Law of the Devil

Chapter 17 [Three hundred gold coins]

At dawn, the old butler Hill personally came to the study room with a breakfast cart. When he pushed the door in, he saw that the family’s young master was standing on the stairs in front of the bookshelf, holding a thick hand. Thick astrology books are in the look.

It seems that this young master seems to have not slept overnight, although his face is slightly tired, but the spirit seems to be good. It’s just that his body seems to be too dirty... Did he roll in those books one night yesterday?

Also, a short sword on the wall was picked up by him and placed on the desk... Hey, that is the antique that the ancestors used.

The old housekeeper sighed and immediately summoned the person to groom the young master.

After eating breakfast, Du Wei stretched out: "Is the people I came from the emperor settled last night?"

"Of course, they live behind the castle. Your guards, according to family management, are incorporated into the castle's escorts... I am taking the liberty, respected young master, you seem to have recruited a knight on the road. And it was still a female knight. I originally wanted to arrange the knight to rest in the castle, but she refused... because you brought a prisoner from the road. The prisoner didn’t know where to offend you, I Already arranged to be in the dungeon of the castle, last night, the female knight and her sister-in-law lived in the dungeon room."

"Very good." Du Wei sighed: "So, what do I need to do during the day... Continue to look at these accounts? I think if you read this, it will take at least three or four days... that would be too boring, Hill, I have to find something to do."

Three or four days? It will be good if you can read it in ten days.

The old housekeeper’s belly is still dark, but his face is still respectful: “Yes. You are the master here. All the people in the castle are your servants. Here, your will will be reflected the most. As for these accounts You don't have to worry about reading them immediately. Anyway, these are the accounts of the past year. I think that if you have time in the future, you can squeeze out a little precious time to pick one in the family industry. Two places to patrol. Perhaps more useful than watching these boring books."

Du Wei smiled and he raised an eyebrow: "Good advice, Hill, good advice! So what am I doing today? Here... Is there any show?"

"Oh..." The old housekeeper said: "You know, the prosperity of this place is incomparable with the emperor. The nearest town is only a day away from the castle. Even in the castle, There is nothing to kill time on weekdays, but the surrounding scenery is not bad. If you are interested, you can ride a horse and take your knights to the woods for hunting. Although there is no prey in this season, but go out It is also a good choice to stroll."

Du Wei nodded. He took the black tea in front of him and took a sip. Then he suddenly moved: "The guy I grabbed... No problem? I mean, I have the power here..."

"You mean law enforcement rights? My God... Young Master, here is the Luolin Plain! The entire plain belongs to the Rollin family! Here, as long as you don't do rebel empire, then in addition, Luo Linjia The will is the law! And you, now the highest identity of the Rollin family in this castle."

"Okay." Du Wei stood up, and a maid next to him immediately came over with a long leather coat. He wanted to wear it for Du Wei. Du Wei glanced at the animal that didn't know what animal skin was. Shake his head: "The weather is still so warm, don't wear these... Oh, yes, Hill, I need one or two followers around me. I like to use people I know, um... let Mard come over, I I still like him to follow me. As for the others, have you put the 20 knights I brought from the emperor into the castle's guards? So good, I will take some time to look at them today, by the way. Check out the warriors of the Castle Guard. Hey... The last thing, my childhood teacher, was a famous astrologer, the famous old scholar Mr. Rosiat, under his guidance, I was against the astrology. I am very interested in learning. During the time I live in the castle, I want to use the room on the top of the White Tower."

"White Tower... Top..." The old housekeeper opened his mouth and his face showed a difficult color: "This... young master, I am afraid you don't know, there is always a ban in the family. Except for the patriarch, no one is allowed to board. On the white tower."

“Oh?” Du Wei’s eyes lit up: “Is that the case?”

He has no intention of frustration, but he has some expectations in his heart... Well, since it is a forbidden place, is it true that Semel’s relics are left behind? Maybe there is still something to discover.

As for... don't let it in? No, I will not sneak up?

"Okay. Then, I have a few things, you need to send someone to buy me a meeting." Du Wei finished, took a quill from the table, quickly brushed on a piece of paper I wrote a few things.

These are some of the things that he came up with last night to study the astrology needs.

Do you need at least one telescope to study astrology? And it is better to be an astronomical telescope. However, this thing is not available in this world. It seems that you still need to make it.

This kind of thing, such as glass, is available in the world. The mirrors here are of a high standard. I have to study it a little bit, so I can make a rough telescope.

In fact... Hey, in this world, the use of telescopes is actually very small, because this kind of thing is mainly used for military combat purposes. But in this world, there is magic! The magician's blessing of an "eagle eye" is far better than a telescope.

Hey, magic, magic! It seems that I still have to think of a way to learn magic.

Thinking of this, Du Wei stood up immediately: "It seems that today I need to take some time to go out to the dungeon to see my prisoner."

Du Wei came out of the study, and soon the old housekeeper invited Mr. Mad in accordance with Du Wei’s instructions.

The former groom, looked a little depressed. Because he was the "master of the generals" all the way, and commanded twenty cavalry on the road, that feeling is still very cool. But as soon as they arrived at the castle, the **** cavalry was immediately incorporated into the castle escort, stationed in a small military camp on the left side of the castle. And his "master" became a light pole commander.

Hanging the name of a general manager, but not even one of his men.

The old butler here seems to be the veteran of the Luolin family. How can he dare to divide his power? After a night of sleep in the room, Mad had some worries about his future... The little master didn’t let himself wait last night, he wouldn’t forget me?

Therefore, I heard Du Wei’s call early in the morning. Mard immediately flew and came over. He was in a hurry, and he was dissatisfied with the old butler of the instrument, but Mad didn’t care. When I ran to the castle hall and saw Du Wei standing there, Mad quickly went up, and I couldn’t wait to get up and hold Du Wei.

"Oh, my master, I am your faithful servant, Mad. What do you have to say?"

Du Wei saw that Mad had something to look like. After all, now in this place, only Mad can be his own confidant, other people... Well, that Ruolin is barely half-baked.

Du Wei did not bother to immediately see the magician in the dungeon, but first ordered: From today, without his orders, no one can enter the study!

For this strange order, the old housekeeper did what he said.

Then Du Wei took the man to the military camp outside the castle. There were 300 private troops of the Luolin family. One hundred were cavalry and 20 were formed. They were formed into five cavalry squads, which were rotated around the castle every day. patrol. Du Wei’s 20 guards from the Imperial Capital were just compiled into the sixth squad. These people changed their equipment in the military camp and immediately ushered in Du Wei.

Du Wei had already had a conversation with Mard on the way, and then let Mader come out and pick six people as their own relatives. These six people are all observed by Mad, and they feel that they are still loyal and do things. Also more kind of duty. The six cavalry immediately said nothing, took off the armor of the body and put it on the light, and bid farewell to the military camp.

Their colleagues looked at these people with envious expressions... Hey, after all, is by the master, maybe one day, the owner will look pleasing to the eye, there is a chance to promote.

I have to say that I left the oppressed Earl's House of the Imperial City and came to the castle of the Luolin family territory. Life is still quite cool.

At least here, Du Wei is the highest-ranking person, and the life of this aristocrat is also very good. When going out, a servant immediately brought in a meek horse, and the saddle and the halter were the finest fine goods. I heard that in order to please Du Wei, this horse was chosen by Mard himself. The predecessor’s vision of a horse is still quite good.

In the morning, Du Wei took two entourage walks in the woods outside the castle for two laps, and finally he chose a place.

At the edge of the woods, a little further from the castle, there is a small stream that is a tributary of the tributary of the Emerald River (Lolin River). The water flow was gentle, and the surrounding area was inspected, and there were no traces of large beasts. Du Wei immediately decided that he would build a wooden house here.

This will be his first magic lab - although he is not a magician now, and is considered a talent for learning magic, Du Wei is not worried about this.

There will always be a way.

After the location of the record, Du Wei took the man around and looked around.

The act of this young master seems to be very weird.

In this morning, in addition to visiting the surrounding woods, he was looking for a servant in the castle to chat. And the first person he met was actually the gardener and gardener in the castle!

Then the young master opened a list, let the gardener and the gardener prepare some strange flowers and plants according to the contents of the list. The list quickly fell into the hands of the old housekeeper Hill. He did not say anything and immediately did.

At the end of the night, Du Wei finally got idle and had time to go to the dungeon to meet the prisoner.

Presumably after two days and two nights of torture, the magician should also suffer enough. See if he is willing to give in?

Du Wei was confident to bring people back to the castle, but the first one to come to him was the old housekeeper Hill.

"Young Master, there are a few lists that you have issued today, everything you need to purchase, I have already sent people to complete."

“So fast?” Du Wei was a little happy when he was satisfied.

"Of course, this is the territory of Luolin's family. Your order is our vocation. After the order is given to you, I immediately sent people to the surrounding towns to buy. Now things are already going. The way back is back. But there is a small problem..."

"what?"

"Your money is probably not enough." The housekeeper answered quietly.

"..." Du Wei is a little surprised: "money?"

"This is the case." The old butler's face was calm, but this calm expression and calm tone, but Du Wei could not help but be annoyed. Because this old housekeeper's eyes clearly have some hidden gloating: "Young Master, because you have not yet grown up, so the patriarch made the rules, in addition to your daily cost of wearing, you can take 300 from the family every month. The money of gold coins is your cost. There are only three hundred gold coins per month. This is the amount of money you can use. If it is exceeded, it must be deducted from the money of the next month."

"..." Du Wei has some words that can't be said.

money? Du Wei did not expect that the eldest son of a distinguished Earl, would actually have problems for such a small amount of money?

The old butler quickly took a one-eyed lens from his arms and put it on his left eye. Then he took out the list that Du Wei opened today: "The top four crystals, twenty glass mirrors, one furnace , stone coal half car. Gardener, you buy a generation of golden scales seeds, the seeds of a generation of arrow orchids, and a large bottle of black rose rose pollen... In addition to a set of the best floral tools. Gardener, You bought two tiger skins, one hundred clover, and..."

The old butler quickly finished reading the list, and then slowly said: "To buy these things, you spent a total of about 420 gold coins. That is, you not only spent the month's quota, even the next month. The money has been withdrawn in advance... And, I also heard that you are planning to build a wooden house by the stream outside the forest. I have already made a calculation, if I build a two-story wooden building that is not too complicated. I guess I still need to spend three hundred gold coins, as well as the furnishings in the wooden houses you requested, furniture... I have to spend about two hundred gold coins. So I am afraid that you have used all of the next four months. Money."

Du Wei was speechless.

He realized that he was afraid of miscalculation!

money!

The eldest son of the imperial count, there will be no money!

But those flowers and plants are all necessary. Those are some of the most basic raw materials that Du Wei has to study magic pharmacy.

Du Wei looked at the old housekeeper, and he sank his face: "Is it? You said, I, the eldest son of the father, who is responsible for guarding the family territory industry, can only use 300 gold coins per month? I Didn't you miss it?"

The attitude of the old butler is still very respectful: "Yes, this is the rule, which is said by the patriarch's personal letter. Although the family industry has tens of thousands of gold coins per month, you have to know... those are public funds. You are not yet an adult, you have not got your own title, and you don’t have your own territory yet, so..."

"So, I only have three hundred gold coins per month, right?" Du Wei was very cold, then he waved his hand: "Okay, I know, in the next few months, I am afraid I can’t just Buy something, right?"

"I am sorry, this is the order of the Earl of the Lord. You can only withdraw up to three months in advance."

The old steward saw the dissatisfaction of the little master, and he immediately resigned.

After the old butler retired, Du Wei looked at the side of Mad, and Mad immediately cautiously said: "Young Master... I have the thousand gold coins that you have kept me in custody. These are the emperors before the emperor. Madame will give you."

Du Wei sighed: "Hey, I was strange at the beginning, why did my mother secretly give me such a sum of money... Now I know... Hey, it seems that my father is worried that my idiot will be in the family territory. I am worried that I will ruin my ancestral business, so I just gave me the name of a guard, but I will not let me use the money here."

"This...we can save some expenses. In fact, there are already a lot of three hundred gold coins a month..." Madele said that he closed his mouth consciously because the little master was thinking.

"... well, in this case, we will find a way to get some money out." After a short period of unhappiness, Du Wei immediately wanted to open it... Anyway, Semel gave himself the secret way, that as a blind eye Behind the gate, isn't there still a lot of treasure? If it doesn't work, use the money there.

It’s just... It seems that the day of the match is not as free and liberating as I imagined.

"Go, go to the dungeon to see." Du Wei waved his hand and said faintly: "I hope that the magician will not reject me today. Now my mood can be very bad!"
