"Hello, sir."
Walking through the city, passersby took off their hats and saluted the unknown knight. They had heard more or less about what happened that night. It was because of this hero's presence that the cavalry finally restrained themselves and stopped the indiscriminate killing.
Compared to the untrustworthy and brutal noble, they would rather trust this knight and people like Guhuas.
Now, after the war, many parts of the city still have ruins and burned sites, but a general order has finally been established.
Gu Huas found several leaders of the rebellion at the time, and everyone got together to form a group of trustworthy people to form a temporary patrol team. They carried weapons and maintained law and order on the streets.
They are locals, so they naturally know who are the ruffians and who are the simple and kind farmers. Few people can deceive them.
With these people around, there were no more looters or thieves on the streets. Those caught causing trouble were now all sent to the nearby mountains to dig stones for rebuilding the city. There, naturally, there were people to deal with them.
Walking along the main road of the city, the knight came to the ruins of the castle, where many people were gathered.
Some of them were local people who came to watch the fun and were curious, and more of them were Atom Lord's subordinates.
Under the command of Guhuas, the guards were moving bricks and rubble, digging for the contents. Occasionally, they found buried treasures, which they placed in boxes nearby for safekeeping, to be used as funds for the future of the territory.
"You, and you, stop dawdling there." Gu Huas waved his axe and pointed at several guards in the field, forcing them to speed up.
No one in the city could defeat this gentleman, so the guards, concerned for their own lives, naturally dared not disobey. Besides, the young lady had also told them to obey, so who else could they complain to?
As for the steward, he was also in a small pavilion nearby, surrounded by several strong warriors, who asked him to identify the items dug out one by one and keep records.
"If you dare to cheat, I will make you lose your head."
That day, Gouldsworth's axe scraped against the butler Buworth's ear, tearing off a few strands of hair and making him tremble with fear. He had seen Gouldsworth kill Viscount Wenlani with his own eyes, and he believed that killing him would be a piece of cake, so he was naturally afraid.
The housekeeper had no choice but to obey the order and classify these things one by one and record them in a book.
The unknown knight said that if there is any discrepancy in the future, or if it is discovered that there was deliberate disclosure or falsehood, he will be held accountable.
Compared to the simple-minded Guhuasi, the nameless knight gave the butler a greater headache. If it weren't for him, the young lady wouldn't have listened and allowed these rebels to join the current viscountship.
These are enemies, how can we stay together?
Although he saved his life, the housekeeper was still worried and had to work every day.
"Let me take a look at this wine glass. It should be a product of the Imperial Fragrance Era. At that time, it was popular to use enamel to carve bird patterns on cups." The butler raised his glasses and observed it carefully.
"Just tell me how much it is." The rough man next to him didn't care about that.
"Ahem, this is hard to say. If it's a noble who loves collecting, it can probably be sold for more than 10 gold coins. But if you can't find a good buyer, it will be difficult to sell it." The butler frowned.
"Okay, just 10 extraordinary gold coins." The person next to him didn't care and wrote it directly on the booklet.
Looking at the numbers written down, the housekeeper felt uneasy. Who else could he turn to when he needed to deal with these things? Would it fall on his head again? But what if he couldn't sell them? It would be difficult to explain to these big fools.
"This is just an estimate, it's hard to implement..." He made his last struggle.
"Huh? Are you kidding me?" The burly man next to him raised his eyebrows.
"No, no, no, how dare I lie to you. Actually... okay, okay, it's just 10 gold coins." He wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly dropped the subject.
"Next, what's the origin of this painting?" As he spoke, a man brought in a damaged oil painting.
The painting shows a young noble girl wearing a light yellow and white dress and a sunhat, running among the flowers. There is also a shadow standing far away in the corner of the picture.
Unfortunately, the once beautiful painting is now covered in dust and stains, and the corners are even burnt and yellowed.
"This, this, isn't this Wen Lani's heirloom?" The housekeeper felt heartbroken when he saw the painting.
The girl in the painting is the sister of the Wenlani ancestor, the person who brought everything to the Wenlani family. Therefore, the significance of this painting is particularly important. It has been hanging in a secret room all year round. Even the butler has only seen it once at a banquet many years ago.
At that time, in order to show the long history of his family, the previous Viscount Wenlani hung this painting at the banquet, and it was then seen by everyone.
"Tell me how much it's worth." The person next to him didn't care.
"This, this, how can people evaluate it? To outsiders, it may be an ordinary painting, but to the Wenlani family, this painting is a priceless treasure." The housekeeper explained, looking at the burnt corners, shaking his head and sighing.
"Don't waste time, give us a decision quickly." Several strong men nearby had long been fed up with this housekeeper with white powder on his face. This guy had bullied many people in the territory in the past.
"Ahem, this, I think I need to ask Miss Gweil, after all, this is the inheritance of the Wenlani family." Helplessly, the butler had to think of another way.
Just as these people were about to get into trouble, a voice finally came to rescue them.
