Chapter 23 Windfall
When Arod raised his head, he saw that the nobleman who was with General Relf was Sir Eble whom he saved that day. The sir seemed to realize that Arod had blinked at him, saying that he had discovered that Arod had recognized him, but how could this sir be with General Relf? The noble uniforms he wore were embroidered with the seals of Duke Mason's family.
"What's going on here? Do you know that the Duke has issued an order to prohibit private fights?" Sir Elb said majestic to the three wild boar brothers in front of him. The soldiers around him immediately pointed the spears in their hands at the three brothers.
"Sorry, we just came to take Baron Defoni with the orders of Count Lauzits." Grover said respectfully to Sir Eble who was riding on the horse.
"This is really a shameless act. They actually wanted to exchange the baron for twelve silver coins, which was lower than the price that Judas betrayed Jesus." Arod took a step forward. Since the person standing in front of him was Sir Eble, he could see that the Lord was disgusted with Earl Lauzits, so he boldly refuted the other party's nonsense.
"Woo woo." What surprised Aroud was that Baron Difoni was sobbing in dissatisfaction. If he hadn't been afraid of Aroud's old fist, he would have raised the most serious protest. His relatives of Duke Saxony and a nobleman with the title of baron were only worth twelve silver coins. Who did these country bumpkins regard themselves as?
"Is this true?" Sir Eble looked down at Grover and said in a calm tone. But in fact, looking at this guy who was like a pig's head, the Sir couldn't help but feel disgust and disgust in his heart. Earl Lauziz took in some evil men.
"It's like this~~~~." Grover felt a little aggrieved. This was the money given by Earl Lauzits. He had no idea in advance. If he took the baron away quietly, no one would say anything about it, but it would be unreasonable to be caught and let go.
"Enough, this must be because you have greedy for my uncle's money. What a hateful guy. Leave here immediately and don't smear my uncle's face anymore." Although Sir Eble hated his greedy and stingy uncle, as a member of the family, he had to maintain his authority, so he could only let the three Earls of Lauzits take the blame.
"Did you hear it? Leave immediately." General Relf raised the reins of the horse and stepped forward to threaten the three wild boar brothers. The soldiers led by him immediately took an attacking gesture, and the sound of Peng Peng made by the collision of shields and spears sounded.
"Yes, sir." Grover had to leave with his younger brothers. He did not have the courage and strength to fight against the first heir of the Duke Mason. You must know that his master, Earl Lauzits, must also show respect in front of this handsome Eble.
The three wild boar brothers led the knights of the inner palace of Count Lauziz to leave in shame. Arod and others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. These three monsters were really chilling. Pazzi, who was full of strange power, Ogden with strange swordsmanship, and Grover who did not take action. The men of the Wendel family decided that they would definitely be able to deal with these three guys in the future.
"Sir Wendell, please forgive me for taking the liberty to disturb me." Sir Eble got off his horse, and a close servant quickly stepped forward and knelt on one knee, and caught his feet with both hands so that the Jazz would not be able to step on the air.
"Where is your coming, our honor, please come to our simple tent." Sir Wendell knew at this time that the person in front of him was the eldest son of the noble Duke Mason, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would be the future Duke Mason, so he was respectful and in line with the etiquette of the knight.
"Haha, of course." Sir Eble walked into Sir Wendell's tent generously. Sir Wendell's tent was indeed very simple. The family's finances did not allow him to use too luxurious tents. The color of the curtain was very plain and inconspicuous. It was not as bright and bright as other noble tents next to him. However, Sir Eble didn't care that this made Arod and others like this noble guest.
"Sir, please accept our thanks." Sir Wendell first thanked Sir Eble for his rescue. In his opinion, it was God's grace to be able to get the help of the duke's heir.
"Where, I came here for Baron Difoni this time. I hope you can hand the Baron over to me." Sir Eble came with the same purpose as Earl Lauziz, but it was purely accidental to meet Arod, who saved him last time, so he opened the skylight and said openly and honestly.
"Well, of course, you helped us, and giving up the Baron unconditionally was the only way for us to repay you. But to be honest, you also saw that my territory was not abundant, so you also hoped to exchange the Baron for some ransom to pay the debt. But if it were you~~." Sir Wendell explained to Ebel with some embarrassment, but after saying that, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "If you pay me one hundred silver coins, I will give the Baron to the noble Lord."
"Father." Aruod and Iv spoke at the same time. One hundred silver coins were just the price of a low-level attendant knight. If Ebul agreed to them, wouldn't it be in vain to capture the baron?
"Oh?" Sir Eble was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Sir Wendell to give up the baron at such a low price. He looked at the expressions of Arod and others, looked at the simple tent again, and thought in his heart that it seemed that this sir's life was indeed difficult.
"Oh." Sir Wendell stood there embarrassedly. He understood the hard work of his sons, but repaying the person who saved him was the minimum principle of the Knight.
"Haha, Lord Wendell, I really can't accept your price." Sir Eble smiled and waved his arm. The golden cross on his neck shone brightly under the torch, and his face seemed to be like a bright moon under the flames.
"But, but this is the lowest price I can afford." Sir Wendell frowned, and a slightly dissatisfied expression appeared on his face.
"Well, I will exchange it for 1,500 silver coins, and the Hermann family can still pay for it." Sir Hermann von Eble said with the pride of the great nobles. As one of the seven electoral emperors of the Holy Roman Empire, the Hermann family owns a large amount of land and cities, which brings endless wealth and strength to the Hermann family, and they are qualified to speak with this arrogance.
"One, one thousand five hundred silver coins?" Sir Wendell felt his head buzzing, and he looked at the energetic young and noble Sir Eble in front of him in disbelief.
"That's right, yes, Sir Eble will give us 1,500 silver coins." Aruod also said excitedly. In order to go to the battle to borrow 300 silver coins, they spent up to 500 silver coins. However, Sir Eble will take 1,500 silver coins at one time. This is really a tyrant's behavior.
"One thousand five hundred silver coins." Yifu muttered to himself as if he was muttering in his dreams, looking shocked. He thought it would be great to exchange Baron Difoni for five hundred silver coins, but he didn't expect Sir Eble to be so generous and his friends were stunned.
"Yes, a thousand silver coins are the ransom of Baron Difoni, and of course five hundred silver coins are the bounty for your son to save me. The people of the Herman family will repay you with kindness." Sir Eble said to Sir Wendell with a smile.
"My son?" Sir Wendell looked at Sir Eble in confusion. He did not know that Arod saved Sir Eble.
"This is my honor." Arod hurriedly stepped forward and paid tribute to Sir Eble.
"Well, then this matter has been resolved successfully, and I still have silver coins and I will send them to my servants later." Sir Eble clapped his hands and said happily to the people of the Wendell family.
"Oh? Didn't your little servant come today?" Arod asked Sir Eble curiously. The little servant who cried when Sir Eble was in shock impressed him, so he asked casually.
"Oh, oh, you said him, haha, no, no." Sir Eble was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses, with a strange smile on his face, and he replied with a smile.
When the two Sir Eble's servants carried the boxes containing silver coins and opened them, the men of the Wendell family were shocked. They had never had so many silver coins in their lives. The unique luster of silver emitted a light that could seduce all desires, almost stinging their eyes. The crisp sound of the silver coins was so pleasant. Sir Wendell's eyes were wet. How many problems did this money solve? This may be the greatest wealth of his participation in the battle.
"We have to plan the money well." Sir Wendell finally closed the box, and he looked at his two sons and said.
"Yes, we should buy some good weapons for our people, as well as armor, otherwise we will be the poorest lancer team on the battlefield." Ifu shouted excitedly, and the air waves in his mouth almost overturned the roof of the tent.
"No, I suggest we buy more supplies and goods so that we can sell them in other towns and villages, so that we will never be able to use up our money." Aruod narrowed his eyes, rubbed his hands and said excitedly.
"We are warriors and not merchants. Who can calculate the prices of those goods? Are you?" Yifu said to Aruod in dissatisfaction.
