I'm working on infrastructure in the wizarding world

Chapter 69

There are only [-] people in Oulanka, and they all come in batches.How many people are in each batch, how many men are there, how many are women, how many are old and how many are young.What is everyone's name, where did they buy it from, whether they live in a dormitory or in a community, whether they are farming or working in a workshop, Kang Nan is like a bright mirror in his heart.

With [-] people, it is impossible for all of them to turn to Olanka and fear Kangnan.For example, the Beastmen came here purely to find a place where they could live a little more comfortably, not afraid of hard work, at least they didn't have to worry about it, they didn't have to hear gossip all the time, and they didn't have to remember the miserable days.Even among the human race, there are a few who sincerely believe in the Holy Court.

There were one or two of them among the group of people Charle brought from Brandy. Later, brothers Viscount Bob were hanged in public, and several guards were dragged to be drug testers, which can be regarded as a deterrent to them.There are also a few of the slaves bought later. It is said that they like to pray in the middle of the night. I hope that the Holy Father, the Holy Mother, the Holy Mother, and the Holy Son will forgive him.

Kang Nan was afraid that they would separate people if they had troubles. The people who came and went in the past few years were either orcs or elves. It is estimated that those people have nothing to look forward to. Midnight prayers are gone.

Who knew that when the knight mage appeared today, he couldn't sit still.

The first to rush out was a new batch of slaves who had not yet become regulars. He had just cried a few words, and then four or five people rushed over and lay on the ground, cursing Olanka pointingly, saying how Kangnan forced They, they want to be bathed in the glory of the temple every moment, but unfortunately they can't get it, and they are extremely anxious.

Carrara, who was accompanying Connan, was almost pissed off. She took two steps forward, pointed at those people, and said angrily, "Jack, Will!! You are so shameless! How could His Majesty treat you so badly?" Okay, let you slander him so much! And say that His Majesty abused and forced you? Look at what you are wearing, pat your belly, eat enough and wear warm clothes every day, is it just for you to think about how to harm Your Majesty?"

The cheeks of the person whose name was named flushed a little, and Will forcefully argued: "I get everything I eat and wear through my own labor, and I didn't lose it to anyone! He forced us to take a bath and let us be invaded by demons." , and asked the wizard to boil cursed water for us to drink!! Obviously there is a wizard, but the magician is not allowed to cure us, because he is afraid that we will expel the devil in us and not be used by him!"

"Wizard?" The white-crowned knight looked at Kang Nan, and said in a cold voice, "Is there such a thing?"

Kang Nan smiled and said, "Why should your Excellency care about the crazy talk of the slaves?"

"I'm not crazy!" One of them pointed at Kang Nan and shouted: "He also killed Viscount Bob of Brandy and his brother! Possessed Viscount Bob's sister!! This is what I saw with my own eyes. What they saw! They even took some of Viscount Bob’s guards to be tortured by wizards!! The king of Olanka is a devil! Sir Knight, Lord Magician, please expel the devil!”

Kang Nanha laughed, and said, "You still say you're not crazy? This place is thousands of miles away from Brandy, and it's impossible for Viscount Bob to come to my territory."

"You let the dragon deliver it for you!" Jack loudly said, "You let the dragon help you transport the slaves, and the orcs help you herd livestock! You even gave birth to a cub with a black dragon!! Sir, the one next to him That little black dragon is his son!!"

Knights: ? ? ?

Even the magician sitting in the car had question marks all over his face.

"It's nonsense, how could humans and dragons have children?" The curtain of the car slowly opened, and two young magicians got out of the car, and then helped an old magician with white beard and hair to get out.

The old magician glanced at the few people kneeling on the ground, saluted Kang Nan, and said, "It seems that His Majesty does not know how to take care of slaves, but let a few slaves be so presumptuous at such a time, it can be seen that His Majesty usually treats slaves like this. They have been too favorable and lenient."

Kang Nan said: "After all, I am young and not very sensible. I thought that treating them better would make them willing to stay in Olanka, but who knows... Your Excellency Master, it is cold outside, please come to the living room to rest. "

The old magician nodded, but the white-crowned knight snorted coldly and said, "I don't think these people are necessarily lunatics. I'm afraid they will be killed by His Majesty the King once we enter the castle?"

Will's eyes widened, and they hurriedly shouted: "Master Knight, please save us, we are loyal believers in the Holy Court! We, we know where the warehouse is here. He cooperated with elves and orcs and made a lot of money. Gold coins! I don’t know why we suddenly made us hide all the valuables yesterday, and even let the orcs who live here go away too! Sir Knight, he doesn’t want to pay taxes to the Holy Court!”

The White Crown Knight stared at Kang Nan coldly, and said, "Is there such a thing?"

Kang Nan sighed, and said, "Your Excellency, I, a person who was abandoned in Oulanka and forced to sit on the king's seat, how can I cooperate with orcs and elves, and make a lot of money? Even if I earn I spent money and built a house for them and made clothes for them. I don’t even want to bring gold jewelry. I said they are crazy, since you don’t believe me, there is nothing I can do.”

If you said that you planned to send these people away with nice words before, now...

Kang Nan looked at them, as if he was looking at a group of dead people.

The winter wind was blowing coldly, the white-crowned knight tightened his cloak, and finally got off his horse.He dismounted, and the two green-crowned knights behind him dismounted, and followed behind the white-crowned knight with serious expressions.

"Let them just kneel here, so that I won't be able to see anyone else." The white-crowned knight threw the reins on Carrara and said, "Take care of our horses. If there is any discomfort , be careful with your head."

Carrara has never been angry like this since she came to Olanka. Her little face was pale, but Kang Nan held her arm, "Go, call Anda, and take good care of the horses of these noble lords." .”

Carrara saluted, turned and ran.After a while, a few servants were called and led the horse to the stable behind.

The hall of the castle was a bit dark, because most of the windows were closed and there were no torches lit, making it extremely cold in the gloomy winter.

Kang Nan greeted people to put on the brazier, lit a few torches and pressed them on the wall of the hall, and ordered the kitchen staff to boil milk for the guests.Carrara led the maids to endure their temper and put away the cloaks of several guests and took them to the back. They had to clean up these cloaks and then smoke them with charcoal to warm them.Only in this way will the guests not be frozen when they leave.

The white-crowned knight sniffed. He smelled a faint fragrance in the hall, which seemed to be woody, but also a little fruity or flowery, but he couldn't tell where it came from.When they walked to the table, their brows immediately frowned.

A large table that was quite good was cracked for some reason, and holes were made on both sides of the gap and fixed with iron drills.It is estimated that if this was not the case, the table would have been split in two.

Connan kept looking at the knights and magicians with his big eyes—it was estimated that he was looking at the jewelry on their bodies. The little black dragon and Andris, who had been stern from beginning to end, sat in the first place, on his lap. Covered with an old blanket, holding a pottery cup to continue the topic just now, "Olanka can't pay taxes."

Just as the white crown knight was about to say something, he was interrupted by the old magician.

The old magician stroked the jewel on his wand, his voice was a little hoarse, and said: "We have seen all the way, and the housing construction in Olanka looks good, and a lot of land has been opened. How can there be no money?"

Kang Nan smiled and flirted with him, "If you have manpower, you can build a house and plant land. When my relatives left, they took Olanka away. No one in Olanka knows magic, let alone magic. Che, it may be even more difficult to break through these mountains and go to other countries to do business."

The old magician snorted and said, "I heard that the dwarves bought a lot of salt from your Olanka."

Kang Nan said: "Salt has always been the pillar of Olanka. The salt we sell to the dwarves is coarse salt. We can only exchange some iron ore, some farm tools, iron pots and so on. Otherwise, I am afraid that so many slaves will not even I can't even eat."

Both the old magician and the white-crowned knight felt that Connan was lying. They had never seen what a poor country looked like, but in Oulanka, even those "lunatics" looked very decently dressed, and There is also flesh on the face, and I don't want to look poor at all.

It's just that the little king doesn't say anything, it's not convenient for them to act rashly for the time being.Anyway, the knights can do it directly without paying the tax by the deadline. Don't those lunatics know the location of the warehouse?Just take away everything in the treasure house, and they can't catch up with the magic car, what else can they do?

and……

The old magician's eyes fell on the little black dragon sitting next to Kang Nan. When he came to the castle, he felt a very weak dragon's breath, which seemed to be from the little black dragon.And the seal on the little black dragon's chest...

It must be that the old Lehman did steal the dragon egg and the dragon cub, but only handed over the dragon egg, and the cub kept it by himself.But who knew that the dragon clan's counterattack caused Olanka to almost destroy the country. As for why this little dragon cub was not found... probably it was caused by the seal on his chest.

Back then, Olanka had several great magicians.

It's just that the group of people who had already left Olanka didn't mention this matter. They probably didn't want others to get the dragon cub, and it would be easy for them to come back and take the dragon cub away when they settled down.And even if you don't take it away, it's okay to return to Olanka to drive this king who doesn't know how to disrespect the holy court and mages from the throne.

It's just that they may not have thought that they would appear in Olanka at this time.Originally, he was very upset when he was pushed out and sent on such an errand, but if he could lead people to catch this dragon cub, the position of great magician would definitely be his own!

Thinking of this, the old magician's gaze became much gentler, and he said: "Your Majesty, don't be nervous, the most important thing we have come here this time is to find the defected knights and magicians. The Holy Court and the Mage Tower have exhausted everything Cultivated them, but they are ungrateful. Especially the former paladin Landis, who stole countless treasures of the Holy Court and the armor full of mithril on his body. His Majesty the King may not be clear at a young age, but the armor , is enough to buy your country. We are also afraid that they will flee to Oulanka and cause unnecessary trouble to His Majesty the King, so if you see them, please send a letter to us."

As he spoke, he took out a parchment scroll from his pocket and handed it to Kang Nan.

Connan didn't move, and Andris helped him unroll the parchment with a fire.This is not an ordinary sheepskin scroll. After unfolding, a formation is drawn on it, emitting a long white light.

The old magician touched the gemstone on the staff and said with a chuckle: "I haven't told Your Majesty my name yet, my name is Jeremy Hollis, and the name of this White Crowned Knight is Francis Abbott. If Your Majesty knows For their information, as long as we write our name and the content of the information on this parchment, we will receive it immediately."

Kang Nan raised his eyebrows and looked at the parchment, what the hell?Isn't this the WX of the wizarding world?

"Immediately?" he asked.

The old magician shook his head and said: "It also depends on the distance. If it is in my country, it will take half a month to receive it. But this is already very fast. After all, Your Majesty does not know magic. If he can, there are more It is a fast method of sending messages, but it will be intercepted, which is more dangerous."

Connan understood.One is the postal service, which is slow but safe.One is express mail, although it is fast but easy to be seen by others.

Carrara brought hot milk and cakes of milk and cornmeal.Then he said to Kang Nan: "The kitchen has already started preparing lunch, but today's vegetables can only be cabbage, and the others have not been thawed."

Kang Nan almost laughed out loud, and said: "It's okay, pick up some good ones and cook them for the distinguished guests who come from afar, I'll just eat some."

Lunch consisted of baked potatoes sprinkled with salt and a little pepper, some meatballs fried in butter, and cabbage hearts diced and served cold with lemon juice and boiled beans.

These are basically the meals that Kang Nan had just arrived in Oulanka, and only His Majesty the King can enjoy them. Nowadays, even the common people rarely eat such simple-looking meals.Is it because the steamed buns are not fragrant or the pancakes are not delicious?The worst thing is to eat pork stewed cabbage with corn tortillas, that is definitely better than eating this kind of thing.

However, the magician and the knights ate with relish, especially the three knights, who ordered some baked potatoes and asked for more pepper.

Carrara pursed her lips, thinking that this group of bigwigs looked just like that, eating a baked potato with relish, what a pity.

The magician and the knight didn't know what they were thinking. After eating the potatoes, they drank a bowl of polenta and felt satisfied.He also thought that Olanka was already able to provide such a lunch, so he must still be rich.At least a few thousand gold coins must be available, otherwise they will really come once a hundred times.

After eating and drinking, the magician and the knight said they wanted to walk around again.Kang Nan had no choice but to find a few male servants to accompany him with a look of reluctance.What is there to do in winter?Ice and snow are everywhere, isn't it uncomfortable to live in your own kang?

However, when he saw those "lunatics" kneeling on the square without covering their noses from the wind, Kang Nan felt comfortable again.

The magician and knight cannot stay. As for these few people, since they can't live a good life, there is nothing they can do.He has always wanted to abandon slavery, but now it seems that the face given is really too much.

The old magician looked around and asked, and when he learned that bricks could be made without magic in making pottery, his face became more and more ugly.He felt that he couldn't let it go on like this any longer. After they captured the dragon cub, they had to let the previous group of people come back to inherit Olanka and build the holy court and mage tower in Olanka.Otherwise, if this goes on for a long time, how could the people of Oulanka fear them?

After turning around, Magician Hollis asked for a rest, and he took a fancy to the castle where August and Beria had lived.

August regarded this place as a place to relax, and would come to visit his eldest grandson every winter, and lived in that castle every time he came.Connan once told him that the first and second floors of the castle might be opened for trading markets and hotels in the future, and August said that as long as the top floor remains unchanged, he doesn't care, and he likes the excitement very much.

It was precisely because of this that the various decorations of the castle were not taken away, and it looked absolutely resplendent.

The white-crowned knight walked into the castle and said with a sneer, "Didn't your majesty say that there is no money to pay taxes? No money, but you can decorate such a luxurious castle, but let us live in that dilapidated castle just now?"

Kang Nan sighed and said, "No one dares to live in this castle. At the beginning, there were demons and elves who settled here, saying that the castle will belong to them in the future. So they also took out the decorations here. "

The white-crowned knight said: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could the demons and elves come to live in such a poor place like yours, and leave so much property behind? I'm afraid this is not your own palace? We will live here today Well, if you don't pay the tax, then we will take away the property in this castle. The ruler of Olanka, you'd better think about it. Although you don't have the Holy Court now, if the Holy Court really wants to attack You, can you resist it?"

Kang Nan seemed to be frightened, he flinched and said: "But the Dragon Clan said back then that the Holy Court and the Mage Tower are not allowed here."

The old magician hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't be afraid. As long as you have a Holy Court in your heart, so what if there is no Holy Court built here? Dragons...will they still guard here every day?"

Kang Nan shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily the case, but it really can't be covered."

"You child..." The old magician patted Kang Nan on the shoulder and said, "The holy court will give you infinite glory, and make your people fear and respect you. There is no holy court...you have seen it too Those lunatics." He said and looked back here, and those half-frozen guys were tremblingly following behind the knight, "They don't respect you, so they commit crimes, you know? "

Kang Nan was taught: "Got it."

The old magician nodded, found a room for himself, and said, "We'll have dinner here, just let your people bring it over."

Kangnan left the castle, couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and walked back angrily.

Andris said angrily, "Why are you afraid of them? I can kill them all even if Char doesn't make a move! Back then, these magicians didn't want to save my life!"

Kang Nan said: "If they die here, the Holy Court will follow them here. Do you want to deal with this kind of thing every day? Go back and ask Char, I don't want them to go back alive."

The little black dragon also gestured angrily, Kang Nan looked at it, and said: "Those people? Don't worry, the pharmacy is still short of people to test the medicine. Those few people before were almost tossed to death." Bitter every day The medicine soup is poured into the mouth and it is not good to eat. It seems that he has gained a lot of weight. Who knows how the flesh came from.

Hollis and Abbott left those lunatics behind, and without even taking a sip of water, they began to ask Olanka what had happened in the past few years, but the more they asked, the more frightened they became. There are many puzzles.

The elves and Olanka cooperate in the candy business?How can it be! !

That clock tower can directly tell the time?This is something that even magic cannot do! !

All the livestock given to Olanka by the orcs can be bred? ?Could it be that Oulanka has become the territory of the orcs?

"Where is the dragon? Do dragons come here often?" Hollis wanted to know more about it.

Char is an otaku. He usually sleeps upstairs when he has nothing to eat, and he doesn't go out for several months.These few people seldom work in the square. They basically do such physical work as paving roads and farming.

"There is a red dragon, which I can see occasionally. There is also a black dragon, which is said to be the queen of King Olanka, and he also gave birth to the dragon cub." Will said: "There were many orcs before." Come here, there really are a lot of orcs living here! The Black Dragon City not far away is the former city lord of a lord's mansion, a orc!"

The more Hollis heard it, the more he found it unbelievable. Let alone a poor place like Oulanka, even many prosperous countries rarely do business with orcs and elves. They just give people money in exchange for things. Where else is there a good thing for orcs and elves to send money back?Not to mention the dragon, that little king is really good looking, but how could there be a dragon who would like a skinny guy like him?

Dragons like princesses with blonde hair! !

"It's nonsense!" White Crown Knight Abbot couldn't listen. "It's okay to say that they don't use magic to make things, and let the orcs and elves send money to cooperate? And have children with the dragon clan? Are you really It's crazy!! Crazy!"

Will cried loudly: "Your Excellency, we are not crazy! The red dragon brought me here from Brandy, and there were also brothers Viscount Bob and their sister who were dressed as slaves and wanted to escape. Viscount Bob Said that the fugitive magician and former paladin Landis was hidden here, and he was killed in the end!"

Abbot narrowed his eyes and said softly, "Bob's sister...is her name Alice?"

Will nodded quickly and said, "It's Alice. She has dedicated her soul to the devil, and she flatters the king here. That woman, she..."

Abbott clicked his tongue and said: "Alice... Her brother gave her to me for fun. I thought it was a pity that she died in the Brandy War, but I didn't expect to appear here , I almost forgot her taste..."
