The flotilla was a hundred when it left and returned with five hundred.

The inhabitants of Watertown and the Durellans, as well as the Bhumithes and the Southern Barbarians who had come to help defend the city, stood on the seashore and waited for the ship to approach.

People use large ropes to pull the boat to the shore, and when they can't pull it anymore, the people on board drive all kinds of people off the boat.

The slender men sat on the side and waited, and when everyone had come down, they continued to pull the boat.

Lawrence stood on the level ground a hundred meters from the water, surrounded by a convoy of Clauda.

Count Steel's men soon approached.

This time, the head of the earl's subordinates is Baron Rodney, and the most combative among them is Baron Duland.

Viscounts are usually civil officials, and counts are generally subordinate to barons.

Rodney walked over and placed his sword on the ground and smiled, "Thank you, Prophet, for your guidance, this time we have brought back a great deal of treasure. ”

Lawrence nodded, "I've heard Beoff and Fryce say that this time Durand first rushed into the wooden walls of those nobles, and entered the walls several meters high to kill all sides. ”

Durand heard Lawrence's praise and said happily: "These people are too weak, especially the nobleman we captured, who was so scared that he wet his pants!" Hahahaha! ”

Lawrence smiled: "They have been peaceful for a long time, and they have long forgotten the foundation of being a nobleman, and always think that fiddling with those valuable things is a manifestation of noble blood, and completely forget what the most powerful thing a nobleman should have." ”

"This time, although my people can bring back the treasure themselves, your heroic performance makes me feel that I made the right decision before."

"The darker the night, the brighter the stars, and the victorious you have brought back through waves and dangers, then our God will not allow you to return home disappointed."

"I will allow you to take one-third of the treasure this time."

Duland, who was mainly in charge of the battle, looked at Rodney at this time.

Baron Rodney quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Great Prophet, we are very grateful for your gift!" Allow us to follow you next year! ”

Durand also knelt down.

In the culture of the barbarians, this represents submission.

One-third is not a lot, it's too much.

Normally, eighty percent of the harvest brought back from going to sea should be given to the lord or king, and then the noble leaders should share one percent, and the rest should be given to the warriors who licked the blood from the knife edge.

For example, if you rob a box of treasure, of course, you will take it for the boss.

The minions below can get some wine and meat, which is a high welfare, and then at most some metals that are not easy to realize, as well as their own private treasures.

Lawrence gives so much!

Lawrence, of course, knew he was giving too much, but he had always been so generous.

"Beoff, Fryce, I'll allow you to pick the loot first."

Fryce quickly said, "Thank you, merciful prophet! ”

Beoff was young and vigorous, and said directly: "Prophet, I don't need a reward, I just hope that next time I will continue to bring back more treasures for you!" ”

Lawrence said, "Very well, child, God and I both understand your loyalty, but God will not let the effort go unrewarded, and everyone deserves his share." ”

"If God thinks you shouldn't take it, He will give you another reward, and although I didn't go with you this time, God didn't forget my efforts."

"So you, like me, we should all get our own pay, but remember not to be too greedy and take away the one that doesn't belong to you."

Beoff asked, "Prophet, I don't know how much I should take. ”

Lawrence said, "Then I'll assign it, let me see what I've learned." ”

Everyone relaxed.

Whether it's Fleiss or Durand and Rodney, they all have a lot of trust in Lawrence's assignment.

In this arrogant and unreasonable area, Lawrence, who can sit down and reason, is undoubtedly the fairest sage.

Strong, kind, generous, and willing to help others.

Where to find such a good prophet!

After Lawrence was willing to do justice, everyone took out the contents of their respective cabins.

The people of the City of Water quickly disembarked from the boat, and Lawrence saw that the men were standing in the distance and wanted to speak, but did not dare to approach his side.

"Welcome, newcomers." Lawrence repeated to these people in the language learned in advance and with the nuns, "Here you will have bread to eat, a warm house to live in, and your fellow citizens will tell you the details." ”

"Now, follow your fellow citizens, and divide them into families, with men and women living separately first."

"Someone will check your body, and if you have a disease, we will treat you."

The people of the City of Water quickly took these relatives and friends to dinner, and there were more than 300 of them, some of whom were forced, and some of whom took the initiative to come after listening to persuasion.

In addition to these people, there were more than fifty people from the aristocratic class, including noble knights, marquises, viscounts, lords and wives, as well as young ladies and some servants.

The Marquis of York in Harakon, the Kingdom of Hokuriku, was taken down by two barbarians and knelt on the beach in embarrassment.

Lawrence looked at the old marquis, the other party's spirit looked very bad, his black and white curly hair looked like it hadn't been washed for more than a month, and the aristocratic clothes on his body were well preserved.

Not only the marquis, but even the clothes of the few noble men and women who followed him around were not violently torn off.

"I am the prophet here, Lawrence Ravenfeather, the equivalent of your lord there."

Lawrence took the initiative to introduce himself, "I already know you from your people, Marquis of York. ”

The people of the City of Water quickly helped translate Lawrence's words to the Marquis of York.

The Marquis of York stood up straight and looked at Lawrence, and although he wanted to maintain his aristocratic demeanor, he still said weakly: "What are you going to do to me?" ”

With an interpreter, there is an opportunity for communication between the two parties.

Lawrence said, "I will not kill you, but please be quiet until your king pays the ransom and exchanges you back." ”

The Marquis of York quickly said, "I have a lot of money!" It's all in my territory, you can go and get it, and let me go! ”

Lawrence showed a thoughtful look, his original rigid thinking was thinking about exchanging people for ransom, so that such a nobleman could exchange for a shipload of goods, which was better than cattle and sheep.

But the words of this Marquess of York...... I have to say that it is very exciting.

However, the robbery can only last for a while, not for long.

Lawrence has always wanted to stop robbery with robbery, and he hopes to live in peace and turn robbery, which is extremely risky, into normal trade exchanges.

"In a little while, there will be a caravan from the West, and it shouldn't take long for it to arrive."

"During this time, we can discuss the ransom, and I will let you go back, and at the same time, I will sell you weapons and iron armor so that you can defend against the attacks of the rest of the barbarians."

The Marquess of York looked at Lawrence in astonishment.

Not only the Marquis de York, but also Fryce and Durand and others were puzzled and didn't understand why they did this.

Despite not understanding it, Lawrence is absolutely here!
