"Yes, sir! When we rushed to the front yard last night, we found that the gate of the castle had been secretly opened by Benny. He also rode away a horse in the stable. I immediately took two guards and went to the stable to chase after him on horseback.

"Audrey kept his head lowered, and his tone of voice was also a little low.

"When we rushed out of the castle, Benny was already running down the mountain along the road to the west. We chased him all the way. Benny finally found that he couldn't get rid of us, so he gave up his horses and got into the woods on the roadside.

After entering the woods, we lost track of him. After I asked a guard to guard the horses, I walked into the woods with another guard to search, but found nothing. We searched until dawn and then came back!"

After finishing speaking, Audrey saw that Gervais did not have any emotional fluctuations and continued: "Sir, it is the villain who is incompetent and did not catch Benny. Please punish him!"

"It's not your fault. Benny even secretly opened the castle door. No one would have thought of this!" Gervais finished the last bite of food and looked at Audrey.

When Benny was on duty in the middle of the night, he even opened the castle gate in advance, indicating that he had already planned to use the horses in the castle to escape. As long as he was allowed to ride out of the castle, it would be basically difficult to catch him at night.

If the gate of the castle had been closed tightly at that time, it would have been possible to catch a turtle in an urn, but Benny would have been unable to fly even with his wings. There was no use climbing over the wall to get out, and he couldn't run very far on two legs. There were horses in the castle, and he could catch up with him in a moment.

Gervais felt a little regretful as to why he knew clearly that Benny had a problem yesterday and still delayed preparing to solve it today.

If we had made a decisive decision yesterday afternoon and interrogated each guard one by one, we would have definitely found out the clues about Benny, and what happened in the middle of the night would not have happened. Not only did it take half a night, but Ike was seriously injured. It was still unclear whether he could survive it.

After another two days of observation, the most disgusting thing was that the main culprit, Benny, ran away.

As people on earth, procrastination is a very common phenomenon. From students doing homework to adults working, most people have procrastination, but the consequences of procrastination on earth are very mild.

But in this world, Gervais was obviously very free yesterday afternoon, but he wanted to schedule things to be done today, but unexpectedly something happened in the middle of the night.

Procrastination is really not suitable to exist in this world. As a lord, you need to be more diligent. Gervais secretly warned himself.

…

With the lessons learned last night, Gervais's style of doing things today began to be vigorous and resolute.

He is now preparing to patrol the territory. Thomas does not need to follow him today because Gervais asked Thomas to recruit male and female servants in the town.

There are really too few people in the castle. If there were male servants on duty in the castle last night, I believe Benny would not dare to take the risk and sneak in. Moreover, each corridor in the castle originally needed to be lit with candles, but because there was no manpower to replace them,

Only the third floor where Gervais was located kept the candle burning, and it was because Ik and the other three were there to replace it.

Gervais came to the vestibule. Thomas was already waiting with Gervais's horse. There were four horses in total. Behind each horse was a flat carriage. There was a cross wooden frame erected on the carriage. At the moment, there was a person tied to the wooden frame.

This man is none other than Benny's man who was captured alive by Gervais last night. Gervais is going to take him to patrol his territory today. As for the man who was chopped down by Ike as soon as they met last night, he has just been killed.

Gervais ordered to hang it on the wooden pole in the town square.

It's not that Gervais is cruel, but that Benny and his two subordinates are running amok in this territory. Although the serfs dare to be angry and dare not speak out, they must hate these guards. If Gervais arrives, Ben

Ni is still alive and well, so these resentments will be transferred to Gervais soon.

If Gervais punishes the evil three, he will quickly gain prestige and the goodwill of the serfs. Although most nobles believe that the goodwill of the serfs is worthless.

But Gervais, who traveled through time, had a different view. In Gervais's mind, a territory could only truly develop if it was recognized by the serfs with the broadest population base. When the serfs felt that Gervais was a

If you are a good lord and a good master, then they will work hard for Gervais and pay taxes without delay.

Instead of rushing to get on the horse, Gervais rewarded Johnny in front of everyone at the door. Although the servant sneaked out of his room in the middle of the night, the merits outweighed the demerits. Gervais asked Thomas to reward him with 20 copper coins and a large chunk of the morning.

Gervais did not eat the white bread.

Under the envious eyes of another servant, Thomas handed 20 copper coins and a whole piece of white bread into Johnny's hands.

After rewarding Johnny, Gervais mounted his horse and prepared to set off without further delay.

Following Gervais' instructions last night, the horses had been fed enough food and grass this morning. Gervais took Laurie, Audry and two local guards out of the castle gate.

Other guards need to be stationed at the castle, so today there are only four followers following Gervais to patrol the territory, and a prisoner who is tied to the carriage and has a rag covering his mouth.

…

Viscounty of Laney, Blackstone Castle.

In a luxurious hall, Lanny was sitting on a soft sofa, holding an enchanting woman in his arms. The woman was scantily clad, and her slender body was like a water snake, completely hanging on Viscount Lanni's bloated body.

.

From time to time, the enchanting woman would pick up fruit from the fruit plate held by the maid and feed it to Viscount Lanny's mouth.

Bang bang bang~

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the hall, and Viscount Lanni pushed the enchanting woman away and said loudly: "Come in!"

After Viscount Lanny finished speaking, a man who looked like a butler outside the door slowly opened the two large doors and walked in cautiously.

"Sir Viscount, there is an urgent message from Earl Jones." This man is Viscount Lenny's butler. As a butler, he knows best that Viscount Lenny hates others coming to the hall to disturb his enjoyment at this time.

However, because the matter was urgent, the butler did not dare to delay. As soon as he received the urgent report, he hurried to Viscount Lenny to report. The butler quickly walked to Viscount Lanni with the letter and handed the envelope over.

When Viscount Lanny read the urgent report handed over by the butler, his face was as dark as water and his teeth were clenching.

Bang~

Finally, in a rage, Viscount Laney raised the fruit plate in the maid's hand and smashed it into the center of the hall. In an instant, a beautiful disk was smashed to pieces, and broken porcelain pieces were scattered on the floor.

In the hall, both the housekeeper and the enchanting woman like a water snake looked frightened and did not dare to express their anger.

"The territory has been canonized, actually canonized, that bitch, the territory that has not been managed by anyone for more than thirty years, now has a lord! Ah...ah..." Viscount Lanni was a little crazy, Alice canonized a little

Baron, but it may disrupt his important plan.

When Viscount Lenny cursed loudly, the housekeeper and others trembled, but no one dared to speak out to persuade him.

The housekeeper is a confidant of Viscount Lenny. He has read the contents of the urgent report and fully understands why Viscount Lenny is so angry.

Although Lanny is a viscount, he is known as greedy and stingy in the aristocratic circle.

Recently, Viscount Lanny has become very interested in a place, which is the buffer zone between Viscount Lanny and the Earldom of Jones. A long time ago, Viscount Lanny discovered an incredible mineral by chance, but the location of the mineral was very large.

Part of it is within the buffer zone of the Jones family.

It was originally taken that the old earl was a golden peak knight, and Viscount Lanni did not dare to make any move, but unexpectedly, the old earl disappeared not long ago.

This made Viscount Lanni ready to act, feeling that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and a gift from God.

Therefore, Viscount Lanny took the risk of breaking the unspoken rules and spent a lot of money to build a camp in the buffer zone, preparing to start collecting the precious minerals.

To be on the safe side, Viscount Lenny also personally revised a letter, plus five gold coins, and bribed the captain of the guard stationed in Viscount Major, Benny.

Unexpectedly, just a month has passed, and the camp has just been built a few days ago, and the territory has a new owner.

This means that the five gold coins he bribed Benny with are in vain, and most importantly, his camp will be at great risk of being discovered by the new lord.

"Tabby, go to the camp in person now. If the camp is really discovered by the lord named Gervais, they must not be allowed to approach the camp under any circumstances. If necessary, as long as the baron is not hurt, everyone else will

You can kill without mercy!" After venting his anger, Viscount Lenny gradually calmed down, and after thinking for a long time, he ordered the butler in front of him.

"Yes, Lord Viscount!" The butler named Tabby quickly agreed.

…

"Where does the road ahead lead?" After walking out of the castle gate, Gervais stopped his horse, pointed to a winding dirt road, and asked the guards behind him.

"Lord Baron, that is the road leading to the seaside mountain village." A guard behind him immediately replied. Because the two of them are local guards, they are familiar with everywhere in the territory. Gervais went to the red dot in order to hurry up.

As for the location, I planned not to go to the town as the first stop, but to go directly outside the town, towards the road facing the red dot.

"Then let's go to the seaside village for inspection first!" Gervais nodded, then clamped his legs together, pulled the reins, and urged the horse to move forward.

"Yes, sir!" After listening to Gervais's order, a group of guards quickly mobilized their horses and followed Gervais closely.

Along the way, although there were not many pedestrians, you could still encounter one or two occasionally. They came out of the fields on both sides of the road. It was probably because it was lunchtime and these serfs were preparing to go home for dinner, so they could

Let Gervais meet a few people.

The serfs all wore similar clothes, linen shorts, and many were barefoot. Only one or two of them wore straw sandals.

When they saw Gervais and his party, they all hid far away on the roadside and did not dare to move.

When Gervais approached them, the serfs secretly looked around and trembled all over when they saw the guards behind Gervais and the people tied to the carriage.

"Lord Gervais is inspecting the territory! Why don't you hurry up and salute."

When Gervais and his party passed by these serfs, the guards behind them immediately shouted.

"Have you seen this man? He followed Benny and bullied you in the territory. Now Lord Gervais has become the lord here. He also knows about Benny's evil deeds and has upheld justice for you."

"But Benny was too cunning. Before the Baron arrived at the castle, he had already fled in fear of crime. He only captured two of his men. This was one of them. The other one had been ordered by Lord Gervais to be dropped in the small town.

In the town square, you can take a look when you go back!"

"God's grace has enveloped you! With the arrival of Lord Gervais, you will have someone to protect you!"

The guard's lines were of course given by Thomas, otherwise how could the local guard, who didn't even know the words, speak so fluently.

Gervais and others stopped their horses, and the serfs knelt on the ground without hesitation. When they heard that it was Benny's men who were tied to the carriage, the bold serfs raised their heads slightly and took a peek at the tied people.

People on carriage.

Seeing the serfs trembling and kneeling on the roadside, Gervais was not very adaptable, but he also understood that serfs must kneel down and salute when they see nobles. This is a rule that must be followed in this world, and he has no ability to change it.

Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Gervais thought that Benny was still on the run, so he ordered the shouting guards: "Tell them, although Benny escaped, I must catch him and let him commit crimes for himself."

He will be responsible for his crimes. If anyone discovers or catches Benny, he can go to the castle to receive a reward of 1 silver coin."

…

Because they encountered serfs passing by along the way, Gervais and the others moved very slowly. They walked for nearly an hour before they were about to reach Gervais's red point.

"Take a rest here, I drank too much water this morning! I need to go to the front for convenience. You don't have to follow me." At the foot of a hill, Gervais looked at the flashing red dot that was very close at hand.

A little behind the hill, I immediately ordered everyone to rest on the spot, and I just took advantage of the convenient way to go to investigate.

"Yes, sir!"

Gervais was very glad that the red dot was located on the roadside and not in the jungle. If it were in the jungle, he would have to find another reason to go in and search for it, but now that it is located near the road, it is convenient for him.

Slowly adjusting the direction, Gervais walked towards the side of the hill step by step. There were not many weeds here, but there were a few small trees. He deliberately found a small tree with dense leaves to block his body, and Gervais walked

Start looking around and searching.

The radar on the panel is very easy to use. As the distance gets closer, it will continue to amplify, so Gervais does not need to search in a large range. He can directly lock the error within one or two meters. At this moment, the red dot and the green dot have already

Completely integrated, the amplification function has also been reached to the extreme.

"What could it be?" Gervais was a little expectant, but he looked around for a while and found that there was nothing strange. Gervais scratched his head, a little confused as to what to do. After all, it was his first time to use this.
Chapter completed!
