French knight lord: I have a skill panel

Chapter 94 Willing to serve Saldin Manor! (5K)

Time has quickly come to the last month of the new calendar year 3797.

The new year is coming soon, and Luo Mo is very emotional.

Last year, his territory was still a small manor, and he could have a panoramic view of the territory with a glance from the castle.

But this year, his territory can be described as endless and endless.

After annexing the territory of Baron Hansen, Lomo connected the two manors, directly expanding the territory several times.

But at that time the area of ​​the estate was limited to the north bank.After dealing with the surrounding gnolls, the area of ​​the south bank immediately surpassed that of the north bank.

In this short year, earth-shaking changes have taken place.

In the past, he could meet everyone in the manor just by walking around.

But now, even if you ride a war horse, it would take you half a day to visit every corner of the manor.

If you want to know the situation at the grassroots level, you need to patrol to do it.

Today's territory is mainly divided into three parts.

The first part is the main part of the Sardin estate.The headquarters is the residence of civil affairs and early farmers. There are various agricultural and livelihood facilities here, food is also stored here, and animal husbandry and commercial departments are also distributed here.

Taken together, the headquarters has developed into a medium-sized town.

Barron is the mayor and Pope is the deputy mayor, which covers residential and various agricultural and commercial activities.There are even bars, tea bars, militia clubs and other entertainment facilities.

Of course, these entertainment facilities were also established by Barron under the authorization of Lomo.The profits in it belong to Luo Mo completely.

Farmers could visit at any time, but knights and militiamen could only enter during designated holidays.After all, the main task of these combatants is training, and entertainment is an occasional thing.

The second part is the new land on the south bank of the Volo River.

This place is centered on the newly built Sardin Wharf, and then began to spread around.

In addition, some abandoned villages or farmland in the surrounding areas serve as temporary enclaves.

Calculated, this place is currently the most extensive piece of land.

The third part is the Soul Hunting Fortress.

This place is located in the northeasternmost part of the Volo Valley. It is located in a remote area and has become a major military base of Sardin.

All magic artifacts, alchemy artifacts and enchanted artifacts are stored here.Also located are the two sanctuaries of the Water Altar and the Shadow Rift.

Of course, there are also Calcif, Vader and his party, who are taboos, and those tree deer.also live in it.

Luo Mo hid here all day to practice, and all the food for these people was provided by Baron himself.

It can be said that this place has now become the foundation of Sardin Manor.

Unlike the main part of Sardin Manor, Soul Hunting Fortress does not have any entertainment facilities. All the buildings and facilities are practical, very boring and simple.

However, after training for a whole year, everyone has temporarily relaxed as the end of the year approaches.

Even Luo Mo had slacked off a bit during this period, not only because he needed a break, but also because he had to deal with various problems accumulated in the manor.

During this period, Luo Mo finally took the time to promote Vincent to the French Knight.

Luomo originally wanted to promote Vincent to the magic knight of the arcane system, but he never encountered a demonic beast containing arcane magic, so he had to use the fire magic contained in the six-legged black panther to create a fire system magic weapon. magic weapon.

Lomo named it the Cat Sword.

Due to continuous hard training, Vincent's physical fitness is extremely solid, the promotion ceremony went smoothly, and he successfully became an apprentice law knight of the flame department.

To be honest, Lomo has never walked this road.The promotion ceremony was still conducted under the guidance of Marlo Stanford.

It is also thanks to Marlowe, a fire knight who has just entered the manor. Without him, Vincent's road to a law knight may have to be delayed.

Compared with arcane magic, the damage of fire magic is purer, but the defense power will be slightly weaker than arcane magic.In comparison, Vincent would be more suitable for fire magic.

After being promoted to a magic knight, Vincent was very grateful to this Marlowe, and would often come to ask for advice on the fire element magic knight.

The two sides quickly hit it off.

Except for Moses lying on the bed and recovering slowly, the others have also begun to gradually adapt to the manor.

Lomo heard from Vader that Marlowe and Boyle were once the nobles of Grizzly Fortress.However, all of their clansmen have been killed by evil orcs, and they themselves have violated the kingdom's military order.The status of nobility has long been stripped away.

Being used to seeing the lives of nobles in the Volo Valley, Romo now has considerable resistance to the word noble.

Fortunately, these two people did not make too many demands on the living conditions.

In order to make the best use of his people, Lomo specially asked these newcomers to teach the knights their battlefield experience and the experience of the French knights.

What everyone communicates with each other every day is about some training issues.

No women, no red wine, no extravagant life.All the habits of the nobles in the north are completely absent here.

However, Marlow et al. do not seem to have any discomfort.One by one, the discussion on the battle is very active.

They may not have been like this before the arrival of the evil orcs, but after being educated and ravaged by the evil orcs, the original aristocratic atmosphere is gone.

Luomo is quite satisfied with this, the environment can really easily change a person.If he, the lord, took the lead in drinking and sleeping with women all day, maybe the atmosphere of these knights would not be as hard-working as they are now.

Lomo visited Moses twice while he was recovering from his injury.The first time he was still a little confused, but the second time I saw him, he was already able to lean on the bed and eat peanuts.

Luomo is very interested in this quasi-level one buff mage.

After all, buff mages are generally more important in the army than battle mages or magic knights.

The buffs they provide can affect most people.Once the number exceeds a certain number, the combat power they can provide is more impressive than that of combat knights.

In the reserve camp, Luomo once saw a buff mage who came back from the northern battlefield. Although this mage was only at the first level, he was honored as a guest by Viscount Alex and became one of his captains.It shows the importance of gaining mages.

Nowadays, in Luomo's army, there is also a great need for talents such as buff mages.

What's more, Moses was willing to sacrifice his life to save others, and he was a man of high morals.

Faced with such a sincere gentleman who has both ability and political integrity and is self-sacrificing for others.Luo Mo showed the utmost respect to Moses and was ready to act like Corporal Liu Beilixian and firmly control him in his hands.

Moses was also very grateful to Dade for Luo Mo's rescue, and the two chatted quite happily.

If it weren't for Moses still sick in bed, Luo Mo couldn't wait for Moses to show the effect of the buff mage.

However, the future is long.Now Moses, as a deserter who disobeyed the kingdom's orders, had another encounter with Earl Brad.He has no other choice and is deeply bound to himself.

In mid-December, Luo Mo took Kassif and finally started a comprehensive inspection of the manor.

After all, the new year will be half a month away, and everyone will rest at that time, and the manor will also hold a grand new year event.Some things have to be ordered years ago.He took Calcif and set off from the Soul Breaking Fortress to the headquarters of Sardin Manor.

Walking along the Voro River, the winter wheat by the river is growing gratifyingly. At this time, a large number of young and strong are working hard in the fields.

Luo Mo no longer knows many people here.They had never seen Lomo before, so they didn't stop their farm work to salute him.

"My lord, it's been a long time since we came out and turned around like this."

Cassif also rode a war horse and followed Luomo, saying with a smile.

"Yeah, I've been hanging out with those knights all day these days. I haven't come out for a long time." Luomo also smiled slightly.

Then, Luomo turned his head and asked Calcifer, "Do you feel a little bored when you deal with these knights by my side every day?"

"A little bit." Cassif nodded, showing a playful smile and said, "But as long as I can stay with the adults, I don't like to go to other places."

Luo Mo knew that this girl didn't like to deal with combat-related aspects by nature. She just studied food and drink all day long.All her fighting skills were acquired by force.It is indeed a bit overwhelming to have her follow him behind him every day to assist him in his practice.

"Actually, sometimes, you can also get along with Nina and Jaina." Lomoti suggested.

Kasif shook her head slightly, glanced at her mouth, and said: "They are always afraid of me. I don't like to talk to them. They never talk to me."

Lomo suddenly smiled.Said: "What are you afraid of? You are not a monster. When I go back this time, I will talk to them. If I don't talk to you again, I will spank their asses."

Calcifer pursed her lips when she heard this.She didn't want Lomo spanking them.She actually wanted Lomo to spank her ass.

But she couldn't say this.

While chatting, the two rode their war horses, and soon arrived at the headquarters of Sardin Manor.

Luo Mo has not been to this place for a long time.Now that it has been transformed by Barron and Pope, it has a new atmosphere.

At this time, the two people were waiting for Luo Mo's arrival at the gate of the manor. Seeing Luo Mo's arrival, the two old people smiled sincerely.

The servants stepped forward and took Lomo's reins.

Luo Mo jumped off the horse at once, please pat the shoulders of these two old friends, and said with a smile: "You have taken care of the manor very well. It has been a prosperous scene along the way."

"That's because the master hasn't gone to the south bank yet, so it's more prosperous there."

At that moment, Barron and others surrounded Luomo and walked towards the south bank together.

In order to make it easier to go back and forth by the river, they temporarily built a pontoon bridge on both sides of the Voro River.

Next to the floating bridge, there is a solid stone bridge still under construction.The craftsmen used are all cultivated by the manor itself.

Seeing these two bridges, Luo Mo nodded secretly in his heart.Barron and Pope did a really good job.

Although the river had already frozen over at this time, a pontoon bridge was still very necessary because of the frequent traffic between the two sides of the river.

As the group passed the pontoon, Luo Mo saw a very exquisite pier rising from the ground on the south bank. Next to it were rows of warehouses made of giant trees, which looked majestic and full of momentum.

In addition, because the ice has not been removed and the silt has not been cleared, there are no boats in the river.It seems a little out of line with the style of the pier.

But the rows of newly built houses behind the pier look more magnificent than the pier.

At this time, there are already many farmers coming in and out of the farmhouse, and it seems that they have settled their homes here.

Pointing to the rows of wooden houses, Barron introduced him: "My lord, this is the farmhouse area where the people on the South Bank live. According to your plan, in the future, the area in the northeast near the wharf will be turned into a commercial area for special use. Trade on the pier. Living quarters are placed to the south of the farmhouse.

In a hurry, most of the people had to be accommodated. These farmhouses seemed to be made of wood, and they looked a bit shabby.

But Lomo has already seen the embryonic form of a town.After all, the headquarters of Sardin Manor is too small, and this place seems to be more suitable for future development.

While talking, a few people approached the farmhouse area, and immediately many farmers bowed to Barron and Pope and said, "Hello, Master Baron, and hello, Master Pope."

Barron raised his head, spread his palms, and said to the tenants, "This is our Lord Sardin!"

Many people saw Luo Mo for the first time, and immediately fell to their knees and shouted loudly: "See Lord Lord."

Luo Mo didn't want to disturb them too much, so he took a brief tour and said softly: "Let's go to the reclaimed farmland to have a look."

"Yes, my lord!"

At the moment, several servants led the horses and rode them while strolling on the south bank of the Volo River while inspecting the newly cultivated fields along the bank.

Large tracts of fertile land have been reclaimed, and fields have been divided into ridges and furrows.Aqueducts and waterwheels are also being built.

Looking at these scenes, Luo Mo nodded with satisfaction.It seems that the reports of the two people are not mixed with any water.

Although these two people are old, they are easy to use.

After the visit, Luo Mo took people back to the headquarters of the manor.

At this time, Sardinian Castle has become the office of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.Only the third floor is used as Luo Mo's residence, which has not been moved.

The former reception room is now a meeting room.Lomo sat in the middle, Barron and Pope sat on the left and right.

Behind them, there are several people sitting, all of whom are the backbone of the civil affairs department.Some Lomos know each other, and some Lomos don't know much anymore.

Barron continued to report to Luomo: "Master, since the construction of the Sardin Wharf on the south bank, the villagers in many villages in the south, as well as those mountain people who have been in the mountains and forests, have been defecting to us in a steady stream. Many slaves who were previously in the hands of the wolf man have also joined our construction."

"So far, more than 4000 mu of land has been reclaimed on the South Bank, half of which has been planted with winter wheat. The South Bank and the North Bank together have a population of more than 600 people, with a total of 1000 and [-] households."

"Not bad." Luo Mo nodded repeatedly, which was more than he expected.It's just that compared with the fields, the population seems a bit insufficient.

Barron felt relieved when he saw that Luo Mo was satisfied.

Pope went on to say: "My lord, I have something to report to you. In the mines to the southeast and the south, many miners have defected to us these days. But those mines belong to other nobles, and their The person in charge once came to us to ask for people. Two days ago, more than 30 miners escaped, and they seemed to be angered, saying that we must return these people to them.”

Luo Mo had already heard about this matter from the Military Intelligence Bureau, and he asked lightly: "The people in the mines, can you show their prostitution contracts?"

Pope shook his head and said: "They can't take it out. These people say they are miners, but they are actually nearby villagers who were forcibly recruited by them. Now they have escaped and joined us."

"Without a contract, it doesn't belong to them. We accept it with confidence, and there is nothing wrong with it. Now is the time when there is a shortage of people, and there is no need to accommodate others." Luo Mo said in a deep voice.

"Well," Pope said with some concern: "My lord, these days, they are making a lot of noise."

"It doesn't matter!" Romo waved his hand and said: "Everything can be done according to the laws of the Volo Valley. These people are originally free people. Since they have passed our screening and entered our Saldin Manor, as long as they do not break the law, , we should protect them! Others send people out after just a few threats, leaving our people to be bullied, so why are we working so hard?"

Pope thought that the people in his town had also been miners, and when he heard Luo Mo's words, he felt a little inexplicable.

That's right, those people were originally free men, since they escaped so hard, why should they be returned to them?
Having said this, Lomo said loudly to everyone: "You are all from my Saldin Manor. What I want to tell you is that as long as you are willing to work hard and build our home together. Then I will not only make you rich, I will also let you live an upright life. You will never be bullied by others again!"

When everyone heard Luo Mo's speech, they felt that it was an honor to follow such an adult.For a moment, my heart was full of strength.

They stood up together, bowed to Luomo and said, "I would like to serve Sardin Manor!"
