After a while, Bardo drove the bullock cart and came to the door.
Lorraine came out of the room, looked up, and was taken aback.
I saw a large crowd of people gathered at the door, obviously they also knew the news of the dragon attack. Everyone's face was gloomy, and they were all worried.
The old village chief walked out of the crowd with a cane, shaking slightly.
He smiled reluctantly and said, "Master, you..."
Lorraine waved his hand and said: "Needless to say, it is the responsibility of the earl to guard the safety of the territory and residents. There is a saying: Even if a chicken in the village is captured by a fox, the lord should also take responsibility. "
Hearing this, the old village chief looked at Lorraine in a daze for a long time, and finally sighed, "Okay, okay, okay. Fight for justice and justice, and fight against injustice and evil in the world. Even if you sacrifice your life, you will not hesitate, this This is the true character of the noble Flynn family."
He reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then said: "I don't say anything else, but Sir, if it is useful to our place, please let me know. There are no other things in the village, but there are still a large group of great boys. Yes. Let them all accompany you. When the time comes, we will fight, so we can take care of them."
Lorraine looked up and glanced behind him, and saw dozens of young and strong boys standing behind the old village chief, holding weapons such as pitchforks, wooden sticks, and kitchen knives in their hands.
When I thought that I was going to slay the dragon with this obviously brain-disabled Lord Earl, and achieve a legend of great cause, many of them were excited or scared, and their whole bodies shivered.
But none of them took a step back~!
Although they knew that they would never come back, none of them took a step back, and instead clenched their weapons. Because they clearly know that they are doing this to defend their parents, wives and children, and to protect their homes from being ravaged by the dragon.
Lorraine looked at everyone, the years of hard work made them dark, and their hands were also covered with calluses. He couldn't help but waved his hand with a wry smile, and said: "Let's go away, why are you doing it."
The old village chief was taken aback, his eyes flushed, and he shouted angrily: "Master, what do you mean? Do you look down on us?"
Lorraine sighed and said, "Old village chief, it's not that I underestimated them. You also understand my difficulties. So many people, go to me, don't wait for the dragon to come and ask for money. Just take care of the food, let the young master and me I went bankrupt."
The old village chief grinned awkwardly, and said, "Master, when this is all, don't play."
Lorraine said seriously: "This is not for fun, I mean it. You look back, do they use swords, guns, bows and arrows? This is not about participating in a wheat-cutting competition, but going to slay dragons. Can win?"
Lorraine smiled and said, "It's nothing, don't worry. It's just to kill the dragon, it's not a big deal. I'll do it alone."
"Really?" Seeing Lorraine's self-confidence, the old village chief couldn't help but wonder. Muttered: "Then...Master, can you tell me what are you going to do? Let me rest assured."
Lorraine smiled, then leaned over the old village chief's ear and said softly: "I tell you, don't tell anyone. This is my personal top secret. I have never told anyone."
The old village chief couldn't help being surprised. When he thought that the young master had even told him his personal secrets, he couldn't help but feel relieved. The wrinkles on his face were pinched into a flower with a smile, and he kept saying: "Yes, yes, yes. I will never tell anyone. Master, you say, you say."
Lorraine coughed slightly, and then said blan kly: "Master, I have a secret weapon. I can kill dragons easily."
After speaking, he turned around and jumped into the bullock cart, patted Bardo on the shoulder, and said, "Baldo, leave soon."
Bardo did not dare to neglect, he hurriedly agreed, and then with a wave of his whip, he drove the bullock cart forward.
The old village chief took two steps, followed the bullock cart, and said in a whimper, "Master, master. Don't you have anything to ask us to do? Even a little bit is fine."
Lorraine tilted his head and thought, motioned Bardo to stop the car, and then said to the old village chief: "There is a request."
The old village chief hurriedly said: "Well, say it, you say it quickly. No matter what it is, we will do it."
Lorraine turned his head, looked at the people seriously, and said in a heartfelt tone: "From now on, when everyone pays me rent, don't think about pitfalls. Don't fool me with rotten grains. You eat too much of those things. It hurts my stomach really."
Everyone is in shock. They all expressed their expressions with their ears and ears: "Don't worry, Master, don't worry, Master. From now on, we will never fool you again."
"You can't say that either." Lorraine sighed, and said, "If the tax collectors come in the future, everyone should cheat or cheat. If you cry poor, you have to cry likewise. Don't we have to live our life?"
After hearing what Lorraine said, everyone felt that it was really in their own minds. They said, "Yes, yes, yes. Master, you are right."
Flynburg is located on the bank of a river, all made of rough black stone. The river channel was in the shape of a huge zigzag, bypassing the castle, almost surrounding the entire castle, forming a natural moat.
It is said that this castle was built after the Flynn family was demoted here to guard against bandits. But even so, it has many years of history. Many places on the surface of the boulder on the castle have been weathered. Even the Flynn family emblem carved on the front wall is mottled and full of historical vicissitudes.
Because the owner of the year still dreamed ambitiously to return to the prosperous sunset city at the beginning, and did not pay much attention to it, so the castle was very simple when it was built.
The subsequent generations of owners also gave up renovation and decoration because they gradually declined and had no money in their hands. It has been passed down from generation to generation. During the walking, even inadvertently, you can see the monuments left over hundreds of years ago.
Although it cannot be said to be ventilated on all sides, it is at best a defensive military fortress and not very suitable for living. When it rains, the castle becomes extremely humid.
Lorraine and Bardo drove the bullock cart and returned to their castle.
The fire in the castle has been extinguished, but the charred wood still emits puffs of blue smoke from time to time, revealing a desolate scene.
Lorraine glanced briefly and found that although it looked miserable, it only burned a broken horse box, and the loss was not large. And no one was hurt, and he immediately let go of his heart.
He patted his chest in relief, and said in his heart: It is a great blessing in misfortune to not have to pay for medical expenses out of his thin wallet.
He comforted everyone a few words, and then directed a dozen people in the castle to clean up the endgame.
While working, he sighed for his life. At any rate, he was a tasteful nobleman, but he didn't have time to wander about.
Hard work, this is the life of the poor. Even if the dragon comes, so what? As long as the sun will rise tomorrow, and the world will not be destroyed, everyone will have to live, and they will have to live, clothe and eat.
Although the matter was not big, it was extremely trivial. Lorraine was busy until dusk before finishing his work.
He returned to his room exhausted, before catching a breath. At this moment, Thomas knocked on the door and walked in.
He came to Lorraine's side and hesitated, but to make sure that the young earl was not impulsive. Finally, he asked softly: "Master, are you really going to kill the dragon?"
Lorraine gave him a stunned look and said, "Thomas, why is your memory so bad now? I just said it at noon, have you forgotten it? I think it is necessary for me to think about it, should I change to a housekeeper? Up."
Thomas twitched his mouth a few times and said calmly, "No, master. My memory has always been very good. For example, when you said on the 13th of last month, you said you would take a day off every five days you worked, but I have never seen you implement it. At the beginning of this month, you said that you would give us processing capital, but so far, I haven't seen a copper coin. And..."
Lorraine shivered, raised his arm hurriedly, looked at his bare wrist, pretending to be wearing a Rolex watch, and said, "Oh, it's so late. It's almost time for dinner, right? Hahaha... …"
Thomas smiled slightly, and then continued: "There is a proverb: The reason why a wise man is a wise man is because of his important decisions. He must be asked three times. Master, I will ask one last time. Are you sure you really want to go? Slaughter the dragon?"
Lorraine sighed and said, "Of course this is true. Master, when did I tell lies."
Thomas bowed and said calmly: "Master, since you have decided to go to slaying dragons, I have already prepared some things, do you think it suits you?"
