Maned Wolf Earl's Mansion is a small building belonging to Kempins.
The lord's bedroom is not very big, and Kempins Maned Wolf is currently lying on his hard bed, with sweat all over his face.
Next to the bed, Elinda Maned Wolf brought a bucket, dipped a square towel in water, and wiped her father's upper body.
"Those people from the Blue Dragon family are such bastards. They didn't let the housekeeper come in to take care of you!" Elenda said angrily while wiping.
The entire Lord's Mansion had been controlled by the knights of the Blue Dragon family before they came back. When the count was sent in, everyone except Elenda was blocked by the knights. It was clear that they were letting Kempins go. The injury worsened.
"Yi..." The Earl moved his right hand and could no longer utter complete words in his mouth, "Lan..."
"You want me to call Lant?" Elenda guessed what her father was thinking.
"You...marry" At this moment, the earl also knew that if he wanted to keep his bloodline in the Maned Wolf City, the best way was to let Lant marry his daughter. Now that he was no longer able to do so, this was the only way to keep these things. year's results.
"Father, I don't want to..." Elenda's face was full of tears and she shook her head desperately. No matter what kind of grievances she had with her father before, she hoped that Kempins could survive at this moment. "I don't want to be a countess. I'm going to Please Lant, please ask Queen Tenia to treat you, you will definitely be able to survive this."
The earl slowly stretched out his hand in front of the girl, wanting to touch his daughter for the last time, but suddenly froze.
"Father, your belly..." Elenda noticed that Kebbins's belly started to smoke again, and quickly dipped a towel in water to try to cool it down. However, this time, the towel filled with water was placed on his belly and not only did it not extinguish the smoke. The air is getting hotter and hotter.
"Why don't you let the earl's family take care of him! What do you mean?" Lant's shout came from outside the house, and he angrily asked the knights of the Blue Dragon family.
"Sir, Kebbins has been subjected to a powerful fire curse. When he dies, a fire will occur, which may burn down the entire building!"
The loud reply of the Blue Dragon knight caused silence outside the door. After a while, Lant walked into the bedroom.
The noise outside did not affect the busyness in the bedroom. After discovering that a simple towel could not cover the gradually burning flames, Elenda wetted the pillow towel, sheets, and clothes and covered Kempins' abdomen until she poured water directly on it. On him.
"Elenda..." Lant called softly.
"Lant! You are finally here!" When the girl saw the savior, she knelt down and cried, "Please, you must have a way!"
Rant glanced at Kempins and sighed helplessly.
In the magic net, the earl's whole body became the fuel of the flames. Just as the knight outside said, if Elenda continues to stay here, I am afraid she will also get caught in the fire.
"Elenda, get out of here!" Rant couldn't help but hugged Elenda and took her away from the count. He used his other hand to release magic so that the scope of the flames was limited to the vicinity of the count's bed.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
The count let out a crazy cry, the sound seemed to come from hell.
"Ariana! Forgive me!"
Kempins Maned Wolf used his last strength to call out the name of his deceased wife. At the last second of his life, the only thing he expected was her forgiveness.
"Father!" Elenda shouted almost losing strength as she watched her father turn into a ball of flames on the bed.
In just a few seconds, the legendary curse burned Kebbins' body and soul into white smoke.
This is the curse of the Dragon Throne for all rebellious ministers. After breaking through the Silver Knight, Kempins Maned Wolf was used by several nobles with blood and great elves as bait, and became the pioneer of the rebellion that forced the palace 10 years ago. However, he did not expect at that time that everything he had and expected would be completely lost that night.
…
In the early morning of November 4, all the vassals of the Northwest Territories attended the funeral of Caspian Maned Wolf on the outskirts of Maned Wolf City.
A wooden box held the ashes, a high-ranking priest read the eulogy, and less than 20 vassals and 15 family members attended. The funeral of a high-ranking earl was incredibly simple.
In the front row of the crowd, Harker the Maned Wolf, Gant Elk, and Jeor Mormont, Viscount of Whitetree City, looked at Lant beside the priest, looked at each other, and nodded.
If Lant had not summoned everyone, I am afraid that few vassals would actually come to the small church on the outskirts of Maned Wolf City. After all, according to common sense, the only funerals held here are those who have been cursed or committed serious crimes, not to mention the count's burial. Next to it, there are the graves of his two sons.
About two hours later, the vassals returned to the meeting hall of the Earl's Mansion in Maned Wolf City, where Prime Minister Richelieu Lanyuan personally read out the appointment of Lantern to act as the agent for the northwest count's affairs.
Rand's takeover went smoothly and everyone expected it. The only thing that surprised everyone was Rand's subsequent speech.
"Dear colleagues, since I succeeded Viscount Roth last year, I never thought that one day I would be so trusted by His Majesty and the Parliament and assume the responsibility of protecting the northwest territory." Lant's voice was deep and gentle, although it was a little sad. , but not much.
"Nowadays, the Northwest Territory has been experiencing war for a long time, and various towns were attacked by barbarians last year. I am determined to lead you to recuperate and recuperate in the next three years, focusing on key areas such as road construction, magic plant cultivation, and monster breeding..."
Lant's idea is simple. Except for White Tree City and Maned Wolf City, other areas in the Northwest Territories are more suitable for agriculture and breeding. There is no need to set up magic workshops in these areas with dispersed populations. Therefore, roads must be built and rivers dredged to allow the baron and viscount to We not only have our own advantageous industries, but also can obtain sufficient benefits from these industries.
When agriculture and breeding develop, there will be an additional industrial sector and a mature market in Lant's territory. At that time, only the demand for magic industrial products from these barons and viscounts will be enough to recover his investment in infrastructure.
"Dear colleagues, in the future, the Northwest Territory will have extensive commercial exchanges with the Galloping Horse Plains. Yeqi City, Iowa, White Wolf City, White Tree City and Maned Wolf City will establish a business alliance and form a joint chamber of commerce. Your specialties will be marketed The entire continent, whether it is the Orc Plateau or the Imperial Capital, will be your market!"
"Thank you, Lord Count!"
"Thanks Rand!"
Sure enough, when the vassals heard this, they showed enthusiastic support. They understood that they could obtain huge benefits from these investments, and such inclusive investments had never been made by the Maned Wolf family in the past hundreds of years. .
