The Black Knight from the Blue Planet

"The nineteenth batch of group hires includes men, women, and some children. They are a big family, with a total of fifty-six people. The starting price is 50 silver coins. Raise your hand if you want."

"I want it!" Mr. Bayi raised his right hand and shouted.

Now there are fewer and fewer gray orcs behind the high platform. Although the price is more expensive, about one-third higher than before, but thinking about the output that this group of gray orcs can bring, Mr. Bayi still firmly raises the price. He raised his right hand.

More than one hundred acres of land and fifty-six workers are barely enough.

Those who were slow to raise their hands sighed helplessly.

The new lord didn't hold any auctions. Whoever shouted the fastest would buy it first.

But each person can only bid once, so there is no need to worry about someone hoarding goods.

Then Mr. Bayi went backstage to see these newly hired gray orcs. He looked at their muscles and teeth and was very satisfied.

The lord's after-sales service is very good, and he will send several silver-armored warriors to escort these gray orcs to their homes.

Place it in those large houses specially used to store farming tools.

Seeing these gray orcs eating and drinking in the room, Bayi suddenly felt that the good old days were back.

And his old wife was even wiping tears from the corners of her eyes.

Finally, I no longer have to leave my hometown.

The news about the employment of gray orcs spread throughout the city at an extremely fast speed.

The first three days were a large-scale hiring meeting for the gentry.

Starting from the fourth day, it is small-scale employment for ordinary people.

Usually there are 3-10 people. In this case, only ordinary people can participate in bidding.

And the gentry will not compete with ordinary people for the employment rights of these gray orcs.

They still want to save face.

The employment of gray orcs lasted for more than a month, and almost everyone in Tacoma City re-hired gray orcs to work for them.

The killings and looting on the streets have completely disappeared, and there are signs of a return to prosperity.

In the lord's mansion, Hardy was looking at the intelligence information.

In recent times, in addition to paying attention to the employment of gray orcs, he also paid close attention to the situation of the gentry and leaders of various industries in the city.

He also had a basic understanding of which people were more down-to-earth and who liked to cause trouble.

And he has already targeted several people suspected of major tax evasion.

They were just short of a suitable opportunity to arrest them, put them on trial, and then hang them up for people to see.

He was handling government affairs, while Sophia stood aside, waiting quietly.

She is now a qualified head maid and knows what her responsibilities are.

In the past month, from what she had seen and heard, she knew that this young man was a far more capable lord than her husband.

Within five days of my first arrival, the vandalism and looting on the street had almost been completely resolved.

After that, boxes of gold coins were delivered to my home every day.

Now people throughout Tacoma County are full of praise for him and have long forgotten the kindness of the Tacoma family back then.

Thinking of this, Sophia felt a little sad.

Tacoma has been operating here for almost two hundred years, but it's not as good as this boy's kindness in just one month?

Humans are really heartless.

While she was thinking wildly, she suddenly heard the young man say: "Sophia, go and prepare a midnight snack for me. A glass of milk and some meat will do. Prepare some simple midnight snacks for all the servants."

"Okay, Master."

Sophia walked out of the study and met Gui Wenir in the corridor who was hiding in the guest room.

"Why don't you go to bed yet?"

"I'm hungry." The little girl said aggrievedly.

"The master said that he has to prepare midnight snacks for everyone. You also have a share. Please bear with it for a while and go back to your room first."

Gui Wenir nodded vigorously.

Sophia informed the kitchen to do some work, and soon Hardy's midnight snack was ready.

Then I started making some batter to eat.

Although it's just a batter, it's not bad for the servants.

Sophia added two extra pieces of meat to the batter, which was her privilege as the head maid.

She returned to the room with the batter and handed it to her daughter who had been waiting for a long time.

Although Gui Wenir was hungry, he didn't eat much. After eating half the bowl, he gave the rest to Sophia.

"Mom eats it too."

"Mom is not hungry."

"I'm full and my stomach is bloated."

Gui Wenir said with a smile while patting her bulging belly.

Sophia took the big bowl and slowly ate the remaining paste.

Gui Wenir leaned against Sophia's side, giggled happily for a while, and then asked: "Mom, can I go out to play tomorrow?"

There were gray orcs causing trouble outside before, and Sophia was worried about her daughter going out.

But now all the gray orcs have been 'recruited' by Hardy, and it is quite safe outside.

But Sophia was still worried about Gui Wenil going out.

She thought for a while and said, "Gui Wenil, can you just play on the grass at home?"

"But this place is no longer home." Gui Weinil raised his head and said with great disappointment: "If I run around here, others will criticize me."

Sophia's heart thumped. She subconsciously looked at Gui Wenir and asked, "Who told you that?"

She was really a little angry.

This is not Gui Wenir's home, where is it?

The new lord is busy all day long and is upright, unlike someone who would say such things.

That can only be those servants who love to gossip.

If I could find out who it was, I would have to... Then Sophia's anger subsided.

So what if you know who said it?

She is just a head maid now, not a mistress.

Gui Wenir felt a little uncomfortable when she saw her mother's appearance. She suppressed her tears and said, "Mom, I won't go out to play. Don't be angry."

Seeing such a sensible daughter, Sophia hugged her in her arms and said softly: "Well, mom is not angry."

Half an hour later, Sophia put her daughter to sleep, took a bath, and then appeared in Hardy's study.

At this time, Hardy had just finished handling his scheduled official duties and was about to go to bed when he saw the head maid coming in.

He looked slightly surprised.

Because the head maid at this time was wearing very revealing pajamas.

The snow-colored northern hemisphere reflects a flash of orange light.

Sophia is a relatively self-loving woman.

During this period of time, she had never been polite to Hardy.

Hardy is also used to her character.

Now this happened suddenly... for what reason.

Hardy did not take the initiative to ask. Asking questions at this time is the behavior of a fool.

Hardy walked over, picked her up, put her on the desk, and blew out the oil lamp at the same time.

As time passed, the battlefield shifted from the study to Hardy's bedroom.

From the stars to the white fish belly in the sky.

Then Hardy finally let her go.

After all, Hardy has been holding back for a long time, so it is a good thing to have a channel to release excess energy.

At this time, Sophia was half asleep, holding Hardy's hand, and said instinctively: "Master, Gui Wenir needs a stepfather in name only!"

After Hardy was silent for a moment, he smiled and said, "Okay!"
