Chapter 31: The Bounty That Finally Arrived

"Hehehehe, funny remarks, you are a very interesting knight, Sir Luceen. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Bishop Kevin was stunned for a moment, then understood, and reluctantly responded.

"Well, let's get down to business, we've been delayed for a while. Lu Sien was no longer polite, and spoke directly.

"Yes, yes. "The bishop doesn't want to continue grinding here. "Please come with me. ”

The group entered the interior of the church, although it was dedicated to animal gods, but the interior decoration was no different from the decoration of Lu Sien's previous life and previous life. The church is not large, compared to the headquarters of a church, but it is still majestic for the other buildings around it. The first thing you see is the statue of the deity enshrined by the church, a sculpture in the image of a sturdy stag, except for the antlers on the head, the details of the face are not observable by Lu Sien. A large bell hangs on the wall above the statue, and a few white candles are lit on the candelabras around it, emitting an aroma similar to agarwood, but not too bright, and the interior of the church is mainly lit by the oil lamps on the walls. Then there are the side by side pulpits, altars, and holy water altars, and below them are dozens of rows, one row of two Seiko wooden row chairs. There are a few frescoes around, mostly depicting a knight and a stag in various settings, perhaps some of the deeds of the founder of the Marquisate family. Six stone pillars hugging each other support the church's heavy, completely opaque dome.

For the residents here, it can be called beautiful, but for Lu Sien and his party, it is still too shabby, there is no superfluous decoration, no glass windows, no altar for holy relics, not even a choir. Fortunately, he didn't expect too much from this place, so Lu Sien still maintained a minimum of respect for a god, and did not show his disdain, and his face was not shocked.

"This is the Marquis's wanted decree for the Red Dogs, please take a look. The bishop originally planned to use the magnificent spirit of the church to scare Lu Sien, but Kevin, who had been quietly paying attention to Lu Sien's expression, confirmed that Lu Sien's indifferent expression did not seem to be fake, and his interest was accompanied by a deep sense of powerlessness, and he no longer made any other small movements, took out a sheepskin scroll and handed it to Lu Sien. It's over early, send them away early, the bishop hurts his pride a little. "This is the Marquis's explanation of the wanted warrant, and it still has the mark of our lord Benier, which cannot be forged. ”

Indeed, in addition to the mark of the Marquis's Seal Ring, there was another vague fluctuation on the scroll that Lu Sien held in his hand, which seemed to him to be very similar to the Order Code on his waist, but much weaker.

Anyone who exterminates the Red Jackal and his fallen knights will receive the following rewards.

Ninety households belonging to the Marquis of Dikal and on the territory of Yaxing;

1,000 gold coins (4,000 dinars) provided by the Church of Benier;

It belonged to the widow of the lord of the Yayuki territory, and it was an armed weapon used by the lord.

......

There's a detailed explanation below, but that's probably what it means.

Well, to be honest, the reward on this document, Lu Sien cares most about the ninety households. "Let's start the handover. Lu Sien didn't have any objections, he spoke directly, and finally came to this point, and couldn't help yawning.

"Of course," said the Bishop, "of course," said the Bishop, but with some doubts, "by the way, Sir Luxen, we have some small questions to discuss before then. ”

"Huh?" Lu Sien frowned.

"Don't get me wrong, it's mainly about these lords above?" the bishop explained with a wry smile, he was also helpless about the speed at which Lu Sien turned his face, "Sir Lu Sien, do you own a fief? If you are not a lord, you will not be able to take these people away, but you can be compensated by 30 dinars per household, or ......"

"Oh, well, of course I'm a lord!" Lu Sien waved his hand, stopping Kevin's words.

"Ahh "It's completely unexpected, I originally came to see the two powerful and beautiful knights behind Lu Sien, the bishop's willingness was originally to recruit Lu Sien for the marquis, if Lu Sien didn't have a fief, he had the right to reward Yaxing to Lu Sien for the marquis, so that Lu Sien became the marquis's vassal. "Forgive me for taking the liberty of your territory?"

"Moon who is not far from that Yayuki!" Do you know?" At this time, Lu Sien didn't care, the migration of a large number of people, and Moon's location would inevitably be noticed by the outside world. Moreover, although this small village on the verge of bankruptcy has just left the brink of collapse, it is far from developing to the point of self-sufficiency, and many things still depend on the outside world, and the volume is getting bigger and bigger, and Pete alone is certainly not enough.

"Moon?" the bishop was a little impressed, but he couldn't tell the difference, he had the impression that the surrounding villages didn't seem to have that name.

"That territory is on the edge of the marquis's county, and I'm not a vassal of the marquis!"

"Oh! you're the Earl of Morn's ......," Bishop Kevin was shocked, he had heard of all the mess in the aristocratic circles. The only one who doesn't know the truth about this is the Kabas family, who are collectively rejected by this aristocracy. There are many reasons for this, the origin of the Kabas merchant, and the family with no background at all. On top of that, although legally owned by Earl Morn, it was actually just a disgusting nail planted by Archduke Bauhinia in the gap between the territories of Marquis of Stag and Earl Blackhoof.

"No, no, now Moon is only responsible to the Grand Duke of Bauhinia!" Lu Sien interrupted and retorted to the bishop again, "As for the reason, although my simple father doesn't quite understand, I believe that the nobles of Rouse City should know about it, right?"

Well, yes.

Bishop Kevin nodded knowingly, since the feudal lord has deviated from his obligations to his vassals, then he has naturally lost his restraint on it. This is one of the pillar clauses of the Holy Noble Charter, as the foundation of the aristocratic class's rule, even the Marquis cannot blame, not to mention, the Stag Territory and the Black Hoof Territory are originally two bordering territories, and don't expect the two sides to be peaceful and friendly neighbors.

However, in this case, for this independent lord between the two territories, his attitude towards it will have to change slightly, because of the unique geographical location, the small village of Moon is just a neglected enclave for the Bauhinia Duchy, but it seems that the combat power of the two young knights has given him a lot more potential.

"Well, Sir Lusne. "As far as I know, Moon is not far from Ayuki at least two or three days away, and although it is the end of winter, the current weather is not particularly suitable for those mud-legged long journeys, and if we do it in a few days, after the beginning of spring, it will not only delay the ploughing, but also waste a whole year's labor, I have a suggestion for this." ”

"Well, I'd like to hear about it. Kevin said these things, Lu Sien also thought about it, but there was still no solution. For a long time, Lu Sien has subconsciously avoided this problem, hoping that the farmers of Yaxing can have at least the materials to last for two or three days of marching.

However, it is too wishful thinking and unrealistic to expect the villagers of a village without the protection of a lord to be rich.

"For your merits, I can make an exception for your refuge with my lord Benier, so that those mud-legged men can temporarily gain the ability to march for two days, but afterwards I hope that your territory will have enough food to replenish them. "Of course, you'll have to pay something, probably ...... Well, 3,000 dinars is a very reasonable price. (Actually, it only takes 2000). ”

"Oh, can it be like this?" Lu Sien's eyes flashed, no problem, the last thing I lack is money, uncle. "It's a good deal, let's get started with the handover. ”

"Rest easy, Sir, we still need to wait for someone. Kevin would also like to get the deal done as soon as possible, but it's true that there is one less participant in the ceremony.

"Bishop Kevin, is it true, have the villains finally paid enough?" was about to ask, when the last participant in the Rite of Justice finally arrived. "Oh, my poor Rosta, I don't have to face your helpless and desperate soul in a nightmare. ”

"This is Miss Kate, Sir. Bishop Kevin duly introduced, "The wife of the Knights of Rosta, who was killed by the Red Dogs' gang, and she will bear witness to your exploits." Then he turned to Kate, "Madam, this Sir Rusten, a righteous, powerful and merciful knight, it is he who has brought those scoundrels to the judgment they deserve. ”

Lu Sien nodded to the lady with a sad and sad face, but also with happiness and relief.

"I'm really shocked, young knight, I didn't expect you to slash all the villains of the Red Dog, and I express my sincerest gratitude to you on behalf of Rosta, who is about to return to the arms of the gods. Still, "with a lot of determination, Ms. Kate spoke," The Red Dog has been exterminated, and I have lost my last reason to stay in this land, I have no children with Rosta, and when this is all over, I don't want to continue to run that sad territory, there are one hundred and twenty-seven tenant farmers in Yayu, and you will take ninety of them, and if you will, the remaining thirty-seven farmers, I am willing to transfer them all to you at the price of 30 dinars each, after which I will go back to the Duchy, to my mother, this sad place I really don't want to stay for a moment。 ”

"Do you think that's okay?" said Ms. Kate, turning to Bishop Kevin.

"Well, of course, ma'am, if you really renounce your and your descendants' inheritance of Akiyuki, this is your right. Bishop Kevin was a little helpless, thirty-seven households could have a large number of people, and the demand for Benier's divine power was also more, so the 3,000 dinars he had just agreed with Lu Sien was basically nothing to gain, unless Lu Sien himself rejected this proposal. "As long as Sir Russon agrees. ”
