Doctor of Science's Journey into Another World
Chapter 90 Compensation
Today is the day that Bai Hao and his group leave Garcia Territory. Compared to before, there are obviously a lot more people on the Earth Dragon Beast.
Not only did Claire's team board Bai Hao's earth dragon beast under the pretext of win-win cooperation, but even Audley took several believers including Oren to take a ride on Bai Hao's ride, with the purpose of going south to meet the saint who was preaching in the Swart Empire.
Since his four guards who were attacked by the black fog still needed long-term purification in the local Church of the Goddess of the Moon, Bai Hao could not refuse Audley's request.
Bai Hao got up very early today, at least much earlier than his normal wake-up time. At this moment, Bai Hao, with his somewhat messy silver hair, was quietly waiting for his door to be knocked.
"dong dong"
Although it was a little later than usual, Xing Lili still came to comb her hair as usual, so Bai Hao opened the door for Xing Lili as expressionlessly as possible.
"Today, we set sail again on our journey. I should comb the seventh big braid and the second small braid." Xing Lili said haltingly.
Bai Hao smiled when he heard that, walked to the mirror and sat down, saying, "It should be the twelfth braid. I remember that the braids of nobles will not be changed during long journeys."
"Oh, then I'll go back and prepare the hair accessories again!"
Xing Lili was about to turn around and leave the room, but Bai Hao grabbed Xing Lili's hand. Feeling Xing Lili's body tense up instantly, Bai Hao said helplessly, "It doesn't matter. Why should we follow etiquette so much? My mother's original request was just for me to stop having disheveled hair and look like a beggar."
Xing Lili nodded obediently upon hearing this, and silently came to Bai Hao's back again to start combing his hair. Although the two of them rarely communicated during the combing process, and Bai Hao was often thinking about the experiment to be carried out that day while Xing Lili was combing her hair, the quiet atmosphere today seemed a little subtle.
Suddenly, Xing Lili seemed to think of something and whispered, "Xiao Hao, Viscount Garcia came to the gate of the military camp before dawn to ask to see you, and it seems that he brought a lot of things with him."
"Let him wait a little longer, we'll go have breakfast first." Bai Hao said lightly.
Bai Hao knew that many secrets of the Campbell family were kept secret by his parents because he was under the age of thirteen, such as some of the Campbell's military secrets, political objectives, or the development plans for the territory in the next few decades.
In the Omo Empire, thirteen is not only the legal age for marriage, but also the legal age for children of nobles to inherit the title. If a noble dies and his children are under the age of thirteen, the title will be temporarily inherited by his spouse or brothers.
Bai Hao estimated that he would be thirteen years old when he returned to Campbell Territory from the Swart Empire. By then, his parents would probably have had several long talks with him all night long. For example, the current military actions of the Campbell family in Garcia would be explained accordingly.
After breakfast, Bai Hao came to a reception room in Campbell’s base and asked Colin’s adjutant to bring Viscount Garcia in. This matter had to be resolved quickly, after all, they were about to set off.
As soon as Boll came in, he knelt on the ground, crying and complaining that it was because of his negligence in discipline that his naive daughter mistakenly believed the slander of several merchants and servants, and then made a big mistake.
With this speech which lasted less than a minute, Boll easily changed his fault from incitement to crime to negligence of discipline. He also simply described the main culprit Miville as a naive girl who believed in slander. The final felony was entirely blamed on those traveling merchants and servants who appeared out of thin air.
Bai Hao watched the performance of Viscount Garcia and his daughter with a smile. When they talked about those merchants who secretly sold aphrodisiacs, they gritted their teeth and spoke with emotion. Then when they talked about his daughter's original intention but accidentally turned into the current situation, he suddenly burst into tears and regretted it.
Bai Hao almost wanted to applaud the performance of Viscount Garcia and his daughter. If some uninformed saints were present, they would probably have forgiven Miville on the spot.
"No matter what the specific circumstances are, my daughter Miville has always committed a serious mistake. I immediately punished Miville after hearing about it last night."
As he spoke, Paul opened an exquisite mahogany box, revealing a slender hand with the ring on it still on.
Bai Hao glanced at the box casually and said calmly: "Just one hand?"
This time, Miville's intention was definitely not just to covet Bai Hao's body. If Bai Hao assumed Miville with the greatest malice, it would not be an exaggeration to say that this drugging was an assassination.
Even Xing Lili, an orc, became like this after just drinking a sip of sugar water. If Bai Hao drank the whole bowl of sugar water, he would definitely be crippled if not dead.
Whether Miville was naive or stupid, it was an indisputable fact that her drugging almost poisoned the future Earl Campbell, so it would not be an exaggeration even if Bai Hao killed her directly.
But the actual benefits brought by a life are not enough after all, whether it is to consolidate the prestige of the Campbell family or from the perspective of the Campbell family's political layout.
Upon hearing this, Bol immediately said tremblingly: "I have already killed all the servants who bewitched Miville and the merchants who secretly sold aphrodisiacs. I have already taken their heads..."
"Humph! Just for this, you want to exchange my life for Bai Hao Campbell? Viscount Garcia, are you insulting me?"
Boll's words were interrupted by Bai Hao. He immediately lowered his head and dared not say anything more. As a noble who had lived for nearly forty years, he now knew clearly that Viscount Campbell was going to ask for an exorbitant amount of money.
"I encountered such danger even in the military base this time, which means it is not safe for me. The returning Earth Dragon Beasts will still need to land here for supplies in half a year, so the Campbell temporary military base here will not be removed for the time being."
"I was able to survive this disaster safely because of the blessing of the Bright Moon Goddess, and most of the Campbell soldiers are devout believers of the Bright Moon Goddess. However, the Campbell military base and the church are facing each other from north to south. The soldiers' travel to the church to pray will not only waste time but also affect the people of Garcia. Therefore, I request that Garcia lift the flight ban on Campbell soldiers during the period of the Campbell garrison!"
"Finally, since the Campbell garrison here was forced to stay here because I suffered from your invasion, all expenses during the Campbell army's stay should be borne by Captain Garcia!"
With just three sentences, Bai Hao legitimately turned Campbell's temporary base into a semi-permanent base. Not only did he lift Lord Garcia's nominal no-fly right to prevent other high-ranking nobles from being accused of something, he even demanded a large sum of money in the end. You know, the daily expenses of a legion are not small.
Bol listened to Bai Hao's words with sweat all over his forehead, and every word Bai Hao said made his heart tremble and bleed continuously. Looking at Bai Hao who had already walked to the door of the meeting room, Bol seemed to see a greedy beast.
At this time, Bai Hao's calm voice came from outside the conference room: "Viscount Garcia, why do I remember your daughter came to see me with sugar water in both hands?"
Bai Hao was gradually walking away, and Viscount Garcia and his daughter in the conference room turned pale upon hearing this, and Miville almost fainted.
Only then did Bol notice that there was a sword beside him. Even Bol, who was a magician, could feel that there was some powerful magic attached to the sword.
Bol stood up, looked at the trembling Miville, and saw through the window the Campbell soldiers patrolling in an orderly manner. The next moment, he resolutely picked up the enchanted sword on the ground.
