Chapter 483 Oh! There should be a brave man to crush the conspiracy!

"Yizhu, come over here and give me a hand." A young man was ordered by the foreman.

"Oh, okay." Yi Er nodded quickly, then trotted over and picked up the bricks.

Yizier is an ordinary villager. The only special thing about him is that he had an ear whipped off by the lord's tax collector because he evaded taxes in the past.

Besides that, there's nothing special.

This summer, when the farming season officially began, the lord ordered them to come here to work.

Ordinary villagers like Yizier are not sad about losing the time to lie down and rest at home, but are happy instead.

Because the lord did not require us to bring our own dry food.

This means that if you come here to work, you will have food to eat.

This is a place I've never seen before.

But it doesn't matter.

There are many things he hasn't seen.

Every time I go into the city from the village, I see things I have never seen before.

There are things here that I have never seen before.

It's all the same, there is no difference, and it has nothing to do with him.

He was just assigned to work.

Carrying bricks is a job that suits him perfectly. He doesn't have much strength, but he can complete the job by carrying a little at a time and carrying it a few more times.

Then, as expected, there was food, and two meals in total, one for breakfast and now one for dinner.

And although the bread was hard and rough, what was quite shocking was that there were no stones.

If the villagers in this world open their mouths, most of them will have a mouthful of rotten teeth. The reason is very simple. There are always some stones in their food. If they are not careful, they will hit one of their teeth and a piece of it will be broken off.

After a long time, everyone will have rotten teeth.

Now Yizier is a little worried. Is he going to go to the battlefield next? He eats too well.

At the same time, Rand was inspecting another place.

Some people are eating here too.

He took a piece of bread and chewed it.

As expected of an inferior product, the taste is bad, but it is still within the realm of food. There are no stones or sawdust. There is a smell of alcohol and some strange smell, but it is not particularly strong.

Rand did not intend to provide these workers with too good food, as this would be detrimental to their subsequent work.

For example, someone might hide food and take it home, or a lord might suspect Rand of having ulterior motives, or the villagers might worry that the lord here is an evil witch and plans to use them for vicious magic experiments.

After dinner, we were arranged to rest in the dormitory.

Then Yizier was shocked to find that they were actually paid for their work here.

The salary is very low, very low for the villagers.

But here we have food and lodging, and wages! Rand actually pays the standard wages, but of course he also needs to consider the current political system, as these villagers belong to their lords.

Therefore, most of the wages generated by the work of these villagers are paid to their lords.

Rand would not go against the historical context of this world, otherwise he would obviously be deserted by everyone immediately.

What Rand can and needs to do is actually very simple.

Make everything a little better in the ways you can.

A little better is enough.

If we can be better in all aspects, little by little, we can make a big difference.

Rand has always preferred to eat one bite at a time rather than eating all at once to get fat.

So now, after Rand pays most of the wages to the villagers' lords, he will also pay these villagers a very small subsidy.

It's less than one-tenth of the normal salary.

But a little bit adds up to a lot, and maybe in a few years, a village can have enough cows.

Of course, it is possible that the money will be seized by the tax collectors as soon as they return, and that is something Rand cannot interfere with.

It finally got dark.

The dormitory was large, filled with a faint odor of sweat and sourness, and the beds between people could even be said to be a bit crowded.

But it wasn't particularly hot, and the taste wasn't overly strong.

Not sure where the ventilation was done.

Yizier had no complaints about this kind of environment. He had been conscripted to work by the lord before. Compared with that time, his current life was like a paradise.

The intensity of the work is not enough to strain the body, the living environment will not cause death from cold or heat, there is food to eat, and there is wages.

Yier lay on the straw mat, hugging a few copper coins in front of his chest. This money could not even buy a pound of bread, but if there was no cost to live here, it could obviously be saved.

…

At night, Rand returned to his bedroom behind the lord's hall.

Ellie is here tonight.

Rand sat on the edge of the bed, hugged Ellie, and then lay down on the bed with Ellie.

Ellie nudged Rand unhappily, then got up again. She was studying and marking the test papers of other wizards.

Written on newly made paper.

It's not very useful, but it can barely serve the function of paper.

After a while, Ellie finished grading the test papers, put them aside, and lay down under the quilt.

Rand was still awake at this time.

Ellie spoke up: "Elsa asked me to tell you that there is information."

"What?" Rand skillfully put his hand into Ellie's thin pajamas.

"Rommel's men should really go find that vassal of Count Dandelion."

Rand was naturally unaware of what happened in Count Dandelion's territory.

But Rand certainly wouldn't do nothing and let everything become passive.

The place where he led his army to destroy the last army of the undead and obtained the other hand bone.

Rand naturally had people stationed there.

The local lord and Count Dandelion took the credit for the final destruction of the undead army.

Rand remained silent about this, using these two as shields.

So Rand naturally needs to pay attention to the situation of the shield.

Now, something seems to have gone wrong with Earl Dandelion's vassal.

"Anything specific?" Rand asked after thinking.

"The intelligence reported by my subordinates does not contain any definite evidence, but the living habits of the local lord have changed. He used to come out frequently to make decisions, but now he rarely goes out. The intelligence personnel have reason to suspect that something is wrong."

Rand believed that the intelligence officers' judgment was reasonable.

Then the Azure King’s troubles are likely not far away. I hope they will go to Earl Dandelion instead of me, and then let Earl Dandelion shoulder the burden for them for a while.

Rand will definitely not give up what the Blue King wants.

Rand has a grudge against Grand Duke Vladimir. He also hates demons, and has formed a substantial hostility with the Blue King in secret.

In order to hide in the dark, Rand actually made a lot of preparations. When he went to destroy the last undead army, he did not show his flag. However, Rand's army was already very iconic, and it was obvious that even if the local lords did not recognize that it was Rand's army at the time, it would be easy to guess that it was Rand's army after analysis.

It is inevitable to be the enemy of the Azure King.

I just don’t know how important this prop is to the Blue King and to Grand Duke Vladimir.

The relationship between Rand and the White King is obvious. If the Blue King wants to attack Rand, he must consider the White King.

However, he may not be too worried. After all, the White King cannot leave the White Kingdom for too long, and many things are restricted.

But there is no point for Rand to think too much now. He has already made a lot of preparations, and he just needs to follow the steps from now on.

Rand developed a complete plan.

"Don't worry too much. At worst we can go ask my sister for help." Ellie comforted Rand when she saw him lost in thought.

Rand tilted his head and took a bite of Ellie.

Then he nudged Ellie and said, "Okay, then I'll ask my eldest brother-in-law to come forward."

Ellie couldn't help but smile that Rand still called her sister "brother-in-law". Judging from the time now, the reply to her sister's letter should be here soon.

I just don't know what my sister thinks.

"Then I'll sleep." Ellie closed her eyes.

Rand grinned and moved his hands.

…

The Blue King received the report.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Then we are not far from the truth." The Blue King whispered in the huge palace.

The captain of the vampire squad, who had always been calm and elegant in front of Count Dandelion, felt now on pins and needles.

"But you didn't do your job well." The Azure King looked at the vampire in front of him, "Forget it, you still brought back valuable information. The punishment this time will only be to reduce one feast."

The leader of the vampire team breathed a sigh of relief. Although reducing the feast was already a severe punishment and enduring hunger and thirst was extremely painful for vampires, it was better than...

"Okay, you can leave now." The Blue King ordered them to leave.

The vampire squad leader felt relieved and turned away.

The Azure King was not a merciful man, but he certainly would not execute his valuable subordinates at will.

It is not easy to train a top-level vampire, and he has already lost a top-level vampire inexplicably.

However, now that the key intelligence has been obtained, the next thing will be easy.

A mixed group of vampires and humans was no match for the prepared Count.

Otherwise, he, the Blue King, would have ruled the world long ago.

But to the Blue King, this team is just a special reconnaissance force.

Once the real combatants gather together, it is quite easy to destroy an earldom.

There are only two targets now, Earl Dandelion and Duke Rand of the Moon.

There should be no other problems.

Count Dandelion is not easy to deal with, but Rand is obviously more troublesome.

So the choice of the Azure King was also very simple, to start with the Dandelion Earl.

Pick the softest persimmons to squeeze first.

…

The next day, the morning light began to illuminate the earth. Yier finished his assigned breakfast and started his work.

There are only two meals for these migrant workers: breakfast and dinner, with no meals in between.

This is more in line with the living habits of these villagers. Three meals a day are only common in Rand's territory and are relatively rare in other places.

Today's job is still to move this brick.

Only some knights in the city could afford bricks.

The villagers only live in thatched houses, and the better ones may have wooden houses.

Stone houses are only built by villagers in very rare cases.

Most of the houses here are brick.

That's amazing.

Yizier envied the life here, but he knew he didn't belong here.

Yizier still plans to do his own thing first.

My colleagues around me are obviously working much harder than yesterday.

A simple reward can motivate them to work harder.

A group of horsemen passed by them, raising a little dust.

Some of the "workers" looked back, while others focused on the work in their hands.

Rand welcomed an unexpected guest.

"I am the butler of Earl Dandelion and the envoy of the Dandelion family." The old butler, who looked quite capable, performed an elegant ceremony and greeted Rand.

"What brings you here?" Rand asked.

"We have suffered an unknown attack. We guess it was caused by elves or vampires. We need your help." The old butler went straight to the point.

"What does this have to do with me?" Rand laughed.

"Lord Rand." The old butler looked up. A young man with black hair and black eyes was sitting on a huge seat that was totally inappropriate for his body shape. He had a calm temperament and a reserved edge, making it difficult to tell what he was thinking. "If we are destroyed, what good will it do you? On the contrary, as long as you are willing to support us, we can share the pressure."

Rand smiled and said, "You are too kind, Mr. Butler. How can I help you?"

"Excuse me...what is the enemy?" The old butler breathed a sigh of relief. If Rand really just sat back and watched, they would be helpless.

But as expected, Duke Rand of the Moon Phase is as far-sighted as the rumors say.

The founder of a family is always different from others, unlike those nobles who rely on the influence of their ancestors.

The inherited nobility has its merits and demerits, but a noble like Rand, who founded a ducal family from scratch, is obviously not an ordinary person.

"Vampire." Rand did not say the Blue King because it would not be credible and would weaken Count Dandelion's will to resist.

It won’t be too late to talk about it after we become completely hostile to each other.

As for why there is hostility.

The credit was taken by Earl Dandelion himself, wasn't it? "Then do you know where it came from?"

"Old thing from hell." The story of Grand Duke Vladimir is widely circulated, but to the humans in the main world, the threat posed by Grand Duke Vladimir is far less than that of the Blue King.

Because it is difficult for Grand Duke Vladimir to reach out to the main world, theoretically, it is not easy for this vampire Grand Duke to send messages to the main world.

"That thing..." the old butler asked hesitantly.

The only answer he got was silence.

The old butler did not ask any more questions and mentioned another matter: "Can you help us a little?"

"Of course, after all, we are all interdependent." Rand slowly stood up, then walked down the steps, looking at the old butler at eye level.

As for this idiom, it is naturally a translated version of the common language of the mainland.

"But..." Rand changed the subject, "We can actually get more people involved."

"What are you going to do?"

"Ancient vampires have suddenly become interested in the main world, and the demons of Purgatory have reappeared in this world. This makes us wonder if this vampire archduke is preparing some unspeakable evil conspiracy."

Rand's voice rose and fell.

“When the scarlet canopy covers the sky and the smell of sulfur fills the fields, a brave hero will stand up to destroy the evil plot.”

"Oh, did you hear? The King of the Night, who had been exiled from the evil purgatory for a thousand years, has awakened today! His cold eyes have been cast towards this mortal world,

Have you ever seen? Through the cracks in purgatory, the devil once again stepped into the world.

Fire and brimstone filled the shattered earth,

Scarlet as a curtain, swallowing up the sun, moon and stars!

This arrival is definitely not without reason. Is there an unfathomable conspiracy hidden under this silence?"

"To put it in human terms, vampires are naturally evil creatures and are the common enemy of mankind. We can invite more human forces to fight against them together."

"As to whether there is a conspiracy or not, it is not important."
