The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

Xia Zuoyi slowly opened his eyes, and the bright light refracted in through the gaps in the weeds piled up at the entrance of the cave, allowing him to clearly confirm his current situation.

He saw a boy leaning against the mountain wall and dozing with his head down. He was covered with a piece of clothing, and beside him was a slightly worn-out cowhide water bag.

Obviously, he was rescued.

Xia Zuoyi moved with difficulty, and the young man was awakened by a slight sound.

The young man quickly grasped the hoe with one hand and picked up the stone with the other. He first observed the situation outside the cave, and then turned his head suddenly when he realized it.

"you're awake?!"

Xia Zuoyi nodded: "Well, I want to sit up."

He is now in severe pain all over his body and has no feeling in his right arm.

Hearing this, Gibran Kino got up and walked over, carefully lifting him up.

Xia Zuoyi: "Thank you for saving me."

"this is nothing……"

Gibran Quino chose his words carefully: "Do you remember what happened last night? You seem to have rolled down the hillside...Does your body hurt?"

There were many scratches and redness on the exposed white and tender skin of the little nobleman.

As the night passed, it became more and more obvious, alternately blue and purple, and the contrast was strong, making people feel that the pain would intensify with a light touch.

Xia Zuoyi said: "I remember, it hurts."

His face was pale from the pain, and his lips lost their color, but he didn't cry or make a fuss, and leaned against the mountain wall quietly.

I don't know how Judith and the others are doing, whether they are safe now...

Trying to ignore the physical discomfort, Xia Zuoyi began to think about how to deal with the next situation.

Since the main target of the bandits was him, they would not give up searching for his traces until his death was confirmed and his body was seen.

Xia Zuoyi looked at the boy in front of him and said, "Little brother at the market, can you do me a favor?"

He can only turn to the boy for help.

Gibran Kino was startled, the little noble actually remembered himself.

"How do you want me to help you?"

He thought to himself, the voice of the little nobleman sounded soft and waxy, and his moist caramel eyes looked more cute and cute the more he looked at them.

Xia Zuoyi took out a badge engraved with thorn roses from her arms, handed it over and said, "Leave Mount Parr and go to Wessus to find the patrolling knights to come to rescue."

Commoners and slaves living in Wessus know what the emblem of the Designia family is.

Gibran Quino was shocked by the fact that the little nobleman turned out to be the Count of Designia.

After a while, he took the badge and clenched it tightly, and finally found a voice to ask, "But you... What are you doing, my lord Earl?"

Xia Zuoyi: "I'll stay here and wait for your return."

If you take him with you, it will undoubtedly affect the speed of the boy's request for help. Besides, the boy will be safe if you are separated from him.

Gibran Quinot: "You believe me?"

"I believe in you, you saved me."

Gibran Kino: "It's about 100 feet from here to Wissus, and I'll be back in two hourglasses."

"Don't be afraid, I will bring knights to rescue you."

After speaking, he turned and left quickly.

The commonly used timekeeping tools on the Western Continent are hourglasses or water sundials.

The other is a self-ringing clock driven by a heavy hammer. It is large and cannot be moved. It is usually placed in the center of a big city and is expensive. There are no rural places like Weiss.

Xia Zuoyi was a little surprised that the young man was able to roughly and accurately tell the distance from Parshan to Wissas and the time it took to go back and forth.

It seems that he is very familiar with the terrain and orientation of Paar Mountain.

Before the boy left, he carefully covered the entrance of the cave. The light in the cave was slightly dim, but it did not hinder vision.

Xia Zuoyi lightly squeezed her right arm, confirmed the position of the dislocation, and borrowed the reaction force from the mountain wall—with a "click", the joint reset.

He used to, no, it should be said that his job in his previous life was a documentary video director who recorded wild survival. Of course, the "actor" who appeared in the documentary was also him.

He travels around all the year round, going up mountains and seas at home and abroad, and surviving in the wilderness are daily routines.

Injuries are common, dislocation is the lightest, and the most serious one was bitten by a venomous snake, which almost killed her. Fortunately, she was rescued in time to escape the danger.

In the end, when he returned to China to receive the award, he was hit by a car and died while saving lives on the road.

After Xia Zuoyi leaned against the mountain wall to rest for a while, she checked the reputation points accumulated during this period, and there were a total of 28 points.

He poked open the white building icon and searched for the keyword "Chinese herbal medicine". Among the listed books, he exchanged for a copy of "Compendium of Pictures and Detailed Explanations of Chinese Herbal Medicine".

The rest of the books include "Chinese Herbal Medicine Formula", "Chinese Herbal Medicine Ointment Encyclopedia"... There are about 20 books listed.

Studying medicine can save lives.

In the future, he can be a qualified alchemist with real materials.

At least he can't let the doctors of this era use hammers and drills to use their own brains, use leeches to suck their own blood, enema iron cauterization for minor illnesses, amputation for serious illnesses, fumigation, and pray for confession and drink holy water when they are not ill.

Improving the medical situation must be focused on the infrastructure plan.

"Bless the Creator God, the Earl will be fine." Kelly prayed.

After Xia Zuoyi rolled down the hillside, Fernandi Edward led the remaining knights out of the siege, avoiding the pursuit of the "robber" while the night was getting darker.

Be alert to the other party's raids all night long.

They tried to sneak back to the original place, and searched for the earl along the hillside, but they found the unconscious Kelly first.

It was bright now, but Xia Zuoyi was still missing.

Judit was anxious.

"Is there no way to go down the mountain and go to Weishas for help?"

The knight who went to scout the situation before shook his head: "The gang of robbers are currently blocking the mountain road leading to Wessus. If they want to go down the mountain, they can only face each other head-on and break through forcibly, but the number of them is more than us..."

Moreover, half of their casualties are now, and their combat effectiveness is insufficient.

Thinking of this, the knight looked at Fernandi Edward complicatedly, but he didn't expect that it would be a slave who led them to survive.

Judith: "Any other way?"

The knight said: "Turn back."

"Cross over another mountain road, but this way, it will take too long, and the Earl's situation may be even more dangerous..."

"More importantly, the patrolling knights guarding Wissus can only be mobilized with badges engraved with thorn roses."

Judit's hair was disheveled, his spirit was tense, his clothes were stained with blood, and his eyes were red and dry due to his impatience and worry.

After a while, he asked, "How confident are you to break through by force?"

The knight glanced at Fernandi Edward.

Judith turned to look at him too.

Fernandi Edward leaned against the tree silently, the big sword in his hand was stained with blood that had solidified and dried up.

He whispered hoarsely: "Less than [-]%, it is lucky to be able to break through yesterday."

"The strength of the enemy and us is very different. Besides, their purpose is not to make money, but to kill us all in Mount Pa'er. They came prepared."

A dull atmosphere is spreading.

At this moment, the knight who was watching the bandits suddenly ran back and shouted.

"Someone brought patrol knights to the rescue!"

in the cave.

Xia Zuoyi folded the jacket left by the boy, and put the cowhide water bag beside her.

He checked the injuries on his body and found that most of them were red, swollen and bruised. He would recover after a few days of recuperation, but it took about a month to lift the dislocated right arm.

A long time has passed.

Xia Zuoyi moved to a position very close to the entrance of the cave, and saw that the sun in the sky was about to rise to the center.

I don't know if the boy made it to Wissus and found the patrolling knights...

"Where did you say that kid was hiding? I searched all night and couldn't find it."

"Who knows, stop talking nonsense. This time the task is not completed, do you want to go back and receive the punishment?"

Suddenly there were two men talking outside.

Xia Zuoyi suddenly held her breath, pursed her lips tightly and picked up the hoe the boy had placed at the entrance of the cave.

"Of course I don't... Wait, do you think there is a cave there?" A man with a black cloth mask pointed his sword at Xia Zuoyi's hiding place.

The front of the cave is covered with messy and tall thorn grass, and the inside is pitch black, and there is a tree next to it to cover it. If you don't pay attention carefully, you will indeed be overlooked.

"It seems to be... go, go and have a look."

…………

Xia Zuoyi's heart beat violently.

The two men got closer and closer, when the scimitar was about to cut through the weeds, a sword was thrown and pierced into a man's chest from behind.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere.

The other person was shocked, and then wanted to rush into the cave quickly.

But Fernandi Edward jumped forward like a lion, and the attack of the great sword was unstoppable, and he was killed in front of the cave within a few strokes.

Gibran Kino successfully brought the patrolling knights, and happened to "encounter" with the robbers blocking the mountain road.

Fernandi Edward and others united with the patrolling knights he brought to eliminate the robbers.

I wanted to keep one or two alive for interrogation later, but seeing that something was wrong, the remaining robbers took the opportunity to kill each other.

Afterwards, Gibran Kino brought them here.

"Your Earl!" Judit couldn't hold back his excitement and worry and shouted.

The wattles covering the entrance of the cave were slowly pushed aside.

A small figure stepped out. The white shirt with a lotus leaf collar was already messy, covered with grass leaves and dirt, and was damaged in many places, as was the black shorts.

The "tragedy" of Xia Zuoyi's exposed white arms and calves made Judit's nose sore.

He quickly walked over and knelt down on one knee: "My lord, how are you?"

Xia Zuoyi: "I have nothing to worry about, Judit."

Judith lowered his head, and gently held Xia Zuoyi's small hand to his forehead: "My lord, please don't push me away from now on, your safety is more important than my life..."

At first, he only wanted to offer his loyalty, but at this moment and even in the future, he can dedicate his life to Xia Zuoyi Designia.

The soft little hand left his palm suddenly, and pressed it on his head when Judit was stunned.

"But I hope you can always be my housekeeper."

After a long time, Judith said: "As you wish, my lord, I will."

Before returning to the castle.

Xia Zuoyi asked Gibran Quino what reward he wanted.

Gibran Kino licked his dry lips: "...Anything is fine?"

Xia Zuoyi: "Yes."

"May I be your valet?"

Gibran Kino wanted a stable life, and he and his younger brother no longer had to worry about food and clothing.

Xia Zuoyi: "If your family agrees..."

"I have but one brother, my lord."

Xia Zuoyi nodded: "You can bring your brother to the castle."

Gibran Kino immediately rejoiced: "Thank you! Earl!"

Xia Zuoyi asked a knight to go back with Gibran Quino to pack his things.

They returned to the castle first.

The Earl went out well, but came back with injuries, his poor appearance frightened the servants.

Not to mention the injuries and deaths of the craftsmen and knights who followed.

Xia Zuoyi asked people to collect the corpses of the craftsmen and knights, settle the injured and give them or their families generous compensation.

After everything is done.

Fernandi Edward was called to the study.

Xia Zuoyi: "What do you think of the attacker's identity?"

Fernandi Edward: "They are not like robbers, but more like a group of well-trained knights."

The old Earl Matt Designia lived in the castle and was addicted to alchemy. He rarely even went to Wissus, and it was impossible to provoke any enemies.

A group of knights disguised themselves as robbers, and the time to attack them happened to be the time when he offered the sea salt method to the king... It couldn't be such a coincidence.

Xia Zuoyi said: "Judit, is Bivis Eliot's territory directly entrusted by the king?"

Judith was startled, and immediately realized: "No, my lord, Earl Bivis Elliott's superior lord is the Duke of Bath Ridges, you suspect..."

Xia Zuoyi: "It's not doubt."

"I'm sure now that Bass Ridges has taken advantage of it. Fort Comoy is adjacent to Wissus across Paar Mountain. What could be more convenient than letting the leader of Fort Comoy take the lead?"

On the way back to the territory, Count Designia was robbed by a group of robbers and died unfortunately.

Wissas has no lord, let alone other heirs, and will definitely be taken back by the king.

However, sea salt drying still has to continue, and the biggest possibility is to entrust Weishas to other people again.

No need to say who this person is.

The old king relied most heavily on the Duke of Bath Ridges.

It's a pity that even if the truth of the matter is analyzed, they will not be able to testify against an earl or even a duke in the absence of evidence.

I can only swallow this bad breath first.

But it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but it is never too late for a villain to take revenge.

He was neither a gentleman nor a villain, so he took an intermediate value and first tried to find a way to get revenge on Earl Bevis Elliott.

Fort Comoi is his next goal to light up.

Xia Zuoyi: "Fernandi Edward, do you want to get rid of your slave status?"

Fernandi Edward raised his head suddenly, his eyes flickered, and he said in a low voice for a long time: "...I think."

Xia Zuoyi: "You deserve credit for saving me, but I don't know what happened to you before. I hope you can tell the truth and don't hide it."

Fernandi Edward was silent for longer this time.

Xia Zuoyi waited patiently.

He finally said: "As you know, I am a Gainar, and I was originally loyal to a marquis lord of the Gainar Kingdom, Bruno Green."

"I have a younger sister who depends on each other. She is very beautiful and kind. She will wait for me at home every day, but when I was fighting outside, she was brutally killed by the lord's brother..."

"The last thing I saw... was the mutilated body of my sister."

"You also know what happened after that."

He should have been executed.

But the lord spared his life by remembering his old love.

Xia Zuoyi asked softly: "Do you regret it?"

"I don't regret it. A knight fights for justice against injustice and evil, bravely faces powerful enemies, and unreservedly confronts sinners. I have not violated the spirit of chivalry."

But for his sister, he betrayed his allegiance to the lord.

Xia Zuoyi: "I don't think it was wrong for you to kill the lord's brother."

"But what if the person who killed your sister was the lord? Would you still take revenge without hesitation?"

Which would you choose between affection and loyalty?

Fernandi Edward suddenly looked at Xia Zuoyi.

He said hoarsely, "I will take revenge."

"After revenge, I will commit suicide."

Let the devil take his soul, even if he can't meet his sister.

It was quiet in the study for a while.

Xia Zuoyi: "After you get out of slavery, do you want to become a knight again?"

Fernandi Edward's pupils quivered.
