Brave and unruly!

Liszt After listening to the report of the patrol team, this thought flashed through my mind. This was like hitting the lord's head - he even wanted to take advantage of the lord.

However, he did not listen to the patrol members' words.

"Sean, go ask Hunter if he demolished his own wooden house."

"Yes, my lord!"

Retainer Knight Sean returned quickly, and Gortai arrived at the same time. The result was positive. Hunter heard that the materials for repairing the wooden house would be paid for by the castle, and he threatened on the spot that he would replace every piece of wood in his wooden house. Then, out of joy, the wooden house collapsed.

"Teacher Gortai, what do you think should be done?" Liszt showed no indignation on his face, just asked lightly.

"The detestable untouchable should be beaten to death!" Gortai replied loudly, "Sir, the free citizen untouchable Hunter has evil intentions and greed. He even dares to covet the sacred and inviolable things in the castle. He should be severely punished. I think he should be demoted to a serf and whipped for another hundred years!"

There were many civilians watching around.

Hearing the voice of Gortai, they couldn't help but shrink their necks. Being demoted to serfs is not terrible. A hundred floggings can kill people alive. Especially several civilians who also tampered with their own wooden houses to take advantage. When they heard this, their legs almost started to tremble.

The greed in my heart subsided instantly, and I groped my way quietly towards home, preparing to stuff the tampered wood back...

To be honest, a hundred lashes is a bit harsh.

Sin does not lead to death.

However, Hunter's behavior made Liszt very unhappy - he worked hard to lead Flower Town to be well-off, but some people didn't know how to be grateful and wanted to take advantage.

This trend must not fuel growth and must be stifled.

"Since one of his arms has been broken, we will remember the flogging for now. After he recovers, we will divide it into two sessions, each with fifty floggings."

He glanced at the nervous civilians around him and told Gortai: "Do a good job in publicity. I don't want to find a second person doing similar things."

"As you wish, my lord!"

A cruel smile appeared on Gortai's face, "I will let these stupid civilians know whether a few pieces of wood are more important, or their own lives."

After such a commotion, Liszt had no interest in continuing to inspect the wooden house repair competition.

Turn the horse around and return to the castle.

The Black Nightshade Bug Grass in the Dragon Sunflower field has gradually recovered, and the Magic Power has been able to circulate stably in the Bug Grass. The black spots and dead leaves have gradually become green again.

After watching Dragon Sunflower, Liszt rode around the racecourse again.

Finally, we returned to the green Apple tree to enjoy the shade.

Carrying a bunch of keys, Carter, who had just come out of the locked door of the cellar, walked over. His pace was very slow, and he had the calmness of an old man. His clothes were always meticulous and a little shabby, but they were ironed very smoothly, without any threads or wrinkles.

"Master, you seem to be in a bad mood."

"It seems like my mood is written all over my face."

"What can I share with you?" Carter asked with a smile, very cordial and making people feel warm immediately.

Liszt motioned to Thomas to bring a stool for Carter, and then said, "Mr. Carter, do you think I am a qualified lord?"

"I have never doubted this. You possess the bravery of the Tulip Family, and the compassion, justice, humility, and honor of the nobles. You are always cared for by Knight's Glory."

"Flower Town Has there been any change in the past six months?"

"The changes have been huge. I remember when I first came to Flower Town, the expressions on the faces of the town residents were numb. Now they seem to have been reborn. I see many smiling faces, more than I have seen in other places. Everyone is grateful for your kindness."

"Not everything." Liszt picked up the ice juice and took a sip. The coolness spread from his throat to his stomach and then spread throughout his body. "Today, I met a commoner who wanted the castle to build a new house for him for free. He demolished his old wooden house without caring about the kindness I gave him."

"You don't deserve to be angry with such civilians. The humble civilians are different from the noble nobles. They are always full of all kinds of bad habits."

"Okay, I accept your statement." Liszt put away the unhappiness in his heart, "In fact, Teacher Gortai's whip has calmed my anger."

Maybe he didn't even notice it himself.

He has been thinking more and more from a noble standpoint.

As a time traveler, Liszt still failed to defy fate and change this great era. He integrated into it bit by bit, betrayed communist ideas, and fell on the side of the exploiting class.

It is not far away from becoming a qualified native.

But he had his own words to refute this. "My ideal is to ride a dragon, not to change the world!"

The wooden house repair battle lasted for five full days.

I couldn't continue because that day, the north wind was howling and dark clouds obscured the sky. The Alfalfa grass on the racecourse swayed in the wind, and I couldn't stand up straight for a moment.

The servants of the castle were busy installing wooden boards on the windows to protect them from wind and rain.

If he has money, Liszt can carve crystals into glass and install them on windows, just like Tulip Castle. But he does not have such luxury. That box of crystals is reserved for the future creation of Magic Power items. The temporary castle windows are covered by removable wooden boards.

In addition, each window has a curtain woven with straw, which can be used to block sunlight and mosquitoes.

Not now, the strong wind outside will blow the curtains apart.

After the wooden boards were installed, the light in the castle, which was not bright at first, became even dimmer. Carter hurriedly asked the servants to light candles in the study, living room and other rooms to restore light to the room. Now Liszt's money bag is still sufficient, so he can light more candles, and he will light five or six in the study.

"Mr. Carter, don't worry about waste, my room needs to be bright enough. Reading in dark light is very harmful to the eyes."

Liszt was holding a novel and flipping through it boredly.

He has read all the 182 books in the castle more than twice. Basically, each book has tens of thousands of words and only a few thousand words.

He admired these authors who wrote knight novels. In a few thousand words, they had to write a complete and tortuous story. Moreover, there had to be dragons, princesses, knights, kings, wars, and banquets... Otherwise, no nobles would buy their books.

If the nobles don't buy books, these down-and-out little nobles who write all kinds of nonsense stories will starve to death - there is no doubt that those who choose to write are basically down-and-out nobles.

Common people can't write at all.

"Master, look at the current weather, there will be a heavy rain today."

"It doesn't matter if there's another heavy rain. Several ponds in Flower Town are almost drying up and are in urgent need of replenishing rainwater."

"I hope it won't damage the crops and affect this season's tax revenue." Carter opened a wooden board and looked at the gloomy sky outside, saying with concern.

"Don't be nervous. There is no shortage of food in the castle now, and there is no shortage of food in the town. East Coast is Flower Town's canteen." Liszt said calmly.

He leaned back in his chair, his eyes not focused on the chivalric novel in front of him.

Instead, he is looking at a group of Smoke. Smoke is twisted to form a piece of Snake Script: "Complete the task and reward Fast-Growing Thorn Mutation."
