037 Manor Encounter

"I'm gone, goodbye."

"Goodbye." Chen Yi waved his hand and watched Fu Wanzhen pull her luggage and disappear into the door of the community before retracting her gaze.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, after they met on a blind date at a café, they got in touch more, and on the fourth day of the new year, they had a meal together in Izumo. And made an appointment to take the car back to G City together today.

Fate is really wonderful, Fu Wanzhen was his crush in high school, and in the boring and heavy study career in the third year of high school, she was like a ray of sunshine, giving his boring life some fresh colors.

He hadn't accosted her, nor had he ever thought of talking to her. Just at the time of school and school every day, pinch the time, wait for her to appear, and look at her from afar.

After graduating from high school, he never saw her again. After so many years, she has become a fond memory for him. He didn't go out of his way to look for her, just to keep the flawless image in his heart.

That's good, he thought.

I didn't expect that after so many years, I would meet her again and have some intersections.

He was very conflicted in his heart, intellectually, he told himself that the woman in his memory was not the same thing as the real her now. However, seeing her on a blind date with another man, I was still very uncomfortable.

What if she has a boyfriend?

Just thinking of this possibility, there was a killing intent churning in his heart.

"Is this it?"

The driver's words interrupted his thoughts. He glanced out the window, nodded, and said, "Yes." Then he got out of the car with his things.

He glanced up at the clear sky, gathered his mind, and walked towards the rented house.

When he passed by Zhang Xiuying's house, he didn't hear any sound inside, so he should have gone out. When I returned to my rented house, I saw that there was no dust on the floor, and I couldn't help but smile at the corner of my mouth.

He had been living in his hometown for a week, and apparently someone had come over to help him clean it.

He made some food first, replenished his energy, activated the ring, and came to the transit space. Change your clothes, grab your weapons, and travel to the Atlas.

In a wood, Chen Yi appeared out of thin air, he recognized the direction of Rock Town, and rushed over.

"Mr. Chen?"

As soon as he appeared at the gate of the manor, one of the guards guarding the gate recognized him and said in surprise, "It's great that you're okay." ”

He asked, "What about the Baron?" ”

"The old baron is dead." The guard said with some grief.

"Ah, when?"

"...... half a year ago"

Chen Yi came over two times before, once when Baron York was killed, and the other when he killed Old Willy, and no outsiders were present. In the eyes of others, he has disappeared for half a year. So, I'm not worried about being exposed.

Soon, he got a lot of information from the guard.

According to the guard, there was a female archer who went to the manor and killed people everywhere. Even the Baroness and the Baron's youngest son and daughter were killed. Only the baron's eldest son, Cody, escaped.

Later, old Willie returned to the manor and said that he had killed all the invading robbers. It also brought the news of the death of Baron York, and the seriously wounded Angle.

The baron's eldest son, Cody, then succeeded to the title, and as his brother, Anglie also left the realm in accordance with tradition.

It didn't take long for Old Willy to disappear, and the entire territory could be said to be in panic.

It wasn't until the new Baron Cody, who announced his marriage to the daughter of Viscount Sean's family in Crescent City, that people's hearts stabilized.

"Cody married Sean's granddaughter?"

What surprised Chen Yi the most was the news. At that time, he had heard Baron York say that the three Assassins had been sent by Viscount Sean, and that the Assassins had not denied it directly.

Now, Cody is married to the granddaughter of his father's killer. It's a little embarrassing.

Immediately, he became curious again, the entire Locke Territory, what is there that is worthy of Viscount Sean's plot?

After a while, Chen Yi saw Cody, who had become a baron, and felt a little unrecognizable. The continuous tribulations and blows did not make him depressed, but quickly matured.

Cody, who was standing in front of him, had a calm temperament and a firm gaze, not at all like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man.

"Mr. Chen, it's great to see you." Cody was visibly happy to see him.

Chen Yi sighed and said, "I heard about Baron York, please mourn." ”

Cody said sharply, "I have found out that those three people are from a gang of thieves, and I will definitely take revenge on my parents." ”

Chen Yi patted him on the shoulder as a sign of support.

Cody didn't continue the topic, saying, "Now that Mr. Chen is back, he must stay at the manor for a few more days." ”

Chen Yizheng said, "Actually, I came back this time to say goodbye to Baron York. ”

Cody asked, "You're leaving?" ”

"yes, it's been so long since you've been in Locketown, and it's time to get a glimpse of the outside world." Chen Yi said.

"Mr. Chen is indeed a natural traveler." Cody sighed.

Chen Yi said, "Before leaving, I would like to ask the baron for a favor. ”

"What's the rush? You just say. ”

Chen Yi said, "I need a certificate of freedman. ”

"No problem, I'll open one for you right away." Cody said.

"Thank you, Baron."

Chen Yi said. This world, which is really similar to the medieval period, can be described in one word, that is, the class is strict, and the aristocracy is naturally high. As for the commoners, they were also divided into tiers, with merchant mercenaries having a higher status, then freedmen, then ordinary lords, and finally serfs.

Needless to say, serfs were slaves, and they had no personal freedom at all. And ordinary lords, who are also the private property of nobles, must not leave the territory one step. If you leave without permission, you are considered a wild people who have left the territory. If you are caught, you will become a slave.

Only freedmen have some status, and their personal and property can be protected by the laws of the kingdom. and the ability to leave the territory freely.

With the certificate of a free man, you can go out and have a lot less trouble.

It is the right of every nobleman to issue a certificate of freeman, and it is also a great source of wealth, and the status of a freeman requires five gold coins. It is difficult for ordinary civilians to earn such a huge sum of money in their lifetime.

When Chen Yi got the certificate, he put down a bag of silver coins. No more, no less, exactly fifty.

"When are you going to leave?" Cody didn't shirk, took the money, and asked.

Chen Yi said, "I want to leave tomorrow." ”

"There will be a caravan passing by tomorrow, why don't you go with the caravan, it's safer." Cody suggested.

"Caravans? It's good. Chen Yi nodded and accepted the proposal.
