Chapter 36 Servants in the Castle

Chapter 36 Servants in the Castle

Inside the Shanlin Fortress, the servants in the castle were captured by the guards.

At this time, they knelt on the ground trembling, and despair enveloped their minds.

They already knew what Prince had done, and they also knew that the man in front of them was the real master of Shanlin Town.

As servants of the betrayer, perhaps only death was waiting for them.

"Sir, all the people have been captured!"

Chahar finished the statistics and reported: "A total of fifteen people, including one housekeeper, four kitchen staff, three maids, five male servants, and two of them are Prince's lovers."

Chahar paused and added: "According to Tom, Prince's wife and son are in Sein Territory, not in Shanlin Town."

Roning raised his eyebrows. Good guy, this Prince is really a good guy. While his wife is away, he kept two lovers in Shanlin Town.

Roning glanced around, and without Chahar's introduction, he could tell which two were the guy's lovers.

With a curvy figure and fair skin, she was more than one level higher than the maids and cooks next to her.

Chahar noticed that Roning's eyes fell on the two women, and he immediately thought of his former reputation in front of the master. He thought that he had not been close to women for some time, and he couldn't help it.

So he bowed and asked: "Master, should I leave these two to you?"

Roning turned his eyes to Chahar, and the corners of his mouth curled up, "Do you think I will?"

Although he was smiling, and although it was the same tone of inquiry as usual, Chahar only felt rejection and scrutiny from it.

"Sorry, master, I'm too talkative!"

Chahar lowered his head, and in fact he regretted it when he said this and that.

The former grandson of the Marquis was the past, and now the one in front of him was a transcendent who had enough confidence, courage, and decisiveness to deal with the enemy.

He warned himself that he must forget all the previous impressions of the baron in his heart!

Ronin retracted his gaze and said to the people below in a calm tone:

"Although you are the lovers or servants of the betrayer, I should have killed you, but I am merciful and willing to believe that you have nothing to do with this matter, so I am prepared to give you a chance to live."

The fifteen kneeling people all breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Ronin in uneven gratitude.

"Although I won't kill you, I won't use you either."

Ronin didn't kill them because he felt it didn't matter whether to kill them or not, and staying would increase the population of Shanlin Town;

And using them would involve safety issues. If they were too loyal to Princet, it would not be appropriate for them to continue staying in the castle.

"Chahar, let this butler take you to count the food, tools, etc. in the castle and make a list for me."

"McKen, you arrange two guards to monitor these chefs and prepare dinner for us."

"Other men and women servants, go clean up a few empty rooms, remember to replace everything!"

"As for these two lovers, leave the castle now. Remember, I just let you leave the castle, not Shanlin Town."

Ronin waved his hand, signaling them to act separately.

For the servants, leaving the castle means leaving a superior life, but compared to saving a life, a superior life is nothing.

After the guards and servants in the hall left, only MacKen, Elrond and Tom were left here.

"My lord!" MacKen said respectfully: "I will arrange for the guards to stand guard."

Ronin nodded. The security of the castle is very important. He doesn't want anyone to be able to enter and exit the gate casually.

"Let the uninjured guards take charge of defense, and let the servants clear the house for the injured guards as soon as possible to let them rest."

Ronin looked at Tom, "You are more familiar with this place, show McKen the way."

"Yes, sir!"

Tom followed McKen out of the fortress.

"Come on, Elron, accompany me to take a good look around this castle."

"It's my honor!"

In this way, Ronin and the magician Elron took a good look around his base.

Not long after, he came to the top of the tower and looked at the mountain town.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the town looked very simple and barren.

Except for the main road leading to the outside world from the castle, which can be regarded as a "street", other places seem to have no decent roads.

Prince should not be bothered to improve the environment of other people. For him, it is enough to live a stable and comfortable life.

And what about Ronin?

He hopes that the environment he lives in can be close to the countryside on Earth, so that he can be comfortable.

Improving the living environment of the people in the territory seems to be a thankless task for many nobles in this world.

After all, there are castles and extraordinary people. Ordinary people can be laborers peacefully. What does it have to do with the nobles whether they live hard or comfortable?

But Ronin doesn't think so.

If the extraordinary people are the hard power of a lord, then the people in the territory of this lord are his soft power.

Soft power is not easy to see, touch, or feel, but it is very important for the support of the territory.

Let's not talk about anything else. Let's say that if the living standards of the people in the territory are improved and they have enough food every day, will there be more ordinary people like David who can awaken the seeds of fighting spirit?

In the absence of enough knight families following, these people in the territory are Ronin's foundation.

But he also knew that you have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.

Roning didn't foolishly think of taking some measures to divide the land. This was not in line with the situation here, nor was it in line with what his class should do.

Adapting to the status of a noble, enjoying the power and responsibilities that this class should have, and then making slight changes according to his own wishes, this is what suits him.

Perhaps one day he will be strong enough, so strong that any decision he makes will be supported and followed by others, then it will not be too late to make a bigger change.

Ronin covered his eyes with his hands and looked at the setting sun, "Elron, what do you see?"

Elron looked up at the setting sun and said with a smile: "I see that the light will always be with you, sir!"

"Under your leadership, this town will embark on an unprecedented bright road. I believe that one day in the future, under the brilliance of your sir, this place will become a miracle city!"

"Hahaha~"

Ronin laughed loudly, "Sure enough, you are still good at talking, unlike that stupid big guy Macken who can only say yes, good, as you wish!"

Elron smiled and said: "Knight Macken's loyalty and calmness are worth learning from."

People who love reading really speak well.

"Let's go, it's time to work, magician."

Ronin walked down the tower first, "The guards are responsible for protection and fighting. Their daily tasks are training and patrolling, not cleaning."

Elron followed Ronin, "You are right."

"So, help me write a recruitment brochure. The castle has expelled the original male servants, maids and cooks. We need to recruit a new batch to complete daily chores."

Elron agreed: "You are right."

"In addition, I just visited the castle today. I have to take some time to inspect the entire territory so that I can make good follow-up arrangements. ”

“You are right!” Elron added: “But I think it is better to publicize your becoming the Lord of Shanlin Town first.”

“The deterrent effect on the street today made the people afraid. Although you said a simple sentence to appease them, I think your appeasement may not reach everyone’s ears.”

“You are right, Elron!”

Ronin nodded and said: “Then let Tom take David to each place to publicize it, and find a place tomorrow morning for all the people to meet me there.”

Thank you all for your votes and support, and thank you for correcting the typos~
