Chapter 21: Arrival at Searsburg
According to the plan, Luther led the soldiers into the Sears territory in batches at night.
Although everyone didn't quite understand why the Count had to do this when he entered his own territory, he still put a cloth coat on his body and put his sword on the carriage.
In order to minimize the movement, the butler Sass did not go to greet Luther, but was busy with various things, and did not take the time to meet Luther until Luther returned to the castle.
"It's great that you can come back smoothly Young master, there are currently more than 100 crossbows, but although the shooting distance of this thing is a little farther than ordinary bows and arrows, it is still not as good as a longbow, but the lethality is indeed very large.
I tested the old armor in the castle, and the arrows could penetrate it very easily. ”
The butler also looked happy when he said it, which made Luther a little proud, after all, the biggest advantage of this thing is that it is lethal, and in addition to that, it is cheap and easy to use.
However, when the butler said about the test, Luther was stunned for a moment, and then raised his hand and asked suspiciously: "Sas, in order to confirm, I think you should not use that rusty thing to do the test, right?"
"Young master, that's what I use, after all, it's too distressing to use a new one. ”
"Oh, hoops. "That's what I used to collect, young master, I didn't expect to be used as a target, but I still spent two silver coins to collect it, in order to use it for modification and sell it as a handicraft to the wronged boss.
I didn't expect it to be destroyed by the steward, but if the steward knew that he had just bought such a thing for two silver coins not long after, he would probably be angry, but at that time Luther did ask the farmer where he dug it up, after all, it was a bit old, and it didn't look like a modern one.
"What's the matter, young master, is there any other use for my tattered?
But I asked the servants, and they said you got it back and kept it there. ”
As he spoke, the butler pointed to a corner of the castle hall, where the tattered armor was still there, but it could no longer be called armor, it was all broken into pieces, so that Luther could not bear to look at it.
"No, no, it's good to use, butler, you really save money.
By the way, butler, I brought back a magician, but ......"
Luther, who endured the heartache and squeezed out a smile, hurriedly changed the topic and told the matter of Irina, after all, there were many things he still wanted to ask the old butler.
Sass listened attentively, showing no surprise, and told him that although the soothsayers did not know where to find it, it still existed.
According to his guess, Irina may be of mixed blood, maybe she has barbarian blood that is why she has such a big appetite, and Luther is very unconvinced of this, barbarians are not all stupid and black, so how can a petite girl have barbarian blood.
"I don't know about this, young master, but anything can happen on the road, so it's not strange.
I also heard that there was a goblin in the east who had become a merchant and hired a dozen or so guards.
I think such a ridiculous thing can happen, and eating a little more is nothing. ”
Goblin merchant, is it just one of those filthy and greedy little dwarfs?
"Young master, I see that the soldiers you brought are generally good, the Santos family is so generous, with these 500 soldiers, it is mostly certain this time. ”
At this time, the housekeeper called the servant and gave a few instructions in her ear to prepare food and water, because she only cared about talking to the young master just now and forgot that the young master had just come back from the road.
Luther was really very satisfied with this old butler, not only could do things but also knew how to take care of people, and he felt hungry when he spoke just now, but he had been talking about things without having time to speak.
At this time, the soldiers patrolling the castle hurried in, and as soon as they met, they said, "Lord Count, Miss Irina you brought with you is losing her temper and saying that you did not give her food.
Now I am saying that I want to see you at the door. ”
"Damn. Luther's blurted out a phrase that made the soldier look up cautiously, not understanding what the Count meant.
Luther glanced at the butler Sass and said, "Let the back kitchen put more air-dried meat in the amount of 5 people." ”
The corner of the housekeeper's mouth twitched, he knew that the young master hated eating air-dried meat the most, because the young master said that it was the same as zombie meat, and now let me put more cheap air-dried meat for the girl named Irina.
After Luther finished speaking, he waved his hand at the soldier and said helplessly: "Let her in, alas...... When she came in just now, she forgot to ask someone to get her dinner. ”
Luther took Irina, the second goods, and didn't follow him after he came in, I don't know where he was pulled down by the truck, and the most powerful thing is that he didn't eat with the soldiers, I'm afraid I really think that the earl I have something delicious here, right?
Just when the butler went to the back kitchen to order more to do, a thin figure flashed into the living room, and the speed made Luther's eyes glaze out, and he saw that the other party was walking towards him step by step, and looked curiously at the decoration in the castle.
"Why didn't you follow me?"
"You didn't say it, I thought you had other arrangements. ”
Luther looked at the other party's innocent and winked big eyes, he felt that he really looked too high on the other party's IQ, after all, a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, no matter how strong her strength was.
It's not so much that the other party is because of the young Luther, but that Irina is just a little stupid, or is it better to be stupid?
The old man in the black butler's uniform was stunned when he saw a ragged and dirty man standing in the castle, and then a feeling of danger appeared that made him feel dangerous, and the hairs on his body stood on end, and it took a few seconds for this feeling to slowly subside.
At this time, Luther called the servant who was next to him to add water: "Take this girl to change and wash it, and you can just look at the clothes and get one." ”
The philistine looked at Irina and then was a little puzzled: "Lord Earl, there should be no suitable clothes in the castle, our clothes are too big. ”
"Then go to the bazaar and buy one, forget it, buy more, and Sass will give her a silver coin. ”
Watching Irina being taken away, Luther rubbed his temples, feeling that he had become a nanny, is there really a retribution? I was lying in bed and being taken care of for the rest of my last life, and I was destined to take care of people in this life?
"Young Master, this, this Miss Irina...... It's unique. The butler looked for a long time before using a unique word to describe it, but he didn't know how to say it.
But what the other party said afterwards surprised Luther.
"But young master, although this Miss Irina is very special, it makes me feel dangerous.
There are two possibilities, one is that the other party is hiding its strength, and the other is that the potential of the other party is too huge, either of which is a good thing for you now, after all, I think Miss Irina should have no malicious intent. ”
