Randolph's arrival was just a small episode for the Black Thorn Manor, and Roque was firmly in the lead in this conversation, in fact, he could have gone a little more far.

For example, if he makes some special requests, or directly retaliates, I believe that Randolph will compromise even if he is unwilling, but if he does not do so, no one can guess his mind, not even the author himself.

The current town of Miral, in terms of strength, who is the strongest, leaving aside those rangers who come and go quietly, maybe the nobles will unanimously agree that it is Murdan.

The most fundamental reason is that he was terrible that night, outrageously strong, and some details will only be remembered by people until after the fact, such as whether Randolph fought the other party that night.

The knight with the curse and the Randolph who rarely makes a move, which of the two is stronger, this is a question worth studying, if those nobles are in the Black Thorn Manor today, I am afraid there will be a more positive answer in their hearts.

Roque, as the person concerned, must have known better than anything in his heart, at least he thought that Randolph had concerns, no matter what he had, because Black Thorn Manor had Murdan.

If life is a table, then troubles must be an indispensable dish every day, there will always be some people who will die for it, it is a dish that cannot be refused, you can only taste it and then digest it.

The answer was yes to whether there was such a dish on Roque's table or not, and lunch arrived as promised, but only the servants were busy in the hall at this time.

Dancy was inspecting the dishes, looking extremely serious, not knowing if others had found out, but she knew very well in her heart that today was Roque's first lunch since becoming the heir of the Black Thorn Manor, and it was a day worth remembering.

Having a maid like Dancy is a happy thing for Roque, because she is always thinking about how to share the worries of the master and how to satisfy the master.

"Quack. ”

Listening to the sound to know who came first, the Duke jumped on the table in one step, and it probably smelled the fragrance.

Bah.

Click, click, click.

Swallowing the whole turkey in one bite, the Duke closed his mouth tightly and squirmed in his throat.

"Duke, Mr. Duke, you are here. ”

Dancy was so frightened by the other party that the other servants didn't dare to step forward at all, so they leaned behind her, the whole turkey was gone, and it was too late for her to stop it.

"Quack. ”

The Duke called out a few times, and his eyes fell on the roast leg of lamb on the silver plate on high legs.

"Mr. Duke, can you wait for Lord Roque. ”

After guessing the other party's intentions, Dancy hurriedly walked over and stood respectfully next to the roast leg of lamb.

"Quack!"

Click!

After a mouthful, the Duke realized that Dancy was holding the plate of roast lamb shank, looking like a calf, and she had to stare at another plate of fried ribs.

Dancy secretly prayed in her heart, she didn't dare to stop the other party, and at the moment she only hoped that Roque and the others could come back soon, otherwise the lunch would be cleaned up by this big toad.

Bah.

Click, click.

The Duke ate with relish, his eyes narrowed, revealing only a thumb-wide slit.

Click!

The whole bottle of red wine was eaten into its mouth, making a crisp sound, and the servants were already stunned, and Dancy kept holding the plate of roast lamb leg with trembling hands.

Time is food, Dancy is very anxious, if Roque doesn't come, I'm afraid I won't even have to eat the plate.

"It's a shame you don't catch bugs. ”

Roque walked in, his eyes a little cold, he had said this to the Duke alone.

"Sir, you're finally here. Dancy was overjoyed, she really didn't know how to clean up this mess.

"Hello sir. ”

"Sir, please dine. ”

The other servants were in the same mood as Dancy, and when Roque came, they found their backbone.

Strangely, no one else showed up, and Roque obviously didn't mean to wait for them, just sat down, picked up the dishes, and Dancy hurriedly put the plate of roast lamb leg in front of him softly.

"Roque, you're finally here, I'll eat this table deliciously by myself, and I always feel that it doesn't taste good. "The duke of the feast has a lot of resentment.

"If I don't come again, I'll have to eat at the table. Roque let out a sarcastic expression, disgruntled.

"How do I feel that your whole soul is gone after you go out, and you are in a good mood to be eaten by dogs?" asked the duke, a little puzzled, with concern.

Hearing this, Roque stopped eating and looked at the Duke with a strange smile.

"My manor has been emptied by my uncle, and I am estimated to be the poorest nobleman in the whole town of Miral. ”

The Duke could hear that Roque was saying this from the heart, and he stopped feasting, ready to think about saying something comforting.

"Is that going to starve?"

Hearing this unambitious remark, Roque glared at the duke.

"Don't worry, there is still money for food. ”

"That's good, I find that my appetite is getting better and better. Leaving behind an unscrupulous word, the Duke continued to feast.

Before noon, after seeing off Randolph, Millair approached Roque with an account book, saying that it was time to take stock of the estate's property.

As soon as he saw the other party's face, Roque knew that there must be nothing good, and sure enough, this inventory trip went extremely easily, and the treasury in the manor was almost empty.

It is estimated that the rats will starve to death when they settle here, and then Roque and Mireel go to several secret warehouses, and the same is true, and the gold and treasure are not known to be where.

This is something that Roque really can't figure out, and it's understandable that some of them are missing, but it's incredible that there is no hair left like this.

"Grandpa Milyre, what do you say Seth did he do?"

"Lord Roque, I'm afraid only God knows, it's terrible, it's a disaster for the manor. ”

"Yes, a monetary disaster, I don't think the manor has any outside income. ”

Roque was a little disheartened, originally these treasury should have been a mountain of wealth, which had been accumulated by the Black Thorn family for generations, but now it was so completely empty.

"Master Roque, the manor still has external income, and those five villages can provide five hundred gold coins a year. Milael replied, slightly embarrassed.

"Five hundred gold coins, that's a lot. Roque's remark was not sarcasm.

The currency of Gzwalk is divided into gold, silver, rupees, pennies, and of course, barter, one gold coin is equal to a hundred silver coins, and so on.

How much is a gold coin worth, used to buy bread for an ordinary family of three, which can be eaten for half a year, this is its value.

In the estate, rupees and pennies were used to pay for expenses, occasionally silver coins, and gold coins were used as storage, and it existed to prove its financial strength.

"Master Roque, in fact, Lord Ur has a small warehouse of his own, which I have always kept it, and I think I can hand it over to you now. Mireel said again in embarrassment.

"That's really good news, what is in my father's little warehouse with Grandpa Millaire. Roque was a little impatient.

"There are about a hundred thousand gold coins. ”

Hiss!

"Then I'm not a rich nobleman. "Roque had to get excited.

"This, sir, during the autumn harvest, you have to hand over 50,000 gold coins to the lord, and there are still some places where you need to pay gold coins, in short, the manor is still quite difficult. Mireel made a tactful expression.

"It seems that I am a poor nobleman. Roque smiled, bitterly laughing.
