Law of the Devil Chapter 17: [Three hundred coins]

Chapter 17 [Three Hundred Gold Coins]

At dawn, the old housekeeper Hill personally pushed the breakfast cart to the study. When he pushed in the door, he saw the young master of the family standing on the stairs in front of the bookshelf, holding in his hand. A thick book of astrology is seeing.

It looks like this young man didn't sleep all night, although his face was slightly tired, but his spirit seemed good. It just seemed that his body was too dirty ... Did he roll in those books last night?

Also, he picked a dagger on the wall and put it on the desk ... Well, it was an antique used by his ancestors.

The old steward sighed and summoned someone to freshen up the young master.

After breakfast, Du Wei stretched out: "Is the person who came from the Imperial City with me settled last night?"

"Of course, they live behind the castle. Your guard knights, according to family management, have been incorporated into the castle's guard ... Forgive me, respectful master, you seem to have recruited on the road Knight, and a horsewoman, I originally wanted to arrange that knight to rest in the castle, but she refused ... because you brought a captive off the road. The captive didn't know where to offend You, I have arranged to be locked in the dungeon of the castle. Last night, the horsewoman and her concubine lived in the room on the dungeon. "

"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 finish reading these, it will take at least three or four days ... that is too Boring, Hill, I have to find something to do. "

Three or four days? It's good that you can watch it in ten days.

The old steward said secretly in the stomach, but his face still respected: "Yes. You are the master here. All the people in the entire castle are your servants. Here, your will will be reflected to the greatest extent. As for You do n’t have to worry about reading these accounts immediately. Anyway, these are the accounts of the past year. I feel that if you are free in the future, you can squeeze out so little precious time in the family industry. Check out one or two places here. Maybe more useful than looking at these boring books. "

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

"Uh ..." The old butler was embarrassed: "This, you know, the prosperity of this place is not comparable to that of the emperor. The nearest town is a day from the castle, and even if you ride a horse, it takes a day. In the castle, there is nothing to pass time on weekdays, but the surrounding scenery is not bad. If you are interested, you can ride your horse and take your knights to hunt in the woods. Although there may be no prey in this season , But going out is also a good choice. "

Dou Wei nodded. He took the black tea in front of him and took a sip, and then he suddenly moved: "The guy I caught ... wouldn't there be any problem? I mean, I have the power here to ... ... "

"You mean law enforcement right? My God ... Master, this is the Rowling Plain! The entire plain belongs to the Rowling Family! Here, as long as you do not rebel against the empire, other than that The law of the Rowlings is law! And you, now the highest status of the Rowlings in this castle.

"Okay." Du Wei stood up, and a maid next to him leaned over with a long leather coat, trying to put on Du Wei. Du Wei glanced at the animal that he didn't know. Fur clothes, shook his head: "It's still so warm, don't wear these ... Oh, yes, Hill, I need one or two followers by my side, I like to use people I know, uh ... let Mard come over Well, I still like him to follow me. As for others, have you incorporated the twenty knights I brought from the emperor into the castle's guard? So good, I will take a moment to look at it today They, by the way, take a look at the samurai of the castle guards. Uh ... the last thing, my enlightenment teacher when I was a kid, was a famous astrologer, a famous old scholar Mr. Rosiat, under his teaching, I'm interested in astrology. During the time I lived in the castle, I would use the room on the top floor of the white tower. "

"Baita ... top level ..." The old housekeeper opened his mouth, and his face was embarrassed: "This ... Master, I'm afraid you don't know, there is always a ban in the family. Anyone except the patriarch, No one is allowed to board the Baita. "

"Oh?" Du Wei's eyes lightened, "Is that so?"

He didn't mean to be frustrated at all, but had some expectations in his heart ... Well, since it is a forbidden ground, must there be any Semel relics left in it? Maybe there is something else to discover.

As for ... not going in? Nope, am I still sneaking up?

"Okay. So, I have a few things, and I need you to send someone to buy me." Du Wei finished, took a quill from the table, and quickly ran on a piece of paper. Brush down a few things.

Here are some of the things he wanted to study astrology last night.

At least one telescope is needed to study astrology? And it's best to be an astronomical telescope. However, there is no such thing in this world. It seems that I still need to make it by myself.

There is such a thing as glass in this world. The craftsmanship of the mirrors here is very high. If you study it a little, you can come up with a rough telescope.

Actually ... Well, in this world, the use of telescopes is actually very small, because this kind of thing is mainly used for military operations. But in this world, there is magic! The magician's blessing of an "Eagle Eye" is far better than a telescope.

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

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

Dewey came out of the study, and soon the old housekeeper invited Mader as Dewey ordered.

The ex-groomer's expression was a little depressed. After all, he was a "man in charge" all the way, commanding twenty cavalry on the road, and that feeling was still very good. But as soon as they arrived in the castle, the guard cavalry was immediately assigned to the castle guard, stationed in a small barracks on the left side outside the castle. And his "admiral" immediately became the commander of the bare pole.

Hanged up a director's name, but not even one of his men.

The old housekeeper here seems to be a veteran of the Rowling family. How dare he split his power? After sleeping in the room for a night, Mad was still worried about his future ... The little master didn't let himself wait last night, wouldn't he forget me?

So, when he heard Dewey's call early, Mader rushed over and came over. His hurried appearance made Hill, the old steward who paid attention to the meter, a little dissatisfied, but Mader didn't care. Ran to the castle hall and saw Du Wei standing there, Mader hurried up, wishing he could go and hug Du Wei.

"Oh, my master, I am your faithful servant, Mader. Do you have any orders?"

Dewey sees Mard looking a little helpless. After all, in this place, only Mard can be regarded as his own confidant. Anyone else ... Well, that Ruolin can barely be considered half.

Du Wei didn't rush to meet the magician in the dungeon immediately, but gave an order first: from today, no one can enter the study room without his order!

The old housekeeper did not say anything about this strange order.

Du Wei then took people to the barracks outside the castle. There were three hundred private soldiers of the Rollin family, one hundred of them were cavalry, and a team of twenty, formed into five cavalry squads, taking turns every day. Patrol around the castle. The twenty guard knights Dewey brought from the imperial capital were just organized into the sixth squad. These people changed their equipment in the barracks and immediately welcomed Dewey.

Du Wei had already talked with Mard along the way, and then asked Mard to come forward and chose six people as his personal companions. These six people were all observed by Mard along the way and felt that he was fairly loyal. , The kind of doing more due diligence. The six cavalry immediately said nothing, took off their armor and replaced them with light equipment, and bid farewell to the barracks on horseback.

Their colleagues looked at these people with an envious expression ... Hey, after all, it's beside the host. Maybe one day the host sees it as pleasing to the eye, there is a chance for promotion.

I have to say that I left this depressed Earl's Mansion of the Imperial Capital and came to this castle in the Rollin family territory.

At least here, Du Wei is the highest status person, and the life of this aristocracy is also very good. When going out, a servant immediately brought a docile steed. The saddle and halter were the most exquisite first-class goods. I heard that in order to please Dewey, the horse was chosen by Mader himself. The ex-groom's vision of the horse is quite good.

During the morning, Du Wei took six entourages through the woods outside the castle for two laps, and finally he chose a place.

On the edge of the woods, a little further from the castle, there is a stream here that is a tributary of the tributary of the Emerald River (Rorin River). The water flow was gentle, and the surroundings were checked, showing no trace of large beasts. Du Wei immediately decided that he was going to build a wooden house here.

Here will be his first magic laboratory—although he is not a magician now, and he has been found to have no talent for learning magic, Dewey is not worried about it.

There will always be a way.

After the recorded location, Du Wei took a look around again.

This young master's behavior does seem strange.

In this morning, in addition to inspecting the surrounding woods, he was chatting with the servants in the castle. And the first person he met was the gardener and gardener in the castle!

Then the master issued a list and asked the gardener and gardener to prepare some strange flowers and plants according to the list. The list quickly fell into the hands of old butler Hill, who said nothing and immediately followed.

At night, Du Wei finally took a break and had time to meet the captive in the dungeon.

Presumably after two days and two nights of torture, the magician should have suffered a lot. See if he is willing to yield?

Du Wei led people back to the castle with confidence, but the oldest butler Hill came to him.

"Sir, you have several lists issued today, and everything you need to purchase, I have sent someone fully equipped."

"So fast?" Du Wei was a little pleased with satisfaction.

"Of course, this is the territory of the Luo Lin family. Your order is our bounden duty. After you handed them to me, I immediately sent someone to the surrounding towns to purchase. Now things are. Already on the way back. But there is a small problem ... "

"What?"

"I'm afraid you don't have enough money," the steward replied calmly.

"..." Du Wei was somewhat surprised: "Money?"

"That's it." The old housekeeper's face was calm, but it was this calm expression and calm tone that actually annoyed Du Wei. Because in the eyes of this old housekeeper, there are some hidden gloats: "Master, because you are not yet an adult, the rule made by the patriarch, in addition to your daily food and clothing, you can draw three hundred from your family every month. The amount of gold coins is your expense. There are only three hundred gold coins per month, which is the amount of money you can use. If it exceeds, you must deduct the money from next month. "

"..." Du Wei was a little speechless.

Money? But Du Wei didn't expect that the eldest son of his dignified count would still have problems for such a little money?

The old housekeeper quickly took out a one-eye lens from his arms and put it on his left eye. Then he took out the list that Du Wei opened today: "Four high-quality crystals, twenty glass mirrors, A stove and a half-carriage of coal. From the gardener, you bought the seeds of a generation of golden scale flowers, the seeds of a genus of quiche, and a large bottle of pollen from the Luo Hei rose ... In addition, there is a set of the best floral tools. From the gardener, you bought two tiger-leaf broadleaf trees, a hundred clover, and ... "

The old housekeeper quickly finished the list, and then slowly said, "Purchasing these things will cost you a total of about 420 gold coins. In other words, not only did you spend this month's quota, but even The money for next month has been withdrawn in advance ... And, I also heard that you plan to build a wooden house beside the stream outside the forest. I have made a calculation. If you build a two-storey building that is not too complicated, Calculating with a small wooden building, I'm afraid it will cost another 300 gold coins, as well as the furnishings and furniture in the wooden house you requested. It will cost about 200 gold coins. In this way, I am afraid you have already spent the next four All the money of the month. "

Du Wei was speechless.

He realized that he was probably miscalculated!

Money!

The eldest son of the dignified count will be out of money!

But those flowers and plants are necessary. Those are some of the most basic raw materials necessary for Dewey to study magic pharmacy.

Du Wei looked at the old housekeeper, he sank his face: "Really? You mean, my father's eldest son, who is responsible for guarding the family property industry, can only use 300 or so every month. Gold coins? Am I right? "

The attitude of the old housekeeper is still very respectful: "Yes, this is the rule, it was written in the letter from the patriarch. Although the family's industry has tens of thousands of gold coins every month, you must know ... Those are public money. You have n’t reached adulthood yet, you have n’t got your own title, and you do n’t have your own territory, so ... ”

"So, I only have pocket money of three hundred gold coins a month, right?" Du Wei said coldly, and then he waved: "Okay, I know, in the coming months, I will I'm afraid I can't buy anything, right? "

"Sorry, this is an order from Lord Earl. You can only withdraw up to three months in advance."

The old housekeeper saw the dissatisfaction of the little master, and he left immediately.

After the old steward stepped down, Dewey looked at Mader next to him. Mader immediately said carefully: "Master ... I have the thousand gold coins you asked me to keep. These are all from the Imperial City. Before, the countess gave you. "

Du Wei sighed: "Well, I was also surprised at first, why my mother secretly gave me such a sum of money ... now I know ... Hey, it seems that my father is also worried that my idiot will be in the family territory. I was in trouble, worried that I would ruin my fortune, so I was just given a caretaker name, but I was not allowed to use the money here. "

"This ... we can save some expenses. In fact, 300 gold coins a month is already quite a lot ..." Mader said here, and closed his mouth consciously because the little master was thinking.

"... Okay, so, we will find a way to get some money out ourselves." After a short period of discomfort, Du Wei immediately wanted to open ... Anyway, the secret Seymour left to himself, Behind that door as a barrier to the eye, isn't there still a lot of treasure? If that doesn't work, just use the money in it.

It's just ... It looks like the days of mating are not as comfortable and free as you think.

"Go, go and see the dungeon." Du Wei waved and said lightly, "I hope that magician will not refuse me today. Now I'm in a bad mood!"
