While talking, Manda fell asleep again. Her body was too weak now and she needed to rest.
Chris put her down gently and walked out of the room.
Ruth, the maid, was waiting quietly at the door.
Chris ordered: "Go and bring a basin of warm water over, wet the towel and wipe her body, and then find a pair of clean clothes for her to put on. Remember to move gently and try not to wake her up."
"Yes." Ruth took the order and left.
Chris walked out of the castle and wandered in the courtyard.
Next, we have to go all out to deal with the revenge of the Marquis.
He has never regretted what he has done. If the person who offended him can leave safely, wouldn't everyone treat him as a soft persimmon in the future?
······
Yale City is located in the southeast of the Eagle Kingdom. It is a magnificent city with a history of hundreds of years. It has gone through several changes in the kingdom and is still standing there.
Yale City only belongs to the Gitte family in name only, and the patriarch, Occam Gitte, is a marquis with a transcendent status.
This family has also been passed down for hundreds of years, with elites emerging in large numbers. During its most glorious period three hundred years ago, it even had three seventh-level knights at the same time.
Once you reach the level of Marquis, you can form your own army, have nobles loyal to you, and have absolute dominance in your fief. It can even be described as a country within a country.
Bugatti, Ignaz and others walked dejectedly through the city of Yale, trembling with fear as they did not know what kind of anger they were about to endure.
Although they are earls, they are not considered to be from the Eagle Kingdom, but are nobles affiliated with the Marquis of Occam.
Bugatti and Ignatz stick together unconsciously, only in this way can they regain some sense of security.
The distance from the city gate to the Marquis Palace was only a short two or three kilometers, but they seemed to have walked for dozens or hundreds of years.
Finally, when the familiar gate of the mansion appeared in front of them, more than a dozen nobles looked at each other, but no one dared to go in.
"My lords, are you back? The Marquis has been waiting for you for a long time." At this time, a guard walked out of the Marquis' mansion with a smile.
The Marquis' spies are everywhere in the city of Yale, and Occam has learned the news since Bugatti and the others first entered the city.
Bugatti and others mustered up their courage and stepped into the Marquis Palace.
They walked to the living room of the mansion, where a young man who looked to be in his twenties was sitting lazily on the amethyst throne in the back, yawning.
"Why didn't those knights come back with you?" Occam played with the toggle in his hand and asked calmly, "Where is the recipe for the blue brick?"
Some time ago, his caravan went to the Shadow Leopard Kingdom to do business. When passing through a newly built city in the northwest, they stayed there for one night.
Then they discovered something like a blue brick, and a thoughtful person secretly brought one back, which made Occam very satisfied in every aspect.
Not only is it neat and tidy, but its hardness is also very high, far exceeding that of stones mined from the mountains.
According to people in that city, this kind of green brick is made from sand and ore mixed in a certain proportion. It is not only high-yield, but also very low-cost.
And it can be used directly after it is made, which can save a lot of manual digging time.
Occam saw the prospect of blue bricks at a glance. As long as he mastered this technology, he could build a taller and larger city in a hundred or two hundred years and carry forward the Git family.
Even after hundreds of years of development, the Git family might be able to establish a new country.
This kind of green brick has extraordinary strategic significance, and he must get it.
After Ockham cast his gaze over, Bugatti was frightened and said tremblingly: "I'm sorry, Lord Marquis, we didn't buy back the craftsmanship of the blue bricks."
Occam angrily yelled: "What did I tell you before I left? You have to buy it no matter what, don't you think the money is too little? Then add another 20,000!"
"Sir." Bugatti knelt down with the dozen nobles, crying bitterly.
"Not only did the little lord refuse to sell, he also wanted to snatch the fifty thousand gold coins we brought over. We were so angry that we started to resist, but unexpectedly we were no match for him. All the knights without titles were killed by him. Due to our status as nobles,
He didn't kill us, but he beat us up and drove us back."
Bugatti followed the idea in his mind and accused Chris of his evil deeds with added fuel and jealousy, trying his best to appear innocent.
"Crack!" Occam crushed the green brick in his hand into powder, arousing overwhelming anger, and his hair stood on end.
He squeezed out a few cold words from between his teeth: "He killed all the knights I sent out?"
Bugatti whispered: "Yes."
"It's so lawless!" Occam slapped the table in front of him to pieces. "This damn boy, relying on his meritorious service in the development order, is so rampant. He really thinks that I, Marquis Occam, is easy to bully.
?"
His voice was earth-shattering, and his rage could be heard throughout the Marquis Palace.
The servants who were working all lowered their heads in fear, doing what they were doing carefully, fearing that they would make a mistake and incur the wrath of the master.
Occam felt a heartache in his heart. He had lost hundreds of knights. Even he, the Marquis, was a little overwhelmed. He had lost almost one-third of the fighting force in the territory.
Occam shouted angrily: "Bugatti!"
"Arrived!" Bugatti quickly straightened up.
Occam gritted his teeth and said: "Go and inform all the nobles in Yale City and nearby fiefdoms, and ask them to bring all the family knights to my Marquis Mansion. I want to declare war on that boy who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth!"
Although he had known that there would be such a result, Bugatti was still shocked when he heard Occam say these words himself.
Bugatti bit the bullet and said: "Yes!"
The other nobles in the hall were all silent, too frightened to say a word.
They knew that something would happen next that would shock the entire aristocratic circle of the Eagle Kingdom.
Bugatti turned and left to fulfill Occam's orders.
In the next few days, residents of Yale City felt that the atmosphere was somewhat unusual.
The guards patrolled more frequently, and many nobles came from outside the city with their retinue of knights, rushing towards the Marquis Mansion.
Various gossips spread frequently, making the whole city panic.
However, the Marquis Mansion remained calm, and even the Marquis did not come forward to explain what happened.
Five days later, the residents of Yale City were surprised to see the city's supreme ruler, the noble Marquis Ockham, personally setting off with hundreds of knights, heading northwest.
