Chapter 148 Territory
In a spacious hall, as Sol quickly rushed out with the people, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
The strong smell of blood continued to come from the surroundings, with some low mourning sounds, which made people palpitate.
The surrounding halls are densely covered with corpses, nearly a hundred corpses piled up, and the smell of blood is so strong that it makes people feel a little sick.
However, in the hall, there was nothing unusual on the faces of the people standing around, but their eyes were faintly staring at Adil in the distance, with some palpitations that had not yet faded away.
Standing in the center of the hall, smelling the blood around him and feeling the strange eyes around him, Adil did not respond.
"Are you scared?"
Standing still, he looked at Ariel and asked with a smile.
"No... not afraid." A faint voice came from the side.
Standing behind Adil, looking at the densely packed corpses in the hall, Ariel felt a little nervous in her heart, but she still replied.
Listening to her words and looking at the girl in gray robe in front of her, Adiel nodded and did not continue to speak.
After a while, there were faint cries from the outside world.
Thor was covered in blood, holding a blood-stained long sword in his hand, and walked in quickly with someone.
At this time, compared to when he went out before, there were more people behind him, and some blood was also on his body at this time.
"Lord Adil, I have troubled you before."
Walking into the hall, Sol had murderous eyes in his eyes, first glanced around, and then looked at Adil in front of him and thanked him.
In front of him, listening to his words, Adil showed a polite smile on his face: "It's just a little favor."
"It's no small business."
Sol laughed, and then said: "I still have some things to deal with quickly, and I don't have time to entertain them for the time being."
"Lord Adil, you can go down and rest for a while, and then come to the banquet I hold for you after I finish dealing with the affairs in the castle."
"Then I'll wait." The smile on Adil's face remained unchanged: "I hope the wait time won't be too long."
"Don't worry, it will be resolved soon."
The expression on Sol's face was a little grim, his eyes were a little murderous, and he faintly looked at the people waiting around.
"Ah!" Several screams came from the surroundings at the same time.
In the spacious hall, several guests who had been invited before let out a scream, and were directly cut to the ground by the guards walking around.
Seeing this scene, the faces of the other guests suddenly turned pale.
"Until I resolve the rebellion in the castle, please stay in the hall, my lords."
At the forefront, Sol's face was indifferent: "Otherwise, it's hard to say what will happen to the adults."
Abandoning this sentence, he left some people here to guard, and then walked out again with the rest.
"Lord Adil, please come with me."
On the side, a black-robed guard walked up to Adil with a respectful face and spoke to him.
In response, Adil nodded: "Let's lead the way."
Under the leadership of the black-robed guard in front of him, Adil walked out with Ariel beside him.
･･････
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
During these seven days, the castle underwent a major cleaning.
Facing Sol, the familiar lord, most of the escort regiments that Sittar had barely grasped remained neutral, and some officers even turned against the water and moved closer to Sol.
Soon, the rebellion in the castle was suppressed, and even Sittar himself was killed by Thor, leaving only a few people who barely escaped.
After dealing with the rebellion and regaining control of the castle, in the previous hall, Sol held a banquet again, inviting all the surrounding nobles.
At noon, the sun is very hot.
Walking on the brand-new carpet, under the leadership of a black-robed attendant in front, Adil walked forward.
Because of his handsome appearance that was different from others, as soon as he entered the hall,
It caught the attention of some people.
Seeing the arrival of Adil, in the hall, the faces of some people suddenly turned pale, as if thinking of the scene from a few days ago.
"Is that the powerful knight in the rumor?"
In the corner of the hall, looking at Adil's appearance, someone wondered: "Why are you so young?"
On the side, some nobles also showed puzzled eyes, as if they couldn't believe it.
As for Adil's performance a few days ago, it has been spread by the people present at the time during this time, causing a stir in the castle.
Many nobles were a little skeptical about the authenticity of this news, but there were too many witnesses at the time, which made them reluctantly believe it.
At this time, looking at Adil's young appearance, the doubts in his heart rose again.
Before I could think about it, a voice suddenly sounded in front of me, attracting the attention of those around me.
I saw that in the front of the hall, Sol put on a red dress, with a very friendly smile on his face, and he couldn't see the mighty appearance a few days ago.
"Welcome everyone to participate in this banquet!"
Standing at the front, he raised his glass high and smiled at everyone below.
The surroundings fell into silence at first, and then there was a violent applause.
Listening to the applause around, Sol's expression remained unchanged, and he seemed to be very satisfied with the performance of everyone: "This time I invite you, in addition to inviting you to participate in the banquet, I will also announce a few news."
"The Moore family participated in the rebellion, all the clan members were imprisoned, and the territory will be taken back by me."
Under the gazes of the people below, Sol's expression remained unchanged, and he quietly said the news.
Before waiting for the people below to react, he said again: "In addition, due to the help of Lord Adil during this rebellion, I decided to hand over the territory of the Moore family to Lord Adil."
"This···"
Below, listening to Sol's words, everyone below looked at each other in dismay.
Looking at Adil, someone's face changed a bit, as if he wanted to say something, but looking at the face of Sol in front, he hadn't stood up yet.
"Since everyone has no objection, then it is agreed."
Looking at the reaction of everyone below, Sol showed a smile: "Congratulations, Lord Adil, you will be a baron from now on."
"Thank you, my lord." Adil also looked at him with a smile on his face.
After announcing this matter, standing on the stage, Sol said something more, and then announced the official start of the banquet.
Looking around, Adil sat directly in the corner, closed his eyes a little bored, and went directly into a state of meditation.
Ahead, Sol walked beside the nobles, making bursts of chatter from time to time.
This is also the main reason for him to hold this banquet. In addition to announcing the previous events, it is also to appease the lords in the castle and reduce the impact of the previous rebellion.
Several hours passed before the banquet ended.
The next morning, accompanied by a dozen guards, Adil and Ariel walked slowly outside the castle.
The roadside is desolate, and some grass and trees are stubbornly multiplying in the wild, bringing a little green.
There were some beasts constantly shuttled around, but not many mutant creatures were seen, which made Adil a little surprised.
"Master Sol will send troops to patrol around every day and deal with the dangers around the castle."
Seeing Adil's expression, he seemed to understand his doubts, and the black-robed guard who led the team explained: "If you stay away from the castle, it will become like the wild."
Listening to his words, Adil nodded, expressing his understanding.
At noon the next day, they came to a manor.
Because of the danger in the wild in this world, the manor in front of him has many defensive measures. There are not only fences but also high walls, which are enough to resist the attacks of some ordinary mutant monsters.
In the front, some people are already waiting at this time.
It was an old man with a wrinkled face, and the red linen robe on his body looked a little worn out. At this time, he walked forward respectfully.
Behind the old man, several middle-aged and young people also followed behind him. They looked a bit similar, and they should be of the same race.
"Sid, this is Baron Adil, the future lord of this land."
Looking at the old man in front of him, the black-robed guard rode a horse and introduced him with a flat face.
"Lord Baron..."
Listening to the words of the black-robed guard, the old man standing in front hurriedly spoke to Adil.
After seeing Adil, a few people behind him also walked over quickly and looked at Adil respectfully.
"Lord Adil, do you need to stay with these guards?"
After a while, looking at Adier, the black-robed guard asked respectfully, "This place is very close to the wild, and there are often some mutant monsters haunting, although with your strength, Lord Adier will not Something goes wrong, but some small things still need help."
"This is also Lord Sol's intention."
He looked at Adil and said respectfully.
"Then stay." Listening to his words, Adiel nodded.
After finishing these things, under the leadership of Sid in front, they entered the manor in front.
The manor looked a little messy, and there were some dried bloodstains that had not been completely cleaned up, walking around.
There were some servants who settled in it, and all of them were called out by Sid and a few people to welcome Adil, the new master.
"Lord Baron, there are more than 100 families in the manor, and almost 500 people live in them. They are all private slaves in the manor. You can arrange it yourself."
Standing in front of Adil, Sid looked respectful: "If you want, you can also expel these people."
On the side, listening to his words, the faces of several servants who came out to greet him suddenly turned pale, as if frightened by his words.
"Apart from this manor, how many people are there in other places?"
Standing in place, listening to Sid's words in front of him, Adil asked back.
"This···"
Listening to Adil's question, Sid's face suddenly broke out in cold sweat: "Lord Baron, besides this manor, you also have five village fiefs with a population of about one thousand."
