After Vernon left, Arthur got up and walked around the desk to pace, who was reading books.

    "If you like, you can take it away when you leave."

    "Count, this is too precious." pace closed his book. That is a history book of Shanghe collar newly sorted out by Mr. Boye and others.

    "It''s just a Book of water," Arthur invited, pointing to a chair aside. "Let''s sit down and talk."

    When they were seated, pace said, "Lord count, I didn''t mean to eavesdrop on your conversation, but I heard well. You seem to have some trouble."

    Grabbing the silver kettle on the table, Arthur poured himself a glass of water, moistened his throat and said, "it''s not a trouble. People who are angry always have to say a few cruel words before they leave."

    Looking at Arthur''s indifferent appearance, pace hesitated whether he should make a sound to remind him.

    After thinking about it, he said tactfully: "Sir, I have heard of the ghost faced Eagle wreaking havoc on zuogeya and Cumbria. Although the escort caravan has a safe trip, it is said that the east of zuogeya has been in chaos, and the nobles have withdrawn from their fiefs."

    "This is the fate of the three northern leaders." Arthur''s tone was a little heavy. "Since you are here, you should be prepared to deal with Warcraft at any time. If anyone forgets the threat of Warcraft, Warcraft will naturally wake them up."

    "Isn''t there any good way?" pace looked dignified and worried about the innocent civilians.

    Looking at him, Arthur said with relief: "Don''t worry, but there are more than ten ghost faced eagles, which is far from the most serious crisis in the history of our three northern leaders. The human territory south of the Tungus mountains is not suitable for Warcraft. When they toss enough and find that they don''t have enough food, they will naturally return to the wild land north of the mountain. I believe that with the wisdom of marquis Kiel green, he will be able to protect it Good people. Besides, they still have the support of the Davidson family. "

    "Isn''t there a better way? I mean, can you let those ghost faced Eagles leave on their own!" pace wanted to say that in the face of danger, the nobles don''t care about the life and death of civilians!

    Looking at him, Arthur smiled: "Mr. pace, we can drive away the birds on the ground, but how can we drive away the birds in the sky? Besides, it''s Warcraft."

    Seeing that Arthur was so sure, pace had to nod silently. Indeed, what can humans do in the face of a group of Warcraft that come and go freely

    "You didn''t come to Lingfeng castle just to ask me how to expel flying Warcraft. If so, you''ll be disappointed."

    "No, count, I''m not here for that!" pace replied quickly, but then he didn''t know what to say.

    "Count, in fact, I don''t know why I came to see you." pace said, "I and my escort''s caravan will leave here early tomorrow morning. These days I''ve visited Shanghe town and saw many things that make me curious. I think it''s probably out of curiosity that I want to come to see you before I leave." pace unconsciously used a salute.

    "What do you think of the changes in Shanghe town?" asked Arthur.

    "I don''t know. The changes in Shanghe town are very complex. As you just said, it''s not just building a few houses." looking at Arthur in front of him, pace can hardly connect the changes outside with the young Lord.

    "You''re not saying it''s bad, but you dare not say it. For example, you must think I''m crazy to liberate serfs and return slaves to freedom."

    Arthur laughed and teased himself, but pace saw that he was so straightforward, but his face was serious.

    "Indeed, when I first heard these news, I had no doubt that it was a lie. I even thought that it was just a trick you used to make those slaves work hard."

    "What about now?" asked Arthur curiously.

    "I specially rode to your farm yesterday. No, it should be said that it is the village now."

    "Isn''t the wheat growing well?" Arthur asked with a smile.

    "Yes!" pace was a little excited. "I''ve never seen such a high-quality wheat field, a continuous piece of oil and green! You didn''t deceive them. You gave them far more than they expected! If you didn''t hear it with your own ears, who would believe that a count noble would go down to the ground and compete with a group of serfs to cultivate it!"

    "Also won!" Arthur stressed.

    "Yes!" said pace, with a smile on his face, and then asked very carefully, "Lord count, why did you do this?"

    Arthur and pace looked at each other. He knew that the other party''s problems contained questions and puzzles about all his reform measures.

    It''s good to have a good harvest of food, but it''s not necessarily to liberate the serfs; it''s good for the slaves to work hard, but it''s not necessarily to give them freedom; it''s good to pay attention to knowledge, but it''s not necessarily to educate the whole people... These were all the problems that bachelor Boye repeatedly mentioned in his ear.

    The class attribute and position make it difficult for them to understand: an aristocratic Lord doesn''t think about how to control and exploit serfs. Instead, he tries to give them a better life!

    Isn''t he afraid to lose control? Are you not afraid that because of his independence, he will touch the interests of the nobility and lead to destruction?

    This may be the doubt of all businessmen and mercenaries who come to Shanghe town. According to Gustav''s message, Arthur knew that many mercenaries would show their foresight by cursing his stupidity when they were having fun with prostitutes.

    Looking at the solemn pace on his face, Arthur said, "I didn''t expect a knight like you to ask such a stupid question."

    "Lord count, I don''t quite understand..." pace frowned.

    "You were born noble and should not lack the teaching of an excellent bachelor; you have served kings and should not lack your vision; you have become a wandering mercenary and should not lack your knowledge of civilian life. These days, you must have heard many leaders praise me. They say I am the kindest nobleman and the wisest Lord, but you should know the most: if a lord, If you let your own preferences decide, the territory he rules must not be far from chaos. Whether he is kind or cruel. "

    Pace was shocked and looked at Arthur''s eyes. For a moment, he thought of King olivido, whom he swore allegiance to

    Looking at pace, Arthur said: "history tells us that all the actions of the ruling class are to maintain their own rule! It''s not why I do this, but I have to do so! The tustra family is the shield of the north, the owner of the river leader, and the real guardian of the North! Not the watchdog in the mouth of those stupid nobles."

    Pace''s brain was buzzing. Looking at Arthur, he tried to open his mouth several times, but he couldn''t say anything. Whether it was suggestions or opinions, he looked pale and full of childish compromise in front of Arthur''s sentence "everyone in the river is the real guardian of the North!".

    Pace got up and left. He finally asked Arthur to send him the book on the history of the river collar.

    After pace left, Thorne, who had been escorting Arthur, asked, "Sir, do you want to accept this man?"

    "Why, you see," Arthur said with a smile. "What? Let him be a partner with you so that you don''t have to guard me all the time."

    "It''s my honor to protect your safety!" Thorne said. "If he is your escort, he is qualified."

    Listening to Thorne''s arrogance, Arthur smiled and said, "early, I haven''t left my eight characters! I''m hungry. Go to find housekeeper Benjie for food."

    With that, Arthur went straight to the restaurant.

    He does have the idea of accepting pace, but the other party''s identity is too sensitive. The moment when his reputation soars is also the moment when trouble comes. Therefore, whether pace is willing or not, he will not show the intention of soliciting now.

    Seeing that Arthur had gone out, Thorne hurried to catch up with him - he hadn''t left his eight characters yet. What does that mean
