In the past, Marquis Raphael had a troops of more than 6,000 people, but now there are only less than 5,000 left. In the past few days of war with the trolls, more than a thousand soldiers were either sacrificed or disabled. No matter what, they left the army forever.

There were more than 100 disabled adventurers who died in this battle.

As for the minor injuries, there are more people, and almost everyone is injured. The true face of this war.

In order to inspire morale before the war, the former Marquis of Raphael promised high bounties and pensions, and now Marquis of Link Raphael is required to cash in.

It was not until the old housekeeper reminded that dinner was about to begin that Link stopped reading the account book.

However, from the account book, Link also saw some of the true appearance of the Marquis of Raphael's territory. Of course, when there was time, Link still wanted to go around the territory by himself.

Marquis Link Raphael sat in the main seat of the restaurant, and the two future mistresses, Alan Raphael and Ada Raphael, sat on both sides of Link after washing the white-white. The Marquis of Susan Raphael sat opposite him.

The four of them sat down. A team of maids came up to arrange the tableware. Another team of maids brought four loaves of bread. The four people who were sitting did not need to take action. The maid who placed the tableware in front of them cut the bread open, applied butter, and placed it on the silver plate in front of Link.

Link picked up the bread and tasted it, and a sweet and soft smell exploded in his taste buds.

In a few bites, Link finished a loaf of bread. The bread was very soft and hence it was not eaten.

Marquis Link Raphael: "This bread is good."

Alan Raphael: "Of course, this is the Queen's bread. It is something that few people can eat in the Holy Empire."

Ada Raphael added: "The Queen's Bread is made of selected wheat flour that has been sifted dozens of times, fermented with fresh beer, and is also baked with honey, herbs, eggs and milk. It is baked by the best baker. It is eaten and cooked every day. In order to marry my mother, my father defeated many other competitors on the condition that my mother could eat Queen's Bread every day, and finally got the beauty back."

This is really hard to put money in. Just sifting wheat flour dozens of times before each meal, this work may take dozens of people to complete. However, Marquis Link Raphael also understood why there are as many as fifty chef teams in the Marquis’ mansion.

The Queen's bread was not enough for one person, so the maids served stewed beef and stewed lamb. Link and the sisters Alan Ada were more, and the Marquises Susan Raphael had less. After all, the Marquises Susan Raphael was not a senior warrior, and the food was much smaller than that of the senior warrior.

Allen now has a level 14 battle position, and Ada is one step away from entering level 14. Both of them have a food supply close to the Sanctuary.

The last dish is fresh soup made of fresh shrimp, fresh mushrooms and fresh vegetables.

After the meal, Marquis Susan Raphael left first with her maid.

Sisters Link and Alan Ada also went back to the house to rest. In private time, Link asked: "I thought you would object to this."

Alan Raphael: "We have no say in this matter unless I have become a sanctuary and have a little say. But a sanctuary is still a newly promoted sanctuary, and it is still difficult to protect the family. My father and two brothers and three of them failed."

Ada Raphael: "Since we have been supported by the family since we were young, we naturally have the responsibility to contribute to the continuation of this family. Now it is the best result."

Link: "What about the worst outcome?"

Ada Raphael: "Of course, the Raphael family was removed from the aristocratic system of the Holy Empire. The Queen would probably directly govern this territory, or hand it over to some newly promoted holy lands and become someone else's territory."

From this day on, Link had another obligation, which was to sow seeds for two newly married wives, and gave Link the feeling that the principle of marrying a wife is the same as farming.

Link's life has also become busy. After getting up in the morning, there are naturally maids who help me get water and wash my face. After breakfast, Link has to randomly check the tax or legal work in the city, and sometimes he goes to the logistics or the army to take a look.

Finally, the Allen Ada sisters took over the daily training of the army, otherwise Link would have been busier.

This Marquis Link Raphael was not so easy to do.

After lunch, Link would meet with the butler and handle some matters in the territory. In every detail, most of them were just informed by the butler, and some of them needed to sign the signature of the Marquis of Link Raphael, such things would require money or materials.

Ten days after the former Marquis of Raphael died in battle, Link, his two wives and Marquis Susan Raphael held a funeral for the former Marquis, and the era of the official Marquis of Raphael officially began.

First of all, to celebrate the wedding of Marquis Link Raphael, the land rent in Marquis Link Raphael's territory was reduced by half this year - in fact, there was no wedding at all, and it was treated specially during special periods. It was just a reason to reduce taxes for ordinary people.

Link is a person from the lower class and understands the difficulties of ordinary people's lives very well. Not to mention the land rent is reduced by half, it is not a charge for land rent. In fact, rural farmers are still poor. However, if they are completely exempt from land rent, the farmers' families can probably maintain a level of food and clothing.

However, land rent is also a form of lord authority. After the old housekeeper's advice, Link changed the land rent to halved this year.

If Allen or Ada have children next year, you can still find a reason to reduce the rent.

If you have free time in the afternoon, you can read books and practice martial arts. As for studying magic, there are many empty rooms in the Marquis’ Mansion, but there is no magic laboratory.

Link is ready to wait until he has time to invite Master Lucy to come and design and build several magic labs for himself.

In the last war against trolls in territory, if Marquis Raphael had a few magic soldiers under his command, the result might be very different.

Although Link is a level 11 magician, compared with his legendary combat power, the identity of this level 11 magician is nothing.

For the time being, Link has no candidate to train magic soldiers himself, but magic soldiers can also be hired. There are a large number of half-elves living on the periphery of the Elf Forest, many of them have learned magic. After asking Lucy about the price of employment, Link understood why his ex-Marquis Raphael did not hire magic soldiers.

It is entirely because hiring magic soldiers is too expensive. It takes at least 300 gold coins to hire a level 12 magic soldiers a year. Judging from the income from the Marquis of Raphael, it is impossible to hire a few magic soldiers. His Highness Helena's mage tower hires a level 16 semi-elves holy land powerhouse, and only gives 150 gold coins a year.
