Wizard: I crush the legend with my martial arts

Chapter 56 An excuse to deliver to the door
  "Then this year's taxes will be waived. It's a benefit for my new lord to give to my people." Alphonse had just received a large sum of money, and he really didn't care about this little money.

"On behalf of the people, I would like to thank the lord for his kindness!"

Captain Simon laughed happily. He was actually a little worried that Alphonse would raise taxes. When Alphonse said this, he felt relieved.

"Lord, you have found a mine, and you will be able to provide more job opportunities for the people in the future. I believe that under your leadership, the lives of the people will get better and better."

"There's no need to say flattery." Alphonse waved his hand and suddenly noticed something strange on the river in the distance.

Upstream, sewage of various colors, red, blue, and black, flowed down the river, making the entire river a mess.

This is within the scope of our own territory!
  Who dares to pollute my river water?

"What's going on?" Alphonse raised his hand and pointed.

"That's because the dyeing shop next door is discharging wastewater. It happens for a period of time every day." Simon replied.

"Just let them pollute the rivers here?" Alfons was immediately displeased. "Then wouldn't there be problems with the water supply for the residents in our territory?"

"There is no way. The dyeing mill is the property of Baron Aldrich, and it has always discharged in this way." Simon explained, "There are wells in the territory, and the people's domestic water is not a problem. The old lord once went to protest, and later there was no problem. It’s over.”

"No! This is a big problem!" A cold smile appeared on Alphonse's face.

When he first traveled through time, it was Baron Aldrich's son, Kay Berry, who was causing trouble for him, engaging in some kind of honor duel.

Although he had defeated Kay Berry, his provocation was not over yet.

It's not Alphonse's style to swallow his anger.

That is to say, I have never had time to pay attention to the leader next door. Isn't this an excuse to send it to my door?

Simon was stunned, "Lord, how do you plan to solve it? Go to Baron Aldrich to protest?"

"I will handle it, you don't have to worry about it." Alphonse didn't want to bring Simon with him, but Mia, the strongest force in the Cold Wind Territory, had to be brought with him.

Back at the castle, Alphonse handed the wooden doll to Simon and told him to find Djeru and Tessie and memorize the markings on it together.

He himself ran excitedly to find Mia.

This time, she was not found in her mother's room.

After asking, I found out that Mia was in the warehouse.

The warehouse of the Lord's Mansion is in the cellar, and Alphonse still knows where it is.

Walking down the stairs, I saw the heavy iron door closed tightly.

Alphonse reached out and opened the iron door.

There are three candles burning on the candlestick in the storeroom.

The weak candlelight flickered on the wall, outlining a hazy yellow.

Mia squatted on the ground, using the light of candlelight to count the gold coins she had robbed last night.

Beside her were papers, ink and a quill.

A string of characters has been written on the paper.

Hearing the "squeak" sound of the door opening, Mia raised her head and glanced up. Seeing that it was Alphonse, she lowered her head again, "I haven't finished ordering yet. I will report to you when I finish ordering."

She still seemed to know how to do it, and the gold coins were arranged into a pile of ten and neatly placed together.

"Have you been busy with this all morning?" Alphonse asked.

"Yeah." Mia responded without raising her head, and said impatiently, "Don't make trouble if you have nothing to do."

Alphonse has discovered that writing in this world is not very convenient to record. Maybe he should teach Miya what Arabic numerals are.

But that's not why I came here.

"Stop it and come with me to make trouble for someone!" "Where can I make trouble for someone?" Mia was stunned.

"Come with me and you will know." Alphonse pulled Mia up and started to walk out.

Mia shook off Alphonse's hand and frowned. Although she was a little dissatisfied, she still picked up the candlestick and followed Alphonse out of the warehouse.

Five-color flower collar.

Outside the house of Lord Baron Aldrich.

Alphonse jumped off his horse and tied the horse's reins to a tree.

He smacked his lips as he looked at the magnificent castle in front of him.

Compared with his own castle that has weathered the weather for a long time, Baron Aldrich's castle is much better. It looks like it has been renovated.

He is definitely rich!
  Alphonse did not hesitate, and strode over with Mia, who was still confused.

"Who are you, Your Excellency? Are you looking for the Lord?"

The guard guarding the door obviously didn't know Alphonse, but seeing that he didn't dress like an ordinary civilian, he didn't dare to offend him easily.

"I am the lord of the Cold Wind Territory, Baron Tartarus. I am here to visit my neighbor. Where is Baron Aldrich?" Alphonse smiled and said.

The guard was stunned, and his expression suddenly became a little complicated, "Your Excellency, Baron, please wait here for a while, I will report to the lord."

"As long as he's here, there's no need to report. I'll go find him myself." Alphonse walked straight in.

The expressions of the two guards changed, and they immediately wanted to stop him, but at this moment, they felt a heavy pressure coming down, making them feel cold all over.

In a daze, Alphonse walked through the door.

Miya's face was as cold as frost, she glanced at the two of them, and followed them in.

She was naturally the one to take action, and she had already restrained the two of them with the pressure of her fighting spirit.

Although she felt that doing so was wrong and it was against the noble law, but Alphonse wanted to break in, and as a decorated knight of the Cold Wind Territory, she could only help him.

She still knew exactly which side to stand on.

At least, you shouldn’t question Alphonse’s decision at this time.

The two soldiers were trembling uncontrollably, breaking out in cold sweat and unable to speak.

At that moment, I actually had the illusion that I was facing an extremely ferocious beast.

Deep in the corridor, an old man dressed as a housekeeper walked towards him.

Alphonse raised his hand and said hello casually, "Hey, butler, where is Baron Aldrich?"

The butler was stunned when asked, "Lord, wait in the study! Who are you?"

"I am the lord of the Cold Wind Territory, and I came to visit him. The study is over there, right?" Alphonse pointed forward. The layout of the castle looked similar, so he thought the study was in that direction.

"Yes, but you can't just barge in like this without notifying me!" The butler was already confused by Alphonse's familiarity, but he still remembered his responsibilities and said loudly.

How could he not know the relationship between the cold wind collar and the five-color flower collar.

They had no contact with each other. Not long ago, Alphonse knocked out the young master in a duel. If he brought someone in like this, nothing good could happen.

"That's fine, don't block the way." Alphonse pushed him away with one hand.

The housekeeper staggered and stumbled to the side. He suddenly became anxious and said, "You can't break in! Guards! Guards!"

"Why are you making such a fuss?" Kayberry rushed out of a room and scolded loudly.
