，

After a while, Baldo came to the door with the ox cart.

Lorraine came out of the room, looked up, and was stunned for a moment.

I saw that a large number of people had gathered at the door, and it was obvious that they also knew the news of the dragon's attack. One person's face was gloomy, and he was all worried.

The old village chief walked out of the crowd with a slight trembling crutche.

He smiled reluctantly and said, "Sir, you ......"

Lorraine waved his hand and said, "Needless to say, it is my responsibility as a lord to guard the safety of the territory and its inhabitants. Isn't there a proverb that even if a chicken is caught by a fox in the village, the lord and nobles should be held responsible. ”

When the old village chief heard this, he looked at Lorraine in a daze for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "Good, good, good." Fight for justice and justice, against the injustice and evil of the world. Even if you sacrifice your life, this is the true character of the noble Longyacao family. ”

He stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then said, "I won't say anything else, just sir, if it is useful to us, you can just say it." There was nothing else in the village, but there were still a lot of stick boys. Let them all go with you. When the time comes, there will be a fight, and there will be a response. ”

Lorraine glanced up behind him, and saw dozens of young and strong young men standing behind the old village chief, holding straw forks, wooden sticks, kitchen knives and other cheap and sufficient weapons of mass killing.

The thought of following this obviously brainless Earl to slay dragons and achieve a great legend, many of them didn't know whether they were excited or afraid, and their whole bodies trembled.

But none of them took half a step back~!

Although they knew that they would probably never come back, none of them took a step back, but clenched the weapons in their hands. Because they know very well that they are doing this to defend their parents, wives and children, and to defend their homeland from being ravaged by the evil dragon.

A breeze blew, and a woman's sobs could be heard faintly from behind the crowd.

The village chief shook the cane in his hand, turned around, and shouted angrily: "Cry, cry, cry what are you crying~! Don't show your eyes here. The lord is going to kill that evil dragon regardless of his own safety, are the men in our village all bastards who only hide behind others?"

The sobs sobbed twice, and gradually subsided.

Lorraine looked at the young men, who had been darkened by years of toil and had calluses on their hands. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and waved his hand, and said, "Let's disperse, what should you do." ”

The old village chief was stunned for a moment, his eyes immediately turned red, and he said angrily: "Sir, what do you mean by this?

Lorraine sighed and said, "Old village chief, it's not that I underestimate them. You also understand my difficulties. So many people sent it to me, and they didn't wait for the dragon to come and ask for money. Just taking care of the food, I will eat the young master and go bankrupt. ”

The old village chief grinned and stumbled, "Sir, when is this, don't play." ”

Lorraine said seriously: "It's not play, I mean really. And look back, do they use swords, guns, bows and arrows? I'm not going to cut wheat and feed the pigs, I'm going to slay dragons. It's not that more people can win. ”

The old village chief thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and said, "But ......"

Lorraine smiled: "It's nothing, you can rest assured." It's just a matter of slaughtering a dragon, it's not a big deal. I'll do it alone. ”

"Really?" the old village chief couldn't help but be suspicious when he looked at Lorraine's confident face. muttered, "That...... Sir, can you tell me what you are going to do? ”

Lorraine smiled, then leaned over and whispered in the old village chief's ear, "I sue you, but don't sue anyone else." This is my personal top secret. I've never sued anyone else. ”

The old village chief couldn't help but be shocked, and when he thought that the young master actually told him his personal secrets, he couldn't help but feel relieved. smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face turned into a flower, and he said in a loud voice: "Yes, yes, yes." I will never sue anyone. Young master, you say, you say. ”

Lorraine coughed lightly, and then said expressionlessly: "Young Master, I have practiced the eighteenth layer realm of the Great Shift of Qiankun, and learned the ultimate meaning of it-the eighteen palms of the dragon, and when the time comes, I will slap that dragon to death." ”

After saying that, he turned around and jumped into the ox cart, patted Baldo on the shoulder, and said, "Boy, don't hurry up and give me a ride." ”

Baldo did not dare to slack off, hurriedly agreed, and then with a wave of his whip, drove the ox cart forward.

The old village chief took two steps, followed the ox cart, and said in a mournful voice: "Young master, young master." Don't you have anything for us to do? Even a little. ”

Lorraine tilted his head and thought for a moment, motioned for Baldo to stop the car, and then said to the old village chief, "It's not for nothing to say what to do. ”

The old village chief hurriedly said, "Okay, you say, you hurry up." Whatever it is, we'll do it. ”

Lorraine turned his head, looked at everyone seriously, and said seriously: "In the future, when everyone pays me rent, don't think about pitting people." Fool me with some stale sesame seeds and rotten grain, eating too much of those things really hurts my stomach. ”

Everyone was ashamed. They all said with a red face: "Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry." In the future, we will no longer fool people. ”

"The same cannot be said. Lorraine sighed and said, "In the future, if the tax collector comes, everyone will have to cheat, and they will have to cry if they are poor." We're going to have to live a good life, aren't we?"

After listening to Lorraine's words, everyone felt that they had really spoken to their hearts, and they all surrendered, and said, "Yes, yes, yes." Sir, you have a point. ”

××××××××××××××××××××××××××

Lorraine Fort sits on the banks of a river and is made entirely of rough black stone. The river takes on a huge zigzag shape, bypassing the castle and enclosing almost the entire castle, forming a natural moat.

It is said that this castle was built after the Lorraine family was relegated to this place to guard against bandits. But even if this is the case, it has been many years old, and the surface of the boulders on the castle has been weathered in many places, and even the Longya grass family crest carved on the front wall is mottled and full of historical vicissitudes.

Because the owner of the castle was still ambitious and dreamed of returning to the prosperous city of Jouman, and did not pay much attention to it, the castle was built in a very humble way.

In the following generations, the owners also gave up the renovation and decoration because of the gradual decay and lack of money in their hands. And so it has been passed down from generation to generation. Walking around, and even casually, you can see the monuments left over from hundreds of years ago.

Although it is not said to be airy on all sides, it is at best a defensive military fortress and is not very suitable for habitation. When the weather is cloudy, the castle becomes unusually humid, which makes the current head of the house very angry.

Lorraine and the two drove the ox cart back to their castle.

The fire in the castle had been extinguished, but the charred wood still rose from time to time with puffs of green smoke, revealing a bleak scene.

Lorraine took a brief look and found that although it looked miserable, it was only a broken stable, and the damage was not great. And no one was hurt, and I was immediately relieved.

He patted his chest with relief, and secretly said in his heart: It is a great fortune in misfortune that he does not have to pay for medicine from his thin wallet.

He comforted the crowd for a few words, and then commanded a dozen people in the castle to clean up the mess together.

While working, he lamented the bitterness of his life, but he was a nobleman with good taste, but he didn't have time to grieve for a while, and it was impossible to learn from the Italian one who was the same and got a room full of swimsuit models and beauties to comfort his still young heart.

This is the life of the poor. Even if the dragon comes, so what? As long as the sun rises tomorrow and the world is not destroyed, everyone will still have to live, and they will have to live, and they will have to live, clothe, and eat.

It wasn't a big deal, but it was trivial, and Lorraine was busy until dusk, when she finished her work.

He returned to his room exhausted, before he could catch his breath. Just then, Fello knocked on the door and walked in.

He came to Lorraine's side and hesitated, but put down his words to make sure that the young lord was not impulsive. In the end, he asked softly, "Sir, are you really going to slay the dragon?"

Lorraine looked at him in amazement, and said, "Ferro, why is your memory so bad now? I just said it at noon, have you forgotten it?" I think it is necessary for me to think about whether it is time to change the housekeeper. ”

The corners of Ferro's mouth twitched a few times, and he said calmly, "No, sir." I've always had a good memory. For example, on the 13th of last month, you said that you would take one day off every five days of work in the future, but you have never seen it implemented. At the beginning of this month, you said that you would give us a salary increase, but so far, you have not seen a copper plate increase. And ......"

Lorraine shuddered, hurriedly raised her arm, looked at her bare wrist, pretended to be wearing a Rolex gold suit with an attack power of fifteen that is unique to successful people with a nouveau riche household, and snorted: "Yo, it's so late." It's almost time for dinner, isn't it......?"

Ferro smiled slightly, and continued: "There is a proverb that says: The reason why a wise man is a wise man is because he must ask three times when he decides to take matters seriously. Sir, let me ask one last time, are you sure you really want to slay the dragon?"

Lorraine sighed and said, "Of course this is true. Sir, when did I tell a lie? ”

Ferro bowed and said calmly: "Sir, since you have decided to go to slay the dragon, I have prepared some things, do you think it is suitable?"
