"Won't the old man work hard?"
"It's okay, we have hired a new pastor." Zhang Xun replied.
Lin Qing originally planned to take all the mercenaries to Luo Manor, for this reason, they thought of transferring a ship from Kiri.
But his plans change when Rayna hands them the Albert estate.
Rather than bringing them to the Locke Manor and exposing them under the eyes of the emperor, it is better to grow their forces in the Albert Manor close to the Locke Empire and avoid the emperor's eyeliner.
Instead of going by sea, they went by land.
At the end of the war, used carriages and carriages were collected and sold in the market, so the cost of buying them was relatively low.
"Well, I'm glad...the question is...to whom should I leave the Albert estate?"
Lin Qing shook her head, not sure who to hand it over to.
When Lin Qing went to serve in the army, "Four Thirty Seven" Hans had been ruling Luo as a deputy lord.
Although he is well suited for the job, whenever Lin Qing decides to leave, he needs to stay at Luo Manor.
Zhang Xun suggested when Lin Qing was worried.
"Where's Audi Zhang who manages the treasury? He's a bit tricky about money...but he's loyal to the family."
Lin Qing nodded, thinking it made sense.
"Maybe he's the right guy?"
"He has a lot of experience in administration, so maybe he can lead Albert.
"That...."
Once it was decided who would lead Albert, Zhang Xun asked another thing: "What about the officers and knights? Will you summon them from our estate?"
Since there are still rebels in the land allocated to him, it must not be called stable here.
It's possible they've joined the rebels...or they're simply unreliable.
"If the Los Angeles Knights or the Silver Knights appear, the emperor will definitely be suspicious. Therefore, if I want to introduce new knights from the red wolf, they must be quite smart and reliable.
Also known as the Red Wolf Knights.
Lin Qing is willing to let them sit on an equal footing with the Los Angeles Knights and the Silver Knights.
For this reason, Lin Qing intends to pass on the silver sword to the mercenaries who are about to become knights.
And, he decided to divide the titans equally between them.
Lin Qing made a plan for Albert Manor and wrote a letter to Lu Manor during lunch break.
Long-distance magic communication will be intercepted, so Lin Qing doesn't want to use it.
He thinks it's safer to send and receive encrypted letters through trusted people
- Ask the Spirit King to give it to Hans.
Lin Qing asked Bell who was sitting on his shoulder telepathically.
-I'm a vampire, should I do this kind of thing? Just ask someone else....
-I guess you missed the touch of the woman's hand before.
Just then, Bell remembered what happened a few days ago.
Women in their teens and early twenties rubbed his entire body.
His wings, torso, and every corner of his body were destroyed wantonly, and the vampire's proud reputation plummeted.
Bell swore that no matter what happened, he would never allow himself to be humiliated by a woman again.
Think about it, there are many women and children following us, right?
- no! i'll send it right away!
Bell was terrified, put the letter in his mouth, and quickly disappeared into the sky.
"I caught one of his...weaknesses.
Looking at the back of Bell going away, Lin Qing smiled and started walking towards Albert Manor.
Then, after leaving...
A group of mercenaries headed by Lin Qing reached the border of Albert's territory.
Due to the previous lord's involvement in the rebellion, there is bound to be a terrible smell to this land.
The peasants working in the fields ran away in fright when they saw the mercenaries.
In addition, fortress soldiers had to guard empty outposts.
The town was deserted, probably looted.
"Tch, it takes time for people to trust us."
Lin Qing, who crossed the territory, came to the permanent residence of Laval.
Laval, where the administrative center of the estate is located, is surrounded by a thick infrastructure.
Unlike other places, the soldiers are still there, but they are a voluntary group of people who take up this role in order to defend their city.
So when Lin Qing appeared in front of them with 10,000 mercenaries and titans, they couldn't help but hesitate a bit.
"Could it be that the permanent estate?"
"Who are you?"
Hearing Zhang Xun's question, Lin Qing glanced at the old man standing at the door.
The crisp attire and straightforward questions [enough to establish that he's not a civilian.
Lin Qing approached, and the lord bowed politely.
"You are the new lord, and I am Baron Vander, the steward and deputy lord of Albert Manor..."
"The former lord's retainer? Then you must be a remnant of the rebel army, why didn't you escape?"
Lin Qing asked suspiciously, but Wante responded with a wry smile.
"Isn't there a need for someone to stay until the new man takes over the valuable property?"
It stands to reason that if the retainers run away one by one, the manor's country is bound to be over.
In other words, there could be looting and arson, there could be theft, and soldiers would run away, leaving innocent people on the ground to suffer.
With this in mind, the squires left one of them in charge until the end, and Baron Vander, the oldest of them all, volunteered for the role.
"Looking at those retainers, it seems that the former master was not bad." Lin Qing said.
"Yes, although Marquis Suleiman made a wrong choice because of his acquaintance with other lords, he still has great virtues in terms of governance and retainers.
"I understand."
Want was very active in designating the residences of the mercenaries and their families, and handed over documents related to the management and expenses of the manor.
All of this has greatly reduced Lin Qing's job of getting the estate back on track.
When everything related to the estate acquisition was done, Vant pleaded.
"Now, I've done all my work. Kill me, I'm a rebel after all.
"I'll just pretend I haven't seen you, and just live in the manor."
"sorry?"
Seeing that the new master had no intention of punishing himself, the housekeeper was shocked.
"The rebellion is over and most of the instigators have been executed. If I kill one or two people here, will it make any difference? If you can live in silence, I don't mind giving you asylum," Lin Qing said.
"real?"
"Yes, the Pope has said that anyone who can reflect on his sins will be forgiven.
Lin Qing told stories of people on the estate, known as rebels, who surrendered with impunity.
Realizing that what Lin Qing said was not a lie, Wan Te walked out of the manor's office and bowed his head in thanks.
"Che, that's a waste, why didn't you hire him?"
After Want left the room, Zhang Xun, who was listening to their conversation, asked Lin Qing.
"Because he's not the type to serve two lords. For whatever reason, we are the ones who punished his first lord, and he can't possibly forgive us for that."
"That sounds plausible."
