The afternoon sun shone gently on the eiderdown quilt covered by Werther. He turned over lazily and continued to have sweet dreams.

After returning last night, he officially visited his bedroom. This is the largest room in the castle. In the center is a three-meter-wide soft bed with a goose feather mattress. The other furniture is also exquisite and sturdy.

Long candles of various colors illuminate the room even brighter than during the day

In any case, Witte is still very satisfied with the place where he sleeps. He died while staying up late in his previous life, and he brought his extreme sleepiness to this life. In addition, he encountered so many things on his first day in Dawn Town yesterday,

As a result, he slept for a full twenty hours.

Suddenly, he felt that he touched something cold. He opened his eyes suddenly and found that Wile had placed a large ice cube next to his pillow.

"Whoa! Wile, what are you doing?"

"Your Highness, I just want to wake you up. Although you were perverted in the past, you have never been so sleepy."

"Well... I'm not jet lagged."

"Your Highness, what is the time difference?"

"Uh, nothing, what time is it now?"

"It's already two o'clock in the afternoon."

"No wonder I'm so hungry. Is there any lunch?"

"It has been prepared for you a long time ago."

"ah!"

"What's the matter, Your Highness?"

"I suddenly thought, does Lina need to drink blood to stay alive? Should we prepare some fresh animal blood for her?"

Werther nervously got out of bed and wanted to see his new friend.

"Wait a minute, Your Highness, Lina ate very well last night and today, and also drank horse blood." Wile grabbed the flustered Werther, "You are the most worried person in the castle."

"Then I'm relieved. Did you find the blood for her?"

"Last night I saw Ivan bleeding a few sick horses for treatment, so I gave the horse blood to Lina. I also found an ice box for her to temporarily store the unfinished blood. Lina's physique

You can eat human food, so drinking a mouthful of blood every week is enough to sustain life, and we don’t need to worry too much about this.”

"That's good."

At this moment, he heard the instructions from the parchment again: after having the lord's seal, he can fulfill his responsibilities as a lord openly. Today's task is to patrol the town.

After going downstairs, Werther walked to the dining room and found that the table used for eating was more than ten meters long, and Werther was the only one using this table. It felt really awkward.

Soon, the maid brought the food. Werther looked at the food on the table, nut bread, roasted leg of lamb, vegetable salad and oxtail soup. The cooking was still simple and rough, but it was much richer than what he had eaten in the palace.

While eating, the butler Tom said next to him: "Your Highness, today is your first day of officially running Daybreak Town. You should patrol the town and learn all the conditions of the town as much as possible, so that you can use the correct method.

Run the town in a targeted manner.”

"Well, thank you for the reminder, Uncle Tom. Actually, that's what I meant." Witte held the bread in his mouth, and he couldn't help but start to have expectations in his heart. Now that he has the seal, it is natural to run Daybreak Town.

"Your Highness, please don't talk with food in your mouth." Tom reminded again.

"Well, okay." Werther chewed the bread for a while before swallowing it.

After a quick meal, Werther was ready to set off.

Dawn Town is not big. If you take a carriage, you should arrive at night.

He should be able to read through the main locations. Of course, before the official inspection, he read the Dawn Town map manual given by Tom, which was of great help to him as a newly arrived lord.

Daybreak Town is the closest place to the southwest of the Kingdom of Notland. The farm is on the westernmost side of the town, the street is on the east side, and the castle where Werther lives is in the southwest corner.

The farm and the castle are close to the border, and on the other side of the border is the country of Brudin ruled by the vampires.

Tom reminded Werther before he set off that although vampires and humans have an agreement not to harm each other, there will inevitably be some vampires who can't help but suck human blood. It's best to bring garlic to prevent this from happening, because vampires hate garlic the most.

the smell.

Werther and Wile took the garlic and set off. Looking around the castle, there was only dirt and scattered weeds. Going north was a large farm, and going east were streets. He planned to patrol the streets first, and then go to the farm.

Tom found a carriage for them. It looked a little old, but it was warm and sturdy.

Werther sat in the carriage and Wile drove. Sometimes they would stop and the two of them would walk for a while on the road to observe the situation.

Most of the streets in the town are covered with dirt, and there are almost no stone pavements. In addition, it rained last night, and the ground is full of water puddles. Fortunately, Tom prepared shoes for Werther. When Werther opened the package, it turned out to be...

...about twenty centimeters of stilt shoes.

"Your Highness~" Wile said, "I told Tom that you don't like to wear shoes. If you must wear shoes, you only wear stilts."

"Uh, thank you."

Werther thought, forget it, just wear it, at least it won't make the shoes more dirty. He reluctantly put on the stilts. What surprised him was that his body felt as if he was walking on flat ground after wearing the stilts.

.

"Could these be my training shoes?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"No wonder..."

He looked at the scene around him. It was dotted with high and low old houses, crowded into narrow roads. The houses were all mainly brown, with occasionally renovated tile roofs.

Some of these houses are single-storey households, and some are buildings with many households. But coincidentally, there are vines growing outside every window here, presumably because the climate in Dawn Town is not suitable for planting large flowers.

There are no flowers, so everyone can only use wisteria for decoration.

There are also some rooms on the first floor that will put a paper on the window, saying that they sell certain items, such as dried fish, mutton, etc. If the customer needs it, knock on the window and someone will come over and ask the customer what they want to buy.

Occasionally, you will see some shops or stalls, usually placed in front of buildings, selling some traditional Nordland clothing. Men's clothing is mostly windbreakers, vests, tops, pants, boots, and women's clothing is mostly cloaks, long skirts, and braids.

Flowered straw hat, thick-soled cloth shoes.

Going further, there is actually a very small school with a few students studying with the teacher.

After looking at the general situation of the streets, Witte had a certain understanding in his heart. Compared with other places in Notland, this place is not really prosperous, and it can even be said to be a bit in decline. Fortunately, everyone seems to be enjoying it.

She has a rosy complexion and wears warm clothes.

"Wile, we've seen enough here, let's get back in the carriage."

"Your Highness, are you cold?"

"A little bit...the cold wind makes my skin hurt."

"Well, I remember that Your Highness used to be not afraid of the cold even if he wore very few clothes."

"Maybe I'm not done with this body yet.

It takes a while to get used to it. Stop talking nonsense, I’ll go in first.”

"Okay, Your Highness, although I don't understand what you are talking about."

Werther got into the car, Wile got on the horse, and the master and servant started their journey again.

"Wile, let's go to the farm next!"

"I understand, Your Highness."

Wile's driving skills were pretty good, and the carriage quickly arrived at the intersection of the castle and the farm. Werther didn't get much motion sickness today.

Werther got out of the car, and Wile saw Ivan who was treating the horse.

"Ivan, thank you for your hard work! How about the two sick horses?"

"They are recovering well. In fact, they don't have any serious illnesses. They just have some minor problems and need bloodletting for treatment."

"Would you ever bleed a horse again?"

"It won't happen during this time. The blood for Lina needs to be found elsewhere."

"Don't worry, I will find a way."

"Your Highness, have you finished patrolling?"

"No, we patrolled the streets and then came back to patrol the farms in the other direction. Let's go, Ivan."

"Be careful on the road, Your Highness."

Werther looked at Ivan's back and vaguely felt that he was a very reliable person who might be of great use in the future. But this was something he would have to think about later. The most important thing now was to visit the farm first.

As the carriage drove along the farm road, Werther opened the window a crack, and the aroma of wheat hit his face. Looking from a distance, he saw a field of wheat that looked like waves.

The harvest in the town is pretty good. The golden wheat ears are about to be harvested. The apple trees, pear trees and peach trees are also full of fruits. Judging from this scene, the harvest in Daybreak Town should be very good.

But slowly, he realized a problem. There were groups of wild wolves on the border of this town. Wright once said that wild wolves often destroyed crops and injured livestock. Such damage must be a lot near the border. Perhaps.

The further we go, the less abundant the harvest scene is like now.

The carriage drove nearly half the distance on the farm when Werther felt something was wrong. There seemed to be a large, bare and yellow field in front of him, which was completely different from the harvest scene in front. I was afraid that something was wrong starting from there.

Werther asked Wile to stop the carriage, and they walked through the miserable fields.

"Your Highness, why is this happening here?"

"It should be because of wild wolves. Look, there are a lot of wolf hairs on the ground." Witte squatted on the ground and looked at it.

"So that's it."

They continued to walk forward, observing the field. Some of the wheat fields were lying crookedly upside down, uprooted or broken at the waist, and some vegetables were rotten in the ground, including many tomatoes that had been stepped on and half bitten.

of lettuce. Occasionally, you can also see fields that have been abandoned for a long time.

In addition, he also discovered that the sheep pens that could originally hold a dozen sheep only had five or six sheep, which were probably eaten by wild wolves. The shepherd dogs lying next to them were all scarred.

It looks like those injuries should have been caused by fighting with wild wolves.

The most shocking thing about the second half of the farm is the vineyard. Most of the grapevines seem to be infected with the disease, not only withered and yellow, but also not bearing fruit. Only a few grapes are growing on the grape trellis, and the fruits are small and uneven. This way.

The output is really too little.
