Chapter 0014: Frans

Followers usually had their own fiefdoms to eat, especially noble knights, most of whom would provide for themselves. The lord only needs to divide a few small estates for them, and let them manage the manor output by themselves, which saves worry and effort.

But it is also a matter of course for followers to come to the lord's house to fight the autumn breeze.

Márquez was not a noble knight, but as a powerful windtalker and chief of guard to Baron Aurenor, he also had a small estate of his own. However, he has two sons, both of whom are studying knightly courses, and their daily expenses are huge. So I rushed over so early in the morning, obviously wanting to fight the autumn wind.

After a hearty and delicious breakfast, it's almost time to go.

At this time, Lady Helena hurried downstairs, and she prepared a set of fine knight's armor for Aldington: "Your father's old rune armor and monster skin lining, last night I gathered people overnight to change the size of the armor according to your figure, hurry up and put it on and try it on." ”

"Okay." Aldington's promise was simple, but she was moved in her heart that no matter what the world, a mother's love for her son remains the same.

Rune armor is a special magical material, created by rune craftsmen with great skill, these dense symbols on the armor will gather the free magic from the outside world, thus forming a powerful protective layer to reduce the damage of the armor from blows.

As for the Warcraft leather lining, it is an inner lining sewn from Warcraft skin.

"It fits perfectly, mother, and I feel a lot more confident in this armor."

"Be careful, Warcraft is different from what you're used to training for...... Mr. Marquez, Aldington's safety is up to you. ”

"Please rest assured, Madame, Marquez is willing to guarantee the safety of the young master with his life."

"I believe in your strength." Lady Helena smiled and looked at Aldington with reluctance and hope, "In Eagle Strike City, where I was born, only young eagles who have experienced wind and rain can transform into eagles fighting in the sky...... Go, Aldington, Mother is proud of you. ”

The mother's emotional parting words made Aldington's eyes slightly hot for a while.

But turning to look at the gate of the castle, a group of knights who had already assembled suddenly wanted to laugh. Without him, although today was the first time he went to the forest to hunt magical beasts, his entourage was not only Marquez, the wind whisperer, but also a team of hunting team members followed.

It is equivalent to a dozen warriors guarding him alone.

With such a luxurious lineup, there is almost no difference between hunting Warcraft and going on an outing.

"Hah!"

"Hah!"

Just as the ancients said "drive" when riding a horse, the knight of Plantagenet likes to shout "haya" when charging. Leaving Butterfly Castle, you enter the manor grounds on the outskirts of the castle, surrounded by long strips of cultivated farmland with verdant wheat seedlings. But only one out of every three plots of land was hit with wheat.

The remaining two plots were planted with pasture.

This is a typical three-garden rotation system in the Plantagenet Kingdom, and the cultivated land is divided into three types: spring ploughing, autumn ploughing and fallowing.

A piece of land is first used for spring ploughing, and after spring ploughing, grass is planted for most of the year to supplement fertility, and autumn ploughing will be carried out next year; After autumn ploughing, the fertility of the land is basically exhausted, so a year's pasture grass is planted to increase fertilizer at leisure. A year later, the fertility of the farmland was restored, and spring ploughing began again.

Reciprocating in sequence can fully ensure the fertility of farmland and ensure the normal growth of crops.

The serfs were already carrying farm tools, weeding and fertilizing the fields, and priests sent from the altar of the manor could be seen patrolling the fields.

They can always ask for a blessing to be offered to the Nymph at the altar to help the crops grow – the Nymphs' abilities, which are essentially equivalent to pesticides and fertilizers, not only provide the nutrients needed by the crops, but also ensure the health and development of the crops.

Wheat Nymph can make the ears of wheat larger and more numerous.

Sweet potato nymph can promote the development of the root system of wheat seedlings, so that they can take deeper roots.

Flower Nymphs can make the flowers more vivid and fragrant when the ears of wheat bloom.

Of course, usually sweet potato nymphs are arranged to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes, and flower nymphs are arranged to cultivate various flowers. They will not waste their precious ability on rooting and flowering wheat seedlings. Only the wheat grain nymphs, born in wheat fields, are the main force in cultivating wheat.

Glancing over the farmland, Aldington did not stop and continued to gallop forward with the procession.

Scattered around the manor, along the dirt road, you will soon see a sizable market, which is one of the three markets in Momiji Town. Serfs and freedmen from nearby estates and villages would trade here or go to the manor altar to pray.

You can also see high-spirited knights, walking through the bazaar with their retinues.

When the swallowtail banner belonging to Aldington waved in the wind as the procession passed by the South Market, all the knights, servants, freemen, and serfs measured their bodies and bowed to the procession. Only when the procession roared past did someone whisper.

"It's a swallowtail flag!"

"I know the knight who took the head, it is Mr. Marquez, the chief of the baron's bodyguard, and when I went to the Butterfly Castle to do a weekly job, Mr. Márquez greeted me."

"The one in the middle, is it Young Master Aldington?"

"The swallowtail banner that can be surrounded by Mr. Márquez must be the only young master Aldington, who has become a probationary knight!"

"With the blessing of the three gods, Master Aldington will definitely become a powerful knight."

"Young Master Aldington has been promoted, this is a great event, I hope that this week's lunch will be able to drink the wine collected by Lord Baron."

"My Daisy works in the kitchen of the castle, and she cooks three meals for the nobles!"

The knight on horseback also saw Aldington and his party, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "It's Aldington, Dovetail Flag, he has cultivated his fighting spirit, well, accompanied by Marquez's Captain of the Guard, this is to ...... Hunting monsters in the forest? I should visit the Butterfly Fort in the evening. ”

The impact of Aldington's party soon subsided, but it was destined to become a topic of gossip among the nearby villagers for days - in the territory of Red Leaf Town, the members of the Iris family were always the focus of conversation among the villagers after dinner.

Passing by the South Bazaar.

Continue along the gallop road, and after an hour, finally come to the edge of the forest, where you can see a small domed fortress.

There are many wooden houses scattered around the fort.

This is also a village, but it is located on the edge of the territory, so there is a fortress of the beast. As soon as the party entered the small village, they were greeted by someone from the fortress.

"Marquez, today is not the hunting time of the hunting team, you are ......" led by a bearded middle-aged man, halfway through his words, he saw the fluttering swallowtail flag, and Aldington, who had just turned over and dismounted, "Aldington with a swallowtail flag, wow, the boy has finally grown into an adult!" ”

"Uncle Frans." Aldington stepped forward and hugged the bearded middle-aged man, "Long time no see." ”

"Haha, you have grown taller and more handsome, you can imagine that the girls of the Gray Iron Castle will definitely fall for you!" Frans patted Aldington the shoulder.

He was the first chief of the guard of Baron Aurenor, and was knighted every year, and rose from commoner to nobleman, and his fief was the manor to which the fortress belonged.
