Chapter Twenty-Six: The Duke of Winsha's Equipment
A true knight's belief in chivalry is no less than a devout believer's belief in religion. Ever since Sijiu solemnly handed over the ice mushroom to Baghdadia, this pact of allegiance has been formed. From then on, these rangers and the wild ghosts they led regarded Sijiu as their own people, at least the slaves of their own adults. Although the slave was still humble and weak, he was entitled to share with him what he had. One of Boenny's men could not survive the days without sulfur and ice fruits, so he left the team and ran into the jungle to end his flesh. Within ten days, his body was rotten, and his soul had lost its physical ties and flew away from the land. If he hadn't been attracted to the Soul Gathering Tower or the Conjuring Bagpipes again, there would have been only one ending waiting for him, gradually blowing away in the wind, and his soul would have completely perished. And the bones and equipment left by this ghost pawn, Boenny didn't have time to sell them to the lord, so he just gave the equipment to Sijiu to wear.
Sijiu only chose the sword and leather armor left by the ghost pawn, and the steel chest armor and shoulder guards on his body, he really couldn't take them.
If you follow the Baghdad idea, you can hit the road. But Sijiu refused. Because at that time, this strange young master of his own ordered him to return to the castle. But what are you going back to the castle for? Sijiu himself doesn't know. Did he run too quickly and forgot about it, or did the young master never tell him at all? The rangers said that they couldn't help it, so they had to accompany Sijiu to the Duke of Windsor's castle again.
Coming to the castle, the four rangers did not want to see the lord at all. Although they had the right to enter and leave the castle, it was only out of respect for the position they had held, not out of obligation to the lord. So the four rangers went straight to the Artisan Quarter, where there were bars where the low-class ghosts passed the time, and in addition to the shoddy and water-mixed ice fruit wine, there were various black market channels. They need to find a suitable opportunity to sell the ice mushrooms, and selling them to the lord may not get the most out of it.
Sijiu went directly to Belgo, the undead knight, and told Belgo about the border village, but Belgo was silent for a while. Sijiu had the audacity to peek at Bergo, but was startled by the ugly face with a missing forehead, and hurriedly withdrew his gaze, bowing his head and waiting for the knight's command.
"What does he think?" said Bergo, still in a short and clean style. Sijiu only listened to these four words, and knew that it was the strange young master of his own family who was asking. But what is this strange young master thinking, how can Sijiu know?
"My lord, when the young master asked me to come back, I was in a hurry, and he didn't say anything to let me come back. Sijiu said in a low voice, "But the young master said that I would come back alone, because I was afraid that if there was a fight, there would be no one over there to protect me." "Lu Jingzhi's original intention was to keep those undead infantry for self-defense, in Sijiu's opinion, everything that is likely to become bad will definitely become bad, so if there is a possibility of war on the young master's side, there will definitely be a war.
"Hit?!" Belgo thought for a moment and shook his head, "No." ”
"My lord, if something happens to the young master, your taxes this year have not yet been settled. Sijiu knew what Bergo's heart disease was, and seeing that he was not in a hurry at this time, he took a strong dose of medicine on his painful feet.
"He, gone to collect taxes?" Belgo's heart moved.
"Yes, sir. Sijiu said what he knew in a few sections, "When the young master got over there, he asked how the sulfur was mined, and he taught them to burn charcoal, saying that if it was used well, it would save them from the pain of poisonous gas." ”
Without the poisonous gas infestation, and the recovery ability of the human body is so strong, the collection speed will definitely increase. Even if half of the forehead corner is missing, such a simple reason still makes sense at a moment's notice.
"You wait. "Bergo has gone to the Duke to discuss, after all, this is the Duke of Windsor's territory. Although Bergo was an important knight under the Duke's command, he was not allowed to lead his troops to the border village to fight against the Ados side. You come, I go, this is a conventional rule of the game. No one will fight for the small village that is struggling to survive, but no one will give up the place where strategic goods are produced. This time, the Duke of Windsor still refused to go to war with Ados.
Back in his room, Bergo summoned Forty-Nine again.
"Lord Duke, don't fight. Bergo said simply, knowing that Sijiu could understand it, so he didn't waste any time organizing the language in his mind first.
"Your Excellency, take your own personal guards. Save our young master. Forty-nine pleaded. In addition to the two ghost pawns sent out, there are two more than Bergo. If you add Bergo himself, the undead knight, even if he can't win the battle, he will definitely be able to save the young master.
"My soldiers, not here. "Bergo's ghost pawns have been requisitioned by the lord to patrol. Ever since he had a forehead horn knocked out by humans, he had become more and more dishonored in front of the lords. But if there is anything, he who is recruited must choose his men first.
"My lord, if it's a soldier, I have it. Sijiu hesitated for a moment, but still made up his mind to speak, "It's just that they don't have mounts and armor." ”
With a stiff sneer, Bergo asked in a tone that was hardly questioning, "Rangers?" The only people who could fight the regular infantry of the tax collection were the same regular troops, and the only ones who had lost their equipment.
"Yes, sir. Sijiu stiffened his head and said, "The young master has already thought about these things and asked me to buy these rangers, but they don't have horses or armor, so I think the young master asked me to go back to the castle first, and I must be looking for you to solve these things." ”
"No!" Belgo shook his head, "No." ”
Forty-nine stood up disappointed, and since Bergo said no, he had to take the rangers lightly on his own. I don't know if the young master will scold himself if he knows that he didn't do things well. If it's just a couple of scoldings, it's okay, but if the young master has three long and two short, he will die and die. Sijiu took a few steps back, arrived at the door, turned around to leave, and suddenly the wooden box in his arms accidentally fell out, fell to the ground with a bang, the lid of the box was directly broken, and a soaring aroma instantly filled the castle.
"What?" Belgo was not good at talking, but he was fast, and a lunge came and fastened the wooden box on the ground. "Ice mushroom!"
"That's right!" Si Jiuyi clapped his hands, "Why did I forget it?" The young master prepared two ice mushrooms, and he only used one of them, and of course the other one had to be used for this. It's okay if you're stupid, why don't you know how to count.
But if Lord Bergo took the ice mushroom away, why didn't he mention anything about the equipment? When Sijiu was wondering, a ghost pawn came in and gave an order, Lord Duke had invited Lord Bergo.
Bergo glared at Sijiu depressedly, stood up, and said, "You, wait." With that, he went away with the messenger.
Although Sijiu was in a hurry, he didn't wait long for Belgo to come back. He used the ugly face that was missing half of the forehead to touch the face of Forty-Nine, meditated in his heart for a while, and asked, "Is that thing really given to you by that human boy?"
Sijiu was so frightened by this ugly face that his heart was about to jump out of his throat, and he nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, my lord." The young master asked me to use it on the way back, and I ......" He almost told him about the one he used on the road, but fortunately he stopped in time.
Bergo stared at Sijiu for a long time, and after confirming that he was not lying, he nodded and said, "Very good, he has the ability." "This ice mushroom is enough to cover the taxes he will pay to his lord this year, and it is only worth the valuation. In terms of rarity, as long as there is enough time, the value can be sold several times higher. For the sake of this human brat's ability, he must be rescued.
Just now, the aroma of the ice mushroom was smelled by the lord Duke Wensha, and he called Belgo up, just to ask for this ice mushroom. Belgo didn't hesitate and took it out. The Duke liked it more and more, and after being happy, he decided on the spot that Bergo's tax would be paid this year. Taking advantage of the duke's pleasure, Bergo proposed to send troops to the border village, but he was still rejected. But the Duke, at his insistence, promised him that he could call upon the castle's equipment as long as the user did not belong to the castle, and that it must be returned in good condition.
"You can go. The Duke of Windsor said in a soft voice peculiar to the undead nobles, "Because that's your fief." But no one else's soldiers can do it. ”
That's enough. Belgo hurriedly thanked the lord, then ran back, and took Sijiu to collect weapons and equipment. In addition to his own mounts and plate armor, he also prepared war horses, spears, and plate armor for the four rangers. Then he brought all the zombie auxiliaries he could use.
There was nothing to say all the way, and when he arrived at the border village, Lu Jingzhi had already fought with Nado for most of the night. Nadeau was impaled in the spearhead by Bergo.
Later, Lu Jingzhi himself could figure it out. It should be that after he was rescued, Bergo was afraid that he would die, so he went to ask the witch doctor in the castle, Lord Gaso. The witch doctor saw the duke's face and gave himself good medicine to save himself.
"Then what's going on with the border village now? What about the stupid two of them? And the six undead soldiers I brought?" Since it is on his own side, he no longer disdainfully calls it a ghost pawn or something, Lu Jingzhi unconsciously used the word undead.
"You are asking the village, there are new allegiances to Baghdadi guarding them. Four-Nine replied, "Silly two, they live with those mounts now. It's not that they don't greet them, and Lord Bergo says that they don't count as your formation, but only your personal mount, so sleep in the stable. The other six...... The undead soldiers, all wounded, were treated by Lord Gasso. ”
Lu Jingzhi nodded, which can be regarded as approval. The result of his original discussion with Belgo was also like this, stupid and stupid two will be treated as a mount for the time being, and when there are conditions in the future, he will fight for it. After all, I'm struggling here.
If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
