The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

Fort Comoi.

Bevis Elliott receives a letter from a knight sent by the Duke of Bath Ridges.

What the letter means is that there are huge benefits to be gained from drying salt in seawater.

The Kojit Sea is like a gold mine waiting to be excavated in the Weissas territory, but the "mining right" of this gold mine is not in his hands.

Xia Zuoyi Dexinia is the only one left in the Dexinia family. If something happens to him, Wissas will definitely be taken back by the king, and then he can plot...

"I understand what the Duke means. I will handle this matter for him, but the plan is to let another earl... I have to take a lot of risks."

Beavis Elliott was ordinary-looking, with a broad forehead and snub nose. Although he was in his prime, his hair was thin on the top of his head, his eyes were blue, and his face was often tired from lack of sleep.

He is best known at Fort Comoi for the number of mistresses he has each year.

The knight delivering the letter said: "After the matter is completed, His Excellency the Duke will include Paar Mountain in the territory of Fort Comoi, and promise the Earl [-]% of the profit from the sale of salt."

Bivis Elliott was overjoyed: "Your Excellency is really generous."

After he reassured that things would go as the Duke wished, the knight left Comoi Castle and returned to the Royal City to return to his command.

The butler said from behind: "My lord, the other party is an earl after all, just in case..."

Bivis Elliott sneered: "It's just a six-year-old child, even if he is lucky enough to have a 'treasure', it depends on his ability to keep it."

"Old Dexinia died too early, and I also showed kindness so that their father and son could be reunited in the arms of the Creator God as soon as possible."

Butler: "My lord, you are right."

Beavis Elliott: "Let a small group of knights pretend to be robbers to lie in ambush on Mount Paar, and I will give them half a box of gold coins as a reward."

"Yes, Lord Count."

The Designia convoy returned slowly, and finally passed through Par Mountain again.

After turning over the mountain is Weishasi.

Xia Zuoyi leaned against the car window, watching the gradually passing scenery outside.

Paar Mountain retains the characteristics of the original forest—the trees are tall and lush, and there are many wild animals in the forest.

The mountain on the southeast side is between the two cities of Versas and Fort Comoi. It is usually used as one of the sources of livelihood for the commoners of the two cities to hunt and collect firewood, and it is also a hunting site for nobles.

There is a small lake on the mountain - Paar Lake.

Bypassing Paal Lake is the mountain on the northwest side. Few people will go there. I heard that brown bears often come and go, and the mountain is more complicated.

Natural bitumen mines are buried in the valley to the northwest.

Xia Zuoyi was thinking about the preparations to be done before digging out the asphalt mine, when she suddenly heard the screams from the knights in front, and then, the carriage that was driving stopped suddenly and shook violently.

If it wasn't for Judit who quickly hugged him by the waist, he would have fallen out of the car window.

"What's going on?!" Xia Zuoyi said while supporting the car wall with one hand.

The coachman panicked and shouted: "My lord, run away! The robbers are coming!"

The sun was setting, and dusk was gradually approaching.

They were in the center of the mountain forest at this time, the front road was cut off, and the back road was blocked, the situation was not optimistic.

The "robber" seemed to have received the news in advance, and waited for the convoy to enter the "encirclement" that had been ambushed before suddenly rushing out to harvest lives.

They were like gods of death walking in the twilight, with thick shadows sweeping towards them, they were extremely fast, almost killing the knight guarding the front of the carriage in the blink of an eye, followed by the driver who wanted to escape.

Judit rolled down from the carriage in embarrassment with Xia Zuoyi in his arms.

With a scream, Kelly fell to the ground, but luckily escaped the slashing blade.

The tops of the heads and faces of the "robbers" were tightly wrapped in black cloth, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and they were dressed in thick leather that could be defended. Most of the weapons in their hands were swords and scimitars.

They acted silently, but cooperated with each other tacitly.

— not robbers!

At least not ordinary robbers.

Xia Zuoyi was protected by the knights coming from behind, and analyzed calmly while being hugged and dodged by Judit—who wants to put him to death?

The "robbers" who came to besiege were obviously more than the number of knights in his convoy. In addition, it should have been premeditated, so the team was rushed to pieces at the beginning.

After Kelly tried to dodge the sword that was stabbing at her but stumbled and rolled down the hillside, another sword stabbed at Xia Zuoyi.

Judit turned around holding him, trying to cover him with his back.

Xia Zuoyi seemed to be able to feel the unique sharpness and coldness of iron weapons attacking his face. The smooth sword surface reflected a blurred image, and the faint smell of blood penetrated straight into his nose...

In the nick of time.

Xia Zuoyi pushed Judith away forcefully.

He fell to the ground, and Judit tipped over out of danger.

"Lord Count!"

The "Bandit" missed the blow and hit the ground, splashing mud everywhere. He didn't stop, and continued to stab Xia Zuoi mercilessly the next moment.

"Kang" - a sound.

The oncoming sharp weapon was blocked by a large sword.

The reason why Fernandi Edward was able to become a knight commander at a young age, and to obtain enough merits to be awarded a knighthood soon, was due to his incomparable bravery and extraordinary courage.

He could single-handedly take on a small squad of knights, and was stronger and more athletic than most.

The moment the "bandit" encircled and suppressed him, Fernandi Edward snatched the opponent's weapon and successfully fought back. His unstoppable attack gave the knights and craftsmen in the rear a chance to breathe to a certain extent.

Fernandi Edward saw Xia Zuoyi forcefully pushing Judit away, and also heard Judit's terrified cry.

He rushed over quickly, parrying the long sword.

"Find a safe place to hide, quick!" cried Fernandi Edward.

Xia Zuoyi also wanted to find a place to hide.

But the main target of this group of "robbers" is him. Almost every moment, people take turns attacking him and wanting his life. How could he have a chance to escape...

This group of "robbers" was determined to kill them all on Pa'er Mountain. The ground was already stained red with blood, and the night was approaching, and the smell of murder in the air became stronger.

Kelly didn't know her life or death, half of the craftsmen and knights were killed, and Judit's left arm was stabbed...

Xia Zuoyi gritted her teeth, she couldn't go on like this.

He took advantage of the remaining faint skylight to observe his surroundings...

"Fernandi Edward! Please save them!"

The childish voice seemed to pierced the night sky.

Fernandi Edward was startled, then turned around and saw a small figure slipping through the gap, narrowly dodging the scimitar, and then slipping and rolling down the steep hill...

"Lord Count!"

The last thing Xia Zuoyi heard was Judit's anxious and hoarse cry.

He tried his best to tighten his small body, and firmly protected his head with his hands, enduring the pain of the brambles and gravel crushing his skin, and tried his best to control the direction of his fall.

Xia Zuoyi jumped off on purpose.

Most of the mountain roads in Mount Paar are winding and steep hillsides. It was getting late, and it was dark below, so I couldn't see anything clearly.

He jumped down voluntarily because he wanted to gamble on his chance of survival.

The world in Xia Zuoyi's eyes was constantly spinning, and when her mind was dizzy and nauseous, the speed of rolling finally stopped slowly.

He was lying on the grass and panting weakly, his exposed hands and feet were in severe pain, covered with scratches from blades of grass and redness from the impact of gravel.

Especially the right arm, as if it hit something, it was slightly dislocated, and now I can't lift it up.

Fortunately not the legs.

Xia Zuoyi thought bitterly, otherwise he would not be able to get up at this moment, let alone escape.

After taking two deep breaths.

Xia Zuoyi stood up with one arm, his eyes darkened for a moment, he slowed down a little, he found a direction, and limped away.

However, it is still young.

He soon felt that his physical strength was gradually losing, and his vision began to become blurred.

No, you can't fall down.

Escape further.

Xia Zuoyi kept repeating in his heart, but he tripped and fell to the ground.

"...Little nobleman?"

Before he fell into a coma, he heard a young man's surprised voice.

Gibran Kino and his younger brother Toby Kino depended on each other, living on the edge of the poorest in Wissus.

His brother Toby was nine years his junior.

For their livelihood and food and clothing, Gibran Kino, apart from confirming money for people in the market every ten days, sometimes went alone to Paar Mountain to set some traps to catch small animals such as hares.

No luck since morning.

The hoe he brought was broken, the trap he finally set up failed, the hare ran away, and he never squatted to guard the prey after that.

Gibran Kino was in a hurry. He had no prey to sell, so he had no coins to support his life. He had to endure hunger for a few days and save food and money until the market reopened.

After all, it is not easy to come to Paar Mountain.

He temporarily entrusted Toby to Aunt Tana next door, and hiked into the mountain with enough dry food and water. He had already stayed on the mountain for two days and one night.

Today was the last night, and all the dry food was eaten. If he couldn't catch any more prey, he would have to return without success tomorrow.

Therefore, Gibran Kino went a little deeper into Paar Mountain, but the result was still nothing.

But just when he was going to find a safe cave or rest in a tree for the night, he unexpectedly ran into the little nobleman he saw at the market.

A small child, should be only a little older than Toby.

But now she was covered in scars, and fell down in front of him pitifully.

Gibran Kino quickly walked over to pick up the little nobleman, guessing that something bad happened to him, his round face was covered with mud, and he passed out with his eyes closed.

There was no one around, and it was so dark that I couldn't even see the way down the mountain clearly.

Gibran Kino murmured to himself: "...we can only go back to Wissus at dawn tomorrow."

He looked down at the little noble in his arms, and sighed, "I hope you can persevere through tonight."

Before leaving, Gibran Quino covered up the traces of the little nobleman coming over.

He found a safe cave, and covered the entrance of the cave with brambles and dry branches as cover and camouflage.

Except for a broken hoe, Gibran Kino only had water on his body. After gently placing the little nobleman on the ground, he fed him a few sips of water. Thinking of the cold night in the mountains, he took off his thin coat and covered him with water. small body.

Gibran Quino rubbed his hands together and let out a sigh.

He stood guard at the entrance of the cave, paying attention to the situation of the little nobleman from time to time, so he persisted until dawn in a daze.

Xia Zuoyi: I am a ball, round and rolling down...
