Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

Chapter 282 Harvey's Three Sins

After more than half a month, the Federation sent the second batch of commissions for the rescue operation. This time, they finally did not use messy magic materials to pay off the bill, but ten boxes of neatly stacked Orland gold coins.

The human countries and dwarves of the southern continent have different monetary systems. The seven wizard kingdoms led by the human race and dozens of large and small secular kingdoms have several independently minted and issued standard currencies.

But in terms of circulation and currency value, Orland, the strongest among the seven wizard kingdoms, and Isengard, the secular kingdom with rich gold reserves, are still Orland.

This results in the same face value of one gold pound, Orland gold coins and Isengard gold coins can be almost equal in value, and can be circulated freely throughout the southern continent, with the highest acceptance.

However, the gold pounds of other countries need to be deducted from a certain amount of fire consumption during the exchange, and there is no way to achieve a one-to-one equivalent exchange. Even the legal coins of some small vassal states and principalities are completely unacceptable in many large chambers of commerce and banks in the southern border.

Harvey was still very satisfied with the generous behavior of the Federation. He asked for a rescue fee of 100,000 pounds this time. He thought that he would have to bargain with the Federation or use some inferior materials to deal with it casually. Unexpectedly, the second payment was a full 30,000 pounds of gold coins.

He obtained about 30,000 pounds of income from the Federation in the last vaccine transaction. This time, the magic network rescue operation was almost a zero-cost business, and the cost of the energy-gathering array equipment and materials was only a little over 10,000 pounds, which was equivalent to a net profit of nearly 90,000 pounds in the future.

This suddenly made the city hall's finances, which were originally a little stretched, come back to life, and even Reiner couldn't help but speak with a little joy when reporting his work.

But the joy of the harvest didn't last more than half a day. Two pieces of news from the southern border sent by Asdalen made Harvey angry again.

...

"Sir, during the epidemic prevention work in Jackdaw Town some time ago, those small nobles who were temporarily detained in the town and restricted their personal freedom actually jointly reported the matter to Count Feigen of Grizzly Castle and the Royal Court of Jinhui City... that is, His Majesty the Grand Duke of Saint Valen."

Harvey was puzzled and said: "Didn't we only lock them up for two days and then let them leave the town and return to their fiefdoms and Grizzly Castle on their own? I didn't arrest them all..."

In fact, he knew very well what these small nobles were thinking. That is, when the plague broke out, Harvey provided free epidemic prevention medicines to the people, but charged a large amount of treatment fees for these nobles. The injection fee of medicines was as high as 500 gold pounds per bottle, which must have made those greedy guys resentful.

But the plague potion was made by Harvey, and he could sell it for whatever price he wanted. No one could blame him for this, so these small nobles gathered together and accused Harvey with another excuse - without the permission of His Majesty the Grand Duke and the lord of the fiefdom, they sent troops into Jackdaw Town, the family territory of Count Feigen, which was a serious violation of the lord's fiefdom rights.

"So what? Count Feigen blocked Grizzly Castle when the plague broke out, and didn't care about the lives of the people under his rule. Now he has gathered a group of small nobles to bite me back. Do you think the punch he received from me before was not heavy enough?"

The church staff in the town had been expelled back to Grizzly Castle by Harvey, but after helping Harvey control the spread of the plague, the town's Federation branch secretly returned to Daus in batches where the situation was safe.

The Jackdaw Town is now a no-man's land. Except for the more than 1,000 permanent residents who are stranded in the town and unwilling to leave their homes, any nominal official management agency no longer exists. The staff stationed there by Harvey cooperates with the two high-level forum spellcasters hidden in the dark, and in a sense, has completely taken over the entire town.

These territorial staff who came from the desert refugees have no sense of hierarchy between nobles and civilians. In order to facilitate the subsequent epidemic prevention work and continue to accept refugees, most of the holiday villas and houses of nobles and small landlords in the town have been requisitioned by them to accommodate the southern refugees who have just arrived here and are still in the recovery stage of the epidemic.

After all, it is winter. If they live in tents at the refugee shelter in such cold weather, they will undoubtedly freeze to death.

Some pragmatic territorial officials even demolished many empty wooden houses to fill the fuel needed for winter heating - their concept is very simple. Anyway, they think that no one lives there, so they might as well demolish them and use them for firewood.

As a result, Harvey, the pioneer lord of the northern border, was undoubtedly accused of "three serious crimes" in the eyes of other nobles.

First, without permission, he sent troops to invade the fiefdoms of other superior lords nearby.

Second, he allowed his subordinates to occupy the private property of other nobles without reason, causing irreparable property losses.

Third, he followed the order of Grand Duke Saint Valen and the Church of Glory to expel all spellcasters in the country, which naturally included Harvey, the wizard lord who was outside the border with the pioneer order.

Perhaps considering that he had suffered a big loss inexplicably here before, and lost a lot of family private soldiers and trusted knights, Earl Feigen did not immediately launch a targeted action, but slowly assembled troops in Grizzly Castle, as if waiting for the church to send strong reinforcements before looking for a suitable opportunity to send troops to Harvey.

Asdaren suggested lightly: "The two spellcasters stationed in Jackdaw Town asked me to ask you if they need to go directly to Grizzly Castle and secretly deal with Earl Feigen and the nobles who were leading the trouble. Let's first Be strong?”

Harvey shook his head slowly and refused, "No need, the Federation branch of Grizzly Castle was intercepted by the judges and priests sent by the church in the city, and was almost wiped out, indicating that the Earl of Feigen was handed down. There must be a higher-level combat power of the church below, and there is no need for us to take risks in our power."

Besides, the church and nobles occupy the public opinion high ground. If the caster rashly attacks them, he may be directly labeled as the proactive attack. Harvey does not want to carry the fuse of the caster and the church's civil war restart. The name of the black pot.

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

"Send two northern soldiers from the 500-man battalion headquarters, as well as artillery battalions, to guard the main roads and river beaches in and out of the town. This time we wait for the group of people led by Earl Fagen, headed by Earl Fagen. The idiot took the initiative to come to the door and get beaten."

In addition, Harvey also asked his guard to get paper and pen, and wrote a sarcastic reply to Earl Feigen, refuting the unreasonable accusations against him word by word, and implementing a content purpose throughout the text— —
