022. Get a Country (1)
"If you want me to say, he is a traitor, he must have killed the king!"
"Don't talk nonsense."
"What are you afraid of, this is the Viscount's territory, haven't you heard that the Viscount has gone to Prince Freitrick to support the prince to regain the throne."
"But the palace minister's army, I heard that there are 15,000 people! Our territory can only pull out more than a thousand people......"
"Courage overrides."
Gossip, drooling.
Arnold listened attentively, too, as he told Bran what he had heard.
It seems that the king (viper) died, and the throne fell to the little prince, and at the same time, the palace minister issued a general decree to condemn the knight chief of the royal court at that time, and killed the king in order to compete for the throne.
A national crusade against it.
But there were many lords who were unwilling to obey orders.
Even the Livonian Order, one of the four major knights, declared its neutrality and wanted to investigate the cause of the king's death......
Some drinkers heard Livonia and even kicked the table away.
"Bullshit Knights, for the sake of an Alan dog woman, it's okay to arrest people from their own territory, even our younger brother who passed by to do business was forcibly conscripted into the battlefield as a groom, and now the war is over, but my brother's whereabouts are unknown......"
"It's your business to scold the Knights, you have to compensate me for kicking the broken table, you iron guy."
There was nothing to do that night, Duncent slept in the fort, and Bran slept with Arnold in the storeroom on the first floor.
The castle treasury smelled too bad, and Bran took out the incense, lit it, and at last made the smell more pleasant, and as soon as he entered the town, he took the time to get it from the merchant.
……
This morning, the wind is blowing.
The wind poured in through the windows, and the clothes of the people on the street were constantly lifted.
The windmills of the town mill are also in full swing.
Black smoke rose from the chimney, and on the first day the lord's eldest son arrived, he had to eat the sumniest meal in the region.
Bakers and butchers start working in the middle of the night.
The sound of the crowd moving woke Bran in the storeroom.
After a brief freshening up meal, Bran continued his duties.
Today, Duncent began to purchase supplies and audit accounts.
While Duncent called the castle steward to check the accounts, Bran was still on guard.
I hadn't used the abacus for a long time, and when he saw the butler's abacus tool, Bran subconsciously glanced at it a few times.
There were two more people in my head, Simon and Hield.
The names and faces of these two men appeared, and they appeared to be their subordinates, one was a priest and the other was the son of a peasant, and they were short in stature, but very intelligent......
Duncent looked at the ledger, dissatisfied with a certain line of numbers, and said to the butler, "I remember wrong." ”
The housekeeper said yes, but Duncent insisted that it was wrong, and the housekeeper came over and thought about it for a while and changed the number, and Duncent nodded with satisfaction.
Back and forth, Duncent got a little oil and water from his father's hands.
In the afternoon, Bran was sent to sort out the contents of the other storehouses, old clothes, armor, and miscellaneous items.
I was busy until about four o'clock in the afternoon.
There are quite a few people with night blindness, and this time is almost the end of the day's work.
His body was covered in sweat, but this place was not easy to clean, so Bran simply took water and moistened it to wipe his body clean.
Today he still followed Arno into the tavern, the smell of the storeroom was unpleasant, and Bran did not want to go in until it was time to sleep.
The tavern is the highest entertainment in town, and men like to come here for money and not.
Before entering, Bran found another open space and forced Arnold to practice swordsmanship, and taught him in the most violent way.
Iron training is enough.
When Arnold hurts, he will start parrying the weakest part and wait for an opportunity to fight back.
Arnold knew Bran's thoughts, coupled with the surprise attack a few days ago, and knew the danger of fighting, even if his hands and feet were weak, he still kept raising his sword to fight.
When Bran fell into the water, there was a gemstone necklace in the inner pocket of the costume on his body, which was originally intended to be given to the daughter of Vestal but was not given away for some reason, and after Bran woke up, he also touched this item.
With a great help, he took the gems apart and exchanged many supplies along the way.
This time, he changed his sword and helmet and gave it to Arnold.
It is always good to be in the same room as a companion, to be nice to the people around you, and at the same time, Bran also feels that Arnold has a good personality and a good heart, and when he finishes his work before, he will also help others.
When Bran saw Arnold's face, he remembered a loyal subordinate named Jack.
Plus kindness is one of the best qualities, so Bran is willing to lift Arnold's hand.
After the fight, Bran asked him to go to the tavern to relax and treat himself.
"Thank you, Abu, I won't let you down." Near Zhu Zhechi, Arnold learned to live up to this advanced word, as well as the exclusive French that many nobles would speak.
He thought to himself that perhaps Bran was the illegitimate son of some Frankish nobleman who was wandering for some reason.
Bran set a deadline for himself.
Eight days, within eight days, the prince did not appear, and he went away.
Bran didn't want to live this boring life anymore, and when he stayed in Rhodo's territory, Bran didn't sit idle, asking for directions and maps from the chef and the others.
You probably know what level, river, border you're going to encounter next.
I haven't remembered the memories of this prince for the past few days, maybe it's just that I met. Instead, it was Carol, Howard's name, and Bran kept remembering.
The tavern was not too clean, and the owner let in the hunters and hounds to make it more popular.
Of course, they have to sit in the far corner.
If the hunter had no way to educate his hounds and excrete everywhere, he would have to pay the equivalent of two heads.
The tavern girl has to be solicited by every guest, especially new faces.
Just as he was about to sit on Bran's lap, Bran glared fiercely and scared the wine girl away.
At this time, a peasant girl pushed open the wooden door and entered to buy some food.
It's the one I've met twice.
Recently, due to the war, the food on the farmland can be harvested as quickly as possible, and many people cannot buy more food even if they have money, so the tavern needs food to entertain customers, so it has become a place where food can be bought and sold.
The peasant girl wanted to bring some wine to her father, so she timidly entered this environment that she hated so much, full of rough men.
"New woman, shopkeeper, tell her to accompany us?"
A drinker shouted.
"Shut your foul mouth, this is a lord from somewhere else." The shopkeeper said.
"This woman's smell, get out quickly."
A guest scolded the peasant girl, whose head was lowered, and she quickly walked to the shopkeeper's table.
The shopkeeper glanced at the coins brought by the peasant girl, and pretended to be kind, saying, "It's not enough." ”
"Not enough? But yesterday I bought it with the money. ”
"Prices are skyrocketing, and now everything has two more copper plates every day that passes. Yesterday it was enough, now it is not enough, however, you can exchange something for something. ”
The shopkeeper looked at the peasant girl, and this peasant girl had a smell on her body, but the country woman in this era, who has no smell on her body, blows out the candles the same.
Under the loose burqa, the shopkeeper thought that the peasant girl was in good shape.
