First of all, the most pilgrimage is of course the nobles and commoners in Mecklenburg, because the news of the apparition of the Virgin has not yet spread, so the most knowledgeable people are still the people of Mecklenburg, but the strange thing is that the most worshippers during the day are women and children, and at night many men will come secretly, the reliquary is placed in a prayer room in the castle, which was originally only a prayer room used by the castle lord himself and his family, and now it is also opened by Arold, and people wait patiently in a long line, One by one, they came to the reliquary, which was placed in front of the altar, made of the most precious ebony, and the craftsmen of the whole territory were gathered to carve angels, holy spirits, crosses and crucifixes on the ebony by hand, which can be said to be the embodiment of all the craftsmanship of Mecklenburgshire.

"With a clang, your sins will be forgiven by Our Lady." Next to the reliquary, Webster wore a flat red hat with a white feather stuck in it, and when everyone knelt in front of the reliquary, he would loudly announce to them that pilgrims would throw a few silver coins into a wooden chest, of course, the wooden box was closed except for a small opening at the entrance.

"Dang Chang~~~." A noble woman in a long green dress knelt excitedly in front of the reliquary, she raised her head at this time the sunlight was pouring into the reliquary from the window above, the peculiar luster of ebony and the hand-carved angels and holy spirits on it, everything seemed so holy that she was much less troubled by her husband's affair with the maid behind her back, and she prayed with her hands together. At the end of the day, he put his money bag in the donation box.

"Thank you, noble lady, that your donation will be used to build a magnificent church for the rest of the sacred relics." Webster's eyes lit up, he kindly stretched out his hand to help the lady up, his artistic atmosphere and politeness made the lady feel good, and couldn't help but look at Webster with a smile, and inadvertently lost his handkerchief in his hand.

At this time, the Roman Church was not strict in the management of holy relics, and there was no special relict review committee, so if it was to be audited, it might not be so easy. Look at the crowds lining up from the castle all the way to the gatehouse. One can imagine the enthusiasm of the people for religion.

"Lord Earl, in just two days we have received five hundred silver deposits, and our debts will soon be paid off." Brother Elvet stood with Arrod in the cloister window of the tower. Look at the people who are religiously fervoured. Talking to each other.

"Yes. It seems that a magnificent church must be built so that our territory will prosper. A satisfied smile also appeared on Arrod's face, and he had an even grander plan in his heart at this time. But now it's going to be a little bit more.

"Lord Earl, the armor sent by Master Orn and Master Newman has arrived." At this time, the personal attendant came to Arrod's side and reported to him.

"Has it arrived? Brother Elvet went with me to see. Arold was very pleased to hear the squire's report, and he spoke to Brother Elvet with great interest.

"It is my pleasure, Lord Earl." Brother Elvet hurriedly bowed, and followed behind Arrod, and they came to the lord's hall, where several apprentice craftsmen were placing a shelf of armor in the center of the hall, with a red flannel cloth on it, so that they could not see what was on the shelf.

"Lord Earl, I've heard that new armor has been delivered, please allow us to take a look." Ron and several knights from the Inner House also came to the hall of the lord, they were wearing chain mail, and the outer blouse was the family coat of arms of Arrod, these knights had seen Arold's arm armor, and felt that it was very powerful and beautiful, and they admired the Earl's armor taste very much, and at this time they heard that a new armor was being sent, and they all wanted to see it and open their eyes.

"Absolutely." Arold smiled at his knights.

"Lord Earl, please see that this is the work of Master Orn and their painstaking efforts, and allow us to lift the veil." The apprentices of the craftsman saw that Venerable Arrod had moved forward, and hurriedly bowed to him and said.

"Yes, uncover the quilt." Arod had already aroused his curiosity, and he wanted to see the masterpieces of the two master armor and weapon makers, so he waved to the apprentices.

"Brush~~." When the apprentices uncovered the flannel cloth, everyone's eyes were shaken by the shining light, only to see that a complete set of plate armor was placed on the armor shelf, the helmet was a polished smooth and bright full-cover helmet, the plate armor on the body was made of a whole piece of cold forging cuirass, the front chest and back were connected with leather straps, and the arms and body of the cuirass were protected by two small circles of twenty folds of iron, and the part of the body connection was the most vulnerable place, so it was necessary to increase the patches for extra protection. As for the most important arm, it is a lobster armor assembled with sheet armor, including the legs, and as for the waist, it is a battle skirt composed of five large pieces of armor, which makes Arold even more satisfied with the fact that in addition to the protective considerations, the armor is decorated with violet flowers and vine reliefs on the edge of the breastplate, and the inside and edge of the armor are also printed with a flower pattern where the inside and edge of the armor are wrapped in leather, which can be described as a high-quality armor with both protection and ornamentation.

"It's a work of art." Everyone who saw this polished smooth and bright armor sighed at this high-quality armor, and this armor cost a lot of money, and only an earl like Arrod could be worthy of such beautiful armor.

"Lord Earl, this is the most beautiful armor I have ever seen." Brother Elvet also agreed that if the average nobleman could have a finely woven chain mail, it would be enough to pass it down as a family heirloom for generations, and Arold's full-body plate armor was simply a national treasure-level item.

"I will give this armor to my brother Sir Eve, as his wedding gift." Arold stepped forward and touched the armor, this armor was under the guidance of the two masters of Orne and Newman, using streamlined operations, a total of more than fifty skilled craftsmen, it took more than four months to complete, and the cost was as high as 5,000 silver dollars, which can be described as an extremely expensive luxury.

"For Ive-sama? That's a lot of money. Ron and the others were dumbfounded, and sighed in admiration.

"Ha Luha, how can you show the authority of Lord Count otherwise?" Brother Elvet said to Ron with a smile.

"Well, have you arranged all the personnel to go to Mason?" Although Arold also likes this full-body plate armor very much, but this is actually a test item, and it is far from reaching the level of real full-body armor in his mind, so it is appropriate to give it to Yves as a gift.

"Don't worry, Lord Earl has already arranged it." Brother Elvet replied that as an earl with a fiefdom, Arrod certainly had no shortage of retinues and servants, maids, male servants, horse boys, valets, knights of the inner palace, and confidants of the courtiers.

"Okay, we'll leave for the Duchy of Mason the day after tomorrow." Arold handed over the affairs of Mecklenburg to Brother Elvet and Harvey, and as for the army he left in Rostock, after conquering the castle, he will also return to the territory to rest, the armor will be sent back to his country home, the pikemen composed of slaves will be withdrawn to the castle of the angry lion, the Swiss mercenaries will stay at the castle of Mecklenburg, the javelinmen are retraining and replenishing, and the army of the vassal Visma Mayor Mato will also return to the town.

In the early morning of the third day, Arold put on aristocratic civilian clothes under the service of his personal attendants, walked out of his castle tower, and boarded his own carriage, and there were more than forty teams parked in the open space in front of the tower, the maid Melinda and the captain of the Blood Drops, Martin, three personal attendants, Ron and other twelve knights of the Inner House as guards, but the most unexpected thing was that Arold also took Shirley with him.

"What are you doing with the priestess?" When Harvey said goodbye to Arrod, he glared at him viciously, as if to say that you dare to steal food, be careful that the old lady will not spare you.

"Misunderstood, I just think that in the court of Duke Mason, there is a man of his own who is good at using poison, and it may come in handy, after all, Count Lausitz sees me as a thorn in the flesh." Arold hurriedly explained with a sneer, and the other courtiers suddenly became interested in the weather and other matters.

"Whether she's her own person or not, I haven't figured it out yet, it's too reckless for you to do this." Harvey's thin brow furrowed, and she glanced at Shirley, who was well-behaved on the horse, full of distrust.

"I talked to her, and it was the Slavic nobles who asked her to give them poison." Arjod remembered the way he had seen the beautiful priestess in Shirley's room, tormented by self-blame, and he confessed that he could not see the pain of a beautiful woman, so he thought of taking Shirley away from Mecklenburg Castle, which had saddened her, and going to the Duchy of Mason to relax.

"Suicide? Well, there is some truth to this, and decent suicide is an explanation rather than rotting in a dungeon. Harvey listened thoughtfully, but he still had doubts about Shirley's unauthorized poisoning.

"Okay, while I'm away, if something important happens in Mecklenburg, you can pass it on to me through the system of the Brotherhood of Blood Drops, especially the information about Jeff on the Chamber of Commerce's side must not be relaxed, I suspect that he is manipulating the local market." Arold called Harvey aside and instructed her.

"If you don't trust him already, simply." Harvey listened to Arold's words, stretched out his thumb, and swiped his neck, which could not be more obvious, at this time, Arold could not have been more easy to kill a businessman.

"Keep an eye on him for now, there are some things I still need him." Arrod shook his head, Jeff is a double-edged sword, and if used well, he can rest easy in the Duchy of Mason, and if he doesn't use it well, he may hurt himself.

"Lord Count, are you ready to go?" Dressed in chain mail, with a helmet with a nose guard on his head, a sword at his waist, and a pointed vulture shield on the side of his warhorse at his crotch, Ron reported to Arrode.

"Let's go." Arold glanced at Harvey, turned to Ron and ordered. (To be continued......)
