Chapter 148: Territory
In a spacious hall, as Thor and the people rushed out quickly, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.
The rich smell of blood kept coming from all around, with some low wails that made the heart palpitate.
The surrounding hall was densely strewn with corpses, nearly a hundred corpses piled up, and the smell of blood was so strong that it made people feel a little disgusting.
However, in the hall, there was nothing unusual on the faces of the people standing around, but their eyes faintly looked at Adil in the distance, with some palpitations that had not yet faded.
Standing in the center of the hall, smelling the bloody smell around him, and feeling the strange eyes coming from his surroundings, Adil didn't react.
"Are you scared?"
Standing in place, he looked at Ariel on the side and asked with a smile.
"No... Don't be afraid. There was a faint voice.
Standing behind Adil and looking at the dense corpses in the hall, Ariel was a little nervous, but she still replied.
Listening to her words and looking at the gray-robed girl in front of her, Adil nodded and did not continue to speak.
After a while, there was a faint shout from the outside world.
Thor was covered in blood, with a blood-stained sword in his hand, and walked in quickly with someone.
At this time, compared to when he went out before, there were more people behind him, and there was also some blood on his body at this time.
"Lord Adiel, I've bothered you before. ”
Walking into the hall, Thor had a murderous look in his eyes, first scanning the surroundings, and then looking at Adil in front of him and thanking him.
In front of him, listening to his words, Adil had a polite smile on his face: "It's just a small favor." ”
"It's not a small favor. ”
Saul laughed, and then said, "I still have some things to deal with here quickly, and I don't have time to entertain them for the time being." ”
"Lord Adir, you can go down and rest for a while, and then come to the banquet I have hosted for you after I have taken care of the affairs in the castle. ”
"Then I'll wait. The smile on Adier's face remained the same: "I hope the wait is not too long." ”
"Rest assured, it will be resolved soon. ”
The expression on Thor's face was a little hideous, and his eyes were a little murderous, and he faintly looked at the people waiting around him.
"Ahh
In the spacious hall, several of the guests who had been invited to the place let out a scream and were directly cut to the ground by the guards walking around.
Looking at this scene, the faces of the other guests suddenly turned pale.
"Until I settle the rebellion in the castle, please stay in the hall as well. ”
At the forefront, Thor's face was indifferent: "Otherwise, it is difficult to say what will happen to your lords." ”
With these words in mind, he left some of the men to guard here, and then walked out again with the rest.
"Lord Adiel, please come with me. ”
On the side, a black-robed guard walked up to Adil with a respectful face and spoke to him.
In this regard, Adil nodded: "Lead the way." ”
Led by the black-robed guard in front of him, Adil walked out with Ariel beside him.
················
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
During these seven days, the castle underwent a great purge.
In the face of Thor, a familiar lord, most of the escort regiment, which had been barely mastered by Sitar, remained neutral, and even some officers directly turned against the water and moved closer to Thor.
Soon, the rebellion in the castle was suppressed, and even Sitar himself was killed by Thor himself, leaving only a few people who barely escaped.
After dealing with the rebellion and regaining control of the castle, in the previous hall, Thor held another banquet and invited all the surrounding nobles to come.
At noon, the sun was very hot.
Walking on the brand-new carpet, led by a black-robed squire in front of him, Adil walked forward.
Because of his handsome appearance, which was different from the others, he attracted the attention of some people as soon as he walked into the hall.
Seeing Adier's arrival, in the hall, some people's faces suddenly turned a little pale, as if they thought of the scene a few days ago.
"That's the rumored mighty knight?"
In the corner of the hall, looking at Adiel's appearance, someone wondered: "Why are you so young?"
On the side, some nobles also showed puzzled eyes, as if they couldn't believe it.
As for Adier's performance a few days ago, it has been spread all over the time during this time, causing a wave in the castle.
Many nobles were a little skeptical about the authenticity of this news, but there were too many witnesses at that time, which made them reluctantly believe it.
At this time, looking at Adier's young appearance, the doubts in his heart suddenly rose again.
Before he had time to think about it, a voice suddenly sounded in front of him, attracting the attention of the people around him.
I saw that at the front of the hall, Thor had changed into a red dress, with a very friendly smile on his face, and he couldn't see the mighty appearance of a few days ago.
"Everyone is welcome to this banquet!"
Standing at the front, he raised his glass high, looked at the people below and smiled.
There was silence at first, and then there was a burst of applause.
Listening to the applause around him, the expression on Saul's face remained unchanged, and he seemed to be very satisfied with everyone's performance: "This time, in addition to inviting you to the banquet, I have to announce a few news. ”
"The Moore family participated in the rebellion, all the people were imprisoned, and the territory will be taken back by me. ”
Under the gaze of everyone below, Thor's face remained unchanged and he quietly said the news.
Before everyone below could react, he spoke again: "In addition, with the help of Lord Adil in this rebellion, I have decided to hand over the territory of the Moore family to Lord Adier. ”
"This..."
Below, listening to Thor's words, everyone below looked at each other.
Looking at Adier, someone's face was a little different, as if he wanted to say something, but looking at Thor in front of him, he hadn't stood up yet.
Since there is no objection, then it is agreed. ”
Looking at the reactions of the people below, Thor had a smile on his face: "Congratulations, Lord Adiel, you will be a baron from now on." ”
"Thank you, sir. Adil said with the same smile on his face, looking at him.
After announcing this, standing on the stage, Thor said something more before announcing the official start of the feast.
Looking around, Adil sat directly in the corner, closed his eyes a little bored, and went directly into a meditative state.
Ahead, Thor walked past the nobles, making bursts of conversation from time to time.
This was the main reason why he held this banquet, in addition to announcing the previous events, but also to appease these lords in the castle and reduce the impact of the previous rebellion.
It took several hours for the feast to end.
Early the next morning, accompanied by a dozen guards, Adil led Ariel slowly towards the outside of the castle.
The roadside is a desolate place, and some plants and trees are tenaciously thriving in the wild, bringing a little green.
There were some beasts shuttling around, but there were not many mutated creatures to be seen, which surprised Adil a little.
"Every day, Lord Thor sends an army to patrol the surroundings to deal with the dangers around the castle. ”
Seeing Adier's expression, as if he understood his doubts, the black-robed guard who led the team on the side explained: "If you are far away from the castle, it will become the same as in the wild. ”
Listening to his words, Adil nodded in understanding.
At noon the next day, they came to the outside of a manor.
Because of the dangers in the wilderness of this world, the manor in front of me has many defenses, not only fences but also high walls, which are enough to resist the attacks of some ordinary mutant monsters.
Ahead, there were already a few people waiting at this point.
It was an old man with a wrinkled face, and the red linen robe on his body looked a little shabby, and he walked forward with a respectful face.
Behind the old man, several middle-aged and young people also followed him, looking somewhat similar, they should be of the same race.
"Sid, this is Baron Adier, the future lord of this land. ”
Looking at the old man in front of him, the black-robed guard rode a horse and introduced him with a flat face.
"Lord Baron..."
Listening to the words of the black-robed guard, the old man standing in front of him hurriedly spoke to Adiel.
After seeing Adier, several people behind him also quickly walked forward and looked at Adil respectfully.
"Lord Adil, do you need to stay with these guards?"
After a while, looking at Adil on the side, the black-robed guard asked with a respectful face: "It's already very close to the wild here, and there are often some mutated monsters in normal times, although with Lord Adier, there will be no problems with your strength, but some small things still need someone to help deal with after all." ”
"That's what Lord Thor wants. ”
He looked at Adil and said with a respectful face.
"Then stay. Listening to his words, Adil nodded.
After saying these things, they entered the manor in front of them, led by Sid in front.
The manor was a bit messy, with some dried blood stains that hadn't been completely cleaned up, and they walked around.
Some of the servants had settled in it, and all of them had been called out by Sid to welcome the new master.
"Lord Baron, there are more than a hundred families in the manor, and almost five hundred people live in them, all of whom belong to the private slaves in the manor, you can arrange it yourself. ”
Standing in front of Adil, Sid looked respectful: "If you want, you can also expel these people." ”
Listening to his words, the faces of several servants who came out to greet him suddenly turned pale, as if they were frightened by his words.
"How many people are there other than this manor?"
Standing still, listening to Sid's words in front of him, Adil asked rhetorically.
"This..."
Listening to Adier's question, a cold sweat suddenly broke out on Sid's face: "Lord Baron, in addition to this manor, you also have fiefs of five villages, with a population of about a thousand. ”
