Conquest

    Chapter 476 [Pit ………]

    There was a lot of military work in the military camp outside the city that needed to be dealt with. This made Shaar very speechless. The guys who were under the arm had joined the "wedding preparatory committee". Shaar really doubted whether the guys were deliberate. Use this excuse to passively work and be lazy.

    In the military camp, he checked the map of the land that was recently counted, and after issuing the roster of the land that was sealed down, he signed a few documents about the land statistics sent by local officials in Siltan County.

    The work of these cases made Shaar very helpless. He is not good at these things at all, and he doesn't like it very much.

    After a little bit of hard work on the scalp, Shaar suddenly slaps his head.

    I am not good at this, but there are people who are good at it.

    Soon, he summoned his chief of guards and sent people to Sophie.

    Sophie also arrived in Denzel City with the brigade and temporarily settled in the city. The place of residence was close to the Daphne Queen's office. I heard that after she arrived in Denzel City, she had privately visited the Queen. – After all, she is a disciple of Carvesylver, probably recognized Daphne before.

    Sophie was soon invited by the bodyguard. When she came to the barracks, the young girl rolled her sleeves and had a little sweat on her forehead. Her face and hair were stained with some white powder, as if flour.

    "what's the matter? General Lord. ”Sophie looked very dull: "I am making dinner at home."

    "Dinner",Shaar has some doubts.

    "Yes, I am preparing myself to bake."Sophie faintly said.

    Shaar immediately realized that he seemed to have missed something: after Sophie came to Denzel City with himself, she had not had much time to settle the girl. She lived alone, and even the servants around her were very scarce. Do you cook yourself every day?

    "Today, I have to send two female waiters from my house to take care of Sophie. Also, send a small team of guards to protect the safety of Sophie. Just follow her assignment. From now on, she is my chief screen chief. ”

    Shaar reaffirmed the title of the "chief chief of staff", but in fact he even blushes himself. Because this so-called chief of staff is simply a light pole commander.

    Sophie was undecided about Shaar's arrangement. Shaar was a little embarrassed: "From today on, your daily diet will be taken care of. As my chief of staff, you have the power to read the documents sent and help me. I give you the power to make decisions. You only need to report it to me every day. Furthermore,What is your reward…"

    Shaar thought for a moment: "Do you have any requirements?"

    "I am a lonely girl, it is useless to have so much money."Sophie’s tone is very dull: “I can eat and wear, but I have some requirements. I don’t like to live in a military camp. I live in the city. You give me a horse carriage. It’s big enough to pick me up from the city every day. In and out of the military camp outside the city, I still need you a warrant, I can go into the city at will, regardless of day and night. andShaar, I need you a promise. ”

    CommitmentShaar looked at the girl in front of her eyes.

    Sophie sighed: "Because the old words are against the ears, you must promise me, no matter what dissatisfaction I will say to you in the future, even if you will make you angry and make you hate me, you must not kill me because of my words. !"

    Shaar smiled. He felt that the request was ridiculous: "Do you think I am the kind of person?"

    "Now is not, the future…It’s hard to say.Sophie’s tone is very serious: “Anyone who has been sitting in a high position for a long time will change his mindset. Since ancient times, the emperor has killed more loyal ministers, and it must not be a stupid emperor. The wise emperor will also kill people because of his dissatisfaction. ”

    Shaar couldn't help but ***: "Hey, I am not an emperor!"

    Sophie has already retired, went to the door and smiled softly: "We are walking."

※※※

    Directly appointed the chief of staff, Shaar threw the documents to the young girl – he would not feel irresponsible at all, anyway, instead of taking the land as a substitute, it was also from Sufi’s idea, and she It is better to perform it.

    After taking off one of the biggest burdens, our General Lord was shamelessly playing a bad idea.

    "I haven't been to visit our dear Dwarf brothers for a long time. I have to visit them."

    Shaar’s “Dear Dwarf Brothers” has been living outside of Denzel City for a few months.

    The four hundred Dwarfs who came to give gifts last time were arranged to live in a separate military camp outside the city. The gifts from Dwarf, Shaar have not been officially taken over, and Dwarf is stubborn and always has to I saw Merlin.

    The four hundred Dwarf's Chief, the guy named Rock, inherits the glorious tradition of Dwarf's stubbornness.

    In his words, "Our Dwarf Grey Beard is ordering me to celebrate General's wedding, so we can't go back until General is married."

    Therefore, four hundred Dwarf, the peace of mind here lived a white and white day.

    I have to say that although Dwarf is not in harmony with humans, Dwarf likes human food.

    Compared to Dwarf, human food is more beautiful and delicious, soft bread, and meat with various sauces, which Dwarf can't do.

    This is really a wonderful thing.

    Dwarf specializes in metal smelting technology, they can create the most excellent weapon equipment, at a glance to identify the advantages and disadvantages of various iron ore, but can not tell the difference between sweet tomato sauce and honey sauce.

    Although Shaar has experienced wars here, the food is not rich, and even some simple, but for Dwarf, it is already delicious.

    Moreover, staying at Shaar is a guest, do not have to work every day, and some people bring beautiful food to enjoy, and 400 Dwarf are not in a hurry to go home.

    Even some Dwarf can't wait for the General Lord to never get married, so it's been a decade and eight years!

    In any case, the life of Dwarf is much longer than that of humans. An ordinary Dwarf can live for more than two hundred years. They have time to squander.

    When Shaar came to Dwarf's residence, the Dwarfs had just eaten.

    These Dwarf eat five meals a day: breakfast, Chinese food, lunch, dinner, and night meals.

    Probably to supplement the consumption of their strong and strong body.

    The arrival of Shaar was welcomed by Dwarfs.

    At least the guy named Rock, who had been drinking Shaar for a few months, finally gave Shaar some good looks.

    "Respected General, welcome, we are just eating, are we going to be with us?"

    The rock is very warm, but Shaar secretly grins: damn it, all of Father's food, used to ask Father to eat, this person is really cheap!

    However, his face also burst into a warm smile: "No, no, I have already eaten, you please enjoy me, I just drop by to see my Dwarf brothers, because of the delay of my wedding, let You have delayed too much time here, it is really awkward for my host."

    The rock has wiped his mouth and laughed loudly: "You are welcome, respected General, you are the best guest, we have had a great time here."

    (Father is a little unpleasant, four hundred Dwarfs have a meal of 2,000 people!)

    "I am coming today, there is something I want to discuss with you."Shaar smiled quietly.

    The rock had no idea where a cup of hot water came from in front of Shaar, then sat across from Shaar, and found a bovine comb from his arms, carefully combing his long beard.

    He combed very seriously and carefully.

    This is what makes Shaar feel very strange: these Dwarfs can not take a bath for ten days, but it takes at least an hour to comb their beard every day. Dwarf's cherish for his beard is unimaginable to other races.

    If you want to anger a Dwarf, the best way is to despise his beard, then the other party will be thundering!

    The rock beard, when standing, can be dragged to his toes, and the long beard is combed into two beautiful knots, and some dense braids are attached to the side. The guy patiently combed the numbers together, listening to Shaar's words, this seemingly honest Dwarf, but a cunning look that did not match his appearance.

    "Respected Lord, you are the owner of hospitality, Dwarf is willing to be your friend. But I have to explain that when we came, the great Greybeard King gave us the task of just giving gifts. Other things, we can't help, if you want to build a weapon for your army, I'm sorry, we can't contribute our craft to any other race until we get the order of the Grey Beard. ”

    Damn it. Shaar is in the big heart.

    Don't create a weapon for me. What does Father raise to do with your big belly?

    Dwarf can't build a weapon, what is the value?

    I didn't expect to block the death of the other person in one sentence. Shaar was not reconciled: "But, anyway, you are idle here, I just need to build a little weapon to arm my guards…"

    "I can only say that I am sorry."Rock shook his head: "We can't build a weapon for your army. ButWe have other skills in Dwarf. We are good at hole excavation. If you want to do something, we are willing to give you some strength. ”

    Digging?

    Shaar sweated a bit and thought: What do you want to do to dig your soil? Have you buried a big pit to bury you all?

    Shaar was a little disappointed, and his look could not help but be ugly.

    After all, the rock is still a loyal Dwarf. He hesitated and whispered: "Although the Grey Beard has a command, we are not allowed to build a weapon for the human army…However, you are our friend, although we can't build a weapon for your army. But as a friend, Dwarf has created one or two things for friends privately, which is still in line with our tradition. ”

    "Oh?"Shaar's eyes lit up, but then it faded: "Can you only build it for me?"

    “Yes, Dwarf can only build things for his true friends.”The rock said that the nail was cut.

    Shaar stood up and walked back and forth two steps. He suddenly laughed at the thigh and said, "Okay. Then just say it! I will ask you to help me build some of my personal equipment, this requirement is not too much! ”

    "Of course, we can do it at any time."

    Shaar laughed and immediately said loudly: "Okay, I need ten sets of cavalry heavy armor, ten sets of warriors are heavy, ten sets of contempt…"

    Wait! Ten sets? ! ”The rock hurriedly shouted Shaar: "You won't misunderstand what I mean? What I am saying is that I can only give you personal…"

    "I am giving me one person."Shaar is in the right color, and the righteous words are loud and loud: "You may not know, I am already aristocrat of the Byzantine Empire! Duke do you understand? In the ranks of the empire's aristocrat, outside the emperor, in addition to the prince, the duke is the greatest and most expensive! For aristocrat, who is distinguished by me, a duke's equipment must have many sets! As a tutor, there is identity, there is a culture, there is a traditional noble aristocrat, our equipment must be replaced! We wear a set on the 1st of each month, a set on the 2nd, and the 3rd is the day to worship God. We must change the white one. The fourth is the day we worship the ancestors. We must wear black! The fifth day is the day when I meet the subordinates and the family members. I must wear red! The sixth is the day to pay homage to God…"

    "wait wait wait! You just said that you have already worshipped God once. ”The rock is loud and ***.

    "I believe in two religions at the same time! We human beings are the kingdom of civilization! Our laws give us the power to enjoy religious ***! ”

    The rock felt that his poor brain was not enough.

    As a traditional Dwarf, he does not know about human beings. He has never dealt with humans before, nor has he traveled to the human world.

    Dwarf *** said: "God! Believe in two religions? Also believe in two different Gods? Then, how is that going? ! Do you humans actually have this kind of law? But what if your two religions have conflicts with each other? ”

    Shaar smiled very surprised: "Don't you know that we humans have something called 'parliament'? With differences, everyone has a good fight in the parliament and convinced the other side of the debate. ”

    "Unbelievable! Unbelievable! ! ”The rocks screamed again and again.

    "Mm."Where did you just say? Well, in addition to the armor, I need ten sets of spear, ten sets of sabers, ten sets of big swords, ten sets of horn hammers, ten sets of riding shields, ten sets of step shields…"

    Seeing that the rock is still ***, Shaar has a big face: "I am a noble aristocrat! Within the empire, only the emperor and the prince are bigger than me! With such a noble status as me, would you think that I would only use a weapon like a beggar? The habit of our aristocrat is that anything can be thrown away just a few times…"

    "This, this is too wasteful!"The rock has widened its eyes.

    "This is our tradition of aristocrat! Please respect our tradition of aristocrat! ”Shaar's statement.

    There reallyCan things be thrown away with a few times? Such a waste……Such a waste……"

    Shaar shook his head: "Aristocrat's life is like this, throwing away things, anyway, throwing them away."

    The rock suddenly turned his eyes and looked at Shaar’s eyes: "So…I have seen you twice…The last time you wore this robes on your body, exactly the same…Is it also thrown away? ”

    "Of course I do."Shaar barely smiled and nodded.

    "Since throwing it away…It’s better to give it to me…This dress feels like a precious silk of mankind…"

    The rock couldn't help but use his dirty hand to squat on Shaar's cloak.

    "Give you!"Shaar took the precious silk robes off the scalp and threw it to the rock.

    The rocky eyebrows opened his eyes and looked at the belt at Shaar's waist: "Oh, this belt is made of the skin of the lion beast? I see how many times you have worn it…"

    "Give you!"Shaar also picked it up.

    "And the ring on your finger, it seems to be the finest crystal…"

    Shaar quickly picked it up and threw it.

    and

    Seeing this odious Dwarf continue, Shaar quickly stopped him: "If you go on, I will go out."

    This is the rock, holding Shaar's fine silk robes, the top of the lion's skin, the precious crystal stone ring, and the eyebrows.

    "You see, these are our traditions."Shaar sighed: "Now, my dear Dwarf brother, can you promise me to build some of my own equipment?"

    The rock's answer made Shaar vomit blood on the spot!

    This seemingly honest and honest man shook his head slowly and firmly with a kind of honesty, and said: "Lord…Maybe my brain is not smart, but I am not a fool. ”

    Damn it ! Was played by this honest man!

    Shaar ate a cockroach and left with anger.

    I rushed back home, and even the clothes were too late to wear, and went straight to the backyard.

    The people who arranged in the backyard were still staring there, and Shaar said loudly: "Is Merlin coming out?"

    "No.The servant answered cautiously.

    Shaar rushed straight to the door and shouted at the inside and shouted: "Hey!! Your son is being bullied! You can't come out! ! ”

    After a moment, Merlin’s impatient voice came: “What happened?”

    "Dwarf bullies me! He promised me not to accept the bill! ”

    Shaar naturally refused to say that he was pitted by the honest Dwarf.

    Merlin's voice came out again from inside: "Dwarf bully you? How do they have this courage? ”

    "That's the way it is, can you help me?"

    After a while, Merlin’s words finally came out: “You go to Dwarf and say if they are doing it to you, I will go and turn that gray beard into a frog for a year.”

    Shaar immediately smiled.

    Can be…

    Yeah

    Wait!

    Merlin is talking about "again" to turn gray beard into a frog.

    Why do you want to say "re-"?

    Did she ever…

    However, these things don't have to be carefully thought out. Shaar rushed back to the Dwarf station outside the city. This time he didn't bother to pretend to be a hospitable host, and directly mentioned the rock to himself.

    "Merlin said, if you can't satisfy me, your gray beard will become a frog again. Choose it yourself! ”

    The wrinkles on the rock face immediately tangled into a ball. After a long time, he took a deep look at Shaar.

    " Count you hate! Ok, let's go to a list! ”

    Shaar, who left the Dwarf station, suddenly felt a sense of ignorance.

    Damn it, no wonder so many people are envious of the second generation of the official, gambling rich second generation! There is a strong mother, it really is cool!

    Hey, isn't the rock a list?

    "Come on! Let me move the equipment *** booklet prepared by our military logistics department this year! ”
