Succubus' Manor

Albert and Carl were sitting in the room drinking, and there were dried meat and fish floss on the table as appetizers. Their cheeks were flushed when they drank. The empty jug on the table was taken away, Albert picked up the jug, and filled his and Karl's wine glasses.

As Chi Yan's close knights, Albert and Karl have extraordinary status.

In Stettin, they only need to obey Chi Yan's orders, and businessmen will give them gifts every day, no matter where they go, they will receive the highest courtesy.

This is something Albert and Carl have never enjoyed.

After all, they were sent to the Holy Court to receive teaching and training when they were still young. Albert had been on the battlefield anyway, but the first time Karl left the Holy Court was to escort Chi Yan to the manor.

Albert, who had been on the battlefield, did not benefit from this experience. His credit was taken away by the knight commander. The knight commander who had been staying in the rear safety zone got the title after the war and became a viscount.

And Albert is still just an ordinary knight.

After drinking, Albert finally couldn't help telling his past to Karl: "After my father passed away, my mother remarried, and she didn't want to take me with her, so she sent me to the Holy Court."

For the children of non-heirs, going to the Holy Court to become a knight is their best way out, but other children are sent because of the love of their parents, and he was sent because his relatives did not want him.

His mother didn't want him, his aunt didn't want him, and none of his relatives were willing to accept him.

In order to put him in the holy courtyard, the mother also spent a lot of money.

Albert has always felt like an outcast, and now he has finally found his place.

He cried as he spoke. People who drink alcohol will magnify their emotions. Karl was calm at first, but when Albert cried, he couldn't hold back. The two strong men hugged their heads and cried, feeling that they had passed Miserable, the end of all hardships.

"Let's go! Let's go out for a stroll!" Albert wobbled and dragged Carl to stand up. The two stumbled out of the room. The servant guarding the door sighed as they looked at their backs.

Forget it, as long as these two don't cause trouble.

Albert and Carl lived together. They bought a house with money. Neither of them had any relatives.

As soon as they walked out of the gate, they saw a group of people standing on the street, people rubbing shoulders, crowds of people, some children were held by their fathers on their necks, people were talking and applauding, it was very lively.

Albert and Carl were blown by the warm wind outside the house, and became even more drunk. They grabbed a young man outside and asked, smelling of alcohol, "Why are there so many people? What happened?!"

The young man was startled, his eyes widened, and under the duress of two strong men, he said tremblingly, "Look at the bicycle."

Albert asked with his tongue open: "What bicycle? What is a bicycle?"

The young man looked at the middle of the crowd: "Where is it? It's a two-wheeled car! It's so stable!"

A group of people were watching it strangely, thinking it was like a trick.

Albert and Carl still didn't understand, but it didn't prevent them from knowing that there was something rare in the crowd, so they squeezed desperately, and the two strong men were almost squeezed into a thin sheet of paper.

"Wow! I can really ride!"

"Oh! It fell down again! He rode two steps just now!"

"Can this cart really be ridden? The carriage has four wheels!"

"The unicycle has only one wheel, so can't it move?"

"The unicycle needs to be pushed, but don't you count as human legs?"

Albert and Carl squeezed in with great difficulty, and saw a young man they didn't know was riding a strange two-wheeled bicycle. The man was wearing gorgeous clothes, and he was supposed to be a decent man. But his head was sweating, and his body was covered with ashes.

He put one foot on the pedal, then gave the other a couple of pushes, and waited for the wheel to slip before putting his foot on it.

This time he rode much longer, at least four times before he fell down.

The man who had no experience in falling hurriedly supported himself with his feet before falling.

He kept trying like this, and the onlookers didn't disperse, they continued to watch—they wanted to know if this strange bike could be ridden.

Albert and Carl's eyes widened.

"What is this?" Albert didn't know who he was asking.

The person next to him answered, "It's called a bicycle! It's a good thing from outside. I heard that you don't need a horse, you can go a long distance with pedals."

"However, he has fallen countless times, and he finally rode here from the castle."

After finishing speaking, the person who answered the conversation looked back at the castle. The gate of the castle is far away. If you walk, you only have time to catch your breath, and you will arrive there after a few dozen strides.

The drunkenness of Carl and Albert had subsided, and Albert continued to ask, "Is it sold by the merchants?"

The person who answered the call just now: "I heard that the lord asked someone to make it, such a good iron, hey!"

The person next to him: "What are you doing? Isn't the bicycle bad? It's so beautiful, can you make it out? You didn't spend any money."

"That's right, you have such a big brain, who do you want to be smarter than the lord?"

"This car must be useful! Your walnut-sized head can't figure it out!"

The person who answered the call was sprayed with disgrace, and hurriedly ran away with his head down.

The lord made it?

Albert and Carl glanced at each other.

Although I don't know why adults made two-wheeled vehicles, as long as they are made by adults, they must be useful.

Just when Albert was in a daze, the crowd suddenly burst into cheers: "It didn't fall!"

"The wheels are running!"

The young man on the bike seemed to have completely mastered his balance. At the beginning, the bike was twisting from side to side, as if he would fall down in a second, but he held on. People walked slowly behind him, to trotting, and then Until he took a big stride until he couldn't keep up at the end, watching the young man disappear in a blink of an eye on his bicycle.

"Two wheels can go so fast?!"

"Faster than a carriage!"

"The carriage uses wooden wheels, which will fall off. This kind of iron cart will definitely not fall off!"

Bicycles soon became a beautiful sight in the streets and alleys of Stettin. Those who bought bicycles were young masters from rich families. They rode to show off, to save face, and not to lose face in front of their friends. No matter how many times they fell, they had to persevere learn.

And because bicycles are very expensive, they have to use themselves to cushion the bicycles before they fall, so as not to damage the bicycles.

As a result, a group of young masters in Siddingli often had injuries all over their bodies, and their clothes and trousers were worn out.

But those who have learned it are very proud. They ride bicycles in the city every day. They don't go to the narrow streets. They like to ride bicycles on the open streets and enjoy the envious eyes of passers-by.

While the young masters were working hard on bicycles, the construction of the outer city was also in full swing.

The planned streets were quickly tamped. People pushed wooden wheelbarrows filled with clay, and some young and strong men carried logs and called for people to lay the foundation together.

Merchants would occasionally come over to take a look at the progress. They followed the rules set by Chi Yan when he was paving the road. Everyone can get paid for that year if they complete the prescribed work every day. Otherwise, they will have to postpone it. take money.

The work that could have been done in ten days can now be done in five days. The streets in the outer city are not yet paved with stone slabs, and they will be paved after the houses are built.

Merchants sometimes gossip and talk about this matter, and they will say with admiration: "As expected of the lord, he is really a great man with wisdom and foresight, and he is doing great things!"

Chi Yan, who is doing big things, is now preparing to solve some seemingly trivial things.

"Go and tell the stewards of each street to recruit people. It is best to give priority to the elderly." Sitting on a chair, Chi Yan said to Kadi, "These people are responsible for cleaning the streets and guiding people to throw garbage into the trash can."

Chi Yan feels that people need a sense of happiness in their lives, and most of the happiness comes from small details that are not noticed.

After arranging these things, Chi Yan went to see Old Bob who was about to be locked up.

Old Bob isn't about to, he's locked out.

A servant who is not valued by Chi Yan will naturally not be valued by his servants. Chi Yan still remembers that when he first met Old Bob, he was obviously a prisoner, but Old Bob acted like he was the master here. His aura of a superior is more like a nobleman than that of Bendinik's real viscount.

But now, Old Bob has lost his strong aura, is decadent and aging, his face can no longer hold the flesh, the loose skin on his face droops, coupled with a pair of very huge black eye bags, his whole body People seemed to be shrouded in darkness, and their bodies exuded a stench that no one could ignore.

Old Bob, who hasn't bathed all this time, is about to rot.

As soon as Chi Yan entered the room, he was almost smoked out.

Old Bob lowered his head and looked at Chi Yan with dark eyes.

But his food had been withheld for a long time, and he didn't even have the chance to pounce on Chi Yan for revenge.

Chi Yan asked the servant to open the door and window for ventilation, and he would go in after the smell inside dissipated.

After waiting for a while, Chi Yan stepped into the room again.

He sat on the chair opposite Old Bob and observed him silently.

He was worried that old Bob would be locked up.

Just when Old Bob couldn't speak after Chi Yan, Old Bob suddenly opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and he said with a chuckle, "Well, you don't want to come to see me, without me, My dog ​​doesn't listen."

Chi Yan sighed, his voice was gentle as if he was treating any elderly person.

"I came to see you because you are useless."

Chi Yan said gently and cruelly: "What you raise is not a dog, but a mouse."

"As long as the mice have leftovers to eat and holes to drill, they won't cause trouble for me."

Chi Yan: "I came to see you this time because I want to know where you, the mouse king, hide the food."

Old Bob gave him a hideous grin.

Chi Yan sighed inwardly.

It seems that I have to open the second gear after a long time.

Think a little excited.

The author has something to say: Chi Yan: "Long time no see! My golden finger!"

Goldfinger: "How long have you been using me? You have no heart!"
