Lord of the Scourge: Become the Demon Archduke In the Beginning

　　 At noon, the territorial census was completed, and Loren looked at the crooked handwriting on the paper in front of him with a subtle expression in his eyes.

　　 Although he knew that his territory was down, but when the family came out, it still made him a little bit painful.

　　 Except for a few high-level people in the entire territory, there are only 7 literate talents, yes, 7 people.

　　In addition to the bearded Deen and Ariel, there are only 9 people...

　　 The remaining one hundred and sixty people are all illiterate, and the literacy rate is horribly low.

　　 This is still not counting the barbarians and kobolds, if you count them...

　　 But it is not without good news. Although most people are illiterate, they have one or two skills.

　　 Tailors, blacksmiths, carpenters, farmers, etc., are all talents that can be used for territorial construction, although the word “talent” has a low gold content.

　　 Loren looked at the few people in shabby clothes in front of him, her eyes a little subtle.

　　 These 7 people are selected literate talents.

　　 He felt that he, the lord, might not be as good as the steward of a block in Dekker City...

　　 "I appoint the three of you as the temporary persons in charge of rebuilding the arrow tower and take full responsibility for this repair task.

　　Responsibility is assigned to individuals, and if there is any problem, you will be blamed. "

　　 The three slaves who had experience in building city walls and arrow towers shuddered, excited and anxious, and responded quickly.

　　 "Lord Lord, we must go all out!"

　　 Lawren nodded.

　　 looked at a middle-aged man in his early forties next to him, and said solemnly.

　　 "Xikeli, I now appoint you as the household registration administrator of the Ministry of People's Livelihood, responsible for household registration management."

　　 The words fall without waiting for the other party to respond, and continue to appoint the next person.

　　 "Mar, I appoint you as the health administrator of the Ministry of People's Livelihood, responsible for the health of the city of Bright Moon, and I will arrange ten people to give you command.

　　 From today, it is forbidden for anyone to urinate and defecate anywhere in the living area, and at the same time build toilets and septic tanks. Within ten days, I need to see a qualitative change in the terrain. "

　　 "All slaves hired by the city hall will automatically be granted third-class resident status, and you will be the real residents of Bright Moon City from today."

　　 "The remaining few people will be arranged by Speaker Ariel."

　　 "The meeting is over."

　　 Laurent’s appointment was made public under the watchful eyes of all the slave residents.

　　 Under the attention of everyone, the faces of the named people were full of excitement and excitement.

　　 They were actually appointed officials by Lord Laurent.

　　 From today, they will no longer be humble slaves, but employees of the city hall, noble third-class residents! !

　　 Suddenly, his head was raised a bit, and in the enviable eyes of the surrounding crowd, the sense of pride was bursting at this moment.

　　 Praise Lord Laurent, Praise the City of Bright Moon! !

　　 A daughter buys horse bones.

　　 After the surrounding crowd saw this scene, the mind that had already started to live was even hotter at this moment.

　　 They also want to be employees of the city hall, and they also want to get rid of slavery! !

　　 The former residents were a pool of stagnant water, with no hope or future in sight.

　　 But at this moment, the crowd's attention-seeking companion ignited the flame that went out in their hearts...

　　 After Loren was appointed, he came to Ariel next to him.

　　 looked at this shy girl, with encouragement.

　　 "Although the city of Huiyue is still very weak, it needs more energy.

　　 Ariel, you have infinite potential, I need your help, and your talents should really bloom.

　　 Just do what you want. I have absolute trust in you. "

　　 This genius is too wasteful if not used.

　　With the shortage of talents, the importance of Ariel has been highlighted.

　　 "Lord Laurent..."

　　 Ariel looked at the extremely handsome boy in front of him, his face was like a cooked prawn, and even his neck was flushed.

　　 The bearded Deen had already turned his head aside early, and seemed to have acquiesced to all of this.

　　His treasure has left him after all...He doesn't know why, he wants to drink.

　　 woo woo... Never have a daughter again.

　　"Ding~Task: Build a city hall, which has been completed.

　　 Reward: Papermaking has been issued, please check it carefully. "

　　 At this moment, the system prompt sounded again.

　　 There was a bit of joy in Loren's eyes, but he hadn't been happy for long, and frowned again.

　　 pay attention to check? Can it be delivered by express delivery?

　　 After several missions, Loren also figured out the principle of system rewards... everything is based on existing facts.

　　 Such as the allegiance of the kobold blood mage Sim.

　　 The prerequisite for this task is to have a kobold bloodline mage to trigger it.

　　If there is no bloodline mage, maybe there will be a change of mission, and there will be no kobold bloodline mage loyal to him out of thin air.

　　If his mission fails, Loren guesses, perhaps the cowardly fellow Kobold suddenly possessed the courage to die generously, and would rather die than surrender him, or just commit suicide...

　　The same is true for the task of conquering the barbarian in the slave market. If the mission fails, the barbarian will ruthlessly refuse to be loyal to him.

　　 The papermaking skills awarded this time, Loren speculated that it might have existed in his territory.

　　 If the mission fails, no one will find out. If the mission is successful, perhaps someone has picked up the secrets of papermaking from the territory...

　　 Just as Lawren was thinking about it, an old man with gray hair suddenly walked over from a distance.

　　 The soldiers who kept order around naturally wouldn't let the old man get close to Luoren for no reason, and stopped him directly.

　　 But the old man's attitude is extraordinarily tough, and he must see Loren.

　　 Both sides pushed up and quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd.

　　 "What is Tommy doing? Why is he arguing with those adults?"

　　 "Don't kill me? That's a soldier of Lord Lord!"

"what happened??"

　　 The crowd's discussion interrupted Loren's contemplation, turned his head slightly, saw a scene not far away, moved in his heart, and waved at the soldier.

　　 "Bring him here."

　　 A few soldiers let them go after they heard Lawren's order, but they were all unwilling to do so. Why is this old man so strong?

　　 Master Laurent was shocked, these people will definitely be scolded to death by Master Kuer...

　　 The gray-haired old man came to Luoren with pleading eyes, and then fell to his knees involuntarily.

　　 "Lord Lord, you are the most merciful noble I have ever seen.

　　 I beg you to forgive my granddaughter’s slavery status and make her a free resident..."

　　 Lawren raised his brows~www.readwn.com~ Just about to speak, the other person's next sentence made him burst out of sight.

　　" Merciful and great lord, as long as you forgive my granddaughter, I am willing to contribute the family's papermaking skills.

　　 My lord, in your noble status, you should have heard of magic paper.

　　 Our ancestors used to have great spellcasters, and the papermaking skills I learned were passed down from that spellcaster.

　　 The ancestors left a last word, and the family’s papermaking skills can produce the legendary magic paper.

　　Although I have never mastered these technologies, if I continue to study it, I may be able to achieve..."

　　Magic paper? ! !

　　 Laurent was short of breath.

　　 If ordinary white paper is exclusive to the nobles, then magic paper is a rare item that is thousands of times more expensive than white paper.

　　 Because magic paper is a necessary item for making magic scrolls.

　　A spellcaster can imprint his mage on the magic scroll, making it powerful.

　　 Every magic scroll is valuable, and it is a more precious item than gold.

　　 But the manufacturing method of magic paper has long been monopolized by the caster, let alone learning it, even ordinary people can't see magic paper.

　　 But now, this extremely precious item appeared in front of him.

　　 Although the old man in front of him said that the technology he has mastered is temporarily unable to produce magic paper.

　　 But even if the system no longer triggers the follow-up of this task, he can still try to get the other party to develop...

　　 There may not be no chance to develop real magic paper in the future.

The meaning of 　　 is not insignificant.

　　 Luoren seemed to see an endless gold mine piled in front of him.
