Before coming to Lansburg, Brian had learned about the specific situation of the nobles here.

Dils Horton Knight has the strength of an intermediate knight, but he is already over 30 years old and has limited room for improvement.

But being a guard captain is more than enough. After all, Brian's current guard captain is only a junior knight.

Brian certainly understood that the Horton Knight lowered his status and came to him because he was afraid that he would kill them all and completely eliminate the Horton family's influence on Lansburgh.

In order to appease him and all the Lansburg nobles, he appointed Knight Diers Horton as his personal bodyguard, the captain of the guard.

Brian, who was well aware of Lanesburg's financial situation, had no intention of holding a dinner party, and he was not afraid of leaving a reputation for being stingy, so he sent them all back directly.

Only a few nobles responsible for the government affairs of Lansburg were left to report to him the current situation of the Viscount of Lansburg.

Brian, who has a system in hand, knows many things better than these people.

The number of people in the territory can be pinpointed down to the single digit, but they only know a rough idea.

But on specific issues, these people still know more.

Most of Lansberg's income is in the fields, and it has the best plain fertile soil on the continent.

Unless something unexpected happens, there will be a bumper harvest almost every year. However, due to the lack of mines in Landsburg, most of the expenditures are on the purchase of iron and copperware.

There are two large towns and 23 natural villages in the territory, which can provide a small amount of commercial tax revenue.

There is no need to worry about customs duties. Landsberg is not located in a transportation fortress and there are not many business travelers in the past.

There are only two caravans under the Viscount's residence, and the caravan going to and from the royal capital was also taken away by my aunt.

Fortunately, Viscount Horton only took away a small number of serfs as auxiliary soldiers, which did not affect the agricultural production of the viscounty.

Brian decided to personally visit various parts of the territory in order to formulate a development plan.

It's a pity that the system doesn't have a gift package for newbies to help him get off to a perfect start.

After handling these trivial matters, as a qualified lord, of course he must review his army when he comes to the territory for the first time.

It's a pity that the number of guards in Lanesburg is not as large as the guards brought by Brian himself.

His 300 armored knights were now the strongest military force in the entire Landsburg.

Brian had another frank conversation with Horton Knight. Although he could not completely dispel his worries, at least his attitude towards the local nobles had been clearly expressed.

It was getting late, and it was time for Brian to rest after dinner. Lying on the bed in the master bedroom, Brian was still in a dream. It was hard to imagine that he had obtained a viscounty so easily.

No wonder the Duchess would risk Duke Horton's wrath to assassinate her. This risk is completely out of proportion to the benefits.

Brian couldn't sleep for a while, so he looked up his system. Unexpectedly, he found that in his personal attributes column, his reputation had increased by 10 points, although the evaluation was still unknown.

But you just lead a group of dukes and are not real viscounts. It is already good that you can increase your rank by 10 points.

What's even more surprising is that with the 10 points of reputation increased, it actually brought 10 points of achievement value to myself.

And 10 achievement points are just enough for a low-level lottery.

Sure enough, the lottery page is no longer gray and white. Although only low-level lottery can be performed, it is the first time after all, and Brian is still very excited.

Choose to start the lottery, and the 10 achievement points are reset to zero. The lottery wheel starts to rotate, and the pointer quickly stops on an unknown symbol.

Brian didn't know what this symbol meant, but the system quickly gave the answer. A simple glass water glass appeared out of thin air in front of Brian.

Brian hurriedly grabbed it, otherwise it would hit him in the face. It had been a long time since he had felt the soreness of having a cell phone smeared on his face.

Brian sat up from the bed, called the maid to light the lamp in the room, and carefully looked at the glass of water in his hand.

Although glass products were quite rare in this era, it was nothing unusual for a nobleman like him.

But the system will produce high-quality products, and soon a message appeared in front of Brian's eyes, explaining the use of the water cup.

After being filled with clean water, the water cup can automatically convert the water into an antidote. After drinking it, it can remove all toxins and negative effects in the body. The effect is stronger than the priest's healing technique.

Brian covered his forehead and thought helplessly, this system is really considerate, knowing that there are people who are longing for him to be poisoned.

Well, I will use this water cup to drink water from now on. Three glasses of water a day will keep diseases away from me.

I rummaged through the system again and made sure there was no gift package for beginners, so I gave up completely and slept peacefully.

This was his third day in another world, and Brian could finally sleep peacefully.

In the Duke's residence, Duke Horsman was confronting his wife.

Duke Horsman, who returned to the mansion two days ago, did not find the Duchess immediately to hold him accountable. Instead, he sent people to secretly control the Duchess's cronies, hoping to find evidence of the murder of his son.

It is extremely difficult to hide a secret in the magical world. Even though the number of soul mages is very small and unpopular, there are still many soul mages who are loyal to the great nobles.

It is much easier to steal information directly from other people's minds than to speak it out.

Soon the source of the poison and the person who carried out the poisoning mission were all investigated, and they were all the duchess's confidants.

The duchess glanced expressionlessly at the evidence produced by the duke and the cronies kneeling on the ground.

The duchess knew very well that Duke Horsman did not intend to kill himself in this posture.

As a pure political marriage, it was of great use. The Duke would not break with the family behind him for the sake of a second son, so he spoke first.

"I am willing to invest 5,000 gold coins to support Brian's development in Lanesburg."

Seeing that the Duke still didn't speak and looked at her coldly, the Duchess hesitated and continued.

"In order to ensure that Lansburg recovers as soon as possible, the Phils family is willing to donate two small caravans to Brian."

Duke Horsman nodded and said slowly.

"Brian will feel your sincerity. His life in Lanesburg should also be safe and worry-free. This is our common wish, right, my dear."

The Duchess promised.

"Of course, Brian's health is also what I hope for."

After receiving the Duchess's assurance, Duke Horsman's face bloomed with a smile again.

Duke Horsman was not worried that his wife would go back on her word and continued to attack Brian secretly. The promises of nobles were sometimes ridiculous, but sometimes they were valuable.
