Chapter 331 Buying Emotional Value

The estate of the Arman family.

The open door welcomes the returning owner.

Lind had mixed emotions about being "back home" again.

He has the memories and emotions of "Linde Armann", but he is very clear that he is not the original Linde Armann.

He turned his neck slightly, taking everything in with his eyes.

In the royal city with a vast territory, the nobles' manor is a small territory with its own independent operating system.

The fiefdom system formed a hierarchical relationship between the king and the nobles. The land belonged to the nobles but during this period they had to be loyal to their monarch.

Until the allegiance ceased and the land was taken back.

In the manor, the nobles can have their own army, serfs, etc., as well as mills, farmlands, and even markets, so they can ensure self-sufficiency even without interacting with the outside world.

The main labor force of the manor comes from serfs, and there are very few hired workers and tenants. Human life is the cheapest thing both now and before the end of the world.

Lind searched his memory and could remember that the serfs often handed over the grain they grew as "rent". Of course, they did more than just farming here, they also had to do a lot of miscellaneous work.

Working 3-5 days a week and being free for the rest of the time was the daily routine of a serf.

Life in Alman Manor would not be too hard, because Alman made his living by war and chivalry, and was not active in exploiting land and food.

Now under Linde's leadership, he has changed the fine traditions of the Arman family and ruthlessly deprived most people in his territory of their rest time, and those people have to thank him.

Being able to survive and have enough food to eat is already satisfying enough.

Lind led Pierre, Pim and Tione through the long corridor in front and walked into the small castle building inside the manor. There was dust on the ground, but there were also dragging footprints.

They did not encounter any alienated monsters along the way. This was because when Lind left the royal city, a large number of tenants, serfs, etc. left Alman Manor.

Soon he heard staggering footsteps.

It came from the direction of the maids' dormitory, and a figure staggered towards them.

It was a standing red-skinned monster wearing a tattered long skirt. It was difficult to tell who she was from her appearance, but with Lind's departure, not many people stayed behind, so it was not difficult to guess.

She staggered towards Lind, and the changes in her body meant that she must have been affected in some way by the power of the nobles.

Pym took a step forward, but was stopped by Lind who raised his hand. He looked at the swaying red maid rushing towards him, then reached out and grabbed her neck.

He broke the man's neck to end his suffering.

"I'm late, sorry."

There was nothing worth strolling around in the entire manor, so Lind just looked at his own room, the rooms of his parents and relatives. When he saw the white bones with swords piercing through their abdomens, he didn't know whether he should be relieved or sad. At least he didn't have to face a fight with his blood relatives.

The top floor was very small and not messy except for the dust, which meant that no one had been there since Lind left.

Tione stood beside Lind and looked into the distance with him.

The royal palace can be seen from the windows at this position. The huge building is placed so high that one needs to look up to see it, overlooking the entire royal city.

"What can I do to help you?" Tioné seemed to be thinking about something.

"Just like that, don't do anything." Lind didn't want to waste too much time talking to an emotionless humanoid magic ring fragment. He opened the window, felt the gentle breeze blowing across his cheeks, and smelled the pungent smell of dust in the room.

Tione recalled what the undead taught her about "feelings", then looked at Lind and nodded slightly.

If you say don't do anything, then I'll do nothing. How simple.

……

Reina was lying on the fur-covered bed. After defeating Goliath, the undead had entered a strange state. Instead of being idle, they became even busier. But now she was a little confused.

She has rejected the undead's invitation to team up twice, just because there was something on her mind that bothered her.

Reina's eyes were fixed on the top of the tent. She was thinking about how she should return to the bloodthirsty castle and how she should respond to the monarch's mission.

During this period of time, she gained a lot, including the beautiful set of enchanted silver armor she was wearing, long boots that could increase her speed, a soft mask that fit her face, and a dagger with carefully carved patterns... She didn't use the dagger at all, it wasn't even as sharp as her nails.

But she bought it anyway.

No turning back!

They didn't do much, but they were beautiful, and her delicate and pretty appearance made her unable to take her eyes away.

The greatest effect of these things is the "wow" sound that the undead people make every time they see her wearing these things.

Reina enjoyed walking down the street in these beautiful clothes and getting stares, it reminded her of her life before the apocalypse, which was a long and somewhat boring story.

The first half of the story was her favorite part, but the second half bored her.

She used to be a "flower lady". Before the celebration began, she needed to wear very thin clothes, so thin that it seemed like she was dancing without wearing anything, and everyone could see what they wanted to see through the clothes.

They are dazzling during the celebration and receive countless cheers, but after the celebration, the flower ladies will do even more.

Reina really likes the feeling of being the center of attention. She remembers that she once met the only daughter of a certain nobleman, who was as beautiful and delicate as herself, but only on that day could Reina receive far more attention than she did.

Then one day, a long time ago, she preferred to use this method to tell time.

I still remember that when the sun was setting, she lost the glory of "Miss Flower" and a strong man found her and grabbed her wrist.

If you want to enjoy the feeling of being the center of attention, you have to pay a price.

Reina was mentally prepared for the "price", but what was waiting for her was not those things, but death and rebirth.

A very bored freshman.

Only now did she feel the value of existence again, working like crazy to make money, and then spending money on shopping.

To use the words of the immortal, although the things she bought were useless, she still gained something. What she bought was called "emotional value", and she loved emotional value.

But Reina also knew that emotional value could not satisfy the monarch.

The sunlight shone directly in through the gap in the tent, and when it fell on the rack she had specially bought to place the armor, the armor was immediately shrouded in a misty light.

Reina enjoyed the quietness here, which was in stark contrast to her boring and bloody life "long time ago".

She changed her clothes and came out of the tent, and someone greeted her.

Today is not a flower day, but every day can be a flower day.

But she still had to return to the bloodthirsty castle and report the situation there to the monarch, especially the situation of Lind Alman.

The golden man who shone as brightly as the sun was very powerful. After witnessing Lind killing the Dragon King Kurt that day, Reina even suspected that perhaps the monarch was not a match for that man.

They all belonged to "Hadwen", and Lind had already killed a powerful Hadwen, which meant he could kill a second one.

"We have to go back." Reina muttered.

At least Lind doesn't know himself, but the monarch can find himself.

Turning back to look at her tent, Reina was filled with reluctance.
