Wizard From Afar

Although he was very entangled with the affairs of the Rand family, Loren soon didn’t think about it anymore—just a week later, the howling cold wind completely conquered the entire count. collar.

Even if the sun in the sky is still shining, the biting cold is like falling in a ice hole!

The speed of winter is far beyond Loren’s expectations, and more terrifying things are still to come—according to the calculations of the little wizard and her past experience in Deep Limburg, this time The winter is likely to be exceptionally long.

This also means that Shenlinburg’s grain storage is likely not to persist after spring ploughing in the coming year, even if there is only a slight accident, the entire castle may be in danger of running out of grain.

At this step, the black hair wizard can finally understand why Barry Senna willingly surrendered the land—according to Lothar Duchy’s tradition, vassals are only obligated to be responsible for the subjects in Fiefdom, and Those free people are the subjects of the lord.

In other words, they don't care about the life and death of these people. These farmers who have just obtained their own land, the only thing they can rely on is Ruben Fried Count alone.

They abandoned some barren land and a group of helpless peasants, taking the opportunity to consume the few stored grains in the castle. When these people have eaten up all the food in the castle and count is desperate, they will naturally surrender to them!

The other party’s methods are extremely vicious. They must know that by doing so, hundreds of people will starve to death and freeze to death in the cold wind, but they are worthless in their eyes. It was just an item used to force Ruben to surrender to them.

I actually miscalculated again...

Loren now realized that he seriously overestimated the moral bottom line of these nobles, thinking that even if they did not regard their tenants as people, they would still It should be a "property" that cannot be easily abandoned, but the reality is really cruel.

Loren hates accidents, instability, and sudden situations... But by comparison, he hates his "failure" even more.

As long as the breath survives, as long as there are chess pieces in his hand, and there is still room to turn around, he will absolutely refuse to admit that he has failed—even more how, and now he is only preempted by the opponent.

This game of chess is not over yet, at least it will not be over until I am the general!

………………Even if the fireplace is already burning hot, the temperature in the map room is still shiveringly cold. The flickering candlelight left a black silhouette on the wall, swaying like a devil.

And Ruben Fried, sitting in the armchair next to the map table, was in a colder mood than the temperature. At the moment when he heard the black hair wizard say, he even felt a little desperate.

"Does your alchemist friend really guarantee accuracy?"

"He is the best alchemist among people I know. For Weather changes and natural science knowledge far exceed me."

Loren's expressionless nodded: "If even Ai...Isaac said so, then I can only respect his judgment. "

The young count's expression is even more ugly. Of course he knows what a long and harsh winter means. The peasants who have just obtained the land, if they don't take out the food from the castle to help them, they will not be able to withstand the severe cold.

But Loren has just said that although Shen Limburg’s food stock is abundant, it is definitely not enough for so many people to consume, and can only last for a month at most.

For more than a month, everyone has to starve to death!

"Today, Elders from many villages have come to the castle to intercede, saying that the farm’s food is out." Loren said in a tranquil voice: "If they can’t allocate some food to them as soon as possible, they will not only be poaching And being a robber, there is only one way to starve to death."

"If the expectation is good, soon more refugees will come to Deep Limburg to ask for relief, when the time comes only It may become more dangerous. The weather is getting colder and colder. Once they don’t have food, they can do everything, or even go back to be tenants of those lords, and the whole plan will fall short!"

" What to do?!"

The already intolerable Ruben stood up directly from his chair: "Is there really no way? We are about to succeed. Is it necessary to let a natural disaster take everything? All the results of his work have been obliterated?!"

Ru Wen was not reconciled, of course he was not reconciled-obviously victory is near, and the fruits of success are within reach, but at this time he has to stop, why? Maybe accept it with peace of mind?

But the reality is cruel to the point of being unbearable. Only deep Limburg impossible to feed everyone. Without the support of those nobles, he would have to look at those who believe in himself, in the cold wind The shiver coldly turns into a corpse.

"Of course there is a way."

"Say!" The count that is about to lose patience has become much sharper.

"We need support, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to hold it." Loren said with a clear expression: "Since this winter is so severe, you have every reason to ask your father for help and ask Lord Duke for help. We have some relief food, even...reinforcement."

"At the same time, we will release the news as much as possible. It is best to let the entire count of people know that soon there will be food filled Carriage arrives at Shenlinburg-not only can give confidence to the civilians, but also hit those nobles"

"If it is for Shenlinburg, father It shouldn't be rejected." Ruben nodded , His gaze turned to Sir Aaron next to him: "You will set off tonight. Must let father know how serious the situation is now!" Quietly stuffing him a note from behind, the frowned him fell silent.

"In addition, for those refugees who ask for help from the castle, they should be resolved separately." The black hair wizard continued opening the mouth and said: "First of all, gather those young and strong as much as possible so that only those who remain Old and weak women and children can be resolved, and there is no need to worry about any riots."

This approach is also cruel, but it is no choice. Count can also understand why Loren did this: "But after gathering these young men, they also need relief."

"It's very simple. Find them some work." Loren eyebrows raised : "For the stronger ones, they are temporarily incorporated into the castle guards to replace the original Knights guarding some insignificant places; and for those who are weak, they will be assigned easier jobs."

"As long as they still have work to do and can barely eat, these people will not be an unstable factor, and can guarantee that there will be no riots for the time being." The black hair wizard leaned down slightly, right hand from the map led by count Swipe lightly: "We can buy time to solve those nobles who have not yet acknowledged allegiance."

No matter how many means, we can only buy time. As long as these nobles of Deep Limburg cannot be resolved and enough land and food are obtained from them, then everything is vain.

If you want to solve them, you need more intelligence and handle. It just so happens that there is a person around him who can do this.

Leaving the map room, Loren looked at the hat standing outside waiting, with a kind smile on his face-but in the eyes of the hat, it was almost like a prehistoric giant beast was facing He bared his teeth and stood upright all over his body.

"Please, do you have anything to order, Lord Loren?" The male child clutching the brim of the hat was scared and nervous, and laughed pretendingly: "As long as you order, I It must be done for you."

"I sincerely hope you didn't lie to me, dear hat." Slowly squatted down, Loren and the male child looked at each other: "So let's make a deal. "

"Deal?"

"As long as you help me this last time and never betray me, I will never ask you for anything in the future."

Loren’s tone is full of temptation: "Not only that, I can also help you find a birth in this castle. With good luck, maybe I can convince Lord Count to make you a certain Knight's attendant."

Knight's attendant...... swallowed saliva and said fiercely, trying to make himself look calmer, but he still exposed his heart as a child temperament. The black hair wizard raised his mouth slightly:

"So...a deal?"
