At noon, Emil went to arrange work for the people himself, and Ophelia chose to stay in the mansion.

Although Emil lacks experience as the city lord, Ophelia doesn't know much about this, so she is powerless even if she wants to help.

It’s better to let Emil do it yourself, after all, experience is always explored by oneself.

With nothing to do, Ophelia wandered in the corridor on the second floor of the mansion. When she passed a window, she saw a dove flying over from the corner of her eyes.

This mansion also has pigeons, all of which are white pigeons, but the one flying here is gray, obviously from other places.

Out of curiosity, she carefully looked at the gray dove resting on the window ridge and found something on its feet, which looked like a small piece of paper rolled into a cylindrical shape.

Ophelia stretched out her hand, but the dove did not escape, so she took out the note and spread it out to see it.

It is written in elegant handwriting: "If you have something to do, please read it quickly."

She knew this handwriting, and there was no doubt that the note was written for her.

She didn't know how the pigeons came here, and it should be easy to be killed by humans or other creatures on such a long journey.

However, with that guy's personality, maybe he released thousands of pigeons and told her to go back.

Ophelia couldn't help but smile helplessly. Since that was the case, she couldn't refuse, so she had to go back early.

She just felt a pity that if she had time, she really wanted to fight the devil himself, and maybe she could help that guy realize his dream.

But now Emil has not yet been recognized by the Holy Sword, and it is difficult for her to escape the obstacles of the Dark Knights alone. Maybe she can't even see the Demon King, so she can only make a long-term plan.

So she put away the notes and planned to say goodbye to Emil.

...

In the central square of Blackpool Town, Emil gathered all the people together.

They were a little disappointed to see Emil not bringing Lena over this time because they could not learn more dishes.

The reason they were willing to learn cooking techniques yesterday was indeed because of a whim, and they were more unable to stand the food that was about to deteriorate.

Although Torena's blessings were not tolerate the unpleasant meals, they were still dissatisfied after a few meals. Because their level was limited, the dishes they made were too different from those they had before, so they urgently hoped that

Get more guidance from Reina.

"Dear City Lord, where is your maid? Why didn't you bring it here to teach us how to cook?" a middle-aged man raised his hand and asked loudly.

"Well..."

Emil didn't expect that he would ask this, and he couldn't answer it for a moment. He wanted to say that Lena was cleaning the entire mansion as Pagris asked and had no time to come, but he was afraid that the people would be unhappy.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" A young woman pulled him away, "Didn't you feel troubled when you see the Lord of the City? The maid's duty is to serve the Lord of the City, and it is not specially taught us to cook."

"But we have to eat, how can those things work? If you want me to keep eating that, you might as well let me die." The middle-aged man shouted.

"Yes, yes, I'm tired of eating those dishes."

Next, some people spoke for the middle-aged man one after another, but some people refuted that some food was good in the current situation.

Seeing that they were quarreling, Emil was at a loss and had to smile awkwardly.

After a while, an old man noticed his predicament and immediately stood up and said.

"Everyone, please be quiet. No matter what, let's listen to the arrangements of the city lord first. I believe he will not let us ignore it."

Perhaps the old man had a high prestige among the people, and the others finally calmed down, and they all turned their eyes to Emil.

"Ahem," Emil was very grateful to the old man, so he cleared his throat and said, "Well, I'm really sorry, Rena is cleaning the mansion, where she is the only maid, and she is too busy at all, so I hope everyone can

Understand it, but I promise you that Rena will teach you more dishes.”

The people in front of him nodded one after another. In fact, they were not trying to make a fuss on purpose, they just wanted a promise. Regardless of whether they could fulfill it or not, it would be a placebo for them now.

So, after appeased the people, Emil decided to tell them about their work.

"Thank you for your understanding, but I asked you to come here, and there is a more important thing to tell you."

When the people heard this, they started to talk, but it didn't take long to calm down and decided to listen carefully to the next words of the city lord.

Seeing that they were quiet, Emil continued.

"That's right, there are only us in Heitan Town. We must work together to overcome the difficulties and then rebuild the town. Although there are still a lot of supplies left, if no one produces them, one day it will be

It's used up, so I want you to make use of the farms, ranches or various workshops in the town."

After hearing this, the people couldn't help but look at each other. They started to discuss again. Emil wanted to continue talking, but he felt that he couldn't get in.

Finally, the middle-aged man just stood up and said.

"Master Lord, if I understand correctly, you mean to let us go to work, right?"

The people around him stopped talking, and they also wanted to know if Emil meant that.

Emil heard a hint of questioning tone. He didn't expect the worst to happen. Of course he meant this, but judging from the expressions of the people, they should be very resistant to work.

After all, they were either businessmen or farmers before, and they always used others to be hand-off managers and went around casually. How could they be willing to be ordered now?

But Emil cannot let them go. For the sake of the overall situation, he must be cruel when he should be cruel.

"Of course, I have said just now that the work is to produce more materials to ensure our future survival."

After confirmation, there was an uproar below, and most of the people said they could not accept it. There were only a few who remained silent, including the woman who spoke for him before and the old man.

Faced with such a situation, Emil did not retreat at all. His face suddenly became serious and he said coldly.

"It seems that most of you have complaints about my proposal. I can make it clear. If you work for the nobles, you will definitely be exploited to death in the end, but I will be different. You have obtained it through hard work.

Things belong to you, and I have no right to take them away. This is already the biggest concession of a city lord. If someone disagrees with this regard, then I can only drive it out of Heitan Town.

”

Those people were speechless when they heard this. They were indeed underestimating Emil at the beginning, thinking that he was just a teenager, and even if he became the city lord, he would only meet their requirements.

But now it seems that Emil really has the courage that a city lord should have, so more and more people choose to follow his proposal, and even the middle-aged man who sang loudly inconsistently gave in.

In fact, this is not only the result of Emile's courage, but what he said makes sense.

If they become servants of the nobles, they will never have the chance to turn over. Not only do they do the dirtiest and tiring work every day, they will not get much money.

They believed that Emil was more reliable than those nobles, as can be seen from his special request for the maids to teach them how to cook.

Emil was relieved to see them make the right choice, but he still noticed that some people still showed disdainful expressions.

Emil wouldn't spoil them, so he said again.

"You all have made a decision, so please stand up if you don't want to accept my proposal. Don't worry, I don't have time to take revenge on you, just want you to make a new plan, because Heitan Town does not welcome people like you.

.”

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, ten people stood up. They were all wearing gorgeous clothes. But after these two days of running around, the clothes became dirty and their hair was messy, but their eyes were still bright and bright.

, it seems to be extremely firm in refusing to work.

At this time, the old man just now quickly stood up and said.

"Oh, Lord City, don't be as good as them. They are just stubborn. After a while, they will understand your efforts. Please don't drive them away."

When Emil suddenly felt soft-hearted when he heard the old man who was quite prestigious among the people saying this, hesitated whether he would really drive them away.

But among the ten people, a middle-aged woman walked up to her and said.

"Stop talking, we can't change our minds. What kind of city lord is this? He actually wants someone as noble as me to do the job of a servant. What is the difference between such a city lord and those nobles?"

"Hmph, we were disdainful to work hard for those nobles at the beginning, so we would rather die than surrender and choose to stay." Another person also said.

"Haha, I'm really out of my mind. Yesterday I saw him send someone to teach us cooking, and I thought he was a useful city lord. Oh, I really didn't expect..."

Ten people said one by one, and Emil became more impatient the more he listened, so he made a bold decision.

"Lilith, come out."

He released the magic in the ring and summoned the dragon. In an instant, a dazzling red light appeared and a giant appeared in the square.

The people were trembling with fear when they saw the dragon for the first time. Of course, including those who were unwilling to work, they finally stopped being sensible.

"Hurry, run!"

Someone suddenly shouted, and then the ten people fled out of the city, for fear that Emil would let the dragon burn them to ashes in anger.

On the other hand, although they were scared, they did not escape because they knew very well that Emil would not hurt them.

"Very good, you passed my test." Emil praised the rest, and then he took out a booklet.

On it is the list of nobles in the entire Blackpool Town, but now the nobles have left, leaving only those uninhabited manors, large and small areas of farms and pastures.

Therefore, Emil decided to re-enact some nobles and let them manage their own land.

"You should know that there are no nobles in Blackpool Town. In order to make you work more motivated, I decided to share the land left by the nobles to you. Unfortunately, the land is limited and cannot be guaranteed to be owned by each of you, so I

I plan to take three days to select. All you have to do is to try your best to produce materials. Finally, who will produce more in the specified time. At that time, I will select ten nobles. As for the rest, I

I can share my own land with you, let you manage it yourself, produce materials, and create wealth. After all, my city lord's mansion has always been short of manpower, and it is useless to keep the land. So, what do you think?"

Speaking of this, Lilith, who was beside her, unconsciously flapped her wings, and a strong wind blew up, blowing the people around.

They were frightened by the movement and did not dare to reject Emil's proposal. If he was unhappy, he might be burned to ashes by Dragon Breath, so they nodded in agreement.

Emil smiled with satisfaction, and then he dismissed the people and told them to come here to gather in three days.
