Stannis returned to his castle in disgrace, he did not expect that as a dignified earl, he would be robbed by goblins, and there was not a dime left in the robbery.

"The financial situation is going to deteriorate so much! It looks like it's going to go bankrupt and reorganize. Stannis said worriedly to his maestro.

Maester Romon obviously didn't understand such a technical vocabulary, "What do you say, Your Excellency?"

"I mean, why would I be poor for pants!"

Maester Romon thought for a moment, "Your Excellency the Former Earl, who is also your father, spent almost all the money in the coffers. ”

Stannis clenched his fists and waved excitedly, "I knew that there would definitely be a loser dad who would make me poor!"

The maester continued: "And you have spent a lot of money in the past year, not only selling the art in the castle, but now you have a foreign debt of two hundred gold coins. ”

"......" Stannis has nothing to say, I'm afraid that it wasn't the previous Stannis who committed suicide because of too much debt, and then the god of time and space casually pulled someone to replace him, and he was the unlucky ghost.

"Why did I spend so much money?" he scratched his hair, because he couldn't remember the time when he squandered it at all, let alone eating meat, and he couldn't even remember the smell of meat, which was too unpleasant.

Monk Romon nodded at the friend next to him, "Well, you're going to ask him." ”

Robert hurriedly waved his hand, trying his best to put aside the relationship with himself, "Then, boss, all this money was spent when you took me out to be chic, and I advised you to save some money at that time, you can't deny it now!"

Looking at this unobtrusive fellow, Stannis longed to have someone pull him out and cut him down, but he tried his best to calm his anger, because there were still some good things waiting for him to achieve.

For example, exercising the privileges of a lord.

That's right, he is now going to bully men and women, and do all kinds of evil! He wants to prove to the world with practical actions that the powerful and powerful can really do whatever they want!

As a senior virgin, the most important thing now is to find a girl to be cool, from waking up in the morning to now is three around him, even if he enters the castle now, he can't see the soft and bullying maid to greet him, is this the palace of philosophy ♂?

"Oh, there's no woman in the castle right now!" asked Stannis, as soon as he sat down.

The three of them looked at each other, and finally Master Romon said in embarrassment, "Your Excellency, because I really can't pay my salary, I have dismissed all the maids, male servants, and wet nurses last week, and now there are only a few guards and a cook left. ”

"Damn, am I the only one left with the three of you now? and I don't believe there is not a single person of the opposite sex in this huge castle!"

Robert thought for a moment, and then slapped his thigh, "My lord, there is one woman, she caught a witch nearby before, and now she is locked up in a dungeon!"

Korodov also chimed in: "That's right, it's the opposite sex. ”

"Witch!" Stannis immediately became enthusiastic, when he was still Chen Kai, he didn't read witches, these mysterious women with powerful magical powers, or charming, or pungent, or weak, as soon as he thought that these women fell into his hands and let him bully, he immediately fidgeted excitedly.

"Hurry up, get her stripped naked and send her to my room, ahem, no, I mean to interrogate her personally!"

Korodov immediately shook his head in disagreement, "My lord, this is the witch that the Bishop personally ordered to hunt down! ”

Stannis shook his head indifferently, "What's the matter, I'm going to die anyway, let me be refreshed first, by the way, is there any torture room here?"

The chief knight said inexplicably, "Yes, but it hasn't been used for a long time. ”

"It's okay, bring her there to meet me. "Stannis already feels hard underneath, and today he is going to break his childish body!

"Boss, don't you need something to eat to strengthen before you get to work?" Robert, unruly approached.

Stannis, who was still very pure inside, waved his hand, "No, it's not too late to eat when I return triumphantly." ”

After saying that, he relied on his memory and walked towards the torture chamber with great interest.

It had been used for a long time, and even the iron door was rusty, and Stannis struggled to push it open and into the room, accompanied by the faint candlelight, and the real medieval torture instrument appeared in front of him.

Shackles, soldering irons, head crushers, flowering pears......

"Oh, it's really an iron virgin. He rubbed repeatedly in front of a coffin covered in iron thorns, and it seemed that he could still see dried blood on the dense spikes.

Looking at these dazzling torture instruments, he was a little reluctant, which was a little different from the fragrant scene he imagined, so he decided to use some gentle means for the first time, thinking like this, he picked up a leather whip and waved it twice.

"My lord, I brought this witch here. Korodov's loud voice came from outside the room.

Stannis turned around excitedly and shouted excitedly, "Hurry up, let her strip naked, I'm going to ......"

Halfway through the sentence, Stennis stopped moving like petrified.

Korodov at the front, with his hand on the hilt of his sword, looked nervous, and at the back there were two guards, who looked like they were escorting a very dangerous figure.

And among them is the witch that Stannis is most looking forward to.

An old witch with a rickety body......

"Damn! It's completely different from the general plot development. Stannis knelt helplessly and grabbed the ground with his head.

"My lord, what's wrong with you......" Korodov found his master crying for some reason.

"This old woman is what Robert calls a witch......" Stannis touched his tears.

The unknown knight replied solemnly, "Yes, my lord. ”

"This is what you call the opposite sex?" Stannis was forcing himself not to strangle him.

Korodov still nodded innocently, "She's definitely a woman, I can swear by my honor." ”

Is this guy also full of muscles in his head!

The new lord, who was not angry, circled around the old woman twice, and the other party also looked at him timidly.

"Is this just an ordinary peasant woman! Can't you gang engage in religious persecution and just arrest a person and make up for it!" Stannis, who had always scoffed at these feudal superstitions, pursed his lips disdainfully.

Korodov was shocked, "Don't underestimate this witch, the church only caught her after two dead spellhunters, because we are the closest castle, so they locked her here." ”

Stannis almost burst out laughing, and he pointed to the scrawny old woman and said in a playful tone: "I guess give her a sword at such an old age, she is tired to death before she can kill anyone." ”

The chief knight still insisted, "In short, she is very dangerous!"

It's over, it's a bunch of crazy people, catching an old woman can still kill people, these medieval churches are really even more rotten and incompetent than what you learn in history textbooks. Stannis didn't want to mess with him anymore, so he waved his hand, "Take her back to the dungeon." ”

"Yes, sir. Borodov breathed a sigh of relief, and every second he spent with the witch made his hair stand on end.

"Wait. Stannis changed his mind again, "Remove the shackles from her hands tonight, take her to the guest room for a night's sleep, and send some more people to watch at the door, after all, this is her last night, at least make her comfortable." ”

Although he has no ambition to help the world, Stannis still retains his conscience as a human being.

"But my lord, it's too dangerous. Without hesitation, Korodov objected at the first time.

"Why, who is the owner of this castle!" Stannis finally showed the courage of a lord.

The chief knight immediately changed his position, "Yes, my lord, you have heard the order!" Take the witch to the guest room and settle down, and send a few more men to guard the door. ”

Before being taken out, the old woman clasped her hands together and thanked her: "Thank you, kind lord, and I wish you a long life!"

Stannis waved his hand unconcernedly, for his most important thing now was to find a replacement to comfort his now desperately lost little brother.
