Section 838 Refugees
When he arrived at George's house, Angell saw him writing furiously with an annoyed look on his face.
Knight Jordan stood aside, his expression also full of helplessness.
"Angel, wait for me for a moment, it will be ready soon." George saw Angell coming in, and said quickly, and then continued to write quickly with a feather pen.
Two minutes later, George put the written page of the letter into an envelope, pressed the ink on it, and handed it to Jordan: "You should go to Watford immediately and make sure to hand the letter to Sheriff Byrne."
Jordan nodded, took the letter and turned to leave. When passing by Angell, he did not forget to give a knight's salute.
After hearing the footsteps behind him fade away, Angel looked up and asked: "Uncle George, you look a little unhappy, what happened?"
George sighed: "Alas, it's the people in the upper jurisdiction. Seeing that Watford can't accommodate so many refugees, they set their sights on the towns under their jurisdiction. Even a small town like ours has been arranged to divert and accept refugees."
"It's not that we don't help. In fact, every day we arrange people to take the initiative to deliver food to the nearby refugee camp, but some of the troublemakers in that group of people are not satisfied with this, and often bring their families to the town secretly. How can we accept such people?"
"And, most importantly, there are no houses in Gru Town for refugees." George complained: "The upper level only needs a light word, and we have to pay so much price. How can it be so good! The urgent letter I wrote just now is to express my protest to them."
After listening, Angel didn't know what advice to give. After all, he had just returned and didn't know anything. Moreover, these town affairs were the business of the sheriff and the lord of the jurisdiction, and he couldn't cross the line. I could only reply: "How about this, when I go back, I'll let my brother come to you to discuss how to deal with this matter."
"Okay, this matter does require the Viscount to make a decision, after all, it concerns the interests of the entire town." After George finished speaking, he changed the subject: "Angel, did you go home okay? I was paying attention to Pat Manor that day, and I found that there seemed to be a rumbling sound coming from inside."
Angel thought about it, and the rumbling sound George mentioned was probably the sound made when Eureka cut off the hill.
"Do I look like I'm in trouble?"
"I really don't." George rubbed his chin for a moment, revealing a gossipy expression, and asked: "Do you know what has happened in Pat Manor over the years? Why are all the people who came out of it keeping their mouths shut, and the garden is sealed and not allowed to enter?"
Seeing Angell hesitate, George quickly added: "If it's hard to say, forget it. Anyway, the situation in the town is similar to the past."
"It's not hard to say, it's probably that there is an additional distinguished guest in the manor. And this distinguished guest doesn't like outsiders to visit and disturb him."
After listening to this, George's eyes flashed with enlightenment. He didn't ask about the identity of the distinguished guest, but changed the topic and asked Angell about his purpose.
"Are you looking for Dulu? He lives next door." George said, while taking out a bag from the drawer and handing it to Angell. There were some silver coins in the bag. According to George, it was the money left by the maid Mana a week ago, meaning that Dulu would temporarily live in George's house, and these were living expenses.
"Maid Mana gave it to Uncle George, so you can take it. And even if you want to return it, you should return it to Mana, not me." Angel put the bag back on the table, and then followed George to the next door.
Duru has been living with Jordan temporarily these days. When Angel opened the door, he found Duru sitting cross-legged on the fluffy animal skin carpet and taking a nap.
The sound of the door opening woke Duru up, and he looked around in confusion. It took a while for his eyes to focus on Angel at the door. After a moment of confusion, he remembered that this face seemed to be the true face of Lord Pat. He jumped up immediately in fear, hurriedly put on his shoes and came to Angel to salute.
Angel talked with Duru for most of the day, mainly explaining that he might stay in Gru Town for a long time, and asked Duru whether he planned to stay in the town temporarily or follow him back to Pat Manor.
Duru thought about it and decided to follow Angel back to the manor. There were many people in the town, and refugees came to harass him from time to time. It was impossible for him to calm down and practice the guidance method.
Angel thought about it and agreed.
When he took Dulu back to the manor, Angel told him about the situation in the manor and told him not to go to the stilt house area, and be careful not to provoke Eureka. The rest could be arranged by Mana, the head maid.
In the past, if an outsider entered the manor, the supervisor owl hiding on the branches would probably explode immediately.
But when Angel brought Pat in, it was timid and didn't dare to make a sound. In particular, it felt that the gray bird in Angel's pocket was looking at it with malicious eyes, which made it even more afraid to move.
Angel introduced the identity of the owl to Dulu, and then took Dulu to continue walking in.
In the corridor of the main castle, Angel met Mana, the head maid. He handed Dulu to Mana to arrange accommodation, and went to the main hall first.
Oli was waiting outside the hall. When she saw Angel, her eyes lit up and she quickly followed.
Leon was already waiting in the hall. When he saw Angel, he came forward and gave him a big hug, then looked outside the hall curiously.
"Hey, where's Mana? Didn't I ask her to wait for you at the door?"
"I asked Mana to arrange Dulu's residence. During this period, Dulu may stay in the manor."
Leon was stunned. When Angel asked him to arrange Dulu's whereabouts a few days ago, he also considered letting Dulu come to the manor, but when he thought of Lady Eureka, he hesitated again.
"Would Lady Yurika object?"
"Don't worry, I have already told Yurika-sama."
After sitting down with Leon, Angel did not immediately express his intention, but told George's troubles.
After hearing this, Leon also showed a troubled expression and rubbed his temples: "Have these refugees started to break into houses and sneak around?"
"I heard from Pasha that his cattle were also dragged out by the refugees and cooked."
"The last time I went out, I just heard that there was a wave of refugees making trouble at the entrance of the town. I didn't expect it to develop to this extent." Leon thought for a moment: "I will go see George later."
"What are you going to do with these refugees?" Angel looked at Lyon. He knew very well what the refugee problem meant to the entire town of Gru. How to effectively deal with these refugees is what Lyon must face now.
Lyon pondered for a moment, "I have some ideas, but I may need to discuss it with George, and it may also depend on Watford's attitude."
After a pause, Leon looked at Angel curiously: "My dear brother, if it were you, what would you do?"
Angel almost didn’t think and said directly:
"From the perspective of a transcendent, this matter is not a problem." He can even create a prosperous town for refugees to live in in a short period of time. He can also go directly to the source and deal with Hailan Kingdom, and the matter will be over quickly.
"But if I don't use extraordinary means, I tend to... cut the knot quickly. Kill the thorns and appease the other refugees. Without those thorns, the others will surrender soon, and it will not be difficult to solve it by then."
After hearing this, Leon looked at Angel deeply and said after a while: "I think your behavior has changed a bit. You would never say such things before."
Angel: “It’s better to say adapting than changing.”
"But that's okay. I've always been worried that you would suffer because of your good intentions outside, but now it seems that my worries are unnecessary." Leon stretched: "Actually, my thoughts are similar to yours. The thorns among the refugees are confident that they can’t lose anything no matter what. Then I want to see if they are really ready to lose everything?”
While they were chatting about refugees, the curtains in the hall were lifted and the head maid Mana walked in.
After seeing the ceremony, the head maid Mana stood aside.
"Now that Maid Mana is here and everyone is here, I can say something." Angel's words attracted the attention of everyone present.
Leon also looked at Angel, waiting for his words. But after waiting for a long time, he didn't wait for Angel to speak. Instead, he waved his hand gently, and a small person appeared on the table.
It was a little person whose appearance and dress were similar to theirs, smaller than a palm. Judging from its appearance, she was a fat middle-aged woman.
After she was released, she was still a little confused at first. After a while, she turned to Angel and asked, "Sir, this is..."
"Kumiaomiao, if nothing unexpected happens, you will live here from now on." Angel said calmly.
Ku Miaomiao is Ku Doudou’s mother. He was the third person besides Babaya and Ku Doudou to surrender to Angel in the Living Soul Garden.
In the Living Soul Garden, Ku Miaomiao is the head of Lanyueya Village and has strong abilities in scheduling personnel and organizing work. Since Babaya left, Angel arranged for her to temporarily serve as the chief of the Kulakuka clan.
Ku Miaomiao's reaction was a little excited. After all, she had been in the bracelet for so long. Even though she had water and flesh, she still felt a lack of freedom. Now that I know I can return to the outside world, I am naturally very happy.
"Angel, what's going on with her? Why is she so young?" Leon pointed at Ku Miaomiao in surprise, with a look of astonishment on his face.
Not only Leon, but also the head maid Mana and Ollie all covered their mouths and looked at Ku Miaomiao.
Although there are many races in the wizarding world, various humanoid races can often be seen on the mainland, so the mortals there are no longer surprised. But in the Old Continent, they are basically all descendants of Homo sapiens, and there are no humanoids on weekdays. Coupled with the fact that Gru Town is closed and remote, it was the first time for all of them to see this creature.
Ollie's eyes were shining and she said in surprise: "It's so small, just like a little goblin in a fairy tale."
After hearing this, Angel smiled and said: "Actually, what you said is really right. Their clan has another nickname, called..."
"The Goblin in the Attic."
