Chapter 3: The Knights of the Stables

Hatred may be forgotten, but it will never be extinguished.

It can be seen that at this time, Dawar is trying his best to control his emotions, but the fierce emotional fluctuations in his heart can't escape Liu Huaqiang's eyes.

Davar's chest rose and fell rapidly, and the scenes of getting along with his father kept flashing in his mind.

Two lines of tears flowed down Davar's dirty cheeks, and anger almost erupted from his eyes.

"Speak up, speak your heart. Davar, my brother, what you have in your heart is exactly what I want to do. ”

Liu Huaqiang's voice sounded in Daval's ears again, giving him the ultimate courage and confidence.

"I want to kill the damned Ottomans and make them pay a terrible price for their sins!"

In a hoarse voice, Davar uttered the words that had been suppressed in his heart.

Of course, at this time, Davar still maintained the last of his sanity, and even if he vented his inner emotions, he deliberately lowered his voice.

You must know that there are more than 300 Ottoman soldiers living inside and outside the manor, and if he shouts, he will definitely bring disaster to himself.

Even if the Ottomans couldn't understand what he was saying because of the language barrier, they would break Davar's neck like a helpless rabbit by disturbing their rest.

Seeing that Davar could maintain this calm, Liu Huaqiang was happy in his heart, the young man in front of him was fully capable of the task that was about to be given to him.

Liu Huaqiang stretched out his right hand, grabbed the back of Davar's head, and pressed his forehead with his own.

"My brother, I think the same as you, I want to kill all the Ottomans in our land.

However, I am too weak now, and I need your help in order to reach my goal. ”

"My lord, if there is anything I need to do, you can tell me.

Even now, if you ask me to assassinate the Ottoman envoy, I will not hesitate to rush over with a scythe! ”

Daval's emotions have been completely mobilized by Liu Huaqiang, even if he is allowed to die at this time, he will not hesitate.

The subordinates who were finally recruited by Liu Huaqiang would not let him die in vain.

Liu Huaqiang's deep eyes looked at Davar's eyes and said: "Reckless, it can't be a big thing, there is no worthless sacrifice, I will never allow it."

My brother, what I asked you to do is far more meaningful than the assassination of an Ottoman. ”

"My lord, I'm just a little groom, and I don't know what else I can give you other than this life."

"After tonight, Davar, you will no longer be a little groom, but a glorious knight.

I, Vlad III, master of Wallachia, am here to canonize my friend, the brave Davar, to become a glorious knight. ”

Ideals are important, but many times you can't eat them, and giving some benefits appropriately can make your followers die.

At this moment, Davar couldn't believe his ears.

A knight may be nothing in the eyes of the nobles, but for him, it is definitely an existence that needs to be looked up to for a lifetime.

Still in Davar's stunned kung fu, Liu Huaqiang glanced around the stable, and finally saw a long-handled brush next to the trough.

Liu Huaqiang walked over, bent down to pick up the long-handled brush, and then continued to say to Davar:

"I'm sorry, I don't have a long sword to canonize for you now, I can only find something to deal with casually, you won't mind, right?"

"Of course I don't mind, but my lord, I haven't received any training and assessment, so I'm afraid I don't have the qualifications to become a knight."

The expression on Davar's face was conflicted, he longed to be a knight, but he felt that it was not in order, so he was a little entangled.

"It's not a problem, it's up to me to decide who is knighted.

Besides, to become a knight, you need a strong will, and the courage to defend your homeland, which I think you already have.

Don't waste time, I've been out for too long, the Ottomans will be suspicious, now get down on one knee and accept my canonization. ”

With these words, Davar's heart was dispelled, and he knelt on one knee again, his whole body trembling with excitement.

"I, Davar of Snowburnia, swear to God that henceforth I will be loyal to the great Duke of Tepes.

No matter what the situation, even if I know that the future is death, I will not hesitate to take a step to defend the dignity and interests of the Duke of Tepes. ”

Dawar took his vows based on a story he had heard from the troubadour.

He then unbuttoned his shirt and exposed his back.

Liu Huaqiang did not hesitate, and used the long-handled brush in his hand to tap three times on Davar's bare back.

"Praise God."

"Praise be to the angel Michelle."

"Praise to the Georg winner."

At the same time, Liu Huaqiang also said the meaning of each tap.

Then, before he could react, Davar fell to his knees and kissed his boots violently.

Listening to the smack, Liu Huaqiang almost couldn't control himself, and wanted to kick Davar away.

Damn the bad habit, both in the East and in the West, after canonizing the knight, the knight should kiss the lord's feet.

When they first met, Davar didn't do it because he felt that his status was too lowly to kiss the Duke's feet.

Ancient people, thinking is so strange, strict hierarchy and identity concepts, firmly bound their thoughts.

After kissing Liu Huaqiang's feet, Davar took the long-handled brush, stood up from the ground as a knight, and straightened his waist.

From now on, he is the Venerable Knight of Davar, and those who know this story often refer to him as the Knight of the Stables.

After the canonization was completed, Liu Huaqiang officially assigned the task, and he said with a straight face: "Davar, I need you to use the fastest speed to gather a trustworthy secret force." ”

"What? Let me summon the secret forces? My lord, what do I need to do to complete the task? ”

Davar, who was full of excitement, suddenly collapsed, he would brush the horses, he would add food to the horses, and even learned some veterinary knowledge.

But these things are completely incompatible with summoning secret troops, he is just a sixteen-year-old horseman.

Looking at Davar's embarrassed expression, Liu Huaqiang had already expected this, and he was really helpless to do so.

The Ottomans kept a very tight watch over him, and it was difficult for him to get in touch with outsiders, so now, he had to rely on Davar to accomplish this almost impossible task.

Fortunately, Liu Huaqiang already had a big policy in his heart, he gave Davar a trusting look, and then told Davar the main points of the plan.

"First, look for war orphans like you, and make sure they can be trusted, reveal your knightly identity and organize them.

Second, look for former veterans, and people who are dissatisfied with the Ottoman Empire. Remember, don't go to people who are just like the resentful woman, who only talk about it.

Thirdly, prepare weapons, longbows, swords, short knives and even wooden spears, what is the use, arm everyone.

Finally, tell these fearless people that their efforts will win hope for Wallachia's future, and that they are national heroes. ”

Regarding the armed insurrection, Liu Huaqiang only has theoretical knowledge, and he gave Dawar a few simple suggestions in light of the current environment.

Then, Liu Huaqiang turned through the pockets of his clothes and finally found two Ducats, five silver Ottoman Ik, eight silver Gross, and twenty-three deniers.

This money is already all Liu Huaqiang's belongings, and the original owner of the body, Cai Peishi, is just a hostage, don't expect him to carry much money.

Together, the sum of these coins is about seven hundred deniers, and a pound of rye bread is worth two deniers.

The money Liu Huaqiang gave to Dawar was only equivalent to three hundred and fifty catties of grain.

Note: The Ducat, a gold coin issued in Venice, was used worldwide as a knife in later generations in this era.

The Ottoman Ike silver coin was a currency issued by the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

Silver Gross coin, issued in Venice.

In this conversion, one Ducat's gold coin is equivalent to 20 silver großes, 36 silver Ike coins, and 240 deniers.

At that time, one pound and 233.28 grams of silver.

One Ducat, 3.56 grams.

One pound sterling = 4 ducats.

In addition, the monetary system of Europe in this era was very complex, with all kinds of gold and silver coins appearing one after another.

Therefore, the various currencies that appear later will be converted into the base currency denier to more accurately represent the monetary value.
