Chapter 32: Viewing
The matter soon reached the ears of the Duke and, of course, of the Mission. The duke seems to be very generous, and his own sons and nephews win neatly, and they don't have to bring people to find a place by themselves, which is a great joy. This kind of pride that the children have finally grown up and can let go out to fight makes the duke's face red. There were also rumors in the castle that they had fought well and were not ashamed. There are also people who are scolded, next time there is such a thing, don't hug your arms on the side, such a face-showing thing, don't rush to get on it, you actually watch the excitement.
What is small in the eyes of the Duke is a big thing in the Mission.
The commercial incivility of the Northland has never seen the comings and goings of caravans. It's a good thing that you have a caravan coming to exchange, and if anyone from the Northland wants to exchange, no one will stop you. If the caravan doesn't come, what should the Northlanders do, you don't have more, and you don't have much. Moreover, the goods brought by the mission every three years have nothing to do with the caravan, and this supply will not be missing a cent. The caravans that came with the mission were more like private goods carried by various nobles, but the profits of this private goods were relatively high.
The caravan, which has always taken advantage of big advantages, has laughed at the closed-mindedness and ignorance of the Northlanders many times behind their backs, but this time they were startled by the sudden blow.
If you can go to the north to contact your feelings, it will naturally not be a mallet, and the general principle is to salute first and then soldier. Etiquette is a judgment, a means to protect one's own face and interests when the strength is unknown. There will be respectful in front of people, fluttering and investigation in the back. So the various families in the mission related to the interests of the caravan have sent knights, and the knights who can go out with the mission are naturally considered elites, even if the force is a little worse, at least they will not have long brains, and most of the knights are both civil and military. Otherwise, wipe the ass of this one today, and give that one tomorrow, and this mission should basically be wiped out. From the perspective of both civil and military affairs, the Northlanders, who are known for their military force, are too far behind in literature.
When the mission sent a number of experienced knights to the scene, they found that the dragon knights were looking around with heavy faces. This made the people of the mission very dissatisfied, this matter has nothing to do with you at all, you just look around so generously, this is called destroying the scene, and it will have a great impact on the people who are watching later.
However, now is not the time to quarrel, everyone immediately turned their heads and looked around, the result was that the more they looked, the more they looked at it, the more they were frightened, all the knife wounds could be determined to be from the hands of one person, everyone was amazed in their hearts, and some people were even stimulated to keep whispering repeatedly: "What a fast knife!"
"What a quick knife ......"
A knight found the caravan steward who was still lying on the ground and did not dare to get up, and as soon as he wanted to get up, he heard a voice in his ear: "Just answer in this way, and no one will die after lying on your stomach all night." ”
Charge......
......
The details were quickly passed back, and although the caravan people were allowed to continue to lie on their stomachs, they could not just be left alone, so two small groups of knights were sent out to guard the vicinity. I only hope that this group of Northland barbarians can raise their hands and let them go tomorrow, according to rumors, the Northlanders don't remember overnight hatred.
The matter is very easy to handle, which territory does not have tolls? The Northland can collect it if it wants, and this one is not bad.
After a good night's sleep, Bran routinely completed his daily training before he arrived at the level with a group of men and women from the Northlands. At this time, he completely forgot about the group of caravan personnel who were still lying on the ground, in fact, with the character of the people of the Northland, after the fight, they should go back to their respective homes, as for whether the opponent wanted to stand or fall, it was their own business, and it was not their turn to worry about it.
If this frightened caravan knew the real situation, I don't know how it would feel.
An official of the mission waited quietly in front of the checkpoint, to be precise, at the table, with a warm face under the attitude of neither humility nor arrogance.
After watching the child Bran sit down, he spoke unhurriedly: "It is the right of every territorial nobleman to collect customs duties, and someone wanted to forcibly break through yesterday, which was a provocation to all territorial nobles. ”
Bran looked up at this man and smiled, and the smile continued to expand on his face, and he said in his heart: "Are there nobles in the Northland? ”
The official still looked serious in the face of Bran's obvious and contemptuous smile, and took a step forward, looked down at Bran and said, "However, the provoking person has been killed on the spot by the adults, and the others are serious businessmen and should not be implicated. Therefore, I hope that the adults will let them go after collecting the tolls. ”
The smile on Bran's face slowly faded and he reached out to Dani. The face of the official in front of him changed dramatically in an instant, and it was mentioned in all the detailed reports yesterday that it was this child who took the hand of his attendant as if he was afraid, and then this female warrior killed all those who dared to stand in front of him with a posture of ignoring everything.
"Of course," said the official hurriedly, "as the caravan guards who provoked the trouble, their merchants will also be severely punished, and their property will be confiscated to you." ”
However, his face turned pale, and he still watched with some despair as the little hand touched the palm of his squire, and then the tall Northland female warrior bent down and picked up the child, turned and walked away......
In a trance, he heard the voice of the female warrior like fairy music: "Do as you say, by the way, collect the caravan's taxes and send them to the gate of the villa." ”
"I must do it, I must do it......" At this time, he finally felt the coldness of sweat on his back.
A northland warrior on the side stuffed a drawing into his hand, explained briefly, and asked the caravan to enter the designated area according to the arrangement. Then he pointed to it impatiently and said, "There is an explanation, but if you don't understand it, look at it yourself." By the way, do you know how to read?"
Seeing that the official nodded one after another, he grinned happily with a good expression of the two brothers, patted this man on the shoulder, and didn't care about this person's body that was gradually getting shorter and lower along his lower pat, turned around and ran after the team.
......
It's a talent, Bran looked at the bastard boy who caught up with the team.
"You!" Bran pointed to him, motioning for him to come over, and asked, "Name?"
"Gazi"
"Good name......" Bran complimented, giving a thumbs up.
"That's it!"
"These days, the patrols of the business district are handed over to you. Keep an eye on it, there are disobedient ......"
"Chopped. ”
