"Whew, it's finally here. “
Jonas sat down in his chair in his house in the middle of Eagle Castle, and breathed a sigh of relief, finally not having to hurry.
From Cangsong Town to Eagle Castle, it took a total of 3 days to reach the first destination of the trip, along the way, Jonas has seen enough villages, knights, especially those knights, many years of old fritter life make them talk like a lawyer, a word is listening to the opposite, they can't say anything, who calls themselves young and weak.
Now I finally don't have to face these guys, Jonas is still very happy about this, although he will have to face the gentlemen of Eagle Castle next, but after all, they are his own courtiers, they are people who are completely dependent on him, and their loyalty to me is of course much better than those vassals, so as long as they don't speak, they won't speak, just like just now Comrade Dikal, the mayor of the town, originally planned to let Jonas participate in a welcome banquet he prepared for this purpose, but Jonas refused.
Thinking that he would spend the next 3 days in Eagle Castle, Jonas felt that Doron's arrangement was really very satisfying, Jonas was already dying of happiness with his big bed alone, he didn't want to stay here for a morning and then hurry away, and then continue to sleep in the small hard stone beds and wood beds in those small manors.
Thinking of this, he silently drank the grape juice produced in his own estate, although it was not as luxurious as the chilled one, but the taste of the juice that was cooled in the well water was still quite good, at least it was much more comfortable than the farmers and uncles who had to go out to plow the land in the sun, and it was much more comfortable than the workers who were mining.
"Knock knock. “
Every time I think of this, Jonas has a sense of guilt in his body, all this he has obtained is not because of talent but because of blood, which really makes Jonas a little unaccustomed, and because I am someone's son, I don't kill people and do not break the law, this kind of thing is also a very difficult thing to understand in modern society.
Burdened with such guilt, let the servants around him pour another glass of grape juice for himself and drink it in a big gulp, although there is a sense of guilt, this life still has to go on, right?
He didn't want to work in the summer, he was still a child, he needed to take care of his body, and he couldn't let manual labor exhaust the capital of the revolution.
While Jonas was standing in his chair and talking without backache, singing the praises of the poor, Doron came in from outside the door, holding a tray with an unopened letter and a knife on it, and came smoothly to his master, and said, "Lord Jonas, this is a letter from your teacher Nader. “
"Fighting?" Tentatively glanced at Duolong, this guy's intelligence network is very powerful, although the high-level is not very smart, but for the collection of low-level intelligence, Duolong is very powerful, and his two hands reached out to the letter sent by Nader, Jonas did not open it first, but looked at the pattern printed on the fire paint on the envelope.
The long sword and a tulip, this is the family crest of the Ruger family, it seems that this letter was dictated by Jung, written by Nader, or written by Nader according to Jung's meaning, then the content of this letter is likely to reveal the doubts in his heart.
"Not yet, but it should be soon. "Although I am a well-informed person, it is still impossible to find out what those earls mean, but looking at the recent movements of those small nobles, this should already be in line, and it has reached this level, maybe when the war will break out.
When Jonas heard the news delivered by Dolon, he couldn't help but be a little worried, war doesn't matter what the bloodline is, even if he is a nobleman, he will be stabbed to death with one shot?
With such a slightly heavy heart, Jonas picked up the knife on the plate, swiped lightly at the fire paint, took out the letter in the envelope, and read it word by word.
Duolong looked at Jonas's worried expression, and couldn't help but persuade: "My lord, in fact, you don't have to worry so much, your father is a knight, his strength and the surrounding vassals can make him very safe, and even if your father loses the battle, the other party's greatest hope is to capture your father, not kill your father." “
Jonas, who was about to read the letter, was stunned to listen to the persuasion of Doron Butler, and couldn't react a little, there was still a saying that life was spared on this battlefield, and it wasn't until a while later that he turned his channel back to the Middle Ages, if the nobleman was killed by another nobleman, who knew what kind of relatives his family would have to seek revenge on him later? Thinking about this, Jonas was much more relaxed about the attitude towards the letter in front of him.
Dear Jonas,
Long time no see, or ask missing?
When you received this letter, we should have been on your way to the castle of the Earl of Il, and this letter was written on behalf of me when I met with Viscount Jung, and you know that your father's literary talents have always been much inferior to his martial arts, so I wrote this letter on my behalf.
I could not agree more with the two of them than I have heard from the news that Lady Sandra has received, but the reality is very disordered, far from being as simple as you have heard, and just before I left the Ruger Domain, there were three barons, one of whom had gone to Montferrato to pay his respects to the Count of Oduno, and you can surely see what they were thinking.
Along the way, I have seen many villagers flee to the surrounding territory against the will and orders of the lord, which is very rare, just like before the earthquake there are animals crying for it, and before the war, there are always people who abandon their homes and flee.
The situation is indeed not good, and I can already feel that the clouds of war are slowly gathering in the skies of Saluzzo and Monferrato, and that the victor will be born among the wise and the powerful, and the outcome is not yet known.
After thinking for a long time, we went directly to the era of real adventure and war, and the prestige accumulated by the thousand-year-old family could not suppress everyone, so that Lord Jung had enough right to speak, and the weakness of the power made the influence of the Ruger family not half of the usual, so we decided to issue a ****** before going to the territory of Il Alramich, and gather armed soldiers in three days to expand our strength and then go north.
This policy or conservative, but the left and right scheduling is more than enough, do not have to be subject to the control of others, even if you lose the merit of support, but you can also take the merits of the war without hindrance, although the strength of the strategy, but the sword goes to the front, I am afraid of losing, the loss of the family decay, the title changes hands, the cost is too huge, it is not easy to walk.
This letter is sent in duplicate to you and Mrs. Sandra, informing you of the situation, and that although there is a disaster, you are safe and do not worry.
Finally, congratulations, Viscount Jonas.
Wait until I come back to teach you a lesson.
Nader / Jung / and your two buddies
2023.08.10
Jonas read the whole letter and let out a long breath, today is August 13th, three days have passed, it can be said that this letter is delivered very quickly.
It is not difficult to see between the lines that although Saruzo's upper environment and living environment can be said to be quite bad, Father Nader is not too worried about the future of the Ruger family, but still calmly helps Jung analyze the situation, formulate strategies according to his own methods and reality, and do not panic, which makes Jonas who reads the letter also feel a sense of relief and no longer afraid of worry.
