The Crystal Palace Plan of the Sinner Lord

She limped along behind him, very obedient.

[Cesinati's favorability -10, currently 110 (murderous intent is rising)]

[Note: Due to the particularity of the Cersinati strategy, rewards will be calculated based on the humiliation value. When the humiliation value reaches 50, the host will receive the first reward - Master Armor - Boiling Blood, the current humiliation value is 20! ]

"interesting."

Caesar turned his head and looked at the elf lady who was lowering her head, wondering what she was thinking, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Miss Elf seems to be planning something...

Isn't this a perfect opportunity?

Chapter 21: Sometimes there is not much difference between humans and animals

Stone Sword Village——

Knight Parks, who had just finished dinner, called together his knights and followers.

There is only one week left until the end of the assessment.

After completing this patrol mission, he was promoted, and the remaining knight squires graduated with honor and became real knights.

During this period of time, he has taught them everything he should teach, including riding, basic fighting spirit training, and basic knight combat skills. The only thing he has not taught them yet is how to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of himself and his enemies. This is also the last week he will use to slowly teach these knights these principles.

After all, the enemy will not write his rank on his face.

If you judge the situation based solely on experience and a pair of observant eyes.

In less than a minute, the knights' team was assembled.

But Parks found that two people were missing from the team, Gail and Kate.

"Where are Gail and Kate? Does anyone know?"

Parks looked around, and a knight stepped forward and said respectfully, "Sir, I know that Kate accepted the reward and went to find her old lover, and Gale went with her."

Parks raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

He knows this.

"Didn't they come back during this time?"

"No."

This is strange.

Parks frowned a little deeper.

Kate and Gail are both talented knights under his command. Although they are still inexperienced, their strength has already reached the threshold of the second level. After graduation, they only need to return to the major towns to bathe in the holy light once to instantly enter the second level and become true knights.

For people like Gale and Kate, dealing with a group of goblins is as easy as cutting melons and vegetables. Even if they encounter a goblin tribe, they can escape unscathed. Besides, there are so many adventurers who have accepted the bounty and can provide them with some help.

But now half a day has passed.

Nothing will happen...

Parks didn't want to see this happen.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether Kate and Gail live or die.

But this incident will affect his promotion.

To go from a knight to a knight commander who owns land, one needs the merit of training a knight, as well as some family connections, and he just happens to have some connections.

"Everyone, it looks like we have to go to Sunset Forest for a walk. When we find your two companions, I will hang them up and beat them up." Parks said viciously, "Did I tell you not to leave the village during the rest period?"

"have--!"

All the knights' followers raised their heads and chests and roared.

"Okay! Let's go now!"

Parks jumped on his horse, drew the knight's sword from his waist, and growled, "I will use today's opportunity to teach you one last lesson. How to protect yourself from unknown dangers and how to judge the strength of the enemy. Learn it well. This will be enough for you to benefit from for the rest of your life!"

The knight team had just left.

A carriage drove into Shijian Village.

A middle-aged man with a big belly came down from the car. His face was ferocious and his facial features were almost squeezed together by the fat on his face. After getting off the car, he walked straight to the largest house in Shijian Village, which was the home of the village chief.

"Carlo! Get out here!"

The middle-aged man banged on the door. The gold rings on his index finger and thumb left dents on the wooden door, and the jewelry hanging on his body also jingled with his movements.

After a while the wooden door opened.

Carlo looked haggard, with dark circles around his eyes. It was obvious that he had not slept well during the two days that Irene was missing. However, it was not because he was worried about Irene, but because he was afraid that trouble would come to him.

Now comes the trouble.

"Mr. Solor, please give me a few more days. I have already issued a bounty to find Irene. A team of knights just went there. They will definitely be able to find Irene!"

"Grace?!"

Solor's eyes narrowed into slits, and he glared at Carlo viciously: "You and I both know how your daughter will be treated in the hands of the monster. After such a long time, maybe your daughter has already successfully conceived. What should I continue to wait for? Waiting for a rotten piece of meat that has been toyed with by the monster to come back? Return my deposit, my patience is limited!"

In order to successfully marry the beautiful girl Irene, Solor paid a deposit of three gold coins in advance. Now he came to get the deposit back, but Carlo had spent all his money on the bounty and could not pay anything.

"Mr. Solor, I don't have a penny on me right now..."

Carlo had a sad face.

There are so many regrets in my heart.

If he was not so anxious, with Irene's beauty, she could marry Kate in the future. When Kate became a knight, she would definitely help his son enter the Knight Academy. But he was in a hurry. Now, his daughter is nowhere to be found, his money is gone, and he even owes the evil merchant three gold coins.

“No money?!”

Solor looked Carlo up and down, and finally his eyes fell on Carlo's house.

……

The merchant finally left Shijian Village satisfied.

It was a sure win to buy a property in Shijian Village by spending only three gold coins. Not to mention that this was the former village chief's house and it was big enough, Shijian Village was different from other small villages.

First of all, Shijian Village is backed by the Sunset Forest, and there is an Adventurer's Guild in the village, which will attract mercenaries, adventurers and traveling merchants. Secondly, the lord of Black Tower City has been replaced, and the current lord is the honorable fourth-level magician Megan.

That lord was very ambitious. As soon as he took office, he announced that he would develop the Sunset Forest, drive out the monsters, and gain more territory for humans.

If this really happens, Shijian Village will only become more and more lively. Maybe one day, Shijian Village will become Shijian Town or even Shijian City. At that time, the price of this small house will more than increase a hundred times.

When the businessman's abacus jingles.

Carlo and his son could only hold two quilts and carry a wooden bucket filled with their pots and pans, and there were some sundries around them like garbage.

"Damn it! That man is simply a bandit and a robber!"

Carlo was embarrassed by the pointing and criticizing of the surrounding villagers.

His home is now occupied by Solol's men, and Solol very "humanely" tells him that if he has no place to sleep, he can sleep in the cowshed.

"Dad, I don't want to sleep in the bullpen."

Carlo's son, Peter, carried a wooden sword on his back, his face full of resentment: "I am a future knight. How can a noble knight have a dark history of sleeping in a cowshed?"

"But Pete, we only have the bullpen now." Carlo touched his son's head lovingly and sighed helplessly: "Pete, be patient. When you become a knight, people will only remember your glory and will not care about your past."

However, Pete turned a deaf ear to his father's words of comfort.

"Give me the money, I want to sleep in a hotel."

"Ah, my child, where shall I find the money?"

"You can sell these things, your hunting bow and your broken sword."

"But these are what we use to make a living..."

But Carlo said it anyway.

Pete didn't want to sleep in the bullpen.

He cried and made a fuss, rolling on the ground.

In the end, for the sake of face and to prevent his son from being wronged, Carlo had to sell a lot of things, most of which belonged to Irene, which was barely acceptable.

...

"Okay, Pete, let's go to the hotel."

Coming out of the grocery store.

Carlo touched the purse at his waist and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it's only a few dozen silver coins, it's easy for him to stay in Shijian Village for a month. Besides, he is the village chief, so he should be given some discounts. He can think about how to make a living during this month. At worst, he can go back to his old job of hunting.

"Dad, will my sister come back? Can she still be sold for money?"

"I don't know." Carlo pulled his son's hand and said angrily, "Don't mention that jinx in front of me. She is just like her mother, a bitch!"

"I heard that those monsters would use human females as breeding grounds, so wouldn't that mean my sister..."

"Probably. Anyway, forget about selling it to that bastard Solor for a high price."

Peter thought about it, rolled his eyes, and suggested: "Dad, my sister is still useful. If my sister is found and no longer pure, we can sell her to us to make money."

"Oh, my goodness! Why didn't I think of that? My dear son, you are so clever!"

……

In the dim streets of Shijian Village.

The figures of father and son gradually walked away.

And for the demons, the wonderful night has quietly arrived.

Chapter 22: Demons also prefer good children

It was already dark when Caesar returned to the vicinity of the nest.

"Have you been out for that long?"

He muttered to himself.

Cersinati, who was limping behind him, couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Mr. Caesar!"

A clear voice was heard, like that of a lark in the woods.

Caesar looked up and saw Irene standing at the door of the nest waving at him. Two goblins were guarding nearby, one on the left and one on the right, looking very obedient and not looking away.

"Mr. Caesar, you are finally back. I have already prepared the meal."

Irene welcomed Caesar into the cave like a wife welcoming her husband home, and selectively ignored the elf lady behind her.

Caesar hung the Axe of Destruction on the wall.

The tip of his nose has already caught the aroma of food, and his eyes scanned deep into the cave. Shana was sitting against the wall. She seemed to be in better condition, holding a little rabbit in her arms, with a faint smile on her pretty face with two dimples, looking over here.

Three dishes were already placed on the rock that served as a dining table.

One of the plates was fruit, the sunset fruit commonly seen in the Sunset Forest, which was sweet and astringent but quite juicy. Sometimes when Caesar was thirsty he would pick some to eat; another plate looked like fried eggs, but it was unknown what kind of eggs they were; the last plate was grilled fish, the common saury found in rivers, probably caught by goblins. To be honest, it wasn't grilled very well, but it should be edible.

"well done."

Caesar still gave Irene a little encouragement.

[Irene's favorability towards you -1, currently 69 (favorable)]

Caesar: “(￣ェ￣)???”

What the hell?

How come a compliment fell?

He glanced at Irene in surprise, but Irene still had the same expression, an eager look, like a kitten seeking credit, waiting for her owner's evaluation.

strangeness……

Caesar didn't understand, so he picked up the still hot fried egg and took a bite. He then spit it out. Since he had robbed a caravan before, there were simple spices in the cave, such as salt.

I don't know how much salt was put in this fried egg.
