The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

Chapter 7

Xia Zuoyi slowly opened his eyes, and the bright light was refracted through the cracks in the wattle piled in the hole, allowing him to clearly confirm his current situation.

He saw a young man leaning against the mountain wall with his head hanging down and taking a nap, covering himself with a piece of clothing, and beside him was a slightly worn cowhide water bag.

Obviously, he was saved.

Xia Zoe moved with difficulty, and a slight sound awakened the boy.

The young man quickly grasped the **** with one hand, picked up the stone with the other, first observed the situation outside the cave, and then reacted and turned his head abruptly.

“you’re awake?!”

Xia Zoe nodded: “Well, I want to sit up.”

He was suffering from pain all over his body now, and he was completely unconscious on his right arm.

When he heard the words, Gibran Keno got up and walked over, carefully helping him up.

Xia Zoe: “Thank you for saving me.”

“this is nothing…”

Gibran Keno carefully phrased his words: “Do you remember what happened last night? You seem to have rolled down the hill… Does your body hurt?”

There were many scratches and redness on the white and tender skin of the little nobleman.

It became more and more obvious as the night passed, alternating between blue and purple, and the contrast was strong, which made people feel that a light touch would aggravate the pain.

Xia Zoe said, “I remember, it hurts.”

His face was pale with pain, and his lips lost blood, but he didn’t cry or make trouble, and leaned quietly on the mountain wall.

I don’t know how Udit and the others are, whether it’s safe now…

Trying to ignore the physical discomfort, Xia Zoe began to think about how to deal with the next situation.

Since the main target of the band of robbers was him, they would definitely not give up searching for him before confirming his death and seeing his body.

Xia Zuoyi looked at the boy in front of him and said, “Brother at the market, can you do me a favor?”

He can only ask for help from the young man.

Gibran Keno was startled, and the little nobleman remembered himself.

“How do you think I can help you?”

He said to his heart, the little nobleman’s voice sounded soft and waxy, and his moist, caramel-colored eyes looked more and more cute and cute.

Xia Zoe took out a badge engraved with thorns and roses from his arms and handed it over: “Leave Parr Mountain and go to Wesas to find a patrolling knight to come to rescue.”

The civilians and slaves living in Weissas knew what the emblem of the Desinian family was.

Gibran Keno was shocked by the fact that the little nobleman turned out to be the Earl of Desinia.

After a while, he took the badge and held it tightly, and finally found his voice and asked: “But you…what do you do, Lord Earl?”

Xia Zoe: “I will stay here and wait for you to come back.”

If you take him along with you, it will undoubtedly affect the speed of the teenager’s appeal for help. Besides, if you separate from him, the teenager is safe.

Gibran Keno: “You believe me?”

“I believe you, you saved me.”

Gibran Keno: “It’s about 3,100 feet from here to Wess. I will be back in two hourglasses.”

“Don’t be afraid, I will definitely bring the knight to rescue you.”

After speaking, he turned and left quickly.

The most commonly used timing tool on the Western Continent is the hourglass or water sundial.

The other is a self-ringing bell driven by a heavy hammer. It is large and cannot be moved. It is usually placed in the center of a big city and is expensive to build. It is not available in rural areas like Wessas.

Xia Zoe was a little surprised that the teenager could roughly accurately tell the distance between Parr Mountain and Weissas and the time it took to go back and forth.

It seems that he is very familiar with the terrain and position of Parr Mountain.

Before leaving, the boy carefully covered the hole, the light in the hole was slightly dim, but it did not hinder his vision.

Xia Zuoyi squeezed his right arm lightly to confirm the position of the dislocation, borrowing the reaction force of the mountain wall-“cock”, the joint reset.

He used to, no, it should be said that his previous job was to record the documentary video director of survival in the wild. Of course, the “actor” who appeared in the documentary was also him.

He travels all the year round, going up the mountains and down the sea at home and abroad, and surviving in the wilderness is a daily routine.

Injuries are common. Dislocations are the mildest. The most serious one was being bitten by a poisonous snake and almost died. Fortunately, he was out of danger because of timely treatment.

Finally, when returning home to receive the award, he was hit and killed by a car while saving a man.

After Xia Zoe rested on the mountain wall for a while, he checked the prestige points accumulated during this time, which totaled 28 points.

He opened the white building icon and searched for the key word “Chinese herbal medicine”. Among the listed books, he exchanged a copy of “Chinese Herbal Medicine Pictures and Detailed Explanations” for the time being.

The rest of the books are “Chinese Herbal Medicine Formula”, “Chinese Herbal Medicine Ointment Encyclopedia”… there are probably more than 20 books listed.

Studying medicine can save lives.

In the future, he can become a qualified alchemist with real materials.

At least he can’t let the doctors of this era use hammers and drills to move his brain, use leeches to **** his own blood, enemas for minor illnesses, amputation and fumigation for serious illnesses, and pray for repentance and drink holy water when he is not sick.

Improving medical conditions must be focused on infrastructure plans.

“Bless the creation god, Lord Earl will be fine.” Kelly prayed.

After Xia Zoe rolled down the hill, Fernandi Edward led the remaining knights out of the encirclement, taking advantage of the darkness to dodge the chase of the “robbers”.

Be alert to the other party’s search all night.

They tried to secretly return to the original place and searched for the trail of Lord Earl along the hillside, but first found Kelly who was unconscious.

It was bright now, and Xia Zoe was still missing.

Udit was anxious.

“Is there no way to go down the mountain to Visas for help?”

The knight who had been investigating the situation before shook his head: “That group of bandits is currently blocking the mountain road to Wessas. If they want to go down the mountain, they can only fight head-on with the opponent and force a breakthrough, but the opponent has more people than us…”

And they now have half of the casualties, and their combat effectiveness is insufficient.

The knight thought of this and glanced at Fernandi Edward in a complicated manner. He didn’t expect a slave to lead them to life.

Judith: “What about other methods?”

Knight said: “Turn back.”

“Climb over from another mountain road, but in this way, it will take too long, and the situation of Lord Earl may be even more dangerous…”

“More importantly, the patrol knights guarding Wess can only be moved with a badge engraved with the Rose of Thorns.”

Udit’s hair is scattered, his spirit is tense, his clothes are stained with blood, and his impatient and worried mood makes his eyes red and dry.

After a while, he asked: “How sure are you to force a breakthrough?”

The knight glanced at Fernandi Edward.

Judith also turned to look at him.

Fernandi Edward leaned silently next to the tree, and there were a lot of dried-up blood on the big sword in his hand.

He whispered hoarsely: “Less than 40%, it was lucky to be able to break through yesterday.”

“The strength of the enemy is very different. Moreover, their purpose is not to make money, but to kill us all in Parr. They came prepared.”

The dull atmosphere is spreading.

At this moment, the knight who was monitoring the robber’s movement suddenly ran back and shouted.

“Someone came to the rescue with a patrol knight!”

In the cave.

Xia Zoe folded the jacket left by the boy, and put the cowhide water bag next to it.

He checked the injuries on his body and found that most of them were red, swollen and bruised, and he would recover after a few days of rest. Only the dislocated right arm took about a month to lift up.

Time passed for a long time.

Xia Zoe moved to a position very close to the entrance of the cave, watching the sun in the sky almost rise to the center.

I don’t know if the boy arrived in Wesas smoothly and found the patrol knight…

“Where did you say that kid was hiding? I didn’t find it all night.”

“Who knows, stop talking nonsense. The mission is not completed this time, do you want to go back and receive the penalty?”

Suddenly there was the voice of two men talking outside.

Suddenly, Xia Zoe held his breath, pressed his lips tightly and picked up the boy’s **** at the entrance of the hole.

“Of course I don’t… wait, do you see if there is a cave there?” A man with a black cloth mask pointed his sword at where Xia Zoe was hiding.

The front of the cave is full of messy tall wattle grasses. It is pitch black inside, and there is a tree next to it. If you don’t pay attention to it, you will really be ignored.

“It seems to be… go, go and take a look.”

…

Xia Zoe’s heart beats fiercely.

The two men got closer and closer, and when the scimitar was about to cut off the wattle, a sword slammed and pierced a man’s chest from behind.

All of a sudden, blood splattered.

The other person was shocked, and immediately wanted to plunge into the cave quickly.

But Fernandi Edward leaped like a lion, his sword’s attack was unstoppable, and a few strokes killed people in front of the cave entrance.

Gibran Keno successfully brought in the patrol knights, and happened to meet the bandits blocking the mountain road “on a narrow road”.

Fernandi Edward and others united with the patrol knights he brought to eradicate robbers.

I wanted to leave one or two alive to be interrogated later, but seeing that the situation was not right, the remaining robbers took the opportunity to kill each other.

Afterwards, Gibran Keno brought them here.

“My Lord Earl!” Udit could not restrain his excitement and yelled worriedly.

The wattle covering the entrance of the cave was slowly pulled away.

A small figure walked out, the white shirt with a lotus leaf collar was already messy, covered with grass and dirt, and damaged in many places, as did the little black shorts.

The “horrible state” of Xia Zoe’s exposed white and tender arms and calves made Udite’s nose sore.

He walked over and knelt down on one knee: “My Lord Earl, how are you?”

Xia Zoe: “I have nothing to worry about, Udit.”

Udit lowered his head and gently held Xia Zoe’s small hand to his forehead: “Earl, please don’t push me away from now on, your safety is more important than my life…”

He only wanted to offer a loyalty at first, but at this moment and even later, he can dedicate his life to Shazoe Desinia.

The soft little hand suddenly left his palm and pressed it on his head in a moment of shock.

“But I hope you can always be my housekeeper.”

For a long time, Udit said: “As you wish, my lord, I will.”

Before returning to the castle.

Xia Zoe asked Gibran Keno what reward he wanted.

Gibran Keno licked his dry lips: “…anything will do?”

Xia Zoe: “Yes.”

“Can I be your footman?”

Gibran Keno wanted a stable life, and he wanted to stop worrying about food and clothes for himself and his brother.

Xia Zoe: “If your family agrees…”

“I only have one brother, my lord.”

Xia Zoe nodded: “You can bring your brother to the castle.”

Gibran Keno immediately rejoiced: “Thank you! Lord Earl!”

Xia Zoe asked a knight to follow Gibran Keno back to pack his things.

They return to the castle first.

The Lord Earl went out nicely, but returned with injuries. The poor appearance scared the servants.

Not to mention the wounds and deaths of the craftsmen and knights who followed.

Xia Zoe made people gather the corpses of craftsmen and knights, settled the injured and gave them or their families generous compensation.

After all matters are settled.

Fernandi Edward was called into the study.

Xia Zoe: “What do you think of the identity of the attacker?”

Fernandi Edward: “They are not like robbers, they are more like a group of well-trained knights.”

The old earl Matt Desinia stayed in the castle and was obsessed with alchemy. He seldom visited Wess, and it was impossible for him to provoke any enemies.

A group of knights disguised as robbers, and the time when they attacked them happened to be when he offered the king the salt water method…it can’t be such a coincidence.

Xia Zoe said: “Udit, is the territory of Bivis Elliott directly entrusted by the king?”

Udit was taken aback, and immediately reacted: “No, Lord Earl, Lord Beavis Eliot’s superior is Duke Bath Riches, you suspect…”

Xia Zoe: “It’s not a doubt.”

“I can now be sure that Buss Ridges is interested. Fort Comoy and Weissas are adjacent to Parr Mountain. What’s more convenient than letting the leader of Fort Comoy be?”

The Earl of Desinia was robbed of money by a group of robbers on his way back to his territory, and unfortunately died.

With no lord and no other heir, Visas will be taken back by the king.

However, the salt drying in the sea water still has to continue, and the most likely possibility is to entrust Wess to other people again.

Needless to say who this person is.

The old king relied on the Duke of Bath Ridges the most.

It is a pity that even if the truth of the matter is analyzed, in the absence of evidence, they cannot accuse an earl or even a duke.

Can only swallow this bad breath first.

But it is not too late for a gentleman to avenge for ten years, and a villain to avenge from morning to night.

He is neither a gentleman nor a villain, so he takes a middle value and first finds a way to avenge the Earl Bevis Eliot.

And Komoy Castle is his next target to light up.

Xia Zoe: “Fernandi Edward, do you want to be free from slavery?”

Fernandi Edward raised his head swiftly, his eyes flickering unceasingly, and muttered for a long time: “…I think.”

Xia Zuoyi: “You have contributed to saving me, but I am not clear about your previous affairs. I hope you can tell the truth and don’t hide it.”

Fernandi Edward was silent longer this time.

Xia Zoe waited patiently.

He finally said: “As you know, I am a Guynar, and Bruno Green, a Marquis lord who was loyal to the Guynar Kingdom.”

“I have a sister who is dependent on each other. She is very beautiful and kind. She will wait for my return at home every day, but when I was fighting outside once, she was brutally killed by the lord’s brother…”

“The last thing I saw… was the mutilated body of my sister.”

“You know what happened next.”

He should have been executed.

But the lord forgave him by thinking about his old feelings.

Xia Zoe asked softly: “Do you regret it?”

“I have no regrets. The knight fought for justice to fight injustice and evil, bravely faced powerful enemies, and unreservedly confronted sinners. I did not violate the spirit of chivalry.”

But for his sister, he betrayed his loyal lord.

Xia Zoe: “I don’t think it is wrong for you to kill the lord’s brother.”

“But suppose the person who killed your sister is the lord? Will you still avenge it?”

Which one would you choose for family love and loyalty?

Fernandi Edward looked at Xia Zoe suddenly.

He said hoarsely: “I will take revenge.”

“After revenge, I will commit suicide.”

Let the devil take away his soul, even if he can’t meet his sister.

The study was quiet for a while.

Xia Zoe: “After leaving your status as a slave, do you want to be a knight again?”

Fernandi Edward’s pupils quivered.
