Lord: Exiled by Stepmother, I'll Rule the World Anyway

After arriving at Starry Night Castle.

Field asked the "heartbroken" Charlotte to rest, while he took the maid and guards to see Grova.

"Hello, distinguished lady, please forgive the shabby conditions here. The conditions of Nightfall Leader are limited, and I have tried my best to give you the best treatment."

"Well, hello." Grova put on a ladylike appearance and put her hands calmly in front of her. "I was really frightened by the thugs. Can you understand? When I finished giving bread to the poor, I I was planning to go to the church to pray, but suddenly a dozen thugs came and violently took me away."

It's like bringing back bad memories.

"God shows mercy, I don't even dare to crush a small insect to death."

Grova covered her face and cried.

"Well, I feel deeply for your tragic experience." Field said softly, "Can you tell me why those bastards kidnapped you? I will use this as a crime and sentence them."

"Oh, poor me, I don't know what the thugs are thinking. Maybe they are greedy for beauty, or they may extort gold coins. You have to know that people at the bottom will do anything for gold coins, unlike us, just for noble moral character .”

Field almost burst out laughing.

"All right."

She must have known about the Mountain Monkey Leader's arrest of the girl, but the villagers did not know how to use torture to extract confessions, and they had the illusion of returning to normal life. They did not hurt her, so they did not ask.

Field was secretly amused, but the villagers did not poke her, otherwise there would be thirty or forty thugs coming in turns, and she would not be able to stand and talk to herself. Not to mention that there are many female villagers among the thugs. They cannot be greedy for beauty, unless they are villagers from Lily Village.

As for the gold coins, the possibility is not high. If you really want the gold coins, you will not be desperate and hide in the night.

If it weren't for the "corruption" protection of Violet, they would have become food for rotten corpses.

Field still wanted to ask, but seeing her slightly joking and smug expression, he knew that the question would yield no results, so he smiled and said, "I would also like to ask the lady to stay as a guest at night for a few days, while I gather the troops to escort you out."

When she heard how many more days it would take, her face turned very ugly: "How long?"

"The end of this month will be soon."

"Oh, that's great. Thank you, kind-hearted knight. Besides, I really hope you can execute those thugs, they will only bring you trouble."

"Yeah, easy to say."

Field agreed verbally and closed the door with his servants.

Hearing the footsteps getting further and further away, Growa's face immediately dropped.

She paced rapidly back and forth in the room.

"Damn you bastard, you disobeyed me and restricted my personal freedom. This place is so shabby, I want to go home, immediately!" The woman punched the bed and cursed in a small and sinister voice, "Hmph , you bitch, please bear with you for two days, wait until I get home, and see how I can kill you."

"Any normal man would kneel down in front of me immediately and escort me in a gilded carriage."

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she even cursed in a low voice.

However, what she didn't know was that everything she said, even in a low voice, was clearly heard by the corrupted swordsman hiding in the dark.

These special monsters, as first-order life forms, have astonishingly good hearing.

In the evening, the great swordsman told Field, who was designing the brick kiln, the news.

"Grass!"

When Field learned that he was being reviled, he immediately cursed the quintessence of China.

"What the hell? If I hadn't saved her, she would have died. She turned around and was about to bite me. Even if she doesn't repay the favor, she still scolds me." Field was very unhappy. He paced back and forth in the study, pulled out his long sword and thought about it. After a moment, he calmly put the sword back into its scabbard and said, "No, just kill her like this. It's too cheap for her. She has already eaten several of my meals."

"How about... after being tortured, they will be directly rewarded to the villagers, and then they will be pregnant at high intensity for 24 hours to increase the population of the territory... How perverted."

Field was so angry that he thought wildly, but immediately rejected this perverted idea.

"No, I can't imitate those perverts. Besides, those women give birth to bad seeds."

"Dong dong~"

There was a knock on the study door.

"Sir, the tea you requested is here." The maid's voice came from outside the house.

"Hold on."

Waving his hand at the corrupted swordsman who was kneeling on one knee, the swordsman stood up and jumped out of the window. But if you look carefully, you can see the black corrupted fighting spirit on his palms sticking to the wall. The whole person looked like a big spider crawling away against the wall.

If this scene were seen by the citizens, they would definitely be frightened to death.

Field cleared his throat: "Please come in."

The maid who came in was the new Zhu Kui. She held the plate, took a deep breath, walked slowly to the table, put the tea cup down, and carefully adjusted the position of the cup rim.

"Sir, do you have any other instructions?" Zhu Kui rubbed her knees together and asked with a slightly expectant voice.

"No, if I need anything else, I will call you." Field took out his quill, dipped it in ink, and planned to write down the steps and precautions for making bricks. Suddenly something occurred to him, and he waved to the maid who left in disappointment. He waved, "Wait a minute."

"May I ask what I want to do?"

Zhu Kui was very pleasantly surprised, and she seemed to be in disagreement with her clothes.

"I suddenly remembered a recipe for a drink. Tell the chef this recipe and ask him to help me research it."

"Ah...okay."

The maid was embarrassed.

"First boil some tea leaves and water together, pour the boiled tea into the milk and sugar and continue to boil, and finally add a little cheese and salt. Well, that's it, you let Mr. Plate try it a few times, I will start from I won’t force people to do it all at once.”

"Hiss~ Sir, this milk tea is too expensive." Zhu Kui listened for a moment.

Sugar and salt are expensive enough, let alone tea. There is almost no tea cultivation in the Griffin Empire, and the rare tea trees are only used as curiosities in the royal gardens, so the price of tea is measured in gold coins.

"Yes, it's expensive. Tell the chef to take it easy."

After the maid left, Field wrote "cultivation of tea trees" on his "Nightfall Territory Development Plan".

"The cost is very high, but I have to master this technology first. If I need it one day, I can have it."

As the saying goes, there is a specialization in the arts, and it is impossible for one's mind to be filled with the achievements of all walks of life in the previous life. It is enough to know the general direction and leave the practice to the people.

It would be too tiring to use all your hands and brains, and it would be bad if you arouse the suspicion of someone with evil intentions. After all, there is magic here.

"Speaking of this, it's time to enact some incentives." Field continued to add to the development plan. "Discover unfamiliar stones and plants and submit them to the lord. After they are identified as valuable, you can get rewards of coins and food."
