Angra's silent appearance made the old man mistakenly think that he had understood what kind of barren land this place was, and he no longer made things difficult for him.
Seeing that Angra was not very old, he also said kindly: "It's getting late now, if you don't mind, come and stay at my house for a night, and leave here as soon as possible tomorrow morning."
Angela, who was still standing there with her neck stuck, was stunned for a moment when she heard the words: "Where is the former lord's mansion?"
"The former lord came here to take a look at the town, and immediately took his own people back to his hometown, leaving nothing like the lord's mansion behind." The old man replied.
"Okay." Angra didn't expect his predecessor to be such an irresponsible guy at all, he sighed: "Then bother."
On the way, Angra realized that the old man turned out to be the mayor of this unnamed town. Years of undead attacks and wars had turned the town, which was barely considered prosperous, into what it is now.
There are quite a few houses in the town, but many of them are haunted houses that are in disrepair and uninhabited. Occasionally, bricks and stones will fall from the roof, and things like foxes and mice can be scared out of the overgrown houses.
One out of every three houses is occupied. That's pretty good.
In fact, even counting old guys like the old man whose half of his foot has been buried in the ground, there are only twenty-nine residents left in the town, and most of them are old, weak, women and children.
The young man either fled to the territory of the empire while he still had the strength, or was taken away by the royal army's strong men. Either way, there was almost no possibility of returning.
Although the old man is the mayor, his house is actually no different from the haunted houses of other townspeople, except that the roof is still intact, so there is no need to bathe in starlight while sleeping.
"Grandpa, you're back!" A girl who looked a little older than Angela ran out of the room, and then her eyes fell on Angela who was following the old man: "Who is he?"
"Vera, this is the new lord of the town, don't be rude." The old man said seriously.
When the girl looked at Angra, Angra was also looking at each other.
From Angela's point of view, if her sister's appearance is 8 points, then this girl named Vera is probably only 5-6 points.
Although many knight novels have characters such as "incomparably beautiful commoner women", this possibility is not high in reality. After all, commoners in this era, both men and women, have to work hard. No matter how beautiful a girl is under torture, she will become rough and vulgar.
By the way, many parts of the empire still retain the aristocratic right of the first night, but almost no nobles will really exercise this right in order to sleep with a few dirty and ugly commoner women...
On the contrary, except for some freaks born by close relatives, because each generation is marrying beautiful women to improve their bloodlines, the vast majority of nobles are not to say outstanding in appearance, at least they are very correct.
So although she couldn't catch Angela's eyes, Vera, who had 5 or 6 points in appearance, was already considered pretty good among ordinary women.
"My name is Angra Fate, just call me Lord Angra." Angra introduced herself. Having lived in an aristocratic family since he was a child, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with letting commoners respectfully call him an adult.
"For dinner, I still have some black bread here... Vera, go and get it out."
Walking into the house, the old man said to the girl.
"But Grandpa, we are running out of food..." The girl seemed a little hesitant.
"It doesn't matter, Master Angra is the lord, we must show our respect and kindness." The old man said resolutely.
Knowing that she couldn't change Grandpa's decision, Willa could only lower her head and reluctantly take out a wooden bowl from the cabinet.
Inside the wooden bowl were three fist-sized lumps of black dough with very rough surfaces.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I brought some dry food myself."
Looking at the black bread with a sour smell and mixed with chaff and gravel, Angra politely refused.
Then, under the guidance of the delighted girl, Angra came to a guest room temporarily rented to him. .
"This room is not as big as my toilet."
After the girl left the guest room, Angra put her luggage by the wall, looked around the shabby room, and complained in a low voice.
Then his eyes turned slightly red: Eldest brother will soon inherit his father's title, and by that time, the Duke's Mansion will no longer be his home, and he can no longer go back.
Fortunately, as the youngest son, Angra has suffered a lot of grievances since she was a child, and her mental adjustment ability is very strong. She quickly regained her emotions, and began to try to summon the lord game system after rewashing.
"The last time I was attacked by bandits, the system was activated in an emergency, and now I have nowhere to go to find bandits..." Angra scratched her head: "But if I'm not wrong, there should be a way A way to open that thing in a normal state."
Having said that, Angra is still at a loss as to how to call out the game panel.
"Open the door of flax! Hey, come out! Alahoo is open!"
I tried all the passwords in the story I wanted, as well as the spells I wrote down when I was learning magic (although I didn't learn it), but nothing happened.
If it wasn't for the Didi beating service that comes with the system panel that saved him from the danger of being killed by bandits, it was impossible for Angela to think that the game system of Lord Nashilaozi was just an illusion.
"There must be something I've overlooked... What the hell is it..."
He rubbed his chin unconsciously, trying to think hard.
At this moment, behind him at an angle he couldn't see, a white ball of light suddenly appeared 'whoosh', and that ball of light stretched out a tentacle to poke the back of Angra's head fiercely, and then disappeared 'whoosh' .
Angra didn't seem to notice this, but his eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt as if he had been inspired by the gods, and the words before the system page appeared flashed in his mind.
"Game, give us a new life..." He murmured that sentence subconsciously.
Then, that cool game interface appeared in front of him again!
"Successful! So the password is this!"
Angra jumped onto the bed excitedly, and habitually wanted to express her excitement by bouncing up and down on the bed as excitedly as in her own home, but the old mayor's wooden bed, which was already a bit rotten, couldn't support it at all. With such an impact, it collapsed with a click, and even Angra fell heavily to the ground, clutching the back of his head and rolling on the ground in pain.
"My lord, what happened?" Vera, a girl outside the door who hadn't gone to bed, immediately asked with concern when she heard the noise.
Although his appearance was a bit miserable, Angela's self-esteem as a nobleman made her unable to bear the sight of her embarrassing appearance by the people.
So he could only hold back his tears, tried his best to endure the pain, and said with his tongue out tremblingly, "Yu, Yu Nu Wu Gu."
