Adrian reconciled with the family lightly, or it should be said that Adrian had no intention of falling out with the family. He wanted to add the words "order is above all" to the letter to the patriarch, just because
The incident happened suddenly, and I just felt aggrieved because of a cold arrow shot from within the family.
It was an uncomfortable feeling. After all, Adrian had just given 20 kilograms of tea to help Aasta gain the upper hand in the face-fighting battle between the three supreme royal courts. Aasta also repaid the Foehn Wind Windflee family for their support.
In any case, the result of this incident is that the Foehn Windflee family has benefited from Adrian, and it is an extremely huge benefit.
But then the family sent Adrian a basin of dirty water like a low-level water elf and a small nobleman. This made Adrian unable to help but feel betrayed, and also made Adrian unable to help but feel extremely hurt.
It was a huge grievance, so from a historical perspective, adding the words "order above" to the letter was nothing more than an irrational decision made by Adrian in anger.
Adrian, who later calmed down, thought carefully about the cause, consequences and process of the incident. After interrogating the low-level water elf noble who had been bound to the Cauldron of Creation in a place where no one else was, Adrian
An found out that this matter was indeed not someone in the family targeting her, and it was also true. At most, the family only had one sin that could breed moths.
This low-level water elf aristocrat came to the Solar Storm Territory. In fact, as he said, it was his own decision. He just wanted to sacrifice his life for Adrian, who had made his life struggle so difficult.
Enemies who are stupid throw a basin of dirty water at me.
Then he infiltrated the Nibelungen as a fanatical admirer of Adrian's "Encyclopedia Natural History of Grünsen Tower" and escaped by bribing the head of the employment office of the Foehn Windfleet family.
There should have been extremely strict verification.
The amount of money he bribed the former director of the employment agency made Adrian a little angry and a little laughable. It was only less than a hundred magic crystals. Although the brothers Ralph and Alfred, who had the highest salaries under Adrian,
They can only take away 80 magic crystals from Adrian every year.
But although one hundred magic crystals is an astronomical number to the lower elves, if these one hundred magic crystals are to be obtained at the cost of life, it would be too powerful to make them faint. Yes,
At the cost of his life, Adrian did not intend to let the former director, who had become a slave, live too long.
He and his relatives will become the forest pioneers of the Solar Storm Territory, going deep into the forest to help the Solar Storm Territory find suitable settlement sites to build villages. If such wild development can still allow him to survive,
Then he will become a hard worker laying the foundations of these villages, and he must show his value before he dies anyway.
Don't think that Adrian is cruel. He is a chicken killed for the monkeys. Morality can only convince people, but it cannot deter them. A qualified lord must use both kindness and power to maximize the benefits of all servants, vassals and free people.
The control is in your own hands, otherwise you will be waiting to breed moths and be sidelined at critical moments.
When the former director put the hundred magic crystals into his pocket, he should have thought of the consequences of today. Any adult creature that has lost its childishness should pay the price for its actions.
, not to mention that this world called Splendi is still a hierarchical world?
Just like Adrian now, when he made the decision to escape the fate of being a chess piece of the Lord of the World, he was actually prepared to fight for it for a long time and even pay for it with his life.
After explaining the misunderstanding with Adrian, the patriarch hurried back to the Nibelungen with the ten kilograms of tea specially sent by Adrian. Don't think that the patriarch is very idle, having reached the position of the head of a large aristocratic clan.
, even just making decisions and controlling the general direction is enough to keep the patriarch busy.
As soon as the patriarch left, only the freedmen who had been detained for a long time and the more than a hundred new slaves who had just come with the patriarch were left at the mouth of the valley. Adrian looked at Harper.
Ralph, just as he was about to say something, the former director, who had become a slave, rolled away from the guard and threw himself on his knees five meters in front of Adrian.
"Young Master Adrian... Master Adrian, I know that my sins are unforgivable, and I do not ask for your forgiveness, but please see that I have been fighting for my family all my life, and it was only in my later years that I was blinded by interests.
For the sake of this one, don't drive my grandchildren into the forest to die, I won't come back alive..." This guy is considered smart and knows that he won't survive.
Adrian raised a sarcastic smile on his lips: "It seems that you know that you will not survive. You are not very stupid, but why should I accept the request of a criminal slave?"
Adrian's eyes traveled across his face, then extended back to his relatives, and finally returned to his face again. The expression on the slave's face had turned into a hopeless gray, and
His relatives, especially the children who were obviously underage, when Adrian glanced over, tried their best to hide themselves behind others. They didn't understand why this was the case, obviously in a person.
A few months ago, they were a respected family in the Nibelungs.
Adrian still relented. It wasn't that Adrian suddenly wanted to be a virgin bitch, but that he really couldn't make the decision to kill the children, even if they were the descendants of criminal slaves. Adrian sighed,
He turned to Harper and ordered:
"Harper, pick out all the minors and put them among your original subordinates. Give them a way to survive, but they will not enjoy the right to promotion like your former subordinates."
Harper saluted Adri's chest and said with a smile: "Praise you, my merciful master, and the three highest gods bless you."
Adrian waved his hand. After all, he did not say that the three supreme gods could not protect me. He once again glanced at the free people who had been recruited and said: "Ralph, organize all the new slaves who have reached adulthood into the forest."
Go inside the exploration team. Remember, I don’t want to see anyone come back alive. In addition, all free citizens who are recruited will be given a magic crystal as compensation. They are willing to stay in the Solar Storm Town and can afford to live in the Elf Town.
Leave all the treehouses in the forest, and give some help to those who are willing to open villages in the forest. Well, let’s arrange three villages for the time being. Arrange a village at the atoll hunting ground, and you can figure out the rest by yourselves.”
After hearing Adrian's words, the new slave just kept kowtowing to Adrian. The relatives behind him had different expressions. Some looked at their children with the eyes of those who had survived the disaster, and others looked at them.
He showed a look of despair.
But those freedmen who had been detained for a long time burst into loud cheers, and some even cheered to Adrian:
