Chapter 36: Leaving Desmond
"I'm going to cancel the custom of eating and looking up at the stars after the autumn harvest festival." Sinloth clutched his left hand and screamed in pain. Even if Sinlos subconsciously reversed the direction of kinetic energy at the last moment, he still grinned in pain.
"I can't understand the logic of the contractor."
"The big premise: I have to lose consciousness to see Prescia, the minor premise: I ate and looked up at the stars and lost consciousness, and the conclusion: as long as I don't eat and look up at the stars, I won't see Prescia."
"I won't learn this spell until I see Prescia. I didn't learn this spell, and I wouldn't want to try this damn spell."
"Contractor, there's something wrong with your syllogism"
"I don't care, bastard. I am a lord and I have the right to legislate! ”
"To change customs and habits, you should not use the law, otherwise it will be rude."
"In the face of justice and justice and reality, we must challenge the wrong customs; Because power and prestige can represent the past, not the present and the future. And I am the one who has grasped the truth of this world, and history will prove that I am right. ”
"Contractor, please don't be willful. This is a thousand-year-old tradition of the Empire, and even the Senate, which likes to oppose the Emperor the most, will not support you. In all fairness, it tastes good to look up at the stars. ”
"Am I crazy or is the world crazy?"
"It must be the contractor that you are crazy, the system is absolutely correct in this world."
"Daddy is really, even if Aunt Jenny's cooking is delicious. But fainted directly, and it really scared Ellie to death. ”
"I'm really sorry about that, not next time." Sinloth stroked her daughter's soft blonde hair and smiled kindly.
"Hmph~ Then Ellie will trust her father again."
[Ellie's morality is reduced to 0, and Thoughtfulness is increased to 30]
It seems that the matter of finding a teacher for Ellie cannot be delayed any longer. Although it is temporary, if the morality is always zero, Xinlos always feels a little uneasy. Although the undisciplined Ellie occasionally thinks about it, it's quite emotional, but for a guy who aspires to be a qualified father, this possibility is unacceptable.
Sinloth sat down at the long table with Ellie in his arms, silently jotting it down in his mental schedule.
"My lord, we're all set."
Not long after the merry breakfast time began, Sinloth heard Bismarck's calm voice ringing in his ears. Cynlos took a piece of black bread and stuffed it into his mouth: "Hmm? It's good so soon? Didn't you drink like that yesterday, and it's really okay to hit the road today? ”
"One night's time, that's enough."
Sinlos glanced around at the knights in military uniforms, and looked at not only the three young knights, but even Roland, who was drunk yesterday, was now in good spirits: "Yes, then let's wait, Robert, bring the box in my room." ”
"Yes, sir." In a few moments, the maid pulled out a small, worn-out box from under Sinloth's bed. The knights watched as the maid walked back with the box with one hand, and they didn't know what it contained. But they were silent, and none of them asked.
The knights are very obedient to their vassals, and if the lord doesn't say it, they won't ask it. Regardless of why the nobles from the royal capital were divided into the poor countryside of Desmond; Regardless of why Sinloth, who was almost seriously injured and died, he was able to get out of bed alive in just a few days; Don't ask why there was a loud bang in Sinloth's room last night.
"Claes, is Claes there?"
"My lord, I'm here."
The blonde steward seemed to be everywhere, and whenever Sinloth needed him, he was always there in time for the lord. This guy's kung fu to please the lord is really the pinnacle.
"Claes, this box is the one I talked about last time. I'm going to North Munster today and I don't know when I'll be back. There shouldn't be much going on in the castle for a while, so don't stay in the castle all the time, go to the nearby monastery for me, it's a terrible feeling to be blind. My message is not as well-informed as Roland."
The young man's eyes lit up, and his face flashed with excitement: "That thing you said last time, is it?"
Sinloth looked reserved, and bowed slightly. "Yes, that's it."
In order to get this thing out, I really took a lot of detours. But in the end, he succeeded. Of course, because of those dirty thoughts in his heart, he just made such a box out. However, as samples, these quantities are also sufficient. I don't know what kind of changes this big killer will bring to this world. But this is none other than Sinlos, he just wants to make a little money to support his family.
As one of the two major powers on the continent, the Empire rules the body and the church rules the soul. If you give something like this to the other nobles of the empire, they may not buy it, but if you give it to the church, it would be even better. Something else, the wealthy church may not be aware of. But the contents of the box, although not expensive to say, are of great significance to the church.
It was a box of blank paper.
Not parchment, but white paper. Although from Xinluos's point of view, the paper is still quite far from the "white paper" in his mind, but in the eyes of people in this world, it is indeed a blank slate.
To be the bishop of a region is not to be foolish. It should be seen the meaning behind the white paper in this box, Xinluo can make a box at once, and naturally he can make more. And a large number of cheap and beautiful white paper is destined to be a big hit.
After so many years of development, the parchment industry has long been self-contained. At all stages, it has long been monopolized by the aristocracy. Sinloth can imagine the impact of white paper on parchment. He didn't have the qualifications or the guts to challenge the authority of the dukes in the royal capital. To put it mildly, his eyes are black, and he doesn't even have a way to find a duke as a backer. Even if he was a fiefdom nobleman, he was just a baron.
There is no manpower, no money, and no guts. In that case, it is better to leave it to the church.
Sinlos does not belong to the church, and even if it is at least for the sake of the apparent harmony with the nobles of the empire, the church will offer a high price.
That's enough. There are many ways to make money, but it doesn't have to be this one.
Technology upgrade or something, I like it the most. No wonder those guys from the original world like to come out with upgraded versions so much. As for whether there will be any hidden dangers left, the mortal wisdom of Xinluos really can't think about it so far-reaching.
"Take my handwritten letter, don't be reluctant to do a good job." It's not that Xinlos is overly concerned, the reputation of the merchant profession in this world is real
"Your Excellency, please trust me. If you can get more cute gold coins, then it is not unacceptable to let some cuties spend a few days in other people's money bags. ”
"If you understand, then let's leave on a certain day." Sinlos gave a few more words, and watched as the young man struggled to carry the box in his hands, and bowed out of the castle gate.
"I hope for a qiē shun lì." Sinlos looked at the young man's back and slowly exhaled a long breath, "By the way, have you decided, who will stay in Desmond?" ”
"Stay?"
"Didn't you take us with you?"
"Ah, yesterday I forgot to mention the large-scale invasion of the Normans a while ago, which made me very worried about Desmond's safety. If there is no one left, I am very worried. Moreover, the road to North Munster is relatively safe, and you don't need to be accompanied by all the knights. ”
Indeed, it is difficult to be reassuring to say that there is no one left behind Desmond. The knights were so excited at the thought of going to follow the lord but other territories that they didn't even think of this at all.
Gino and Ruziano glanced at each other, and both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. If there is no accident, it is basically the two of them who stay. They are different from Jeremia, who has traveled abroad for many years, and they are far inferior to the other three in terms of martial arts and qualifications.
The Normans were not fools, and the loss of a few hundred elites was a ruined loss for any small or medium-sized tribe. Even if it's a big clan, it's quite a painful thing. The Norman tribes who died now are probably busy dealing with the invasion of their own people, and they have no time to pay attention to Desmond.
What the knights didn't know was that those elite warriors had long since abandoned the old and weak, and were already the last remnants of that tribe.
"My lord, let me stay this time, the territory has just been warned, and people's hearts are unstable. If you don't have anything important to leave, I'm afraid that there will be some changes in the territory. Before the two young knights could speak, Bismarc was the first to speak.
"Ahh But if Arian Hurd comes, I'm not there. That woman is going to beat me to death."
Sinlos looked at the two guys and shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Why don't you give me a decent reason." Well, since you say so, then Jeremia, the three of you can go on a trip with me, you happen to be young people, and you are more comfortable. ”
Hearing this, Bismal shook his head, and Roland grinned. As Xinlos said, it's not that they don't want to go to other territories to see, the loneliest thing in the world is nothing more than a night walk in brocade. After so many years of hard work, he finally became a real knight, and if he didn't go out to show off, how could he be worthy of the hard work over the years.
But they still chose to stay, after all, they are all a little old, so let's leave the opportunity to the young. They will eventually die, and Desmond will rely on these young men to protect them, and it will always be beneficial and harmless for them to go out with the lord to see the world.
"Then now everyone go and pack their bags, and gather at the gate of the castle at noon, and you will go too."
By any measure, Jenny is better suited to accompany her than Robert. But Xinluo chose her, and the docile maid didn't ask why, but just bowed slightly: "Yes, sir." ”
