Otherworld Management Manual

Autumn leaves calendar, late April of the year.

The snow in the extreme north has melted, the rivers have begun to thaw, the most dangerous season of the year has finally passed, and the spring of hope is coming.

"Baron Norris, how long until we get there!"

On a fairly regular avenue, a group of caravan-like teams were heading north all the way.

In the carriage, several people dressed as nobles sat next to each other.

The speaker was a thin middle-aged man.

"Don't worry, Baron Johnson, it should be there soon."

Another middle-aged man with a vicissitudes face replied.

"Hey, you said that we are doing well here, why did His Majesty the King suddenly appoint a marquis? This extreme north is so poor, there is little oil and water, and the nobles here are not even as good as a merchant in other places! Another marquis After a wave of searches, it is estimated that we are not having a good time!"

Baron Johnson grimaced.

After receiving the news from Hongye City, he hasn't slept well for a day. It is already very difficult for him to survive in the extreme north. Compared with other places, the only advantage of this extreme north is that there is no one here. The great lord, not even the king, collects taxes. Although his life is not very good, he is very free.

However, if a baron really comes, or a marquis who owns the entire northern land as a fief, this northern land will become unfree!

Not to mention, if this Marquis searches for another layer in the extreme north...then he really has to consider whether he should stay here or not.

"How can you and I understand the thoughts of His Majesty the King? His Majesty the King naturally has his reasons, we just need to abide by it!"

Baron Norris said the righteousness with dignity, but he knew from the scowl on his face that he was also very sad.

"Hey? What kind of marquis are you talking about, isn't it fake?"

Baron Johnson asked suddenly, and without waiting for Baron Norris to speak, he directly analyzed it.

"Look, let's not say that there is no benefit for the other party to come to our extreme north, but the city he chose is very problematic. As we all know, the farther north the city is, the poorer it is. This so-called Lord Marquis, which city is not to choose? , I chose the most northern red leaf city! As long as the brain is not sick, it is impossible to choose this place! If it were you, would you choose it?"

"Of course I won't choose it. It seems to make sense when you say so..."

Baron Norris nodded.

"Then why don't we go back?"

asked Baron Johnson tentatively.

Although they are all in the extreme north, there are also grades in the extreme north. The location of Hongye City is the worst grade. The city here is not given to him!

"No, what if he is real? If we don't listen to the Lord's call, the consequences will be very serious! Besides, we've all come here, and it's not less than a day and a half!"

Baron Norris shook his head.

He didn't want to come, but he had to.

"What you said also makes sense, let's go and see. If it's true, let's stop talking, sneak away, and then go to the capital to report to the king! Maybe you can get a decent reward. !"

Baron Johnson said in a low voice.

"Well, just do as you said... Hey, look at that, is there also a team?"

Norris suddenly saw some figures in the distance, but his eyes were not very good and could not see clearly.

"It's the team, wait, why do I feel a little familiar... Garman City, that's Garman City's team!"

"They also went to Hongye City? Come, let's go there!"

Norris's team found others, and others naturally found him.

The two teams seem to have negotiated, and they have a tacit understanding.

"Hello Viscount Garhope, I'm Baron Norris, this is Baron Johnson, it's an honor to meet you here!"

Baron Norris stepped out of the carriage and said politely.

In the Garman team, Viscount Hope did not get out of the car, but just opened the window and looked at Baron Norris and the two. He nodded with undisguised disappointment on his face.

I thought I would meet an acquaintance or something, and I could inquire about the news, but these two little barons obviously didn't know much.

"Hello."

Before Norris could speak, Viscount Hope closed the window.

"..."

"..."

Seeing that Viscount Hope's team left first, Baron Johnson spat in disgust.

"Bah, I really think I'm a viscount! It's not like I'm nesting in the impoverished land of the extreme north!"

"Okay, everyone is gone, why don't you dare to speak to his face?"

Norris spoke mercilessly.

"..."

"It's normal for him to look down on us. Who made us a little baron! Let's go quickly, I hope to reach Hongye City before dark, otherwise it will be hard to sleep outside in such a cold day!"

"Well, let's go, let's go!"

The convoy walked for a while, and the two barons who were discussing countermeasures in the carriage suddenly received a report from their subordinates.

I saw Hongye City!

This gave both of them a sigh of relief.

Baron Johnson opened the window, looked at the city "not far away", and said with a smile:

"Regardless of whether this marquis is an adult or not, we have finally reached Hongye City! Let's speed up! I'm already hungry, I hope there is meat in the Hongye City tavern, and it would be better if there are vegetables!"

"Baron Johnson, I think you think too much. In such a remote place, it would be good to have brown bread. You can still eat meat? Not to mention the vegetables that are worth thousands of dollars now!"

The two chatted and laughed, thinking that they would be able to arrive at Hongye City soon.

But since I saw Hongye City, I have been walking for an hour, and the "not far" Hongye City is still "not far".

The two looked at each other with shock on their faces. They were not stupid, so it seemed that there was only one possibility.

"No, no, right? The city walls of Hongye City are so high?! How big must this Hongye City be!"

...

...

Like Norris, other people who came to Hongye City were also shocked, because the geographical location near Hongye City was relatively flat, there was no mountain to block, and Hongye City could be seen from far away, and there was no reference object. , so many people thought it was coming soon.

But as the saying goes, Wangshan is a dead horse.

Although Hongye City has not yet reached the level of a mountain, for these people, it is almost like a mountain.

After walking for a long time, I went all the way to the gate of Hongye City, and after Hongye City became bigger and bigger in my eyes, everyone was stunned, how could there be such a big city!

...

"No, it's impossible, right? How can there be such a big city!"

Viscount Robbins' face was full of disbelief, but all of this told him that Hongye City...is so big!

Standing under the city wall, you must tilt your head to 90 degrees to see the entire city wall.

There are more than 30 people in the convoy of Viscount Robbins, but standing under this city wall, no, standing under this city gate, it is like a little bug!

If it weren't for the three golden characters on the city gate that read Hongye City, he couldn't believe that such a huge city was actually in the extreme north!

"Lord Viscount, we..."

The knight under him swallowed subconsciously. As a knight, bravery is a must. But now looking at this huge city, looking at the gate like a monster's mouth, he didn't dare to go in!

He didn't understand, what kind of person could build such a big city!

He even said, can this city really be built by humans...

"What? Scared? Go knock on the door!"

After Viscount Robbins calmed down briefly, he ordered the knight.

He was actually a little cowardly in his heart, but as a viscount and a knight, he couldn't show his cowardice in front of his subordinates.

"Yes!"

The knight swallowed a mouthful of saliva, held the knight's sword nervously, and just took two steps forward——

rumbling~

That huge gate, higher than their city wall, opened!

choke~

The knight subconsciously pulled out the matching sword and looked nervously at the dark doorway.

brush!

The torches in the doorway burned one by one, slowly illuminating the entire doorway, and at the same time allowing Viscount Robbins and the others to see what was inside.

scare!

Both Viscount Robbins and the knight took a step back subconsciously, with a hint of panic on their faces.

They are all like this, not to mention the soldiers. If Viscount Robbins is not well trained, it is estimated that they would have thrown their weapons and ran away!

sky!

What's this!

"Don't be afraid, we are the wolf cavalry of Hongye City, welcome to Hongye City!"

One of the figures, riding a three- or four-meter-tall gray giant wolf, said.

Only then did Viscount Robbins and the others discover that there were people on this terrifying giant wolf!

Hearing that the other party said it was the wolf cavalry of Hongye City, Viscount Robbins believed it - he couldn't believe it!

This wolf cavalryman, dressed in exquisite armor, was tightly wrapped, with only two eyes outside—no, not even eyes, what was on that helmet? crystal?

But it doesn't matter, Viscount Robbins just brushed it off. What matters is the three- or four-meter-high giant wolf under their crotch!

The important parts of the giant wolf's body are also wearing exquisite armor, the fangs in the **** mouth, and the bloodthirsty eyes, Viscount Robbins just glanced at it, and his heart was chilled.

He didn't know whether his knights could defeat the giant wolf, but he knew that if the other six wolf cavalrymen went together, the thirty or so of himself might have to explain it here.

The other party and these people came to Hongye City, and they were seen by the glasses for a long time. After all, they met for the first time. In order to show their sincerity, Zhang Feng sent someone to greet them.

Considering that these people's hearts may be relatively fragile, Zhang Feng did not let the orcs greet him, otherwise if he was scared, he would be in trouble.

So Zhang Feng sent the wolf cavalry.

But now it seems that this wolf cavalry still frightens Viscount Robbins.

"Hello, hello!"

Robbins was a knight after all, and he quickly calmed down.

With a stiff smile on his face, he said hello.

"Please come with me, everyone."

The wolf cavalry didn't talk nonsense either, he slapped the giant wolf directly.

brush!

Everyone felt a gust of wind blowing, and some could not open their eyes. When they saw it again, only the back of the giant wolf was left.

"Quick, quick, keep up!"

Viscount Robbins let out a loud roar, and everyone woke up and quickly followed the wolf cavalry to trot over.

After walking through this lengthy doorway, the sight suddenly became clear.

A house even taller and bigger than their City Lord's Mansion!

A smooth, clean ground as hard as a stone!

A wide avenue that allows ten carriages to travel side by side at the same time!

A peculiar and beautifully dressed commoner!

From time to time there is a strange white gas in the sky!

...

Robbins and everyone were stunned.

It is also a city in the extreme north, why is the style of painting different?

When the commoners in Hongye City saw guests coming, they looked at them all curiously. Robbins was suddenly embarrassed. He took back his shocked eyes and pretended to be "that's all". The more this happened, the more amused those civilians felt.

Robbins felt embarrassed, but fortunately, these civilians just smiled and left in the distance, and nothing embarrassing happened.

"It actually made a commoner laugh at it!"

Robbins felt a little helpless.

bang bang bang bang~

A sudden noise brought Robbins back to his senses. He saw a black car with many wheels coming from not far away.

This car is a bit similar to the red leaf city messenger's car he has seen before, but it is taller, bigger and longer. .

The car stopped at a "small house" without walls, and people got off and got on.

bang bang bang bang~

The car went away again.

"Sir, does this car seem to be able to ride?"

The subordinate opened his mouth curiously.

"It should be... don't think too much, hurry up and keep up, see the Lord Marquis first!"

Robbins gave a lesson, and then asked everyone to keep up with the wolf cavalry who were waiting for them in front, but Robbins couldn't take his eyes back from the steam car that had gone away.

...

...

"Lord City Lord, many lords have already arrived."

Erica handed Zhang Feng a list.

Zhang Feng looked at it and nodded.

"Well, it seems to be quite obedient!"

"That's not because the Lord of the City is famous! No one dares not to obey your orders!"

Erica said respectfully.

"You...you're not too distracted!"

Zhang Feng angrily tapped her little head.

"Hehe~"

Then he asked:

"Have you arranged everyone?"

"Don't worry, Lord City Lord, they have already been concentrated in the Hongye Hospitality Hotel. However, in addition to these lords, there are also some nobles and businessmen who have no fiefs, and they also came to our Hongye City. Do we need to take care of these people? ?"

Erica asked.

"That's not necessary. Those who came by themselves without notice, there is no need to give them these benefits. We have not had any customers in Hongye City for so long, so we have to make some money anyway!"

"Yes! And our soldiers are all ready, and the artillery you developed can be put into battle at any time. When will we attack Yunhai City?"

"Since you want to kill chickens, how can you do it without monkeys!"

Zhang Feng said with a smile.

"Ah, what chicken and what monkey?"

Erica didn't understand.

Zhang Feng smiled without explaining too much. He thought about it and said:

"Get the soldiers ready and set off in three days."

"Yes!"

...

...

Time flies like water, three days later.

That is, on January 30th of the Hongye Calendar, all the people Zhang Feng notified before, except for Yunhai City, basically came, which is enough to give Zhang Feng face.

Hongye Hospitality Hotel.

This is a six-story building that Zhang Feng used exclusively for official reception.

Only people with serious status, such as nobles, lords, etc., can check in and do not charge any fees, but the luxury level is much worse than that of Hongye Hotel, and it can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

However, as long as you have money, you can live in the Hongye Hotel, while the Hongye Hospitality Hotel may not be able to live if you have money. Both parties have their own advantages.

Those lords were arranged by Zhang Feng at the Hongye Hospitality Hotel.

Of course, for Zhang Feng, this is not a luxurious and decent hotel, but for those who come here for the first time, it is simply paradise!

Even many people have been in the hotel for three days.

Because the free food here is really delicious!

But today, they have to come out if they don't want to, because the order of the Marquis is coming!

At this time, no one will doubt Zhang Feng's identity as a marquis.

"Good morning, Viscount Kitts!"

"Morning Viscount Robbins!"

"..."

After a delicious breakfast, the group came to the City Lord's Mansion together.

On the way, they saw those strange orcs. Even if it was not the first time they saw them, they still had a strong sense of novelty.

"I didn't expect that there are still orcs living in Hongye City! And they can coexist peacefully with humans. It's really... interesting!"

"The first time I saw these orcs, I was shocked... I heard that these orcs have good personalities, but I dare not touch them..."

"But looking at their size, they must work hard!"

"In terms of work, I think the steam engine is still powerful, but the Marquis's steam engine is not allowed to be visited, and I can only see it from a distance..."

Everyone was talking a lot, and when they came to the city lord's mansion, the voice of the discussion gradually became quieter and quieter.

The City Lord's Mansion in Hongye City is very big and beautiful, they know it, but because there are always soldiers patrolling here, no one is allowed to approach it, and they can only watch it from a distance.

Today, it was actually the first time they had observed the City Lord's Mansion so closely.

Everyone was amazed.

Is this the City Lord's Mansion?

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a palace!

However, Hongye City is so big, and there is a palace in it that does not violate the harmony at all. On the contrary, it is such a delicate and beautiful palace, which has improved the grade of Hongye City a lot.

Under the leadership of the soldiers, a group of people entered the palace like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden.

"Wow! This, these are all crystal lamps!"

"This roof is so beautiful!"

"Look at the ground, is this a golden brick?"

Everyone is already restraining, but this is really unbearable!

"Even the palace is probably nothing more than that!"

"No, you're wrong. This Viscount was fortunate enough to have been to the palace once. Compared with the Marquis's place, it is simply p...ahem, it can't be compared anyway!"

"I'm really envious, I really want to wake up and see such a glorious picture..."

"..."

"Lord City Lord, everyone brought it."

Everyone chatted in a low voice along the way, and when they heard the soldier's announcement, they quickly raised their heads and saw a handsome young man in a black dress sitting on a seat made of pure gold and crystal in front of him.

He was in a lazy posture, resting his chin with one hand, and looked at everyone with interest.

"very young!"

Some male nobles were surprised and said that they thought that the Marquis should be an old man, and he would have to be a middle-aged man after 10,000 steps. After all, this is a Marquis. If you go one step further, that is the highest status that a noble can reach!

"so beautiful!"

As for the few female nobles, the first thing they noticed was Zhang Feng's good looks, and even their eyes lit up!

"Welcome everyone, I'm Zhang Feng."

Zhang Feng smiled and said hello.

"I have seen Marquis Zhang Feng!"

The crowd responded quickly.

"No gift. You have eaten in Hongye City these two days, are you still used to your stay?"

Zhang Feng asked with concern.

Seeing that the Marquis was so approachable, everyone suddenly spoke in a fuss.

"Reporting to the Marquis, the place you arranged is the most comfortable place I have ever lived in in my life, and it is even more comfortable than my City Lord's Mansion!"

"That's right, compared to this place, my City Lord's Mansion is not even a kennel!"

"And the food here is really delicious! Although I have never eaten the food in the palace, I feel that the food in the palace is just like that!"

"This Viscount is fortunate to have eaten the delicacies of the palace. I can only say that compared with the Lord Marquis, the delicacies in the palace are simply a lump...cough."

Perhaps because of the remoteness here, these nobles do not respect the king as much as Zhang Feng imagined, and have been belittling the capital to flatter Zhang Feng.

Of course, disrespect is disrespectful, you should listen or you have to listen.

"I'm relieved to see that you are not feeling any discomfort."

Zhang Feng smiled again, his sunny smile made people feel like a spring breeze.

"Where, the Marquis is polite!"

"Thank you, Lord Marquis!"

"..."

The crowd complimented again.

Zhang Feng accepted everything with a smile. After everyone finished speaking, Zhang Feng stood up from his chair, walked in front of everyone, and said with a smile:

"But some people don't obey my orders, what do you say?"

As soon as he said this, the scene fell silent in an instant.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and I hesitate, this...it's not easy to answer! They are not stupid. They saw that the people from Yunhai City were not here at a glance, but where is Yunhai City? They are all a group of desperadoes who want money and don't want to die. They don't want to cause trouble!

"I think, this kind of person, this kind of force, there is no need to exist, what do you think?"

Everyone remained silent, even bowing their heads.

At this time, they also came to the recollection, this new Marquis Lord ~www.readwn.com~ seems to be powerful!

"What, did you not hear what I said, or did you pretend not to hear? Huh?"

Zhang Feng looked at the crowd with some doubts, his tone was not right, but everyone felt that the cold sweat was breaking down.

"Lord Marquis, according to the laws of the kingdom, those who do not obey the orders of their immediate lords should be punished!"

Robbins gritted his teeth.

He didn't want to say such offending words, but he had to say that the knight's sixth sense told him that the Lord Marquis in front of him was terrible! If no one answers, they may have no good fruit to eat.

"Yes, the kingdom has this law, so... is anyone willing to share my worries?"

As soon as Zhang Feng's words came out, everyone complained even more. This was to stand in the team and to vote for the name!

On the one hand, Lord Marquis, who seemed to be very capable, but contacted for the first time;

How to choose?
