Knights of the Wasteland Fortress

Chapter 104 The Nordwald Family

Noah vomited loudly while holding the rapier in his hand.

Lancelot glanced at him in surprise, shook his head helplessly, walked to the door of the side hall and knocked on the door:
"It's over, come in and clean up."

The door opened again, and the maid Felt led several black-clothed maids dressed similarly to her to enter.

They turned a blind eye to the corpse on the ground, and quickly dismantled the boy's body into several pieces, wrapped them in sheepskin bags, and used magic to draw out the blood on the ground and put them into wooden barrels, then added deodorant and discoloration potions, and It was deposited into ordinary sewage.

In the end, they cleaned up the knives, forks and plates that had fallen on the ground, and the traces of Xu Xiu's previous visits disappeared completely.

This included the vomit on Noah's body and on the ground, which were also cleaned up by the capable maids.

Noah looked at all this a little blankly.

He realized that the life of the explorer was completely different from what he had imagined.

An indescribable feeling of enlightenment slowly spread in his heart.

After the noon episode, it's time for dinner.

As Lancelot's confidant and new follower, Noah also attended the internal dinner of the Nordwald family.

Compared with the grandeur of the side halls, the main hall of the castle presents dark tones of black and red.

In the cold and gloomy stone hall, there is a large dining table in the center of the hall.

However, only three people sat on this giant oval long table that could accommodate dozens of people.

They are the patriarch of the Nordward family, Hannette Nordward, who has orthodox wizard blood; his half-brother, Lancelot Nordward, who is also the second captain of the Cheorwon Sanctuary, And Hannett's only daughter, Wendy Nordward.

Compared to the handsome Lancelot, Hannette Nordwald is a gray-haired middle-aged man about 50 years old.

His face was square and slightly elongated. His medium-length hair was combed to the sides, revealing a deeply wrinkled forehead. He looked serious and silent, appearing somewhat gloomy and majestic.

His daughter is a dark-haired girl who is not very beautiful. The wide forehead and gray eyes inherited from her father make her look a little gloomy. Thin as a skeleton.

Compared with Lancelot, the captain of the guard, who was dressed in red, the father and daughter were all dressed in black, as if they were widowers and orphans in mourning.

Noah felt that the air on the dining table seemed to be torn in two.

One half is Lancelot with a smile on his face all the time, and the other half is the low pressure carried by the two orthodox heirs of the Nordwald family.

After silently enjoying the steamed pumpkin and lamb, the gray-haired middle-aged man wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, looked at Lancelot, and said suddenly:

"What happened to the boy who was brought into the castle by the guards today?"

Noah's heart tightened suddenly, but seeing Lancelot's calm smile, he gradually calmed down.

And Lancelot replied without any panic:

"It's just a little liar who is a liar. I don't know where he came to find out about the door opener, so he came to cheat us for money. I've confirmed that he doesn't know anything except a little bit of common rumors. I've already Let your guards deal with it."

Nolan's voice was very calm, as if he had executed a lamb, causing Hannit to frown:

"Didn't I tell you to make less killings? For the circuit experiment, too much resentment will affect the accuracy of the experiment."

However, Nolan couldn't help laughing out loud:
"Brother Hannit, stop joking! If you really cared about this, would you still treat your territory like this? Do you know how much the gate tax was collected by the tax collector? A whole 3 copper coins! And the city Dead man, the stench is coming to the castle! If that little liar hadn't deceived too many people outside, do you think he would have bluffed and tricked us?"

Seeing that Hannit was silent, Nolan continued with a sarcasm on his face:

"And this little liar dared to walk in so ostentatiously, and even sent out delicious food and drink, what do you think the untouchables outside will evaluate us? 'Good and stupid Lord Nordwar'? Believe it or not, it will be soon There will be a lot of big liars and little liars appearing at the gate of your castle?"

Looking at the captain of the guard who looked like a real dude, Hannit Nordwar sighed:

"I asked the tax officials to increase the city gate tax. The magic seal experiment was very expensive, and the outside world's land reclamation was delayed because of those barbarians, so I had to let the tax officials Tax more."

Baron Nordvard closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead, seeming a little tired.

And at this time, Wendy Nordwald also stood up, dragging her long black hair hanging straight behind her back, she owed her body to the other two, and said with a gloomy face: "I'm done eating, I'm going to rest first." .”

"Etiquette, Wendy, you..."

Seeing his daughter's disrespectful behavior, Hannit just wanted to get angry, but closed his mouth again.

He really wanted to arrange an etiquette teacher for his daughter, but the magic seal experiment in his hand had already taken up most of Nordwar's tax revenue.

So he can no longer take care of his children's education.

This "poverty" situation has become a sharp sword hanging over their heads since the glorious black boar family was forced to relocate to this small border territory.

So he had to turn to his younger brother who was better at managing the territory than himself:

"The supervision from the tax officials is up to you, Lancelot. I know that the current taxation is approaching the limit, so you let those tax officials be less greedy, so that we can have more money in our hands."

"Don't you still have Henry's slave hunting team? Just ask Henry to give you more pocket money."

Lancelot's disdainful remarks made Noah slightly taken aback.

Because before talking to Xu Xiu, they had already learned from Felt that Henry's slave hunting team had been wiped out.

But Noah soon realized that this news was something Lancelot should not have known.

So he saw Lancelot's expression of ignorance, and Hannit sighed and nodded:

"Henry and the others were completely wiped out by the barbarians, and it is unknown who leaked the news. They were ambushed by the entire White Wolf clan, and almost no one escaped. Henry's old butler, Bart the one-eyed dragon, was also folded in the ambush circle and promised to give My [-] magic crystal coins are gone too."

"So the knight's ceremony is also...?"

Lancelot asked tentatively.

"Cancelled too."

Hannity nodded and said, with a calm expression: "But the materials that have been prepared cannot be wasted. The young man behind you is your new servant, right? Tell him to prepare. I want to engrave the knight who was just unsealed earlier. give him—”

"Canonize him as a named knight!"

　Today is like this, tomorrow there is probably another day’s perspective of the empire, and I will return the day after tomorrow
