Black Iron Crown

Looking at the blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, Lumbare looked at the brown bear who was staggering and staggering, but was still approaching him. He couldn't help but push Aisha further away.

"It's not over yet, don't get close to me until I cut off its head!" Lumbare didn't look at Aisha, his eyes were fixed on the beast, exuding a fierce look.

Aisha, who was pushed away, froze for a moment, but she was not angry. She nodded silently and then walked away from Lumbare.

In this way, people who can protect themselves from wind and rain are exactly what they need.

Lumbare licked his lips with the long sword in his hand. He was still a little nervous, but not as scared as he was when he faced the brown bear in its heyday just now.

The brown bear's footsteps gradually became heavier, and the hounds biting on its limbs tried their best to stop it from moving forward, but even the best hounds couldn't do this due to the difference in size.

Just as Lumbare nervously pointed his long sword at the brown bear, the huge animal finally fell to the ground and remained motionless.

"Please wait a moment, my lord!" These subordinates glanced at Lumbare who wanted to approach, and immediately stopped them, but the three of them came to the brown bear's body together to investigate.

Seeing that there were no accidents when the three of them got so close, Lumbare walked over with a smile and said, "Hahaha, this is my prey. Who else in the whole north can hunt such prey like me?" ?”

He was right. Although the fur industry in the northern border is well-developed, the fur of brown bears is always the best among them. Only two or three hundred furs are produced every year. All of them are trapped by excellent hunters. Usually these brown bears are killed by being pierced by spears in the trap.

In order to ensure the integrity of the fur, spears or wooden thorns are often not long enough to destroy its internal organs but not damage the outer fur. The price of a intact bear skin can reach three or four gold coins, while Bear skins with particularly good quality can even be sold for ten gold coins, which is equivalent to the price of two full-body armors!

This is not what Lumbare values. When it comes to money, he has no shortage.

As Reiner's uncle, Earl Codd not only has a large territory, but all the businesses that Reiner does are mixed with sugar, and their family's annual income will never be less than 3,000 gold coins.

You know, even Earl Zhebo, who commanded four-fifths of the Northern Territory, earned about this amount every year. Even when Leiner just became the Grand Duke of the Northern Territory, his income was less than three thousand gold coins.

From this we can see how well-off the financial situation of the vassals under Reiner's command is.

As the first legal heir of Earl Cod, Lumbare naturally didn't value the small money of bear skin.

What he values ​​is the reputation it brings him, and that's where the real value of the bear lies.

Although hunting bears for Aisha is not just talking, at least he is not really stupid enough to find bears to hunt specifically.

You must know that although two or three hundred bear skins are produced in the northern border every year, it is only through tricks and traps that brown bears can be successfully killed.

But this brown bear was killed by Lumbare with his own strength, without using any traps at all, which is completely different from hunting bears with traps.

Let's put it this way, the last person to have the title of Bear Slayer was the one who followed the old emperor in the Southern and Northern Wars and became the first Grand Duke in the entire empire, and the only person who was canonized as a Grand Duke before Leiner.

He showed courage in his youth,

He even killed a brown bear alive, and now Lumbare has done the same thing. Doesn't that mean that he has the title of Grand Duke Raven?

Although there were some assistance from the hounds and subordinates, there was no doubt that the fatal injury was caused by Lumbare himself.

Lumbare looked at the beast that fell to the ground like a mountain of meat, and the expression on his face was unavoidably smug.

She waved to Aisha who was hiding behind, and shouted: "Look! I'm not kidding, I really hunted a bear for you!"

Aisha gave Lumbarre a helpless look, walked beside him and said, "You're lucky! Don't take such a risk next time!"

Before her words fell, she heard a whistling sound, and Lumbare's followers hurriedly shouted: "My lord, be careful!"

When Lumbare looked back, it was the beast that had fallen to the ground, which stood up, and rushed towards Lumbare with his legs upright.

Lumbare had no time to react, so he could only put his left hand on his chest, then raised the long sword in his right hand and stabbed at the brown bear.

However, the battle between trapped beasts is often the scariest, and this beast has exerted all its strength without any reservations.

Under such inertia, Lumbare was thrown three or four meters away, and fell heavily to the ground.

"Ho..." A bellows-like voice sounded from Lumbare's mouth, and he felt that the air in his lungs was being squeezed out desperately.

At this time, his lower body was almost numb, but his hands felt greasy and slightly warm.

"Ah!!" Aisha didn't react at all. When she realized that her fiancé had been thrown down by the brown bear, she let out an unprecedented piercing scream, which caused the birds on the branches to fly into the air.

"What happened?"

"No! Someone is in danger!" The faces of the nobles who were not far away from here changed drastically after hearing the faint screams, and they led their followers towards the place where the screams came from. run wildly.

"Rumbare!"

"grown ups!"

Different from Aisha's bewildered screams, Lumbare's three followers rushed up upon seeing this.

At this time, Lumbare only felt weak all over, his lower body had no feeling at all, no blood was visible on his face, and he still felt dizzy even though he was breathing hard.

"My lord! It's great that you're fine!" Seeing that Lumbare was still conscious, the followers were overjoyed.

The earl's heir had an accident under their protection, and one can imagine what will happen to this group of people.

The subordinates could already imagine how furious the Earl and His Majesty the Grand Duke would be if something happened to their lord.

"I...I feel very bad now, you guys get me out!"

After saying these few words, Lumbare took another burst of shortness of breath. Now he felt very difficult to breathe, as if he was about to die.

The three followers immediately began to move the body of the giant beast with difficulty. However, the whole body of the brown bear was pressed on Lumbare's body instead of its limbs. The strength of the three of them was obviously insufficient.

Seeing Lumbare's embarrassed and weak appearance, Aisha rushed forward, gently stroked his face and said, "Persevere! Persevere, you will be fine!"

"What are you still looking at! Come and help!" Aisha yelled to the male followers behind her. Even if they had no combat effectiveness, they should have strength as men.
