Chapter Forty-Six: A Small Town with a Different Fragrance
After a quiet night, the three of them moved on. At the current speed, it will take about 2.3 hours to reach the small town of Alien Fragrance, the territory of Viscount Dured. The reason why it is called "strange fragrance" is because there are many medicinal herbs grown outside, and Viscount Dured's family has produced many pharmacists, and the wealth is strong.
It is not that there are no people in the nobility who are deeply loved by the people, as long as you can pretend, do not expose your inner self, and don't do things that destroy the interests of the people, then it is easy to be loved. Durred is precisely the one who is the most adept at pretending.
Arthur has heard a lot of rumors about him, but the veteran driver who has been poisoned by countless film and television works in later generations can responsibly say that this is definitely not a good bird.
Why? The fact that he married 12 wives speaks volumes.
"Are you jealous that he has married so many wives to say that, and you are good-looking, and you are afraid that you will not find a wife?" asked Ranmaroke, riding on his horse.
Whether it's Tristan or Ranmarlock, it's a little funny why Arthur hates Dured, and it's a bit too childish to think that someone else has a bad guy just because he has a lot of wives.
"Brother Xiaoma,I'm a veteran driver who has been driving for many years.,I've sinicized countless 18X games.,I've never seen anything and perverts.,A 30-year-old became a viscount.,Married 12 wives.,I can tell you with certainty.,As long as we go to his castle to meet those 12 beautiful wives, we'll know what kind of bird this is.。 Yesterday Arthur sang a few songs affectionately, and the three of them drank some more wine by the way, Arthur took advantage of the strength of the wine to give Ranmarok the nickname "Little Pony", and Tristan's nickname was "Little Cui".
"What is the old driver? Tristan asked.
Arthur scratched his head, and accidentally said that he was bald. "Uh..."old driver" means people who know more, "Sinicization 18X" you can understand as translating the spring palace map printed with foreign text stories. ”
After hearing this, Ranmarok sprayed a mouthful of water in his mouth that had not yet been swallowed on Arthur's face, and Tristan also looked him up and down with a small look of "so you are such a nobleman". Both are not yet 18 years old, and their families are very strict. Originally, the three horses were walking side by side, but now they are both far away from Arthur, for fear of being misunderstood as a person along the way.
"You two will be hypocritical, I can already turn cavalry into infantry at your age. Arthur wiped the water from his face and pouted.
In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Arthur was alone in a stand-up comedy to tease the two knights who were not deeply involved in the world...
Half a mile away from the town, the smell of herbs greeted them, and at first the three of them thought that the smell of herbs could not be too good, but when they came here, they realized that herbs can also exude such an attractive aroma. Around the small town of Yixiang are large areas of medicine fields, bustling and scattered, there are many people are busy, the official road comes and goes countless merchants, each of them warmly greets familiar people, it seems particularly warm.
Arthur saw the scene here, and sweated deeply, Dured and Wayne are also viscounts, the gap is not ordinarily large, and the accumulation of wealth over the years far exceeds that of the ordinary viscount family, and it is worthy of being the first viscount under the earl.
Today is the day of the Viscount's ball, and there are many nobles visiting nearby, and the Viscount himself ordered that if the strange adventurer must ask the reason for the visit, otherwise he must not stay in the city, and the guards saw the temperament of the three people, unlike ordinary travelers, who asked the reason for the visit of the three out of duty
"I am Baron Arthur from the Sith Realm, invited by your lord to a banquet, and this is my invitation. Arthur pulled out an invitation with the Dured family seal on it and handed it to the guards.
The guards read it and handed it back to Arthur. "I'm sorry for disturbing your precious time, Lord Viscount personally ordered before you left that if you visit, you can go directly to the VIP rest area of the Viscount's Castle, the ball will officially start in the afternoon, and I will send someone to take you there immediately. With that, he bowed deeply to Arthur and the two knights.
"Well, let's hurry up then, we need to take a break before the afternoon dance begins. ”
Then a patrol guard escorted Arthur and his party to the Viscount's castle.
There were many people buying and selling things on the streets, and even if there were guards to send them off, it took a lot of time, the shops around the town were neatly arranged, the streets were whispering to passers-by, and young women were shopping for lunch supplies near noon.
The abundance of vegetables and fruits, and the abundance of buyers, show how rich the viscount's people were as rich as the city managed by the earl. Arthur walked all the way, looking at the buildings and people around him, silently planning a sketch of the entire town in his mind, planning for the future.
After a hearty lunch, Arthur followed the maid and said that he needed a room to rest, but he had other plans.
"Your Excellency, wait a minute, I'll go and ask Steward Fan. The maid bowed her head and retreated.
Ranmarok frowned, "Arthur, what the hell are you doing, the dessert hasn't been served yet." ”
"Are you stupid, didn't listen to the guard at the gate, the viscount is not in the castle now, just going to walk around, everyone except the necessary guards is eating at noon, understand?" Arthur said and pointed in the direction of the back garden.
Tristan and Ranmarok looked at him in surprise, how bold this is, if he is not familiar with life, if he is caught, it is not a simple crime. Although the life of the aristocracy is rotten, if a man dares to fool around in the master's house, it is easy to meet each other. Green hats are good-looking, and no one likes to wear them on their heads.
"I won't go, if this kind of thing is discovered, it will discredit the family. Tristan said.
"I'm not going either, waiting for dessert. ”
"Okay, I'll go alone, but don't let anyone find out I'm missing. Arthur nodded, this kind of thing is still appropriate to do alone.
After about half an hour, an old man with half-rimmed glasses and a butler's uniform walked in from outside. "Lord Baron, I'll take you to the lounge. ”
"Steward Fan, let my knight come to the room after eating, we still have something to discuss. ”
"Do as you are told. Steward Fan said with a slight salute.
Arthur nodded at the two of them and walked out of the hall behind Steward Fan. Occasionally glanced at Steward Fan's back and frowned deeply. I didn't see anything unusual from the front of my body, but when I looked at it from the back of my neck, it was obviously a little strange.
Looking at his age of about 50.60, but the rest of his skin is very firm except for his face, Arthur closes his eyes slightly and perceives everything around him with his ability.
It was filled with a lifeless smell, a drop of cold sweat slowly falling down his forehead...
Because there are a lot of dead bodies buried in the ground.
