The Viscount paid no attention to Kevin's greeting. He simply waved his hand, walked down the stairs, and walked towards the boxes placed on the open space.

"Where's the piano I want?" he said as he walked.

"Here, please look." Sharin asked the caravan member beside her to open the box, revealing the well-preserved body of the piano, but it had not been assembled yet and was lying on its side in a thick blanket.

The viscount's yellowed fingertips gently stroked the shiny and smooth body of the piano, and an intoxicated expression appeared on his face.

"Very good, very good."

Then he stood up and looked at Charlene.

"I mentioned earlier that the Musical Instrument Shop would also send a tuner to assemble the piano. Did you bring him?"

"We have discussed this matter with the Musical Instrument Workshop, but several masters in the workshop expressed their unwillingness to leave Longyi City. As you know, the southern border has not been peaceful recently..." Shalin carefully chose her words, and as he listened to her words, Viscount Mo Ruo's brows furrowed deeper.

"But fortunately, we have found someone who is capable of helping you tune and assemble. He is Master Jide's apprentice and now has superb skills. He can meet your needs." As she said this, Sharin asked the members to bring over a young man in his 20s.

The young man wore a dark green turban and a light robe. His slender fingers gave people a sense of trust in him.

After looking at the tuning apprentice for a long time, Viscount Mo Ruo snorted indifferently.

"My patience is limited. You must assemble the piano before sunset today, otherwise you will bear the consequences." After saying this, he left with his hands behind his back in dissatisfaction.

"Kevin, take a few people with you to help and try to get them done as quickly as possible." His voice came from a distance.

"Yes, sir," Kevin answered, standing at attention again.

The originally relaxed atmosphere in the castle became awkward and tense.

"It's okay. You've been learning from Master Jide for so long, you can do it." Miss Charlene had to comfort the young apprentice beside her. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be frightened by Viscount Moruo's aura.

After all, he was just an ordinary commoner and could not imagine the consequences of offending a real noble.

After giving some instructions, Miss Charlene came over.

"I'm sorry, Messia. I was going to show you around here, but I have to get busy with other things."

"How about this? I'll have some of my companions arrange a place for you to stay in the small town so you can rest for a while."

"It's okay. Work is important after all." Loran Hill shook his head to show that he didn't care, then walked out of the castle with several caravan members.

As she was about to leave, the girl caught a glimpse of a figure behind the glass window upstairs in the castle. This time, because of the angle, she could see it clearly. It was a girl in a round-necked dress with lotus leaves, about 20 years old, with fair skin and dark golden curly hair.

Is this Viscount Moruo's daughter? But she looks nothing like him. A few thoughts flashed through the girl's mind, and then she walked towards the gravel path on the hillside.

After arriving in this small town, some members of the Roentgen Chamber of Commerce had already rested. They rented a yard specifically for storing goods and carriages, and also arranged a lot of accompanying personnel here.

"Ms. Messiah, this is the room arranged for you. What do you think?" After spending these days together, most of the caravan members have gotten to know the swordsman lady.

"Okay." Looking at the room on the second floor, which was simply furnished but tidy, the girl nodded.

"Then let's rest here first. We will stay for a few more days." The young man from the caravan gave a brief introduction to the itinerary.

After arriving here, in addition to handing over the goods, they will also purchase some local specialties before leaving, staying for about a week.

In this way, Loran Hill stayed there for a while, taking advantage of the quiet time alone to practice his current extraordinary sequence.

The sky gradually darkened, birds in the forest flew low over the sky, chirping, and the setting sun in the distance dyed the leaves in the shade of the trees red.

A burst of piano music rang out in the forest. Although there was no rhythm, each note was pressed back and forth several times.

"Is it okay?" Miss Charlene looked at the apprentice who was wiping his sweat.

"It should be fine." The apprentice answered a little unconfidently. Although he couldn't find any problems at the moment, he still didn't dare to guarantee it.

"It's still a little while before dark, let's check again. Viscount Mo Ruo is still very demanding."

"Hmm." Then the apprentice played carefully and observed again.

Charlene turned around and looked at the gradually darkening woods around her. She felt that the evening breeze was getting a little chilly.

I really don’t know how Viscount Mo Ruo usually maintains this place. It seems that there are no protective measures. Won’t there be wild beasts coming here on weekdays?

Charlene thought to herself, her eyes scanning the ground.

"Ah! Snake, snake, snake!"

Suddenly, a scream of fear rang in Sharlin's ears. When she turned around, she saw a long snake the same color as fallen leaves wrapped around the apprentice's ankle, with its fangs biting directly into his thigh. The scene was chaotic and panicked.

The snake with dead leaf patterns was not very big, but its twisted body and triangular head made people feel creepy.

In response to this, Charlene couldn't help but take a few steps back, feeling a little flustered for a moment.

"What happened?" Hearing the shouts coming from the hill behind the castle, the guard captain Kevin rushed out of the castle. He jumped out and ran down the stairs with rapid alternating steps into the grove.

Seeing that the apprentice had fallen to the ground and began to twitch, Kevin reached over, grabbed the snake's head, pulled it out, and then kept shaking it, throwing the snake onto a tree trunk nearby.
