Chapter 21 21. Territory
"My Lord, can I go back to visit my family?"
Lan Lan quietly approached Luo Wei with a pleading expression on her face.
"Sure." Luo Wei said without turning his head, with his hands behind his back, "There will be no salary during the visit. Lan Lan's salary is one silver coin a day. You'd better think it over carefully."
"Ah" Lanlan's ears drooped to the sides.
"But." Luo Wei changed the subject and looked at Lan Lan with a smile.
"But what?" Lanlan's ears perked up and his tail started wagging.
"If Lanlan can let me use her tail, I will agree to your request." The despicable Lovey took the opportunity to put forward conditions.
"No." Lanlan shook her head with a feverish face.
"Why?" Luo Wei was puzzled. "Don't you often lend it to me?"
"Helping you and lending it to you to play with are two different things!" Lan Lan raised her voice in embarrassment.
"It's okay, Lanlan, don't be stingy." Luo Wei tried to persuade him. Luo Deer's cold voice came to his ears, "Luo Wei, are you harassing the maid Miss Lanlan?"
"No, you heard it wrong." Lowe refused to admit it.
Lodel frowned coldly, "You have to know that the tail of a subhuman is equivalent to a sensitive part of a person. Imagine how you would react if someone tried to use force against you."
"Yeah." Lan Lan nodded in agreement.
"It's not that serious." Lowe never thought of hooking the tail and the handle. It was equivalent to hands and feet at most.
"Anyway, don't stroke my tail. If you really get me excited, I won't be able to control myself." Lan Lan bared his sharp canine teeth.
"Lovi, you are the lord. If you can't even guarantee your own seriousness and fairness, what kind of atmosphere will the entire territory be like?" Lodel asked righteously.
"I'm just a little frivolous in front of you. I will remain serious in the eyes of the people." Lovey's expression changed and he looked stern and unsmiling.
How to make people feel serious: Never smile and keep your eyes sharp.
Lodel nodded slightly, "Not bad, that's true."
After just a few seconds, Luo Wei's serious expression could no longer be maintained, and a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes. "This is very tiring, and I usually don't bother to use it."
"Please use it." Lodel looked at Lovi seriously, "If you stick to it for a long time, you will be respected and recognized like me."
Is it what you say to be respected? Sister! Luo Wei secretly complained.
Time passes by unknowingly.
The body's fatigue gradually accumulated and the temperature began to rise.
Under the scorching sun, Lovi drank the water handed to him by Lodel in big gulps. The bamboo tube had the fragrance of her lips and teeth.
He drank it all in just a few gulps.
He looked up at the sky. After coming to this world, Lovi had completely lost the concept of accurate time. The standard for measuring time was no longer hours, minutes, and seconds.
But the sky.
From dusk to dawn, one day moves forward on the calendar.
Then, if the sun was not obscured by clouds, he could roughly tell whether it was noon.
Along the way, Lovey was lost in thought and followed Lodel blindly.
The traveler ahead caught his attention.
The rabbit girl has two long ears and ruby-like eyes. She has a very delicate appearance.
But she is still not as cute as Lanlan because Lanlan has a tail.
"Strange, I remember there are no rabbits in the territory." Lodel said to himself.
The rabbit girl slowly walked up to him and started a conversation. "Excuse me, can this road lead to East Port City?"
"Sure." Laudel responded, "Just keep walking along this road and ask people when you meet them."
"Okay, thank you." The rabbit girl was very polite.
Luo Wei noticed the sword on her waist. To be brave enough to travel alone on this road, she must have at least the strength of the third level, right? Or the strength of the second level, and she can run very fast.
The Earldom of Evelyn, located on the eastern border, has never lacked adventurers.
The Donghuang primeval forest is like a huge undeveloped treasure house, attracting people from all over the world every year.
Most of these people traveled by boat, while a few chose to travel by land. There were also some strong ones who rode griffins or dragons.
Lodel's mother once appeared in Eastport City riding a dragon and gave Evelynn a dragon egg.
But unfortunately, this dragon egg has not hatched yet.
"By the way, Lanlan." Luo Wei thought of what happened just now.
"Master, do you want me to carry you?" The blue tail shook gently.
"No, didn't you say you wanted to go home to visit your family?" Luo Wei tried to test Lan Lan's reaction.
She looked confused, "Yeah, should I go or not?"
Lan Lan was in a dilemma. She had just forgotten about this matter. She just thought that she would rather not go back than allow Luo Wei to stroke her tail at will.
"I want to take a look around the territory, and I can go with you then." Lovi said this in front of Lodel.
"Lovi, you have to think carefully! It will take at least half a month to travel around the territory." Luodel began to calculate the time. "It takes three days to get from Huange Town to Dongwei City, five days to get from Dongwei City to Donglin City, and seven days to get from Donglin City to Donggang City. It only takes half an hour to get from Donggang City to Fulin Castle."
The geographical location of the three cities is almost an equilateral triangle, with Donglin and Donggang both on the coast, and Dongwei on the inland.
In addition to the three main cities in the territory, there are also many scattered villages and towns, such as Ice Wolf Village, Huan Ge Town, etc.
There are three cities, seven towns, and 28 villages in total. The total population was nearly 80,000 ten years ago.
This is not the exact number. There were many illegal immigrants in the territory at that time. But Evelin didn't bother to care. As long as you don't cause trouble and don't disrupt public order, everyone will live in peace.
No matter fugitives, slaves, etc. When other lords asked about it, she just pretended to be confused.
Therefore, he offended many people.
Evelyn was not popular among the lords. Perhaps it was because she never wanted to deal with the nobles. She not only disliked their cumbersome etiquette, but also their style.
It is common for lords in today's era to impose heavy taxes and impose hard labor on the people.
What's worse, some people treat their subjects as slaves and livestock, and do unthinkable things to them.
This world is dark, but Lowe doesn't see it. "I've thought about it. Since I'm the lord, I have to at least leave everyone with the most basic impression and confirm my rule. Also, I have to do a new round of census and recruit suitable government officials."
"It's good that you can think of these things. Do you want me to accompany you?" Lodel smiled faintly.
"I will only go if you accompany me. Otherwise, what if I get kidnapped by the rebels?" He was serious. Lovey really thought this was a possibility.
Mother Evelin doesn't look like a reliable person. After being a hands-off boss for too long, her subordinates will inevitably have other thoughts. For example, they will be out of control, pretend to obey but actually disobey, etc.
