Red Castle, guest hall.
The Earl Of Avon observed the decorations in the hall as he smiled and said, "It's fine.
I know that Count Angele isn't at the Northern Frontier. Miss Shalia and I didn't come here to visit Count Angele. I'm sure you've heard some news. We've been looking for Prince Rhy. "
Eamon had a polite smile on his face as he said, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency Earl Of Avon, Miss Shalia. As far as I know, Prince Rhy hasn't appeared in Icestone City."
The Earl Of Avon seemed a little disappointed as he said regretfully, "Alright, thank you very much for the information. I wonder if we can stay in the Red Castle for a while and rest up. "
"Of course. You and Miss Shalia are both honored guests of the Angele family and should be treated with the warmest hospitality. Also, if there's news of Prince Rhy, I'll definitely inform the two of you. "
"Thank you very much!"
The Earl Of Avon and Shalia stood up to thank him, then they were led to the guest room by the maid.
After a simple tidying up, the Earl Of Avon left the room. When he knocked on Shalia's door, he was told by the maid that she was bathing.
Thus, the Earl Of Avon wandered around the castle alone.
This Red Castle was inherited from the Su Duo family. At the beginning, because the Angele family was financially strapped, Colin only painted the castle's outer walls with a layer of red paint and didn't touch the things inside.
However, as Colin's power and status rose rapidly, this castle that was originally built for Viscounts seemed a little cramped and didn't match up to Colin's status.
Thus, recently, with Colin's approval, Eamon began to upgrade the castle in all aspects.
Along the way, the Earl Of Avon could see a large number of troll slaves working hard.
What surprised him was that these troll slaves were very motivated. Even if the supervisors around them didn't wave their whips to urge them, they didn't slack off at all.
This was very different from the image of slaves in the Earl Of Avon's mind.
Curious, the Earl Of Avon went forward to talk to the supervisors.
The supervisors didn't know the identity of the Earl Of Avon, but they still recognized the Earl Of Avon's formal attire because it was the same style of formal attire in the empire. Their own Lord, Count Angele, wore this formal attire.
Therefore, the supervisors didn't dare to hide anything from Count Elven's inquiry.
"Work points?" Count Elven nodded inwardly as he savored the new system created by Colin.
He realized that this was indeed an excellent method to motivate the slaves.
"Then if a troll slave obtains enough work points and regains his commoner status, can he immediately leave Icestone City and return to the Troll Empire?"
"Yes, Lord Count. Not only that, the merciful Lord also promised that if the troll slaves don't want to travel thousands of miles back to the Troll Empire, they can still stay in Icestone City."
The Earl Of Avon immediately furrowed his brows. He suddenly realized that after entering Icestone City, he had indeed noticed that there were a lot of trolls in the city.
At the time, he didn't pay much attention to it. He thought that most of these trolls were probably merchants who came to the Northern Frontier, but he didn't expect that many of them were troll slaves who had their identities restored.
"If they stay in Icestone City, won't these trolls be afraid of being bullied by humans?"
"Of course not. Lord Of Avon His Highness specially issued a decree stating that trolls and humans have the same rights and duties in Angele's territory. They can't be discriminated against or bullied by anyone."
"You don't have any objections to this?"
"Of course not," the supervisor said without hesitation. "This is Lord Of Avon's order! Moreover, these troll slaves have already atoned for their sins through hard work. I don't think there's a need to continue punishing them.
Of course, if they don't behave here, then the city guards won't be polite to them. "
The Earl Of Avon sized up the troll slaves who were sweating profusely and asked, "Then approximately how many troll slaves have already settled down in Icestone City through this method?"
"There are probably over a hundred of them."
"That many?" The Earl Of Avon was a bit surprised. "Those trolls who have their freedom restored are all willing to stay?"
"In the beginning, there weren't many trolls who were willing to stay, but after they discovered that the citizens of Icestone City didn't bully the trolls who stayed, more and more trolls were willing to stay.
After all, compared to the harsh conditions of the Sky Ice Plains, the climate here is comfortable and life is rich. As long as the trolls aren't stupid, they know what to choose.
Also, I know that after some of the trolls on the Ice Plains learned about this, they came to Icestone City in droves, attempting to become Lord Count Angele's subjects.
However, as for these trolls who were smuggled in, the Lord Count captured them and put them into the slave army. He also promised that if they could earn enough work points through their hard work, then he would allow them to settle down in Icestone City.
Hehe, not only did this not frighten the trolls who were smuggled in, but it also attracted even more trolls to Icestone City. This caused the troll slave army in the city to grow larger and larger.
Perhaps in the near future, we will see even more trolls settling down in the city. "
Hearing the supervisor's explanation, the Earl Of Avon was even more surprised.
He suddenly realized that Colin was pushing for the trolls to integrate into Icestone City.
The benefits of this were obvious. Icestone City would be able to obtain a large amount of free labor in a short period of time, greatly promoting the development of Angele's territory.
However, the downside was … The differences and conflicts between races couldn't be eliminated with a simple Lord's Order. Right now, there weren't many trolls in the city, so the conflicts hadn't become obvious.
However, as more and more trolls regained their freedom and settled down in the city, would they really be able to live in peace with humans?
If war broke out between the Northern Frontier and the Troll Empire in the future, what would happen to the trolls in Icestone City?
To be honest, the Earl Of Avon felt that Colin's actions were a bit too rash. If a large number of trolls appeared in Icestone City, perhaps even the royal family and the church would have objections.
However, the Earl Of Avon didn't dare to come to a conclusion. This was because Colin had already made too many decisions that seemed unreasonable but were actually quite successful.
Regarding the trolls, the Earl Of Avon really wanted to know what Colin's complete plan was.
While he was deep in thought, the Earl Of Avon suddenly felt the surroundings suddenly become quiet.
He raised his head in confusion and saw that the supervisors were all looking behind him.
Turning around, the Earl Of Avon saw his fiancée standing there.
Shaliya had changed into a long gown with golden embroidery. She wore a pair of exquisitely crafted bright gold high heels. Her waist swayed gently, and her steps were light and graceful. The girdle of the gown outlined the beautiful curves of a young girl. Her pure green eyes were deep and ethereal.
It was no wonder that the supervisors were dumbfounded by the appearance of such a beautiful and elegant noble girl.
Seeing the Earl Of Avon turn around, Shaliah smiled sweetly and said, "Evan, what are you doing here?"
"Nothing, just strolling around."
"Then let's go to the dining hall. Steward Eamon just sent someone to inform me that the banquet is ready."
"Alright."
