The moon rises and sets, and night falls soon.

In this age of steam, only a few big cities are dimly lit, and when night falls on farms, there are only a few dim, feeble gleams.

Among the low rustic wooden spires, the four-story masonry building of the manor is undoubtedly particularly eye-catching.

In the past, at night, the place was bound to be decorated with lanterns, as if it were a festival, but today it was abnormally dark. Only one part of the hall was bright, and the silence was so frightening.

Those black windows were like the grinning faces of giant monsters, which made people shudder from a distance.

Tang You sat cross-legged under two neat rows of street trees in front of the manor, closing his eyes and resting. Every tree here is thick and tall, with strong roots, and obviously quite old.

Its sensitive five senses can clearly detect that four or five gunmen are hiding in the dark, enduring mosquito bites to be vigilant around them, but turning a blind eye to the living people sitting cross-legged.

After Tang You finished talking to Judith just now, he didn't actually leave, but first went to another tavern in the town to book a room to stay in, and then used a little trick to return to the farm.

This is enough for ordinary people.

He heard some news secretly that the maid was not kidnapped by the giant bird, but just went back to visit her parents the day before yesterday, but the rumors that were put together became more and more evil.

But the barn was opened and all the cattle were killed, it was a solid fact.

Monsters from other worlds are not good stubble, they put fat around their mouths—human beings with light spots of divine soul do not eat them, they just bite the flesh and blood of cows, indicating that it is just a careful test.

Those creatures are not very strong, and they have fallen into a completely unfamiliar world. It is normal to be careful and vigilant.

But yesterday's attack has made it understand the truth, and there is a high probability that a real killer will be shot tonight. But monsters do not distinguish between good and bad, and the surrounding farmers are also in danger.

Tang You is obviously not the kind of person who will put the safety of the people at risk in order to be handsome.

"Chirp..."

There were crickets chirping around.

A bright moon broke through the dark clouds and hung high in the sky, making the gloomy earth covered with silver glow. In the center of the vast wheat field, the gurgling river was full of scattered light spots, as if coming from a dream.

"Wang Wang..."

From time to time in the farmer's house, dogs barked away, wandering towards the distant mountains.

Over time, even many wild insects fell asleep, and the night became quieter. The ambush gunmen were already a little sleepy, but they were awakened by the vicious mosquitoes.

"Snapped!

A bloodstain was slapped with a palm, and a certain gunman scolded angrily: "This damn bug! I have bulges all over my body now, itching and pain."

"I can't wait to invite this damn bird to eat a gun, and it's better to roast its wings and eat it.

The person next to him stopped: "Be quiet!"

Then he added: "Don't be so complacent, who knows what it is and whether our guys can work.

"what!"

The former gunman grinned: "Don't worry about it, what can't a gun do?"

"Our ship has discovered the whole world, whether elephants in the Philippines, crocodiles in the southeast, or brown bears on Kodiak Island in northern magnesium, they can only be obedient prey.

"Those guys don't even lift the roof, they can clean up the shed. So, the guys from last night are still far behind them.

"It should be an eagle that was only shipped from Nanmeizhou, with a wingspan as long as three or four meters, and rich people like to do it. 99

"Some time ago, didn't our king report to the newspaper to look for his lost Andean condor? I guess it was this one last night.

At present, the Kingdom of Bavaria is still under semi-feudal rule. The king should have great power, but when the gunman mentioned the former, he did not show much respect.

Because the current Otto I is mentally ill, all government affairs are managed by Prince Ruterbird.

Coincidentally, the predecessor King Ludwig II - the man on the coin, was a sage monarch in his youth, but became mentally ill in his later years.

And just a few days after he was declared insane, he died in his castle.

Then, the patient Otto I ascended the throne, but never gained power for a day, and Prince Ruterbird presided over domestic affairs throughout. Some things are so subtle.

"Okay, don't talk about this, let's save some energy." The people in the team muttered.

Thus, the environment returned to dead silence.

But Tang You, who was sitting cross-legged under the street tree, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at a dark shadow passing over the bright moon.

After a while, with a scream, the entire manor was completely boiled.

In the occasional flash of fire, the sound of gunshots and roars blended together, and the sporadic screams of women were used as embellishments. Looking around, blurred figures ran around.

Many nearby farmers woke up from their sleep and shivered in their beds.

After fighting for about four or five minutes, there was a gunshot coming from the main building, and then, an unpleasant hissing sound rang out in the darkness, and a black shadow went straight to the dark clouds and quickly disappeared.

After staying here, Tang You just stood up and went to the town that relies on the train station.

A "train village" like a wharf will never lack pubs and hotels.

Tang You, who changed his appearance and acted without leaving any hidden dangers for Leonard, hid his figure and returned to the tavern he had reserved. The environment here was obviously better, at least the bedding no longer smelled of sweat.

Accommodation, and eating a few eggs in the afternoon, the two silver one-mark coins and a dozen copper fenny coins left in his pocket were all spent.

But Tang You is not in a hurry.

Even if an extraordinary person is rigorous and lawful to the extreme, he will never be short of money and hungry, not to mention a lot of money will be sent immediately.

The next day, when Tang You stepped on the "squeaky" wooden stairs and went downstairs to wash in the public sink, Philip Judith was already waiting outside the tavern with the gunman.

"Sir, good morning!"

As soon as the latter saw him, he immediately took off his hat to say hello, and there was hardly anything unusual on the bright side.

But Tang You, who has extraordinary perception, still captures the fleeting gratitude, awe, and doubts in his pupils...

It is a remarkable thing that a person like Philip, who is "famous" in the local area, is waiting outside the tavern with his guards.

Just because it's not easy to mess with, everyone just kept a low profile and didn't gather around.

Seeing that he took off his hat first and greeted a man in ordinary clothes in a very polite tone, the people nearby almost dropped their jaws.

It's not that you haven't seen a similar situation, but it only happened when the noble lord came down to inspect.

Tang You glanced at Philip Judit calmly: "You came earlier than I thought."

It was after ten o'clock in the morning. According to his perception, when the sky just appeared white, the group of people had already arrived here. After asking the boss about his whereabouts, they stood outside and waited.

It came in such a hurry, and when it arrived, it was so cautious and sincere. It was obvious that he was very frightened last night.

Judith put on his hat again, turned slightly sideways, revealing the carriage pulled by the two horses at the back, and lowered his voice slightly: "Sir, thank you for your help, I will be in the carriage with what you want."

Immediately afterwards, he took two more steps to approach Tang You, and his voice was even more subtle:

"Also please forgive my ignorance yesterday, I now believe you are a 'professional', could you please go to the farm again?"

After speaking, without waiting for the mysterious figure in front of him to speak, Judit hurriedly added:

"Of course, I am a person who understands etiquette, and I will never let you go for nothing, I have prepared a more generous reward in the manor.

Although his performance is very weak and interesting, Tang You's heart is not disturbed.

What he gathered yesterday through the power of weak prayers shows that although Judith is not as bad as the porter described, it is definitely a poisonous snake.

Tang You, who goes back in time and space, can't control this whole era, but since he meets a bad guy, he can get rid of it easily.

Facing the pondering of the "mysterious figure", Judith's eyes gradually raised -3.5 traces of anxiety, until the anxiety became more and more obvious, Tang You nodded slowly; "Okay.

The former's heart fell to the ground.

After Tang You boarded the carriage, Judith followed, took out a small wooden box from under the seat, opened it, and the bright golden color came into view.

There are all gold coins with a face value of 20 marks. If it is calculated according to 500 marks, there are 25 gold coins.

In this era, the total savings of the Hans State Bank was only a few billion marks, and it had to be spread evenly among more than 40 million people, and each person was less than 100 marks.

According to the current coefficient of stored currency and circulating currency, the average wealth held is about four or five hundred.

Of course, as everyone knows, the average is often unable to accurately represent the people, such as the average gross national product of the later Yan Kingdom.

Therefore, the money actually owned by the common people is much smaller than four or five hundred marks.

From this point of view, five hundred marks is by no means a small number.

On the other side, people in the small town watched the car go away little by little, accompanied by a horse-riding escort, and couldn't help but raise the same question:

"What is the origin of this young man?"
