Chapter XXXVIII

Enter the month of the harvest.

In the rye fields outside the village of Nisse, the rye is like a golden ocean.

When the breeze blows, the rye shakes like a wave, and the wheat waves roll, which makes people feel refreshed!

This time is also the busiest time for the villagers.

Most of the villagers stopped digging or moving limestone and started their fields.

Harvest, turn and dry, then pack the rye into various storage items or keep it directly at home.

Everywhere you look, you can see wheelbarrows carrying baskets of rye from the wheat fields back to the village.

The wheelbarrow came in handy at this time, and was deeply loved by the masses of the people and received unanimous praise!

If only it wasn't that loud!

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The next day, when the sun was in the middle of the day, and the villagers were still toiling in the hot sun, a huge group of people came from the direction of the city of Patras and came to the village of William's Nisse.

At the head was none other than Viscount Gryn's henchman, Knight West.

Next to the Western knights, there were two knights who were also wearing full-body armor and wearing sharp weapons around their waists.

Three knights!

Such a lineup naturally alarmed William, who had been monitoring the surrounding situation with a magic mirror.

William came out of the earthen hut with the convoy and stood in front of the West Knights.

Although William knew the purpose of the West Knight's coming, and it was already a routine for them, William still asked the West Knight expressionlessly, "West Knight, you brought so much and entered my territory without my permission, are you here to send me an invitation from Viscount Gree?" Or is Viscount Greeen primarily going to invade my realm and wage an endless war with me? ”

When the West Knight heard William's words, it was as if they had heard some big joke, they were stunned for a moment, and then the corners of their mouths opened as they looked at William and the guards standing behind him with their faces straight, and laughed wildly.

After a long while, Knight West barely stopped laughing and said, "I have to say, Lord Baron Dicas, you are really humorous!" Do you think that with the dolls behind you, you can use them as warriors with weapons? ”

The Western Knight looked disdainfully at the group of guards behind William.

The faces of the guards were not good-looking, and Jacques Potter was even full of anger, panting, and glaring at the West Knight viciously.

However, the Western Knight didn't take him seriously at all, and Hercules Potter could bully the villagers, but in the face of a real knight, it was just a matter of a sword.

Knight West's eyes were always on William, "Lord Baron Dicas, please forgive our faux pas!" We come with the hope of life! ”

As he spoke, he ignored William, looked around at the surrounding villagers of the small village of Nisse, the corners of his mouth rose, and he said loudly, "Viscount Greon said that in order to celebrate the new lord of the small village of Nisse, this winter, the entrance fee to the city of Patras ......"

The villagers of the small village of Nisse listened with anticipation, expecting to hear the good news.

However, the corners of Knight West's mouth instantly bloomed with a cruel smile, ruthlessly shattering the extravagant hopes of the villagers, "This winter, the entrance fee to Patras City will be one gold pith coin and five silver francs per person!" ”

"You can exchange rye for cash, or you can use cash!"

Most of the villagers were in a panic.

Then the Knight of the West gently announced, "Rejoice, untouchables, this is a gift from your lord!" ”

"You can think about it, is life important, or is money important?"

"Knight, but we don't have that much money!" An old-faced villager plucked up his courage and pleaded, "Could you please tell Viscount Greeen to keep the same cost of entering the city as last year?" If we are all swallowed up by the cold winter, next year Viscount Greon will never be able to harvest a single grain from us again! Keeping us is like keeping a cow that produces milk, and Viscount Greine will get a steady stream of fresh milk......"

William hadn't said that old John could not listen anymore, and he shouted angrily, "Bold! This is the domain of Lord Baron Dicas, not Viscount Grien's! ”

Old John was in charge of his wages during this time, and his prestige also came out, and as soon as Old John drank it, the old-faced villager immediately lowered his head and didn't dare to say more.

Knight West sneered, stood up again, ignored Old John, and said directly to the old villager and the other villagers, "I feel sorry for this too! But I'm sorry, this is an order from Lord Viscount Grien, and I can't disobey it! ”

"This is also the consequence of the last time Baron Dicass angered Viscount Green. The glory of the nobility is not to be offended, but a slight increase in the price is already the result of the restraint of Lord Viscount Grien. ”

"You may turn to your lord, Baron Decas. Since he chose to offend Lord Viscount Grion, then he should have the courage to bear all these consequences! This fault is not up to you! ”

"Of course, you can also choose not to spend this winter in Patras City!"

"Oh, by the way, Lord Baron Ducas, Lord Viscount Grien is a generous man, and although you offended him last time, he is still willing to provide you with a safe place to live during the long winter!"

"It's just that the price has deviated a little, and the villa with 800 Pis gold coins last time has been bought, and now there is only one villa with 1200 Pis gold coins left. Hurry, Lord Baron! ”

What is Arrogance? This behavior of the Western Knight is outright arrogant, and he doesn't take William seriously at all.

The three knights and the frost moon are coming, which is the arrogance of the Western Knights!

If you don't have strength, you won't be looked down upon by others!

And some of the villagers were easily led up by the Western Knights, thinking that William had harmed them, and the resentment in their hearts arose, and they couldn't help but talk about it.

Old John suddenly felt the pressure, a cold sweat flowed, and he opened his mouth to say something, but was stopped by William.

The guards behind William were much more disciplined than the villagers, and although they had doubts, no one spoke up, and they still kept the queue undisturbed.

As for William, his expression was as usual, and he looked coldly, and there was no change at all.

This kind of performance did not satisfy the Western Knight, and he snorted secretly, and a suggestive look fell on Adams, who was hiding among the villagers.

Adams didn't want to come out, but the Western knights directly "called" him, and he didn't want to be a bird, so he could only stand up bravely.

During this time, through Andrew, Adams got his wish and got Viscount Green's promise, but correspondingly, at some point, he had to stand up.

"Good afternoon, Lord Baron!" Adams smiled awkwardly and said.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were on Adams, which made Adams feel scared and a little proud vanity at the same time.

"Do you think I'm fine now? Mr. Adams! The expression on William's face did not look surprised at all, which made Adams, who was secretly observing him, feel a bad feeling in his heart.

He didn't know that his small actions in the past half a month were clearly known to William.

Adams laughed dryly again, "Looks, like, uh, it doesn't seem to be a good thing, but of course it's only temporary." ”

"Oh, really?" William was smiling!

At this moment, a cold snort from the Western Knight came clearly, making Adams, who could hear it clearly, suddenly change his face.

This is the West Knight expressing his displeasure.

Adamston didn't dare to talk about it left or right, so he had to get straight to the point, "Lord Baron, do you need to give us an explanation?" ”

"Confess? What's the explanation? You untouchables, when will the Baron give you an account? Lord Baron shouldn't have been so kind to you during this time! Old John was furious, pointing at Adams' nose and yelling.

Adams was afraid to speak.

William's eyes indifferently stopped Old John's angry scolding at Adams, and then said to Adams, "Mr. Adams, Old John is right, what do I need to explain to you?" ”

As soon as the words came out, the villagers were in a commotion, and their eyes flashed with an incomprehensible light!

Knight West's mending sword was timely, "Look, villagers of Nisse, see what your lord is talking about?" He doesn't care about your lives! He doesn't want you to spend the winter in Patras! ”

As soon as the words came out, the villagers talked louder, with a hint of anger in their words.

The guards behind William, although there was a change in their eyes, still maintained a complete formation, and they were not instigated by West's words to cause chaos in the formation, which made William nod slightly in his heart, and also made West, who was secretly observing, even more dissatisfied.

This was not what he wanted to see!

Whether William was forced to bear the extra cost of the villagers to enter the city, or William didn't care about the life of the villagers at all, and only went into the city by himself, it would cause William to lose his prestige among the villagers of the small village of Nisse, and never listen to him again, and finally become a puppet of Viscount Grien.
