Who taught him to restore the country like this

Chapter 15 Is it so fast?

"Is there a problem?"

Ron got off the carriage and looked at the orc girl who was not even half his waist tall and asked softly.

"Yes... please..." The orc girl lowered her head and stared at the ground. She looked so nervous that she spoke hesitantly.

After a while, he finally uttered a complete sentence: "Please save my friend."

His dirty hands were clenched tightly in front of his stomach, as if he had used all his strength to say this.

Although he was very scared, he still stood up for his friend.

That's really courageous.

"Where are your friends?" Ron reached out and rubbed the cute little guy's head.

Feeling the touch on her head, Renee's body visibly tensed up, thinking she was going to be beaten again.

She stiffened her body and waited for a long time, and found that the big hand above her head was just caressing her simply, and gradually, she felt relieved.

"I don't know," she replied, shaking her head. "We were captured together. They should be here too."

Ron understood this.

The slaves he freed last night were only a small part; there were still many slaves in the hands of slave traders in other towns in the Grey Mist Territory.

The little guy's friends may be in the hands of those slave traders.

"What's your friend's name?" he asked.

"Noel, Bella," Renee said two names immediately: "They have the same ears as me."

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it."

It was just a matter of convenience, so Ron agreed.

Even without Renee's request, he would have liberated all the slaves in the Gray Mist Territory today.

Upon hearing this, Renee looked up in surprise and thanked him, "Thank you. I will definitely repay you."

Looking at the little guy's serious expression, Ron asked with a smile, "How are you going to repay me?"

"me……"

Ron is a noble lord.

I am a slave, I have neither strength nor talent.

She couldn't think of anything she could do for Ron.

After thinking for a long time, I managed to say unconfidently: "I will work hard."

"That would be great, I'm looking forward to it."

Ron rubbed the little guy's head for the last time, got into the carriage and left with a smile.

Renee stared blankly at the carriage going away.

Before she mustered up the courage to approach Ron, she had already prepared herself to be scolded and beaten.

But Ron's big palm was so warm, and his voice was so gentle...

It's too easy and it feels unreal.

"What are you doing here?"

Reggie came over.

Renee panicked and bowed her head to apologize: "I'm sorry, I'll go to work right away."

She said this and trotted off towards her work area.

"Don't go near him, he's dangerous."

As an orc, Reggie looked at Renee's thin back and kindly reminded her.

She saw everything that happened between Renee and Ron just now.

Hearing what Reggie said, Renee stopped. She turned her back to Reggie, hesitated for a moment, and responded loudly: "Your Majesty Ron is a good man, he is not dangerous."

Then he ran away as if escaping.

Reggie stood there in a daze.

I didn't expect Renee to give such an answer.

Ron is a good guy?
She doesn't know.

Ron always did whatever he thought of, never caring about other people's opinions, and exuded a mysterious confidence that he was absolutely right.

But which of these three things he did doesn't sound outrageous?
Anyway, Reggie thought Ron was wrong.

Absolutely wrong! But...did he really do something wrong?

What Renee had just said kept echoing in Reggie's head.

……

As a lord, there are only two ways to gain reputation: through external wars and internal construction and development.

Ron is confident that he can do well in both aspects.

But sometimes you don’t have to do something just because you know how to do it.

We must learn to assess the situation and adjust our strategies appropriately, and not do things that we know are impossible.

Just like the current situation in the Grey Mist Territory, if Ron focused on military development, no matter how well he performed, he would not be able to gain prestige.

It will only lead to complaints from the people.

Imagine that people from other countries broke into your county, occupied the county, and then summoned the people in the county to attack your country. Would you support him?
The answer is obvious.

So Ron had no choice but to plunge into construction and development.

The common people in this world are lowly. Although they will not betray their lords, they are not willing to sacrifice their lives for their lords.

As long as you throw money at them and don't force them to do anything against your principles, no matter how much they resist, they will still remember Ron's kindness in the short term.

If there is enough time and we can win the hearts of the people, it is not a bad idea to develop the military.

Of course, this is just something to think about. The Emerald Kingdom will not give him so much time to develop.

Ron had no intention of developing the military. He just hoped that the Emerald Kingdom's counterattack would not come so quickly so that he could accumulate more reputation.

But the more you don't want something to happen, the more likely it is to happen.

Not long after Ron returned to Lingfeng City, he suddenly felt something and looked towards the horizon.

The dusk barrier was broken.

Tsk.

Do you want it to be so fast?

It was only the next day that the Emerald Kingdom noticed something unusual in the Gray Mist Territory.

Ron couldn't understand why the news leaked so quickly. After all, there were no telephones in this world. With the gray fog blocking magic, there was no way to transmit messages through magic.

After much thought, the only possibility was that Byron, who was out purchasing something, leaked the news.

There was no time to wonder if he had trusted the wrong person. The gray fog carried Ron towards the uninvited guest. He had to deal with him before the other party made a big noise.

Otherwise, if the news of the barrier being broken spreads, all these civilians will run away and he will be out of fun.

The gray fog in the sky was like Ron's retina, covering the entire gray fog territory and easily locking onto the opponent's position.

Near the western border with another marquisate.

There was a suspicious figure covered in a black robe.

Perhaps because of the gray fog, the other party did not choose to go deep into the gray fog territory.

Ron glanced outside the gray fog and saw no army.

"It seems he's just a rat who came to gather information." He breathed a sigh of relief.

If the opponent can break the dusk barrier, he must have seventh-level magic.

The seventh-level magic has already come into contact with the laws. With his 20% power compatibility, it is not easy to kill the other party.

In this situation, if the other party came with an army of tens of thousands, he would probably have to run away in disgrace like a prodigal dog.

The range of Decay's ability is 10 meters. Ron did not approach it rashly. He mobilized the gray fog to concentrate here, intending to consume the magic power in its body first.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the gray fog moved, the other party quickly condensed a huge ball of light and smashed it towards him.

"What the hell!"

Ron, whose position was somehow locked, quickly dodged and narrowly avoided the ball of light.

boom!
The deafening explosion resounded through the sky.

Ron turned his head to look behind him and saw a huge pit a hundred meters wide that appeared out of nowhere.

Damn...

Ron decisively gave up the idea of ​​continuing the attack.

It's not that I'm scared.

But... he knew this magic.
