There are a lot of military affairs to be dealt with in the barracks outside the city, which makes Char very speechless, and those guys under his command have joined the "wedding preparation committee" one by one, Char really doubts that those guys are deliberately using this excuse to be passive and lazy.
In the barracks, he had checked the atlas of the recently counted land, and the roster of the land that had been distributed to him, and then signed a few of the documents of the land count sent by the magistrate of Siltan County.
The work of these cases made Char very helpless.
He's not good at it at all, and he doesn't like it.
After looking at it for a long time, Char suddenly patted his head.
I'm not good at this, but there are people around me who are good at it.
Soon, he summoned his chief guard and sent someone to ask for Sophie.
Sophie also arrived in Denzel City with the brigade, and temporarily settled in the city to live, and the place where she lived was very close to Queen Davfane's base, I heard that after she arrived in Denzel City, she had already visited the queen in private, after all, she was a disciple of Cavihill, and she probably knew Daphany before.
Sophie was soon invited by the chief of the guard, and when she arrived at the barracks, the young girl had her sleeves rolled up, a little sweat on her forehead, and some white powder on her face and hair, as if it were flour.
"Something, Shogun."
Sophie's expression was flat: "I'm cooking dinner at home. ” "Dinner" Char was a little confused.
"Yes, I'm getting ready to bake my own bread."
Sophie said lightly.
Char immediately realized that she seemed to have missed something: after Sophie followed her to Denzel City, she had not had much time to settle this girl, she lived alone, and even the servants around her were very scarce, so she thought that she would cook by herself every day "Starting today, send two maids from my house to take care of Sophie, and send a small team of guards to protect Sophie's safety, just follow her instructions.
From now on, she is my chief of staff. ” Char reiterated the title of "Chief of Staff", but in fact even he blushed a little.
Because this so-called chief of staff is simply a bare-bones commander.
Sophie was noncommittal about Char's arrangement, but Char looked a little embarrassed: "From today onwards, your daily life and diet will be taken care of, as my chief of staff, you have the right to look through these sent documents and help me deal with them, I give you the power to decide."
You just need to report back to me every day.
And besides your remuneration?"
Char thought for a moment, "Do you have any requirements?"
"I'm a lonely girl, it's useless to ask for so much money."
Sophie's tone was very flat: "It's okay to have food and clothing, but I have some requirements, I don't like to live in the barracks, I live in the city, you give me a carriage, it must be big enough, every day to transport me from the city to and from the barracks outside the city, I also need a warrant from you, I can go in and out of the city at will, day and night."
And Char, I need a commitment from you. ” "Promise" Char looked at the girl in front of her suspiciously.
Sophie sighed: "Since ancient times, you must promise me that no matter what I have to say to you in the future, even if it will make you angry and make you hate me, you will never kill me because of my words."
Char smiled, he thought this kind of request was ridiculous: "Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
"Not now, it's hard to say what the future holds."
Sophie's tone was serious: "Anyone, sitting in a high position for a long time, will change their mentality."
Since ancient times, emperors have killed many loyal ministers, and they are not necessarily mediocre emperors, and wise emperors will also kill people because of dissatisfaction. ” Char couldn't help but protest: "Hey, I'm not the emperor" Sophie had already retired, walked to the door, and smiled softly: "We'll see." ” Directly appointed the chief of staff, Char threw these case documents to this young girl, he didn't feel irresponsible at all, anyway, using land instead of a reward was also from Sophie's idea, and it was best for her to carry it out.
After getting rid of one of these biggest burdens, our general shamelessly had a bad idea.
"It's been a long time since I've visited our dear dwarven brothers, and I'll have to pay them a visit."
Char called "dear dwarven brothers" who had been living outside of Denzel for several months.
The four hundred dwarves who came to send congratulatory gifts last time were all arranged to live in a separate military camp outside the city, and the gifts sent by these dwarves have not been officially taken over by Char until now, and the dwarves are very stubborn, and they have always had to see Merlin in person.
The leader of the four hundred dwarves, the guy named Rock, has inherited the glorious tradition of dwarven stubbornness.
In his words, "Our dwarven King Greybeard has ordered me to celebrate the General's wedding, so we cannot go back until the General's marriage is completed." ” Therefore, the four hundred dwarves lived here with peace of mind.
I have to say that although the relationship between dwarves and humans is not harmonious, dwarves are very fond of human food.
Compared with dwarves, human food is more elaborate and tasty, and soft bread and meat with various sauces cannot be made by dwarves.
It's really a wonderful thing.
Dwarves are skilled in metal smelting, they can craft the finest weapons and equipment, and they can tell the difference between sweet ketchup and honey sauce at a glance.
Although Char has also experienced wars here, the food is not abundant, and even a little rudimentary, but for the dwarves, it is already a first-class delicacy.
Besides, staying here as a guest here, there is no need to work every day, and there are people who bring exquisite food to enjoy, and the four hundred dwarves are not in a hurry to go home at all.
There are even some dwarves who wish that the general had better never get married, so it will be better to drag it out for ten or eight years Dwarves live much longer than humans anyway.
An ordinary dwarf can live for more than two hundred years.
They have time to splurge.
When Char arrived at the dwarven quarters, the dwarves had just eaten.
These dwarves eat five meals a day: breakfast, lunch, lunch, dinner, and dinner.

Presumably to replenish the consumption of their sturdy and majestic bodies.
Char's arrival was welcomed by the dwarves.
At least the guy named Rock, after a few months of eating and drinking Char for nothing, finally gave Char some good looks.
"Honorable General, welcome, we are just having dinner, do you want to join us?"
The rock seemed very enthusiastic, but Char secretly pouted: Damn, it's all Lao Tzu's food, used to invite Lao Tzu to eat, this favor is really cheap However, he also squeezed out a warm smile on his face: "No, no, no, I have already eaten, please enjoy me, I just stopped by to see my dwarf brothers, because of the delay of my wedding, you have delayed too much time here, which really makes me a little embarrassed as a master." ” The rock had already wiped his mouth and laughed loudly: "You're welcome, honorable general, you are the most hospitable host, and we have had a great time here." ” Lao Tzu is not happy at all, the meal of four hundred dwarves is worth two thousand, "I came today because I have something to discuss with you."
Char laughed silently.
Rock didn't know where to bring a cup of hot water to Char, and then sat down opposite Char, took out a cow bone comb from his arms, and carefully combed his long beard.
He combed very carefully and carefully.
This is also something that Char finds strange: these dwarves can go ten days without bathing, but they spend at least an hour grooming their beards every day.
Dwarves cherish their beards in a way that no other race can imagine.
The best way to provoke a dwarf is to show contempt for his beard, and the other person will be furious Rock's beard, which could be dragged to his toes when standing, was long and combed into two beautiful knots, and there were some dense pigtails next to it.
This guy patiently combed through the numbers one by one, listening to Char's words, this seemingly honest dwarf showed a cunning look that did not match his appearance.
"Your Excellency, you are a hospitable host, and the dwarves are willing to be your friends.
But I must make it clear that when we came, the great King Greybeard gave us the task of giving gifts.
If you're trying to craft weapons for your army, we're sorry, but we can't contribute our craft to any other race until we have orders from the Graybeard King. ” Damn it.
Char scolded in his heart.
If you don't build me weapons, what am I doing raising you guys with big bellies Dwarves can't craft weapons, what's the value didn't expect to block the other party with one sentence, Char was a little unwilling: "But, anyway, you are idle here, I just need to build a little weapon to arm my guards" "All I can say is I'm sorry."
The rock shook his head: "We can't make weapons for your army.
But we dwarves have other skills, we are good at digging holes, and if you want to do something, we are willing to contribute some strength to you. ” Digging Char Khan paused for a moment and thought: What does Lao Tzu want you to dig in the soil to dig a big pit and bury you all?
Char was a little disappointed, and her expression couldn't help but look ugly.
After all, the rock was still a honest and faithful dwarf, he hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Although the Graybeard King has an order that we are not allowed to make weapons for the human army, you are our friend, although we cannot make weapons for your army.
But as friends, dwarves make a thing or two for their friends in private, which is still in line with our tradition. ” "Oh" Char's eyes lit up, but then they dimmed: "Can you only build it for me alone?"
"Yes, dwarves can only build things for their true friends."
The rocks say it is categorical.
Char stood up, took two steps back and forth, and suddenly patted his thigh and smiled, "Okay."
Then it's decided, I'll ask you to help me build some equipment for my personal use, it's not too much to ask."
"Of course, we can do it at any time."
Xia Ya laughed, and then said loudly: "Okay, I need ten sets of cavalry heavy armor, ten sets of samurai infantry heavy armor, and ten sets of light armor."
"Wait for ten sets" Rock hurriedly stopped Char: "You can't misunderstand what I mean, what I said can only be given to you personally" "It's for me."
Char Zhengse, righteous words Yan shouted: "You may not know, I am already a noble duke of the Byzantine Empire, do you understand, in the ranks of the nobles of the empire, in addition to the emperor, in addition to the prince, the duke is the largest and most noble nobleman with my status, a duke's equipment, must have many sets, as a noble nobleman with a family education, identity, self-cultivation, and tradition, our equipment must be changed to wear, we wear a set on the first day of every month, and a set on the second day, No. 3 is for worshipping the gods, and it must be changed to a white one, No. 4 is for us to worship our ancestors, No. 5 is for me to meet my subordinates and retainers, and No. 6 is for worshipping the gods."
"Wait, wait, you just said you've already worshiped the gods once."
The rocks protested loudly.
"I profess two religions at the same time, we are a civilized nation, and our laws give us the right to enjoy religious freedom" The rock felt that his poor brain was not enough.
As a traditional dwarf, he didn't know much about humans, and he hadn't dealt with any humans before, let alone traveled in the human world.
The dwarf groaned: "God, you believe in two religions and two different gods at the same time, then how can you humans have such a law, but what if your two religions have a conflict with each other?"
Char smiled weirdly: "Don't you know that we humans have a disagreement about something called a council, and everyone can have a good quarrel in the council and persuade each other to debate." ” "Incredible, incredible," the rock shouted.
"Well, where did you just talk about it, in addition to armor, I need ten sets of riding spears, ten sets of sabers, ten sets of two-handed broadswords, ten sets of edge hammers, ten sets of riding shields, and ten sets of infantry shields."
Seeing that the rock was still protesting, Char had already said loudly with a straight face: "I am a noble nobleman, in the empire, only the emperor and prince are bigger than me, with such a noble status as me, do you think that I want to use only one weapon like a beggar, our aristocratic habit is to throw away anything directly after only a few times" "Well, that's a waste," the rock's eyes widened.
"This is the tradition of our aristocracy, please respect the tradition of our nobility," Char said categorically.
"Is it really something that can be thrown away after a few uses, it's too wasteful, it's too wasteful."
Char shook his head: "The life of a nobleman is like this, what is thrown away, it is thrown away anyway." ” The rock suddenly rolled his eyes and looked at Char twice: "Then I have seen you twice, the last time you wore this robe on your body, it is exactly the same, do you have to throw it away?"
"Of course," Char nodded with a forced smile.
"If you throw it away, why don't you give it to me, this garment feels like a precious silk of human beings."
Rock couldn't help but rub his dirty hand twice on the corner of Char's clothes.
"Here you go," Char stubbornly took off the precious silk robe and threw it to the rock.

Rock eyebrows smiled, and looked at the belt around Char's waist again: "Oh, this belt is made of the skin of a lion beast, I see how many times you have worn it" "Here you go" Char also took it off directly.
"And that ring on your finger, it seems to be a fine crystal" Char quickly picked it off and threw it over.
"And" Seeing that this hateful dwarf was going to continue, Char hurriedly stopped him: "If you keep talking, I'm going to go out naked." ” The rock gave up, holding Char's fine silk robe, the high-grade lion skin belt, and the precious crystal ring, and smiled.
"You see, these are our traditions."
Char sighed, "Now, my dear dwarven brother, can you promise to build me some personal equipment?"
Rock's answer caused Char to vomit blood on the spot This seemingly honest man shook his head slowly and firmly with an honest smile, and said, "My lord, maybe my brain is not smart, but I am not a fool. ” by this honest man Char choked back and left in a rage. rushed back to the house in one go, and before he even had time to put on his clothes, he went straight to the backyard.
The people arranged by himself in the backyard were still staring there, and Char said loudly: "Is Merlin coming out?"
"No," replied the servant cautiously.
Char rushed directly to the door, opened his throat and yelled loudly: "Hey, your son is being bullied, you can't get out" After a while, Merlin's impatient voice came from inside: "What's wrong again" "The dwarf bullied me, and he didn't admit what he promised me" Char naturally refused to say that he was pitted by an honest dwarf.
Merlin's voice came from inside again: "How dare they bully you, dwarves" "That's it anyway, can you help?"
After a while, Merlin's words finally came from inside: "Go and tell the dwarves, if they do anything wrong with you, I will go and turn that graybeard into a frog for another year." ” Char immediately laughed.
But then yes Wait a minute Merlin was talking about "again" to turn Greybeard into a frog.
Why do you say "again"?
Could it be that she didn't have to think about these things carefully, Xia Yaxiong rushed back to the dwarf station outside the city in a high-spirited manner, and this time he didn't bother to pretend to be a hospitable and warm host, and directly brought the rock in front of him.
"Merlin said that if you don't please me, your Greybeard King will become a frog again.
The choice is yours."
The wrinkles on Rock's face immediately tangled into a ball, and after a long time, he glanced at Char deeply.
"If you hate it, go make a list" Char, who left the dwarf station, suddenly had a feeling of sudden realization.
Damn, no wonder so many people envy the second generation of officials, the second generation of gambling is rich and has a strong mother, it's really cool Hmph, don't you want a list of rocks?
"Come on, go and bring me the equipment update brochure drawn up by our army's logistics department this year."
