Start as Inherited Baroness

Simon and his men waited until dusk in the afternoon before they saw Knight Tulia returning with his men again.

"The ransom has been collected, please release our Baron Burrit!" they shouted.

"Go and check it. If it's correct, bring it over." Simon ordered softly.

"Yes!" Mailan responded, then led his men to ride over. After a while, he returned with more than a dozen horses and several carriages.

"Lord Baron, the number is correct." Mailanhui reported.

Simon glanced again, calculated in his mind for a moment, and nodded: "Bring Baron Burrit here."

"Yes, sir." Mailan answered and left again.

After a while, Burritt, whose hands were tied, was pulled over.

"Untie the rope quickly.

Baron Burritt, your ransom has arrived and I can let you go back, but you'd better not go against me again in the future.

Otherwise, today's scene may happen again. Simon chuckled.

"I will remember this heavy day forever," Burritt said lightly.

Immediately afterwards, the hemp rope binding his hands was cut by a guard drawing his sword, and then he got out of the way.

Burrit immediately staggered toward the direction of the Tulia knights. Several cavalrymen quickly rushed out and picked him up.

"There are quite a lot of horses in Beifeng. In this battle, they got more than 20 horses from the ransom and the seizure, and they still have quite a few left..."

Simon thought about it, but he didn't covet it much.

The cost of raising war horses is not low, and they cannot afford to maintain more. Now there are about thirty of them.

Among barons, this standard is not low.

Baron Burritt and his party left in despair.

Simon and the others also joined Li De and Yaman.

"Yaman, you lead the people and continue to build the fortress here. Kelile will stay here to prevent Burrit from leading the people to counterattack."

Simon ordered.

"No problem, just leave it to me. If you can't handle it, I will ask for help in time."

Carlyle nodded expressionlessly.

"Well, just call me if you need anything, and I will definitely come to help!" Simon said with a smile.

After that, he returned home with the ransom and loot.

The fortress in Fengjian Village is actually almost complete. Only one side has not yet been encircled. Normally, it would only take five or six days to complete.

Even if he was interrupted by Burrit, the construction period would be extended by one more day at most.

Not long after, Simon returned to Starfire Castle and watched as Mailan led people to put supplies into the warehouse and horses into the stables before walking into the Lord's Hall.

After taking off his armor, he sat in the main seat seemingly in a daze, but in fact he was checking the panel.

He won this battle and gained a lot of experience. Although he himself has not yet been upgraded, the characters in the team column have been upgraded.

After some strengthening, Simon closed the panel, and a dozen more soldiers reached the level of bronze warriors in physical fitness.

There are even two heavy infantrymen who are comparable to the Golden Warriors, and they are qualified even if they are used as knights.

Now that he has obtained some good armor and weapons, he plans to promote a few more heavy infantry and heavy cavalry.

Just as Simon was selecting people, Chunlan knocked on the door, walked in with a wooden tray, and said with a charming smile: "Master, the kitchen has made a new kind of white bread.

Mixed with milk, honey and eggs, Mrs. Winnis asked the slave to bring some for you to try~"

"Well, let it go."

Simon took a look. The bread was golden in color and fragrant. It looked very good and tasted pretty good too.

Chunlan bowed and turned to leave, but was stopped by Simon.

"Hey, it's been a while since I bought you. What did you do before?"

"Master, the slave was sold to Slaver's Bay for training when he was seven years old. He can't remember much about the past. He only remembers that he once lived in a town.

My father was well dressed and it had been a long time since he came to see us.

My mother runs a small manor, and she should be helping my father take care of it... Now that I think about it, I might be an illegitimate daughter of a nobleman...

Maybe she’s a businessman’s daughter…”

Chunlan looked a little disappointed as she recalled it. After all, she used to be a normal and fertile woman.

After being manipulated by the good masters of Slaver's Bay, she could only be reduced to a plaything. No one would be sincere towards an infertile female slave like her.

“Well, there are various housekeeping matters in the kitchen these days, and I think you’re doing a good job helping Winnis handle them.

Are you familiar with the tasks that life stewards are responsible for? Simon nodded and asked.

"The only thing I'm not very good at is the warehouse. I can count to a hundred. After a hundred items, I can't figure it out."

Chunlan felt happy, but frustrated.

Slaver's Bay taught them the Spring Crying Technique the most, but they also learned some other aspects, but very sparsely.

In fact, she can count to a hundred, which is already better than many farmers and slaves.

"Okay, okay, I'll teach you.

From now on, at four o'clock every afternoon, you call all the female slaves to come to the Lord's Hall, and I will teach you how to count the supplies. "

Simon pondered for a moment and spoke out.

Their foundation is too poor, so they need to put in some effort to enlighten them, so that they can use it easily in the future.

"Yes! Master~" Chunlan nodded obediently and looked at Simon with a charming look, her eyes were moist and extremely charming.

"come over."

Seeing her like this, Simon's heart moved. He hadn't eaten meat for several days, and there was a burning feeling in his body.

"Yes~" Chunlan understood immediately, twisting her waist like a water snake and walked over.

Simon hugged him...

After more than half an hour, Chunlan walked out of the Lord's Hall with a red face and sweat dripping down her face. She swayed her hips and walked away gradually.

Simon performed a life exercise, feeling comfortable and relaxed.

He looked at the honey and milk bread on the table and cast a spell to detect poison.

There was no problem, so he immediately picked up the knife and fork and started eating.

"Hey, it tastes really good, pure natural materials, full of fragrance..." Simon tasted it and quickly finished the bread.

He put the knife and fork back on the wooden plate and shook his hands. He felt that this kind of tableware was very troublesome to use, and it was not as convenient as chopsticks.

Moreover, it was far less convenient than chopsticks in terms of material collection and production.

It was just a little difficult to get started, and it took a period of practice, not as good as a knife and fork.

Simon thought about it for a while, got some parchment, and wrote the names of the soldiers who were to be promoted to heavy infantry and heavy cavalry on it.

"Mai Lan! Mai Lan!!" Simon shouted.

"Sir! What can I do for you?" Mailan, who was guarding the door, responded and pushed the door open.

"These guards performed well in this battle and were promoted to heavy infantry and heavy cavalry.

The heavy scale armor, heavy armor and weapons are all in the armory. You are responsible for distributing them. Here is the list.

When you are done, ask these people to come over so I can see them." Simon ordered.

"Yes, Baron!" Mailan responded respectfully.

"By the way, ask the carpenter to cut some sticks for me. Don't be too thick, like this..."
