Chapter 889: Viscount Moreau

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 climbing 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 kind of

pleasing beauty.

On the edge of the high mountain near the west, 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, and

still retains its past style. A few soldiers patrolled in the castle's

watchtower, overlooking the small city and the wilderness below.

Lorrain Hill followed the convoy into the city. After some inspections 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

the steel mask, revealing a slightly handsome face.

"This is the captain of the castle's guard, Kevin, an old acquaintance."

Charlene introduced to Lorrain Hill next to her.

"Hello, beautiful Miss 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 arm-armored hand, and shook

briefly.

"Is this Miss Charlene's new partner? It's very strong." Kevin probably has

the strength of Sequence 4, and he is also a small master in the surrounding

area. 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 recently received. In this peaceful

place, there seemed to be a lot of traces of Warcraft recently.

"Forget it, I don't understand it for the time being, I'll talk to Master

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.

"Together with the sound 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 in accordance with Master Moruo's request. Incidentally, we

hired a tuning apprentice to test and assemble this piano." Miss Sha Lin said.

No problem, they brought what the Viscount Lord wanted.

"However, the other goods ordered by the Lord Viscount, such as fruits,

drinks, and fabrics, have lost a lot on the road. The black bear caused a lot

of damage to the carriage."

"These are not big problems. Believe me, Lord Moruo is more concerned about

whether the piano is in good condition. As long as Miss Charlene delivers the

piano, the adults can score more than seven points satisfied." Kevin said

openly, and then greeted the maid in the castle. Go and notify the

housekeeper.

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, and you all rest here for a while."

"Jasmine, go to the kitchen and prepare some water for everyone. I must be

thirsty."

"Yes, my lord." A young maid nodded in salute, and then walked back in small

steps.

After a few chats, the butler returned to the interior of 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.

Lorrain 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.

From the inside of the castle, there are a little moss on the stone brick

wall, and some places still have rust traces that water often flows through.

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.

Looking up along the wall, one 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 time, a female face poked out from behind the window and looked down

quietly. After a while, she retreated 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 saluted respectfully, acting like a dedicated guard.

When the girl heard the sound, she turned her gaze, and a little old man in a

black dress and leather shoes appeared in her sight. He seemed to be about

fifty years old and only about 1.5 meters tall, with a bright beard on his

chin.

Regarding Kevin's greeting, the Viscount Lord didn't care. He simply waved his

hand and walked down the steps to the box placed on the open space.

"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."

Immediately, he lifted up and looked at Charlene.

"I said earlier that I would like to send a tuner to assemble the piano from

the Musical Instrument Workshop. Did you bring it?"

"We have discussed this matter with the Musical Instrument Workshop, but

several masters in the Musical Instrument Workshop expressed their reluctance

to leave Dragon Wing City. As you know, the southern border has not been

peaceful recently..." Shalin carefully considered her language. And listening

to her words, Viscount Mo Ruo's brows frowned 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 in

craftsmanship and can fulfill your needs." Said Sharin and asked the members

to pull in. A young man in his 20s.

The young man was wearing a dark green headscarf and a light gown. Looking at

the slender fingers, it was a little more trusting.

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, you 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 in Master Jidd for so long." Miss Charlene had to

comfort the young apprentice next to her. Seeing his appearance, she seemed to

be frightened by Viscount Mo Ruo's momentum.

After all, they are just ordinary civilians, who dare not imagine the fate of

offending a real nobleman.

After an explanation, 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." Lorrain Hill shook his head to show

that he didn't care, and then walked out of the castle with a few caravan

members.

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, she could see clearly

because of the angle. 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

Miss Swordsman.

"Yes." Looking at this room on the second floor, although the furnishings are

simple, but fortunately it is also 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 arrive here, in addition to handing over the goods, they will 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 gradually darkened, the birds in the forest sang and flew low, and the

setting sun in the distance dyed the leaves among the trees.

A burst of pressing piano notes sounded in the forest. Although it was not in

rhythm, each note was pressed 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. Even

though there was nothing wrong with it so far, he still didn't dare to pack

the ticket.

"There is still a short while before dark, please check again. Viscount Moruo

is still very demanding."

"Yeah." Then the apprentice carefully played and observed.

Charlene turned around and looked at the darkening woods around her, feeling

that the evening breeze had also become a bit cool.

I really don't know how Viscount Moruo usually maintains this place. I feel

that there is no protective measure. Will there be wild beasts coming over?

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 with the same color as a fallen leaf entangled the

apprentice's ankle, and the snake's teeth bit directly on the thigh. The scene

was messy and panicked.

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 a shout 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.

It is a pity that this snake is not 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.

As if suddenly remembering something, he stretched out his hand 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.

After holding the snake's body, Kevin directly cut it down with a knife,

dividing the snake's body in two, and then cutting off the snake's head with a

few consecutive knives.

The withered leaf snake that had lost its head was constantly twisting on the

ground, and then slowly stopped after a long time, becoming 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 it, 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 went to patrol the

mountains, he met a special black wolf. Although it was only Sequence 2, it

looked very cunning. After a long time, I saw Uncle Mond enter the city. Just

stopped. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"

"No, when I was passing by the birch forest that day, I heard a terrible low

roar, like two monsters fighting on the other side of the forest. It's a pity

that I was timid and didn't dare to look at it. I still didn't know what it

was."

"I remember not being cleaned up 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 beasts will

expand their territory after they are advanced, and then drive away other

beasts in the territory."

"But I haven't heard of any particularly powerful monsters nearby. It's really

strange. These monsters seem to pop up overnight."

"It's difficult for ordinary beasts to be promoted to Beasts. 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 doesn't care about the

death of outsiders."

"Could it be that some 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 have been thinking about it." The drinker He

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 simple. Listening to the talk 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 was

located. .
