The Defeated Dragon

Dinner.

It seems that every day in the castle there is a dinner - for nobles, eating and drinking is the normal life.

“Was piracy prevalent on Little Papa Island, Mr. Marcus, in the Grand Duchy of Sapphire?” Lister ate the barbecue and asked.

Marcus replied with a reticence: "Nearly all small islands have been baptized by pirates from pirate sources alone, but there may be another reason. ”

“For what reason? ”

“These pirates, most likely in disguise. Not every aristocratic family can run a rich estate, and when they face the brink of bankruptcy, risk-taking can be a shortcut to self-redemption. Especially among hateful nobles, even as pirates, to loot each other's wealth. ”

Hear these bloody messages.

If it were the predecessor, the 16-year-old, it would likely be unwilling to accept - the nobility of his own blood, his countless qualities, his part-time work as a pirate, which is incredible.

But now Lester, just a little frown wrinkled, quickly unfolded: “Fortunately, Coral Island has a powerful Knight's Regiment, and Flower Town is not yet in danger of piracy. But we have to live in Anthracite, Mr. Marcus, and the Knight Squad must train well. ”

“Rest assured, my lord, Knight Squad, I will do everything in my power to rehearse each of them into a qualified battlefield knight. ”

Lester turned to Gaultai: “Mr. Gaultai, the new serfs, let's report now. I think it's best to talk about business when we eat. ”

“If you like, talk about it now.” Gaultai instructed a servant to take his coat and pull a thick piece of leather paper out of his pocket and open it, "a total of fifty serfs, in fact all of whom were free citizens, chose to flee intelligently after the pirate attack. ”

Little Papa Island has a little Papa City, and these 50 people are citizens of the city and own their own property.

The relationship between free people and lords is more like that between tenants and landlords, and serfs belong to slaves. For aristocrats, serfs are “own people”, while free people belong to “outsiders”. In the event of an inter-lord war, the lords choose to protect their serfs, which is their treasure.

Free people do not have this protection, they deserve to die, and the lord can make a little extra money.

Consequently, free citizenship has its advantages and disadvantages, and not everyone wants to be a free citizen.

Some of the free people of Little Papa City, seeing the defeat of Little Papa Viscount, waited for themselves to be killed by the “pirates” at any moment to seize their possessions and flee quickly. They smartly chose to take the ship while the pirates were still in the castle, taking a sailboat.

Unfortunately, the light had a helm captain, but no skilled crew, who eventually lost control in the storm.

“So they have no land, they are free people with craft.” Lester was satisfied with this, and craftsmen were more important to the development of the territory than mere farmers.

Farmers wait for future slave traders to get as much as they want, but craftsmen are hard to come by.

“Blacksmiths, drummers, embroiderers, tailors, bakers, winemakers, shoe polishers, carpenters, dyers, soap makers, nitro-leathers, sugar workers, salters, locksmiths, chefs and their families, oh, and hotel owners and horse traders, as well as several street vendors. ”

“What is Bunir's profession?” Lester remembers the old man talking to himself during the day.

“He is a soap maker who makes a variety of soaps with a floral flavour. ”

“Good, I've had enough bathing with soap horn powder, it's best to let him quickly make soap horn powder into soap.” As a cleaner who takes a daily bath, Lester needs a lot of soap, not so much soap in the castle of Naijo, only some soap horn powder - powdered by the fruit of the soap horn tree.

Soap horn powder does wash, but it's cumbersome and doesn't feel good when washing.

In fact, Lester knows a simpler cleaning article - pancreas.

It is a kind of soap mixed with the pancreas and grass ash of a pig. It is simple to make, mixed with the pancreas of a pig and grass ash to create the easiest pancreas. No one feeds a pig in Nieho Flower Town...

He cut a piece of barbecue, forked it up and dipped it in a little tomato sauce.

BBQ with tomato sauce, tastes good.

He swallowed it and drank another sip of seafood soup, which satisfied him by wiping his mouth with a napkin: "The new serf's working arrangements, Mr. Carter and Teacher Gaultai discussed. Suitable arrangements can be made to the town to help them set up shops and create needs specifically for the castle. ”

Too few people live in small towns, obviously with little need, and as a lord, he has to be allowed to enjoy all of this.

Only in this way will the craftsmen be able to make a difference in a short time.

Carter said, “Yes, sir, I'll ask Mr. Gaultai. ”

Finish talking about the new serfs.

Lester spoke of another official function: "The efficiency of the logging team still needs to be improved, but now that new problems have arisen, there are often other things that will lead me and Mr. Marcus away, when the defenses of the logging team, like empty spaces, are dangerous. ”

“But we can't find more power to protect the Beast of Thorn Ridge. ”

“So I think there is a need for a way for logging teams to be able to defend themselves even if they encounter warcraft.” Lester said faintly.

No one immediately replied and was thinking.

Lester was also anxious to continue eating his own dinner.

In fact, he's testing a few of you, and he already has an idea, an idea that's very likely to deal with warcraft.

This approach stems from the smoke mission.

After the rescue of the sea boat in the morning, he completed his mission.

“Complete the mission and reward 50 people. ”

“Mission: Danger deep in Thorn Ridge can occur at any time, the logging team is in a precarious situation, acting as a smoky lord, making reasonable use of resources and protecting the physical safety of the people, please resist an invasion from a warcraft. Reward: Ultra Small Mineral Reserve. ”

The mission has been made clear that smoked weed can be used to defend against the beast.

The smell of smoked weed, Lister felt quite deeply, and Warcraft may not be able to stand it, especially some Warcraft's very sensitive nose.

So he plans to make a simple "Monster Mosquito Scent" out of smoked weed, and when he encounters a monster, he lights it a little.

For "miniature mineral deposits," he was determined to win.

But instead of saying the plan directly, he hoped that someone would come up with it, otherwise there would always be a feeling of a bunch of wastewood eating and drinking for nothing.

After a moment, no one came up with a good idea.

This disappointed Lester, and as he was about to announce his plan, Isaiah suddenly said: "Lord Baron, perhaps we can use fire! The wild beast is afraid of fire, pine trees are among the trees cut down, this tree is very easy to burn, we can burn the branch leaves cut down constantly, so the warcraft will be scared! ”
