"I want to stay, I want to be a member of the Knights Templar!" At this time, Pine suddenly spoke, but Carl and the others were not surprised.

"What? You're going to join in? My brother, what are you kidding? Karl shook his head like a rattle.

"If you pass, what about Barony Wilton and Blackbrath Village?" Baron Dias glared and said dissatisfiedly.

"I don't joke about my brother anymore, Lord Count Dortmund! You know, I'm not a person to sit idle, and things at home are too boring and boring, but the Knights Templar you're describing is something I want to be a part of, and I'm sure I can make the Knights Templar all over Europa! As for the Barony of Wilton and the village of Black Thorns, who decreed that members of the Order could not inherit these domains and wealth? Pyne said in a deep voice, he smelled the glory of the Knights Templar from Karl's description!

"This ......" Baron Dias was speechless, and had to turn his gaze to Karl.

"Pine, I don't think you should be involved in this kind of place......"

"Carl, don't worry, I won't steal your position, of course it would be better if you could give me the status of acting head of the group, I know you can't really have the extra time to manage the Knights." Before Carl could finish his sentence, Pyne interrupted him and changed the subject in a humorous way.

Carl sighed, Pyne said so, what else could he do? He knew that Pyne was serious, and he knew he wouldn't mention it.

However, if Pyne could join in, it might be a good idea for the Templars to have a loyal and trustworthy and valiant vigarine......

Carl was taken aback by his sudden thought, but it was hard to dispel it.

"I thought maybe I could let Pyne try." Surprisingly, Lady Aisha spoke, and she glanced at Pine with a complicated look in her eyes, and actually chose to agree.

"Aisha?"

"When my son grows up, he should be allowed to break through, and Carl has made great achievements by struggling alone?"

Mrs. Aisha watched Pyne grow up, this is her own flesh and blood, how could she not understand Pyne's thoughts, Pyne is unwilling to wait honestly to inherit the title and territory of Baron Dias, and then spend the rest of her life doing nothing, this mood has reached its peak especially after Carl's investiture ceremony.

Although Pyne has been holding back, Lady Aisha can feel it!

"Thank you, mother." Pine said seriously, which made Carl's jaw drop, this look was not at all like the usual Pine.

"Okay, okay, in that case, let's do it, brothers should really support each other, Pine is your brother who you can give his back to my child."

The last words were obviously addressed to Carl, who had previously said that he would make Carl Pyne's servant to protect his back, after all, in this era, brothers are definitely the most qualified partners.

"It seems that I haven't played a competitive tournament yet, and my Knights Templar have one more vicariner?" Karl shrugged, and the development was nothing short of dramatic.

"No, I'm going to participate in the tournament too! I will take the glory of a champion knight and become the acting head of the Templar Order! Pine said without hesitation that he wasn't one to go through the back door.

"Okay, my brother, I support your decision, then please stay, I will configure the weapons and equipment you need for you."

Pine nodded, this time he didn't refuse, Carl's equipment here was much better than his own.

A small episode made the tournament even more interesting, with knights from the Dierman realm gathering here in Dortmund and Berg getting busy.

The athletic tournament can make Dortmund a central area in a short period of time, bringing not only knights, but also everyone, especially this time after the knighthood ceremony of the Count of Dortmund, which brought together so many Dierman nobles at the same time.

Even if it is to save face for Carl, these people will not leave, but will watch the competitive tournament held by Carl, and also to secretly estimate the financial resources and strength of the new earl, so that it is convenient for the people on their side to evaluate it.

In short, a variety of situations have formed a situation where Dortmund is usually difficult to see, and now Berg wants to know what his Earl, who is like God's own son, is made of, and the first reaction of other nobles when they encounter such a situation is how to maintain the safety here, so as not to make a miasma because of the large number of people, but Carl is different, after knowing that such a situation will occur, not only is he not worried, but he is also extremely excited, An area was designated as a commercial area on the spot, and Thauberg was responsible for the renovation of this commercial area.

The business district is built between the inner and outer towns, and is also within the shelter of Dortmund Castle, and the space is vast, and it is divided into several different streets according to Karl.

"My lord, the food court is almost finished." A guy with a nod walked over, and Berg gave him a look of disgust, after all, he was really a little dirty.

The man didn't care about the visible disgust in Berg's eyes, but looked at Berg with a grin, the waist badge of the man in black was solemnly hung on his waist, and the symbol of a bloody dagger made people shudder.

This is a low-level member of the Men in Black, who lives on the wages of the Men in Black, and is not under Berg's jurisdiction in the first place, so naturally he doesn't care about his opinion.

There is no need to wonder why this man in black does not hide his identity at all, the organization of men in black is basically the original guild of villains, but it has been selected a little, there are many people, it is impossible for everyone to be an undercover agent, it is not interesting, so there are still a large number of low-level men in black who are sent to manage some things and institutions, playing roles like officials.

But not to mention, these people are quite easy to use, so don't look at Berg doesn't like these people, but he doesn't hesitate to arouse them, relying on the help of the men in black, the planning of the commercial streets is in good order, because they are well-manned!

"It's the best, but I hope you don't work in that food street, otherwise I'm afraid that the guests will be disgusted when they come." Berg pursed his lips.

"Ha, you can rest assured, the guests will not be disgusted by us, they will not even see us, the cooks in the food court are all invited by the earl, I heard what else...... I've been trained, I've tasted what they made, and God, it's definitely the best thing I've ever tasted! Thank you, Lord Earl. ”

Berg didn't have time to listen to his chatter, and he had heard so much praise about the Earl that his ears would be calloused.

Berg waved his hand and left without hesitation, he didn't bother to verify whether it was really done, he believed in the ability of the man in black, he also needed to go to the retail street to see, there was a place where those merchants gathered, those merchants who looked like vultures would smell the smell of meat and flock to it, especially after the Earl lowered the tariff by more than half, those merchants were more like crazy.

"I don't know what Lord Earl thinks, that's a lot of money!" Berg sighed, the tariff is definitely a lot of money, every nobleman is eager to peel those merchants who come and go like onions in this regard, those merchants have enough oil and water, but it is different when it comes to Karl, not only does not exploit those guys, but also gives them support, basically everything is willing to trade with those merchants, and encourages them to stay in Dortmund.

Berg suspected that if Dortmund was still in great need of furs to make leather armor and all kinds of warm clothing, the Count would not have dared to trade this with the merchants.

"Ha, isn't this the chancellor of the exchequer in Dortmund? It's an honor to meet you. ”

Berg had just walked to the retail street when a pot-bellied man who pretended to be a gentleman came trembling, his fat trembling with his pace.

The man took off his hat and bowed respectfully to Berg.

"Ou, you're the president of the Merchants' Guild, and you're actually here?" Berg recognized this pot-bellied fellow, this man used to be a big merchant in other territories, and after seeing Karl conquer Dortmund, he seemed to smell the smell of meat, and without hesitation, he migrated to Dortmund, and quickly became the president of the merchant guild in Dortmund with his huge financial resources and trade network.

"How could I not be here? You must know that almost half of the shops here belong to my merchants' guild, so how can I feel safe if I don't take a look here. The president laughed and patted the three layers of fat on his belly, and the trembling like waves quickly shook open.

Berg's eyes flashed with disgust, which was more disgust than the men in black, but he did a good job of hiding it.

"It's a pity that Lord Earl is not willing to do all the business for us, otherwise we will definitely make Lord Count earn more!" The president looked regretful, he had expected Carl to agree, but Carl's resolute attitude overwhelmed him.

Berg just looked at it coldly, the Earl said that if these merchants controlled an entire industry and formed a monopoly, then the matter would be a big deal.

"I'm sorry, I think I'm going to make a tour right now." Berg wasn't going to deal with this man.

"The Chancellor of the Exchequer is really busy, and since that's the case, then I won't bother and take my leave." The president shook his head and walked away briskly with his stomach held up, he had made a lot of money lately, which made his steps a lot lighter.
