The residence of Baron Pope is a castle similar to the Western Middle Ages. As a baron with a fief, his ancestors were once glorious in the past. Even though it has been passed down from generation to generation, the glory of the past is slowly gone.
His land is slowly shrinking due to various reasons, but he is still a baron who actually owns a fief and controls the fate of more than a thousand people.
In the castle, there are various defense facilities such as city walls and arrow towers, and a guard team of twenty people equipped with leather armor and stainless steel swords is patrolling.
From Zhao Feng's insightful eyes, it can be seen that each of the twenty-man escorts has the strength of a second-level bronze warrior or above, and there are even three third-level bronze warriors.
This kind of strength is much more elite than most of the first-level bronze warriors in Daofenburu City.
Inside the castle, the floor is paved with marble, and oil paintings are hung around the walls. It is clean and tidy, revealing a touch of luxury.
Along the way, Zhao Feng met many young maids and male servants who were busy in the castle. Whenever they saw Pop approaching, they would salute Pop.
As soon as Zhao Feng's swamp monitor lizard entered the castle, a servant came to lead it to the livestock shed. Although he was very frightened by the swamp monitor lizard that could swallow a human in one mouthful, that person
Still trembling, the servant followed the baron's instructions and took it away.
Entering a study room where guests were waiting, Zhao Feng sat on the sofa with Baron Pop.
A pretty maid, about sixteen or seventeen years old, brought a cup of hot coffee to each of them and then left.
"Dear Mr. Mage, where are you from?" Baron Pope asked plainly.
"I'm from Rock Town." Zhao Feng said calmly.
Starting with this ordinary courtesy, Zhao Feng began to chat slowly with Baron Pope.
Half of Zhao Feng's soul is a resident of this world, and the other half comes from modern times. Although the soul from the residents of this world basically has no language and has not learned much knowledge, the other half comes from the earth with the information explosion, and
There was another magician known for his power and eccentricity as a cover. As time went by, Baron Pop became more and more impressed by the profound knowledge and wisdom of the young magician in front of him.
As the chat with Baron Napoleon progressed, the noble Napoleon was described as a parasite on the earth, disgusting, perverted, likes to rob civilian women, incompetent, only known as romantic, equivalent to synonymous with waste, and because of Napolei
The poor impression that the city of Daupenburu was easily captured by the orcs, led by Xi's useless leader, was gradually reversed.
Baron Pope is involved in many fields such as agriculture, hunting, economics, law, arithmetic, politics, history, etc. He is the ruler and the largest manager of this fief. Although the residents of his fief are not rich
, but maintaining food and clothing is not a problem. Controlling the fate of more than a thousand people in a territory is not a simple matter. In this era of backward technology with an output of two to three hundred kilograms of wheat per mu, it can be seen that it is possible to maintain food and clothing for the people in the territory.
That's Baron Pop's ability.
"Mr. Pope, please help me buy one hundred and fifty big fat pigs to feed my magic pets. This is the reward, ten flowers of the black spirit. Please buy them all as soon as possible!" Zhao Feng picked up the package from the bag he carried.
Among them, twenty flowers of the black spirit were taken out and pushed in front of Baron Pope.
One big fat pig costs about two or three gold coins, and one hundred and fifty big fat pigs costs three hundred or four hundred gold coins.
A black spirit flower, a buyer in Dauphinburu City is willing to pay twenty gold coins, but if there is a way, it can definitely be sold for more than thirty gold coins. If it is placed inside a mage
In a small auction, more than forty gold coins can even be auctioned. These twenty black spirit flowers can be sold for four hundred to six hundred gold coins, which is far more than the value of those big fat pigs.
However, the business here is not as developed as the earth, and the service is attentive. Zhao Feng, who does not have any human resources, needs to spend a lot of time and effort whether he wants to sell the black spirit flower or buy 150 big fat pigs.
Energy, but for the local snake Baron Pope, it is very simple and only requires one command.
"As expected of a magician, he is really rich." Baron Pope sighed in his heart. From this business, through the channels he controlled, he could earn nearly two hundred gold coins in one go.
If the harvest in Baron Pope's entire territory is good, excluding the wages paid to the housekeeper and servants, food expenses, weapon maintenance fees, and other various expenses in a year, the surplus will only be more than a thousand gold coins at most. If this happens
When the previous year was not good and the crop yield was low, you might even lose money.
"No problem, you will get what you want tomorrow." Baron Pope smiled slightly and shook a bell, and a middle-aged man wearing butler's clothes walked in, "Put these away, tomorrow
Before sunset, send one hundred and fifty big fat pigs into the castle."
"Yes! Lord Baron!" The butler responded, put away the ten flowers of the black spirit, and then retreated.
Zhao Feng and Baron Pope chatted for a while longer. Time passed and the dinner began.
In the banquet hall, there was a long table. On the table, there was a layer of spotless white cloth. On the white cloth, there were soft and delicious white bread, jam, cheese, cod, and little hen stew.
Mushroom soup, grilled veal tenderloin and all kinds of exquisite food.
There are three members of Todd's family. Todd's wife Margo is a blond, blue-eyed, ordinary-looking woman with big hands and feet, who looks very old. Todd's son Beck is a blond-haired, blue-eyed little girl.
boy.
The Todd family were all neatly dressed, but their clothes seemed a little out of place for the dinner.
Todd and Margot both seemed a little restrained in front of the Baron, while the little Baker stared closely at the food on the table.
"Praise to the great God of Fire Heckmore! Under your protection, we can have peace and harvest food. Praise you!"
After Baron Pope and his wife prayed, the meal officially began.
Todd and Margo were still a little restrained when facing the distinguished Baron Pope, but the little Baker began to devour the food on the table. They were ordinary farmers in the territory of Baron Pope. The things on the table,
Many of them have never eaten.
Looking at the devouring little baker, Baron Pope frowned slightly, and then relaxed. As a noble, he hated dining with uneducated people, but Zhao Feng, a distinguished mage, was beside him.
, it was inconvenient for him to say anything more.
