"Alas!"

On the way back to Babnianca, although Zuo Xiaoyou is still learning the magic knowledge in his head, whenever he has free time, he will always sigh non-stop, making the two old guys, Linka and Ullis, gloating, but Livia keeps comforting.

"Brother Zuo, Bing Qingying's rejection of you is her lack of vision, I believe that you will definitely become a man who makes her look up to in the future, so that she regrets rejecting your pursuit."

That's right, Zuo Xiaoyou was rejected by Bing Qingying.

On the night of the end of the Magic Martial Arts Conference of the Clans, Zuo Xiaoyou asked Bing Qingying to go to Bingxue Peak to meet, but Zuo Xiaoyou waited all night, and Bing Qingying did not appear.

Zuo Xiaoyou also wondered if Bing Qingying had something to do and couldn't leave? Or are you sick and can't come? But after dawn, Bing Qingying and Bing Xue'er appeared in the send-off procession together, with a very good complexion, chatting and laughing with everyone, and even saying goodbye to Zuo Xiaoyou with a smile, as if he had completely forgotten that he had been invited last night.

Even if he was a fool, he understood Bing Qingying's attitude.

Rejected, rejected mercilessly.

Zuo Xiaoyou was very bitter in his heart, he didn't expect that he would be rejected by Bing Qingying, and he was releasing pigeons in this way. Why did Wu Lai take her down so easily, but not himself? Can't you compare to that bastard Wu Lai?

Or does Bing Qingying like a bad man like Wu Lai? A polite gentleman can't look down on it?

I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out. It was precisely because he couldn't figure it out that he sighed all the way: "Why is this happening? ”

"Boy, don't sigh all the time." Ullis couldn't stand it anymore: "Why does the big husband have no wife, besides, you don't want to let Livia, but go to chase Bingqingying, what do you think of Livia?" ”

"Daddy!" Livia was ashamed and angry: "What nonsense! ”

Ullis withered and muttered in a low voice: "I'm all for your good, but you treat me like this, it's really a big girl." ”

Zuo Xiaoyou sighed and said to Livia, "I'm sorry for worrying you." ”

Livia shook her head again and again: "Brother Zuo, it's just that Bing Qingying has no vision, don't be depressed, work hard, achieve a career, make Bing Qingying unattainable, and regret her to death." ”

Zuo Xiaoyou chuckled and rubbed Livia's hair: "It's a pity, I'm a man with no ambitions, I'm afraid it's hard to make her unattainable." ”

This is the first time that Zuo Xiaoyou has been so intimate with her, Livia's face turned red, and while enjoying Zuo Xiaoyou's touch, she said: "It's okay, no matter what Brother Zuo looks like, I ...... I'm ......" Livia couldn't say any more, her head bowed, but everyone understood what she was trying to say.

Princess Olina, who had been watching from the sidelines, was very angry and couldn't help but speak: "Left and right, Livia likes you so much, you don't cherish it well, but you want to pursue Bing Qingying, what do you mean!" ”

"Princess, it's none of Brother Zuo's business." Livia hurriedly defended Zuo Xiaoyou: "It's all my willingness. ”

"Your willfulness will only hurt you." Olena was furious: "There are so many men in the world, why do you want to like someone who doesn't like you, are you stupid?" ”

Livia shook her head again and again: "There are many men in the world, but I just like Big Brother Zuo." But whether Brother Zuo likes me or not is his freedom, and it is also his freedom that he wants to pursue Bing Qingying. I can't interfere with his freedom just because I like him. ”

Everyone was moved by these words, and Olina looked very complicated and shouted: "Okay! You're all good guys, but I'm the bad guy! I don't care about your business, whatever you want! After saying that, he returned to the carriage in a huff.

Ullis and Rinca also got up, and Ullis said, "Settle your own affairs with the two of you!" But left and right, don't bully my daughter, even if it's not your opponent, I will fight with you. ”

Left small right: "......"

……

A few days later, the group returned to the capital city of Papunica, Elsenk. Zuo Xiaoyou became the champion of the magic group and won the Crystal Heart for the Kingdom of Papunica, which made King Wart very happy, so he directly announced in the palace hall that Zuo Xiaoyou was named a marquis, and after referring to Zuo Xiaoyou's opinion, the area of the Tao Forest covered with the cabin was classified as Zuo Xiaoyou's fiefdom.

Because the forest of waves is full of magical beasts, it is a place where many mercenaries and adventurers go, so ordinary residents do not live there, and they are idle, and King Walter does not feel sorry for the reward.

It is estimated that King Woth also felt that the reward was a bit light, and specially allowed Zuo Xiaoyou to enter the palace library again for a month. Taking advantage of this month, the king of Wort will send someone to build a new castle in the fiefdom, and after a month, he can pack his belongings and go to the fief.

Left and right expressed their gratitude, and then entrusted the receipt of their fief and castle to Ullis and Livia. Linka is the great sage of the kingdom of Papunika, and he will stay in Elsenk if he has nothing to do, while Ullis is not inferior to any country and power, and Livia is the same, so Zuo Xiaoyou hopes that the two can live with him in the future.

The first is that Zuo Xiaoyou treats them as his own family, and the second is that with the help of these two 'natives', he can study and cultivate in his fiefdom with peace of mind, so as not to be distracted by other miscellaneous matters.

Ullis was very pleased with the fact that Zuo Xiaoyou had entrusted the fief and the castle to them, and Livia was even more pleased, repeatedly promising that she would take the fiefdom well and not disappoint him.

After that, Zuo Xiaoyou couldn't wait to enter the palace library, and Ullis and Livia went to the Tao Forest with the royal building team that specialized in building the castle three days later, and chose the most suitable place to build the castle according to the terrain.

There are many magicians in these royal building teams, more than ninety percent of them are earth magicians, and they are the best at 'building houses', which is not only fast, of good quality, but also very beautiful in appearance. After the group arrived at the fiefdom, after exploring the local environment and following the advice of Ullis and Livia, the construction team began to build a castle in a place surrounded by mountains and rivers on three sides.

As a marquis's castle, there are still requirements for scale, in addition to hard houses, gardens, courtyards, etc., the maximum size of the garden and courtyard is 400M×400M, that is, 160,000 square meters, that is, 240 acres of land area.

It is nothing in this vast and sparsely populated Holy Demon Continent, but if it is placed in the modern Celestial Empire, even the largest local tyrants and nouveau riche will never be able to take such a large land area to build a villa mansion.

And that's just the size of the castle, there's a big fief out there! Although this large fiefdom is basically forested, the total area reaches fifty square kilometers. Many people may have no idea about 50 square kilometers, but for a simple comparison, the area of Macao is 32.8 square kilometers, and the territory area of the left and right is 17.2 square kilometers larger than that of Macao.

Although it is basically a mountain forest.

……

A month passed in a flash, and after reading tens of thousands of books in the palace collection at the fastest speed, Zuo Xiaoyou said goodbye to King Walter and Teacher Linka exhausted, and flew back to his fiefdom alone.

When they arrived at the fiefdom, they saw a beautiful castle that had just been built. The castle is similar in shape to that of medieval castles in Europe, but is taller and more elaborate.

It's no wonder that there are magicians and fighter mercenaries in the Holy Demon Continent, all of whom are not easy to mess with, if some powerful great magicians or great swordsmen are determined to mess with you, they really can't stop them in terms of the scale of defense of the fortress in the European Middle Ages. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the height and thickening and strengthen the defense capability.

The walls of the castle are irregularly shaped, which were built according to the local geology, so they may seem irregular, but they are indicative of the topography of the place.

The castle is built on the side of the mountain and water, the castle is not only in the highest position, you can see the scenery in all directions, and make good use of the surrounding rivers, the river is channeled into a moat, as long as the size of the army of more than 10,000 people comes to attack the city, the moat can make the siege force look at the river and sigh.

In addition, an artificial lake was dug into the inside of the wall, and a lot of lotus flowers were planted, and pavilions and pavilions like parks were built, which is very beautiful.

In addition, in the inner courtyard of the castle, a fountain was built, and on both sides there were gardens and a lot of gardening. In short, this castle is really beautiful, a bit unusual, Zuo Xiaoyou never imagined that he would have his own castle, and it was so big and beautiful. I'm afraid that the old wealth of those modern landlords is not as luxurious as their own.

But the only thing to worry about is that the castle is too big, and if there are not enough people, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome to clean.

"Livia, I'm back." Zuo Xiaoyou saw Livia practicing her sword in the front yard of the castle, and immediately landed from the sky and looked at her with a smile.

"Brother Zuo, you're back!" Seeing the sudden return of Zuo Xiaoyou, Livia forgot to practice her sword, and pounced on him with joy: "I miss you so much." ”

After not seeing him in a month, Livia looked much lighter, and pounced on him, making him feel very light.

Zuo Xiaoyou hugged her in a circle, wrapped his left hand around her waist, and gently stroked her hair with his right hand: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Livia shook her head again and again, hugging him tightly, enjoying the hug and warmth of her sweetheart.

"Ahem!" A heavy cough interrupted the warmth between the two, and Livia broke away from her arms like a frightened rabbit, and saw her father looking at her with a smile, and said with a delicate crimson: "I...... I went to inform the kitchen and asked them to prepare dinner. After saying that, Fei also ran away.

When Livia ran into the castle, Ullys laughed and said, "Left and right, have you figured it out and want to accept Livia?" ”

Zuo Xiaoyou smiled helplessly: "Teacher, can you not mention this?" ”

"How can you not mention it!" Livia blew her beard and glared: "You kid has deceived our father and daughter, don't you kid still want to admit it!" ”

"Where is this?" Zuo Xiaoyou couldn't cry or laugh: "I treat the teacher and Livia as family to let you live with me, as for me and Livia...... At the moment, I still only have brother and sister affection for her......"

Seeing Ullis glaring, Zuo Xiaoyou sighed: "But no one can say what will happen in the future, if Livia doesn't meet someone she likes in two years, I am willing to marry her." ”

When Livia, who was hiding behind the door, heard this, her face was full of shame, and she clenched her pink fist excitedly and waved her arms again and again.

"Count you kid with a conscience." Zuo Xiaoyou's answer made Ullis very satisfied: "It's decided, you and Livia will get married in two years." ”

"Teacher, this also requires that Livia doesn't meet someone she likes." Zuo Xiaoyou reminded.

"No, no, no." Julius laughed and said, "Livia is the kind of temperament that either doesn't love, and once she does, she will die. I can see that she is already in love with you and will never like another man again. Speaking of which, Ullith stroked the redbeard on his chin and muttered, "Looks like I'm going to start preparing a dowry for Livia." ”

Left small right: "......"

"Don't be idle, you kid." Ullis said: "There should be no less dowry, it is not easy for me to raise Livia, if you kid can't come up with a dowry that satisfies me, I won't give Livia to you." ”

Left small right: "......"

"Don't talk about that." Ullis said: "Since you, the marquis, have returned, it is time to recruit some people in the fief. There are many magical beasts in the Tao Forest, and there are many mercenaries and adventurers who come here to do tasks, these are all good tax items, but the mercenaries are all outlaws, let them pay taxes obediently, and they can't be suppressed without strong strength. ”

Zuo Xiaoyou nodded: "What does the teacher mean?" ”

"If you want me to say, you can recruit some retired military personnel. Unlike mercenaries, soldiers will faithfully carry out the orders of their superiors, unlike mercenaries who are unruly, and it is perfect for guarding castles and maintaining law and order in the territory. Ullis said.

Zuo Xiaoyou nodded: "I don't know much about these, so please trouble the teacher to do it!" If you need anything, you can tell me. ”

"You must be indispensable." Ullis laughed and said: "But the luckiest thing for your kid is to contract the fire phoenix, as long as the fire phoenix flies around the fief from time to time, ordinary mercenaries and adventurers will not dare to be too presumptuous, and then the military will maintain order, and it will be much easier to collect taxes and fees." ”

"That's easy to do." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly, and released the fire phoenix from the contract space. This fire phoenix has been in the contract space for more than two months, has been suffocating uncomfortable, at first glance, it is like a bird out of the cage, a phoenix roars, the whole body is in flames, and it flies around in the sky, and the frightened nearby demonic beasts lie on the ground, trembling.

After enough joy, the fire phoenix turned into a fiery red bird and landed on top of Zuo Xiaoright's head, and pecked his hair with a small beak, venting his dissatisfaction with being 'imprisoned' for more than two months.

Ullis looked funny and couldn't help but laugh.

"......" Zuo Xiaoyou smiled helplessly, flicked the bird's head of the fire phoenix, and said, "Okay, there is no need in the future, I will not include you in the contract space." ”

After receiving Zuo Xiaoyou's assurance, the fire phoenix finally landed on the shoulder next to him from the top of his head with satisfaction: "Words are counted, those two months have suffocated me." ”
