361 Vignette
In the past year, the population of Tonggu City has increased a little more, which is the effect that Greenton brought about after becoming a legend.
This world is dangerous and complex. Ordinary people face professionals and strange monsters and wild beasts outside the city, and they have almost no resistance. In addition, ordinary people also have to deal with the invasion of hooligans and gangsters who are also ordinary people. It is not easy for ordinary people to be in this world.
A powerful and kind lord can control the above problems to an acceptable level. People are animals who know how to seek profit and avoid harm. It is not strange for Glinton to have strength and benevolent government. It is not strange for ordinary people to migrate to his territory.
The castle is towering. Although it is just sitting on the balcony of the study on the third floor, Beta can overlook the scenery of the entire Tonggu City by just one side. Combined with his talent of "Yunlong Blue Eyes", he can see the expressions of every pedestrian on every street.
"Your city is getting more and more prosperous." Beta sighed.
Greenton shook his head: "It's not your credit. The Wojin Temple you built has now built the entire city's roads, established a rescue mechanism, taught people to learn for free, and trained priests. And the most rare thing is that the Wojin Temple never interferes in urban decision-making, which is very good, I like it very much."
The development of Tonggu City, as Betaber expected, was a good thing. The better the development of the Woking Temple, the more the subsequent sacred wars will survive and grow in troubled times.
Greenton looked at Beta and continued, "It's just that there are not many people who remember you now, Ms. Shirley. After all, you have been away from Tonggu City for a while. The civilians are forgetful creatures. They will only remember who gave them food and who helped them repair their houses now, and not who dug the well for them."
This was also expected by Beta, who waved his hand calmly: "It doesn't matter, the public's way of living, and the people who should remember what I do, that's all."
Greenton had a smile on his handsome face: "You are indeed the same as in your dreams, and your pride is engraved in your bones... Yes, your golden son's eyes will only be placed on more powerful creatures, such as demons, legendary powerhouses, or gods."
Speaking of this, Greenton's cheek twitched. He still remembered that in the dream, the sons of the Gold attacked the goddess of the forest and almost succeeded in killing the god... At that time, he was so angry that he almost broke up with Beta. Thinking about it now, he was really "too cute" at that time.
"In this world, people always have to do challenging things to be happy." Beta smiled: "I have such a very exciting task now. I want to go out to Holevin for a walk. Do you want to get together?"
Greenton's face was moved. He remembered the days of wandering around with Beta and completing epic tasks in his dream. It was so happy that even when he remembered it now, he could still feel the blood in his body surging.
But he thought for a while and finally smiled bitterly: "I think, but I can't... My current identity determines that I can only stay in the territory and stay in Holevin. If I dare to go abroad, not only will the royal family be scared, but other countries will also be scared, which is very troublesome."
It is indeed very troublesome. After all, Greenton is a "official" member of Holevin. He is a lord and the kind who leads troops.
In fact, this is not a big problem. The real problem is that Glinton is a legendary strongman. Any legendary strongman can cause huge disasters as long as he arrives at other people's territory and fights at will once, and it is not difficult to destroy a city.
There is no problem with the extra-staff personnel like Beta. Although he is also a lord and an official staff member, except for some people in Holevens, who know his name and ability, not many people know him.
"Do you regret being the head of the family?"
Beta knew very well that Greenton's obsession in the past was recognized by the family. Now that he has become the head of the family, he is still a legend. In theory, this obsession should have disappeared.
Greenton hesitated for a while, and finally nodded and admitted: "Repent, really regret. I only realized more than fifty years ago that other people's opinions actually have no meaning to me. It's just that I have now carried the family on my shoulders and have a responsibility. Even if I regret it, I can't throw it away casually."
Responsibility is a bad thing. As long as you carry it, few people can remove it.
But it is also a good thing, and it can test whether a person is responsible.
Beta raised his glass and signaled Greenton that a legend was willing to give up his freedom and be bound to a small family, which was a rare thing in itself.
"Although I can't go, I think Alice can go with you." Greenton smiled and said, "The child is in a bad mood recently. If you go out for a walk with you, you may be happy."
"Alice is indeed a good help." Beta nodded: "But the enemy we are going to deal with this time is very powerful, and I can't guarantee that Alice will not be surprised."
"It doesn't matter. That strong man did not grow up in the sea of blood in battle." Greenton smiled gently, "And now Alice is in her 140s. If it were a human concept, living in her 140s is long enough. Even if there is an accident, she will not suffer any loss."
Beta's main purpose this time was to invite Alice. He knew very well that it would be difficult for Greenton to leave the country, and according to the task prompts, the true vampire ancestor stayed in other countries.
Although Alice is not as good as Kyle in single combat capabilities, her group combat capabilities are quite strong. As long as she protects her, she can provide a large number of tree people and cannibal vines to participate in the battle. Although these little things are not very strong, as long as there are too many, it can still cause great trouble to strong enemies. If the enemy level is weaker than her, she will even feel despair about such almost endless summons.
The biggest weakness of a summoner is that he is fragile and has poor mobility... But the elf summoner is a special profession and does not have this shortcoming. The unicorn that Alice sat down ran very fast and can only run on land at present. After the strength comes, he is versatile in sea, land and air, and is good at lightning magic. It is almost impossible for ordinary professions to get close to Alice.
"I'm afraid Alice won't leave here."
Beta said lightly, he knew very well how loyal the elves were to love. Fortunately, Alice was a mixed-blood elves. If she was a purebred elves, Alice would probably be so sad that she was bedridden because the person she loved ignored him.
"I am her father, I know her character very well. It's time for you to talk to her now." Greenton raised his cup with a smile.
Come out from Greenton, Beta sees three girls chatting happily in the living room.
Shirley and Emma smiled sincerely, but Alice forced herself to smile.
Seeing Beta coming, Shirley waved and said, "How is it, is Greenton willing to assist us?"
"He cannot leave Holevin because of his identity." Beta walked to the table and sat down, and said to Alice: "But he recommended you to me. Would you like me to go out with me? It would be dangerous to explain in advance."
"It's okay, it's better to go out for a walk than stay here." Alice smiled miserably: "If you die, you might not have worked so hard."
"Don't take too much from Kyle's matter." Beta gently patted Alice on the shoulder and comforted her.
At this time, someone next to him suddenly shouted: "Let go of your dirty hands and don't touch my aunt Zeng with it."
This is Greenton's castle, and there will naturally be several guards around to protect them. The man who made a sound was no different from the costumes of other guards, but Beta stared at the other ones at this time and exclaimed: "Second Knight?"
He turned his gaze to Alice and asked, "You can enfeoff?"
Alice nodded: "This is one of the direct descendants of my father. Until now, I was the only one who could inherit his half-elves' blood. He was considered a relatively talented person among the many descendants. My father asked me to enthrone him as a second-class knight for exercise."
While Alice was explaining to Beta, the guard walked straight over. He pointed his finger and pointed at Beta. When he was about to be arrogant, he suddenly held his head and screamed, almost kneeling to the ground.
"Since you are a second-class knight, you actually want to hurt me." Beta felt a little funny: "Has Alice not explained to you the rules of the Knights of the Round Table?"
"Are you the Red Lord?" The guard's helmet fell off, revealing a pretty young handsome face.
He looks a bit similar to Greenton, but his temperament is far from the same as Greenton. He does not have the calmness and powerlessness of his own without anger.
"Alice said you have some talent, but I don't think so." Beta said lightly: "Even if I'm not a Red Priest, I came out of Greenton's study just now and talked to your great-great aunt equally. Such an obvious signal means that I have a good identity in Alice and Greenton's eyes, but you have murderous intentions because I patted Alice on the shoulder... and lost judgment because of jealousy?"
The young man's expression became ugly.
That's right, Beta saw jealousy and possessiveness in the other party's eyes. He seemed to have a special idea for his blood relative. This is normal. Alice is very beautiful, and some people just have great interest in blood relatives.
However, in terms of blood, he and Alice have already made three matches, and even if they are together, it is nothing. But the problem is that Greenton will not allow such a thing to happen. After all, in Greenton's view, both his daughter and this kid are his direct descendants.
Alice looked at the young man quietly for a while, and then said, "Vincent, you go to the border and serve. I will hand over a team of 100-man cavalry to manage you, and you will come back in five years." (To be continued.)
