Chapter 193 Return to the village (Part 1)
Time continues to move backwards, the climate gradually becomes colder, and snow may even fall at night. Although the snowflakes give people a very beautiful feeling, this drop in temperature still brings countless troubles.
On the night of December 18, a cold current hit the nearby area and the temperature suddenly dropped to about ten degrees below zero.
"It's snowing again." Sir Demerka stood at the window on the second floor and looked out. A string in his heart moved slightly and said to himself.
At this moment, snowflakes kept falling from the sky, the windows were half open, and a stream of cool air rushed into the room.
The temperature of the whole room is decreasing over time.
Sir Demerka, on his face, stood there with a gloomy expression, facing the cold wind, not afraid of the cold air at all. He was thinking about something, standing here could clear his somewhat chaotic mind.
"I don't know, how is the territory now? Have those demons ruined it? "Thinking that his territory might still be desolate now, he couldn't help but murmur, very worried about the situation in his territory.
Sir Demerka's territory was already broken by demons a long time ago. From then on, he had to bring his daughter, wife and surviving people to the terthaus of Romon and live in this small mine village surrounded by high walls.
Not only him, but also the other surviving jazz, also came here.
With the help of Romon, they built a house and settled the small family. At least before this winter came, they had a stable home again. They would not be afraid of the demons' attacks all day long, and would not flee everywhere when winter came.
However, this home is so strange.
No matter how good or safe it is, this place is not their long-term place.
They have indeed moved to Romon's subordinates. Romon is now a baron and can indeed deserve the identity of this superior lord.
However, the territories that once belonged to them still belong to them now. Because these Lords fought hard, they would not be punished for defeat, and their families did not perish in the devil's disaster, and the ownership of the territory would not change.
I heard that the development of the demon disaster has become increasingly stable, and some gentry began to think about returning to their territory to take a look.
After all, it is really heartbreaking that my territory is so deserted.
Just a few days ago, several gentry who had moved into Tetashau with Sir Demerka had left one after another. After hearing that they had returned to their territory, they began to renovate the territory.
"Do you want to say something to Romon now? If he said that, would he have any objection?" Sir Demerka was in a state of mind now, and he wanted to go back.
In this world, the relationship between superiors and subordinates is not as harsh as on earth, so it is normal to go back.
But there is a key issue here, which is to lead the people and the army.
After all, the person who said he wanted to settle here was himself, and the people in charge had also been entrusted.
Moreover, the army and salary were all supplied with a large number of Romon's armor, weapons, and food. If you want to leave at this time, you can't just take people away like this.
Moreover, if Romon was still a lord, things would be much easier, but once and for a while, Romon is now a baron and no longer a lord on par with him. Such a change in status will naturally make Sir Demerka think a lot more when he thinks about problems.
"Dear, you will catch a cold." The door of Sir Demerka was suddenly pushed open by someone in this room. The beautiful and dignified Jazz Lady walked in from outside. As soon as she came in, she found her husband in a daze. The temperature in the room was very low. Not only did she sigh with distress, she walked forward and closed the window.
Looking out from the transparent glass window, the scene outside is still clearly visible.
"Sorry, I'm worried." Sir Demerka turned around and hugged his wife, saying with some guilt. Over the past period of time, his wife, who was once pampered, suffered a lot with him, which made Sir Demerka feel a little sorry.
"Dear, are you upset again?" Knowing that her husband was hesitating, the Jazz Lady gently tidied up his clothes for him, then looked into his eyes and asked gently.
At this time, there was nothing more reassuring than this expression. Under her gentle gaze, Sir Demerka sighed softly.
"Yes, I heard that they have all gone back, and I want to go back and see it." Then Sir Demerka said: "But, the problem of leading the people and the army is very troublesome."
"But... aren't you living here well now?" The Jazz Lady felt a little sorry for her husband: "Will you go back after this winter?"
"Dear, you may not understand the current situation. The current territory pattern has changed a lot due to the occurrence of the magic disaster. I am worried that if we delay rushing back, the territory may be taken back by the kingdom and given to others." Sir Demerka said in silence.
"Really?" The Jazz Lady was startled. She had never understood this matter very much. After hearing what her husband said, she became worried: "Then... then we'll leave now!"
"Haha, don't be anxious. My dear, as long as you go back in the next few days, there should be no problem, but the problems of the people and the army... I am worried that Romon will be very unhappy!" Sir Demerka raised his concern: "But if there is no certain people and the army, it will be in vain for us to go back."
"You mean this, indeed, this is a big problem." When the Jazz Lady was speechless, she said with some concern: "Why don't you tell him and make things clear. We can only have a part of the manpower and basically reclaim wasteland!"
Seeing his wife say this, Sir Demerka had no choice but to nod: "I hope so."
At this time, lunch time came, and the couple went down to have a meal. In order to make their lives better, although it was already winter, Romon would still distribute some of the vegetables produced in his greenhouse to the nobles living here. Sir Demerka's family could eat fresh vegetables every day, which was indeed a very good life in winter.
After dinner, Sir Demerka felt that he was still in a bad mood, so he walked out and walked on the street.
The small mining village at this time is very different from when it was first built.
Because of Romon's full efforts and the gradual increase in population, this place is nominally a village, but in fact, it is already comparable to an ordinary town.
Even the town newly built by Romon is not much larger than this small mining village in terms of population size.
The streets are very spacious, with small trees planted when the village was rebuilt. Because a long time has passed, the trees have risen a lot. In summer, the green shade allows people to walk around them without feeling the scorching summer sunshine. Although it is winter now, the scale can be seen.
The shops on both sides are full of goods, which now surprises Sir Daimerka. After all, after the outbreak of the magic disaster, many stores have already faced a shortage of goods, but the shops here seem to have not encountered these problems at all, and there are still many goods. Is this place really completely unaffected by the outside world?
While walking, Daimoka looked at the situation in the village. When he walked to the villa in Romon, he subconsciously stopped.
"I heard that Romon returned to the small mining village today. I don't know if Romon is here now..." He thought secretly, looked up at the villa again, hesitating whether he wanted to go in.
At this moment, a man happened to come out of Romon's villa.
"Is it Mr. Daimerka?" The man who came out was wearing a robe, was a little thin, but in a very good state of mind. He just looked at this side, and the man recognized him, walked over and asked with a smile: "Are you here to find Lord Baron? Lord Baron just went out, why don't you come in and wait?"
This person was Nick, who followed Romon to count it. He was always called by the Baron when he was in front of outsiders. Once a few people were alone, he was not so humble.
However, Sir Demerka knew that the Interior Official had a different relationship with Romon, so he thanked him politely and followed him in.
After arranging Sir Demerka to sit down in the living room, Nick apologized and went out to do business.
It was completely different from the cold outside, and the temperature inside was very high. Sir Demerka sat for a while and then sweated a little. As soon as he opened his robe, a cute little girl came over with a cup of tea.
"Sir, have a cup of tea first." The girl said with a smile.
"Yeah, okay, thank you." Sir Demerka took the tea and took a sip. He sipped it sweetly. Although the tea was hot, it calmed his current chaotic mood.
I sat down and waited for a while. When the door rang, a whirlwind and snowflakes floated in. Then, a sound of horse boots came from outside.
"Sir, you are back." The little girl just now ran out like a flying flew and helped take over the cloak or something. Then, Romon, wearing a clean tight suit, walked in from outside.
Sir Demerka quickly stood up and greeted Romon, his attitude obviously more polite and respectful than before.
This is a world with very strict hierarchy. A level of gap often brings a lot of changes.
When Romon and Sir Demerka were on par, they had a relationship of half-teacher and half-friendly, but now it is different. As a baron, Romon owns a large area of ​​land and his own baron castle. This change naturally has a different meaning in Sir Demerka's eyes.
This is no longer a matter of politeness or impoliteness, but a rule that must be followed.
