Chapter 173, Back to the Territory
After spending about ten days, Ryan finally led his army back to his territory.
The time has come to mid-October, and even autumn is about to pass. In about two or three weeks, the Barony of Jean will usher in the first snow of winter.
The army of Wenford Principality also came near the town of Jean.
It's time to part.
"Okay, we will part here, Ryan, I still want to thank you again, it was your command that brought most of the people back home safely." Francois coughed a few times, expressing his gratitude to Ryan Thank you: "I won't say much else. After going through a war, you and your soldiers need to rest. If you have anything to do, you are welcome to find me at Helen Hilde."
"Okay, thank you very much, my Duke, Yuli, Miss Suria." Ryan also expressed his gratitude to the Duke's family with a serious face. If it weren't for their hard work, he would never have been so relaxed.
The chivalry war left Ryan and his army exhausted. Of course he could persist, but his army could not.
For a long time to come, Ryan decided to focus on recuperation and development for the time being.
In fact, the war potential of the serf system in the Middle Ages is like this. Except for the elves, few forces can withstand continuous wars. Although it took a long time, it can be said that the reproduction of human beings is easier than that of elves.
Ryan bid farewell to Julius and Suria successively. At the same time, there were also a large number of knights from the Duchy of Wenford who participated in this war. It was distributed in full, and everyone had a smile on their faces.
Suria and Ryan shook hands and said goodbye: "I look forward to meeting you next time, and I hope you will not forget my invitation."
"I won't forget, but I think I need some time to think about it. This is still my first year here." Ryan said with a smile: "Maybe I still have to stabilize my subjects."
"In any case, Helen Hilde welcomes you."
"Thank you, please take care of Emilia."
"Don't worry, what you send here is what I send back, she must still be that lovely child." The female knight smiled brightly, and at the same time winked at her maid: "Are you right? Sylvia?"
"Well,
This seems to have nothing to do with me, miss! "The maid with a serious personality got a big blush and quickly explained.
Francois just watched all this with a smile, without the slightest thought of stopping it.
Duke Wenford finally left with his army, and Ryan and others stayed behind.
I haven't seen you for a few months. The former town of Jin has taken on a new look. More wooden buildings have been built. Tall stone walls are gradually replacing the original low wooden walls. The prosperous town and a lot of work have attracted many freemen. Come to settle, the far-reaching influence of these high-quality population will take a long time to play their role.
After distributing military salaries and trophies, the serf army gradually disbanded. After more than two months of fighting, they finally returned to their hometown. A generous income and good capture made the faces of these serfs who could barely eat and clothed smiles. , Some serfs weighed the small amount of silver they had grabbed and the silver coins in the bag, thinking that they could eat roast chicken for the New Year.
At the same time, the two serf infantrymen were lucky enough to be enlisted as sergeants. The ranger knight Hux took out the roster and shouted: "Amedai? Barre?"
"Yes, Lord Knight!" Two serf soldiers rushed to the front of the queue.
"Amedai from Gumu Village killed two horned beasts, twelve bad horned beasts, and one razor beast in this chivalrous war. Under the order of the baron, he promoted Amedai to be a sergeant! Move into the castle someday! "
"Barley from Dufang Village, killed one horse beast, five bad-horned beasts, and wounded one big-horned beast in this chivalrous war. Under the order of the baron, Barley was promoted to sergeant! Move into the castle someday! "
"Yes!" The two serfs knelt down excitedly. They tried not to cry, but kowtowed: "We are willing to die for the baron!"
Ryan nodded, indicating that he knew: "Show your actual performance."
After the brief entrustment ended, Gasparton, the tax collector, greeted him: "My baron, this year's harvest is good. According to the tithe tax you set, we collected grain worth about 650 gold kroner."
Olivier was injured, so he went back to rest first, Hux went to deal with the aftermath of the disbandment of the army, and the rest of Ryan and Gasparton walked into their castle.
Most of the interior of the castle is still under construction. The wooden floor has begun to replace the wet and cold stone floor. The corners that have been in disrepair have been reinforced one after another. Many workers are still working. The baron was a little uncomfortable: "The castle is still being repaired, when is it expected to be completed?"
"The main body of the castle has basically been renovated, and the remaining painters will paint the baron's castle. My baron, you can send someone to buy a painting or statue, and you can also display your spoils in the room. Show your bravery." Gasparton followed behind the baron: "I'm not very clear about the castle."
"You don't know? Who is managing the castle recently? Katzenberg?" Unexpectedly, Ryan noticed that his castle was well managed, and everyone performed their duties, although it seemed a bit strange due to the entry of craftsmen. It was crowded, but there was order and order among the servants, craftsmen and guards.
"No, Katzenberg has recently been stationed in Jean Town, responsible for collecting taxes and managing foreign population and merchants. The person in charge of managing the interior of the castle is...Miss Olika." Gasparton said in a low voice: "Miss Olika It's the Baron's personal maid who offered to help us..."
"Can't think of her having this talent?" Ryan was a little surprised.
The baron thought to himself that his dark elf maid should do everything possible to avoid showing her face. How could she take the initiative to take care of things like this?
"Is there anything else?"
"There are also things related to planting winter wheat and arranging festivals...but those are not urgent matters, my baron, you have worked hard to go out to fight, you should rest first, the hot water and your bedroom, Miss Olika, are all for you. You are ready, I will not bother you." Gasparton could see that Ryan wanted to rest: "Do you need to prepare a dinner? My baron?"
Ryan looked at the sky outside from the window, it was only in the afternoon, and it was a little late to prepare for the dinner at this time, so the baron himself shook his head: "Tomorrow night, you can arrange things so that all the knights can come to the dinner. "
"Yes, my Baron." Gasparton stepped back.
The third floor is where the lord and his family live. Most of the places are still being renovated, but the lord's room has been completely tidied up, and the craftsman has also been ordered to leave temporarily. The person who came out to greet Ryan was his personal maid—O Lika, his head maid, Emilia, was still studying at Winford College, and could only come back occasionally.
Waist-deep black hair and wheat-colored skin, black and white lace maid dress, white suspender stockings, Olika with amber eyes and a beautiful face is already waiting for him in his bedroom: " Welcome back, master."
"Olika?" Ryan began to take off his coat, and after two months of disappearance, the dark elf's face seemed to be a little more obedient, less hostile and resistant: "It's really rare for you to take the initiative to take care of things .”
"The hot water has been placed, I need to show my value to the master." The dark elf walked gently in front of Ryan. Black pointed high-heeled shoes stepped on the red carpet: "Master, please take a bath, do you need to take a nap?"
"Of course, come back and rest for a few days before considering the next step."
"Then let me serve you."
"good!"
...the dividing line for bathing...
After the bath, the baron himself changed into his pajamas after washing himself cleanly. Seeing this, the dark elf closed all the curtains on the windows, locked the door of the room, and blew out the candles: "Master, when do you need me to call you?" Is it?"
"No need." Ryan sat on the soft velvet bed, and the baron looked at Orika strangely: "Why do you seem to be different after I came back from the battle?"
"Uh? Will it?" The dark elf carefully sat on the bed, the black maid skirt was spread on the blue sheet, her face was a little flushed, and she was a little helpless: "Master, isn't this what a maid should do?" Is it?"
"Haha, it's really hard to imagine that the dark elf who kept struggling and screaming, who couldn't live and die, would become what he is now." The baron himself laughed, and he seemed to think of the time when he was in Marin. Fort days.
"Well~" Olika's face was flushed, she stood up and wanted to leave, but Ryan took her hand, and with a gentle pull, the dark elf was hugged in his arms: "Quickly tell the truth!" ! Otherwise, I will punish you!"
In the afternoon, the castle was very quiet. Olika struggled a little. The maid knew that she was not capable of resisting Ryan's attack, so she was half pushed and picked up by the baron.
The black high-heeled shoes fell on the ground, and the dark elf's bumpy figure was covered by a thick quilt. Her beautiful amber eyes looked at Ryan lying beside her shyly, and then said softly: "Master, after you left, the lady in the lake appeared, and she found me."
"What did my lady find you, dear Orika?" Ryan also lay on the bed. He stretched out his hand and gently embraced the dark elf in his arms, feeling the softness between her softness and the beauty of her hair. aroma.
The dark elf leaned on his master's chest and whispered, "Master, the lady in the lake hopes that I can obediently be your maid, otherwise I will be driven away from your side."
After hearing this, Ryan frowned indistinctly. He thought that the lake lady was too strict in many things, the baron hugged the trembling dark elf maid in his arms, and said casually: "Then what? "
"I agree." The dark elf said helplessly, it seemed that too much helplessness left her with no other choice: "Master, my soul contract is in your hands, I have no other choice, I just beg you not to Get rid of me."
"But this is not your sincere words." Ryan reached out and brushed Olika's delicate face, and the baron's blue eyes were full of stars: "To this day, I still have no way to believe you, Olika, your body seems to be Shrouded in an endless fog, no one knows what you want."
"I want to stay by your side, my master." The dark elf continued: "Master, has anyone told you that you are surrounded by a very pure energy? Any spellcaster likes this pure energy." Energy breath, everyone is willing to get close to you, including me."
"I know this." Ryan nodded. He knew this in his heart. As the Primarch of the Gray Knight, he could extract the purest subspace psionic energy from the subspace full of chaos and corruption. Any spellcaster would like it With this kind of energy, even the lake goddess Morgiana, who always hated being touched by others, couldn't feel disgusted with him.
There are indications that Olika was also a spellcaster.
In the dim master bedroom, everything was silent.
After being silent for a long time, Ryan could feel some reactions from himself hugging Olika, but he himself has always had a strong restraint on such things. After thinking for a while, Ryan still shook his head: "Olika, The agreement between you and the lady has nothing to do with me, I just ask you to be a good maid from beginning to end, and I will protect you, that's all."
Seeing this, the dark elf bit her lip unwillingly, and she could also feel Ryan's movement.
She wants to heal her soul, the pure energy of Ryan is exactly what she needs, and to obtain Ryan's energy, she needs to obtain the energy of Ryan through the most primitive and simple method.
She was ready, but at the critical moment, Ryan actually backed down?
"Master!" The dark elf said anxiously, "I still..."
"Wait, I haven't finished my words, dear Orika." Ryan's hand gently stretched down the dark elf's smooth back: "But I am willing to give you a chance."
"I..." The dark elf was angry and annoyed. The human in front of her was actually teasing her, so she opened her mouth: "You..."
"Hmm...!" The dark elf's mouth was blocked, and Ryan kissed her sweet lips.
... (abbreviated below) ...
The next day, the sky was bright and the sun was rising from the east. The baron was in a good mood. He even sat in his bedroom and looked at this year's tax records, taking care of the darkness like a ball of mud that he couldn't even turn over. elf.
"Come on, Olika, eat something!" He helped the dark elf to sit up and let her lean on his shoulders.
"Well, master~" The dark elf's face was shiny and moist, and she looked very complicated.
"Boom~" Untimely, there was a knock on the door of the master bedroom: "My baron, are you there? There is something I need you to deal with."
"Kazenberg? Aren't you in Jin Town?" Ryan was a little unhappy that someone came to disturb him at this time: "What's the matter?"
"It's like this, my baron, a witcher came to Jean Town, and he said he wanted to find you for something."
"This matter has something to do with the Duke of Boldro." Looking for the latest chapter by yourself after reading the book? You are OUT, follow us on WeChat and the beauty editor will help you find books! It's really good to read a book and flirt with girls!
