Duke of Grief

Cervantes doesn't care much about standing in the light or hiding in the dark. It's just like his character at this point. He doesn't care how others judge himself.

However, at the request of the maid, he had not done something that might be illegal for a long time. He stayed quietly in Wind City and became a seemingly good lord.

However, if you want a black dragon with a natural chaos to become a lord who is quiet, does not talk, and does not make trouble, it is simply a delusion.

So seven days ago, Cervantes secretly ran out of the Wind City himself. In addition to reporting peace to the maid every two days, he has been running around in the winds of sorrow for the past few days.

After all, he has nothing to do in Wind City, just like a mascot placed on the countertop, he has nothing to do except to sit there-if he can reach the legendary network, then He will surely become a complete house dragon with peace of mind, but it is a pity that there is no such thing in the world of Assatom.

The boring Cervantes found that he could not return to the days when he ate, slept, and ate, because it was so boring, and after getting used to some interesting things, the Black Dragon could no longer bear it. Continue to be so boring.

So, he decided to go out and have fun!

Anyway, in the near future, the sorrow leader has entered the stage of peaceful development. What is needed is to spend time. Basically, there is no need to use his place. If he really needs it, he believes that Serra will also contact him. , So Cervantes ran out like this.

Cervantes' behavior was unpredictable, the purpose was almost nothing for him, he ran out just for fun.

Sometimes he would run to the border, sometimes he would run to the middle, anyway, he moved very fast, basically after going around one place, he would go to the next place to continue to have fun.

But to his regret, he didn't think of other places in the tragic wind, even in cities and towns, people's lives are still going back and forth, and they live very peacefully, with little passion, and in these cities and towns. There are also a lot of thieves, but because of Cervantes’s own size, few thieves dare to provoke him. Even thieves who have become rogues do not dare to deal with his wallet.

It may be because in other places where the winds and winds lead, the official reputation is not enough. Even though the local government has made market regulations, many people choose to ignore those market regulations and do their own business.

Seeing this, Cervantes would always pick up his small book and record what he saw on it.

Although he is playing, he can actually be used as a tour of his territory.

The last time he and Serra met a cultist while visiting the territory, the result was that half of them had not been inspected, only a half-turn on the border.

This time he intends to take a look around and record all his observations on the road, as if he were visiting his territory.

From this point, we can see that these decentralized officials may be too taken for granted. After all, Wind City is the most advanced and developed place in the mourning wind, and the official reputation is enough. The maid has always been working for the welfare of the people, so whether it is Enforcement or popular support is enough to carry out every policy.

However, outside of Wind City, it is another matter!

First of all, the Old Duke did not directly manage the other places of the sorrow winds, just like the common nobility of the nobility in the Assatome world. Each nobility will manage its own territory, and different tax rates and laws will be in different territories .

A duke is a principality that is not independent, or a principality that is completely dependent on the kingdom.

However, the law still has to obey the law promulgated by the supreme ruler. The lords in various places can make some changes on the basis of the law, but they cannot violate the laws of the country.

What each territory looks like depends on the character and ability of the local lord.

Most lords are mediocre, maybe they are greedy for pleasure, but they also understand that if they are forced to die or forced away, then they will have no capital for pleasure.

A small number of lords will work hard, even if they know that they have no way to promote the title, but they can make their territory stronger to enhance the family and their status.

Finally, there is a kind of lord, who exploits the people without any care, and the people in the territory are miserable. They either die in the territory, or are killed by starvation, sickness, or death by the brutal lord, or choose to escape from the territory. Because they cannot continue to survive there.

And like this kind of lord, the end may either be to change the property to maintain the face of the nobility, and finally starve or die, or the family is completely down, the family is completely down, and their territory will be divided by the surrounding lords. There is nothing left.

Because there are many lessons from the past, many lords rarely choose to be the last kind, most of them choose to become the first kind of lord.

The same is true in the sorrow wind lord. Most lords are the first kind, a few are the second kind, and the third one is not. The only mage is, the IQ that can become a mage is generally not low, and has a certain amount of knowledge.

As long as it is not a fool, no one will choose to become the kind of lord who is exhausted and fishing.

But even so, even under the threat of the old duke, the lords of the tragic wind dare not exploit too much, but the local civilians do not trust the nobles.

For civilians, only the tax increase can be believed in what the nobles say. The rest... Oh, for the benefit of the people? I'm afraid it's another new tax increase method!

After observations by Cervantes, most of the civilians in the mourning winds have already known the names of the maidservant and the new lord. Except for some small villages with little information, many people have heard of their Name.

They also learned the news of Wind City from the mouth of many people, UU reading www. uukanshu.com and the workers in the local workshops are even the fans of the maidservants. After all, officials everywhere claim that these workshops are organized by maidservants.

However, that is all.

Because many aristocrats were not very well-known before, and even the reputation of the local government was affected by them. It is difficult for the local government to issue effective decrees.

Even though the decentralized officials have claimed that the tragic leader has received a new life, the people still have a certain resistance to the official decrees, as if as long as they resist these decrees, they will win.

This made Cervantes couldn't help but sigh. Even when he and his maid came to the tragic winds and governed the city of Wind, they did not struggle so hard, and they didn't know what the lords had done before, not only did they have no reputation, It has also caused a hostile attitude among the people. Even if certain decrees have already begun to bear fruit, the people's attitude towards the official is still doubtful.

Even if the local government used the name of the maidservant to do things, the people still have considerable resistance.

It is not difficult to understand why after the maid has comprehensively ordered various reforms in various places, the results are still not very satisfactory.

This is not just a problem for local governments and officials, but also a problem for the people. If it is not the resistance of the people to various decrees, the living standards in the tragic areas around the world can still be improved.

After wandering outside for 16 days, Cervantes intends to return to Wind City, because he found that he basically hasn't played much in the past 16 days. From the time of recording the various information of the territory, he was already working. Too.

It was also because of these sixteen days that he discovered that it was so troublesome to govern a territory.

Fortunately, he has Sera, otherwise he will not be the lord! ...
