Chapter 120 Things that must be chatted in private alone (please subscribe!)

I hope Fuma can wake up as soon as possible...

In the secret place, Roy sighed and thought.

Although he was eager to know the news about his original father, Jess Tullumbel, Fuma was unconscious and he couldn't force it. All he could do was wait.

After thinking about it, Roy stood up from the ground and prepared to go for a walk outside.

Today is the fifth day after the Bonnyang Festival.

Judging from the current situation and the monitoring of the Shadow Crows, the temple does not plan to take any additional actions against the Blackstone Territory.

In fact, this is normal.

In the eyes of the world, Roy is just a lord and lord of a small territory in Rafah Province. If it weren't for the special characteristics of Xinghu, a country noble like him who is at the bottom of the noble contempt chain would never be able to enter the eyes of the temple and many big nobles.

.

At present, the magic pulse point space under the Star Lake is about to close, and there is no trace of the Moonlight Witch Cecil who broke out of it. Inferring from normal people's thinking, everyone knows the possibility of the Moonlight Witch staying in the Black Stone Territory.

Sex is almost zero.

Under such circumstances, the temple has lost face because the legendary knight Sima of the Yafeng died in the Black Stone Territory, but what does this have to do with Roy?

He is just a small lord, and no one was seen participating in the Star Lake incident. Oh, that is not entirely correct. The legendary knight Sima of the Yafeng saw him, but how can a dead person speak?

Even if the temple wanted to save its face, it would not do anything to a little lord like him. If it wanted revenge, it would only go to Cecil, the great moonlight witch.

After all, although Roy's title is low, he is still a subordinate noble of the Soros family. There is no reason to attack him, but it will offend the Duke of the Border, which is not worth the loss.

For now, the only people who are directly hostile and threatening to Roy are the forces of the Second Prince's faction.

Roy ruined the second prince's plan to seize the Blackstone Territory, which resulted in the original pure kindness turning into having to cooperate with the eldest son of the Soros family, and the kindness was greatly reduced.

Thinking about the worst, if the Blackstone Leader's plan to seize it was not ruined, the second prince's Star Lake plan might not be ruined either.

Of course, this is just to express anger.

Without Roy's intervention, Cecil's normal personality dissipated, and the Moonlight Witch's crazy personality, which has full control over the body, broke out, and no one could predict what kind of disaster it would bring.

But one thing is certain, that is, from the beginning, the second prince’s plan to obtain the lost ice coffin had no chance of success. Unless he could find the legendary peak knight to suppress Sehir, but how could this be possible? What if?

With the legendary peak combat power under his command, the second prince had to think so hard to win over the Duke of the Border.

What's more, does the legendary pinnacle have to be the opponent of Moonlight Witch Cecil?

not necessarily.

The legendary Yafeng three-star knight Sima, who had been prepared for hundreds of years, coupled with the A-level forbidden object - the Demon-Breaking Dagger, would not be much weaker than the legendary peak knight. But even so, the Yafeng legendary knight Sima still fell.

In Cecil's hands.

To deal with Cecil with such strength, it is not an easy task for the temple to raise enough combat power to ensure a steady victory.

The current Blackstone Territory, after the Star Lake incident, will probably have a relatively stable period of development until at least next spring.

This also means that Roy and several witches no longer have to hide in secret places every day.

It’s quite lively with so many people together, but crowded into such a small space, many things are inconvenient!

Who wants to be crowded when you can have a spacious and comfortable environment?

Roy stood up, glanced at the busy witches, and prepared to go outside to take a look.

Now, his "destruction state" can already destroy the unprepared Golden Star with one punch. As long as he does not encounter a legend, even if he encounters the golden peak, even if he is defeated, he can still persist in a few moves until Ais's support arrives. Therefore,

He no longer needs to be as cautious as he used to be, and the witches must always be by his side.

Go through the space door and come to the courtyard.

Roy raised his head and looked up at the only half-red sun left at the junction of heaven and earth in the distance.

The rustling evening wind was blowing. Roy raised his hand, and there was still wind blowing between his fingers, feeling the slightest coolness mixed with it.

After the Harvest Festival, the climate gradually turns cooler. The highest daytime temperature can only be maintained at a dozen degrees. At the coldest time at night, it even drops below zero. It is estimated that the windy winter will soon come.

advent.

The winter in this world is extremely cruel.

On the blue star of Roy's previous life, whether it would snow in winter mainly depended on the latitude of the region, but this is not the case in this world's winter.

After winter comes, the entire Glow Empire will be covered in heavy snow, not only the Glow Empire, but also the Colai Empire located in the south of the continent.

The coldest reaches -40 to 50 degrees below zero. If there is no source of heating fire, energy-supplying food and warm clothing, it is normal for civilians to freeze to death.

Even in the most prosperous city in the empire, the imperial capital - Saint-Fouille, some people will freeze to death in winter, not to mention the Black Stone Territory, which is located on the border and is far from rich in supplies. In previous winters, about half of the Black Stone Territory had

Adult people will pass away quietly in the heavy snow.

The half-percent freezing death rate sounds scary, but in fact it is pretty good among the many territories in Rafah Province.

Iron Mountain Territory, next door to Blackstone Territory, due to Lord Denham's "tyranny" in previous years, the people in the territory lacked winter supplies, and the freeze death rate reached a shocking 10%!

If it weren't for the fact that the territorial residents of this era had a higher mortality rate if they left the territory rashly without a road guide, I am afraid that some people would have fled the Iron Mountain Territory long ago.

Thinking of the supplies needed by the Blackstone Territory and the Iron Mountain Territory for the winter, Roy felt a little distressed.

There are only about ten days left before winter begins. According to the original plan, Reid needs to go to the northern Blackstone Territory, which is separated by five territories, and the Red Collar to purchase grain. However, due to the major events that have occurred during this period, the purchase plan has been interrupted.

Put off and delay.

Food transportation is no better than rushing on the road, and the speed is very slow. It is estimated that it will take three days to go back and forth. This is under the condition that everything goes smoothly. If there are bandits blocking the road, the speed will be even slower. With Red and a group of official

When a knight escorts a vehicle, ordinary bandits are not a concern, but these cunning bandits will set up roadblocks, dig holes, or lay traps on the road, which will greatly affect the speed of the vehicle.

If Roy had enough space rings on hand, he could let Reid go and return quickly by himself, but the combined population of Black Stone Territory and Iron Mountain Territory is nearly 3,000, which requires a lot of food for one winter, even in a high-level space.

The ring is far too small to fit.

What's more, there are many important things stored in the high-end space ring, and they cannot be touched rashly.

After being promoted to Silver Three-Star, Roy's perception ability has been greatly improved. Although he cannot scan within a certain range like the Golden Knight, he can still sense the general direction of the Dou Qi fluctuations.

Soon, Roy found Red.

At this moment, Reid is sitting in the office room of the Lord's Mansion, handling territorial affairs.

As the steward of the two territories, Reid has to deal with very heavy tasks every day.

All aspects of food and clothing need to be handled by him personally.

As the cold winter approaches and the territories are newly reunited, there are too many things that need to be dealt with.

When Roy came to the office, Red had just finished handling the last task at hand. He let out a breath, his face showing visible fatigue.

To be able to make a bronze three-star extraordinary knight become mentally depressed to such an extent shows how hard Red has worked during this time.

"Tap..."

Roy's undisguised footsteps made Red raise his head. When he saw Roy, the tiredness on Red's face suddenly disappeared, and he quickly stood up, with excitement and joy in his eyes.

"Lord Roy."

"Thank you for your hard work during this time, Uncle Red." Roy walked into the office, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and said apologetically.

"Nowhere, this is what I should do." Reid grinned and picked up a cup of tea for Roy: "I'm about to go find you."

"The grain purchase plan must be put on the agenda immediately."

"During this period, the Scout Knight received news that there is some instability near Chiling. It is approaching the cold winter and banditry is very serious. If we want to buy food, we must allow more time."

"You haven't shown up during this period of time, and I don't dare to leave the Black Stone Territory."

"When the territories are first combined, there must be someone in the mansion who can make decisions."

Roy nodded: "I was just about to tell you about this. I will be in the house next time. You can rest assured to buy food. Bring more knights with you to make sure there are no accidents."

"I understand!" Reid nodded vigorously.

"By the way, Uncle Reid, why is there such a serious banditry problem near Chiling?" Roy asked curiously.

Generally speaking, if there are bandits near the territory, the local lord will send troops to exterminate them, and it is impossible to let them wreak havoc.

"You don't know something." Reid sighed: "As the province at the junction of the empire and the Collet Empire, the Rafah Province has the heaviest military service in the entire empire."

"Take the Iron Mountain Territory as an example. With a total population of just over 1,300, the total number of trainee knights and formal knights is close to 200. This means that every six Territory citizens have to support one who has a large appetite and is completely out of work.

Apprentice knights, formal knights, and extraordinary knights have larger appetites and require more support from the subjects. This is a very abnormal ratio."

"In other provinces, it is usually fifteen to twenty people who support one knight."

"But there is no way. As a border territory, in order to fight against the Colai Empire, each small territory must send enough knights to the 'Stone Wall' to participate in the war every year."

"But this will put great pressure on people's livelihood in various territories in Rafah Province."

"War kills people, but what about the families of those knights who were drafted for military service but failed to come back?"

"Each territory has pensions for knights who died in battle, but this pension is far from enough to cover the expenses of a family that has lost its main support. Over time, many young men who are afraid of war will choose to flee the territories and live in the harsh mountains and rivers.
