Succubus' Manor

Kleist and the others have left, and Albert and the others have also left. There are even fewer people who can talk to Chi Yan, only the housekeeper is left, and the housekeeper is also very busy. The housekeeper has to supervise those in charge. The group of civilians who are most loyal to the lord, but Chi Yan doesn't know how to measure this loyalty.

He only knew that these managers didn't find trouble for him. After discovering that he didn't like to beat and abuse slaves and civilians, the managers quickly adjusted their style. Although they were still a little tough, compared to when Chi Yan first came, they had Much better.

These managers generally know a few words, but not much, and are semi-literate, and at least several generations have lived here, understand the surrounding environment, will not get lost, and have a small family.

Belonging to the middle class in the manor, they generally rent the land in addition to managing affairs, and they don’t have to pay poll tax, only rent and land tax, and the lord generally exempts them from rent, and they only need to pay the land tax. Court land tax.

So the stewards can live a very good life. Their families farm and work, and they only need to fulfill the orders given by the stewards.

But because they are rare talents who can read and write, although they are semi-literate, they are already very valuable in this environment where the average person does not know a single character.

Now there are no Arabic numerals here, and characters similar to Roman numerals are used. Every time Chi Yan writes numbers, as long as the numbers are long, his eyes will be dazzled first.

Every time you recognize a number, you have to go through the characters in your mind first, and then identify them one by one. The number cannot be known at a glance.

So Chi Yan would replace it with Arabic numerals when he recorded it himself. After a long time, the housekeeper also learned Arabic numerals, and after asking Chi Yan, he taught it to the steward under him to record the number of people.

Chi Yan really wanted the butler to go and literacy for those in charge first, but seeing how busy the butler was, Chi Yan was too embarrassed to ask him to do an extra job for the old man, so he could only press it temporarily, but it was still recorded in Chi Yan's parchment Now, he must hold a literacy class.

Knowing [-] characters is regarded as beyond the scope of illiteracy-isn't it strict?

When Chi Yan thought of it occasionally, he would walk around the territory.

But every time he went out, the people in the territory stopped working and all knelt on the ground.

Greatly affected work efficiency.

So Chi Yan went out to inspect once a week.

As the weather was getting cooler, Chi Yan finished his day's "arduous" daily work, lay on the bed, covered with a blanket, holding a cup of hot water in his hand, and then listened to the butler standing beside the bed to report on this autumn's harvest.

They have had a good harvest this year, and they have made 56 weapons, not including agricultural tools such as shovels and hoes. Although the quality varies, they are better than those made of pig iron.

Due to the timely harvest of wheat, the loss is not much, at least there will be no shortage of bread for the coming year.

Not to mention Katuo, it is enough to feed the people on the territory for two years, and it does not need to be sown all the time, it only needs to be harvested every three months.

The output of cloth is relatively small, and each person can only get one piece, and now only half of it has been completed. It is estimated that many people will not be able to wear clothes this winter and can only stay in the house.

There were more than 300 cans of sugar, Kleist and the others took away fifty cans, Albert and the others took away more than ten cans, and there were more than 200 cans left on the territory, which were stored in the cellar.

After the butler reported, he said, "Next year will be much easier than this year."

The butler looked proud. He had lived to this age and had served many nobles. It was the first time he felt such a sense of accomplishment. It was different from the sense of accomplishment of serving nobles. He watched the territory get better and better. Before Chi Yan came, Before, people in the territory didn't even have a decent house to live in.

Now people not only have a place to live, but also clothes to wear and food to eat.

There are many more farm tools that have never been seen before.

As soon as the butler was proud, he began to blow rainbow farts: "My lord, you are the smartest, kindest, most..."

Chi Yan quickly interrupted the butler: "Don't praise me."

"Did you burn a lot of charcoal this year?" Chi Yan asked.

The charcoal is burned by the tauren, and now the tauren open up wasteland and burn charcoal.

The butler thought for a while: "Not as much as last year."

After all, there were not as many events last fall as this year.

Chi Yan sighed: "Should have sent someone to come earlier."

In this primitive era, manpower is the only labor force, and the more people there are, the more output there will be.

In modern times, one person can solve most of the work in his territory with one harvester.

Butler: "My lord, you can't blame yourself for this, you have done well enough."

He thought so with all his heart.

When he was Chi Yan's age, he was still a kid.

The new Emma is cutting clothes. She can get work from the manager. She can get food after cutting a certain amount of clothes every day. She doesn't have to reach out to her aunt's family for food-but they still live in the aunt's house inside.

My aunt is different from before, she is no longer so preoccupied, probably because life is getting better, so she has become more peaceful and generous.

Her cousin worked as a servant in the castle and often brought home white bread.

Thanks to my cousin, the family also had white bread that they had never eaten before.

It was soft and fragrant, and once my cousin brought back bread called "mantou". Emma had never eaten such good food.

In addition to cutting clothes with her parents every day, she would also find time to go out to pick wild vegetables. Here, the lord does not restrict them to pick wild vegetables. As long as the work is done, she can do whatever she wants.

It's just that Emma is no longer the ignorant little girl she used to be. She knows the suffering of life and cherishes the present day very much.

When they first came, the aunt's family gave them a lot of wheat.

The aunt said to her: "The lord is a very kind person, you must not do anything to offend him."

"Be obedient and sensible, understand?"

Every day, she would hear words of gratitude from her aunt's family to the lord.

The lord gave them shelter, gave them food, accepted them selflessly, saved their lives in their most difficult time, gave them all the time, and never asked them to pay anything.

Emma sometimes wonders why the lord is so kind?

And the lord of the city where they used to live, why isn't this lord the same?

She just asked.

Then the aunt laughed at her: "Of course the lord is not an ordinary person, the lord is someone who has heard the voice of the Holy Spirit!"

"He inherited the generosity and kindness of the Holy Spirit, but not the irritability and viciousness of the Holy Spirit."

My aunt would sigh and say, "But this world cannot tolerate such a kind person as your lord."

Emma didn’t understand: “isn’t it good to be a good person?”

My aunt smiled wryly: "Silly girl, most of the people in this world are evil people. A good person will only be oppressed and hurt by evil people. Isn't that why our family fell into the slums? When we are poor, we also become poor." Bad guy."

Emma was still unconvinced: "My lord is different, he is the lord!"

Aunt: "Emma, ​​we must be loyal to the lord, and we must protect the lord."

Emma was taken aback, she never knew that the common people had to protect the lord.

The aunt's face was full of love and compassion.

When she mentioned the lord, the love and compassion in her tone was stronger than when she mentioned her own son.

It seems that the lord is her most beloved child.

Even my uncle said: "After you know why we came here, no one has asked someone to bring you a letter?"

Emma's family shook their heads, but they had always felt that it was the aunt's family who didn't want their poor relatives to join them.

The uncle said with a smile: "We are worried that once we write about this place in the letter and the people you find to read the letter see it, those people will come here."

They are all illiterate, so they can only ask people who can read to write and read letters, which cost money.

"We want to protect this place." Uncle patted his leg, "Since you are here, you must also protect this place."

After they came here, they knew what it was like to be a human being, and they didn't have to be expelled like rats.

You can stay together as a family, drinking warm soup, and chatting about the future.

My aunt also said: "The lord is still a child!"

In the eyes of many people in the territory, Chi Yan is not only their lord, but also a child who needs to be tolerated and loved by them.

Probably no lord had Chi Yan's status and popularity in his own territory.

Even if he makes mistakes, people will tolerate him and understand him.

willing to pay for him.

Chi Yan himself didn't know.

He felt himself a very dignified lord.

Slowly, Chi Yan put on winter clothes, lit the fireplace, and huddled in the room, unwilling to go anywhere, even eating in bed. Last year, he was still able to insist on eating at the table in the cold. This year He has fallen!

The depraved Chi Yan didn't get up until noon every morning, because there were few people in the territory and there was nothing he needed to deal with every day, so he curled up under the quilt with peace of mind.

Seeing Chi Yan's coldness, the housekeeper said, "My lord, let me ask Lamir to warm your bed."

Lamir is now a fat man, but his face is not very fat, and he can still vaguely see the original beauty, but he is far behind Kleist.

Chi Yan hesitated for a while, but finally refused.

He was afraid that Kleist would be jealous if he found out when he came back. He didn't think Kleist was a big-hearted person.

If he went out instead, Kleist would have slept with Lamir.

He is probably going to be angry, even if they do nothing but sleep together to keep warm, he will be careful.

To judge others by oneself, Chi Yan felt that he was such a considerate person.

He would rather be cold than try to comfort the angry Kleist.

He hasn't fulfilled the request Kleist made before.

I don't know how he should prevaricate when Kleist came back this time.

Although Chi Yan didn't agree, the butler still brought Lamir over.

Lamir has been working recently, obviously haggard a lot, his stomach has flattened after eating, and he is suffering. There is still stubble on his face, and he looks very vicissitudes. He himself misses the days when he was a rice bug. So when the butler mentioned it, he agreed.

He doesn't want to work anymore!Tired of work!Much more tiring than hunting!

And after work, I always sweat a lot, and I can't take a bath every day.

"My lord." Lamir walked cautiously into Chi Yan's room, and smiled flatteringly at Chi Yan, as if he didn't just come to warm the bed, but came to accompany Chi Yan to do some indescribable things, and he even rushed to Chi Yan Yan winked.

Chi Yan: "..."

A bearded man winked at him, and this feeling took him back to a few years ago.

When I was in the holy courtyard, a male nobleman with a beard would come over every day, and he would look for him if he was not looking for anyone else.

Every time he came over, he would wink at him wildly and say some nasty words.

For example, if Chi Yan is willing to leave the Holy Court, he is willing to support Chi Yan with all the strength of the city. Chi Yan can do whatever he wants, even if he wants to have more lovers. He doesn't care, but he will ensure that his body and mind belong to him. Chi Yan.

This show of love really scared Chi Yan at the time.

He thought he was transmigrated into a stallion novel, but the object changed from a woman to a man.

In fact, if the other party was a beauty instead of a bearded man, maybe he would have obeyed at that time.

Which teenager has not had the dream of hugging left and right?

In the end, he fell into the hands of a man.

But since that man is more beautiful than everyone else, it seems that he didn't suffer?

"The housekeeper asked you to come?" Chi Yan asked Lamir.

Lamir swallowed, and he quickly said, "Master Steward said, as long as I take good care of you, I won't have to work in the future."

Being able to share the same bed with Chi Yan without having to work, is there such a good thing in the world?

It really made Lamir feel incredibly lucky.

Chi Yan can only do ideological work for Lamir: "Don't you think it's shameful for you to think this way? When you lived with the clansmen before, could you have a meal without doing anything?"

Lamir nodded confusedly: "The older elves will take care of the younger elves."

Because it is not easy for elves to give birth to children, Ramir is the youngest group of elves in the group. Although he has grown up long ago, he is still raised by the elders. Hunting is just to hone his skills, and he does not rely on hunting to fill his stomach.

Chi Yan: "..."

No wonder Lamir eats too much and is lazy, it's just what the elders are used to!

"You can't think like that." Chi Yan said rationally, "Look, I'm younger than you, but I'm also working."

Ramir looked at him suspiciously.

Chi Yan said confidently: "Do you think it's easy to manage such a large territory?"

"I have to worry about food production at any time"

Ramir: "Don't you leave things to others?"

Chi Yan: "You are stupid! I don't rely on physical strength, I rely on my brain!"

Lamir suddenly realized: "I can also rely on my brain."

Chi Yan was convinced: "Then you use your brain to think about it, what should you do best now?"

Lamir thought about it seriously, and then came to a conclusion: "Sleep with you."

Chi Yan: "...you really have a brain."

Even Albert and Carl, the two dull knights, can see the relationship between him and Kleist. Although they may not understand it clearly, at least they know that they can't get too close to Chi Yan, lest they get hurt. Beat up.

Lamir looked at Chi Yan aggrievedly.

Chi Yan: "Think about it, you are warming my bed now, what should I do when Kleist comes back?"

Lamir turned pale with fright: "What's the matter with him?! Will he still hit me?"

Chi Yan nodded.

Lamir felt that a beating seemed okay, so he said, "I can take it!"

It's a good deal to be able to sleep with Chi Yan after a beating, without having to work!

Chi Yan was very melancholy: "But I can't bear it."

Lamir: "How dare he hit you?!"

Chi Yan sighed: "He won't hit me, but it's also very troublesome, Lamir, no matter what the housekeeper tells you in the future, don't do stupid things anymore."

Lamir didn't understand how this could be a stupid thing, it was obviously a smart thing.

Under Chi Yan's serious request, he washed himself fragrantly and dragged out Lamir, who had never been so clean since he was born. Chi Yan finally got rid of Lamir with his mouth, without even getting out of bed. I gave myself a thumbs up in the warm bed.

Ramir is a single-minded elf, and he probably hasn't used his brain much in his life.

He doesn't have to think about anything in the ethnic group. If it wasn't for Lamir's lifelong ingenuity when he was pulled out to sell by the merchant, and it fell into the hands of other nobles, he might have disappeared long ago.

Chi Yan felt that the people here, including civilians and nobles, were actually not complicated. Their lives were closed, and they had very few contacts with people and things, so they were very simple, even naive.

Chi Yan felt that if he was not a heartthrob, but an ordinary person, he would probably be considered a scheming person among these people.

-

Da He, who had finally settled in the city, was very scared. He lived with this group of strange people, and he was trembling every day, especially when eating.

Only Kleist looked as reserved as an aristocrat.

But Dahe didn't think that Kleist was easy to get in touch with, he only felt that Kleist was more terrifying than those people.

Just one look from Kleist can make him speechless and dare not even move.

The sense of tension, despair and fear made him sweat coldly.

Today they were going to visit a big businessman. Like him, Kleist did not contact the lower-status among the businessmen, but chose the leader of the businessmen as soon as he came.

Dahe didn't dare to persuade him, he didn't even have the guts to talk to Kleist.

They brought a jar of sugar and a piece of cloth as gifts, and the others stayed in the hotel. Only Kleist Dahe and Hei went there together. Hei had been missing the cubs in the territory since he came out, but they came out together The only person among people who can say a few words to Da He.

Kleist walked in front, and Dahe asked Hei in a low voice: "Aren't you afraid of Kleist?"

Hei nodded without any hesitation: "I'm afraid."

Da He quickly said, "I'm afraid too, I don't know why!"

Obviously Kleist had never hit him, but he was afraid of Kleist, not only because Kleist was a friend of the lord.

That feeling... is more like the feeling of an ordinary person standing in front of an abyss, and if he makes a wrong step, he will be lost forever.

Fear from the depths of the soul.

He couldn't even imagine how the lord got along with such a terrifying elf.

Hei glanced at Dahe, he was short in stature, and now he showed an ugly smile: "Your Majesty... Lord Kleist won't do anything to us."

Dahe: "..."

Does he really know how to do it?

Hei thought of his Majesty before, he could tear open the throat of a strong demon with his bare hands and crush the opponent's bones.

At that time, His Majesty was more violent, more ferocious, and more... more like a pure demon.

The demons were all terrified, lest they make His Majesty angry.

But now, although His Majesty still scares them and makes them behave like lambs, he will no longer use the cruel methods like before.

The previous black did not understand.

Black now understands.

Your Majesty is about the same as the Lord Lord.

He changed from the master of the demon clan to the real king.

And they are all His Majesty's subjects.

This feeling makes Hei full of security,

They arrived at the big merchant's house. This house is the largest and most beautiful building besides the castle of the nobles. The fire inside was flickering. The torches and oil lamps were lit early, and many people's footsteps could be heard coming and going. Voice.

They were not greeted because they were just anonymous visitors.

It was Dahe who went to find a servant and took them to the banquet hall after confirming their identities. The inside of the house was very warm, probably because of the torches on the wall next to it. Dahe walked cautiously behind Kleist.

This time, he was not as trembling as last time.

Although he was afraid of Kleist, he somehow believed that as long as Kleist was around, he would not be in danger.

Holding a jar full of sugar in his arms, he walked cautiously.

When Dahe saw the scene in the banquet hall, the bumpkin Dahe was stunned.

It was full of people, all businessmen in colorful clothes, they were holding wine glasses, talking and laughing loudly, beautiful women and men surrounded them, like the most gorgeous decorations, but the businessmen dismissed them, They rely on their financial resources to have more beauties, and they will not show a hurry in such a party.

When Kleist and his party appeared, all eyes were on Kleist.

Kleist walked directly towards the big businessman surrounded by the most people.

The big businessman Difu watched this beautiful elf walking towards him, and he looked at him with a smile.

Waiting for the other party to fall into his arms.

But what everyone didn't expect was——

Kleist held out his hand.

broke his neck.

Kleist didn't care about the slipping body of the other party, but faced everyone before they could react, and said in a cold voice: "Now let's talk about who will take over Difu's seat and inherit Difu's property." .”

He is not here to reason, nor is he here to flatter others.

Except for Chi Yan, any human life is not human life in his eyes.

His green eyes were as gentle as they were when they were no longer in front of Chi Yan, they were too cold to have any warmth, not like human eyes.

Kleist smiled and said, "None of you want it?"

"Then, let me decide who this person is."

The merchants finally realized that they fled in panic. In the face of such a powerful force, they didn't intend to fight head-on. The servants serving the merchants also fled together.

At this time, Hei standing at the door played his role.

He changed back to his original form, opened his big mouth, revealing the densely packed sharp teeth in his mouth.

Even the big river on the side collapsed to the ground.

The heaven and earth just now turned into hell on earth in an instant.
