Chapter 208: A Manor Built in a Cornfield

The beast chariot engraved with the emblem of the Marquis of Latour carried the four ancestors and grandchildren of the old marquis, all the way out of the north gate of the royal city.

Different from the east and west sides of the city gate, after the north city gate, there is a flat river outside, even the trees are very few, as far as the eye can see, in addition to the rutted road pressed out, the purpose is the grounded grassland, the breeze blows, it looks like a gang of green waves.

Luna rolled down the window, poked her head out, and closed her eyes slightly, it was so comfortable!

Huh, it's raining?

Luna raised her hand to wipe away the drops of water that had fallen on her face, and when she opened her eyes, she was still greeted by blue skies and white clouds, green grass, and a half-point that looked like it was raining.

Only Jack in her peripheral vision didn't know when, he had actually turned into a beast, and at this time he was holding the car window, sticking out his tongue, and letting the tongue that came out flutter in the wind.

So......

Luna subconsciously put the hand that had just wiped her face in front of her nose and sniffed, "...... vomit"

"Hahahaha......" Seeing Luna retch, the Marquis of Latour in the car laughed in unison.

"Stinky Jack, you haven't brushed your teeth again?! I'll tell my mother when I get back!"

Luna's face was a little green, it was so disgusting that she could even smell what Jack had eaten last night, well, she couldn't think about it anymore, she wanted to vomit......

Jack turned his head to look at Luna, the black wolf face, showing a tangled look, his mother knew that he would not have candy to eat without brushing his teeth, this is not good, but what to do?

After holding it for a long time, he looked at Luna in embarrassment and discussed, "Then can I go back at night and make up for the previous two times?"

Luna's face turned a little greener when she heard this, and at this moment she couldn't tell whether Jack was smart or stupid, but the old Marquis Latour and Ethan were already laughing so hard that they couldn't stand up straight.

Soon, in front of the beast cart, on the side of the road, there was a very large cornfield, as if there was no end in sight.

At the sight of the cornfield, the old Marquis of Latour dragged Jack back into the car by the back of his neck, and demanded that he change back into human form and Ethan and start dressing him.

Once Jack was dressed again, the cart slowly stopped in front of the gate of a manor surrounded by cornfields at their destination.

"What's ...... here?" Luna couldn't help but look at the old Marquis Latour as she sat in the car, looking at the heavy manor gate and the towering walls outside.

"Your Excellency. The car window was suddenly knocked on by a mediocre male in black clothes and black hair.

The old Marquis Latour shook his head at Luna, then rolled down the window, bowed slightly to the male, and said, "Sampson Strint is coming." ”

"Your Excellency, wait a minute. The black-clad and black-haired male did not show any surprise when he heard this, and it was evident that he had been told in advance, and bowed respectfully to the old Marquis of Latour, and then turned into a black crow and flew over the high wall.

Luna was shocked when she saw this, although she was used to seeing warriors returning from the Trials Forest in the royal court, but it was the first time she had seen such a person in an unnamed private estate, although it was only a raven orc, it was enough to shock her.

You know, she had heard her uncle tell her that the salary of hiring a warrior was enough to hire a dozen or twenty ordinary people.

The old Marquis Latour closed the window again, and when the heavy gate of the manor outside the car was slowly opened, and the beast cart was urged again, he said to Luna:

"Selling waiters is a very lucrative business, and although most nobles don't want to get involved in such a bloody business, anyone who can make this business big will basically be associated with a few or even a dozen nobles.

Like the owner of this manor, there are at least twenty percent of the attendants of the noble families in the royal city who buy them from her.

And the crow orc you just saw is just the lowest of the many warriors here. ”

This is also the reason why the old Marquis Latour had trouble sleeping and eating, and he had to send his daughter to the royal city to go to school, and he did not hesitate to spend several years to kill the whole family one by one.

Although these traffickers are doing dirty deeds that make the nobles despicable, every time they talk about it, some people loudly condemn them, saying that they are the cancer of the kingdom.

But only these people themselves know that behind the disdain, the nobles are inseparable from these dirty deeds, the servants are free people, loyalty cannot be guaranteed, only the waiters who hold life and death in their hands can make them feel at ease.

And the traffickers who hold a large number of attendants in their hands, while being despised by the nobles, on the other hand, earn considerable profits from the hands of the nobles, and hold a lot of money in their hands, even if they are just merchants, there are people who are willing to work for them.

Listening to the old marquis's explanation, Luna's brow furrowed slightly and looked out the window.

Through the trees on both sides of the road, she could see that there were many warehouse-like buildings in the distance, and in front of those warehouses, there were many figures, but compared to the green trees on both sides of the road, there was no shelter near the warehouses in the distance.

Behind the barn, there is a tall wall, and at the end of the wall, there is a tower like an arrow tower.

"Grandpa, isn't that a violation?" asked Luna, pointing to the tower.

As far as she knew, only the lords of various places, as well as the residences of members of the royal family, were allowed to be equipped with arrow towers.

"The law only allowed lords and royals to equip the four-cornered turret, which was circular and not tall enough. In some places, it will even be made into triangles or other shapes. And not only this manor, but also the manors of some other descendants of nobles, also have such buildings. The old Marquis Latour thought for a moment and said.

Luna got it, isn't this just a sideshow?

It is not the appearance of the arrow tower described in the law, even if its function is the arrow tower, but people say that it is a small pavilion for viewing, and they want to build it on a high place, and it makes sense to stand high and see far.

Of course, being able to be so justified and arrogant and arrogant also means that the owner of this kind of manor has a rather strong power or background, at least those sheriffs who walk outside have nothing to do with such people.

The beast cart slowly walked to the gate of the main building of the manor, and at this time there were already many servants, surrounded by a middle-aged female and three teenager-like, gorgeously dressed males.

As the beast cart stopped, the middle-aged female took the lead with a decent smile on her face, "My dear old friend Sampson, I haven't seen you for many years. ”
