The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

The crowd of onlookers dispersed under the driving of the knights.

Nat Keith said: "You have to know that two gold coins is already the lowest price I've given, but I bought him back from Gynar for fifteen gold coins."

"He used to be a brave knight commander, and now he is definitely the most expensive slave."

In the Western Continent, slaves were the most humble people, and the price ranged from seventy copper coins to five silver coins, and sometimes even food or things could be exchanged for slaves.

Picking slaves is like picking cargo.

In addition to looking at the slave's health and limbs, the more demanding ones also depend on the slave's appearance, knowledge, skills, etc.

Xia Zuoyi: "Fifteen gold coins are really expensive, why is he worth this price?"

Nat Keith: "Before he killed the lord's brother, he had done enough to be a baron."

Xia Zuoyi couldn't help but look at the man who was still kneeling on the ground.

The man lowered his eyes slightly, covered in blood, and did not respond to the content of the conversation between them.If it wasn't for his chest still rising and falling slowly, he would be like a silent dead person.

Why did he kill people before he was about to become a baron?

Nat Case clicked his tongue: "He is a very rare slave."

Xia Zuoyi: "Then you still want to kill him?"

"He contradicted me rudely!"

Nat Case held his head proudly: "The dignity of a nobleman cannot be offended. A single strand of my hair is worth more than fifteen gold coins."

"So you usually pay with strands of your hair?"

Xia Zuoyi opened her small mouth slightly, with a "wow—I learned it" expression on her face.

He tugged at his hair and said, "I'm an earl, and a strand of hair must be more valuable. I'll give you one, so you don't have to look for it."

"........."

Seeing him really want to pull a hair out.

Nat Case hurriedly said: "No... this is just an exaggerated metaphor, do you understand the metaphor?"

Xia Zuoyi blinked innocently and nodded, expressing her understanding.

He said: "Brother, two gold coins are still a little expensive. After all, he was injured. What if he dies if the treatment is not good?"

"Let's make it cheaper."

"...One gold coin, the lowest price."

"it is good."

Xia Zuoyi readily agreed.

Pay with one hand and "goods" with the other.

After Xia Zuoyi left with the "cargo".

Nat Case breathed a sigh of relief for no reason: "It's finally sold... Wait, why do I have to do this business?!"

And is it a loss-making business that made him lower the price again and again? !

He can obviously refuse!

After Xia Zuoyi returned to the temporary residence, she asked Judith to find a doctor.

The doctor thought he was going to see a doctor for the Earl, but he didn't expect him to treat a slave, so he couldn't help showing disdain and said: "My lord, the lives of slaves are very cheap, usually just let them fend for themselves, it's not worth wasting money exist……"

Xia Zuoyi: "Shut up, I'll give you the money, and you just do it."

Where does all this nonsense come from.

The doctor closed his mouth resentfully and began to treat the wound.

He took out a flat iron and asked for coals to be burned in a basin.

Xia Zuoyi: "What do you want to do?"

Physician: "Stop the bleeding, my lord, it can also prevent wound infection."

"..."

Xia Zuoyi somewhat overestimated the level of medical care in the Western Continent.

Just like before, if he didn't wake up from the high fever in time, he would be bloodletting or craniotomy.

He remembered that there was a report that commented on the backward Middle Ages—medicine had regressed back to primitive times, doctors may have killed more people than viruses, and they were a bunch of butchers who killed people.

The original report was not exaggerated.

Xia Zuoyi had to instruct: "Clean his wound with clean water first... Is there any herbal medicine? Painkiller? None?!! Gauze... clean cloth is also fine..."

He saw that in the box brought by the doctor, there were useless bottles and jars, drill bits, hammers, knives... strange-smelling spices, sulfur, etc.

He even saw a living, moving leech crawling around...

…………

According to Xia Zuoyi's request, the doctor bandaged all the wounds on the man's body, wiped off the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Master Earl, do you need me to leave some medicine?"

The medicine he was talking about was a cloudy bottle of prayed holy water.

"...No need, you can go."

The doctor resigned and left.

Xia Zuoyi looked at the man who had been silent since they met: "What's your name?"

"Fernandi Edward."

The man's voice was low and hoarse.

He seemed to have little respect and awe for nobles.

Even though Xia Zuoyi called a doctor to treat him, the expression on his face did not change, not even the slightest hint of gratitude.

He still had heavy shackles on his hands and feet. After the blood was washed away, he revealed a handsome and masculine face. The scar on his right cheek stretched from the side of the ear to his chin, about a finger long, adding a bit of ferocity.

Xia Zuoyi: "Can you tell me why you killed the lord's younger brother?"

Fernandi Edward: "You don't have to know."

Judith frowned: "Pay attention to your manner of speaking."

Although he didn't know what happened to Fernandi Edward, he would give up his promising position as knight commander or even the title of baron to assassinate nobles.

But he couldn't treat the Earl who saved his life with indifference and disrespect.

Fernandi Edward only continued to use a flat voice: "If you are angry, you can order someone to kill me."

Xia Zuoyi: "But I bought you with a gold coin, can you return it to me first? Or after killing you, can the body jump out of the gold coin?"

Obviously not.

Fernandi Edward became silent again.

Xia Zuoyi looked at him twice, and said, "Judit takes care of him, don't let him die."

Judith: "Yes, my lord."

After the attendant delivered the signed territory transition document, the gray Pa'er Mountain in the system interface was instantly lit up and turned into color, and the territory range data was updated.

Xia Zuoyi didn't leave in a hurry, and stayed in Wangcheng for another three or four days before slowly setting off back to Wissas.

The wound on Fernandi Edward's body had almost scabbed over during this period, and it would not be so severe that it would split open and bleed if he moved.

He followed behind the craftsmen and was guarded by knights. The shackles on his hands and feet had already been removed, so he could move easily.

While resting through the mountains.

Xia Zuoyi hiccupped and hiccupped in the carriage for an afternoon nap.

The knights and craftsmen also ate and drank enough, and each found a place to rest or gather together in twos and threes to chat.

After confirming that Xia Zuoyi was asleep, Judith walked to Fernandi Edward's side: "My lord's original plan was to leave the royal city as soon as the document was issued."

"The reason why he stayed for another four days, and the reason why he walked so slowly on the road... I believe you will not fail to feel the reason."

Fernandi Edward sat on the rock alone, raised his head and looked in the direction of the carriage silently.

He was initially determined to die.

Whether it's deliberately insulting that noble Nat Keith, or wanting to let the wound worse...

If it wasn't for the act of suicide, the devil would take away his soul, and he would have given up his life long ago.

"What does he want from me?" Fernandi Edward said hoarsely.

Judith: "You have nothing now."

Fernandi Edward laughed at himself: "You're right, so I can't figure it out."

Judith gave him a deep look: "To the Earl, I only hope that you can have a grateful heart."

When you're done, turn around and leave.

After a long time.

Fernandi Edward sighed inaudibly: "The person I was grateful for...has betrayed me..."
