Warhammer Throne
Chapter 56: , Have you learned?
Ryan thought that although Theresa promised that she would treat everyone equally, but it was impossible for her to change it right away. The woman was only willing to make some changes for herself, if she did not really encounter setbacks. Or be beaten, her mind will not change much.
Let ’s do this now. It ’s not possible to reverse a person ’s notion that he ’s in an early age.
After listening to the story for a while, Ryan seemed to be leaving. At this time, the old lady suddenly said, "It is Mr. Ryan, the white wolf knight? Would you please stay here? I have something to ask for."
All the children turned around and looked at Ryan with a pair of childish eyes, afraid to speak.
"You taught valuable knowledge to these children, what do you want to do?" Ryan didn't agree, he asked.
"They are all good children. They will grow up in the future. Most of them can't pay for the awakening talent. They will continue to work for the noble lords, or they will grow their own land, and then wait until they are 20 or 30 years old. I try my best to save some money, find someone who can spend a lifetime with myself, then get married, have children, and then grow old in a hurry to raise children, I teach them here, I just hope to be a little more for their future Out of the way, am I right? "Sledgehammer" Lord Lane? "The old lady was smiling, and the wrinkles on her face huddled together.
"I appreciate your generous actions." Ryan gave a knightly salute to this old lady. In this era when knowledge is monopolized by nobles, she can share knowledge generously just to give these children more possibilities in the future. This noble move is admirable.
The children gradually disappeared. Ryan took a stool and sat down, expressing his willingness to listen to Nora's request. Teresa stood behind Ryan: "Please say, this lady. "
The sorceress said something awkward, but she had promised Ryan to treat everyone equally before, so she forced herself to do so.
"As you can see, I am already an old woman in her fifties." The old woman's hair was already gray, and she laughed mockingly: "But once, I was like this young lady, a beautiful young woman."
Teresa frowned subconsciously, and the sorceress thought she would not change her appearance even after fifty years, but she didn't say anything, because the second sentence of this old lady was still approved by her, and she could vaguely see from her eyebrows. When she was young, she should look good.
"You used to be a noble?" Ryan immediately thought of something.
"Yes, I used to be a noble, but bankrupt nobles like me are not uncommon on the mainland. Am I right? Mr. Lane?" The old lady's face did not change, her tone was very stable, and there was a kind of insight into the world. Indifferent.
Lane nodded.
Bankrupt nobles are not uncommon, because there are always stupid and clever among the nobles, some can and will not operate, and some nobles do not know how to make a living, relying on the taxation of their own land as the main income, but also like big platoons and Luxurious life enjoyment, in this case, the nobles will go bankrupt and flee. All their land may become wasteland, or be re-sealed to others by their superior nobles.
Because some of the land is deserted, powerful wild creatures or monsters come to occupy it, and some lords are unwilling to spend military power and energy to redevelop this land.
The new empire has been established for more than 150 years, and the nobles have also divided their ranks. In recent decades, the number of bankrupt nobles has gradually increased. It is not uncommon for bankrupt nobles like old women, especially in this high risk Under the environment, nobles without strength and ability are eliminated in large numbers.
So what does the old lady want to say?
"So, Mr. Ryan, would you like to hear a story from my old lady?" The old lady's eyes were full of hope.
"Of course, otherwise I won't stay here anymore." Lane nodded.
"Okay ... well ... when should I start? When I was young, I was born in an aristocratic family. When I was born, my family was out of business. There was only one family property left. The manor, about seven or eight kilometers away from Mijodun Haven. "Nora's eyes began to loosen, and her mouth couldn't help but smile a little:" At that time, my parents were there, and there was an older brother, who lived Be happy and happy. "
"But when I was fifteen years old, a half-elf bard was ushered in the manor house. He happened to be staying at home. His handsome appearance and elegant conversation quickly attracted me deeply. So, he stayed at home for a few days, and he and I fell madly in love. "Nora looked fascinated as if she had returned to the best days.
"Unfortunately, the good times are not long, you know, the minstrel will not stay in one place for a long time. Soon, in a few days, he will leave our manor and go to the next place. I cannot accept my happiness. It was so short, so I made a crazy decision. "The expression on the old lady's face gradually became painful and obscure:" I decided ... "
"Did you decide to elope with him?" Theresa immediately guessed the ending of the story. Although the warlock had little experience in wild adventures, she was proficient in court affairs and those inside the nobles.
"Yes, I knew I was doing something wrong, but at that time, I could n’t think of it when I thought I wanted to separate from him. So, the night before he left, I secretly took my dowry and chose Elope with him and we left the city by boat. "
"In the first few years, because I brought a lot of belongings, and I was young and beautiful, between me and him like glue, like a fish in water, spent several years of happy time."
"It's just that the good times don't last long. There will always be a day of money and money, and my appearance will fade with time. The time of the half-elves is different from ours. After ten years or so, I started to grow old and I used the dowry Most of the time, I can feel that he is getting tired of me, I do n’t like me anymore, I do n’t need me anymore. "
Normal, most men are like this, Theresa thought, women must be self-reliant, not as a vassal of men.
"So on one night, I left him and set foot on my way home alone. It took me several years. When I returned to my hometown, I found everything changed."
"After I eloped, my parents went crazy and looked for me. After spending several years not finding me, I was depressed and my brother was not a good business man. He soon lost his family property. Within a few years, the manor was attacked by a scorpion-tail lion. The manor guard organized by his brother could not fight this terrible monster. He also died of poisoning. "
The old lady needless to say, both Ryan and Theresa could think that probably, after both the father and mother and the brother died, Nora, who had a weak claim, rightfully inherited the ownership of the manor, in fact, she had already The Lord Earl of Jordon Haven got the land deed here.
The problem is that this manor is now a scorpion ’s lair. Nora Tieding has no way to expel the scorpion lioness with his own power.
"Have you ever found the Church of Justice?" Lane knew what the old lady was asking for.
"I have looked for it, but justice needs a price. Scorpion lion is not an ordinary monster. This scorpion lion is an elite peak monster after investigation. I ca n’t afford the price given by the justice church, so I can only Find a corner in the city, rely on some of the savings in the past and teach people to make a living, and then live on the memories. "Nora sighed, and the wrinkles on the old face seemed to be deeper.
"Then why do you think that I can promise you to help you expel the scorpion tail lion?" Ryan was interested.
"I don't know, maybe it's intuition, maybe it's just my naive thoughts, the truth is, I really can't get the corresponding reward." Nora sighed: "This may be the last time I tried, if Mr. Lane you don't want to , Then listen to a story, the wife has a little savings, it should not be difficult in a few years. "
"I agreed." Ryan said with a smile suddenly.
"What ?!" The old lady raised her head in surprise.
"I said, I promised." Ryan nodded: "You can rest assured, I am not in vain, I will get my own reward, but the money will not come from you, then, you press me Do what you say. "
--Dividing line--
After saying goodbye to the old lady, Theresa asked curiously: "What are you going to do? You won't do it in vain? But where does the money come from?"
Lane smiled and said his thoughts softly: "First of all, I will write a letter to inform Earl Albert as a Knight of the Kingdom, saying that there is a monster in Nora ’s manor. Under the circumstances, the count must definitely say that according to your information, Albert is not a lord who likes to send troops, and the manor is already a lost land and a property owner. Then the most likely case is that he will send people Post a notice on the bulletin board, reward people who can solve this problem, this is the first income ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ The sorceress immediately understands, facing the inquiry and warning of Ryan, Albert as the lord is sure If you want to make a statement, then even if you pretend to be a look, a reward for deceiving people is definitely necessary, then the income must be there.
"Then, Ms. Nora will go to the Church of Life alone, and she will promise to the Bishop of the Church of Life that if her estate can be recovered from the hands of the Scorpion Lion, she will pay tithe to the Church of Life." Ryan embraced her chest in her hands. Said the second step.
"For the Church of Life, there is a barren field that cannot be cultivated. This is blasphemy. It is the ultimate goal of the Church of Life to make tithes payable on all farmland, so the Bishop of the Church of Life has no reason to refuse, but Ms. Nora did not appear Remuneration. "Theresa's eyes are getting brighter and brighter:" So if I am a bishop, I will post a bounty. If the bounty is successful, the commission paid by the church can be offset from the tithe paid by Ms. Nora in the future. If no one completes the bounty, the church will not lose anything! And for Ms. Nora, her estate had no penny income. If she can pay tithes back to her estate, she must be willing."
Ryan extended a second finger: "So, this is the second income."
"As for the third stroke, don't forget, the scorpion tail lion is a treasure, and a variety of precious alchemy materials come from this fierce beast ..."
"It's Sister Dietrind! She is definitely willing to buy these alchemical materials from your hands at a suitable price!"
"So, these three incomes add up, enough to invite me out." Ryan stretched out his third finger, and then looked at Theresa with a smile: "Theresa? Tell me, have you learned?"
Replied to him with a wide-eyed glance: "Yes, please come to us two."
