After getting in a newly arrived carriage, Judge Jagda asked Lawrence where he was going next. "Where are we going to send you next? Is it your family's mansion here?"

"No, of course not. That mansion is just an ordinary house." Lawrence shook his head, and then he asked Jagerda. "Can you recommend a safer place to stay? I think the information collected by you should know that if you count this time, I have been ambushed twice. Although both times I have escaped and even succeeded in fighting back. , But I really can’t guarantee that I will be able to escape again next time with as good luck as this time.”

"If you say that--" Judge Jagda frowned, and then asked a question that seemed unrelated. "If I remember correctly, you are not the direct son of Priest Lambert, are you?"

"Yes, but I belong to the kind of adopted son who is recognized by the family. Otherwise, I would not have the last name August." Lawrence emphasized that this world is a bit like the Europe of Lawrence's previous life, and one of them is that there is An illegitimate child of a blood relationship does not have the right to inheritance, but an adopted child without a blood relationship can have the right of inheritance as long as he is recognized by the family.

For example, the elder of the two cousins ​​killed in Lawrence this time has an illegitimate child over a year old, but he has no family inheritance rights. This is why the Count Sauer family needs to invite Mr. Lambert from the New World.

The reason why Lawrence finds such a slightly inhumane provision is because according to the traditional illegitimate child, the birth of an illegitimate child is often regarded as a result of moral corruption, and he is born with a certain original sin.

Therefore, illegitimate children are also a kind of dishonorable existence in this world. The reason why Lawrence wants to clearly explain his identity to the other party is to avoid being regarded as the kind of inferior person in social life, even if he himself does not think that illegitimate children are inferior, and he does not agree with this kind of society. Mainstream view.

However, it is obvious that Jagoda didn't care much about Lawrence's orthodoxy or not, but asked in a suspicious tone. "In other words, you don't have any secrets about the Count Sauer family anymore? Then why did the other party try to murder you twice?"

"You are right, it is indeed a bit strange." Lawrence was also lost in thought at this time. In aristocratic families, the secrets of a family are often only passed on to the eldest son who has inheritance rights. Therefore, it is basically impossible for outsiders like Lawrence to be exiled to the family branch of the New World to master family secrets.

On the other hand, because Lawrence is not the biological child of Augustus's family. Therefore, the bloodline inheritance that is common in this extraordinary world will naturally not appear on him. So Lawrence fell into contemplation after being mentioned by Jagheda, because he really couldn't figure out why the group of people wanted to assassinate him one after another.

"Okay, don't think about it. I thought that after torturing the captives, I should be able to find out why the group of guys attacked you." Jagda, who had established a friendship with Lawrence in the side-by-side battle, patted. The shoulders of his new friend comforted. "But what you worried about before is justified. I think you can live in our dormitory temporarily today."

For his own itinerary these days, Lawrence ruled out the intention of finding a hotel or going to the mansion of Count Sauer in the capital Wendobona for a few days out of safety considerations. So there are not too many places for him to choose to live in.

In the original plan, Lawrence had planned to temporarily settle down at the Church of the God of Knowledge in the city. After all, he has the badge issued by the Church of Knowledge, and it should be no problem to go to the church for a week or so with that badge.

However, because the Church of Knowledge is far less developed in the Old World than in the New World, the Church of Knowledge in Wendobona is not as large as the St. Gutenberg in Eagle Fort in terms of scale and staffing except that it has a longer history. church. Lawrence hesitated whether to go there for fear of causing them trouble.

Therefore, Lawrence immediately changed his original plan after hearing Jagerda's suggestion, because the other party still sent out such an invitation even when he knew that he might cause trouble, indicating that the other party should be able to cope with the next possible attack. It will not cause them extra trouble because of this. However, he still has a little question about the invitation of this new acquaintance.

"The dormitory of the court? Can outsiders also live?" Lawrence asked curiously. In his impression, the court should belong to some kind of secret operation organization, and the dormitory inside should not be open to the outside world. Just like in the 1970s and 1980s, it was impossible for ordinary people to live in the Lubyanka dormitory.

"Our dormitory does not only provide accommodation services for our members." Jagda said with a smile and shook his head. "Sometimes some important witnesses or people in need of protection will live in our dormitory. Make sure to stay under our protection when needed. In fact, our dormitory is more like a hotel opened by the court."

Probably to prove his own statement, Jagda added: “For example, those young and unmarried people or bachelors in the court like to live in the dormitory because they can provide a series of very low prices but very good overall quality. Services like room cleaning, catering, and mail pickup."

"Sounds really good." After thinking about it, Lawrence decided to accept the invitation of his new friend to stay in the dormitory of the court for a while. After all, it should be safer to live there.

The dormitory of the court is just behind the headquarters building made of heavy gray stones. It is a small four-story building on a hill made of red bricks and gray stones. This small building is connected to the court building by a fence, forming a relatively closed space with the headquarters building of the court.

"Are you building a fortress?" After getting out of the carriage and following a door on the wall into the space surrounded by walls and buildings, Nora couldn't bear the urge to complain in her heart. idea.

It’s no wonder that the little doll would say such things, because after walking through the door, Lawrence discovered that the ordinary red brick wall that looked two stories high from the outside actually had a heavy trapezoid with a large and a small upper part. The dam-like structure has a width of one meter and five on top. If you stand at the top of a dam-like structure, those walls that are a bit higher can just be used as breast walls.

In addition, this piece of grass seems to be for everyone's leisure. There are several half-meter-high steel-concrete platforms on the grass. The center of the platform is made of steel. It should be a reinforced basement entrance.

"You know the nature of our place, so some precautions are still necessary." Jagda shrugged and said, "After all, our place is the target of many evil people, let alone the city back then. Civilization and savage ~lightnovelpub.net~ The front line of the battle between order and chaos. Therefore, many old buildings in the city were constructed with consideration to the fact that if the city wall is breached, these buildings can be used as both independent and capable of fighting Supporting points for street fighting with surrounding buildings."

"The location of our court happens to be one of the most important highlands south of the city, so it was built as a key fortress from the beginning."

But when Lawrence took Nora into the room he was going to live in these days, under the guidance of a staff member, he realized this point. This room is very clean, but the area is much smaller than it looks. . Because the walls of the room are much thicker than normal rooms.

Not to mention that the window facing the street is not only slightly smaller in size, but on both sides of the window in the room there are actually a finger-thick steel plate that can slide through the sliding rail to the window to block the window.

"It always feels like this is living in a fortress." After looking at the house, Nara complained to Lawrence, "This house really doesn't look like a normal dormitory."

But Lawrence didn't think it was bad, and he even felt that this place was very good in his heart. After all, after chasing and killing people who were inexplicably and completely unidentified outside, he felt that such a place could allow him to sleep peacefully.
