Chapter 976 The Decline of the Blood Tribe 11
The mayor and elders expressed their gratitude for bringing people there to express concern. The residents of the town were complaining, saying that Versace and Anna were causing trouble.
The ancient house was doused with kerosene and burned. Once it was ignited, it was impossible to save it. Dracula and his two brides escaped from the old house in the shape of three fireballs.
Residents also said vividly that the two brides put out the fire on their bodies, faced the burning ancient house, faced the raging fire, grabbed their hair, and howled like their dead mothers. That's crying for or for Dracula. Dracula and his bride chased and beat Versace and Anna, which also showed Dracula's resentment at the destruction of the ancient house.
The centuries-old ancient house was destroyed. You must know that the Vitonas family was responsible for collecting the town's taxes, but they spent all the tax money. The money for the church was donated by the Vitonas family. Now Anna seems to have burned her home down, but in fact, what she burned was hundreds of years of the town's tax revenue.
In response to this, the mayor planned to send someone to the district church to file a complaint and demand the replacement of the local baron and the inactive monk. It was the monks who wrote letters to the church, saying that the Vitonas family was the last one left. As a result, the people they sent, together with Anna, not only burned down the old house, but also almost burned down the town.
And the reason is obvious. This valley was originally under the jurisdiction of Dracula, because the Vitonas family was granted the title of baron, and the town was assigned to the Vitonas family as territory. As for other places, since there is no order, they should still belong to Dracula's territory.
As the owner of the territory, he failed to fulfill his responsibility to protect the residents, and also implicated everyone. He should have burned Dracula's castle, but he set fire to the territory. Isn't it unhealthy? They demanded that the territory should no longer be managed by Anna, the last descendant of the Vitonas family, and be directly classified as church property.
The baron and his wife laughed happily from time to time. Xining just listened and finished her breakfast as quickly as possible. When she finished eating, she and the baroness would go to the eldest sister in the city to accompany her childbirth. Just let go of the messy things going on here. Out of sight, the mind is at peace.
Mo Ming: "Lazy again."
Xining: "Are there any set tasks? Yes, yes?"
Of course not, so she can do whatever she wants, as long as she can save her life and live well. As long as all factors are conducive to living, they are doing their job.
Mo Ming: "Humph~"
After breakfast, we put our suitcases on the carriage. There are not many things, and the eldest sister has everything. If you are missing, you can go to the city to buy it. The baron father generously gave fifty silver coins, throwing away all expenses and church donations, which is equivalent to five years of savings. You can buy a small building in a slightly remote place in the city that is not a busy place.
When it comes to investing in their children, the Williams family has always been willing to spend a lot of money. Otherwise, the two brothers in front have a bright future, and the two sisters have married well.
The most important thing is that with the protection of Dracula, the church will not force taxes on them, and they are not under the jurisdiction of the Vitonas family. They can give the church as much as they want.
Otherwise, life would be very tight. Just like the residents of the town, they usually wear rags. Sometimes they need to borrow wedding dresses. Sometimes they can’t even afford coffins for burials, so they ask a few buddies to cut down trees and make them themselves.
Put on a beautiful dress, put on a hat with a ribbon, and tie a long dark pink ribbon with a bow at the chin, making you look beautiful and lively. Going into the city is not a big problem.
As soon as she got in the car, the Baroness called out: "I won't wear it until we get to town soon. Why are we wearing it now?"
Xining sat down and said nonchalantly: "Mom, this dress has been put in the box for too long, so I have to put it on now. Otherwise, the brand-new dress will smell of mold and dust in the box, or it will be wrinkled. The pleats are so deep that they can be seen at a glance.”
"You're a loser who doesn't know how to save," muttered the Baroness.
Seeing that the Baroness had compromised, Xining deliberately tried to get out of the car: "Since mother is unhappy, I will change her."
"No need!" The Baroness lost her last breath and grabbed her hand to open the door: "Since you've put it on, don't change it. What you said makes sense. I'll put it on tomorrow too." Clothes." Xining smiled and sat down again, simply leaning on his side so that he could sleep on the carriage later. The journey would take more than two days.
Four large suitcases were loaded onto the roof of the carriage, and old John and his son were sent as safe men. Vivian could only follow the baroness's maid and sit on the back frame of the car.
Xining waved to the baron father who came to see him off: "Don't worry, father, I will take care of my mother and eldest sister."
The Baron's father also waved his hand: "Just take care of yourself. Be careful not to let the boys in the city take advantage of you. Also, be careful of your brother-in-law."
Xining was stunned. The first two sentences were still understandable, but the last sentence was just... Is the eldest sister's brother-in-law so unbearable? Since he was worried, why did Mao let his eldest sister marry him, and this time he gave birth to his fifth child.
In order to show the identity of the Baron's family, the Baron ordered four horses to be hitched this time.
You must know that this is the Middle Ages, and many nobles travel on horseback. Having a carriage is considered very wealthy. It was not the black carriage with glass in the future, and certainly not the horse-drawn ox cart. It was the prototype of the carriage in the future, but it was much rougher, almost like a caravan made of wood.
If the cart is pulled by four horses, it is undoubtedly like driving an extended commercial vehicle.
As the carriage moved forward, the steady sound formed a white noise that made people drowsy. Xining simply removed the small bench, laid out a carpet, and lay down on the blanket to sleep.
The baroness shook her head frequently: "You are so casual, what will you do in the city?"
But not long after, she also lay down and fell asleep together. That’s right, sleeping while sitting is not as comfortable as sleeping while lying down.
Xining’s creed: Never stand if you can sit, never sit if you can lie down. People should be kind to themselves!
We were out not long ago, about two or three hours. The carriage stopped before the sun reached the center.
Old John walked to the car door and saw the two ladies in the car lying asleep. He quickly turned sideways, took off his hat, and whispered in a trembling voice: "Madam, there is something."
The Baroness was very fast and sat up immediately: "What is it?"
"There!"
Hearing this, Xining sat up lazily and looked in the direction pointed by Old John's finger. There was indeed something there, a large area of darkness that was vaguely indistinct behind the trees.
The Baroness lowered her voice, still unable to hide her panic: "Hurry up, drive as gently as possible, and leave here immediately."
"Okay, madam!" Old John quickly put his hat on his head and ran to the driver's seat in front.
The wheels rolled slowly, and Old John followed the order and tried to leave here as gently as possible.
