024. Sword of Venice

At night, there is not a starry sky.

But Bran felt that the day was brighter than ever, even lovely.

The taste of Rabi Village is warm and even powerful.

Bran enjoys the warm water in the open-air bath.

Dursley was also by his side, and the two of them were soaking in the open-air bath.

This was built in the village of Rabbi in imitation of the previous life.

The well is connected, and the foundation below is raised, and wood fuel is placed, so that the water can be warmed when you want to use it.

Wine and food were placed on the side.

This was prepared by the village chief, Ramon.

There is also "wood frankincense".

Bran had been in the village for a long time, and now he was biting and thinking back to what he had just read about the mercenary group's logs and the rabbi village's logs.

"Excellent" is Bran's idea after reading the account book, Raymond's son Hilde, since he helped manage the two villages, all the expenditure details, all the details, are all written down.

There is no point to pick and shave.

But it is precisely this that makes it even more unreasonable.

For example, a journal six days ago reads, "On February 7, 1318, four mercenaries replaced horseshoes, and a total of two silver rubles and seven ducats were consumed, and the shoes exchanged by the blacksmith were one and a half silver rubles, and the blacksmith's shop was net for ......."

After experiencing betrayal, Brando is suspicious, he values loyalty more, in the position of steward, as long as the ability of the butler is developed, in the position of knight, you must be able to hold a sword, it does not matter whether you can manage money or not.

And Hilde appeared in the mercenary group's log, the two village logs, and even the property in Rome helped Simon take care of it, as well as the mercenary group's financial salary, Simon was also handed over to Hilde to deal with.

Whoever gives the mercenary money, the mercenary listens to whomever he wants, which has already offended Bran's heart.

There are still a number of letters to and from the manor, and there are still many letters in the village of Rabi, which Bran has just read, and ninety percent of them are written by Hilde.

Bran had just turned eighteen, and this short man, who had been with him for a few years and was half a year younger than himself, had grown to such an extent!

Smart and close-up, I just don't know if this so-called enterprising will turn into ambition? Bran made a comment in his heart.

Bran suddenly slapped the water with his hand, causing the water to squirt.

"Your Highness?" Desley saw Bran's strange look and asked what was going on.

"Dursley, you also heard just now, now Carol is seriously injured and doesn't come to the mercenary group often, from now on, the mercenary group will be restructured, and you will be the leader."

"This!"

"Don't refuse, I'm just the time to hire people, don't worry, I will give you a break to recuperate, so that you can hug your fat boy. As Raymond said just now, Marlene took good care of your wife, not only baptized her, but also your son, and gave your wives land and real estate, without letting them suffer a little.

"All this is the kindness of the two highnesses." Dursley bowed his head to Bran in thanks.

People are changeable, and now although he still wants revenge, he is also obsessed with a comfortable life.

"The people I brought, you put them into the mercenary group, in addition, you have to use the fastest time to divide the class order up and down the group for me, the one called Yiqisu, born as a horse thief, has some connections, can speak a few Chinese, and the size is also a noble, give him a position, a sword-making Uller, good skills, let him take Jack's position in the future, but under you."

The Frank named Arnold, with a loyal personality, continues to cultivate this quality, and there is a woman named Agatha, who is also considered a nobleman, she goes back to the territory and lets Marlene distribute it. “

In addition, if there are only four people in the future, they will be able to pass through the mercenary group, me and grandfather, you and Carol. “

"Yes, Your Highness."

As the two were talking, Raymond walked in, accompanied by two women who resembled dancing girls.

They are not very old, but they are all white and pure.

Bran and Desley are not good at this, but the subordinates' intentions will not directly slap the face, Bran said, "You can keep it, Raymond." “

After another soak, Bran dressed up and walked out of the bath.

The servants who were waiting outside came forward to help change into clean silk clothes.

It was he who had left it in the village, or whether Marlene had sewn it for herself.

Putting on his clothes, Bran thought of the nurse who raised him, and even his husband Carol.

Just now Raymond said that Carol's whole face was ruined, and the first thing he did when he returned to the manor was to ask who did it.

Anyone who violates the Chaman family will have to pay the price of a comeback.

This time he escaped death, and he abandoned some of his stoic past style and turned to be more radical.

When Bran arrived at the village banquet hall.

The crowd stood up to greet them.

At the same time, those who slept with Bran let out a cry of admiration.

Well-dressed and shaved Bran, Jane is as handsome as a statue of a figure.

The facial features are deep, the figure is tall and straight, and the heroic spirit is compelling.

Those purple eyes are as charming as the stars in their eyes.

"Sit down." Bran sat down and waved.

Then the servant presented chopsticks, knives and forks, and silver plates.

Looking at the chopsticks, Bran hadn't used this cutlery he had invented for eating noodles for a long time.

The chef slaughtered a pig and then came to Bran to roast and cut it.

And there was a waiter standing next to him, who specialized in testing poison.

Ichisu and the others had seen nobles, but they had never seen Bran like this.

It's too luxurious.

And for Bran, now that he is back as a lord, the lord has to be like a lord.

The seven-star sword had been polished by him and put away, and his hands were now holding a pen and paper, with a treasure ring on it.

After a few bites, Bran commanded, "Divide it up, taste it all, and use more spices."

Pepper, cloves, cinnamon, saffron, tamarind, ginger, cardamom..... These foreign spices were presented to Ichisu and others.

Steaks, roast lamb, seafood, bread.

The chef and the servant kept serving the food, and they lost their temper when it was delicious.

Oriental spices they simply can't control.

Bran now sells his paper to the East, sometimes in exchange for spices.

So there's quite a bit of this stuff.

Arnold was eating and crying, and when Bran asked him why, he replied, "I think of Frank's dead relatives, if only I could eat such good food." “

Bran said, "Then you can do a good job for me from now on, and eat their share together." “

While everyone was eating, Raymond also brought in the band to pat Bran's ass.

Rabi Village has been making a lot of money lately, because Hilde is bold enough to let the mercenary group join the smuggling!

The two sides took profits, and while sending supplies for Ashklai's army, they poured goods into Tunisia.

This is life-saving money, and if it happens, it will immediately suffer a catastrophe.

But now that Hilde is still in Rome, there is no need to challenge him, and when he returns to the manor, he will ask his grandfather about everything that happened during this time, so that it is safer.

The musician holds the lute and plays the family song "The Sword of Venice".

Eight years ago, before Bran went to the monastery, the manor played it that day.

Bran drank some wine, his eyes turned red, and he took out a few rubles and presented them to the musician.

"Sing it to me until you run out of energy."

“...... No matter the changing seasons, the storms and rains, and the fearless, we protect the people, and justice will always remain in Chaman's heart. ”

That night, Bran was rarely drunk.
