Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 199 Wealth Code
After hearing Weierfu's explanation, everyone suddenly realized:

"It turns out that this is 'broken chapter'..."

Master Laurie suddenly remembered something, blocked Belgrade's sight with his body, and asked in a low voice:
"But... but you are a bad book writer, where did you know the location of the ancient treasure house?"

"What do you mean 'stinky book writer'?!" Vilf first protested against Master Laurie's professional discrimination, and then quietly replied, "My ancestors are also Chinese elves, and there have always been rumors in the family... In addition, when I was writing a historical novel, I checked a lot of information, and then accidentally found the location of Chi Lianhua and the elf treasure house..."

Xia Houyan and Master Laurie have nothing to say:
When I was writing a book and searching for information, I was able to find the location of a secret treasure house...

It seems that I really can't write small white essays...

On the other side, Belgrade, who was burning with anxiety, only saw the group of Shuangfengling scum whispering to each other, probably engaged in some popular literature discussion, and hurriedly shouted:
"Leader, Lord Lord!"

Xia Houyan held Weierfu in his arms, and glanced at Begrade who was still tied up and kneeling on the ground.

Belgrade also felt that his tone was a bit offensive, and quickly put on a pitiful and humble expression:

"Lord, Lord Lord, look, I was deceived by that old thief in Houston... Besides, I did not cause any actual harm to your territory. As a noble Lord Lord, can you..."

"Damn! What do you mean 'no actual harm'?! I'm completely unconscious..." Xia Houyan cursed aggressively halfway, then turned to confirm with her sister, "...been unconscious for three hours! You know that Ben How many gold coins can the lord earn in an hour?! Also, our beloved Master Victor Laurie, even lost his old face, and danced the evil dance of orcs with cow dung. Isn’t it all your fault?! If you look at my dear sister Katerina, her eyes are red from crying, don't you pay for mental damage?!"

"I, me, me..." Belgrade couldn't argue.

As a result, the lord immediately changed his words:
"However, 'When friends come, they have good wine, and when wolves come, they have shotguns', which has always been the principle of how we treat people in Shuangfengling!"

Mayor Joel smacked his lips secretly:
The old man always feels that your lord's principles have always been "I opened this road and I planted this tree"?

The senior official Xiahou didn't know that he had been slandered by his subordinates, so he continued:

"Since you were also misled by traitors, the lord is magnanimous and has decided not to hold you accountable for being an enemy of Shuangfengling! Come and untie Master Belgrade!"

A dignified junior magister, let alone a young elf, can't be seen everywhere after all:
The pioneer recruits hurried forward, stretched out their hands to support Begrade, and carefully untied him.

"Master Beglade, I hope you will stop believing the slander of traitors!" Xia Houyan waved his hand casually, "I wish you a safe journey on your way back to the Stardust Elf Protectorate!"

Begrade, who was ordered to be expelled in a daze, followed the recruits for two steps with a bewildered expression, suddenly realized, turned around and shouted at Xia Houyan:
"Wait a minute, my lord, I can't go yet..."

"You have to pay for accommodation in Shuangfengling." Xia Houyan showed a kind smile towards Begrade.

"No, that's not what I meant..." Belgrade gestured frantically, "The proposal I told you just now, we haven't finished talking yet... Can you allow me to bring Miss Welf together Bring it back to the Stardust Protectorate?"

"I'm not leaving!" Vilf protested, shaking her fists.

Xia Houyan narrowed his eyes slightly, and after looking at Werf, he looked at Belgrade.

"Your Majesty, you just heard that our Queen very much needs Ms. Welf to stay in the protectorate and continue to write books..." Begrade wiped the sweat from his forehead and said cautiously, "And Her Majesty The reward for the 'Flower of Abundance' is still valid to this day—that is, since Miss Welf is your subordinate, as long as you let me bring her back to the protectorate, Her Majesty the Queen will keep her promise and bring her back to the protectorate. Frost Maple Ridge, the territory presented to you by a team of elf mages."

The air in the hall was suddenly extremely quiet, and a needle could be heard falling.

A group of elf mages——Anyone who has a brain in Haven knows what a huge fortune this is.

The elves, which have continued from ancient times to the present, have always been considered the race with the highest affinity for magic. Belgrade, who was promoted to a junior magister at a young age and completely humiliated Master Laurie, is these "children of magic" The best proof of racial talent;
What's more, magicians themselves are the rarest and most practical elite talents on the mainland. A magician with strong mana and excellent knowledge is enough to get a common man from any noble, chamber of commerce, mercenary group or civil organization. Super high salary with jealousy and enthusiasm;
And what the elf queen paid for Vilf was not even an elf mage, but an entire group of elf mages!
With a group of elf mages, it is not impossible for Shuangfengling to not only dominate the wasteland, but even go to the territory of Rock Creek City and fight the Duke of Houston, the landowner——

After Macy left for vacation, the Igor family, which was left with only a rogue and spiritual magician in command, never needed high-end magic power to sit in command!

In an instant, all the people from Shuangfengling looked at Wei Erfu with greed.

This time, the 'Flower of Abundance' did not yell to protest, but raised its face tremblingly, looking pitifully at the lord.

Xia Houyan also lowered his head, staring into her emerald eyes.

"You don't want to go back to the protectorate?" the lord asked.

"I don't want to..." Wei Erfu's voice was as thin as a gnat.

"Why don't you want to?" Xia Houyan stroked her hair.

"Coding is so tiring..." Wei Erfu's voice was already crying, "Dogs don't even write novels..."

Everyone's face was black.

"Eliot..." Katerina, who had been standing by the side, finally couldn't hold back, and reached out to support her younger brother's shoulder and said softly.

These days, the girls Katerina, Anjie, and Welf have been staying together, and now the eldest lady of the Igor family is really reluctant to send her back to the Eastern Realm;
However, Katerina also knows how precious a group of mages is to Shuangfengling today;

Therefore, the noble lady didn't say anything other than calling her brother.

Xia Houyan looked down at Welf, silent for a moment, then raised his head, and smiled apologetically at Begrade:
"Master Belgrade, you see, my original intention of being the lord and establishing this territory was just to seek a way out for my people in the chaos... and this Miss Welf, no matter How, now it can be regarded as a member of our territory—in order to strengthen the strength of the territory, sacrifice the freedom and happiness of the people in the territory, and send her to another place? Sorry, I can’t do such a thing that is so chasing after the end—besides, On weekdays, this little girl is quite comfortable to use to warm the bed, I am a bit reluctant."

Everyone pretended they didn't hear Ya's last sentence.

Vilf, whose face was flushed, looked at the lord with many little stars in her eyes.

Belgrade paled:

"So... my lord... are you rejecting my proposal?"

Xia Houyan chuckled:
"You can't say that...Master Beglade, listen to my understanding of this matter, right—Her Majesty the Queen of your Stardust Protectorate is anxious if you don't see the sequel of 'Flower of Abundance'" I can't sleep... In other words, Her Majesty the Queen doesn't need Vilf to return to the protectorate, as long as she can continue to read her novels serially, right?"

Belgrade hesitated:
"Well... In theory, yes, but if Miss Welf is not under the control of the protectorate, who can guarantee that she will not suddenly break up and run away one day? With all due respect, Ms. Welf As an author, he has a criminal record and cannot be trusted."

"What if Shuangfengling acts as the supervisor?" Xia Houyan suggested with a smile, "Actually, we can let Miss Wei Erfu stay in Shuangfengling, and we will urge her to complete the chapters of the novel on time, and then use carrier pigeons or magic Send it to the east... In this case, your Majesty the Queen must be satisfied, right?"

Everyone in Shuangfengling nodded in unison, but Weierfu's cries of "but I don't want to write a book" were completely ignored.

Belgrade shook his head and said:
"Shuangfengling and the Stardust Protectorate are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. To be honest, your plan is not reliable—not to mention, you and Miss Werf are all in the same group. It is not impossible to supervise the author's writing. But how can the author's concubine... the lord himself come to supervise? What about guarding yourself?"

The crowd of Shuangfengling people looked at each other in dismay, extremely depressed——

——This group of poor ghosts are really reluctant to part with that team of elf mages...

To everyone's surprise, the lord still had a warm smile on his face:
"Master Belgrade, in fact, my plan is like this - what your Majesty the Queen wants to read is just the following part of the novel 'Flowers of Abundance', but is the text Her Majesty has read is 'Flowers of Abundance'?" Written by myself, it doesn’t really matter that much…”

"You mean..." Begrade raised his eyes to look at the lord, his voice trembling.

"That's right, a ghostwriter." Xia Houyan leaned back in his chair loudly, "To tell you the truth, after this battle with the Bandit Allied Forces, we should be able to capture a lot of prisoners, and there must be writing work among them." In addition to recruiting from the towns on the left bank, we will definitely be able to gather a "Flower of Abundance Studio" to write in place of Ms. Werf! The task of this authentic "Flower of Abundance" is to list a Outline, and then the writers of 'Flower of Abundance Studio' continue to write the work according to the outline provided by her, isn't that all right?"

Belgrade squeezed his chin with his hands and said:
"In this way, Her Majesty can see the novel she has been thinking about. I have successfully completed the task. You, Frost Maple Ridge, have obtained the mage group, and Ms. Vilf can continue to enjoy herself... It feels good, but a group of ghostwriters , and not the authors of 'Flowers of Abundance', can the quality of what they write really be guaranteed?"

"Quantity instead of quality!" Xia Houyan said clearly, "In these days, no matter how the writing style is, as long as there are more updates every day, it is productivity. If the number of updates is small, won't readers abandon books and send blades? Zhihua himself supervises the quality of the results, Master Belgrade, I assure you, the daily output of our writer's studio in Frost Maple Ridge is enough for Her Majesty the Elf Queen to read from morning to night, how can she still be in the mood? How is the tube quality?"

Wilf exclaimed joyfully:

"That's a good idea! It just so happens that I have the beginnings and outlines of several books there, but I haven't started writing them yet!"

Belgrade pondered for a long time, and finally nodded slightly hesitantly:
"That's...very good. The 'Winter Embrace Pigeon' domesticated by our Elven Protectorate is an extremely easy-to-train and extremely fast messenger bird, which can be used to deliver manuscripts between Frost Maple Ridge and the Stardust Protectorate... ..."

Xia Houyan stared at Begrade and said:
"Master Belgrade, the key to this matter is not to let Her Majesty know that the article came from a ghostwriter's studio, so..."

Belgrade nodded and said:
"Don't worry, I understand. This is not only to win you a group of mages, but also to easily complete my own task: otherwise, if you don't nod, I will bring Miss Welf back to the protectorate It's a bit difficult—now, we're grasshoppers on a rope."

"Great! In order to thank you, I will ask someone to prepare a generous gift!" Xia Houyan patted Beigrad's shoulder affectionately, "Then, please stay in Shuangfengling for a few more days and wait for us Set up a studio and produce the first batch of manuscripts, and you can take them back to the Stardust Protectorate to return to your mission—as for the establishment of the winter grazing route and other things, we can talk about it later!"

Belgrade, who was finally able to complete the task, breathed a sigh of relief. Under the guidance of the recruits, he went to the guest house of Phoenix Terrace to rest, leaving behind a group of Shuangfengling scum, staring at the hall of Horned Eagle Manor. Small eyes.

"My lord, yes!" Cousins ​​applauded first, and seized the opportunity to flatter him, "Your studio's ghostwriting method is really good!"

Xia Houyan proudly said:

"Who still writes books by themselves now? That's rough work! Now we are all operating IP! As long as you have a well-known pseudonym, even if it is written by a studio, there will be a large number of readers chasing after it!"

Although everyone didn't understand what the "love fart" in the lord's mouth was, it sounded quite powerful.

Only Katerina has doubts:

"But Elliot, in this case, the ghostwriter really may not be able to write well... What if the writing is ruined as it is written?"

Xia Houyan suddenly rolled his eyes:
"Then write a new book and start over! These days, who is willing to finish the book honestly? The title of the book is as vulgar and eye-catching as possible, and the beginning is as explosive as possible. It can be withdrawn! Who cares about this thing as art, it’s all business!"

Everyone suddenly realized.

Master Laurie sighed in admiration:
"I can't see it, my lord. I didn't expect you to stay in the academy city for so long and know so much about the inside story of the empire's publishing industry! You didn't skip classes to read books at that time, did you?"

Xia Houyan shook his head with a wry smile, and waved his hand:

"For Art..."
