As soon as it got dark, they mixed into the castle. Since the main function of the castle is military, it is impossible for the defense here to be so loose, but no matter how powerful the guarding knights of the castle are, they are just ordinary people. How could they guard against Tausig.

As soon as he entered the castle, he was taken aback by the empty, rough, and even dirty environment inside the castle. Tausig frowned, and nimbly climbed into the tower to hide.

He originally thought that the craftsmanship of the craftsmen in this era of this world is too poor, which caused the appearance of this castle to be so rough, but he didn't expect that even the inside...

Using his arm to block the spider web that almost fell on his head, Tausig frowned again, it was so dirty.

Even if he sneaked into the castle, he didn't intend to go to Lia and Lina right away. This was not only because he hadn't figured out the environment yet, and he didn't know where Lia and Lina lived, but also because he couldn't be sure if Lina was willing to go with him. Let's go, after all, compared to him, a stranger who has no blood relationship, Liya is her own sister, isn't she?

Although the tower Tausig chose is not the commanding height of the castle, it can see the whole view of the castle, which is why Tausig chose this place.

Time passed quickly, and the sun had risen in the blink of an eye, breaking through the dark morning sun and covering the castle with a layer of golden tulle.

Even though dawn was approaching the window, the castle was still quiet, only the sound of a few servants walking around faintly echoed in the castle.

Different from the inside of the castle, because the owner has not gotten up yet, the quiet needle drop can be heard, the chirping of animals outside the castle, the noise of servants, and the sounds of knights changing shifts and training are mixed together into a chaotic mess.

As soon as these voices came out, Tausig opened his eyes in an instant with his eyes closed, and came to him in front of the narrow window of the tower, looking down.

The castle is actually divided into an inner castle and an outer castle. Compared with the inner castle used by the owner, the outer castle has large and small granaries, mills, bakeries, breweries, prayer rooms, etc., and the first mess These are the places.

Because the distance was too far, even Tausig couldn't see all the people below clearly, but even if he only saw a general idea, he could confirm that there were no Lia and Lina among these people.

If he remembered correctly, Lia seemed to have said that she was the personal maid of His Excellency the Viscount, so where should the personal maid live?

In the inner castle?

Thinking of this, he listened to the inner castle that was still as quiet as before, and Tausig decided to wait. Anyway, he has a lot of time, doesn't he?

Like the rapidly receding darkness, the sun also rose rapidly. Even though there were very few window openings in the castle, those few window openings still couldn't block the sunlight that diffused in the castle.

When the sun rose to the highest point, the owner of the castle finally woke up. With his waking up, the whole castle seemed to come alive and became noisy again.

Not in a hurry to find Lina's figure, Tausig retreated from the window, closed his eyes again, and got up.

If it is said that the owner of the castle, the Viscount Nelson, was just waking up at noon, then he was most active around the evening, and because he wanted to entertain guests, the castle today was busier than before.

Night is the best protective color. Fat candles and candles responsible for the light, not only cannot dispel the darkness, but make the darkness more treacherous. What time is better than this time, and it is easier for Tausig to act?

Like a shadow, like a ray of breeze, Tausig, who walked out of the tower, used the night to walk through the inner castle.

His luck was really good. Not long after he walked out of the tower, he saw Lina's figure, but it was a pity that Viscount Nelson was also there.

From the expressions of Viscount Nelson and Lina, it can be deduced that the relationship between them is already extraordinary, and from Lina's subtle reaction, Tausig even deduces that she is not so willing.

It's not stupid, just thinking about it, you can know what happened in the past three months. Tausig's guess was later confirmed by Lia.

Seeing Lia's envious and relieved expression, Tausig lightly raised the corners of his mouth and showed a sarcasm.Israel served people for a long time, not to mention she served a playboy.But what he didn't expect was that not only did she degenerate herself, but she even brought her own sister in.

While feeling sorry for Lina, Tausig didn't have the idea of ​​being angry at the crown and became a beauty. Tausig, who hid in the darkness again, decided to look for Lina later.

As long as she is willing, he is willing to take her out of here.

Noisy, noisy, the nobles always like to hold the banquet very late, even if the candles are faintly tired, they still eat and drink tirelessly.

Hiding in the darkness, looking at the nobles who ate and drank, retreated in the name of drunk, and continued to eat and drink after vomiting, Tausig's black eyes flashed with the flickering of the candlelight. There was a touch of treachery.

This is the so-called rich man's wine and meat stink, the road is frozen to death!

Just glanced away and looked away, Tausig followed behind Yana and walked deep into the dark corridor.

The second and third floors of the main building of the castle are mostly for the owner, as well as his family, servants, knights, entourage, etc., while the owner of the castle, his wife, and some of their personal servants mostly live in the second floor. The second floor, so after Lina exited from the lobby on the first floor, she walked to the second floor.

It stands to reason that Viscount Nelson has no rest, and his servants and personal maids have no right to rest first, but Lina is favored by Viscount Nelson, so she has this privilege.

After entering the room, she carefully put down the fat candle. Lina turned around and was about to sit down for a rest when she was frightened by the sudden appearance of a black figure at the door and wanted to scream.

Before she could scream, she was covered by a black shadow, and Lina opened her eyes wide in horror.

"it's me."

"...Your Excellency Taussig?" Hearing this familiar voice, Lina hesitated as her panic gradually receded.

It does sound like Lord Taussig, but why is Lord Taussig here?

"it's me."

"Your Excellency Taussig, it's really you? You, why are you here?" Lina, who was released by Taussig, took a step back without showing any trace, and turned to look at Taussig with surprise in her eyes.

"To find you." He said concisely. After a pause, Tausig paused, and then said, "Are you going to leave with me?"

When Tausig said that he came to find her, Lina's already relaxed expression softened a lot, but when Tausig asked her if she would go with him, Lina hesitated.

"No." Before Lina could make a decision, a voice suddenly came from the door, and with the voice, Lia walked into the house.

When facing Tausig, she had already lived up to her original fear. Liya, who felt that she had a backer, raised her chin and gave Tausig a haughty look, but she did not say anything and her footsteps no longer approached, which proved her Not as solid as it appears.

"Your Excellency Taussig, we are very grateful that you have accepted our father's care for us for nearly ten years, but thank you, I hope you will not interfere with our decision and impose your will on us." Glancing at Tausig, Liya, who was getting more and more confident, snorted coldly: "Seeing that you have raised us for ten years, I will not hold you accountable for breaking into Nelson's castle without permission, but I hope you can Leave quickly."

Liya said so much, but Tausig didn't even look at her. He only waited for her to finish talking nonsense before Tausig repeated: "Do you want to come with me?"

"I, I..." After glancing at Tausig, and then at Lia, Lina was confused.

"Lina, have you forgotten what I told you?" Before Lina could finish her embarrassment, Liya said in a low voice.

After her suggestion, she really no longer hesitated, and Lina fell into silence.

Even if Lina didn't answer, she could tell from her expression what decision she had made. Tausig nodded and said, "I see."

While talking, he took out a money bag from his underwear, and Tausig handed it to Lina: "The money you have saved for so many years, you can keep it!"

"Your Excellency Taussig..." Without taking the money bag immediately, Lina raised her head to look at Taussig, and said nah.

"Take it." Tausig said lightly.

"Thank you." From Tausig's expression, she knew that she had made up her mind, and Lina timidly accepted the money bag.

Seeing Lina accepting the bag, Tausig said again: "As Lia said, as entrusted by your father, I will take care of you until you reach adulthood. Even after you become adults, as long as you want, you can still stay by my side , but if you don’t want to, I won’t force it either.”

Ignoring Liya's immediate relief and letting out a breath without showing any traces, Tausig continued to say calmly: "Since you have made a decision, let's leave it alone! Goodbye."

Or rather, never see you again.

After saying this, he retreated to the door, and Tausig, who was slowly hiding in the darkness, disappeared into the dark corridor like a ghost after a few twitches.

Even if she listened, she didn't hear the sound of Tausig leaving. Liya, who picked up the candle and walked out, hesitated for a while, and finally walked out of the room and stood in the corridor. Of course, she didn't see Taosig. grid figure.

Seeing that Tausig had really left, Liya, whose half-hearted heart was finally put in her stomach, walked back beaming.

That man finally left, and she finally didn't have to be controlled by that man anymore.

As soon as she got back to the room, she saw Lina was thinking about something with a dejected expression on her face, and Liya's face darkened instantly.

"You don't want that man to leave?" Leah narrowed her eyes dangerously while talking.

"No, no, just, it's just..." Hearing this, she suddenly raised her head, Lina was a little nervous and shook her head in a panic.

"Just what?" Liya said coldly.

"We're doing this, isn't it, isn't it some, some..." Too much?

"Something? Is it too much? We are not his confinement, why do we have to listen to him? And didn't that man just say that he respects our choice, so what can we do? For the sake of it, let me say..." Speaking of this, she narrowed her eyes dangerously again, and a coldness flashed in Li Ya's eyes.

"You would rather leave with that poor man than stay for Viscount Nelson?"

Although their father often said that the man was a nobleman, but compared with Viscount Nelson, how does that man look like a nobleman?

No castle, no servants, not even money, is the other party really a nobleman?

Having great doubts about Tausig's noble status, Liya snorted coldly in her heart.

Even if the other party is a nobleman, he must be a down-and-out nobleman!

"No, it's not, but after all, he has raised us for so many years." Lina said.

"Understood, I understand, then wait until one of us becomes a Viscountess, and then repay him." Liya said impatiently.

Then before Lina could speak, Liya said again: "Don't you think, the most important thing we should consider now is whether we should grab Mrs. to have a baby before that lady? Or..." Before she finished speaking, her face There was a flash of coldness, and Liya looked at Lina sharply.

That Lord Taussig has never been the focus of her concern. Although the mysterious appearance of that man made her feel a little surprised, but compared to that man, she is more concerned about whether they can firmly hold the heart of His Excellency the Viscount. His wife gave birth to a child before.

"You don't want to go back to the precarious life of the past, working every day but only earning a little money. Not only can you not wear beautiful clothes, but you have to marry those dirty farmers!"

Every time she said something, Lina's face turned pale, and Liya, who had receded from her coldness and unhappiness, raised the corners of her mouth again, revealing a smile.

"So give up your extra soft-heartedness!"

Her temperament is not as ruthless as Lia's, but her kindness and weakness also make her unable to resist Lia, Lina can only choose to remain silent in the end.

Obviously they chose the most correct path, but why does she always feel like she has lost something?

Not knowing why the feeling of emptiness in her heart came from, Lina's brows were stained with melancholy again.

Then, it was not until a long time later that she realized what she had lost today, and how wrong her choice was.

Lina's momentary hesitation let Tausig know that she was not as disgusted with Viscount Nelson as she had shown, so her decision was self-evident.

Since the other party has made up his mind, why should he force it?

Therefore, after Tausig left the money, he quickly left here.

And his fate with the two sisters, Lia and Lina, also came to an end because of this separation. As for whether they can meet again in the future, it can only depend on the arrangement of heaven.

Without Lina's support, Tausig no longer intends to return to the village. After nearly ten years of delay, he decided to go to the east to see. Even if there are only strangers there, it can't stop him. After all, the homeland is hard to leave.

The vastness of land and sparse population is the truest portrayal of this era in this world. Tausig, who walked towards the rising sun, saw more forests, wastelands, and wilderness without people. Fortunately, he only needed fresh things Otherwise, this kind of aimless walking will only drive him to a dead end.

Sometimes strolling, sometimes galloping, because of the faith in his heart, Tausig did not feel lonely, but the appearance of people still made him feel happy.

Along the way, we encountered a total of three villages, but it is a pity that none of these three villages left Tausig's footsteps.

Just observing and then leaving in stealth, Tausig gradually discovered that these villages were very different from the village where Master Tom and the others lived.

The village needs to be bigger, with more land and people. There are not only churches, mills, but also bakeries in the village.

But both the mill and the bakery are owned by the local lord, that is to say, villagers who want to use the mill and the bakery have to pay taxes.

On top of that, they have a lot of extra... taxes to pay.

Yes, you read that right, not income, but taxes,

Land tax, house tax, stone mill tax, water tax, wood tax (the wood for fire can only be bought from the lord, or else you can only burn some sawdust, and there are wood residues to burn.), marriage tax, dead hand donation (that is, property inheritance tax), tithe (religious tax paid to the church), in short, you have to pay taxes here, so after paying this tax, the money in the hands of farmers is running out. We know how difficult the lives of these farmers are.

After sighing for a while, he turned and left. Tausig felt that since he couldn't help them, why should he pretend to sigh here and there.

Continuing to the east, what Tausig encountered this time is no longer a village but a town, the small town of Bitisdale (the town where Master Tom and the others sell things.) A town that is much bigger, no, it should be Said it was a city, and then appeared in front of him.

After a little thought, he walked towards this city named Goende. Although Tausig was fond of his hometown, he was not eager to return.

There were no soldiers standing guard at the city gate, and there was no need for guides or household registration to enter the city. Tausig entered the city without any hindrance, but he withdrew after a while.

With a weird and stiff expression, Tausig stared from a distance for a long time, then Fang retracted his gaze, showing an expression like =_=.

He knew from the small town of Tisdale that the town environment in this era of the world is very bad, but he didn't expect it to be this bad.
