Writing novels in a different world can really find a wife

However, due to the compromise plan discussed with the Lion King, the land awarded to Cook was transferred from Zelda's assets to... Longkou Canyon.

"Longkou Canyon? That ambush poisonous tarantula? Longkou Canyon haunted by monsters?"

............

Dragon's Mouth Canyon is located slightly north of the Plains of the Wailers.

Right in the middle of Dalabangba and Alcoron.

It extends from the border between Dalabangba and Alcoron towards the opposite country.Longkou Valley is almost on the center line of the extension line between the two countries.

Because it is on the center line, it is equally far from both countries.If Cook is placed here, no matter whether it is the Lion King or the Wise King, they will not be able to take advantage of Cook, nor will they be disadvantaged.Anyone who wants to see Cook has to spend the same troublesome effort.

This is where real fairness can be achieved.

This is indeed a 'compromise' way.

Exactly, it's a 'compromise' you can't fault

But look, it just makes my stomach hurt for some reason.

By the way, it was just like the feeling when Lilith said she was 'gifted' to Cook.It makes people feel as if they have been hit with a mallet and are about to faint.

I really want to complain, people like the royal family don't understand that the words "compromise" and "send" refer to other meanings?Why do you have to interpret these words literally, and do something that completely matches the literal meaning of the words?Who would have guessed that they literally meant what they said!

Once Cook gets involved with members of the royal family, his blood pressure will rise uncontrollably.Cook felt that this problem of his might become a habit.

Lilith listened to Cook's complaints to the Xian King, but instead raised her fingers to explain with a proud expression.

"People in our royal family 'talk what they say'. It is the pride of the royal family to make no mistakes at all."

I really want to say, how can I have such arrogance.Basically, it will only cause trouble for others.

The topic returns to the land awarded to Cook.

Speaking of which, that is Longkou Valley.

Leaving aside the fact that it is a land that neither belongs to Alcoron nor Dalabonba.It is truly a land of no man.

Not only is the terrain dangerous, but there are also monsters haunting it.

It's still so close to the Plains of the Wailers.

The Plains of the Weepers is the home of the ritual war.How many heroic spirits who died in battle are buried in that land?How much blood has been soaked?

Legend has it that as long as there is thunder and rain, there will be howls of restless souls.This is also the origin of the ominous name of 'The Plains of Weepers'.

Just thinking about it is enough to make people shudder.

Longkou Canyon is also the place where his group ambushed the poisonous tarantula.

Had super bad memories.

These two kings actually rewarded Cook with a slap on their thighs?In terms of the past life, this is a haunted house, no, a haunted place.

The letter also conveyed a joke from the Lion King.

"It's good to put Cook between the two countries. If any country is not happy with the alliance, kill Cook before killing the opposite side. Cook is stuck in the middle of us and can be used as a punching bag. Hahaha. If Cook’s novels don’t satisfy me, I’ll bring someone to kill them.”

My own reward...... I got stuck in an awkward position.There is a feeling of being in a dilemma among the big guys.

Such a joke.Can't laugh at all.

I became more and more uneasy about this reward.

However, what King Xian said later changed Cook's attitude 180 degrees.

There is still a follow-up to the discussion between King Xian and the Lion King.

Because Longkou Valley does not belong to Dalabang nor Alcoron, but the land between the two countries.So unlike the original Zelda holdings, it has complete supporting facilities.

ps: Tired into a ball.Just had time to drink some water today.

Chapter 381: Big Landlord

Although the truce between the two countries has made this land less dangerous, it has the possibility of development.But Longkou Valley is still a land of no owner.Just like what Cook was worried about just now, let alone cities and villages, there is no arable land on this land, let alone residents, and it is completely undeveloped.

It is difficult to live here, let alone run the place.

If you leave this kind of Longkou Valley to Cook who does nothing.It's more of a tease for Cook than a reward.It's a prank.

With Cook's strength, there is no way to transform that land alone.

Even if such Cook accepts the land, he just accepts a piece of hot potato that cannot be realized into value.

Owning a titular land, Earl Cook must be the biggest joke in both countries...

Cook is going to be angry.

With a hot head, it is possible to make shameless novelist blackening behaviors such as "breaking the update" and "abandoning the pit".

Taking into account Cook's mood, it is certainly impossible for the Wise King and the Lion King to just hand over the land to Cook without doing anything.

Those two are strong men with far-sightedness, and they are the ones who initiated and promoted this reward, and they are naturally responsible.The sage king and the lion king want to reward Cook with Longkou Valley, and they have to do a lot of work to get things thoughtful and proper.

"Hey, stinky wolf. As expected of you. Your brain turns so fast. Doesn't this kill two birds with one stone?"

"Hmph. Of course. My reputation as a virtuous wolf is not for nothing. In this case... Make something conspicuous, something that has never been done before, that can become a topic, and the two countries will work together to achieve the final result. There are big things that can show the strength of the alliance. There is also a reward for Cook. It can also put him in the 'middle' (physical explanation) position, which is fair to both sides. It's not killing two birds with one stone, it's killing two birds with one stone Oh three times."

"Haha. Unprecedented rewards coupled with unprecedented arrangements? It's a break from the norm... It's really good. This is super in line with the theme of showing new changes after the alliance. I'm also excited."

"This is to match your image. If things are done well, and you do another major event that no one has done before, your image as the Lion King will become taller again."

"The same goes for you. Hey, it's like I'm the only one who gets the benefit of the doubt."

Cook's reward is inexplicably linked to such major events as the face of the two countries and the display of a new atmosphere after the alliance.

Therefore, the land was awarded to Cook, and by the way, to show the strong strength and tacit cooperation between the two countries after the alliance, the Wise King and the Lion King decided to jointly contribute funds.

The two countries each contributed half of the funds and sent the best craftsmen from each country to complete this unprecedented city, which was not built within the borders of any country, but between the two countries.

When he heard that it was the wise king and the lion king who paid the money, Cook's heart was half relieved.

And then, the good things don't stop there.

Because this city is neither in the territory of Alcoron nor in the territory of Dalabangba, both countries have only half of the ruling power over the city.

Considering that dual management will bring a lot of trouble, Shuangwang took a different approach and tentatively adopted a brand-new city operation method.

"Anyway, it's a brand new city that has never been seen before. Even if it adopts a new management method, it will be fine."

"I also agree. For major matters, no matter which country's leader issues an order, the lord must obey the order. Forget about minor matters, running back and forth is too troublesome. The daily administration of each other's countries is still only carried out by the original political composition. Here Let Cook do it himself without violating the 'big principle'. Let's test the results."

"Well. You must also be loyal to Alcoron and Dalabon at the same time. Loyalty is absolute. If you give him too much freedom, but let him cause trouble against us, it means that the big event we planned has failed. Then No face left."

"At this point, Cook is fine."

"Well, that guy came to me to reason about Alcoron. His loyalty is absolutely fine."

"Don't worry. This plan is based on the fact that the rewardee is Cook."

Shuangwang's decision is to hand over most of the management rights of this future city to Cook himself, and will no longer be strictly controlled like other cities.

Except for very important events such as large-scale battles or national issues, it is necessary to fulfill the lord's obligation to run on both sides and obey the decisions of the rulers of various countries.

Most of the other day-to-day administrative work of the state is not involved.

In the words of Cook's previous life, this is 'regional autonomy'.

With such a system, Cook's most hated contact with the political circle is much less.The chance of getting involved in the political vortex is also greatly reduced.After becoming a nobleman, the responsibilities to bear are also reduced.

This, this is super exciting news for Cook.

Except for administrative freedom.

The tax will be exempted for three years at the beginning, and then the tax point will be set according to the average tax rate of Alcoron and Dalabun. Half of the total tax will go to Alcoron and half to Dalabun.

You don’t need to pay for construction yourself, you have independent operating rights, less trouble, and not much burden.

Everything you want is here, and nothing you don't want... I really don't know what reward is better than this.

And this land, even the land of Zelda has been eclipsed.

This Longgukou, which was not expected at first, turned into a fragrant steamed bun in an instant.

If you want to save face and drag off the reward at this time, you will be a fool.

Cook, but he likes things of value the most.

"I want this."

Excited, Cook hugged Shaxi and Lilith in circles.

............

In addition to land, there were two other rewards as a reward for the king's gratitude to Cook.

Exemption from military service and an 'artifact' for the seal bearer.

Seal holders are valuable and scarce talents.

It is common sense in all countries in the world to strictly control the holders of the holy seal and firmly control it in the hands of the state.

According to the laws of the country, as long as the people of the country are tested for the Holy Seal, no matter what the ability of the Holy Seal is, they should enter the school specially designated by the country to study, and after graduation, they will become civil servants of the country to serve the country.

Nobody can be special.

Originally, Cook's act of hiding the holy seal was an illegal act and would be held accountable. (When he was kidnapped by the queen, he did not tell the queen because he was afraid. This matter was delayed until after the war to save the country. The Lion King and the wise king talked about it, and the secret was revealed after the paper could not contain the fire.)

But considering that Cook is a hero who saves the country, his seal awakening method is different from other people's. It was not awakened when he was 10 years old. In addition, the special effects of Cook's seal are not combat-type. Compared with other seals, it can be Said hardly threatening.

Chapter 382: It should be that kind of person

Therefore, Xian Wang opened his eyes and decided not to hold Cook responsible for violating national laws.

Relieves Cook from serving his country as a public servant.

Anyway, Cook's neck has been put on the Earl's collar, which can be regarded as being controlled by the country in another way.Even if Cook was exempted from his service as the seal holder, it would not make much difference.

Based on the above considerations, King Xian made this decision.

There was obviously no change before and after, but when he heard the news, Cook felt as relaxed as if he had regained freedom.

He let out a big sigh of relief.

To celebrate, Cook put his arms around Saxi and felt the feeling of freedom.

So soft and comfortable.Freedom in the hand... nice.

"Master, young master, many people are watching. Sister Sylph's eyes are raised, and the hair on Sister Nina's tail is tied up. Lilith...is laughing."

Ah?Why did the world suddenly become dark?

"The world---wash your face and kill."

The last gift that King Xian gave to Cook was an 'artifact'.

When Cook picked it up, Lilith showed a curious look.

"Father gave this to Cook."

Cook looked at the artifact with great interest, and at the same time looked at Lilith who leaned over to Cook's body like a cat.

In recent days, Lilith has always taken the initiative to get close to Cook.Although Sylph, Nina and Suxi looked jealous, they indulged Lilith unexpectedly.

I can't figure it out, are those three people so thoughtful?

Cook allowed Lilith to act coquettishly on him, feeling the unique soft touch of a young girl.

"Does Lilith know this?"

Cook brought the artifact... to put it bluntly, it was an ordinary fanny pack in front of Lilith.

The fanny pack is all leather.In the middle is a rectangular pocket, and on both sides are belts that can be wrapped around the waist.Not only does it look plain, but it also exudes a strange smell unique to old leather.

Not to mention carrying it on his body, Cook felt uncomfortable in his nose just holding it.

I can’t tell the difference between this fanny pack and other fanny packs.No, it would be better to say that the workmanship is rougher than that of ordinary waist bags.At least, it feels much worse than the fanny pack with a strawberry pattern on it that Sylph bought to celebrate the asset recovery.

If King Xian hadn't stated in his letter that it was an 'artifact', Cook would have misunderstood it as an ordinary pocket.

"I know. Father gave this to you. Hee hee. It's used as a dowry."

After hearing Lilith finished speaking, Cook immediately became excited.
