The Righteous Player(s)

Chapter 20: Father

   "Are you awake?"

   This... is the voice of Priest Louis!

   When Jon woke up, he heard this voice that made him respect and fear before he opened his eyes.

   "I, I have no money!"

   Hearing Louis’s voice, Jon closed his eyes reflexively and shouted, "I'm out of money."

   Louis just slapped him on his thigh, and laughed helplessly: "An Xin, you don't need to pay for it this time.

   "Your lord has spoken. This is your injury to defend the frozen water port. You have to go public-that is to say, you can be reimbursed."

  ...Too, too good.

   Jon breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously.

  Because he was in a coma halfway through the battle, I don’t know how the battle will go afterwards, whether he suffered other injuries, and how long he was delayed. So he doesn't know how much he can get to heal from this injury... It's just crying poor subconsciously.

   Although he was only shot once, and it was in the leg, it was a big deal. Because of the special skills of the Silver Sir Church, amputation does not cost much.

   But the old captain’s treatment fee really scared Jon.

   Because the battle ended slowly, the old captain was left with a breath when he was sent to the church. By the time he was taken to the church, the treatment fee had risen to 26 pounds-this was the price after crying poor, and the moisture content was 28 pounds before.

   There is a saying, this price is indeed not a sky-high price.

   After all, this is the value of a human life.

   The old captain can't afford it either.

   After all, he used to be a veteran and emptied his family. He can still afford the money. Or he can just sell his beautiful armor, not only can afford the treatment, but also more than enough.

   He just doesn't want to pay. He feels that he won't be able to earn the money back in the second half of his life... It's better to leave more money for the children.

   There is no salary for the militia. When there is no fighting, they are ordinary townspeople, each with their own jobs-most of them are fishermen. The only benefit is to receive a little bit of meat during the holidays every year.

   And when the town is in danger, they have to take up arms and assemble to buy time for the children and women to take refuge. The militias can join as long as a weapon, so most of them don't even have leather armor.

   Most of them are good at using spear stabbing. After all, they are all fishermen. When they were young, they had nothing to do with spearfishing. They had speed and accuracy.

  The most important thing is that the gun is not expensive. At least much cheaper than a stainless steel sword, at least to the extent that every family can afford it.

   Of course, this is also due to the fact that the frozen water port has no iron ore and can only be transported from outside.

   But ordinary fishermen, if they don’t catch anything particularly valuable, their annual income per person can be more than ten pounds... This income is actually not low, much better than the farmers in the mainland.

   You know, the town mayor’s clerk earns more than 30 pounds a year.

   But the problem is that if the daily expenses and taxes are deducted, the amount of money that can be saved every year is really not much left.

   Each fisherman can save one or two pounds each year, which is pretty good.

   If his injury were to be cured, it would cost at least four or five pounds. This little money was indeed taken out by his family. But once it is taken out, it means that his family's savings are completely drained.

   But his brother is getting married...

   So Jon was very entangled. He didn't even know how to tell his family. For a while, he thought it would be better to die and ask his family to carry his body to the mayor for some compensation.

   Or just like the old captain, he spent ten shillings to dig out the bullet and heal the wound, leaving the rest to his fate.

   It depends on whether Sir Silver takes care of him.

   But thinking about it, Silver Lord wouldn't like a stingy person like him.

   After regaining his senses, Jon couldn't help but sigh: "Thank you Lord Lord..."

   This little money may not count as much to these noble lords, and even their meal cost may not be as valuable as a bucket of good wine and a comb.

   Apart from anything else, a ferry ticket from Frozen Water Port to the Royal Capital costs a minimum of eight gold pounds.

   But for civilians like them, this is four to five years, or even six to seven years of savings, which will directly affect their family's life plans for the next few years or even more than ten years.

   "Lord Lord is such a good person."

   Jon exclaimed and tried to sit up from the bed.

   "Be careful, don't exercise vigorously these days. Your wounds are not clear yet, so save the old wounds."

   Louis urged, reached out his hand to support Jon's back, and helped him sit up.

   He asked Jon curiously: "Jon, what do you think of your lord?"

   "Good person."

   Jon said decisively.

   "...because he paid you?"

   Louis can't laugh or cry.

   Jon shook his head and whispered:

   "Because he has such a good background, he can still treat us as human beings. I can still remember that people like us don't have much money at home."

   He glanced at Leon, the "Robber" who was still in a coma, and his expression was a bit complicated: "He is even willing to heal someone like him..."

   "No, I think Lord Lord is willing to heal him, at least it must not come from kindness. Well, don't talk about it."

   Priest Louis shrugged and said with interest: "You may not know how much respect the people who came with you have to your lord... how scared."

   "Fear?"

   Jon replied without hesitation: "Then they will be punished-why should they fear someone who has just saved them?

  "Unlike our mayor, the mayor himself is a scholar from Dongshuigang. He grew up with me back then. It is normal for him to get closer to young people like us.

"But Lord Lord, he is not. It has nothing to do with him if these goods are lost... He won't cut our taxes by half because the goods are lost. Whether we live or die, it has nothing to do with him. But he is here. Fighting the robbers in a situation that is not beneficial... Isn't this a righteous act?

   "No matter how cruel the adult's methods are against the enemy, his purpose is to protect us, to protect the frozen water harbor. The more cruel his methods, the more respectable, because he fought for justice.

   Jon replied very confidently.

   The brief speech Annan gave to them flashed in his mind, the calming, uplifting command.

   is as cold as the wind of winter, and it is exciting—

   "The most respectable thing is that, as a lord, your lord...but he charged forward and was the first to charge the robber!"

   Jon said very seriously: "Master Louis, you know, they have guns! These trucks of goods are half-life for us, but does he really care about it?"

   Upon hearing this, Louise's face was slightly serious.

The tall red-haired priest slowly nodded: "You’re right. Besides, you don’t know, Jon... Lord Lord did not even go to see your mayor before entering the city, but took the two of you directly to The church left. This is not in accordance with the rules. It just happened to ran into me on the road, so I hurriedly brought you over. UU看书www.uukanshu.com

"If he is just for acting, there is no need to rush this time. Because for him, it makes no difference whether you are alive or dead... The only difference is that you will pay more for the longer delay. , The body will be damaged more severely, and it may even be amputation.

   "He is the son of the earl, and he must also know that our silver church is actually not good at healing. If you come two hours later...your leg may be gone."

With that, Louis patted Jon's thigh again and said seriously: "You really have to thank Lord Lord, but not because he saved you money, nor because he remembered that you civilians are not rich. .

   "It's because he really cares about your life and health...that's why he breaks the rules. He thinks that human life and your leg are more important than his face."

   The wound on his leg healed very well. After being patted twice by Louis, Jon didn't even feel the pain.

   But when he heard Louis' words, his heart was so warm that it was almost sour.

   His admiration for Annan has almost risen to a feverish level.

   Although he was injured, he felt happy. It was like when he had just succeeded as the captain of the militia, his father quietly took out his coffin and replaced him with a used leather breastplate.

   does not need any expression. No words are needed.

   Just the behavior itself is enough to warm people's hearts.

  Although Lord Lord has a cold face and scary young age, he is not only brave, fair, and proper, but also has a warm and human heart.

   Frozen Water Harbor can have such a father-like little lord with..., it is really lucky.

   Although the height is not very fatherly...
