Broad World

From the first sight of Henry, he realized that she was completely different from before. The girl who was a little naive and kind is gone, replaced by a cynical fighter who is full of resentment towards the real world. Yes, he is a fighter. After so many things, her thinking has become increasingly mature or extreme, and now she has the consciousness to devote herself to politics.

It is not easy to know that being a political leader who fights for the interests of lower-class civilians is not an easy task, especially in Amn, a land ruled by nobles and big merchants. Everyone knows that the political battle is to see who can win over more allies and get more people's support. However, the class represented by Naria decided that no one would choose to support her except for a handful of priests and paladins from the good camp.

This is a hard and lonely road of struggle. There are no allies, no friends, and there are just endless enemies and poor civilians who have nothing. Not only do they have little power, but they are also short-sighted. Wanting to lead these people to fight for more rights is tantamount to asking for trouble.

Seeing Naria's angry eyes, Henry asked softly: "Have you decided?"

"Yes, I decided. This country needs to change, and countless civilians need to be saved." Naria replied decisively.

"Well, I'm finally reminding that this road is not easy to follow, and unpredictable results may happen at any time. Your only allies are not reliable, they may be bought and betrayed, even if they succeed in the end. , The result may be far from what you imagined. However, I still want to send my blessings. I wish you complete your ideals."

Henry spoke. He gave Naria a hug. Anyway. As a girl, the courage to make this attempt is worthy of admiration. Although the final result can be expected to be a tragedy, it is good for the rulers of Faerun mainland to see the power of ordinary people.

Nalia smiled and nodded. "Thank you, I will work hard. But you'd better go talk to Sernick and Ernest first, they have a lot of things to report urgently."

"Okay, I'll talk about politics later. You, Imoen and Hina had better go upstairs and take a shower. You must know that the hot spring water here is quite good. A dip can relieve travel fatigue. "Speaking of Henry, he pointed the direction to the three girls.

Imoen yelled happily: "Wow! That's great. We haven't had a bath for four days, if we hadn't been using "magic tricks" to clean up the body. I'm afraid it will stinks now. "

"Damn it, it's okay if you don't say it, I feel itchy all over my body when you mention it." Dragon Girl Hina said as she scratched her hair hard.

"Then what are you waiting for, my dear sisters, let's go and take a bath." After speaking, Naria patted the other two people's **** fiercely, and then quickly ran to the second floor. . Imoen and Hina screamed and ran after them.

Seeing the three girls laughing and playing, Henry couldn't help but shook his head with a smile. He casually found a chair and sat down, then beckoned to the butler who had been standing by and waiting.

After Ernest saw it. Immediately stepped up and bowed. "Good morning, Lord Duke. Although it is a bit late. But I still want to congratulate you on your victory in this war."

"Thank you very much. By the way, what's the matter with so many convoys and boxes?" Henry asked, pointing to the mountain of goods in the front yard. Although he has guessed a few points, he still needs to confirm it.

At the mention of this, Ernest's slightly fat face was full of smiles. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied: "These are all the belongings found in the Ronor family castle. I stayed in place with low-value decorations, paintings, sculptures, armors and weapons. But gold and silver utensils, currency, jewellery, magical objects, and precious works of art have all been shipped."

Henry nodded slightly and continued to ask: "How many are there, and have they estimated the value?"

"I have a list here, please wait a moment." The butler took out the ledger from his arms and said in a low voice: "423,000 gold coins and 1,225,300 silver coins. , 40 sets of gold and silver tableware, three boxes of various gems, two boxes of jewellery, 30 magic items in total, and two paintings by the artist Bielsa 800 years ago..."

Before he could finish his reading, Henry waved his hand quickly. "Stop! Needless to say, you just need to tell me the total value of these things."

Knowing that the magic in the "Book of Casa" is a technique, the super time stop recorded on the scroll of Netheril, the alchemy notes of Lord Obiris, these things need to spend a lot of time to study, he is not interested I wasted my time listening to the smelly long report.

Ernest obviously heard the impatience in his tone, and immediately reported his estimate in a succinct manner: "The total value is about 1.3 million yuan. But those works of art are really inaccurate, if anyone It’s not impossible to sell for more than ten times the price if you follow it."

Henry was slightly taken aback when he heard this number. He really didn’t expect the Ronor family to be so rich, including the value of the mage tower and the materials, scrolls and potions stored in it, three castles and large tracts of land, the Eilatan house, as well as shops and sea ships. I'm afraid it's almost half of Balagas' "Flying Flame" property.

The latter is an ancient red dragon that has lived for more than 10,000 years, while the former has only risen on the land of Amn for less than 500 years. It seems that after all, robbery is not as fast as trade money, especially those illegal trade, as long as they can maintain stability, they can quickly accumulate a lot of wealth. Of course, if compared to the magic items collected between the two, it's a far cry.

After all, the "Fire Scepter of Onaga of Darkness" and "Mythril Chain of Sorrow" used by Balagas "Flying Flame" are both very powerful secondary artifacts, which are not comparable to the upstarts of the Ronore family. of. However, if this family continues to prosper, perhaps after a few hundred years of precipitation, wealth can really be transformed into strength, and it will be difficult to think about their ideas at that time.

Regarding such a large sum of money, Henry thought for a few minutes, and then said to the butler: "Well, you can let someone separate the gold coins and gems, put them in the garden, and I will take them away in a while. Silver coins and magic items will be taken first. Put it in the basement, and sell all other works of art, tableware, and jewelry."

"Understood, I will deal with your instructions." Ernest bowed and turned to leave. Before taking a few steps, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly stopped, patted his forehead and said: "Almost forgot, Sernike said that he has something to talk to you about private army expansion."

"Call him here, and just settle it together while I still have some time now." Henry knew that managing territory is a waste of energy, so he decided to delegate power. Anyway, as a powerful legendary mage and druid, he doesn't need to worry about someone seeking his own property and land, because this kind of behavior can no longer be described as stupid, it's all about death.

A few minutes later, the armored captain Sernick walked in with a stride. He took two steps forward in accordance with the etiquette of the noble knight, took off his helmet, then knelt on one knee and waited silently for his loyal master to speak. For a mercenary leader, it is really not easy to be able to make a complete article without any difference. It can be seen that this person has been well educated since childhood, and even the details of waiting for the superior to speak first are handled meticulously.

It can be seen that this guy is quite conservative and respects order. Henry suddenly felt that maybe it was a good idea to canonize this guy as a knight, because he just needed such a person to maintain his security in Amn. To be conservative means not to be easily manipulated, and lawful means to adhere to principles, which is simply a perfect defender.

"Sernike, have you ever thought about becoming a noble knight?" Henry asked, sitting in a chair.

The captain of the guard was taken aback for a moment, then immediately raised his head and replied with a little excitement: "Of course, that is my lifelong dream."

Hearing this answer, Henry showed a smile on his face and nodded in satisfaction. "Very well, I now need a loyal and capable knight to protect the territory. Tell me, can you do it?"

"Yes! I swear in the name of the guardian god, as long as I still breathe! No one can violate your property! Any enemy who dares to attack will pay the price of blood!" There was a glimmer of holiness, and Haim personally witnessed this oath.

Henry also got up from the chair at this time, and took out the Thurs knife worn on his waist and placed it on Sernike's shoulder. Then he cleared his throat and solemnly announced: "I, Henry Angome, The master of the Dalaran Principality, the lord of the northern lands of the Esmere River, today canonized Sernike as a noble knight~www.ltnovel.com~ and granted a village as a beneficiary."

After speaking, he lightly patted the shoulder with a knife three times and finally sent out a motto: "Loyalty is a virtue, protection is strength, and you are a guardian knight."

Cernick flushed with excitement, and his whole body was trembling. He couldn't believe it was true. The goal of his life was achieved so easily. Although Amn’s title of nobility can be bought as long as they have money, they are all prepared for the merchants. Even the lowest-ranking knights and knights cost thousands of gold coins, which are simply not affordable for ordinary people. Besides, he also has a village as a hereditary feast.

After completing the ceremony, Henry inserted the long knife back into the sheath and sat back on the chair. From now on, the two people are no longer purely an employment relationship. According to the laws of the traditional nobility, Sernike is now one of his vassals. Of course, it is inevitable that you still need to register at the council building, otherwise the government will not recognize it.
