Dimensional Apartment Manager

Kurumi continued to talk without being distracted by Jiuye, and took the roasted rabbit meat from Jiuye.

"It tastes good, so what do you think of Jiuye? Can they be trusted?"

"They are not loyal to me but to the emperor, and the reason for obeying my order is just this parchment; I will not trust them, but I will not doubt them too much, but once it threatens our safety, I have to do it What's up?"

"The young knights who showed me kindness just now are trustworthy. They said that your title of 'Dragon Slayer' was not a lie."

"Because the dragon meat was sold in Italica, the merchants there must have brought the news to the imperial capital, although many people would not choose to believe it."

"I'll go talk to them, it's going to be boring talking to you all the time."

That's right...

The knights seem to welcome Kuang San very much, after all, most of the men rushing to the battlefield are looking forward to the existence of Ruanxiang.

"Don't be jealous, our chat will start late at night~"

"I'm not jealous."

Jiu Ye drank the wine and looked up at the starry sky above, the moonlight was beautiful.

----

A caravan joined Jiuye's team.

Occasionally, there will be such a situation, for example, when the king leaves the imperial capital to go to a certain castle, the merchants will follow far behind, so as to obtain protection and not worry about being attacked by thieves.

The current situation is also the same. Facing a cavalier team of nearly 50 people, a caravan asked to go forward together, but Jiuye didn't care and let them follow behind the team.

The carriage compartment is now closed, and Jiuye is standing on the roof to observe the situation. Another reason is that Kuang San inside is changing clothes. After all, the clothes were dirty last night... the wine and other things are dirty. ...

Girls change their clothes a lot. Jiuye usually changes them every three days. After all, she doesn't have a cleanliness habit, so she changes when she feels dirty.

Fortunately, this world is not like the old Europe. At that time, people thought that taking a bath would lower immunity and make them more susceptible to virus infection; in fact, it was just a wrong instruction from quack doctors and churches, who naively believed that 'dirty' could block deadly germs.

"Report, sir, there is a village one kilometer ahead!"

"Okay, let's send someone to look there. By the way, ask the merchants where they plan to go. It would be best if they can provide enough information."

"Do it now!"

The knight drove his horse and ran towards the rear, and then a team of ten knights set off first to check the situation in the village.

After a while, an uncle with bare arms rode to the side of Jiuye from the caravan behind, nodded and saluted, and said loudly

"We're going to Italica! I heard that it was attacked by thieves composed of the remnants of the kingdoms. I didn't think about approaching it for a while, so I waited until it was stable now."

"How about the village ahead? You must have investigated it?"

"Oh, we have been to that village several times. Their main industry is textiles, but they have also been ravaged by black dragons... I heard that there are not many casualties, but most of the crops on the fields are gone. It is estimated that soon It's going to be a ghost village."

"Does anyone mean?"

"Yes, the scorched land should have become fertile. As a farmer, I used to cut and burn logs to make plant ash for fertilization. The problem is that the disaster of dragons and the threat of thieves make no one dare to stay nearby."

No wonder their caravan would ask to join the knight order, not only afraid of thieves, but also afraid of dragons.

"I heard that Your Excellency is the 'Dragon Slayer'. I was surprised. I didn't expect to see a legendary figure here."

"It's just luck."

Seeing the businessman examining himself, Jiuye was probably thinking 'This man, who is not considered strong, can't knock down the dragon at all'.

The curtains of the carriage were opened, and Kuangsan, who had changed his clothes, exposed half of his body from inside, pointing to the bamboo basket at the businessman's waist.

"Is that a cherry?"

"Yes, this is an extra copy, so give it to this beautiful young lady."

"Thank you, if you have any questions, just ask Jiuye."

Jiu Ye, who was dubbed responsible, shrugged helplessly, and Kurumi was really "generous" in transferring favors.

The businessman gave another basket of cherries to Kuang San and then drove away. Jiu Ye bent down to remind Kuang San in the carriage.

"There may be troubles in the future, please be prepared."

There is no doubt that no one's place can easily become a base for thieves.

"Let's eat one."

"So sweet..."

Jiu Ye chewed the cherries that Kuang San fed into his mouth, and said softly.

----

There is indeed no one in the village, and some houses still have burnt marks. It seems that the original residents gave up the idea of ​​rebuilding after being attacked by the dragon.

Under Jiuye's order, the knights began to search from house to house to find out the thieves who might be hiding in the dark.

If it was an ownerless knight who was homeless due to the death of the lord, it should have appeared by this time.

Kicking open a door, the knight holding a long sword carefully searched everywhere in the room, such as the cabinet, under the bed, and the backyard are the key places to check.

bang! !The broken gate was knocked flying, and a guy covered his face with a cloth rushed out of a house. He had no intention of fighting, but ran towards the nearest mountain forest.

He was very fast, but he was not as fast as a knight on horseback. He was quickly caught and had to throw away his weapon and catch him without a fight.

"There are others!!!"

A knight entered the place where the thief had escaped just now, and found three children in ragged clothes. It was not known whether they were boys or girls because of their dirty appearance.

"You caught them?"

The knights caught the thieves who were trying to escape in front of Jiuye, and at the same time kindly covered the three children with clothes.

Hearing Jiuye's question on the roof, the thief with his face full of wounds snorted and didn't answer.

"Chop off a finger."

"Wait! Wait! I didn't touch them! I just plan to sell them as slaves!"

"Oh? Who are you? Where are your companions?"

"My hometown is in the Elbe feudal kingdom. I escaped after failing to attack Italica. The rest of the people want to attack again, but I don't want to continue doing those stupid things."

"Do you still know it's stupid? It means that there is a group of thieves who want to attack Italika now?"

The thieves nodded, looking at the direction the convoy was heading.

"They set off last night, and it is estimated that they will arrive in four days, that's all I know..."

Probably because he wanted to save his life, the thief said it in detail.

So Jiuye turned to look at the three children.

"What do you want to do with this guy?"

The three children looked at each other, and the older child pointed to the thief and said

"Don't give him food! As for water... just give him a little bit!"

The innocent child did not have the idea of ​​'killing', and Jiu Ye did not intend to execute in front of them.

Waving his hand, Jiu Ye signaled the knights to imprison the thieves. Since they didn't have a cage, they had to let the thieves stay in the chicken cages of the merchants.

During the period, when passing by a river, the three children went to take a bath, and only then did they find out their genders, which were two girls and one boy.

"What are you going to do with them? My lord, I'm not very good at taking care of children."

"Don't say that, Miss Crazy Third."

The children stayed in the carriage, and Jiuye on the horse thought for a while.

"Put them in my Chamber of Commerce in Italica."

To be precise, it is the chamber of commerce established by the people of Jiuye, and it is not bad for children to be apprentices there.

Then it's time to play the hero and save Italica again!

"Is Big Brother a hero?"

"He's a dragon slayer."

"Dragon Slayer? I know, I heard that Dragon Slayer has a lot of lovely beast-ear girls by his side!"

"That's right, dragon slayers love animal ears the most."

The little ghost and Kuangsan started interacting just now, but Jiu Ye pretended not to hear it.At that time, it was not my fault that I brought the beast ear girl to overthrow the dragon. I didn't expect it to be spread by the people...

The coincidence of all this can be said to be very funny.

"In this way, I seem to remember that Jiuye has a lot of books about animal ear loli in your room."

"There's no such thing."

"I seem to have seen a book with a cover similar to mine."

"Huh?!?! Kekekekekekekekeke...!!!!"

Let's clean up the room after we go back, Jiuye has made a decision and intends to end this commission as soon as possible.

Chapter 65 New FLAG?People doing things...

Italica, which has been in charge of the Earl of Vermar's family for generations, has developed rapidly as a trading city. Even though it was attacked by thieves turned from remnants of the United Army not long ago, the reconstruction work was completed in a short period of time.

The city gates that have been repaired hard have been reinforced, and three or four watchtowers have been added to assist in the defense, to guard against enemies that may appear at any time.

Soldiers and knights patrolling the city walls with torches passed by, and guards with bows and crossbows were occasionally attracted by nocturnal animals.

Jiu Ye, who came to Italica, led the knights directly to the lord's mansion, and after handing over the letter of appointment with the emperor's will to Lord Lori, Jiu Ye officially settled in Italica as a prosecutor.

He ordered the knights to send the children rescued on the road to the designated chamber of commerce, and then Jiuye locked the captured thieves in the prison under the name of Lord Lori.

In the lord's mansion, there is a balcony on the right side of the meeting hall, and Jiuye is currently staying on the balcony looking at the city wall immersed in the night.

The street scene in the middle ages is like a real movie lens, with beating workshops and never-stop looms; in this ancient space made of stones, houses that cannot be called tall are somewhat vicissitudes; and near the mansion There is a cylindrical tower castle with a battlement-like stone wall on the top of the tower, forming a very striking silhouette under the moonlight and lamplight.

A city full of vitality, a city that has never been quiet, even if life has many unsatisfactory things, it is still working hard.

The moving lights are patrolling knights and late returning mercenaries, and occasionally a businessman driving a carriage. I don’t know if there is a cute wolf that is regarded as a god in the cargo box.

At this time, the loli lord named Miyu Vermar walked up to Jiuye with a puzzled expression, and asked in a low voice

"Excuse me, His Excellency Jiuye, what are you looking at? There are no criminals in Italika now."

Mamina among the Asian maids covered Miu with a blanket at this time, for fear that she would catch cold in the cold night wind.

"Don't worry, Miyu-chan. Although there are still a group of remnants of thieves who survived the disaster recently, they are unlikely to threaten the safety of this town; the north gate and the south gate are guarded by my knights, and I will also regularly search nearby Whether there is a bandit stronghold in the forest, it can be guaranteed to be safe."

"Thank you for your help. Italica did not fall into the hands of thieves last time thanks to Your Excellency Jiuye and Her Royal Highness Princess Pingna."

"It's just a little effort, that's right... Miyu, can you ask Head Maid Kaimei to show me the latest bills and the tax returns submitted by the chamber of commerce? As a prosecutor, you must first Just figure out the basics."

Kaimei is usually the one who takes care of all the big and small affairs in the family, and she is a heroine who can solve even the under-the-table solutions.She was born in a place that was captured by the empire 30 years ago and is a believer in Gomorrah.

The most important thing is that she is extremely loyal to Miyu, the head of Count Vermar's family, and she believes that she has a detailed understanding of various things and information.

"No problem, I'll go and ask Miss Kaimei later, it's late now, please go to bed early."

"It doesn't matter to me. After all, Miss Kuang San took care of the child along the way, and she has already gone to bed."

At this time, Miyu took a cup of hot tea from the maid and carefully handed it to Jiuye.

"Your Excellency Jiuye, please use it to warm up your body, it's a bit cold today."

"Thank you very much for your concern."

After Jiu Ye took the hot tea, he gently rubbed Miyu's head, only to hear a 'tsk' sound, probably from the maids.

Although Lord Lori is still young, Miyu needs to learn something slowly every day to prepare for governing the territory in the future, so she usually goes to bed early; now she is just like other children, with drooping eyelids and very sleepy. The small body was shaky, and he yawned from time to time, and when he realized it, he covered his mouth with his face flushed.

"Master Miyu, it's getting late, I'll take you back to your room."

"Excuse me, good night, Your Excellency Jiuye."

Seeing the human maid named Mam take Miyu away, Jiuye didn't have the idea of ​​staying on the balcony, anyway, everything that should be said has been said.

Leaving the conference hall and walking towards his room, Jiuye changed his mind on the way, and planned to go to see Kurumi first to confirm that there is no problem with her.

As soon as the door was closed, Jiuye felt the breath suddenly appearing behind him.

The maids lurking in the dark came out together, Jiuye let go of the doorknob in a hurry, and turned to look at the demi-human maid of Earl Vermar's house.

Rabbit ears, cat ears, and snake hair are cute, but their expressions are not friendly, as if they came to say hello.
