Succubus' Manor

Chi Yan went to see Mrs. Campbell. Mrs. Campbell and Benedict now live in a big house in Stettin. Although it is not as good as a castle, it is enough. Although Benedict is poor, fortunately Mrs. Campbell has Ability, even if he is not a lord, Benedict can still have food and clothing, but he can’t buy slaves for fun—but Benedict himself doesn’t like slaves, he used to like to hold banquets, but now he can’t, it seems to be nothing.

Now Benedict regards himself as an artist, spends money on the best paper and paint, and paints every day.

It's just that he has never made any progress, and Chi Yan occasionally receives gifts from him, all of which are his favorite works - Chi Yan even thinks it's ugly to hang the toilet.

But after all, it was the other party's wish. Those paintings were painted by Chi Yan, dried and put in the cabinet. He only waited for the day when Benedict really became a painter, and then took them out to "laugh" at the other party.

Mrs. Campbell didn't go out very much. The reason she invited Chi Yan this time was because she had prepared a medicine.

Insect repellent.

After people drink it, the parasites will be excreted.

And it has been tested on death row prisoners.

Nowadays, almost everyone has parasites in their bodies. This is unavoidable. Eating raw food and drinking unboiled water will allow the eggs to enter the body. In addition to the pollution of water sources in the early years, there is no exception.

There is no filtration system here, and there is no need to boil the water like Chi Yan. It is troublesome for people to eat and even fetch water for cleaning. In addition, the big city will dump excrement into nearby water sources, so diseases are rampant. If there is a hint, it will spread quickly.

Today's parasites will not kill people, but they will absorb nutrients from the human body when they are in the human body. People with parasites will not gain weight no matter how much they eat, and the nutrients will not be absorbed by the body.

It is still worse for the poor, who are weak in their prime and weaker in old age.

Mrs. Campbell is now accepting a wide range of disciples. Apart from Little Black and Little White, she also has many human apprentices, all of whom are children.

"A grown-up is not as good as a child's memory." That's what Mrs. Campbell said. She is as beautiful as ever, but her beauty has settled again, with a little more intellectuality, and her fiery red hair has become more shiny.

Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai stood beside her, but the three of them were completely different, and no one would recognize them as mother and child.

Mrs. Campbell asked Xiao Hei to pour a glass of sugar water for Chi Yan, and then she sat on the chair next to Chi Yan. She said, "I have already made the children drink the medicine."

The feces pulled by the children were full of parasites, which frightened the children.

Benedict was also forced to drink the medicine by Mrs. Campbell, and after taking it, he was ashamed to see others-he felt that he was the mother of the "worms".

Mrs. Campbell said to Chi Yan: "My lord, I want Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai to follow you. They are very smart. I have nothing to teach them. Moreover, they are demons. They can protect themselves and you."

Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai must have been greeted by Mrs. Campbell in advance. They walked up to Chi Yan and slowly lay down.

In a few years, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai have grown from children to teenagers. When they were young, they had a pair of indifferent and impersonal eyes.

Now that he has grown up, his eyes have a bit of humanity—he finally looks like a human being.

Chi Yan hesitated: "They are still too young."

Mrs. Campbell smiled: "My lord, you pity them because they are young, but others don't. If they want to gain a foothold here, they can't be attached to me forever."

She wants to find someone who can trust Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai to let them grow up by themselves and see the world with their own eyes.

"As well as dispensing medicine, they use poison," whispered Mrs. Campbell. "That's their most important skill."

Mrs. Campbell covered her mouth with her sleeve and said with a chuckle, "They can make the best poison if you just ask."

The best poison, just a little bit can poison a cow, and a small amount can poison hundreds of people.

Mrs. Campbell is a demon, but also a slave. She was born without moral education. Although her understanding of the world is not superficial, this also makes her no real distinction between good and evil. She only knows the pros and cons.

If it is beneficial to kill, then kill; if it is beneficial to save others, then save them.

But Chi Yan didn't hate her, and didn't even think she was cruel.

Because most people in this world are like this, even he himself cannot say that he is a selfless and kind person.

The only difference is that he used soldiers, while Mrs. Campbell used drugs.

In a way, he is also cruel. He knows what kind of life the civilians there will live after the people on Rose attack him. It may be worse than before. They have to do more work, but He couldn't get half of the previous salary, and was even forced to work as a slave to earn a living.

But can Chi Yan stop?he can not.

So he can only objectify people outside, so that his conscience and morality will not torture him.

He can go on.

Chi Yan looked at the two teenagers lying on the ground. Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai looked very similar. They were twins, with the same eyebrows and eyes, and even similar personalities.

But they were loyal, at least to him for now.

"Then let them follow me." Chi Yan nodded.

Mrs. Campbell breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at the two children lovingly, and she really cared and loved them like a mother, but this year she found that when the children grew up, they already felt that they were full-fledged and wanted to achieve their own careers.

If they used to hide and hide because they wanted to hide their demon identities, now they have no such worries. Fourteen or fifteen-year-old children feel that the sky is big and the earth is big, and Lao Tzu is the biggest. The most powerful and beautiful person I can think of is Chi Yan, so I can't wait to support Chi Yan.

As for what they really want, I'm afraid they haven't figured it out yet.

But Mrs. Campbell has already realized that she can't control them anymore. Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai look the same, but their personalities are very different. Xiao Hei is actually more like a human being. She still has compassion for poor people.

But Xiaobai is not, he doesn't even care about the demons, he is a natural weapon, a sharp knife, but the blade is thin, hard and easy to break.

She couldn't just watch her favorite children go to a dead end one day, so she could only entrust them to Chi Yan.

So in addition to the insecticide, Chi Yan also took two little tails from Mrs. Campbell.

Although Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai are also demons, but like Mrs. Campbell, they have mixed blood for many generations, and their faces are beautiful.

And it is a kind of seductive beauty.

So much so that as soon as Chi Yan brought him back to the castle, the word "The lord brought back two lovers" began to spread wildly in the castle.

The servants looked at Kleist with sympathy.

It's as if Kleist is a poor wife. When her husband was down and down, he was by her husband's side. When her husband became prosperous, he had a new love, and the new love was much younger than him!

Kleist: "..."

Chi Yan laughed for a long time when he heard about it, and he stretched out his hand to pull Kleist's cheek: "It's okay! You're still the prettiest one!"

Kleist reached out and grabbed Chi Yan's waist, and hit him hard. Chi Yan couldn't breathe with a smile: "Are you really angry?"

Kleist said jokingly, "Two little brats."

After Chi Yan sat down, he said, "More and more people have come here recently."

This time, the stewards, that is, the director of the street, submitted new population statistics. At this time last year, Stettin had more than 2 3 people, not including soldiers. This year, there were 5 people, and the number is still rising .

Under Chi Yan's instruction, the merchants have been transporting slaves to Stettin.

After these slaves arrive in Stettin, they will be placed in resettlement houses outside the city, and then they will be assigned jobs. After they work for a period of time, they will be taken away by the street directors.

After half a year, they can have their own household registration. This half year is the time for them to transition from slaves to free people.

After all, slaves don't know how to be free people. They need guidance and a sense of security.

"I'm going to kill a group of people." Chi Yan sighed, and he said, "Some merchants have already started to make ironware."

Ironware is naturally expensive, even rarer than gold and silver, because making ironware not only takes time, but also needs old craftsmen, while masons and carpenters are easy to get, but blacksmiths are rare.

Ironware is a weapon. At this stall, selling it to the Holy Court or the royal family can make them a fortune.

Even after finishing this single business, they will be able to retire.

There are also moths inside the chamber of commerce.

Chi Yan remembered reading a sentence before, when there is a [-]% profit, someone dares to step on the law of the world.

What's more, this is not a [-]% profit.

-

Josh took his godson to harvest clothes and quilts in Saket, and he doesn't go outside now. After Saket receives the goods, he will sell them to Aliya.

Aliye has no handicraft industry, only agriculture. Now many businessmen are eyeing Aliye's fat meat and can't wait to seize the market. Some merchants even set up a home in Aliye and want to become a member of the Aliye Chamber of Commerce.

Josh took out the silver flagon and took a sip of the wine. The woman next to him spoke to Josh: "What are you buying this time?"

Josh was still very polite: "Buy ready-made clothes and quilts."

The woman smiled and said, "I thought you were also here to buy an iron pot."

Josh looked at the businessmen gathered not far away, and he sighed, "Ironware is too expensive, I can't afford it."

The woman hit the nail on the head: "Don't you dare?"

Josh hammered his waist: "Lilia, stop laughing at me."

Lilia has grown taller again, and her father, Old York, has completely handed over the business to her, and in order to prevent her from being confused by men, he also found three beautiful lovers for her, so that she will not fall in love with her because of her deep love. A certain man gave the family as a gift to him. Now Lilia has become the leader of the family, the person in power, and is more mature and stable.

Everyone in the family, including her subordinates, hoped that she would collect iron utensils, whether it was iron pans and kitchen knives, and resell them after receiving them. These things can be made into weapons after melting!

The interests are touching, and she has recently felt that someone under her is ready to move, trying to surpass her to do things.

But all this made her feel very uneasy, and even her lover told her at night that he felt very scared, and he felt that the people around him had changed a lot.

Become more impetuous, more aggressive.

Lilia smiled: "Is the person in your hand still obedient?"

Josh: "Kill a few brave ones, and the others will be obedient."

Lilia became worried. This is the biggest difference between her and Josh. Josh's family is not all in business. His only relative, his nephew Alger, is not in business now, but doing other things Working, and married, it looks like he is ready to take root in Saket.

That's why Josh can treat his subordinates coldly and mercilessly.

There is no blood relationship, not relatives, so naturally they will not hesitate.

But she is different, her subordinates have been with her since she was a child, they are more like relatives.

If a family member makes a mistake, can he be killed directly?

Lilia: "I'm a little envious of Fitch."

That stupid young master has survived until now, and although he can't be the heir, he can still earn a fortune by traveling between several cities with his own small caravan.

The most important thing is that he seems to be terrified by the previous events, and even his cronies are also timid, and they dare not touch the ironware business at all.

So he didn't have to worry about it.

Josh handed the bottle to Lilia: "Be ruthless, if you are not ruthless, not a few people will die."

Josh: "Although the lord is merciful, he is only merciful to his people. He will not be merciful to betrayers."

"What's more, my lord no longer relies on merchants."

Josh looked in Stettin's direction: "Stettin will always be there, but the merchant, if there is no one, there will be another one."

Lilia took a deep breath.

Josh: "It's a trade-off. It's better to die a few, a dozen, dozens, than all of them."

Lilia smiled wryly: "I only need to kill a few, and they will oppose me."

Her seat was not as stable as expected.

Josh probably thought that Lilia could become his friend in the future, and their businesses didn't overlap much, so he offered advice without hesitation: "You can borrow guards from adults."

Lilia looked at Josh.

Josh: "As long as you give money, the adults should not refuse. When the time comes, you invite them together, and your people kill those people in the house, and then let the guards control their families. It's settled."

Lilia thought for a while: "Their children..."

Killed all?Then she is more likely to betray her relatives!

But if she didn't kill them, she was worried that the children of those people would remember this hatred, and she would have more enemies.

Josh: "Or you don't kill them, but lock them up and let their men divide up their things."

Lilia's eyes lit up, this was much better than killing people directly, even if she released them in the future, their original subordinates would automatically deal with them in order not to be robbed of what they got, even without her taking action.

At that time, it will not be her that these people will hold grudges against.

So Lilia saluted Josh, "Thank you."

Josh smiled and waved his hands: "The situation is so complicated now, multiple friends are best."

This favor, Lilia took it.

Many of the businessmen who gathered at the gate of the iron foundry came from other places. They did not follow Stettin to develop, but came after Stettin matured. They worked hard to get more benefits. I don't know what kind of thunderous means the lord has, but I just think the lord is kind.

If not kind, how can the lord treat the slaves kindly?

If it was not kind, how could the lord not kill the captives after winning the battle?

Most of the good people are weak and bully.

If they advance an inch and the lord retreats a point, they will be able to constantly test the lord's bottom line.

When they feel that the lord is as weak as they guessed, they will show their fangs and do it.

The dwarves didn't understand these twists and turns. Although they also felt that it was not good to sell iron pans and kitchen knives to merchants, the lord did not tell them not to sell them, so they could only continue to sell them.

Sometimes businessmen will find them quietly and ask them to make weapons.

They are even willing to pay a high price to take them to other cities, where they don't have to forge weapons by themselves, they only need to lead apprentices, and then they can enjoy power and beauty.

But the dwarves dare not, even if someone is tempted.

They were slaves in the early years, and they had been frightened out of their courage. They sincerely believed that they could only be human beings in the territory of the lord.

But the merchants persevered and finally persuaded a few dwarves.

They planned to steal people out at night.

Then get on the carriage and leave here quickly.

Triss quickly learned about it from the dwarves, and Triss had given birth to a child, a girl - which made her relieved, if it was a boy, she could only regenerate, but some Once she had a daughter, she would not have to have another child.

This is their racial habit. Girls will be cultivated to continue the race, while boys can only play the role of fighters. In critical situations, girls must be preserved first.

Because the children of female dwarfs must be dwarves, but male dwarfs may not be able to give birth to dwarves with women of other races, and they cannot continue this race.

Moreover, Triss's daughter is also very strong, and she does not recognize anyone. Anyone can take her. The maids take her the same way as her mother takes her. Triss has more energy to deal with Saked's government affairs.

"Leave them alone." Triss said to her subjects, "We have to pretend we don't know anything."

Her subjects were of all races, and at this moment an elf said, "We will catch them all when the time comes."

"What about the dwarf that was taken away?"

The subjects looked at Triss, they were worried that Triss would shield those dwarves because of her kinship.

Triss said indifferently: "There is no racial distinction in Saked, the people here are all Saked, who belong to the lord, whoever is a traitor will die."

The subjects got an accurate answer, and then they left.

Only the dwarven vassals remained.

They looked at Triss in panic, and a female dwarf lay on the ground and asked, "Master Triss, they are ours after all..."

They suffered together and suffered together, and the female dwarf shed tears.

Triss: "Are you going to chill the lord because of a few traitors?"

Triss's voice was not loud, but it was deafening at this moment: "Do you still remember that without the lord, we are slaves who died without anyone to bury them?"

"Our children, children's children, will always be slaves. Now you want me to violate the rules set by the lord and protect those traitors?"

The dwarves shrank their necks.

Some of them whispered: "You can lock them up for a longer period of time, and let them do hard work for a few years..."

Triss shook her head: "Once they find out that they have made such a big mistake but won't die, the others will only be bolder."

"What's more, if they are alive, will other dwarves not help them? When your friends and relatives beg you, can you say no?"

The dwarves trembled.

Triss said softly, "It's the lord who indulged you too much."

Triss: "You have to remember that we are today because of the lord. Our loyalty is not worth mentioning. Without us, the lord has more people available."

Triss said indifferently: "It's not that the lord needs us, but we need the lord."

"In order for the lord to never abandon us, we must do this." Triss looked at her compatriots.

They are kind and weak, she must wake them up, otherwise one day, their kindness and weakness will lead them into the cemetery.

The dwarf can be today, she will never allow the dwarf to become a slave again!

For this reason, she is willing to be an enemy of her people, they may scold her, but she doesn't care, she is not for these dwarves, not for the compatriots at this moment, but for the descendants of the dwarves, for their future .

Triss winked.

The guard came in from the corridor.

They seized the dwarves despite their pleas.

"Master Triss! You can't do this to us! You are also a dwarf!"

"Do you remember who you are?! You are a dwarf! You are our patriarch! The patriarch does not protect the people!"

"Tris! Have you become a human race? Do you think you are a human race when you become the city lord?!"

……

Triss stood under the steps, she looked at them blankly, and waited until they were dragged down, then she sat down on the steps as if she was relieved.

The maid came to her side and comforted her in a low voice: "My lord, in the future, they will understand your painstaking efforts in the future."

Triss shook her head wearily: "They won't understand me, and they don't need to understand me, I know what I'm doing."

Anyone who is an enemy of the lord is their enemy. Only in this way can they live safely and smoothly.

Triss smiled with difficulty: "They just want to see how much power they can get from me."

Her people were testing her, how simple they had been.

But now, they have changed.

Everything is changing.

If the lord were here, they would never dare to say such a thing. They would just quietly deal with those dwarves without a single complaint.

But the lord is not here, she is here, they are of the same race, that's why they dare to do this, they are sure that she will not kill them.

They are still loyal to the lord.

But they are also trying to gain power for themselves.

She finally understood why the human race has everything, but they always fight and have no peace.
