Chapter 21 Return to the Lake of Praying Stars
"Shut up, you don't have to worry about my business."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kazak left angrily.
The butler on the side saw this and hurriedly followed.
Only the bewildered noble young man was left. He didn't know why the boss, who was usually arrogant and domineering and couldn't tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes, was so abnormal today.
"Master, what should we do next?" the housekeeper caught up with Kazak and asked.
Hearing this, Kazak said with an inward look: "Let me let go of that...that pioneer knight this time. If he dares to steal my things next time, I won't let him go."
"Yes, Master."
Just when the housekeeper was about to leave, Kazak seemed to remember something and said: "Cancel all the means deployed in Bagamoyo City. Everything is gone. There is no way to block the Basak Chamber of Commerce." What’s the benefit?”
"I understand, Master."
The butler saluted again, and seeing that Kazak didn't give any more instructions, he left the manor.
……
Outside the city, after Weilin received the slaves he wanted, he purchased some food and set off back to the Lake of Prayer for Stars.
However, he ordered his men to be on alert at all times.
Weilin doesn't know yet whether there will be any trouble, but it's always good to be prepared in advance.
On the other side, Buck, the president of Basak Chamber of Commerce, has been waiting for news and wants to see how Kazak, the son of the governor, will act.
For two days in a row, everything was calm, and there was no internal fighting among the nobles in the central area of Cardro Province. Buck couldn't help but wonder whether the greedy hunting dog Kazak had changed his surname.
It wasn't until he learned that the other party had even withdrawn its blockade measures that Buck finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
"That young man can't be someone that even Kazak wouldn't dare to offend!"
After reacting, Buck seemed to have done something he would regret for the rest of his life. He could only see if he could save his image when the other party came next time.
During the journey, the calm situation for several days made Weilin feel puzzled. According to his speculation, there was something wrong with the half-elf.
However, in reality, nothing blocking the way happened.
At night, Verin took a piece of white bread to the carriage where the half-elf was imprisoned, and knocked on the iron cage with his knight's sword.
The half-elf girl reacted from her daze and looked at the knight who had been bringing food to her for several days. He seemed to be the human who bought her.
"Give."
Verin handed her the white bread and the kettle.
The half-elf girl did not hesitate, took the food from Verin's hand, and ate it in small bites.
"I have no interest in your body, you can rest assured." Weilin looked at the carriage, looked up at the moon in the sky, and said, "My territory is in the early stages of construction and requires planning by an architect. As long as If you serve me for ten years with peace of mind, I can give you your freedom."
"After all, I spent 3,500 gold coins to buy you from a slave merchant."
The half-elf girl stopped eating, looked at Verin, and said in common language: "My name is Eunice."
A light voice sounded in Verin's ears. He turned his head to look at Eunice, nodded, and then left.
The rest of the journey was uneventful. Except for a few gangs of reckless bandits, who added dozens more bandit slaves to Weilin's hands, no accidents occurred.
Six days later, Verin came to Ridge Castle again, received a hundred sets of leather armor and three hundred swords from his cousin Brian, retrieved the twenty-three slave robbers stored in the prison, and asked the three Go to the Lake of Prayer for Stars more than 100 kilometers away.
On June 6, when the sun set, Weilin led a team of more than 21 people back to the Lake of Prayer for Stars.
After being away from home for more than half a month, Baird took good care of the surroundings.
Of the 5,000 acres of farmland that was reclaimed, 3,000 acres were all planted with jicama, and the other 2,000 acres were also planted with a type of vegetable root that has a strong reproductive capacity.
Weilin got off his horse and came to the edge of the field. Looking at the green fields, his tired heart was relieved.
After receiving the news, Baird ended his training and rushed to Verin's location.
"My lord, welcome back."
Weilin stepped forward to help Baird, who was half-kneeling and saluting, and said happily: "You have worked hard for more than half a month."
"The master has detailed plans, and the subordinates just follow the rules, which is not considered hard work."
"Have there been any emergencies while I was away?" Weilin asked Baird as he walked towards the village.
After hearing this, Baird immediately replied, "Within a radius of thirty kilometers, most of the goblin tribes have moved away, leaving a large area of uninhabited land, which has caused an increase in the number of wild beasts."
"Do a good job in vigilance. At this stage, we are short of manpower and cannot afford to lose."
"In addition, the half-elf girl I brought back will be assigned a room to her. I will try my best to satisfy her with whatever she wants. I will go and rest first."
"My subordinate understands."
After returning to the village, Weilin entered his cabin and prepared to have a good sleep.
After Baird saw Weilin leaving, he ordered people to settle the slaves he brought back, and dispatched a team of soldiers to guard them to prevent anyone from escaping.
For the half-elf girl Eunice, Baird followed Verin's instructions and assigned a wooden house to him alone, and ordered two knights to guard it in case of accidents.
The next day, Verin took a look at Eunice's drawings, stopped paying attention, and turned to deal with the affairs in the territory.
First, 120 slaves were selected from 300 strong slaves and mixed with 30 soldiers in the territory to form an infantry team of 150 people.
For the one hundred and twenty slaves who entered the infantry, they remained slaves.
If you want to release yourself as a slave, you have to kill three goblin warriors or become a high-level trainee warrior. There is no other option.
This decree greatly stimulated the one hundred and twenty slave soldiers.
In addition, for other slaves, Weilin also promised them that as long as they work diligently for three consecutive years, complete the task quota, or kill three Goblin warriors in war, they can also be pardoned as slaves.
As for the ten blacksmiths, fifteen carpenters and twenty-five masons who were purchased, Verin had different standards for the slaves they had escaped.
Therefore, each of the hundreds of slaves who came to the Lake of Praying Stars was full of hope.
With a goal to strive for, everyone bursts out with unprecedented enthusiasm.
With the pardoned serfs as a reference, they chose to believe the young lord's words.
As for the hundred teenagers purchased from Basak Chamber of Commerce, Verin planned to let Orlando and Hebrews train them.
Taking the example of his knight squire Kyle, he awakened his fighting spirit within half a month and stayed to be trained as future members of the knights. Those who were unqualified could still serve as apprentices to craftsmen to show their value.
