Since Rudolph had been harassing himself in his ears with envy and jealousy, Carolan had to give up this stupid move after just thinking about it for a while, after all, his ability was still too weak to participate in these things, of course, Carolan could participate in this Otto parade as a younger brother, but obviously this was not what Caroline wanted. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info But fortunately, this incident allowed me to get a good property, and it was not for nothing that I was chased and killed, and I also got more than 100 slaves from Cousin Werner last night. Shaking his head, he saw that the servant sent by Prince Otto to hand him a large stack of title deeds looked at him respectfully; Caroline nodded, and asked Lisa to accept the contracts, and then gave some rewards to the attendant who had been waiting until she was in a daze.

Seeing that little Lisa glared and gritted her teeth and took out a silver coin from her body and reluctantly handed it to the little royal attendant, Caroline couldn't help but smile and shook her head, and then turned around and prepared to walk into the manor with Rudolph to celebrate, after all, this is her first estate, no matter in which world, the first pot of gold is worth remembering.

The short royal attendant looked at the silver coin handed to him by Lisa with incredible eyes, as if he didn't expect that he would get such a large benefit, after all, he was just a small waiter without any background, you must know that in this era, a silver coin can feed a family of four for half a month. The attendant took a step forward and said excitedly, stimulated by this windfall, "Your generosity is as happy as the winter sun. "After saying this, the squire knew that he was reckless, and it was very rude to comment so loudly on the reward he had given when a great nobleman had already turned away; So the squire stood anxiously waiting for Caroline's reaction, and complained in his heart about his talking, because if the windfall was gone, he might be punished. But Carolan didn't seem to hear anything, and went straight into the Klose manor; Instead, the maid who had given her the silver coin just now glared at herself fiercely and muttered, "What a rude guy." But nothing else was done, and then everyone went into the manor, leaving him alone in the doorway.

It took a long time for the royal attendant, who had been bowing his head and waiting for punishment, to slowly straighten up, and then wiped the cold sweat from his forehead; "Huh~ I have long heard that the young master Carolan of the Klose family is kind-hearted, fortunately, it is really blessed by God." The squire muttered to himself, and slowly left the door of Klose's house. As an acolyte, he has a lot to do today

"Lord Carolan, why don't you teach that rude fellow a good lesson, he's not rude; At the very least, I'm going to get that coin back. ”

Inside the Klose manor, Lisa quickly caught up with Carolan and complained; It seems that he still feels sorry for the silver coin that he took out of his body. Lisa seems to regard the silver coin as a transaction, but since the silver coin has been given, it already represents Caroline's face, and there is no reason to take it back; It's okay if you have to take it back, but at that time Lisa may not want it because of the blood stained on the silver coin.

"It's okay, he's just too excited, and ,,," Caroline interrupted Lisa nonchalantly, remembering the name the squire had said when he introduced himself earlier: Gastin? Billund.

"And what? Sorry I didn't hear me. "Lisa is very curious about what the second young master of her family wants to say and stops." Nothing, what do we eat in the evening. Carolan forcibly diverted her attention with the topic that Lisa was most interested in, and looked at Lisa, who began to struggle with tonight's recipe, Carolan silently added in her heart: "Besides, this investment will definitely pay off, but I don't know if it's a thousand times or ten thousand times or a hundred thousand times?" "Billon, that was one of the most important families in the early days of the future Holy Roman Empire.

???????? It is said that the allowable height is not enough to make a dividing line??????????????????????????????????????????

As night fell, Herman dragged his tired body back to his manor; Since the events of the previous night, Henry had demanded that he must take at least twenty royal cavalry with him to keep him safe, on the grounds that war was imminent, and Herman, as the main commander, must ensure his safety at all times; Otherwise, the assassination of the commander before the conquest is very easy to damage the morale of the army and make the army lose control; Hermann had no reason to object to this, and the defence of the Klose estates reached a peak after the return of Count Hermann; Now, unless the army is directly attacked, no one can harm anyone in the Klose manor. After subduing all the nobles through the Klose family at today's court, Henry the Bird Catcher began to deploy troops without any disguise, and in just one night, everyone knew that war was imminent, but so far except for a few people, everyone still thought that the target of the army was still the Magyars.

Seeing Herman and his cavalry enter the manor, the last few unknown pairs of eyes near the Klose manor disappeared; They were busy telling their master, the Klose family, that it wouldn't be wonderful if they provoked the Klose family now.

Herman returned to the house and sat down, and Lady Canossa ordered the servants to bring supper; Herman has always been a serious father, but he also attaches great importance to family relationships, so the Klose family's dinner is eaten together as long as it is not Herman's expedition; Even Rudolph, who already had his own estate outside the city, had to return here for dinner.

"Oh, Herman, soon our dear little Werner is going to make a feast for his child Kourad; Fortunately, Conrad's status was confirmed among the Salians. They invited us to participate, and you said what kind of gift we need to prepare. Lady Canossa was eating her dinner and asking her husband for advice.

"Sword!" Before Herman could speak, Caroline knew what her father would say, and even mischievously made a sword-word mouth gesture at Lady Canossa; As a strict father, I guess I think that only swords and armor are suitable gifts for men.

Caroline's deliberately exaggerated mouth shape and funny look made Lady Canossa laugh out loud at the sight of it, and she found that her son had become much more lively since the last time he was ill; This made him very satisfied, compared to the shy and kind Carolan before, she felt that the current Carolan was more pleasing to herself.

"No, no, Herman, Conrad is only six years old, and he can't afford to give him a sword. What's more, the sword should only be given to him by you after Conrad performs the sword salute, after all, you are also his swordsman. Lady Canossa, smiling and trembling, clutched her stomach and rejected Herman's offer. A few years ago, Canossa, who was extremely fond of Conrad, forced her husband to become Conrad's swordsmanship teacher, although the teacher hardly taught Conrad. But Canossa thinks that even if he has a name, it would be fine, as for whether he can do swordsmanship? The clever and noble Canosa didn't care.

"Caroline, your funny expression makes you look like a clown in a Greek drama!" Herman didn't care that his wife rejected his offer, but blamed his second son, who had recently seemed to be out of step in his eyes. "Since you love acting so much, then this gift is for you to prepare. Remember! Can't afford to lose the face of the Klose family! With that, Herman ate the rest of the beef in two or three; After looking at his son's stunned face at his last words, he wiped his mouth and got up to leave the restaurant.

As soon as Herman disappeared from the view of everyone in the hall, Rudolph, who had been watching everything in his eyes, immediately burst out laughing. "Hahahahaha, Carolan, your funny expression makes you look like a clown in a Greek drama!" Rudolph repeated what Herman had just said, mimicking Herman's tone, and then laughed breathlessly.

"Rudolph, you and Carolan prepare this present; As an uncle, if he laughed so happily because of the gift and didn't make any effort, Xiaollad would be sad. Canossa said, regardless of Rudolph, who was almost choked to death because of her words, also drifted away.

Suddenly, the hall remembered Caroline's more gloating laughter than Rudolph had just now; and Rudolph's violently chopped cough; and the sound of the servants kicking their stools in a panic and slapping Rudolph in anger; It's very lively.

It was Heinrich's turn to keep vigil tonight, and when he heard the noisy but cheerful voices in the hall, he smiled, picked up the wine bag on his waist, poured a pot of wine, and threw it to Robert, who was also holding an armor-piercing axe in both hands at the door, and said: "A pleasant sound can always infect others, doesn't it? ”

Robert, who also took a sip of wine, said, "Yes, I have not heard of such a pleasant dinner at the earl's house since Mistress Carolan was injured, and thank goodness God has finally blessed the earl. ”

"Hahaha." Heinrich and Robert smiled at each other, and then went on to check their defenses without saying a word.

Rudolph in the dining room finally recovered from his previous fork, and began to worry about Conrad's gift; Looking at Rudolph with a sad face, Carolan silently counted in her heart: "Three, two, one. . . Then Caroline covered her ears as soon as she had finished counting in her mind; Sure enough, at the moment when Carolan covered his ears, Rudolph's crazy roar sounded: "I'm annoyed, if you want me to say that it's not appropriate to send a sword directly, then send a bow, anyway, it's about to fight with the Magyars, let him learn the bow and arrow in advance to prepare." Rudolph forcibly gave himself a reason to send a bow, and Carolan looked helplessly at his brother and said, "First of all, Rudolph, we are not going to war with the Magyars; Secondly, even if you fight the Magyars, you don't need Conrad, a six-year-old guy, to be prepared. ”

"What! Not to fight with the Magyars? Didn't it say that His Majesty Henry had been preparing for war? "As soon as Rudolph spoke of war, he forgot about poor Conrad. If Conrad knew about this, he would be sad...

"Well, the Magyars are not the only enemy... Hey, I won't tell you, I want to eat. Caroline found that the war was going on and on with the fanatical Rudolph, so she simply interrupted and prepared to fill her stomach first.

"You can wait for dinner, you can tell me first who His Majesty Henry is going to use troops against?" Just as Rudolph was scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously and watching Caroline eat the beef slowly, the elusive Herman suddenly walked out of his room and said to Caroland. "That's it, don't eat it, say it quickly!" When Rudolph heard this, he immediately looked excitedly at Carolan who was like eating bitter melon.

"Uh... Well, in fact, from the perspective of the East Francian Kingdom, the Duke of Lorraine in the west seems to be very calm now, as long as he is not stupid, he should know that the West Francian Kingdom that is now in civil strife is not a good one for him to rely on, so he will definitely not give His Majesty Henry the opportunity to march into Lorraine for the third time. The situation in Burgundy in the southwest has always been complicated and exclusive, and His Majesty Henry's current strategy of co-opting King Rudolph of Upper Burgundy has been so successful that there is no need for such a move; And in the south, if His Majesty Henry had not been dizzy, I do not think that he would have marched into Italy without the Duke of Bavaria having yet to submit completely. And the Magyars... Caroline hesitated, and looked at Herman, who had been listening to her words without changing his face, and knew that he would not be so easy to pass if he didn't explode. Damn Rudolph. Caroline secretly complained to Rudolph. Then ruthlessly, Carolan continued to analyze some of the situations she knew in her previous life.

“。。。。 And the Magyars, although the Magyars have always been the great enemies of the civilized world, but in fact, in recent years, after His Majesty Henry ordered the construction of various defensive castles on the Saxon border, the Magyars have not been able to invade the Saxon region again, and even the number of invasions into other areas of Europa has decreased significantly, I heard some merchants from Constantinople in the east say that the Bolgars in the steppe south of the Magyars' territory have risen and have been squeezing the living space of the Magyars; Most of their energy was concentrated in the south, and they were even coerced by the Bolgars to invade the Eastern Roman Empire. In the current situation of the Magyars, His Majesty Henry also has no reason to take the initiative to provoke the Magyars... ”

"What? It doesn't make sense, according to you, now is the perfect time to attack the Magyars, why don't you kill the prey while it falls into the trap, and let it recover and bite back! As soon as Rudolph heard Carolan say that Henry did not intend to attack the Magyars, he immediately interrupted Carolan excitedly.

Carolan looked at Rudolph helplessly, then at Herman, and after noticing Caroland's gaze, Herman nodded lightly and gestured to Carolan but said it was okay. "In fact, the current state of affairs of the Magyars is extremely advantageous to His Majesty Henry." Stopping Rudolph, who wanted to say something again, Carolan said quickly in one breath. "His Majesty Henry has always taken advantage of the presence of the Magyars to levy high war taxes on the nobles, and it is precisely because of the presence of the Magyars that the dukes of the various tribes are forced to submit to His Majesty Henry. It was this high war tax and the presence of Magyars that His Majesty Henry was able to have a standing army at the Memleben Training Office. You must know that when His Majesty Henry was put on the throne, it was because the Magyars put too much pressure on everyone, and you said that with so many benefits, is it necessary for His Majesty Henry to provoke the Magyars in the depths of the steppe? Defeated the Magyars and the Bolgars, defeated the Bolgars and the Turks. Can you beat them all? With that, Caroline grabbed the water glass beside her and drank it in a big gulp.

"So, where is His Majesty Henry going to attack? Jutland to the north? Rudolph was also stunned after listening to Carolan's analysis, and looked at Carolan with a confused expression.

"To the east, east of the Elbe." Carolan was about to put down his glass of water to answer Rudolph when Herman asked him to answer the question. Then Herman looked at Carolan and said, "Good observation, after all, much smarter than your brother." Then Herman listened to him, and the embarrassed Rudolph went on to tell in a flat tone what had happened in the court today; Herman described in great detail some of Henry's decisions today, and finally lightly mentioned his request for a duel with the Marquis of Orton's family. After finishing speaking, Herman glanced at Carolan, who suddenly raised her head and wanted to say something after hearing about the duel, and said: "Telling you these things is to give you a comprehensive understanding of the current situation, and you want to see more." Play to your strengths; What Rudolph is not good at, you have to help him more. Then Herman turned away without giving Carolan a chance to speak, and when he finally left the dining room, he left behind: "I have everything in my own." "It's a response to Carolan's fears about the duel.

"Hahahahaha The Sato Family! Unlike Carolan's concerns, Rudolph fell into an inexplicable frenzy. I knew that my father would not let go of this hypocritical family of illegitimate children! In a month, don't worry, brother! I'll tear that nasty face of the Marquis of Orton with my own hands to avenge you!" With that, Rudolph's eyes flickered as if he remembered something.

"I remember that the Sato family has a territory that is connected to the Iris Manor, hahahahaha My brother Hello luck is here, defeat them, and your manor can be expanded again." Rudolph laughed and patted Carolan on the shoulder, as if the Sato family's land was already in Carolan's pocket.

As if discovering Carolan's worried eyes, Rudolph continued: "Don't worry, little guy~ Regarding the family duel, no one in the East Frankish Kingdom is the opponent of our Klose family!" Our family's guards can crush those sissies with a single charge! ”

"Family Guard?" Carolan raised her voice in surprise, "Didn't my father go to a duel with the Marquis of Orton?" Then Carolan was despised by Rudolph.

"This is a divine judgment! It's not a personal vendetta! Carolan! According to ancient tradition, when the feud between the two families cannot be avoided, then the patriarch of the two families will gather the strongest samurai of the family to fight a duel to the death, and the ancestors and gods will protect the righteous side from leaving the battlefield alive! Rudolph said in a didactic tone, as if he enjoyed speaking to Carolan in the same tone as he taught the juniors.

Caroline breathed a sigh of relief to hear that she hadn't let her father go into battle in person with an unintelligible opponent as she thought; Although Herman is very strong, after all, he is his own father, and Carolan is always worried. After listening to Rudolph's introduction, Carolan remembered the strong warriors in her family, and finally gained some confidence; However, Caroline still decided to do something so that her family could win this duel with the least sacrifice, you must know that the sword has no eyes, not to mention that it will be Carolan's relatives and friends who will go to the duel this time.

Carolan, who was silently thinking about what she could do, made up her mind to take over the Iris Manor early tomorrow morning, and some of her previous plans must be put on the agenda immediately.

"Why did His Majesty Henry wage war against the Slavs east of the Elbe? What's there! And they're all barbarians, it's boring. Rudolph looked at Carolan who was thinking about things and felt a little bored, but he was not worried about the bloody battle in a month, but began to complain about Henry's decision.

"Uh... There's a lot of amber there, and there's a lot of gold,,," Carolan was interrupted by Rudolph's thoughts, and after thinking about it, she replied directly, believing that this was what Rudolph wanted to hear. "Really? Well, then we'll be able to get the amber and gold back with ease. As soon as Rudolph heard that there was amber and gold there, he immediately swept away his disappointment.

"I hope so..." Carolan coped a little absent-mindedly, for he suddenly remembered that in this era, a family should have risen in the Polish steppes; Perhaps East Francia was about to face a united and powerful Polish nation-state, rather than a loose group of barbarians as they took for granted.

"Hey, I'm going to be very busy for the rest of the day." Caroline thought as she suddenly filled with energy.
