Chapter 204 Uncle, do you want to be a count? (44)
After a while, Rosen came to the hound house.
The Hound House is in the Lower City, where the largest number of refugees are.
There was already a large circle around the entrance of the Hound House, with hundreds of people holding various containers, including broken bowls, rotten pots, wooden spoons, and even clean toilets.
As long as it can hold something, it will be held in someone's hand.
As expected, Xia Bolay was there, standing at the door holding a demon-slaying knife, with Harik beside him.
Harrick was distributing boiled salted potatoes to the refugees, shouting while dividing them: "Don't crowd, don't crowd, I cooked a lot, everyone can share!"
Chapollet acted in blackface.
"Look at my knife! I'll cut whoever squeezes you!"
Seeing that the two of them were safe and sound, Rosen was slightly relieved. He jumped off the roof and slowly landed at the door.
When Xia Bolay looked at him, his face suddenly beamed with joy: "Rosen, why are you here?"
He still doesn't know Rosen and Harrick's plan.
Rosen smiled: "I'm afraid something might happen, so I came to see Uncle Harrick."
Harrick chuckled: "What can happen to me?"
While talking, he and Rosen looked at each other, saying nothing.
Then, he looked at the refugees again and sighed.
"It's pity for them. There was a rebellion in Crescent Town. Many people fled all the way south. Many of them didn't eat for two or three days."
"The adults are fine, but the children are unbearable to watch."
Rosen quickly looked around at the refugees and saw that everyone was in a stable mood. He walked to a man who had finished eating potatoes and asked, "Man, what happened in Crescent Town?"
Patsy currently doesn't have many people, and the information is collected from around Silver Moon Castle. She doesn't know much about the details of Crescent Town, so he has to ask for first-hand information to supplement it.
The man was a little depressed and his face was full of frustration. When Rosen asked, he immediately found an outlet.
He spat hard on the ground, with a look of resentment on his face.
"Mayor Samler doesn't care about people. He just started clearing land and sowing seeds for a few days, and the seedlings haven't grown yet, so he arrests people to work."
"It's both a fortress and a castle, but if people don't have enough to eat, they'll be whipped if they don't work. If anyone talks back, they'll be hung up for a day and a night!"
"There was a heavy rain a few days ago, and many places were flooded. The sparse crops were also flooded. I couldn't even eat enough, and I had to pay food taxes!"
"With a mayor like this, staying in Crescent Town will definitely lead to death."
After a pause, a trace of joy appeared on his face.
"Iron-armed Luofanle couldn't stand it anymore, so he led a group of brothers and set a fire beside the wooden castle. While Samler's guards were busy putting out the fire, they chopped off Samler's head with a knife, hehehe!"
"I just don't have the ability. If I have the ability, I will join the Iron Arm Army and kill the vampires of Silver Moon Castle!"
Rosen was startled: 'There is still an Iron Arm Army! It seems that Crescent Town has been completely corrupted.'
This is really big!
There was no emotion on his face: "Is Iron Arm Luo Fanle a warrior?"
This Luofanle killed Fubosi's brother-in-law, which completely intensified the conflict. I'm afraid he was a pawn arranged by Feilun.
"Well, he is a mercenary from Yuehui Town, he is very powerful!"
It is indeed a chess piece.
Because mercenaries travel everywhere to take on missions, they are well-informed, have an eye for money, and have good skills, so they are the most useful chess pieces.
Rosen asked again: "How did you get into the city?"
The man's face suddenly showed a vigilant look: "What does this have to do with you?"
Rosen immediately took back two salted potatoes from Harrick and handed them to the man's hand while whispering advice.
"Man, you can't hide such a big thing. It will be leaked sooner or later. Tell me quietly and I will give you two more potatoes."
The first half of the sentence lowers vigilance, and the second half of the sentence is tempting, and the man can't handle it immediately.
"I don't know much, but I heard someone said it was because there were people in the city who took care of me."
"Anyway, as long as you wait outside each city gate before the sun rises, the gate will open. Once the gate opens, squeeze in as hard as you can to find a way out."
Rosen understood and took two more potatoes and handed them to the man's arms.
Then, he walked up to Chapollet and whispered softly: "Uncle, do you want to be a count?"
Xia Bo Lai's body shook violently, and the demon-slaying knife in his hand almost fell to the ground.
After a while, he regained his composure, glared at Rosen, and growled: "What are you talking about?!"
Rosen whispered again: "The Earl handed over Crescent Town to Fubos, but Fubos behaved like this. If uncle can clean up this situation, who is the Earl if you are not the Earl?"
Chabolai's heart was shaken again, and he was breathing heavily. A trace of red appeared on his dark face, showing his agitated mood.
After a while, he let out a long breath: "Rosen, I don't have the ability to clean up the mess."
Rosen smiled slightly: "Uncle, of course you are not alone, but we will help you."
"I, Harik, will do my best to help you. I will also convince the temple to support you, and convince the temple to send mages to support you!"
"The earl also values you very much. As long as you do well, he will definitely stand by your side. When the time comes, who can stop you from becoming the new earl?"
Chabollet's hand holding the knife trembled uncontrollably again.
But unlike the previous time, where I was horrified, this time I was excited and incredible.
He stared at Rosen with big eyes: "You didn't lie to me?!"
Rosen is no longer a nobody now.
His fame spreads all over the Huangshui Highlands, and has even spread to other places. He is a rising star of the Temple Sect and one of the scheduled mage leaders of the Temple Sect.
He is now less than 17 years old, and his own magic achievement has already reached the mid-level eight-star level, and he even defeated the powerful Necromancer in a head-on magic duel.
He is also a mage of divine grace and deeply favored by the gods.
If such a person is really determined to support him, he will indeed be able to gather a huge force.
This power, coupled with the secret support of his aunt, can indeed give him the power to compete with his elder brother.
Of course, it's not enough at ordinary times, but the eldest brother messed up!
Rosen stared into Chabolai's eyes: "Uncle, you know, I never say anything I'm not sure about. So I just ask you, do you want to do it?!"
Xia Bolai felt that his heart was beating very fast and his chest was a little tight. He had never been so nervous in his life.
He breathed heavily and held the handle of the knife tightly, his knuckles so white that he couldn't even hide his dark skin.
It took him a long time to regain his composure, but his mind was still agitated, and his eyes were bloodshot due to excitement.
He stared at Rosen and asked in a low voice: "Rosen, why do you want to help me like this? What do you want?"
After all, he came from a noble family, and the education he had been exposed to since childhood made him know that there is no free support in this world.
Even if there is, it won't last long, and it must be supported by interests.
At this time, Xia Bolay concentrated his mind and became completely serious.
"Rosen, I want to hear your truth!"
Of course, when it comes to such a big matter, you have to tell the truth, and both parties should not have the slightest doubt in their minds, otherwise, over time, it will definitely lead to disaster.
Rosen first released a silent barrier around the two of them, and then stared closely at Xia Bolai.
"Two reasons."
"First, I said in White Horse Town that if I have the opportunity, I will repay you greatly. I have never forgotten this sentence!"
Xia Bolai was startled, and suddenly felt deeply moved in his heart.
"I thought this was just a joke of yours, but I didn't expect you would still remember it. What about the second one?"
"After Crescent Town is built and uncle becomes the new earl, I want to become the baron lord of Crescent Town. This will not only guard the northern border of Huangshui Highlands for you, but also allow me to control more resources to focus on the study of magic.
.”
He sighed with emotion: "Uncle, you don't know that if you want to study higher-order and more powerful logic spells, you won't be able to do it without enough resources."
Natural spells save money, but there are too many loopholes in natural spells, many of which even the mage himself is not aware of.
Learning those things is almost a waste of life.
Chabolai understood. He patted Rosen on the shoulder hard and promised in a loud voice.
"Rosen, from now on, you are my brother! You help me become Count Omicia, and I will make you a baron, so that you can pursue magic without any worries!"
With the full support of a figure like Rosen, Chabolai clearly felt that he would be able to defeat his elder brother and become the Count of Omicia!
And being granted the title of Baron by Rosen was a natural repayment, and he was willing to do so.
As for Harik, there is no need for Chabollet to promise.
If Rosen becomes a baron, even if Chaballet does not knight him, Rosen, as a baron, can be knighted himself.
He narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said softly: "Uncle, let's get started!"
Xia Bolay scratched his head: "How to do it?"
Rosen smiled slightly: "Leave this to me. You can rush back to the city defense barracks immediately to do two things."
"First, tell the commander of the military camp that you have a way to evacuate the refugees, and ask him to tightly restrain his officers to prevent anyone from leaving alone."
"Stay steady for at least an hour!"
The commander of the city defense camp was a very powerful warrior named Campland Banks.
This man is known as the Silver Moon Sword God. He was supported and trained by the Earl, and he is a die-hard loyalist of the Omicia family.
Therefore, he will definitely cooperate with Chapollet fully.
As he spoke, Rosen handed over a box of rune stones and at the same time placed a high-dexterity constant gravity shield on Shapolai.
"Remember, the square shape is the gravity shield, the circle shape is the big jump technique, and the diamond shape is the Thro charge. The belt is open for use!"
He has used these gravity rune stones for Xia Bolay before, so he is not worried about problems due to unfamiliarity with them.
Xia Bolay was shocked: "Is there anyone in Silver Moon Castle who dares to touch me?!"
Rosen smiled: "Of course I won't touch you openly, but I can slow you down. And now, every minute is very precious."
Not to mention anything else, as long as Faerun arranges for a gravity mage to hide in a dark place and secretly levitate Xia Bolay in the air for half an hour, wouldn't it be a shame?
Xia Bolay understood and nodded to express his understanding: "What about the next step?"
"Second, bring out your six teams of Silver Moon Rangers and send a few people here to maintain order. Others, including you, uncle, follow me to the temple."
"When the time comes, I will convince Priest Fa'ao to support you."
"Convince Priest Fa'ao. Why?"
"I have my own chips, go ahead, uncle."
"good!"
Chabolai put away his sword, mounted his horse, and galloped towards the military camp.
