In the rye field outside the small village of Nisei, the rye has grown into a field, like a golden ocean.
When the breeze blows, the rye sways like waves. The waves of wheat are rolling, which makes people feel relaxed and happy!
This period is also the busiest time for villagers.
Most of the villagers stopped digging soil or moving limestone and started working on their own fields.
Harvest, dry, and then pack the rye into various storage items or keep it at home.
Everywhere you can see wheelbarrows carrying baskets of rye from the wheat fields back to the village.
The unicycle came in handy at this time and was deeply loved by the masses and received unanimous praise!
If only it weren't so noisy!

…
The next day, when the sun was in the middle and the villagers were still working hard under the scorching sun, a huge group of people came from the direction of Patras and arrived at William's small village of Nisei.
The leader was none other than Viscount Green’s confidant, Knight West.
Next to Knight West, there are two knights who are also wearing full body armor and wearing sharp weapons at their waists.
Three knight levels!
Such a lineup naturally alarmed William, who had been monitoring the surrounding situation with a magic mirror.
William led the escort members out of the earthen hut and stood in front of the West knights.
Although William knew the purpose of Knight West and the others coming here, and this was already a routine matter for them, William still asked Knight West expressionlessly, "Knight West, you brought so much without going through me.
Enter my territory with permission. Are you here to send me an invitation from Viscount Green? Or does Viscount Green mainly want to invade my territory and start an endless war with me?"
When the West Knights and others heard William's words, they seemed to have heard some big joke. They were stunned for a moment, then grinned and looked at William and the guards standing behind him with a straight face, laughing wildly.
After a while, Knight West reluctantly stopped his laughter and said, "I have to say, Lord Baron Dickas, you are really humorous! Do you think that with those dolls behind you, armed with weapons, they can be used as weapons?
Have the soldiers come to use it?"
Knight West looked at the group of escorts behind William with disdain.
The faces of the escort members were all ugly, and Jacques Porter was even full of anger, breathing heavily, and glared at the West Knight fiercely.
However, Knight West didn't take him seriously at all. Hercules Potter could bully the villagers, but facing a real knight, it was just a matter of sword.
Knight West's eyes were always on William, "Lord Baron Dickas, please forgive us for our rudeness! We come with the hope of life!"
As he spoke, he ignored William, looked around at the surrounding villagers of Nisei Village, raised the corners of his mouth, and said loudly, "Viscount Grien said, in order to celebrate the new lord of Nisei Village, this winter, Patra
The entrance fee to the city..."
The villagers in the small village of Nisei listened with hope, thinking they would hear good news.
However, Knight West's lips suddenly burst into a cruel smile, ruthlessly shattering the villagers' extravagant hopes, "This winter, the entry fee to the city of Patras will be one pis gold coin and five francs per person.
silver!"
"You can exchange it with rye, or of course you can use cash directly!"
Most of the villagers suddenly fell into panic.
At this time, Knight West announced gently, "Untouchables, cheer, this is a gift from your lord!"
"You can think carefully, which is more important, life or money?"
"Sir Knight, but we don't have so much money!" An old-looking villager summoned up the courage and begged, "Can you tell Lord Viscount Green that he can maintain the same entry fee as last year?
If we are all swallowed up by the cold winter, Lord Viscount Green will no longer be able to harvest any food from us next year! Keeping us is like keeping a cow that can produce milk. Viscount Green will get a steady stream of fresh food.
of milk…”
Before William could say anything, Old John could no longer listen. He shouted angrily, "Bold! This is the territory of Baron Dickas, not Viscount Green!"
Old John was in charge of wages during this period, and his prestige was also revealed. When Old John drank, the old-looking villager immediately lowered his head and did not dare to say any more.
Knight West then sneered, stood up again, ignored Old John, and said directly to the old villager and other villagers, "I'm sorry about this too! But I'm sorry, this is Grien.
I cannot disobey the Lord Viscount’s order!”
"This is also the result of Baron Dickas's anger against Viscount Greene last time. The honor of the nobility cannot be offended. Just increasing the price a little is the result of Viscount Greene's restraint."
"You can turn to your lord, Baron Dickas. Since he chose to offend Viscount Green, he should have the courage to bear all the consequences! This mistake should not be borne by you!"
"Of course, you can also choose not to spend this winter in Patras!"
"Oh, by the way, Lord Baron Dickas, Lord Viscount Green is a generous man. Although you offended him last time, he is still willing to provide you with a stable residence during the long winter!
"
"It's just that the price has a slight deviation. The villa that cost 800 gold pis coins last time has been bought by someone, and now there is only one villa left with a price of 1,200 gold pis coins. Lord Baron, hurry up!"
What is arrogance? The behavior of Knight West is completely arrogant, and he does not take William seriously at all.
The arrival of the three knights and the Frost Moon is the reason for the arrogance of the knights of West!
Without strength, you will not be valued by others!
However, some villagers were easily led into the rhythm by Knight West, thinking that William had harmed them. Resentments arose in their hearts, and they couldn't help but start talking.
Old John suddenly felt the pressure and broke into cold sweat. He opened his mouth to say something, but was stopped by William.
The escort behind William was much more disciplined than the villagers. Although they had doubts, no one made a sound and kept the queue undisturbed.
As for William, his expression remained the same, looking on with a cold eye, without any change at all.
This kind of performance did not satisfy Knight West. He snorted secretly and cast a suggestive look at Adams who was hiding among the villagers.
Adams originally didn't want to come out, but the West Knights directly "called" him. He didn't want to be the first, so he had to stand up bravely.
During this period, through Andrew, Adams got his wish and got in touch with Viscount Green, and got Viscount Green's promise, but correspondingly, at some point, he had to stand up.
"Good afternoon, Lord Baron!" Adams said with an awkward smile.
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Adams, which made Adams feel scared and a little proud of himself.
"Do you think I'm fine now? Mr. Adams!" The expression on William's face did not look surprised at all, which made Adams, who was observing him secretly, feel bad in his heart.
He didn't know that William knew all about his little actions for more than half a month.
Adams laughed dryly again, "It seems, well, it seems a little bad. Of course, this is only temporary."
"Oh, really?" William smiled half-heartedly!
At this time, Knight West's cold snort came clearly, causing Adams's face to change suddenly as he heard it clearly.
This is the West Knight expressing his dissatisfaction.
Adams didn't dare to talk about it at the moment, so he had to go directly to the topic, "Baron, do you need to give us an explanation?"
"An explanation? What explanation? You bunch of untouchables, when will the Baron need to give you an explanation? The Baron should not be so kind to you during this period!" Old John became furious and pointed at Adams' nose and cursed.
Adams hesitated to speak.
William stopped Old John from scolding Adams with indifferent eyes, and then said to Adams, "Mr. Adams, Old John is right, what do I need to explain to you?"
As soon as the words came out, the villagers started to commotion, their eyes flashing with unknown meaning!
Knight West's last strike was very timely, "Look, villagers of Nisei Village, look at what your lord is saying? He doesn't care about your lives at all! He doesn't want you to go to Patras at all.
City for the winter!”
As soon as the words came out, the villagers' discussion became louder, with a hint of anger in their words.
Although the guards behind William had strange movements in their eyes, they still maintained a complete formation and were not instigated by West's words, causing the formation to become chaotic. This made William nod slightly in his heart, and also made Wei, who was observing secretly,
Steve became even more dissatisfied.
This is not a scene he wants to see!
The scene in his imagination, but William lost his sense of proportion when he was caught up in the discussion of the entire small village of Nisei. Whether William was forced to bear the additional expenses of the villagers to enter the city, or William did not care about the life and death of the villagers and only wanted to go to the city to be happy.
This will cause William to lose his prestige among the villagers in the small village of Nisei, and they will never listen to him again, and finally become the puppet of Viscount Green.
