Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 193 Pursuit
"Your Excellency, those newly resettled refugees urgently need winter clothes!"

"There are so many merchants in the market. Some of them are selling clothes. They just use the money to buy them. If the employer dares to drive up the price, he can just hang himself."

"Your Excellency, the roof of the mill collapsed due to the blizzard a few days ago, and now there is only one milling disc that can be used. The farmers who are preparing to grind grain for the winter are all lining up to our castle!"

"Just let Luobo take a few people to repair it. Anyway, he has nothing to do now, and the river is about to freeze. It's just a good time to close the mill for overhaul."

"Your Excellency, because you saved the Pavilion of Barrow IV, Your Excellency Barrow would like to invite you to a dinner to thank you, and also asked if he could return his family heirloom sword..."

"Tell him not to be so anxious! I have to rest for the next few days, and when I recover, I will visit the door. As for the sword... I will return it with my own hands when the time comes."

"Your Excellency, and..."

Stannis finally waved his hand impatiently. He had been dealing with the affairs piled up in the territory all morning, and his ears were calloused because of these trivial matters.

"It's not over yet! My stomach is almost starved!" He rubbed his stomach on the lord's chair, and began to think about what to eat at noon.

Bachelor Romon was still relentless, "But Your Excellency, the matters accumulated in the territory these days have only been dealt with halfway! As a lord, you must solve everything yourself, so as to gain the sincere love of the people in the territory. ..."

Stannis pretended not to listen any more, and he began to think about the next schedule: first, he had to meet with some allies of the Eastern Border Alliance, and by the way, he used the winter break to recruit a group of people into the army. When will he hear back from there.

He was finally ready to get down to business, interrupted the old man who had been chattering and pretended to be casual and asked: "I said old man, look now that we have money and people, do we want to get something to improve our status?"

"Oh?" Bachelor Romon became interested. It has always been his long-cherished wish to expand the Justin family. Now that the fake lord in front of him is actively asking for progress, he is of course very happy.

But he didn't expect that he had unknowingly jumped into Stannis' trap.

"For example, how about we get a few maids in first? A castle full of elders is boring, after all, it's been a long time since the last maid..."

"Absolutely not! Isn't that woman who is a maid doing you bad enough!"

The roar of the old man in front of him frightened Stannis. He didn't expect that the bachelor who was more than seventy years old could scream so loudly like a strong man.

The scenes that led to Justin’s family’s disastrous defeat in the past are vivid in my mind. It was all because of the only maid, the real Stannis would leave them. Now the family is slowly improving. As the chief scholar of this family, Romon will definitely not Allow this to happen again.

"Does it matter? I think that families with a little bit of class use beautiful girls to serve the head of the family. Maybe a little Justin will be born one day. Don't you keep nagging about the current members of this family? Is it thin?"

Stannis' acting talent was really full, and he purposely said these words to stimulate the old man, so that the flustered him could reveal some useful information when he was absent-minded.

Bachelor Romon's shoulders kept trembling, and the nightmare that oppressed him seemed to come back again, "That girl named Sasha, I shouldn't have taken her out of Jalumbu's house, she's as charming as a siren Your heart made you recklessly tear up the engagement with Miss Annister, you know how irresponsible your irresponsible actions are! It almost cut off the blood of the Red Dragon family. After my death, what should I do? How to go underground to meet your father!"

Stannis didn't expect that this maester would have so many inner dramas. At the end of the speech, he obviously didn't tell himself again, but was fighting with another self in his heart, resenting that he didn't stop him at that time.

However, from his long monologue, Stannis got a lot of important information, especially the important thing that Sasha came from Jalumbu, a village under him.

Just when he was about to say something more, Robert hurriedly ran in from the outside, covered Maester Romond's mouth and pulled him out, while grinning helplessly at Stannis and said: "Boss, don't take his words to heart. You know people like to say inappropriate things when they are old. Don't take these words to heart. If you want to find a beautiful girl as a maid, I will support you with both hands." !"

Maester Romun's frantic babble continued to come from outside the castle when he was dragged out, but Stannis had what he needed—the woman's history.

In the afternoon, Stannis appeared in the village of Jalumbu. Of course, he was not that stupid. He put on some disguises, such as smearing a lot of mud on his face to make himself look like a tramp.

Then he asked passers-by one by one where Sasha lived, but no one was willing to tell him that as soon as he heard this name, men and women, old men and women, would wave their hands to show that they didn't know him. It seemed that the villagers were very familiar with this name. Lest it be avoided, but it was enough to convince Stannis of his inference that the woman had relatives in the village.

Since he knew that adults who were afraid could not ask, he had no choice but to pick children to start with. Fortunately, he prepared a pot of honey before coming.

Soon, a large group of children gathered around him, and with his image, he looked like a human trafficker who ran to the countryside.

Under the temptation of honey, the children rushed to answer his questions.

"Who of you know Sasha?" Stannis asked a simple question first.

"Me!" "Me!" "Me!"

Stannis picked a kid with a runny nose to answer his question.

"We all know Sister Sasha. According to my father, she served the lord in the castle. She often brought candy back for us to eat, but she never came back a year ago."

The 'human trafficker' calculated in his mind that it should be the day when the girl died.

"And do you know where she used to live?" Stannis continued.

All the children looked at me and I looked at you, but no one stood up and answered, and it seemed that no one didn't know.

The lord scratched his head helplessly, "How could it be? Didn't you say that she often comes back to bring you candy?"
