Chapter 934 Eastern Township

When old friends met, there should have been a lot of things to say, but Nata didn't talk about it. She was only slightly curious about this former suitor—the wood elf village had changed a lot in two years, and Lando, who might have been hunting for his whole life, was now a proud market manager. This change of fate Let Nata feel in her heart.

But after she sighed, she still had other things to do. Lando's emotional intelligence is not high, so he didn't see the indifference behind Nata, but instead he raised all kinds of goods in his hands like a show off: "Let's go! I'll call a few people, let's have a good meal, and there's Huo The bacon unique to Lear City tastes much better than the ones we made before!"

"You don't know, do you? Now the wooden houses in the village have almost been remodeled, and everyone has a comfortable house! There is also a fireplace in winter. This thing is really useful. My fireplace was specially remodeled." , it’s perfect for barbecue—I’m going to call Ohm and the others now, let’s have dinner together!”

Lando talked a lot more than before, and Lando in Nata's memory was also a silent guy. But time changed everything. Dealing with porters and traffickers all day made Lando inevitably become a philistine.

Relying on the wood elf's outstanding appearance, Lando won the favor of many human women when he occasionally went to Hollier City. It is difficult for these women to resist the handsome appearance of the high elves, and after all, Lando could not restrain the desire to communicate deeply across races... When he found out that it is such an easy thing to ask a woman to give her body, the wood elf will naturally start to use his own strength Advantage to seek stimulation step by step. He has seduced other people's wives, and he has also seduced noble mistresses. In short, in the past two years, Lando's life has undergone earth-shaking changes.

He walked out of Elsa Village and was dazzled by the prosperity and desire of the human world. Seeing Nata again now, Lando didn't think of Rody she had followed for the first time, but he was thinking about it like a habit.

But Nata has been in the intelligence department for so long, and she is very familiar with the hidden things behind Lando's words. She frowned slightly, but the boredom in her heart was quickly suppressed - Roddy once said that people are changing. I have changed a lot, and so has Lando. If you feel uncomfortable, then don't force the communication.

"I still have something to do, let's make an appointment later."

Nata waved her hand, but didn't turn her head away immediately. She knew that her current "role" was just an ordinary wood elf returning home, not the team leader of the intelligence department, so she continued: "There are a lot of caravans these days?"

"A lot? In fact, there were a lot less before. I heard that the war just ended, and many caravans have only recently started their activities. It was deserted here for more than a month before."

Lando wholeheartedly invited Nata to the party, but the latter politely refused, and at the same time, the seemingly casual question got him out of a lot of words. Finally, the noise from a distance interrupted Lando's entanglement. Nata turned her head and looked over, and found that a large-scale new caravan had entered the village. Lando immediately became interested when he saw it, because it all meant that he could earn more bribes.

Therefore, he stopped asking Nata, and went straight to her after leaving with an excuse.

Nata exhaled and shook her head... She didn't know whether the current situation was good or bad for her people. But if you think about it carefully, if the current trade route is not opened, the wood elves in the village may have to endure the threat of famine.

Many problems appear after eating a full meal. But if they don't have enough to eat, what is the difference between them living and beasts?

The area of ​​the village is three times larger than before, but it will be over after walking for 20 minutes. Afterwards, she did not return to her wooden house, but put on her hood, and slowly entered the tavern provided by the human caravan in the village. Climbing up the stairs to the room on the third floor, after opening the door, a voice came from inside the room: "Didn't you eat? I asked the front desk to deliver a meal for two in advance."

"OK, thanks."

Nata thanked casually, and Nora, who was lying on the armchair holding a copy of "Karen Times", rolled her eyes: "Really,

It's just the two of us, why are you being polite? "

"got used to."

Nata sat at the small dining table in the suite and began to eat after taking off her warm fur coat. This hotel is actually one of the strongholds of the "CIA". From the outside, this room looks like an ordinary suite, but it is actually the local intelligence headquarters. Behind the bookshelf on the wall is a secret door, and entering is the office that handles various documents and information.

It stands to reason that this place should be very busy, but in fact, the two of them are relatively free at the moment.

"Speaking of which, the Prime Minister doesn't have any opinion on you, does he?"

"Um?"

Nata raised her head: "Why do you say that?"

"So many people have been honored from the beginning to the end of this war, and they have received due credit. But you have been thrown to such a remote place from the beginning. You see, even the blacksmiths in Elson have been commended. "

Nora raised the newspaper, and she herself awarded two medals. Although this is the reward she deserved for participating in the operation, Nora always felt that Nata was much stronger than herself, so she had such doubts in her heart.

"Wars are not about getting medals."

Nata felt nothing in her heart. She never thought about what rewards she did for doing these things—those medals and the like were worthless in Nata's eyes. In fact, if it was someone else, it would be impolite to bring up this topic hastily, and it would even be provocative, but Nora has a pure personality. Not only will she not disgust Nata by asking her this question, but she will feel at ease.

"Where's Soderol?"

"After the last battle, he said he wanted to perfect the military region system, and it's still at the temple. But I heard from him that there will be holidays around the New Year, and I should return to Parling by then."

"Then you must take time off to be with him then, right? Seeing you talking all day long..."

A wood elf, a tiefling, and two non-human races chatted about various topics in the house, which is not uncommon. But after Nata finished eating, Nora turned to work: "Is there any feedback on the news?"

"After so long, there are indeed some replies, but most of the baited are those poor and poor mercenary teams."

The tiefling was a little strange: "The kingdom is unified, will the people of the holy congregation take the risk?"

"After experiencing the last loss, they will definitely be more cautious, so the only thing we have to do well this time is to make everything as realistic as possible."

Nata packed the dinner plate, opened the secret door hidden behind the bookshelf, and said in a low voice, "This time, we must get rid of those lunatics from the 'Holy Meeting'."

Nora didn't say a word, she knew that last time the holy meeting played tricks in the Helchino Tower, which almost caused Rody to disappear forever. Nata couldn't see anything on the surface, but her hatred for this group of people was probably deeper than anyone else's.

*****

At the same time, in the eastern part of the Karen Kingdom, Pukali Town.

After the "Viper Cross" was completely destroyed, Roddy let the "Rose Cross" begin to take over the dioceses across the country. However, the "Temple" just experienced a near-destruction loss last year, and there were simply not enough bishops to take back these parishes for a while, so some fringe areas are still in "land of no man".

Of course, this kind of "no owner" refers to faith, and all the territories of the kingdom today belong to Sally I without exception. And now there is no other concept of "lord". Some appellations have gradually become popular—now for cities and regions, the title of "so-and-so collar" is no longer used, but "so-and-so province".

Everyone quickly accepted the word "province", and at the same time, the chief executives of the provinces are now called "governors"-this is the official position that replaced the lord, and is determined by the decree issued by the cabinet itself. Most of the current "provincial governors" are the lords of the previous territories. They have most of the administrative power over the province, but they have to take turns to exercise power, which has shrunk much compared to before. Moreover, the cabinet also promulgated a series of reward and punishment measures to assess the achievements of the "governors". At the same time, all the "governors" will not always stay in one province in the future, but will have to rotate with each other, and have term limits.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a centralization of various control measures for local power. Regardless of the governors or other nobles, under the eyes of Soderol and the intelligence department, they can only grit their teeth and admit it. The common people were talking about this, but there were also some people who believed that the kingdom would surely fall into chaos.
