"If it can be fired with red clay in the future, it will be even more fashionable!"
As he approached the square, Narant couldn't help but nod. The original bricks were exposed, so it certainly didn't look as exquisite or gorgeous as those manor houses in Tulip City.
But now that it has been plastered, this house is no worse than the aristocratic manor in Tulip City.
If you weren't standing close by, with the inertial thinking of people in this world, you probably wouldn't have thought that this snow-white house was not made of marble.
Before entering the manor, Narante looked at the manor's walls.
The wall is quite regular. The lower part is based on a brick wall nearly one meter high, and the upper part is replaced by an iron bar as thick as a thumb.
In this way, guests can directly see what's going on inside.
After seeing it, Narant stepped into the gate of the manor for reinforcement.
The front courtyard of the manor has also been decorated.
A gravel road extends directly from the gate of the wall to the hut. Of course, there is a large pool in the center of the trail. This pool is not made of bricks, but is made directly of stones.
There are mainly lawns on both sides of the road.
The lawn has been planted with green grass and flowers, which were dug directly from the wild. It looks a little wilted now, but I believe that half a month will be enough for them to regain their vitality.
In the middle of these two lawns, two open spaces were opened according to Nalant's instructions.
The open space is paved with stone slabs, and when tables and chairs are placed, guests can enjoy the service in the open air.
"Sir, according to your instructions, there was originally a sculpture that needed to be placed in the pool. However, due to time constraints, there are still several manors to be renovated, so I put this pool sculpture at the end. I don't know if it is possible.
!”
"Well, no problem. Time is indeed tight. Mario, just look at the arrangements!" Nalant nodded.
Painting walls, paving roads, and planting grass have no technical content, so they can be completed quickly.
But stone carving is different. Stone carving must be completed by a mason. There are only a few masons, so it is the most time-consuming to do it.
Immediately, Nalant remembered something, paused and continued: "Vivian just completed the census of all the new serfs this morning. I will see if there are any carpenters or masons among them later. If so, I will send them in the afternoon."
For your use."
"Yes, sir!"
After checking, it was confirmed that there was no problem, and Narante did not stop.
"Sir! Lord Lord!"
Just as Nalant was about to return to the castle, he was stopped by a call in the square.
I turned around and saw that it was Kenbi Cowdung.
"Kenby Cowdung, what's going on?"
Kenbi Niu Dung did not come alone. There were five or six villagers behind him at the moment. These five or six villagers were escorting a middle-aged man who had been helped strong.
"Sir, we have caught another spy!"
Kenbi Cowdung's face was filled with excitement. He had a sweet dream of eating white sugar and white bread that night, but he didn't expect that the lord would reward him with three of them the next day.
The tender and delicious taste of white sugar and white bread makes Kenbi cow dung even drool unconsciously when he thinks about it.
"Caught another spy?" Nalant looked at Kenbi Cowdung with some suspicion.
Logically speaking, even if there were indeed spies among the new serfs, they shouldn't have appeared in such a short period of time. After all, it was only two days apart.
"Sir, I don't dare to lie to you. This person is really a spy!" Kenbi Niu Dung noticed Nalant's suspicion and explained eagerly: "This person completed the statistics at noon yesterday, so he was picked up yesterday afternoon.
Arrangements were made to move the wood to the beach!”
"And because of your instructions, my lord, I have been paying close attention to every move of these people these days."
"After he came to the beach yesterday afternoon, I noticed something strange, because his eyes were always looking at your boat secretly!"
"At that time, I kept an eye on him quietly. But this morning, he really couldn't stand it anymore. Taking advantage of his break, he even sneaked into the boat!"
"Sir, the sea ship is such a precious existence, so I think he either wants to escape with the sea ship, or he wants to destroy the sea ship!"
After some explanations, Kenby Cow Dung really made it reasonable.
"Bring him up!" Nalant pondered for a moment and then ordered the villagers behind him.
Several villagers immediately brought the middle-aged man up.
The middle-aged man had a look of fear on his face. Because his mouth was blocked, he could only whine and shake his head.
"Take the cloth out of his mouth!"
Narante gave the order.
"Lord, spare your life, I am not a spy!"
These new serfs have already heard about what happened to the two spies a few days ago.
It was obvious that this middle-aged man was also worried that he was really being treated as a spy. After the cloth ball was taken out of his mouth, he immediately begged for mercy anxiously.
"Since you are not a spy, why go to the sea ship?"
In this world, ships are truly valuable things.
Although Nalant's ship has been damaged, as long as it is repaired, it will definitely be worth at least dozens of gold coins.
"Lord, actually... I can actually sail a boat!"
"Huh?" Nalant was a little surprised by this answer.
"Sir, please don't listen to his lies. When I accompanied Miss Vivian to do the census yesterday, he clearly said that he only knows how to farm!" Kenby Cow Dung immediately interrupted.
"Lord, what I said is true, I really know how to sail a boat!" The middle-aged man immediately became anxious.
Nalant frowned slightly, but still spoke again to confirm: "Are you sure? Do you really know how to sail a boat?"
This time Nalant went to Tulip City and asked about sailors, but because of the existence of fish-men and sea monsters in this world, civilians could not go to sea at all, let alone sail a ship and become a sailor.
Therefore, only a few earl families can build ships but go to sea, and only a few earl families can train sailors.
If this middle-aged man really knew how to sail a boat, it would be a very rare profession. In addition, his identity and origins would need to be reexamined.
"Yes, Lord! The little one can really sail a boat! If the little one dares to deceive the Lord, the Lord can hang me directly!"
"Okay, then I will assume that you can sail a boat first!" Nalant nodded, "But now let's talk about your origins! And why you concealed it during the census!"
"Yes, Lord!" The middle-aged serf finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately began to explain: "Lord, I didn't hide it on purpose. My name is Jack, and he was actually a captain before..."
Next, Captain Jack told everything about his origins.
It turns out that a few years ago, he was the captain of a sea ship of the Black Iron family.
Originally, with this status, even if he did not have aristocratic status, his life would be more nourishing than that of a commoner.
But the bad thing was that he accidentally encountered the fleet commander having an affair with a noble lady on his own ship.
The husband of that noble lady is a baron lord. If this matter is exposed, then the fleet commander who is only an honorary noble will definitely be in bad luck.
Therefore, the fleet commander was ready to kill and silence him on the spot.
The commander of the fleet was a titled knight, so it would be easy to kill an ordinary person like him.
However, in order to prevent blood from splattering on the ship and being discovered by others, the fleet commander chose to give him a lucky break, then tied him with a rope and a big stone and threw him into the bottom of the sea.
Originally, in this situation, Jack was definitely destined to die, but maybe he didn't deserve his fate. After sinking to the bottom of the sea, he immediately attracted a fish-man sea monster.
The fish-man and sea monster regarded him as food and immediately came to bite him.
Maybe they thought he was a dead body, or maybe they thought the rope was in the way. After the fish-man and sea monster bit him, he actually bit the rope off again.
When he was awakened by the pain, the rope was bitten and untied. When the fish-man and sea monster was not paying attention, he directly snatched the bone spur from the fish-man and sea monster's hand and killed the fish-man and sea monster.
