Chapter 107: Punishment
Castle Black, Inner Chamber. Wen Ying was dressed in a camel-yellow coarse cloth robe, she was packing up, preparing to leave the Black Castle and go to the Walker Camp in the Plexi Grassland, the closest to the Black Castle.
Except for a white handkerchief embroidered with a maze diagram and a few coarse cloth robes, Wen Ying had no other salutes to bring. She had wanted to take the delicate little magic mirror with her, but the thought of opening the magic mirror seal required calling the name of Grand Duke Ivan made her disgusted and put down the magic mirror in her hand. And the small rectangular wooden box, she considered letting the fungus help keep it.
"Wen Ying's chamberlainβ" Xiao Luo's voice was a little hesitant: "Wait a while, Butler Mubai will come, do you want to ask Butler Mubai to help me intercede, Grand Duke Ivan originally favored you like thisβ"
"Where's the little golden dragon?" Wen Ying interrupted. Thinking of going to be a slave, Wen Ying was not afraid in her heart, but more humiliation. But she would rather endure this humiliation than beg for mercy from Grand Duke Ivan. She tried her best to calm herself.
Seeing that Wen Ying answered the question, Xiao Luo had no choice but to say: "Steward Mubai said that Grand Duke Ivan ordered Xiao Jinlong to stay in Black Castle. β
Wen Ying couldn't help but feel angry in her heart, and said, "The little golden dragon is mineβ"
"Hmph-" Xiao Lu snorted lightly, and she said unhappily, "What if the little golden dragon is yours?" You are the slave of Grand Duke Ivan, not to mention the little golden dragon, even you, are the property of Grand Duke Ivan. β
Knowing that Wen Ying would be sent to the Walker Camp as an internal attendant, Xiao Lu's attitude also became displeased, and even disdainful. Wen Ying was favored by Grand Duke Ivan and became a chamberlain, and Xiao Lu and Xiao Luo were selected by Mu Bai's housekeeper to serve Wen Ying. Now that Wen Ying has been demoted to a slave, Xiao Lu and Xiao Luo naturally want to go back to the kitchen to do those heavy jobs. Looking at Wen Ying, Xiao Lu complained in her heart: "This stupid woman, even if she is a slave herself, she will ruin my good life." β
Seeing that Wen Ying was silent, Xiao Lu said disdainfully: "I was punished to go to the Walker Camp to be a slaveβ" Xiao Lu's tone in the second half of the sentence became respectful: "Butler Mubai." β
It turned out that the Mu Bai butler had arrived. He was followed by a person, who was the fungus.
Butler Mu Bai just nodded slightly, but did not answer. He walked up to Wen Ying and said with a pleasant face: "This is what you have gained from serving as an attendant in Castle Black during these days. β
Mu Er, who was following behind Mu Bai's butler, stepped forward, put a small cloth bag in front of Wen Ying, and handed Wen Ying a piece of parchment. With Mu Bai's housekeeper there, Mu Er naturally didn't dare to speak casually, his slender purple pupils and eyes looked at Wen Ying worriedly.
Wen Ying took the parchment, which was a record of Wen Ying's income. Wen Ying couldn't help but show a wry smile, she had been serving as a servant for three days, and she had a lot of income.
The coins in circulation in the Kingdom of Heaven are divided into six categories: copper, silver, gold, amethyst, opal, and tourmaline. Copper, silver, and gold coins are metal coins, and amethyst gold, opal, and tourmaline coins are gemstone coins. Gem coins are more valuable than metal coins. Copper coins have the least value and tourmaline coins have the highest value.
One hundred copper coins, equivalent to one silver coin. And so on. One day in office, you can get ten gold coins.
Mu Bai's housekeeper said: "When you arrive at the Walker Camp, you have gold and silver coins on you, which is always good." Wen Ying naturally heard the sound outside the strings, "Money can make ghosts grind", which is really a universal truth.

Wen Ying looked at the walker camp in front of her. Through the brown wooden fence about two people high, the Ranger Battalion could not see the edge. Wen Ying didn't know that these wooden fences looked ordinary, but they were actually wooden fences that were spelled, and ordinary people couldn't enter and leave the Walker Camp without the token of the Walker Camp. Not far from the fence, to the west, are brown houses, and to the east, are earthy yellow houses.
A slightly chubby middle-aged Terran woman was already waiting at the door, which was only a side gate of the Walker Camp. She curtsied to the cypress butler.
Butler Mu Bai said unhurriedly: "It's the person of Grand Duke Ivan, and it's good to be treated." β
"Of course." The middle-aged Terran woman hurriedly nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
Mu Er left and stuffed something into Wen Ying's hand, which was a magic mirror the size of a round palm, and whispered: "Recite your name to open the magic mirror seal." β
Wen Ying glanced at the fungus gratefully: "Thank you." β
Wen Ying curtsied at Butler Mubai and said softly, "Wen Ying thank Butler Mubai for taking care of him these days. β
"It's good to do it yourself." Butler Mu Bai said with a gentle face.
Wen Ying followed the middle-aged Terran woman towards the earthy yellow house to the east.
Looking at Wen Ying's back, Mu Bai's housekeeper thought to himself: "Grand Duke Ivan is really uncertain, he still loved Wen Ying like this yesterday, and he will be sent to the Walker Camp today." The carriage to the Dark Isle has also been canceled. It seems that he originally planned to take Wen Ying to the Dark Island this morning. He was even more puzzled in his heart: "Why did Grand Duke Ivan take Wen Ying to the Dark Island?" β
"How did you anger Grand Duke Ivan last night? Now that you are being punished like this, I don't know if you will be able to endure it. Mu Er looked at Wen Ying's back and shook his head.
Each earthy yellow house is made of yellow bricks, with wooden windows and doors, and has six floors with twenty rooms on each floor. Wen Ying looked at it, such houses, row by row, row by column, and I don't know how many there were.
Walking to one of the houses, the middle-aged woman said, "Here, your room is room No. 403 on the fourth floor, and the door has a house number." β
"Thank you." Wen Ying said, she took out a silver coin from the pocket of her robe and put it in the middle-aged woman's hand.
"Just call me Sister Gui." The middle-aged woman smiled happily, she stepped forward, and said in a low voice in Wen Ying's ear: "Wait for Lord Mu Tao, who is in charge of the inner slave, to come to your room, if she asks you to pick the laundry, kitchen or tea, you can just say that everything is arranged by the adults." β
Wen Ying pushed open the door and looked at the room. The room is not big, that is, more than ten square meters, except for a large bed against the wall that takes up half of the area of the room, a brown double-door wooden wardrobe, a small brown round table, and two stools of the same color, there are no other furnishings.
Wen Ying threw her baggage on the bed when she saw two women stepping into the room. The leader was a woman, about fifty years old, with a thin face, brown hair combed into a round bun at the back of her head, and a pair of purple eyes, her eyes sharp. It is estimated that it is the Lord Mu Tao that Sister Gui said.
Behind her, it was the Sister Gui just now.
Wen Ying hurriedly got up, curtsied, lowered her head, and whispered, "Wen Ying greets your lord." β
"Hmm. Raise your head and speak. Master Mu Tao's voice was a little hoarse, and she glanced at the silver bracelet on Wen Ying's right wrist, "Butler Mu Bai has already explained, since he is a person from Grand Duke Ivan, then be a high-level inner slave, and you don't have to start from the lowest." β
"Thank you for your attention." Wen Ying said softly, and couldn't help but feel a trace of gratitude to Butler Mubai.
Mu Tao said: "You have half a day every day to do other work." Laundry, kitchen, serving tea, you choose the same. β
"Everything is at your command." Wen Ying said.
"Hmm." Lord Mu Tao snorted in a nasal voice, and seemed to be very satisfied with Wen Ying's answer, and said, "Then serve tea." The rest of the things, Sister Gui will explain to you in detail. β
Wen Ying curtsied again, "Thank you for your attention." β
After Lord Mu Tao left, Sister Gui carefully explained to Wen Ying the "work content" of the inner slave.
The time of the Inner Nu is divided into four periods of six days each. High-level inner slaves only need to serve five walkers in one period, and about half a day in another period, and have to do other work. Other inner slaves have to work two or three periods a day, and the number of servants will vary according to different ranks.
Wen Ying listened to it, only to feel that the hairs on her body stood up.
It was about the role of that silver coin, and Sister Gui also carefully informed Wen Ying of some details and things to pay attention to when serving tea.
Sister Gui asked, "You can choose tomorrow's work time now." β
Wen Ying was stunned for a moment and said, "Then serve tea in the morning, and the first time in the evening." β
When Sister Gui left, Wen Ying took another silver coin to Sister Gui, and also took a small cloth bag with ten gold coins in it, and asked Sister Gui to give it to Lord Mutao.
Sister Gui naturally understood, weighed the small cloth bag in her hand, and said with a smile: "I will report to Lord Mu Tao, just say that you arrive on the first day today, and your body is a little uncomfortable, and you will rest for one more day tomorrow, and start working the day after tomorrow - presumably Lord Mu Tao will also agree." β
"Take care of Sister Gui more." Wen Ying squeezed out a smile and said.
"The wooden fences around the Walker Camp seem ordinary, but they are actually wooden fences that have been spelled, and ordinary people can't enter and leave the Walker Camp without the token of the Walker Camp." Sister Gui walked out of the room and turned back and said, "Neinu left the walker camp without permission, and the punishment was extremely severe. β
Wen Ying was stunned for a moment and said, "Thank you Sister Gui for reminding me." β
