The two walked and walked, and the sun went down.

Alan couldn't help but ask Gilbert beside him, "Mr. Ji, Mr. Gilbert, when will I be able to get to the Baron's mansion?" ”

"Tomorrow afternoon."

"Tomorrow!?" Alan cried out in surprise, because it was on foot, he thought it was very close.

"What's there to be surprised about?" Gilbert looked at him quizzically.

"No, no, no, don't the average baron's family use tools like a carriage?"

"Can civilians ride that kind of thing? Besides, I'm not good at horseback riding. ”

"Oh......" Alan sighed and began to miss the big lizard Bangalore, which was not as comfortable as a car, but much better than walking like this.

"Then here it is, let's get ready to sleep in the open." Gilbert came to a clearing on the side of the road and said to Alan.

Although Eru didn't want to sleep in such a place where he had nothing, even if he had objections to Gilbert's appearance, he asked Gilbert, "Do I need to do anything?" ”

"Help me collect the branches and make a bonfire, and although the weather is getting warmer, it is still very cold at night."

Alan frowned, it was said that fire could dispel some beasts and monsters, but he still couldn't help but look at Gilbert worriedly: "Will there be monsters attacking here?" ”

"It's okay, it's not offensive around here, so you don't have to worry. Even at night, slimes can move, but if we light a campfire, they usually don't come, so even if we want to attack, we can detect it immediately. ”

Alan remembered the slime's foul-smelling liquid, and couldn't help but shudder, the movement of collecting branches in his hand became faster, he didn't want to make a stink when the time came, he just happened to encounter a tree with a flame star, so he collected a lot of its branches and brought it back.

"Look, I've brought something good!" Alan happily put the branch of the Flame Star on the ground, picked up one and looked at Gilbert and said, "In this way, the fire will be lit immediately." ”

Gilbert smiled and shook his head and asked Allen, "If there wasn't one here, what would you do?" ”

Alan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"Generally, you can collect dead branches, but it's best to bring one with you when you're traveling."

After saying that, Gilbert took out a branch of the Flame Star from a bag that looked like a satchel and said to him, "So if you prepare it in advance, you won't worry." ”

"I see."

Alan scratched his head in embarrassment.

Then Gilbert took out the sun-dried jerky and a small kettle from his bag, and placed a quick stone on top of the lit bonfire, and heated the jerky and kettle on top of it, giving the impression of a frequent traveler.

Alan sat next to him and stared at the jerky as he asked Gilbert, "Do you always do things like this to contact people?" ”

"Although there are not many, there are still some, if it is an urgent matter, use cavalry, but there are few urgent things. It's already burned, so let's eat it. ”

With that, Gilbert handed over a piece of jerky to Alan.

"Thank you."

Alan smelled the fragrant smell of the burnt meat, and couldn't help but have a big appetite, and immediately took a bite, and then it was as hard as biting into a piece of jerky that had been dried for a hundred years, and the taste was too bad.

"It's too hard......" Alan couldn't help but complain to Gilbert.

"Hehe, you hurry up and bite and eat it now, it should fill your stomach."

"Uh-huh, thank you......."

Alan bit the jerky in his mouth hard, although it was still a little hard, it tasted like a beast, and the saltiness was good, and it was quite delicious overall.

After eating, Alan drank the water poured from the boiling kettle into the cup, and ate the cat's fruit, so that the dinner was over, although the amount was a little insufficient, but it was also a common thing.

Gilbert glanced at Ailu and smiled, "I'll give you serious food tomorrow, you don't have to worry." ”

"I'm looking forward to it."

"Then don't stand guard, go to sleep."

With that, Gilbert lay down on the side of the campfire and fell asleep.

Alan was lying on the other side of the campfire, feeling the clean plains around him, looking up, the starry sky was spreading, all of them were constellations that he didn't recognize, he tried to find one, there was no constellation pattern in his acquaintance, there were a lot of bright stars.

At this moment, he really felt that he was in another world.

What will happen tomorrow?

Alan fell asleep thinking about it, closed his eyes and went to sleep.

.................................

"Get up."

"Ah, okay."

Alan replied in a daze, opened his eyes, and the sky had become brighter at this time, and it was dawn.

"That's it for breakfast." As he spoke, Gilbert took out a piece of bread and tore it in half, and handed it over, a very small half.

"Don't show that expression, because I didn't expect to bring you over, so I'll just prepare breakfast for one person."

Gilbert looked at Alan's expression and shook his head helplessly

"Well, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, I finally bought it with money, but if I die, it won't be easy."

Alan swallowed the words in his mouth, and quietly ate the bread in front of him, this reason was too cruel.

Then the two of them continued on their way, and at last after noon they came to the Baron's Mansion.

"That is." Gilbert pointed to the mansion in front of him, and Alan followed his gaze.

The mansion is very large, with a gate and wall that the wild turtle family does not have, and the gate is still made of bricks, and the wall is nailed with wooden planks, which looks like a ranch. There are many timber façades on the first floor, and there is one of the largest timber buildings in the middle, which is supposed to be the baron's main house.

"Let's go." Gilbert finished speaking and walked to the walled path to the right, with Alan following closely.

Through the wooden plank, Alan saw that the courtyard was well repaired, and there were flower beds with beautiful flowers, and the whole courtyard seemed to Allen that the yard of the wild turtle was like one in the sky and one on the ground compared to here.

Gilbert did not enter through the gate, but led Alan around the back door to enter, as if the servant was not worthy of entering through the gate. At this moment, a man came out of the back door and noticed the two of them, a middle-aged man with a long beard.

"Oh, Gilbert, you're back." The intermediary looked at Alan suspiciously

"This man is a slave, and I bought a slave and came back." Gilbert explained.

"Huh? Didn't you go to the village? ”

"I bought it in the village."

"Really? I see, hard work. ”

"Hello."

Alan looked at the middle-aged man and quickly lowered his head and said hello.

"That guy is a civilian, don't worry so much, now put your luggage there and come with me, I'll take you over to show the Baron first."

"Yes."

Alan followed Gilbert with trepidation, what kind of man is Lord Baron, the owner of this house, his new owner................

The two walked in through the back door, walked down the corridor, and came to a room, where Gilbert stood at the door and knocked twice on the door of the room and said respectfully, "I'm Gilbert." ”

"Oh, it's back, come in." The voice of a man of his age came from inside.

"Yes."

Alan followed Gilbert in, and found it to be a very much office, with a large desk, where the Baron seemed to write something on parchment, and on the table there were quills and the like.

"How's it going?"

The Baron looked up at Gilbert and asked, wearing a frilly shirt and a blue sweater-like thing embroidered on it, which at a glance knew was a noble material.

Alan quietly glanced at the Baron, who looked like he was about 20 to 30 years old, had no beard, and looked very energetic, but his body was a little thin.

"Although it is difficult to sow seeds as a reason, I have already been instructed to catch up."

"Okay, then that's all done. By the way, what's going on with this teenager? The Baron looked suspiciously at Alan behind Gilbert.

"Because I think I can own it, I bought it back from the wild tortoise, Alan."

"Dear Baron, my name is Alan, and it is a great honor to have the honor to meet your honorable face."

Alan lowered his head in a panic and greeted the baron, although he didn't know the specific etiquette, but no matter how he said it, he had watched a lot of TV series, and he still understood the basic etiquette.

"Hehe, don't be like this, you're just facing Your Excellency the Prime Minister or Your Majesty, I'm not that great."

The baron smiled heartily, and Alan was secretly happy in his heart, unlike the wild tortoise, his temper seemed to be quite good, and he did not draw the whip.

"Mr. Guan, Allen is eight large copper coins."

"It's cheap."

Is it cheap? Alan thought dissatisfied.

"yes, my money ........."

"Oh, it's okay, take this one as a reward."

The baron smiled, took the bag from his bosom, and handed the money to Gilbert.

"Thank you."

"Well, you can go down."

"Yes."
