"Duke Duke!"

Lynn turned around, an old man in a clothes trembled and stood in the distance, looking at him in horror.

The old man was wearing a hemp dress and had a metal chain hanging around his neck. The chain was made of metal made of different materials. At a rough look, it had structures such as gold and black iron.

"Are you a bachelor here?" Lynn asked,

"Yes, Lord Duke! I am Paiswin, a bachelor of Fengxi Castle." The old bachelor replied with his hands slightly trembling,

"I'm here just in time. I'll find someone to clean up the place, and then come to the Lord's Hall to find me!"

After Lynn said that, he walked towards the tallest and largest tower.

Bachelor's degree is a profession in Westlot.

They abandoned their surnames and bloodlines, swear to be loyal to the school city, where to learn various knowledge, and each time they pass a knowledge exam, they will create a chain. When the chain is enough to form a necklace, they will represent their academic success and officially become bachelor's.

Most bachelors are sent to cities or castles after completing their studies in the school town. No matter where they are sent, they are neutral, serve their masters, and are loyal to their masters there as a tutor, doctor and consultant.

If control of this place of residence changes, the bachelor should be loyal to the new master.

So although Lynn doesn't like them, he is indeed a talent that can be used, especially since they have mastered the methods of training ravens, and most of the messaging between cities in the mainland rely on them.

When you open the heavy gate of the tower, you will see a hall with a diameter of dozens of meters. The sound of footsteps echoed clearly in the hall.

This hall is larger than the Iron Throne Hall in King's Landing. If you guess correctly, this should be the Bucks Hall!

There is almost no furnishing inside, and only the complex patterns on the windows and the fine carvings on the top of the hall can be seen with a little original magnificence.

Maybe it was originally there, but Lan Li was not a thrifty person. Why is it gone now? You can see something when you look at the equipment of those guys outside. The soldiers attacking Junlin are not as good as that.

The hall was a little dim because there were frequent storms, and the windows here were not as spacious and tall as other castles.

Going up the stone steps, there are many rooms on each floor, servants, guards, lords' meeting rooms, offices, and the top bedroom!

There are only simple furniture left in these rooms, and all valuable items have been emptied.

The more I think about it, the more angry I am,

"I knew I should have done it just now, at least those armors could still make a comeback!"

Turning around and going downstairs, turning around the other towers, the barn and the armory were all empty,

After a walk around, Paiswin found him.

"Sir Duke, it has been cleaned up, and all the armor and weapons have been received in the armory."

Lynn nodded,

"Very good bachelor's degree, let's talk while walking. You can introduce me to the situation here on the way!"

On the way, Bachelor Paiswin introduced the recent situation of Fengxi Castle for Lynn.

After Lan Li's death, the acting city lord who was loyal to Lan Li's loyalty to Lan Li's vow not to surrender. He proposed to compete with Stannis but was rejected. Soon he suddenly jumped off the city wall and committed suicide. Many people said it was done by the red-robed witch, while others said it was not, because the wall of Fengxi Castle can isolate the power of external magic. Neither of the two factions could convince each other, but it was irrelevant, because the next acting city lord quickly opened the door and surrendered.

Stannis accepted his surrender, but did not step into the Wind Breath Castle.

This is his sad place, where he fought hard, and his family almost starved to death without surrendering, but Robert distributed the place to Lanley, the child who ran around in a cloak and shouted that he was a magician, so he hated this place and Robert,

Stannis soon led his soldiers north, leaving Gilbert and four hundred soldiers to garrison.

"Where are the people in the castle?" Lin En couldn't help asking.

"After Renly died, he left a group. When Stannis came, he left another group. When Stannis was defeated, everyone knew that there would be wars here, so he left another group. Now it is almost an empty city, with only some old, young, women and children and some mercenaries who hope to make a fortune."

Lynn was speechless. This was simply starting from scratch! Apart from an empty city and a title, there was nothing to do!

But it’s good, it’s easier to paint on white paper.

"Bachelor Paiswin, counting the population and number of mercenaries in the city, I want to hire them,"

"Sir, there is no need to count. I have nothing to do these days, so I have finished counting it. Now there are no more than 1,300 elderly people and women in the city, plus only 2,000 children and less than 200 mercenaries. Some of them claim to be knights, but no one goes to verify it."

"And..." Paiswen wanted to speak but stopped.

“And what?”

Paiswin organized some language and said cautiously:

"And the wind season is coming soon. The storm from the narrow sea passed by Fengqi Point and landed in Fengxi Castle from Bohuo Bay. The storm will rage for many days. People are unable to go out these days, and the temperature dropped sharply. They can only rely on the reserved food to survive. Now, there are probably many people in the city who can't stand it."

Lynn waved his hand and said, "Take them all into the castle tomorrow and tell them, I want to hire them all. The commission is food and gold coins!"

"Thank you for your kindness!"

Mr. Paiswen's face was full of smiles, and it seemed that he had fewer wrinkles.

The next morning,

Under the leadership of the old bachelor, many elderly people, women and children flocked into the castle, and those mercenaries were huddled in front of them.

As soon as Lin En came out, these mercenaries swept around him.

Stopped seven or eight steps away from Lynn, and bowed calmly and said:

"Duke Duke!"

These people all knew that Lynn killed hundreds of defenders and regained the castle by himself yesterday. The fact that it was so exaggerated and in front of him made each of them dare not look directly at Linn when they looked at him, for fear that he would open his mouth and spew out the dragon flames!

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lynn nodded, "You are all mercenaries, choose a leader to come out and negotiate the price with Bachelor Paisin, and pay the commission in gold."

"Yes, sir!" They didn't raise their heads, and didn't even dare to ask what Lynn hired them to do.

"Do your work well. If you faithfully complete our employment, I will consider selecting a few of you to become knights!"

As soon as Lin En said this, the group of mercenaries were in an uproar, not caring about their fear of him, staring at him with excitement and even a little fanatical.

From a mercenary to a knight, from a civilian to a nobleman! This can be said to be a leap of class!

It is the dream of many civilian mercenaries when they dream, and they can't help but be excited!

The smart people among them thought more,

Lynn is now holding the title of Duke, but there is not a single person around him. It is just when people need help. If he performs well, not to mention knights, it is impossible for even a noble in fiefdom!

Thinking of this, their eyes at Lin Neng were more fanatical than their dearest lover!

Lin Neng's eyes turned to the women, children and the elderly,

Bachelor Paiswin came over and asked, "Sir, what are you going to hire these people for?"

"Repair the castle, clean it, wash it, cook it all in one go, and you can pay the commission with grain and silver deer."

These civilians knew that the new Duke was helping them, and knelt down with gratitude,

No one dared to trouble Lynn, everyone surrounded Bachelor of Paiswin,

In the afternoon, after the bachelor arranged his work, he found Lin Neng with the mercenary leader.

"Bachelor, I found a dark warehouse with a lot of food stored there, which should be enough for you to use for two or three months."

"Sir, are you going out?"

Bachelor Paiswin asked in surprise,

Lynn nodded, his eyes looking east, through the eighty-foot-thick city walls and the narrow sea with high winds and high waves,

Looking at the direction of the Eastern continent,

"I heard that there are some slave soldiers called the Unscrupulous ones for sale,"

"I need them now!"
