Succubus' Manor

The name of the elf is Lamir. He was brought into this room by this white-haired old man. He is in a state of confusion. He has experienced too much these days, and his brain can't turn around. He can sometimes understand a few words in the common language. , Sometimes I can't understand a word.

He understood the word "nuan", but he didn't understand the meaning, so he stood there stupidly.

Chi Yan cleared his throat and said to the housekeeper, "It's not too cold, no need."

The housekeeper frowned, as if he was talking about simply warming the quilt: "Winter is coming soon, and this is the time when you are most likely to get sick."

Chi Yan glanced at the small body of the bald elf, and felt that it was a simple warm bed, and he should find a big fat man.

It is best to have two hundred catties, and the bed will be warm after a while after entering, and the area is still large.

With a smiling face, Kleist said methodically: "This elf has just arrived, what if there is something wrong with him and it is passed on to the adults?"

I asked the housekeeper this question, and the housekeeper also became afraid.

So the housekeeper said bluntly, "Then let him be raised first, and we'll have a look at him after a while."

Chi Yan: "...don't worry."

And if possible, he would like a big fat man to keep him warm.

The butler asked the servant to take the ignorant elf down, and then said to Chi Yan righteously: "My lord, a noble like you cannot live without someone to serve you personally."

Chi Yan replied innocently: "Yes, isn't my personal servant Kadi? He should be back soon, right?"

Speaking of which, Cardi is also a very serious person, and he likes this kind of person.

However, the housekeeper said, "You are already fifteen this year! If you were a commoner, you should have two children."

Chi Yan: "..."

Calculated in terms of mental age, he was 21 years ago and stayed here for more than three years, so he is [-] years old!It's a grown up!

The housekeeper was heartbroken: "It was my fault that I didn't prepare a man for you before you came here!"

Preparer?

Chi Yancai finally understood that the bed warmer the butler wanted to prepare for him was not as warm as the other.

Hi!What an embarrassment!

Chi Yan's face was flushed, and his heart was swaying. Except when the primary school was over, the teacher asked the students to go home hand in hand or on a spring outing. At other times, he didn't even hold the girl's hand, but the housekeeper actually wanted him not to hold hands. Straight to home plate.

"This... Let's talk about this later." Chi Yan still wants to develop again. He heard from a classmate who started dating girlfriends in junior high school that doing that kind of thing too early will affect development, although growing tall has little effect , but it greatly affects his brother's growth.

Chi Yan felt that his current little brother was a bit miniature. If he was affected again, he would probably only be able to learn Latin dance. Let's see if he can stretch it out a bit.

There is a reason why the state stipulates adulthood!

Chi Yan is a loyal supporter stipulated by the state!

Chi Yan blushed and said to the housekeeper, "Before, I had to dedicate my body and mind to the Holy Spirit!"

The housekeeper didn't expect Chi Yan to be so devout. He wanted to say something more, but Kleist smiled and said, "Didn't you hear what your lord said? Or do you think you can decide everything for your lord?"

Kleist was smiling, but his eyes were cold. The housekeeper felt his hands and feet were cold under his eyes, as if he was in the cold wind and rain. heir."

Chi Yan understood this question!

Chi Yan quickly said, "The heir must be a legitimate child?"

Aristocrats tend to marry late, and a large number of those in their 40s are still unmarried—of course they also have many illegitimate children.

Moreover, some aristocrats have too many children, and they don't know which children are their own, so there are fathers enjoying themselves, and sons working in disgraceful jobs in the boiler room to earn food.

Chi Yan has heard that Mongolia was still slavery in the Qing Dynasty. One of the characteristics of slavery is that children follow their mothers and not their fathers. The mother is noble, so the children are also noble, and the mother is a slave, so the children born are still the same. is a slave.

If a maid gives birth to a nobleman's child, no matter how much the nobleman prefers it, the maid cannot become a wife, and the child cannot become an heir.

Of course, the royal family need not scruple these rules.

Strictly speaking, the royal family is the most unruly and unreasonable.

For example, in ancient China, in the feudal society, there were still such things as the king seizing the minister's wife, and the father snatching the son's wife.

The butler realized that he was irrelevant, he turned his head, pouted at Kleist, and finally said, "My lord, go to bed early."

He made up his mind that when buying slaves at the end of the year, he must choose good-looking slaves, and after a period of training, adults will definitely like them.

He was worried that this demon disguised as an elf was playing against his lord.

But the adult himself didn't notice it, no matter how much he hinted at it, the adult didn't respond.

It really broke his old heart.

When the butler was about to leave, he saw Kleist sitting on the edge of the bed, his buttocks seemed to be glued to the bed, and he stared at Kleist closely: "My lord is going to rest!"

As if he had just realized it, Kleist turned to Chi Yan and said, "Have a good dream, good night."

Chi Yan nodded: "You two go to bed early, too."

After both Kleist and the housekeeper went out, Chi Yan was excited to think about his soybean oil. Soybeans are a good thing, but the quality of soybeans here is too bad!I don't know how much soybean oil can be squeezed out. As for soybean milk and tofu, it's better to take it easy. Compared with eating tofu, Chi Yan prefers to eat vegetables fried in soybean oil.

In the dream, Chi Yan had a full meal. He dreamed that he was back in modern times, and his mother was making his favorite sweet and sour pork. Steal.

But before he could finish the loin, he woke up.

Extracting soybean oil requires a lot of soybeans, especially when the soybeans are of poor quality.

After the slaves got the order, they started frying soybeans—they didn't know what kind of frying was suitable, and there were not many iron pots in the territory, so they scrapped a lot of soybeans, but they failed.

Until the dwarves built an oil press out of stones, they still used the principle of leverage, which saved a lot of manpower.

When the first batch of soybean oil was squeezed out, Chi Yan almost cried with joy.

The race of dwarves is simply the treasure of the world!

They may not know what the principle of leverage is, but they can apply it in daily life.

Now, Chi Yan felt that he was doing well.

He has steel, so the steel knives and iron pots he made are very durable, and he doesn't have to worry about the pot breaking when it burns.

The steel knife also gave him a sense of security, not worrying about robbers attacking.

He has wine, drinks a glass before going to bed, can fall asleep earlier and sleep more soundly.

Soybean oil can be used for cooking, although the old man said that soybean oil is not as healthy as vegetable oil, but Chi Yan doesn't pick it. Healthy or something, let's pay more attention to the increase in productivity.

However, because of the oil extraction, all the soybeans in the territory were used up, but very little soybean oil was obtained.

If you want to eat soy products, you can only grow some in the coming year.

Fortunately, because of the better tools in the past few months, the tauren has been more efficient, opened up a lot of land, and there will be fertilizer next year, and the day of harvest is just around the corner.

Katuo has also started planting, and it can be harvested in three months, and there is no need to sow in the future.

Days seem to be getting better and better.

Chi Yan thought happily.

There was only one thing that gave Chi Yan a headache, and that was Anna, the cook.

She can't cook food well no matter what.

And it's really hard to find a cook in this day and age.

Like other industries, cooks or chefs are passed on from generation to generation, mother to daughter, father to son.

For example, if Anna gets married and has children, her daughter will also be a cook.

Chi Yan could only let Anna come to see him alone.

Anna was terrified when she was brought over by the servant. She thought she had done something wrong.

"My lord." Anna lay on the ground trembling.

Chi Yan was not used to talking to people like this, so he asked her to stand up.

Anna stood aside, facing Chi Yan with her best profile.

"Anna." Chi Yan said seriously, "I've asked Kadi to tell you before, don't add any spices when cooking."

Anna seemed to think that the more expensive spices were added, the better the taste of the dish.

Anna felt aggrieved: "My lord, I have followed what you said and did not put any more spices."

Chi Yan didn't believe it: "Tell me how many spices you put in now."

Anna counted with her fingers for a while before saying, "Six!"

Chi Yan: "...Then how much did you play before?"

Anna calculated for a while before saying innocently, "I don't know."

She will put all the spices one by one, that is to say, she will put as many spices as there are.

Chi Yan felt that he could also be a chef.

He sighed, he didn't know how to cook, and he didn't know how to guide Anna, but he still said: "Anna, although I know you will be sad, but I still have to say, the dishes you sit are not delicious, the spices added Too much and it tastes like complex spices to me."

"do you understand?"

Anna was stunned, her eyes filled with tears in an instant, it seemed that as long as she blinked slightly, the tears would pour down in an instant.

Chi Yan felt that he had to harden his heart.

Otherwise, it is his tongue that suffers.

In life, eating and drinking are two words. If you have to suffer even eating and drinking, that would be too miserable.

Especially now that he is the lord, he can make himself live a good life.

Anna sniffed and pretended to be strong and said, "I understand, my lord."

Chi Yan said seriously: "Anna, I hope you can become better, that's why I didn't let you go directly, do you understand?"

Anna didn't dare to look up at Chi Yan, her voice had a strong nasal tone: "I know, my lord, you are so kind."

Chi Yan: "Go back, remember my words."

Anna agreed, and then exited the hall.

Anna returned to the kitchen and finally couldn't help crying. She didn't know how to live the next day.

The servants in the kitchen didn't dare to ask her when they saw her crying so badly.

Anna cried until the sky was dark, and by the time she calmed down, it was already dark.

She learned cooking from her mother, and she was kept by her side to work for the nobles when she was very young.

Her mother told her that the nobles all have finer tongues than ordinary people, and they can taste all kinds of different flavors, so they must be willing to put spices.

What's more, spices are also a symbol of aristocratic status.

The more you put, the higher the status of the nobility.

She had once seen her mother being rewarded by nobles, which was the greatest honor her mother had received in her life.

She wouldn't know how to cook without asking her to put too much spice.

But she didn't think the lord who was unwilling to use too much spice was not noble enough.

Perhaps it is because this lord is too noble that he is unwilling to be like other nobles.

Chi Yan found that Anna's cooking has become much better since he had discussed his opinion with Anna face to face!It was bland at times and overly salty at other times, but it was much better than the spiciness before.

At the dinner table, Chi Yan praised Anna and rewarded Anna with a piece of fabric, which can be used to make a coat and there is still some left over.

"My lord must be the most generous person in the world!"

"Yeah, Anna cried so badly before, she must have never thought that she would be rewarded by adults!"

"I've seen it. It's a very strong fabric that can last a long time! There's still some left over to patch up old clothes!"

The servants all envied Anna. At first, they thought that the lord would change the cook.

Anna herself didn't expect that, holding the piece of fabric, she cried into tears again.

The slaves had a good life recently. They dried the mushrooms and wild vegetables they gathered while the sun was shining, and ate some of them that were not dried. Their stomachs were very strong, and they didn't get sick after eating the mushrooms that were about to mold.

The only thing that made them feel uncomfortable was that they were separated from their own clansmen. The manager asked them to work in groups with people of other races. In a group of ten people, if one person was lazy and did not work, the other nine people would not be able to get rewards. .

In the evening, the dwarves gathered together to talk, and they all held bowls with hot water in their hands.

They also have a pot for boiling water.

"I thought goblins would be lazy, but I didn't expect them to be quite diligent." The female dwarf said with a smile. Her muscles are more explainable than men's. She has no breasts, only pectoral muscles, which are as hard as lifting bricks.

The male dwarf also said: "The tauren is really strong! It is stronger than mine."

He is too envious.

Because the groups were divided, the slaves supervised each other to prevent others from being lazy.

It also caused a lot of oolongs.

For example, a goblin went to pee, and the people in the same group worried that he was using this excuse to be lazy, so they set a time for him.

As a result, the goblin had a stomachache after spraying, so he was surrounded by people in the same group, and then he was caught back and dragged all the way.

But fortunately, they were all minor problems. After a period of running-in, slaves of different races also began to hook up, not as clear-cut as before.

It was also at this time that Chi Yan realized that there was also a chain of contempt among slaves.

The slaves with the highest status are of course the human race. The human race looks down on other races and thinks they are all barbarians.

Then the goblin looked down on the dwarves and the tauren, thinking that the tauren had a brain problem, and the dwarves only knew how to make useless things.

Dwarves look down on goblins and tauren, thinking the former is sinister and the latter is too stupid.

Only the tauren, honest and well-behaved, no one despises, and thinks that the whole world is a good person.

Chi Yan also didn't understand why the tauren with the strongest force value was so kind, even a little weak to be bullied.

Chi Yan originally wanted to train the tauren into an armed force, but now he thinks it is not feasible.

It's okay to let the tauren open up wasteland, let them fight and kill?Chi Yan didn't even dare to think about it.

"Can I train soldiers?" Chi Yan asked the steward. He knew that a lord could have his own army, and even wars would sometimes start between the lords.

Although he felt that the war between the lords was very similar to the fight between two villages.

Soldiers on both sides combined may not exceed 100.

Not to mention weapons.

Moreover, the war between the lords is particularly ridiculous. The party that initiates the war must first apply to the Holy Court. After the Holy Court approves, it will then notify the party to be attacked. From preparation to actual fighting, it takes half a year.

Of course, there are also those who directly cross the Holy Court to start a war. Regardless of whether the initiator wins or loses, they will have to pay a large fine to the Holy Court in the end.

"I think the Holy Academy relies on this to make money." Chi Yan felt that his idea was very credible.

A fight between two villages usually won't kill anyone, and it can make a fortune, so why not do it?

housekeeper:"……"

He didn't expect this!

And even if one side wins, the most is to search for the treasure and beauties of the other side. The treasure has to be used to pay the fine, and the beauties—generally there are not many beauties.

So basically no lord will start a war, because there is no benefit, no matter whether he wins or loses, it is a waste of time.

Unless it's the kind where the two parties have accumulated grudges and can't wait to eat their flesh.

As for applying to the Holy Court... Chi Yan felt that none of the attackers had a brain problem.

There are many variables in half a year, maybe I don’t want to fight after half a year, but because I have filed an application and I have to fight, I can only bite the bullet, thank you.

So most of the lords don't have any armed forces, just like Chi Yan, his armed forces here are two knights.

And more small lords may have only one knight.

The great lord will have a cavalry team. If there is a war at home and abroad, they will directly capture civilians from the territory to join the army.

Only the royal family will raise soldiers. Although the Holy Court does not have an army on the surface, it should have some in private.

The housekeeper said to Chi Yan: "Choose someone from among the slaves!"

Chi Yan thought for a while, and felt that none of the slaves in his territory were suitable for soldiers.

In fact, it is better to be a soldier in the human race, with a moderate size and not as kind as the tauren.

It's just that the price of human slaves is not cheap.

After all, unlike other races who have always been slaves, human races generally become slaves because they made mistakes or were too poor.

Chi Yan: "Wait for Kadi to come back and see how much money he got back. If it's enough, I'll buy a batch of slaves from the merchants at the end of this year. If it's not enough, I'll have to wait until next year."

Although he didn't think any lord would panic and beat him in a hurry.

But take precautions, closing the door at night is not about mistrusting your neighbors, but about being responsible to yourself.

Especially when encountering robbers, robbers will not apply to the Holy Court, nor will they pay a fine to the Holy Court.

Kadi and the others have been away for nearly ten days. Chi Yan was not worried at the beginning. After all, he took twenty servants out with knives as weapons on his body, but as they went out more and more time As it got longer, Chi Yan began to worry.

"Do you want people to find them?" Kleist was reading a book, he said, "They are going to a big city, if they get lost halfway, they may go longer, ten days is not long, wait another five days if they still If you don't come back, I'll help you, okay?"

Kleist's voice was so gentle, Chi Yan said, "How can I bother you with everything?"

Kleist looked into Chi Yan's eyes, his eyes were green lakes, gentle and peaceful: "Doing things for you, how can it be called trouble?"

Chi Yan felt that if Kleist was born in modern times, he would definitely become a lover of the public. He could say such sweet things to a man like himself, and it would be even worse in front of women.

After several days of worrying about it, Kadi and the others finally returned to the territory on the morning of the 16th day.

The group looked much more emaciated than when they left, but they did bring back a lot of money.

The most valuable thing is the wine, there is nothing left, and it is all sold out.

There is less than half of the wood carvings left, and there is no rattan frame left.

However, after going out for fifteen days, the servants lost a lot of weight. When Kadi reported to the housekeeper, tears came down while talking.

"After going out, I got lost in the woods." Cady cried out of shape when he said that he was sad.

It was the first time he had traveled such a long distance, and it was also the first time he was in charge of so many people and goods.

When he lost his way, he was terrified, but he also knew that he was the leader. If he panicked and frightened, the other servants would not be the same, so he was obviously terrified, but he still had to pretend that he knew everything. look.

After finally leaving the woods, they went to the big city, but they didn't understand anything, and they didn't know where to sell it.

It was Kadi who took the servants to the market and sold them to the merchants.

Kadi knew that if the lords of the big city want to exchange or buy things, there are trustworthy merchants, and they will not make deals with people from other territories like them.

So he can only go to the merchants.

He didn't know how much to sell, so he stayed for several days, visiting merchants' homes, and finally set a price.

In fact, the rattan frame cannot be sold. This kind of thing is worthless, and there are many people who can make it up, so Kadi sold it with the wine. If you want to buy wine, you have to buy the rattan frame. He sold the rattan frame.

He also bought some salt when he came back.

After crying, Cardi said to the housekeeper: "Finally, I have lived up to the trust my lord has placed in me."

Cardi wiped away her tears, her face was black and white.

Butler: "Go and wash yourself! How dirty it is! If you have fleas on your body, don't even think about serving adults."

Kadi, who thought she would be praised by the butler: "..."

The butler turned his head: "As a personal servant, these are what you should do."

Cardi is really upset now, he doesn't want to shave his hair again, it's too ugly.

He still wants to wait for his hair to grow longer, maybe the grown-ups will be able to see his hair?

Seeing that Kadi lowered his head, the butler reluctantly said: "You did a good job, I will tell you."

Hmph, these young male servants can't bear anything now.

When he was young, he was never complacent because of a little credit.
