In the barracks mansion, David and the few remaining soldiers of his command waited uneasily. 77dus

As soon as Art entered the door, David quickly stood up from the chair, walked up to Art and bowed gently, "Sir Art, I am here to express my heartfelt thanks to you, if it weren't for your help, I and these guys around me would have died on the battlefield." ”

"Now that I'm basically healed, my guys and I need to think about our future plans, and I'm here to hear your advice."

Art looked at this knight brother who had been burned to a hideous face, and there was an indescribable sense of sadness in his heart.

As the captain of a flag with the most serious damage in the battle, David did not get the fair treatment he deserved, and when the legion distributed the spoils, David did not participate, so this poor knight and his flag team only got a total of less than 30,000 pfennigh and a few sets of worn weapons and armor, and because most of the soldiers under his command were mercenaries sent by the legion, the commander of the third company took away 20,000 pfennigh in his hand, and his flag team was almost completely wiped out after a battle, and the soldiers around him were only five people, Disheartened, David decided to withdraw from the war and returned to the Count of Burgundy with his few remaining brothers.

Art walked into the room, picked up a wine glass from the wooden table, poured wine and handed it to David himself, and comforted him in a voice: "Sir David, I have also heard what happened to you, I have tried to fight for a fair treatment for you, but people are soft-spoken and now your strength is almost all gone, so it is impossible for the legion to compensate you for the spoils of war, but your military merits have been reported to the court of Besançon, I believe that with your merits and the conditions agreed by Viscount Geoffrey, it should not be too much of a problem to obtain a knight's fief from the court."

David took the wine glass and didn't drink it, he stood in front of Art with the wine glass and refused to sit down, "Sir Art, I already know that you are fighting for my interests in the military council, but the reality is so cruel, I am a civilian knight without the slightest support, and now my men are basically dead, and it is already a gift from the legion elder to get some loot, and I will not fight." ”

"Sir David, it's best if you think so, the reality is so, and it won't help to complain too much." Art tapped David on the shoulder and motioned for him to sit down and speak.

Seeing that David still refused to sit down and looked embarrassed, Art asked, "Sir David, are you embarrassed?"

David put down the wine glass, hesitated for a moment with an embarrassed face, and said: "Lord Art, as I said, it is difficult for a knight like me with no background to gain a foothold. Although I have lost almost all my soldiers in the battle of Thollburg, I have not made much actual military achievements, and even if Viscount Geoffrey is willing to fight for the court on my behalf, the final result is difficult to predict. ”

Art nodded and didn't say anything, he knew that David must have something to do.

Sure enough, David continued: "Sir Art, you have a support in the court, and you are also highly respected by the court, I~I think~ I want to take the few remaining men into your command and be an ordinary soldier." David's voice was unusually weak.

After hearing this, Art was first shocked and then delighted, and then after thinking about it carefully, he calmed down, because he had already guessed that the real purpose of David's trip should not be to ask to be subordinated.

He poured himself a glass of wine, found a chair and took a sip, looking at Sir David with an unnatural look and several wounded soldiers behind him.

"Please sit down and talk." Art asked David to sit down and speak again.

David sat down stiffly next to the edge of his chair.

Art stared into David's eyes and said, "Sir David, I will personally write a private letter to the Earl of Balwin, in which I will recommend you to the Earl, and I will also tell him your desire to obtain a fief of the fief, and beg the Earl to maneuver around the court for you."

The uneasiness and hesitation in David's eyes disappeared in an instant, "Sir Art, this~, I don't know how to thank you." ”

"Sir David, it is not easy for people like you and me to gain a foothold in this troubled world, and it is appropriate to help and support each other, not to mention that you and I are both knights who have been canonized by the court, and we are brothers." Art also said very sincerely, among the knights canonized after the end of the Eastern War, Art had the closest relationship with this Sir David, and this person did have real skills.

It is absolutely harmless to make more friends like this.

"If you still need my help after returning to the north, you can send me a message, and I will do my best to help." Yate did not mention anything about "taking refuge" at all, so as not to embarrass everyone.

However, David's face was not completely cheerful, and there was obviously something to be embarrassed about.

After confirming that Art was indeed sincere in helping himself, David simply let go of the burden in his heart and said with a puff: "Sir Art, your generosity has touched my heart, but I still have a reluctant request~"

"You say." Art replied briskly.

David glanced at several of his soldiers behind him, turned his head and said to Art, "Now I'm not afraid of your jokes, I also want to borrow a sum of money from you."

David had more than 20 soldiers with him when he went south from the Earl of Burgundy, these were diehards who had survived with him from the eastern border of the Earl of Burgundy, most of them were friends and relatives from his hometown, and only five or six of the twenty young men who were wounded were left in the south.

David is a responsible man, he promised to take his men south to make achievements, and now most of them have been cut off from foreign lands, David is deeply remorseful and at the same time determined to send back a generous pension to those brothers who died in the war to comfort the heroic souls.

Moreover, after two unfair encounters, David also knew that he had to find a solid support for himself, and Art had promised to recommend him to the court magnates, but the mansion of the magnates needed to knock on the door with a large number of gold cakes and silver coins.

"Sir Art, my loot this time is too small, except for the cost of returning to the north, it is only enough for me to pay the pension of my brother who died in battle, so I ......"

"Yes!" Art interrupted David.

"Sir Art, you just said~" David thought he had misheard.

Art looked at David sincerely, "I said I promised to lend you money. Tell you how much you need? ”

David's hideous face that was destroyed by fire oil finally showed a trace of relief and joy, and his distorted facial features also relaxed a lot, "Sir Art, I want to borrow 10,000 pfennies from you, don't worry, I will definitely try to personally deliver this money to your knight's fief within half a year." ”

When David had finished speaking, Art did not reply, but bowed his head and pondered.

David's newly stretched features began to tense again, "Sir Art, if 10,000 pfennigs is too much, 7,000 pfennigs will do." David was worried that he had borrowed too much, and Art repented.

Art raised his head and stared at David, "Sir David, I'll lend you twenty thousand pfennigs." I suppose you have to continue to recruit warriors to restore your strength after paying the pensions of your brothers who died in battle, otherwise what will you do to convince Earl Balwyn to fight for your fiefdom? And you can't go to the Earl empty-handed. The Earl is fond of silk, porcelain, and jewels that come from the East, and you should be sure to take a portion of this money to prepare these gifts. ”

"As for the restitution, it won't take half a year, if I can be invited to your knight's fief next spring."

David was completely moved by Art, and tears rolled in his eyes......
