My Magic Age

Chapter 485 283. Transporting Wine

After I agreed to sign a magic contract to keep it secret, An finally told me the whole story.

In the northern provinces, it is not uncommon for a noble to have several wives. People here believe in the Statue of Liberty, and the Statue of Liberty does not advocate monogamy in her teachings, which is very consistent with the actual situation in the north. If monogamy is implemented, three-quarters of women will be homeless or live alone, so polygamy is implemented here, which is more in line with the living needs here. .

Count Zimmerman married five wives in total. Only the first wife, Jenny, was the daughter of a noble viscount in the neighboring province. Jenny gave birth to two children for Count Zimmerman, Ann and Demi, who are also Count Zimmerman's only son and daughter. The remaining wives were married later and did not raise children for Count Zimmerman.

When the barbarians first attacked the manor, Count Zimmerman arranged a retreat for his family. He arranged for Ann, Demi and all the wives to hide in the wine cellar. Of course, Count Zimmerman's sister, Lady Alia, happened to be a guest at Zimmerman Manor at the time and was also involved in the disaster.

Including the personal maids brought by the ladies, there were a total of thirteen ladies hiding in the wine cellar, but Lady Alia's maid had the worst personality. When Count Zimmerman's entourage died, Anthony killed Alia's maid first, and then the maid of Ann's mother, Lady Jenny. Lady Jenny's maid gave up her life to let Ann go.

The four servants actually had great differences with each other. Anthony and Joseph had similar ideas. They believed that since they were locked in the wine cellar, this was a godsend opportunity, and they should enjoy the happy life of the noble earl. But the groom Hank and the gardener thought that they should be more low-key, and that Anthony and Joseph's actions were purely seeking death.

The winemaker Anthony and the groom Hank were stronger. They were veterans who had retired from the battlefield. They were fearless about life and death and were the kind of criminals who could flee to the ends of the earth at any time. The fat chef Joseph was an old pervert who loved drinking. The gardener was the most mysterious. Until now, everyone called him the gardener and no one knew his name.

The groom Hank and the gardener did not want to bully the maids around the mistress of the manor. The two occupied a lounge, stored some food, and stayed indoors all day.

After the death of the attendant, Anthony and Joseph did not have any sexual intentions towards the wives of Count Zimmerman at first. At most, they just said some frivolous words or touched the remaining younger maids.

They only dared to tease the maids around the ladies. The habits they had developed over the years made them have some awe of the countess.

On the contrary, some maids who were physically violated wanted to seek the protection of the ladies and tell their complaints to them. At this time, in order to protect themselves, the wives of Count Zimmermann ignored the maids' pleas and acquiesced to Anthony and Joseph's actions.

They pushed out several of their closest maids with their own hands.

However, life in the wine cellar is not just one or two days. After a few days, no one appeared to rescue them, and they would still wait patiently. A week passed, and two weeks passed again... still no one showed up, and the despair of being trapped in the wine cellar spread to everyone's heart.

'Everyone will die in this wine cellar that is like a tomb! '

This is almost the thought of everyone trapped in the wine cellar. When the shadow of death looms in their hearts, the darkest emotions hidden in their hearts will be infinitely magnified. Anything that they dared not think about before will slowly ferment under this invisible pressure, and eventually the inner demon will defeat reason.

Wine is the medium of all evil sources, especially in such a huge wine cellar, drinking and entertainment has become a must to kill time every day, especially the northerners of the empire love to drink.

Although Hank the Horseman was quite upright, his biggest weakness was that he liked to drink. When he got drunk, his temperament became even more violent, especially after he accumulated countless despair in his heart, he became like a different person.

After drinking once, with the help of the maids, Anthony finally pulled Hank the Horseman into the water as he wished. After Hank sobered up, he regretted it. Since he had made a mistake, Hank had nothing to hesitate about, especially since the ladies of Count Zimmerman were quite good-looking, so he agreed with Anthony's approach. The four of them simply divided up the ladies of Count Zimmerman in the lounge, including his daughter and sister Lady Alia. .

Anthony occupied the mother and daughter, Lady Jenny and Demi, while Joseph took a fancy to Lady Alia and a girl with a hint of orc blood. The other four Zimmerman wives were sent to the lounge of Maf Hank by Anthony...

When Ann and I walked to the lounge of Maf Hank, it was already empty and a little messy, but it was much better than Anthony's lounge. At least the women were dressed normally, but they were a little listless. The remaining women sat in the room at a loss, covering their faces with their hands, and seemed unable to face Ann.

It can be seen that they were not injured at all. The groom Hank and the gardener should not have forced them. However, seeing that they were so ashamed when they saw Ann, they must have done a lot of things that were detrimental to the Zimmerman family.

Ann took these women back to Anthony's lounge with a cold face. It was Demi who opened the door. She had changed into a relatively clean dress. In the lounge, I saw a pale, graceful and elegant lady wrapped in a blanket. Even if there was a bruise on her neck, she was sitting in an oak chair at the moment, looking extraordinary. However, no matter how much powder she put on her face, it could not hide the erosion of time. She should be a well-maintained middle-aged woman.

I guess she should be Ann's mother, Mrs. Jenny. Before, Demi desperately looked for the key from Anthony, which should be to rescue her mother, Mrs. Jenny. I don't know what kind of abuse Mrs. Jenny received, which made Demi rush into the room and burst into tears.

Next to Lady Jenny stood Lady Alia, looking at the women kneeling on the ground calmly. I saw that although the middle-aged lady looked calm and even had a faint smile on her face, the coldness in her eyes was icy to the bone. This was the aristocratic family...

I didn't want to know too much about the secret history of the Zimmermann family, so I waited for An to return to the lounge, and then stayed outside the house under the pretext of casting a magic to make all the golden apple wine in the wine cellar disappear. In fact, I also asked everyone in the lounge to stay in the lounge when I cast a spell. No one could walk out of the lounge, otherwise they would be taken into a strange plane by my magic.

I think this lame excuse is terrible, which is equivalent to telling An directly: I don't want you to know the secret of my magic!

An agreed very tactfully, and soon, the door of the lounge was tightly closed.

Then, I took the magic hammer of "Time and Space Breaker" and cast a spell to set up a "teleportation gate" leading to Xinliu Valley in a very smooth passage, and then walked in...

...

A drop of cold water fell into my collar, which made me feel excited.

The underground cave of Xinliu Valley is a little colder and more humid than the wine cellar.

Standing by the altar of the underground cave of Xin, I saw two capable orc warriors guarding the door of the stone house. When they saw me coming out of the teleportation gate, they were not surprised at all, but ran towards me excitedly to salute.

I first asked the names of the two orcs politely, then shouted their names and asked an orc to take a message to Kalancuo in the village: let her bring at least fifty strong orcs to the altar to carry the wine barrels.

Then, I asked another orc to go back to the wine cellar with me. In the wine cellar, with the help of the orc, I successfully built a step with several wine barrels under the vent, then climbed up the vent along the steps and easily got inside.

After a difficult climb, I finally returned to the garden of Zimmermann Manor.

At this time, Captain Cynthia was eagerly waiting at the entrance of the cave. Seeing that I took so long to come up, she asked me about the situation inside.

Because I promised An that I would help him keep the secret of the wine cellar, I only said that Count Zimmermann died in battle while guarding the manor, and only some women in the manor were trapped in the wine cellar.

Cynthia wanted to organize people to dig up this several-meter-deep wine cellar and then rescue people.

But I said to Cynthia: "Captain, I have a way. Give me two days and I will bring them out of the wine cellar intact!"

Cynthia nodded readily this time and said: "Okay, I'll give you two days. After two days, I will wait for you at this vent. If I can't see you, I will find a way to dig it up!"

At this time, Basil, who was standing on the roof, jumped down from it, ran to Captain Cynthia, and said directly: "It was found that there were lone barbarians in the town of Mas. They seemed to be searching for something!"

"Falcon Squad, get ready to go!" Captain Cynthia said without hesitation.

The Minotaur Luka hesitated and didn't want to follow Cynthia and the others. He wanted to stay at the vent of the manor and wait for me.

After Captain Cynthia left with Wayne, Xiu and Basil, the attentive Luka pointed to the bruises on my neck where Anthony pinched me and asked, "Jia, are you injured?"

I punched his chest with my fist, then smiled and said, "Believe me, it's just a small accident..."

I went into the vent again, this time with ease.

...

Everything was done silently in the dark, without even a torch.

The furry big feet stepped on the flat ground compacted with clay, and actually printed clear footprints, leading to the portal not far away.

The sturdy body dripped with round beads of sweat. The huge oak barrel weighing hundreds of pounds was quite strenuous even for these strong orcs to carry, but no orc complained at this time. They were doing their best to carry the huge oak barrel and walked towards the portal flashing with lightning.

I sat on top of a tall pile of wine barrels, and watched dozens of strong orcs carrying barrels of golden cider into the portal, feeling quite emotional.

Who would have thought that just half a year ago, these orcs were still pale and thin. They suffered discrimination in the city of El and lived in hunger. Now they can graze, hunt, collect herbs and cut wood in Xinliu Valley. If they are lucky, they can hunt a fat white saber-toothed tiger. The orcs have established an orc village in Xinliu Valley. The stable life allows them to prepare for the next generation. Some orc girls are drying herbs in the village with big bellies. In a few months, more lives will be born in the village.

At this moment, more than half of the golden apple wine in the wine cellar has been emptied.

The orc female warrior Kalancuo stood beside me, directing these orcs to move barrels of golden apple wine into the cave in Xinliu Valley. Kalancuo can be said to be the most careful housekeeper. She will clearly record every piece of supplies that belongs to me, and she will never ask any extra questions. As long as I don’t say it, she will not ask it on her own initiative.

As barrels of wine were emptied, the entire underground wine cellar was exposed to a large area of ​​empty space.

I asked Kalancuo: "What is Xinliu Valley lacking recently?"

"The most lacking is food. You have been out of El City for nearly a month. During this period, we have not replenished a grain of food. The wheat flour has been completely sold out ten days ago. Now we eat the traditional food of the orcs all day long - raw dried meat stewed with wild vegetables!" Kalancuo answered truthfully.

As soon as she mentioned raw dried meat stewed with wild vegetables, my stomach was churning. I still remember the wild vegetable soup that tasted as bad as Chinese medicine. I frowned and said, "Didn't I bring some seeds? Why haven't I seen any effect yet?"

Kalancuo explained, "There are more weeds in the wheat field than wheat ears. I tried to ask some people to weed the wheat field, but they trampled down more wheat than pulled out the grass. Even the beast girls have a headache about weeding..."

I waved my hand weakly and said, "Forget it, let's forget about planting first. I will solve the food problem as soon as possible. Is there anything else?"

Kalancuo said, "There is also a lack of salt. Those saws for logging should be replaced with new ones. The magic boxes containing intermediate magic herbs are almost gone and need to be replenished as soon as possible."

"Got it!" I said.

At this moment, I was thinking: What a headache!
