She Is Not a Witch Chapter 86: Viscount Mo Ruo
The next day, after traveling all the way, the caravan finally reached the end of this time, which is the castle where Viscount Moruo was located.
After going over the hills and forests, a flat field appeared between the two tall mountains.
The fields are planted with wheat, and the fields are scattered on the ground like large grids, which makes people look from a distance and has a pleasing beauty.
On the high mountain near the west side, there is a circle of white stone walls, and inside is a small city. If you continue upward along the hillside, you can see the white castle in the shade of trees.
This castle, built more than a hundred years ago, is not dilapidated. It still retains its original style. A few soldiers patrolled the castle’s watchtower, overlooking the small city and the wilderness below.
Lorraine Hill followed the convoy into the city. After some inspection by the guards, the convoy continued to move forward and slowly walked towards the hillside where the castle was located.
"Welcome, Miss Charlene." A captain in full armor stepped forward. He lifted his steel mask, revealing a slightly handsome face.
"This is the captain of the castle's guard, Kevin, is an old acquaintance." Charlene introduced to Lorrain Hill next to her.
"Hello, beautiful lady swordsman." Kevin has short chestnut hair and some unshaven scum on his chin. He looks about 25-30 years old.
"Hello." Lorrain Hill nodded, stretched out his armband and shook it briefly.
"Is this Miss Charlene's new partner, it's very strong." Kevin probably has the strength of Sequence 4, and can be regarded as a small master in the surroundings. Naturally, he can detect the extraordinaryness of this Miss Swordsman.
"Of course, Messia is our great hero." Charlene took Lorrain Hill into the castle and talked about what happened along the way.
"Is there such a big bear? It's not a trivial matter." Kevin rubbed his chin, recalling all kinds of information he had received recently. This peaceful place seems to have seen a lot of traces of Warcraft recently.
"Forget it, I don't understand it for the time being, I'll talk to Lord Moruo later."
"Master Moruo is looking forward to Miss Charlene's arrival recently. After he lost his beloved piano before, he became a lot irritable. Every time we saw him, we were a little worried."
Afterwards, Kevin also talked to Charlene about what happened in the castle recently. Viscount Mo Ruo is a music fan, and his biggest hobby is to play his beloved piano in the forest.
"The music of birdsong, sunshine and breeze is the best enjoyment in life." This is the mantra often used by Viscount Mo Ruo.
He likes nature, hates the uniform symphony in big cities, and prefers quiet and moving minor tunes. He lives in this castle in his hometown all year round. Had it not been for a small animal that had damaged his piano some time ago, he might have been sitting in the tree-shaded seat again at this point in time.
"We bought a brand-new piano from a well-known musical instrument shop in Dragon Wing City according to Master Moruo's request. By the way, we also hired a tuning apprentice to test and assemble this piano." Sha Miss Lin said it was okay, they brought what the Viscount Master wanted.
"However, the other goods ordered by the Viscount, such as fruits, drinks, and fabrics, lost a lot on the road. The black bear caused a lot of damage to the carriage."
"These problems are not big. Believe me, Lord Moruo is more concerned about whether the piano is in good condition. As long as Miss Charlene brings the piano, the adults will be satisfied with a score of seven or more." Kevin said openly, and then greeted the castle. The maid here went to inform the butler.
The personnel of the caravan unloaded the goods one by one in the open space in the castle and moved them carefully. This is a middle-aged housekeeper who also came over.
"Oh, what a beautiful day. Thank you Miss Charlene." He looked at the box that was slowly moved down, with an exaggerated and admiring smile on his face, and then stepped forward to greet Miss Charlene.
"I will notify Lord Moruo immediately. You guys will rest here for a while."
"Jasmine, go to the kitchen and prepare some water for everyone. I must be thirsty."
"Yes, sir." A young maid nodded and bowed, and then walked back in small steps.
After a few chats, the butler returned to the castle again, seeming to be looking for Viscount Moruo, while Kevin took a few guards to check the goods one by one, and moved vegetables and fruits to the designated warehouse.
Lorraine Hill was idle at this time, she was just a guard hired by the caravan and didn't need to move things. Sitting on the bench beside him, he looked around a little boredly.
Looking from the inside of the castle, there are some moss on the stone brick walls, and some places still have rust stains where water often flows. Compared with this slightly old castle exterior wall, the building inside is much newer. Only the light-colored goose-yellow walls on the walls can be seen that they have been painted in recent years, and they are very clean and beautiful.
Along the wall, you can see the arched window sills, which are inlaid with glass lattice windows. Some windows are not closed, but the wind is allowed to blow through the curtains and into them.
At this moment, a woman's face poked out from behind the window and looked down quietly. After a while, she withdrew back into the room and was no longer visible.
Is it the wife of the castle? I just don't know if it is Viscount Moruo's wife or daughter. The girl simply guessed.
A crisp sound of footsteps came from inside the castle. The sound of leather shoes stepping on the marble slab at that time made people think of some kind of rigid and conservative dress.
Soon, the sound of footsteps walked out of the hall and came to the courtyard in the castle.
"Master Moruo." Kevin salutes respectfully, acting like a dedicated guard.
The girl turned her gaze when she heard the sound, and a little old man in a black dress and leather shoes appeared in her sight. He looked like he was about fifty years old and he was only about 1.5 meters tall, with a bright beard on his chin. .
The Viscount Lord didn't care about Kevin's greeting, and simply waved his hand, then walked down the steps and came to the box placed on the clearing.
"Where is the piano I want?" he said as he walked.
"Here, please take a look." Charlene asked the caravan members beside her to open the box, revealing the well-preserved body, but she was not assembled yet, lying on her side in a thick blanket.
The yellowed fingertips gently stroked the shiny and smooth body, and the Viscount-sama showed an intoxicated look on his face.
"Very good, very good."
Immediately, he lifted up and looked at Charlene.
"I said before that I would like to send a tuner to assemble the piano by the Musical Instrument Workshop. Did you bring it?"
"We have discussed this matter with the musical instrument shop, but several masters in the musical instrument shop expressed their reluctance to leave Dragon Wing City. As you know, the southern border has not been peaceful recently..." Shalin carefully considered While listening to her words, Viscount Mo Ruo's brows wrinkled deeper and deeper.
"Fortunately, we still found a person who is able to help you tune and assemble. He is the apprentice of Master Gide. Now he is exquisite and can fulfill your needs." said Charlene Jean The members brought in a young man in his 20s.
The young man wears a dark green headscarf on his head and a light gown. Looking at the slender fingers, it makes people more trustworthy.
Looking at the tuning apprentice for a long time, Viscount Mo Ruo snorted indifferently.
"My patience is limited. You must assemble the piano before the sun goes down today, otherwise you will be at your own risk." After speaking, he left with his back in dissatisfaction.
"Kevin, take a few people to help, try to get them to do it as quickly as possible." His commanding voice came from a distance.
"Yes, my lord." Kevin replied attentively again.
The originally relaxed atmosphere in the castle became awkward and tense.
"It's okay, you can do it for so long in Master Jidd." Miss Charlene had to comfort the young apprentice next to him. Seeing his appearance, she seemed to be frightened by Viscount Moruo's momentum.
After all, they are just ordinary civilians, who dare not imagine the fate of offending a real nobleman.
After explaining, Miss Charlene came over.
"Sorry, Messia. I wanted to take you around here, but now I have to do other things first."
"How about this, I will ask a few companions to arrange a place for you to live in the small town, and take a rest first."
"It's okay, after all, work is important." Lorrainhill shook his head to show that he didn't care, and then walked outside the castle with a few members of the caravan.
As she was about to leave, the girl caught a glimpse of the figure behind the glass window upstairs in the castle. At this time, because of the angle, she could see clearly. That was a girl in a lotus leaf round neck dress, about 20 years old, with white skin and dark golden curly hair.
Is it the daughter of Viscount Moruo, but she doesn't look like him at all. The girl flashed some thoughts, and then walked towards the gravel path on the hillside.
After arriving in this small city, some members of the Roentgen Chamber of Commerce have already rested. They rented a yard dedicated to storing goods and carriages, and many accompanying persons were also arranged here.
"Miss Messia, this is the room arranged for you. What do you think." After getting along these days, most of the caravan members have also known this lady swordsman.
"Yes." Looking at this room on the second floor, although the furnishings are simple, but fortunately it is neat, the girl nodded.
"Then take a rest here first, we will stay for a few more days." The guy from the caravan briefly introduced the itinerary.
After they came here, in addition to handing over the goods, they would also buy some local specialties, and then leave, staying for about a week in the middle.
In this way, Lorrain Hill stayed temporarily, taking advantage of the time of solitude and stability to practice his current extraordinary sequence.
The sky is getting darker, the birds in the forest are singing and flying low, and the setting sun in the distance dyes the leaves among the trees.
A sound of pressing the piano sounded in the forest. Although it was not in rhythm, I pressed each note back and forth several times.
"Is it all right?" Miss Charlene looked at the apprentice who wiped the sweat.
"It should be okay." The apprentice replied somewhat unconfidently. Although there is no problem with it so far, he still dare not pack the ticket.
"There is still a short while before dark, please check again. Viscount Moruo is still very demanding."
"Hmm." Then the apprentice played carefully and watched.
Charlene turned around and looked at the darkening woods around her, feeling that the evening breeze has also become a bit cool.
I really don’t know how Viscount Moruo usually maintains this place. I don’t feel like there are any protective measures. Will there be wild beasts coming over on weekdays?
Charlene thought in her heart, her eyes swept across the ground.
"Ah! Snake, snake, snake!"
Suddenly, a scream of horror sounded in Charlene’s ears. When she turned her head, she saw a long snake the same color as the fallen leaves entangled the apprentice’s ankle, and the snake’s teeth were directly on the thigh. The scene was messy and messy. panic.
The long snake with dead leaves pattern is not big, but the twisted body and the triangular head make people feel hairy.
In response, Charlene couldn't help but step back a few steps, a little flustered for a while.
"What's the matter?" Hearing shouts from the hill behind the castle, the guard captain Kevin rushed out of the castle. He jumped out, ran down the stairs in rapid alternation, and entered this small forest.
Seeing that the apprentice had fallen to the ground and started to twitch, Kevin went up and grabbed the snake's head, pulled it out, and then kept shaking it, throwing the snake on the side of the tree trunk and smashed it down.
Unfortunately, this snake does not seem to be an ordinary creature, but a monster with extraordinary attributes. It twisted on the ground and did not die, but rushed out into the middle of the forest.
"Damn it!" Kevin gave a low voice, his eyes swept sharply, he needed a weapon.
It seems that he suddenly remembered something. He reached out to his waist, and a thumb-long knife was pulled out. Touching the knife, a burst of blue cold light spread on it, and then Kevin held it and rushed towards the fleeing viper.
In a flash, the withered leaf snake was overtaken, and Kevin stretched out his hand to catch it again.
The snake struggling violently as soon as it was held, turned around and bit it with its fangs. It's a pity that Kevin was wearing armor all over, and only a little black smoke came out from his fangs, which did not penetrate. It currently only has Sequence 1, which is not powerful yet.
Holding the snake's body, Kevin directly cut it down with a knife, splitting the snake's body in two, and then cut off the snake's head with a few consecutive knives.
The withered leaf snake, which lost its head, was constantly twisting on the ground. After a long time, it slowly stopped and became only occasionally active. At this time, the woods finally became quiet again.
At night, Lorrain Hill walked out of the room and went downstairs to eat.
When I came to a tavern next to me, there were already many caravans drinking.
"Hi, Miss Hero, you are here too." A crowd of people waved to her and greeted her, which made many local residents also curious.
Because it was not during the war, Lorrain Hill did not wear armor, but simply wore a blue and white dress with a long sword around his waist.
After sitting down, she ordered a few local specialties, and then sat and listened to everyone talking and chatting.
"Have you heard that there seem to be more monsters in the forest recently?"
"It seems like this. A few days ago, when Uncle Mond was patrolling in the mountains, he met a special black wolf. Although it was only Sequence 2, it looked very cunning. After a long time, I saw Mond. Uncle stopped after entering the city~IndoMTL.com~No, when I was passing by the birch forest that day, I heard a terrifying low roar, like two monsters fighting on the other side of the forest. Unfortunately, I didn’t dare to go over and watch it. I don’t know what Warcraft is."
"I remember not being swept by the army the year before, why is there suddenly more?"
"I don't know, maybe it came from other places? I heard that some monsters will expand their territory after they are advanced, and then drive away other monsters in the territory."
"But I haven't heard of any particularly powerful monsters nearby. It's a weird thing. These monsters seem to pop up overnight."
"It is difficult for ordinary beasts to be promoted to Warcraft. It takes too much chance."
"I don't know." A resident shook his head.
"Recently, the Lord Viscount sent an order to tell the residents of the city not to go up the mountain as much as possible. Although it is a kind reminder, it is also quite strange, because this adult usually does not care about the death of outsiders."
"Could it be that what secret treasure was found in the forest?"
"Haha, you have heard a lot about the story of a bard, right." Everyone burst into laughter.
"Forget it, forget it, I heard that the Viscount Lord has released a lot of missions for adventurers and mercenaries to clean up the monsters. There must be nothing shameful in it. I think about it." An alcoholic shook his head, then lowered and took another gulp.
"Come on, I won't be drunk or go home tonight."
In the tavern in the mountain city, there was another lively noise.
I feel that this task is not so easy. Listening to the conversation in the tavern, Lorrain Hill recalled the black bear he met on the road, and the "fire-eyed warbler" assassin who tried to infiltrate and intercept the cargo. Perhaps something special happened in the territory where the Viscount Moruo is located. .
