Section 23: Windfall

When Arold raised his head, he saw that the nobleman who was with General Ralph was actually Sir Abel whom he had saved that day, and saw that the knight seemed to realize that Arold's gaze winked at him, indicating that he had found Arold and recognized him, but how could this knight be with General Ralph, and the aristocratic dress he was wearing was embroidered with the coat of arms of Duke Mason's family.

"What's going on here? I don't know that the Duke of Lu Dao has already issued an order to prohibit private fighting? Sir Elb rode on a white steed and said majestically to the three boar brothers in front of him, and the sergeants around him immediately pointed their spears at them.

"I'm sorry sir, but we just came to take Baron Dufone on the orders of Count Lautz." Grover said respectfully to Sir Abel on his horse.

"What a shameless act, that they should want to exchange the baron for twelve silver coins, which is less than the price Judas paid for betraying Jesus." Arold stepped forward, and since it was Sir Abel whom he knew standing in front of him, he could see that Sir Lautz was disgusted with Count Lautz, so he boldly refuted the other party's nonsense.

"Woo." To Arrod's surprise, Baron Defoni also whimpered with dissatisfaction, if it weren't for the fear of Arrod's old fist, he would have lodged the most serious protest, his relatives of the Duke of Saxony, the nobleman with the title of baron, was actually worth only twelve silver coins, and these hillbillies thought they were someone.

"Is this true?" Sir Able looked at Grover condescendingly, and said in a calm tone, but in fact, looking at this guy who looked like a pig's head, Sir couldn't contain the disgust and disgust in his heart, what kind of villains did Count Lausitz take in.

"It's like this~~~~." Grover was a little aggrieved and wanted to justify, this was the money given by Count Lauzitz, he didn't know in advance that if he took the baron quietly like this, then no one would say anything about it, but it was really unreasonable to be grabbed like this.

"Enough, you must have embezzled my uncle's money, what a hateful guy, get out of here now and don't smear my uncle's face again." Sir Able hated his greedy and miserly uncle, but as a member of the family, he had to assert his authority, so he had to let the three Earls of Lauzitz carry the blame.

"Do you hear that? Leave immediately. General Ralph lifted the reins of his horse and stepped forward to say threateningly to the three boar brothers, and the sergeants he led immediately took on an attacking stance, and suddenly the sound of the pampa from the clash of shields and spears rang out.

"Yes, sir." Grover had to leave with his brothers, and he did not yet have the courage and strength to confront the Duke of Mason's first heir, and his master, the Earl of Lauszitz, had to show respect in front of the handsome Able.

The three wild boar brothers led the knights of the inner palace of Count Lauzitz to leave, Arold and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, these three freaks are really chilling, the strange power of Patzi, the weird swordsmanship of Ogden, and the Grover who did not make a move, the men of the Wendell family decided to meet these three guys again in the future.

"Sir Wendell, please forgive me for taking the liberty of bothering me." Sir Able dismounted from his horse, and one of his valet hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, catching his feet with both hands so that Sir would not step into the air.

"Where, it is our pleasure to have your arrival, please come to our humble tent." Sir Wendell knew by this time that the man in front of him was the eldest son of the noble Duke of Mason, and if nothing else, the future Duke of Mason, so his attitude was respectful and in accordance with knightly etiquette.

"Ha Luha, of course." Sir Able strode into Sir Wendell's tent boldly, Sir Wendell's tent was indeed very simple, the family's finances did not allow him to use too luxurious tents, and the color of the curtain was very plain and inconspicuous, not as bright and bright as the other noble tents next to him, but Sir Able didn't care that this made Arold and the others feel good about this distinguished guest.

"Your Excellency, please accept our thanks." Sir Wendell first thanked Sir Abel for his help, and in his opinion it was a blessing of God that a small nobleman like himself from the countryside could be helped by the Duke heir.

"Where, I have come this time for the sake of Baron Defoni, and I hope you can hand over the Baron to me." Sir Able had come with the same purpose as the Earl of Lautz, but it was a pure accident that he was able to meet Arrod, who had saved him last time, so he opened the skylight and spoke openly and honestly.

"Well, of course, my lord, you helped us, and unconditionally giving up the baron is the only way for us to repay you, but to be honest, you also see that my territory is not rich, so I also expect to be able to exchange the baron for some ransom to pay the debt, but if it's you~~." Sir Wendell explained to Able with some embarrassment, but after saying that, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "If you pay me a hundred silver coins, I will give the Baron to the honorable lord." ”

"Father." Arold and Yves spoke at the same time, a hundred silver coins was only the price of a low-ranking squire knight, if Able had agreed to them, wouldn't it be in vain to catch the baron?

"Oh?" Sir Able was also a little surprised, he didn't expect Sir Wendell to give up the baron at such a low price, he looked at the expressions of Arold and the others, and then looked at the humble tent, thinking that it seemed that this knight's life was indeed not easy.

"Hey." Sir Wendell stood there awkwardly, he understood the hard work of his sons, but it was the minimum standard of a knight to repay those who rescued him.

"Harooha, Sir Wendell, I can't accept your price." Sir Abel laughed and waved his arms, the golden cross around his neck glittering in the light of the torches, and his face seemed to be like a moon in the firelight.

"But, that's the lowest price I can offer." Sir Wendell's brow furrowed, and a slightly disgruntled look appeared on his face.

"Well, I'll exchange it for fifteen hundred silver coins, and the Herman family still pays for it." Herman. Feng. Sir Able said with the pride of a great nobleman, as one of the seven electors of the Holy Roman Empire, the Herman family owned a large amount of land and cities, which brought endless wealth and power to the Herman family, and they were qualified to speak with this pride.

"One, fifteen hundred silver coins?" Sir Wendell felt his head buzz, and he looked at the young and venerable Sir Able in disbelief.

"Yes, father, Sir Abel is going to give us fifteen hundred silver coins." Arrud also said with some excitement, they borrowed 300 silver coins for the expedition this time, and the most they spent after removing other expenses was 500 silver coins, but Sir Able made a move of 1,500 silver coins, which is really the behavior of a local tyrant.

"Fifteen hundred silver coins." Yves was also like a dream, muttering to himself, with a shocked look on his face, he had thought that it would be nice to be able to exchange five hundred silver coins for Baron Defone, but he did not expect Sir Able to be so generous, and this kind of money-wasting behavior was stunned.

"Yes, a thousand silver coins is the ransom of Baron Dufoney, and of course five hundred silver coins are the bounty of your son to save me, and the people of the Herman family are grateful to repay it." Sir Able smiled at Sir Wendell.

"My son?" Sir Wendell looked at Sir Abel suspiciously, he didn't know about Arold saving Sir Ebel.

"It's my honor, my lord." Arold hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Sir Able.

"Well, then this matter is satisfactorily resolved, then I still have something to do, and I will have my attendants send the silver coins later." Sir Able clapped his hands and said happily to the Wendell family.

"Oh? Didn't that little squire of yours come today? Arold asked Sir Able curiously, and the little squire who was crying when Sir Able was in shock impressed him, so he asked casually.

"Oh, oh, you said he, hehe, no, no." Sir Able was stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and with a strange smile on his face, he replied to Arold with a smile.

When the two squires of Sir Able carried the chest containing the silver coins and opened it, the men of the Wendell family were stunned, they had never had so many silver coins in their lives, the unique luster of silver exuded a light that could seduce all desires, almost stinging their eyes, the crisp sound of the silver coins was so beautiful and pleasant, Sir Wendell's eyes were moist How many problems these money solved, this may be his greatest wealth in this battle.

"We have to plan the money well." Sir Wendell finally closed the box, and he looked at his two sons and said.

"That's right, we should buy our men some good weapons, as well as armor, or we will be the poorest cavalry on the battlefield." Yves shouted excitedly, and the wave of air in his mouth almost topped the roof of the tent.

"No, I suggest we buy more goods so that we can sell them in other towns and villages, so that we will never run out of money." Arrod narrowed his eyes, rubbed his hands and said excitedly.

"We are warriors and not merchants, who will calculate the price of those goods, you?" Eves said dissatisfiedly to Arrod.

"It's the most unwise thing to spend all this money all at once, we can go to the market and inquire about the price of the goods, and I can really do business." Arold proudly said to Yve, he was not wrong, he really practiced stall during the summer vacation of college, although he just bought some small things such as lighters, but he had more business experience than Yve, a simple-minded and well-developed limb guy.
