Chapter 31 A Strange Commission
The large manor near Baron Morrow's castle is actually a large village built around his castle by some farmers.

There are no free farmers either, here are all serfs.

The buildings here are obviously one level lower than that of Cali town. Where Ivita comes into sight, they are almost all thatched cottages, and there are no large buildings.

There are also well-cultivated square-shaped farmlands around. There are some cabbages, radishes, broad beans, cucumbers, radishes, onions, pumpkins and other crops on the farmland, and some dark-skinned farmers are working in the fields.

There are also some middle-aged people who are cutting trees in the woods next to the farmland, and some people are struggling to move the felled trees.

Unlike the philistine merchants and spirited workers in the town of Cali, these peasants working in the fields and forests appear simple, dull, and even have a sense of confusion.

These people are actually the master of this manor, the serfs of Baron Molo.

A sturdy peasant man walked past them, pulling a cart full of carrots.

Ivita suddenly saw his stupid cow, and took the opportunity to lower his head to eat the carrots in his car.

This frightened Evita.

nothing else.

It looks like he's about to lose money.

Evita called the peasant. "Your Excellency, look at the carrot behind you, I'll pay you back."

The farmer pulling the cart glanced back at the stolen cow, then thought about it blankly, then picked up three carrots and threw them on the ground, "Niu Niu, eat more."

Then, he turned back, pulled the car and continued to move forward. "You don't need to lose money. Anyway, these radishes are from the lord's field, so you don't have to eat them for nothing."

"The lord is a fool who can't count. He can't count a few carrots."

Evita: "..."

He had seen the mental state of the serfs in the manor.

After that person walks away.

Ivita complained to Heilang and Rayleigh: "This is almost two worlds from Cali town, can you believe that those greedy guys in Cali town don't need us to compensate! The most terrifying thing is, The distance between these two worlds is only twenty kilometers."

It was probably just a few more streets away from my previous life on Earth.

So close, yet so far away!

Hei Lang said: "There should be many escaped slaves. These people will flee to the town of Cali and become free people."

Riley shook his head. "Mr. Demon Hunter, your thinking is too simple. First of all, there is the seven-day hunting law, which is to give the lord the right to hunt down the escaped serfs for seven days."

"Towns don't want trouble."

"Secondly, places like cities and towns are a society of acquaintances. Without neighbors and relatives, it is impossible to gain a foothold."

"And freedom comes at a price. Citizens in towns have no lords, they are their own masters, they only need to obey the guild and the town council, but they will die of starvation and thirst."

Raleigh explained: "These serfs were not free, but their living conditions were not necessarily worse than those of the citizens in the towns."

"Even in the famine season, the lords will try their best to protect them, because they are the lord's property."

"A territory without many people is something the lords don't want to see."

"The citizens in the cities and towns can only be responsible for their own profits and losses, and seek their own happiness. Even if they die of starvation or thirst, no one will care about them except usurers."

"So a lot of people don't take advantage of the opportunity to become citizens of cities and towns if they have the opportunity."

Raleigh suddenly had a good analogy. "Although it seems inappropriate to say this, it seems to be the difference between domestic dogs and wild wolves."

Ivita smiled, and they moved on, this time Ivita told Raleigh to watch over the cow behind him so it wouldn't eat anything.

Raleigh said that the silly cow had already eaten four carrots, so he should be full for the time being.

Unlike the well-organized town of Cali, they walked around the manor for a long time, but no one paid them any attention. The serfs didn't want to meddle in their own business.

The soldiers also seemed a little less stick to their posts.

Later, they encountered some guard soldiers. After explaining that they were explorers and passed the inspection, the soldiers stopped talking to them.

Just warn them not to cause trouble, and not to steal from the fields, because those belong to the lord.

If they cause trouble here, they will be expelled forever at least, and they will be hanged on a tree by Baron Mo Luo.

Then, after many inquiries, they asked a young man guarding the castle to inform the eldest son of Baron Morrow, Brenton.

After obtaining consent, the young man arranged for their carriage and oxen, and led them to a small wing on the second floor of the castle.

Because it seems to be just a small baron's castle, there is no outer city and moat in this castle, only an inner city.

The most important rooms inside the castle are actually the spacious living room and the church, and the rest are small rooms next to each other.

Ivita followed the servant leading the way up the spiral staircase, and he keenly noticed that the staircase spiraled clockwise.

Yes, generally the stairs of this kind of castle spiral up clockwise.

Because of this, if an intruder wants to break into the second floor of the castle, they need to walk this staircase, but clockwise is an extremely unfavorable direction for people going up from below.

This means that someone from the top down can use a very skilled habitual hand.

And if the person below walks up, the chest will be exposed to the weapon of the person above.

To put it simply, it is similar to the unbalanced map in the game map, one side is the habitual perspective side, and the other side is the non-habitual perspective side.

When they reached the second floor, they were not introduced to the real reception room on the second floor, but a small side room.

But also normal.

Ivita and the others are just humble explorers now, not a nobleman visiting another nobleman.

In the side room, a young man wearing a robe embellished with intricate patterns was already waiting inside.

This person should be the eldest son of the baron, Brenton Molo!
Ivita handed over the task book, and Branton Molo was a little excited. "You finally came, and you really helped me a lot."

"My sister has been missing for more than three and a half months."

"But……"

Evita frowned. "It's been three and a half months?"

What else is there to survive?
"Didn't you send someone to look for it?"

Brenton Morrow actually burst into tears on the spot. "No, because everyone told me I didn't have a sister at all. They said I was a sister who appeared in fantasy, but I remember very well that she was taken from my face by ogres. We were hunting, and then Encountered an ogre."

"No, it might be a group."

"Then my sister was taken away by ogres, but for some reason, people around me are telling me that I don't have a sister."

Ivita and the others were dumbfounded.

Ivita looked at Lei Li and Hei Lang, Lei Li shook his head, and Hei Lang shrugged: "I have never encountered such a strange commission."

"Perhaps our employer's state of mind..."

"That's right, my son is indeed insane, he doesn't have a younger sister at all!" A mid-spirited voice suddenly appeared in the room, and a burly man walked in from the door. With hair, brows and eyes, and a face with Chinese characters, it looks very powerful.

Obviously, this is Baron Morrow.

Baron Morrow looked at Branton Morrow in disgust. "Asshole, do you know how many people will covet our territory if the news of your madness spreads?"

"You are the heir here, and the Baron of Morrow is responsible for guarding the main roads for the viscount country and detecting the enemy's situation. If your situation is known, many people will suggest to the grand viscount to replace an heir. I hope you don't Do something stupid again."

Brenton Morrow became excited. "No, father, have you forgotten your sister? You have a daughter, and I have a sister. You used to like your sister the most!"

Baron Molo sighed, and said helplessly to Ivita and the others: "Guests, in fact, you can go around and ask if I have a daughter."

"But I won't entertain you here for the time being."

"This mission is also nonsense."

"You can go, I hope you can leave my territory early tomorrow morning. Otherwise, I will ask the guards to arrest you."

"Now please leave here."

Evita was dumbfounded.

This……

Didn't the druid say yes, I will get what I want in this mission?

What's the situation.

Hei Lang and Lei Li obviously didn't expect this situation, and they all looked strange.

They could only leave temporarily. When they left, Baron Morrow was still muttering, "I suspect that my son was poisoned by a witch."

So, everyone looked at the Hearthstone Witch.

The hearthstone witch said: "Look at what I am doing!"
