Mage Lord: The Tech Tree is Skewed by Me

Danielsson took control of the thorns because Leon's promised time to send troops was three days later.

Don't think this time is very long. In today's era, three days can actually be considered fast.

For most nobles in this era, after deciding to go to war, they usually had to go through many steps.

First, you need to inform your vassals, then summon the militia in the territory, then gather from a certain location, and then...

The whole process is quite long, and the nobles are already used to such efficiency.

Therefore, since Danielson himself was not qualified to urge him, he simply took advantage of his recovery time to wander around the city of Thorn Territory.

This city looks far less tall and less prosperous than Gray Water Castle, but it has survived the invasion of the plateau hounds incomprehensibly.

What Danielson didn't expect was that even though the world was aware of the barrenness of Antolia, the people living on this land seemed to have a better life than Gray Water Castle.

Even after going through a tough and dangerous battle, he was still able to arrange work for his subjects in the winter!

As for the citizens working on the construction site, there was no trace of sadness or fatigue on their faces, and some even had smiles on their faces!

Danielson couldn't figure out why this was happening, so he stopped a passing serf and asked, and then he learned that the young lord named Leon was actually giving out work points to people.

Danielson didn't know what work points were, but according to his understanding, they should be something similar to Andal silver coins.

Even if you let the residents work, you will still be paid? !

What a prodigal!

Could it be that after selling some moonlight velvet, I felt that I had enough money, and then started messing around?

This made Danielson feel tired about the future financial situation of the Thorn Territory, and also worried about the future of the Jimena family.

You know, according to the regulations of the Kingdom of Andal, even free people must take time to perform labor for the local lord every year. How can any nobleman be willing to pay these untouchables when they are full!

It doesn't matter if the family is ruined, but if the Jimena family is defeated, then from now on, wouldn't Gray Water Castle have to face those plateau hounds every year in the Year of the Jackdaw? !

Danielsson felt that he needed to provide the young lord with some advice from the older generation.

Even if he is just a knight.

He is doing this for Antolia’s sake!

…

Lord's Castle.

Leon didn't know the strange thoughts in Danielson's mind. At this time, he was listening attentively to Fast's description of the plateau hound in the hall of the castle.

The plateau hounds have extremely poor eyesight, and they mainly identify enemies through their sense of smell. If the Viscount's people decide to send troops to help, they can have the soldiers apply the animal blood collected during the previous fierce battles on their bodies, which may have unexpected effects.

Standing in front of Leon, Lapruk Priest Fast said seriously.

Beast blood?

Yes.

Fast nodded: Although the Lapluk people relied on the stone tablets to avoid the possibility of being attacked by plateau hounds, we cannot stay in the camp all winter.

Whenever they go hunting, the tribesmen will smear the blood of plateau hounds on their bodies to avoid becoming the targets of those monsters.

Since the blood of plateau hounds also has the effect of strengthening the body, and Leon also needs animal blood as raw material to prepare the thermometer, the soldiers had already collected animal blood when cleaning the battlefield.

The blood of these monsters may be affected by the black mist. Not only does it not dry up, it is also very easy to preserve. Apart from having an extremely strong smell of blood, it has no shortcomings.

If this is really the case, then you have done me a big favor and made a great contribution!

Leon said in a deep voice.

It is an honor for the people of Lapruk to serve the Viscount.

Today, Fast has already sincerely accepted the young lord in front of him.

Especially after he saw the few books that Leon had specially taken out for him from the ancient archives, Fast had no doubts about Leon.

In his eyes, Leon Jimena, or the Jimena family, are the remnants of the restoration of the country just like the descendants of the ancestors. They not only have the same origin, but also have the same heart and mind.

Even if Leon says that he has nothing to do with the ancestors, that won't work!

During these days, the reason why Fast had been looking through the books provided by Leon, looking for the history of the ancestors and the genealogy of the Jimena family, was to connect the Jimena family with Asgard.

Even if he is making up, he is determined to make up a history that is glorious and heavy enough for the Jimena family, so that it will be a matter of course for the Lapruk people to regard Leon as their lord!

Only in this way can we use this as an excuse to gather the entire Antolia mountain tribes and descendants of the ancestors around the Jimena family.

As for whether Leon was a descendant of the First People, Fast didn't care.

In other words, he has no right to care.

The only thing Fast hopes for now, or the purpose of doing all this, is to make Antolia develop a little faster, a little faster, so that he can set foot on the other side of the mountain range again in his lifetime. The land allows the Lapuluk people to return to the homeland of their ancestors.

The Viscount is going north to quell the chaos this time. He also hopes that the Lapluk people can accompany the army on the expedition.

Perhaps in fighting the army, the Lapluk people cannot compare with those battle-hardened mercenaries, but when it comes to fighting wild beasts and monsters like plateau hounds, the Lapluk warriors ask themselves that they are no less than any other. people!

Fast said very firmly.

In his opinion, although today's mountain people have participated in the old house renovation plan of the Thorn Territory and have become one with the people of the Thorn Territory, they have never fought with Leon's mercenaries.

Only by facing the common enemy head-on can the Lapluk people be better integrated into the Thorn Territory, and some people will not be gossiping behind their backs.

Same as I thought.

Leon said with a smile:

But...how many young men in the Lapruk tribe are capable of going into battle?

Hearing this, Fast quickly replied:

All Lapuluk people, regardless of age or sex, are soldiers. Anyone over the age of eight can go out with the army!

The difficult environment in the mountains has tempered the heroic and fearless spirit of the Lapruk people. Like the Antolian people, they are never afraid of death, let alone war.

Ah this...

Leon was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile:

You don't need that many. Two hundred people are enough.

In that case, I'm going to do a head count.

As soon as Fast finished speaking, he left in a hurry, as if he was afraid that Leon would change his mind temporarily, leaving him dumbfounded for a moment.

Mr. Lai is going north to quell the chaos, and he needs enough [Follow-up Reading] to boost morale! I hope you will support me!
