Medieval Empire Soldier

   Chapter 60 Sixty Barni Lafite Beer (Subscribe)

  The quiet and peaceful Winter Veil Festival has passed not long ago, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is mid-February.

   Along the mountain road west of Oak Village, several knights were riding their horses, with dozens of sergeants trailing behind them, and they had just experienced a skirmish.

Four days ago, twenty or so unscrupulous robbers robbed a caravan of four or five vehicles full of building materials and ores in the deep forest near Oak Village. Then, the kingdom knights set off with their sergeants. .

   Coincidentally, the Oak Village army found the trail of the robbers in only half a day, an ambush without any suspense.

Most of the goods of the    caravan were intact, and the casualties of the Oak Village army were about zero. Only one person twisted his ankle because of nervousness. Several veterans who had fought with the Norsca Berserkers almost died of laughter.

   The tall knight riding a warhorse in the forefront was none other than Lallen, with more than twenty heads hanging from the carriage behind him, most of which were killed by him.

  The knight of the kingdom wears a dark silver dwarf masterwork plate armor with "Tough Rune" and "Iron Rune" engraved on the surface of the armor. It was forged for him by Langni Stonehelm, who had just been promoted to a dwarf rune blacksmith.

With the blessing of    Tenacity Rune, Seiko Plate Armor is not easy to damage, and even self-repairs to a certain extent, while Steel Rune needs to be actively triggered, and the effect is to increase the defense within the range.

The hero promotion point rewarded by the system is used on the original dwarf blacksmith, the latter's potential is increased from (6\\10) to (7\\10). Dwarven Runesmith.

  The effect of the Master Blacksmith feature has also been changed.

  [Rune Forge Master: +10% chance to create green rune equipment, +2% chance to create blue rune equipment, workshop efficiency +20%]

   The rune magic of dwarves is bitter and difficult to understand, and the rune magic mastered by each rune blacksmith is different.

At present, the only rune magic mastered by Langone is tenacity rune, steel rune, and hearth rune. With the increase of age, dwarf rune blacksmith can learn and master more rune magic, or obtain a master rune Inheritance of blacksmiths.

  The knights of the kingdom followed four ranger knights.

   They have the strength of ordinary high-level level, and they are one of the "gifts" given by Earl Delavan to Lallen, as personal followers.

  Although the kingdom knight repeatedly thanked the earl for his generosity and stated that he did not need these, the "excellent" young man as a foil, but the earl of Draven insisted repeatedly and revealed his intention to help train the ranger knight, intentionally or unintentionally.

   The ranger knight is not very old. It is obvious that he has finished training soon. He is fully equipped, with a long sword hanging from his waist, a battle shield and a one-handed hammer hanging from the back of the horse, and constantly paying attention to the movements on both sides of the road.

   As you can see, the black land that used to be full of trees has now been developed into farmland.

The fields are cultivated across the fields. In the ditches, the river water drawn from the York River flows and irrigates the fields. This territory has undergone earth-shaking changes. More wooden buildings have been built, and roads leading in all directions lead to various villages. of residents join Oak Village.

  The old windmill was refurbished, and the muddy road was paved with gravel and widened.

The    Forest of Laurel Tavern, which appeared out of thin air in the territory, was also crowded with guests all day long, and the threshold was trampled.

  People are curious about the sudden appearance of this pub, but also satisfied with the refreshing beer and lively atmosphere, which does not prevent them from visiting every day.

The dwarf blacksmiths in the blacksmith shop in the east of the village also often come here in groups to eat and drink. , Continue to eat with open stomach after vomiting.

   The booming business for more than a month has made wine master Yilin both happy and sad.

   No matter how powerful the old dwarves are, it is hard for one person to play several roles. For this reason, Lailen arranged a few young brewing apprentices to help the old dwarves to ensure the normal operation of the tavern.

The dwarf rune blacksmith Langone once looked for the kingdom knight, and the long-bearded dwarf sat on the small bench in the office on the second floor and asked worriedly: "The newly opened dwarf tavern is very good and the taste is pure, but... Ilyn Salton's guy is really just a wanderer? I've heard of the Sons of Ilyn clan of Ever Peak a few times."

   Regarding the origin of Ilyn Salton, the kingdom knight explained to him again and again, and said, "Imperial people don't lie to the imperial people", and the dwarf rune blacksmith who lived in the empire for a long time ended the long chatter.

After the Winter Veil Festival, Atelu Overland, a big businessman of the Overland Chamber of Commerce, often travels to and from Oak Village and Bray Town to build a trading post. He sees more than anything else, from site selection to building materials, and people. Hand allocation and caravan arrangement, after more than a month of busy work, the fat businessman who was originally more than 200 pounds lost a few pounds instead.

  When the big merchants have free time, they go to the laurel forest tavern in Oak Village to spend some time.

   For the first time, he contained a contemptuous attitude. He reluctantly swallowed a small glass of the special beer brewed by Yilin. The moment the liquor touched his taste buds, Adol seemed to have forgotten how to speak.

   Since then, he has always kept a bottle of Oak Village beer in his personal carriage.

In addition, Yatru used his influence to turn the laurel forest tavern in Oak Village into a veritable landmark building through beer and clever words at several just-right banquets, attracting a large number of businessmen, winemakers. Visitors and even minor nobles from the surrounding territories came to satisfy their appetites.

  The sergeants turned to the military camp. They seized a lot of fur and prey from a small bandit stronghold, as well as a lot of food, bows and arrows, and a small amount of cargo.

   A group of knights entered the village, and along the way, the villagers greeted the knights of the kingdom on horseback.

   galloped to the front of the longhouse, the door was open, and the steward Pittman, dressed in a cotton-linen wide-sleeved shirt and a kite hat, stood waiting outside the door.

The    officer bowed first: "Welcome back, my lord, it must be a very pleasant hunt."

"If retrieving the goods is considered a pleasure, then killing the Norsca people is at best a pastime after dinner." Laren handed the reins in his hand to the guard, and stepped over the distance in two or three steps: "My affairs officer, I am not here. In the past few days, I hope there is no backlog of paperwork on the desk."

   "I'm afraid the reality will disappoint you. My lord, the Overland Chamber of Commerce sent a new contract last night. Mr. Yatoru hopes that you will go to Bray Town as soon as possible and sign it at the Sigma Church."

   "I remember that guy sent more than one contract, right?"

   "Yes, the Overland Chamber of Commerce has sent a trade agreement, a commodity agreement, a merchant guild agreement, and a church ruling agreement. You need to see it yourself."

   "Oh what a hassle."

  Two hours later, Laylen changed into a dark brown leather jacket, a thick shirt with a beautiful bow tie at the neckline, and a pair of snow deerskin boots at the end of the close-fitting breeches, which outlined the tall figure of the kingdom knight, full of strength and beauty.

In front of the desk, Oak Village Affairs Officer Pittman is holding a stack of documents. He is reporting the general changes in the territory and the financial situation since the lord left for a period of time: "The number of new people who joined the territory is 46, most of them from the Northern Covenant. The fugitives from the Baron and the Nord Territory further north have few signs of chaos corruption, except for excessive hunger, their health is not bad, and they have been properly accommodated."

   "How to arrange the daily expenses of new entrants?"

   "According to your request, each person receives enough food for three days, and then arranges to work at the construction site or the logging farm in exchange for food." Pittman replied in an orderly manner.

  Lairn nodded. The principle of Shengmi En fighting Mi Chou is also applicable to the Middle Ages world. If you let in a lot of food and give it cheaply, if you suddenly cut off the supply, people will only hold grudges.

Relief for work is the best solution to get rid of the idea of ​​getting something for nothing. Behind every large-scale turmoil in ancient times, the solution is not to increase infrastructure construction, everyone has a job, and work for survival, There will be no dissent.

  The fact that 90% of the people in the Empire are ignorant is not a bad thing.

"Before Winter Veil, the doctors and pastors from the Church of Mercy that you applied to be stationed at Serena Church in Bray Town will arrive in two batches." , and a cover letter: "The Church of Mercy put forward several conditions accordingly. I took a general look at them, and they are all within the acceptable range of the territory."

  Laylen twisted up the envelope, and the solidified wax seal at the seal was intact, with the holy emblem of the Church of Mercy printed on it, symbolizing the holy symbol of Serena, the goddess of mercy.

   The envelope was torn open, and the signature at the end of the letter was Margarita Starr, the Cardinal of the Church of Mercy in Bray Town, and a well-known amiable woman in Midden Land.

  Lyren read the letter silently, then looked up and asked, "What conditions did they make?"

"First, the territory independently supports doctors and priests to ensure their own safety; second, the priests are allowed to preach to the local residents and they are allowed to hold regular ceremonies; nursing home."

  Laylen put away the letter, the Bishop of Mercy Church's tone was very approachable, and his attitude was sincere to a subtle request.

"Accept all of them, and reply to Bishop Margaret. I will donate an additional 50 gold coins to the church and let them send some doctors. At least the number of doctors and priests in Oak Village should be at least 15." The Kingdom Knight finalized the decision, compassion The church is very effective against plagues and various incurable diseases.

In the history of the Empire, the outbreak of the Black Death of the Plague a thousand years ago also depended on Dr. Sarina giving up their lives and saving their lives, so that more people could survive. Now it is the territory of human beings and cannot be reconciled. One of the missing beliefs.

   "Also, transfer some of the staff to build the Serena Church and the hospital, as well as a sigma shrine, put it in the residential area, budget the money and building materials prices, and spend it from the lord's treasury."

"Yes."

Pickman took a quick note of the kingdom knight's request with a feather pen in his right hand, and after a while, he raised his head and continued: "In another week, a new batch of 50 sergeants will be ready for battle, and the monthly output of the blacksmith shop has reached the expected standard. "

   "The standard infantry armor is 25 per month, the dwarf hand crossbow is 37 per month, and the stock of crossbow arrows is very considerable."

  Lyren asked with concern: "How many sergeants can the forged equipment supply?"

   "All sergeants, my lord."

   "Then, from now on, prepare wartime supplies, and by the end of February, I will personally lead the sergeants to completely eliminate all bandits around the territory."

   "Pickman, you can go to deal with some of the things, and put the rest of the paperwork on the desk." Lallen waved his hand and signaled the affairs officer to leave.

   "Yes, my lord."

The   Officer walked out of the room and closed the door.

  From the end of last year to the present, he has also seen the earth-shaking changes in Oak Village. Whether it is business or military, Lord Lailun has done very well, especially his special identity.

Dealing with territorial affairs requires a tacit assistant. Lailun also wants to train Pickman to be an excellent right-hand man. In the future, there will be more and more villages and towns under his name, and the territory will gradually expand. A trusted assistant can solve many problems.

   He took out a report on the monthly income and expenditure of the Laurel Forest Tavern.

The economic benefits brought by the landmark buildings are very considerable. After deducting the cost of raw materials, 40-50 gold coins are added to the account of the territory's income and expenditure every month. Because of Adol Overland, Laren also received several letters about the characteristics of the sale. Letters from beer are undoubtedly from merchants with a keen sense of smell.

A barrel of specialty beer brewed by brewmaster Yilin, the price offered by the merchants can be as high as 5 gold coins per barrel, and the monthly production of 30 barrels of specialty beer, that is to say, the monthly income of the territory can also be increased by 120-130 gold coins at most .

  Knight of the Kingdom also takes a famous name for the special beer, which is called "Balny Lafite Beer".

   Halfway through the thought, Lallen couldn't help but smile.

   A rattan hangs down from the balcony, the dark green figure swaying quickly, and the faint forest fragrance is extraordinarily leisurely.

  Lyren stood up and stared blankly at the balcony.

   "Humans, haven't seen for a while, has the reaction power degraded?" A clear and beautiful female voice, with a hint of indifference, sounded from the bookshelf behind the Kingdom Knight.

   "I thought the impolite Wood Elf had returned to Lauren Loren Forest." Loren turned around and raised his head at the same time, because an obsidian dagger pressed against his throat.

  's cold amber eyes stared straight into his eyes, and at a very close distance, the two could hear each other's slight breathing. The wood elf was about 1.7 meters tall, a head shorter than the kingdom knight.

  The edge of Katarina's cloak was stained with a few eye-catching bloodstains, like the enemy's and her own, with a fair and beautiful face, with traces of sweat dripping down the ground.

  The knight of the kingdom noticed that a blood-stained cloth was wrapped around the wood elf's calf, and it was temporarily torn from a certain piece of clothing.

   He was the first to break the eerie silence: "Are you injured? It's like a trace of a battle with some kind of beast."

   "No." Katarina answered briefly and arrogantly.

   She pulled away and quickly turned around, distanced herself from Layron. The obsidian dagger spun around in her hand and inserted back into the sheath tied to the outside of her thigh.

   "How about a glass of fruit wine?" Lallen raised his eyebrows.

".Can."

   Ask for tickets and subscriptions!

  Thanks to book friends for the reward.
