Proof of the Sun King

Chapter 299: , the trade route problem

If there was a serf's favorite job, it was apprenticeship to dwarves.

The salary and treatment of being an apprentice to a dwarf are actually not much different from other jobs. However, being an apprentice to a dwarf means endless possibilities. The lord needs this kind of talent who can work, especially the apprentice of dwarves. A recognized apprentice in a stern dwarf is almost destined for a good future.

This is also one of the very few paths to promotion other than being promoted to sergeant.

So, when the dwarf runesmith Deron Feinson said he needed three apprentices, almost all the serfs responded, and they all wanted to be apprentices.

"I don't want so many people. Those under the age of 20, some have worked for the lord, and some have worked for the blacksmiths and carpenters in the village." Turning into a satin dress, he said impatiently: "Don't come for anything else, and if I know who of you has deceived me, just wait, my beard witnesses everything!"

This sentence scared off most of the fugitive slaves. Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and most of them chose to take a step back.

The fugitive slaves finally got here, but they don't want to be driven out again because of deception. Dwarves are not easy to be deceived. These stubborn guys can roughly know how old they are just by touching the bones of human wrists.

Raymond's eyes lit up in the crowd. He is only seventeen years old this year. He has served the knight master and worked as a helper for the carpenter in the village. He knows some carpentry work.

So he stretched out his hand: "Me! Mr. Dwarf, I am seventeen years old this year. Since I was fifteen years old, I have worked for the knight master, and I have also worked for the carpenter in the village!"

Dwarves are excellent craftsmen. Whether they are blacksmiths, masons or carpenters, their ingenious craftsmanship is the envy of mankind. Deron Feinson obviously heard Raymond's words, and he said in a low Gothic language that is not very skilled: "Why are you so loud? I hear you."

Raymond came to the dwarf in the envious eyes of the fugitive slaves, and the dwarf first stretched out his hand and pinched it **** Raymond's wrist.

The dwarf's hand was so strong that Raymond felt a little pain.

"Well, it seems that you didn't lie to me, it is indeed a seventeen or eighteen-year-old bone." Deron Fienson nodded, he thought about it, and asked first: "If I ask you to make a piece of eighteen centimeters long Plank, what are you going to do first?"

"First of all, I have to chop a piece of wood at least twenty centimeters long!" Raymond said without thinking, "Never be short!"

"How do you usually handle wood?"

"Use an axe for big wood and a saw for small wood!"

"What's the point of mortising wood?"

"This..." Raymond couldn't answer, his face flushed: "I don't know, Mr. Dwarf."

"The requirements for mortising are to be vertical and square. Only the inferior can make the best use of the limited wood." Deron Fienson nodded, and the dwarf frowned: "It seems that you haven't learned much from the carpenter. long time."

"I... I'm sorry, Mr. Dwarf." Raymond lowered his head.

"It's okay, I'm young, and I haven't been educated too much by those low-level humans, and I've turned into an idiot who can only produce defective products. Okay, my workshop needs such a person, and I'll talk about whether or not to accept apprentices, this I want someone." The Rune Artisan nodded and said, "Deni, what do you call this...?"

"My name is Raymond!" Raymond said quickly.

"The guy named Raymond has been arranged!" Deron pointed to Raymond's nose and continued.

"Yes!"

The prison is like a huge mouth, and it took these fugitive slaves to swallow them completely. It only took more than an hour for these fugitive slaves to find their own work.

Then, the family was placed in a camp. This camp was located in an open space outside the city. The food was temporarily rationed. When they started to work, the food supply here would be cut off.

There was still one day left before going to work, and the serfs could not start working until tomorrow, so many serfs lit a fire in the middle of the camp, burned hot water, ate the black bread provided by the earl, and began to chat about today's affairs.

Some local serf archers and infantrymen also joined in, and they were also more interested in hearing some outside news from the mouths of these northerners.

In this day and age, news is very closed, and this is one of the few ways to get information from the outside world.

From the chat of everyone, everyone learned that among the fugitive slaves in the north, there are more fugitive serfs in the Principality of Lyonnais, the Principality of Montfort, the Principality of Le-Angouran, and the Castle of Artois, and the Principality of Connet is the Holy Grail Knight. The territory of the Duke of Lawn, the Duke has been on the road of the Holy Grail for more than ten years, and he is well aware of the suffering of the people, so the life of the serfs is better.

This is the case with the Holy Grail Knights. They have been in the Holy Grail Expedition for a few years or decades. They are relatively clear about the suffering of the people. Among the virtues of knights is the virtue of being sympathetic to the people. Unfortunately, there are not many master knights who possess this virtue.

"Speaking of which, have you seen the wizard tower? It's a very tall, shining wizard tower." The fugitive slaves began to discuss the wizard tower near the earl's castle, which is Veronica's dawn wizard tower .

"Yeah, it looks really scary. Those scary witches are said to have to eat the hearts of a hundred babies raw every day in order to stay young!" Some serfs said with fear.

"Ha, blind, do you understand? The earl has already refuted the rumor here. Besides, let alone a hundred babies in the village you lived in, there are only a few hundred people in total? You have to eat a hundred people every day. I'm afraid that the village will be eaten so much that there are no mice left in just a week?" The local serf infantry complained, "There are so many witches in that wizard tower, are they going to eat up the whole city?"

"Hahahaha~" The fugitive slaves surrounding the fire all laughed. After they were resettled, a big stone fell in their hearts, and they were finally able to smile.

"No matter what, it's a very tall and big wizard tower!" Some serfs were still full of fear.

Everyone admits that the huge wizard tower gave the serfs a great sense of oppression and fear.

"Speaking of which, the lady's tower in the lake seems to be behind the wizard's tower!" A serf interjected and said, "I heard from the locals that the farmlands here are all high-quality fertile fields with high yields. Rely on the protection of the lady!"

"Praise lady~"

"Praise lady!!"

A group of people quickly and desperately praised the fairy in the lake.

"Our earl is very religious. He has one day a week to go to the lady's tower to pray!" At this time, a serf infantry suddenly said with admiration: "As expected of the god-chosen champion favored by the lady."

"No, isn't it forbidden for civilians to approach?" A fugitive slave said cautiously: "How do you know?"

"My uncle's neighbor next door has been on duty at the Earl's castle. He saw His Excellency the Earl coming out of the lady's tower late at night with a tired face. He must have accepted the lady's instruction. The Earl is really pious. !"

"Yeah, it's really pious!" Everyone sighed together again.

Raymond thought to himself that this kind of secret sounded like a fake. The knights would never let the serfs guard his manor and castle, but chose to trust his squires and guards.

"In order to sincerely pray for the blessing of the lady and make the land productive, the earl has worked hard, it's really amazing!" Another fugitive slave said.

"Yeah, it's really amazing!" Everyone sighed.

For this, Raymond still nodded suspiciously. It is almost impossible for the fairies in the lake to appear in front of the serfs, but Earl Lane is the champion of the fairies in the lake. His deeds are well known even in the countryside. Meng thinks this is still possible.

…………

At the same time, in the Earl's Castle, Ryan was standing in the hall of the inner castle, waiting for his fiancee to arrive.

"Ryan!" Suria led people into the hall. Today's female knight was obviously dressed up seriously. She was wearing a pink butterfly flower taro color double-breasted trench coat today, with a faint smile on her delicate face. She wore flesh-colored stockings and milky white high heels on her beautiful feet, pearl earrings swayed gently in the air, and a golden double-headed eagle engagement ring was worn on the ring finger of her left hand, indicating that she was engaged to someone.

Seeing Ryan waiting for her, the female knight blushed a little. Taking advantage of no outsiders in the hall, she slowly came to Ryan's side: "I'm here."

"Suria!" Ryan embraced the female knight in his arms and kissed her lightly. The count breathed in the fragrance of the irises in the female knight's long curly golden hair, and said with a smile, "I am relieved when you come here. There are many things I need your help with, my future wife!"

The dignified female knight was instantly flushed by Ryan's words.

The two were engaged, and it was normal for them to have a slightly closer relationship. Suria didn't say anything except her face was a little red. The fiancée walked towards the third floor together. Olika followed behind the two. She was well-behaved. called Mrs.

Since the female knight and Lane got engaged, she has penetrated the Lane's forces extremely fast. The two have not been engaged for a long time, and everyone in the entire earlland is already calling her a lady. Lane's knights and courtiers are very interested in Suria. Respect the exception.

This is the direct daughter of a great nobleman. Lane thought to himself that she had already taken care of all the leaders from top to bottom before she got married. Her gentle personality is one thing, and her superb political wisdom is obviously It is inherited from Francois.

Ryan took his fiancee's little hand, with a warm smile on his face: "What happened recently?"

"It's nothing special. It's been quiet in Wynford recently. The serfs are busy harvesting winter wheat, and the knights are busy practicing. By the way, Ryan, my father thinks your fixed tax is very constructive. He plans to talk to you. In the same way, when the tax system is reformed, the seventh tax will also be changed to a fixed tax." Su Liya said with a blushing face: "I need to send someone to guide you later."

"Okay." For some reason, every time Ryan saw the graceful and dignified appearance of the female knight, he couldn't help but want to kiss her.

Just do what she says, just when Sulia wanted to speak, Ryan kissed her lips again.

Seeing this, Suria closed her eyes, and she suddenly felt dizzy.

After two minutes passed, the female knight panted and sat side by side with Ryan on the sofa in the room. She reached out and patted Ryan with some resentment: "Ryan ~ you guy ~ I won't come back if you do this."

"Suria, I miss you." Ryan put his arms around the female knight's waist, smelling the fragrance in her hair, and said intoxicatedly, "I haven't seen you for several months."

"Lion... I miss you too." Suria was moved after hearing Ryan's words.

The two stayed for a while.

"Then the next thing is left to you, Suria, I will listen to the movement in the inner room." Ryan whispered.

"it is good!"

Half an hour later, in the conference room of the Earl's Castle, several big businessmen and butlers Katzenberg were already waiting. They were enjoying Imperial beer, Brittany red wine, and delicate snacks from wood elves. Waiting for the appearance of the Count.

The butler Katzenberg stood beside the empty main seat. He stood tall and thin, and temporarily entertained a few big businessmen. His wife just gave birth to a boy a few days ago. The butler has obtained the earl's permission. This child will grow up and study in the earl's court in the future. As a knight training, Katzenberg instantly feels that this life is full of hope.

The merchants present at the meeting included Oliver, Hadrian and others who had a good relationship with Ryan, the great merchant Ismail from Poldero, the great merchant Fernand from the north, and the great merchant Jacques from Winford. .

These merchants all have huge financial resources, and at the same time they have deep relationships with local nobles.

"Good afternoon everyone!" With the sound of high heels hitting the ground~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Surya, dressed in the dress of the Marquis of Brittany, appeared from the door, and her maid Silvia followed her. behind the Marquis.

"Good afternoon Madam!" Several big businessmen stood up subconsciously and bowed to Suria to say hello.

Poldero's big businessman Ismail secretly raised his head and glanced at Suria's noble figure, and muttered in his heart, it seemed that Ryan's fiancee came forward for this negotiation.

The nobles of the kingdom often talk a lot about this daughter of the Duke of Winford. As the jewel of Francois, she is perfect in appearance, temperament and strength. There were many nobles who wanted to be with Francois. Valerie married, but Francois did not agree.

It is said that this young lady wants to marry well, not only the object is required to be a Holy Grail Knight, but also young and with sufficient status.

In the end, she actually found it! Ismail slandered in his heart that the daughter of Duke Winford was lucky, and that it was a marriage contract given by the lady herself, and the great nobles of the kingdom could not object.

After sitting down, everyone first chatted and talked about some innocuous topics. Soon, Oliver relied on the best relationship with Ryan, and first said: "Madam, we have encountered some problems recently."

"Problem?" Suria was sitting on the main seat, with her hands and fingers interlocked on the table, her tone was gentle, her eyes were gentle but full of majesty, the female knight skillfully took care of everyone at the meeting , to ensure that no one feels neglected: "What's the problem, can you elaborate? Mr. Oliver?"

"It's like this, ma'am, recently... the northern sea route... is not very safe. Some merchant ships have lost contact, and they have not reached Marienburg."
