Otherworld Management Manual

Red leaf calendar, late April of 1 year.

The snow in the extreme north has melted, and the river surface has begun to thaw. The most dangerous season of the year has finally passed, which means that the hopeful spring is coming.

"Lord Norris, how long until we arrive!"

On a relatively regular avenue, a group of caravan-like teams are heading north.

In the carriage, several people dressed as nobles sat next to each other.

The person who spoke was a thin, middle-aged man.

"Don't worry, Baron Johnson, he should be here soon."

Another middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life replied.

"Hey, you said that we are living a good life here. Why did His Majesty suddenly appoint a marquis? This extreme northern land is so poor, there is little oil and water, and the nobles here are not even as good as a businessman in other places! Another Marquis Let’s do a search, I guess we’re all going to have a hard time!”

Baron Johnson had a bitter face.

After receiving the news from Hongye City, he hasn't slept well all day. It is already very difficult for him to survive in the extreme north. Compared with other places, the only advantage of this extreme north is that there is no one here. The great lord, even the king, does not collect taxes. Although his life is not very good, he is very free.

However, if a baron really comes, he is still a marquis who owns the entire northern land as a fief, and this northern land will become unfree!

Not to mention, if this marquis searches another layer in the extreme north... then he really has to consider whether he should stay here.

"You and I can't understand His Majesty's thoughts. His Majesty the King naturally has his reasons. We just need to abide by them!"

What Baron Norris said was awe-inspiring, but from the frowning expression on his face, he was also very sad.

"Hey? What Marquis are you talking about? Is it fake?"

Baron Johnson asked suddenly, without waiting for Baron Norris to speak, he began to analyze directly.

"Look, let's not say that there is no benefit for the other party to come to our extreme north, just say that the city he chose is very problematic. As we all know, the cities that go north are poorer. This so-called Lord Marquis, which city does not choose? , I chose the northernmost Red Leaf City! As long as the brain is healthy, it is impossible to choose this place! If it were you, would you choose it?"

"Of course I won't.

When you put it that way, it seems to make sense..."

Lord Norris nodded.

"Then how about we go back?"

Baron Johnson asked tentatively.

Although they are all places in the extreme north, there are also grades in the land in the extreme north. The location of Hongye City is the worst level. He doesn't even want the city here!

"No, what if he is real? If we don't listen to the lord's call, the consequences will be very serious! Besides, we've all come here, and it's not a day away!"

Lord Norris shook his head.

He didn't want to come either, but he had to.

"What you said is also reasonable, so go and have a look. If it's true, let's stop talking, sneak away, and then go to the capital to report to the King! Maybe you can get a not-so-low reward." !"

Baron Johnson whispered.

"Well, just do as you said... Hey, look there, is there a convoy too?"

Norris suddenly saw some figures in the distance, but his eyes were not very good and he couldn't see clearly.

"It's the team, wait, why do I feel a little familiar... Garman City, that's Garman City's team!"

"They are also going to Hongye City? Let's go!"

Norris's team found others, and others naturally found him.

The two teams seem to have negotiated, and they will get together with a tacit understanding.

"Hello, Viscount Garhope, I am Baron Norris, and this is Baron Johnson. It is an honor to meet you here!"

Baron Norris stepped out of the carriage and said politely.

In the Garman convoy, Viscount Hope didn't get out of the car, but just opened the window and looked at Baron Norris and the two. He nodded with undisguised disappointment on his face.

At first, I thought that I would meet some acquaintances and inquire about the news, but these two little barons obviously didn't know much.

"Hi there."

Before Norris could speak, Viscount Hope closed the window.

"..."

"..."

Seeing that Viscount Hope's team left first, Baron Johnson spat a little unhappily.

"Hey, I really think that I am a viscount! Why don't I live in a poor place like the extreme north!"

"Okay, everyone is gone, why don't you dare to say it in front of him?"

Norris spoke mercilessly.

"..."

"It's normal for him to look down on us, who made us a little baron! Let's go quickly, and hope to reach Hongye City before dark, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to sleep outside in such a cold day!"

"Well, let's go!"

The convoy walked for a while, and the two barons who were discussing countermeasures in the carriage suddenly received a report from their subordinates.

I saw Hongye City!

This made both of them breathe a sigh of relief.

Baron Johnson opened the window, looked at the city "not far away", and said with a smile:

"Regardless of whether this Marquis is an adult or not, we have finally reached Hongye City! Let's speed up! I'm starving. I hope there are meat in the tavern in Hongye City. It would be even better if there are vegetables!"

"Baron Johnson, I think you're overthinking it. In such a remote place, it would be nice to have black bread. You can still eat meat? Not to mention vegetables that are worth thousands of dollars now!"

The two talked and laughed, thinking that they would be able to arrive at Hongye City soon.

But since I saw Hongye City, I have been walking for an hour, and the "not far away" Hongye City is still "not far away".

The two looked at each other with shock on their faces. They are not stupid, so it seems that there is only one possibility.

"No, no way? The walls of Hongye City are so high?! Then how big is Hongye City!"

...

...

Like the two of Norris, the other people who came to Hongye City were also shocked, because the geographical location near Hongye City is relatively flat, there is no mountain cover, Hongye City can be seen from a long distance, and there is no reference , so many people thought it was coming soon.

But as the saying goes, Wangshan runs dead horse.

Although Red Leaf City has not yet reached the level of a mountain, to these people, it is almost the same as a mountain.

After walking for a long time, until I reached the gate of Hongye City, and after Hongye City became bigger and bigger in my eyes, everyone was stunned, how could there be such a big city!

...

"No, it's impossible? How could there be such a big city!"

Viscount Robbins was full of disbelief, but everything in front of him told him that Red Leaf City...is just that big!

Standing under the city wall, you must raise your head to ninety degrees to see the entire city wall.

There are more than 30 people in Viscount Robbins' convoy, but standing under this city wall, no, standing under this city gate, they look like little bugs!

If it weren't for the three big golden characters on the city gate that said Red Leaf City, he couldn't believe that such a huge city is actually in the extreme north!

"Master Viscount, we..."

The knight under him swallowed subconsciously. As a knight, bravery is a must. But now looking at this gigantic city, looking at the city gate that looks like a monster with a big mouth, he is afraid to go in!

He didn't understand what kind of person was able to build such a big city!

Even, can this city really be built by humans...

"What? Scared? Go knock on the door!"

After Viscount Robbins calmed down briefly, he ordered to the knight.

He was actually a little shy, but as a viscount and a knight, he couldn't show his timidity in front of his subordinates.

"Yes!"

The knight swallowed a mouthful of saliva, held the knight's sword nervously, and just took two steps forward——

rumbling~

The huge gate, taller than their city walls, opened!

choke~

The knight subconsciously pulled out his sword and looked nervously at the dark doorway.

brush!

The torches in the doorway ignited one after another, slowly illuminating the whole doorway, and at the same time allowing Viscount Robbins and the others to see what was inside.

scare!

Both Viscount Robbins and the knight took a step back subconsciously, with a trace of horror on their faces.

They are all like this, not to mention the soldiers, if Viscount Robbins is not well-trained, they probably dropped their weapons and ran away!

sky!

what is this!

"Don't be afraid, we are the wolf cavalry of Hongye City, welcome to Hongye City!"

One of the figures riding a gray giant wolf three or four meters high spoke.

Only then did Viscount Robbins and the others realize that there was actually a human on this terrifying giant wolf!

Hearing that the other party said they were wolf cavalry from Red Leaf City, Viscount Robbins believed it—he dared not believe it!

This wolf cavalry is wearing exquisite armor, which is airtight, with only two eyes outside—no, not even the eyes, what is on the helmet? crystal?

But this is not important, Viscount Robbins just passed it by, what is important is the three to four meter tall giant wolf under their crotch!

The important parts of the giant wolf's body were also wearing exquisite armor. The fangs in the bloody mouth and the bloodthirsty eyes made Viscount Robbins feel chills just by looking at it.

He didn't know if his knights could defeat this giant wolf, but he knew that if the other six wolf cavalry went up together, all thirty or so of his own might have to confess here.

When the people on the other side came to Hongye City, they had been spotted by the telescope a long time ago. After all, it was the first time they met. To show their sincerity, Zhang Feng sent someone to greet them.

Considering that these people's small hearts might be relatively fragile, Zhang Feng didn't let the orcs greet them, otherwise he would be in trouble if he got scared.

So Zhang Feng sent wolf cavalry.

But now it seems that this wolf cavalry still scares Viscount Robbins.

"Hi, hello!"

Robbins was also a knight after all, so he quickly calmed down.

With a stiff smile on his face, he said hello.

"Everyone, please follow me."

The wolf cavalry didn't talk nonsense, he just slapped the giant wolf under his seat.

brush!

Everyone felt a gust of wind blowing by, and some couldn't open their eyes. When they saw clearly again, only the back of the giant wolf was left.

"Quick, quick, keep up!"

Viscount Robbins let out a loud roar, and everyone woke up in a start, and trotted over with the wolf cavalry.

Walking through the lengthy doorway, the sight suddenly opened up.

A house that is taller and bigger than their City Lord's Mansion!

Flat, clean ground as hard as rock!

A wide avenue where ten carriages can travel side by side at the same time!

A commoner who dresses strangely and beautifully!

Strange white gas is still rising from time to time in the sky!

...

Everyone in Robbins was dumbfounded.

Why is the painting style different for a city that is also in the extreme north?

When the commoners in Hongye City saw the guests coming, they all looked at them curiously. Robbins suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He withdrew his shocked gaze and pretended to be "just so", but The more this is the case, the more the civilians find it funny.

Robbins felt embarrassed, but fortunately, these civilians just smiled in the distance and left, and nothing embarrassing happened.

"It was laughed at by a commoner!"

Robbins felt a little helpless.

Bang Chi Bang Chi~

A sudden sound brought Robbins back to his senses, and he saw a black car with many wheels coming from not far away.

This car is somewhat similar to the car of the Red Leaf City envoy he had seen before, but it is taller, bigger and longer, with several sections, all of which are windows made of transparent crystal, so you can clearly see the people inside .

The car stopped at a "small house" without walls. Some people got off and some got on.

Bang Chi Bang Chi~

The car is gone again.

"My lord, does this car seem to be able to sit?"

The subordinate opened his mouth curiously.

"It should be...don't think too much, hurry up and catch up, and talk to Lord Marquis first!"

Robbins gave a lesson, and then asked the crowd to follow the wolf cavalry waiting for them in front, but Robbins' eyes could not be taken back from the steam car that had gone away.

...

...

"My lord, many lords have arrived."

Erica handed Zhang Feng a list.

Zhang Feng looked at it and nodded.

"Well, they seem to be quite obedient!"

"That's not because the city lord is famous! No one dares to disobey your orders!"

Erica said respectfully.

"You... you're not too careless in taking pictures!"

Zhang Feng knocked her little head angrily.

"Hey~"

Then he asked:

"Have you arranged everything?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, we have gathered them all in the Red Leaf Hospitality Hotel. However, apart from these lords, there are also some nobles and merchants who have no fiefs, and they have also come to our Red Leaf City. Do we need to take care of these people? ?”

Erica asked.

"That's not necessary. Those who came by themselves without notice, there is no need to give them these benefits. Our Red Leaf City has not had guests for so long, so we have to make some money no matter what!"

"Yes! Also, our soldiers are all ready, and the artillery you developed can be put into battle at any time. When will we launch an attack on Yunhai City?"

"Since we want to kill chickens, how can we do it without monkeys!"

Zhang Feng said with a smile.

"Ah, what chicken and monkey?"

Erica didn't understand.

Zhang Feng smiled and didn't explain too much. He thought for a while and said:

"Let the soldiers get ready and set off in three days."

"Yes!"

...

...

Time is like running water, three days later.

That is, on the 30th day of the first month of the Hongye calendar, all the people that Zhang Feng had notified before, except for Yunhai City, basically all came, which was regarded as giving Zhang Feng enough face.

Red Leaf Hospitality Hotel.

This is a six-storey building specially used by Zhang Feng for official reception.

Only people with decent status approved by the City Lord's Mansion, such as nobles, lords, etc., can stay in it, and there is no charge for it, but the luxury level is much worse than that of the Red Leaf Hotel, so it can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

However, as long as you have money, you can live in the Hongye Hotel, but you may not necessarily be able to live in the Hongye Hospitality Hotel if you have money. Both parties have their own merits.

Those lords were arranged by Zhang Feng at the Red Leaf Hospitality Hotel.

Of course, for Zhang Feng, this is not a luxury hotel, but for those who come here for the first time, this place is simply paradise!

Even many people have been in the hotel for three days.

Because the free food here is really delicious!

But today, they have to come out if they don't want to, because the order of Lord Marquis has come!

At this moment, no one would doubt Zhang Feng's identity as Marquis anymore. If he doubted it any more, he would really have a brain problem!

"Good morning, Viscount Keats!"

"Morning, Viscount Robbins!"

"..."

After a delicious breakfast, the group arrived at the City Lord's Mansion together.

On the way, even if it was not the first time they saw those strange orcs, they still had a lot of novelty.

"I didn't expect that there are orcs living in Hongye City! And they can coexist peacefully with humans. It's really...interesting!"

"I saw these orcs for the first time, and I was shocked... I heard that these orcs have good personalities, but I dare not touch them..."

"But judging by their size, they must be able to work really well!"

"In terms of work, I think the steam engine is still powerful, but the steam engine of Lord Marquis is not allowed to be visited, so I can only look at it from a distance..."

Everyone was discussing, and when they came to the city lord's mansion, the discussion gradually became quieter and quieter.

The City Lord's Mansion of Hongye City is very big and beautiful, they know it, but because there are soldiers patrolling here all the time, no one is allowed to approach, so they can only watch from a distance.

Today is actually the first time for them to observe the City Lord's Mansion so closely.

Everyone was amazed.

This is the City Lord's Mansion?

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a palace!

However, Hongye City is so big that there is a palace in it, which does not violate peace at all. On the contrary, such an exquisite and beautiful palace has raised the level of Hongye City a lot.

Under the leadership of the soldiers, a group of people walked into the palace like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden.

"Wow! This, this is a crystal lamp!"

"This roof is so beautiful!"

"Look at the ground, is this a gold brick?"

Everyone is already restraining, but this is really unbearable!

"Even the royal palace is probably nothing more than this!"

"No, you're wrong. This Viscount was lucky enough to go to the palace once. Compared with Lord Marquis's place, it's simply p... Ahem, it can't be compared anyway!"

"I'm really envious, I really want to wake up and see such a magnificent picture..."

"..."

"My lord, everyone has brought them."

Everyone was chatting in low voices along the way, and when they heard what the soldiers reported, they quickly raised their heads, and saw a handsome young man in a black dress sitting on a seat made of pure gold and crystal directly in front of him.

He was in a lazy posture, propped his chin with one hand, and looked at everyone with interest.

"very young!"

A male nobleman said in surprise, they thought that Lord Marquis should be an old man, and he would be a middle-aged man even if he stepped back ten thousand steps. After all, this is a Marquis, and one step further, that is the highest status that a nobleman can reach!

"so beautiful!"

And those few female nobles, the first thing they noticed was Zhang Feng's appearance, and even their eyes were already shining!

"Welcome everyone, I am Zhang Feng."

Zhang Feng greeted with a smile.

"I have seen Lord Marquis Zhang Feng!"

Everyone responded quickly.

"Excuse me. Are you still used to the food you have eaten in Hongye City these two days?"

Zhang Feng asked with concern.

Seeing that Lord Marquis is so approachable, everyone immediately opened their mouths to talk.

"Reporting to Lord Marquis, the place you arranged is the most comfortable place I have ever lived in in my life, even more comfortable than my City Lord's Mansion!"

"That's right, compared to this place, my City Lord's Mansion is not even as good as a kennel!"

"And the food here is really delicious! Although I have never eaten the food in the palace, I feel that the food in the palace is nothing more than this!"

"This Viscount is fortunate to have eaten the food in the palace. I can only say that compared with the food in the palace, compared with the food in the palace, it's just a lump...cough cough."

Perhaps because of the remoteness of the place, these nobles did not respect the king as much as Zhang Feng imagined, and kept belittling the king's capital to flatter Zhang Feng.

Of course, disrespect is disrespect, and what should be listened to should be listened to.

"I'm relieved to see that you are all well."

Zhang Feng smiled again, his sunny smile made people feel like spring breeze.

"Where is it, Lord Marquis is too polite!"

"Thank you, Lord Marquis!"

"..."

Everyone complimented again.

Zhang Feng accepted everything with a smile. After everyone finished speaking, Zhang Feng stood up from the chair, walked in front of everyone, and said with a smile:

"But some people don't obey my order, what do you say?"

As soon as these words were said, the scene instantly fell silent.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, a little hesitant, this... is not easy to answer! They were not stupid, they saw at a glance that the people from Yunhai City were not here, but where is Yunhai City? They're all a group of desperadoes who want money but don't want to die. They don't want to cause trouble!

"I think, this kind of person, this kind of power, there is no need to exist, what do you think?"

Everyone remained silent and even lowered their heads.

At this time, they also recalled that this new Lord Marquis seems to be trying to stand up!

"Why, did you not hear what I said, or did you pretend not to hear? Huh?"

Zhang Feng looked at the crowd with some doubts, and his tone was off-putting, but everyone felt cold sweat coming down.

"Master Marquis, according to the laws of the kingdom, those who disobey the orders of the lord directly shall be punished!"

Robbins gritted his teeth and said.

He didn't want to say such offensive words, but he had to say that the knight's sixth sense told him that the Marquis in front of him was terrifying! If no one answers, they may have no good fruit to eat.

"That's right, the kingdom has this law, so... is there anyone willing to share my worries?"

As soon as Zhang Feng said this, everyone complained even more. This is to stand in line and vote for a certificate!

On the one hand, there is Lord Marquis, who seems to be very capable, but is the first contact with him, and on the other hand, there is the notorious Yunhai City, which has existed for decades. If this one is careless, it will be fatal!

How should I choose?
