I really want to die

Su Chen personally led the team to the Viscount Mainz's manor. Before leaving the castle, he casually glanced at the crowd and saw Augustus in the queue.

Su Chen asked Charlie that August did not go back to the castle with the others. In fact, no one knew when he left the team and when he came back.

So, is it possible that the person who saved him yesterday was this person?

Su Chen lowered his eyes and stepped on the carriage.

The soldiers of the castle surrounded the manor and searched it inside and out. The captain of the Cavaliers came to Su Chen and reported:

"My lord, I couldn't find the Viscount Mainz. I asked the servants in the manor and said that people have seen him since the morning."

"Missing?" Su Chen frowned slightly, "Thomas?"

"We found him in the dungeon with serious injuries and is receiving medical treatment."

Su Chen nodded, did not speak again, and looked up at the manor.

The roses in the front yard are still in full bloom, and the breeze is blowing, bringing a rich and fragrant fragrance.

The servants of the manor stood outside in line, looking at the armored soldiers. There was no expression of fear on their faces, but a little nervous and confused about the unknown.

After the entire manor was searched several times, many treasures of the Viscount Mainz were found, and a cellar was also found.At the end of the long passage in the cellar, there was a gorgeous coffin inlaid with gemstones. The coffin cover was half removed, revealing an empty coffin covered with red velvet inside.

Su Chen glanced at the captain of the Cavaliers. The captain of the Cavaliers walked up to the servants of the manor and said loudly: "The Viscount Mainz intends to harm his lord. His title and fief have now been taken back, and his vassals have been cancelled." Qualification, exile out of the territory. If you dare to enter the country privately, you will be sentenced to death if you are caught. Therefore, people who find the criminal Mainz, whether they report it or catch them in person, will be rewarded from the lord's castle. Title, land, Depending on the size of the credit, you can get it." Speaking of this, the captain of the Cavaliers swept his eyes over everyone, and raised his voice and said:

"All those who originally belonged to the Viscount Mainz, whether civilians or slaves, will be free, and you can choose your own future life."

After his last sentence fell, it immediately caused a shock among the many servants.These people, on the one hand, were surprised by the sudden and rapid downfall of Viscount Mainz; on the other hand, they were a little dizzy from the sudden falling pie.

These people looked at each other in blank dismay, and after hesitating for a while, someone asked cautiously: "Mr, what does your lord mean, we can leave here?"

"Of course, this manor was taken back by the lord and will be redistributed, and you can choose to stay or stay according to your own wishes."

The person who asked that sentence didn't seem to believe it. He looked at Su Chen, and many people also looked at him at this time. This young man was the most powerful person in the room.

Su Chen looked at these people, and said solemnly: "I swear in the name of the Marquis, everything you heard just now is not half false. I will send someone to take over this manor again. Those who do not want to leave, will Sign an employment contract with you, and you will pay labor, some goods and money, and then you can share a piece of land in the manor to live on."

After hearing Su Chen's words, many people showed expressions of disbelief at first, and then some people began to cry, and cried louder and louder, and the crying became more and more uncontrollable. In the end, they almost broke down and cried bitterly.

In the beginning, one person cried, and gradually almost everyone began to cry, crying uncontrollably, crying out all the sufferings they had suffered, crying out that they were finally freed.

Su Chen frowned even tighter. Judging from the way Mainz chopped off people's heads at will because the guests didn't drink yesterday, the servants in this manor must have had a hard time, quite miserable.

Thinking this way in my heart, I didn't expect to underestimate the degree of abnormality of Mainz.

Among the weeping crowd, there was a maid who seemed to be about twenty years old. After covering her face and crying bitterly for a while, she suddenly ran towards the rose bushes like crazy.She fell to her knees on the ground, with her hands on the rose branch, regardless of the thorns on it piercing her skin, and the bright red blood flowed down her snow-white arms.

"Alice, Alice, we are saved, we can finally go home."

She cried and shouted, her voice was full of grief, she was choked up several times and could not speak.And after her, several servants rushed to the rose bushes, some knelt down and wept bitterly; .

Su Chen was confused. At this moment, an older servant standing next to him sighed deeply and said in a heavy tone: "My lord must not know why they are like this. In fact, among us people Not all of them were slaves, some owed heavy debts and could only sell themselves to redeem their debts; , and most of the young girls in the manor are like this."

"He is not alone, he is simply a devil. He specializes in killing people for fun, and uses various means to coerce captives into submission. Most of the time, he threatens the lives of his family members or close people. As long as he resists a little or behaves unfavorably People who are killed will be killed, and sometimes they will be killed for no reason at all. Those who were killed will be buried under the rose bush." ​​The elderly servant pointed to the rose garden , His eyes did not seem to be looking at a beautiful garden, but like looking at a tomb full of rotting bones.

"Because that man said that people, especially young and beautiful girls, are the best fertilizer for these beautiful roses."

Hearing the last sentence, Su Chen couldn't help but think of what he said to himself when he first met Viscount Mainz.

"Because I used the best fertilizer to cultivate them, I was able to present such a beautiful sight to the Marquis."

Thinking about it now, it's creepy.

In order to bring Mei Zici to justice as soon as possible, Su Chen mobilized the power of the church.After knowing what Mainz had done, Bishop Francis ruled him as heresy, excommunicated him from the church, and issued an arrest warrant for Mainz in the name of the bishop.

Therefore, Mainz is now equivalent to a fugitive with a double arrest warrant.

All the land and manors under his name were taken back, and the people on the land, those who had families, returned home, and those who had nowhere to go, signed new contracts and stayed in place as tenants or servants to continue working and living.It's just that the object of their service this time has become the largest lord in this territory, that is, Su Chen.

As for the vampire, Su Chen never found it, but he didn't appear to harm anyone again, just like when he appeared, he disappeared suddenly.Su Chen asked the Cavaliers to continue patrolling for a few days, and finally withdrew to the castle.

After returning from the Viscount Mainz's manor, Su Chen made a decision - he transferred Augustus to his side and became the personal servant of the castle lord.

The origin of August is a mystery, but Su Chen has a feeling that he will not hurt himself, and the person who rescued him from Viscount Mainz last time is probably August.Su Chen didn't know what happened that night, so he had to find the person who brought him back to the castle.

After bringing Augustus by his side, Su Chen found more contradictions in this person.

For example, when he appeared, he was obviously a low-level servant, but somehow he entered the castle and became a servant. However, his every move did not look like a servant, but more like a nobleman, who had a great status and great power. noble.

For another example, he is young, he looks no more than 20 years old, but there is always a kind of calmness and vicissitudes far beyond his age.Su Chen himself is a person whose mental age does not match his appearance, so it is easy to see whether this person is pretending to be deep, or has really gone through vicissitudes.In particular, the loneliness that has been honed over a long period of time and carved into the bone marrow, as well as the tranquility that is revealed when you occasionally raise your eyes, are not something that young people in their teens and 20s can have.

In a word, this Augustusge is not an ordinary person, and it is more reassuring to observe it by his side.

As for the words that people who don't understand, the more they want to stay away, Su Chen selectively ignored.

Ever since he had a personal attendant, Su Chen often used it unconsciously.

"August, after reading this book, put it back on the shelf for me."

"Augusse, I need to inspect two manors today, you go with me."

"August, the crows outside are too annoying, drive them all away."

"August, you've run out of honey, go get another jar, or you might as well raise a batch of bees in the manor."

"August..."

"August..."

And Augusto’s answer has always been only one sentence:

"Yes, my lord."

After a period of time like this, everyone in the castle knew that there was a young, handsome and capable personal servant beside the lord.

Although the personal servant is a servant, if he is lucky or the master is more generous, he can grant free status and land, and even directly grant titles to vassals.This is the case with Charlie, the old housekeeper of the castle. He has already obtained a free status and owns a lot of land. Even his eldest son was bestowed the title of baron by the previous lord.

In order to repay the kindness of several lords, the old butler said that he would serve in the castle until his death, so he never followed his eldest son to the fief, and called his youngest son to the castle to be the lord's bodyguard, and won the title of knight soon after.

Charlie has been watching August's performance. Secretly, he has regarded this young man as his most suitable future successor, so he will take care of him both openly and secretly.

For some young unmarried girls in the castle, it is too difficult to marry a noble lord, and the lord is naturally even more unthinkable for them, but like Augustus, who is good-looking, capable, and has great potential , someone who may have great achievements in the future, so he became their first choice for a wealthy son-in-law.However, there is only one such golden turtle son-in-law, and there are too many competitors, so there is a battle without gunpowder in the castle.

Su Chen felt that the recent atmosphere in the castle was a little strange, or that the people in the castle looked at him a little strangely.In the past, no matter where he went, he always bent down to avoid the sight. Although he didn't look openly now, he always felt that there was a furtive gaze falling on him.It's just that when he was alone, this kind of sight seemed to disappear again, and when he appeared with Augustus, those sights would gather on him again.

After several days like this, Su Chen finally realized that those furtive eyes were not looking at him, but the person behind him.

Su Chen: "..."

Looking back at the people behind her, they were pretty good-looking, but as for these girls who usually walk and wish they could use a ruler to measure them, did they suddenly abandon their reserve and become enthusiastic and bold?

Later, I accidentally saw a girl holding a hand-made petal cake and giving it to August. The girl lowered her head shyly and dared not look directly at her, but the latter walked straight from her side as if she hadn’t seen it. walked over.

At that time, Su Chen couldn't bear to see the expression on the girl's face.

"My lord?" Aware of Su Chen's gaze, Augustus looked at him puzzled.

Su Chen hesitated for a while, and rarely asked gossip: "What do you want from your future partner?"

It is estimated that all the girls of the right age in the castle have taken a fancy to the fat of Auguste, and even Charlie mentioned a few words in private, saying that he wants to marry one of his distant nieces to Auguste, so that he can start a family here. It is estimated that he will be able to settle down to work in the castle for a long time.

Maybe it was unexpected that Su Chen would ask this question, or maybe it was because he had never thought about this question, Augustus paused, and after a moment of silence, he slowly replied:

"Connected with my blood."

This, do you actually want incest?

Su Chen, who still doesn't know anything, thought this way in shock.

The author has something to say: This story can actually be called: "A Vampire's Path to Promotion from Servant to Vassal"
