"Human trafficking is not out of the question. The family's fleet goes out to sea to trade every year. However, it is not worth the risk for a few hundred people."
"Five thousand."
"What?"
"I need five thousand people."
"Five thousand people, are you sure you can handle it?"
"I am sure."
Levis narrowed his eyes: "I will go back and think about it."
Back in the living room, no one brought up the matter of human trafficking again. The atmosphere of the afternoon tea was very lively under Gort's liveliness.
The convoy would stay in the Flower Town for one night. Most of the Knight and the retainers would stay in the town. Levis and Li Weiwei would stay in the castle with their personal servants.
The butler, Old Carter, was particularly busy today.
"Tom, where is Jesse? I need his help!" His legs, which were not very agile, were sore from repeatedly going up and down the stairs. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and went into the kitchen. "Jessie isn't helping in the kitchen?"
"Jesse should be transporting horse fodder. There are dozens of horses in the castle. We don't have enough fodder to feed the horses." Tom carefully placed a sack of flour next to the stove.
"When he comes back, tell him to find me in the warehouse. I need someone to move the food that was delivered to the castle today to the cellar for storage."
"Alright, Mr. Carter."
The kitchen maid, Irene, looked up while washing vegetables: "Mr. Carter, do you need my help?"
Without waiting for Carter to answer, the kitchen maid, Abby, scolded: "You can't even finish the work in the kitchen, yet you still have the time to help. What, Irene, do you want to jump ship?!"
Carter spread his hands: "Irene, you probably won't be able to help."
"I know … God knows how long I have to stay in the kitchen today. It's hot and stuffy here, my clothes are soaked, and Mrs. Abby has heated the stove too much."
"Oh, is that so! Are you the chef or am I the chef? Do you want the master to entertain the distinguished guests at dinner?! "
"You are the chef."
"Then shut your little mouth and work quietly!"
Carter had already walked out of the kitchen. The kitchen was too hot, and he felt a bit of heaviness in his chest. He didn't know if he was suffering from heatstroke. It was not yet summer, but the weather was getting hotter. He took out a handkerchief, wiped his face, leaned against the wall, and took a breath.
Mawson Paddy, who was carrying a bucket, saw Carter and asked with concern: "Are you feeling unwell, Mr. Carter?"
"How could I be unwell, it's just a bit hot."
"Is that so? But you don't look well. Are you too nervous? There are too many guests in the castle today, and you need to take care of everything. "
"How can I be nervous, Mrs. Mawson? I've seen more lively scenes in His Excellency the Earl's courtyard. I can handle this." Carter put away his handkerchief. "Has young master Levis and Miss Li Weiwei's rooms been tidied up?"
"Miss Li Weiwei's personal maid has been complaining about the dust on the walls or the worn-out bedsheets."
"The quality of the utensils is not something we can decide. Don't be rude about the details of the work, and let the rest be. True aristocrats will not hold grudges because of this."
"The Tulip family are true aristocrats." Mrs. Morrison nodded, "Mr. Carter, don't you really need to rest?"
"Don't worry about me."
"Master is a good person, he definitely doesn't want to see you overwork."
"I'm not overworking. In fact, I'm enjoying it. The castle doesn't have many guests, and it's a rare opportunity for me to perform. Alright, I'm going to tidy up the warehouse. Yesterday, I was complaining that the food was getting less and less, but today, there's so much food that the warehouse can't hold it. "
… …
The castle was very small, and there was no entertainment.
After drinking the afternoon tea, a portion of the Knight prepared to go hunting in the Thorns Ridge. In this regard, Liszt readily agreed. He also invited Levis and Li Weiwei to go hunting together.
"With so many Earth Knights, it would be best to catch all of the Thorns Ridge's World of Warcraft in one fell swoop." He had such a thought in his mind, "Even if I can't catch any World of Warcraft, it would be good to familiarize myself with the Thorns Ridge's terrain."
He was neatly dressed.
He mounted his horse. This time, he was riding Firedragon. He still hadn't gotten used to Blackdragon well enough, which affected his strength.
He didn't let Thomas follow him, and only brought Markus and the four retainer Knight: "Thomas, take good care of my Blackdragon. Also, don't forget to feed Dosen. It's still growing, it can't be hungry."
"What is a Dosen?" Li Weiwei asked.
"A dog."
"Do you have a dog? What breed?"
"Flyingdust dog."
"Flyingdust dog? World of Warcraft? "
"Yes, a Flyingdust Pup that Teacher Markus caught in the Thorns Ridge." Liszt said casually.
"Earth Knight, Black Tulip, Peanut Sprite Sprite, Flyingdust Pup, and a handsome wild horse. Liszt, the God of Luck is looking after you. I am a bit envious of you."
"I can only say that life in the countryside is colorful."
"Falcon Town is also a countryside, but it is not as colorful as the Flower Town."
"That is because elder sister often lives in Tulip Castle, neglecting the life in the countryside."
"If you want, you can also continue to live in Tulip Castle. Father has no intention of driving you away." Levis rode over and interjected.
Liszt thought that this was just a polite remark: "I like the Flower Town. It is very free here, and I can do whatever I want."
"Including planting grass at the castle gate." Levis pointed at the serfs cultivating the alfalfa and joked, "Your castle can be called the Horse Field Castle in the future."
It was impossible for such a small castle to have a name.
Liszt raised his horsewhip: "Let's go. The sun is already setting in the west. If we can't enter the depths of the Thorns Ridge, then we will have to return." Fierydragon galloped in accordance with his intentions.
He wanted to bring this group of Knight into the Thorns Ridge. At the very least, he wanted to hunt a few World of Warcraft. Sooner or later, he would conquer the Thorns Ridge and incorporate the hills and woods into the Flower Town's territory. If he killed one more World of Warcraft, then he would be in less danger in the future.
Unfortunately.
During this hunting trip, they only hunted ordinary wild beasts.
World of Warcraft was much smarter than wild beasts. Sensing the surging qi inside the Earth Knights, they hid early on.
Even so, the prey they hunted was enough to hold a grand barbecue party. The aristocrats, Knight, and servants gathered together, laughing amidst the beer and butter.
"Whoa, Mr. Barbecue, give me another rabbit leg." The great Tulip sprite happily flew around. Sprites didn't need to eat or drink, but they could still digest food.
Thomas, who was busy barbecuing, hurriedly handed the great sprite a roasted rabbit leg sprinkled with seasonings.
The two lesser sprites next to him didn't greet him and ran away with two pieces of roasted meat in their mouths.
"Xiangxiang, you eat too fast. Only by chewing more can you appreciate the taste of food." Liszt said with a smile as he tore apart the rabbit head in his hand.
Sprites were too rare. Looking at the sprites would make one's mood better.
Besides, he was eating the barbecue that he liked very much. In this world, barbecue was probably the only food that suited his appetite.
"I like to eat in big bites."
