Chapter 825: Borrow a Way
Charles stood in a private room on the top floor of the South Sea Farm Cafe and watched through the window as Freya instructed the farm workers to throw slimes on the ground with blackened blood and some debris that hadn't been cleaned up.
Not long after the bodies of the rioters on the ground were removed, the island's judicial department had just finished its investigation and evidence collection.
Recently, the courts in Knowledge City have been busy.
A while ago, a lawsuit caused by medical malpractice lasted for several days.
The plaintiff's mother suddenly fell seriously ill, and the defendant came to the door and said that he had a special medicine, but the plaintiff's mother died after taking the medicine due to antibiotic allergy.
The defendant ran away, and the plaintiff chased him to the island, where the two were knocked unconscious by Charles in the backyard of Diana's house.
Because the place where the crime occurred was Diana's house, she was called by the court yesterday to go through the procedure for consultation, so she only learned after leaving the courtroom that there had been a riot of 1,000 people not long ago.
Charles continued to work as always, Flicka was urging the judiciary to investigate the matter, and Ida was given the task of being in charge of air transportation because she could fly on a broomstick.
This afternoon, Diana was still on duty at the beach as usual, but Charles there was a disguised eggplant disguise, sitting in the pumpkin house.
Yesterday's bizarre riot was a wake-up call for Charles, who decided not to reveal his identity for a short time.
At present, the safety of Nanhai Farm and the two transport planes that have just landed outside the gate of the farm is in the responsibility of Donna, Skati and Rog, and the work of arranging personnel is entrusted to Sybil.
The wind direction just now changed abruptly, and the north wind that had been blowing for a few days suddenly turned into a south wind, and several boxes of materials dropped during the test airdrop drifted to the commercial area.
Now Ada and a few crew members went to retrieve the boxes and send the supplies out to spread the word about the upcoming air transport.
Some of the members who arrived on the same plane had other tasks, and Novikov, the deputy commander of the operation, arrived at Nanhai Farm with a capable team, where they were to establish a front-line headquarters.
Also arriving on the same plane was Charles' butler, Ah Fu, who was taken aback when Sybil took him to the top floor of the café.
"Sir. Ah Fu took out a roll of parchment from the briefcase he was carrying with him and handed it over, "This is a handwritten letter from the Marquis Hermanlich to you. ”
Charles took the letter from the neighbor's bear-like marquis and asked curiously, "Did something happen?"
Ah Fu's expression was a little helpless, and he said: "It's all caused by those people drinking and bragging." ”
Charles sat on the couch, opened the parchment and began to read carefully.
The handwriting on the parchment paper was as neat as the printed, and most people would not have imagined that this bear-like strong man could write a hand that was neater than the printed hand. When Charles was just becoming literate, the template for practicing calligraphy was written by Grandpa Ru to the Marquis of Herman Rick.
The Marquis Hermanlik did not say anything in the letter, but began by saying that he had drunk and bragged after a fight with the group of orcs who had helped Charles guard the vegetable greenhouse, and that his cavalry was no worse than the wolf cavalry of the orcs.
The orcs, of course, booed.
The two sides don't know how to pull it off, and in the end, the two sides decide to have a long-distance race on the prairie.
Marquis Hermanlik set out from Corn City with his cavalry and the wolf cavalry of the orcs, first westward to the westernmost city, then to the easternmost city, and finally back to Corn City.
This kind of long-distance attack naturally has to bring weapons, otherwise it will be a delivery to the Warcraft. Excellent reading books
Moreover, the Marquis Hermanlik and his cavalry had to pass through Charles's territory to get to Corn City, and the heavily armed aristocratic army needed the permission of the other party to pass through the territory of other nobles, so the Marquis Hermanlik wrote a letter to Charles to go through the border crossing procedures.
Charles frowned and read the letter five times, then went to his desk and wrote a letter that would pass as long as the Marquis Hermanric's party had put all their weapons in the crates and paid enough taxes.
These two requirements are decent, and belong to the regular operation among the nobles.
On the surface, Charles couldn't find a reason to refuse, the large-scale war between humans and orcs had been over for many years, and now only some orc outlaws would go south to harass humans, and the superiority of the cavalry on both sides was a topic of endless debate among many parchment military experts.
Now the Marquis Hermanlik and the orcs are holding a cavalry rally, which is very popular with all parties.
It's just that his intuition tells Charles that there may be some other factor behind this.
He quickly wrote the letter, and then stamped the ring on the fire paint at the end.
This kind of decision can only be made by him, and Aunt Coriander or Ah Fu cannot overstep their authority.
After handing the letter to Ah Fu, Charles asked, "How is the handover of the family business?"
At that time, he handed over the affairs of the family business to five trustees, and the contract was signed for ten years, and it will expire next year, when his family's business will be fully recovered.
Now the family business is coriander in management, with Ah Fuk assisting.
It's just that Ah Fu was embarrassed when he heard Charles's question, and he said: "Ms. Coriander said that she was annoyed by this job and wanted to go home. ”
Charles was stunned, Aunt Coriander wants to go back to Abyss City?
He thought for a moment and said, "I'll go home on a trip to the New Year, and I'll arrange it when the time comes." ”
Ah Fu's eyes lit up, except for a few years ago, Charles had not been back for nine years, and his return this time had a different meaning.

The road outside Nanhai Farm has been built into an east-west runway for the transport planes to land, and many people are now surrounding the two transport planes.
The transport plane circled around the island before landing, and many people at first thought it was a dragon flight, but soon found out that it was a big guy who could fly without a dragon.
As time passed, more and more people rushed to Nanhai Farm to watch the excitement. If it weren't for the fact that Skaty saw that something was wrong and immediately built a wall of ice, those who were curious would have climbed up to find out.
When the time for the return flight came, the transport plane had to take off before the strong winds blew again.
On the return trip, it was much lighter, and Ah Fu, who was sitting inside, felt that the plane didn't run much this time and began to climb up.
Skati was surrounded, and many wondered when the winged machines would bring in more food.
She can only tell everyone that there will be more grain coming over, and it will be sold to everyone at a price that is usually one percent higher, after all, the freight is not cheap, but the safety of Nanhai Farm is not guaranteed, and the boss does not dare to pull more grain over.
