The next day, after traveling all the way, the caravan finally arrived at its destination, the castle where Viscount Moreau was located.

After climbing over many hills and forests, a flat wilderness appeared between two tall mountains.

Wheat is grown in the wilderness, and the fields are scattered like large grids on the ground, which makes people look at it from a distance and have a pleasing beauty.

On the side of the mountain near the west side, there is a ring of white stone city walls, and inside is a small city. If you continue to look up the hillside, you can see the white castle shrouded in tree shades.

This castle built more than a hundred years ago is not dilapidated and still retains its past style intact. A few soldiers patrol the watchtower of the castle, overlooking the small town and wilderness below.

Lorraine Hill followed the convoy into the city. After some inspections by the guards, the convoy continued forward and slowly headed towards the hillside where the castle was located.

"Welcome, Miss Charlene." A guard captain wearing full armor stepped forward. He lifted up his steel mask, revealing a slightly handsome face.

"This is the captain of the castle's guard, Kevin. I'm an old acquaintance." Charlene introduced Lorraine Hill beside her.

"Hello, beautiful Miss Swordsman." Kevin has short chestnut hair and some unshaven stubble on his chin. He looks about 25-30 years old.

"Hello." Lorraine Hill nodded, stretched out his gauntleted hand, and shook it briefly.

"Is this Ms. Charlene's new partner? He's very strong." Kevin probably has a Sequence 4 strength and is considered a minor expert in the surrounding area. Naturally, he can sense how extraordinary this swordsman lady is.

"Of course, Mecia is our great hero." Charlene took Lorraine Hill into the castle and talked about what happened along the way.

"Is there such a big bear? This is no small matter." Kevin rubbed his chin, recalling the various intelligences he had received recently. There seemed to be a lot more traces of Warcraft in this peaceful place recently.

"Forget it, I can't figure it out right now. I'll talk to Master Mo Ruo later."

"Master Mo Ruo has been looking forward to Miss Charlene's arrival recently. He has become a lot more irritable after losing his beloved piano. Every time we see him, we are a little worried."

Afterwards, Kevin also talked to Charlene about the recent events in the castle. Viscount Moreau is a music fan, and his biggest hobby is playing his beloved piano in the forest.

"The music of the piano, accompanied by the singing of birds, sunshine and breeze, is the most beautiful enjoyment in life." This is the mantra that Viscount Moreau often talks about.

He likes nature and hates the same symphonies in big cities. He prefers quiet and moving minor tunes. He lives in the castle in his hometown all year round. If a small animal hadn't broken his piano some time ago, he would have lost his temper at this time.

I guess I was sitting in the seat among the trees again.

"According to Mr. Mo Ruo's request, we bought a brand new piano from a well-known musical instrument shop in Longyi City. We also hired a tuning apprentice to inspect and assemble the piano," said Miss Shalin.

No problem, they brought what the Viscount wanted.

"However, other goods ordered by the Viscount, such as fruits, wine, and cloth, were lost a lot on the road. The black bear caused a lot of damage to the carriage."

"These problems are not big. Believe me, Mr. Mo Ruo is more concerned about whether the piano is in good condition. As long as Miss Charlene brings the piano, you will be satisfied with more than seven points." Kevin said in a clear tone, and then greeted the maid in the castle.

Go notify the housekeeper.

The caravan personnel unloaded the goods one by one into the open space in the castle and moved them carefully. A middle-aged housekeeper also came over.

"Oh, what a wonderful day. Thank you, Miss Charlene." He looked at the slowly moving boxes, with an exaggerated and admiring smile on his face, and then stepped forward to say hello to Miss Charlene.

"I will notify Lord Mo Ruo immediately. Everyone, please rest here for a while."

"Jasmine, go to the kitchen and prepare some water for everyone. I think everyone will be thirsty by now."

"Yes, sir." A young maid nodded and saluted, then walked towards the back in small steps.

After chatting for a while, the butler returned to the castle again, seemingly looking for Viscount Moreau, while Kevin and several guards counted the goods one by one and moved vegetables, fruits and the like to the designated warehouse.

Lorraine Hill was free at this time. She was just a guard hired by the caravan and did not have to move things. She sat on a bench nearby and looked around boredly.

Looking from the side of the castle, there is some moss on the stone brick walls, and there are rust stains in some places where water often flows through. Compared to the slightly ancient outer walls of the castle, the buildings inside are much newer, with only

You can tell from the light yellow color on the walls that they were painted in recent years, they are very clean and beautiful.

Looking up along the wall, one can see the arched window sills, which are inlaid with glass lattice windows. Some windows are not closed, but let the wind blow through the curtains and blow into them.

At this time, a female face poked out from behind the window, quietly looking down, and after a while, she retreated back into the room, never to be seen again.

Is it the female family member in the castle? I just don’t know if it’s Viscount Moreau’s wife or daughter. The girl simply guessed.

A crisp sound of footsteps came from inside the castle. The sound of leather shoes stepping on marble slabs made people think of some kind of rigid and conservative dress.

Soon, the footsteps walked out of the hall and came to the courtyard of the castle.

"Sir Mo Ruo." Kevin saluted respectfully, acting like a dedicated guard.

The girl turned her gaze when she heard the sound, and a little old man wearing a black dress and leather shoes appeared in her sight. He seemed to be about fifty years old, with a height of only about 1.5 meters, and a shiny beard on his chin.

The Viscount didn't pay attention to Kevin's greeting. He simply waved his hand and walked down the steps towards the boxes placed on the open space.

"Where's the piano I want?" he said as he walked.

"Here, please take a look." Charlene asked the caravan members beside her to open the box, revealing the well-preserved piano body inside, but it had not been assembled yet and was lying on its side under a thick blanket.

The yellowed fingertips gently stroked the shiny and smooth body of the piano, and the viscount showed an intoxicated look on his face.

"Very good, very good."

Immediately, he raised his head and looked at Charlene.

"I said before that I wanted a tuner from the musical instrument shop to assemble the piano. Did you bring it?"

"We have discussed this matter with the musical instrument workshop, but several masters in the musical instrument workshop expressed their unwillingness to leave Longyi City. As you know, the southern border has not been peaceful recently..." Sha Lin carefully considered her words,

And listening to her words, Viscount Moruo's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"But fortunately, we still found a person who is capable of helping you with tuning and assembly. He is Master Jide's apprentice. Now he has superb skills and can complete your needs." After saying this, Charlene asked the members to come over.

A young man in his 20s.

This young man wears a dark green scarf on his head and a light robe. Looking at his slender fingers, it makes people a little more trustworthy.

After looking at the tuning apprentice for a long time, Viscount Moreau snorted indifferently.

"My patience is limited. You must assemble the piano before the sun sets today, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences." After saying this, he left with his hands behind his back dissatisfied.

"Kevin, please bring a few people to help and try to get them to finish it as quickly as possible." His commanding voice came from a distance.

"Yes, sir." Kevin stood at attention again and replied.

The originally relaxed atmosphere in the castle became awkward and tense.

"It's okay, you have been studying under Master Gid for so long, you can do it." Miss Charlene had to comfort the young apprentice beside her. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be frightened by Viscount Moreau's momentum.

After all, he was just an ordinary civilian, and he couldn't imagine the consequences of offending a real nobleman.

After explaining, Miss Charlene came over.

"I'm sorry, Mecia. I originally wanted to take you around here, but now I have to do other things first."

"How about this? I'll ask some of my companions to arrange a place for you to live in a small town and take a rest first."

"It's okay, after all, work is important." Lorraine Hill shook his head to show that he didn't care, and then walked outside the castle with several caravan members.

When she was about to leave, the girl caught another glimpse of the figure behind the glass window on the upper floor of the castle. At this time, because of the angle, she could see clearly. She was a girl wearing a lotus leaf round-neck dress, about 20 years old, with fair skin.

, has dark golden curly hair.

Is she the daughter of Viscount Moreau, but she looks nothing like him. The girl had some thoughts and then walked towards the gravel path on the hillside.

After arriving in this small town, some members of the Röntgen Chamber of Commerce had already taken a rest. They rented a yard specifically to store goods and carriages, and many of their accompanying people were also arranged here.

"Miss Mecia, this is the room arranged for you, what do you think." After getting along with each other these days, most of the caravan members got to know this swordsman lady.

"Okay." The girl nodded as she looked at the room on the second floor. Although the furnishings were simple, it was still tidy.

"Then let's rest here first. We will stay for a few more days." The young man from the caravan briefly introduced the itinerary.

After arriving here, in addition to handing over the goods, they will also purchase some local specialties before leaving, staying for about a week.

In this way, Lorraine Hill stayed for the time being and took advantage of the peaceful time to practice his current extraordinary sequence.

The sky is getting dark, the birds in the forest are chirping and flying at low altitude, and the setting sun in the distance dyes the leaves in the tree shades red.

A burst of piano music sounded in the forest. Although it was not rhythmic, each note was played back and forth several times.

"Is it okay?" Miss Charlene looked at the apprentice who was wiping his sweat.

"It should be fine." The apprentice replied somewhat unconfidently. Although no problem could be found so far, he still didn't dare to guarantee it.

"There's still a little while until dark, let's check again. Viscount Moreau is still very demanding."

"Hmm." Then the apprentice began to play carefully and observe.

Charlene turned around and looked at the gradually darkening woods around her, feeling that the evening breeze was getting a little cooler.

I really don’t know how Viscount Moreau maintains this place. It feels like there are no protective measures. Wouldn’t wild beasts come here on weekdays?

Charlene was thinking in her mind, her eyes scanning the ground.

"Ah! Snake, snake, snake!"

Suddenly, a horrified scream rang in Charlene's ears. When she turned around, she saw a long snake the same color as fallen leaves wrapped around the apprentice's ankle, and the snake's teeth bit directly into the thigh. The scene was messy and panicked.

The long snake with dead leaves pattern is not big, but its twisted body and triangular head make people feel scared.

In response to this, Charlene couldn't help but take a few steps back, feeling a little panicked for a moment.

"What happened?" Hearing the shouts from the hill behind the castle, the guard captain Kevin rushed out from the castle. He jumped out and ran down the stairs in alternating steps quickly and entered the small woods.

Seeing that the apprentice had fallen to the ground and started twitching, Kevin reached up and grabbed the snake's head, pulled it out, and then kept swinging it, throwing the snake to the side of the tree trunk and smashing it down.

Unfortunately, this snake did not seem to be an ordinary creature, but a monster with extraordinary attributes. It twisted on the ground for a while, but did not die, but ran out into the middle of the forest.
