The Original Vampire

Outside Winter City.

A wild boar farm was established on the east bank of the River Run.

The thatch-built pig houses are closely connected, each about a dozen square meters in size. There are seven or eight wild boars packed with fat and fat, which are arching into the trough, humming and eating the feed thrown by the farmer.

Anyone who has been to a pigsty will never forget the unspeakable stench. Therefore, pigs have always been considered unclean animals by nobles compared to cattle and sheep, and they are rarely willing to eat them.

But now, this wild boar farm was established by the Saint Hilde family, the Lord of the North.

"How many wild boars are there in this farm?" Turnance asked with interest, looking at the smelly wild boars in front of him.

"There are about 5,000 wild boars." The Archbishop of the North, Adjani, followed respectfully and replied.

She would never have imagined that when she came to greet the cardinal, who was second only to the Pope in the Glory Church, she found that the other party had entered the stinking pig house.

Turnance, however, didn't seem to care about the red tape or the embarrassment of the location at all, and asked calmly and calmly:

"How many wild boar farms are there in the north now?"

"As far as I know, there are about fifteen farms of this scale in the entire northern region, and there are also many farmer families who also raise some wild boars, but the scale is definitely not comparable to the farms built by nobles. ."

Tournance roughly estimated the number of wild boars, and suddenly said with emotion: "That's really a lot."

He carefully looked at the wild boar in front of him and asked, "Why are these wild boars different from the ones I've seen before? They're whiter, bigger, and more lazy and docile."

"This is a breed specially bred by Bachelor Sonny. It is called a domestic pig by Count Angele. They have fewer bristles, and their fangs have also degenerated. A breed that is more suitable for breeding than ordinary wild boars."

"Maester Sonny? Is that the former Agriculture Minister of the Granto family?"

"Yes."

Tournance nodded and praised: "Sonny Granto is indeed a capable person, but unfortunately, he is stubborn and doesn't know how to be flexible. I didn't expect that the Duke of the North would be able to tolerate him, and he had the courage to show him what he wanted. long."

Archbishop Adjani's eyes moved slightly and smiled: "Lord Tournance, in fact, the person who promotes the new farming and pastoral system of Bachelor Sonny in the North is not the Duke of the North, but the Count of Angele, the guardian of the North. "

"Oh?" Turnance's heart moved slightly, but he didn't struggle with this issue. Instead, he asked some more about the promotion of the new farming and animal husbandry system in the north.

Adjani also gave answers one by one.

Turnance listened silently as he walked outside the farm, asking a few questions from time to time.

When the group left the range of the farm, the air suddenly became much fresher.

Tournance couldn't help but took a few deep breaths and sighed:

"Originally, I was a little curious when I traveled all the way. The current situation in the north is much better than I thought, and it has recovered from the famine so quickly, as if the two previous turmoils had never happened at all.

Now I finally understand that I am afraid that this new farming and animal husbandry system has contributed a lot! "

Adjani smiled slightly, gathered her hair that had been ruffled by the spring breeze, and said, "Sir Cardinal, after all, this new farming and pastoral system has only been promoted for more than half a year. To say that the people from the north really fill their stomachs, it is thanks to a series of measures by Count Angele."

"Oh?" Turnance asked immediately, "what measures?"

Adjani then recounted all the policies that Ke Lin has implemented in the north for more than a year, including the new farming and animal husbandry system, the issuance of grain bonds, the establishment of the north foreign trade company, and so on.

After hearing this, Turnance couldn't help but sighed: "I originally thought that the guardian of the north was already amazing and brilliant in the military, but I didn't expect that he actually has such a talent for governing! Hehe,

After another ten years of practice, it will be more than enough to be the Prime Minister of the Empire. "

Adjani carefully observed Tournance's face and smiled tentatively: "Your Excellency Cardinal, are you cherishing talent?"

Turnance took a deep look at the Archbishop of the North beside him, but his cloudy eyes seemed to be able to penetrate all her thoughts:

"Adjani, have you guessed the mission that the Pope sent me to the North?"

Adjani smiled lightly and said, "Is there any other reason for you to come to the North at this time?"

Tournance was silent for a moment and asked, "What do you think then?"

"I think that if Earl Angelie dies young, it must be a loss to the empire, and even more to the human race!" Adjani said solemnly, "Also, the interception of tithing by the lords of the East is intolerable. , but it is not irreversible.

At least they themselves claimed that this was just a stopgap measure in response to the orc invasion.

So why don't you talk to Earl Angeli first? "

Turnance looked at Adjani quietly for a long time before he said quietly: "Adjani, you should be clear about your position, and you should know the bottom line of the church."

Adjani lightly pursed her red lips, looked at Turnance calmly, and said:

"Sir Cardinal, I have always believed that you are a pure and noble believer. You will definitely be able to see the chaotic and complicated hearts and find those knights who can be inspired by the glory of our Lord!"

"Pure? Noble?" Turnance laughed at himself, "Do you really think that my red robe was obtained through pureness and nobility?"

Adjani's face froze, and she didn't know how to respond.

Before Adjani could answer, Turnance suddenly smiled and said, "However, I also think I should meet this guardian of the north."

Adjani breathed a sigh of relief and smiled sweetly: "I believe you will not be disappointed."

Tournance glanced at Adjani with a deep meaning, then stopped talking, and boarded the carriage that came to greet him.

The carriage went all the way north, and finally reached Winter City before sunset.

After entering the city, Turnance opened his eyes from his dormant, raised the curtain of the car, and observed the situation in the city.

Suddenly, Turnance pointed curiously at the long queue of people on the street and asked, "What are they doing?"

Adjani replied with a smile: "They are lining up to buy welfare lottery tickets."

"Welfare lottery?"

"Yes." Adjani immediately explained to Turnance how the welfare lottery was played and its usefulness.

After a long silence, Tournance suddenly asked again:

"Is this charitable foundation really using the proceeds of the lottery to build orphanages and help the orphans, the poor and the poor?"

"Yes. At present, more than ten welfare homes have been built in the north, and there is one in Winter City. Would you like to take a look?"

There was an inexplicable light in Turnance's turbid eyes, and he nodded:

"it is good."
