Traitor Summoning System [Infrastructure]

After Leonard settled his knights and slaves, he returned to the main tower of Thorn Castle under the leadership of his servants.

The old butler of Thorn Castle greeted him and bowed to him, "Young master, you are finally here. Madam has been talking about you for a long time."

"Be safe, Berkeley Butler." Leonard searched the old butler's name from his mind.

"Thanks to the young master's concern, my body is still very strong, and I can work for the Green family for another 50 years." The Berkeley butler said with a smile.

"Okay, you have watched our brother grow up, so you should also watch our brother's heir grow up." Leonard said, "It's like the old tree in front of my door, witnessing the growth of our Green family. change."

The Berkeley butler's first sentence was originally a joke, and he just said it with a smile, with an attitude of good wishes, but Leonard said it so seriously.The Berkeley housekeeper couldn't help but feel a little moved.

He looked up and saw Leonard watching him with a slight smile, his expression became slightly serious, he bowed to Leonard, and said, "I will."

[Slightly changed the old butler's view of himself, adding ten destiny points. 】

Hey guys, so now that's 75 points.

Leonard smiled with satisfaction, "At the same time, I also witnessed my transformation. Okay, Berkeley Butler, go in, I'm a little tired."

"Well, young master," said the Berkeley butler.

The butler of Berkeley took Leonard to take a bath first, and the maids of Thorn Castle fetched water for him, washed his hair and took a bath.

Leonard entered the bathtub, then shivered.The water was a bit cold, and the cold water quickly absorbed the temperature of his body.

Leonard just wanted to say to reheat the water, and then suddenly remembered, oh, this is a custom of the Green family.

People in the Green family have always been accustomed to bathing in cold water, thinking that this can make the body stronger, which means that thorns thrive under the tempering of ice water.

Leonard forgot about this incident at Little Thorn Castle. The servants of Little Thorn Castle didn't know about this habit of the Green family, so they gave him hot water according to common sense, and Bachelor Rutherford, who knew about it, had never seen it before. Leonard took a bath, so he didn't remind Leonard, which made Leonard uneasy and bathe properly.

Now, after touching the cold water, Leonard remembered, ah, there is such a thing.

It's no wonder that the original master is weak and sick. He is not in good health, and he doesn't exercise well, and then takes a bath with cold water. He is not sick.

The maids of the Green family are very well behaved.

These maids are all newcomers. Although they are curious about the third young master who is like a devil in the legend, they don't do anything beyond it.Leonard soaked in cold water and thought, when he gets back, he can make some daily necessities, such as toothbrushes, bath towels, soap, etc., to make his life more comfortable, and they can also be used as commodities for trade.

After bathing and drying her body, the maids smeared her body with olive oil.Then balm was applied behind his ears, on his wrists and under his armpits.

The scent of sesame oil is very good, pure plant essential oil, fresh and natural.Leonard couldn't help but think, um, the stir-fry must also taste delicious.

……

Sorry he is a vulgar person.

Then the maid put on precious silk underwear for him. The silk is very comfortable and has the texture of running water.Then came the dark green togas, the cream wool shawl, and the light gray green cloak fastened at the right shoulder with a thorn brooch carved in sapphire.The belt is full of gems and pearls, and this belt is worth 100 gold coins.

After dressing up, Leonard walked through the corridors of the castle under the leadership of the maid.

All the lights in the castle are on, and whale oil is used in the lamps. The lighted flames emit light blue light, making the whole castle look psychedelic and beautiful.

Because the fishing industry was underdeveloped, whale oil was very precious at this time. The whale oil burned in Thorn Castle overnight, and the gold coins burned were more than the annual income of Little Thorn Castle in the past.

Because whale oil is expensive and rare, it is loved by nobles.

The previous emperors used to use whale oil to light lamps on the main roads of their capitals, so that his imperial city was in the light blue ocean of light.

However, the aroma of burning whale oil attracted hungry people. They climbed up the street lamps to steal the oil, and even smashed the street lamps because of it.

The angry king killed those people one after another, but there were always people who tried to steal lamp oil. There was no way, there were too many hungry people.

In the end, the former emperor had no choice but to cancel the plan cursingly, because his bachelor said that if this continues, the people in Wangcheng will be killed.

Leonard recalled the information with a blank expression.

He walked into the dining room under the leadership of the maid. There were a hundred candles lit in the dining room, which were very bright. Those candlesticks were scattered in the dining room like stars.

These candles are not whale oil, but they are also unaffordable to most free folk, because they have no money to light candles, so they go to bed early at night, and they only light candles on important festivals.

Leonard smelled a familiar fragrance, which was the original memory of this body.

The smell of all kinds of barbecue, spices, and sesame oil mixed together made his body happy, because his body is used to and enjoys these.

Leonard saw a woman covered in jewels walking towards him. This was the mother of this body, Klitschens. Her eyes turned red when she saw him, and she rushed to hug him and kiss him.

"Oh, Leonard, my dear Leonard, you are finally back..."

Leonard was a little embarrassed. After enduring his physical mother's longing for him for a while, he quickly said: "Mom, well, it's time for us to eat. I will stay here until the end of the Harvest Festival. You have enough time. Eh, express your thoughts to me."

The father of this body, the Duke of Horace, also said: "Sit down, Klitschens, Leonard is right."

Everyone was seated, and Leonard took his place, next to his mother, Klitschens.

It was a great meal.

Leonard admitted that the meals in the Middle Ages might not be so bad, and there are still some good dishes for dinner, but it is just eating, and it cannot be elevated to the point of enjoyment.

Leonard looked at his eldest brother, Graham, between filling his stomach.

Graham is very similar to Duke Horace, cold and resolute, with a pair of cold blue eyes, his eyes are darker than Leonard's.

He looked a little more gloomy than his father.

He is engaged to Dadi Brown's eldest daughter, and the wedding will be next spring, when the peach blossoms are in full bloom.

Speaking of which, the marriage of the second brother Vito is also on the agenda recently, and it is said that he will marry the eldest daughter of Dark Night Black.

The Black family was one of the five major families back then, but later fell out of the top-ranking families due to family strife and their strength plummeted. As a result, the five major families became the four major families, and Stars Black became Dark Night Black.

If it was Black, the star of the year, the eldest daughter was eligible to marry the eldest son of any family, including Crown Rhett.But now it is Dark Night Black whose power has plummeted, so he can only marry the second son of a big family, or the eldest son of an earl-level family.

Perhaps it was because he looked at Graham for too long, while he was eating, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Leonard.

Unexpectedly, he touched his eyes. His cold blue eyes were like the cold sky behind the gray snow-capped mountains. Cutting the steak.

Leonard also nodded as a polite response.

Without saying a word, the meal just passed away.

After dinner, his mother, Klitschens, took him for a walk in the small garden, asking about his health.

There are many precious flowers and plants planted in the glass garden. Leonard saw some edible flowers and plants, and he couldn't help being a little distracted.

While distracted, he was dealing with the mother in this body. Although he had memories of his mother, it was impossible for him to treat her as a mother all at once.I can only act in a play to waste time.

He felt more uncomfortable now.

If he could enjoy these things after time travel - luxurious castles, comfortable clothes, and expensive meals, he would probably think it was very good.

But now that he had gone through everything before, seeing the slaves, the civilians, those struggling with hunger, poverty, and disease, he felt more uncomfortable now.

At the behest of his mother Klitzings, he began to talk about what happened after he went to the territory.

If it was his own mother, Leonard would have chosen to say good things but not bad things, but he didn't do that to Klitschens. After all, he had memories but didn't inherit feelings, so he basically told the truth.

Of course, he didn't talk about the second brother, he just said that the second brother secretly helped him, but please don't tell my mother, my father probably won't allow it.

"If it weren't for my second brother, I probably wouldn't be able to stand firm," Leonard said.

"Okay." Mother Klitsch nodded.

Listening to Leonard's words, mother Clitsins burst into tears, "It's really suffering. You actually have to go to the beach to pick up food and be forced to mix with slaves. I said to Horace, Let him call you back."

"No, mother, I have a lot of problems, but I feel good there." Leonard said. .”

"Silly boy, don't I know how much you weigh?" Mother Klitsch said softly, "Come back to me, I don't expect you to do anything, I just hope you are safe."

"But I want to do something, Mother," Leonard said.

Mother Klitsch shook her head: "Just wait until you grow up, and wait for your brother to inherit the title and give you more land."

"But I'm going to have my own power now," Leonard said.

Mother Klitches laughed: "Silly boy, what's ours is yours, and you have a lot now."

Leonard said: "Then give it to me now, give me control."

"Now you are too young, it's not the right time, it's dangerous outside." Mother Klitsch said.

Leonard: ...

Leonard felt a little out of breath.

At the same time, she felt that she couldn't get destiny points from her.

This is really a traditional mother, the kind of traditional mother who loves you so much that it hurts your ass.The kind that doesn't want you to be magnificent and do great things, but just wants you to live a peaceful, healthy and ordinary life.She loves you the way she is, not the way you want her to be.She gives you what she thinks you need, not what you really need.

Leonard didn't know how to comment on this love.

He had no choice but to say dryly that he was going to find his father, and then slipped away from his mother.

……

Leonard went to his father Horace's study, wanting to get some benefits.

"Have you finished with your mother?" Hollus asked.

"It's over," Leonard said.

"What are you doing here?" Hollus asked.

Horace's attitude was completely different from that of Klitschens, but Leonard felt that he was more used to talking to Horace, who seemed to have little affection for him.

Leonard replied: "Talk about something."

Hollus closed the parchment in his hand and said, "Go to the terrace."

"Okay, Dad," Leonard said.

They went to the terrace together, green vines were climbing on the railing, and pink flowers were blooming among them.A small wind lamp hung on the edge of the terrace. The wind lamp was very small and gave off a halo like the distant stars.

"I saw the list of tributes in your territory, and there are more than usual. You seem to have done a good job." Horace spoke first.

"If self-made is the standard, it should be OK." Leonard said.

Hollus nodded noncommittally, and said in a commanding tone: "Tell me about your experience during this period."

Leonard made it up a long time ago, bypassing the matter of the second brother, and gave a general description of what happened.He also mentioned Lu Bu, Cai Lun and Gongsun Sheng.Lu Bu is an explorer from the east, very powerful and powerful, Cai Lun was captured by robbers, and Gongsun Sheng came to find Cai Lun.

"Well, so, according to your description, you now need iron ore, coal, and a license to deal in ironware," Hollus said.

"I don't plan to sell the ironware, I just plan to use it myself," Leonard said.

A license is required for selling weapons.

"You have nearly [-] soldiers now, so you don't need to expand your army." Hollus said, "Based on your current territory."

Leonard has already had a draft: "I want to include the villages in Yanbian. There are many bandits in the east, and there are also a lot of natives in the south. They are also very troublesome."

Hollus stared at Leonard with his cold blue eyes: "You want me to give you the army."

"No." Leonard immediately denied it categorically: "Just need some material assistance."

Although he wanted the army, he knew that he must not say that when he saw Horace's expression.

"Why should I give you material aid?" Hollus said.

"Because I am your son, I am a member of the Green family." Leonard said, "I will be the strongest backing for the two brothers."

"That's all for Graham, I'm afraid Vito won't be able to tolerate you," Horace said.

Leonard's heart trembled, it turned out that this father saw it very clearly.

"I'm afraid Vito has tripped you up," Horace continued.

Leonard thought about it and said, "Second brother doesn't know my strength, so he has helped me a lot." It is also a partial acknowledgment of Vito's stumbling for him.

"He can't take you, can you take him?" said Hollus.

Leonard said very sincerely: "Yes."

Really, he loves his second brother, and he hopes that his second brother can make him more stumbling blocks.

Hollus gave him a surprised look, and Leonard coughed awkwardly.

Hollus continued: "According to the usual practice of my Green family, if a child dies in a family struggle, it means that he is incompetent. Withered plants do not need to be rescued, and potential plants will take root in any soil and survive. But your mother couldn't bear it, so I sent you far away."

"I see." Leonard said, "You want to say that you are doing it for my own good."

"That's fine if you want to," Hollus said.

"But it's more for the benefit of the family as a whole, and to prevent my mother from being too sad, and to use me to involve my second brother?" Leonard asked.

"Again, if you're going to think so," Hollus said.

Leonard has almost grasped the character of this father, and he feels that the situation is better than he imagined.

"Then I understand, I will do well," Leonard said.

"Very well," said Hollus.

"The thing about expanding the territory..." Leonard asked.

"This time, you can bring back the things in your small treasury before, and tell your elder brother to buy 100 Eagle Bruce's war horses at a discounted price. You can figure out your own way about the money." Hollus said.

Leonard's eyes lit up: "Thank you, father."

"Well, you can go out," said Hollus, "if you have nothing else to do."

Leonard went out in high spirits, and then came in again: "Father, I made some wool quilts with special technology, they are very comfortable, I brought you one, your legs are always uncomfortable in winter, cover this to say Maybe it will be more comfortable, you can try it later."

Hollus didn't speak for a few seconds.

Leonard: "Father?"

"Well, I see," Hollus said.

"Then good night, father." Leonard saluted, and after receiving "good night" from Horace, Leonard left briskly.

Yay, Eagle Bruce's discounted steed, Yay.

If Leonard loved Horace, he would feel that such a conversation might be too cold, but now he only thinks it is so simple and efficient.

There is no hypocrisy and obedience, and the direct exchange of benefits is very good. As for 100 eagle and Bruce's war horses, I don't know how much the discount price can be discounted, but you need to prepare a lot of gold coins, at least three or four thousand gold coins.

Okay, the last sentence is a bit exhausted, oops, where did I get so many gold coins.Leonard has a headache.

Can the system draw gold coins directly... Probably not.

Forget it, go to bed first, and talk about other things tomorrow.

……

The dinner before the harvest festival began.

Like Little Thorn Castle, the Harvest Festival is held in the outer court of Thorn Castle.

Leonard walked through the stone arches and corridors carved into leaves.The banquet was full of pale blue oil lamps burning whale oil with glass shades, and glass was very expensive in those days.The air is also filled with the smell of various spices, and the smell of ripe melons and fruits is very good.

Of course there are no civilians, all of them are nobles.

There are also harvest decorations in the courtyard, but there are more silk and jewelry, not like a harvest festival, just like a luxurious noble dinner.

Leonard felt bored immediately after entering. Compared to such a harvest festival, he preferred the lively little harvest festival in Little Thorn Castle.

Many men and women in luxurious costumes walked through the courtyard, and the stone pillars in the courtyard were covered with thorny vines blooming in light blue, light yellow and light blue purple.

Leonard saw his elder brother, Graham, who was undoubtedly the center of the banquet. Although he put on a stern face, there was still an endless stream of people approaching him.

Leonard was relatively low-key and didn't get involved.

He was a little hungry, and he ate a little of the food and barbecue served inside. He felt that the taste was quite ordinary, and it almost spoiled these ingredients.

He looked around and found the servants over there. Seeing that they were about to roast the goose, he hurriedly stopped him: "Wait for the roast, I said, you guys do it."

The servants quickly saluted: "Okay."

Under Leonard's order, they first smeared honey on the skin of the roast goose, and sprinkled orange peel, cinnamon powder, and black pepper powder on the inside, and the meat inside the goose was evenly spread by these seasonings.Then tie the roast goose with a rope, grill it with lychee charcoal, squeeze lemon juice on it, and finally spread the sauce.The sauce is made of honey, cinnamon powder, black pepper powder and some seasonings. After the skin of the roast goose is slightly burnt, use a brush to brush a layer of olive oil, brush a layer of honey, and then brush the sauce.The fat and sauce sizzled on the skin of the roast goose along with the flame, and the smell and sound spread out were unstoppable.

Leonard observed these people while waiting for the roast goose,

This roast goose is just right, and when you tear it open, you will find that there is still gravy inside.The skin is slightly burnt, but the oil is shiny, and it makes people appetizing just looking at it.Leonard tore off a roasted goose leg and put it in his mouth. He felt that the meat was very delicate. It tasted crispy and fragrant, fragrant and tender, delicious.

Leonard ate roast goose and fine white bread, filling his stomach beautifully.

After eating, the battle began.

A new storm has appeared, but Dagu is still eating noodles.

Leonard hummed a messy song, held a glass of red wine, broke into the crowd and started socializing.

"The third young master is back. Yesterday I wondered whether the third young master would come back this time. After all, if it were me, I would probably be dissatisfied with my father."

"Wait, let's talk about it later."

"Huh? When."

"Wait until you don't look stupid and then speak."

"..."

[Successfully change Sivir's opinion, add 20 destiny points. 】

"Hey, isn't this the third young master? Why are you here too? Are you doing well in that small territory? I heard..."

"Yeah, I came here specially to see your old face."

[Successfully change Dane's view of you, add 20 destiny points. 】

……

Leonard killed three in and three out, and many provocative people were turned on their backs. On the other hand, Leonard listened to the voice of the system prompting to add destiny points, and his whole body was flattered.As for the consequences, it doesn't matter, compared to a large number of destiny points, these are all worthwhile.It would be even better if he made the other party angry and attacked himself. Leonard was just about to expand his territory.

This night, Leonard gained a full 120 Destiny Points, which is really rich.

"The young master is very flamboyant today," said the Berkeley housekeeper.

"Well, it's also for some purpose." Leonard said, "And now it's not the young master, but the lord."

Leonard is now a baron, and he can be an earl when his elder brother or second brother officially becomes a duke.

The butler of Berkeley said, "The young master plans to shine in tomorrow's competition?"

Leonard blinked and blinked: "Contest..."

Oh, he remembered.In the Harvest Festival, there are personal contests.

And the bonus...

"How much is the bonus this year?" Leonard asked.

"Same as in previous years, five hundred gold coins." Berkeley Butler said.

Leonard jumped up: "Of course, we must shine."

That's five hundred gold coins!Bong first!Five hundred gold coins!

the next day.The Harvest Festival officially begins.

The carnival lasted until dark, dancing, eating, and resting, and in the afternoon the tournament began.

Hollus stood up and announced: "This year, the territory has had a bumper harvest. Now it is not as peaceful as it used to be, and brave people are needed even more. Therefore, the prize money for this tournament has been increased to 2000 gold coins."

After he finished speaking, everyone showed excited eyes.

Two thousand gold coins!A full two thousand gold coins!

Leonard almost jumped up. He held Feng Xian's hand and screamed, "Feng Xian! 2000 gold coins! Dozens of horses!"

"My lord! Dozens of war horses! Dozens of war horses!" Lu Bu's eyes were burning with raging fire, and he also shouted excitedly.

Leonard suddenly thought of the sudden increase in the prize money of the martial arts competition by so much. Is this accidental, or is it...

He looked at Horace, but Horace didn't look at him, but returned to his seat, talking to his maester.

Ah, he remembered that he boasted to his father last night, saying that Lu Bu was unparalleled in bravery.

Is this a coincidence?

——It’s okay if you think so.

He remembered his father's words.
