Chapter 309 Arriving at Darkle City and Going Straight to the Baron's House (4)
She returned to the restaurant on the first floor. Apart from the basic furniture such as the dining table and chairs, there was no other silverware left. Even the plates used as decorations had been divided up.
Fortunately, after the house was emptied, the environment was still very clean and not messy.
Ye Na picked a seat where she could see the door, and took out the food reserves in the space to set up a table. In addition to the braised pork and cold-mixed mushrooms that she made with the meat of exotic beasts, there were also various stir-fries bought from takeout and a large bowl of steaming rice.
She began to eat, but the servants were milling about outside the dining-room door.
They had never seen the food she ate, and they didn't recognize the stir-fried dishes, but they could smell the braised pork made from exotic beast meat. Exotic beast meat was more fragrant than local poultry and livestock meat, but the aroma wafting from the restaurant was strange, unfamiliar yet pleasant.
No one dared to enter and disturb the high priestess who was having her meal. The servants gathered in the kitchen, eating their simple dinner, mourning the sudden loss of their jobs, worrying about how long the money they were allocated would last, and chatting about what the high priestess who claimed to come for revenge was eating.
"Can you smell the meat she's eating? The meat must be from an exotic animal, but the smell is so strange. Do you think the nobles waged war against her country just to steal the spices?"
"I think so. You know, in my hometown, two nobles went to war for three months over a wild beehive. It's not surprising that His Majesty ordered a war over such expensive things as spices."
The cook came over with a glass of water.
"I agree. I just went to smell it. The meat is really fragrant, without any meaty smell. The chief witch must have used the finest spices. Such spices would be irresistible to the nobles of any country, not to mention the greedy nobles of our country."
"This great witch is so powerful. Do you think we will lose this war in the end?"
"You will definitely lose."
The butler also sat down nearby with a piece of bread and a cup of hot water. He broke off a small piece of bread, dipped it in the hot water, and took a big bite.
"The Great Priestess has come in. Her route must be to the capital. Either someone stops her, or she rushes into the palace."
The maids and servants around all gasped.
"Can she break into the palace? I heard that the most powerful nobles in the country live in the capital. They protect the capital like an iron barrel. Can the great witch break into the palace? She can't even get through the gates of the capital, right?"
"Why not? Didn't you see where the Baron's family went? The ability of this witch must be related to the power of space. Don't guess how far she can go. She went deep into the hostile country. We are all her enemies, but she only captured the Baron's family. She didn't kill us, let alone massacre the city. She was merciful."
The housekeeper's words silenced the maids and servants around him.
"Yes, thank you for the kindness of the Great Witch."
"By the way, has the soldier who fell on the street woken up?"
"Not awake yet."
"When will they wake up? Do we need to give them some money?"
Everyone at the table fell silent again. Their servants had already distributed all the remaining supplies in the house, leaving nothing for the soldiers. They lined up in the street to stop the witch, but were knocked down. The servants later dragged them back to the front garden, where they are still unconscious. The same thing happened to the four knights in the house, who were lying in the garden with the soldiers.
"No need to keep them. Soldiers have weapons and fighting power. They can control cities and villages. If the baron is gone, the knights will take over everything. Soldiers will not be unemployed, but we have no money and we can't hold on until we find a new master."
"Yes, I won't keep it."
"Do not stay."
Everyone at the table reached a consensus, and the male and female butlers didn't say anything more. They were happy that they didn't have to share the money, especially the male butler, who was the oldest among the servants. He served the old baron and sent the current baron to the battlefield. He watched the next generation of heirs be born and grow up. Now that he was unemployed, he was the one who needed money the most.
After Yenne finished her meal and cleared the trash, she walked out of the restaurant and saw servants coming and going, holding knives and trying to dig out valuable decorations from the walls of the mansion.
Judging from their actions, if they had not been short of tools, they would probably have dismantled the wooden floor and stairs and sold them.
Seeing this, Ye Nai thought that she should not waste it. The long solid wooden dining table in the restaurant was a good thing. It was made of a whole tree trunk. It was smooth and flat, and the carvings on the edges were also gorgeous.
So she immediately turned around and put the dining table and chairs into the space.
Then, she called the butler to question him again, and this time she easily found out the route to Fort Malabene, and learned more derivative information, such as basic prices, and that on the way out of the city to the fort, one would pass through the villages belonging to the territory, and could also turn to the manor to collect a batch of supplies.
Since the master he was serving was gone, the butler of course didn't need to follow any rules anymore. He just answered whatever was asked and received three gold coins as a tip after the job was done.
In this country called the United Kingdom of Celsa, the general exchange rate of gold, silver and copper coins is 1:10:1000. Shop owners and ordinary people mainly use silver and copper coins, but the lower-class civilians spend every copper coin they earn to support their families, and it is difficult for them to save money.
The gold coins given by Ye Nai were enough for him to maintain a stable life for a period of time after he lost his job. Even if the local social unrest and soaring prices were caused by the loss of the lord's family, the prices would not rise to the point where the gold coins were worthless.
Back in the attic, Ye Na took out her computer, pen and paper, and sorted out the intelligence she had obtained, listing them 1234, and writing them down one by one.
The timeline has also been sorted out. As for the specific revolution and rotation of this planet in the alien world, we will have to wait for scientists to come and make careful measurements and calculations in the future.
Anyway, according to the time she saw on her watch, it gets light at six in the morning and dark at six in the evening, with day and night being almost equally divided. Whether the days will gradually become shorter and the nights longer as the weather gets colder remains to be seen.
According to her intuition, the rotation time of the two worlds should be similar. The time difference between the secret realm on the Blue Star and the Blue Star is exactly 12 hours. There is no difference in other aspects such as gravity, and the seasonal changes are also the same.
Ye Nai felt that the fact that two planets separated by the vast sea of stars could collide and merge together must be due to a certain commonality, otherwise the two planets would not be able to coexist peacefully, at least one would be torn apart, or both would be destroyed.
She also wrote down her thoughts so that she wouldn't forget them after she fell asleep.
Finally, she connected the action camera to the computer, imported the captured footage into a new mobile hard drive, put a label on it, wrote down the records of the scenery in the other world, and then went back to Blue Star to download some video editing software to do it slowly. This was her proof of being the richest person in the world.
After finishing the work on the computer, Ye Na spread out the books collected from the two nobles' homes on the floor. After flipping through a pile of art and poetry books, she finally found some history and popular novels.
