691. The people of the town
"So you watched her tied to the black reef and lie in the sun in the scorching sun?"
Surdak asked, crouching beside Little Fat Joe, staring into his eyes.
The crowd in the square was still looking at the phantom behind Surdak, not all of them had never seen the world, obviously some people were also looking at Surdak with suspicion, feeling that this phantom was more like the 'potential' that Surdak had.
Those servants could also see that it was Surdak's 'potential', but they didn't have a chance to speak at all, and the little fat man Joe had already told the truth of the matter.
Little Fat Joe said with some trepidation: "I thought about bringing her water, but the person I sent was stopped by the guards. ”
He wanted to show Surdak that he still wanted to do something, and he raised his head in some fear as he watched the two-faced, four-armed demon god behind Surdak slowly disappear.
Several servants carefully protected Arlo and Joe, for fear that the baron would be angry and beat up his two young masters, and his expression was clearly holding back the anger in his heart.
Arlo. Goss glared at his brother fiercely, eager to kick him in the ass.
He didn't feel sorry for the vase, nor did he care about the truth of the matter, he just cared a little about what the townspeople thought of him, and he didn't want to make a mess in front of everyone.
He likes to see the humility and awe in the eyes of the aborigines, he likes to look at everyone with his eyes on the high, and he likes to watch those people obey his orders.
He even regretted that he hadn't been able to go to the knight academy to study hard for a few years, and if he could continue to persevere, maybe he would have become a knight with a sword and shield when he came out of the academy.
His younger brother Jo was not frightened, and confided the truth in front of Baron Surdak, and his face turned blue with anger.
Looking at his younger brother who was sitting on the ground crying and yielding in front of Surdak, his face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water.
The surrounding natives were even more agitated when they heard what had happened, and they were furious that the guards had locked people on the Black Reef without any investigation, and their gasps were a little heavy, and they tried to enclose Arlo and Joe, the four guards, and the two servants in the center.
The guards and servants struggled to control the situation, spears in their hands, and pushed out to resist the crowd, trying to open a way to get Arlo and Joe out.
Surdak glanced at Arlo and Joe, and no longer paid attention to the fact that the children of these two noble families were besieged by the natives, and treated the girl in Selena's arms in the crowd.
The girl was unconscious in Selena's arms, he squatted in front of the girl, stretched out his hands and condensed a ball of holy light power in front of his chest, the power of holy light was like a burning incandescent flame, so that the surrounding crowd almost did not dare to look directly, and the crowd let out a low cry.
With the slow infusion of the power of holy light, only Surdak and Selena, who was holding the girl, could really feel how different the girl's body was, she was like a transparent pure color crystal, the holy light poured into her body, like entering a vessel, and could no longer overflow from her body, she was born with a light attribute affinity.
The Holy Light was like a stream of heat, meeting the burns and sunburns on her body, all healing at an unimaginable rate.
And the girl's body is also thinning out some impurities, becoming more and more pure, and even a hot ball of light bursts out of her chest, and that kind of heat makes Surdak feel a strange warmth.
Hiding behind Selena, Signa secretly looked at the girl, her gaze became extremely sharp for a moment, and then her expression returned to normal.
Perhaps it was the sight of the holy light in Surdak's hands, and the aborigines of the square worshipped Surdak.
This frustrated Selena, and the group didn't even ask Surdak if he was a follower of Lady Liberty, believing that he was a battle priest from the temple, as if the temple had sent out the world to save the suffering people here.
With this appeal alone, the Goddess of Darkness cannot be matched for the time being.
……
Arlo and Joe were unable to break out of the crowd after all, and several of the guards were exhausted by the crowd and stood back to back, like a reef on the ocean that had been submerged by the waves.
Arlo and Joe, because of their more noble status, did not dare to do anything to them, but only trapped them in place, and at this time began to worship Surdak, and no one paid attention to them.
Arlo. Goss looked at Surdak with a shocked look on his face when he saw the light in his palm.
Because the glow that appeared in Surdak's hand, whether it was magic or divine magic, meant his noble status, although he was the son of a baron, he was not arrogant enough to be the enemy of a priest.
Arlo. Goss looked at Surdak with a gloomy face, unwilling to say anything more.
Probably seeing the chaos on this side, there were already two infantry squads rushing towards the garrison camp in the distance.
Surdak straightened up, turned to the little fat Joe, and said with a serious face:
"Because of your personal fault, but let her suffer such an ordeal, such unfair treatment, according to the laws of the Green Empire, you need to be punished or compensated, I think you must not want to be whipped, then compensate her with some money."
Surdak felt that letting the little fat man take two whips would not solve any problems, but would instead accumulate more resentment in his heart.
He will eventually leave this town, the Goss family has the absolute right to speak in the town, and no one can stop them from going to trouble the mother and daughter afterwards.
He wondered if he wanted to be a notary to the consul of the town and settle the matter directly.
At this moment, the man who had just hugged Arlo. Goss, who had begged and begged but was forcibly dragged away by the guards, squeezed in again, her face was bruised and purple, but she didn't look in much pain, she stepped forward and took the girl Nika in her arms, and whispered and said:
"We don't want Young Master Arlo's compensation, we just want to ask Young Master Arlo to let Nika go!"
Her voice trembled a little, and she was even more sad, she was so humble and pitiful, but her lowly status did not diminish the maternal love in her.
She turned her head to look at Surdak's eyes, as if she was looking at the last straw, she didn't dare to go too far, for fear that Surdak would leave without hesitation.
I'm afraid that at this moment, she didn't even understand why Surdak would stand up.
In her heart, according to the past practice, she would only think like this:
'Isn't he an Imperial?' Aren't they all together? How could he stand up for himself? ’
She examined herself, her skin was dark, scorched and dry, and she looked at Nika in her arms, her body was as thin as firewood, even if she amputated her limbs and sold meat, she didn't have much catty......
She thought, how could a nobleman like Surdak lack slaves?
Surdak was also more happy that they would give up the so-called compensation, at least that would save them some trouble.
"If you don't need compensation, you can go home, Arlo. Master Goss, what do you think? "To Arlo, who was in the crowd. Goss and Joe. The two noble sons of Goss asked.
Although the two groups of garrison infantry had already arrived in the square and began to drive away the aborigines with the clubs in their hands, Arlo knew that these infantry did not dare to make a move against Surdak, so he glared fiercely at the little fat man Joe, and said to the servant beside him:
"Let's go!"
After speaking, he took advantage of the chaos to lead people out of the town square.
The four guards who were in charge of the girl Nika, as if they had seen relatives, grabbed the captain of the garrison infantry and pointed out the rudeness of these natives to him.
These garrison infantry did not want to listen to the complaints of the guards at all, they just habitually picked up the sticks in their hands, rushed into the crowd to drive the crowd together, these aborigines did not dare to have any resistance, they were some people at the bottom of the society who were oppressed, after a few sticks, they were forced to flee in all directions, quickly left the town square, almost did not even have the courage to argue.
After all, the owners of this town are the Imperials who are constantly oppressing the natives and rapidly accumulating wealth.
Then again, Surdak is actually one of them.
He came to the White Forest Plane, and even went to explore those unoccupied areas and gain some territory of his own.
The garrison infantry was driving the crowd, and several Surdak stood in the square like air, and some people ran around Surdak, wailing, roaring, invective, and laughing from time to time...... In front of Surdak, everything in front of him was like a stage play in which he was not a participant.
"Hey, you've offended the people of the Goss family, don't you still want to visit Baron Goss and buy him some Gubolai horses? Now what? ”
Selena watched as the aboriginal women took advantage of the chaos to take their daughter, turned around and stroked her long hair that was scattered, and asked Surdak.
Surdak picked up Signa with one hand, clamped it under her armpit, and pulled Selena out of the chaotic square, while saying:
"Then forget it, if you can't buy it, you can't buy it, and you don't have to buy it."
With that, the group walked towards the town.
Now that he has come to Kieran, Surdak wants to see what local products are available in the town, and wants to buy something that he has never eaten or seen before.
You can also buy some of the unique food here and bring it to the cavalry in the barracks to taste.
He wasn't familiar with the town, but that didn't stop him from wandering around, and with a guide by his side, he started talking to him about what he could buy......
……
The Goss family's ranch estate on the shores of Lake Bailin, the largest of the Goss family's many ranches.
The fertile meadows here are ideal for grazing Gubolai horses, and there are eleven herds of horses on the pasture, each with hundreds of Gubolai horses, which also means that with the Gubolai horses raised in this pasture alone, the Goss family can quickly and gradually ten cavalry battalions.
The Goss family is a well-known family in the province of Bena, and the wealth accumulated over dozens of generations has been passed on to future generations.
Although there has been no outstanding leader in the family, the family business has been run very well, whether it is the Bailin plane, the maca plane, or the ganbu plane, there is the land of the Goss family, and even in Handanaar County in the Warsaw plane, the Goss family also has an industry there.
Merlin. Baron Goss was lying on the chaise longue, he was a side branch of the Goss family, and in his generation, that blood relationship had almost faded to the limit, but he still had a place in the Goss family with this ranch.
His family has been the steward of the White Forest Plane Ranch for generations, where his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather have managed the ranch, and every three years, the ranch sends a batch of high-quality Gubolian horses to Bena City, which is also his greatest contribution to the Goss family.
It was also his mastery of ranch management, so his position was never replaced by other members of the Goss family.
The owner of the horse farm is actually a fat poor, especially after the outbreak of the plane war, in the past two years, the price of a high-quality Gubolai war horse is basically more than twenty gold, in addition to the excellent war horses that must be provided to the Goss family, some Gubolai horses will also flow into the hands of horse dealers, as long as he can ensure a stable output, no one will investigate the specific number of Gubolai horses.
Although the town of Kieran on the White Forest plane is in the middle of nowhere, and even those street girls in the town will not change much for decades, but this is a good place to make money, Merlin. Recently, Baron Goss is still thinking about taking advantage of the frequent wars in the plane, whether to buy some more military merits and promote his second-class baron to another level.
He likes to lie on a wicker chair in the yard and bask in the sun, drink cool watermelon juice, and listen to the sound of the waves crashing against the fine sand on the shore by the lake, and can sleep until sunset.
Arlo and Joe ran back to the manor and ran to Merlin. Baron Goss, who did not dare to hide the truth of the matter, told Merlin what happened in the town square. Baron Goss, immediately reminded Merlin. Baron Goss's rage.
A baron who led a cavalry battalion passing through this place actually didn't give face to the Goss family......
Merlin. Baron Goss slammed the rattan chair, sat up from the chair, and scolded angrily: "He is a foreign nobleman, why dare he be so rude to the people of the Goss family!" ”
"Where are the others? Wait until I'm going to go to Captain Upper Langdon and Archon Alec and get him to have a good theory. ”
Baron Goss said as he asked the maid to prepare the noble dress and prepare to go out.
"What else do you have besides that herd?"
Baroness Goss, who rushed over after hearing the news, hurriedly stopped her husband and asked him.
"You know the background of the baron who passed by here with a cavalry battalion, just now when I was having afternoon tea with Baroness Langdon, I heard that he was the garrison of the Luther Legion who came to change the guard of the White Forest Plane...... In other words, the Langdon family's heavy infantry regiment is about to be transferred out of the Bailin plane, and in the next period of time, the Luther Legion will be stationed here, and you don't want to have a good relationship with the local garrison, but also ask him, why do you want to bully your two sons? ”
The baroness's series of words were like a heavy hammer, hammering down into Baron Goss's heart, instantly knocking out the anger in his heart and making him sit on the wicker chair again.
"I heard that the Luther Legion is one of the most powerful legions in Bena Province, and their arrival at the Bailin Plane is destined to open up the situation here, do you want to be just a baron for the rest of your life?" The baroness pursed her lips and asked, looking at her husband, who was sitting on a wicker chair with a blushing face.
Her eyes glanced at her husband again, and there was a hint of a hunter's desire for prey hidden in her eyebrows, her lips raised slightly, and said, "Otherwise, I'll go and contact first, I heard that they are going to Kieran Town, what are their needs, maybe we can make some deals with him......"
