The Black Castle was built as a military fortress with thick walls and few and small windows, so the light inside the castle was not good. Victor followed the old butler, who was equally meticulous in his clothing and gait, as he walked down the long corridor.

Thick tallow candles have been lit on the walls, and the figures are swaying and dancing under the candlelight, giving people an eerie feeling.

"Dong dong dong" the sound of neat footsteps came from not far away. Victor's pupils shrank slightly when he saw a group of sturdy guards coming towards him.

The shortest of these soldiers was over 180 centimeters tall. They were all covered in heavy chain mail, holding a fine steel halberd in one hand and carrying a round shield made of solid wood and wrapped in metal.

These heavily armed soldiers passed by Victor and the old housekeeper without looking sideways. They should be a group of castle guards going to change defenses.

Victor made a visual inspection and found that the mail armor worn by these guards alone weighed about 50 kilograms. In addition to the metal halberd held in one hand, a round shield and other equipment such as helmets, the weight of these soldiers was estimated to be around 50 kilograms.

It weighs more than 80 kilograms, but seeing how unconcerned these soldiers are, you know that this weight will not affect their combat effectiveness at all.

Human beings in this world are generally strong and powerful. Victor once saw farmers carrying 200 kilograms of long stones to build the wall of the town behind the Black Castle. Even Victor himself is more powerful than Zhang Xiaoqiang before traveling through time. You must know that Victor

In this world, he can only be considered a powerless little nobleman.

Ordinary people are like this, so how powerful will the knights who stand at the pinnacle of human power be? And humans are not the most powerful race in this world. What will other orcs, barbarians, elves, dwarves, and even mysterious underground races have?

What kind of power?

Although Victor has far superior agility than ordinary people, he lacks strength. Fortunately, the x-3 chip records many training methods to improve strength and physical strength. In particular, there are many sets of training methods from Chinese martial arts masters that are said to have incredible powers.

Victor is looking forward to these effects very much.

"Your Excellency Victor, we have arrived." The old butler bowed slightly to Victor. "Please allow me to report to the Governor first, and then you can go in to meet the Governor."

"Please do it." Victor raised his hand to signal to the old butler.

"My Lord Governor, His Excellency Baron Wimbledon would like to see you." The old butler knocked on the oak door in front of him.

The heavy oak door opened, and a well-dressed clerk said to Victor: "Your Excellency, the Governor, please come in, Your Excellency the Baron."

Victor followed the secretary into the room. This room was much larger and more luxurious than the room Victor lived in. The floor was covered with smooth and bright ironwood floors, and there were several famous paintings hanging on the white walls. There were also

Two crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, and a dozen water lizard oil candles in the chandeliers illuminated the entire room as bright as day.

Soon, Victor saw the Earl of York sitting at his desk eating snacks.

The Earl of York gave Victor the impression of being "round", with a round face, round eyes, round nose, round hands, round waist and round butt... If there is a further impression, it would be "

"White", the white and round Earl of York, wearing a gorgeous earl's uniform, squeezed into a widened gold armchair, which really gave people an inexplicable sense of joy.

The words spoken by the Earl, who looked very cheerful, had no sense of joy at all.

"Baron Victor, as the Governor of the Centaur Hills, I request you to take office in your territory immediately!" The Earl of York took the silk scarf handed over by a pretty maid next to him and wiped the remaining berries on the corners of his mouth.

"Sir Governor, I suffered a head injury in the last bandit attack. I am still in pain and have lost a lot of memory. I am afraid I will need to recuperate in the Black Castle for a while before I can perform my duties." Victor said bitterly.

A face, said to the count.

The Earl of York had an expression on his face as if he had known what you were going to say for a long time. He poured a mouthful of milk with honey into his mouth and shouted to Victor in a stern voice: "It has been overdue since you submitted the inauguration documents.

For more than a month, this is a dereliction of duty, a serious dereliction of duty! I don’t care what your reasons are, just go to your territory and take office immediately. You must plant crops in your territory before the end of this water season, otherwise I will report to the elders of the kingdom.

The Senate will impeach you!”

"Max, send someone to send the Baron to his territory early tomorrow morning. That's it!" York impatiently patted the table and ordered to the clerk beside him.

"Sir, you can't do this. There are still ferocious bandits roaming in my territory. My family guards haven't arrived yet. If I go to the territory, they will definitely kill me for revenge." Victor sneered in his heart,

But he pretended to be anxious and frightened.

The Earl of York gloated: "Your Excellency, as a feudal noble, it is our bounden duty to protect the territory against evil. How can you shrink back from fear of danger? You should recruit an army to exterminate the abominable bandits. Go quickly, don't delay the water."

Season's sowing. I will wait for you in the Black Castle to send back the good news."

"Your Majesty is right, but the gold soles I carried have been looted by bandits. Now I am penniless. How can I recruit an army? Why don't you lend me some gold soles first and let me recruit an army to destroy the bandits first?"

, Arranging farmers to sow seeds will definitely not cause the Government Council to accuse the Governor of neglecting his duties." Victor said with a grimace.

"Don't even think about it, I won't lend you a single copper sole." As soon as he heard that Victor wanted to borrow money from him, the Earl of York immediately banged the table with his small round hands angrily.

"Since the earl is unwilling to assist me, I can only wait for our Wimbledon family guards to arrive before going to destroy the bandits. If your lord wants to impeach me, please do so. I will naturally make a petition to the Senate at that time.

I'll take my leave now!" Victor turned around to leave, pretending to be sad and angry.

At this moment, a waiter walked up to York and bowed carefully and said: "Master, Madam is already here!"

The Earl of York struggled to stand up from his chair, but failed after several attempts. He shouted angrily: "Hurry up, you useless pigs!"

Several attendants hurriedly pulled the Earl of York out of the chair. He saw waves of flesh rolling all over his body, and Victor was a little worried that his fat body could be squeezed out of his body.

"Oh, dear, you are still so frugal. I told you to replace this chair a long time ago. Why do you still keep it?" A soft voice came from the door.

I saw two women walking in at the door. The first woman was wearing a red waist dress, with her golden hair tied into a lady's bun on her head. She had a fair complexion, a slender waist, and crisp

Her breasts are high and her buttocks are round. Her eyes are full of charm. This beautiful lady is none other than the Countess of York.

Another woman was wearing an exquisite women's leather armor. She was tall, 1.8 meters tall, and her slender legs looked strong and strong under tight breeches. She was holding a sheathed long sword in her hand, and her nose was high.

Her eyes were sharp and her bright face exuded a vigorous heroic spirit. She should be the countess's female bodyguard.

"Sylvia, why are you here?" A flattering smile appeared on York's round face.

"You have a guest here. Who is this handsome young man?" Sylvia ignored York's flattery and her eyes lit up when she saw the handsome Victor.

"My noble lady, even the aster flowers of the Fire Moon would be eclipsed by your beauty. I am Victor of the Wimbledon family, and it is my honor to meet you." Victor stepped forward to greet the Countess.

Got a noble gift.

"So you are Baron Victor. I didn't expect you to be so young." Sylvia looked at Victor with a smile. "I heard that you were attacked by bandits and injured. How are you doing now?"

"Well, madam, I am discussing with Baron Victor his appointment in the territory." York coughed, interrupting his wife's warm greetings to Victor.

"Oh, what's going on?" the countess asked the clerk next to the Earl of York.

The clerk did not dare to neglect and reported to the countess in detail the content of the conversation between the Earl of York and Victor.

"Dear Embiter, Sophia is a good friend of mine who has known me for many years. Is there any way you can help poor Victor?" The countess began to make a request to her husband.

"Madam, it's not that I'm unkind. As the governor here, I can't openly challenge the lords' laws. Besides, the Government Council requires the lords of Centaur Hill to complete the sowing task before the end of the water season this year. I really have no choice." York.

He smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Then send knights to eliminate the remnants of bandits in that territory." Sylvia looked at York coldly, seeming to be very dissatisfied with her husband's evasion.

"Those bandits have all gone into hiding, and even after several rounds of sieges, no trace of them was caught. Now jackals and goblins are harassing farmers everywhere, and I heard traces of ogres have been found. Our knights are simply too busy to do anything.

There is so much time to catch a few fleeing bandits." York took out a silk scarf and wiped the cold sweat on his head.

"My lord, there is another way." The clerk suggested to the count from the side: "Lord Victor, the main confusion is that there are bandits wandering in his territory. The baron's guards have not been recruited yet. Now go and take office.

There is indeed a great risk. So I suggest that you replace a piece of territory for adults."

"According to the laws of the kingdom, the ownership of the territory of the developed territory can be freely exchanged once. Baron, if you exchange your territory with other baronies, you will not have to face the bandits without guards. The replacement documents need to be passed to the Senate.

For the record, this period of time will not be regarded as overdue by the Baron. Your Excellency Victor can also use this period of time to recruit guards and subjects. The Governor will not be held accountable by the Prime Minister."

"What a great idea! Then who will exchange territories with the baron?" York asked, patting the table.

"Sir, your brother, Lord Fred. Viscount York, has opened up a viscounty territory in the southwest of the hills. He has built a castle and has just received the hereditary document approved by the Senate. You can ask him if he is willing."

The secretary suggested.

"Victor, what do you think of this proposal?" York patted his belly contentedly and looked at Victor with a look like a greedy fat badger looking at a poor quail.

"However, the gold sols I brought were looted by bandits, and now I have no funds to recruit guards and citizens." Victor said lightly, feeling overwhelmed by this performance among the nobles.

"I'll lend you 20,000, no, 10,000 gold soles. You just need to sign this." York said through gritted teeth. He took out a document and handed it to the clerk on the side, signaling the clerk to hand over the document.

Pass it to Victor.

"Why are you so embarrassed? I have a ring here that has been handed down from the elves. Well, it was a family heirloom left to me by my mother. I am willing to transfer it to the earl at a low price of one hundred thousand gold soles." Victor took it off his finger.

The next turquoise ring was carelessly dropped on the replacement paperwork.

The elves have been away from the human world for thousands of years. Every piece of jewelry handed down by this race that pursues perfection and advocates art is sought after by human nobles. An elf ring is worth at least 300,000 gold soles in the royal capital.

"Quick, show me!" Sure enough, the Earl of York impatiently shouted to the attendant holding the document and ring. When he saw Sylvia staring at him coldly, he said slyly

Hand the ring you just got to your wife.

"Isn't this ring a style that has only become popular in the royal capital in recent months? It is said to be a new style designed by jewelry design master Benjamin to imitate the elven style. I happen to have several rings of the same style set with blue diamonds here. Each one is

The ring is worth 3,000 gold soles." Sylvia held the ring in her fair and jade-like hands and said to Victor with a smile.

"The Countess is indeed very discerning. Master Benjamin used this ancestral ring of mine to design a new elf-style ring." Victor smiled at the Countess. The blood of the Moon Elf made Victor look more elegant.

His smile was light and elegant, making his smile full of charming charm. The tall female guard was stunned for a moment, two red clouds flew up her cheeks, and she quietly lowered her head.

Seeing Victor talking nonsense seriously, Sylvia's bright eyes showed a hint of appreciation.

"50,000 gold sols, Baron Victor, I will host a dinner for you at Rose Manor tonight to celebrate your recovery. I will send someone to pick you up, please be sure to come." Sylvia's watery eyes

He glanced at Victor and extended an invitation to Victor.
