Chapter 972 Digging a hole

The treatment was so quick that before Baird could react, his "illness" was gone.

"Get up, my great butler."

Upon hearing this, Baird showed no embarrassment at all. He got out of bed and put on his clothes with the help of Yieta.

Taking advantage of this free time, Weilin walked around the room. It was very simply decorated. Apart from the necessary furniture, tables and chairs, there were only a large number of books and a pile of quills.

Several people came to the living room, Baird asked the maid to make tea, and then asked his little daughter to leave.

Half a minute later, only Weilin, Kyle, Baird and Yieta were left in the hall.

"My lord, what do you want to talk to me about?" Baird asked calmly.

Upon seeing this, Weilin did not keep the suspense but directly took out a stack of information from his space ring and placed it in front of Baird, motioning him to take a look.

Seeing this, Baird bowed his head and then walked to the table, picked up the top document, and quickly flipped through it to understand what was recorded in it.

A few minutes later, Baird put down the documents in his hand, looked up at his master, and said, "Are you planning to let me take over the Eagle Chamber of Commerce of the Kingdom of Belfas, the Holy Third Kingdom of Dawn, and the Holy Shia Orc Kingdom?"

"Correct."

Weilin picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and spoke slowly.

Baird stared at his master and said seriously, "You have to give me someone."

"You can go to the Knight Academy, Warrior Academy, Mage Academy, and Priest Academy. If you like a student or even a teacher, just ask the person in charge for it." Weilin put down his teacup and said with a smile.

Baird saw this, stared at his master, and slowly said: "Without written documents, your words cannot be trusted at all."

After some arguing, Weilin finally agreed to issue a written document, but on the condition that Baird would not ask him for anyone again within the next five years.

Although he felt that there was a conspiracy here, Baird could not judge it under the current circumstances, so he could only agree to it temporarily.

Anyway, it was something the general manager agreed to, and it had nothing to do with Baird.

It would be easy for him to break this promise.

After chatting for a while, Weilin stood up and said to Baird, "Okay, I won't bother you anymore."

"My lord, walk slowly."

Baird stood up and walked Weilin to the gate.

After watching his master leave, Baird turned to look at Yieta and said, "Go and call Lansha."

"kindness."

Yieta nodded and turned to leave.

After leaving Baird Manor, Weilin and Kyle did not return directly to Star-Moon Castle, but instead prepared to take a look at the old castle.

Climbing up the hill, Weilin stood on the inner wall of the old castle, gazing at the scenery below the mountain, with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.

Kyle stood quietly beside Weilin, gazing at the farmland and urban area below the mountain, and asked softly, "My Lord, if the chief steward knew that you needed to mobilize a large number of manpower to develop the gray fog space, would he come to Xingyue Castle to block the door every day?"

"Why do you ask that?" Weilin asked curiously.

Seeing this, Kyle said slowly, "My Lord, what the chief steward promised in exchange for his position has nothing to do with him personally."

"Can he do such a thing?" Weilin murmured softly, and then his face suddenly changed. He said, "This guy is definitely capable of doing such a thing."

"No, I'll think of a way to prevent it."

After pondering for a moment and weighing the pros and cons, Weilin decided to shift the issue to the army.

In recent years, some officers have grown older and have no hope of making further progress on the path to transcendence. They can appropriately "retire" to the second line and be transferred to serve as officials in the territory.

He would return as many retired officers as he drew from Baird's men.

Even if Baird comes to me in the end, I don't have to be afraid of him.

After resolving the hidden danger, Weilin was able to enjoy the scenery without distraction.

……

In Bailang Village, a village under Mengya Town in Jiangtarn County, Qixingling, Celeste brought Myrna to this small village on the border. Looking at the bleak scene around him, he had a thoughtful look on his face.

To see the true face of a lord, it is not necessary to look at how prosperous the big cities in his territory are, but to look at what the small border villages look like.

"gone."

"Oh, okay, Master."

Myrna stopped observing the flowers and plants on the roadside, stood up, and quickly followed.

Passing through the low earth wall, the two entered the village.

Looking around, apart from pregnant women and children of a few years old, there were basically no other young men and women to be seen.

Scattered around, there are thirty-two independent houses, excluding warehouses and livestock sheds, which roughly means there are thirty-two households. Assuming three to five people in each household, the population of this village is between ninety-six and one hundred sixty.

After obtaining rough data, Celeste took Myrna deeper into the village.

After passing several houses, the doors were all closed, but Celeste could get the whole picture with just a little sense.

Each household stored at least 300 kilograms of food, as well as a few iron weapons and some books, as well as a few sheets of ephedra paper and a feather pen.

Milna watched her master walking and stopping, with a puzzled look in her eyes, but she didn't ask any questions and just followed him quietly.

Before they knew it, they arrived at the center of the village, a medium-sized stone square with a statue standing in the middle.

When he looked up, he saw the nobleman he had a slight crush on.

A man with a broken arm came up to Celeste and asked, "Where are you from, you two?"

"distance."

Celeste looked at the other person, bowed politely, and answered.

Seeing this, the man with the broken arm bowed his head in return. The serious look on his face eased a little, and he said, "I am a guest from afar, please follow me."

After saying thank you, Celeste and Myrna followed the man with the broken arm into a stone house.

Sitting on a wooden bench, Celeste thanked the man with the broken arm, then took the water cup from his left hand and took a symbolic sip.

"Are you the mayor of this village?"

In response to Celeste's question, the man with the broken arm smiled and replied with a hint of pride in his tone: "I guess so, but I like the position of captain of the White Wolf Village Guard."

"You are obsessed with the title of military position. You used to be a soldier."

The man with the broken arm showed a trace of memories in his eyes, and his gaze became a little dim. He slowly said: "That's all in the past. If my right arm hadn't been broken, I would still be in the army now."

"But it's all in the past. Now my duty is to lead the young men in the village to guard this place and the border area."
