Throne of the North

Appia thought for a long time and couldn't figure out what tasks assassins like them needed to use knowledge to carry out. In the past, it was enough for them to assassinate the target.

Sitting in front of the stone window sill, as the leader of the cat people, his residence is very gorgeous. It is one of the stone mansions at the foot of Rhinoceros Mountain. The only people who can live here are the distinguished lords of Tundra.

From the window, you can look up at the lord's castle on Rhinohorn Mountain, which has become more and more colorful recently.

Being able to learn knowledge is a good thing for the cat tribe, so Appia did not refuse and was not qualified to refuse.

He agreed as if he was following the crowd, so he was rewarded with this stone house. According to Baron Lane, he hired people with no suspicion. Since he accepted their allegiance, he would not doubt it.

He went to see the cat people of the tribe. They lived on the south side of a mountain. There were many houses built there. They were originally used for farmers, but now they became the houses of the cat people, allowing them to take care of the terraced fields on the mountain, plant and cultivate them. Some herbs or something.

Cat people are very good at these things. Before there was the extraordinary system of cat assassins, cat people were the doctors of many orc tribes. This was their only value.

Appia also found it strange that before, he was loyal to a count, and now he is loyal to a baron. There is a huge gap in title, but the catman's treatment is many times better.

He was free all of a sudden.

He put on a hood and covered his body and head. There was a wooden plaque around his waist. The wooden plaque was engraved with the imprint of Rhinohorn Mountain. It was a badge and also represented his identity.

Appia was walking in the towns of the Tundra Territory. He had seen cities and towns, but it was difficult to tell whether the land he was walking on was a city or a town.

It's more than a small town, but it doesn't seem to be as comprehensive as a city, but it's much cleaner than a city.

Well, clean, this was Appia's first feeling. Being only one meter tall, he could see the ground under his feet more clearly than humans. Except for a little dust, there was no garbage.

For the cold north, there is not much dust, so the cleanliness of the streets is very comfortable.

The streets he was walking on were not the main roads in the Tundra Territory. There were a lot of people there, and he naturally didn't like places with so many people, so he couldn't see the busy shops or the human children running on the streets.

On both sides of the ground under his feet were residences. Through the cracks in the doors, he could see human women weaving, mending, washing, feeding animals, and cleaning...

It is a very simple and unpretentious life, but Appia is very envious. He also knows that these women and men are busy outside at the moment. There does not seem to be a lot of terraced land in the Tundra Territory, but Baron Lane has created a lot of work, which requires ordinary people to come out. Working hard.

He gradually came to a famous street in the Tundra Territory, which is said to be called Exnel Street. There are many carpenters living here. They have exquisite skills. How advanced are they?

In Appia's opinion, these carpenters were arguing about who was telling stories to the little guy next to them, but they still kept making wooden tools in their hands, which were shovels sent from Blacksmith Street. These carpenters tied them tightly, and then the little guy next to them excitedly took a broom to sweep the sawdust on the ground.

The quarrel continued, and Appiah saw that one of the parties to the quarrel was a street administrator. The other party was wearing standard clothes and acted on behalf of the street administrative officer. There were two people standing next to him, wearing similar clothes. , representing the street magistrates and security officers.

There will be three such officials loyal to the lord in every street in the Tundra Territory. Each official will have a dozen errands under his command, and the security officer will have more under his command.

The management of these streets assists the higher lords in managing each street, and it is said that they are also paid. In many cases, ordinary people, especially the slaves in the slums, do not dare to speak loudly to these people.

But it’s different here. This is Exner Street. All the carpenters in the territory gather here. They are a huge force. The best carpenters can even directly communicate with the governor of the Tundra Territory, Aitri. When communicating with Asia, the political officials would look at their faces.

Appia, the subject of the quarrel, was a little confused when he heard it. It seemed that these managers were asking the carpenters to hurry up and make some large objects and transport them to the mountains to build something.

But the carpenter retorted that the tools needed in the territory were requested by the lord himself. How could they do other things without finishing these things.

Finally, the man representing the Adjudicator made his decision.

"The things on the mountain have the highest priority. The lord must see the results within a month, otherwise the allocation of the following carpentry work to these carpenters will be reduced."

The carpenters were defeated. To build the watchtower on the mountain, the lord assigned the carpenters to work. There was no extra reward other than ensuring food, but they could make profits from ordinary carpenter work.

Especially recently, another group of people called traders arrived, saying that they would give them some copper coins if they wanted the exquisite craft crops in their hands.

This can undoubtedly increase some income, but there is no way. Although the carpenter dares to make noise with these people, he does not dare to really refuse.

After watching the excitement, Apia left here like everyone else. Carpenter Street was filled with the smell of sawdust, while Blacksmith Street was filled with fierce and ear-straining knocking.

This is the warmest place in the entire frozen land. Many people like to come here, which led to the sheriff blocking the street and limiting the flow of people in and out.

Compared with the quarrels over the carpenters, there are no more trivialities here except the sound of hammers and roaring flames.

First, it is because of the blacksmiths. Everyone is a blacksmith, and each one is very strong, better than those sheriffs.

Another thing is that the entire Blacksmith Street is done according to the will of Lord Ryan and the chief craftsman. Those political officials must consider the views of the lord and the attitude of the master craftsman when they want to do something.

The lord is too far away and they can't contact him, but if the master craftsman is not polite to them, no one can help them.

So Blacksmith Street is full of joy.

Apia walked to the largest blacksmith shop. It was very quiet here, including outside the blacksmith shop. No one stayed there.

Because they couldn't afford the things here.

"Master Brock, Master Ryan said you're back and asked me to ask you for a batch of goods."

Brock picked up Apia, and the bearded man said:

"Are you the cat man that the lord has just recruited?"
