Chapter 279 Goodbye Teacher(2/3)
That place is now converted into a bathhouse.
"You didn't come back this morning. You were hiding here."
Alison glanced at the little black goat paddling on the cultist's shield in the pool, grabbed him with his tentacles the moment he grinned, and then threw the frightened little black goat outside.
"The men's bath is over there."
Alison said, then stretched out her hand to take back the cultist's shield, and jumped into the pool with little Su Xiaolu.
"It's so pleasant." Alison said as she leaned in the pool and closed her eyes.
The two little foxes immediately came over to massage their backs, and from time to time they could hear the sound of rushing water. Alison frowned, opened one eye, and saw the little black goat lying on a fresh lotus leaf.
It was floating in the pool and chewing cud.
"Sir, according to the book, the evil god has no gender." Naya said quietly from the side, "Generally, only animals and plants exist, and the evil god is a high-dimensional creature."
"What do you know? I raised a sheep, and he was baring his teeth just now." Alison snorted, and then wanted to wave to him to check, but after thinking about it, she decided not to do it.
After all, the little black goat was busy all night last night, so Wood didn't have to worry about the street lights in a short time.
Several people were taking a bath in the pool, Alison gradually fell asleep under the comfortable massage, the two little foxes started playing with the little black goat, and Naya left the bath to prepare lunch.
"People from Baron Castle came just now and said that they have prepared a welcome banquet for you at noon. In addition, the Templar Knights have arrested many businessmen who print and sell books." Wood, who was burning the boiler, said.
"That's great, I'll go tell Lady Allison."
Naya was very happy when she heard this. After all, she didn't have to make lunch.
At noon, Alison woke up, put on her clothes, and led her servants to Shalin Castle.
There were many people at the welcome banquet, most of them were knights of Sarin and business representatives from the town. Veroni, who had not yet recovered, also attended.
During this period, under the influence of alcohol, a group of knights began to complain about the poor environment around the territory. They did not want to complain about why Alison let those people come back alive. After all, this had become a fact. They wanted to see what Alison could do.
They can't be dealt with.
"Ever since Earl Ratched took office in the royal capital, the group of knights under him have become a mess. They think they are guarding the barony and they really think they are barons. If something really happens, can they keep it under control?"
Knight Goethe sat next to Alison, holding a wine glass and taking the lead, "Just like now, various viscounts who do not belong here ignore the orders of the Consulate and confiscate their property on the pretext of allowing businessmen to be tax-free, and some
The morally corrupt businessmen openly sold books banned by the church, while the knights guarding there could only hide in the Earl's Castle like a turtle."
"That's right, the citizens are in urgent need of a strong man who can suppress external forces to preside over the situation and restore order here."
The business representative of the town also said, raising his hand, "Besides, I can guarantee my support to the Viscount, and I have never sold a book banned by the church."
"I also support Viscount Alison, those outsiders simply won't let us live." Another knight from Salin raised his glass, "If the Viscount wants to sweep away the earldom, I am willing to be the vanguard!"
"That's true. If they continue like this, the term merchant will become extinct in the Earldom of Ratched."
"The most important thing is that they are robbing each other of small towns and wars continue. If this continues until next spring, it will even affect farming."
"This place is going to be desolate."
Everyone said something to each other, and their inner and outer meanings were to ask Alison to clean up the mess. After all, there were so many Templars outside the door, not to mention cleaning up the earldom, even the Duke's Castle was enough.
Alison was a little moved after hearing this. After all, she didn't like chaotic situations, but what she focused on now was promotion knowledge.
So Alison ignored those who praised her, but looked at Veroni, "Mentor, have you been contacted?"
"It can't be that easy. It will take three days at the fastest." Veroni shook her head slightly and smiled after hearing this.
"Oh." Alison felt bad immediately after hearing this.
So when the businessman once again mentioned quelling the chaos and hinted that he would pay her taxes in the future, Alison also shook her head.
"Now we have a system of general rule. I cannot attack other nobles privately, and my territory is only as small as the town of Legmi. If you launch a war here, what do you think Earl Ratched in the royal capital will think?"
"
"The count is no different from being imprisoned now, and I don't think this ruling system is very good, so please help us." The merchant was anxious after hearing this. Although he was fine, the people in their business alliance were all squeezed to their bones.
All gone.
"Besides, I have other things to do now." Alison shook her head and refused.
Seeing Alison being so straightforward, a group of people were disappointed, but there was nothing they could do. They were all Sarin people and had no position to speak for others.
The banquet basically couldn't go on at this point. After everyone drank some wine, they left in waning spirits.
Alison finished the wine in her glass and stood up to say goodbye to the baron and mentor. Before leaving, Veroni tried to persuade Alison to take control of the earldom, but Alison still refused.
"I don't want to move until I get the news."
Veroni could only smile bitterly when she heard this, and reassured her that there would be news soon.
Alison thanked her and immediately led the servants out of the castle. Outside the castle, the Templars escorted twenty merchants and a large number of recovered books.
"Sir, these businessmen are illegal businessmen selling books banned by the church." the knight leader said to Alison.
"The church bans books?" Alison frowned upon hearing this, "That's not what I want, it's the people who sell books that slander me."
"Your book is a book banned by the church." The knight leader lowered his head and said.
Alison was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then walked towards the pile of books. She saw the covers of the pile of books from a distance, such as: "Alison and the Seven Dwarfs", "The Flower of Evil", "The Demon of the Goddess"
"The Adventures of China" and "The Girl Who Sells Matches".
She walked to the stack of books, picked up a book and took a look at it. She saw that the writing was delicate and the words were alluring, as if she had seen it in person.
"The writing is good, but it's a pity that the protagonist is me." Alison turned a few pages, remembered the author's name, then threw them into the pile of books, threw a pumpkin head and burned them.
"Ah! My book!"
Several businessmen's eyes turned red when they saw the books being burned. They rushed towards the fire crazily. The strength of their struggle was so great that the Templars could not hold them down.
"Interrogate them and then burn them," Alison said, looking at their dejected expressions.
"I asked, it was published by a bookstore called Azalea in the royal capital." The Templar said.
Alison nodded when she heard this, and at this moment the small town businessman ran over and knelt down with a simple sound.
"Sir, please spare their lives. They are forced by life. I swear, if they dare to sell such books in the future, you will burn me too."
Alison looked at the guy crying in front of her, then looked back at the lost businessmen, nodded, and then said to the Templars, "Send an announcement in the kingdom that the previous matters will not be held accountable. From today on, if
There are still people selling this book, I will kill them all."
"Understood." The leader of the Templar Knights nodded.
Chapter 4.2 Assassin
Night, Salimburg.
Sean, wearing a black cloak, was hiding in the corner, his eyes fixed on the brightly lit wooden cabin not far away.
He is an excellent cleric who believes in the god of shallow water.
But it's a pity that he was unlucky, or maybe all his luck in life seemed to have been used up in the first half of his life.
As a bishop of the Cardinal Church of the God of Shallow Water, he was punished and sent to the Imperial Special Affairs Bureau because he broke a glass cup dedicated to the god during a sacrifice.
As a result, during a mission, he accidentally melted the head of a viscount, and was immediately sent to the Kingdom of Thorns.
Although they are both responsible for the city, there are still differences between cities.
Because of the war, Neckarsson's nights have returned to the point where the profession of lamplighter is needed, and even in salons there are no beautiful hostesses.
There is really nothing.
Even if he was assigned to the royal capital, he accepted his fate.
It just happens to be such a backward place.
So when he received a report from his subordinates and learned that the Viscount named Alison was back, Sean felt that his chance for redemption had come.
As long as he kills this guy who is hated by everyone, then he has accomplished a great feat and can leave this damn place.
This viscount who robbed the empire of mineral deposits and killed countless professionals has brought too much pain to the empire.
He will take revenge tonight.
Even nothingness is helping me.
Seeing that there was no spirit around, Sean held the hilt of his sword and walked forward slowly. He slowly approached the wooden house full of street lights. Compared to the darkness of the castle, it was much more luxurious.
Sean stood behind the wooden house and tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword. This person was said to be Level 2, but he was very powerful. Otherwise, so many people would not be able to leave without returning. Although he was Level 4, he still had to act with caution.
Just when he was looking at the back of the wooden house, looking for a window that could be easily opened, he saw a black and white pigeon squatting on a wooden window, staring motionlessly at him.
Sean's heart tightened, how could there be pigeons in the wild of Chiyueli?
Just when Sean was hesitating, the pigeon suddenly called, startling him immediately.
"Gu Gu~" Pigeon stood up and looked at him cutely.
"Shh!" Sean gestured nervously.
Seeing this, the pigeon turned its head to the right curiously, "Cuckoo~"
"Pah~" Sean raised his eyebrows, and a drop of water popped out and hit the pigeon's head.
"Zizzi~" The pigeon rolled its eyes, blue arcs of electricity appeared on its body, and it fell from the window.
To be continued...
