Imperial Crown

"Hey, Lord Knight!" Gower smiled and punched Simon on the shoulder: "When you gain territory in the future, don't forget us old brothers!"

"No, no!" Simon waved his hands hurriedly, not knowing how to respond for a moment: "Brother Gore, please stop making fun of me."

There was a sour taste in Gower's tone: "Why are you just joking? You are wearing plate armor. If you say you are not a knight, who would believe it!"

Simon scratched his cheek shyly, but his hair was immediately caught in the gap in his gauntlet, and he grinned in pain: "Hey..."

"Hahaha, you kid, don't move!" When Gao Er saw this scene, his unhappiness dissipated a lot, and he stepped forward to help him untie the hair that was tangled between his fingernails.

He is so envious!

It was obviously him who served in the castle first, but it turned out that Simon was the first to put on plate armor.

The armor surface is as smooth as a mirror, including shoulder armor, gauntlets, crotch armor, leg armor and combat boots. After putting down the armor, only a little gap is exposed on the helmet for observing the outside world. With no weak points of protection, if you wear such a suit on the battlefield, your chance of survival will be at least three to four times that of others!

However, no matter how envious or even a little jealous he was, he was not too surprised that Simon received such an honor.

This kid's progress is really fast.

Although he was born a serf who didn't even know the alphabet, his speed in accepting and understanding new things was still higher than that of him and Link. His previous performance against the bandits was even more impressive.

With his feet nailed to the ground, he didn't waver even if the enemy rushed closer. If he hadn't been nailed in front like a nail, the formation might have been in chaos.

However, Lord Raven is very generous. Today, Simon can equip himself with plate armor, but I, Goyle, will not have a chance in the future!

"What are you two doing here? I'm almost dizzy from work!" Link walked over wearing a suit of chain armor, holding a big box in his hand: "Quick, help me, carry it!"

Simon hurried over and held the box in his arms: "It's so heavy, what is this?"

Link opened the box without saying a word. Under the sunlight, it reflected a bright white light.

silver! A box full of silver coins!

"Wow -" Gore's eyes widened, he stretched out his hand to touch the silver coins, and exclaimed: "Are you looting my lord's treasure house and are you planning to make us run away together?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Link couldn't laugh or cry, and knocked off his hand: "This is a bonus for us, as well as a pension for the dead brothers."

"Five silver coins for each living person, twenty silver coins for the disabled, and fifty silver coins for each dead person!"

"Then this is mine." He reached out and took out five silver coins and held them in his hand. Gower admired: "Lord Raven is really generous. I have been a soldier for so many years, and this is the first time I heard that after winning a battle, it is still mine." I’m going to give you money, don’t you think so, Simon!”

He looked at Simon with a smile, but found that the man's eyes had become red at some point, his lips were pouting, and tears were falling down.

he cried.

At this moment he thought of his dead grandfather.

If Lord Raven had inherited the territory earlier and he could have obtained these five silver coins earlier, then he would not have had to starve to death just to save a few mouthfuls of food!

In fact, when the rogue bandits came to fight before, he was full of fear and nervousness, and he was even thinking wildly.

If you die and there are three women left at home, how will you live?

But now, all he has in his heart is deep guilt and gratitude.

Soldiers who died in battle could each receive fifty silver coins.

Fifty!

Even if the man dies, he can still use the money as capital to raise chickens and sheep.

Fifteen silver coins for a ewe and one silver coin for a hen. When the time comes, you can raise two sheep and a few more hens.

Six copper coins for one kilogram of goat's milk and two copper coins for one egg. The black bread and couscous in exchange are enough for a family of three to live well!

How dare you doubt Lord Raven, I am so damned!

"Lord Raven must be an angel, he is so kind!" Simon sniffed: "Then I will go and give them the silver coins. I know where all the dead people are!"

"We all know that." Link smiled and patted his shoulder: "Wipe your tears. Since you are going to pay the pension on behalf of Lord Raven, you can't go there in disgrace!"

A few hours later.

Old Gordon knocked on Raven's door. The latter was looking at the magic core on the table in a daze. When he heard the sound, he said: "Please come in."

When the door was opened, Raven turned around and laughed out loud: "Mr. Gordon, why are you here to deliver food to me today?"

"It's not lunch, sir." Gordon took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his head: "This is a gift from the people."

"A gift for me?" Raven was surprised, took the basket and put it on the table. He opened the cover and was stunned.

It was a basket of four-leaf clovers, very watery.

Four-leaf clover is a variant of clover. Usually only one four-leaf clover can be found among hundreds of clovers. There are more than fifty four-leaf clovers in this basket, which is enough to show how much thought the person who collected it put into it.

This represents the heartfelt gratitude of the people of Eagle Town.

"One leaf brings honor

One leaf brings wealth

One leaf brings love

One leaf brings health. "

Old Gordon sang in an elegant tone: "Baron, I thought you were too wasteful before, spending meaningless money on the lowly people. Now it seems that your wisdom and foresight far exceed my old bones."

"With only a few hundred silver coins, your achievements have surpassed all the ancestors of the Eagle Territory. Before you, no one has ever been so supported by the people from the bottom of their hearts."

Raven's mouth curled up a smile. He did expect that he could gain a wave of goodwill, but he didn't expect it to have such a good effect.

The majesty from the lord can force people to die, while gratitude from the heart can make people willingly sacrifice their lives.

The same death may bring completely different effects.

The former is forced to die, while the latter will bite a piece of meat from the enemy even at the last moment of life.

Old Gordon left with admiration, and Raven turned his attention back to the magic core in front of him.

There were three red date-sized, black crystal-like diamond-shaped objects, taken from the back of the blood-eyed warhorse's head, and they were also the source of their extraordinary power.

Raven opened the Eye of Truth, and in this vision, he could clearly see a dark red light lingering in the magic core.

Holding the magic core in his hand, a tingling, electric-like feeling came from it. No matter how Raven turned his wrist, the dark red light was like a small insect, always sticking to his palm.

"Is this the extraordinary power..." Raven muttered to himself: "If I eat it, can I also become a first-level extraordinary?"

This was of course a joke.

The market price of a first-level magic core is only one gold coin, but a bottle of first-level God-given potion costs as much as three hundred gold coins.

If eating two magic cores can make you extraordinary, how can you sell the potion?

Throwing the magic core on the table, Raven held a belt in his hand, with an expectant light in his eyes.

This belt is the most valuable trophy from this annihilation of the bandits!
