Chapter 120: The circumstances outside

That's what politics is like. You think he's a bad guy, but he's not. You think hes a good guy, but in fact, he is not.

How can the word good or bad explain the affairs of a kingdom and religion?

Everyone has a position and tries their hardest to be themselves.

Little Yi has been thinking desperately in the past few days, and the idea that she has managed to piece together is once again smashed to pieces.

"All right, back to my question." Robb changed topics and smiled at Pobo, "I asked you about the circumstances outside. But other people took the lead. I don't know where the conversation went, so let's get back to the point. What's going on out there?"

Pobo said with a wry smile, "all right, let me talk about what's going on outside."

He talked about it

It turns out that more than a month has passed since the princess suddenly took all the villages and towns on the western border. At present, with the exception of Westwind Town, the whole west of Bright Road has fallen into the hands of the princess.

Bright Road is the largest city in the west and the center of commerce in the western part of the Kingdom of Gran! The princess amassed a large number of troops on Bright Road. The border towns behind became hinterland towns," protected by Bright Road and Lost City, and were basically unlikely to be threatened by war. (TL: Mhm, honestly, my English vocabulary is not wide enough to translate, but according to google, it means hinterland towns or regions lying beyond major metropolitan or cultural centers)

If Mondra wants to recapture the lost towns and villages, he must first break through Bright Road.

Because of this, the princess only needed to send a few necromancers or necromancer apprentices to complete the suppression and rule of the towns and villages with a minimal number of skeletons.

Moreover, she calls herself the rightful heir to the Kingdom of Gran so she doesn't kill people indiscriminately. She regarded the townsmen as her people, which she actually cherishes quite well. She even implemented some measures to benefit the people in the places she's occupied, such as tax exemption and so on.

Tax exemption is the real deal!

Robb finally took off his blindfold, turned to the two young nuns, and said with a smile, "You two little sisters, can you do me a favor?"

At the same time, the two nuns flinched and went behind Little Yi and hid. They almost lost their innocence after being affected by Robbs "Charming Song". It was quite traumatic, and theyre afraid of him now, for fear that he will play another strange trick and make them unconscious, only to find that when they wake up, theyre in his quilt. It will be over by then.

The two hid behind Little Yi and whispered, "Wont help! Wont help!"

Robb said with a smile, "it's no use to hide behind her. Im going to do it, and so will she."

Three nuns:

Robb said with a smile, "Don't be afraid. I'm not a bad person. I believe in the truth that if you use force to break a melon off the vine, it won't taste sweet. I was just raising a chestnut just now. Im serious about asking for a favor.

"Really?" The two little nuns poked their heads fearfully.

Robb said, "the merchants came over this time and sold me a lot of salt. I can't enjoy these things alone. I should resell them to the people of Westwind town. I hope you can help me sell the salt to the townspeople."

The two nuns said strangely, "Why us?"

Robb said, "because the world is full of illiterates, only the priests and nuns in the church know some stuff. The others can't even read or count. If I find some old men to help me sell salt, how can I get a clear account of the sales in the end?"

Two little nuns, "Thats true."

Robb said with a smile, "the priests have the strength to wear heavy armor, carry bricks, and build roads, but you nuns have nothing to do, right? Therefore, it is time for you to get adequate food and clothing through labor, each carrying a large bag of salt and selling it to the townspeople at a normal market price. 20% of the money received will be counted as your reward."

The two nuns shook their heads almost simultaneously and said firmly, "We will defend our poverty-stricken lives to the death. Well take no rewards, and all the money from selling salt will be returned to the chapel.
