Carter's picture:
“Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop.”
The sound of horseshoes rang continuously.
At the forefront of the group were Carter and his son Fez.
“Lord Father, how long do you think that kid can persist before he resells the territory and the city?” Fez asked with a cold smile.
Carter’s eyes flashed with slyness, looking at the desolate mountains in the distance. “This kid is a bit capable, but he probably won’t be able to stay there next spring. None actually manage to stay there more than few months."
“He he he…” Fez laughed coldly, turned his head, and glanced behind him. “Lord father, as long as these kinds of idiots keep coming for becoming City Lord, we’ll be able to gather enough money to leave this place and buy a high nobleman status very quickly.”
Carter’s eyes narrowed and his brows furrowed. He said coldly, “Not everyone can be the city lord in this place. If those people are hungry enough, they can even swallow people who came here to become City lords.”
“Fuck! Those damn bastards! If it wasn’t for them, we wouldn’t have to sell our territory and city.” Fez’s face had a savage expression like he was an evil wolf that devoured people.
“But…” Fez regained his calmness in the next second and smiled coldly. “But it’s also thanks to those beasts that we have so much extra income. Otherwise, does he really think that 30 gold coins can purchase a city and its territory with a nobleman status?”
“Ha ha ha…” Carter burst into laughter. Carter clamped the horse’s belly with his feet, raising the horse’s speed and increasing the group’s traveling speed.
………………
Two hours later, the group appeared in a city.
Lucas couldn’t help but smile as he looked at the wheat fields around him. He was an orphan on Earth and had also planted fields before(meaning working in the fields). Seeing this gave him a sense of nostalgia.
“How is it? This territory is pretty nice, isn’t it?” Without Lucas realizing, Carter had appeared beside him.
Lucas smiled. Compared to the situation on Earth, this place actually wasn’t that good.
“Let’s go! Let’s go into the city first. After today, this territory will be yours,” Carter said, smiling.
“Hm!” Lucas nodded and followed behind, observing the situation around him from time to time. He found that this territory was governed poorly and the residents were very poor.
Lucas reached a conclusion in his mind. “This Carter doesn’t seem like a good person.”
After traveling for a dozen more minutes, they arrived at the city. There was a rammed Earth wall with a height of about 3 meters.
Above the city gate hung a wooden board with large words engraved on it: Sedona City.
Lucas estimated the size of the city to be about the same as the size of a town on Earth. And territory size should be about one city.
The inside of Sedona city was so disorganized that Lucas thought he had entered a slum. But seeing how Carter and the others weren’t acting unusually, Lucas thought that it was probably normal in this world.
In the middle was a street with a width of about five or six meters. On both sides of it were houses made of wood and stone. They were so crooked that it seemed like a stronger wind could blow them down.
Lucas could feel that people were looking at him from inside the houses. The people on the roadsides with lifeless eyes made his brows furrow.
Carter saw Lucas’s expression and smile lightly. “My friend, they’re just a bunch of lowly commoners. If you’re unsatisfied, you can kick them out. They are just lowlife."
“It seems like life in this territory isn’t that good.” Lucas didn’t give Carter an answer.
Carter smiled and rode his horse forward. He came to a castle made of stone bricks and said, “My friend, this is where you will live: a tall, safe, and comfortable castle. It should match your standards. Right?”
Indeed, this castle was the most satisfying place Lucas had seen during the whole trip. Even the castle walls were higher than the city walls standing at about 5 meters tall.
People can even stand on top of the wall, which means that this castle can actually be used as a war fortress.
Lucas glanced at Carter. Living in this type of castle indicated that the other party didn’t have a sense of security living here. It seemed that this place wasn’t very safe.
After entering the castle, which is also the city lord’s mansion. They sat down in the living room. Carter made his people got out two items.
“This is the baron nobility medal and the proof of the status of a noble.”
Carter handed an exquisite bronze medal which is the size of a baby’s palm to Lucas. The medal had one word engraved on it: Baron.
“This is a noble inheritance document. As long as you sign your name on it. You will be Baron Lucas from now on a noble.” Carter passed him an exquisitely made sheepskin.
Lucas couldn’t help but frown when as he looked at the contents of the document. It represented a baron nobility’s proof and history. The blank space at the bottom had 4 or 5 names signed, with the most being Carter’s name.
Carter, who had been paying attention to Lucas’s expression the whole time, said in distress, “This isn’t my first time selling my territory, but the previous buyers all felt this place was too boring after they brought it and asked me to buy it back again. That’s why there are so many signatures.”
“Oh!” Lucas was surprised. He raised the corners of his mouth and revealed an intriguing smile.
The expression made Carter’s heart tense. He suspected that Lucas might have found out about something and he quickly said, “Alright my friend, quickly sign your name, and this city and its territory will be yours.”
Lucas took out a fountain pen from his pocket, signed his name on the sheepskin, and left his thumbprint on it. Carter then also put his own thumbprint on top of the name.
“Ha ha ha… Baron Lucas, congratulations, from now on, you are a noble.” Carter said, laughing.
