"What if I say that this place is likely to be attacked by demons?" Emil said with a gloomy face, "Aren't you still willing to follow me?"

"...What?" The village chief looked shocked.

"Don't be so surprised. The demons attacked Blackpool Town a few days ago. Your village is so close to the town. Maybe their next target will be here."

"Yes, yes, let's go to town."

The person who said this was the son of the village chief. He just picked up the jewelry that fell on the ground and said excitedly.

"Shut up, don't think I don't know what you're thinking," the village chief said impatiently, "The town is that good? Do you really think we can farm like we do now after we go there? Wrong, we

You can only become a servant of those nobles, working as cattle and horses for them, and you will never be able to turn around in this life."

Hearing his words, Emil couldn't help but feel heavy. He could probably guess how prejudiced the old village chief was against the town and the nobles, and he really wanted the villagers to do things for the nobles.

After all, even if the new nobles get land, they will not be willing to farm without the help of servants.

However, regardless of what the village chief says, he must seek the opinions of the villagers.

At this time, the villagers fell silent after listening to Emil's words. They also hesitated. If they stayed here, they might be attacked by demons and end up dead without any body parts. If they followed Emil to Blackpool Town, at least

You can still save a life.

Although the villagers are only interested in profit most of the time, when they really face the test of life and death, they will choose to survive without hesitation and survive at any cost.

Therefore, more than half of the more than 300 villagers gathered here decided to follow the emir, while the remaining people had no opinions. They only trusted the village chief very much, so they were waiting for his opinion.

When faced with major decisions, the minority obeys the majority. This is an eternal truth in the village. The village chief watched those people make their choices. He didn't know whether the choice was correct, but at least he was elected by this group of villagers.

, so we must be responsible for the villagers and listen to the opinions of the majority.

When Emil saw the village chief's expression, he couldn't help but smile with relief, thinking that these people were not too stubborn, and then he secretly made up his mind that he would not treat these villagers badly.

"Okay then, I promise to go with you."

As the village chief said these words, the rest of the people had no choice but to agree.

Next, under the instructions of the emir, they went home and carefully packed their belongings, and then gathered in the square.

More than half an hour later, seeing more than 300 people gathering in the square, the village chief felt puzzled.

"Uh, Lord City Lord, are we going to walk to Blackpool Town next? What if we encounter monsters along the way..."

"Humph, of course not, just look at me."

After Emil said that, he took out the small piece of paper that Anne gave him. He squeezed the piece of paper tightly in the same way as before.

Then, a light green light burst out from the magic circle on the paper, and then a huge magic circle was projected onto the ground, covering the entire square.

When the villagers saw this scene, they couldn't help but marveled, thinking that the city lord could actually do magic. It seemed that they were really following the right person. With such a powerful city lord, they would definitely have a better life in the future.

.

Seeing the admiring eyes of the villagers, Emil suddenly felt a sense of pride. For the first time, he tasted the sweetness of being a leader.

Now, the magic circle was ready, and it was up to Anne to release the teleportation magic. However, he was in trouble, because someone had to notify Anne at this time.

Ophelia understood his troubles, so she stood up and said.

"Leave it to me. I'll go back and you'll stay here to guard it."

However, Emil felt that this was inappropriate. If there was a demon attack at this time, how could he cope with it alone? Of course he himself could not be injured by the demon, but it was hard to say for these villagers.

So he expressed his concerns.

"Well...then you should go back, I will stay here alone." Ophelia suggested.

"Can you really do it?" Emil said worriedly.

"Haha, aren't you still confident about my strength?" Ophelia said with her hands on her hips, "No matter how many monsters come, I will chop them into pieces and make sure not a single hair of your people is harmed."

"Okay, I believe you."

Emil nodded solemnly, then he summoned Lilith and flew into the sky.

Only then did the villagers realize that the evil dragon they just mentioned was not a rumor, but now, when they saw the city lord leaving on the dragon, they were all so surprised that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear.

But it was not because of fear, but because their respect for the city lord deepened. They did not expect that this young city lord could not only use magic, but also control a ferocious dragon.

However, the village chief had questions again, so he came to Ophelia.

"Well, what have you been doing, Lord City Lord? Didn't you agree to take us to the town?"

"Oh, don't worry, he has something important to deal with and will be back soon."

Ophelia answered perfunctorily. After all, she didn't understand even if she told them. On the contrary, it might expose the fact that Emile didn't know magic, thus breaking the villagers' beautiful illusions about him.

Although the village chief was a little puzzled, he didn't say much. At this time, the villagers all stayed where they were, bored.

Until someone suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted excitedly.

"Look, there's a huge flock of pigeons."

After all, they lived in a poor village. They had only seen pigeons in books, but they didn't expect to see them in real life.

The villagers thought this was a good sign. When they arrived in the towns, they might really be able to live a better life than now.

However, when Ophelia stared at the group of pigeons, she felt something was wrong. The color of their coats seemed familiar.

After a while, the group of pigeons landed on the ground, and some of them walked directly towards her.

Ophelia observed it and found that the pigeons had small paper strips rolled into tubes on their feet.

Out of curiosity, she casually grabbed a pigeon. Judging from their lack of resistance, it could be seen that it was an artificially domesticated homing pigeon.

She unfolded the small note and looked at it, and found that it said: "Master is in trouble, please come back as soon as possible!"

She caught another pigeon and looked at the small piece of paper on its foot. The same words were written on it, and she recognized the handwriting.

It was somewhat different from the note message she had received before, and the meaning conveyed was obviously more serious, which had to make her nervous.

After a short period of thinking, she made a decision, that is, she would leave here after Annie teleported the villagers to Blackpool Town.

She doesn't have to worry about no one guarding the town, because Annie's strength is about the same as hers.

However, before that, she told the village chief about the matter and asked him to convey it to the emir.

…

On the other side, a few minutes later, Emil returned to Blackpool Town, and he found that Anne was still standing in the same place as when he left.

Seeing Emil return, Anne understood that the magic circle was set up and there was no need for her to greet Emil, so she immediately released the magic.

With a flash of light, more than 300 villagers were all teleported over.

Because the incident happened suddenly, they didn't react until Emil reminded them that Blackpool Town had arrived.

"This...is this the power of magic?"

The villagers were stunned, and they were also attracted by the beautiful buildings and clean streets in the town. They ran over one after another to look here and touch there.

"How about it? Is the town better than your village?" Emil said with a smile.

However, the village chief still looked sad, so Emil explained the next arrangements to him.

"Don't worry, there are no nobles here yet. Because the previous city lord died in battle, all the original nobles abandoned the city and fled. Now there are only me and dozens of people in Blackpool Town."

"Oh? Then wouldn't we..."

"Yes, you can live in any house here."

"That's great, I'll go tell the villagers right now," the village chief beamed as expected. He was about to leave when he was stopped by Emil.

"Wait a minute, I haven't finished speaking yet. I made an agreement with the people. Whoever produces the most materials within three days will be made a new noble. Of course, since you are here,

You also have the opportunity to participate in this election."

"...Thank you so much, Lord City Lord." The village chief expressed his thanks again. He was so moved that he was about to kneel on the ground to thank you.

Emil was born as a commoner and couldn't stand the red tape. Seeing that the old village chief was about to salute him, he quickly helped him up.

"Don't be like this. I am also here to rebuild Blackpool Town. I am asking for your help."

Hearing these words, the village chief admired this young city lord even more. He was obviously just a young man, but he had such a broad mind, which was many times stronger than those nobles.

At this point, he had to change his inherent impression of the nobility, because there were people like Emir.

"Alas, the matter has finally been resolved."

Emil watched the village chief settling down the villagers and couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, he was just about to have a good chat with Ophelia, but after looking for a long time, he couldn't find the white knight in the crowd.

"Eh?"

"Ah, by the way," the village chief suddenly remembered this and quickly reported to the emir, "that knight asked me to bring you a message."

"Huh? Didn't she come back with you?"

"Yes, she said that she had more important things to do, so she left first. She also said that there is already someone around you to help, so her power is not needed for the time being."

"Tsk, you said you don't need her power, do you think I am a realistic person?" Emil whispered.

Of course he knew that Ophelia had gone to find her master, but the words she left behind were a bit too undervaluing the friendship between them. The reason why he was with Ophelia was not just because of his love for her.
