For those who build houses, it would be a blessing if no accidents happen.
However, in his previous life, Li Jia Shu liked the sayings of an elder very much:
"A person's destiny, of course, depends on one's own efforts, but one must also consider the course of history."
Especially in a world where extraordinary powers exist,
Risk-takers always bring variables.
...
It was noon, and the sun had just broken through the dark clouds, shining the first ray of sunshine on Gusi City today.
In front of the main entrance of the castle,
The six soldiers stood in two lines, not holding weapons in their hands, but holding horn flutes.
"Woo~", "Woo~" xn
The flute played loudly and the red carpet was rolled out.
Butler Ator had a smile on his face, bowed slightly, stretched out his right hand towards the castle, and said to the four people in front of him:
"Lord Baron and the monks, please come inside. The luncheon has been prepared. Master Chuyang is waiting for you two."
The noble young man nodded coldly and walked straight in, followed closely by the two guard brothers.
The Judgment Knight took a few distant glances at the busy people in the open space outside the manor in the distance.
She saw a tall man in a cloak directing the slaves wearing strange-shaped helmets to erect wooden bars of different lengths in the pit. Then other division workers put some masonry and leather scraps into specific shapes.
They were piled up in sequence between the wooden strips, and then another division worker slowly applied what looked like mud to the outside of the masonry with tools.
It was 40% similar to the masonry work she had seen in the kingdom, and 60% different.
"Sir? Your Excellency, monk?" The butler's voice sounded from the side, and she came back to her senses.
The butler's face was always filled with a smile, and his right hand was still stretched out, facing the castle.
"Mr. Chuyang is kind-hearted and has given those slaves plenty to eat. Don't worry, sir." Butler A'tor whispered to the crime knight.
The latter nodded and walked into the castle.
Ten minutes later, the restaurant on the second floor.
The long straight wooden table was filled with game, fruit, white bread, a small bucket of honey, and homemade wine that didn't look very valuable.
"Baron Arcadio, I apologize for the poor hospitality. Originally, the castle did have several fine bedrooms for distinguished guests, but as you can see, the family is unfortunate! The castle left by our ancestors, according to legend,
In my hand, most of it collapsed."
Chu Yang was wearing a purple velvet silk dress, sitting on the main seat, and preaching to the guests across the table in a complaining tone.
"I can only let you and the monk stay in Gusi City. Oh, but if there is any need, let your subordinates send a message and I will try my best to help."
"Behind you is the wealthy Buendia family. It is an honor for the people of Gusi to have a distinguished guest like you visit Gusi City."
The aristocratic young man named Arcadio Buendia nodded slightly at the other end of the table.
He replied coldly: "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Federesh. But I think our group will not trouble you, lord."
The noble young man picked up the wine glass, raised his glass to the young lord across the table who looked only four or five years younger than him, and then took a sip.
**, this wine is really astringent, you really can’t make good wine in a remote area.
Arcadio secretly despised him, his expression still cold.
To be honest, he had no intention of visiting her at first.
However, the night before yesterday, after Juana met him, she asked to rest for a day (to deal with various chores and get familiar with the environment of the small town) before visiting the local lord.
Arcadio objected at that time and explained that he just wanted to work quietly and it was best not to have any entanglements with the locals.
However, the Judgment Knight is the core member of the team, the one who can fight the most.
Juana directly said that the Federesh family has been on the island for hundreds of years and must have a deeper control and understanding of the situation on the island.
In addition to the clues on the snakeskin map, the secret information held by the local lord must also have reference value.
Arcadio immediately objected: What if the local lord is actually a heretic deeply hidden in the Kingdom of Spain?
Aren't you afraid that the four of us went to a banquet? At the banquet, the lord threw a glass of wine as a signal, and five hundred swordsmen and axes came out from both sides, surrounded us, and chopped us into minced meat?
The Knight of Punishment fearlessly told Arcadio that the extraordinary heritage of the Church of the Holy Atonement is far beyond the imagination of mortals.
Juana explained a little secret to the noble young man,
In the Inquisition, every knight and inquisitor who has entered the realm of transcendence has his or her own life lamp in the secret headquarters of the Inquisition.
Once a Knight of Excommunication or an Inquisitor of Excommunication dies in a manner other than the end of his life, the Life Lamp will record the subject's place of death, time of death, and the last image the pupils looked at.
If the local lord is really a heretic, Juana really died unfortunately...
There is no need to look for the ruins of the 'Underground Sacrifice' anymore. Based on the information provided by the Inquisition and under the leadership of the Excommunication Inquisitor, the Crusaders will come directly to Gusi City and, without saying a word, first bring down the local lord and his men.
They were all put into a dungeon and slowly examined.
Don't be afraid of being smashed to pieces, we will come to interrogate the whole family tomorrow.
It is also commonly known as, if you beat the younger ones, the older ones will naturally come to regain the place.
The noble young man was speechless. He was still young. Why did he think he would sacrifice his life for the church?
However, after second thoughts, I still agreed to the arrangement of the Crime Knight.
He is guarded by his two brothers, who are very skilled and can defeat ten enemies.
And Juana can be the enemy of a hundred people.
In this remote and remote place, it is difficult to say whether the lord can afford to support 30 soldiers.
What's more, my luck shouldn't be that bad.
It's impossible, the local lord is really a deeply hidden heretic... right?
"Ahem, Baron Arcadio and Brother Toledo, I wonder why you came all the way?"
"I heard from the sheriff in the city that the four of you came to the island to capture rare monsters for His Majesty the King?"
Chu Yang asked in an extremely calm tone.
He looks calm on the outside, but actually feels anxious inside.
Late the night before yesterday, Brother Hadir, the Sheriff of Gus City, and Axelarat Li reported the situation to him one after another.
Brother Hadir described the situation in the tavern and speculated that the real purpose of the four adventurers might not be to 'collect and capture World of Warcraft'.
Because, Hadir noticed that after he told the story of the 'Five White Geese', a folk legend that was actually spread in Gus City, the short guard of the noble young man actually thought at first, 'Are you kidding me?
We?', rather than 'Do we have more detailed information about this rare monster?'.
The first reaction was not to delve deeper, but to suspect that he had been deceived. Hadir felt a little suspicious.
The Sheriff of Gus City reported to the lord the origin of the noble young man and the location of the property they purchased.
In order to purchase local real estate, you still have to go through the process of checking roads and identity. The Sheriff reported to Chuyang that the aristocratic young man’s name was Arcadio Buendia, and he came from a border in the southeast of the kingdom.
Ling, the second son of the local lord.
The border territory of the Buendia family borders the Saracen region. There are many cross-border caravans, the territory is rich, and there are about 60,000 permanent citizens in the territory.
Commonly known as the big dog owner.
With a stroke of his pen, Baron Arcadio spent 3 gold coins (tax included) to buy a vacant residence from a bakery owner in an area of the city near the lighthouse.
And asked the bakery owner to deliver the first batch of freshly baked white bread to his doorstep every day for the next two months.
Big dog owner!
Finally, it was the devil who told himself what happened in the chapel that night.
Chuyang panicked at that time,
Could it be that the church discovered the traces of his father’s troubles in the kingdom?
The devil told Chu Yang not to panic, as panic would not solve any problems.
Moreover, if the church really knew Chu Yang’s family’s little secret—the study of black magic and alchemy—then why was it not the Crusaders who landed on the island, but a noble young master, two guards, and a condemnation knight?
Information gaps obviously exist.
Don't panic, just play with them first.
The true purpose of this adventuring team is now unknown, and Li Jia Shu does not dare to act rashly.
Therefore, after receiving the "visit letter" entrusted by the noble young man to deliver to the castle, Li Jia Shu told Chu Yang,
Just throw a good banquet and perform normally.
Chu Yang was a feudal lord. Although he was still young, he must have received relevant education from his previous lord.
The provocative test at the dinner table, let the lord handle it by himself.
The devil is not a babysitter,
People have subjective initiative. If you believe in Chuyang and believe in him, you can do things well.
Or, think about it from another angle,
Why doesn't the devil come to the feast?
Nonsense, the devil has to go get ashes!
If he doesn't guide the workers to build houses, who else can?
If the construction period is delayed, who bears the responsibility?
Just wait until everyone's intrigues are over, then listen to Chu Yang's report and give analysis and suggestions.
"Yes, Mr. Federesh, the four of us visited your territory precisely to help His Majesty the King collect rare monsters." Arcadio shook the wine in the glass and said slowly, "The day before yesterday, in the small town tavern
Yes, I heard your people mentioned the legend of the 'Five White Geese'."
"I wonder, dear Federesh, if you can provide me with some more secret and in-depth information? For example, are there any strange natural places on the island? Oh, like the ruins of ancient people, if you know
If so?"
Chu Yang pondered for a moment,
Then he replied: "Well, in this regard, I can indeed provide some secret information..."
"Master! Ouch, it's not good!" A reckless servant ran from the downstairs to the door of the restaurant, shouting, and then found with a confused look that the master and several guests all turned their heads to look.
Own.
"You didn't see me entertaining distinguished guests! How inappropriate is it to yell and scream! It's embarrassing for me." Chu Yang scolded with an unhappy look on his face.
Afterwards, Chu Yang calmed down and asked the servant: "What's the matter? Tell me quickly."
Servant: "Sir, the dungeon under the castle has begun to seep again! It seems to be more serious than last time!"
"Just now, I and two other people were drying hard with a mop and a wooden bucket."
"Sir, do you think you should let your lord Keqing tidy up the dungeon first?"
Chu Yang waved his hand and answered casually:
"I understand, you can go back and do your work."
The servant bowed to the lord and ran downstairs.
The young lord in purple velvet silk looked at Arcadio apologetically,
"Hey, I made you laugh. The servants still need discipline. They are careless and not as smart as the servants of the noble families."
The noble young man chuckled, shook his head, and said: "Let's have lunch first. After enjoying the delicious meal, we will have a detailed chat with Mr. Federesh about the 'Five White Geese' and other secret knowledge on the island."
The noble young man used a silver fork to pick up a piece of charcoal-roasted lamb rib.
The lord used a silver spoon to scoop up a spoonful of honey from the bucket.
"No, I won't have lunch. Let's talk about business first."
The golden ball of mantra light floated from the hands of the Judgment Knight.
"Lord Federesh," Juana said solemnly,
"There aren't any dirty little secrets hidden in the dungeon of your castle, are there?"
Chu Yang was stunned for a moment, the spoon filled with honey stopped at his mouth.
