Heroes of Silver Moon

As soon as the sky was slightly bright, a large number of victims of the disaster gathered at the gate of the city against the cold wind.

Since the attack in the slums, the royal family has set up a relief point at the gate of the city, where food is distributed every morning for relief, and there is only one meal a day.

The poor people who gathered here showed exhaustion and numbness in their eyes. Just surviving every day has already made them do their best.

In the crowd, a big beggar pulled the little beggar and pushed forward with all his strength. Although there was relief every day, the amount of relief was limited every day, and it was impossible for everyone to receive food.

Successfully squeezed to the forefront, the little beggar looked at the relief point guarded by the city guards, drooling from the corner of his mouth.

The big beggar fondled the little beggar's hair. Although they were not related by blood, after getting along for such a long time, he had long regarded the little beggar as his younger brother.

After waiting for a while, the city guards brought out buckets of hot porridge and boxes of black bread.

Seeing the food being carried out, the poor who were waiting for relief all became agitated and rushed forward.

Seeing this, the city guards and the magistrate quickly began to use violent means to maintain order at the gate of the city.

After being beaten with wooden sticks, these poor people finally calmed down and started to line up in long queues.

Under the expectant eyes of the poor, a fierce man with three scars on his face walked up to a high wooden platform that had been built in advance.

He waved his hand, and the city guards moved the food back in again.

Seeing this situation, the poor immediately whispered to each other, and the rioting mood began to permeate again.

They braved the cold wind and came to line up before dawn, just to get a piece of food that day, but judging from the current situation, it seems that no food will be distributed today.

"Everyone be quiet, be quiet!"

Seeing that the crowd started to riot, the ferocious man on the high platform immediately roared, and the city guards and the sheriff quickly suppressed the rioting poor again with violence.

The crowd stopped being agitated and started staring at the man who seemed to have something to say.

"From today onwards, there will be no relief at the gate of the city!"

Hearing the man's first words, the eyes of the poor people who gathered here inevitably flashed a hint of disappointment.

Although there is only one meal a day, at least it can keep them from starving to death on the streets, but without this meal, I don't know how many people would not be able to survive this winter.

"However, starting today, the western suburbs of the royal capital will start recruiting workers. There are no requirements. Anyone who goes to work in the western suburbs of the royal capital will receive three meals a day!"

The man's words, like thunder, resounded in the ears of these poor people, and the crowd began to riot again.

recruitment? Don't have any requirements? Three meals a day? Will there be such a good thing in this world? I'm afraid those noble masters are not lying to them again!

"I am a blood wolf. I think some of you may have heard of my reputation. I can assure you that what I say is absolutely true!"

blood wolf? Those who knew him in the crowd began to recall, while those who did not know him began to ask the people around them.

At this moment, the ferocious man on the high platform threw out a strong medicine again.

"Anyone who has worked for more than a month can get a cotton coat in the suburbs of the western city!"

The man's words completely ignited the crowd. The food can only keep them from starving to death, but the cold wind still makes them suffer unbearably, if they can get a cotton coat.

"Okay, I've finished my words, the recruitment site is in the suburbs of the western city, anyone who wants to go can go, and if you don't want to, you can leave now.

But please remember, no matter who you are, no matter when you go, we will not refuse you, each person will have three meals a day, and will have a cotton coat after working for a month! "

After finishing speaking, the fierce man walked off the high platform, leaving only the poor to stay on the ground and face the ruins.

"There is no requirement for recruiting workers. Each person has three meals a day, and after working for a month, they will get cotton clothes. Is there such a good thing in this world?"

"This is definitely a lie. In the end, those aristocratic lords will definitely push back and break their promises for one reason or another!"

"Yes, yes, it must be fake!"

Although the blood wolf has repeatedly promised, but the people who have been oppressed by the nobles for a long time, the doubts in their hearts are like a high wall, and they completely sneer at the words of the blood wolf.

Although most people are skeptical, there are always some people in the world who are forced to.

"Brother, I'm hungry!"

The big beggar didn't believe the words of the blood wolf at first, but the pitiful words of the little beggar made the big beggar grit his teeth, and finally dragged the little beggar to the western suburbs.

And people who are forced to do so like the big beggar are not rare in the crowd.

Although they don't believe the words of the blood wolf, life has already driven them to a dead end, and they can only try it with a fluke mentality.

In the evening, those who went to the western outskirts of the city with a fluke mentality returned to the slums.

Although they were covered in mud and their faces were exhausted, their cheeks were flushed, their whole bodies were full of energy, and their eyes radiated hope.

As soon as they returned to the slums, these people were scolded by their companions who did not go.

"Tsk tsk tsk, how about it, are you being deceived? We are right! Those noble masters simply cannot believe it."

"That's right, that's right, three meals a day, would those noble lords be so kind?"

After hearing these counts, those people who went to the western suburbs suddenly showed off unwillingly.

"Hmph, you idiots, we really had three meals today, and each meal had a bowl of hot porridge and a piece of bread."

"That's right, there really isn't any request. We just dug in the past, and those city guards actually gave us food!"

"That's right, that's right, look at that little beggar and that one-legged old man, they just ran errands and helped take care of things, and they were able to eat three meals!"

As soon as the words of showing off came out, those who did not go today were stunned.

There are no words that can be more real than the facts, and the three meals you eat will always be more useful than the promise of the nobleman.

On the first day, there were only two or three hundred scattered people who went to the outskirts of the western city to help.

The number of people who went to the western outskirts of the city the next day reached 2,000.

Eight thousand people on the third day.

On the fourth day, there were more than 15,000 people.

One spreads ten, ten spreads one hundred, one hundred spreads one thousand, the entire king has no livelihood, and almost all the people with sound mobility have come here.

On the outskirts of the western city, looking at the construction site in full swing, the city administrator couldn't help shaking his head helplessly.

Facing the cabinet prime minister at the side, he said: "For these untouchables, you actually agreed to open up 3,000 acres of land on the outskirts of the royal capital. I think your majesty is really stupid!"

"Speak carefully!" The Prime Minister of the Cabinet suddenly changed his face and scolded the son.

"Father, that kid named Simon has made such a big show, do we want it?" The city magistrate made a gesture of wiping his neck with his hand.

The Prime Minister turned around blankly, and then slapped the city magistrate directly.

"Do you know why I beat you?" The cabinet prime minister looked at the city official coldly.

The city magistrate covered his cheeks and said unconvinced: "Because assassination is a dirty method!"

"Slap!" The Prime Minister slapped the city magistrate again.

"Wrong, because you are too stupid!" the Prime Minister said coldly.

"Father, is there something wrong with my thoughts?" the city magistrate asked aggrievedly.

"The problem is big. Let me ask you, what does that kid have to do with us for making such a big commotion?"

"What does it have to do with us? Father, he has touched the interests of our nobles!"

"What interests have we moved?"

"Once this poverty alleviation base is established, it will definitely impact the prices of the capital and the surrounding towns. It will be difficult to control prices by then, and we big nobles will earn even less!"

"Idiot! I'm not asking about the great nobleman. What I'm asking is, did he affect the interests of our Box family?"

"Uh, this..." The city administrator was speechless.

"Let me tell you, no, he didn't touch the fundamental interests of our Box family!"

"Although we have connections with merchants who over-control prices, this connection is not deep. The income we get from merchants every year is only a few hundred gold coins."

"For the sake of a few hundred gold coins, you risked the king's wrath and the family's destruction to provoke that boy Simon, what are you thinking!"

The city magistrate was silent, and he was speechless at what the prime minister said.

It took thousands of years for the Box family to have the political influence they have today.

It is really stupid to risk the family's destruction for the sake of a few hundred gold coins!

"If other big nobles want to do something, let them be the first birds! Anyway, you remember it for me. Our Box family will only watch this matter, and will not participate!"

"Yes, Father, I understand!"

At this time, there was a noise from the construction site, which attracted the attention of the two of them.

 …

In the Grand Duke's mansion, Simon was still in the room, tinkering with his mechanical watch.

I have to say that although I know what the general principle is, it really takes too much brain cells to restore such a precise mechanical creation.

He still studied for more than three months before finally reaching the final step.

On the bed in the room, Her Royal Highness sat cross-legged, successfully completed a meditation, opened her eyes, and Irina looked at Simon with complicated eyes.

These days, although her relationship with Simon has been growing steadily, the growth rate is really too slow.

She would get up every morning, but Simon had to sleep until noon every day, and she had to go home to eat and sleep before dinner, but Simon stayed up late at night.

The two of them only had a few hours of intersection time at noon and afternoon, and during this time, Simon was still tinkering with his **** mechanical watch.

What epoch-making product, no matter how epoch-making it is, does it have the fragrance of falling in love?

Instead of having a good relationship with my old lady, tinkering with alchemy machinery there is really not doing my job properly!

Staring at Simon carefully for a while, Irina first sighed softly, then smiled at the corner of her mouth, regained her confidence, put on her boots and walked behind Simon.

Simon's face almost climbed onto the desk, and he used tweezers to hold a round gear that was only the size of a green bean and thinner than paper, and carefully placed it in the watch.

Woo~ With a long sigh of relief, Simon straightened up and wiped away the hot sweat that didn't exist on his forehead.

At this moment, two beautiful arms naturally hugged his neck from behind, which made Simon's body stiffen after he breathed a sigh of relief.

For so many days, Simon certainly knew Irina's intentions, but for some reason, he didn't dare to respond to Irina for the time being.

After all, once the words are spoken, there is no way out for both parties.

"Hey, Simon, practice with me!" Irina said coquettishly, hugging Simon's neck.

Simon pushed Her Royal Highness's showy arm away, and then replied lukewarmly: "I'm very busy, and I almost finished the watch!"

"Cultivate! Cultivate! I haven't seen you meditate for such a long time, so aren't you afraid that these alchemy machines will affect your promotion?" Irina pouted.

"Of course I'm not afraid. I use this thing for meditation every day before going to bed." Simon smiled and took out a bottle of mid-level spirit potion from the space ring.

Big dog! Erina immediately gave Simon a blank look.

A bottle of mid-level spirit medicine of two hundred gold coins, even she, a royal princess, is not blessed to enjoy it. This guy actually has to use up a bottle every day before going to bed. It's so annoying!

"Confiscated!" Irina became more and more angry as she thought about it, and snatched the potion from Simon's hand.

Pulling open the cork and drinking the potion, sitting cross-legged on the bed to meditate, Her Royal Highness's movements were done in one go, and Simon didn't even react.

Looking at Irina who had re-entered the meditative state, Simon shook his head dumbfounded, and then suddenly sighed sadly.

The relationship between him and Irina is only one step away, this is something both of them know well.

But there was a high wall that made neither of them dare to take that step casually.

"Simon! Simon!" Mike hurried into the room.

Simon put the index finger of his right hand to his mouth to signal Mike to silence. Mike turned his head and saw Her Royal Highness, who was sitting cross-legged on Simon's bed and had entered a state of meditation.

Leading Mike out of the room, Simon carefully closed the door and gave Irina a quiet space for meditation.

"What's the matter?" Simon asked, sitting on the wooden chair in the middle of the yard.

"Today, the poverty alleviation base is under construction. Suddenly, a viscount popped up out of nowhere, saying that the land where we started construction is his family's fiefdom, and they want to convict us!" Mike replied succinctly.

Occupying the nobles' fiefs is no small matter, and if it is not done well, it may even arouse the public indignation of the nobles across the country.

Simon frowned and asked, "Didn't you consider this when you surveyed the land in advance?"

Mike shook his head: "That's the problem. Since the establishment of the Silver Moon Kingdom, the land near the capital has never been awarded to nobles!"

Simon narrowed his eyes, put his right hand on the table, and tapped his fingers thoughtfully.

"Are you sure that the land near the royal capital has never been awarded to nobles?" Simon looked at Mike with a cold look in his eyes.

"I am very sure that the royal capital and all the nearby towns are the heart of the royal family, and the royal family will never award this part of the land to the nobles!" Mike replied with certainty.

Simon nodded, and ordered: "Let Blood Wolf and Harris arrest that nobleman and hang him!"

Mike froze for a moment, and it took a long time to react: "Just grab him and hang him?"

Simon nodded indifferently, and the corner of Mike's mouth twitched, and he continued: "But now in the western suburbs, more than a dozen nobles have gone to support that viscount!"

Simon glanced at Mike and said casually, "Then hang them all!"

Mike petrified instantly, and didn't know how to speak for a while.

Brother, there are more than a dozen nobles! As soon as you open your mouth, you are all hanged, which makes it very difficult for me!

Under Simon's strong aura, Mike finally compromised, and asked stammeringly, "There must be a crime for hanging those nobles, right?"

Simon pondered for a moment: "What is the crime of enclosing the fief and occupying the royal land without permission?"

Mike was stunned for a moment, and then reacted instantly: "Treason, death penalty, deprivation of title!"

Simon nodded: "Then execute it like this!"

Mike asked again: "What if they resist with force?"

A cold look flashed across Simon's face: "Then mobilize the city guards and kill them on the spot!"

 …

Mike returned to the western suburbs, found Harris and the blood wolf who were confronting the nobles, and then took the two of them to find the city magistrate.

"Hang all those nobles to death, and kill the rebels on the spot. The charge is to enclose the fiefdom without permission?" The city official's eyelids jumped. Is this kid so murderous?

"This, should we think about it again?" The city magistrate still hesitated.

Mike took a deep look at the city magistrate, and said, "Uncle Wolfgang, Simon said that there is no need to think about it anymore. If we don't handle it well here, he will come and handle it himself!"

The city official's face froze, and then gradually became gloomy: "What did the kid say exactly?"

Mike's face showed embarrassment, and under the gaze of the city magistrate, he slowly said the original words: "He said that if Uncle Wolfgang doesn't cooperate, he will be punished as the same crime."

A look of anger flashed across his face, but the city magistrate endured it instantly.

Now that Simon holds the king's seal ring, he can be said to be the number two figure in the kingdom. If he is really charged with such a crime, then his father, the prime minister of the cabinet, will not be able to save him.

"City guard!" The city administrator took a deep look at Mike, and then began to mobilize the city guard.

Mike shook his head bitterly, feeling even more tired.

"Let me tell you, this is the fiefdom of our family. If you don't give me an explanation today, then we will make trouble with His Majesty the King!"

"That's right, that's just too much deceit, how can anyone start construction on a noble fief without the owner's permission!"

"Hey, what are you city guards doing!"

"It's against you, you dare to touch us, you know who we are!"

"What, to arrest us, who gave you the power, who gave you the power!"

"If you dare to attack, cut down all these city guards!"

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" There was a scream, and a few minutes later, there were more than a dozen corpses of nobles on the ground, as well as hundreds of corpses of guards and city guards.

Half an hour later, several earls held blood books and knelt in front of the palace gate, crying and accusing Simon of tyranny.

In the study, the old king's expression darkened after listening to the report from the hidden guard.

As Mike said, the royal capital and the nearby towns are the heart of the royal family. How could the royal family award the land here to other nobles.

These nobles said that having their fiefs on the outskirts of the royal capital completely touched the backs of the royal family.

If this matter is not used as a warning to others, then in the future, as long as you are a nobleman, you can point to the heart of the royal family and say: This king's capital is my fiefdom! Nothing the king says here will work for me!

This situation is absolutely not allowed by the royal family!

"Your Majesty, what should the adults kneeling outside do?" Honason, the chief guard of the palace, asked.

Silvermoon Kingdom has only one Grand Duke and three Marquises, namely Grand Duke Gaseppe, Marquis Sissoko, Marquis Hood and Marquis Kim.

Except for these few, the earl is almost the highest title in the Silvermoon Kingdom, and the few people kneeling outside the palace now can definitely be called great nobles.

The old king looked gloomy, closed his eyes and said, "Cut!"

The head guard froze and asked, "What about the charges?"

The old king opened his eyes: "Didn't that boy Simon already say it? Privately enclosing the fiefdom, privately occupying the royal family's land, treason, death penalty, deprivation of the title!"

The chief guard nodded solemnly, and then walked out of the palace with a group of palace guards.

After the chief guard left, the corner of the old king's mouth twitched into a sneer: "Even Wang Ji dared to make a fool of himself~www.readwn.com~ It seems that this group of nobles really deserve to be beaten!"

To be honest, if this group of nobles just opposed the poverty alleviation base and fought against that boy Simon, the old king would be happy to watch this good show.

However, what these great nobles have done seems to be a gesture of not paying attention to the royal family. If they don't beat them, I'm afraid these guys will become more arrogant in the future.

When news came that several nobles had been hanged and deprived of their titles, the city officials in the western suburbs were frightened into a cold sweat.

Fortunately, he had been reminded by his father before, otherwise he would have turned into a corpse now.

In less than five days, the veteran nobles in the capital fell one after another, which scared all the nobles in the capital trembling, not daring to be arrogant and domineering, and all began to behave in a low-key manner.

Time passed one after another, and there was no obstacle to the start of the poverty alleviation base, and Simon finally succeeded in making the first mechanical watch at the end of March.

The main body of the watch is made of various parts made of magic steel. The cover is polished with high-quality quartz to make a smooth and translucent cover. The bracelet is cut from tough cowhide.

The two mechanical knobs on the left side of the watch are used to adjust the minute and hour hands, and the two knobs on the right side are used to adjust the second hand and winding.

Twist the mainspring ten times to fully pull the power, and the full power can make the hands rotate for seven days.

"Success!" After confirming that the hands of the watch turned without error for one day, Simon picked up the watch with tears streaming down his face and began to cheer.

On the bed, after finishing her meditation, Irina's eyes were blurred, and she seemed a little dazed.

Seeing the appearance of Her Royal Highness, Simon was a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Ai Ruina's expression was a little strange: "I'm advanced!"
