Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 296 293. Letter of Appointment

"Your Excellency Sherman is like this. I heard that if you have good wine, you will die." Alexey Zhuoqin explained with some helplessness, "Can you take me to continue the tour?"

"Of course, let's go to the north of the city!" Rand and the middle priest rode to the north gate of the city.

The two suns are about to end, and smoke rises from the tent area outside the north gate, reflecting different levels of light under the setting sun.After almost a month of resettlement, although the first batch of barbarian tribes who arrived have been divided into 8 branches, there are now more people in the north of the city.

"Do you think your current territory is more like a barbarian tribe, or more like a human territory?" Alexei followed Rand to the castle outside the north gate, looking at the layers of tents in the distance, and asked casually .

"Mr. Priest, when I laid down the barbarian camp for the first time, I found that the barbarians on the plain were richer than me. They wore iron armor, rode the best horses, and used magic pattern boards that we couldn't afford. The leader's tent is more comfortable than our so-called castle." Rand looked at his territory and replied,

"But when I won the southeastern part of the Benma Plain and began to accept the barbarian tribes, I realized that using the simple concept of 'barbarian' to describe it is no problem for the nobles of the empire, but for me It is not possible, because different tribes live in completely different ways. For example, the barbarians in the southeast have formed a breeding alliance for black scaled horses, while the tribes in the southwest are divided according to the supply chain of iron ore. The half-orcs in the wolf forest often come into contact with them, while those in the north mostly live by fishing and hunting, and the barbarians in the far west of the plain are almost mixed with orcs.

More importantly, I used to think that the barbarians made a living by plundering and grazing. Later, I realized that the barbarians actually relied on selling minerals and equipment to obtain low-priced food from the empire. From any angle , They have an industrial cooperation relationship with the empire. "

"Your statement...is very novel." Although the priest knew this well, but as a person from the imperial capital, he admitted that the barbarians were the industrial partners of the empire, but he couldn't bear it. "But they are all barbarians."

"Of course, according to a certain theory, I'm also a barbarian," Rand said, and both of them laughed.

"Master Viscount," Alexey also explained at this time: "According to the administrative order of the empire, the ruling symbol of a territory is to establish an effective and running city, but Yeqi City is a city with a complete magic circle, so You can’t rely solely on the operation of the magic circle, so you have to visit the entire city, and now your management of Yeqi City is recognized by the entire empire, if barbarians, orcs, or other human races dare to attack here, the empire will directly intervene!"

"It's great." The two returned to Padmira Palace while chatting about food production and vegetables, and saw two drunken dwarves in the dining room.

The document that completed the reading ceremony by itself was re-rolled and fell into the hands of the legendary dwarf. Sherman pushed the letter of appointment to Rand, "Be good boy, this document is to recognize your ruling status in Ye Qi , As for the specific title in the future, it depends on the size of your territory at the end of the year!"

In the setting sun, the two of them arrived at the edge of the farmland in the south of the city and looked at patches of vegetable fields and barns.

"I'm afraid the magic turbulence on the plain must be improved first. I don't think the barbarians are willing to live here, but that this place is only suitable for the barbarians."

"Oh, that's right, I almost forgot the business." The dwarf patted his head, "Go and call all your subordinates, there is a document to be read out here!"

"Praise Your Majesty, praise the Holy Supreme Council! Praise the galloping horse!" Ascetic Monk Wright Duoliner took the lead in admiring, leading all the knights and mages with rand to praise in unison.

The so-called acceleration circle was taught to Sofia and Wendy by Biloska and other intermediate mages. It uses magic to speed up the flow of time and space in a closed space. It is essentially a variant of the magic circle on the magic sealing box.With such magical means, Rand could obtain enough food to brew potion wine.

May 997, 5 in the Imperial God Emperor's Calendar. "

About half an hour later, all the knights and magicians above the junior level in the camp, including Tania, arrived. In the eyes of everyone, Sherman showed a trace of legendary majesty. On his arms exposed by short sleeves, The original blue and brown tattoos were cracked with golden light, and the original dark blue eyes also emitted golden light.

"Haha, young man, your wine is really exciting!" Sherman was not deeply drunk, but his face was already flushed. "It's been a long time since I've had such a good drink! The mages here are also powerful enough to know how to use the time magic circle to speed up the brewing of wine. How can an ordinary viscount have such skill?"

"Master Viscount, let me remind you that imperial nobles who are far away from grain-producing areas can apply for food subsidies, and can also apply for transportation subsidies. I think I can leave a lot of gold coins for your food."

"But you brought them His Majesty's faith, shouldn't you make them human?"

In order to celebrate his rule over Yeqi City being recognized by the empire, Rand held a special celebratory dinner and invited the legendary dwarves and mid-level priests to dine together.

"Hahaha" The red palm slapped the table loudly, and Sherman's mouth was a little unclear, "Food, tools, gold coins are still the kind of barrels that speed up the magic circle. If you need anything, just tell me, I will help you." I'll bring it to you tomorrow, and you can have as much wine as you want!"

Praise the great human empire, the supreme god-emperor and the holy supreme council!
Human Empire Aristocratic Civil Services Division

Lander looked at the whole tank of 52-degree grain wine drunk by the legend in front of him, and felt a little distressed, "Chief, I use this wine to raise those intermediate plants. After you drink it like this, I have to make a few more. It takes months to do this.”

The legend took out a scroll, and as the scroll unfolded in the air, a standard voice of the common language of the human empire appeared: "According to the decision of the Supreme Council of the Holy Empire on May 997, 5 in the Era of the Emperor, Ye Qi is appointed to liberate The leader of the Dragon Empire, the lord of the Northwest Roth Viscount Lander Benma, is the lord of the southern Benma Plain, and the territory will be reported to the Holy Supreme Council of the Empire according to the actual occupied scale before the end of 19. The decision will take effect immediately.

"No matter how different their gods or specialties are, they are all called barbarians. This is determined by the magical environment on the Galloping Horse Plain. I can't change the environment, so I have to adapt to this kind of life." Rand pointed God, "But in this city, because of the leylines, the way of the human race can bring out the most value, and I will manage it in the way of the nobles. For me, the barbarian and the human race are both reasonable choices to adapt to the environment , I have no value orientation towards these two kinds of values ​​in my heart.”

"Your Excellency, do you still have business to come here?" Alexei couldn't help but reminded the legendary dwarf who was crazy about drinking.

"Viscount Lant, your food is a bit greasy." Sherman held a stewed steel bristle pork knuckle in his left hand, half a grilled lamb chop in his right hand, and a large barrel of the highest-strength white wine, which he just swallowed. Roast goose. "I heard that child Ben Kaur said that the food you offered to His Majesty is also such a greasy food. How can a person like His Majesty who pays attention to diet eat such a greasy thing? Next time, you should directly send it to me. !"

"Boom" Before Lante could respond, a stick bone slipped from the hand of Alexei who was beside the dwarf. "Your Excellency Sherman, who did you hear this from?" Alexei asked. dwarf.

"Who else is there, not the apprentices of His Majesty's legends, they said, your food is greasy, but they didn't eat a single bite"

"Ah? Originally, I wanted to make tamales and soft fried prawns for the next tribute, or else I should change it to the monster meat for the Great Forest." Lante didn't think too much about the evaluation of his food in the Tower of Purity, but subconsciously Make modifications according to the legend's dictation.

"Oh, can your majesty still send you this food? You should send it to me!" The dwarf gnawed on the pork knuckle, completely ignoring Alexei's eyes full of hatred.
