Carolan took Penny to visit Oak Village in the company of the Bard steward, the whole Oak Village is actually just a residential settlement with a mill as the core, although the population is quite large, but because the surrounding land is either a forest or a river wetland, so even if the Klose family is a rare low-tax lord in this era, most of the population of the entire Oak Village is still in a state of struggling to make ends meet. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 It's no wonder that after getting Kao, the muse still used his ability to poach in the forest, knowing that he would anger the lord. Hunger has been one of humanity's greatest enemies since ancient times.

Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine the reaction of the entire Oak Village to hear the conscription order announced by Carolan, the tax is halved and the labor is exempted, which means that as long as someone in the family successfully joins the Klose family's army, then the family not only does not need to worry about hunger this year, but can also save some surplus food for some small business. As a result, the Steward of Bard was soon surrounded by the people of the village.

"How? Interested in joining our family's army? Carolan asked with a smile as she looked at the muse, the answer was obvious, the blazing fire in the muse's eyes already said his mood. Soon, however, the muse seemed to think of something, and the strong impulse in his eyes subsided, and he lowered his head and did not say a word for a long time.

"I... I don't have much strength ... And my father is getting older... The Muse hesitated for a long time before he spitted out his concerns under the pressure of Caroline's compelling gaze.

"I heard Bard say that you and your sister are literate?" Caroline laughed when she heard this reason, how could the little prey he had taken a fancy to run away.

"Yes. My father gave us some. The Muse straightened his chest when he heard Carolan ask, this was the knowledge inherited from their noble lineage.

"That's fine, I lack a literate attendant by my side, after you leave, I can also arrange for your sister to go to Jinghu Manor to be the female official next to this lady, with the salary of the two of you, even if your father doesn't work, you can support your family." Carolan smiled and threw out the temptation that the muse couldn't refuse, in fact, the salary or anything was secondary. What Carolan really came up with to tempt the muses was actually an opportunity, a chance to break away from the commoner class and rise to the aristocratic class, a chance to give the muses a chance to restore the glory of their ancestors. Caroline, who had gathered enough information from all sides, believed that the Luyats family would never be able to refuse.

As for the weird and mysterious Klevey? Carolan had never been worried since she learned that Luyats's family were truly devout Catholics, and that there were no religious double agents in this era, and people in these days believed that God was watching the world in the endless sky.

“。 Really?。。。。。 I... I'll have to go back and talk to my father. After hearing Caroline's words, the flame extinguished in the muse's eyes burned again, and in a moment of excitement, the muse said extremely rude questioning words, but soon the muse reacted: Caroline didn't need to lie to him, because he was not qualified to be deceived by Caroline.

"Go ahead, decide in three days to tell Bard and let him bring you to me." Carolan smiled, not caring about the slightest rudeness as a futuristic person, and waved her hand away to let go of Muse, his sister, and Kao's big bear.

"Caroline, do you value this guy?" Penny had been quietly watching the conversation between Carolan and Muse without interjecting until Muse had left.

"It's okay~ It's just that I do lack a literate attendant, this guy is very interesting, so I brought it to my side and used it." Carolan smiled indifferently, for now, the muse is just a suitable toy, and if she has to come to pull him as her squire, in addition to a whim, it is actually more of a collector's habit.

"Alright then, I'm a little tired, let's go back." Penny smiled, and didn't think it was strange, aren't all aristocrats like this in these years, Carolan is actually very good. However, it is obvious that Caroline's words make Penny a little uncomfortable, especially since Penny, who has been entangled in all things lately, has become more sensitive to this aristocratic sense of superiority, and casually makes an excuse and does not want to discuss the topic further.

"Okay." Caroline answered, pulled the reins closer and turned the mount around, then motioned to Robert that he was ready to go back to Mirror Lake.

In fact, Caroline said that on purpose, firstly, he really didn't want Penny to pay too much attention to the Muse, and secondly, he also reminded Penny that she was actually a nobleman, and it was not a good thing to keep a commoner's heart too much. Especially Penny's current identity, if she can't keep up with her mentality, something big will happen, the royal family has not had a good relationship since ancient times, as long as Penny makes a little mistake, then some people are scrambling to push Penny into hell.

When she returned to the Klose family manor from the Mirror Lake Manor, it was already past noon, and Caroline was extremely miserable and did not catch the Klose family's lunch. But Caroline was also embarrassed to let the kitchen make an extra one for herself, after all, the Klose family added an extra lunch because they wanted to replenish the physical strength consumed after a lot of training, and Caroline also asked others to make an extra portion, just because she was hungry and wanted to eat, Caroline felt that she was not so thick-skinned.

"Hmm,,, why hasn't dinner time arrived yet... Caroline was a little hungry and irritable and rolled on her bed, she was really hungry, in the morning in front of Penny in order to pretend to be X, Caroline shot a lot of arrows to show her archery skills, which made Carolan's physical consumption actually very strong, no, now she will suffer retribution.

"Hmph~ Why do you look so miserable." When Carolan was hungry and began to doubt her life, Rudolph went into Caroline's room and threw a loaf of bread to Caroline.

"Wow, Rudolph, you are really my good brother, I love you to death." Caroline couldn't take any care of the smell of the white bread, and whimpered as she nibbled on the bread and thanked Rudolph for saving her life.

"Wow, saved, Rudolph, how do you know I'm hungry." Caroline gnawed for a while before she felt alive, and then she asked how Rudolph knew how he was so embarrassed.

"Hmph, the rumor that the second young master of the Klose family is a foodie has long been spread throughout Memleben, and Elise saw Lisa hesitating at the kitchen door, and reminded me to bring this when I came to you." Rudolph clasped his hands to his chest, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was full of mockery.

"Well, in the future, multiple gluttonous Carolan's nicknames will also be good." Carolan didn't care what Rudolph meant, he didn't care about this kind of reputation, anyway, even if he didn't have this shortcoming, those political enemies would change their tricks and take turns with the Black Crozet family. "Tell me, what are you looking for me?"

"Father told you to bathe and fast from today, and in seven days we will be responsible for escorting Elise to the city of Hamburg, and after sending her away, we will take the royal army stationed in Hamburg directly through the Holstein region to Lübeck, our task is to cut off all communication between Lübeck and Blanniber after the main force of the expeditionary force has departed from Memleben, and then wait for the next instructions." Rudolph's sudden look made Carolan, who was joking with Rudolph, startled, and then Rudolph finished the above words in one breath in a serious tone, and then stared at Caroline quietly.

“！ Be! Carolan's first reaction after listening to Rudolph's words was to throw away the bread in her hand, bounce off the bed, and answer loudly.

It has to be said that Herman's strict requirements for Carolan in this regard have achieved the desired effect, at least at this moment, Carolan initially has the basic qualities of a military commander: extreme sensitivity and rigor to military orders.

"Okay, it's not an official notice, I'm just telling you to hurry up and deal with your mess, and then gather the guards and get ready to go. The official order will be duly communicated to us by Conrad I, Duke of Swabia the Wrangler, after we escort Elise out of the city of Memleburn seven days later. Rudolph waved his hand, as if he was in a hurry, and left Carolan's room without waiting for Carolan to say something.

In fact, all the kingdoms of this era did not have such a government, and all of them were governed by the ruler's court personnel, so the personnel composition and functional institutions of each court were very different, and the names of court positions sounded very joyful because they were all symbolically named according to the ancient tradition. For example, the Wrangler just mentioned is actually the highest title of the commander of the East Frankish king, and Herman also has this title. The drinker refers to the chief of affairs of the royal house, and so on.

"Lübeck... It seems that the ambitions of the Lübecks were not small, and by funding the Slavs of the Blanibel region, did they balance the rule of the East Franconian kingdom over Lübeck? Good means, no wonder such a prosperous city on the shores of the Baltic Sea not only did not suffer from the plundering of the Slavs, but also did not worry about the looting of the Vikings, it seems that where the water is very deep... After Carolan saw Rudolph leave, she began to analyze the information that Rudolph had just revealed, and it seemed that the first target that Henry was going to attack was this Lübeck City.

"But if Lübeck is really the back-up of the Brannie Bell region, then Rudolph and I have a big deal... Carolan, who had closed her eyes and thought about it a lot, said to herself for a long time, and she didn't know why there were three words in Carolan's head just now: Harald.

Caroline had a strong premonition that this time they were bound to have the most tragic conflict with one of the Klose family's greatest enemies!
