"Let me think about who else?" The lord smiled at the housekeeper sitting in the middle step.
According to Tianji's very loose but extremely majestic "Lord's Convention", the only person who can sit with the lord on the "High Step Throne" is the lord's wife who is married to the matchmaker. The seats of stewards and vassals should be demoted in order. This is the unquestionable majesty of the Lords' Covenant. However, as the Lord of Ximu who enjoys absolute autonomy in the territory, he can set the salaries, clothing, titles, etc. of the stewards and vassals according to his own wishes, the beliefs of the territory, and the traditions of the family.
Just like all kinds of knights and covens, the lord's Gisethying bodyguard, also known as Lady Gisethying to all the nine lords of Skyrim, is regarded as a noble title that surpasses the squire, and is regarded as a noble title that surpasses the squire. Gained widespread recognition.
"There are also the blacksmith Arvo and his daughter Dosi, and the cook Ogna of the Sleeping Giant Hotel." The housekeeper knew the situation of the territory clearly.
By the way, the blacksmith Arvo's wife Sigri has always complained that the blacksmithing work done by her daughter Dosi, who is busy at the stove, is very unladylike. But Arvo almost died when a dragon attacked him. At the critical moment, Sigiri and Dosi took over the hammer and made sharp arrows to drive away the evil dragon. Coupled with the housekeeper's extensive construction and expansion of Ximu City, the lord returned to Tianji, making the blacksmith shop's business increasingly prosperous. The blacksmith Arvo recruited more than a hundred apprentices, but even so, orders piled up. After all, the blacksmith's craftsmanship is the key to getting customers in the door. Before the apprentices are apprenticed, they cannot open branches elsewhere. Of course, it is natural for the blacksmith shop to be upgraded to the forging workshop (Alvor and Sigrid's Workshop). With the help of Azarudun adventurers, Alvor continued to study and incorporate the forging techniques of many Dwemer dwarves. He replaced the Sky Furnace forging steel with medium-sized divine light crystal forging steel, and tempered it with cold fall ice spring water. By producing "Stream (wood) steel (iron)" with extremely high quality and magic affinity, one foot has already entered the palace of the furnace master.
Many lords' weapons, such as the standard armor of city guards and caravan guards, were entrusted to Alvo for forging. Then, the academy's ring mage will engrave a universal magic ring and transform it into a "standard magic ring armor".
As for the chef of the Sleeping Giant Hotel, Ogna, since the proprietress Delphine re-established the Blade Society and changed its name to the Knights of the Dragon Blade to fly to the castle, the business of the Sleeping Giant Hotel has been so good that it is full of guests every day, and he has been temporarily handed over to take care of it. . It's a pity that Ogna, who is obsessed with cooking, is not a versatile person who is good at doing business. I have told different people many times that I want to bring a message to Delphine to find a new boss for Sleeping Giant as soon as possible.
Delphine, who was busy with her schedule, took time out to tell the housekeeper the news.
She is indeed the most indispensable female companion around the lord. The housekeeper immediately understood the meaning behind Delphine's move. How the housekeeper handles the Sleeping Giant Hotel represents how Delphine is placed.
Sure enough, after obtaining the consent of the lord, Gray Rock Castle directly took over the Sleeping Giant Hotel. Converted into a Lord's Inn. As for the new landlady, the housekeeper also gave the most suitable candidate, Ysolda, a female vendor in Xueman Market.
Isolda is one of the few Nords in Snowrun who trusts the Khajiit caravan. Her biggest dream is to buy the Mare Banner Hotel in Xueman. In the old adventures, the Lord and her had many interactions. In addition to finding a mammoth tusk for her and getting the sap from the Sleeping Tree, the lord also bought a wedding ring from Isolda during "a night of hangover" and gave it to his beloved. A note was left behind to this end, most of it gibberish, the only thing legible being: "Repaid Isolda's debt in Snowman."
In fact, the lord needs to repay more than just the wedding ring he borrowed from Isolda. Of course, the Lord finally made up for her "suffering a lot of losses" in an appropriate way.
So when the lord's brass messenger flew to her shop and delivered this deal that was sure to make a profit. Isolda immediately disposed of her inventory, packed her bags, even sold her home in Xueman City at a low price, and arrived at Ximu as soon as possible. All his wealth was invested in the expansion and renovation of the Sleeping Giant Hotel.
Take over Delphine and become the new boss lady.
The lobby on the first floor is still full of Ximu style. There are many guest rooms on the second and third floors, but they are decorated in different styles according to the travelers' preferences. With the blessing of space magic, the Sleeping Giant Hotel can be called the first hotel in the sky. Even the "clockwork waiter" who only appears in the gray stone castle frequently comes in and out of the Sleeping Giant Hotel, receiving guests and carrying luggage, and is very busy.
In order to continue to attract popularity, the new proprietress Isolda also invited the female bard Lynly Star-Sung from the Vilemyr Inn in Yew Town.
Compared with the long-famous bard Swann, the sweet voice of the female bard Lin Li Xinge immediately captured the hearts of guests who "like the new and dislike the old".
It is also full every day, but the revenue of the hall has increased by 10 times. Oh my gosh, that's an amazing 10 times. This made Swan the Bard nearly drop his jaw as did everyone else. You know, as another bard, he and Lin Li Xingge split tips equally according to unwritten hotel rules. In other words, because of the arrival of Lin Li Xingge, Siwan's income increased five times.
Does it even matter who is the most popular bard?
"My little baby, it seems that you are a little tempted?" Aikali, a Khajit businesswoman who has settled in Ximu and owns a chamber of commerce, looked meaningfully at the bard Swan sitting beside her.
"No, absolutely not. My dear iCarly." The bard Swann put down his wine glass and whispered: "To tell you the truth, I smell the scent of Gray Stone Castle on her (Lin Li Xingge) .”
"Oh?" There was an inexplicable meaning in the deep voice of Khajiit businesswoman Aikali: "So, this big star in the tavern also had a 'deep relationship' with our adults?"
"'Very deep', 'Very deep'. My dear Ikari." The bard Swann said with a provocative smile: "So deep that it goes deep into the soul."
"Oh..." Khajiit businesswoman Aikali understood: "Another 'forgotten lady'."
"Ah, we're finally here." Just as he was speaking, the bard Swann was suddenly touched by an annoying spring breeze in his ears.
"Ah ha, madam who has come from afar..." He slid down his seat quickly and bowed, his warm greetings smooth but stopped abruptly. Gently sniffing the fragrance that overflowed from under the gorgeous silk dress, the bard Swann stood up stiffly as if he had smelled cat urine and a mouse.
"Wow, are you Swann, who my man said was one of the male protagonists of the Ximu Love Triangle?" Although the gorgeous woman was wearing an extremely gorgeous palace dress, her red lips with heavy makeup showed a lot of sluttiness.
"Who are you?" Swann, the bard, carefully asked for confirmation.
"Mrs. Haelga." The slutty woman generously announced her family name: "The famous Rift Valley Apartments (Boarding House) Haelga's Bunkhouse (Haelga's Bunkhouse) is my property." Of course, from the word "Bunkhouse" We can't guess that the so-called apartment must be poorly decorated.
"Okay, dear madam." He secretly pulled the hem of the skirt of the Rajite businesswoman Aikali with the hand behind his back. The bard Swann immediately beamed with enthusiasm and said attentively: "I will serve you wholeheartedly."
"Auntie, please don't embarrass this gentleman." A timid voice suddenly captured everyone's hearts.
"Good day, beautiful lady." The bard Swan suppressed a sneeze and bent down lower.
"Good day, Mr. Swann. Please call me Svana." The young and beautiful lady is Halga's niece, Svana Far-Shield.
