Governor 4

(This chapter will not be divided today)

Earl Griffin didn't even look at Roy standing by the square table; his gaze was fixed on the Rebel Army Chieftain, Addison Xize.

The negotiators from the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom were also keeping an eye on this Rebel Army Chieftain, who had proposed to them two days earlier that the future Rampart Town to be built here would require a non- Silver Moon Elf Kingdom Silver Moon Elf governor.

He hoped the negotiators from the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom would make concessions, and Anderson Cizer would compensate in other ways.

In this way, the Rampart Town will gradually become a real Half-Elf town, just like Pattington Town.

But he never expected that this seemingly rigid and harsh Earl Griffin would choose to recommend a young Half-Elf.

Anderson Cizer squinted at Roy's youthful face, his expression shifting between light and dark. The other Rebel Army officials also looked grim.

Last night they were discussing how to persuade the negotiators from the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom to obtain the governor of Rampart Town.

"Roy is capable of serving as consul, but you cannot make a final decision yet. You will only know after he takes office. If you have no other objections, can this resolution be passed?" Viscountess Yuffilia seized the opportunity to ask.

Anderson Cizer turned his gaze to the Rebel Army beside him and asked in a low voice, "What do you think?"

One of the Rebel Army leaders frowned and said, "Since the governor of Rampart Town is Half-Elf, I hope that all other positions in the Town Hall will be filled by Half-Elf..."

Viscountess Yuffilia quickly said, "How could that be? It was clearly you who proposed that the town's governor be a non- Silver Moon Elf. Therefore, the town's officials should be Half-Elf and Half-Elf. Of course, you only have the right to recommend, but the right to appoint... should belong to the new governor Roy."

"No Silver Moon Elf would be willing to take a position in such a remote dimensional town as Rampart Town..."

The two sides resumed negotiations, and the choice of the governor was thus finalized.

Rebel Army Chieftain Anderson Cizer sat in the center of the long table, his fists clenched on the surface.

He suddenly realized that if this clause were passed, the peace talks would end, and the implementation phase would begin.

Feeling somewhat disheartened, he closed his eyes...

After his negotiations concluded, he would face trial at the Silver Moon Elf Elder Council Tribunal's court. It was safe to say that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he might never be able to leave the Parrham Island Prison for the rest of his life.

His leadership of the Half-Elf Rebel Army in resisting the tyranny of the Silvermoon Elven Nobles lords may be recorded in the annals of Modern Elf History.

But for Anderson Cizer, the latter half of his life may become extremely dark.

He opened his eyes again and looked at Earl Griffin, saying, "I hope that the Silver Moon Elf can provide material support for the reconstruction project of Rampart Town."

"Of course, the aid supplies include food, building materials, and construction tools, etc. These supplies will be delivered by the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion to the new governor for unified allocation," Earl Griffin readily agreed.

Anderson Cizer stood up from his chair, and the other Rebel Army leaders followed suit...

Earl Griffin had the clerk at the conference table bring up the draft of the "《Bulwark Village Peace Agreement》," the ink on the last page of the treaty still wet.

As Anderson Cizer signed the peace treaty, other Rebel Army Chieftain followed suit.

Earl Griffin looked at the peace treaty with a hint of pride in his eyes. He recalled His Your Majesty Janis's worries before his departure. Now that the problem of the Half-Elf had been resolved smoothly, the heavy burden on his shoulders suddenly eased.

A faint smile finally appeared on that face, which was full of wrinkles and a serious expression.

After signing the peace agreement, Rebel Army Chieftain Anderson Cizer was formally arrested by two Elf Warrior and staggered away from the Command Post under the silent gaze of a group of the Rebel Army leaders.

Other Rebel Army leaders also returned to their residences to pack their belongings. Although they had not yet been purged by the Silver Moon Elf, they were unwilling to stay in Bulwark Village. Most of these Rebel Army leaders were elven hunters who roamed the jungle, and now that the Rebel Army had disbanded, they would return to their old ways.

The peace treaty was immediately announced in Bulwark Village. Although the Silver Moon Elf guaranteed that they would not purge the Half-Elf in the Rebel Army, large numbers of Half-Elf elves still left Bulwark Village in droves.

Many of the Half-Elf who originally planned to stay in Bulwark Village were thrown into a state of panic by the departure of these Half-Elf Bulwark Village...

Some of the Half-Elf living in the Padesto City began planning how to return to Padesto City.

The Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion quickly posted notices on the bulletin board at the entrance of the Bulwark Village, clearly stating that the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion had established thirteen Aid Station on public lands to provide food supplies for the Half-Elf returning to Padesto City. If they encountered monster attacks, they could also seek help from the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion at the Aid Station.

Many Half-Elf became somewhat lost, unsure of how to proceed with their future.

Some of the Rebel Army left Bulwark Village and will return to the jungle to continue their hunter's life. This time, the Silver Moon Elf established all the land south of Padesto and north of the Griffon Bulwark Mountain Range as the common territory of the Half-Elf Half-Elf, who can freely hunt and gather in this land.

Another part of the Rebel Army will remain in Bulwark Village, near the Bulwark Mountain Range, a jungle rich in magical beasts and Magic Herbs. However, since the Rebel Army have been stationed in Bulwark Village for nearly half a year, the nearby fruit trees and berries have been almost completely harvested. If the Half-Elf want to get something to eat, they will have to go to a more distant part of the jungle to gather them. Of course, there are some advantages as well. All the magical beasts that pose a threat to the elves in this area have long since migrated to other places.

Another part of the Rebel Army will return to Padesto City. These Half-Elf all have treehouses in Padesto City. They have become accustomed to city life, and their time in Bulwark Village has made them miss Padesto terribly.

The Rebel Army disbanded on the spot in Bulwark Village, Elf Warrior of the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion quickly took over the Bulwark Village.

Roy walked out of the somewhat filthy Command Post, still unable to accept that he had become the governor of Rampart Town.

It seems that from the beginning until now, no one has ever asked Roy whether he wants to be the governor of the Bulwark Village.

Roy recalled that Earl Griffin had summoned him yesterday afternoon, but they had only chatted about everyday matters and even asked about his life in Castleton City, but there was no mention of him being appointed as the governor of the Bulwark Village.

He was studying at the Elf Academy and learning divine magic at the Goddess of Freedom Temple. How could he possibly have time to be the governor of Bulwark Village? The instructors had only just heard the news and were all asking Roy why he had suddenly decided to become the governor of Bulwark Village. Roy explained with a wry smile that he had only just found out about it himself and it felt like a farce.

"Roy, Earl Griffin wishes to see you. Come with me," the three elven guards said to Roy as they approached him again.

"Let's go too..." Instructor Nora said from the side.

After saying that, the instructors followed Roy to Earl Griffin's carriage. Instructor Nora wanted to follow Roy into the carriage, but was stopped by the elven guards with their arms.

"Let them all in," came Earl Griffin's voice from inside the carriage.

The instructors and Roy entered the carriage, Earl Griffin pointed to the sofas around them, inviting Roy and the instructors to sit down.

"Are you a little surprised by this decision, and do you feel that we made this decision without consulting you, and don't quite understand why?" Earl Griffin leaned back on the sofa, a faint smile on his aged face, making him appear very kind and approachable.

"I do have some doubts, since I wasn't notified about this beforehand," Roy replied tactfully.

"Haha, actually, before we negotiated this morning, we couldn't be sure what the Rebel Army' reaction would be, and we couldn't give you any promises," Earl Griffin said frankly.

"I never expected that they would agree to our proposal and agree to let you serve as the first governor of Rampart Town."

"We didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Of course, we didn't think we needed to communicate with you beforehand because you're still studying at the Elf Academy in Castleton. In fact, you're just a figurehead as the governor of Rampart Town. Of course, we don't rule out the possibility that you will become the governor of Rampart Town in the future, but during the construction of Rampart Town, we don't need you to do anything here. The Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion will send dedicated management personnel to manage Bulwark Village as your assistant."

"The follow-up matters will be handled by the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion..."

Earl Griffin said frankly.

Hearing Earl Griffin say this, Roy and the instructors breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out he was just using their names.

Upon hearing this news, Roy felt a slight sense of disappointment.

The thought that he was only one step away from becoming the town mayor...

"Alright, tell me, what situation do you instructors want to report to me by following Roy here?" Earl Griffin asked with a smile, his gaze falling on Nora and the other instructors.

Instructor Nora quickly stood up and said sincerely, "After hearing what you said, we understand what happened. The reason we came to you is very simple. After all, I brought Roy to the Pattington Plane, and I am responsible for him."

Earl Griffin looked at Instructor Nora and nodded.

"Earl Griffin, now that the peace talks have concluded successfully, our purpose in coming here was to find the slave traders among the Rebel Army. Now that we have successfully completed our mission, we will leave Bulwark Village and return to Castleton City," Instructor Nora said again.

"Of course, your Adventure Group has always been free," Earl Griffin said.

"Well then, Earl Griffin, if you have nothing else to say, we'll take our leave."

After saying that, Instructor Nora led the Adventure Group away from Earl Griffin's carriage.

Instructor Nora then bid farewell to Captain Terrence, as Instructor Nora had no intention of waiting any longer in Bulwark Village.

Seeing that the peace talks had ended smoothly, and having no reason to continue to restrict the Elf Academy Adventure Group, Captain Terrence nodded and agreed to let the Adventure Group leave.

Furthermore, Captain Terrence will continue to lend the Adventure Group several horses provided by the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion. Instructor Nora only needs to return the horses to the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion's logistics department after arriving in Padesto City.

As evening fell, Instructor Nora led a group of Adventure Group away from the Negotiation Team's camp on horseback.

The horse Roy was riding had a large box tied to it, making it look very clumsy.

Roy was riding the horse that Woods originally owned.

As for Woods, he did not leave Bulwark Village with the Adventure Group this time because his uncle lived in Bulwark Village.

After the peace talks ended, Woods found his uncle, and the two discussed it and decided to stay in Bulwark Village for a while. They would also participate in the reconstruction of Bulwark Village. The Great Druid, who had been hiding his identity, decided to provide some help to the Half-Elf of Bulwark Village.

Woods saw everyone off for quite a distance before reluctantly returning to Bulwark Village.

The return to Padesto City went very smoothly.

Along the way, you can see groups of Half-Elf returning to Padesto City; all you need to do is follow the groups northward.

Furthermore, the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion was concerned that these Half-Elf might not have enough food, so they set up several supply depots along the way, where fruit was provided free of charge.

Because of the large number of elves appearing, the magical beasts living in the jungle were too frightened to show their faces, so there was no danger along the way.

The Adventure Group successfully arrived at Padesto, which was almost a ghost town. When they delivered the horses to Adventure Group logistics department, the officials there told them that Earl Swynborne was currently in Padesto City and had specifically instructed them to inform him of their Padesto City.

Therefore, Instructor Nora did not return to Pattington Island immediately after obtaining the Teleportation Pass, but decided to stay at the Padesto hotel for one night.

Sure enough, that afternoon, Earl Swynborne's personal guards found the inn and invited the Adventure Group to the Command Post of the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion, where Earl Swynborne would receive them.

"You did a great job. You deserve a lot of credit for the successful peace talks with the Rebel Army this time."

Earl Swynborne sat in a chair, signing reports one after another, and spoke to the members of the Adventure Group without looking up.

An adjutant carefully carried away a thick stack of reports, as if afraid the tall stack would fall apart...

Everyone sat quietly in the study, no one spoke, even Miss Christine sat obediently in her chair, and they only occasionally exchanged glances.

After a while, the Earl Swynborne finally finished signing the documents.

He raised his head, stretched his stiff neck and arms, then stood up and led everyone out of the study.

This is a treehouse building that resembles a castle, with many rooms.

Earl Swynborne led everyone through a long, suspended passage to a treehouse on the other side.

There were two guards standing watch at the entrance to the treehouse room.

Upon seeing Earl Swynborne, the guards immediately bowed to the Earl. Earl Swynborne then instructed them to open the door and led everyone into the room.

The room was filled with more than a dozen rows of shelves, each with five shelves, all filled with suitcases of various sizes, looking like high walls.

Moreover, the shelves were covered with all sorts of labels, suggesting it was a Material Warehouse.

Moreover, judging from the style of the suitcase, it should contain some high-end goods.

Sure enough, at that moment, Earl Swynborne turned to everyone and said:

"These are some magical items from my collection on the shelf. You can all choose one you like and take it with you."

The instructors all looked at the labels on the shelves around them; no one would be polite to Earl Swynborne for such a reward.

Roy planned to follow behind Instructor Eleanor Instructor Eleanor, believing she would surely find the best things...

However, Earl Swynborne did not give Roy this chance; he stood at the warehouse door and shouted:

"Roy and Sabrina, come with me for a moment."

Roy and Sabrina stopped immediately, but the instructors ignored them and went to find gifts that suited them.

Only Miss Christine gave them a look that urged them to hurry up and follow.

Roy and Sabrina were led by Earl Swynborne to a room next to the warehouse. The room was not large and was probably a lounge.

There was a leather suitcase on the ground. Roy knew without even opening it that it contained a set of Magic Inscription Construct.

His box containing the Magic Inscription Construct was similar to the box on the floor...

Earl Swynborne stood at the door and said to the two, "Last time on Pattington Island, it was you two who saved Christine. I didn't express my gratitude to you because I hadn't thought of any suitable gift. Now that Sabrina has successfully advanced to become Sword Dancer, this gift is specially prepared for Sabrina."

After he finished speaking, he opened the box, and inside was indeed a set of exquisite light brown leather armor.

The two were familiar with this set of Magic Inscription Construct; many wealthy Silver Moon Elf from the Elf Academy wore this kind of Spike-tailed Crystal Lion Leather Armor.

Besides the Magic Inscription Construct, Earl Swynborne took two scabbarded Heavy Sword from the weapon rack and handed them to Sabrina, then said, "A set of Spike-tailed Crystal Lion Leather Armor, two Serugi Longsword, and also an Apple Orchard ten kilometers north of Padesto City. Here's the deed to the Apple Orchard. Don't refuse yet..."

He took a land deed from the desk beside him and handed it to Sabrina, then turned to Roy: "Roy, as for your gift, this is it..."

The Earl Swynborne produced another contract, but this was not a land deed.

Roy took the contract and looked at it carefully before realizing that it was actually a letter of appointment for the governor of Rampart Town, and Roy's name was already written on it.

Earl Swynborne chuckled and said, "Whenever, whether now, ten or twenty years from now, as long as you arrive at Rampart Town with this letter of appointment, you will be the governor of Rampart Town. The area surrounding Rampart Town is public land, and you will not receive a salary as governor. You will only receive 30% of the town's tax revenue. In other words, when the town's tax revenue is in deficit, you may have to pay out of your own pocket... Roy, as for your desire to develop an Apple Orchard, you will have to figure it out yourself. As long as you can clear the monsters from the Blackwater Swamp, the land there is very fertile."

Roy was dumbfounded; he hadn't expected the Earl Swynborne's gift to be this.

"Alright, pack your things. Let's go see what the instructors have chosen..."

After saying this, Earl Swynborne turned and left the room.
