Chapter 231: A Thousand Miles to Escape (1)


It's a pity that there is no voice recorder in the other world, otherwise Lorne would give Celine what Reese just said.

Mother will definitely make the decision for him and kill Reese quietly But after speaking softly, the girl immediately changed her face and returned to Celine like a pug.

Yes, if you go and make a report at this time, you will definitely get Celine’s eyes.

Who makes his credibility so low?

Lorn himself would not believe the testimony of a scumbag.

After Celine finished counting all the things, the team was divided into two groups.

A group of people, led by Peter, were responsible for transporting things back to the manor and taking care of them temporarily, while Lorne and Celine needed to go to the lord's hall in the town for their first meeting.

Yesterday, Celine had already informed everyone.

Excluding those members of the Charles Party who were bound to be expelled, there were actually not many people attending the meeting.

The main thing is to let Lorne appear in front of everyone, so that the people who are left behind know who is now in the Fastland home.

Riding on the horse, I am no longer as anxious as before.

Lorne finally had time to take a good look at his territory.

On the way from the manor to Fast Town, he could see countless scattered fields.

Although a large part of the people in the North rely on hunting for a living, the empire is, after all, a civilization dominated by farming.

Especially the people in the Fast Territory who have land allocated to them, almost all of them are farmers.

Only some freemen with little property would give up farming and switch to other industries.

A large part of the town's tax revenue is provided by the freedmen.

Lorne knew very well that business could make money faster than farming, but it was obviously impossible for everyone to go into business.

Just changing from a subject to a free citizen requires a lot of procedures, and you also have to pay a lot of money to your lord.

A stable farming life is the ideal of most farmers.

This kind of people are also Lorne's favorite subjects.

Because in order to seek stability, they often know how to pay taxes on time.

The free people are also very important.

Their number can show the strength of a territory from the side.

For example, in the Fast Territory, in Celine's census, the number of free people was only a few thousand.

Not even ten thousand, but the small town of Faster is such a desolate place.

Just when she came back, Celine got a piece of news.

It is said that a lot of freedmen have poured into the Fast Territory recently, and there are people from almost all walks of life.

At first she thought someone else's spies had started taking action, but then something happened that made her give up her worries.

The farmland outside gave Lorne a refreshing feeling, but after entering the so-called small town, his face became very ugly.

Although Fast's memory gave him a shot, actually seeing it was another matter.

First of all, Lorn is very satisfied with the size of the town that can't be seen at a glance.

Everyone likes that their territory is large enough.

But a dilapidated town.

Maybe Fast Town can't be said to be dilapidated at all, but if you are used to seeing high-rise buildings, a place like Fast Town where the tallest building is less than ten meters is a completely dilapidated town.

What's even more annoying is that the seat of a baron is even worse than the small town of Reard.

Not only was the road a mess of mud, but there was also excrement in the middle.

From the shape, Lorne was sure it was human excrement.

What kind of bastard dares to take off his pants at will on his property, and also happens to leave them in the middle of the road for people to admire.

If Lorn caught him, he would beat that guy until he couldn't take care of himself.

Even if the other party is a child, the beast will not let it go easily.

As for the featureless and lifeless buildings around it, it is better to say that it is a small town than an enlarged version of a village.

With such a shabby place, it’s no wonder that a manor was built outside.

Even Lorne suddenly lost his intention of wandering around the streets after seeing the miserable state of his territory.

Then let’s look at the untouchables who stopped to look up at him.

Each one of them is very strong, but they have more of the unique characteristics of the northerners.

They were all slovenly and filthy, and Lorne could smell their stench from so far away.

If you say one more word to this kind of person, they will make him vomit.

Sure enough, in a world ruled by aristocrats, those parasites still live like human beings.

"Lord Baron Fast, Lord Baron Fast" But among these inhuman natives, there is actually a guy who knows Lorne.

When he heard the other party's shouting, Lorne thought it was Fast's former friends or poor relatives who came to join him because they saw that he was getting rich.

After seeing the other person's appearance, he found that he didn't recognize him at all.

A complete stranger, which means that the dead ghost Fast doesn’t even know the bad old man who is talking.

He is now a baron.

Wouldn't it be rude to stop when someone calls him a cat or a dog?

Therefore, Lorne chose to ignore the other party.

But Grant didn't know what medicine he took wrongly, and Lorne didn't even start to bully good people.

He became arrogant first.

"Well, you old man, I didn't go to settle accounts with you, but you actually dared to come here to die.

If I don't give you some color to see today, you still think that I, Lord Grant, grew up on a dry diet."

Shouting, the thin Grant grabbed the strong old man's collar.

The gap in status subverted the strength of the two.

The old man who was grabbed by the collar did not dare to resist Grant, but kept greeting Lorne.

"Lord Baron Fast, I am Old Wolf from Namu Fortress.

We met in Namu Fortress, my hotel."

After taking a closer look at the old man, Lorne found that he did have some impression.

I remember that Grant was pushed to the ground and beaten violently.

Wasn't he the hotel owner who beat him?

But he and the other party have no intersection at all.

Why does this old Wolf come here?

Is there some unsettled account?

He came here from Namu Fortress to ask for money.

No wonder Lorne was surprised.

If he had a choice, old Wolf wouldn't go all the way to Fastland.

But he had a conflict with Grant back then, and Lao Ge was Lorne's man.

The scary thing is that at that time, Lorne had just reached an agreement with the Clark family.

He offended Grant, which in a sense offended Lorne.

Lorne didn't have time to meddle in such nosy matters at the time, but Reagan Clark, who got the news, felt the need to make a gesture.

As a result, what good fruit can a small hotel owner reap once he is targeted by the upper class?

In desperation, he remembered Grant's bold words.

Even a stingy businessman can prosper in Fast, so Old Wolf is no worse than Grant.

Feeling that he and Lorne had some intersection, Old Wolf made up his mind and rushed to Fast Territory with all his money
