Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety-One: Later Plans [Ire]
"This, are you leaving?" a worker said something to keep, but his eyes were staring at the two jars of wine;
There are still a lot left, this guy shouldn't...
"Don't worry, I'll give these jars to everyone!" The wine seller's reassuring reply made the atmosphere of the banquet warmer again, "By the way, I have a few more words to explain to everyone--"
At this moment, the banquet is at its peak, and everyone is in a very good mood; the most important thing is that if you drink more, these people may not understand what the seller is going to say.
"It's like that. Our lord is going to do some construction in the territory recently." The wine seller lowered his tone. "I guess in a while, I may find everyone and do some work secretly..."
"Okay, but we have a living here, can't we go?" The answerer said with a hint of embarrassment, "If the nobles can't see us for a few days, they must drive us out of the city!"
"Of course our master has considered this! Don't worry, it won't take up too much time for everyone, and... how can you make it useless! The reward will definitely satisfy everyone! And, give the money first!"
Oh!?The workers exclaimed, is there such a good thing?
"Haha, I will tell you when you need everyone!" The wine seller bowed, "I hope everyone will support you more!"
"That's certain!" the workers responded with a smile, and the agreement between the two sides was reached so happily;
But the two people who watched from the abandoned house not far away were not very pleasant.
"It seems this guy is playing a big game." Aire looked at the wine seller leaving the room with a dark face, "Fran, can that magic be dealt with?"
"No need to deal with it." Fran continued to look at the magic circle, wanting to see if the wine seller would go to a secret place to meet with his companions: "When the magic is exhausted, it will naturally disappear completely - it will probably have an effect of one or two hours."
If you don't deal with it, it would be a bad idea to be discovered by the magicians in the north; now, you can't let the other party know that his plan has been noticed.
The same is true for not directly capturing him.
"Then the next question is..." Ailey rubbed his head, "Where are we living today? This broken place doesn't seem to be very good. Will you change to a larger ruin later?"
"It's almost done by someone. Also, what should I pay attention to is what to do with the count?" Fran sighed, "I'll talk about my opinion first. For the time being, I will definitely keep it a secret with the count."
"I don't plan to tell him either." Ailey scratched his head, "I... although I feel that the man is diligent, but... it is not necessarily reliable."
"His problem is that he is too anxious." Fran's eyes remained on the magic circle. "It can be seen from the progress of the reconstruction of the town that he is a person who is very eager to make achievements."
"That's right, so he would probably arrest all the workers in a hurry, and then... the plan would go bankrupt." Ailey looked across the street and could hear the noise of the second floor without magic and said: "They must have hidden a bigger conspiracy. There are definitely more than one person sent to sell wine, and there are definitely more than one person holding a banquet."
"Even if we force him not to arrest him, he will probably not be able to withstand and do something unexpected." Fran looked at the wine seller walking straight out of town and sighed: "We have to choose our teammates carefully. Aley, take advantage of this time, let's send about 500 soldiers to support the place."
"Those workers can't completely ignore it." Alay said as he picked up the communication magic crystal she carried with him. "I thought of a good way...but we have to rest early;"
“Hmm?”
"I have to afford to rush back to the castle early~"
...
The next morning, the castle;
They went to bed early and got up early; they finished washing before dawn, just to catch up with the time before work started.
The ten-husband who was patrolling at the door looked at the energetic Ailey in surprise; according to his estimate, Ailey should be a little tired at this moment...
Should we say that we are a noble or a young man? In short, we are so strong. The gaze of the tenth prince quickly changed from surprise to respect, but Ailei only felt a chill.
If it weren't for seeing that he personally delivered dry food last night, he would have to say to the count that he would replace him. As Ire thought so, he walked into the castle with Fran.
"He came so early, I really deserve to be two adults." The Count, who had just finished washing, was surprised to see the two of them coming. "I am really touched by the two of you so attentively about the situation in the town of Reven! Ah, do you dare to ask what clues did you get during the search? About those... cloth pieces?"
Huh, fortunately the soldiers did not report the workers' situation. Ailey breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to follow the words taught by Fran, and the problem of the cloth was covered up.
"Although there is no big problem with this piece of cloth, the situation of the workers here is not optimistic." Ailey shook his head slightly and said, "Can you really ensure that every worker is as motivated as you?"
"This... is naturally beyond my ability, and I hope Lord Irene makes it clear." The count guessed that Irene had something to say;
"I've seen the situation on your construction site. Although most people are very hard-working, there are always some scammers!" Ailey's voice raised two points, "You must not tolerate such people! Otherwise, the entire reconstruction process will be affected! The most intolerable point is being late!"
The Count continued to lower his head, and he knew that it would be enough to listen now.
"If it weren't for the need to hire people at this moment, I would have to let them suffer a little." Ailey breathed heavily, "Then replace corporal punishment in another way! Send the order! Prepare the black paint for construction! If anyone on the construction site is late in the future, apply a black paint on his face and do not wipe it for three days to show humiliation! If it is wiped... let's hit ten boards!"
"Yes..." The count didn't say anything on the surface, but he was muttering in his heart;
Do you think these workers are all nobles? They don’t care so much about honor... If the punishment for being late is this, they probably won’t care at all...
But there was no way, that's what people told me. The count had to call the attendants and ordered them to pass the content issued by Ire to various construction sites. The attendants were also a little confused. How could the heroes led by Ryin give such a weak order?
Alay smiled and nodded—of course he wasn't trying to humiliate the workers;
How could those who were having fun at the banquet until midnight get up this morning?
