Chapter 425, Establishing a Lord
Fang Hao looked up in confusion.
I saw a familiar figure in a black cloak standing in front of the gate.
[Half-Demon Alchemist].
It turned out to be him.
At that time, I met a half-demon alchemist who was selling homemade potions near the mission hall. After that, he would deliver homemade potions to hot pot restaurants every once in a while.
There are not many opportunities for the two to come into contact, but they can still be regarded as partners.
Recently, Fang Hao has been able to produce glass bottles and is also providing them to him.
Change the potion container from a clay bottle to a glass bottle.
"It turns out it's you." Fang Hao also showed a smile.
Fang Hao didn't know his name, but the half-demon learned Fang Hao's name through some channels.
After all, Fang Hao owns a certain amount of industry in the city, so it is not difficult to get some information.
"Yeah, how come Mr. Fang Hao is here." The half-demon continued to ask.
"I was just passing by. I met a few mercenaries running away on the way. I heard they were attacked by monsters, so I walked here." Fang Hao said softly.
The half-demon rolled his eyes and immediately thought of something.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Fang Hao continued: "You don't want us to come in and sit down?"
"Of course, gentlemen, please..." The half-demon was quite enthusiastic and moved his position, indicating that a few people could enter the manor.
There are some flowers and plants in the manor.
On the wooden piles on the side, there were also a few horses tied to them and a few packages thrown on the ground.
It seems that these are the items belonging to the escaping mercenaries.
Fang Hao, An Jia, and Dimitja followed the half-demon into the hall.
The rest of the people were waiting outside.
The layout in the hall is very simple.
Very ordinary wooden tables and chairs, and a few ordinary paintings hanging on the walls.
Fang Hao and the other three sat down in front of the table and chairs.
The half-demon presented some fruit.
"You live in such a big manor?" Fang Hao found the topic and asked.
"I live here with my mother and should be back soon." The half-demon said.
"Are you working in Lysis City?"
"kindness."
"Then this place is quite far away from Lysis City."
Fang Hao and the half-demon chatted casually.
The two of them had several opportunities to come into contact.
The half-demon feels more relaxed than a human.
But he is very wary of humans and behaves very carefully in everything.
The half-demon took Fang Hao and the others to visit his manor, as well as the room where he usually reads books and makes alchemy potions.
After the visit, when you return to the lobby.
In the front yard, there was a quarrel.
When Fang Hao and others walked out, they saw an old woman pointing the wooden stick in her hand at Milly and her men who were resting aside.
"Mother, these are Mr. Fang Hao's men." The half-demon hurriedly stepped forward to explain after seeing the woman.
The woman turned around and saw that her son was fine. She breathed a sigh of relief and saw Fang Hao on her side.
Similarly, Fang Hao also saw the woman.
[Miriam (Level 10 Priest)].
Fang Hao also knows the person coming.
It was Miriam, the chief priest of the temple in Lysis.
A stereotypical and unreasonable old lady.
The priests in the temple were very afraid of her.
"Miriam is the officiant." Fang Hao greeted with a smile.
The chief priest of the temple is the half-demon mother.
This was really beyond Fang Hao's expectation.
Speaking of which, I still owe the temple 150 sets of robes for the deacons.
This time I brought them all over, and they were all stored in the Bone Clothing Store before they could be sent to the temple.
"Why are you here?" There was no good expression on Miriam's wrinkled face.
"Uh, passing by." Fang Hao answered.
Naturally, Miriam would not believe such an explanation.
The manor where they live is very remote.
There are no trade roads here, nor do they lead to any city.
Obviously not passing by here.
Miriam glanced at Fang Hao and the others several times before walking into the room with the help of the half-demon.
Sit down on a chair nearby.
Miriam said: "Bakar, I brought back some milk tea. You go and make it for the guests to drink."
Bakker seems to be the name of a half-demon.
"Oh, okay mother." The half-demon glanced at Fang Hao, picked up the handed bag and walked towards the room on one side.
Wait for the half-demon to leave and go out.
Miriam asked again: "Mr. Fang Hao, what is your purpose here?"
"I received a reward and said there was a manor where demons lived, so I brought my troops to have a look." Fang Hao answered truthfully.
As soon as the word devil came out, Miriam's eyes obviously changed.
There was a hint of sternness from the solemnity.
"So have you found it?"
"I found some clues. I happened to see a few mercenaries escaping on the way and were attacked by demons. After returning, more people should come here to search for clues about the demons." Fang Hao continued.
Soon, the devil's story will spread in the city.
At that time, more mercenary groups will come here to explore, and it will only take time to find this place.
Miriam's face also became more solemn, and she naturally heard what Fang Hao was reminding her.
"Do you know Bakar?" Miriam continued to ask.
She did not allow Bakar to have contact with humans, but apparently her son did not listen to her.
"We have collaborated several times."
"Cooperation?" Miriam became even more curious.
"Bakar's alchemy talent is very high, and the potions he makes are very effective. I have been buying and using them." Fang Hao answered truthfully.
In fact, there is nothing to hide about this matter, and speaking out can prove that Fang Hao has no ill intentions towards their mother and son.
Sure enough, after hearing Fang Hao's answer, Miriam's expression relaxed a lot.
Miriam must know about Bakar's alchemy on weekdays, but she doesn't know about his trip to Lysis City.
Just when Miriam was about to ask more questions, the half-demon Bakar came back with several cups of milk tea.
He politely placed the milk tea in front of Fang Hao and the others.
For a half-demon who rarely goes out, a few guests came to the house today, which was a rare busy day.
Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Fang Hao directly changed the topic, "Priest Miriam, I plan to train some assistant priests who are proficient in herbal medicine and midwifery for the territory. I wonder if I can send them to the temple to learn."
All of Fang Hao's affiliated territories have built temples, and statues of kings have been set up in the temples.
Therefore, Fang Hao thought of cultivating some assistant priests and using the temple as a hospital.
Although herbal medicine is not as effective as alchemical potions, its price and difficulty in making it make it more suitable for civilian use.
At that time, the assistant priests in the temple will treat the residents' injuries and deliver babies in the name of the king, and they will also be able to better accumulate faith for Fang Hao.
Fang Hao had already thought of this when setting up the temple.
When I had the opportunity, I simply mentioned it to Miriam.
Miriam was a little surprised by Fang Hao's proposal. She thought Fang Hao was just a young businessman with some property in his family.
But he didn't expect that he still had his own territory and temple.
But if you think about it carefully, you can also figure out that it is not unusual for a person like Fang Hao, who has both financial and human resources, to have a territory of his own.
"Okay, you can arrange for them to come to the temple then." Miriam also agreed.
The temple provides food and accommodation for deacons from various places, but does not provide wages.
Therefore, there will be no limit on the number of deacons who can come.
"Okay, I will arrange for someone to come over then." Fang Hao nodded and said.
After a few more chats, Fang Hao stood up and said, "It's getting late, so we won't bother you. There will probably be mercenaries coming later. It's best to stay somewhere else for a while."
Miriam and the half-demon both understood the meaning of Fang Hao's words.
He also nodded slightly, but did not respond directly.
Fang Hao and the other two people left the hall and started to return to Lysis City along the same route with a group of people.
…
A group of people came back empty-handed.
It can be said that there is nothing gained today.
"The devil those mercenaries are talking about is Bakar, right?" Anjia said.
Fang Hao never mentioned the half-demon thing to her.
But in the conversation, I also heard some of it.
"Yes, Bakar is a half-demon, so he always wears the black cloak wherever he goes. I also observed in the manor, and there is no trace of the demon. Bakar is the demon the mercenaries call him." Fang Hao explained. said.
Only then did An Jia realize why Fang Hao wanted to visit the manor.
It turned out to be confirming whether there were any other demons.
"As I said, I thought he was also a vampire and couldn't see people during the day." An Jia patted her thigh and said.
Returning was not as easy as arriving.
Everyone sped up their feet and hurried towards the direction of Lysis City.
As autumn approaches, it gets dark earlier and earlier.
They needed to return to Lysis before closing the city gates, otherwise they would have to spend the night outside the city.
…
Before dusk, Fang Hao and others returned to Lysis City.
Return to the mansion, after dinner.
Fang Hao was lying on the bed, eating the fruit brought by the maid.
Ding!
At this moment, the private chat notification sound came from the Book of Lords.
Fang Hao opened the private chat channel and found that the message was from Dong Jiayue.
So far, the army led by Black Sword is still digging and recovering the [Desolate Battlefield].
In addition to excavating the collapsed temple, the entire dark red land is buried with weapons and equipment left behind by the death of the former army.
Dong Jiayue is responsible for rear assistance, commanding human soldiers and making a large number of tools such as carts and hemp ropes.
Open the private chat.
"Brother Hao, tens of thousands of severely damaged equipment have been collected in the deserted battlefield. Where should these be sent?"
It turned out to be asking where the equipment needed to be sent.
"Send it to Zhenbei City in the Bloody Mountains. Then I will have the people from Zhenbei City transport it to the dwarves." Fang Hao thought for a while and replied.
"Oh, okay, by the way, Brother Hao, some lords along the way have contacted me and said that they also hope to join the territory. Brother Hao, don't worry, I have told them, and the situation here is not allowed to be told." Dong Jiayue continued. said.
From Dong Jiayue's city to the deserted battlefield.
Along the way, you can meet several cities for travelers.
In addition, in the past two days, undead have continued to transport equipment outwards, so these lords naturally arranged manpower to investigate the situation.
When he knew that there was Dong Jiayue in the undead army, it was easy to think of Fang Hao.
Therefore, for various reasons, these people contacted Dong Jiayue one after another, hoping to join Fang Hao's territory.
"You will be responsible for them. Remember to tell them not to talk nonsense in the channel and to focus on developing agriculture." Fang Hao thought for a while and replied.
As the territory develops, more and more travelers will come into contact.
With the habit of hugging the thighs of travelers, more people will join their territory.
As the number of people increased, Fang Hao could not manage them all by himself.
This involves another function after establishing the kingdom.
Set up a lord!
Fang Hao can set the consuls in a certain area as lords.
The Lord's Book of Lords can restore the ability to devour and control the management of the area.
Fang Hao, on the other hand, no longer needs to manage every city, he only needs to manage the lords of each region.
This function greatly avoids the situation of too many cities to take care of after opening up the territory.
Tasks are issued and will be distributed by each locality.
"Okay Brother Hao, I understand."
Dong Jiayue directly received the reminder that he was established as a lord.
He instantly understood Fang Hao's thoughts.
At the same time, Dong Jiayue also felt a sense of joy in her heart.
Being appointed as a separate lord, doesn't it mean that he has been promoted?
They are much taller than ordinary new recruits.
"Well, check those people carefully, and don't be lenient to those with bad intentions." Fang Hao added.
There are good and bad time travellers.
"Understood, Brother Hao." Dong Jiayue replied again.
After hanging up the chat between the two, Fang Hao continued to eat fruit and read the books he bought from the stall.
Although it is not a special skill book, it contains some information about this continent.
Tap tap tap! !
Suddenly, there was the sound of intensive running outside the window.
Fang Hao has been here for two days.
On both days, the presence of troops on duty was a common sight on the streets.
It also means that Rebecca has received new news about arresting the Faceless Men in the city.
With the cooperation of Fang Hao and Rebecca, he was discovered.
Rebecca never asked Fang Hao's people to do tasks again. Instead, she took a more extreme approach and searched for faceless men all over the city.
It also includes the counterattack against Rebecca's assassination.
Rebecca also reminded Fang Hao that he could leave the city for a period of time to avoid retaliation from the Faceless Men.
But Fang Hao was not too worried about the assassination.
Although his residence does not have as many troops as the city lord's mansion, there are four heroes stationed there.
Demitka, Anjia, Xiaoyou and Laurana.
Coupled with the fact that he has a godhead, his strength has also been greatly improved.
Enough to ensure your own safety in the city.
Even if Rebecca rallied an army to kill him, he would have enough time to cast Demonic Teleportation and return to his territory.
It can be said that unless there is an orange or above hero who is good at assassination.
Otherwise, it is basically impossible to keep him.
Fang Hao opened the window and looked down.
Then he saw a group of silver-armored soldiers running under the window and disappearing at the end of the road ahead.
When the soldier disappeared at the end, a familiar figure suddenly appeared.
Laurana!
Although it is just a distant figure, wearing neutral clothing.
But Fang Hao still recognized her identity.
Why are you going out so late?
Last time, Fang Hao was suspicious of Laurana's whereabouts, followed him from a distance, and found that she had entered the city lord's palace.
This made Fang Hao very curious about what kind of relationship Laurana had with the City Lord's Mansion.
Turn around and open your backpack to release the Skeleton Gray Bird.
He flew out of the window and followed Laurana from a distance.
