Chapter 49: Reward
By the time the Knights of the Bones and the garrisons of the City of Bones hurried to the arena in the Marquis's Castle, the Assassins had long since disappeared.
The Marquis of Fell was furious, especially since his panic when confronted by the Assassins had tarnished his image in the minds of the people.
And the most troublesome thing for the marquis is that the envoys from the royal capital, except for Kilok and Sean, the rest of the people are dead and wounded, if this news reaches the royal capital, if Fell wants to explain this matter clearly, it is inevitable to prepare a large amount of wealth.
"Fortunately, Lord Marquis is fine, otherwise Master Sean and I wouldn't know how to explain it. Killlock comforted the Marquis of Fair, and the assassin actually committed murder under his and Sean's noses, in fact, the two of them felt the most shameless.
"It's been too long since the age of peace, and my hands are rusty...... Killok can only use this thought to persuade himself not to care too much, and he can't even stop a masked assassin.
Master Sean remained silent, but this incident reminded him of another event, but there was no evidence to prove that the two were related.
The martial arts arena was already a mess, with cries, shouts, and screams, especially the teenagers in Haider who remained here, most of them had been frightened, and several of them were really unlucky to be shot by stray arrows......
"Xiuin, goddess bless, it's great to see you're okay!" Charlotte and Leo, who were covered in ashes, were both relieved to see that Xiuyin was okay, and when the assassins attacked, the two of them lay on the ground and did not dare to move until they heard the guards arrive, but their legs were still a little shaky.
"What about Hans?" Huin didn't see Hans, and was a little worried about this little friend, Huin had a good impression of Hans, and even thought that when he became a lord, he must win Hans into the gang.
"His guy was a blessing in disguise, but he was shot in the leg with a crossbow bolt, and I saw him carried away on a stretcher. ”
Leo was right, Hans was lucky compared to those who died in the attack.
Knowing that Hans was fine, and that he had just learned that his father was fine, it was only at this moment that Xiu Yin relaxed his nerves, which had been tense, and a strong sense of fatigue followed.
"Hune Neumann, the Marquis, please. Lynkov, the castle steward, had come over while Huin and Leo were talking to Charlotte, and his clothes had been torn several times, and there seemed to be a wound on his left arm, even though it had been wrapped in gauze, and some blood could be seen oozing out.
With a smile on his face, Lynkov made a "please" gesture to Xiuin, who was now waiting to see him after saving the Marquis from the VIP stage.
Lynkov led Xiuin to the depths of the castle, and there were guards every few steps on the road, and it seemed that this time the Marquis was really frightened, and the castle was several times more vigilant.
There wasn't much communication between Lynkov and Xiuin along the way, and it is worth mentioning that he looked at the small crossbow on Xiuyin's left arm with curiosity.
In addition, he expressed his surprise, "It's really a very exquisite little crossbow, and it must be made by a dwarf to make such a delicate thing." ”
Xiu Yin nodded undeniably, but the idea of the small crossbow came from Xiu Yin, but there is no need to explain too many things to Lynn Kov, Xiu Yin from another world has many memories in his mind that far exceed the technology of this world, but weapons such as machine guns and missiles Xiu Yin is really powerless.
Another episode is when Xiu Yin was walking with Lin Enkov on the way, and when he met a patrol guard, Xiu Yin saw Lin Ke's figure, and Lin Ke also saw him.
A fierce gaze looked at Xiu Yin, Xiu Yin took the initiative to avoid it, he was not afraid of Lin Ke, but at this time, there was no need to continue to publicize the discord between the two brothers in front of outsiders.
Almost reaching the very center of the castle, when Xiuyin, who was already very tired, was about to hold on, Lynkov finally said, "It's here." ”
In a very luxuriously decorated marquis's private room, in addition to the Marquis of Fair, who sat in the middle of the main seat, on either side of his head, there were also one-handed fast swords Kirok and Master Sean, and on the lower side, sat Xiuin's father Shuk.
Both father and son saw that each other was fine, and they both smiled.
"Lord Marquis, bring it to Neumann. After Lynnkov had led Xiuin into the room, he saluted Fell and withdrew, as the head of the castle, he had almost a myriad of things to attend to after the attack.
"Heroes from ancient times, good, very good, Shuk, the revival of your Neumann family is just around the corner!"
The voice of the Marquis of Fell rang out in the room as one of the servants pushed out a chair for Xiu Yin next to his father.
"The Marquis's irregularity is the happiest thing for us!" said Schuck at once complimenting Fair.
Killlock, who was beside the marquis, waited for the polite words between the nobles to end, and immediately asked about Xiuin's small crossbow.
The people here have a great interest in the small crossbow on Xiuyin's left arm, and it was Xiuyin who saved the Marquis, and it was also this small crossbow.
Xiu Yin reluctantly took the small crossbow from his left arm, presented it to the marquis with both hands, and muttered in his heart, "These people don't think my crossbow is good, and forcibly take it away......"
There are things about superiors asking for all kinds of things from their subordinates with the power in their hands, and Xiu Yin has not seen it uncommon.
Fortunately, these people, like Lynnkov, were amazed for a while, and returned the small crossbow to Xiuin.
In fact, Xiu Yin's thinking is a bit too much, in an era when chivalry is prevalent, especially the lord of one side, few people will do such dirty things.
"So, do you have anything you want?"
The Marquis of Fair had changed into a new luxurious robe, and his face was still the majesty of the previous marquis, which was almost the same as the marquis who was so panicked that he even left a lot of liquid in his lower body.
Xiu Yin thought about it, the Marquis's question was really difficult to answer, but as a Xiu Yin who had an actor's self-cultivation, he saluted the Marquis again, and said, "It is natural for Xiu Yin to be able to relieve the lord's predicament, let alone have the idea of wanting to get something from the lord." ”
Xiuin's answer was ingenious, ostensibly not asking for any reward, but in fact throwing the question back to the Marquis.
In front of the two highly prestigious envoys of the royal capital, the marquis could not be cold to his own life-saver.
Fell touched his chin and said loudly, "Then dispense with the Legion Fort this year's Nagong!"
Listening to the lord's statement, both Shuk and Xiu Yin got up and saluted him again to express their gratitude, but in fact, the father and son had already scolded Fair ten thousand times in their hearts.
The so-called tribute is like a tax levied by the lord from the lord's people, except that the tribute is the relationship between the big lord and the small lord.
The small lords within the lord of the lord have to pay a certain amount of money to the lord every year, which can be money, grain, or other valuable things, which is the tribute.
The proportion of tribute is levied according to a certain proportion of the income of the small lord in the year, and there will be a special tax officer to check the territory of the small lord, and there is also a minimum payment standard, if the small lord can not even complete this minimum standard of tribute, he will be deprived of the title.
Huin's grandfather was demoted from viscount to baron because of Lyxingburg's lack of income.
The Marquis of Fell said that he would be exempted from paying tribute to Fort Lysing for a year, but in fact, this amount was not much, and according to Xiuyin's heart, he would have to reward at least a thousand gold coins for such a meritorious achievement.
Killok and Sean didn't know where Lysingburg was in the Dominion of Haider, but according to the barons they saw in the royal capital, the exemption of a year's tribute was a very big reward, and if they knew that Lessingburg was almost the poorest territory in the Dominion of Heidel, they would definitely accuse Fell of being too picky!
Fell touched his nose when the father and son thanked him, and he knew that this was a bit stingy, and of course in order to silence their father, Fell had to carry out another plan.
"So, Master Sean, look at our young mage from Haidel, don't you...... Uh, that is a bit of a qualification?" Fell's meaning is already obvious, that is, he hopes that Master Sean can bring Xiu Yin to the royal capital for further study.
Marquis Fair's words immediately mobilized Xiuin's mental head, and Xiuke also looked at Sean.
Sean looked at Xiu Yin again, this time from a close distance, and this kind of scanner-like gaze made Xiu Yin a little uncomfortable.
