Tribulation of Mysteries

Chapter 14:

"In this era, if all the heirs die, the son-in law also has the right to inherit. Of course, it's limited to the direct line of descent.

"After all the men in the Davis family die, Sylvie will be a rare commodity worth hoarding.

"Moreover, those ignorant people always think that there should be a noble lord ruling them, and they have a strange sympathy for the descendants of fallen nobles. This is also a reason to have a marriage, to strangle all instability in the cradle!"

Aaron Sotos thought indifferently.

"And by taking this step, I can be considered to have completely given up on the fight. This can greatly reduce the repercussions of this war being too outstanding … If Colin is smart enough."

To be honest, he really did not have much interest in a mere piece of territory.

"Mortals all wish for immortality, but they can't obtain it. Now … that the true power is right before my eyes. What's the point of everything else?"

Aaron's gaze was firm.

Looking at this scene, Theodore could not help but sigh inwardly.

…

In the dream.

Aaron recalled the various videos and information he had seen in his previous life, and found something that could be used. Then, he began to repeatedly memorize it.

In the dream world, it was as if he had obtained the state of controllable hyperthymesia, and his memory was equivalent to a library.

At this moment, he was taking out the content that he was interested in, memorizing it, and then bringing it back to reality!

Although he did not have the ability of [Extraordinary Memory] in reality, the quality of an ordinary person was enough to recall the content that he had repeatedly learned in the dream.

Using this method, he could completely replicate some of the technology from his previous life.

He woke up, picked up a brand new handbook beside him, and began to write.

This time, he did not use Chinese, but the Green Forest language.

After all, these were not secrets, and he might even need to show them to the craftsmen for research. Making it too complicated was completely making things difficult for himself.

"Earth fertilizer, cement, steelmaking, steam engine … After my own territory is distributed, I can start these projects to my heart's content …

"It doesn't seem like we need too much. One fertilizer is enough for the territory to have a good harvest. After all, the current agricultural technology is really not good enough …"

The soil fertilizer was relatively simple. It was indeed a magical weapon for transmigrators to increase their production. The materials were also very easy to obtain. All they needed was fresh cow dung, soybean powder, and calcium sulfate.

On the other hand, the knight's territory was completely private. No matter what business he did on it, he did not have to worry about Theodore directly taking it away.

Furthermore, as long as he did not rebel and fulfilled his duties as a vassal, the lord would not be able to do anything to him …

…

After putting away the notes, Aaron shook the bell on the table.

A maid immediately came in, cleared the table for him, and picked out his clothes.

"Tia, this is yours."

Aaron stuffed a gold coin into Tia's clothes. Looking at the little maid's shy expression, he suddenly said, "After Colin's wedding, I'll probably go to the Blackstone Manor and seal it up. Think of a way out in advance and tell me."

Hearing this, Tia's expression could not help but change.

For the maids in the castle, they were used to living a luxurious life in the castle. Most of them were unwilling to return to a peasant lifestyle and suffer.

There were not many ways out for these maids. Becoming the lord's lover was probably the best.New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on no/vel(b)in(.)co/m

In this era, even the maids who loved to daydream would not think of becoming the mistress of the castle.

Other than that, they would be given to the stewards and their sons.

Of course, maids with skills could continue to work in the castle as cooks or nannies who taught the ladies.

The worst outcome would be being chased out of the castle when they grew old, marrying a farmer and living a hard life.

Looking at the maid biting her lips, Aaron continued expressionlessly, "Whether you want to continue following me, or take a fancy to a steward or his son, or want a sum of money … You can tell me. You don't have to answer me immediately. You have a few days to think about it."

He had to admit that he did not have much feelings for this maid. This was already the best he could do.

After dressing up, Aaron walked out of the room and into the garden.

Suddenly, his nose twitched as he caught a whiff of the aroma of roasted meat.

"Ginny, it's you!"

Aaron turned around and came to a certain corner, where he saw Ginny who was secretly roasting a deer.

On the spotlessly white marble, there was a grill, wire netting, and all sorts of seasonings in bowls and plates, all of which used precious spices.

A deer leg was hanging to one side, and Ginny's maid was cutting off pieces of deer with a dagger and putting them on the grill. Another plate was piled full of roasted deer, and Ginny ate until her mouth was dripping with oil.

Hearing that someone was coming, the little girl was very alarmed at first, but only relaxed when she saw that it was Aaron. "Big Brother Aaron …"

Ever since he had taught her how to eat deer last time, especially the recipe for the dipping sauce, Ginny seemed to like it very much.

Aaron laughed and sat down. He casually took out a dagger and cut off the deer leg.

The sliced deer sizzled on the grill and was sprinkled with spices every now and then. After it was done, the aroma lingered in his mouth.

Aaron ate to his heart's content, as if he were competing with Ginny to devour the roasted meat like a hurricane.

After they were done, the maids cleaned up the grill, and Ginny suddenly said with a cup of deer milk, "Mom has been very unhappy these days … and Sean."

Aaron didn't say anything.

The castle was preparing for a grand wedding. It would be strange if Lady Sonia was happy.

At that moment, Ginny lowered her head and said in a low voice, "They also mentioned you …"

Aaron was lost for words, but since he was the one who had brought this matter up, he was prepared to be blamed.

After all, even though Sonia and Sean were still in the limelight right now, once Theodore passed away and Colin took over, their fates might be even worse than his own!

At this moment, he already had a fief, which was bestowed upon him because of his contributions in battle and couldn't be taken away. As for Sean … If he didn't have enough contributions, even Theodore wouldn't be able to give him a fief.

His only way out was probably to become a wandering knight when he grew up.
