"Pay tribute to you, dear Lord ruven Fred. Our family has settled in shenlinbao since 300 years ago. Since then, we have been loyal to the Fred family..."

    The old man standing under the steps of the castle hall kept talking. The young count sat in a chair, supported his chin with his right elbow, waved his hand impatiently and motioned him to say something quickly.

    This is the twentieth time he has heard such an opening speech today. It has no freshness at all, leaving only boredom.

    The flustered old aristocrat quickly shut his mouth and began his "performance" with a lifeless tone, as if reading some hypnotic song.

    Although the weather has entered winter, everyone standing in the hall still doesn''t feel any cool. It becomes extremely stuffy against the background of the mosquito like sound of the old noble. Every face is listless. The whole castle hall is surprisingly quiet.

    Will senna, standing on the right side of the hall, holding a shorthand board in one hand, recorded quickly with a quill pen. I couldn''t hear what he said except the brush of the nib.

    As the captain of the guard, sir Aaron stood outside the hall, enjoying the cold winter wind and the killing scenery, just like the lonely knight in the oil painting, watching the land he guarded outside the castle.

    Only on the side of Lu Wen''s body, Loren had to endure the magic sound of the old aristocrat and keep a formulaic smile, like a clay statue.

    If he had a choice, he would rather make an exchange with Asriel - some "ungrateful" bird flew away from the hall in half a day.

    After the old man finished his statement, the count, who didn''t understand what he said, sent him away with a few words. Then he made a deep cry and stared at will Senna: "how many are left?"

    "Today?" the attendant quickly looked for it, then swallowed his saliva and looked at the count with a little fear: "there are 45 people left, but as long as you need to receive again..."

    "I don''t want to see any of them!" Lu Wen, who seemed to be frightened, suddenly stood up from his chair and grumbled: "the Holy Cross is his grandmother. I''m here to be a count, not a nanny for them!"

    Well... This can''t be known to the church, Lauren said. But in fact, he agreed with Lu Wen in his heart. These people who came to him were basically for some trivial things, and they didn''t need the count to preside over justice at all.

    "But this is the duty of the count." will senna, who was scolded, shrunk his neck in fear and replied with a hard head, "you are the law of this land. We can only ask you to judge right and wrong."

    "I don''t care. Let the rest come back tomorrow!" Luwen was completely impatient and said hello to the black haired wizard behind him: "Loren, come outside with me for some air!"

    Glancing at the count who had left by himself and the attendant who was stunned in place, Loren sighed and patted will on the shoulder: "let the rest come tomorrow. The count must be unwilling to comment today."

    "How on earth should I explain to them?" will looked like he was about to cry. "I''m just a servant. They won''t take me seriously!"

    "Then I can''t help either." Lauren shrugged helplessly. "They certainly won''t listen to me as a wizard."

    Leaving the "desperate" attendants, the bored young count has left Shenlin castle with several knights and galloped along the river outside the castle.

    The whole Shenlin castle is not only the core of the count''s leadership, but also overlooks the whole wilderness from the top of the tower. Near the section along the river in the East, there are rows of orchards and large farms, dotted with several small villages and towns; To the west is a dense forest, which is an important hunting ground led by the count, and several logging yards are located.

    Shenlin castle is not a rich land. The food in the land can only maintain the rations of the local people. The only specialty is the precious wood and ancient wood of the last year, as well as the best hunters led by the Duke.

    Of course, the amber and some exquisite carvings exchanged from the elves are also the "specialties" of Shenlin Castle - these elves have never left their forests for some reason, and the Duke has never been interested in those forests and has always been at peace.

    When he was far away from the castle and was approaching a small village, Lu Wen stopped. The young count looked at the bustling crowd in the distance and waited for the black haired wizard behind him to follow.

    "You''re right. These people didn''t intend to make me stable from the beginning." Lu Wen said angrily, "they thought that with these cumbersome trivial things, they could make me retreat from difficulties and push all things to others."

    "Then they will be able to regain power, and I, the count, will act like a puppet and allow them to act recklessly - finally, my father can only see my incompetence and return Shenlin castle to the Seine family!"

    "Who would be willing to give up their power?" Loren asked calmly. "Your father wants to deprive them of their title and power. Of course, they will rise up and fight by any means."

    Lu Wen glanced at him, then nodded calmly, "you''re right. But it''s a pity that I''m my father''s son, a member of the Fred family. I don''t have a choice, and neither do you."

    The black haired wizard''s face showed a formulaic smile.

    Just when they both decided to go back, there was a sudden sound of commotion in the distant villages and towns. In the distance, we could see several farmers waving pitchfork to resist, and the women and children were screaming and fleeing everywhere.

    Robbers? Loren was stunned. It''s so close to the castle. How stupid would these robbers be to rob here?

    While Loren was still confused, the count had rushed with the Knights towards the village, and he had to hurry up.

    The whole village and town had become a complete mess, and the scattered crowd fled around. The knights rushed away from the fleeing farmers and directly broke into the middle of the village. Two groups of heavily armed people were facing each other. When they saw the Knights rushing in, they turned their weapons one after another.

    "No matter what you''re doing, stop it!" growled Lu Wen, who stopped his horse. "Put down your weapons, or I''ll be impolite!"

    "What are you?!" one of the young men stood up and glanced disdainfully at the young count. The knight next to him immediately came up and put him to the ground with a fist.

    "I''m Reuven Fred!" the count raised his voice. "I''m the heir of the Principality of lottel, the count of shenlinbao, your Lord!"

    The effect of this threat was much better than that just now. Several people who had been tough laid down their weapons one after another and looked at the knights who had surrounded them. They no longer had the courage to resist.

    However, there are still unconvinced "nobles solve problems with duels. It has been a tradition for hundreds of years in shenlinbao. Even the count has not interfered with our power!"

    "I don''t care what you used to look like, but now I''m the count of Shenlin castle, and I''m the law here!" Lu Wen waved, and the Knights around came forward one after another and tied up several people who were still fighting on the ground.

    Seeing the nobles and their thugs who had been caught but still unconvinced, Lu Wen hesitated more or less - he had no experience in dealing with nobles. He really didn''t know what to do about this kind of thing.

    "What do you think I should do?" Lu Wen asked Lauren next to him almost subconsciously. Almost everything that happened since he came to Shenlin castle was told by the black haired wizard.

    "I can''t give orders instead of you, just give some small suggestions." Loren smiled. "The Seine family decided that you can''t manage Shenlin Castle well. Why don''t you show them."

    "Give these nobles a fair trial and let them know who is the ruler of this land!"
