The torrential rain, which lasted for half a month, finally stopped pouring during the night, and the next morning, the dark clouds covered the sky, and the bright red sun hung on the tips for a long time. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, the stagnation of the torrential rain did not let the floodwaters recede immediately, adjacent to the Onyx River, most of the buildings in the Lukang city are still immersed in the flood at this time, and only the castle manor built on the hillside and high ground can be an exception.

The Baronial Palace of Garth is one of these exceptions.

As a military nobleman, Baron Garth has a fief, coupled with the strong strength of the Mithril knight, the baron has always been the core person of Lukang City, so even Viscount Warren, the lord of Lukang, has to respect him for three points, and then focus on seven points.

The Baron's mansion in Lukang City was given to him by Viscount Warren more than ten years ago when he received the title, and it is adjacent to the Viscount's Castle and is located in the most central area of Lukang City.

"Jiani, you go to find Rowan, and then ask him to notify the others, so that they can come to the mansion every evening to report the situation and receive another day's rations. Also, tell them that I have sent Captain Brand back to Aberdore first, and that their families will be given priority care so that they can settle down and return to visit them in batches when the flood waters have receded. ”

Baron Garth's mansion, study, a dark-haired boy frowned slightly on a chair, and behind him was a tall, long-legged ponytail girl.

The young man's face was faintly pale, his hands and legs were thin, and he was very thin, but unlike the thinness of his body, his blue eyes were extraordinarily bright.

The girl is vigorous and capable, with leather armor, a thin sword, and a thick cocoon in her palm, all of which show that she has received special swordsmanship training.

"Young Master, Uncle Brand has been sent back to town by you, and I must always be by your side to keep you safe. The girl's name was solemn.

"The garrison is already maintaining order outside, not to mention that this place is adjacent to the Viscount's Castle, and no matter how chaotic it is, it will not affect this side. The black-haired boy shook his head and smiled, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows stretched slightly, "Rowan and the nine of them, related to my first attempt, although this flood disrupted everything, it was not an opportunity at the beginning, and it was not easy to find someone you could trust to replace them in a hurry." Go, your young master doesn't want to really respond to the secret ridicule of those people, and go to be a rice worm with peace of mind. ”

Rice worms!

Jiani naturally knew what the young master's self-deprecation meant.

The Duchy of Raymond was one of the three major principalities of the Flemish Kingdom, along with the Duchy of Baden and Ternisiva, and was the first line of defense against the Norman invasion of the Flannish Kingdom.

The frequent wars naturally affected the atmosphere of the principality, especially the atmosphere of the aristocracy.

The nobility of the principality is still martial, and the children of the nobility rarely do not practice swords.

As the first heir to the title of Baron Garth, if it were normal, Young Master Said should have started practicing swordsmanship and even the baron's secret arts, but ......

Jani's heart darkened for a moment.

Maybe it's because of the congenital reasons, Young Master Said has been weak since he was a child, and if he exercises a little, he will soon be weak, let alone practicing swordsmanship, and he can't even participate in slightly more strenuous activities.

Not only that, but Young Master Said was also born with a big appetite, and his appetite was far beyond that of ordinary people, almost catching up with the most powerful warriors of the Baron Knights.

It is precisely for this reason that in the Lukang aristocratic circle, many people regard Young Master Said as a "rice worm" in private exchanges, and even think that the young master is not qualified to be the heir to the baronial title at all.

"Young Master, you will definitely succeed. ”

"You can't hold a sword, I'm your sword. ”

Jiani muttered in her heart, as Young Master Said's personal maid, she is the person that Young Master trusts the most, and she even understands Young Master Said better than Lord Baroness and Baroness.

It is impossible to practice swords, it is impossible to become a warrior, let alone a knight, but the young master has never given up, he has never succumbed to reality and become a "rice worm".

In order to find out the reason for the body, if the medical books that the young master has read are piled up, I am afraid that they will be higher than people.

The young master also read through literature, taught himself mathematics, took care of miscellaneous studies, and even paid attention to secret arts.

Although Jiani's swordsmanship training was instructed by Captain Brand Guard, her physical training methods and secret sword skills were from Young Master Said, who specially selected them for her from the Baron's collection.

When others were practicing swords, the young master was reading a book.

While others were resting, the young master was reading.

While others were having fun and enjoying themselves, the young master was still reading and thinking.

In Jiani's eyes, in addition to the absence of force, the young master was more knowledgeable and far-sighted than anyone, even the baron.

As for the young master's only weakness in force...... She is the young master's sword, and she will do her best to make up for this weakness for the young master.

"Luo Wen, they are the first step after the young master walks out of the barony, under the premise of the young master's safety, it is better to keep their hearts......"

After a moment of silence, Jiani restrained his sudden thoughts, but there was still a little advice on his pretty face: "Young master, I will go back quickly, and you must not go out alone during this period." After the flood, there was chaos everywhere in the city, and although there were garrisons outside to maintain order, there were always omissions. ”

Syd is not good at walking, he has always handed over to Jiani to do any errands, and if he really wants to let Syd go out by himself, he may not be able to find the place where Rowan and others stay.

"Go ahead. Said smiled helplessly, and lifted the unfinished book on the table.

With a book in hand, even if he sits all day, he can calm his mind.

Jani understood, so she withdrew, and closed the door again.

The study returned to silence.

"The rebellion of the principality is inevitable. ”

"I just don't know what the situation will be on the Lüneburg side. If Lüneburg was also affected by this great flood......"

Putting down the book, Syd closed his eyes with a slight frown, and shrank back into his chair, thinking about something without stopping, and after a long time, he sighed.

The war between the principality and the Normans has been going on for almost half a year, and the counties of the principality have been in turmoil, not to mention the troubles of the Norman spies, just the soaring prices of various materials, especially food, have made the counties of the principality tense their nerves.

The world is big, and the food is the biggest.

If you can't eat even the worst black bread, and you don't need the Normans to call you, there will be chaos in the principality.

There was no doubt that the flood would exacerbate all this, and Seid was already able to foresee the coming revolt of the fast-stomached, which in turn would have had a direct impact on the Lüneburg front......

Seid was already pessimistic about the situation of the war, he was powerless to prevent the coming chaos, he did not have the ability to persuade the aristocratic and rich merchants to divide the grain, to lower the price of food, so that the farmers and the poor could live, just as he himself had already hoarded a large amount of supplies, and the barony Aberdor's side hoarded even more, but he did not dare to lower the price of grain at will, let alone suppress it.

However, although turmoil is inevitable, with the presence of heavily armed garrisons, Lukang City is not out of control for the time being.

The first wave of unrest should be in various villages and towns.

It was in anticipation of this that as soon as the rainstorm stopped, Seid sent Brand and the others back to Abertor as soon as possible.

The Baron had led the army to reinforce Lüneburg a few months ago, and Abertor was only left with the militia, as a former member of the Knights under the Baron's command, he had followed the Baron to make great achievements, and even if Brand and his men had retired, they were still considered elite.

With their return, Syd's mother, Lady Dinah, has plenty of room to hold on to her territory or retreat into Lukang City.

"...... of unrest"

"It's also an opportunity ......"

"The formation of the intelligence network can be accelerated!"

Without dwelling too much in pessimism, Seid was powerless to shake the big picture, but he could speed up the realization of his original plan.

He has enough food in his hands, as well as those people who have been brought out of the town and arranged for them a long time ago, as long as they are operated properly, he is confident that he can take advantage of this wave of chaos to really spread the intelligence network.

"If every nobleman, every rich businessman, every underground force, their every move is under my eyes...... Even if I don't have the power to kill chickens, I can still control their fate!"

"Starting from the ground floor, it gradually infiltrates every corner of Lukang and then continues outward...... It all starts today!"

As Syd brood, time flowed slowly.

Suddenly, there was a small sound of footsteps outside the door, and then there was a knock on the door.

"Young Master, your morning. ”

A girl's voice.

Said had a big stomach and had to use it twice a day to get hungry.

"Come in. ”

Open your eyes, open the book, and Sade reads the book.

Then a maid in her twenties pushed open the door and brought Seid a large glass of milk and two large slices of bread.

The milk was steaming hot, apparently freshly warmed.

Said picked up the cup, blew on it, and took a small sip.

A wisp of bitterness!

And, déjà vu, it should have been when he had tasted this bitterness!

Be......

In the depths of his eyes, his pupils shrank suddenly, and then returned to his original state, with a slight dissatisfaction on his face, and Syd looked at the maid: "Mary, why is the milk a little bitter today...... Did you forget the sugar?"

The maid was obviously a little nervous, as soon as Syd spoke, her expression changed, revealing some panic, and when she heard the second half of the sentence, she reluctantly suppressed the chaos, lowered her head and hurriedly replied: "It may be that there is too little, and the milk is also stored in the warehouse, not too fresh." ”

"Yes, it would be nice to have milk now. Seid's face did not move, his gaze turned back to the book, and he casually instructed, "Let Old Fink prepare another lamb chop." ”

With that, he took another sip of hot milk, then put down his cup and took a slice of bread.

"Okay, young master. Mary's maid peeked at her, and she withdrew from the study.

Behind him, Seid's gaze darkened.
