As soon as Gawain entered the hall, Amber rushed over with an afterimage, and the first sentence of the meeting was: "Mom, you are finally here! If you don't come, I won't be able to persevere!"

"Aren't you looking forward to playing majesty under my name?" Gao Wen gave her a strange look, "Why did you look like this when you had a chance this time?"

"Don't mention it, it's not the same as what I thought!" Amber grimaced, "I didn't have so many people watching when I was working before - this kind of high-profile work environment is too unfriendly... …”

Gawain: "...I still can't understand where your mysterious professional pride comes from."

Then he threw the enigmatic half-elf thief aside and strode to the high platform.

Dozens of eyes in the hall immediately shifted to him.

Gawain glanced at the people below. He saw the advisor, treasurer, and chief knight in the castle, as well as the priest of the Holy Light that he saw last night, and also saw several squires with morning dew on their bodies and anxious expressions. , that should be the territorial steward who just arrived from the town to help the Kant family manage the industry, and seeing their respective expressions, Gawain knew that the situation should be similar to what he expected.

"Gentlemen and ladies," Gawain said, his tone was low and steady, coupled with his height of presence, he managed to calm down the people below, "I think you are in a state of confusion. , you should suddenly realize what happened in the past few decades, and these things are completely different from what you remember and perceive, I am here to answer your doubts."

"Last night, a big event happened in the castle. I want to tell you with regret that the Kant family came to an end that night..."

Gawain told the truth to the people in front of him in a simple and direct way as much as possible. He let these people know the truth because they wanted to maintain the order of Kant's territory in the next period of time, and they had to take on the responsibility of handing over to the surrounding nobles. , and the investigators sent by the king, but he chose to use milder terms as much as possible to describe the parts that were too sensational - such as the mountains of bones under the old stables area, and the land is only one step away would be corrupted by a terrifying nightmare creation.

After all, that "Master Belm" had already stepped into the real world with both feet at that time!

If he said these things, it might give people a sensation of sensationalism. It is better to let the people present see it with their own eyes, so that they can better understand what happened.

Waiting for Gao Wen's narration to come to an end for the time being,

The hall fell into a brief and deadly atmosphere, and it wasn't until a few seconds later that people's uneasy discussions finally sounded. The priest of the Holy Light Church kept drawing sacred symbols on his chest, trying to disperse the entrenched people. The fear in his heart, and the chief knight, who has almost completely turned white and is now the knight instructor of Fort Conde, couldn't help but ask loudly, "Then what should we do?"

"As for the future of this land, Viscount Kant has left arrangements," Gawain nodded and took out the letters left by Victor Kant from his arms, "Although Viscount Kant is trapped by nightmares, he is still A tenacious warrior, you should thank him, he used the last remaining strength of his soul to arrange a way out for everyone. First of all, about the inheritance of the territory..."

After explaining clearly the arrangements left by Viscount Kant, and encouraging the stewards present, Gawain left the time for free discussion to those present, and he left the high platform as if he took a stand. Go to the tea table on the west side of the hall to rest on your own.

This is a gesture, indicating that the Cecil family will not take this opportunity to go down and swallow the Kant Territory-this kind of annexation is not uncommon in this era, especially after the establishment of the Second Dynasty, the royal family has binding force on the nobles everywhere It was not uncommon for the small nobles on the borders of the kingdom to nibble and fight with each other, but Gawain made this gesture deliberately, in order to reassure the people present.

But obviously someone had a different idea. Not long after he sat down, a short, chubby middle-aged man in a black coat came over. He bowed in front of Gawain with a respectful and slightly stern expression on his face. Nervous look: "Lord Duke, I am the advisor of Viscount Kant, Patrick Bohm, I want to talk to you about something."

"Old Viscount's advisor?" Gawain glanced at the squatty gentleman. The latter looked simple and honest, and he had the elegance of a scholar, which fit the image of "aristocratic advisor" very well. "What do you have to do with me?"

"It's like this - we lost the lord, and what's worse, we lost Mr. Carter, the steward, and without the person in charge of the overall situation, I am a small affairs consultant who has to take on the responsibility of maintaining the order of the entire territory. I am very worried. Is his prestige enough?” Patrick stood nervously and said, directly confronting an orange-quality unearthed figure like Gawain for the first time, which obviously made him a lot of pressure, “so I discussed with a few gentlemen, I hope you can ...become the acting lord of the Kant Territory temporarily to help us get through this most difficult time. Of course, this request is really overstepping, it doesn't matter if you don't agree."

Gao Wen raised his eyebrows, but he didn't look too surprised: "You mean, let me take the responsibility of the lord temporarily?"

"This seems to be the best choice," Patrick spread his hands helplessly, "You are the most prestigious and capable noble we have access to, and no one can control this situation except you. The situation. And you directly saved the land - I don't think anyone would object to your takeover."

However, Gawain just smiled and said unhurriedly, "I have no intention of becoming the lord of the Kant Territory, even if it is acting on my behalf."

Patrick looked a little disturbed: "But..."

"I haven't finished speaking yet," Gawain waved his hand, "I became the lord of the Kant Territory under this circumstance. You know what happened, but the other nobles outside the territory may not think so. The Kant Territory is just a piece of land. This small piece of land, I don't want it to become a stain on my reputation, this is for personal reasons, but for the public, Viscount Kant is a royal aristocrat directly conferred by the royal family. Designated, although I am the elder of Francis II, I do not intend to take the initiative to break the rules I set with Charlie back then."

"...You are indeed just and upright."

"Of course, I also know your difficulties, so I will make a statement in the name of Duke Cecil, and protect this land in name before Kant regains its legal lord, and if there is a new Lord, my protection will end at the same time."

Patrick blinked, as if he understood Gawain's foresight, so he bowed his head respectfully: "Your arrangements are indeed well thought out."

Gawain nodded, taking advantage of this moment to command: "I hope you can issue a notice to tell those dismissed castle slaves and serfs directly under the lord, if their life is difficult, the Cecil family is willing to accept them at any time, they will be treated justly by the freedmen in New Cecil."

"Yes, they will surely thank you for your kindness."

"In addition, Viscount Kant gave me all his property as a gift, but I think you need it more, so except for the few farms near the south that will be included in Cecil's territory, the property in the castle is mine. It's all left to you, now that the butler is gone, you and the chief knight must properly use this property and let it be spent where it should be spent, understand?"

Patrick's expression this time was really surprised, and after a few seconds of stunned he nodded hurriedly: "Yes... Yes, your generosity is touching! I swear by my surname, the old master will stay Every copper plate down will be used on the right path!"

"Very well, I believe that those of you who are conscientiously helping the Kant family manage their family business will still be able to maintain order in this land in the future," Gao Wen nodded, "In addition, considering that there is still a large area between the two territories The wilderness is blocked, I will send someone to walk between the two territories and help you manage this place, the connection between the Kant territory and the Cecil territory will be closer than before."

Patrick bowed his head sincerely: "That's the best."

"There are also some more practical trivial matters. The first is the distribution of charcoal after the winter. I heard that in previous years, the Viscount Kant and the Viscountess would distribute charcoal to the poor after the winter, so that they could stay warm during the winter. Sometimes There will also be food distribution - although it is all the result of the illusion of the dream, but the benefits of the people are real, and I don't want this tradition to disappear when the lord passes away. Go and put up a notice and tell the people that this year Charcoal and food will still be distributed, and under the protection of the Cecil family, this winter is still warm. You are doing the specific affairs every year, so it should be fine, right?"

Patrick nodded again and again: "Yes, of course there is no problem. In fact, we started preparing for this aspect as early as half a month ago. The charcoal to be distributed is piled up in the warehouse of the castle..."

After arranging a few more trivial matters, Gawain watched Patrick return to the crowd, and watched the fat gentleman begin to convey his wishes among the stewards, while he smiled and nodded, casually. He picked up a cup of cold tea from the side and drank it slowly.

A young maid rushed over in a panic, as if trying to save her dereliction of duty, but Gawain waved his hand and asked the frightened girl to find a place to rest: "No, herbal tea is good. By the way, if you find a place to rest. If you don’t have a job, remember to come to Cecil to pick it up, we’ll have food, shelter, and land.”

"You really don't forget to win over people," Amber put half a small snack in his mouth and glanced at Gawain with a bit of criticism, "But you gave up the greatest benefit..."

But Gawain just smiled and said in a low voice, "You will understand, but don't ask any more questions now."

Amber pouted: "God nagging."

Gawain did not explain too much to Amber, but called Knight Philip who was resting next to him: "From now on, you will be in charge of the communication between Kant and Cecil, and supervise the situation of this land on my behalf."

"Yes, my lord," Knight Philip nodded, but was still a little worried, "but I have never done anything like this..."

"Don't think too much, I'll tell you what to do. In addition, you are responsible for reporting the situation of Kant collar to me in a timely manner. In addition, you don't need to live here for a long time, as long as you walk here every month. One or two will do. Knight, this place is in trouble, but there are many people who need help."

Philip's motivation immediately surged: "Yes, my lord, I must be worthy of your trust!"

Gawain sighed, looking at the magnificent main hall of the castle in front of him, he suddenly felt that he missed the fields and construction sites of Cecil Land.

The aftermath work has been arranged, and the specific affairs have been done, and it is time for him to leave.
