Don't call me evil god

Chapter 796 The Viscount of Resistance

When he learned that the goal was to "pack and transport" the entire Viscount Tostin's estate, the other party sent Bacon a string of question marks.

After repeated confirmation, until Bacon brought up the name of Petunia Tustin, they reluctantly believed that Bacon was not playing a prank on them.

Anyway, even if this thing doesn't work out, their charging standard is payment first, work later.

then.

Viscount Tostin inexplicably learned from his servants that a large group of people had come to the outside of his manor, carrying various measuring tools, and were surrounding the wall of the entire manor to record the length, width and other information.

He was stunned on the spot.

What's this plan for?

Let the servant stop the leader and ask about the situation.

"Didn't you hire a moving and transportation service? This manor is definitely medium-sized. We need to calculate in advance how many [Weight Loss] and [Floating] devices we need to bring to pack up the entire manor!"

The other party's answer was so confident.

Viscount Tostin was stunned when he heard this.

What is moving and transportation service?
What are weight loss and flotation devices?
Didn't he do these things?

But Pete Twain blinked.

"Yes, we called!"

"Father, didn't you say that we can choose any valuable things in the manor?"

"I think this manor itself is the most valuable, so I plan to pack it up and ship it to Dawn City. What do you think?"

Viscount Tostin's face immediately turned dark.

Dawn City, Dawn City, Dawn City again!
In the past, the most prosperous city in Ceylon was Ceylon City where he lived.

Because the churches and monasteries of the Glowing God Church are not far from the city of Ceylon.

Ever since the so-called new city emerged a few months ago, everything started to change.

People no longer flock to Ceylon.

At this time of year in previous years, many of the king's troops that are nearby would have arrived for border defense. According to convention, several aristocratic friends that Viscount Tostin knew would also come to visit and have a small gathering.

After all, as a native of Ceylon, he was most familiar with the local environment, especially the border environment.
This year it is quite deserted.

Not a single friend came.

Viscount Tostin could probably guess where they went.

……

Ever since the seekers of knowledge "invaded" the Ceylon Territory, Viscount Tostin felt that everything was going wrong for him!
Because he found that the life he was familiar with had changed dramatically in a very short period of time.

And this change...is not very friendly to him.

The feeling of "everything is under control" is completely gone.

Many things are now completely out of his control.

He could clearly feel it.

One's own "right to speak" is rapidly becoming smaller and smaller.

Don't mention anything else.

More than half a month ago, a male servant in the manor who had signed a contract with him completed the agreed 10-year work period.

If it were in the past, the other party would definitely beg me with eager eyes, hoping to renew the contract for another ten years.

After all, working in the Viscount's Manor is much better than working outside, both in terms of income and treatment!
Don't mention anything else.

In this cold winter day.

In the past, ordinary people had to calculate the time to light their fireplaces, and the firewood they stored was not enough to supply the entire winter. However, the building of the Viscount's manor was warm all day long because every fireplace was constantly emitting a warm atmosphere.

For ordinary people, being able to work for a "noble lord" like Viscount Tostin is definitely a good job.

But this time the situation changed.

A few days before the contract expired, Viscount Tostin discovered that his valet had begun to pack his luggage and had packed his personal belongings into a package early, as if he was eagerly waiting for the contract to be completed.

After ten years, the other party left happily after thanking the Viscount for his care and kindness over the years!

There was no mention of contract renewal.

Viscount Tostin felt extremely unhappy at that time!

The other person was able to leave so cleanly and neatly, and when the other servants looked at him, there was envy and admiration in their eyes, rather than pity and sympathy.

This made Viscount Tostin even more unhappy!

In his past, if a servant did not do his job carefully or efficiently, his most severe punishment would not be a fine or a whipping, but to expel the person from the manor directly.

Using this tactic as a threat, the serving male and female servants would work very hard, fearing that they would lose this hard-earned job.

Not now.

Not only did this move lose its deterrent effect, it turned into a reward!
Listen, what kind of words are these?

reward!

Before Viscount Tostin discovered this, the servants began to frequently show signs of laziness, clumsiness, and breaking things.

One of them was driven away as a warning to others.

Not only did the situation not improve, it got worse!

A few guys even used poor acting skills to deliberately cause trouble in front of him.

For example, when he was serving him coffee, it suddenly fell to the ground for no apparent reason, spilling the steaming hot coffee all over him.

Or when cleaning the manor, they would deliberately use dirty water from somewhere to mop the floor, making the hall used to receive guests smelly and stinky.

There are endless situations like this.

Viscount Tostin finally reacted.

These guys are just waiting to be kicked out by him after making a mistake!
He had no choice but to change his tactics and turned the punishment into the most primitive form of whipping, severely beating these sneaky guys, and only then was he able to barely curb the chaos in the manor.

The more this happened, the worse Viscount Tostin's impression of the "Church of Knowledge" became!
When did these changes begin?

Without a doubt, it will be after the eternal night of Ceylon ends!
First, Bishop Henry Tran of the Church of the Glowing God was inexplicably taken away by the supervisory priests on charges of malfeasance, and then news came that a new city, Dawn City, was being built.

Things turned out completely beyond Viscount Tostin's expectations.

He had learned some inside information about the Countess earlier, and he had been hinted about it by Bishop Henry Tran at that time.

Something bad will happen to the Countess soon.

Ceylon, no, that's not right. It should be said that the border area needs a new noble who is familiar with the local area and highly respected to guard it.

By then, the Church of the Glorious God will give him a push in the royal capital and recommend him to the king.

By that time, this place will be renamed "Earldom of Tostin".

As a result, all the expectations were ruined by the interference of the knowledge-seeking believers who appeared out of nowhere!
That's why he has always disliked the Church of Seeking Knowledge.

Even Dawn City was a word he disliked.

I thought my youngest son, Petunia, had become more “awake” recently.

Unexpectedly, he got another big one!

He actually wanted to move the entire manor directly to Dawn City!
