Petunia and her cronies fled in fear of crime. Although they took away a large amount of jewelry, gold coins and magical stones, they left behind several manors and large tracts of territory.
This Countess was born into a very prestigious noble family in Collins City, and inherited the throne from her father. Although she was a female, she also led her family's private army to participate in plane wars, and with the bravery of her family's army,
I haven’t figured out Bo Zhan’s identity yet.
Earl Petunia had many lovers when he was young, and her husband was a declining nobleman. Such an unequal status made it impossible for him to restrain Earl Petunia. This was also the main reason why their couple finally broke up.
The middle-aged Henibo suddenly changed her personality. She gave up her luxurious life, and then ran to the manor to live a secluded life. Some people said that Earl Petunia's life had settled down.
No one expected that in one of her most remote manors, she would actually support this group of black magicians to conduct academic research.
If in normal times, Penibo's behavior would be judged as supporting the Black Magic Monastery at most, and she would be blacklisted by the Magic Union. The House of Representatives of the Bena Province would not be so boring as to punish a woman for this.
count.
But it was not a good time for Count Penny to catch up. The aftermath of Lord McDonnell's collusion with the Black Magic Monastery's independent Ganbu plane had not yet subsided. Her research institute was exposed. Not to mention that she was just a person.
An earl, even if her last name was changed to Newman, she might not be able to escape from this kind of thing.
Suldak did not expect that Count Penny could be so decisive and abandon such a large property before embarking on the road to escape.
Surdak personally rushed to the Yezipias Manor and took over all the properties owned by Penibo Chew. In addition to the manor, there were also large areas of land, mountains and forests, two rivers and a small lake, because
There are still more than 600 farmers living in the Yezipias Manor. They all rented the land of Onippong. Now the crops on these lands are still grown along the
It was mature, but the land had changed hands, so this time Hathaway, Beatrice and Suldak also came to Yetsipias Manor.
They are responsible for taking over the property, while Surdak needs to patrol this new territory.
At the moment Hathaway and Beatrice arrived at Tsipias Manor and stepped out of the magic caravan, Aphrodite stepped into the Gate of the Void, ending this long summoning that lasted more than a week.
journey of.
The carriage stopped in the courtyard that originally belonged to Penny in the manor. This courtyard occupies almost a quarter of the entire manor. It is located in the corner of the manor near the cliff. There are four domed watchtowers around these houses. Unfortunately, due to the long
Time has passed, and some weeds have grown up among the rubble on the walls and roof.
Desolation is the biggest feature of the whole yard.
Although Hathaway and Beatrice were mentally prepared, when they stepped into the courtyard, they couldn't help but cover their mouths with their hands.
The grass in the front yard garden has grown to be as tall as a person, and even many trees and bushes have been swallowed up by the grass.
"This place is more deserted than we imagined. I would rather stay in a tent for one night!" Beatrice whispered to Haikou Wei.
The group of people walked to a statue in the yard. Suldak used the broad sword in his hand to cut off some grass in the crevices of the rocks. At this time, the coachman had already pushed open the door of the house, and the dust on the door "popped"
'Floated down and immediately fell on the coachman's head.
This house is located in the northwest corner of the manor. The front yard is completely abandoned. The back wall is actually built directly from the edge of the cliff. Many windows have semicircular balconies. From the balconies, you can just see the stone cliff below.
hunting ground.
Now the heavy armored infantry regiment led by Edgar is stationed under the mountain bank.
The furniture in the living room was covered with linen, and everything was covered with dust. Hathaway and Beatrice could only ask the maid to follow them and lift up all the loose skirts with lace.
The house was so dirty that I could hardly stay.
"Duck, how many days are we going to stay here?" Beatrice asked worriedly.
However, Haikouwei took Beatrice's hand and told the maid behind her: "Go outside and ask someone to gather all the farmers in the manor...
A maid quickly saluted and walked out of the courtyard.
Hathaway rolled up the dusty curtains, opened the window and saw the rolling mountain scenery in the distance, and then said: "When I have people clean this place up, it will definitely be a nice mountain villa. Come on,
Let us go and see where we can sleep."
Apart from being dusty, there are no other shortcomings in these rooms. In addition, the terraces with mountain views are also the most beautiful thing here.
Not long after, the maid came in and said that all the farmers were waiting outside the yard...
The farmers also heard that the manor had a new owner. When they saw the magic caravan arriving here, they all ran back from their fields, waiting for the call of the new owner of the manor.
After Suldak checked the house, he left the manor with Gulitem and a few cavalrymen. He needed to look around along the boundary markers of the territory.
Hathaway asked someone to open the gate of the house. She and Beatrice stood at the gate of the house, looking at the farmers who were gathering in a hurry. She waited for a short while before walking to the front and facing the gathering.
Hundreds of farmers at the gate of the house said:
"The land, forests, mountains, rivers, and lakes here now belong to Count Surdak."
"You will also rent these lands from us in the future. I hope that your harvest on this land will be enough for your life, but you don't have to worry, the land rental fees here will remain the same.
"In addition, I must explain that in my manor, I do not want to see theft, fighting, fraud, or grabbing other people's property. If someone punishes these regulations, as long as they reach my ears, I will not be polite.
lift him up
Leave the manor."
"We need four maids, a gardener and a craftsman here."
"The maid only works here as long as we are here."
"Gardeners and craftsmen usually only need to come here once a week to trim the grass and trees in the garden, repair the grassy stone steps, damaged walls and roofs, etc."
"Who among you wants to come?"
Hathaway looked at the farmers and peasant women in front of her. Everyone was relatively new to Hathaway and didn't know what to do for a while. They were all hesitating.
"I need someone to clean this place for me. Anyone who is willing to work can be exempted from the land rent at home..."
Hathaway said this casually, and there was some strong movement in the crowd.
Then a group of women scrambled to squeeze out of the crowd, dragging their daughters with them. They looked at Hathaway longingly at the foot of the steps and expressed their willingness to work for Mrs. Hathaway.
Haikwei selected four young girls, and then selected ten peasant women and ten farmers who looked very strong, and let them enter the house.
The farmers are responsible for cleaning up the weeds in the yard, and the peasant women are responsible for cleaning the house.
These twenty farmers and farmwomen were only temporarily hired to clean the house, and Hathaway planned to select a gardener from among these farmers who was suitable for managing the garden.
As for the four young girls, they are the maids here. They can live at home on weekdays. Only when Hathaway and Beatrice come here for vacation will they come to the house to do work.
After a day of cleaning, ten peasant women and seven maids cleaned the living room, kitchen and four bedrooms on the second floor. At night, Hathaway also used the kitchen in the house to prepare a very good meal.
's dinner.
Surdak came back very late...
The two-headed ogre Gulitum returned to the house and found a large iron pot filled with soft boiled beef and potatoes. His fatigue was instantly relieved. He praised the cook's skills and thanked Hathaway.
A sumptuous dinner prepared.
Suldak tied the war horse in the stable on the west side of the yard, and the coachman quickly gave the horse water and fodder.
At night, the stars shone in the night sky of Yezipias Manor, and there was a noisy chirping of insects in Lin Wen.
Surdak looked at the rough front yard garden that had been cleared. The smell of earth was everywhere, and some weeds were piled up in the yard before they could be cleared out.
