my age of magic

Chapter 485 283. Carrying Wine
After I agreed to sign a secret magic contract with him, An finally told me the whole story truthfully.

In the northern provinces, it is not uncommon for a nobleman to have several wives. People here believe in the Statue of Liberty. Among the teachings of the Statue of Liberty, monogamy is not advocated, which is very in line with the actual situation in the Northland.If monogamy is implemented, three-quarters of women will be homeless or live alone, so the implementation of polygamy here is more in line with the needs of life here. .

Count Zimmerman married five wives in total, and only his first wife, Jenny, was the daughter of a noble viscount in a neighboring province. Jenny bore two children to Count Zimmerman, and the two children were Ann and Demi, these are the only sons and daughters of Earl Zimmerman, and the rest of the wives were married one after another later, and did not raise children for Earl Zimmerman.

When the barbarians invaded the manor, Earl Zimmerman arranged for his family members to hide in the wine cellar with Ann, Demi and all the wives. Count Merman's sister, Mrs. Alia, unfortunately happened to be a guest at Zimmerman Manor, and was also involved in this disaster.

Counting the personal maids brought by the wives, a total of thirteen ladies hid in the wine cellar, but Mrs. Alia's maid was the worst. When Earl Zimmerman's entourage died, Anthony was the first to take Alia away. Liya's maid was killed, and then the maid of Ann's mother, Mrs. Jenny, who gave up her life in order to let Ann go.

In fact, the four servants also have great differences among themselves. Anthony and Joseph have similar ideas. They think that since they are locked in the wine cellar, this is a godsend opportunity, and they should enjoy the happy life of the noble earl.But groom Hank and Gardener thought they should keep a low profile, thinking that what Anthony and Joseph did was purely courting death.

Winemaker Anthony and Marv Hank are stronger in personal strength. They are veterans who have retired from the battlefield. They are fearless about life and death. They are the kind of murderers who can die at any time.The fat chef Joseph is an old pervert who likes to drink very much.And the gardener is the most mysterious, until now everyone calls him the gardener, no one knows his name.

Hank the groom and the gardener did not want to bully the maid beside the hostess of the manor. The two occupied a lounge, stored some food, and stayed behind closed doors all day.

After the death of the squire, Anthony and Joseph didn't care about Earl Zimmerman's wives at first. The younger maids are fiddly.

They only dared to tease the maids around the wives, and the habits they had developed over the years made them feel somewhat in awe of the countess.

On the contrary, some maids whose bodies have been violated want to seek the protection of the wives and express their complaints to the wives.At this time, Count Zimmerman's wives ignored the pleadings of the maids in order to protect themselves, and instead acquiesced to the actions of Anthony and Joseph.

It was they who pushed the closest personal maids out with their own hands.

However, the life in the wine cellar is not a day or two. A few days have passed, and everyone has not seen the rescuer appear, and they will still wait patiently. A week has passed, and two weeks have passed... Still no one Appearing, the feeling of despair of being trapped to death in the wine cellar spread to everyone's hearts.

'Everyone will die in this wine cellar like a tomb! '

This is the thought of almost everyone trapped in the wine cellar. At this moment when the shadow of death hangs over their hearts, the darkest emotions hidden in their hearts will be infinitely magnified, and any things that were unthinkable before Son, under this invisible pressure, it will slowly ferment, and finally the demons of the heart will overcome the reason.

Alcohol is the source of all evils, especially in such a huge wine cellar, drinking for entertainment has become a must-do to kill time every day, especially the northerners of the empire love to drink.

Although groom Hank is fairly honest, his biggest weakness is that he likes to drink, and when he gets drunk, his temperament becomes more violent, especially after countless despair has accumulated in his heart, he becomes like Another person.

After drinking once, with the help of the maids, Anthony finally got Hank the groom into the water as he wished. After Hank the groom sobered up, he regretted it too much. The ladies of Earl Zimmerman were quite pretty, so they agreed with Anthony's approach. The four of them simply divided up the ladies of Earl Zimmerman in the lounge, including His daughter and sister Lady Alia. .

Anthony occupied Mrs. Jenny and Demi, the mother and daughter, and Joseph took a fancy to Mrs. Aliya and a girl with a trace of orc blood. The other four Mrs. Zimmerman were sent by Anthony. In groom Hank's lounge...

When Ann and I walked to groom Hank's lounge, it was already empty, and the room was a little messy, but it was much better than Anthony's lounge, at least the women's attire was still the same. It was relatively normal, but the spirit was a little sluggish, and the few remaining women sat in the room at a loss, covering their faces with their hands, as if they couldn't face Ann.

It can be seen that they were not injured in any way, and Hank the groom and the gardener probably did not force them, but seeing them look so ashamed when they saw Ann, they must have done a lot of things that harmed the Zimmerman family .

Ann took these women back to Anthony's lounge with a cold face. It was Demi who opened the door. She had already changed into a fairly clean dress. In the lounge, I saw a pale, graceful and elegant woman. The noble lady was wrapped in a blanket, even if she still had this bruise on her neck, sitting in an oak chair at the moment, she looked extraordinary, but no amount of powder on her face could hide the erosion of time, She should be regarded as a well-maintained middle-aged woman.

I guess she should be Ann's mother, Mrs. Jenny. Before Demi was desperate to find the key from Anthony, she should be saving her mother, Mrs. Jenny. He rushed into the room and burst into tears.

Madam Alia stood beside Mrs. Jenny looking at several women kneeling on the ground with a calm expression. I saw that although the middle-aged lady looked calm and even had a faint smile on her face, the coldness in her eyes But it's cold to the bone, this is in aristocratic families...

I didn't want to know too much about the secret history of Zimmerman's house, so I waited for Ann to return to the lounge, and stayed outside the house under the pretext of using magic to make all the golden cider in the wine cellar disappear. In fact, I also ask the people in the lounge to stay in the lounge when I cast the spell, and no one can come out of the lounge, otherwise they will be taken into a strange place by my magic. in the face.

I think this lame excuse sucks, it's like telling Ann directly: I don't want you to know the secret of my magic!

An agreed with great interest, and soon, the door of the lounge was tightly closed.

Afterwards, I took the 'Time-Space Breaker' magic hammer and cast a spell to set up a 'Transportation Gate' leading to Xinliu Valley in a very unobstructed passageway, and then walked in...

……

A drop of cold water fell into my neckline, making me tremble all over.

The underground caves of Xinliu Valley are colder and more humid than the wine cellar.

Standing on the edge of the altar in the Xindi cave, I saw two capable orc warriors guarding the door of the stone house. When they saw me coming out of the portal, they were not surprised at all, but ran over excitedly to salute me.

I first politely asked the names of the two orcs, and then called out their names, and ordered one of the orcs to send a message to Kalantso in the village: let her take at least fifty strong orcs to drive away. Come over to the altar to carry the wine barrels.

Then, let another orc follow me back to the wine cellar. In the wine cellar, with the help of the orc, I successfully built a step with a few wine barrels under the vent, and then climbed up the vent along the steps. , easily drilled inside.

After a period of hard climbing, I finally returned to the garden of the Zimmermann estate.

At this time, Captain Cynthia was already waiting eagerly at the entrance of the cave. Seeing that it took me so long to come up, she hurriedly asked me about the situation inside.

Because I promised Ann that I would help him keep the secrets in the wine cellar. I only said that Earl Zimmerman died in battle while guarding the manor, leaving only some women in the manor trapped in the wine cellar.

Cynthia wanted to organize people to dig out the wine cellar several meters deep, and then save people.

But I said to Cynthia: "Captain, I have a solution. Wait for me for two days, and I will bring them out of the wine cellar intact!"

Cynthia nodded briskly this time and said, "Okay, I'll give you two days. After two days, I'll wait for you at this vent. If I don't see you, I'll find a way to dig it up!"

At this time, Basile, who was standing on the roof, jumped down from the top, ran to Captain Cynthia, and said directly: "I found a single barbarian in the town of Maas, and they seem to be searching for something!"

"Falcon team, get ready to go!" Captain Cynthia said without hesitation.

The tauren Luka hesitated to go with Cynthia and the others. He wanted to wait for me at the vent of the manor.

After waiting for Captain Cynthia to take Wei En, Xiu and Basile away, the careful Luca pointed to the bruises on my neck where Anthony had strangled me, and asked, "Jia, are you injured?"

I hammered his chest with my fist, then smiled at him and said to him, "Trust me, it was just a small accident..."

And I got into the vent again, this time with ease.

……

Everything was carried out silently in the dark, not even a single torch was lit.

The furry big feet stepped on the flat ground rammed with clay, unexpectedly printed clear footprints one by one, all the way to the portal not far away.

Rolling beads of sweat dripped from the sturdy body, and even these strong orcs had a hard time carrying the huge oak barrel, which weighed hundreds of catties, but at this moment, no orc made a sound. Complaining, they were doing their best to carry the huge oak barrels and walked towards the portal that shone with thunder.

Sitting on top of the tall wine barrels, I watched dozens of strong orcs carry barrels of golden cider into the portal, and I felt quite emotional.

Who would have thought that just half a year ago, these orcs were still pale and emaciated. They were discriminated against in the city of El and lived with hunger and hunger, but now they can leisurely graze, hunt and gather in Xinliu Valley. Herbs and logging.If you're lucky, you might even hunt a fat white-spotted saber-toothed tiger for a tooth sacrifice. The orcs established an orc village in Xinliu Valley. The stable life made them prepare to reproduce the next generation. There are already some orc girls with big bellies Dry the herbs in the village, and after a few months, more little lives will be born in the village.

At this moment, more than half of the golden cider in the wine cellar has been emptied.

The female orc warrior Kalancuo was standing beside me, directing the orcs to move barrels of golden cider into the cave in Xinliu Valley.Kalancuo can be said to be the most careful housekeeper. She will clearly record every item that belongs to me, and she will never ask some extra questions. As long as I don't say anything, she won't Take the initiative to ask.

As the barrels of wine were emptied, the entire underground wine cellar revealed a large empty space.

I asked Kalan Cuo: "What is Xinliu Valley missing recently?"

"The most lacking thing is food. You have been out of El for nearly a month. During this time, we have not replenished a single grain. The wheat flour has been exhausted ten days ago. Now we eat orcs all day long. Traditional food - dried raw meat and stewed wild vegetables!" Kalancuo answered truthfully.

Just when she mentioned jerky and stewed wild vegetables, my stomach was overwhelmed.I still remember the unpalatable wild vegetable soup like a traditional Chinese medicine decoction. I frowned and said, "Didn't I bring some seeds with me? Why haven't I seen any effect yet?"

Kalantso explained: "There are more weeds in the wheat fields than ears of wheat. I have tried to let some people weed the wheat fields, but they trampled more wheat than pulled out the grass. Women also have a headache for pulling weeds..."

I waved my hand feebly and said, "Forget it, let's forget about planting this area first. I will solve the food problem as soon as possible. Is there anything else?"

Kalantso added: "There is also a lack of salt, and the saws for logging should be replaced with new ones. The magic sealing box containing the intermediate magic herbs is almost gone, and it needs to be replenished as soon as possible."

"Got it!" I said.

Now I am thinking: What a headache!
