At night, in the dungeon of the Andasokya family, there was no light except the moonlight shining through the narrow gaps. The air was filled with the smell of rotting hay, and occasionally rats ran through the corners, squeaking and screaming.

More than three hours earlier, Ferrero had been locked up by his enraged father, sitting on a haystack and looking up at the moon through a high window. Although this matter was unexpected by him, he was not in a hurry, his younger brother offended the Soul Thinkers Association and broke his leg, as long as his father did not have a brain in the water, he would never let his younger brother become the heir of the family.

So Ferrero waited with peace of mind, waiting for his father to dissipate his anger before releasing him out of the city.

He has never understood that he is above his younger brother regardless of temperament and talent, but what kind of father does he love his younger brother more, but he treats himself like a cow and a horse. When he was a child, no matter how good his academic etiquette was, his father would never praise him, as long as he occasionally made a little mistake, the stick would hit him on the back, and his younger brother played everywhere, and his father would not be angry, and occasionally there was a little bit of motivation to improve, and his father would be very happy when he saw it.

This kind of differential treatment has always made him very dissatisfied, but as an elder brother, he endured it, and what made him most unacceptable was that after he had paid so much effort for the family, his father intended to make his younger brother the heir of the family...... Why!

So after his father went out, he tried to cripple his younger brother, and then succeeded.

His stomach was growling, but Ferrero didn't care, he began to plan for the future, and when he inherited the position of patriarch, the first thing he had to do was to send his younger brother farther away, but after all, it was his own brother. I won't kill him, and the next step is to recruit migrant workers and pave and widen the roads inside and outside the city. He once heard a soul thinker say: If you want to get rich, you must first build roads.

One thing after another flashed through his mind...... It didn't take long for him to feel a tingling pain in his brain.

Shaking his head vigorously, he smiled happily.

It wasn't long before a sound came from outside the door, followed by a dim light coming from around the corner. A middle-aged man dressed in a black aristocratic outfit. He came with an oil lamp, and in his other hand, he held a wooden stick the thickness of an arm.

Ferrero stood up: "Father! ”

Abdullah placed the oil lamp on the ground and opened the cell door with the key.

"Get on your knees." Abdullah said slowly.

Ferrero knelt down as he spoke, and Abdullah raised his stick. Hit the former's back hard.

Ferrero collapsed to the ground in an instant, and his whole body was curled up. Gasping for air with difficulty.

"Do you know why I'm going to beat you?" Abdullah struck him on the calf with another stick: "You are the eldest son." In the future, this family will be inherited by you. Sofra is your younger brother, and he will definitely score points outside in the future. I have been strict with you since I was a child, just to make you a qualified successor and spoil your younger brother, because he has nothing in the future, so I can only compensate him as much as possible. And you, as the eldest brother, actually designed to make your younger brother look like this, do you still have brotherly affection. ”

Another stick was struck, and Ferrero's whole body twitched again.

It's been a long time. He relieved himself and argued with difficulty: "If my father just spoils him, I naturally won't have any complaints, but the position of the successor of this family is mine, and I can only do it, if it is handed over to my younger brother, the whole family will be finished in the future, don't you understand, father?" ”

Abdullah frowned: "Bastard, who told me to let Sofra inherit the family." ”

Hearing this, looking at his father's expression, Ferrero also knew that something seemed to be wrong: "It's ...... Job."

"Damn it." Abdullah's face changed dramatically and he cursed. Hyper was an old butler who had served Ansodakua for more than forty years, and a trusted confidant, and it would not be surprising that Ferrero would have believed him if he had spread the rumor that he wanted to make Sofra his successor.

Before Abdullah, he was in a hurry to bring people to negotiate with the association, and he was in a hurry to teach Ferrero a lesson, and he didn't notice others for a while. It had been hours since he had returned, but he had not seen him at all, and if he had been standing by his side as usual, there was something wrong with him.

"Don't play dead, get up." Abdullah threw away the stick and picked up the oil lamp again: "We may be in trouble. ”

After last night's incident, Chen Xiansong spent a day and a half reading Udir's gift book seriously, and seemed to have gained something. He also took the time to complete the simple assembly line in Adrian's factory and gave it to the other party, almost making Adrian faint with joy.

Now that most of the matter had been settled, and that the morning had been too long, Udir decided to continue on his journey to the royal city. The fat man took a few students and sent the two out of the city gate.

Looking at the departing carriage caravans, Casal asked, "Teacher, did you just let them go?" It seems that we have not completed the things that the president has handed over. ”

"Forget it, thanks to that kid, now that there is a large piece of land in the association, I am so busy that I have a sore back just to deal with the reception problem, so I have time to pay attention to this matter again." Leonardo smiled: "Anyway, our association has gained great benefits from this matter, Chen Xiansong has no credit and hard work, so let's do it for the time being, and his affairs will be handled by the president himself." ”

Chen Xiansong sat in the carriage and continued to 'melt' the exorcism stone with his mind, and continued to build his 'Odin Sacred Clothes'. ’

Ruth, as a maid, naturally followed Chen Xiansong, but she sat in another carriage and shared it with Catherine.

Ruth lifted the curtain and looked at the farther and farther walls behind her, silently weeping. On the city wall stood her two older sisters, as well as ...... Father Adrian. It wasn't until the walls were out of sight that she shrank back into the car and sat down, and Catherine came over, patted her gently on the back, and handed her a handkerchief.

"Thank you." Ruth took the handkerchief and wiped away her tears.

"Big sister, don't be sad." Frances, who was sitting not far away, also comforted: "I dare to guarantee that the teacher is a good person and will never let you be wronged." ”

Ruth nodded, she naturally believed this.

On this trip, because of the lesson of the assassination of Qingxi City, Udildo hired a team of mercenaries, plus mercenaries such as Aslan who guarded Chen Xiansong, and the whole team had hundreds of people. When the merchants saw this situation, they avoided it one after another, for fear of getting into trouble.

As there was not much time left to report to the royal city, Udir decided to speed up his journey and never stop when passing through small villages and towns, because those places were ordinary and remote, not very safe, and only when he reached the big cities, he would stop to rest. This kind of marching speed makes the mercenaries who walk on their feet very tired, but Udir is very good at being a man, and doubles the commission, which makes the escort mercenaries look at him as if they are looking at their own father.

After several days of hurrying, Wang Cheng was already in sight, and there were two days to arrive at most, and there were still five days before the time limit for reporting to the headquarters of the association, which was more than enough. At this moment, Udir finally relaxed and decided to settle down in the city where he is now to rest.

Hundreds of years ago, the king of the Kingdom of Kate, who had just succeeded to the throne, was assassinated by spies who did not know the power of the country when he passed through the people of this city...... Hence the name of the city. Since then, the royal family of Kate's kingdom has never played the political trick of 'micro-service private interview'.

The head of the Guild of Emperor City is named 'Thierry-Henry', a middle-aged man with short millet hair, who is ordinary-looking, but may have been in a high position for a long time, so he has a good prestige, and the three male students under his door are neither cold nor hot when they greet Udir. That is, there is no excessive flattery, and there is no deliberate snubbing.

However, he was very interested in Chen Xiansong, and frequently paid attention to Chen Xiansong's actions at the banquet.

When the banquet was over, Thiel personally came to find Chen Xiansong, and after a polite cold noise, he took out a drawing, and Chen Xiansong saw that it was actually the structure of the waterwheel.

"Your Excellency." Thiel didn't care about Chen Xiansong's young age, but seemed to treat him as his equal: "I'm in some trouble right now...... This is the drawing given to me by the association, and when I built the real thing, I tripled it proportionally, and it was normal at first, but in less than two months, all the waterwheels were destroyed...... At first, I used to be a problem with the material, and then I strengthened the quality of the material, so that the waterwheel lasted for more than a month before it was destroyed, this time I thoroughly checked the cause of the waterwheel accident, and found that the shaft was broken, so I thickened the shaft, but found that the rotation of the waterwheel slowed down significantly...... And three months later, the reels were still broken. ”

Thiel said helplessly: "I don't have a lot of knowledge in this area, as a maker of waterwheels, I think you should have a way to solve it." Our city is in great need of large water wheels, and we would be grateful if you could solve this problem. ”

"Can I go back tomorrow?" didn't see the real thing, and Chen Xiansong didn't dare to jump to conclusions. In fact, he already had a plan in his heart, thinking that there was still some time before he reported to Wangcheng, so he agreed.

"That's for the best." Thiel seemed very happy, and the two chatted casually, and when they left, Thiel remembered as if by accident: "By the way, Your Excellency, there is something I want to remind you." When you report to the royal city, be careful not to let the fourth prince see your maid, he is very lustful, and he is a fool and bold, although the association is not afraid of the royal family, but I don't think you want to be entangled in troublesome things. ”

The Fourth Prince? Chen Xiansong nodded slightly in thanks, he remembered the name. (To be continued......)
