Inside the southwest corner of Winter City, near to a pile of haystacks, two dozens of civilians gathered here.

"Master Delin, you are the only wise man kept in our winter, are you really going to function for that abominable goule noble? "

"Yeah, Grandpa Delin, these nobles are all vampires, and nothing of them are excellent people. Above the years, we certainly have changed seven or eight lords over time, but every one of them is a man-eating satan, and they need ideas anything about it. Management will only increase taxes. ”

"Old Delin, hobereau are all vampire, you can't go to the satan! "

...

The silver-haired Delin Kwart smiled wryly, and then said:

"I know what everyone means, but Hogg went looking in the Dim Mountains monthly earlier, and he have not returned yet. They have probably... sigh, I can not do anything with old bones. In the event I don't sell it to the nobles, I will Grandpa and son Wharton are planning to starve to death. "

"Grandpa, I can go to the Courant River with Dad Hillman to get fish, you have a tendency want to sell it to the nobles, okay? inches Beside Delin, a little white youngster with brown frizzy hair shook Delin's supply, begging..

The little boy was Delin's grandson, Wharton Kwart.

Delin stroked Wharton's head and said dotingly: "Good youngster, you can get fish, Grandpa is happy, but your Uncle Hillman has many things and can't always help us, we have to learn our self Independence, you realize? inches

"Oh. " Seven-year-old Wharton didn't understand what "sold to aristocrats" meant. He / she just instinctively thought: Everyone is against it. This subject must be unsafe to Grandpa, so he can't let Grandpa go, because Grandpa may be He is the only relative kept on this planet.

"Okay, you don't have to persuade me. My spouse and i think the brand new Solvay head of the family is very young, not as bad factory-like nobles, My spouse and i will do something for him, and i also can find a possiblity to persuade him or her and get him to creates a observe. To survive, would not add too many taxes. ”

Delin Kwart is in his fifties. He / she is the only person in the Winter Land who may have traveled and learned outside, so she has some vision. In the event he met Solvay before, he intuitively felt that this new lord might not be the same as before. Those vampire hobereau are so bad.

Therefore, he required to try.

...

"Lord Baron, there is also a girl named Delin Kwart who has come to apply. inches

Gust and his members of the Sword and Wine beverage Mercenary Group still stayed of course. Solvay's treatment was too high and his sincerity was very good. Additionally, Strong gust and others were escorted all the way. So eventually failed to reject Solvay's solicitation.

Of course, knights are individuals, not gods, with zero matter how erect they are, they cannot resist legit temptations.

"Derlin Cowart? "

Solvay recited the name curiously, this was a pain in Lin Meng's heart for a long time, but then he / she didn't think much about it, just kidding, Delin Cowart is somewhat more powerful than Liu Great Magister artium Xiu How could the sanctuary magister artium appear in this impoverished Winter Metropolis? He must have made a blunder.

"Please come in. inches Aside from disruptions, Solvay straightened his face and commenced to work.

Typically the castle where Solvay lived was not particularly big. Driving through the gateway of the fort was a garden. Your garden was dotted with a few low houses, the place that the safeguards and servants been around, and the external surfaces walls were the castle walls.

Receiving through the garden with a size of more than 400 meters, confronting the gate of the castle, is a steeple fort about six experiences high. A covering of greenery, this castle is where Solvay lived, been around and handled federal affairs as a baron.

The fort is dark and damp, but it is cleaner than other places in the wintertime City. The smell from other places in the wintertime City has also weakened a lot, whilst in the castle, it is practically gone.

Before long, Delin? Kwart was taken to Solvay by Gust.

Looking at the white-haired and white-bearded Delin, Solvay couldn't keep back and asked curiously, "Mr. Delin, does one understand magic? inches

"Magic? " Delin was stunned for a moment, then responded, "Lord Baron, are you talking about witchcraft? I have a tendency understand that. inches

"Oh. " Solvay didn't think much about it. Considering Delin didn't even understand magic, it was definitely not Delin Cowart. Following the magic goal was broken in an instant, he / she suddenly regained his distracted mind and returned to work again. He expected, "Mr. Delin, should you be well written? inches

"Yes, Head of the family Baron, I can read and write. " Delin bowed and replied.

"Ok. "

Solvay nodded, and didn't test whether Delin Kwart could really write, because he presumed that Delin Kwart would not are brave enough to deceive him or her. You realize, it is a crime for commoners to fool nobles.

He presumed that Delin Kwart was not dumb.

"Then congratulations, Mister. Delin, you acquired a job of sixty copper gold and silver coins a month, and you became the non permanent administrative expert to assist us in handling the affairs of winter months Land. "

"Temporary? Could it be? " Delin appreciated the word in Solvay's words, a little bit puzzled, and expected, "Lord Baron, are you temporarily overpowering our Winter Territory? "

"No, Mister. Jeffrey has already sold me the position of the Winter Lord and the Winter Markis. Let me not take over temporarily, but permanently. inches

"Oh. " After tuning in to Solvay's reason, Delin nodded, but he was prudent and immediately recognized that Solvay was better at conversing, far more kind than the past vampires, so he / she boldly asked: "Lord Baron, then why? Am i not temporary? "

"You said this! inches Solvay smiled, "Because I need to examine your expertise, the capable ones will go way up, the mediocre ones down. In the future, if your talents are regarded by me, Let me make you a conventional government issues officer. Officer, give you a boost. "

"Wage increase! " Delin's sight lit up. Of course, he was a white man who had not recently been influenced by Confucian culture. Delin was very direct and asked directly, "How much is the rise? "

"It ranges from 85 copper coins to ninety copper gold and silver coins. The tougher your ability, the better you do, a lot more you will get. If your potential is strong therefore you do well, My spouse and i can call and make an different, just like Gus beside you. Just as Mr. Te, you get one gold coin a calendar month, and one gold coin is not the upper reduce. " Solvay don't hide it, and directly threw out and about the salary standard.

In this way, the individuals who work under them will be more enthusiastic and work harder.

"One silver endroit! " Delin Kwart was stunned. Possessing been not an unskilled person. Possibly in the money of the line chief, not many people could easily get it!

"It appears that this is a generous noble. inches

Delin Kwart a new preliminary opinion on Solvay in his heart.

Pondering of this, Delin Kwart knelt down with a "pop", and then cried, "Lord Baron, we, the people of winter months Territory, have had a difficult time, please don't give people any longer. Taxes are raised, taxes are raised, and we can’t live ever again! ”

Solvay: inches??? "

Delrin Kwart's sudden kneeling and crying made Solvay a little amazed. Seeing the white-haired old man kneeling looking at him, who had received the traditional virtue knowledge of the Far east people, he panicked for a while, and he am not able to help it. murmured:

"I didn't even mention the duty hike! "
