Chapter 165 The sturdy countess
"Damn!"
Diabroulo rode the giant horned deer and led the knights behind him who looked disgusted, running towards the castle in the middle of the city without any stop.
In the end, Diapolo was too lazy to take into account the limitations of his identity, and ignored the leaders around him who bowed and bowed because he saw his face, and flew directly into the air. Anyway, the golden-level knights also had the ability to flew.
After he moved, the evil dragons behind him could not bear it anymore and flew up one after another, crossing the streets in the city, and landing on the dilapidated terrace of the castle.
"Tomorrow, I will start to rectify the sanitation of this city!"
Looking down at the dilapidated but still prosperous city below, Diapolo said fiercely.
He pretended to be the Earl of Downton and naturally accepted his territory. To be honest, before entering this city, Diapolo was still thinking about how to manage and manage this border territory and develop it on the basis of the original basis.
But even though he had thousands of thoughts, he was still in a mess. He had not yet figured out what to do, but after entering the city, Diapolo knew what he should do first.
Hygiene! Hygiene! TMD is hygiene!
He really didn't expect that after he entered the city, he saw a dirty street scene with shit and urine flowing and flies flying around. This was so different from the border city he imagined.
The bustling streets where people and cars came and went, mercenaries and adventurers were surrounded by feces of various livestock, and the smell was stenchy. Among them, there were also human excrement, which was even more disgusting. This was simply a Xiangcheng City.
Diapolo really couldn't accept the tragic scene that caught his eye, so that he stopped breathing the moment he entered the city.
Although he had no obsession with cleanliness, he could not walk on the streets covered with flies. So after walking for only a few hundred meters, he could not bear it and flew into the castle.
This city is completely different from what he had seen in the past, and is many times behind him as he imagined. Although the capital of the Principality has not been advanced, it should be because of the residence of the legendary wizard, so it has a complete sewage discharge system and the streets are clean and tidy.
As for the two different worlds he entered before, it is natural to say that their cleanliness and hygiene is impossible to compare with the city in his eyes.
"I must transform this city!"
Diapolo's tone was decisive, with an unquestionable firmness, and behind him, the evil dragons nodded one after another.
Although dragons can tolerate extremely harsh environments, being able to tolerate and liking is different. Except for some extremely special biological races, almost no creature likes to live in a city full of excrement.
"Master, you are back!"
An old man with gorgeous hair but still strong figure appeared on the watchtower with two male servants with swordsmanship. After seeing Diapolo, he showed joy on his face and saluted Dipolo meticulously.
"Carter, you're here just right."
Although it was only the first time I met the old man before him, with the cooperation of the real Earl of Downton, Diapollo could immediately call out the old man's name - this is the manager of this castle, butler Carter.
"Call all the maids and male servants in the castle, and now do a big cleaning for me immediately to clear all the filthy things in the castle!"
"As for orders, Lord Earl."
Although he was surprised that the Count who had just returned from the capital would issue such an order, the old man obediently followed this order.
"Oh, by the way, where is Catherine?"
Seeing the old man taking the servant to take his orders, Diapolo called him to inquire about the movements of the wife of Earl Downton.
"Mrs. led the Knights to suppress the bandits. There seemed to be another robber in the territory. After you left, the caravans passing by were much less because of the robbers."
"Yeah, I get it."
Diapolo nodded, with no surprise on his face. He had already learned from the mouth of Earl of Downton that his wife was not the delicate vases in the capital with all her thoughts.
The ladies of the border aristocrats are different from those of ordinary noble women. In dangerous areas where fighting and even wars occur, the standards for border aristocrats to choose their lifelong companions are naturally different.
Appearance and figure are the criteria for the bottom of consideration. Force, potential, and even the family power behind them are the top choices. Therefore, the wives of the aristocrats on the border may not be very good-looking, but they are either able to fight, but they are either powerful and powerful.
Downton's wife is a very capable person. According to Conton's introduction, his wife was not even born in a prominent family, she was just a knight's daughter, but her cultivation talent is very good and she has extremely high combat talent.
When he was very young, he was attracted by his father and chose to be his partner. In a sense, his wife could be regarded as his childhood sweetheart. Therefore, Downton said that Diapolo could not disguise in front of his wife.
But Diapolo wanted to give it a try. No matter who it is, he will have some rebellious mentality to more or less. The same is true for him. It is impossible to challenge him. What if it is done, it really doesn't work. If it is revealed, it can be suppressed with his strength.
While waiting for the countess to return to suppress the bandits, Diapolo, the returning border nobleman, launched a major urban transformation activity of "creating a civilized city and building a good environment".
Such a measure was actually not well received at the beginning of its implementation. It received a lot of negative feedback anyway, because the residents of this city have become accustomed to the flow of shit and urine in front of and behind the house.
The same is true for adventurers and past businessmen, and there are even many criticisms about this, believing that this is a dirty way for the nobles to scrape away the copper coins on their farts.
Urinate and defecate, dump garbage at will, and excrete past animals at will. These things that can be done as you wish in the past will be fined after the nobles come back.
For urban residents who are used to living in dung piles, Diapolo's actions are a kind of harsh policy and a tyranny, but Diapolo doesn't care about the complaints and dissatisfaction of urban residents.
He only knew that he could not bear the dirtyness of the city. And with the guarantee of absolute force, the entire city and even the surrounding villages must be changed by his will.
As the bandits planned to be captured were brought back by evil dragons disguised as knights, Diapolo's urban transformation plan also had the best labor force.
Therefore, in the territory of Earl of Downton, a border city with a permanent population of about 150,000 began a major transformation in full swing.
All the dirty filth that was originally covered with streets and alleys was removed. Then nearly a thousand arrested bandits began to dig out the rough and simple urban sewage system, and there was a public toilet with a distance of 500 meters.
There is no doubt that for this city, this is the second only to the construction of the Earl Castle. Although there are many criticisms and complaints, as the project progresses, it has received praise and praise.
After all, as long as you are a living creature, you will yearn for a better life and get used to darkness. That is because you have never seen the sun. As long as you have experienced a clean and hygienic living environment, it will be difficult to return to the city where shit and urine flowed.
"Mr. Catherine, there is another exciting victory!"
In a team of knights moving forward in the vast wilderness, a knight with three glaring eyes and a wide-eyed head on his gun, complimenting the only woman on her weapons and mounts without a bandit's head hanging on her arms.
"Um!"
The black hair tied into a bunch of ponytails fluttered in the wind, and the blood stains on the armor were stained with the overall clean and neat response. This was just an ordinary fight for her.
"I really don't know where these thieves got the courage to break into our territory. They are really seeking death!"
"It should have been wandering from other places, and I have never heard of the reputation of the Count or the Adults."
"I've been out for so long this time, and I don't know if the Count has come back?"
"It should be back."
"Look, Cecil's walls, we are going home soon. Knights, cheer up and prepare to welcome the cheers of the citizens!"
The knights who saw the outline of the city were excited because as usual, after their return from the bandit suppression, they would welcome cheers, celebrations, fine wine and barbecue, and of course, rewards for young girls who worshipped the brave knights.
However, when this team of knights came to the city gate, they were stunned in an instant. Without entering the city, they saw a city that was very different from before.
Just the streets they can see are full of tunnels being excavated everywhere. These wide tunnels are enough to accommodate two people walking side by side. On both sides of the tunnel are filled with mud piled up into hills, and the city seems to have become a large construction site.
"What's going on?"
Not only the Knights, but also the Countess Catherine, who had always been taciturn, could not help frowning.
"Madam, you are back!"
The city guards responsible for charging the passing caravans and mercenaries to enter the city. Seeing the flag fluttering and the strong bloody smell of the team, they immediately came up happily. There was even a pair of soldiers holding a stack of coarse cloth belts that were obviously rushing to work to cover the butt of the mount under the crotch of the knight team.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing the strange behavior of these city gate soldiers, Catherine raised her heroic eyebrows.
"Mrs. Please forgive me. This is the new rule set by the Earl after he came back. No matter whether it is a human or a livestock, it is allowed to be excreted to the streets. Violators will be severely punished!"
The knights responsible for managing the city guards also rushed over and explained to the bandit suppression team in a hurried manner.
"You actually used the rules set by Lord Earl, Lochi, you are so brave!"
Hearing this explanation, the knights in the bandit suppression team were immediately dissatisfied. He happened to see a caravan entering the city paying coins, buying cloth bags and putting them behind the butts of the animals pulling carts.
He actually wanted to be like a pariah, without privilege. He could not bear such equal treatment.
