Chapter 527: Aftermath
The crane on Baishi Mountain was still in place, and after the slave arresting team lowered the rope a few times, the thick hemp rope tied the hands and feet of the fugitive slaves, and lowered them one by one.
The slaves who stayed in the shantytown could not sleep peacefully, and when they saw that their escaped companions were brought back by the police officers of the slave team, many of the animals finally felt at ease and fell asleep, believing that everything would return to normal, and at the same time they would no longer have to worry about whether the cruel aristocratic lord would pour out his anger on everyone tomorrow, after all, it was not without precedent.
The police and fugitive slaves were sent down, and finally it was the turn of loyal human companions such as warhorses and wolfhounds, and the eyepatch-wearing foal was not too panicked because he had had the same experience before. The wolfhound behaved better, and seemed to like the feeling of hanging in the air and slowly descending, even if its limbs fell to the ground, it still did not move for a long time, which immediately provoked a burst of good-natured laughter from the surrounding police officers.
Instead of riding on a safer crane, he grabbed the hemp rope with both hands, stepped on the steep rock wall with his feet, and walked slowly and methodically with his body in a position parallel to the ground.
The police officer holding the torch couldn't help but rub his eyes, it was already very surprising that Young Master Yan was alone before, and climbed to the top of Baishi Mountain without protection, he never expected that when he returned the same way, he could be so relaxed and comfortable, and the almost vertical cliffs seemed to him to be like flat ground.
In the eyes of the members of the slave hunting team, they showed basic respect for this noble young master who was only hindered by the gap in their identities, but after tonight's hunt for fugitive slaves, everyone admired the embarrassment.
Young Master, please take our knees.
Finally, it was the turn of Daniel Loslin, the leader of the slave trapping team, who dismantled the improvised crane by himself, adjusted the rope that bound him to the pillar slightly, opened the dead knot and re-knotted it, and then carried the full crane on his own and descended by rope.
The hunt for fugitives tonight was a success, and the biggest contributor was undoubtedly Grace Lotlin, and Daniel, as a cousin, had no intention of stealing the limelight, as he had to put himself in his place, at least until Grace came of age.
As for the future, this magical little cousin has a great chance of living alone, a free man who is separated from the Lothlin Manor, no matter how great his ability and talent, how much connection does he have with Daniel, the leader of the slave catchers?
Remembering a good business that his cousin had said at dinner not long ago, Daniel Lotlyn couldn't help but laugh at the extra profit from the resale of the feed, a month's share, the corn pulled out of the mouths of hundreds of animals in the Lorslin Manor, the amount was so small that it was only a handful!
In the end, it wasn't for nothing that I was cheapened!
Daniel Loslin's heart was already happy to think that his shriveled purse would be full, but on the surface he still had to pretend to be casual, which was a bit difficult for the manor nobles who were not deep enough in the city.
The news of the successful return of the slave hunters from hunting the fugitives soon reached the ears of the lord of the manor, Elon Roslin waved his hand lightly, and the henchman who had come to pay his respects immediately bowed his hand and quickly turned and retreated.
When there were no outsiders around, the lord of the manor secretly breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted the light of the magic lamp slightly, and watched the fire elementals that gradually warmed up and became active swarm, approaching the range of the light, licking the red light that gradually became thicker, activating the basic elements that make up the body.
It's a pity that the magic array engraved on the base of the magic element lamp noticed the increase in the concentration of magic essence around it, and suddenly emitted a wave of attraction, and immediately forcibly dragged all the nearby fire elements over, transforming into glowing "lamp oil" in the interlocking magic array.
Elon Roslin has a unique vision, and can clearly see that the originally free fire elemental is like a moth to a flame, constantly converging, filling the consumption of the magic lamp, and maintaining the normal operation of this magic tool.
"Orc slaves are what sustain and thrive the Manor of Lotlyn, as coal is to a furnace, essential at all times. In tonight's hunt for fugitive slaves, the person who has the greatest credit is not Daniel, a good hunter who is in the company of dogs, but the inconspicuous Embarrassment who has never been in the background! What an unexpected surprise! My youngest son has endured it for so many years, and finally when he is still a month away from adulthood, he can't help but show his true face. ”
The lord of the manor was vaguely aware of his youngest son's thoughts, but he couldn't be sure if this was his true attitude, or if he had deliberately released a balloon to find a better position to test the direction of the wind.
It has to be said that the primogeniture system of the southern aristocracy, the winner-takes-all normal, blocked the way of many other children with special talents.
If it weren't for the obstacles ahead, what reason would the magician have to rise? It wasn't for the widespread public opinion of the aristocratic circles that countless members of the aristocracy who had the talent for spell-casting but had no right to inherit the family business, burning themselves one after another, so that they could evolve a promising profession into a powerful class that a pure-blood nobleman had to face.
Elon Roslin looked at the youngest son who suddenly appeared with the eyes of a passerby, and estimated that he wanted to follow the path of a magician, after all, he was his own son, and the manor owner had to be impressed by the ten-year forbearance since he became sensible.
More importantly, Elon Lotlyn was relieved that he was able to bring out the fugitive slaves under the nose of the King of the Forest, and it is said that he was still facing them, without discarding the dignity and face of the nobles.
If he hadn't chosen to pioneer on the frontier at the beginning, how could he have the courage to live next to legendary creatures in the current Lotlyn Manor, which is not something that ordinary nobles can have.
This also allowed the poor and declining Lotlyn family to rise to prominence, attracting relatives who had faded into freemen, and it was because of the large enough population and slaves that Elon Roslin was finally recognized by the public and was made a baron, and even returned to the aristocratic ranks.
The eldest son Wren was born and suffered from wind and frost, and the youngest son was soaked in the honey pot, but the courage of the bloodline inheritance has not declined in the slightest, this little wolf cub is like the heir of the old nobles, good at hiding his true thoughts, enduring the sound of the outside world for a long time, silently accumulating wisdom and strength, and finally bursting out when the opportunity comes.
In other words, in Elon Lotrin's mind, Grace is a more suitable heir than his brother, but unfortunately the order of birth determines the fate of the youngest son, who has nothing to do with everything in Lorcelyn Manor, without accidents.
Under the gaze of the wolf-headed family crest of the Lotlyn family, the pioneer knight, the border guard, and the lord of White Rock Mountain rubbed his goatee on his chin and couldn't help but mutter, "Perhaps, I should give Yu En a little help." ”
For example, a letter of recommendation from a nobleman, an indispensable stepping stone to study in the Mage Tower, or even a large sum of money as tuition.
It has to be said that with his extraordinary performance tonight, his efforts to change his future, he put down a lot of weight on the scale of fate.
