Chapter 218: Field Trips

Silas didn't disappoint Luna, and when she heard that Luna wanted the famous, cursed manor on the outskirts of the city, she frowned slightly, asked Luna a few words, and nodded.

Of course, due to the manor's reputation, Silas had the chief of the guard arrange for Luna to accompany her, and only then did she grant her request to visit the manor.

Fleming has no problem with this father and daughter, one is the big boss, the other is the daughter of the big boss, the boss nods, what else can he do as soon as he works?

What's more, for this matter, Silas also specially approved him for leave.

Over the next few days, Fleming began to collect information on several nearby estates as Luna had requested.

In fact, those who can buy manors near the royal city are nothing more than two types of people.

On the one hand, there are the aristocracy, rich and powerful, whose estates have been run for generations, and at best they have expanded or reduced all the areas of the land.

The other type is the big businessmen, who buy manors near the royal city, which is nothing more than the main house in the city is too small, uncomfortable to live in, and want to expand, but they can't buy land with money in the city.

So they simply retreated to the next best thing, bought a piece of land outside the royal city, built a big garden-like house, and then rented most of the land to some peasants with small profits at very low rents, and waited for a few years, if these peasants had a certain amount of accumulation in their proper management, and then sold the land that they could not use.

In the early years, the raccoon family was in a similar situation.

"Then why can't you think about how big a house to build and how much land to buy?" asked Luna, riding on Ali and looking at Fleming, who was obviously a handful of years old but was stunned to pretend to be a young man riding a unicorn.

In her opinion, this kind of behavior of buying a large piece of land and not looking down on that little money, but preferring to rent it out, is simply a toss-up.

"The area around the royal city is not what you see now.

According to the law, there was a minimum purchase limit for uncultivated land near the royal city, and after a few years of purchase, the land that was mature could be divided and sold.

However, for the sake of the living environment near their main house, even if those wealthy merchants want to sell the surplus land, they will not sell the land in bits and pieces, and sell it to anyone.

This can be regarded as an effective control of the population near the royal city. Fleming explained.

Hearing this, Luna understood almost instantly that the way wealthy merchants selected land buyers for their own comfort was almost the same as the law that raised the bar for selling land.

Can she say that this orc still has a certain obsession with his own territory?

Given that the guards' mounts could not fly, Luna did not let Ali take off, but instead ran with Fleming towards his destination.

Outside the col where the last spring hunt had gathered, and after a distance to the west, around the mountain and to the north, there are scattered semi-underground huts that come into Luna's eyes.

Looking at the large fields of land and the orcs busy in the fields, Luna couldn't help but tug at the reins in her hand, slowing Ali's pace.

"It's a lot cooler here than on the mountain, so you can come to escape the heat in the future. Luna raised her face slightly, feeling the gentle breeze blowing through the trees on the mountain, and said beautifully.

"Can the king allow you to go without class all summer?" Fleming glanced at Luna, and to tell the truth, he opened his mouth.

The corners of Luna's mouth twitched, and she glanced at Fleming, pursing her lips without squeaking, well, she didn't care about irritated people.

"Look, what's that?"

"What a majestic mount!"

The cubs of the village could not help but scream in surprise when they saw a group of knights on their mounts passing by the edge of the village from a distance.

After the sound of the cub's majestic mount came to her, Luna clearly felt that her Ali immediately held her head high, and even her steps were staggering.

"Ali ......" Luna patted Ali on the neck, which would have stunned her mount if she had allowed it to go all the way upside down.

Fleming couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Ali, who was much stronger than his unicorn but still a baby.

The guards who followed behind couldn't help but hook the corners of their lips.

After passing through the village, the road in front of the group began to become difficult to walk, and even many of the roads that had been stepped on by people had been covered with weeds again.

"Is this the way it is?" Luna looked at the road that was getting wilder and wilder, and felt as if the voice had been left behind, and she couldn't help but sit on Ali and turn around, looking around.

She could see the shadows of some ridges in the distance on her left, but because no one had cultivated them for too long, the fields divided by the ridges were already covered with all kinds of weeds, and in some places, even small trees had grown.

"It's here. The area of this manor is still very large, and it is necessary to walk a little more to get to the main building of the manor. Pulling the map out of his satchel, Fleming pointed to Luna where they were.

Here, Luna and the others continued along the road with Fleming, but in the small village they left behind, there was a young orc, and after seeing Luna and her group, go straight to the cursed manor, he galloped towards a huge manor located in the south.

After walking on the overgrown and dilapidated path for an hour, Luna finally appeared about a kilometer ahead of Luna at the direction of Fleming, a fence full of climbing plants that could barely be seen as a door appeared about a kilometer ahead.

The group slowly approached, standing in front of the fence gate where the chains of the lock door were almost rusted, Luna subconsciously stroked her arm, turned to look at Fleming and asked:

"Are you sure the owner of this manor moved out last year?"

"Sure. Looking at the surroundings that obviously didn't look like they had only been idle for a year, Fleming also felt a little cold in his back erection neck for some reason, but he still nodded and said.

Luna turned over and landed on Ali, then walked to the fence door, pinched the lock on the door, saw that the keyhole was rusty, frowned, sniffed closer, her eyes flickered slightly, and then looked at the courtyard wall, which was still quite strong, but crawled with plants like creepers, turned to Fleming and asked:

"I'm afraid this lock won't be opened, how can we get in?"

Just as Fleming was about to step forward to check on the words, a one-eyed old orc suddenly came out of the wall and asked:

"Who are you?"

Scare!

Luna was startled by the sudden appearance of the old orc, and instinctively took a few steps back, and at the same time, Ali also exploded his wings, stretched his neck, and roared at the old orc, as if to express his displeasure at the other party for scaring his master.
