The witch thought I am a Demon God

Chapter 31 A strange commission

The large estate near Baron Moreau's castle is actually a large village built by farmers around his castle.

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

The buildings here are obviously one level lower than those in Cali town. Wherever Ivita comes into view, there are almost all thatched houses and no large buildings.

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

There are also some strong men cutting down trees in the woods next to the farmland, and some people are struggling to move the felled trees.

Different from the philistine businessmen and spirited workers in Cali towns, these farmers working in the fields and forests appear simple, slow, and even have a sense of confusion.

These people are actually the serfs of Baron Moreau, the owner of this manor.

A strong farmer pulled a cart full of carrots and walked past them.

Iveta suddenly saw her stupid cow, taking the opportunity to lower its head and eat the carrots in someone else's car.

This frightened Iveta.

Nothing else.

It seems like he is going to lose money.

Ivita called to the peasant. "Your Excellency, look at the carrot behind you and I will pay you."

The farmer pulling the cart looked back at the cow that was eating, then thought about it expressionlessly, picked up three more carrots and threw them on the ground, "Niu Niu, eat more."

Then, he turned back, pulled the car and continued to move forward. "No need to pay. Anyway, these radishes are from the lord's field. If you don't eat them, you will get nothing."

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

Ivita: "..."

He finally saw the mental state of the serfs in the manor.

After that person has gone far.

Ivita complained to Black Wolf and Rayleigh: "This place is almost a different world 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 that I walked in my previous life on Earth.

So close yet so far!

Black Wolf said: "There should be many escaped slaves. These people will escape to the town of Cali and become free people."

Reilly shook his head. "Mr. Demon Hunter, you are thinking too simply. First of all, there is a seven-day pursuit law, which gives the lord the right to hunt down escaped serfs for seven days."

"Towns generally don't want to cause trouble."

"Secondly, places like 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 guilds and town councils, but they will starve to death or thirst to death."

Reilly explained: "These serfs did not have freedom, but their living conditions were not necessarily worse than those of 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."

"Citizens in towns and cities can only be responsible for their own profits and losses and seek their own happiness. Even if they starve to death or die of thirst, no one will care about them except the loan sharks."

"So even if a lot of people have the opportunity to become citizens of cities and towns, they're not going to take advantage of that opportunity."

Suddenly Reilly had a good metaphor. "Although it seems inappropriate to say this, it is like the difference between domestic dogs and wild wolves."

Ivita smiled, and then they moved on. This time Ivita asked Reilly to watch the cow behind to prevent it from eating anything else.

But Lei Li said that the silly cow had already eaten four carrots and should be full for the time being.

Unlike the orderly town of Cali, they walked around the manor for a long time and no one paid attention to them. The serfs did not want to meddle in their own business.

The soldiers also seemed to be somewhat reluctant to stick to their posts.

Later, they met some guard soldiers. After they explained that they were explorers and passed the inspection, the soldiers ignored them.

He just warned them not to cause trouble and not to steal things from the fields, because those things belonged to the lord.

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

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

After getting permission, the young man arranged for their carriage and oxen, and led them to a small side hall on the second floor of the castle.

Because it seems to be just a small baron's castle, the castle has no outer city or moat, only an inner city.

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

Ivita followed the servant who led the way and walked up the spiral staircase. He keenly discovered that the staircase spiraled upwards clockwise.

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

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

This means that a top-down person can use a very skilled dominant hand.

If the person below steps up, his or her chest will be exposed to the weapon of the person above.

To put it simply, it is similar to an unbalanced map in a game map. One side is the side with the accustomed perspective, and the other side is the side with the non-accustomed perspective.

When they arrived on the second floor, they were not led into the real reception room on the second floor, but a small side room.

But it's normal.

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

In the side room, a young man about eighteen years old, wearing a robe decorated with complicated patterns, was already waiting inside.

This man should be the Baron’s eldest son, Blanton Morrow!

Ivita handed over the task book, and Blanton Morrow was a little excited. "You are finally here, you really helped me a lot."

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

"But……"

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

What chance of survival is there?

"Didn't you send someone to look for it?"

Brenton Morrow actually started crying on the spot. "No, because everyone told me that I have no sister at all. They said that I was a sister who appeared in fantasy, but I remember clearly that she was taken away from me by the ogre. We were hunting at the time, and then Encountered an ogre."

"No, it could be a group."

"Then my sister was kidnapped by the ogres, but I don't know why people around me are telling me that I don't have a sister."

Ivita and others were dumbfounded.

Ivita looked at Rayleigh and Black Wolf. Rayleigh shook his head, and Black Wolf shrugged: "I have never encountered such a strange commission."

"Perhaps our employer's mental state..."

"Yes, my son is indeed crazy. He has no sister at all!" A strong voice suddenly appeared in the room, and a sturdy man walked in outside the door. This man had a short haircut. His hair, brows and facial expressions look very powerful.

Obviously, this is Baron Moreau.

Baron Moreau looked at Blanton Moreau with disgust. "Asshole, do you know how many people will covet our territory if the news spreads that you are crazy?"

"You are the heir here. Baron Morrow is responsible for guarding the main roads and detecting the enemy's situation for the Viscount. If your situation is known, many people will suggest to the Grand Viscount to replace the heir. I hope you don't Don’t do anything 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 Morrow sighed and said helplessly to Ivita and others: "Dear guests, you can actually 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 leave. I hope you can leave my territory early tomorrow morning. Otherwise, I will ask the guards to arrest you."

"Now please get out of here."

Ivita looked confused.

this……

Didn't that Druid say yes, I will get what I want in this task?

What's going on?

Black Wolf and Rayleigh obviously did not 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 Great Witch of Hearthstone.
