"The young man was leading the butler to the mansion, accompanied by thirty-one people, according to the observation of his subordinates, one was supposed to be William Knight, ten of the remaining thirty were wearing iron armor and twenty were wearing leather armor, as well as a giant bear that was about to become a strange beast and a bone horse composed of bones that burned all that was burning. ”

This person reported quickly, simply, clearly, and clearly.

"Hehe, it's great to finally come. ”

The man sitting in the chair narrowed his eyes slightly, hiding the excitement in his heart, and the quill pen that had been writing quickly was also placed next to him.

Bowing his head slightly, the hood hid his entire face into darkness, and only the voice came out: "I know, you guys are doing a good job, continue to follow him, if there is any situation, remember to report it in time." ”

"The subordinates understand. The emaciated figures nodded.

"Let's go down. The man waved.

The door slammed.

The room suddenly became empty again with the people leaving.

The candle flame flickered in the wind.

The light in the room also flickered on and off.

"It's really good. A whisper came out of the mouth.

He raised his head slightly, his eyes flickering with the candlelight, but he couldn't hide the excitement and heat in it: "Ten years of life, ten years of youth, the seed of the tree of life, I didn't expect that there are such treasures in this desolate and barren place, I must get my hands on it." ”

......

The housekeeper leads the way.

They soon arrived outside Viscount Albert's residence.

Raising his head to look at Viscount Albert's mansion, the corners of Aaron's eyebrows couldn't help twitching.

Viscount Albert's mansion was exquisitely built, but it was perhaps more accurately called a small fort than the surrounding civilian buildings made of stone and wood, a four-storey all-stone building clearly divided into three floors.

The entire residence was built on the cliff side, and the city wall connected to the fortress wall on the south side.

However, the connection is more than four meters above the city wall, and is made of heavy formwork and chains, which can be used as a retractable wooden bridge.

Once an enemy comes in, Viscount Albert can run back to the Lion Empire through this road.

Of course, if he can run away.

The watchtower is complete, and the arrow tower is towering.

The outer walls also had firing ports that allowed archers or crossbowmen to shoot.

The main entrance of the residence was also unusually narrow, less than three meters high and two meters wide, which could only accommodate a carriage to enter and exit, or cavalry to rush out.

The typical architectural style of a small castle completely highlights the tenacious spirit of resisting the enemy with a small number of troops, prolonging the enemy's time to conquer it, and holding out until reinforcements arrive.

Of course, this is only a superficial reason, but in fact, it is to make the soldier delay himself when he can't do anything, so that he can run further.

However, if the entire fort is surrounded by the defeat, the role of this official residence will also be revealed, directly recruiting civilians into the official residence to continue to resist, completely abandoning the outer area, trapped here and waiting for rescue, relying on the accumulated food, even if it is not a problem to defend for a few months.

Although the Lion Empire is decaying, it is impossible for reinforcements to delay for months.

"Please come in, Mr. Aaron, Knight William. ”

The chubby butler hurriedly bent down and saluted, and stretched out his hand to Aryan to make a gesture of invitation.

If it was Allen's butler, he might be very arrogant and disdain William, but the butler of Viscount Albert in front of him knew it.

He is just a servant, although he can rely on Viscount Albert to be arrogant and show off his power to those poor people, but it does not mean that he can be so rude to William, who has already become a nobleman.

Especially at this time, when Viscount Albert asked for the other party, although it was the terrifying black-haired boy who asked for it, the relationship between this William Knight and the black-haired boy was not ordinary at first glance, not to mention that the powerful giant bear under the other party also showed how strong the other party's strength was.

Although this world seems to be respected by nobles, after all, strength is respected, as long as the strength is strong, then everything is at your fingertips.

For example, a certain duke of the Lion Empire now relies on his invincible strength to crush all disobedience, and it only took a few decades to go from an unknown commoner to one of the people who now hold the highest power in the entire empire, and even the emperor respects him.

And other nobles, even if they work hard all their lives, may not be able to raise their titles by even one level.

Although William does not have the strength of that duke, it must not be bad to be able to subdue such a giant bear, and it is not comparable to him as a butler at all.

In front of the main gate in front, there were already servants waiting respectfully.

"Hmm. Aaron nodded and stepped forward.

Not far from the main entrance, there is the patrol.

Unlike the lean, lean soldiers outside with spears in their arms and vegetables on their faces, these patrolling soldiers looked burly and powerful, and the leather armor they wore fit well.

And in the arrow towers on both sides of the official residence, the archers with longbows are also looking down vigilantly.

Obviously, they are very jealous.

Because they could all see that Rick and they were all elites who had experienced life and death, not to mention a fierce giant bear and a terrifying black bone horse.

However, because of the prior orders, they all knew that this was the escort of the people invited by the viscount, so they did not act excessively.

Bill had been handed over to the militiamen who had come with him to take care of it, except William and Rick as they followed Aryan into the mansion.

The butler glanced at William and Rick's long swords, and didn't say anything more.

In the Lion Empire, which is established by force, guests are allowed to enter with their personal weapons.

Led into the official residence, because of the style built mainly military, the light is a little dim.

William blinked before he got used to it.

"Please come with me, Viscount Albert should be waiting for you in the hall. ”

The butler still led the way.

And they followed, and they followed.

Walking through the stone-paved hallway, a wooden door was pushed open by the butler.

Inside, it opens up a space of 200 square meters, and there are ten pillars on both sides, all of which are made of stones, connecting the stones and wood overhead, bringing a strong defense and spacious space.

At the same time, there is a long table in the middle of the room.

The long table is very long, and it is difficult to estimate the length, but it is a meter wide, and there are chairs on both sides, which can meet the needs of thirty people at the same time.

Looks like this is the Lord's Hall of Solid Stone.

However, at this time, there were only a few maids in the lord's hall, and there was no expected viscount.

"Viscount Albert should be dealing with things, and he hasn't come here yet, Mr. Aaron, Knight William, you sit down and rest first, I'll go prepare fresh water, I think you must have been a little thirsty along the way. ”

Seeing that he was not there, the housekeeper was slightly embarrassed, and hurriedly remedied it respectfully.

"Well, I'm getting a little thirsty. William nodded and waved that he could get ready.

The housekeeper glanced at Yalian, who was unresponsive, and saw that the other party had no intention of objecting, so he quickly bowed his head and left, waving his hand to let the maids prepare to go to Tamsui.

Sit where guests should be sitting.

Yalian glanced at Rick, who was standing behind William, and said lightly: "What are you doing standing stupidly, why don't you hurry up and sit down and rest and rest, aren't you tired after working for so long?"

"With your spell, my lord, this is the most comfortable time I've ever been on the road. With that, Rick sat down quickly.

"Someone is coming. Aaron said suddenly.

William was quick to notice it, too, and looked towards the wooden door of the living room.

The sound of cowhide boots stomping on the ground.

There are quite a few of them.

And the loud and rude voice echoed in the hallway outside, and it was passed on.

This kind of building is not soundproof!
