Lord: I Am in a World of Pain, Raising a Girl

Chapter 470 Simon Is a Good Man

Shirley took out a piece of parchment with music symbols written on it in beautiful handwriting: "She heard that someone was fighting against corrupt creatures in the North, and she was deeply moved and wrote this "Star Waltz". You can find a musician to play it."

"Thank you very much."

Field had never heard of this person and was not very interested in music, but it did not prevent him from being happy: "Thank you for your friendship. When can you bring her to play with you?"

"What is there to do in the Night Territory? It's too dangerous." Shirley stared and scolded, "She wanted to visit, but she was busy with the music performance of God's Descent Day, so she didn't come this time."

"God's Descent Day... oh! I almost forgot about it."

Field slapped his head.

God's Descent Day is the most important festival in this world, no one else, more important than the Holy Bath Day influenced by the Holy Light Faith. The essence of God's Descent Day is the tidal explosion of divine power, and the concentration of divine power will increase greatly for seven consecutive days.

During these seven days, the probability of ordinary people awakening to become God's Chosen will be greatly increased. And those who already have potential will automatically awaken to the first-level God's Chosen.

The probability of awakening on ordinary days is almost zero.

In simple terms, it can be understood as the goddess' anniversary celebration and the opening of the UP pool. More than 90% of the chosen ones in the empire awakened during this period.

"This is the most important festival of the country, how can we forget it." Shirley put her hands on her hips, "Everyone prays and dances together, how happy it is."

"The territory is too poor, I have no hope at all."

Field was tired: "If you love the empire so much, when will you support me with some supplies? I am also a part of the empire, and I am struggling to hold on in the north."

"I will help if I have a chance." Shirley's eyes evaded, "But family affairs are not decided by me alone."

In her opinion, Field has the support of the Ross family behind him, and the supplies are inexhaustible.

Without waiting for Field to reply, Shirley immediately changed the subject: "We will set off soon to hunt the night owls, don't forget to say goodbye to Miss Rebecca."

"Okay, I just want to sign a trade agreement with them."

Find the baron of the Hill family, Rebecca's father, old Baron Johnson. It was from him that the Hill family officially left the Ross family, got rid of their vassalage, and owned their own land.

"Sir Field, come in and sit down." The old baron came to the door to greet him personally. He looked like a middle-aged uncle, with slightly gray hair and a hideous scar on his face. He looked like a seasoned warrior.

"Hello, Baron Johnson." Field nodded politely.

The two came to the reception room.

"I have been in the Bull Territory for half a month. There are ruins everywhere. I am busy all over. The two children are also worrying. They don't get married when they grow up. They are making trouble everywhere. I really don't have time to visit you. Please forgive me."

Field waved his hand: "You are polite."

Johnson said solemnly: "After Earl Svarro took over the Bull Territory, he let our family take over here and specifically told us to maintain a good relationship with you. There are very few soldiers in our territory, and there is no threat to the Night Territory. Please rest assured."

Earl Svarro was the guy who traded with him and gave the fortress to him.

"I understand."

Field didn't say it clearly, but he knew it well.

The Hill family is just an honest man used by Count Swarro to get subsidies. When the empire's subsidies come into his hands, they will be transferred to Count Swarro immediately.

Worried that Field would be dissatisfied and come out to plunder, Count Swarro specially selected a trustworthy honest man, a former friend of the Ross family, to appease Field.

"If you have trade needs, you can tell me, I can connect with the count. Whether buying or selling, we can give you the biggest discount."

"Oh?"

Field was overjoyed.

Originally, he had this idea in mind, and now the other party took the initiative to mention it, it couldn't be better.

Baron Johnson smiled and said, "In addition, the most powerful defense building in the Bull Territory is in your hands. I hope you can help me defend the Bull Territory together. We will pay the employment fee every month."

"Well? That depends on your sincerity." Field didn't know what he was going to do, so he tried to test him.

"The garrison fees you promised to provide to the Earl before, our Hill family has paid for you. In addition, we provide a monthly employment fee of 2,000 gold coins and 10 war horses. You only need to eliminate some bandits and bandits, and the Earl will take action in the war."

"In fact, even if you don't send a single soldier, our family is happy to establish a good relationship with the Night Territory." Johnson looked like a nouveau riche, patting his chest generously.

"Hiss~"

There is such a good thing? Free money, annual tribute?

After a moment of silence, Field understood the other party's intention.

He just found a way to pay protection fees to himself, and it was probably Earl Svaro's intention.

Field sighed secretly: As expected of an old noble, he knew that the fortress was in my hands, and the Bull Territory had no defense at all. If he wanted to do bad things, they couldn't stop him at all.

Then simply don't defend, instead use interests to bind yourself, and turn yourself into their people, which can save a lot of military expenses.

If the queen had Earl Svaro's means, it is estimated that the empire would not be so chaotic.

"Okay, happy cooperation."

Then, the two sides signed a trade agreement. The Hill family bought the happy beans and soap brought by Field, and sent Field enough first-level fighting spirit potions, food and clothes at half the price of Maple Leaf.

Field took this opportunity to order another batch of logs.

After this trip, Field obtained a large amount of supplies and a net income of 32,000 gold coins.

The two sides happily reached an agreement.

Field left the slaves and goods at the border fortress. Since he was going to watch the battle, Field was worried that Charlotte would be in danger, so he asked her to stay in the fortress first and pick her up when he returned.

He took the remaining troops and acted together with Shirley.

On the way, everyone walked and talked.

"Where are you going to catch people?" Field was very curious, "Can you tell me now?"

It is very helpful to understand the thinking and organizational ability of the elites of this era.

"Go to Maple Leaf Territory. Our informant got the information that Maple Leaf Territory is about to hold an underground dance party. Those dark scums need to be eliminated!"

"Ahem."

Hearing the words "underground dance party", Field had automatically blurred his vision. It was full of dirt and blood, fighting girls with beasts, various abuses, illegal transactions, and it was hell.

"Are you going to kill Simon?" Field said with a smile.

"Of course not, Simon is a good man, he will help us catch the Night Owl."

After saying this, Shirley was embarrassed. All the nobles in the empire knew how dirty Maple Leaf Territory was. But seeing Field's expression, Shirley had to pretend not to know.

"Simon may, perhaps not have a good reputation in private, but every time the empire goes to war, he will provide countless money, food and magic cores. To the empire and the people, he is a selfless good man."

"Haha, right, right."

Field shrugged and glanced at the small map habitually. A green mark appeared on the edge of the map!
