Lord of the North

In the barracks the next day, Fox stared at the Moon Wolf King lying in front of Jason's residence basking in the sun with shining eyes. Jason had just told him to try to communicate with it first.

And he himself took other people to investigate the nearby agricultural conditions. After all, as the master of his territory, he couldn't understand the living conditions of the residents in his territory only through the descriptions of his subordinates.

It's just that the moon wolf king doesn't seem to be too interested in him. Fox is a little distressed. This kind of creature has already opened up its intelligence and has its own arrogance. It's not easy for it to get close to him.

On the other side, Jason was riding a horse on the field path near Erbia. By the way, he also wanted to know whether the distance from Erbia to Iron Tooth Town was suitable for building a straight road. Would it be right to do so? impact on surrounding residents.

Moreover, Jason looked at the poor and even poor living conditions of the residents here. He felt that the government agency system in the territory had begun to have problems. The most obvious problem was that the execution of orders to the castle was not enough.

Although part of the reason is that the transmission of information is not convenient enough, it is more because some officials rely on the fact that the castle cannot fully understand the local situation and do nothing.

The town of Erbia has this kind of uneven distribution under the supervision of Gareth, so what about those remote villages that have established their own management agencies?

It's just that it's not necessarily because the officials are corrupt, so Jason has ordered Gareth to investigate the work of the town government of Erbia.

After annexing several territories, today's Iron Fang Territory, the military and government are under separate jurisdiction, but the military managers are all confidantes appointed by Jason himself.

So the mayor of Erbia is not Gareth, but a local named Seth who was appointed by the government of Iron Tooth Town.

Jason still has some good impressions of this young man. When he met him for the first time, he found that this Seth did not fear him like others, but only respected him.

In addition, what he said made Jason impressed him deeply. He said that what Jason was looking for was someone who was really capable of doing things, not a puppet.

He is very confident in himself, because his family is quite good and he has received a fairly good education.

At that time, Jason just smiled, and then let him take office after a few words of encouragement.

It's just that what he said was only half right, and the other half was wrong, because what Jason was looking for was a puppet with sufficient management ability.

It's a pity that it seems that what this capable young man has done has not reached the height that Jason had expected at the beginning.

If he still doesn't want to be his own puppet until now, then Jason can only change to another person to take his place. Anyway, after Iron Tooth Town has annexed the territories of several lords, Jason does not lack this kind of puppet. Management talents, and there are quite a few people staring at the position of the mayor of Erbia Town.

Although there will be no real benefits under Gareth's supervision, Jason attaches great importance to this place. After all, this is the gateway to Iron Tooth Town, and the key project of the casino is being implemented.

Because working here has the opportunity to come into Jason's sight and be more likely to be taken seriously, and he will also have the opportunity to work in Iron Tooth Town in the future.

Suddenly a thin figure rushed out from the side of the road and stood in front of Jason's horse. He was wearing a big bamboo hat, and his hands and feet were covered with fresh dirt.

It looks like it should have just come out of the farmland.

Because of his appearance, the guards around Jason immediately pulled out their weapons and quickly stepped forward to surround him.

It's just that Hassan and Gareth behind Jason looked calm and didn't feel nervous at all because of his appearance.

"Everyone back down."

Jason looked at the thin figure carefully, and then smiled. He waved his hand and ordered the soldiers in front to back down.

"Dear Your Highness Jerome, have you figured it out?"

He said with a smile that this thin figure was the only surviving vein of the Gull Empire, the prince of the Gull Empire, Jerome Gull, but he didn't seem to see the general knight.

"Can we... can we go to... other places to talk?"

Jerome carefully looked at the people around him, and then whispered, he looked a little nervous, even if he just ran out to stop Jason, he mustered a lot of courage.

After all, he didn't grow up in the palace since he was a child, he was already on the way to escape when he was still a baby.

"Of course." Jason nodded.

The little prince's life doesn't seem to be very rich recently. From his appearance, he should be helping people clean up the fields, because he and Pu Luo belong to "black households", and there is no certificate to prove their identity, and they cannot enjoy the land reclamation order issued by Tie Ya Ling. .

This is really embarrassing. Strictly speaking, Jerome's status is a little higher than Jason's. After all, the Gulaier Empire was also one of the most powerful countries on this continent decades ago.

I wonder if I will fall into this situation one day in the future? Jason thought.

To know that his situation is always like walking a tightrope.

Jerome, who was a little nervous, came to Fox's ranch, and Jason ordered Gareth to guard the door.

"sit."

Seeing Jerome sitting in front of him with some restraint, Jason tried his best to look very kind, and asked with a smile: "You came to me this time, does it mean that you have already considered it?"

"me……"

Jerome grabbed his pants, not daring to look at Jason, stuttering and unable to speak, his face flushed red with anxiety.

This made Jason couldn't help thinking, am I so scary? In desperation, he had no choice but to comfort softly: "Don't be nervous, I'm not a man-eating demon, just speak up if you have anything to say."

"I...I want to ask you to do me a favor!"

Jerome took a deep breath, looked at Jason, but immediately looked away, maybe he felt very embarrassed to ask for help for no reason.

"Say it, don't be so formal."

After hearing this sentence, Jason lost interest, leaned on the back of the chair and said softly.

"Uncle Puluo's injury is getting more and more serious, I want you to help me, help me heal Uncle Puluo's injury! Please!"

With a crying voice, Jerome stood up and bowed deeply to Jason and said loudly.

"..."

Jason's eyes flashed brightly. When he saw the general knight last time, he felt that the knight's injury was very serious. It should be caused by years of old injuries.

The cheap medicinal herbs that Jerome bought with some extra money did not help his injury much.
