Chapter 57 (1/2)
When Donne was thinking about how to refine medicine for the guard at home, uncle Depp, who had already set out, did not stop for a moment. He traveled all night. It would have taken five or six days, but he arrived in only three days.
Castle palmy is located in the north of Ellington, where the ladhian hills disappear, while the west is the remnant of the ambris mountains. Castle palmy is located on the hillside of one of the remnant. The whole mountain is tightly wrapped by a castle dozens of meters high. Several villages are scattered around, and farmers working in the fields can be seen vaguely.
Just from the appearance, we know that caspamiburg is much better than Ellington.
Generally speaking, few barons have territory. Baron Hogg owns Ellington because Ellington is an abandoned territory. Being sent here as a lord is basically a means to punish some nobles. In the period when there is no fixed Lord, the Lords here take turns to sit. It is precisely because there is no fixed Lord that Ellington has never developed.
Baron Hogg's full name is Hogg Pope. The Pope family is not a well-known family in the king's capital, yarinks. It can only be regarded as a small family. It is estimated that Hogg picked up such a bargain behind the ass of a large family.
Unlike Baron duvier of caspamiburg, duvier Kadir, a member of the alinx Kadir family, is a powerful faction. He can obtain the territory of caspamiburg through the game of the family in the aristocratic Parliament.
Castle caspami is well located in the northwest of the Empire's belly. To the west is the ambris mountains, a natural barrier. To the north is the scar of the holy sword. The third imperial Legion is stationed here all year round to ensure that the armies of several countries in the north will not invade the Ilus Empire through the scar of the holy sword - in fact, those countries have been fighting hard in recent years, There is no time to care about a sunset Ilus empire.
Therefore, caspamiburg is very safe. It is a place suitable for noble children to develop and operate with ease - of course, it is not a very good place. It can be seen that Baron duvier's position in the family is also very general.
But it's enough for Baron duvier to live a very moist life.
Unfortunately, he didn't know he put his hand into Donne's pocket.
So his trouble came.
The housekeeper pushed the door in, ignored the red sex beside Baron duvier, and said very seriously, ”Baron! There's important news!”
Baron duvier frowned: ”very important?”
”Very important.”
”You wait for me in the bedroom first.”
Baron duvier had to dispel the red sex. When he was disturbed, he looked unhappy: ”cole, you'd better really report something important, or I'll deduct all your salary this month!”
The housekeeper Cole just didn't hear: ”Baron, there's an accident in the mine.”
Baron duvier looked confused: ”mine? Do we have a mine?”
”My Lord, Ellington, Brussels iron mine...”
”Oh, oh! I robbed the Brussels iron ore mountain in Ellington. I forgot this. Speaking of Hogg, the waste hasn't responded yet. I think it's completely abandoned.”
Baron duvier waved his hand and looked impatient: ”what can happen there? Does Hogg dare to rob it back?”
”Baron, the mine was really robbed back, but it's not Hogg.”
The housekeeper Cole said, ”a soldier was escorted back by Ellington's people and sent the news. Ellington has now changed a lord named Donne.”
”Another Lord? I've been here for ten years. Ellington has changed seven or eight lords? Hogg still stays the longest.”
Duvier frowned. ”What's the origin of this Donne?”
”It's an imperial baron. It's said that he bought the identity of Lord Ellington. I don't know any other information.”
”Pay for Ellington?”
Baron duvier was stunned. ”Is that guy an idiot? He bought Ellington? Doesn't he know there's nothing poor there?”
”Sir, don't forget that Baron Hogg squeezed out a lot of oil and water in three years...”
”It's not worth buying there... How many gold coins did he spend?”
”I don't know... Sir, the point is that the iron ore mountain was taken back by Donne.”
”How possible.”
Baron duvier said indifferently, ”I know there are few people in the broken place of Ellington. How can the militia composed of more than 100 people defeat the 150 elite soldiers I sent? And what's the name of the steward?”
”My Lord, Rex.”
”That's right! Rex, didn't I send him a bodyguard? - Eddie, that bodyguard's name is Eddie. Hiring him will cost me more than 1000 gold coins a year!”
Housekeeper Cole looked helpless: ”Sir, Rex and Eddie are dead... Sir, you'd better see the messenger. There is one of our soldiers following. This should be true.”
”How dare you send a messenger? OK, I'll meet the messenger!”
Baron duvier put on his clothes and came out with the housekeeper to see Uncle Depp and the soldier.
As soon as the soldier saw Baron duvier, he knelt on the ground: ”Lord!”
Baron duvier ignored the soldier's cry and stared at Uncle Depp: ”are you Ellington's messenger? What do you want to say?”
Uncle Depp had a transmission scroll given to him by Donne. He was not afraid at the moment. He took out the letter and shouted, ”this is the letter that Lord Donne ordered me to give to duvier! Are you duvier?”
”Bold! How dare a farmer call me by name!”
Baron duvier's face was cold: ”with this, I can put you to death!”
”I'm an Ellington messenger. You can't kill me.”
Uncle Depp sneered, ”come and pick up the letter.”
”Go.”
