In the spacious hall, as Sol and his people rushed out quickly, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
The strong smell of blood continued to come from the surroundings, along with some low wailing sounds, which made people palpitate.
The surrounding hall was densely covered with corpses. Nearly a hundred corpses were piled up. The smell of blood was so strong that it made people feel sick.
However, in the hall, there was nothing strange on the faces of the people standing around, but their eyes were vaguely staring at Adil in the distance, with some heart palpitations that had not faded away.
Standing in the middle of the hall, smelling the bloody smell around him and feeling the strange looks coming from around him, Adil had no reaction.
"Are you scared?"
Standing there, he looked at Ariel and asked with a smile.
"No... not afraid." A faint voice came from the side.
Standing behind Adil, looking at the densely packed corpses in the hall, Ariel felt a little nervous, but she still replied.
After listening to her words and looking at the girl in gray robe in front of him, Adil nodded and did not continue speaking.
After a while, there were faint shouts from outside.
Thor was covered in blood, holding a bloody sword in his hand, and walked in quickly with his men.
At this time, compared to when he went out before, there were more people behind him, and there was also some blood on his body.
"Lord Adier, I have troubled you before."
Walking into the hall, Sol's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He first glanced around, then looked at Adil in front of him and thanked him.
In front of him, listening to his words, Adil showed a polite smile on his face: "It's just a small favor."
"This is no small favor."
Thor laughed, and then said: "I still have some things to deal with here quickly, and I don't have time to entertain you at the moment."
"Master Adier, you can go down and rest for a while. After I finish handling the matters in the castle, you can come and join the banquet I organized for you."
"Then I will wait." The smile on Adil's face remained unchanged: "I hope the waiting time will not be too long."
"Don't worry, it will be solved soon."
The expression on Sol's face was a little ferocious, and his eyes were a little murderous, and he looked vaguely at the people waiting around him.
"Ah!" Several screams came from the surroundings at the same time.
In the spacious hall, several guests who had been invited before let out a scream and were chopped down to the ground by the guards walking around.
Seeing this scene, the faces of the other guests suddenly turned pale.
"Until I solve the rebellion in the castle, all of you, sir, please stay in the hall."
At the front, Thor's face was cold: "Otherwise, it's hard to say what will happen to you adults."
Abandoning these words, he left some people to guard here, and then walked out again with the rest.
"Lord Adier, please come with me."
On the side, a black-robed guard walked up to Adil with a respectful expression and spoke to him.
In response, Adil nodded: "Lead the way."
Under the leadership of the black-robed guards in front of him, Adil walked out with Ariel beside him.
···············
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
During these seven days, the castle underwent a major purge.
Facing Thor, a familiar lord, most of the guard group, which had been barely controlled by Sital, remained neutral, and some officers even turned against them and moved closer to Thor.
Soon, the rebellion in the castle was suppressed, and even Sitar himself was killed by Thor, leaving only a few people who barely escaped.
After dealing with the rebellion and regaining control of the castle, Thor held another banquet in the previous hall and invited all the surrounding nobles.
At noon, the sun is very bright.
Walking on the brand new carpet, Adil walked forward under the leadership of a black-robed attendant in front.
Because of his handsome appearance that was different from others, he attracted some people's attention as soon as he walked into the hall.
Seeing Adier's arrival, some people in the hall suddenly turned pale, as if they were thinking of the scene a few days ago.
"Is that the powerful knight in the rumors?"
In the corner of the hall, looking at Adil's appearance, someone wondered: "Why are you so young?"
On the side, some nobles also showed doubts in their eyes, as if they couldn't believe it.
Adil's performance a few days ago had been spread among those present during this period, causing a commotion in the castle.
Many nobles had some doubts about the authenticity of this news, but there were too many witnesses at the time, which made them reluctant to believe it.
At this moment, looking at Adil's young appearance, doubts suddenly arose in his heart again.
Before he had time to think about it, a voice suddenly sounded in front of him, attracting the attention of the people around him.
At the front of the hall, I saw Thor put on a red dress, with a very friendly smile on his face, and he did not look at all like the majestic look he had a few days ago.
"Everyone is welcome to attend this banquet!"
Standing at the front, he raised his wine glass high, looked at the people below and smiled.
The surroundings fell into silence at first, and then burst into violent applause.
Listening to the applause around him, Sol's expression remained unchanged, and he seemed to be very satisfied with everyone's performance: "This time, in addition to inviting you to the banquet, I also want to announce some news."
"The Moore family participated in the rebellion, all members of the clan were imprisoned, and the territory will be taken back by me."
Under the gazes of everyone below, Sol's expression remained unchanged and he quietly told the news.
Before the people below could react, he spoke again: "In addition, due to Lord Adier's help in this rebellion, I decided to hand over the territory of the Moore family to Lord Adier."
"this···"
Below, listening to Sol's words, everyone below looked at each other.
Looking at Adier, someone's face changed a little, as if he wanted to say something, but looking at Sol's face in front of him, he didn't stand up yet.
"Since everyone has no objection, then it is agreed."
Seeing the reactions of everyone below, Thor showed a smile on his face: "Congratulations, Lord Adier, you will be a baron from now on."
"Thank you, sir." Adier also looked at him with a smile on his face.
After announcing this, Sol said something more while standing on the stage, and then announced that the banquet had officially begun.
Looking around, Adil sat directly in the corner, closed his eyes in boredom, and entered a meditative state.
Ahead, Thor passed by nobles one after another, making bursts of conversation from time to time.
This was also the main reason why he held this banquet. In addition to announcing the previous things, it was also to appease the lords in the castle and reduce the impact of the previous rebellion.
Several hours passed before the banquet ended.
Early the next morning, accompanied by more than a dozen guards, Adier and Ariel walked slowly outside the castle.
The roadside is desolate, with some plants and trees multiplying tenaciously in the wild, bringing a little greenness.
There were some wild beasts running around, but not many mutated creatures were seen, which surprised Adil.
"Lord Thor will send troops to patrol around every day to deal with the dangers around the castle."
Seeing Adil's expression, he seemed to understand his doubts. The black-robed guard leading the team explained: "If you stay farther away from the castle, it will become like the wild."
Listening to his words, Adil nodded to express his understanding.
At noon the next day, they arrived outside a manor.
Because of the dangers in the wilderness of this world, the manor in front of you has many defensive measures. Not only are there fences but also high walls, which are enough to resist the attacks of some ordinary mutant monsters.
In front, there are already some people waiting.
It was an old man with a densely wrinkled face, and the red linen robe on his body looked a bit shabby. He walked forward with a respectful expression.
Behind the old man, several middle-aged and young people were also following him. They looked somewhat similar and should be of the same race.
"Sid, this is Baron Adier, the future lord of this land."
Looking at the old man in front of him, the black-robed guard on horseback introduced him with a calm expression.
"My Lord Baron..."
After listening to the words of the black-robed guard, the old man standing in front quickly spoke to Adil.
After seeing Adil, several people behind him quickly came forward and looked at Adil respectfully.
"Master Adier, do you need to keep these guards?"
After a while, looking at Adil on the side, the black-robed guard asked respectfully: "This place is very close to the wild. There are usually some mutated monsters. Although with your power, Lord Adier, you can't."
No matter what goes wrong, some little things still need help."
"This is also Lord Saul's wish."
He looked at Adier and said respectfully.
"Then stay." After listening to his words, Adil nodded.
After saying these things, under the leadership of Sid, they entered the manor ahead.
The manor seemed a bit messy, and there were some dried blood stains that had not been completely cleaned up, walking around.
There were some servants settling inside. At this time, all of them were called out by Sid and others to greet Adier, the new master.
"Lord Baron, there are more than a hundred families in the manor, and almost five hundred people live in them. They are all private slaves in the manor. You can make your own arrangements."
Standing in front of Adil, Sid looked respectful: "If you are willing, you can also expel these people."
On the side, listening to his words, the faces of several servants who came out to greet him suddenly turned pale, as if they were frightened by his words.
"Besides this manor, how many people are there elsewhere?"
Standing there, listening to Sid's words in front of him, Adil asked.
"this···"
Listening to Adil's question, cold sweat broke out on Sid's face: "Baron, in addition to this manor, you also have five villages with a population of about a thousand."
