CHAPTER XXXV
(The third update, thank you for your support!There are two more chapters in the evening!!)
Listening to Donald's inquiry, Sir Jesse rarely rolled his eyes regardless of his aristocratic demeanor, and said in his heart:
"How difficult it is to become a nobleman, especially a field noble, it often takes several generations to work together to make it possible, you should be a genius mage like you, and you are a hereditary knight heir!"
However, although Jesse was slanderous in his heart, he still patiently explained to Donald:
"Donald, don't you know, orc armies of more than 10,000 people often appear when the orcs invade on a large scale, which has not appeared in our Celtic Kingdom for decades, and it is generally only in the countries of the central plains of the continent. As for the higher reward, it was not actually given in the conscription order, because the adult orc soldiers of the three small tribes could not exceed 10,000, and the number of orc spellcasters has always been scarce, and the senior shaman priests are afraid that there may not be more than a dozen in the entire orc territory, and the status of these silver shamans is equivalent to the chief of a large tribe, and they will not easily go out with the army, and they are generally commanded by the lair. ”
"If that kind of character appears, it means that the orcs are about to invade on a large scale, and the kingdom will inevitably dispatch an army like the three major legions, and it will be difficult for tens of thousands of people to make great achievements on the battlefield with individual force alone. Therefore, there is no mention of such an unattainable reward in the conscription order, but according to the records in history, if you can kill a high-ranking shaman, you can at least get the title and fief of a hereditary viscount or even an earl, and become a real local nobleman!"
After listening to these explanations, Donald couldn't help but sigh:
"It's really hard to become a nobleman or rise through the ranks of the nobility! But this is a good opportunity for me! Thank you Jesse for sending me this news from hundreds of miles away, otherwise I wouldn't have much time to prepare in advance when I get the news. ”
Jesse was overjoyed, and said with a smile on his face, "We're friends, aren't we?
Donald also laughed and said:
"Yes, we are friends, and in order to thank my friend, I have prepared a special gift for you, which cannot be found anywhere else, and you must not refuse!"
After saying this, Donald instructed Cod, who was waiting by, "Butler, please put the new black tea from my plantation on the table for dear Sir Jesse, for my friend will love it!"
"Great! Donald, you're so generous!"
Jesse was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked him.
The drink of black tea has been spread throughout the upper class of the entire northern county by the mouths of several mages and nobles who have been in contact, and even its reputation has spread far and wide, but the distribution of sales has not yet been determined, and it can only be drunk in the mage club.
If he can take out black tea as a drink to entertain guests, then he is probably the first nobleman in Beijun and even the entire kingdom to have this kind of mage drink. In this way, your reputation will definitely be of great benefit, and it will undoubtedly be of great help to make friends with the nobles of all parties!
Thinking of this, Sir Jesse was a little excited and held the wooden box sent by the butler of Curd, which contained a packet of dried black tea wrapped in gold leaf.
The cord is a common unit of weight in this world, weighing about eighty grams from Donald's previous life. Er is a small unit of measurement under the rope, and the weight of a rope is ten.
These two terms are units of measurement derived from the ancient Arcanist Empire, carried forward by the ancient magic empire Bannai thousands of years ago, and established as a unified unit of measurement on the mainland. The weight of a kinsol is exactly one rope, which is also the origin of the name of the kinsol. Each country on the mainland issued its own coins, and although the names and styles were different, the composition and weight of the gold coins in each country were almost the same, and they were all minted according to the ratio of one copper, two silver and seven gold. Therefore, the gold coins of various countries are generally referred to as kinsols.
This not only promotes trade between countries, but also has the meaning of making gold coins hard and resistant to wear and tear, after all, pure gold is one of the softer metals, which can be easily scratched, and adding a small amount of other metals will greatly increase the hardness of gold coins.
This practice is also inherited from the system of the Bannai Empire, after all, most of the current rulers of the great powers are the descendants of the nobility of the Bannai Empire, except for Sert, there are two countries on the continent that claim to be the orthodoxy of Bannai, and even for the sake of the legitimacy of the name, it has led to a war that has caused a great loss of vitality on both sides, and the two countries are still hostile to each other because of this.
The weight of a rope doesn't sound like much, but considering that these dried black tea products are roasted and dried, the portion is quite a lot, and saving a little is enough for Jesse to drink alone for a month or two.
To be able to give such a precious and meaningful gift, rather than simply Kinsor, shows that Donald, a mage, already sees himself as a friend worthy of deep friendship, how can Jesse, who has his own ideals and goals, not be happy?
Sending away Sir Jesse, who left with a box of black tea to achieve his goal, Donald was inexplicably excited.
"Uncle Kord, the time has finally come for our Melina family to rise!"
Donald, who officially received the news of the call-up order, was overjoyed.
War exploits have always been the greatest way for commoners to gain power and status, and other children of some aristocratic families who are not the eldest heirs of the eldest son will also choose to work under the army or other nobles, hoping to obtain a noble title. Even the children of some great nobles will participate in one or two battles with the support of the family to establish their qualifications to inherit and take charge of the family.
This kind of behavior, in the words of Donald's previous life, is the gold plated on the top ** down place!
For Donald, who has lost his family fiefdom, this war came at the right time, as long as he can make meritorious achievements on the battlefield with the strength of his summoner, there is a good chance that he will be rewarded by the upper echelons of the kingdom. Killing a thousand orcs alone will give you the title of knight and the reward of the manor, and if you kill a black iron shaman or ten thousand orcs, a knight or lord will be officially in hand.
As with the extermination of demonic creatures, the fight against orcs is a joint statement issued by the human nations, so the reward for this kind of battle merit is very strict, and after the war is over, it will be jointly rewarded by the royal family, the noble council and the temple, even if some people are dissatisfied, they can't stop it.
Donald, on the other hand, set his goal of acquiring at least one piece of his own domain, although the knight's domain was generally not too large, at most two or three villages, far less than his two estates. But with a territory, there is a nominal establishment of private armies and a stronger armed force. And his own family is a hereditary knight, and there are no requirements for titles, which is much easier than those commoners who want to be promoted to nobility!
Therefore, Donald is determined to win the merits of this war, at least that piece of knightly collar cannot be given to others.
The butler Cod laughed more excitedly than Donald and said with tears in his eyes:
"Yes, I've been waiting for this day for more than ten years, and it's all thanks to you, young master, that I have such an opportunity!"
Donald thanked him from the bottom of his heart:
"This is thanks to Ko De's care over the years, if it weren't for your upbringing, I wouldn't have lived to be ten years old, let alone have the current achievements! In the past two days, we have prepared well, and strive to rush to the border of the Marquis of Ansel as soon as possible, with the strength of most of the black iron mages now, I should be very sure of obtaining the greatest combat merits!"
Ke De nodded happily, and then went to prepare for the young master's battle.
Watching the butler prepare, Donald didn't stop, with the Book of Truth in his body, he didn't lack anything as long as he prepared enough crystal nuclei and energy, but he couldn't discourage the butler's enthusiasm, anyway, with more things, his spatial imprint was enough to fit.
Although his own estate has just started, it will take a while to take care of it, and if he leaves at this time, the progress will inevitably drag on a lot. But the benefits of acquiring a territory far outweigh the development of an estate.
However, while rejoicing, Donald was also very troubled when he thought of the attack the day before.
What worries him is that the safety of the people in the manor cannot be guaranteed after he leaves, they are all people he values in this world, so he must find a way to completely remove the secret threat before he hits the road. That's why he stepped up the acquisition of elemental spars, just to deal with this trouble.
