Xanadu, my martial soul in Douluo continent
Chapter 88: Belem Manor
At this time, the city lord and his party completed the handover, and a young girl stepped out of the carriage and disappeared among the guards.
"Is this the city lord?"
Baicai turned aside and said, "The most soul master, Canary?"
Fanos City is a second-tier and third-tier city in the Star Luo Empire. The previous city lords are generally the four-ring soul sects. The Beren area is the origin of many trade routes. It is a miracle that the city lord is only a soul sect.
The Gui family symbolizes the thousand-year history of the Belem area. However, with a soul master as the city lord, is there no one left in the Gui family?
It should be noted that the Soul Academy is stationed in the Belen area, so the power of soul masters cannot be underestimated. Due to the prosperity of trade, the noble group is also deeply rooted.
The current city lord has the most soul masters. How to capture the fallen soul master? How to suppress the aristocratic group?
Even if the Gui family has a high prestige, sending a Soul Lord as the city lord still seems too arrogant.
The dean of Shrek is also the city lord, and the minimum standard is to be titled Douluo. Otherwise, other colleges will have to question Shrek's lack of successors.
The Belen area is so rich, even if the Gui family has a high prestige, they have to send at least one soul king.
If we go back to the era of Wuhun Palace, the Lord of Beren City would even be on par with the Cardinal, and his cultivation level should be equal to that of Soul Saint or above.
After the destruction of the Killing City, evil soul masters became increasingly rampant. Normally, to maintain order in the Beren area, top soul masters, such as Contra, were even needed.
After all, prestige and cultivation are two different things. No matter how high the prestige is, if it cannot suppress the fallen soul masters and the aristocratic group, it will be like a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water.
One day ago, Baicai thought that the Lord of Belen City was a thug in front of the stage. At this moment, I am afraid he is not even a thug.
"The main line of the Gui family has been passed down from generation to generation. After losing both parents the year before last, the blood line of the main family has been severed. After all, he is the last Lord of Belen City. Other forces have restrained themselves a lot to avoid arousing the anger of the people of Belen."
Ross said with emotion: "As expected, Guiyue will be the host of previous city lords, presiding over sacrifices twice a year, and then trapped in the city lord's mansion until her death."
Canary can at least see the scenery outside the window, but the Lord of Belem is not allowed to leave without permission. He can only go out of the city twice a year and can only go to the winery to serve as a judge.
The winery and the mansion are Guiyue's two worlds. One is responsibility, and the other is also responsibility.
Baicai was silent.
If it were him, he would probably choose to walk away.
After losing both parents and having nothing to worry about, why was he stuck in the position of city lord and wasting his life?
If you reach Soul Master before the age of twenty, you are already considered a genius in cultivation. Your innate soul power should be at least higher than level three. Even if it is not as good as some monsters, you can still live a life of ease.
When he was six years old, Baicai's wish was just to have soul power, even if it was only half a level, and even if he could not break through to the soul level for the rest of his life.
Although the master is a laughing stock, compared to his peers, the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus is the number one beast in the world. How powerful is it? 90% of mainland soul masters are much weaker than the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus.
No matter how bad the master is, he is still a level 29 great soul master. It is equally easy to hunt ordinary century-old soul beasts, such as the century-old lone bamboo and the century-old ghost wolf.
A commoner family can spend at most dozens of gold soul coins a year, which is the upper-middle level of civilians. There are dozens of households in vegetable rural areas, and one villager can earn up to four or five gold soul coins per year on average.
On the other hand, for soul masters, Shrek's registration fee is ten gold soul coins, which is non-refundable and non-refundable, which shows how wealthy the soul master community is.
If you reach Soul Master before the age of twenty, you can go to any force, even if you become a son-in-law, you can live a happy life.
Most martial arts rely on bloodline inheritance. Whenever a commoner becomes a rich man, he has to recruit some soul masters to improve the family's martial spirit inheritance.
Trapped in a winery or a mansion, you waste your life and your talent for cultivation.
Of course, Baicai is just a passer-by. Even if she feels some sympathy, she still won't say anything. Everyone has to take responsibility for themselves. Guiyue chooses to fulfill her responsibility, so she must bear this kind of life.
Lord Guiyue walked into the winery, and Ross quickly called the servants, led Baicai to the guest room, and rushed to the selection site.
This winery is an ancient industry, completely owned by the Belen family. It has been used to select wine for thousands of years, and there are many unused rooms.
The servant was ordered to lead Baicai to a manor. This manor has been renovated and rebuilt many times. It has a high red brick wall on the outside, neat lawns inside, spires and high pavilions standing on the gray stone road, colorful glazed windows, and birds landing from time to time.
Next, there is a bit of freshness and nature in the ancient and heavy texture.
The manor here is used as a guest room, which is really luxurious. The normal maintenance of the manor requires year-round investment. If there is a lack of maintenance, the decoration will soon decay, weeds will become overgrown, and rats and rabbits will be everywhere.
In fact, many manors were first established without considering subsequent maintenance. After living in them for several generations, they were either sold or abandoned.
Over a hundred years, the investment in maintenance will be as much as rebuilding a manor!
Because it has been abandoned for a long time, the abandoned manor on the outskirts of Belem often has horror stories, such as a bloodthirsty giant rat that likes to eat children, a revengeful ghost wolf, and an evil spirit master who digs up corpses.
Baicai admired the scenery of the manor. The servant pushed open the thick iron gate and took a few steps back. "General servants have no right to enter the manor. Please understand."
Baicai immediately expressed understanding, "Of course."
For the sake of safety, to prevent servants from collaborating in private and to prevent outsiders from colluding with servants, manor servants with different jobs should have different access rights.
Generally speaking, the scope of activities of the manor servants responsible for reception is limited to the outside of the manor, and the scope of activities of the manor servants responsible for management is limited to the inside of the manor. As for housekeepers and maids, they are rarely responsible for reception affairs.
The vegetable farm is adjacent to a manor, and the purchasing servants of the manor next door often go to several nearby villages to purchase daily necessities at low prices.
Even if the price is very low, it is still considered a huge sum of money for several nearby villages. The servants bargain with the villagers, usually talking about the difficulties of the manor in an attempt to lower the price. Therefore, Baicai understands these rules and their intentions.
After the reception servants left, Baicai followed the broad main road, passed through a garden nursery, bypassed a deep ditch, and successfully arrived at the mansion.
It has to be said that the Belen family is truly luxurious, both in construction and maintenance.
The broad main road made of gray stone slabs is flat and hard. The courtyard in the garden is exquisite. Deep ditches lead to clear water, which converges to form a blue lake. The vines climb the nursery supports, and the bushes are full of berries.
A manor like this is enough to show the family's financial strength, and the current head of the family is the Flower of Belém. No wonder Ross boasted that there are more nobles coming to propose marriage than there are barrels in the winery.
There is a fountain in front of the mansion, surrounded by a square. The limestone ground is inlaid with smooth pebbles. Vertical flower beds surround the square. Cottonwood benches are simple and elegant. Some birds are landing near the fountain.
Baicai was walking on the side of the flower bed, and the noon bell suddenly rang. The manor house then pushed open, and a beautiful girl in a lace dress suddenly appeared in front of Baicai.
