A small square stood before the castle, where over two thousand people had gathered. As the two emerged from the castle, they were stared at directly.
Liu Feng saw disgust, numbness, and hatred in the eyes of the people, which made him shiver internally. He subtly glanced at Carter, thinking that this must be a Lord who had lost the support of the people.
Carter still wore that smiling expression, completely ignoring the hateful glances of the people. He smiled at Liu Feng and said, "These are most of the commoners in West Sun City."
"Make the announcement!" Liu Feng nodded. His mood had calmed down now. It seemed that there were many problems with the city he had exchanged for with five glass cups.
"Ahem..." Carter cleared his throat, and his aged voice sounded, "Dear subjects, I, Baron Carter, am transferring my baron title to Liu Feng today. From now on, he will be your Lord."
After speaking, Carter stepped back, making room for Liu Feng. The smile on his face grew even brighter.
For three seconds, there was silence, and then the people immediately began discussing among themselves. Some of the words made Liu Feng's mouth twitch.
"Look, another poor guy has been deceived. He must have been scammed out of his money by that old bloodsucking devil."
"Alas! It's us who will suffer. I hope this baronet doesn't increase the taxes again, otherwise, our family will have to move away too."
"Damn it, one after another, none of them know how to govern. They're just bloodsucking tumors."
...
Such words were transmitted to Liu Feng's ears without any disguise, and he glanced at Carter with doubt in his eyes.
"Ahem..." Carter coughed indifferently and said, "Baron Liu Feng, the commoners are all like this. They only complain verbally and won't dare to be disrespectful to you."
Before Liu Feng could respond, he smiled and said, "I have left a gift for you in the dungeon of the castle. Remember to collect it later. Well then, I will leave first."
After speaking, without waiting for Liu Feng's reaction, he turned around and left, boarding a carriage that had been prepared long ago. A team of thirty or forty people followed him out of West Sun City.
Liu Feng silently watched the departing team and then turned to look at the subjects who were waiting for him to speak. It was his first time facing so many people, so it was only natural for him to feel nervous.
"Ahem!" Liu Feng straightened his body and looked at everyone, saying, "Everyone can disperse now."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone began to disperse. Liu Feng silently watched this scene. He had just arrived here and didn't understand anything, so it was difficult for him to change anything.
Liu Feng returned to the castle and walked around, discovering that there was no one inside. He couldn't help but shake his head and mutter to himself, "They really left thoroughly, not even giving me a chance to understand. But it's fine that they left, saving me the time to dismiss them."
Now, he understood that there was a plot he didn't know about. Since Carter's people had all left, he felt even more at ease.
Although this territory was very impoverished and he had exchanged it for with five glass cups, it still gave him a place to settle down.
Besides, a castle like this would cost tens of millions on Earth.
"Although I don't know what that old Carter is planning, once something is in my hands, I have no intention of giving it up," Liu Feng said with a smile, feeling very pleased.
"Right, what was that gift Carter mentioned before he left?"
Liu Feng immediately searched for the dungeon in the castle. After searching for half an hour, he finally found the entrance to the dungeon in a remote corner.
It was a low house with an ancient lock on the door. Liu Feng found something to break the lock and cursed, "Carter didn't even give me the key."
The door opened, and Liu Feng felt dampness and a sour, moldy smell, making him frown. He had serious doubts about the gift Carter mentioned.
Liu Feng took out a flashlight from his space and illuminated the surroundings. He found that the walls of the dungeon were made of granite, with various torture devices hanging on them.
"A corrupt noble's dungeon?"
Liu Feng sneered and walked deeper into the dungeon, feeling a gloomy atmosphere. At the deepest part of the dungeon, he saw the gift Carter had mentioned.
Under the light of the flashlight, he saw a small figure huddled in the corner of the dungeon. Liu Feng estimated that the person was at most 1.6 meters tall and very thin.
"Hey! Is anyone alive in there?" Liu Feng knocked on the dungeon bars. He could only see the other person's back.
The sudden sound made the other person shiver. She turned her head, and the bright light made her close her eyes slightly. But soon, she opened them again and looked straight at him.
They were a pair of light blue eyes, beautiful like a summer lake, but with a deep sense of disgust. Her dirty little face showed no fear.
But what attracted Liu Feng the most were the pair of upright ears on top of her head—a pair of cat ears.
"A orc? A cat-eared girl???"
Liu Feng's eyes were full of astonishment. He didn't expect to see a live orc. He had been in this world for a month and had heard that there were orcs in this world, but he had never seen one.
Unexpectedly, he saw a orc in the dungeon, and it was a cat-eared girl.
