Chapter 592: Rent a piece of land for ninety-nine years
In the ring, the two-handed sword girl was lying on the ground, a short sword was inserted in her smooth abdomen, the whole person was dying, and the sword and shield girl's thigh was slashed by the opponent's last blow, and it was also dripping with blood at this time.
Under the ring, the audience who won the money was cheering, and the abuse of the losing money was endless.
The sword and shield girl stood silently in the ring, the expression on her face numb, she was waiting for the final decision of the audience.
In the box, Miss Pillow said to Charles: "If the owner of the losing party does not say anything within a minute, it means that he has given up on the loser." ”
"If no one wants to buy the loser in the next minute, then it's up to the audience to decide whether or not to take her life. ”
A minute passed quickly, and Charles sighed and said, "I'll buy her." ”
This damn world, he can't completely break it now, if he can save one, save one first.
At this time, the pillow lady leaned over, kissed Charles fiercely, and said, "Congratulations on winning the master." ”
Then, the four young ladies next to them changed their tricks and presented Charles with all kinds of "books without words".
As a result, Charles didn't say anything at all, so that the young ladies who were waiting for the master's reward scolded him angrily in their hearts.
At this time, the door of the box was pushed open, and the two-handed sword girl on the stage just now was carried in on a stretcher, and her slave contract was also in Charles's hand.
Charles frowned and looked at the young girl, the wounds on her body were simply stopped and wrapped a few times with a clean linen tape, and there was no effective quality at all.
The girl's eyes glazed over at the ceiling, unresponsive to the new master who walked up to her.
Charles shook his head and healed both of her wounds with healing.
At this time, the second "double dance" of the ring match began again, and the blood stains on the stone slab had not yet been cleaned up.
Ten "balls" were held that night, and Charles only bought a total of four losers, and the others died on the spot.

Wagon Gonna Nodal looked at Charles with a smile and asked, "Have you had fun these days?"
Charles Pi replied with a smile: "Thank you brother for bringing me here, I just let you break the bank, and I am a little unhappy." ”
Gunner laughed and said, "My brother is just making a small profit, and I don't have a loss, brother." ”
Charles said modestly: "Of course, when it comes to making money, I still have to learn more from my brother." ”
At this time, Charles was on his way back to the city after attending the "ball" for the fifth time, and such a "ball" was held once every four months, and today was the end day.
In the past five days, his empty glove white wolf-style betting has reached an eighty percent winning rate, which makes the dealer Gunnar Nodal a little frightened, for fear that he will suddenly play a big sum that day.
Fortunately, Charles knows how to measure himself, and the money he wins every time is within the range of pocket money for them who are rich.
Gunner shook his head and said, "Tut-tut, I didn't think that my brother was a flower lover, can you put it at home?"
Charles said "hehe" twice, and said deliberately unpleasantly: "Brother looks down on me, doesn't he?"
"I've already bought a manor in the south, not to mention only about forty, a little more...... Big deal I'll buy a few more estates. ”
Over the course of five nights, there were more than 60 "duet dances" and "multi-person dances," and Charles bought all the survivors.
Gunner gave Charles a thumbs up and said, "It's still my brother who has ambitions." ”
He then asked, "Are the few who have served you these days good?" ”
Charles' eyes lit up and he said, "That's naturally excellent." ”
He was sure that if he showed the slightest dissatisfaction, the young ladies in those boxes would be dead in the sewers of Florence before the sun rose tomorrow.
Gunner waved his hand and said, "Then they will all be given to the elder brother." ”
Charles had a smile on his face and said, "Thank you so much, brother." ”
Then Gunner's face darkened, and he deliberately said angrily: "Brother, there is something you really can't do properly, brother, I'm going to talk about you." ”
As a result, Charles raised his head, looked at the roof of the carriage and did not speak, and ignored Gunner.
Gunner said depressedly: "Brother, I am almost ready to get my hands on that thorny rose, how can you cut off your beard?"
Charles smiled smugly and said, "No way, who made me handsome and rich." ”
With a look of disdain, Gunner said, "Tsk, be careful that you pee on the upper of your shoes before you are twenty years old." ”
Charles clasped his hands and said triumphantly: "Hmph, I see that it is you who don't walk by the river and get your shoes wet." ”
Gunner glared at Charles as if he wanted to hit someone.
Charles took out a roll of parchment from the storage ring and handed it to Gunner, saying, "I know a secret recipe for the elves, do you want to know?"
Gunner took the parchment and opened it to look at it, his brows furrowed slightly, and asked, "What did you buy this place for, cut down trees and sell wood?"
Charles replied, "A few days ago my great butler Ah Fu went to raise all the bandits in that place, and he thought that the land there was good, with rivers and roads, and he could use them to build workshops and farms. ”
That place is really good, the east is the main road in and out of the Duchy of Milan, the river in the west can go directly to the foreign trade city in the north of the Elven Tree Sea to the south, you can go to the river in the north, and you can also go to the Slime Basin by turning a corner on the way, which can be called the first choice for opening the base.
It's just that the land is less flat and more hilly, and the people of the Duchy of Milan are not interested there.
And the latest news Charles got was that there was actually an iron ore vein in that place, which was discovered by the bandits not long ago.
Gunner's brow didn't loosen, and he said, "This place is a little bigger, big enough to build a town." ”
Charles sighed and said, "No way, only a large enough place is enough to grow food, in case there is a drought or snow disaster in the northland in a few years, it is convenient to get some food." ”
As soon as he explained this, Gunner was relieved, and Gunner knew about Charles's mobilization of food relief a few years ago.
It's just that Gunner is still a little uneasy, with the system of the Duchy of Milan, Charles can completely manage this place as a country within a country, which is not allowed for the Nodal family.
At this time, Charles said: "In this way, we will lease this land for ninety-nine years, calculate the tax according to the tax system, pay the rent every three years, and all the amounts will be agreed upon once when the agreement is signed, and will not be changed." ”
"We have our own executive and judicial power in this place. ”
"At the same time, we promised that the escorts of this place would not be equipped with shields, would not wear metal armor, and would not ride horses. ”
Gunner looked at Charles and always felt that something was wrong.
But it's not impossible.
First of all, the light infantry without shield armor protection is a scum in front of the iron cavalry.
Secondly, the administration and administration of justice in the cities of the Duchy of Milan were in fact controlled by locally elected people, and the Grand Duke had the final judicial power.
However, the cities basically do not bring lawsuits to the Grand Duke, and trivial matters are solved within the framework of one city, and only when there is a conflict between cities will the lawsuit be brought to the Grand Duke.
Charles's place is essentially the same, but without the election.
Gunner put away the parchment and said, "This is not for me to decide, you have time to come to the city of Milan to talk to the Grand Duke." ”
Charles breathed a sigh of relief, Gunner's lack of objection shows that this matter has not exceeded the bottom line of the Nordal family, as long as Charles pays taxes and ground rent on time and does not evade taxes.
As for the rest of the story, Charles felt that after many years, Gunner would cry and maybe jump into the river.
The carriage stopped at the hotel where Charles was staying, and he did not change places during this time.
It's just that when he walked to the door of the room, he felt a familiar murderous aura gushing out from behind the door.
He pushed open the door to the room, and saw Artoria standing in the room, her head standing like a lightning rod.
A beautiful woman with a fiery figure stood in front of Artoria and said to her respectfully, "Madame, are you back?"
