Chapter 21 Return to the Star-Praying Lake
"Shut up, you don't have to mind my business."
After saying that, Kazak left angrily.
The butler on the side saw this and hurried to follow.
Only the confused noble young man was left there. He didn't know why the boss who was arrogant and intolerant of any sand in his eyes was so abnormal today.
"Master, what should we do next?" The butler caught up with Kazak and asked.
Kazak heard this and said fiercely: "Let's let that...that pioneer knight go this time. If he dares to steal my things next time, I will not let him go."
"Yes, Master."
Just as the butler was about to leave, Kazak seemed to remember something and ordered: "Cancel all the means deployed in Bagamoyo City. The things are gone. There is no benefit in blocking the Bashak Chamber of Commerce."
"I understand, Master."
The butler saluted again, and seeing that Kazak did not give any more orders, he left the manor directly.
…
Outside the city, after receiving the slaves he wanted, Weilin bought some food and set off to return to the Praying Star Lake.
However, he ordered his men to be on alert at all times.
Weilin didn't know whether there would be any trouble, but it was always right to be prepared in advance.
On the other hand, Buck, the president of the Bashak Chamber of Commerce, had been waiting for news, wanting to see how the governor's son Kazak would make a move.
For two consecutive days, it was calm and there was no noble infighting in the central area of Kadlo Province, which made Buck wonder if the greedy hound Kazak had changed.
It was not until he learned that the other party had withdrawn even the blockade that Buck finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
"That boy, wouldn't he be someone that even Kazak dared not offend!"
Buck, who reacted, seemed to have done something he would regret for the rest of his life, and could only see if he could save his image when the other party came next time.
On the way, the calmness for several days in a row made Weilin feel puzzled. According to his speculation, there was something wrong with the three half-elves.
However, in reality, there was no robbery.
At night, Weilin came to the carriage where the half-elf was imprisoned with a piece of white bread and knocked on the iron cage with the knight's sword.
The half-elf girl came back to her senses and looked at the knight who had been sending her food for several days. He seemed to be a human who bought her.
"Here."
Weilin handed her the white bread and the kettle.
The half-elf girl took the food from Weilin without hesitation and ate it in small bites.
"I have no sexual interest in your body, you can rest assured about that." Weilin looked up at the moon in the sky while sitting in the carriage, and said, "My territory is in the early stages of construction and needs an architect to plan it. As long as you work for me for ten years, I can give you freedom."
"After all, I spent 3,500 gold coins to buy you from the slave trader."
The half-elf girl stopped eating, looked at Weilin, and said in the common language: "My name is Eunice."
The light voice sounded in Weilin's ears. He turned his head to look at Eunice, nodded, and then left.
The rest of the journey was safe and sound. Except for a few gangs of bandits who didn't know how to live or die, which increased the number of bandit slaves in Weilin's hands by dozens, there were no accidents.
Six days later, Weilin came to the Ridge Castle again, got 100 sets of leather armor and 300 long swords from his cousin Brian, took back the 23 slave bandits stored in the prison, and went to the Praying Star Lake more than 300 kilometers away.
On June 21, when the sun was setting, Weilin returned to Qixing Lake with a team of more than 500 people.
After being away from home for more than half a month, Baird had taken good care of the surroundings.
Of the 5,000 acres of farmland that had been reclaimed, 3,000 acres were planted with yam beans, and the other 2,000 acres were planted with a kind of vegetable root with strong reproductive ability.
Weilin got off his horse and came to the edge of the field. Looking at the green, his tired heart was relieved.
Baird, who got the news, finished his training and rushed to where Weilin was.
"My lord, welcome back."
Weilin stepped forward to help Baird, who was half-kneeling and saluting, and said with relief: "Thank you for your hard work for more than half a month."
"My lord has listed detailed plans, and I am just doing things according to the rules, so it is not hard work."
"During the time I was away, did any emergencies occur?" Weilin asked Baird as he walked towards the village.
After hearing this, Baird immediately replied, "Within a radius of 30 kilometers, most of the goblin tribes have moved away, leaving a large area of uninhabited land, causing some wild animals to increase."
"Be on guard. We are short of manpower at this stage and cannot afford the loss."
"Also, assign a room to the half-elf girl I brought back. Try to satisfy her with whatever she wants. I'm going to rest first."
"I understand."
After returning to the village, Weilin entered his cabin and prepared to have a good sleep.
After seeing Weilin leave, Baird 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 Weilin's instructions, assigned her a separate cabin, and ordered two knights to guard it to prevent any accidents.
The next day, Weilin took a look at Eunice drawing a blueprint, and stopped paying attention to it, and turned to deal with the affairs in the territory.
First, select 120 from the 300 strong slaves and mix them with the 30 soldiers in the territory to form an infantry of 150.
For the 120 slaves who entered the infantry, they still maintained their slave status.
If they wanted to get rid of their slave status, they had to kill three goblin warriors or become high-level trainee warriors. There was no other third choice.
This decree greatly stimulated the 120 slave soldiers.
In addition, for other slaves, Weilin also promised them that as long as they worked diligently for three consecutive years and completed the task targets, or killed three goblin warriors during the war, they could also be pardoned from their slave status.
As for the ten blacksmiths, fifteen carpenters and twenty-five masons who were bought back, Weilin had different standards for the slaves they left.
Therefore, the hundreds of slaves who came to the Lake of Praying Stars were full of hope in their hearts.
With a goal to strive for, everyone burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm.
With the serfs who had been pardoned as a reference, they chose to believe the words of the young lord.
As for the 100 young men purchased from the Bashak Chamber of Commerce, Weilin planned to let Orlando and Heber go to train them.
Taking his own knight squire Kyle as an example, those who awakened their fighting spirit within half a month would be kept to be trained as future members of the Knights, and those who were unqualified would still serve as apprentices to the craftsmen to show their value.
