After hearing Sean's words, Vivian shrank back and looked at Sean like she was looking at Robert.
what is this?
Just escaped from the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den again?
Seeing that Vivian actually believed what he said, Sean smiled and said:
"Don't take it seriously, I'm just joking! I'm not interested in little girls like you. If you were a few years older, maybe...
Ahem, Vivian, let me tell you the truth, I just need your knowledge."
"Knowledge?" Vivian breathed a sigh of relief and became less defensive about Sean.
"That's right, it's knowledge!" Sean nodded:
"You share all the magic knowledge you have learned with me. In the future, if the children in the town have the talent to practice magic, you can also help take care of them. As for the reward we give you, it is sufficient training resources. What do you think?
?”
Although Khadgar is also a very powerful mage, he is not yet familiar with the magic system of this world, so Sean can only rely on Vivian to learn magic.
Vivian thought for a while and nodded seriously:
"Your Highness Sean, I will definitely try my best!"
Sean rubbed Vivian's head happily: "The little girl is really nice! By the way, are you willing to be my goddaughter?"
Vivian: "..."
...
After giving the jewelry and potions to Vivian, Sean took Vivian to the lobby on the first floor to eat.
It was dinner time now, and Andu couldn't let it go to waste because the dwarves had prepared a lot of delicious food, so Sean invited almost all his subordinates to have dinner together.
While enjoying dinner, Anduin also returned to the castle.
So after having a pleasant dinner, Sean sent Vivian and other subordinates out of the castle.
Then, Sean brought Windsor, Anduin, Khadgar and Thor to the study to prepare for a meeting to discuss the future development of Riverbank Town.
...
In the study room, Sean and the five of them sat down in order of priority.
As soon as Anduin sat down, Windsor said to Anduin like he was showing off:
"Anduin, I have reached Silver level now!"
At the same time, Windsor snapped his fingers, and a white-silver fighting spirit burst out from his fingertips, demonstrating his silver-level strength.
Anduin looked at Windsor's Silver-level fighting spirit with some envy. He had not yet reached the intermediate level of Bronze. Unexpectedly, Windsor had already reached the Silver level.
So Anduin said to Sean:
"Sir, can you also upgrade me to the Silver level? Now we are too weak. We feel that there is nothing we can do with our strength, and many powerful spells cannot be released!"
The God of Thunder sitting next to him also echoed:
"Yes, sir! Now not only can I not use my signature skill - 'Lightning Whip', but I can only use three spells. When can we learn more spells?"
Sean looked at his experience bar.
Now Sean's experience value is level 22 2/1600. Now he can get at least 420 experience points by practicing every day, which means there are still three days before the [Spell] module is turned on.
So Sean said to Thor:
"Don't worry, you will be able to learn new spells in about three days. Thor's [Lightning Bolt], Windsor's [Shield Slam], Khadgar's [Arcane Blast], Anduin
Stealing cards...Okay, let’s not talk about it anymore.”
Sean turned to look at Anduin: "Anduin, tell me about River Town! What happened in the days when I was gone?"
"Okay, my lord!"
Anduin began to look serious and talked about the recent development of Hetan Town and the various problems encountered.
...
Twenty minutes have passed.
Anduin talked for a full twenty minutes before he finished explaining all the problems in Riverbank Town. The four of them, Sean, were a little confused after hearing this.
To sum it up in one sentence - now the lives of the residents of Hetan Town are back on track.
Although Hetan Town was attacked by gnolls commanded by the Necromancer, nearly half of its population was lost.
But these days, after all, there are wars, famines, plagues, the existence of nobles and churches, so what year doesn't a group of people die? So the townspeople take death very lightly.
Coupled with Sean's substantial tax-free policy, the haze caused by the jackal attack was quickly swept away, and the townspeople began to look forward to a better life in the future.
As for the slaves in the manor, because Sean would allow one tenth of them to become freedmen every year, the slaves worked extra hard.
But in order to fight for "freedom", the slaves tried every means, so many problems arose in the process.
So Anduin said in the report:
"Sir, do you still remember the original slave overseer?"
"Oh, you're talking about 'Pig', I still remember him." Sean nodded.
Because his name means "pig", which is too raw, Sean has a deep impression on him.
"Pig has now been expelled from my territory." Anduin smiled.
"Oh, why?" Sean became interested.
"It's very simple." Anduin explained:
"Pige was very unfair in the process of grading the slaves, and he also took bribes from many slaves, so I whipped him and the few slaves who participated in the bribery, and drove him out of the territory to fend for themselves.
I also dealt with some slaves who caused fights and even participated in murders."
Sean nodded:
"You handled it very well! It's the same when dealing with slaves and subjects. We need to use both kindness and power. We provide them with good policies, and they shouldn't make trouble again... But isn't it right? The slaves have no money, how can they do it?
Bribing 'Pig'?
Sean discovered the flaw in Anduin's words.
"Ahem!"
Anduin coughed twice unnaturally, and said with some embarrassment: "Most of them are bribes from female slaves, and there are also a small number of men... Sir, you are still young, so you better not talk about this.
For the best."
Sean: "..."
Although Anduin didn't say it clearly, Sean already knew what it was.
So Sean stopped talking about this and started to change the topic:
"I made a lot of money in Yoen City this time, so I can provide some benefits to the slaves. Anduin, add a meal of meat to the slaves' meals tomorrow!"
"Yes, my lord!" Anduin replied.
Sean thought for a while and continued:
"Another point is that the original time limit I set for slaves to become freemen after one year has now been changed to half a year.
And after becoming freedmen, I will give slaves who have become freedmen a piece of land suitable for farming and a reward of 4 gold coins, so that they can start a new life!"
After hearing Sean's words, Anduin suddenly became a little uneasy:
"But sir, wouldn't 4 gold coins be a bit too much? After all, we have to spend money to buy slaves, and the manor will hardly make any profit by doing so!"
"It's okay." Sean replied calmly:
“First, I am not short of money now;
Chapter completed!
