Chapter 34 Mark's experience

"What? My youngest son left the castle at night?" Baron Russell got the news from his eldest son the next day. After a night of hangover, he pressed his swelling head.

"Yes, my father, Dick left with his servant last night when we held a night banquet. I really don't know what trouble he caused when this family was busiest." The Baron's eldest son was secretly happy. The brother's farewell meant that the baron's property would be less divided when it was divided, and he had long been disgusted with this annoying brother.

"Damn it, it's damn." Baron Russell left his eldest son angrily and rushed into his bedroom, where his wife was sitting peacefully on a wooden chair, embroidered with his maids, and the women were wearing wide, narrow waisted dresses with wide cuffs, and they usually wrapped their heads in thin linen turbans.

"Sir." When the maids saw the angry baron, they stood up and saluted. When they saw the baron's angry look, they took a tactful retreat. When the maids had just left the bedroom, they heard the baron's roaring sound coming from the bedroom.

"Look at your good son, he ran away from home without saying goodbye." The Baron grabbed his wife's slender arm and shook it hard. The Baron's wife was his second wife. She was very young, weak and sensitive, with a beautiful face, and always had indelible sorrow between her eyebrows. She didn't know what had happened, and her thin body was pulled by the Baron.

"What happened to my husband?" When he heard his son running away from home, the Baron's wife asked quickly.

"At the most dangerous moment of our family, your lame son actually ran away, coward, mean, wild breeder." The Baron cursed rudely, and the Baronosa collapsed on the chair, covering her chest with her hands, and her face turned pale because of the Baron's curse.

"No, no, something must have happened."

"Hmph, when I married you, I should have thought that you can't give birth to a strong heir." The Baron left his wife and left without looking back. If it weren't for the rich enough dowry brought to him by this wife, the Baron wouldn't have agreed to this marriage.

"My son, you have gone there." The Baroness collapsed on the chair and cried helplessly. When the maids saw the baron leaving, they hurried to their mistress to comfort their mistress.

"My father must be furious at this time." Dick said to himself as he rode on the horse. The only thing he was worried about was his mother, but if he didn't create a career, how could he go back?

"Young Master, you will reach Mark through this forest." The little servant said happily.

"Very good." Just as Dick and his servant were about to enter the forest, several Ruvids in chain armor and holding battle axes suddenly rushed out of the forest.

"Hey, what are you doing?" asked the Ruvid man in a rough voice.

"Young master, yes, yes, yes, ruvaid." The little servant almost rolled down from his horse in fright. It was no wonder that the ruvaid's reputation made the bravest knight uneasy, let alone a little servant who had never seen the world.

"We are going to Mark, who are you?" Dick also saw the real Ruvets. These Ruvets are much more terrifying than the ones described in the book. They are tall, with blonde hair, and blue eyes like hungry wolves in the dark night. The battle axe in their hands are stained with blood, like a group of ferocious beasts with two feet.

"Oh, you can't be spies, are you?" asked the Ruvid.

"No, I'm just a traveling scholar. I don't have much money, so you can't rob anything from me." Although Dick was scared, he said with a strong impulse.

"Scholar? I don't know what it is. Since I'm not a spy, go in." The Ruvid yawned and gave up his way. It was probably obvious that it was just two young children, so it was not difficult.

"Thank you." Dick bent over immediately, and then walked past the Ruvid with the little servant cautiously. After walking over, Dick breathed a sigh of relief.

"Young master, it's so terrible. How could these Ruveids stay in Mark? Is this place already occupied by Ruveids? Let's not go." The little servant said to Dick with trembling all over.

"I don't think so. Look at these Ruveids did not harass passers-by. In my opinion, these Ruveids must have been hired by Lord Mark." Dick quietly turned his head and observed carefully, and then whispered to the little servant, "It's really strange, how could these rebellious Ruveids help Lord Mark defend the border here?"

Just as Dick was full of curious questions, a figure suddenly rushed past the bushes in the forest. Dick stretched his neck and looked at it. It turned out to be a frightened hare, which was really rare in the approaching winter.

"Hey, kid, have you seen the rabbit just running over?" Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves sounded from the forest, and a red-haired girl on a horse appeared in front of Dick.

"No, I didn't see the noble Highness." Dick quickly saluted the girl Ruvid with noble etiquette.

"Huh? You know me." The girl Ruovid asked curiously. She thought for a while that she must have never seen this boy.

"I don't know." Dick replied honestly.

"Then how did you know that I am Your Highness? Huh?" asked the girl Ruvid with a smile.

"Of course, only the noble Royal Ruvid will be wearing scales and the otter shawl behind you. The pin of your otter shawl is made of silver crows. It can only be used by the royal family. It represents the divine will of God Odin." Dick said slowly without panic.

"Well, you are so smart. There are many people in Ruvid who can't tell you. How did you know?" Ruvid asked curiously.

"It's all said in the book. There are descriptions of the royal family in the poems of Novede. I happened to read it." Dick pulled out a book from the luggage attached to his horse, raised it and said to Shari.

"Well, it's so interesting. Are you going to Mark?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"If you have the chance, you will definitely come to visit Mark Fort. Schwab will be very happy. He likes smart people very much."

"Yes, Lord Lord?"

"Yes, that guy, but I still have to hunt. I promise to kill a black bear today. If it can't be taken down, Schwab will make a joke." Princess Sari, patted the horse under her crotch, and then continued, "Let's go."

"Yes, the princess." At this time, Dick discovered that there were many Ruvids hidden in the forest. They quietly surrounded Dick and his group until Sally spoke. If Dick had any evil behavior, there was no doubt that Ruvid's flying axe would split him into pieces.

"It's so scary. How many such guys did Mark hide?" As a sound of horse hooves sounded, Sari and her group gradually moved away. Dick wiped the cold sweat from his head in the cold wind, and he said in a low voice.

"Master, are you going to attack these terrible people?" The little servant leaned against his master tightly. He looked at the fierce Ruvid people and felt that his courage was about to be scared.

"Let's go." Dick continued to walk towards Mark with his little servant. As he walked into the path in the territory, there were gradually more people, many of which were travelers from all over the country, wearing felt hats and carrying luggage, which usually contained various small commodities.

"Wow, Master, it's so prosperous here." When they saw the market under the Mark Fort, which stood on the small plain, there were endless merchants, and merchants were selling all kinds of goods in the market. On the banks of the rivers passing through the territory, several hydraulic mills were operating loudly. Although it was already cold early winter, the farmers were still working in the fields. Dick, who was strolling in Mark, saw the farmers, watering the collected manure in their own fields.

"Young Master, what are these people doing? They watered the feces in the ground. They were so dirty. Can this kind of thing be used?" the little servant said almost pinching his nose.

"Well, I don't know, but I think there must be some reason." Dick looked at everything about Mark with great enthusiasm. All of this was so novel.

"Young Master, let's find a hotel to stay in, but I don't know if there are hotels available for outsiders here."

"Let's ask." Dick asked a merchant, who told him that there was a club for merchants under the Mark Fort, but it was only available for merchants. Dick brought the little servant to the club with a try, and saw that it was a two-story house made of stone and wood, which looked very strong and was enough to shelter from the wind and rain.

"We only provide it to merchants here, probably you are not a merchant." When Dick asked to live, the club refused Dick's request. Although merchants often gathered in Mark, in order to avoid strict espionage review procedures, temporary residence services were not provided to outsiders, so the club's servants refused Dick's request.

"What should I do? Master, it's too cold outside, you will be frozen to death if you sleep in the open." The little servant said embarrassedly.

"Don't worry, I'll think of a solution." Dick and the little servant stood outside the business club. At this time, the two businessmen were arguing about something while walking, and Dick hurried forward.

"You should pay for the fee for going to the castle to find the clerk to create a contract."

"No, no, no, sir, the goods I have sold to you are cheap enough to be out." Another merchant shook his head, their conversation seemed to froze. Dick thought for a while and hurriedly limped in front of them.

"Gentlemen, is there anything to serve you?" Dick asked.

"You? Who are you?"

"That's right, I'm a traveling scholar. When I hear your conversation, I happen to make a contract."

"Oh? How much is your fee?"

"I don't need any fees, I just want to ask you for help?"

"What's the busy?" asked another businessman.

"I came from a foreign country and wanted to live in this club, but only merchants can live here, so I would like to ask you to help me stay in the club tonight."

"Ah, this is easy, we just say you are our companion."

"Okay, don't worry, sirs, I will pay for the accommodation here myself." Dick said happily.

"Haha, young man, this is your first time in Mark."

"Yes."

"Don't worry, accommodation in Mark's business club is free."

"Free? How could it be?"

"Yes, we just need to tell the officials here about rumors from all over the world, so you can live there as you like, don't worry."
