the sea on three sides and a forest of monsters on one side.
Because it is close to the coast, sandy land is not suitable for planting.
There are ferocious sea beasts in the sea, so they cannot go fishing.
There are a large number of monsters in the forest, so that the people living on the Beira Coast will die or be injured every time they step into the forest to find food.
In short, this is a land of despair to suffocation.
After hearing old Tom's numb statement, Charlie was in no mood to eat the food in front of him.
Let's eat. Take me to inspect my territory after eating.
