There were fifteen people in total, a housekeeper, a cook, four pretty maids, and nine serfs who tended the vines.
The servant said loudly: "From today on, Mr. Horton next to me is your master."
Chris's vest "Hope" does not have any title, so he is called Mr. instead of Sir.
This manor was almost a gift from Philip to him, along with these servants.
The man who looked like a butler bowed and said, "Ovida salutes you."
Chris showed a sunny smile: "Hello."
"Hello, sir." The cook led the maids in a skirt-lifting ceremony, while the serfs knelt down in horror.
The servant who followed smiled and said, "Sir, since you have arrived at the manor, can I go back?"
"Well, let's go back." Chris waved his hand and then walked towards the second-story building.
When you walk into the living room on the first floor, you will see a set of brown and gray leather sofas. There are many oil paintings on the surrounding walls, all of which depict slim girls, as if they are about to step out of the paintings.
Chris stretched out on the soft sofa. From today on, this is his home, and he doesn't know how long he will stay.
The housekeeper Ovida came over, poured a cup of hot water himself, and said softly: "Sir, have you had breakfast? I'll ask them to prepare one for you?"
Chris touched his hungry belly and said, "Okay."
After breakfast, he stayed in the manor and did not go out.
······
Night fell quietly, and Chris left the manor after dark, preparing to implement his plan.
Although he has been to Hearthstone before, he didn't go around much, so he wasn't very familiar with the city.
However, Chris has his own way of finding his way.
He came to a beggar on the roadside, flicked his fingers, put a silver coin into the beggar's broken bowl, and said calmly: "Take me to a place where I can be happy."
The beggar picked up the silver coin, put it in his mouth, bit it, and said with a smile: "Sir, you are really discerning. There is no brothel in this city that I don't know about. Do you want to go to a higher-end one or a lower-level one?"
Chris thought for a while and said: "Go to the best one, I want to find the most expensive girl."
"Okay." The beggar stood up and led the way. He walked very fast and seemed impatient. Chris had to jog to keep up.
About ten minutes later, they arrived at the place.
The brothel was erected in a busy neighborhood, with many beautifully dressed women standing at the door to solicit customers.
Some men were just passing by and had no intention of going, but they were coaxed in by the women with sweet words.
"Sir, this is it." After saying that, the beggar came to the shadow of the corner, looked directly at the women, and put his hands into his pants.
Chris frowned, threw five or six silver coins, and shouted angrily: "Don't disturb my interest here, get as far away from me as you can!"
The beggar hurriedly picked up all the silver coins and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I'll get out of here."
He pulled up his pants and ran away as if running away.
Chris stood at the door with no intention of going in. He was waiting for an opportunity.
The reason why we wanted to drive the beggar away was because we didn't want him to find out that he paid a "big price" for someone to show him the way, but he didn't go in.
The news about beggars is very well-informed, and it won't take long for it to spread throughout the city.
Therefore, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, the fewer witnesses, the better.
After waiting in the shadow of the door for more than an hour, I finally saw two groups of knights walking out of the brothel, shoving and shouting.
One of the knights cursed and said: "Boni, don't go too far. You robbed our girl yesterday, and are you coming here to rob her today?"
Bonny snorted: "I am a baron, you guys are not qualified to negotiate terms with me."
"I'm warning you, don't go too far. Don't think that Lord Andel belongs to your Shadow Leopard Kingdom and you are lawless here."
"What can you do to me? Come and beat me?"
The knight on the opposite side was suppressing his anger. He didn't have the courage. But at this moment, he felt a sudden chill in his body, and then he punched Bonny out of nowhere.
Bonny covered his face and roared angrily: "How dare you hit me? Brothers, hit me!"
As a result, two groups of knights started a melee. They still maintained their sanity and did not use weapons or fighting spirit. They only used the most basic fists and kicks.
But at a certain moment, the sound of a weapon being drawn suddenly came.
A knight stabbed Baron Bonny in the chest with the dagger he carried.
Blood spurted out instantly and splashed all over the ground.
Bonny's eyes widened, and his body fell straight down.
This unexpected scene shocked everyone, and then screams came from the crowd: "Killing!"
The knight was at a loss and said with a trembling voice: "I, I didn't want to kill him. I don't know what happened just now. My body didn't obey its orders."
"Don't even think about making excuses. It was you who killed Baron Boney."
"Yes, he is the murderer. I have known for a long time that they have complaints. Let's all go together and arrest him and go to the White Tiger Kingdom to question him!"
Several people quickly surrounded the knight, but as soon as they got close, they saw the knight waving a dagger and stabbing another person.
"puff!"
The blade of the knife penetrated the body, bringing out hot blood drops.
Killed another person, and he was still a baron with a title.
Everyone was shocked.
"Don't come over here, I can't control myself anymore." The knight was about to collapse.
"Everyone, please use your fighting spirit to stop him."
As a result, more than a dozen people from both the White Tiger Kingdom and the Shadow Leopard Kingdom swarmed forward, trying to hold the knight down.
The knight threw down his weapon and surrendered.
But before his dagger fell, it was caught by another person from the White Tiger Kingdom, and then stabbed at a knight from the Shadow Leopard Kingdom.
"puff!"
The third person died.
Everyone in the Shadow Leopard Kingdom became very angry: "I understand, you are just pretending to take the opportunity to kill us."
"That's not the case. I don't know what's going on."
"Don't explain!" Shadow Leopard Knight interrupted, "It's okay to say that one person is out of control, but two or three people are all out of control? Arrest them and seek justice for their dead companions!"
As a result, more than a dozen knights from the two countries started a melee again.
They did not carry weapons, but the only dagger took away a person's life from time to time, causing damage to both sides.
These people made so much noise that they attracted knights from other places on the street.
Then, it turned into a battle involving hundreds of people.
