章 91: Chapter 90 Rewards

"Warmly welcome Sir's triumphant return!"

On the little bridge over the Glowing River in front of Wuyao Snake Manor's annex, Charles and several officials stood at the bridgehead to welcome Russell and his party, returning from the battlefield.

No serfs had been driven to make up the numbers for this lively scene, which was a rule Russell had set before he departed.

He did not want such ceremonies to disrupt the serfs' normal work and lives. After all, there would be no shortage of missions to clear the trade routes in the warm half of the year ahead, and if grand welcoming ceremonies were to be held each time, it would be too wasteful in terms of manpower and resources.

"I salute you, Sir." Charles performed a hat-tipping gesture, unlike the knightly fist-to-chest salute, as a courtesy between gentlemen.

"Is everything well at the manor?"

"All's well," said Charles with a smile.
