Lord of terror

[Fuck! ] The players are scared, if these are really monsters, they are not afraid, but these are people.Alive, but like a walking dead.

A few days ago, although they vaguely knew that someone was spying on them, those people were like mice. They were more vigilant and sensitive than the other, and they were more familiar with the castle and the surrounding terrain than them. They chased them and disappeared without a trace.

Their deepest impression of the humans living here is Lord Zhengtai, followed by the stewards of Moria, those warriors with a particularly bad temper, only the cooks who have heard of it, and a mysterious one who has not shown his face yet. team leader.As for the others, it's just a vague impression of 'someone'.

Now the impression became real, terribly real.

There are only a few people who are not afraid, but now they are also in a dilemma-to block or not to block?

Just as a servant was about to rush to the cabinet where the deep-sea fish placed food, Feishang Yunhai suddenly stood up and pushed away a [Don't stand stupidly.This is not our thing!We are not entitled to the generosity of others! ]

The players came to their senses as soon as they heard it, and the ones who stood closer came over to stop them—they were not the owners of the food, they were only hired workers.

Because of this accident, the number of Blue Star's live broadcasts began to increase.Some people feel sorry for these servants and feel that the players are too cold and hard.Some people think that those who say that they are poor are the Holy Mother, the players are doing it right, and taking other people's things to give alms is green tea.The third type of people think that people on both sides are ridiculous, which is obviously a task in the game.

In addition, there is a fourth category, which does not matter to the other three categories. Some of them just eat melons, and some focus on other things.

But suddenly, these people turned and ran.

[What's going on here? ]

Qiqi [Footsteps, the sound of shoes wrapped in leather stepping on the ground, not the sound of pure wooden soles. ]

[Why didn't I hear? ][Is there a problem with shoes? ] They all looked dumbfounded, but they were willing to be a little different d

[Pure wooden shoes are those servants and ordinary people wear, right?The Baron Zhengtai, Moria, and those big muscle fighters all wore small leather shoes or boots with leather soles. ]

[Really Moria. ][how do you know? ][He's right behind you...]

Moria appeared. Normally, he would only appear when the food was ready, or when he was with Lord Zhengtai. This time...

"I'm sorry, guests from other worlds, not everyone here understands what etiquette is." Moria stood there with her chest up and her abdomen in, her right hand pressed on her abdomen, and bowed to several people.

"Geji~" [ah~ so handsome~]

[Fuck, the real Black Butler, isn't this hotter than some valet cafe? ]

Moria's appearance was handsome but without impact. At this time, he put on a full posture, and his abstinence and elegant temperament directly delivered a critical blow. If he was good at it, his heart would stop beating immediately.

"They will get the punishment they deserve. When they are ready, I invite you to come and watch the ceremony."

[How to punish them? ] Feishang Yunhai is a straight man of steel, he has no undue impulse towards this ascetic deacon, and he reacts the fastest.But helpless, the language barrier between the two sides.

Moria nodded to them and left.

[Should it be a reprimand? ]

[You are so naive, the background of this place is similar to the Middle Ages, stealing is to burn iron on the face. ]

[Isn't it? ! ]

[It’s true, there are places I’ve seen that sell hands. ]

[There are also places where they were hanged. ]

Everyone is chattering, talking about everything, some heard it, some "learned" from watching novels and movies, and some actually learned it from watching documentaries.

[This kind of local lord is the law, and generally the lord and the priest can do whatever they want.There is no priest here, and Baron Zhengtai is quite soft and cute, probably...wouldn't do terrible things, would he? ]

Everyone looked at each other. Those people who were dirty and smelly and came to steal things were scary, but it seemed that they were really hungry. Regarding this situation, the player felt that it could not be simply regarded as stealing.

They want to find someone, but haven't explored the secrets in the castle?That place is now a restricted area.With this matter in mind, I have no strength to even move bricks.

Finally, Kunz came to serve the meal.

A group of players hurriedly gathered around and told what happened before.

"How do you want to punish them?"

[us? ][Can you not be punished? ][Convince and educate? ]

Persuasion and education are useless for those people. Kunz, who has the memory of the original owner and has lived here for a year, understands the situation of the servants and ordinary farmers living here. The standard poor people must have hate Everywhere, the hateful person must have a pitiful place.

To be more precise, it is not a group of people, but a group of animals, don't try to ask them by human standards.

Kunz hesitated for two seconds—is he going to throw those five servants to the players, let them suffer a loss, and understand the horror of ordinary people in this world?Or should he take this opportunity and pull the ordinary people in the castle over to start his own transformation?

Two seconds later, he chose to start the transformation.Although the former is easier, he relies on the player, but cannot completely rely on the player. He still needs some local aborigines.It's time to give Aunt Madeleine and Irene something in return.

"Believe me, the result of persuasion and education is that they think you are weak and can be bullied, and they will come to trouble you tomorrow, not tonight."

[No way? ][Understandable, the attitude of the few people who spoke just now was fierce enough. ]

[This kind of person is a rogue, right? ][But they look really miserable. ]

[Can you tell me how to punish them? ][Yes, let’s ask how to punish.After all, people also have their own rules. ]

"Ten whips, for public display for one day."

[......]

[That... how big is ten, ten whips? ]

Kunz made a comparison: "It's about this thick, and if it's long, it must be a bit taller than my height, right? One whip will tear your skin and flesh, and three whips will leave scars that will not fade for life. But don't Worry, ten whips, they can still survive."

This is the punishment method of the former baron, and it is also the lightest punishment in the Baron of Monroe.

Looking at Kunz's gestures, the whip must be at least as thick as a duck egg and more than two meters long.

The players swallowed loudly, feeling a dull pain in their backs.

[Just like that kind of starving ghost, ten whips can still live? ][Baron Zhengtai... Let's persuade and educate. ]

[They didn't steal anything anyway. ][How about you get a room and detain them for 24 hours? ]

[Yes, detain it. ][Do you not know what detention is? ]

The players started to be detained by Kunzkop, and Kunz looked at them with a smile. He didn't think that keeping those servants in the room, not working, and having food, was a punishment for them?

"Penalties are all relative."

[? ] This sentence is said without thinking.

"I've seen your work progress these days. Are you sure you can complete the construction of the house in the next few days?" After all, they are a group of novices, and their height is still a bit problematic. question.

[? ? ] This is even more mindless, and the jump is a bit big.

However, the general person in charge of building the house, the designer they hired, Tiya Aiman, still answered honestly [The building of the house was slower than expected, but when the third closed beta started, there were still one or two usable houses of. ] After all, they are all novices, and everyone's spirit is not too concentrated.

This means that they will concentrate their efforts on one or two of them.

"Let's issue you a new task." Taiya Aiman ​​raised his head sharply, saying that the progress of the task was very poor, but he still needs to add another task?Kunz smiled, "Don't worry, your main force will not be used. I only need two of you to fly to the sea of ​​clouds, Kiki. In addition, I need more food from deep-sea fish. The three of you come with me, Listen to my arrangement."

Kunz’s arrangement is to let Feishang Yunhai and Qiqi be the foremen, and arrange servants and farmers to help them work. It doesn’t matter if they don’t understand the language. They only need to do three things: “See who did the work, review the work results , and pay food as a reward. The five people who intend to rob will also be inside, and you only give them one-third of the food of others."

Deep Sea Fish looked at Qiqi and saw her nodding, so she nodded [this punishment is good. ]

Feishang Yunhai did not speak, and the other two were the main victims.

Kunz said to the deep-sea fish again: "The reward you have to prepare is such a big toast. You don't need to remove the wheat bran and stones in the flour. You can't put salt or meat. You can only give them a little bit of vegetables. Well done The best man can give him a little glass of salt water."

Deep Sea Fish looked at Kunz with the same eyes as Zhou Papi. No, Zhou Papi is a philanthropist in comparison. He thought those images were artistically processed, but now he realizes that facts are more terrifying than artistic images [if it is What about what we hunt and gather ourselves? ]

"Believe me, I also hope that my subjects can live a good life, and at least have enough to eat and drink. However, if you give them generous rewards as soon as you come up--yes, it is really rich in comparison What you get is not praise, but a group of greedy vampires. We have to make them human first, and then we can teach people more rules."

[......]

The three players didn't know much about it, but the initial impression of the baron was good.The three people are righteous and kind-hearted, but they are not the Holy Mother. They exchanged eyes with each other, and felt that the decision-making power for such matters related to the aborigines should be left to the aborigines.

The motherland also said, uh, not to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.

In Blue Star's live broadcast room, of course, there was another barrage of "Down with the Feudal Landlords" and "Save the Poor and Lower-middle Peasants". I don't know if they are sincere or just joking.

"Okay, now I can eat."

Today's food is pies and schnitzels, and the deep-sea fish actually uses milk to make cheese and cream, so today there are cream fruit tarts and cheese steamed eggs.

"Captain, I don't like sweets very much." Kunz handed over his share.Although just smelling it made Kunz's mouth salivate a lot, but seeing the captain finish his own in three bites, and then looking at him, Kunz felt that he should know the current affairs.

"Pleasing others may not necessarily win others' love."

"To please others, sometimes you just want the person being pleased to be happy."

The captain tilted his head, and his beautiful golden-green eyes showed a slit through the thick hair, but Kunz lowered his head now, unable to see the other's eyes: "You're right." Just a glance, golden The hair fell down again, blocking the captain's sight, and he took the small fruit tart, "I'm very happy now, thank you."

After having lunch together, Kunz told Moria about his proposal to the players today.

"You mean, give them food and let them build houses for your summoned creatures?"

"Yes."

"Those five thieves and robbers, also let them work for you, and give them food? Just cut down on the food supply a little bit."

"...Yes." There was something wrong with Moria's tone, and Kunz also vaguely had a bad premonition.

"Emmmm... You have to know that from the day you become a baron, on your land, the birds in the sky, the fish in the water, and the mice in the ground are all your property. As for humans, yours In the territory, besides us, other people are either your serfs or your servants, and their status is equivalent to your property. You can do whatever you want them to do, and you have even allowed them to get free winter Firewood, you are already very merciful."

"..." From Kunz's point of view, Moria is definitely not a bad person, but his views on farmers and servants can be said to be insane. This can only be said to be the limitation of his identity. Kunz hesitated for a long time , I figured out how to face the current situation, "Since this land is mine and they are mine, then I have the right to do things in my own way."

Kunz's solution is, don't explain.Use the facts that will happen in the future to prove that you are right.

Moria was taken aback, and he saluted Kunz: "Follow your orders, Lord Baron."

His response also made Kunz a little surprised. Except for the beginning, Moria hadn't said this sentence for a long time.In the eyes of Kunz, this sentence was more like a kind of perfunctory.Kunz knew that his domineering response should have hurt the relationship between the two, but...it will also take time to make up for it.

"Moria, I want to see Irene, I know you are a gentleman, but I can't let that little girl avoid me anymore."

Kunz added two more explanations to prevent Moria from misunderstanding.After all, it was Moria who proposed last year to make Irene his personal maid.However, I haven't seen Irene since then, and Kunz was busy with various studies. I saw Irene a few times occasionally. She also hurriedly avoided him like other servants, but Irene seemed to be in good condition.

Kunz, as an acquaintance who feared the society and was too guilty to meet the original owner, pretended to forget about it, but now that a year has passed, he can already reasonably explain the change of his character, and he needs Irene, so he can just she brought it up.

Tuo Xing also needs someone to stand up.Kunz can't always be the only NPC that can communicate, and the management of the Tuo Xing people also needs Tuo Xing's own people.Irene's first impression of Kunz was that she was a courageous and tough girl.

"Of course, Lord Baron. She will come to see you later." Moria left the book Kunz wanted to read today and left.

About half an hour later, Kunz saw Irene.She has also grown taller, but not as much as Kunz, and her face looks good up close. She is wearing a long skirt with large patches, her hands are tightly clasped on her lower abdomen, and her head is lowered: "Baron My lord, good day, good day."

She was nervous and spoke tremblingly.

Kunz was also nervous, but she would not meet her eyes, and she stopped at a distance of two meters from Kunz, so that Kunz's social fear would not explode, but her tone of voice became flat when she spoke. It sounded a little cold: "After the new chef arrived, Aunt Madeleine went to manage the wine cellar. Is she okay now?"

"Yes, yes, mother is fine."

"..." It seems that he thinks that his communication skills have been greatly improved, which is completely an illusion.

[My dear host, do you now know how difficult it is to communicate with a social terror? 】

【Thank you for your reminder, my dear Butler J. 】

"Eileen, do you want to be my housekeeper?"

Suddenly, Erin raised her head!Her eyes instantly met Kunz's, which made Kunz a little stiff in fright, and he forced himself to hang his neck so that he didn't lower his head to dodge.Eileen also noticed her impoliteness, and hurriedly lowered her head again: "Can I, my lord?"

The status of a housekeeper and a personal maid are completely different. After reading and teaching from Moria, Kunz has a preliminary understanding of the common sense of the upper class in the world.

The servant itself is the property of the master's family, a little higher than the slave status, and the master can "dispose" at will according to his own preferences.The male servants are better. Although the male servants with better looks will look at them differently, even if the master doesn't get involved, there is a high probability that they will not be able to refuse some guests' requests.But a personal maid of a male nobleman must be a "concubine".

Female housekeepers are different. Although their status is slightly lower than that of butlers, they also belong to the "nobility among servants" just like the butlers.When facing them, the guests will maintain a certain degree of politeness and will not be unscrupulous.Even the housekeeper's children can be given to knights as apprentices. Although the possibility of becoming a knight is low, the chance of becoming a servant is very high. This is basically equivalent to jumping out of the circle of inferior people.

"Today I'm going to give you the first errand as a housekeeper. If you do well, you can keep doing it. If you don't do well..."

"I can do it! Of course I can!" Irene raised her head again, and took a step forward. Kunz was prepared this time: "Stop! Lower your head!"

Erin quickly shrank back.

If he can always be in a strong position, his social fear...may not be a big deal.

"Listen to me and tell you what you want to do."

Irene left the East Tower as fast as she could. Because she ran too fast, she lost her shoes a few times along the way, but it didn't matter, she was as happy as a bird about to fly.Standing at an intersection, Irene was thinking about whether to go to see her mother and tell her these things, or run out to meet those little monsters immediately.In the end she couldn't wait to walk up the outgoing passage, she was worried that those little monsters would stop working, and that would be bad.

One of those little monsters appeared a year ago, and then there were more of them. The servants were actually very scared when they were told that it was the baron's summoning object and that harm was forbidden.Legend has it that there was once a knight who could also summon monsters, but each time the monsters appeared, they needed a lot of fresh food, and servants became the best prey targets.What if the lord's monsters also eat people?

They can't hurt those little monsters. If they can't escape, they can only pray that those little monsters don't like to play with their prey, and they will give them a happy death.

Later, those little monsters disappeared for a year, and just when people had forgotten about them, they appeared again.More in number, longer stays, and noisier.They even sneaked into the castle, and both servants and ordinary citizens tried to avoid these monsters.Irene once saw a little monster that seemed to be lost, suddenly disappeared and exploded.She thought it was dead at the time, but not long after, she saw the same little monster again.

She didn't know whether these monsters looked similar, or they were immortal...

This is a strange and terrifying monster.

But who cares, as long as she can become a housekeeper, even if she associates with monsters, it's fine.

Geji Geji are plastering the wall. They are using black bricks. This kind of brick is very brittle, but it is the only brick that can be fired in their broken kiln. If you want better bricks, you must use these Bricks are improved in brick kilns. After several experiments, they can probably be fired.But it takes even more time, and it seems impossible to complete the task now.At present, it can only be used now, and at worst, it will be removed and covered later.

→_→I believe there will be more "coolies" at that time.

[There is a young lady. ][Sister! ]

The appearance of Irene caused most of the players to drop their manual work immediately and ran towards her. The rest of the players who were still working looked left and right, and threw things away.

"Hi, I'm Irene. I'm the housekeeper of Baron Monrofi. I'm in charge of building the house from today." Irene had tried her best to tidy herself up before she came. She even gritted her teeth and tore off a piece of her skirt. Cloth strips, and re-coiled hair.She was nervous, but tried to maintain her decency.

Although... Irene's body was smelly and dirty, and she looked very thin, but she didn't look like a skeleton or a living ghost. The players all surrounded her, especially the male players, and finally saw the girl.Although the ratio of male to female players is one to one today, Geji Geji is essentially genderless. They are all equal five-headed bodies, which is really unattractive.

[This should be the little sister, right? ][If the girl tidies up, she is still very beautiful. ]

[Housekeeper?You should wear a black skirt with a lace apron! ]

The author has something to say: Players: Maid skirt! ! !

Kunz ignored you and threw a peach at you.
