14. The engineer who hides in the mountains

Lance stopped talking nonsense to the squire and quickly sent everyone away, but only pulled Goul and asked him to lead the way.

Poor Guer's clothes were covered with blood. Although the blood was not his, he looked at the cunning. He looked at the companions next to him who called him brothers when they came in. In the end, none of them dared to stand up and speak. They either moved their eyes away or pretended not to see them.

Gul also gave up. As expected, the disaster was coming, each of them flew away. These guys with three swords on both sides were unreliable at all. Finally, he looked at the Mosen he trusted the most.

Mosen and Goul have a good personal relationship. The two families are the four most prominent masters in Guruling. Now, seeing Sir Leiwen and Kelsu die one after another, there are only two of the four families left. If this is different, it is estimated that the gentry group will go back to their own houses and find their own mothers in the future.

Sure enough, he did not disappoint Goul's expectations. Mosen thought about it and still came over.

He knew that Gul had always been timid and wanted to give him some confidence when he was by the side, so he said, "Sir, I'll go with you too?"

"You can't be used here. Just have Gul leading the way. Why? Are you afraid that I will eat him?" Lance smiled kindly, but the brighter he smiled, the more uncomfortable the people around him were actually. It would be better not to smile. Everyone felt sad and listened to him again: "Don't worry, Gul took the initiative to introduce talents to me. I naturally thought about his benefits. Not only will he not hurt him, but he will also be rewarded. By the way, Mosen, after you go to copy the Mulin family, you can give it to the Gelan family."

Mosen was also a smart person. He knew that his prejudice had already made Lance unhappy. Now he mentioned the Mulin family, just to ask him to search the house as soon as possible and not meddling in other people's business.

So, Mosen quickly responded to Lance: "I understand. I promise that the account book and property that I have settled today will be delivered to the county magistrate."

"Very good." Lance nodded with satisfaction.

Before leaving, Mosen gave the helpless Guer a look that asked him to take care of himself, and then left Leiwen Manor without looking back.

The remaining squires had the idea of ​​having a meeting after leaving. But when they saw that Mosen, who had been in charge of taking the lead, left the scene without saying a word, and Lance's frightening eyes always seemed to be on them. These timid but greedy guys dared not to stay there, and they did not dare to turn their eyes to Lance and Gul and flee like flying.

Seeing that the entire reception room had become quiet again, Lance ordered to Heigang next to him: "Let them deal with the body, throw the head into the square, and find some people to stare at the group of squire for me. Whenever there is any disturbance, don't report it to me, just kill it."

When Lance said this, he did not shy away from standing beside him. Gul was trembling with his teeth and legs. Gul thought to himself that when he first came, he was thinking of crushing Lance. This was a fucking death. Fortunately, his ancestors blessed him, so he stopped in time and did not anger the god of killing.

However, Gul became increasingly humble in his attitude towards Lance. He was obviously the head of the Glen family of the four masters of Guruling, but in front of Lance, he was like a servile and loyal old slave.

However, loyalty is not manifested by showing it, and Lance did not expect them to be loyal to him. He knew very well that whether it was Mosen, Goul, or others, his obedience to him was derived from fear. If one day their fear disappeared, then perhaps his resentment towards him would burst out exponentially.

But it doesn't matter. Firstly, Lance is confident that he will not give them that opportunity. Secondly, he also feels that the cracks on both sides are still possible to be repaired. If they really can't do it, then...

Lance thought about it and then started to laugh.

He asked affectionately to Goul, "Gul, now you can take me to the master who is proficient in engineering in your mouth, right?"

Guer was stunned. When did he say he was an engineering master?

"Wait, sir, I'm just saying that I'm good at building things."

"Isn't this the same thing?"

"No, no, no... I'm just good at building." Gul quickly denied that if the new county magistrate had a preconceived expectation, if he was not satisfied, wouldn't he have to cut off his head - Gul would be very scared of Lance.

"Okay," Lance also felt that it might be because he was pushing too hard, but he still couldn't resist his curiosity: "Talk about who is the one who is good at building."

When asked, Goul hesitated for a moment, but after looking at Lance, he still planned to tell the truth: "Actually, this person is not from our county, he is a refugee."

The so-called refugees are people without household registration, which is actually not uncommon in the abyss, especially after a war, a large number of refugees will emerge. The rights and interests of these people are worse than those at the bottom. Ordinary civilians can at least buy their own industries in a certain place, but once the refugees are discovered, they can only be killed or exiled. Of course, the remittance here is actually going to the front line as cannon fodder, doing civil engineering chores and other life, and they will die for a lifetime.

But Lance is not an accountant, he patted Goul's shoulder: "Don't worry, if this person is really as useful as you said, I will forgive him for his identity."

Refugees are equivalent to criminals, and as county magistrates, especially the lord's son, Lance has the right to help them improve their household registration.

Goul was quite surprised to hear the news, but it made him not as resistant to the contact with Lance as before, although he was still cautious.

"But as Gul, how could you meet a refugee?"

"Mr. County Master, this is a long talk."

Lance didn't intend to listen to his long speech: "Then just say it simply."

Gur scratched his head: "It was when he was wandering to our place before, and when he saw that he had some skills, he kept him in the village and let him hide his identity and stay there."

Lance was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that these old wealthy people could still know how to cherish talents.

As he chatted along the way, Lance had already followed Goul back to his manor with a small team. Unlike Sir Raven's style that portrays the romance to his bones, Goul's mansion was much more restrained. However, after observing, Lance noticed that these buildings were actually very particular. Their structure was rigorous and full of disguised colors, which means that you would not be able to see the layout inside from outside the manor.

Lance was a little curious: "This is also the work of that person?"

Gur nodded: "He built it for me after he came, saying that as long as the manor is properly arranged, even if the manor is surrounded, it will not be so easy to be captured."

As soon as Goul said this, he regretted it. He quickly turned his head to see Lance's reaction. Fortunately, Lance did not put his words in his heart, which made Goul breathe a sigh of relief.

"Okay, take me to see him quickly." What interested Lance.

As he said that, Lance raised his heel and wanted to go forward, but Goul hurriedly stopped him: "That county magistrate, please wait, wait a moment."

Lance frowned and looked at him: "What else can you not let me see here? Don't worry, I won't kill you just because I'm greedy."

Gur's cold sweat broke all over the floor, and he quickly shook his head: "No, it's not that the villain is not guarding against the adults, but this person has a strange temper. The adults bring so many people in, I'm afraid he won't see him."

"No?" Lance was stunned, but soon sneered: "I hold his neck with a knife, can he see him?"

Heigang behind him heard what his master said, and quickly took a step forward demonstratively.

"See, it's just dead." Gul muttered with his head down.

Lance knew that this timid guy didn't dare to deceive him, but was even more surprised: "So personality?"

"Young master, do you want me to go in and catch the person?" Hei Gang asked.

Lance shook his head: "I want to live, forget it, let Goul go and say hello first."

In fact, according to Goul's meaning, Lance can also follow Goul in alone, but what if his timid appearance is pretending, wouldn't it be a waste to slander yourself at the critical moment?

These Kung Fulans, who are of all kinds of religions and all kinds of genius, have seen enough in the Lord's Fort, and he doesn't want to capsize in the gutter.

Here he looked at Goul meaningfully, and after seeing Goul trembled, Lance let Goul enter the small wooden house where the craftsman was staying, and Lance brought Heigang and other guards to the door.

"This is just a broken carpenter, and he even learns from the nobles to show off some bad airs."

I always feel that everyone has subtle differences in their understanding of engineering and architecture. The few guards around Lance were also quite annoyed. Lance smiled happily and didn't respond.

Heigang came over at this time: "Young master, be careful, maybe there is something strange here."

Lance knew what he was reminding himself and nodded.

Gul didn't dare to let Lance wait too long. Soon, Gul came out of the wooden door and bowed to Lance timidly and said, "Sir, please come in. But the place inside the room is small, your guards..."

Gul implicitly reminded Lance not to bring such a large group of people in, but fortunately Lance didn't mind, so he pointed at Heigang: "Just go in with me, the others will stay where they are."

"This is the best." Gul was overjoyed, afraid that Lance would not agree.

But before he could turn around, Lance reached out and climbed up Goul's back and said coldly: "Old guy, you didn't play any tricks, are you?"

Gul's little liver almost stopped beating by him. In order to clear the relationship, Gul shook his head into a rattle.

"That's good," Lance patted his shoulder with heartily, and said, "Don't be nervous, I was joking just now."

Guerxin said, you should leave this joke to others. If you make it twice, even if you don’t die, you will be scared out of mental illness.

At this moment, the three of them entered one after another in the order of Goul, in the middle of the Black Steel Palace. Lance found that the cabin looked simple outside, but there was a unique atmosphere inside. The whole layout was like a messy workshop, which was completely different from a place to live. Apart from finding a kennel-like bedding in the corner full of miscellaneous items, Lance could no longer find any items related to daily life in this room. Instead, carpenter planers, masonry hammers, saws and other things filled the room. Apart from these, what surprised Lance was the dazzling array of woodworking and gadgets in the room.

As for Lance, he is naturally knowledgeable, especially when he is still in the Lord's Castle. Whenever he deals with those dandy people, he can see many novel things in the ground world, but this still cannot help Lance's surprise at this moment - he stared at the wooden bird hanging in the bird cage with his eyes flashing, and without saying it, this thing was moving by himself!

Is it really some kind of magic?

Lance couldn't understand that even he was just the son of a lord with a more respected identity.

He turned around and was about to ask, but found that Guer was standing respectfully beside him, and there was a strange man with messy hair and dull eyes beside him.

Lance guessed his identity, but—
