I really want to die

The moment Su Chen opened his eyes, he thought he was still in the original world, in the room on the cliff of the Demon Cult, but he clearly remembered lying in Dongfang Que's arms and falling asleep with a peaceful smile.

When I looked carefully, I realized that this was not the room of the Devil's Cult, although the walls were all solid rocks.

This is a castle.

Looking out through the narrow window, the sky is gloomy, and you can see the cylindrical watch tower with guard soldiers in silver armor and holding spears.On the wall of the room, hung a complete adult tiger skin and an iron sword studded with gems. On the bed, it was covered with thick fur, which was very warm.

Su Chen put on a heavy fur coat and got out of bed, went to the window, and looked down at the situation outside.He is currently in a relatively high position, probably the highest place in the castle except for the watchtower, so when he glances over, he can basically have a panoramic view of the entire castle.

The castle is built on top of a cliff, surrounded by thick and high walls, and below is a deep and narrow rushing river. Once the suspension bridge is pulled up, the castle becomes an isolated and isolated place.

In addition to the main building, there are many houses scattered within the high walls, including warehouses, stables, churches, and some relatively simple-looking houses.

Farther away, there are manors and villages, large tracts of cultivated land, pasture land and woodland.

It looks like a period when handicraft industry and agricultural civilization coexisted. Judging from the defense of the castle and the fortress, there should be some wars. Other than that, it seems to be a normal world.

Su Chen made a preliminary assessment in his heart.

When Su Chen went out of the room, everyone who met him along the way retreated to one side, bent down to salute, and respectfully called: "My lord."

Su Chen walked all the way to a magnificent palace, which was made of huge stones.On both sides of the long aisle, portraits of people are hung on the stone walls one by one, some are single busts, some are couples, and there is an oriental lady in a long dress sitting with a baby in her arms. On the chair, behind her a young blond noble man stood with one hand on the back of the chair.

This painting of the family portrait is hung at the outermost place, that is to say, people who walk into this aisle will first see the painting of the family of three.

"Your Excellency has come to see the portraits of the master and madam again."

When Su Chen was looking at the standing painting and thinking about the problem, an old voice came from behind. Su Chen turned around and saw a gray-haired old man walking slowly with a cane.When the old man came to Su Chen, he first bowed to Su Chen and saluted him. Although he looked quite old, his hair was neatly combed and his clothes were very elegant. .

"Master and Madam have been away for three years, and it will be three years since your lord inherited the castle and became the lord. After the adult ceremony is held in two years, you can accept the official conferment from the church and the king. Ling should also feel relieved that old Charlie can really retire."

Su Chen glanced at him, silently retracted his gaze, and continued to stare at the portrait on the wall.He had previously guessed that these portraits should be the previous owners of the castle, and now he has confirmed it from the old man.

After a moment of silence, Su Chen whispered: "Old Charlie, tell me the story of these portraits."

Charlie was not surprised by Su Chen's request at all. He glanced at Su Chen with loving eyes, looked at the paintings on the wall with him, and began to talk about it.

"When the master inherited the castle, he was about the same age as your lord is now. At that time, the old lord had just died in battle, and many vassals also died in battle with the old lord. The castle suddenly became depleted of talents and empty of armaments. There are lords from other places who want to come. After capturing our castle, the lord summoned all the knights in the fief, and issued a notice, no matter if they are tenants or servants, as long as they can follow the lord to fight, they will get the land and even grant knight titles and titles. As a result, the lord Leading the vassals and knights in the territory, repelling all the invading enemies, and successfully completed the transfer and succession of power."

"On the fifth year after the master took over the castle, he met your mother, a beautiful and gentle lady from the East. The master fell in love with his wife madly, pursued him passionately, and married his wife soon after. The lady is a The daughter of a winemaker, her father is a winemaking guild owner and has his own workshop. At first, the wife's father did not agree with her daughter marrying a lord who owns a castle, thinking that the disparity in status would not allow her to happy daughter." Charlie paused at this point, showing a brisk and reminiscent smile as he did every time he mentioned this past event.

"The master entered the workshop as an apprentice and learned how to make wine from the brewer. Until three years later, the wine brewed by the master was better than the brewer's own. He finally agreed to marry his daughter to the master. The master and his wife got married Since then, I have lived happily ever after, and the master’s habit of brewing wine has also been preserved. Every year, I will brew a batch of wine for my wife. Soon after, I had you, young master, and the master gave you the same oriental name as my wife. That At that time, the air in the castle was like the aroma of wine overflowing after opening, it was really mellow and sweet."

Su Chen listened quietly, hearing a trace of nostalgia and a touch of sentimentality from Charlie's words.

Leaning on crutches, Charlie moved slowly behind Su Chen, telling him the stories of the protagonists in the portraits on the wall in soft words.From Charlie's narration, Su Chen also had a general understanding of the history of this castle and the history of the whole world.

It has been nearly 300 years since the castle was established. It has experienced the baptism of many wars and the wind and rain for a long time.Under the corners of the city wall, it has been covered with thick moss. Although it has been renovated many times, many of the exposed bricks and stones are also mottled by wind erosion.

When he came to the innermost portrait, Charlie's tone and expression became more solemn.

"The original owner of the castle was the 'Elector' who had the power to elect the king, and he himself enjoyed the power of the king. He built the castle single-handedly, owned countless manors, and made a series of decrees to make the castle in the It will be passed down from generation to generation by his descendants.”

"So——" Charlie turned his head to look at Su Chen, with expectations and faint encouragement in his eyes, "Although my lord only has the title of marquis now, don't forget the glory of your ancestors, as well as your noble bloodline and birth."

Regarding the old man's expectations, Su Chen could only be silent.Given his age of sixteen and his situation alone, it would be nice to be able to defend the castle. Should he follow the example of the previous owner of the castle and issue a call-up order to confiscate a large amount of land and recruit more knights to serve Serve yourself?

Charlie is the old steward of the castle. Counting Su Chen, he has served three generations of lords.In fact, as early as the previous lord, that is, when Su Chen's grandfather was in power, he had sealed off a piece of land for Charlie so that he could go to his own land to be a small lord.However, Charlie only let his son, who had already married, go to the land to manage and manage, and he continued to stay in the castle to serve and be loyal to the owner of the castle. Nearly 30 years have passed since he stayed.

A few days later, accompanied by the old housekeeper's youngest son, Thomas, who had just become a knight three years ago, Su Chen went to the nearest manor to inspect.

The carriage rumbled across the suspension bridge, and the timid would not dare to lift the curtain to look at the two sides at this moment.Because you can only see the long and narrow abyss, and the turbulent river below, the carriage seems to be floating on the cliff, which can make people sweat coldly.

Su Chen lowered the curtain with a calm expression, sometimes he had to be impressed by the wisdom and perseverance of the ancients.To build a military castle on such a steep terrain, the difficulties and obstacles to be overcome are unimaginable. It takes a lot of manpower to move the stones and wood, and the time it takes is measured in decades or decades.

Therefore, the completion of each castle is often the efforts of several generations.

The carriage drove all the way, passing through the country's field path, and Su Chen saw several pastures scattered on the rolling grassland from a distance, the cultivated land separated by slender grass dikes, planted with various grains, and the church with a steeple.

After the carriage stopped, the door was opened from the outside, and Su Chen got out of the carriage wearing boots and stepping on the pedals. The steward and chief supervisor of the manor came forward, and Thomas reached out to stop him.

Thomas kept his father's words in mind, he must protect the lord when he is outside, and not allow anyone to approach the noble lord at will, so he stopped the manor steward and supervisor who wanted to go forward.His mouth was tightly closed, he didn't speak, and there was no expression on his face, looking like a cold and hard stone.

The steward and the chief inspector took a careful look at Su Chen's face, and saw that the young lord also had a face that showed no emotion, so he immediately took a break from his thoughts, stood a few steps away, and reported respectfully. Various situations in the manor recently.The content of the report mainly includes various harvests and outputs of the manor, as well as the daily performance of the tenant farmers.

Su Chen listened without hesitation, showing neither satisfaction nor dissatisfaction. The stewards and chief supervisors of the manor couldn't figure out his thoughts, and their words became more cautious and subtle.

After the general situation was finished, the chief supervisor, who was the representative of the tenant slave, glanced at Su Chen secretly, and asked in a cautious tone:

"My lord, the harvest has not been very good recently. A fox came here a while ago, took away and killed a lot of chickens, and several farmers suffered serious losses. Can you see if the physical goods delivered this month can—" Finally He didn't say anything, but just looked at Su Chen with a begging look.

Su Chen walked slowly in the manor along the main road, glanced randomly, and looked at the bakeries, mills, wineries and shops one by one.Although this manor is not big, it independently produces all food, clothes, tools, and other economic goods. Except for a part of the goods produced, it is handed over to the lord of the castle, and the rest can be sold in towns.

"Where's that fox?" Su Chen didn't look at the leader, and asked him calmly.

The leader was stunned for a moment, realized that Su Chen was asking about the whereabouts of the fox, and hurriedly replied: "That fox is too cunning, we caught it several times but failed to catch it, and it ran away."

Su Chen gave a faint "Oh" and stopped talking.The leader couldn't wait for the next sentence, his face was full of question marks, what did the "oh" mean?

Walking casually like this, Su Chen came to the slaughterhouse by accident and happened to witness the live version of the slaughter.

A black pig was tightly bound to a wooden plank. Despite this, the rather large black pig struggled very hard, and the plank creaked.Two strong men held the pig waiting to be slaughtered one after the other. The butcher showed a sharp and shiny knife and stabbed it hard at the neck of the pig that had been washed and washed.

The black pig on the chopping board let out a shrill scream, and the blood from its neck gushed out like a fountain, and was caught one after another by the iron basin placed below, only sprinkling on the ground.

Su Chen blinked his eyes, before he had time to think anything, he felt his eyes darken, his head fell forward, and fell into someone's arms.Su Chen's vision was blurred, and he only raised his eyelids before completely losing consciousness.

The author has something to say:

Originally, I wanted to take the fresh campus route, so that it would be convenient to talk about love, and it would be a pure love, so I thought of the title: the blood-sick junior & the blood-sucking senior.

——However, when writing the unit outline with the title, the brain hole can't be stretched at all!After holding back for two hours, I finally had to give up and choose the medieval European background... Then, the stalks of the two unit stories came out.

Am I really not suitable for the little fresh love style?
