Unspeakable bubbles

"Commander-in-Chief, if they can't even recognize the lord they serve, how can their loyalty be high?"

Krov laughed and said, "The first thing the village chiefs I promote do is look at your picture for a whole day and night."

"Oh? As Bubble patrolled the area, all the village chiefs immediately recognized him. Are they all the village chiefs you recently promoted, Crove?"

“That’s right. The original village chiefs are old, their memories are not good, and their hands and feet are not fast enough.”

"I felt that continuing to let them be village chiefs was not conducive to the development of the territory, so I simply carried out a major reshuffle."

He pointed to the young man who was trembling after listening to the two men: "These young people may lack experience, but they are energetic and willing to learn."

"kindness"

The little girl jumped off her horse and walked to the village chief's side: "You must work hard and not let Krov down."

"Yes, yes, Your Excellency!"

"Let's go, let's go, let's take a good look around the village."

The village chief followed a step behind the little girl and began to talk about the changes in the village.

“My lord, look at this flat and wide road. Just a few months ago, this was a muddy field!”

“Since the road was built, merchants have occasionally come to our village to buy grain.”

"Sigh, I never dared to dream of this before. Villagers used to carry bags of rice to the roadside in town and sell it."

"If there were no shops selling it on the street, the price would be much lower, almost a fire sale."

"Uh-huh"

The little girl nodded repeatedly, and Krov, standing beside her, also beamed with pride.

After all, these are all his achievements!

"Your Excellency!"

At that moment, someone suddenly pushed open the door and rushed out of the house in front.

As soon as the guard put his hand on the hilt of the knife, he instinctively dropped to the ground.

"My lord, please allow me to follow you!"

Section 490, Chapter 489: The Great Fool of Yogtis

"What happened?"

Croft looked at the village chief with displeasure: "How did this guy just run out like that?"

The village chief looked mournful. He had gone door-to-door early that morning to inform everyone that the Earl was visiting today and no one should leave their homes.

How could anyone be so bold!

Upon closer inspection of the person lying on the ground, the village chief quickly said, "Lord Krov, this person is not from our village."

"This guy was an outsider who wanted to find work in a nearby town. I felt sorry for him, so I found an empty house for him to stay in for one night."

"I said I'd leave early this morning, I didn't expect to disturb the Earl!"

'Damn it! If I'd known it would cause this kind of trouble, I definitely wouldn't have accepted those ten copper coins!'

"Oh, what a coincidence! I just arrived in this village yesterday, and I've already run into the Earl today."

"I think he must be a spy from somewhere else."

Upon hearing what Krov said, a guard immediately drew his sword and went over.

"Wait a minute, you, get up first."

"Yes!"

After standing up, Bubble realized that this clumsy guy was thin and short.

In his early twenties, he was skin and bones, and a head shorter than most people his age.

Her eyes are a bit small, and her face is flushed, whether from nervousness or fear, I don't know.

'Hmm, it looks like a monkey.'

Thinking of this, the little girl couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't be nervous, look at you, your legs are shaking."

"Take a deep breath, the bubbles won't eat you."

"Yes, it is!"

"What's your name?"

"My name is Monk!"

"Monk? Hmm, Bubble's asking you, are you a spy?"

"I am absolutely not a spy, Your Excellency!"

Monk trembled and lay down again: "I originally wanted to rest for a while and then go to the nearby town to find work. But, but I didn't expect to run into you, Earl, on your inspection tour."

"Oh? You were originally looking for work, so why did you suddenly decide to follow Bubble?"

"My lord, since we're all working for others, it's naturally better to work for the lord."

"What can you do?" the little girl asked with great interest.

"Chopping wood, cooking, serving tea and water, washing clothes, feeding the horses... I can do everything!"

“Master, any servant could do these things. There’s no need to hire this unknown person,” Annie whispered in the little girl’s ear.

“Monk, any servant could do what you’re talking about.”

Do you have any special skills?

"..."

After a moment of silence, Monk lay on the ground and shouted, "I have no skills, only unwavering loyalty!"

"puff"

Krov couldn't help but laugh. Now he no longer thought this guy was a spy. What kind of spy would shout that he had no skills?

What loyalty? We've only just met, what loyalty could you possibly have?

The little girl looked puzzled; she could tell that the man named Monk wasn't lying.

But... that's strange.

"Monk, is this our first time meeting?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, this is the first time I have met someone as distinguished as you."

"Then where does your loyalty come from?"

The little girl asked curiously, "You said it yourself, this is the first time we've met."

"I've always had a dream."

"Although my family has been farming for generations, I always dreamed that one day I could make something of myself and become a person of honor."

The village chief stared at him in astonishment. A farmer wanted to become a 'noble person'? This guy must be crazy.

"I've thought it over. If I want to achieve my dream of becoming a distinguished person, there's only one way—to gain the favor of an even more distinguished and important figure!"

"But, but, I have no skills whatsoever, how could those more distinguished and important figures possibly appreciate me?"

Monk said in a deep voice, "After thinking it over, the only thing I have that adults might appreciate is 'loyalty'."

"I see."

The little girl tilted her head and asked, "Then why did you choose Bubble and not someone else?"

“My lord, I have never had the right to ‘choose’. I would never normally encounter someone as distinguished as you.”

Monk smiled wryly and said, "Today was really just an accident."

"Ah, although meeting you was unexpected, I truly believe you are a worthy mentor to follow!"

"How to say?"

The little girl realized that the guy hadn't told a single lie, so she patiently asked him further.

"Although you have a bad reputation in the territory..."

"Shut up!"

"nonsense!"

"spy!"

Everyone's expression changed, and the village chief was so frightened that he sat down on the ground with a thud.

"How dare you slander the Earl! Drag him away and behead him!" Krov said angrily.

Monk lay on the ground, his body trembling even more violently.

"Hmm, what did they say about bubbles?"

Seeing that the Earl continued to question him, the guards stopped slashing at Monk.

"The people in the territory all say that Your Excellency is a tyrant."

"You favor this scoundrel, who is also a complete, utter, big, big fool."

'Damn it, where did this greenhorn come from!'

Krov's eyes widened, while the village chief's face turned ashen.

"That's not right."

The little girl shook her head: "Bubble is a good child, neither a tyrant nor a fool."

"I, I also think they're wrong. You are a good lord!"

Monk took a deep breath and steadied his racing heartbeat.

“My lord, I have traveled to many places, and some of the lords in the territories do indeed have very good reputations.”
