Happy people from Blue Star

Chapter 19 Aloba's Special Custom
The matter of the mountain people was solved so easily.

The next day, Jack set off, went to the mountain people to hand over to Roger, and brought the plan written by Hardy.

Next, this group of mountain people will start building roads and houses according to the plan. Hardy will not go to check and accept until a small military camp is formed.

Of course, during this period, Hardy will let Jack and two newly recruited mercenaries supervise the mountain people.

To ensure that the mountain people will work according to his plan.

A lot of money and food will be spent during this period, but compared with the wealth of Hardy's family, it is a drop in the bucket.

Besides, Hardy's family is not without income.

The wine of the manor can bring in a lot of income. There are also several shops in Hexi City, which are engaged in the purchase and processing of furs, as well as grain trading.

Hardy himself lived an extremely industrious and regular life on the estate.

Practice swordsmanship in the morning, learn magic theory in the afternoon, and become a nightmare knight in the evening, galloping on horseback in the deserted mountains and forests.

It can be said that apart from taking a bath, sleeping and eating, he has been making himself stronger without wasting a second.

After more than half a month of tossing like this, he was strong, and then received an invitation.

From the Count of Virginia, inviting him to a mysterious banquet tonight.

Lilian handed the invitation to Hardy, and said, "Master, do you want Green and Perot to come back and go to the Lord's Castle with you to save your face?"

Hardy shook his head: "No, with the strength of your lord, it is very easy to deal with our Hardy family. Let alone two more mercenaries, twenty more are useless."

The strength of Green and Perot is very average. They can't even beat Hardy now, let alone contend with the lord.

Among the professionals under the lord's command, there may not be any particularly strong ones, but there are many others who cannot stand up to them.

Dozens of professionals serve it, plus at least [-] elite soldiers.

This is the confidence of the Virginia family, which has been passed down for six generations in the Hexi collar.

"Besides, I think this should be a good thing." Hardy smiled.

In the evening, Hardy changed into a dress, and then Jack's grandson, Link, drove the carriage to the Lord's Mansion.

Link is serious and meticulous in his work.

Although compared with Jack, there are still many shortcomings, for example, he loves to be surprised and doesn't know how to guide the maids to do things.

But he is easy to learn, even driving a carriage, he already looks good.

When we arrived at the lord's castle, it was completely dark.

Hardy thought that Virginia VI should have invited many guests to this so-called mysterious banquet, but he did not expect that there were only ten carriages neatly parked outside the gate of the manor.

In other words, this is a fairly private banquet?

After Hardy showed the invitation to the guards, he entered the castle.

This time the hall was a bit dim, not many candles were lit, and a group of people were already standing and chatting inside.

The fat lord Virginia sat under the throne, chatting with other people with a smile, and then saw Hardy coming in, he immediately waved and said, "Haddy, come here."

Hardy walked over, bowed and saluted, "I haven't seen you for a month, Lord Lord."

"Indeed." A smile appeared on Virginia's fat and wrinkled face: "You have done a good job. Not only did you solve the problem of the mountain people, but you also turned them into your own sharecroppers. What a strange idea."

There were more than a dozen people standing around, all of them were Virginia's "leader". Hearing that Virginia had praised him so much, they all looked at the handsome young man in front of them curiously.

"I just thought of it in a flash of inspiration. It's just good luck."

Virginia waved her hand: "No one else thought of it, but you thought of it. This is also a skill."

Then he stood up and glanced at the steward next to him, who immediately went to take the ceremonial sword and handed it over to him.

"You should still remember my promise to you."

Hardy immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "Thank you Lord for your reward."

"I have already said the oath words when I canonized you as a knight before. I don't want to say it now. I keep everything simple, because there will be more important things later." Virginia pressed the ceremony sword on Hardy's left shoulder: "From now on, you are the Baron of the River and Creek Territory, enjoying all the privileges of a baron, and also need to fulfill the obligations of a baron."

Hardy breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully: "Thank you very much for your trust and love, Your Excellency. I will continue to guard this land and the sacred and great surname Virginia."

No wonder Hardy was excited.

The baron is a true nobleman, and there is an insurmountable gap between the so-called knight status and it.

With the status of nobility, many things are much easier to handle.

Virginia took back the long sword and handed it to the steward next to him. He smiled and said, "From now on, you will have the right to open up the territory. Just remember that you can't do anything to our own people. By the way, the letter of appointment will be delivered to your home tomorrow."

"I understand." Hardy stood up.

Applause erupted from all around, and more than a dozen other nobles from Hexi collar sent their sincere congratulations to Hardy.

Virginia looked around, and just as he was canonizing Hardy as a nobleman, four more people came.

"Since everyone is here..." Virginia clapped her hands, "Close the door and the banquet will begin."

The gate of the castle entrance was closed with a bang. At this moment, Virginia showed a smug smile on her face: "I sent people to Misr for three years, and got a very rare thing. I don't want to keep it to myself. You are all my most precious friends. I will share this joy with you to witness our beautiful friendship."

Misr?
Hardy recalled it for a while, and soon remembered that this is a desert country, and its specialty is deadly sweet dates, as well as several majestic pyramids.

There are very rare things there?
I have no impression.

Hardy also went there to farm monsters in the game before, and the gold-making efficiency was average. Later, he moved to Francie, which made him 'rich'.

But other nobles are not as confused as Hardy.

They seemed to understand something in an instant, their eyes lit up, and they swallowed hard.

At this time, two servants came in carrying a stretcher. There was something heavy on it, and it was covered with a white mask. It was temporarily unclear what it was.

The stretcher was placed on the dining table by the servants.

The other nobles immediately rushed to the dining table and found their seats.

Put a napkin on your clothes, take the knife and fork at the same time, and wait for the meal to start.

Hardy also sat down, looking at the stretcher, guessing what was inside.

Rare monster meat?
or something else?
Just when he was guessing endlessly, the white cloth was taken away by the servant, and the things underneath revealed their true appearance.

Wow!

The nobles let out an exclamation of joy.

As for Hardy, the pupils of his eyes trembled... the expression on his face was filled with horror.

On the dining table was a mummy.

He has seen disgusting corpses in the game, and a mummy should not scare him.

But... the attitude shown by these nobles is the reason for his fear.

These people want to eat this mummy?
At this time, Virginia said proudly: "This is a holy pharaoh. In order to buy him, I lost more than 100 gold coins. Therefore, as the master, I took the first knife and took away his most important parts. Do you have any opinions?"

"No!" The nobles shouted excitedly: "Long live Virginia!"

Amidst the cheers, Virginia VI cut the table knife between the mummy's legs, and took off a short but strip-shaped thing.

The butler next to him handed over the red wine with both hands.

Virginia put the strip-shaped thing into the wine glass, shook it a few times, waited for a while, took a sip, and sighed contentedly: "As expected of a holy pharaoh, the taste is better than the average Mishr."

The nobles all showed envious eyes.

And Hardy couldn't bear it anymore, he quickly fled from the dining table, ran to a corner of the castle, and vomited it out with a loud wow.

The food in the stomach was emptied in an instant, and then the stomach acid poured out of his mouth like water.

It's so fucking disgusting.

The nobles all looked over, and after a moment of silence, they all burst out laughing unanimously.
