After leaving the fortress, Arthur and his party were not in a hurry. On the contrary, Arthur deliberately slowed down the team.

    After three months in the sharp blade Canyon, Arthur is like a newly released prisoner, full of curiosity about the world outside the canyon. Taking the opportunity of returning to the castle, he naturally wants to have a good look at the scenery along the way.

    The road outside the canyon is flat and open, with dense forest land on both sides.

    Looking at the tall trees and listening to the unknown birds, Arthur felt relieved.

    When the party slowly passed through the woodland, the vision in front suddenly widened.

    On the horse''s back, Arthur pulled the reins and looked into the distance. On the left was a blue mountain range, in front and on the right were endless land, and the curved river was like a blue ribbon.

    Looking at the Lingfeng castle in the distance with the mountains as the background, Arthur couldn''t help taking a deep breath. He was excited and nervous.

    The party quickened their pace and headed for the castle.

    Just as it was getting closer to the castle and passing by a farm field, the people on horseback frowned and looked at the fields on both sides in doubt.

    At the moment, the crowd seemed to walk through the cesspit, and the oncoming breeze brought a strong and familiar taste.

    "Damn it! What did the manager of the farm do, and such a thing could happen!" Thorne cursed angrily looking at the dirty field.

    "That''s my idea," said Arthur proudly, looking at Thorne, who was embarrassed. "It feels good. In order to have such an effect, I spent more than a dozen gold coins to get these babies here."

    With that, Arthur nodded, looking very satisfied.

    Gold coins! Baby?!

    Seeing that Arthur didn''t look like a joke, Thorne was surprised. "Sir, why did you...?" Thorne thought of something and his face suddenly became gloomy.

    "Gustav, this fool!"

    "Hey, what''s your reaction? Do you think I''ve been fooled by Gustav?" Arthur said helplessly to Thorne''s brain.

    "Lord Arthur, although I don''t know what Gustav said to you, this guy has definitely deceived you. You must punish him this time!"

    "Don''t make a fuss," Arthur explained when seeing Thorne''s serious face. "I told Gustav to do this. It was my idea, not what bad decision he induced me to make."

    "But... Lord Arthur, how could you think of dumping these filth into the fields. The farm should cultivate these lands soon. Now the castle is in urgent need of food."

    Thorne thought that after life and death and guarding the fortress, Arthur had become a qualified Lord.

    But he never thought that Arthur would be bewitched by Gustav, spend gold coins and dump these stinking filth into the field.

    "That''s why I let Gustav do these things," Arthur continued. "With these natural fertilizers, we can have a better harvest and the castle can harvest more food."

    "Lord Arthur, these lands can no longer be cultivated. Now it''s time for the serfs to seize the time and cultivate new lands!" Thorne didn''t listen to Arthur at all. He thought this only when he was deceived by Gustav.

    "You haven''t planted any land. How do you know you can''t cultivate?" seeing Thorne''s strength, Arthur simply said: "I tell you, the farmer is a flower and depends on dung! Now it''s just fertile land. When the crops are sown, you have to keep irrigating with dung water!"

    "Ah! Irrigation with dung water, this..."

    Thorne subconsciously made a comparison between bread and fecal water in his mind, and then looked at Arthur with a painful face, "Sir, can people still eat the food planted like this?"

    Looking at Thorne''s constipation, Arthur was angry and said angrily, "you just care whether the bread is delicious or not! Sir Thorne, these methods are the summary of the experience of labor and human life and the truth that can stand the test of practice! Now I am sending you the first real fragrance warning!"

    "Lord Arthur, it''s obviously your idea." Thorne believed Arthur now.

    Although I didn''t understand anything, Gustav couldn''t do such a thing as irrigating food with dung water.

    They were probably the only young earl in the whole kingdom who could think of such a way.

    Looking at the land on both sides, Thorne looked sad

    After crossing the fields, crossing the moat and entering the already opened gate, Arthur and his party finally returned to Lingfeng castle.

    "Master Arthur!"

    As soon as Arthur got off his horse, the old housekeeper Benjamin immediately went forward and looked at Arthur who returned safely with a happy face.

    In the castle, the old housekeeper was the only one who still called master Arthur.

    Looking at the butler of Benjie, whose hair has been more than half white and his back is slightly bent, Arthur raised his chin and asked coldly, "Butler, everything will be fine in the castle when I''m not here?"

    Arthur meant to say something like "hard work", but this is his first time to see the old housekeeper of Lingfeng castle. If his performance is too different from that in the past, it will inevitably lead to unnecessary doubt.

    After all, the other party is an old man who has been in Lingfeng castle for decades. Let alone him, he is Arthur''s father and the old housekeeper.

    Moreover, many of his decisions during this period probably worried the old housekeeper.

    "It''s all right, young master. It''s the best if you can come back safely!"

    Although Arthur was still more stable than when he left, the old housekeeper didn''t feel wrong, but looked happy. I think Arthur went to the fortress once and finally grew up a lot.

    The bodyguard led the horse to the stable. As Arthur walked to the castle, he said to the housekeeper of Benjie: "housekeeper, let people prepare more hot water. I want to take a good bath."

    "Master Arthur, green and campers are here. They know you''re coming back. They''re waiting in the Council hall now. Would you like to meet them first?"

    "Hey, it''s quick now." Arthur stopped and asked, "when did they get to the castle?"

    "Two days ago. I should have seen the team withdrawn from the fortress and rushed to the castle immediately."

    "In other words, they ate and drank freely in my castle for two days..." after thinking about it, Arthur then said: "let them wait in the Council hall. If they hurry, they say I have something important to deal with."

    The old housekeeper hesitated slightly and was trying to persuade Arthur, but when he saw that he had marched away, he had to sigh slightly and turn around to order the servants to prepare hot water.

    ......

    "Leah, bring more hot water!"

    In the bathroom, Arthur sat in the bath pool, rubbing his bath and shouting outside the door.

    "Yes, Lord Arthur." there was a quick response outside the door.

    A moment later, a 17-year-old girl, dressed in a blue and white maid robe and chestnut hair, came in with a bucket of hot water.

    Seeing Leah coming in, Arthur quickly covered the vital part with a towel.

    I think he used to be a man with dozens of girlfriends. He''s seen a lot of such scenes, but considering the first meeting, Arthur thinks it''s better not to be too honest.

    Men should learn to keep a little mystery.

    Although Leia felt strange about Arthur''s behavior, she didn''t think much about it at all.

    Put the bucket beside the bath, hunched down, gasped, and asked carefully, "Lord Arthur, do you still pour all the water in?"

    "All down, all down!"

    Looking at each other''s white skin, exquisite three-dimensional facial features, and more obvious curves due to bending down, Arthur thought nothing.
