In the hustle and bustle of cars and horses, Wu Ming came to the only livestock row in the town. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Isn't this our dear little William?"

An old man wearing a shirt and a straw hat who was holding an iron fork to pick up hay immediately put down his hand and smiled: "What? William: Do you want to buy livestock? My old Kerry's cows are the best, one can hold the work of three people! And the character is docile and very ......"

"Indeed!"

Wu Ming looked at the fences on both sides, and the peculiar fishy smell of fresh livestock came from him, but for William, he was used to it.

"Haha...... Ever since I heard the larks in the morning, I knew something good was going to happen today! ”

Father Kerry laughed: "I'll pick one for you, it's guaranteed to be the best in town!" ”

Usually, he only has a business of ploughing cattle and renting horses and wagons here, but when he heard that Wu Ming was going to buy a large livestock, his eyes immediately lit up.

Even though the real owner of this business is the Baron's Palace, if it is done well, he will also have a certain percentage of the reward.

"Nope! It's not ......"

Wu Ming shook his head: "Old Kerry, I think you made a mistake, I didn't come to buy a ploughing cattle......

"Don't buy ploughing cattle?"

Kerry blinked: "Do you want to use a mule?" ”

"Nope! Nor a mule, I need a horse, a real big horse! ”

Wu Mingjing frowned a little as he came to the only few horses in the corral.

The horses tend to be skinny and don't quite fit his needs, but they have supple coats, snorts, and slow grass, and seem to be well cared for.

"Ploughing the land with horses? That's not a good idea......"

Kerry chattered about recommending a ploughing cow to Wu Ming and promised to give him the best price.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, but in fact, I only need horses, and it is better to be able to carry a knight, and I will not panic when I see blood and swords and guns!"

Wu Ming took out the certificate of a free man and shook it: "I am already a free man, and I am ready to go out for a while!" ”

"Self-...... Freeman?! ”

Old Kerry opened his mouth wide and unconsciously bowed slightly.

For him, who has been a baronial citizen all his life, to be a free citizen means not having debts, and to make outstanding contributions to the realm, which is recognized by the baron...... It's an almost impossible task!

In his heart, he naturally looked at Wu Minggao, although he was not one of those 'masters', but he was also much higher than ordinary tenant farmers.

'O freemen...... There will be no more exploitation by the tax collectors, and there will be no military service and no servitude......

In fact, Old Kerry's understanding is a little wrong, becoming a free citizen means more choices, and he doesn't have to care about the harsh taxes set by the tax collector himself.

This level of identity, in Wu Ming's understanding, is somewhat similar to Da Zhou's Xiucai, who has a certain status and dignity!

If something happens, you can go to the baron and ask him to adjudicate.

There is a choice, there is a right to get up! You can avoid a lot of exploitation by tax officials like Field.

"What? Don't you have any horses here? ”

Wu Ming looked at the few horses in the livestock pen and was not very satisfied.

"Of course...... The real war horse must first be of good breed, with a tall skeleton, preferably a thoroughbred from the grassland, and train their courage so that they are not timid when they see the battle array......"

Kerry shook his head: "The finished war horses, each of them can be sold for a high price of more than ten kindrons, and even if there is, they have long been accepted by the baron......"

Obviously, he asked Wu Ming to extinguish this thought as soon as possible.

"War horses are not good, but ordinary horses, used for carrying goods and riding, are always fine?"

Wu Ming's eyes swept away, he was taller among the short ones, and chose a batch of black horses to come out: "Just it!" ”

"You choose Big Andy? He's the best guy I've ever had......"

There was a hint of reluctance on Kerry's face: "But following you, a promising guy, may be the best destination for it...... A kindron, you can take it, oh my God, don't let me see this......"

He turned around and wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, as if there was still a flash of crystal.

"Less!"

Wu Ming rolled his eyes: "How do I remember the last time Uncle Tully came to buy a farming cow, you said the same thing?" One kindron isn't worth it, unless you add a saddle! ”

"Impossible!"

Kerry hurriedly shook his head: "Don't you know that Old Kerry is still the best leathersmith in town?" To get a saddle, you'll need at least five silver thalers! ”

"The price is too high......"

Wu Ming frowned.

Although he didn't really care about the money, he had to act like he was calculating.

Any slight omission could end up with catastrophic consequences, and he wouldn't make that mistake now.

At this time, he really regarded himself as a small free man, integrated into it, and transcendent.

Old Kerry looked at William, who had accurately picked out the horse's faults, and had a little headache, knowing that he had met the most astute kind of customer.

Half an hour later, Wu Ming walked out of the cattle shop with a smile on his face, holding the reins of Big Andy in his hand, and a full set of fine harness made of cooked cowhide and wrought iron quietly armed Andy's whole body.

The price he paid for this was a kindron and a silver thaler.

"Thank you, Uncle Kerry!"

Wu Ming rode on the black horse and laughed.

"Take care of it! And also...... Stay safe! ”

Maybe it's because he knows that William has made up his mind, and Kerry's father reveals his rare true feelings.

Stompe!

Wu Ming rode a black horse and slowly drove through the streets of the town.

"Look, it's William!"

"I heard that I have been promoted to a free man by Lord Baron, and I have taken a knight of Takur, so I am really developed!"

"Good horse, I will become a knight in the future!"

……

In all kinds of eyes and discussions, Wu Ming came to Aunt Luo Ya's hotel and handed over the tax payment certificate to her personally.

"Oh! William ......"

Aunt Luoya's lips moved, and she couldn't speak for a long time: "I really don't know how to thank you!" ”

"This is what William should do!"

Wu Ming smiled meaningfully, feeling that the deepest part of his body seemed to be an obsessive emotion also dissipated, and he couldn't help but feel relieved: "Also, I came this time to say goodbye by the way!" ”

"Farewell!"

"Yes, I'm going to leave Nia and venture further afield! Please take care and say hello to Sophia on my behalf! ”

He bowed, and then turned away.

"Alas......"

Aunt Luo Ya sighed, as if full of heart, put away the certificate, came to the back kitchen, and immediately saw Sophia hiding behind the door, with a gentle look on her face: "Aren't you going to say goodbye to William?" ”

"I ...... I ......"

Sophia looked stunned, and suddenly burst into tears.

"Silly boy!"

Aunt Loya took Sophia in her arms: "My poor daughter...... You must know that if William was the stupid young man he used to be, his mother would not have objected to you, but now, he has been rewarded by the lord, and I heard that he is also very good at martial arts, and he has obtained the status of a free man, and he is already a two-level person with you......"

"I don't believe it!"

Sophia suddenly looked up: "Will he forget me after he leaves the town?" ”

"The outside world is a big ......"

Aunt Luo Ya sighed faintly.

She knew that the outside world was far more exciting than the small town, and there were more variety, countless women and warblers, compared to whom Sophia was really just an ordinary peasant woman in the town.

It is really unrealistic to ask William to make any promises.

She was silent, knowing that the girl in this situation was the most difficult to persuade, and she didn't directly scold or say anything, but hugged Sophia tighter......

……

"Wei ...... Mr. William! ”

Wu Ming came to his hut and saw a little boy waiting at the door, with apprehension in his eyes.

"Ava ......"

Looking at this somewhat immature face, Wu Ming suddenly remembered Joey's unlucky bastard.

Although he actively moved closer to himself, he was still too greedy in the siege of the ogre, resulting in being besieged by the ogre and dying.

After all, there are only a few team members who can survive and come back, and Wu Ming has seen many heartbroken wives and parents, and maybe children and younger brothers who have heard that their husbands or sons have been killed.

"What's wrong?"

He sighed inwardly, somewhat guessing Ava's intentions.

"Are you leaving?"

Ava looked at Wu Ming's horse and the long sword at his waist, mustered up his courage, and said softly, "I...... I want to follow you and be your servant! ”

"Haha!"

Wu Ming smiled: "I'm not a knight yet, I can't accept squires, unless you want to be my servant or slave!" ”

He rolled his eyes on Ava, "I've heard that at Wuthering Castle, a boy like you can sell for a high price in the slave market!" ”

The servant and the knight can also be said to have mutual obligations and responsibilities. But servants and slaves are the private property of their masters.

If he agrees, Wu Ming can really sell Ava.

So the little boy was frightened and took a few steps back.

"Haha......"

Seeing this kid's appearance, Wu Ming laughed happily.

"Alright...... You want to be a knight, why? ”

After laughing, he fell silent and looked at Ava, who was silent.

"I want ...... Gain power! ”

Ava clenched his fists: "I'm going to ...... ogre Revenge! ”

"Fight for hatred?"

Wu Ming said: "In this way, the rest of your life may stay in pain forever......

Looking at Ava's increasingly desperate face, he suddenly changed his words: "Of course...... What does this have to do with me? ”

Shout!

The long sword at his waist suddenly unsheathed and sank straight into the ground in front of Ava, leaving a hilt and half of the sword's blade: "Pull it up, and I'll consider teaching you something!" ”
