Chapter 5

Black castle was built as a military fortress with thick walls and few and small windows, so the light in the castle is not good. Victor followed the old housekeeper with the same meticulous dress and gait in the long corridor. The thick butter candles had been lit on the walls of the corridor. The figure swayed and danced in the shadow of the candle, giving people a gloomy feeling.

The sound of neat footsteps came from afar. Victor's pupils narrowed slightly and saw a group of strong guards coming up.

The shortest of these soldiers is more than 180 cm tall. They are covered with heavy chain armour, holding a fine steel halberd and carrying a round shield made of solid wood.

These heavily armed soldiers passed victor and the old housekeeper without squinting. They should be a team of castle guards to change their defense.

Victor visually observed that these guards only wore about 50kg of lock armor, plus a single hand metal halberd, a round shield and some other equipment such as helmets. The weight of these soldiers is estimated to be more than 80kg, but seeing that these soldiers don't care, we know that this weight will not affect their combat effectiveness at all.

Human beings in this world are generally strong and powerful. Victor once saw farmers carrying 200kg long stones to build the wall of the town behind Heibao. Even Victor himself is more powerful than Zhang Xiaoqiang before crossing. You should know that Victor can only be regarded as a little aristocrat in this world.

Even for ordinary people, what will the knight who stands at the peak of human power look like? Human beings are not the most powerful race in the world. What power will other orcs, barbarians, elves, dwarfs and even mysterious underground races have?

Although Victor is far more agile than ordinary people, he lacks strength. Fortunately, many training methods to improve strength and physical strength are recorded in the x-3 chip. In particular, many sets of training methods from Chinese martial Taoists are said to have incredible effects, which make Victor very much wait.

"Lord Victor, we have arrived." The old housekeeper bowed slightly to victor. "Allow me to report to the governor first, and you can go in and meet the governor."

"Help yourself." Victor raised his hand to the old housekeeper.

"Your Excellency the governor, your excellency Baron Wimbledon, please." The old housekeeper knocked on the oak door in front of him.

The heavy oak door opened and a well-dressed clerk said to victor; "Your Excellency the governor invited the Baron in."

Victor followed the clerk into the room. This room is much more spacious and luxurious than victor's room. The ground is paved with smooth and bright iron wood floors, several famous paintings are hung on the snow-white walls, and two crystal chandeliers are hung on the ceiling. More than a dozen lizard oil candles in the chandelier illuminate the whole room as bright as day.

Soon Victor saw the count of York sitting at his desk eating snacks.

Count York gave victor the feeling of "round", round face, round eyes, round nose, round hands, round waist, round butt... If there is a further impression, it is "white". The white and round Earl of York is crowded in a widened gold armchair in gorgeous Earl's clothes, which really gives people an inexplicable sense of joy.

The count, who was very happy, said nothing at this time.

"Baron Victor, as governor of the horse hills, I ask you to take office in your territory immediately!" The count of York took the silk scarf handed over by a beautiful maid on the side and wiped the remaining berries on the corner of his mouth.

"Governor, I hurt my head in the last bandit attack. It still hurts and I have lost a lot of memory. I'm afraid I need to cultivate in Heibao for some time to perform my duties." Victor said to the count with a bitter face.

Count York, with an expression on his face that he knew you were going to say so, poured a mouthful of honey milk into his mouth and shouted at Victor: "It's more than a month overdue since you submitted your inauguration document. It's a dereliction of duty, serious dereliction of duty! I don't care what reason you have, I'll go to the territory to take office immediately. I must plant crops in your territory before the end of this water season, or I'll impeach you to Wang Guoyuan's old house!"

"Max, send someone to send the baron to his territory early tomorrow morning. That's it!" York patted the table impatiently and ordered the clerk to the side.

"Sir, you can't do this. There are still ferocious bandits wandering in my territory. Now my family guard hasn't arrived. If I go to the territory, they will kill me for revenge." Victor sneered, but pretended to be anxious and frightened.

The Earl of York gloated and said, "Baron, as a feudal nobleman, it's our bounden duty to protect the territory against evil. How can you shrink back from danger? You should recruit troops to eliminate the hateful bandits. Go quickly and don't delay the sowing of the water season. I'll wait for you in Heibao to send back the good news."

"Your Excellency is right, but the kinsol I carried has been nearly robbed by bandits. Now I have no money. How can I recruit the army? Why don't you lend me some kinsol first, let me recruit the army to eliminate the bandits, and then arrange farmers to sow seeds? You won't let the Government Council blame the governor for his dereliction of duty." Said Victor with a bitter face.

"Never mind, I won't lend you a copper sol." As soon as victor wanted to borrow money from him, the count of York immediately slapped the table with his little round hand angrily.

"Since the count doesn't want to help me, I can only wait for our Wimbledon family guard to come and destroy the bandits. If you want to impeach me, please, and then I will naturally plead with the Senate. I'll leave first!" Victor turned sadly and angrily to go.

Just then a waiter came up to York and bowed carefully and said, "master, the lady has come!"

The count of York struggled to get up from his chair. After several attempts, he failed. He shouted angrily, "help me up, you useless pigs!"

Several attendants quickly pulled the count of York out of his chair. They saw his flesh billowing all over. Victor was worried that his fat could be squeezed out of his body.

"Oh, honey, you are still so frugal. I told you to change this chair. Why do you keep it?" A soft voice came from the gate.

I saw two women walking into the door. The first woman was wearing a red waist dress, and her golden hair was rolled into a noble woman's bun on her head. She had white skin, slender waist, crisp chest and round hips. The eye waves reveal infinite amorous feelings. This beautiful lady is the Countess of York.

Another woman was wearing a delicate women's leather armor. She was tall and full of 1.8 meters. Her slender legs looked vigorous and powerful under the package of tight breeches. She was carrying a scabbard sword in her hand. Her nose was high, her eyes were sharp, and her beautiful face showed a vigorous spirit. She should be the countess's waitress.

"Sylvia, what are you doing here?" York's round face showed a flattering smile.

"You have guests here. Who is this handsome young man?" Sylvia didn't pay attention to York's flattery, and her eyes lit up when she saw the handsome victor.

"Dear Madam, even the asters of the fire moon will fade in front of your beauty. I'm victor of the Wimbledon family. It's my honor to meet you." Victor went forward and made an aristocratic salute to the countess.

"So you are Baron victor. I didn't expect you to be so young." Sylvia smiled at Victor. "I heard you were attacked and injured by bandits. How are you now?"

"Well, madam, I'm discussing Baron Victor's appointment to the territory." York coughed and interrupted his wife's warm greetings to victor.

"Oh, what's going on?" The countess asked the clerk next to the count of York.

The clerk dared not neglect and told the countess in detail what had just been talked between the count of York and victor.

"Dear nbiser, Sophia is a good friend I have known for many years. What can you do to help poor Victor?" The countess began to make demands on her husband.

"Madam, it's not that I'm unkind. As the governor here, I can't openly challenge the Lord's law. Moreover, the Government Council requires all lords to finish the task of sowing before the end of this year's water season. I really can't help it." York smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Then send knights to eliminate the remaining evils of bandits in that territory." Sylvia looked at York coldly, as if she was very dissatisfied with her husband's refusal.

"Those bandits hid, surrounded and suppressed them several times, but they didn't catch their trace. Now jackals and goblins around frequently harass farmers. It's said that they also found the trace of ogres. Our knight can't be busy at all. How can we have so much time to catch some bandits running around." York took out his silk scarf and wiped the cold sweat from his head.

"My Lord, there's another way." The attendant clerk suggested to the count: "Lord Victor, the main confusion is that there are bandits wandering in his territory. The Baron's guards have not been recruited yet. Now there is a great risk to take office. So I suggest replacing a territory for your excellency."

"According to the laws of the Kingdom, the territorial ownership of the pioneer can be freely replaced once. Baron, if you replace your territory with other barons, you don't have to face bandits without guards. The replacement document needs to be sent to the Senate for filing. Naturally, this period of time can't be regarded as the Baron's overdue. Lord Victor can also use this period of time to recruit guards Guard and lead the people. The governor doesn't have to be held accountable by the prime minister. "

"Good idea! Who will exchange territory with the Baron?" York asked, patting the table.

"Your Excellency, your brother, viscount Fred York, has developed a Viscount collar in the southwest of the hills. He has built a castle and has just obtained the hereditary document approved by the Senate. You can ask him if he would like to." The clerk advised.

"Victor, what do you think of this proposal?" York patted his belly contentedly and looked at victor like a greedy fat badger looking at a poor quail.

"However, the kinsol I brought was robbed by bandits. Now I have no funds to recruit guards and lead people." Victor said faintly that he sighed for the performance between the nobles.

"I'll lend you 20000, no, 10000 kinsol. Just sign this." York said, gritting his teeth. He took out a document and handed it to the clerk on one side, motioning the clerk to hand it to victor.

"That's very interesting. I have a ring handed down by the elves. Well, it's my mother's heirloom. I'm willing to transfer it to the count at a low price of 100000 gold sol." Victor took a turquoise ring from his finger and threw it on the replacement instrument at random.

The elves have been far away from the human world for thousands of years. Every jewelry handed down by this race that pursues perfection and advocates art is sought after by human nobles. A ring of the elves is worth at least 300000 gold sol in the king.

"Come on, show me!" Sure enough, the count of York shouted impatiently to the attendant holding the instrument and ring. When he saw Sylvia staring at him coldly, he handed the ring he had just got to his wife.

"This ring is just the style popular in Wangdu in recent months. It is said that it is a new style designed by jewelry designer Benjamin in imitation of the elf family style. I happen to have several same rings inlaid with blue diamonds, each of which is worth 3000 gold sol." Sylvia said to Victor with a smile in her slender jade white hand holding the ring.

"The countess really has a good eye. Master Benjamin designed a new ring in the style of imitating elves by learning from my ancestral ring." Victor smiled at the countess. The blood of the moon elf made Victor's temperament light and elegant, making his smile full of charming charm. The tall female guard was stunned, two red clouds flew up on her cheeks and quietly lowered her head.

Looking at Victor's serious nonsense, Sylvia's bright eyes showed a trace of appreciation.

"50000 kinsol, Baron Victor, tonight I'll have a dinner for you at Rose Manor to celebrate your recovery. I'll send someone to pick you up. Please come." Sylvia's watery eyes crossed victor and invited him.

"As you wish, beautiful lady." Victor bowed gracefully to Sylvia.
