Apia thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure out what tasks assassins like them needed to use knowledge to carry out. In the past, it was enough for them to assassinate the target.
Sitting in front of the stone window sill, as the leader of Catfolk, his residence is very gorgeous. It is one of the stone mansions at the foot of Rhino Horn Mountain. Those who can live here are all Frozen Earth Territory distinguished masters.
From the window, you can look up at the Lord's Castle on Rhinoceros Mountain, which has become more and more colorful recently.
Being able to learn knowledge is a good thing for the Catfolk tribe, so Apia has no objection and is not qualified to refuse.
He just went with the flow and agreed, so he was rewarded with this stone house. According to Baron Ryan's words, he hired people without suspicion. Since he accepted their allegiance, he would not doubt it.
He went to see the Catfolk of the tribe. They lived on the south side of a mountain. Many houses were built there. They were originally used for farmers, but now they have become Catfolk's houses. They were asked to look after the terraces on the mountain, plant and cultivate some herbs and so on.
Catfolk is very good at these things. Before there was the extraordinary system of Catfolk assassins, Catfolk was the doctor of many Orcs tribes. This was their only value.
Apia also feels strange. He used to be loyal to a count, but now he is loyal to Baron. There is a big gap between Noble Title, but Catfolk's treatment is many times better.
He was free all of a sudden.
He put on a hood and covered his body and head. There was a wooden sign around his waist. The wooden sign was engraved with the imprint of Rhino Horn Mountain. It was a badge and represented his identity.
Apia was walking in the town of Frozen Earth Territory. He had seen the city and the town, but it was difficult to tell whether the land he was walking on was a city or a town.
It's more than a small town, but it doesn't seem to be as comprehensive as a city, but it's much cleaner than a city.
Well, clean, this is the first feeling of Apia. With a body of only one meter high, he can see the ground under his feet more clearly than humans. Except for a little dust, there is no garbage.
For the cold Northlands, there is not much dust, so the cleanliness of the streets is very comfortable.
The streets he was walking on were not the main streets of Frozen Earth Territory. There were a lot of people there, and he naturally didn't like places with so many people, so he couldn't see the busy shops or the human children running on the streets.
On both sides of the ground under his feet were residences. Through the cracks in the doors, he could see human women weaving, mending, washing, feeding animals, and cleaning...
It is a very simple and unpretentious life, but Apia is very envious of it. He also knows that these women's men are busy outside at the moment. Frozen Earth Territory's terraced land does not seem to be very much, but Baron Ryan has created a lot of work, which requires ordinary people to sell their efforts.
He gradually came to a famous street in Frozen Earth Territory, which is said to be called Aixnier Street. There are many carpenters living here. They have exquisite skills. How advanced are they?
From Apia's point of view, these carpenters were arguing about who was telling stories to the little guy next to them, but they still kept making wooden tools in their hands. It was the shovel sent by Blacksmith Street. It was tied tightly by these carpenters in a few moments, and then the little guy next to him happily carried a broom to sweep the sawdust on the ground.
The quarrel continued. Apia saw that one of the parties to the quarrel was a street administrator. The other party was wearing standard clothes and represented the street administrative officer. There were two people standing next to him, wearing similar clothes, representing the adjudicator and security officer of the street.
Frozen Earth Territory There will be three such officials loyal to the lord in every street. Each official will have a dozen errands under his subordinates, and the security officer will have more under his subordinates.
The management of these streets assists the higher lords in managing each street, and it is said that they are also paid. In many cases, ordinary people, especially the slaves in the slums, do not dare to speak loudly to these people.
But it's different here. This is Aixnier Street. All the carpenters in the territory are gathered here. They are a big force. The best carpenters can even communicate directly with Frozen Earth Territory's consul Eteria. Those political officials have to look at their faces.
Apia was a little confused by what they were arguing about. It seemed that these managers asked the carpenters to hurry up and make some large objects and transport them to the mountains to build something.
But the carpenter retorted that the tools needed in the territory were requested by the lord himself. How could they do other things without finishing these things.
Finally, the man representing the Adjudicator made his decision.
"The things on the mountain have the highest priority. The Lord must see the results within a month, otherwise the allocation of the following carpenters' work will be reduced."
The carpenters were defeated. To build the watchtower on the mountain, the lord assigned the carpenters to work. There was no extra reward other than ensuring food, but they could make profits from ordinary carpenter work.
Especially recently, another group of people called traders arrived, saying that they would give them some copper coins if they wanted the exquisite craft crops in their hands.
This can undoubtedly increase some income, but there is no way. Although the carpenter dares to make noise with these people, he does not dare to really refuse.
After watching the fun, Apia left here like everyone else. Carpenter Street was full of the smell of sawdust, while Blacksmith Street was full of fiery and ear-tense beatings.
This is the warmest place in the entire Frozen Earth Territory. Many people like to come here, so in the end, the police had to block the street and restrict the flow of people in and out.
Compared to the constant noises at the carpenter's side, there is nothing more trivial here except the sound of hammers hammering and flames roaring.
First of all, it's because of the blacksmiths. Everyone is a blacksmith, and they are all very strong, even more powerful than those sheriffs.
Another thing is that the entire Blacksmith Street does things according to the will of Lord Ryan and Lord Chief Artisan. Whatever the political officers want to do, they must take into account the views of the lord and the attitude of the master craftsman.
The lord was too far away for them to reach, but no one could help them unless the master craftsman was rude to them.
So Blacksmith Street was having fun.
Apia walked to the largest blacksmith shop. It was very quiet here, and no one stayed there, including outside the blacksmith shop.
Because they can't afford what is available here.
"Master Brock, Lord Ryan said that you are back and asked me to ask you for a batch of goods."
Brock picked up Apia, and the bearded man said:
"Are you Catfolk, the lord's new recruit?"
