Lord of Glory - Chapter 49

[Chapter forty-ninth negotiated]

In the backyard of Nari’s house. Paladin looked at the gradually yellowing sky, and immediately said with his hands behind his back: “Long story short, there are no outsiders now. Mr. Harvey, what kind of armor do you need?” : “Twenty pairs of chain armor and half-body plate armor. Plus 20 standard cross swords, hammer swings, and spears each!”

Who knew that as soon as the voice fell, Palatine immediately waved his hand and refused: “Impossible! Mr. Harvey, you must know. With my relationship with Kaleich, there is no problem with the armor. The best thing to do is to trust the relationship and then fine it. But the weapon is Absolutely not! If it spreads out, the three of us will be hanged on the gallows! Even the Holy See will ignore me.”

Harvey saw Paladin’s resoluteness, and knew that his own temptation was superfluous. Only then did he really say the request: “Forty pairs of armor, no weapons required. Each pair will give you one hundred and fifty gold coins! How about it?” Paladin and Kaleich were startled. Said: “I can’t see it, Mr. Harvey. A hundred people can actually get four thousand five hundred gold coins. You are really rich!”

Who knew that Harvey immediately waved his hand and said, “I didn’t buy it for myself. I bought it for the people behind me. There are too many involved, so don’t ask. But in terms of price, we are very generous. Because In the future, maybe I will buy it from you.” Paladin and Kaleich nodded immediately. And in Palatine’s mind, a thought became clearer and clearer: “This Harvey is hired by the duchy, and he must be a great noble. Spending so much money to secretly build armor. I just don’t want others to know… Is it true? Are you going to fight?”

But this thought just flashed in my mind, and it was temporarily suppressed by Paladin. Now the consideration is not whether to fight or not, but the issue of own income. After all, there is no money, and many ways are impossible. I saw Palatine nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly asked: “When will I need the goods?” “The sooner the better. It must not exceed two months.”

Paladin figured it out. For two months, it was not a problem to find an unknown blacksmith to work out. Looking at Kaleich, seeing that he also nodded in agreement. Then he said: “Okay, I’ll give it to you in two months.” Harvey nodded with satisfaction, but saw Paladin immediately add: “But I’m afraid you’ll turn over, so I’ll give you a thousand first.” Kaleich’s face was a little ugly, After all, this Harvey was also his friend, and it was embarrassing to ask for money in person. However, Harvey was bold and immediately nodded: “Yes, but one thousand gold coins is too much, and I can’t hold it on my body at all. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will send someone to bring it to you.”

At this time, it is safe to discuss, and they should leave before the sky is completely bright. The Palatine suddenly stopped, looked at Harvey who was about to leave and asked: “Captain, if you can tell me, I would like to ask.” “The priest said straight,” “You brought a hundred people, not simply It’s just for the armor.” Whoever thought of Kaleich saw the hesitation on Harvey’s face, and immediately explained: “Harvey tell me, we are all in the same boat.”

I saw Harvey nodded, and suddenly said in a low voice: “Father, I just came out to do things for others. I don’t have any benefits. The Forest of Monsters in the center of the three countries is only a dozen days away from here. The Principality also stipulates a limited number of entrances and exits. The eye-catching benefits on the way are huge. If you don’t make a fortune from the nearby caravan, I’m really sorry for those subordinates who follow me around.”

Palatine nodded suddenly. Mercenaries are famously undisciplined, without honor in the army. As long as it is profitable, you can change from mercenary to robber at any time. Think of the armies of many countries. In normal peacetime, the state does not do anything special. Most soldiers will go to war-torn countries to become mercenaries of one party. Because they are not from this country, there is no psychological burden to burn, kill and loot. And the benefits are high. So many soldiers, even civilian mercenaries, like to fight for other countries.

Palatine suddenly remembered the Philosopher’s Stone, and immediately said to Harvey: “If you catch a prisoner, please give it to me. I will pay five gold coins per person, which is twice the price of the slaves in Adriano! How much I How much?”

Not only was Harvey a little surprised, but Kaleich looked at Palatine in confusion. He couldn’t figure out what the Palatine wanted so many slaves for, regardless of gender or age. However, it is not easy to ask about other people’s affairs, so I have to keep it in my heart. But the knowledge of Palatine was covered with a layer of fog, and it became more and more difficult to see clearly. Although Harvey didn’t understand what Palatine wanted to do, he and the priest had known each other for less than an hour. The other party wanted to spend money, and he wanted to make money. Why not do it? I saw Harvey slapped the breastplate on his chest and nodded happily, “Father, don’t worry, I will try my best to catch the beautiful woman back for you.” Paladin gave an unconvincing smile, and first left with a swipe of his sleeves.

That’s how things came to an end. Paladin and Kareich team up to announce that Nari and Kira and Doroner are behind it. Dorrel was disheartened and fled Nuerba overnight with his family property. Although he has never heard from him again. However, some people who went out said that Doroner was robbed by robbers on the way and had his head cut off.

In any case, Paladin is very happy now, and all the ironworks under the name of Doroner, Nari, Kira and Grandy have become his and Kaleich’s property. Through Kaleich’s decades of connections, he also secretly recruited some blacksmiths who specialize in black market transactions to help cast the armor. Moreover, Paladin had a hunch that the Principality was about to go to war, and Nuerba’s iron ore would flow into the Principality in large quantities. You can make a lot of money yourself. Roughly speaking, Paladin received sixty gold coins a month. This is more than the donations from believers.

In a blink of an eye, seven days have passed. At this time in the church, Palatine was holding gauze and hemostatic in his hands, bandaging the wound on the arm of the young man lying on the hospital bed. “Pain Pain Pain!” The man on the bed had no name, everyone called him Uka. In the dialect of the principality, it means reckless. At this time, because he went hunting in the morning, he ran into a wild boar so he could die, and only his arm was cut open. With a wonderful smile on Paladin’s face, he applied the hemostatic medicine and gently tied the gauze on his hands.

Paladin let out a sigh of relief, smiled brightly and said to Uka, who had recovered, “Okay, it’s already bandaged. But you have to remember that you can’t go hunting any more these days, otherwise the wound will open. , it will also purify. It will be difficult to deal with.” Uka got up, really felt that his arm was much better, looked at Paladin gratefully and said: “Oh! Father, thank you very much. But my family I don’t have much money, so I really don’t know how to repay you.”

Paladin shook his head casually, carefully lifted Uka to the door, and said, “There is no need to thank the gift. I am very happy to be able to attend tomorrow’s Mass as a believer.” “Don’t worry, Father, I will definitely do it. Here.” Uka gratefully looked at the priest who was no older than him, but was filled with a feeling of reverence.

“Yo! Father.” Just as Paladin was about to go back to the church, an aunt came over with a bag of fruit and vegetable dishes, handed it to Paladin and said, “Thank you for hosting my daughter’s wedding last time. Look at what you usually eat. The things are not very good, these home grown fruits, vegetables and potatoes, please give the priest a taste.” “How embarrassing.” Paladin’s face was a little embarrassed, but he took the basket in his hand. But at this moment, a familiar figure walked over.
