Soren goes to work and comes home on time every day. He has a wife, a concubine, and three children, and lives happily in the small town of Bunas.
Under his command, there were more than a hundred city guards. The work of these city guards was similar to that of armed police. While maintaining public order, they also took care of part of the responsibilities of the garrison.
In fact, this is just a matter of name. There are only 36 soldiers in Bunas, and the others are "non-existent" soldiers who are paid empty wages.
Anyway, there is nothing that everyone really needs to do on weekdays. Only a fool would do it to raise so many soldiers.
Yes, Sauron is the Sheriff of Bunas. He manages this small town called Bunas together with the mayor and tax collector.
He had almost no social activities. He returned to his home on time every day and enjoyed the peace and tranquility. In fact, he did not need any social activities. The mayor and the tax collector would hand over his annual profit share to him on time. He really didn't want it.
What do you need to worry about?
If there were no gangsters fighting at the pier, he wouldn't need to worry about the problems of the boatmen and fishermen. Businessmen from afar would pay taxes according to regulations, and no one would easily cause trouble in a place like this.
So his life is calm and full of surprises, as if he has recently received a new profit-in the northern suburbs of the town, a weapons workshop that was about to go bankrupt has miraculously rebounded.
And he will be given 3 gold coins every month.
Although this amount of money is not a lot, it is actually available every month. At least he has received it for the third time, and he has received it with great confidence and naturalness.
The boy named Tang Mo never did anything out of the ordinary, never made trouble or looked for trouble, and almost never even entered the town.
He didn't care what Tang Mo did on the land he paid for. Even if Tang Mo wanted to build a castle with twenty cannons on it, it had nothing to do with him.
What's more, Tang Mo only built a school there and expanded some factories, that's all. He was very comfortable with such a profit-sharing bribe, so he also had a good impression of Tang Mo.
Although he knew that in recent days, the workshop that had changed its inexplicable name to Datang Group was suddenly overcrowded, he had no intention of intervening.
After all, he was given money, and as long as he didn't rebel, or even if he rebelled, as long as he didn't seek his troubles, he wouldn't cause trouble for himself.
After all, Tang Mo came to Bunas in person that day and treated him, the mayor and the tax collector to a delicious meal. After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Tang Mo showed his identity as a guardian knight to
Visited by all.
Now, there is no doubt that Tang Mo is Count Fischereau's confidant. In this case, whoever bothers to trouble Tang Mo is not asking for trouble?
Maybe one day, this guardian knight will transform into a new baron. How can he not take revenge on those who once caused trouble for him?
Therefore, the best way to deal with Tang Mo, a young man who is rising rapidly...
Today, Soren is sitting in his office, enjoying the bright sunshine outside. Because Bunas is a seaside town, as long as he opens the window, he can immediately feel the salty sea breeze blowing on him.
on the face.
This feeling was really comfortable, so comfortable that it made him feel sleepy. So he couldn't help but praise softly: "Ah... what a wonderful afternoon."
"Sir!" A city guard soldier knocked on Sauron's door. After hearing his order, he opened the door and reported: "A person who claims to be the envoy of the Cyric Consortium hopes that he can
See you."
"Oh? Invite him in quickly..." Sauron adjusted his facial muscles to make his smile brighter, stood up and walked to the door, just in time to meet the man who just walked in.
"Sir." Sauron bowed slightly with a smile on his face, without any pretense that he was the sheriff, and greeted the man who walked in: "I am really rude for not being able to greet you."
"My name is Becky!" Becky was not polite. She took off her leather gloves, patted the dust on her breeches casually, and introduced herself simply: "I am Lord Giese's subordinate."
After saying that, he looked at Sheriff Solon, who was standing there respectfully, and asked: "This time, I want to ask you, has anything happened here recently?"
As he asked, he handed a gold-gilded name card from the Cyric Consortium to Sauron. After Soran subconsciously took the name card, he immediately lowered his head.
Even the powerful nobles would not dare to offend the people of the Cyric Consortium easily, let alone the head of the Cyric Consortium in the Kingdom of Wright, Huey Giese.
"Sir, what are you talking about?" Sauron handed the name card back to Becky and asked nervously.
"I heard that someone here has seen a new kind of musket?" Becky asked while looking at this office that seemed to be well decorated.
There is a solid wooden floor, and leather shoes can make a nice clanking sound when stepped on it. Decorative paintings are hung on the surrounding walls, and there is a practical bookshelf on one side of the wall.
There were some nails driven into the wall of the doorway, on which hung a leather belt with a holster and a long sword in its scabbard.
"Muskets? Sir, we only have one small arms workshop here that is about to go bankrupt. The muskets of our city guards are all Cyric flintlocks issued by the kingdom...I have never heard of any new muskets." Sauron
As he spoke, he thought of Tang Mo's weapons workshop, which had been weird recently.
"Workshop? Oh, I remembered, that Tang Qi who died a few months ago, his small workshop?" Becky vaguely recalled the not-so-famous small arms workshop in Bunas.
"Yes, sir, that's the one." Sauron nodded quickly and said, "Where did you hear about any new weapons appearing here?"
"Do you think this matter is related to Tang Qi's weapons workshop?" Becky continued to ask without answering Sauron's question.
"How is it possible? Sir, you know that it is just a small workshop, and the person who inherited the workshop is a teenager. How could he have such ability?" Sauron replied matter-of-factly.
"Tell me everything about the weapons workshop." Becky walked to Sauron's office and sat down on Sauron's chair, indicating that Sauron could find a place to sit wherever he wanted.
Solan frowned slightly, and the smile on his face instantly concealed his dissatisfaction. He did not sit down, but immediately said: "That shop couldn't survive before. After Tang Qi died, his son Tang
Mo dismissed half of the workers, causing panic in our small town of Bunas."
"Tang Mo..." Becky muttered the name, as if she wanted to remember it in her heart.
"Later, he went around begging for help, wanting to see Baron Stella...I heard he was going to curry favor with the Baron." Sauron looked like he was reminiscing, with a look of knowing everything he said: "
Later, the road to Baron Stella seemed to have failed, so I heard that he went to Beiling."
"Beiling?" When Becky heard this sensitive word, she immediately became interested and looked at Sauron and asked in a long voice.
"Yes, Beiling! He didn't know how he deceived the Earl into buying some wasteland north of Bunas. The side next to the Vicious Forest is all wasteland. I guess if the Earl knew about it, he would definitely
Kill him."
"Weapons workshop...Vicious Forest...North Ridge...Earl...Wasteland..." Becky muttered key words one by one, the sinister smile on her face becoming more and more obvious.
There are so many familiar words that have nothing to do with each other, but they all appear in Sauron's words. Is this a coincidence? No! This is definitely not a coincidence!
The thing is obvious. It is estimated that this Tang Mo must have come up with some new weapons. First he went to visit Baron Stella, but was kicked out. This is easy to understand. Baron Stella can definitely do it.
Then that damn Tang Mo took his new weapons and went to try his luck with Count Ronin Fisherow in Beiling.
As a result, Fischereau, who was under great pressure recently, decided to invest in this new weapon, so Tang Mo escaped from bankruptcy and became a lackey under the earl.
As for the unlucky group of bandits, they must have accidentally bumped into a carriage transporting new weapons. After seeing the power of the new weapons, they went to find Lord Giese in the hope of a rich future.
With this connection, Becky felt that he had almost guessed the whole process of the matter. In fact, his guess was very correct, as accurate as if he had seen the whole development of the matter with his own eyes.
"By the way, he is still expanding his factory and recruiting many workers." Solan really knew everything, because he knew that hiding it was useless. His relationship with Tang Mo was not enough to cover up for Tang Mo.
These things are all information that can be obtained by just asking on the street or looking at the field. If he conceals it for Tang Mo, it will easily implicate himself.
"Very good! It's a pleasure to meet you, Sheriff Sauron! You are a good officer, and I will put in a good word for you in front of Lord Giese." After getting the information she wanted, Becky stood up.
, walked up to Sauron and patted him on the shoulder.
Then, he walked out of Solon's office, took his closest men, and left towards the north of Bunas Town.
After watching them leave, Sauron returned to his office, wrote a note, summoned one of his men, and said, "Change into civilian clothes and send this to Tang Mo."
Watching his men leave quickly, his face turned gloomy: "Do you really treat me like a dog? If I don't cause some trouble for you Cyric bastards, why should I be an official?"
