Warlord: King of All Clans

Because of the obstruction of the mountains in the west, it gets dark very early in the winter in River Bay. As soon as Nairn came out of the big house, dusk had already enveloped the town of River Bay.

At the top of the wizard's tower, a ball of light condensed from magic power emitted a light blue light, illuminating the entire lord's house.

With the addition of various ancillary buildings, the lord's house in the river bend formed a complex, covering an increasingly larger area.

On the main street extending from the lord's palace, the street office's dog-headed cleaning team was dragging a truck full of lanterns. They lit up the lanterns one by one and hung them on the lampposts on the main street to provide lighting for pedestrians returning home.

The three small urban areas of Hewan Town can be roughly divided into the Artisan Area, the Soldier Area and the Savage Area. However, as time goes by, except for the Savage Area, very few imperial people live there, and the population composition of the other two areas has begun to mix.

However, the main urban area on the peninsula is still home to most of the families of middle and senior management and senior technical personnel.

The head of their family is the backbone of Hewan, but the rest of the members are not all burdens. Many women and the elderly are also active in various industries.

Especially in markets, ports and workshops, the old woman selling things on the street might be the mother of a general or a steward, or the old bartender in a tavern might be the elder of a large clan and the original shareholder of the river bend.

Therefore, those outsiders who, after arriving at the river bend, can't wait to show off their aristocratic style and demonstrate the hegemony of the rich will often be severely slapped in the face.

In late winter, it was already dark when workers got off work, and many people could only walk with torches. In order to avoid fires, the street office had to provide safer public lighting.

Unlike the thick snow outside the town, there is almost no trace of snow on the main road of Hewan Town, and there is a constant stream of pedestrians returning home.

The kobold cleaning team had no concept of snow clearing. They first struggled to find garbage in the snow, and then forgot about their job and played with the human children in the snow.

It was not until the rulers returned home from get off work or the elderly and weak at home went out to sweep the snow that these unruly ogres were driven away.

But no one can do anything to them. These underage or newly adult members of the kobold cleaning team are also the children of the kobold blacksmiths in the forge workshop.

In order to prevent them from living a life of idleness and waiting for death, or even causing trouble, the lord's mansion had to support them and assign them some simple jobs.

Of course, whether they are the blacksmiths' biological children is still debatable. After all, when they were forced to come by Fraser with various reasons, they simply couldn't recognize who their biological father was.

After becoming rich, Fesa wanted to take back these second-generation ogres who had received a certain amount of education and were about to reach adulthood. However, the second-generation ogres had gotten used to living in the river bend, and no one wanted to go back to the Gnoll Valley.

Seeing Nain passing by, many familiar people would greet him, "Nain, you're back?"

"Yes, I'm back, Aunt Mary!"

"Little Nain, you're doing pretty well, you look like a decent person."

“Thanks for the compliment, Uncle Bob!”

It took the ogre Nain more than ten minutes to walk with a small gift to the mansion of Wind Knight Wood.

This is a living area that was planned out in the later period of Hewan. It is a high-end residential area. Although it occupies a much smaller area than the noble mansion in Isenbol, it is quieter.

The Wind Knights all have their own independent courtyards, and are assigned two maids, a male servant, and a cook to take care of their daily lives.

Nain straightened his collar before knocking on the courtyard door.

The butler in charge of the housekeeping opened the door and looked down to see a well-dressed dog-headed man visiting. He was surprised, but did not drive the man away. Instead, he asked patiently.

"What can I do for you?"

"I'm Nairn, a good friend of your master Wood! This is my little gift."

A dog-headed man wearing a high-quality woolen top and a thick leather coat, a mink warm hood, and a golden brooch on his chest. The servant had been in the river bend for more than a year, but he had not seen many of them.

What's more, this kobold was carrying a box of gifts.

He took the gift and almost dropped it because the palm-sized gift box was quite heavy.

"Okay, you... wait a moment."

Soon, Nairn was taken into the mansion and into the small living room, where he sat under the fireplace with Wood to keep warm and chat.

The Wind Knight Wood is a young knight in his twenties. Both his physique and temperament are traditional Northern knight style. However, compared to the local corner flags, he is from a large family after all and has a good aristocratic upbringing.

Seeing Nairn coming to his house, he couldn't wait to jump off the sofa and look around, wagging his tail and sniffing everywhere. Wood said helplessly: "Little Nairn, what do you want to do with me? Doesn't the mistress give you candy?"

He actually didn't consider Nain as a friend. Being a good friend was just wishful thinking on the other side.

It was only after arriving at the River Bend that Wood came into contact with the kobolds for the first time.

Influenced by his lord, he also tried to live in peace with these foreign races.

In Stonebreak, because of his good manners and peaceful attitude, all the high-ranking officials of Riverbend who needed to communicate with him were close to him, and Nairn was one of them.

Moreover, Wood had a higher salary, more money, and plenty of food and pastries in his room.

Olivia would often keep Nairn's salary for him to marry in the future, so Nairn could not eat delicious taffy and the increasingly abundant snacks in River Bay every day.

He liked to visit Wood's room and eat all the snacks he used to entertain guests.

Wood didn't mind at all and often talked to Nairn. He never looked at him strangely and even took the initiative to invite Nairn to eat new snacks, so Nairn regarded him as his best friend.

But Wood actually just thought of him as a greedy and playful kid from the neighborhood, a relatively well-behaved and cute one.

Nain's thoughts were exposed, but he was not shy at all. He still wagged his tail and stuck out his tongue. "The boss said that if you eat too much sugar, your teeth will fall out!"

He then explained the reason for his visit, "Congratulations to Knight Wood on becoming the new Lord Knight."

Wood was stunned. "I became a Knight Lord? How come I didn't know it?"

Nain took out the small notebook he carried with him, spread out the map inside, and pointed to an area north of Linhai Town. "Woof! Knight Wood Territory, your territory!"

In the team formed by Leo, he belonged to the civil service system and was the first to know the basic information of the United Knights.

Wood belongs to the military system. He only needs to lead troops to fight and basically does not need to understand the administrative aspects.

Wood looked at the United Knights Territory on the scribbled map and the plot of land named after him, and said speechlessly, "How did I become a knight lord? This piece of land seems to be a wasteland, right?"

The lord granted him a fief, but there were neither people nor arable land in the fief, and he was not notified at all.

It’s so lonely!

But as we all know, Rio Mundo never does serious things, so even if he is suddenly crowned a self-proclaimed king, Wood can accept it calmly.
