Chapter 157 Westover Is The Territory Of Wallen City
Chapter 157 Westover Is The Territory Of Wallen City
Just when Qi Xiao found Marsson.
Warren City Fortress, inside the meeting hall.
The nobles are having a heated discussion here.
"Why should we give up our land to a foreigner? He has no right to acquire the land!"
"Westover Field belongs to Wallen City! It belongs to us!"
"Count Presto! You must give us a satisfactory explanation!"
"That's right! You must explain clearly why you gave him the territory? My grandfather bought that territory for 100 gold coins!"
Snapped!
A paunchy middle-aged aristocratic man threw the land deed heavily on the round table.
Presto sat in the speaker's seat, resting his chin on one hand, watching the nobles get angry with a smile.
Next to her was the expressionless Archduke Bolvar.
Facing the anger of the nobles, he also didn't say a word, let alone persuade them to take action.
After seeing all the nobles looking at him angrily, Presto said with a smile:
"My lords, have you finished speaking? Now I have a question."
She looked at the potbellied middle-aged man: "Earl of Cleveland, if you take back Westover now, can you resettle the displaced refugees?"
"Hmph! Where can those filthy untouchables be accommodated? Of course I will drive them all away! I have many slaves. I can just move a few hundred people to cultivate the land."
"Really? So, do you have the troops to wipe out the remaining banditry in Westover Field?"
"Well……"
"Will the dirty untouchables you drove away become new bandits? Do you still plan to ask us to send troops to pacify them? Will you bear their military pay and food? Do you think that 100 gold can bring them to justice?" Are all problems solved?"
The Earl of Cleveland opened his mouth to answer these questions, but could not answer a word.
Not to mention one hundred gold coins, one thousand gold coins, or ten thousand gold coins may not be able to solve the problem.
The problem in Westfall has been going on for many years and it has not been solved at all.
"Then...it can't be that you have benefited from a foreign divine envoy in vain!"
"Of course we can't give him any advantage!"
As soon as Presto said this, all the nobles sitting around the round table were stunned.
"Westover is the territory of Wallen City, and it is also the territory of the Earl. It has always been... However, you might as well leave it to him to take care of it first. After he plants the crops and eliminates the banditry, Just go and accept it. The land, untouchables, and crops there are all your property, and your land deed is always valid."
Hearing this, Cleveland's plump face could no longer tense up and grinned greedily.
But soon, he asked worriedly: "But... what if the foreign envoy is unwilling to give up the land?"
"We will send troops to drive him out of the country!" Presto said with a cold look.
"Okay! Hahaha!" Cleveland stretched out his fat hands and clapped vigorously.
He was very pleased with Presto's proposal.
That’s right!
Rather than grabbing a piece of wasteland now, it’s really better to wait for others to sort it out before taking it away!
"Grand Duke Bolvar, do you mean this too?" The nobles looked at Bolvar.
"Of course, I agree with Count Presto's proposal." Bolvar nodded, his voice steady.
The necklace around his neck flashed an imperceptible red light.
"Hahaha! That's great!"
…
The border between Duskwood and Stranglethorn Vale.
Marsson, who was dripping with sweat, knelt in front of Qi Xiao, not daring to breathe.
"I hope that God, Lord God, can spare my life!"
"So, you want to live?"
"Yes, it is."
"Okay, tell me what's your purpose of meeting Thred?"
Marsson's heart trembled.
After a short silence, he told Qi Xiao everything he knew.
"Oh? You mean, there is an instruction from the Noble Council behind this?"
"Yes~"
Um……
Qi Xiao made a bold guess in his mind based on Marsson's words.
He just doesn't understand why the noble council tolerates Cliff's existence?
Is it because the bandits are self-respecting?
But who is the beneficiary of this matter?
The questions that emerged one after another did not make Qi Xiao feel irritated.
"It's getting more and more interesting." Qi Xiao said with a smile.
He lowered his eyes and looked at Marsson, who was kneeling in a standard posture.
This person is just a microphone, and he probably doesn't know much.
It seems that in order to protect themselves, they are also secretly investigating some things about Leskova.
In this case, such people should take advantage of it.
"Marsson, I can give you a way to survive."
Marson was overjoyed when he heard this. Before he could express his gratitude, he heard Qi Xiao say: "But you can't leave Wallen City."
"Lord God Envoy...if I stay, I will be hunted down."
"I believe you have a way to survive... I want you to keep an eye on the movements in Wallen City. If they make any move, report it to Stallman in Moon Creek Town."
After listening to Qi Xiao's order, Marson breathed out secretly.
"Yes! I am willing to follow the envoy of God."
He couldn't refuse.
Because no matter where he escaped, he could be found instantly by Qi Xiao.
"Okay! Then I'm waiting for your good news."
After Qi Xiao finished speaking, he teleported away.
After he left, Marsson collapsed on the ground, his clothes already soaked.
…
Warren City, Artisan District, Fire Axis' workshop.
The appearance of Qi Xiao interrupted the work of the fire axis.
"Master God Envoy? Why are you here?"
Huo Zhu took off his engineering glasses and smiled.
Qi Xiao's deeds of punishing three nobles outside the prison have spread throughout Wallen City.
The people secretly spread the news and all applauded.
Fire Axis was even more proud when he heard his friends talking about this.
Now, his favorability level with Qi Xiao has reached the level of respect.
"I have a favor to ask of you, Great Master of Fire Axis."
"Please give me your orders."
"I have taken in many refugees in Yuexi Town, and there is a large area of wasteland that needs to be reclaimed. Unfortunately, there are insufficient equipment, and the reclamation progress is very slow, so I would like to ask you to go to Yuexi Town to help make some puppets for farming, and of course A 'large instrument' needs repair."
"Yuexi Town? Westover Wilderness!" Fire Axis immediately became interested.
Of course he knew the news there.
"Yes, I wonder if you have time..."
"Of course! I'll be ready right now!"
Axis of Fire immediately returned to the house and began to pack his things.
"Is there a workshop there? Are the tools sufficient? Where are the materials?"
"There is a damaged workshop... As for tools and materials... there seems to be some... right?"
"That's it~ That would be troublesome..."
Huo Zhu scratched his head and looked at the tools and equipment parts in the room, feeling a little worried for a moment.
He wanted to take them all away.
