The last soldier took the opportunity to stab Lin Tian. As if Lin Tian could see the situation behind him, he easily dodged it. At the same time, his sword connected with the waist of the soldier.
Within a few minutes, Lin Tian had defeated all five soldiers. Lin Tian incorporated his combat techniques into the sword and shield, which made him very powerful on the battlefield.
All the soldiers were shocked by Lin Tian’s skills. He was obviously a noble mage, but he could easily defeat five people with a sword. In the eyes of these soldiers, Lin Tian was omnipotent.
Even cat-eared Mary’s eyes lit up when she saw him. She really did not expect Lin Tian’s skills to be so powerful.
Lin Tian threw away the wooden sword and said, “Combat can improve your reaction speed and flexibility in battle. From now on, everyone will spend two hours every day practicing, combining the usage of the sword and shield together!”
“Yes, Lord!” answered all the soldiers in unison.
[He is blinding me!]
[The streamer is actually a melee mage!]
[The same action looks so much cooler when the streamer performs it!]
[White Rabbit gave the streamer a Ferrari!]
[Witch Bento gave the streamer a Ferrari!]
The livestream was in a frenzy of rewards.
In the town square, the soldiers had already started training.
Lin Tian gave them a lot of wooden swords. It was more suitable to use wooden swords at the beginning of the training. After getting used to it, only then would they use actual swords. Even though the soldiers would easily get injured if they used actual swords, but this would also make the soldiers more serious.
After this training, Lin Tian’s goal of establishing prestige had indeed been achieved. He became a symbol of strength in the hearts of every soldier. Everyone respected Lin Tian from the bottom of their hearts.
[Streamer, I want to see more!]
[One more round!]
[Streamer, aren’t the cat-eared ladies also very powerful? Have a fight with them!]
Lin Tian looked at the time and mercilessly ended the livestream. Although the people in the livestream had long been accustomed to Lin Tian’s ruthlessness, they still could not help but complain that they had not seen enough.
In the afternoon, Diana handed three ledgers to Lin Tian.
“Lord, these are all the expenses of the territory.”
These ledgers were written by the few people recruited by Lin Tian who knew how to settle accounts. Under Lin Tian’s guidance, they could barely be considered accountants. As of now, Lin Tian only had to personally check the ledgers. After all, he had gained many more useful people.
Lin Tian returned to the castle and began to carefully check the ledgers. In the hall, Mary was in a daze while Jenny stood beside Lin Tian, waiting for his instructions. This was how they usually got along. Mary was silent most of the time, while Jenny remembered the rules of being a maid.
Lin Tian said, “Jenny, sit down.”
Jenny said, “It’s okay, master. I’ll stand.”
She looked at the ledger in Lin Tian’s hand and asked, “Master, is this a ledger?”
Lin Tian said, “Yes. Can you read?”
Jenny nodded. “My sister taught me.”
Lin Tian handed her a ledger. “Sit down. Can you understand it?”
Jenny took the ledger and sat on the sofa next to Lin Tian, focusing on it.
When the cat-eared lady focused on something, her furry ears would perk up slightly, which made her look exceptionally cute.
Mary said, “Master, let me help you check them.”
Lin Tian naturally agreed and handed Mary a ledger. Mary took it and looked at it carefully. Soon, Mary found a problem. “There’s a mistake here.”
Lin Tian handed her a pencil. “If you find a mistake, mark it.”
Mary took the pencil and looked at it curiously. However, she was already used to Lin Tian taking out some new things from time to time. She took the pencil and began to mark the mistakes in the ledger. She was very fast and soon finished reading the ledger. Lin Tian then handed another ledger to her.
Mary whispered, “Master, you’re exploiting me.”
Lin Tian smiled and said nothing. Mary took the ledger and continued to check it. Lin Tian read it with her while Jenny looked at her.
Half an hour later, Mary finished marking all the mistakes in the ledger. Jenny handed the ledger in her hand to her.
Mary pouted. “Jenny!”
She complained but still took the ledger from Jenny.
Lin Tian began to check her markings and found that there were no mistakes in the ledger that Mary had checked. Lin Tian did not expect Mary to not only be strong in combat but also be capable of reading and counting!
The next day, Lin Tian walked to the construction site and entered a simple tent. He called for the three accountants.
“Lord, they are here.” Diana brought the three accountants over.
They stood in front of Lin Tian’s table together. Lin Tian took out the three ledgers. “Take a look.”
When the three of them saw Lin Tian’s actions, their hearts skipped a beat. They picked up their own ledgers and began to look through them. Then, they realized that all the mistakes in the ledgers had been marked out.
One of the accounts immediately said, “Lord, I’m sorry. I was careless and didn’t check them properly.”
Lin Tian looked at him indifferently and did not say anything.
When the accountants saw Lin Tian’s expression, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. “I’ll do it again. There won’t be any mistakes this time.”
Another accountant chimed in, “Lord, I’ll do it again as well.”
Lin Tian’s gaze swept past him. The accountant felt the pressure hidden under Lin Tian’s calm gaze. His legs instantly turned into jelly.
[The streamer’s gaze is lethal!]
[Eh, it seems that there are many more people in the livestream!]
[The streamer’s 1 versus 5 video should have leaked out yesterday.]
A few seconds later, an accountant knelt down and started kowtowing.
“Lord, please spare my life. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have been greedy!”
[Wow, something fishy is going on!]
[Streamer, 666!]
Only then did Lin Tian speak. His tone was calm. “Tell me yourself. What did you do?”
The accountant no longer dared to act dumb. He quickly told him everything he had done.
In fact, it was not difficult for him to do it. Due to the overtime pay at Lin Tian’s construction site, everyone had a different pay every day. As most of the people did not have the ability to calculate and keep accounts, most people did not know how much they should be paid every week.
The accountant took a copper coin from the wages of dozens of workers and added it to the wages of his relatives, which resulted in each relative having more than ten copper coins. Under normal circumstances, it would be hard to tell. After all, Lin Tian did not keep guard every day.
However, the accountant did not expect that a few dozen copper coins a week would be more than a person’s income in a month. In addition, he had also made a few mistakes, which were marked by Mary. Later on, Lin Tian found some suspicious points, but he was uncertain, so he took the opportunity to trick him.
[This accountant actually thought of such a good method!]
[I’ve learned something new.. If I take a penny from everyone’s account in the world, I’ll become a millionaire!]
