Chapter 34 Manor Assets (please read)
In the early morning, a ray of sunlight came through the window and woke up Herot.
After riding the train for a few days, it was so comfortable to sleep on the big, fluffy bed. Last night I fell asleep almost as soon as I touched the pillow, and now I don't want to get up even if I wake up.
But after what happened yesterday went over in his mind, Helot had to get up. There were still many important things waiting for him to do today.
But where are my clothes?
Helot clearly remembered that he was too sleepy last night and fell asleep before taking off his clothes. How come he was naked when he woke up?
Who took off my clothes?
"Kurt!" Herot shouted.
The bedroom door was pushed open, and Maynur floated in with several maids, lining up in a row at the head of the bed. The maids were holding the clothes he wore yesterday.
Helot quickly pulled the blanket to cover his private parts and asked Maynur, "Where is Kurt?"
Maynur replied: "Master, good morning! Your butler is leading your servants to repair the garden of the manor at this time. If you have anything to tell the butler, I will ask your maid to call the butler now."< br>
“No need. Who took off my clothes?”
“It’s us, Master” Maynur replied with a smile: “It will be very uncomfortable to sleep with clothes on, and Master’s The clothes were dirty, so we took off the master's clothes and washed them."
The maids all pursed their lips and smiled.
I don’t know what they are laughing about.
Herot said: "Put down the clothes."
The maids put down the clothes they were holding.
Mainur asked: "Master, do you need us to help you dress?"
"No, you can go out."
"Yes, master. "Mainur asked the maids to go out first, and then said: "I am right outside the door, ready to listen to your call."
"I know."
Mainur walked out of the bedroom and closed the door.
Helot immediately stood up and quickly put on his clothes. It was a bit unaccustomed to being served so meticulously all of a sudden.
Going to the window, there is a large garden outside.
It’s just that the garden has been abandoned, filled with withered weeds and small shrubs.
At this time, Butler Kurt was pulling weeds in the garden with his skeleton slaves. Of course they were doing this for the new owner. After all, the undead did not appreciate living things.
A maid floated to Kurt's side and said a few words to him.
Kurt immediately faced Heroot, who was overlooking this side, and then led all the skeleton slaves to salute their master.
Helot pointed to Kurt in the direction of the restaurant, turned around and walked out of the room.
In the restaurant, after Herot sat down, the maids immediately served a sumptuous breakfast.
Kurt also rushed over, holding a stack of documents in his hands.
"Master, these are the existing assets of Claulund Manor."
"Put it down."
Helot was eating breakfast while flipping through the pages of Grams Information on the assets of the Laurent family.
As Helot expected, there was not much cash in the Claulund Manor, but the real estate was astonishingly large.
After all, he was one of the twelve founding Dukes, and his skinny camel was bigger than his horse.
Clough Lund Manor itself is a museum with a large number of antiques, artworks, jewelry, and too many gold and silverware to count.
Then there is the private domain of the Claude family.
Except for the Crowlund Manor, which covers an area of up to four square kilometers, the forest outside the manor and the large land to the west are all owned by the Crowlund family.
Even the entire town of Hog was once within the territory of the Claude family. However, with the decline of the family, much of the land was legally occupied under various names. Even so, the area of the Clallund family's private territory recognized by the empire still accounts for one-third of the total area of Hog Town.
He is a well-deserved big landowner in Hogg Town.
But the current situation...
Most of the land in the Claude family's territory has been illegally occupied, and they have been turned into farms and pastures. Even the people who live on them don't know it. The land they "own" was forcibly taken from the Claulund family by their ancestors.
The undead souls of the Claulund family are unable to manage such a large territory and can only be allowed to be occupied by them.
But illegal occupation is illegal occupation after all, and the empire has repeatedly rejected Hoge Town’s application to change the ownership of these lands. After all, the empire also wants to save face. If he really wants to swallow up the last bit of territory of the founding duke, the emperor of the empire will be too inhumane.
For some people in Hogtown, the Clorond Estate is a piece of cake.
What presence of the undead would prevent investors from coming!
Where there are business opportunities, will investors care about the presence of undead?
Helot continues to look at the family assets.
After a while, a ghost servant came in to report: Inspector Morpheus from the Hog Town Sheriff's Office came to visit.
It came so quickly!
"Bring Inspector Morpheus in."
"Yes, Master."
After a while, Morpheus was brought to the restaurant by the ghost servant.
This is a very oppressive man with sharp and fierce eyes. He was wearing the uniform of an Imperial Sheriff, with a high cap, a red woolen jacket and blue trousers, and a pair of polished leather boots. There is a holster on the right side of the armed belt, and a swift sword on the left side.
Behind him followed two magistrates, identical uniforms, but without pistols, carrying single-shot muskets on their shoulders.
When Morpheus saw Herot, he immediately asked sternly: "Who are you? Do you know that your current behavior is illegal misappropriation of other people's assets!"
That aura of justice was so fierce. However, ordinary people can be really frightened and overwhelmed by him.
Helot picked up the wine glass at hand, swayed the red wine in it, and replied slowly: "I think my servants should have told you when they came in, I am Claude The new owner of the manor...Helot Claude."
"You said you are the owner here? Hog Town has not recognized you. We don't even know your origin."
Helot drank wine and replied: "The inheritance of the Claude family does not need to be recognized by Hog Town, and even our respected Imperial Emperor is not qualified to interfere.
Inspector Morpheus, I I suggest you go through the historical files of Hog Town to confirm whether what I said is correct." Kurt, who was waiting on the side, said: "Master, if he goes back to look at the historical files of Hog Town, he will find everyone in Hog Town. Their ancestors were all slaves of the Claude family, including the Morpheus family."
Morpheus put his hand on the handle of the gun angrily: "Do you know, You are humiliating an imperial official!”
Hilot said with a smile: “What my butler stated is a fact! If your ancestors were not slaves of the Claulund family, what they just said would be considered true. Humiliation.”
Morpheus wanted to get angry, but after thinking about it he suppressed his anger.
The Clorond Manor suddenly has a new owner. It is really strange. It seems that I have never heard of any other direct members of the Cloulund family.
Where did this young man who called himself Helot Claude come from?
And Micron and Sears didn't return to town all night. What happened to them on their way to Crowlund Manor?
Morpheus lowered his hand on the handle of the gun.
He arranged his clothes, showed off his aura as a detective from the police station, and said to Helot: "This morning, the police station received a report that two out-of-town tourists disappeared near Claulund Manor last night. Excuse me, Have you seen them?”
“Yes!” Helot replied while eating an omelette.
"Where are they?"
Helot asked Kurt: "Where are they now?"
Kurt replied respectfully: "Report to the master . They were buried under an oak tree outside the estate."
"Dig it out later and let Morpheus check to see if they are the two missing tourists."
"Yes, master."
Helot turned to Morpheus Question: "Detective, is there anything else?"
Morpheus's face was extremely ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Kill them!"
"Illegal intrusion into me territory, causing the loss of many of my ghost servants, and threatening me to... turn Claulund Manor into a terra nullius. Whatever I do to them is legally justified.
< br>
Detective, do you have any objections? ”
Morpheus had to re-evaluate the current strength of Claulund Manor.
His attitude was not as arrogant as before.
But it was still very He said forcefully: "If they really broke into the Crowlund Manor illegally and were verbally offensive, you should subdue them and hand them over to the security station for processing. I seriously suspect that you used lynching excessively, resulting in the death of two tourists who accidentally entered private property under unknown circumstances.
Please come with us to the town police station for further investigation. ”
Helot chuckled: "Inspector Morpheus, don't think of me as a legal illiterate who doesn't understand anything. Claurend Manor and the surrounding land are the highest-level private territories recognized by the empire. On this land, I am the only law here.
Let alone killing two illegal intruders, even if you die here, the empire can only launch a war to avenge you, instead of using any law to convict me. "< br>
Morpheus finally realized that the young man in front of him was not a simple character.
My own efforts to dismantle the Crowlund Manor encountered major obstacles.
There is no point in staying here anymore. We must go back as soon as possible to gather people and think of countermeasures.
Morpheus forced a smile on his face: "I was too excited when I heard that there was a murder. You don't have to take any responsibility for this case. But I still hope that you can go to Hog Town to register. After all, Clauren The change of owner of De Manor is a big event for the whole town."
"I will go to the town when I have time. Have you had breakfast? I can ask my servant to prepare one for you. "
Morpheus did not dare to eat the food here. He took off his hat and bowed and said: "We have already eaten breakfast. Thank you. We will take our leave. Please let your servant take care of you. Let's go see the bodies of the two tourists and allow us to take them away."
"Yes"
Helot summoned a ghost servant to take Morpheus and the others. Dig up the body.
When everyone left, Kurt was worried and said to Helot: "Master, if those corpses are taken away by Morpheus, they will cause panic in Hog Town with just a little use."
The one yesterday The body of the thin man was normal, but the body of the dwarf and those corpse puppets were not acceptable to ordinary people.
Is the corpse used to make the corpse puppet a corpse stealer? Or kill a living person?
Especially with so many children’s bodies, it’s simply heartbreaking.
Even if it is known that these things were done by the corpse stitcher, as the gravekeeper of the Clallund Manor, he will definitely become the target of the townspeople to vent their accusations.
After eating and drinking, Herot wiped his mouth with a napkin and said to Kurt: "In a pool of calm water, only throwing a big stone into it can disturb the fish hiding at the bottom. Don't worry, Kurt! Grams Laurent Manor has a new owner. It will not be bulldozed so easily.
I am going to the family cemetery. You can stay and continue to take care of the garden. Laurent Manor should have more color. "
"Yes, my master."
Helot stood up and opened the door of the family cemetery.
Walking in the tomb passage leading to the skull maze, Herot thought about what he would do in this game world in the future.
The first thing is of course to improve your own strength as soon as possible. The encounters yesterday and today showed that there will be more troublesome things and more powerful opponents coming in the future. Talking can't stop greedy guys, only strength can make them bow their heads and obey.
The second is to regain control of the family cemetery with the help of the Zhanlan Association.
Finally, it is the umbrella that turns Scorched Earth City into a family cemetery.
To sum up, these three things to do are actually one thing.
Through a thin film, Herot appeared in the skull maze in the old cemetery. The familiar game interface appeared in view, and the information channel was as lively as ever.
There is also a message box that keeps flashing.
It’s the father, and Yanyu Chuhua and the others.
First open the message from my father. "There is news from Scorched Earth City that a player has been favored by the city lord Dorothea and backstabbed the Eight Armed Ape Guild who has been conquering the plot of Scorched Earth City. Return the eight-armed ape guild. The Brabion Guild caused heavy losses, with the main force losing one level on average, and Forgotten Kirishima was killed twice in a row.
I think that player should be you. Do you need me to come forward and talk to the Brabion Guild? ”
The Soul Eaters come forward to mediate, and of course they can put the Eight Arms Guild in order.
But Helot didn't want the storm to subside just like that.
He replied: "Father, I have just entered the game. I can handle the affairs of the Eight Arms Guild by myself. Please help me find out who are the important figures in the Eight Arms Guild in Scorched Earth City. How can they guide them? Where is the main direction and what is the ultimate goal? "
The soul eater responded quickly: "I will help you check it, but don't show off when you encounter something you can't handle. When the Yaqi Orochi Guild behind the Monkey Guild ends, you must tell me that there are a few troublesome guys there, not comparable to someone like Forget Kirishima."
"Don't worry, father! There is a brother who is the number one player. Why don't I use it at a critical moment? But I don't need you to take action now. I will play with the Eight Arms Guild first."
"Then I wish you a happy game. . The thirteenth wave of beasts is here and the monsters are spawning.”
"I wish you a good time, too, father."
