Eight hundred and fiftieth eight chapters of the female mage's astonishment
"The standards of this Downton correctional officer are pretty good!"
The streets were busy with traffic and the scene was prosperous. It didn't look like the Duke had died and the city had fallen. This made the female mage sigh with emotion.
As a scepter-level female mage, she has also traveled to many places and seen many wars. In a city captured by the enemy, the looting and rape of civilians is already the least serious situation. Even if nothing happens,
I will definitely avoid the soldiers to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Civilians in occupied areas always have a natural sense of crisis. How could they dare to bargain with hilly natives like they are now?
"Downton is a clergyman and will not allow his subordinates to cause atrocities."
Andrea rolled her eyes. She was very satisfied with the current situation of the city. If Downton turned into a murderous thug, she would definitely leave.
The current stable state of the city is inseparable from Abagon's vigorous propaganda. He put all the blame on the Duke of the Southern Territory. After all, it was Mike who took the lead in launching the war to invade the Western Territory. As a result, he was beaten back. What could he complain about?
In terms of justice, the people in the southern border could not stand at all. In addition, Downton promulgated a three-year tax reduction decree, which immediately stabilized the hearts of the people in the territory.
Of course, Downton burned 100,000 soldiers, and their families naturally hated him. It would take a long time, or even several generations, to eliminate the hatred, but with his current status, he didn't need to care about those looks, and even said
, those civilians may not be able to see him for several lifetimes, let alone take revenge.
This is the superior, this is power and status. Even if it sounds high-sounding, Downton is no longer in the same world as ordinary civilians.
Conspiracies and assassinations have a natural attraction for drow. Downton thought that they continued to fight long distances and needed a rest, so he gave the barbarians the task of wiping out the nobles in the rich area. Unexpectedly, Beyoncé and Trace
They came to the door together and took the initiative to take on the task.
Downton didn't care, but a few days later he discovered that these drow were really talented at raiding homes and exterminating families. Even survivors hiding hundreds of miles away were dug out of the trenches, leaving almost no one alive.
Some nobles who were determined to die could not withstand the torture and revealed the location of the hidden money, so the drow gathered a large amount of wealth for Downton.
When Downton saw ten billion gold coins before, he had no idea what it was, but now, this number always appears frequently in the list presented by Abagon.
The nobles in the wealthy areas are all the powerful class in the southern region. After several generations, they have naturally accumulated huge wealth. But now, Downton has benefited from them all.
Why did Downton dare to reduce taxes when expanding his army? It was because these seizures were enough for him to maintain an army of 100,000 for several years.
As the Chancellor of the Exchequer and his family were hanged, his luxurious residence became Downton's temporary residence. There was a post every three steps and a sentry every five steps. They were all barbarians wearing helmets and carrying armor. They were motionless and could stand for a whole day.
As direct descendants, the barbarians thought it was an honor to stand guard for Downton, so they drove away the ogres and stood guard personally.
So when the female mage followed Andrea out of the carriage, she saw elite barbarians standing like steel statues in every corner of the mansion.
"Is that Downton afraid of death? I don't think even if a giant dragon comes flying, he won't be able to take down this mansion easily."
Although the female mage's tone was exaggerated, it also revealed confusion. Downton himself was a scepter-level killer, and there were not many killers in Drankfurt who could pose a threat to him.
"Name, age, reason for visit!"
The captain walked up and asked the female mage about her identity.
"We are friends at Downton!"
The female mage explained casually.
"Be bold!"
Hearing the female mage call Downton's name, a kind of barbarian suddenly changed his expression, immediately drew his sword and surrounded him.
"Please don't call our master by his first name."
The captain raised his hand to stop his subordinates, "In the past few days, there have been so many nobles visiting our master under the pretext of being 'friends'. How can you prove that they really know each other?"
"What's the evidence?"
After all, the female mage is at the scepter level. Wherever she goes, she is not treated politely? Now being questioned by a few lowly barbarians, her face darkened. With a wave of her right hand, an elemental scepter condensed and was caught in her hand.
"Ready to fight!"
The captain roared. If the hostility hadn't been determined yet, he would have attacked immediately. The other barbarians showed no fear and surrounded them all. The last one stuffed the siren hanging around his neck.
He put it in his mouth and blew it loudly to summon reinforcements.
"Hey, should I say that these soldiers in Downton are brainless, or are they brave and unafraid of death?"
The female mage turned around and asked Andrea.
"If you call the master by his first name again, don't blame me for being rude."
The captain was already furious. To disrespect his master was to insult them.
"Tsk, tsk, you're so brave and you have a big temper!" The female mage pointed the elemental scepter at the captain, "You're welcome to show me one of them?"
The captain gave his subordinates a wink and was about to prepare for a sneak attack when a white soothing halo spread out and enveloped them.
"Okay, stop teasing them. Downton is very defensive. If there is a quarrel, it will be difficult to see each other in the future." Andrea advised and looked at the captain, "I am Andrea, the officiant.
, mentor to the Duke of Downton’s sister.”
"please wait!"
When the captain heard this, he did not dare to neglect and immediately arranged for someone to report the news.
"Master officiant, are you here?"
Soon, Jackson, dressed in hunting attire, rushed out and greeted Andrea enthusiastically.
"snort!"
The female mage snorted and walked into the door.
The barbarian guards ignored him and retreated to both sides of the gate. They made a fist with their right hand, knocked on their left chest, and performed a chest-flattening salute.
"Hey, the equipment of these soldiers is so sophisticated, and judging from the style, it looks like the standard equipment of Saint Jutland? He couldn't have joined a wealthy family in that empire, right?"
The female mage poked Andrea's waist and asked in a low voice. She came from a small family. Because of her outstanding talent since childhood, she was adopted by the Geese family, so she considered the problem. The family was the most important thing. If Downton really
If you get the support of other wealthy families, the consequences will be a bit troublesome.
"Don't think too much, he dug this out of a ruins."
Andrea burst into laughter. A man as proud as Downton didn't ask for help when he was surrounded by enemies. Would he humbly rely on other wealthy families? It was simply a joke.
"Look, there are green goblins, there are so many of them!"
When heading to the study, the female mage saw many goblins in an office and couldn't help but be surprised!
These goblins were wearing uniform white shirts and black suits. Everyone was working at their desks, looking completely busy.
"They're not acting, are they?"
Watching a few goblins leaning next to the drinking kettle, drinking coffee and discussing economic issues in the south. The female mage was completely dumbfounded, because even she, a great magician, did not listen to the proper nouns that kept popping out of their mouths.
Pass.
"Probably not?"
Andrea wasn't sure either, "But Downton has a goblin butler, he's awesome!"
"I'm lazy again. Go to work. I can't calculate the value of all the properties under McHale's name today. Don't even want this month's bonus."
As a goblin yelled, the lazy goblins quickly drank the coffee, threw the paper cups into the trash can, and quickly returned to their desks.
"It looks similar, but wouldn't it be too funny to just let goblins handle government affairs?" The female mage looked at Andrea, "I think Downton won the title of Native Duke and Barbarian Duke.
, there will be another Goblin Duke soon."
"What did you say?"
The goblin with sharp ears heard this and immediately screamed.
"Who are you?"
"guard!"
"If she insults the master again, kill her!"
The goblins gathered in anger, and some even took out daggers and gestured, but these guys were used to being timid after all. None of them dared to really charge forward.
The female mage took out the elemental scepter, and the whole office fell silent for a moment.
"Can you just say less?"
Andrea gave the female mage a tug.
"Fortunately, if these goblins rush forward to fight without fear of death, I will wonder if Downton gave these guys some medicine?"
The female mage felt as if she had arrived in a new world. She was curious about everything. Facing the passing death knights, she insisted on taking off their helmets to see if they were handsome men. She even planned to catch a few and bring them back to the magic tower for physical dissection.
The female mage is also extremely curious about the drow and can't wait to imprison a few of them to study why a dark elf who grew up in a country full of extreme racism would obey the orders of a human?
"Look, the abomination of low intelligence was born. The craftsmanship of the undead is really ingenious. I heard that the evil mages in the deathrattle plane are recently studying the resurrection of abomination, hoping that they will produce offspring through natural reproduction instead of war engineering.
Square!”
The female mage is drooling. Everything here has the value of research. If it weren't for Andrea's face, she would really snatch it away.
She is also a strong person at the scepter level, so she really has nothing to worry about.
Boom!
Jackson knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
Although the door is soundproof, there is no distortion, and the refreshing feeling is completely revealed, which makes the female mage very satisfied. At least listening to the sound is a kind of enjoyment.
The study door opened, and Jackson made a gesture of invitation.
When the female mage entered, she saw a young and shameless young man leaning on a large mahogany desk, reading quickly. Behind him was a row of bookshelves filled with books. There was a cup of black tea within easy reach.
It was steaming hot.
The warm afternoon sun shone through the window lattice, casting a golden glow on his body.
“What a little fresh meat!”
Downton's profile alone made the female mage's eyes light up. Just as he was about to speak, Andrea stopped him and signaled not to disturb him. (To be continued...)
ps: The third update is here, everyone, happy new year!
