Quiefdom of the Marquess of Dickens, Eastern Suburbs Forest.

Hodge rode a dark black steed, armed with a large dark brown bow and full of bowstrings, aiming at a wild wolf that was hunting red deer not far away.

Several male servants on horseback around them held their breath and did not dare to pant for breath, for fear of affecting Hodge's archery.

The next moment, Hodge released the bowstring.

"Whoosh!"

The silver-white arrows shot out and hit the wolf directly in the back.

The wolf was suddenly hit hard, his body stiffened slightly, he stumbled back a small step, and collapsed, completely losing his life.

"Okay, young master, it's amazing!"

"One blow hits the vital point, the young master is really powerful, he is stronger than the most experienced hunter in the village!"

"yes, yes."

The male servants hurriedly opened their mouths to praise, and used their pitiful words to frantically kneel and lick Hodge, hoping to please the young master, improve their status, and increase their weekly salary.

These valets who accompanied Hodge on the hunt were basically second-class valets, and their weekly salary was 1 pound 5 sul, and their personal maid Anna was one-third.

The servants of the Marquis's Mansion were divided into three classes, and the lowest-class maids and male servants could only do the lowest cleaning work, and were not even allowed to enter the master's study, living room, meeting room and other important places, and could only clean up the halls, gardens and other public areas, and their weekly salary was roughly around 16 süle, which was higher than the average of the commoner class of the Salom Empire.

Further up were the second-class servants, who were allowed to approach their masters, and could do things such as feeding horses, cleaning the living room, accompanying their masters on hunting, etc., and their weekly wages were set at 1 gold pound 5 soles.

Then there were the first-class servants, who were almost all engaged in important work in the mansion, including cooks, gardeners, arranging the earthly dragon carriages, and helping their masters to procure certain supplies, and were generally paid more than two pounds a week.

And Hodge's maid Anna, as a personal maid, is paid more than a first-class servant, almost worse than the big butler Varta.

Hodge naturally knew the intentions of these servants, and if it were normal, he would definitely be perfunctory, but today, he really didn't feel that way.

"Go, bring the wolf's carcass."

Hearing Hodge's command, a manservant hurriedly rode his horse and ran over.

The surrounding manservants suddenly felt pity, and felt that they had missed the opportunity to please the young master.

Hodge watched the man's movements, and silently estimated the time in his heart: It should be almost, my father knows that I took the manservants to hunt in the eastern suburbs of the forest, and today he asked about the Eternal Demon Sect unusually, for my safety, he will definitely send the strong people in the mansion to protect me secretly.

Hodge took a gold-shelled pocket watch from his bosom and glanced at the time.

【9:19】

After another 15 minutes, I will be rerouted to Huodu Village...... Hodge thought silently, and put away the gold-shelled pocket watch.

Huodu Village is the place where the Knights are stationed.

……

Half an hour later, surrounded by the male servants, Hodge arrived at Huodu Village with the prey he had hunted.

As soon as he entered the village, he was greeted by a tall and rugged man in Western-style armor.

The man is tall, more than 1.9 meters, dark green eyes, brown and yellow hair, slightly curly, deep facial lines, sunken eyes, and a gutter nose, giving people a not very sunny feeling.

"I've seen the young master." The man made a knightly salute, his voice a little hoarse.

This person seems to feel a little uncomfortable...... Hodge thought so in his heart, but there was not the slightest strangeness on his face, and said, "Hmm." ”

"Young master, please."

The man's attitude was not bad, but Hodge still felt uncomfortable, and this preconceived intuition was strange.

Hodge rode forward, slightly overtaking some of the men, toward the center of the village.

Hodge looked ahead and asked, "What do you call it?" ”

"Young Master, my name is O'Neill Thomas, and I am one of the two knights of the Huodu Village Cavalry Regiment and the first person in charge of the entire Cavalry Regiment." O'Neill seemed to know that Hodge didn't know about the cavalry regiment, so he deliberately added the second half of the sentence to identify himself.

"Tell me about the cavalry regiment." Hodge kept the aristocratic cold, didn't go around in circles, and asked directly.

"Yes." O'Neill bowed his head slightly and explained: "The Huodu Village Cavalry Regiment, equipped with spears, long swords, compound bows, mechanical bows and crossbows and other equipment, has a number of 5,149 people, all of them are in place, and you can review them at any time. ”

"The cavalry regiment, headed by two knights, a magician, two men and a woman, and in addition to me, another knight, named Besimo Wilbur, a female magician, her name is Russell Hazel."

Two knights, one sorceress?

Hodge squinted slightly, and after a little consideration, he said: "I came here today, mainly to meet a few of you in charge, get to know each other, and explain things by the way, you bring the other two to find me." ”

"Also, now help arrange a room, I'm going to take a break."

"Yes." O'Neill replied respectfully.

……

Huodu Village, one of the best houses.

"Leave the wolf here, and you can go out." Hodge reached out, pointed to the ground, and commanded.

"Yes." The valets lowered the wolf to the ground and saluted away.

"No one will come near here without my orders." Hodge replied, motioning for the valets to stay away.

"Yes, young master."

The male servants outside the door hurriedly left and walked to the courtyard of the private house.

Hodge looked at the room, with its slightly old tiled floors, stone-stacked walls, rusty glass windows, a long table, a chair, and a large bed with two clean blankets on it.

It's simple, it's old, and there's a faint musty smell in the air.

This environment is very different from the furnishings and environment in the Marquis's mansion.

"The living environment of the people is still quite difficult." Hodge sighed, he was glad that he was reincarnated as the heir of a noble family, if he became a commoner, he might not even be able to afford such a brick house, and it was estimated that the grass house was his home.

When Hodge first entered the village, he saw a lot of straw houses, and also saw many houses that had fallen into disrepair and were about to collapse.

"In all ages, there are people who are in distress."

After a sigh, Hodge collected his thoughts, took out the silver key from his pocket, and with a stroke of his mind, turned it into a bone wine glass.

Hodge took the bone wine glass and looked back at the wolf carcass on the ground.

"When I was hunting the wolf just now, the blood cup showed a certain emotion of longing, according to the sea of blood, it is very likely that this extraordinary item feeds on blood, since it is thirsty, you might as well try it."

At this thought, Hodge silently placed the bone wine glass on the wolf's corpse, waiting for the bone wine glass to change.

Time passed minute by minute, and the white bone wine glass was gradually dyed with a trace of scarlet blood, as if the blood was rendered, bright red......
