195, May 2
May 2, rain.
The rainy day didn't make Sean, a water mage, feel any discomfort at all, and he was in a better mood.
...
8 am.
Sean ordered someone to post an advertisement at the east gate of the city:
Civilians from Yoen City who are willing to work in Hetan Town will be exempted from 50% of the tax for one year and 25% of the tax for the second year;
If they are unwilling to work in farming but are willing to go to Riverbank Town, Sean will provide them with a job with a salary that is 20% higher than the average standard in Jorn City.
At the same time, Sean also recruited craftsmen from all walks of life to go to Riverside Town in the notice, and the salary was 50% higher than the average level in Jorn City.
Of course, the premise is to abide by the laws of Hetan Town. If you need it, you can gather outside the north gate of the city at noon tomorrow.
…
However, it is a pity that the literacy rate of ordinary civilians in Yohn City is very low, so Sean's notice did not cause any waves.
Fortunately, the River Family is sending people to the Elf Forest to search for Vivian, and they have no time to worry about Sean's poaching behavior.
...
9 am.
Sean came to the luxury store and met Sean, the paladin who came to seek refuge.
At Sean's suggestion, Sean rushed to the Mercenary Guild to meet with the new leader of the Silver Hourglass Mercenary Group.
Then, Sean hired the Silver Hourglass mercenary group to publicize the benefits on the notice just posted to civilians in civilian areas.
After the Silver Hourglass Mercenary Group spread the word, many civilians knew about it.
Coupled with Sean's status as the "Holy Son of the Church" and his good reputation as "loving the people like a son" in Palomia, many civilians expressed their willingness to live in Hetan Town permanently.
And many civilians and craftsmen have already begun to pack their luggage and prepare to set off.
...
10 o'clock in the morning.
Sean was shopping on York Street when he heard from idle people nearby that Robert was parading in the city with the [Black Young Dragon].
So Sean went back to his residence, changed his clothes, put on the "Shadow Mask", and then approached the parade alone.
Although Sean did not bring Windsor with him this time, he was not afraid. After all, Sean was already a bronze-level mage and had a strong ability to protect himself.
In the past three days, [Black Hatchling] has followed Sean's instructions and has been very obedient to Robert, so Robert did not lock it in the cage but put it on his shoulder.
After Sean approached the parade, he ordered the [Black Hatchling] to leave Robert and fly away.
Robert didn't expect that the little guy who had always been obedient to him would suddenly betray him.
Caught off guard, Robert could only watch the [Black Hatchling] fly away.
In a deserted alley, Sean approached the [Black Hatchling] and took it back into the system, then quickly returned to his residence.
...
The sudden flight of the [Black Hatchling] caused an explosive sensation in the city of Jon.
The people of the River Family had been anxiously searching for Vivian, and now they were anxiously searching for the [Black Hatchling], and they were suddenly extremely busy.
Sean also wanted to join in the fun.
So he found the anxious butler William and asked about the young dragon's debt, but received an anxious reply from the butler William:
The debt was originally prepared, but it suddenly disappeared. No one knows where it went. Maybe it was intercepted by the God of the Earth with his mind!
Sean severely condemned their shameful behavior and said that if they didn't pay them, they would stay in the Golden Wolf King Castle.
Butler William had a lot of things to do, so he had no choice but to pay back 5,000 gold coins first.
Sean left the castle cursingly with 5,000 gold coins.
...
1 pm.
Sean and Donald Hill's butler met in a luxury store.
Donald Hill was under house arrest in the Golden Wolf King Castle because he cuckolded the Marquis of Rivers, so he had no choice but to send his butler.
The Marquis of River was very angry about being cuckolded. He was very angry.
After all, he had been fighting with Brandon Hill all his life, but he didn't expect to be dealt a knowing blow by that old guy's son.
Although the Marquis of Rivers and his wife were in a political marriage and each had his own way of doing things, which man would accept it when word spread about it?
But the River family has now formed an "unbreakable alliance" with the Hill family, so the Marquis of River can only put Donald under house arrest first and deal with it later.
But this time, Butler Donald received great authorization, and Sean, him, and Luo Dian discussed the export of spirits and perfumes.
Soon, the three of them finalized their cooperation.
In order not to affect the local ale price in Yohn City, Donald's butler also introduced Sean to a channel to purchase grain, which could import a large amount of grain from the Kingdom of Anjou from Port Caple.
After solving the food problem, Luodian can recruit workers with confidence, increase production capacity, and then sell spirits and perfume to Vernes.
3pm.
After settling the business matters, Sean went to the "Blue Oak" magic supplies store opposite and bought Vivian a set of accessories that could increase the efficiency of meditation, and also replenished a batch of potions for practice.
Then, Sean also went to the Magic Guild to replenish a batch of unread books, and went to the Fighters Guild to buy a batch of books that recorded how warriors' fighting spirit operates and combat skills.
On the one hand, these books can be given to Windsor to relieve his boredom. Although Windsor is very strong, he can also "take the essence and discard the dross"; on the other hand, he can also go back to cultivate warriors and archers in the territory.
As for the fighting skills, Sean had obtained them from Lucio a long time ago, but he just hadn't used them yet.
...
17:00.
Sean returned to his residence and wrote a letter to Anduin, telling him about the situation here and asking Thor to welcome the goods delivered by the Flame Cross Mercenary Group.
After writing the letter, Sean asked the guard to deliver the letter to Hetan Town.
...
7pm.
Sean held a dinner at his residence, invited businessmen of all sizes from Yoen City, and promised that if they went to Hetan Town to do business, he would give him a 33% tax reduction for them in the first year.
At the same time, Sean also showed them his abundant funds, saying that they would definitely make a lot of money by going to Hetan Town.
Many small businessmen expressed their willingness to do business in Hetan Town.
The big businessmen were very well-informed. They had smelled the smell of war very early, so they did not express their stance.
Sean doesn't care either.
The dinner was held this time just to let businessmen know about their tax reduction policies.
When the war is over, they will pounce like sharks smelling blood.
...
9 pm.
The dinner party hosted by Sean officially ended.
After declining the invitations of several business ladies to "have a nice night together", Sean went back to his room and started practicing.
12 am.
Today's training is completed, Sean's experience value has reached level 20, 942/1200, and he will be able to reach level 21 in one day.
“I don’t know if the upgrade reward for level 21 will be [Silver Emblem].”
Chapter completed!
