Chapter 1992 A Remote Fiefdom

However these are not important.

Because when the carriage approached the city wall, it was stopped by an arrow.

Several dark-skinned, sturdy men poked their heads out from behind the city wall, holding bows and arrows in their hands, looking at the carriage coldly.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"I, I'm just a driver, I don't know anything!"

The driver of the car was struck by the shimmering arrow and was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and spoke quickly.

This also made Qi Le understand that Angel's current situation was indeed quite embarrassing.

A dignified young lady from a noble family didn't even have a servant of her own. She had to hire a new carriage when she got home. It was really... too difficult.

Of course, this may also be related to the fact that Flame Academy prohibits non-academic people from living in the academy.

"I'm back."

Angel did not maintain his identity, but got off the carriage directly.

Anyway, we are at the door of our house. One more step or one less step. In fact, it is just like that.

"Sorry, I may have frightened you. This extra silver coin can be considered as compensation."

Qi Le, who was following behind, also sent the coachman away.

After all, Angel is also the eldest lady of a noble family. Although there is no special carriage when she comes back, there will still be someone to take her to Raging Flame City when she goes back.

After all, this time it was Angel's impromptu idea and he didn't tell his family.

"It turns out that the eldest lady is back. Hurry, open the door."

When the men behind the city wall saw Angel, they quickly put away their bows and arrows and walked down.

No matter how simple a city wall is, there will always be a gate.

No matter how vulnerable you are, you still have to do face-saving projects.

After entering the city gate, Qi Le discovered that the so-called city wall might really be just a fence.

Because what is inside this city wall is not a city-state, it is even a bit too high to say it is a small town.

At best, it can only be regarded as a larger village.

Looking up, you can see about thousands of homes.

There are many fields in the distance, and hundreds of people are working in the fields.

"Is this... the fiefdom owned by the former earl?"

Qi Le followed Angel, walking and looking all the way, feeling really moved in his heart.

The area of ​​​​this fiefdom is indeed not small, and it is located on a plain. The terrain is flat, the land is fertile, and there is a small river flowing beside the fiefdom.

Apart from the remote location, it is still very suitable for living.

But in terms of the number of residents, Qi Le really has no hope.

If we only have land but no population, it is just a dream to develop.

If you look at the size of the village, thousands of households are indeed a lot.

But if you look at the scale of a city-state, then this number of residents is less than 10,000, which is too few.

And along the way, Qi Le also discovered many dilapidated and empty houses.

It shows that the number of residents in the past should be more than this.

"We're here, Qi Le, this is my home."

While Qi Le was thinking, Angel's voice suddenly sounded, bringing Qi Le back to his senses.

Looking up, a beautiful manor appeared in front of me.

Although the buildings inside are not very magnificent, they are still gorgeous and very in line with the style of the aristocracy.

Compared with the houses outside the manor, I don't know how many times better they are.

There is still a gap between nobles and common people.

This is not only a manifestation of financial resources, but also a symbol of status.

"Miss Angel, welcome home, the master is already waiting for you in the study."

The butler in the manor had been waiting at the door for a long time. After seeing Angel, he bowed slightly and spoke humbly.

Then, he raised his head again and looked at Qi Le.

"Don't you know who this one is?"

The residents of the fief may not care about Qi Le's identity, but the steward of the manor cannot.

Even for safety reasons, you have to ask clearly.

"He is my familiar."

Angel introduced Qi Le's identity in one sentence.

For the summoner, the familiar is the most trustworthy partner.

After all, life and death are shared, so the familiar cannot harm the contract owner no matter what, unless he no longer wants to live.

"This one is your familiar? That one is rated as an outstanding high-level familiar!"

When the butler heard this, his eyes immediately changed when he looked at Qi Le.

As a steward of a noble family, he knows exactly what the high level of excellence means.

When the letter from the Flame Academy was sent to the house, Angel's father, Bellot, the only viscount in this fief, was really happy for a while.

This is the hope of improving the title.

"Let's go, Qi Le, go to the study with me."

Angel nodded, and then walked to the study with Qi Le.

The housekeeper didn't stop him, he just looked at the backs of Angel and Qi Le with joy.

If the status of his boss improves, then his status and status as a butler will naturally improve.

We share weal and woe.

In the study.

Bellot sat behind the desk. Although the book on the desk was open, he had no intention of reading it.

When two crisp knocks on the door rang, Belot closed the book and looked at the door.

"come in."

"Father, I'm back."

Angel walked into the study first, followed closely by Qi Le.

"Hello."

Qi Le looked at Belot, who had a mustache on his lips, and also said hello.

The tone was neither high nor low, very plain.

"This one...couldn't be the familiar you summoned."

Bellot was still much smarter than the housekeeper, and he guessed Qi Le's identity right away.

"Yes, father, his name is Qi Le."

Angel immediately introduced it aloud.

Then there were the usual greetings and inquiries about things in the academy.

It wasn't until the end that Bellotte sighed and said, "It's just a pity that you came back at the wrong time, Angel."

"What's wrong, father, is something going to happen?"

Angel originally wanted to talk about the summoning scroll, but when he heard these words, he immediately felt that something was wrong.

"That's right. When you came back, you should have seen that the perimeter of the fiefdom was already under martial law."

Belot said with a serious face.

"I saw it."

Angel responded.

As soon as he came back, he was blocked by the residents of the fiefdom with bows and arrows. This had never happened before.

"That's because the hyenas are about to attack, and the fiefdoms of several nobles around have been looted by the hyenas, so we have to do this."

Belot said in a deep voice.
