Chapter 0008: Baron Hill
Baron Hill rode in a comfortable carriage with a snow eagle flower on it, the emblem of the family. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoA group of 100 Guardsmen, led by a knight, slowly drove out of the town of Vickund, surrounded by carriages.
Yesterday afternoon, he heard rumors in the streets that Sunset Town, which should have been destroyed, had been taken over by the same imp from the royal capital, oh yes, it was the third ancestor of the Hubbard family.
Originally, Baron Hill was slightly surprised by this matter, and then praised Van Pei's brain-dead, but the latter news made Baron Hill unable to sit still.
"Iron ore mines have been discovered in Sunset Town, and there are people who come with iron ore to sell it."
Iron Mine!
Oh my God, what did the third ancestor of the Shaw Bird family do, he actually found an iron mine, and the Fury Wind Fortress has been explored for many years without any discovery.
Baron Hill hurriedly sent someone to buy the iron ore, and after repeatedly confirming with the man who sold the iron ore, he passed the news to the ears of Viscount Dassault, the lord of the Fury Wind Fortress.
As a result, late last night, Viscount Dassault sent someone to send a message to Sunset Town to confirm that if there is really an iron mine, it must be taken down at all costs, and the mine must not fall into the hands of Van Pei.
Of course, it cannot be purchased in the name of the Fury Fortress in the name of Baron Hill himself.
"Damn, Sunset Town has been ransacked, maybe when the Shedi people will come again." Baron Hill wrapped his bearskin coat tightly and couldn't help but ask the knight outside the car, "Carmen, are you sure the Shedi people are really gone?" ”
"Yes, sir. The Moon Festival of the Xuedi people is approaching, they have just seized a large amount of supplies in Sunset Town, and they should be busy with the celebration at this time, and they don't have time to come back. ”
Carmen had lost count of the number of times she had answered.
If his knighthood had not been granted to him by this timid baron, Carmen would really want to leave him. But Carmen can only regain her freedom unless Baron Hill deprives her of her title, or other force majeure factors such as the death of Baron Hill.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have told Lord Dassault first, so I wouldn't have to go to that hellish place in Sunset." Baron Hill muttered in the car and said to Carmen, "I'll sleep for a while, and then call me when I get to Sunset." ”
"Yes, sir."
Carmen replied respectfully, riding a snowhorse under her crotch, and leading the guards on either side of the carriage towards Sunset Town.
His own baron was too cowardly, and he transferred all the only hundred guards in the town.
But forget it, it's much better than the third ancestor who is incompetent and causes trouble everywhere. Lustful, incompetent, wanton, lawless, this is the impression that Knight Carmen has of Van Pei.
In other words, anyone who knows Van Pei basically has this impression.
Carmen and his party set out in the morning without any delay on the way, and finally arrived at Sunset Town in the evening. Along the way, he didn't encounter any Shedi people, much to the relief of Knight Carmen.
Just looking at the dark town in front of her, which had been burned by the fire, Carmen undoubtedly had a little more disgust for Van Pei, the third ancestor.
"My lord, Sunset Town has arrived." Carmen shouted.
"Oh? That's it? I remember that according to last night's discussion, with me putting on a fierce appearance, that Third Ancestor should be frightened by now. ”
Baron Hill in the carriage stretched his waist and cheered up, and later he had to do everything possible to fool this third ancestor, let him sell it to himself at a low price, and sell it to Viscount Dassault at a higher price.
Knight Carmen leads the party through the south gate of Sunset Town, and they must first pass through the knight's mansion before they can reach the town hall.
Baron Hill, perhaps in the mood for it, stepped out of the carriage and watched the sights of the burned houses along the way, with occasional amazement. Sunset Town has been established for hundreds of years, and it has never encountered such a war, and this stupid Van Pei just let Sunset Town be burned to the ground as soon as he came.
"My lord, didn't the Palu Knight take refuge in the Fury Wind Fortress?" Carmen frowned and looked at a large mansion in front of her.
"Paru? Former mayor of Sunset Town, that old guy fled to the Fury Fortress in the first place. I saw him in the city, and he said he would never return to Sun Town again, why do you ask this? "There's something strange about Baron Hill.
"But how can there be so many people cleaning the Palu Knight's mansion?" Carmen is even stranger.
"Impossible, Paru is more timid than me, could it be that the mansion was occupied by Van Pei and let people clean it?"
Baron Hill asked the team to slow down in front of the gates of the Palu Knight's mansion. It is said that it is the gate, but in fact, it was burned out long ago at the time of the fire, and even the courtyard wall was damaged a lot, so Baron Hill was able to see everything inside.
There were a hundred or so refugees in the courtyard, and they were not waiting to die, as Baron Hill thought, but cleaning, tidying, and repairing one house after another. In addition to the blackened walls, a dozen or so rooms had been cleaned up, and all of them were inhabited by refugees, apparently not for Van Pei.
In the courtyard, the refugee woman is building a bonfire to cook dinner, sometimes laughing and laughing.
Everything was so well organized, it didn't look like a post-disaster chaos at all.
"How so?" Baron Hill was a little puzzled, "When the Fury Wind Fortress was breached, it took a long time for the chaos to stabilize. ”
Baron Hill didn't know, and Carmen didn't know.
Passing through the dead street, which is different from the Knight's Mansion, the Sunset Town Hall is already in front of you.
It's just that unlike Baron Hill thought, there are not no ghosts outside the door, but a caravan of more than fifty people waiting outside, including more than a dozen mercenaries armed with swords and bows and arrows, and a flag is planted on a carriage at the front.
"Damn, this is Philigot's banner, how did the caravan from Biwan end up here?"
Baron Hill recognized the flag at a glance.
Philigot was one of the great merchants of the Far North, traveling through all the towns of the Far North, and his banner was known to any lord.
"Could it be that I got the news of the mine? There is a large demand for iron ore in the business alliance, and it is too expensive to buy from us, so if you can buy an iron mine, it must be the most cost-effective. Knight Carmen frowned, since entering the town, everything was different from what he thought.
"Let's go, go in and have a look."
As Baron Hill was about to lead people into the town hall, a soldier stopped Baron Hill.
"I'm Baron Hill of Vickendun Town, I want to see Master Van Pei to talk about important things, what do you mean by stopping me!" Baron Hill's face was gloomy, although his status was far inferior to that of Van Pei, but he was not so rude as a small soldier to be so rude to him.
"Our young master is signing a major agreement with your distinguished guest, and outsiders are not allowed to enter and disturb it."
The soldier said very politely.
Well, by the way, "accidentally" said important information that made Baron Hill anxious to hit the wall.
