Chapter 18 Lord knows everything? (Seeking for further reading)
Matthew looked calm and ignored the request in the butler Ralph's tone. After nodding with a smile, he said loudly under the casual glances of the soldiers:
"The 11 wounded and infected came forward, purified and treated the wounds in their cloaks, and then we began to distribute the spoils."

"Don't worry, everyone. I remember clearly the contributions made by each of you..."

"The one with the highest contribution value - Angela Knight."

"She commanded the battle to kill 512 aberrant murlocs, and participated in the battle for her contribution. She received 10% of all profits and received 50 gold coins!"

"A total of 26 aberrant murlocs were killed, and 30% of the kill contribution will be distributed, and 7 gold and 80 silver coins will be obtained!"

"Sixteen murlocs were seriously injured, and they will be distributed according to 16% of the serious injury contribution, and they will receive 15 gold and 2 silver coins!"

"Participate in the battle and get 1 gold, 20 silver and 96 copper coins!"

"Angela won a total of 61 gold, 40 silver and 96 copper coins."

"As the one who contributed the most in this battle, I will also reward her with a bottle of healing potion worth 10 gold coins."

Angela, who was at a loss, accepted the golden coins and healing potion in front of everyone under the scorching gazes of the soldiers and the urging eyes of the butler Ralph.

She never thought that her first gain of more than 1 gold coins in her life would come from this battle on the road.

Of course, there are also many soldiers who are confused, and everyone can see Angela's contribution.

But Matthew's contribution, which was accurate to single digits, and his reward, which was accurate to copper coins, inevitably made everyone a little suspicious.

In fact, even Angela herself couldn't remember how many aberrant fish-men she killed and how many she seriously injured in the tense battle just now.

"Could it be that the lord is talking nonsense?"

Many people looked at each other secretly, and their happy moods became more ups and downs.

Unexpectedly, Matthew didn't seem to notice everyone's doubts, and said in a calm and confident tone:

"I am the second in contribution value."

"A total of 64 aberrant fishmen were killed, and 30% of the kill contribution was distributed, and 19 gold and 20 silver coins were obtained."

"51 aberrant murlocs were seriously injured, and they will be distributed according to 15% of the serious injury contribution, and they will receive 7 gold and 65 silver coins."

"Participate in the battle and get 1 gold, 20 silver and 96 copper coins."

"A total of 28 gold, 5 silver and 96 copper coins were obtained!"

Everyone immediately saw that Matthew had also counted the coins thoroughly and held them in his hand.

Now everyone can see clearly that the Lord is not just talking randomly, at least he will not use such easily exposed lies to "joke" with everyone.

After all, it’s not like nobles who have gone back on their word have never appeared before...

But in everyone's heart, there is a faint hope that the lord will really remember the achievements and rewards that everyone deserves, as he said.

There are even many people comforting themselves in their hearts that even if there are "mistakes" in other things, the collective contribution of 1 gold, 20 silver and 96 copper coins should be there.

"Third place, John Carls..."

"No. 4, Sean Radley..."

"..."

"No. 32, Medley, killed 2 aberrant murlocs and received 60 silver coins."

"Severely injured 4 aberrant murlocs and received 60 silver coins."

“参与战斗获得1金20银96铜币，总计获得2金40银96铜币！”

Hearing the lord say his name, Medley jumped up excitedly, raised his chin proudly, and said to his companions who were taller than him: "Haha, I just said that I killed two aberrant fish. Come on, luckily the lord saw it, hum..."

The companions around him watched him quickly step forward and happily receive the gold coins. Their eyes couldn't help but show a little bit of envy. They looked at Matthew with incredible admiration.

"The lord actually remembered it correctly. This is really amazing!"

"The Lord is a mysterious and powerful arcanist. He sees everyone's every move."

"That's right, just like the assassin who deserves to be killed, the Lord must have noticed his sinister intentions a long time ago. Wouldn't he just jump into the trap?"

"It makes sense. The lord's ability is so powerful that he knows everything..."

As the soldiers, militiamen, and cart drivers confirmed their achievements and rewards without any objection, everyone reached a consensus in their hearts. The mysterious and powerful lord really knows everything!
Those guys who originally had small thoughts also felt lucky, but there were always people who were greedy.

"..."

"No. 86, Cattelan, contributed 1 kill and received 30 silver coins, contributed 1 serious injury and received 15 silver coins..."

"That's not right, Lord Lord. I killed two aberrant murlocs and seriously injured at least three more. Not only did I gain this, my companions all saw it..."

Cattelan raised his head and shouted in disbelief. He scratched his head and turned to look at his companions.

The latter also nodded quickly, with a little bit of honesty on his face. He looked up at Matthew nervously and said in a tentative tone:

"Yes, Cattelan did kill two aberrant murlocs. I killed 3, it shouldn't be 2. Ganon is right next to us, he can see clearly..."

The Ganon he was talking about was a tall and thin militiaman. After hearing what the two of them said, he nodded quickly and answered:
"Yes, the three of us were very happy at the time and were still thinking about how many gold coins we could get by killing these aberrant murlocs. Unfortunately, we didn't learn Chinese characters and couldn't calculate..."

Seeing Matthew's motionless figure, Canon, whose palms were sweating, said in an ambiguous tone:
"It happened that we were throwing fuel at that time, and the corpses of the killed fishmen were burned. Maybe Lord, you remembered it wrong..."

For a moment, the entire convoy was silent.

Everyone stared blankly at the three people, and then peeped at the Lord with concealed eyes. The latter showed no reaction and seemed to be thinking carefully.

Old John, who was repairing the carriage, also stopped what he was doing, with a sneer on his lips.

Leon, who was helping him next to him, blinked in confusion and blurted out uncontrollably:

"No way? Didn't your lord remember your mistake?"

Unexpectedly, Matthew patted his head gently in front of the big guys and said with sudden realization:
"It's true that I remembered it wrong..."

As soon as this statement came out, the entire team immediately started talking.

Until the butler Ralph's eyes flashed with a cold light and he shouted "Quiet" in a deep voice.

Only then did everyone shut their mouths. The three of them lowered their heads subconsciously, and their faces under the masks showed bursts of joy.

"You still know everything? You're just a little brat!"

"Okay, if I had known this guy was so easy to fool, why didn't I say more just now?"

"Isn't that right? Why did he admit it?"

The three people have completely different ideas. Some are grateful but expectant, and some are fearful and greedy.
