Chapter 548: Madame (6000 Plus)
"Oh! We'll go to the castle at once...... My Tanasha, and little Owen, must follow me, and they can't go anywhere! ā
Wu Ming followed Rorian into the mansion and walked through a corridor, when he heard a soprano voice coming out of the hall, extremely sharp. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Madam, please stay calm!"
Another rich male voice came: "Although the young lady and the young master are still young, they both have the blood of the nobility, and they have reached the age to take responsibility...... This time, if Viscount Garcia asks for an attendant, only two direct children can satisfy him......"
"Oh my God! Let the dragon take him away! ā
The woman's cry came: "My poor Tanasha, she's only nine years old! ā
"Ahem!"
At this time, Rorian finally couldn't take it anymore, coughed, and entered the hall.
"Ma'am, I have brought you William, who held out on the battlefield until the last moment, and perhaps knows more news......"
"Dear Madam!"
Wu Ming secretly rolled his eyes, but he still bowed meticulously, after all, he had not yet mastered the power to gain respect at this time.
"I don't want to see anything William...... All I want is my Tanasha and Owen to be safe! ā
Wu Ming secretly glanced at the baroness, and saw that she was wearing a black dress, which seemed to be less than thirty, but her face was covered by heavy makeup, and her eyes were red and swollen, with dark circles, obviously a little nervous.
"I'm going to write to my father immediately! We, the Tuts, will not sit idly by! ā
The baroness kissed the foreheads of the two boys and girls in front of her, and it was evident that they were frightened.
"We have blue blood and are born noble! Never give in! ā
"Ahem!"
At this time, a silver-haired old man beside him, who combed his back and was meticulously dressed, like a housekeeper, coughed: "Dear madam, I have to remind you that your father, Baron Tut, is also one of the captives this time, and although Viscount Garcia himself is an outsider, he has also inherited the blood of the plateau hero, and he is also a nobleman......"
"Nine Layers of Hell......"
The Baroness covered her forehead in despair: "I want to leave for the castle immediately!" Then transfer the Auf Knights and Thakur Knights, and bring their best men, right now! ā
"Your will will be carried out!"
The old butler bowed helplessly.
Seeing this, Rorian shrugged his shoulders helplessly at Wu Ming: "Then I'll take my leave, madam!" ā
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Wu Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
This baroness is like this, but it is for him to pass the test easily, and he has passed the road.
Since then, no one has been able to talk about his desertion experience.
Of course, Wu Ming, who knew this, also immediately expressed his gratitude to Rorian.
"You deserve it!"
Rorian patted Wu Ming on the shoulder: "And, after this time, you have already completed your military service this year, and if the baron exercises the conscription again, you must pay for it...... Of course, I suggest that you take the initiative to build up meritorious deeds, and there are quite a few seats vacated in the guard this time......"
He looked at Wu Ming with a look that you know, and then strode away.
"Strange ......"
Wu Ming looked at this person, but there was doubt in his eyes.
This Rorian was lukewarm to him before, so why did he feel a little different this time.
Could it be because I heard about his performance on the battlefield that I felt a little sorry for his talent? Unfortunately, if he knew that William couldn't move because he was afraid, he probably didn't know what his expression would be.
"Of course, it's also an opportunity!"
The memories of William in the past told Wu Ming how rare this opportunity was!
In the entire territory, most of them are tenant farmers, slaves and other inferior people, if you can really become a full-fledged soldier through Rorian's recommendation, although it is not a leap to the upper class, at least the status is also greatly improved.
And only by making meritorious deeds, or gaining the approval of the lord, can you obtain the status of a free citizen!
"Approach the castle to get more information about the world, such as knight training or something......"
Wu Ming recalled William's memory.
To become a knight, you must first become a knight squire.
This profession was mostly performed by minor nobles or the second sons and third sons of knights, who were sent to a well-known knightly family from an early age, lived with the head of the family, and learned to care for horses, scrub armor, and use spears and two-handed swords in combat.
After their family has accumulated a set of knightly armor and made enough meritorious contributions to the lord, they may be rewarded with a manor as a fief, and officially become a knight class and a noble reserve.
As for the real aristocratic son-in-law? They were either raised by heirs from an early age, or they were sent to serve as acolytes with the greater nobles as proof of allegiance, while learning all kinds of knowledge and a little bit of hostage.
"With my true spiritual nature, I am still closer to the Dharma system...... But now it would be nice to have a physics department's power rules of the world as a comparison......"
Wu Ming is very open.
Although I don't know what the mystery of this knight's inheritance is, there must be something unique that can help him now.
"William?"
He strolled to the front of an inn, and an aunt in an apron happened to come out, staring at him in disbelief.
"Oh! Poor little William! ā
Her face was first a little incredulous, and then a little surprised: "God bless!" You're alive! ā
"I'm sorry to worry you, Aunt Roya!"
Wu Ming bowed slightly.
William remembers the impression of this woman, who was an orphan since he was a child, and struggled to survive by working for Aunt Roya, who owned a hotel, and who also took care of him.
And, of course, her daughter, Sophia, a seventeen-year-old girl, is at her most youthful and beautiful.
William, who was also young, had already begun to fight the idea of this girl, and he had seriously considered the possibility of marrying this girl until he went to war......
"It's okay!"
Aunt Luo Ya wiped her eyes and pulled Wu Ming into the hotel: "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" ā
"Well, please bring me a bowl of creamy matsutake soup and three pieces of oatmeal bread!"
Wu Ming touched his stomach, took out more than a dozen coppers, and forcibly stuffed them into Aunt Luo Ya's hands.
After a lap on the battlefield, this little gain is still there.
"Okay, you'll ...... later"
Seeing Aunt Luo Ya turn into the back hall, Wu Ming sat down at a table in the corner and looked around silently.
As the only inn in the town, Aunt Loya's business is quite passable, and in the empty hall, there are some people sitting in twos and threes, and the legendary adventurers and bards are gone, but most of them are locals, drinking low-alcohol ale in oak cups, laughing casually, and passing the time.
"Look! William Jr. is back! ā
A rosacea uncle coaxed: "I hope you don't miss any parts on the battlefield...... Hiccup......"
"Thanks to you, I'm finally safe and sound!"
Wu Ming didn't bother with him, because he knew that it was just a joke without malicious intentions.
"William, yours!"
At this moment a girl in a burlap skirt ran out like the wind, holding in her hand a bowl of soup, three pieces of brown bread, cut very thickly, and especially a piece of bacon, which had been fried in oil, and which was bubbling with the aroma of meat.
"Everyone!"
Sophia said loudly: "My mother said, in order to celebrate William's safe return, she will invite the next glass of ale!" ā
"Oh!"
Many drunkards were so happy that they raised their glasses one after another: "Cheers to that lucky young man!" ā
Wu Ming looked at Sophia, who ran back to the back kitchen, and secretly looked at Sophia, touched his nose, and was a little embarrassed.
From William's point of view, Sophia is naturally fairy-like.
But he wasn't William, and he didn't want to have anything to do with his past.
The matsutake soup is very fragrant and quite rich, and Aunt Luoya's craftsmanship is obviously very good, as well as the oatmeal bread, which is much softer and more delicious than the lowest black bread.
Wu Ming sandwiched the bacon between two slices of bread and ate it in a big gulp, and a string of memories came back to his mind.
As the bottom layer, William has naturally suffered a lot before, the staple food is basically black bread that is as hard as a brick, and the rough sawdust-like taste makes William remember it vividly, especially if you don't soak it in advance and eat it directly, it will definitely knock off a few people's teeth, and it is so difficult to swallow that you want to poke it down the throat with the handle of a knife.
'This body is too weak, and it is congenitally deficient......
Wu Ming sighed secretly in his heart.
After attaining a stable life, the first thing to do is to take care of your body.
Without this foundation, no matter how much you want to train and improve, it will be in vain.
After eating and drinking enough, and thanking Aunt Luo Ya again and again, Wu Ming came to his residence, William's cottage.
It was located on the edge of the town, crooked, looking like a shack that would collapse at any moment, which made Wu Ming speechless.
Squeak!
He pushed open the door, and a musty smell suddenly came, and the turbid air was filled with dust, and he couldn't help but frown.
"There's nothing to clean up...... Except for ......"
Wu Ming came to the corner of the house, removed a stone slab, dug down again, and finally dug out a small black bag.
With a slight shake, a crisp sound came from inside.
He opened his pocket, and with a slight fall, a flash of silver light rolled out.
"Three silver thalers, and some copper, that's all William's net worth......"
Wu Ming sighed.
Even if he left the battlefield, the little dead money he gave out casually was a lot more than this, which made him sigh.
"But fortunately, this person is an orphan, and the only thing that has something to do with it is Aunt Luoya's family, who has no worries, and can be regarded as the least cause and effect......"
This is also the point that Wu Ming is most satisfied with.
