Chapter 430 This Kind of Person
The sky was dim, and the cool air from last night turned into dew in the early morning and condensed on the withered sycamore leaves in the yard.
Colin opened the door and walked out, feeling the slight coolness of early autumn. Naxi sat on his shoulder and yawned.
"Want to sleep a little longer?" Colin asked with a smile.
"No, just sleep for a while and Colin will disappear again!" Naxi said loudly, shaking her little head.
"It won't be so busy anymore."
"Really?"
"...Probably." Colin paused and said.
If you don't reach the pinnacle of this world, if you don't completely defeat the gods, I'm afraid there won't be a truly stable life.
Naxi grabbed Colin's collar, her little face suddenly fell.
"Do you think Sister Demi and Sister Renee play well?" Colin looked at Sister Renee who was doing morning exercises in the yard and changed the subject.
"Yes! They are all so powerful!" Naxi nodded and moved her eyes to the courtyard, and her attention was diverted as expected.
"Does Naxi also want to learn?"
The elf's eyes lit up, "Really?"
"Really...it's just that Naxi is an elf, just like Sister Lilian. It's also difficult for her to practice the Knight's Breathing Technique. I'm not sure if you can practice it either," Colin said.
After becoming a member of Parliament, he actually taught the first-level Knight Breathing Technique to a few of his closest people on a small scale.
But except for Sister Renee, the others like Shelley, Lillian, and Atbold find it difficult to get started.
Especially Altbald, who is basically unable to practice.
This may be related to the degree of physical transformation. Among the three, Altbold has the highest degree of physical transformation.
The physical transformation that Shelley and Lillian underwent when they advanced to second-level wizards was actually different from that of ordinary wizards. They both used their original blood to strengthen themselves.
Lilian was originally a high elf hybrid. When she went to the elf kingdom, her bloodline was further purified and she broke through to the second level.
Shelley, on the other hand, borrowed the power of the glaciers in the far north to strengthen herself, which was also the power she originally mastered as a natural elf.
But even so, Shelley and Lillian's talents in knight training can be called "stupid".
Just as the practice of a wizard not only looks at the soul, but also pays attention to the strength of the body in some aspects, the practice of the extraordinary knight may not only look at the body, but also the soul, or in other words - the coordination between the body and the soul.
Colin pondered to himself.
However, the so-called coordination between the soul and the body is still just a conjecture on his part, and he will not have time to experiment in the future.
Perhaps we can find a first-level wizard who has not yet undergone physical transformation to experiment?
Thinking of this, Colin looked at the elf in front of him again.
Naxi has never been exposed to wizard practice. If she can successfully practice, it should be able to support his conjecture to a certain extent.
Anyway, there is no risk in knight training, and he is watching over it, so there is no need to worry about any problems with the elf training.
Thinking like this, Colin also gave up his intention to invest in finding a first-level wizard to study the breathing method.
After all, there are more important things now. The time for autumn planting is coming soon.
Although the means to solve farmland pollution on a large scale have been basically completed, some final details still need to be perfected, and there are still many preparations that need to be made before officially starting to save farmland.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk."
After breakfast, just as Colin was preparing to complete the last details of the farmland rescue plan, Lilian suddenly knocked on the courtyard door.
"What's wrong?" Colin opened the courtyard door and asked.
"In the Ti Lai Mei Mo Plain, many caravans that I have never seen suddenly arrived, and they seem to be coming to buy serfs." Lilian said.
Colin frowned.
…
Outside Golden Wheat Sui City, a wizard in white robes was leading the caravan behind him and asked something to the knight who was supervising the serfs working on the construction site.
"Are all the workers here free citizens?"
"No, no, my lord, they are serfs."
The serfs who were expelled by the nobles did not mean that they became free people, but that they only regained their free status, but they were still slaves in terms of status.
Facing the first-order wizard who was leading the caravan, the knight spoke in a respectful tone.
"Serfs, who are their masters?"
"They were all abandoned by their original noble masters, and now they should have no masters." The knight said with some uncertainty.
"Can I buy some?" the wizard asked again.
"My lord...this is not something I can decide." The knight looked hesitant.
"Are you willing to go with me? Go farm and take care of the food. You can keep some of the food you grow every year." The wizard ignored him and just asked the serfs behind him.
News that Councilor Jonson is preparing to reclaim new farmland has spread in the city of Neustadt. At the same time, the Ista School and the Carmen family behind Jonson have also released news of the acquisition of serfs.
The slaves near the cultivated lands have been wiped out, but there are still not enough. In order to supplement the manpower needed for farming, the Jonson family has raised the price of serfs very high.
Driven by their own interests, these caravans came to the Ti Laimei Plain.
After all, if you want to say where there are the most serfs in the entire Neustadt area, you can't avoid the Tilaimei Plain.
And in their view, it was a win-win situation for their caravans to take away serfs from the Tiramei Plains.
They got money, and the Lord of Tiramei could reduce a lot of the burden brought by the serfs.
Facing the wizard's call, the serfs working in the distance did not dare to neglect and stopped their work, but they did not dare to agree and just remained silent.
"I'm afraid Your Excellency cannot take away these serfs." A voice came from afar.
When the supervisory knight saw this, he felt relieved.
"Who are you?"
"I am the manager here." Harry, the wizard apprentice wearing a witch robe, replied in a neither humble nor overbearing manner. "The knights under me may not know it well, but these serfs actually already have masters."
"Oh?" The wizard of the caravan narrowed his eyes, "Who is their owner?"
"Congressman Colin, the Lord of Tiramei." Harry replied, and then pointed to the serfs behind him, "Although the great Lord of Tiramei has never shown up, he has taken charge of these serfs who were expelled by their original masters, so he strictly Speaking of which, Lord Colin is indeed the master of these serfs."
"Did Senator Colin say this explicitly?"
"In any case, these serfs are currently being supported by Lord Colin. If you want to take them away, you need to at least seek the advice of Lord Colin."
"Then please ask Councilor Colin, or you can make a recommendation for me. After all, Councilor Colin may be worried about how to deal with these serfs."
The caravan wizard was already a little impatient, but he continued with a kind face.
"This..." Harry was a little undecided.
The reason why he came to stop him was actually because his boss, who was from the Loen family, had previously mentioned that all these serfs should be gathered here. If anyone came to recruit workers, they would try to refuse them. This was the intention of the Lord of Ti Laimei. .
But right now...
"Harry!"
At this time, another wizard apprentice suddenly flew over.
"Renner, what's wrong?" Harry looked at his companion in confusion.
The latter did not answer, but looked at the caravan wizard and asked:
"Is this a caravan coming to buy serfs?"
"Exactly." The caravan wizard smiled and nodded, "Your Excellency, you are here..."
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, if you want to buy serfs, please go back. The Lord of Tiramei has sent the latest order. These serfs are his private property and he does not plan to sell them for the time being."
The wizard of the caravan had a smile on his face.
There were many caravan wizards who were equally stunned as him.
These caravans who wasted their efforts and came to the Tiramei Plain never expected that the owner of Tiramei would actually reject their request to buy serfs.
…
After handling the matter of the serfs, Colin spent half a day perfecting the last details of saving the farmland with Shelley and others, and then headed to the city of Neustadt.
It was just past noon when he arrived at the city of Neustadt, driven by his magic power.
Crossing the street, Colin went straight to the parliament hall in the center of the city.
Noyce usually works in the study on the second floor here.
After entering the gate and walking a few steps, Colin met two congressmen, one of whom was an "acquaintance."
If I remember correctly, it was Nickler... As for the congressman beside him, Colin had no impression.
Nickler obviously knew him. He paused for a moment, twitched the corner of his mouth and suddenly asked:
"Congressman Colin, why don't you say hello to our two senior congressmen when you see them?"
Colin stopped and said hello with a calm expression.
"Is he Colin?"
Jonson looked at the wizard in front of him with great interest, whom he had heard of for a long time but was seeing for the first time.
"If nothing is wrong, I will leave first, Your Excellencies."
Nickler was all right, but Jonson on the side stopped him:
"Why don't you want to sell those serfs from the Tiramei Plain?"
Colin frowned slightly. Just half a day ago, he had just issued an order explicitly prohibiting the sale of serfs, but Jonson, who was far away in Neustadt, now knew the news...
"There's no particular reason, it's just that their work isn't done yet."
Those buildings... Jonson narrowed his eyes.
His informants on the Tielaimei Plain would send news to Neustadt's superiors several times a day. If there was any important news, the subordinates who gathered the news would notify him as soon as possible.
But even so, he couldn't understand many of the practices of this Lord of Tiraime.
The construction of those large buildings is one of them.
Colin cupped his hands and continued walking forward.
"If you plan to find Noyce, then there is no need to go any further." Nickler suddenly said.
Colin paused, then continued forward, and the voice from behind continued:
"Noyce isn't here now."
"Of course, even if he is here, I hope you will be self-aware and not trouble him again. Or -" Nickler stared at Colin's retreating back, "Don't trouble the Tate family again."
"Although I don't know why Noyce is helping you, I really don't have anything to do with him helping you. But don't expect to take any advantage from the Tate family. The family's council has ordered him not to use anything for you. family resources..."
Seeing Colin's figure go away, Nickler stopped talking and continued chatting with Jonson beside him about the previous topic.
"How much food will your farmland produce next year? The Tate family would like to make a reservation..."
Colin stepped upstairs and came outside Noyce's study.
He has always adhered to a principle, which is to turn a deaf ear to the enemy's words.
Although Nickler said that Noyce was not here, no matter whether he was there or not, it would be really stupid for him to go back home and not go up to the second floor to see for himself.
As for what Nickler said, Colin didn't even take it to heart.
Noyce's purpose in helping him was noble and for the whole wizard. People like Nickler would not understand it.
Instead of talking about this, I will only feel a stain in my heart.
What's more, his visit this time is not just to trouble Noyce, but to give him something good.
The areas where farmland was polluted were not only Tielaimei Plain, but also Meredith City.
For the sake of the greater good, he will pass on the method to save the farmland, but for his own benefit, he also needs to get the benefits he deserves from it.
It's just that his connections are weak and it's inconvenient to operate, so he wants to hand over this part directly to Noyce.
It's a pity... Colin stared at the study with the door closed and sighed slightly.
It seems that I can only do it myself.
He stepped towards the depths of the auditorium.
There’s another chapter tonight!
