Chapter 5 Choice
After entering the city of Carthus, Suren separated from the caravan, and the caravan continued to the trading market, while Suren prepared to go to the hotel first.
Pushing open the door of the inn, the noisy sound wrapped in the smell of ale greeted me, the air was a little muddy, it was the afternoon, and the business of the inn had just begun.
Su Lun's arrival did not attract the attention of others, and under the guidance of the waiter, Su Lun came to the room on the second floor, took a brief rest, and went downstairs directly.
"A glass of ale! Suren went to the bar and tossed a silver nar in his hand.
Catching the Yinnar who was thrown over, the innkeeper glanced at it and put it away with a smile, "No problem! This is your ale, we have roast lamb chops, mushroom and potato beef stew, and pork pies, all of which are the signature dishes of our hotel, what do you want to eat?"
"Grilled lamb chops!"
"Please wait, your meal will be coming soon!" the middle-aged boss turned around and yelled directly after speaking.
"Bill, where are you dead? Hurry up and deliver this gentleman a roast lamb chop!"
Soon a roast lamb chop with a charred outside and tender inside was delivered, and Su Lun tasted it, and it tasted really good, at least much better than eating it in the wild.
After gobbling it up, Suren took a sip of ale with a satisfied face, and then leaned back on the table while listening to the people in the hotel brag.
Su Lun didn't live in a high-end hotel, most of the people who mixed here were mercenaries, and the tavern was almost full at this time, with the sound of drinking, playing cards, chatting and the scolding of the maids resounding in a lively and lively manner. These mercenaries who are walking all over the world come back safely from their missions, and they all need to vent.
They brought news from all over the world, and although a lot of the news was bragging about the mercenaries, there were still some uses in it, such as local prices, and some information about the surrounding cities.
Ordinary pig iron tools are inexpensive, an axe is a silver narr, and a saw is more expensive than two silver narr. However, military iron weapons are very expensive.
A military-style longsword is worth ten jinnars, made using a hundred steel refining process, without any transcendent enchantments, mixed with some black steel to improve the toughness of the weapon, and the price is cheaper than that of Karen City.
A half-length chain mail, made using the ring buckle process, the material is also made of 100 steel, without enchantment, and the price is 70 jinnar. This price is equivalent to the savings of a civilian household for three years. The price of an ordinary building in the outer part of Carthusian is 100 kinnars.
As for the more advanced plate armor, the price of the whole body armor is 400 to 500 jinnars. This well-made plate armor was also something that only knights could afford. And because plate armor is expensive, the vast majority of knights' plate armor is ancestral.
So when you see a knight on the battlefield wearing ancestral armor, don't be surprised how much they value family honor, or tradition, when in reality they just don't have the money to get a new one.
Su Lun now has more than 6,000 gold nar in his hand, and these gold coins can only arm a team of fifty fully armed warriors at most, of course, if it is used to recruit the kind of militia that only issues one spear and leather armor, it can recruit five hundred or even more, but the gap between the two sides, those heavily armed warriors, it is estimated that a single charge can destroy these militias.
Suren came here to obtain a fief and a knighthood. As a nobleman, there are many ways to want fiefs and titles, the easiest is to reincarnate as a good father, and inherit the territory and title directly from your father when you become an adult, of course, this requires you to become the eldest son.
The second is to join the army, get enough merit on the battlefield, and you don't die on the battlefield, and when the time comes to reward the meritorious deeds, you can be canonized as a baron by the king and given a fief.
Third, this method is very operable, first of all, you have to be handsome and handsome, and then you have to be in good health, it is best to reach the quasi-knight level, find a countess with a title domain who has a dead husband, if you can successfully marry her, then the title territory is all there. Originally, Suren had already found a target, but because of Count Karen's affairs, he could only say goodbye to the countess with tears.
The fourth is the Pioneer Order, go to the Council of Nobles, and then spend money to buy a Pioneer Order, and take someone to the wilderness to fight down a territory, as long as you succeed in persevering, you can become a territory noble, and the scope of the territory is much larger than other nobles.
High profits naturally come with high risks, and it takes a huge amount of materials to open up the wilderness, and the wilderness is not only inhabited by gnolls, kobolds, goblins, but also trolls, ogres, monsters, lizardmen, orcs, barbarian tribes, and even dragons. Bad luck, even the person himself became food in the stomach of the monster of the wilderness.
If you don't want any of this, then there is another option, which is to become a knight-level powerhouse, and then swear allegiance to a great nobleman, then you can get a knight's title and a knight's manor, of course, as a knight of this noble, you must serve for life and help him fight.
Su Lun naturally doesn't want to become someone else's vassal, once he is loyal to others, it is not a generation, but from him, all his descendants will be vassals of this nobleman as long as they inherit his title, this is not a lifetime, but a sale of descendants for generations. Of course, this approach is very attractive to civilians.
As for participating in the war, and obtaining fiefs and titles for meritorious service in the war, the Kingdom of Florence has been established for hundreds of years, and most of the kingdom's land is divided, even if Suren has made enough military exploits, the territory rewarded to him will not be much, there is a high probability that it will be a small town, and the area is pitifully small.
He didn't want to work hard to play with his life, and later sent him a small town in a remote area, don't think it's impossible, with the urine of those nobles, the probability of this result is as high as ninety-nine percent.
The first, two, three, and five are not suitable, so Su Lun has only one way to buy the pioneer order.
Putting his luggage in his room, Suren took his noble badge and picked up his sword and walked outside the inn, through the muddy streets to the bustling streets. Found a stone with clear water chestnuts on the side of the road, and Su Lun skillfully rubbed it a few times with his foot to rub off the mud on the sole of his shoe.
His destination this time is the noble council of Carthusian City, the pioneer order can only be bought here, in addition to the pioneer order, you can also donate the nobility here, of course, this nobility has no territory and title, it can only be regarded as an honorary title, but even so, there are many big businessmen who are willing to spend money to buy.
Every year, the Council of Nobles earns a large amount of gold for the kingdom, which is also an important source of funds for the royal family. The gold coins from the sale of the Pioneer Order and the honorary nobility by the Council of Nobles were fifty-fifty cents for the royal family and the local nobility.
