Chapter Twenty-Five: The Stubborn Boy (Part II)
Soon, Mauss and Obotov divided the group among the men, leaving fifty men to build temporary shelters and the city guards to supervise the travel.
The war for the construction of the Rio estate was officially underway, and everyone was working hard, and Maus noticed that even the children were working along, and it was obvious that they were working hard.
In Maus's understanding, shelter is very important, and he doesn't plan to go back when he arrives at the Rio estate, so he must stay here tonight.
The temporary shelter was relatively simple, and at the pace of those men, it could be completed before dark, much to Mauss's slight satisfaction.
Crunchy.
In the evening, Betty and Busso finally arrived at the Rio Estate, and she saw the people who were busy in the distance, and with the desire to see the adult, she continued to grit her teeth and insist on walking forward.
"Hey, hey, stop, what are you doing, this is a private place, don't you see what you're doing, get out of here." A city guard spotted Betty and hurried forward to block her path.
"Are you looking for someone to work for?"
Betty stopped and asked nervously, clutching the plank tightly in her hands, the indifference of the city guards terrified her.
"It's full, besides, you can't do this job, half-dead, hurry up. The city guard urged impatiently.
Listening to the other party's words, Betty felt that her body instantly lost strength, she slowly turned around and burst into tears, and walked with Busso for a short distance, and then she couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the side of the road.
"Damn it. When the city guard saw this, he cursed in his mouth, and then walked away without paying attention.
At the manor, Obotov and the head of the transport team approached Mus, and after friendly negotiations between the two sides, an agreement was finalized.
Mauss paid three hundred gold coins, and the transport team was responsible for transporting the cleaned waste, a number that was enough for him to worry about for a long time.
"Big Brother Aobo, I need to go to the bread workshop. ”
"Okay, you can go, I'm here, no problem. ”
After leaving the manor, Mauss let out a long breath, and was in a bad mood to spend so many gold coins at once, and then he noticed a little girl sitting on the side of the road, and a little boy lying on the plank in front of her.
As if sensing that someone was looking at her, Betty reluctantly looked up at Maus, and she suddenly became nervous, because the other party had already walked over, and the image of those teenagers beating herself flashed in her mind.
Mauss stood in front of Betty, his eyes falling on Busso, his legs, to be exact.
"Please don't hurt my brother. Seeing that the other party had been staring at her brother, Betty pleaded in a low voice.
"I don't see that you still have the strength to speak, don't worry, I won't hurt him, I want to ask you something?" asked Mauss, crouching down and in a consultative tone.
"How did your brother end up like this, I mean his legs. As he spoke, Maus couldn't help but touch it with his hand.
"What the hell are you trying to do! Don't touch my brother. Betty's face showed anger, she and her brother were already very bitter, and they didn't expect others to bully.
"I can see that you are a good sister, by the way, I am the new owner of the Rio manor, you can rest assured, I will not hurt your brother, I am just curious. ”
Mauss stood up, a rare occurrence in which he would explain himself to a strange girl.
"You, are you the adult?" Betty couldn't believe that the young man in front of her was the owner of the manor that the others said, and what was even more unacceptable was that the other party was standing in front of her now.
"Surprisingly, my manor is being rebuilt, and it won't be completed so soon, so you'd better not get excited, or your body won't be able to support it. ”
It could be seen that the girl was very weak, and Maus kindly reminded her.
"Please, please, please, save my brother, he's dying, please, please. ”
Betty apparently didn't listen to Maus's words, and kowtowed desperately to the other party, she felt that this was her only chance.
"Yes. ”
"My lord, do you really mean to save my brother?" Betty stared at Maus, afraid she had misheard.
Maus nodded.
"I tried my best, but I can't guarantee it. ”
"Thank you, sir, it's great, my brother is saved. Betty only felt that it was dark in front of her, and she lost consciousness in an instant.
Maus stood without saying a word, ignoring the unconscious Betty and his eyes fell on Busso's legs, a strange smile on his face.
"It's a strange discovery that the magic element actually has an autonomous consciousness, and I will study it well. ”
Obviously, Busso's legs were an eye-opener for Maus, which was the real reason why he agreed to Betty's request, but what did it matter, at least the survival of the struggling sibling was temporarily guaranteed.
"Mr. Maus, what are your orders? A city guard came up behind him and asked respectfully.
"Take care of them for me. ”
"Mr. Maus, please rest assured. ”
After seeing them leave, the city guards called their companions, and together they took Betty and her brother and sister away.
In the bakery, Vado had no intention of working, and had been waiting for Maus, and after all this time, he began to feel a little anxious, wondering if he had been deceived.
"No, he's the new owner of the Rio estate, and there must be something delayed. ”
The cranky Wado desperately explained to himself that the other party would definitely come.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. ”
Mus, who had come to the bread workshop, took a loaf of bread and walked straight to Vadow, who was anxiously waiting.
"Ah, Mr. Maus, you are finally here, is everything going well in the afternoon?"
Seeing each other, Wado's face showed joy, and he could finally rest assured, and he hurriedly greeted him.
After a few small talks, the two sat down, and of course, Vado brought Maus a good cup of coffee.
"There are more than 300 people working on my estate, and more than 50 city guards, can you provide them with the bread they need?"
Maus asked bluntly, he wasn't in a hurry to get his coffee.
"Of course, what kind of bread do you need, Mr. Maus?" asked Vado, cautiously with a hint of strangeness in his eyes.
"What's the cheapest bread here?" said Mauss calmly, then picked up his coffee.
"The cheapest is brown bread. Vado's face changed slightly, he didn't expect the other party to want this kind of bread.
"Which one it is, I'll see. ”
"Okay, wait a minute. Wado hurriedly got up to get the sample.
"It's quite a generous amount. ”
Maus took a black loaf of bread and looked at it carefully, it was about the size of a white radish, and it was hard enough to be a piece of dough.
"Yes, it's just not very tasty, but it's perfect for filling your stomach. Vado answered.
"Okay, I want three hundred and fifty copies of this, give me a reasonable price. Mauss placed the brown bread on the glass table and made a decision.
"Mr. Maus, I will give you the lowest price, three copper coins for a black loaf, and three hundred and fifty is one thousand and fifty, what do you think? Vado asked in a consultative tone.
Maus shook his head expressionlessly, and he held out a finger slightly.
"A gold coin, that's what I can pay. ”
