Chapter 109 Lord
The lord of Dorez City is named Gottra-Hyde. He is sixteen years old this year. He said that his family has a long history no less than that of the royal family of the Dylan Kingdom, and he once had an intermarriage with the royal family.
However, although the current Hyde family also controls a large territory, their population has become more and more withered from generation to generation. By the time of Golat's generation, only the sixteen-year-old Golat himself was left in the entire Hyde family.
But these do not affect the ruling status of this young lord. He has a loyal...or seemingly loyal minister to handle internal affairs, and a loyal and brave knight commander to handle military affairs. The most important thing is the presence of their family. The asylum found 300 years ago - the thirteenth-level official dwarf warrior Bahanger is still alive, all these have allowed the city of Dorez to maintain its stability... provided that there are no unexpected accidents that are difficult to resist!
However, what could be more unexpected than a disease that spreads widely and spreads quickly?
Gorat was woken up from the warm bed by the head maid before dawn today. The reason was that the ministers had important matters to discuss. This surprised Gorat, who hadn’t paid attention to internal affairs once for nearly a month, and was even agitated. , in his opinion, there is nothing more important than his three newly-acquired beautiful little maids.
Under the service of several maidservants, Golat put on a gorgeous and heavy robe, filled a sachet that had only been used for one day with precious spices specially provided by nobles, and finally ate some of the "delicacy of mountains and seas" that had been tired of it impatiently By the way, I pushed a few little maids into the pond on the road and watched them cry for help. It was not until the internal affairs officer reminded the ministers that they had been waiting for a long time that Golat, who was not enjoying himself, calmly waited. Surrounded by a group of servants, they walked towards the government affairs hall.
The government affairs hall is located on the second floor of the central castle of Dorez. The whole room is filled with a strong aristocratic style, various gilding decorations, and luxurious ornaments make this hall more like a dance venue than a place to deal with government affairs.
In fact, there is no one here most of the time. All the government affairs are handled by the Minister of the Interior, Hurt, in his own residence. The sixteen-year-old lord, Golat, spends all day with a group of little maids, Yingyingyanyan. They are completely indifferent to the so-called government affairs.
On this day, there was a rare dignified atmosphere in the luxurious hall, and Golat, who was sitting on the lord's throne, even felt the heaviness of "the mountain is about to come and the wind is full of the building".
"Your Majesty, a large-scale epidemic has recently occurred in Doraiz City and its 364 affiliated villages and towns. A large number of sick mobs are heading to Doraiz City. For the safety of the people in the city, I hope the city lord will close the city gate as soon as possible. , Stop the mob from entering the city"!
A wretched old man walked out of the team with small steps, and spoke about the situation of the plague in a tone that seemed to be a consultation and suggestion, but was closer to a direct order. As the Minister of the Interior, Hurt's behavior can be said to have almost ignored Gorat.
But Gorat didn't mind Hurt's words and deeds. This minister had been Gorat's teacher of various aristocratic knowledge since he was a child. For a young lord who has no opinions, it is completely natural to follow the other party's "suggestions".
Under Hurt's unquestionable "suggestion", Gorat just took a symbolic look around the officials who bowed their heads and said nothing, and then planned to agree to Hurt's suggestion without hesitation. He was still thinking about going back and "favoring" the new little maid yesterday!
But just when Golat opened his mouth halfway, a loud voice came from the entrance of the hall.
"No way, Your Highness."
Accompanied by a clear and resonant voice, a mighty and rigid middle-aged knight strode into the meeting hall. His golden armor shone brightly, and the armor-wrapped military boots stepped on the exquisite carpet, and the sound of metal rubbing rattled. There was a clattering sound, until he walked in front of Golat, the knight handsomely raised his crimson cloak, and it stopped abruptly with a crisp clattering sound. The mighty knight half-kneeled on the carpet and gave a perfect knight salute.
Immediately afterwards, he raised his serious face without a trace of beard, stared at Hutt next to him with scorching eyes, and mercilessly reprimanded him in front of all the ministers.
"Hurt, you actually let His Royal Highness shut the people out and watch tens of thousands of people die. Where did you leave the Hyde family's prestige and family precepts, and where did you leave His Highness?"
Facing the knight's questioning, Hurt couldn't help but took a step back, and then immediately realized that his eyes were filled with hatred, but he didn't answer the knight's words at all.
"Knight Commander Caskaser, now is the time for serious discussions. It is treasonous for you to be late regardless of your duties. Now you are interrupting the Lord's Highness's discussion. Is this what you call chivalry?"
Knight Keskasser completely ignored Hurt's questioning, and did not explain why he was late. He faced the lord as if he hadn't heard Hurt's question at all, and said his "suggestion" sonorously.
"My lord, now not only is there a sudden outbreak of the plague, there is also a cult rampant, they are persecuting..."
"Shut up, Keskasser, you have no evidence to slander the Church of Tishachar as a cult, are you blaspheming a great god without any basis?"
When he heard the words "cult rampant", Hurt growled like an old cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"You are enough, Hurt. I don't know how much the Tishachar Church has benefited you, but now the city of Dorez is at stake, and now is not the time to fight for power."
"you you…………"
Hurt couldn't hide his fear and watched Caskaser stand up. The anger in the knight's eyes seemed to be real, and there were even subtle fluctuations of vindictiveness in his body, as if the old man in front of him said something more, this The knights will "eliminate harm for the people" on the spot.
Hurt swallowed his saliva, and finally held back his words.
Seeing that Hurt finally shut up, Caskasser glanced at Hurt who held a grudge in disdain, then bowed heavily, and said loudly:
"His Royal Highness, I suggest that you send out city guards as soon as possible to wipe out the cult, appease the people, open the city of Dorez, and take in uninfected refugees!"
From the beginning to the end, he listened to the quarrel between the two most important ministers under him in a daze. Golat, who was sitting on the throne, felt dizzy all the time. Gorat, who was out of breath under the heavy dress, just wanted to quickly end this "boring" meeting, so that he could go back and continue to spend time with those beautiful maids.
Hurt was keenly aware of his lord's impatience. He knew that if he didn't say anything, this lord who just wanted to have fun would definitely agree to the knight commander's suggestion without even thinking about it, so he gritted his teeth and resisted Caskaser's words. Wei Shi also "howled" with a male duck voice.
"No way, Your Royal Highness, how can you let those untouchables set foot in the sacred city of the Hyde family, not to mention that they are dirty and carry the plague. If they infect you, the lord, it will be fine. Could it be that your health is not as good as that of the Hyde family? The humble lives of a group of farmers"?
"Hurt, you are talking nonsense. As long as you do a good job of inspection, the plague will not come in at all, and if you let the people let it go, wouldn't the lord become the same person as those brutal rulers? Aren't you afraid of being criticized by thousands of people? Well, aren't you afraid of being hunted down by those righteous adventurers?"
I don't know if it's because Caskaser, who was furious and about to murder, was too frightening at this time, or because the last two threats he said had an effect, Hurt seemed to be stuck in the throat by a chicken bone, It took a long time for her face to turn red before he hesitated to say a word:
"There are not many garrisons in the city of Dorez...the military expenditure is not enough...how can it be enough to do so many things..."
"Then help the refugees first, at least not let the Hyde family's reputation be ruined!"
Keskasser glared at the resentful Hurt. He didn't know whose pockets the military expenses had been spent on, but now it was really not the time to pursue these matters. He forcibly suppressed the urge to kill this treacherous minister on the spot, and he took a deep breath. Tone, as calm as possible, looking like a young lord who has been moving around and can't sit still, waiting for the other party to make a decision.
Gorat is already very impatient with this kind of resolution. He is used to throwing everything to his two ministers. He doesn't know much about plagues or cults. Now he hears these two " Assistant" finally came to a conclusion, of course they agreed without thinking.
As for the specific actions... of course, it was left to the tireless and respected Knight Commander Caskaser.
Caskaser glanced disappointedly at Golat, who couldn't wait to leave the meeting room, then glanced helplessly around the officials who had been silent from the beginning to the end, and finally sighed heavily, striding towards the main entrance.
Only the distorted Hurt was left staring at Caskaser's back with resentment on his face!
