Chapter Twenty-Eight: Return to Black Thorn Village
"Aisha, my sister, can you bear to let your nephew go on a wandering alone?" At this time, at the home of Baron Dias in the village of Black Thorns, Sir Nord was talking with Lady Aisha, and next to him sat a taciturn young man.
The only person in Baron Dias's family who has some reputation is Lady Aisha's brother, Sir Nord, but unfortunately Sir Nord is also a down-and-out knight who doesn't even have a fief, but he gets some monetary rewards by serving a baron.
Sir Nord has a very good relationship with Baron Dias's family, even if he is just a down-and-out knight, he also generously lent a lot of money after receiving a request from Baron Dias to borrow money, which is why Carl had the original equipment.
"My brother, it's not that I don't want to help you, I like my nephew very much, it's just that I can't do this, I need to wait for my husband and son to come back and ask them." Lady Aisha shook her head.
The news that the Dias family was rewarded, Sir Dias became a baron, and Karl became a knight and obtained the manor and village as a fief spread quickly, after all, the battle between the two counts attracted the attention of many nobles, and after the title, the Dias family also stayed in Lensburg for a while, which was enough for Sir Norton to receive the news, and as for Mrs. Aisha, she had already learned everything from the messenger sent back by her husband.
As expected, the first moment she received the news, Lady Aisha was stunned, and even wondered if it was a prank.
But after repeated confirmation from the messenger attendant, she finally believed it, and it made her almost sleepless with excitement.
She didn't know what to do, but she knew one thing clearly, and that was that her husband had become a baron! No matter how barren and unbearable the Barony of Wilton is, it is better than Black Thorn Village, and obtaining the Barony of Wilton does not mean that they have to give up Black Thorn Village, and their lives will be much better in the future.
Coupled with the title of baron, she can also live a baroness's addiction.
As for his second son, that's not great, with a knighthood and a manor and a village, if you talk about the level of wealth alone, then Karl is very likely to ...... No, for sure, more than his father.
When Sir Nord got the news, he immediately thought of his younger son, who had no estate and no assets to inherit, and he had three sons, his eldest son would inherit his title and continue to be loyal to others in exchange for a place to stay, while his second son was arranged by him as his eldest son's attendant, and as for the third son, he had no choice.
He couldn't have made his third son an attendant, because his eldest son couldn't afford that kind of expense.
Therefore, he thought of asking for the help of Baron Dias's family, in his opinion, it was not difficult for the Baron Dias family, who were now prosperous, to arrange a good place for his three sons, and he was very sure that Baron Dias's family would agree.
"Okay, my sister, but will you let me stay here until they come back?" Seeing that Mrs. Aisha did not relent, Sir Nord did not force it, because he knew that Mrs. Aisha really could not be the master.
"Of course my brother, it's a joy for me to have you staying." Mrs. Aisha did not refuse at this point, and quickly arranged rooms for Sir Nord and his son Berg.
As for herself, she was a little worried, and didn't know how to tell Baron Dias about it.
……
"We're finally back." Looking at the Black Thorn Village in front of him, Baron Dias couldn't help but sigh.
"yes." Carl also nodded, and from leaving Blackthorn Village to returning, so much had happened in between, as if in a dream.
"I think Rensburg is fun." Pyne didn't sigh that much, just said.
After all, this is true, and the barren village of Black Thorns is naturally inferior to Rensberg in all respects.
The levies behind them were excited, they had finally returned home, knowing that they had barely scared them out on the battlefield.
There were no special incidents along the way, even when passing through Baron Sa's territory, it was smooth sailing, they were still nervous, for fear that Baron Sano would jump out to embarrass them again, but fortunately such a thing did not happen.
Maybe Baron Thor had already sent a message to the other party, or maybe Baron Samuel had received the relevant information, in short, he turned a deaf ear to Baron Dias and his party who passed through his territory, but his attendants guarding the bridge collected some bridge taxes as usual.
On the contrary, along the way, they were also entertained by some nobles, and when they passed through some noble territories, they could also go in and have a full meal, and it was clear that they had recognized the status of Baron Dias's family.
However, this is a minority after all, and more nobles don't take them seriously, after all, in the eyes of many people, Baron Dias's family is just an upstart.
At this time, Carl seemed to suddenly think of something, trotted to Kevin's side, and said: "Kevin, the war is over, and now I have returned to Black Thorn Village, then the agreement between you and me has been completed, I keep my promise, and you can leave freely." ”
Originally, according to the previous agreement, Kevin could have left as soon as the war ended, but it was just delayed again and again.
Carl originally thought that Kevin would leave directly, but he didn't expect the other party to shake his head, look at him sincerely, and said: "Lord Carl, your bravery has conquered me, and I admire your resourcefulness on the battlefield, I hope I can continue to serve you!" ”
Carl was stunned, he didn't expect the other party to think like this, he saw Kevin's eyes, it was a sincere look without any impurities, Carl could see that the other party was indeed not saying this with selfish intentions.
Inexplicably, Carl felt a wave of emotion, a kind of touching to be trusted by others.
"Kevin, come with me to my territory if you want!" The devil sent the gods, Karl said this.
Kevin's eyes showed joy, and he quickly said, "It's my honor." ”
"Very well, you will be my military governor! Maybe in the future my estate will be plundered by the Flo, and you will be able to deal with them for me. Carl said solemnly.
"Thank you, my lord, I will not disappoint you, I will be your sharpest sword, and let those who dare to attack flee!" Kevin couldn't help but burst into tears when he heard that Carl had directly appointed him as the military governor, the other party completely believed in his own ability.
In fact, Karl did trust the other party's ability, and along the way, he trained the ten levies of the Dias family to become real soldiers, at least not easily.
Levies are either armor or knights, and without that kind of military literacy, they can only be live targets, but Kevin made their recruits real soldiers! It's not an easy thing to do.
From these things, it can be seen that Kevin has a very good military literacy and is a very good talent.
And Carl is now leaving the Black Thorn Village to establish his own power, naturally he needs trustworthy and capable talents, after all, he can't do everything himself.
Alan counts as one, and now Kevin counts as one.
Baron Dias on the side just watched this scene quietly and didn't say anything, and he didn't feel like he was being poached, after all, Kevin was recruited into his team because he lost to Carl, and now Carl needs manpower, so Kevin should be loyal to Carl.
Even when he returned, he had to return all the armor and equipment he had borrowed from Carl, after all, Karl, whose territory was on the border, needed those things more than him.
"Please go and tell my mother, Lady Aisha, that we're back." Karl gestured to a scout on horseback.
Yes, thanks to the extra horses, Carl finally stopped playing the role of scout, and instead gave it to a farmer who had been trained to ride horses.
"Yes to my lordship." As soon as the levy clamped his legs, the horse led him swiftly in the direction of the village of Black Thorns.
It didn't take long for them to approach Baron Dias's mansion
From afar, I saw Mrs. Aisha, who had been waiting in front of the mansion...... and Sir Nord beside him, and Berg, as for his cousin Karl, looked curiously.
He was curious about this relative, like him, who was not the eldest son and had no assets to inherit, but who had won the reward on his own.
"Sir Nord, my dear, why is he here?" Baron Dias was startled when he saw Sir Nord's face clearly.
"Pine, Carr, look, that's your uncle, Sir Nord, who looks like his youngest son, Berg, remember?" Baron Dias said to his sons.
As for Sir Nord, the scattered memories that Karl inherited did have some impressions, while Berg's impression was much shallower, and if it were not for serious recollection, he would not even remember the man at all.
……
"Behold, the new coat of arms and banners...... That's supposed to be Karl's coat of arms and flag, oh God, he really has his own coat of arms. Sir Nord sighed at the sight of the two different flags of the procession in the distance, with similar but distinct patterns on them.
At this moment, he was completely sure of the authenticity of the message he received.
As for Berg's eyes, he stared at the flag behind Carl, his eyes showed yearning, he also hoped that he could have that day, but it was obviously difficult.
Mrs. Aisha was so excited that she fainted, and what could be happier than to see her husband's good child achieve even more?
"My husband, children, welcome back!"
