My Wife Is Great Fief Lord

Chapter 78 Three Thousand Silver Paladin

Gervais entire group returned to the Golden Castle without any accident, just because the carriage was used to transport food, so all the guards They all had to walk back, which made the return journey much slower, and it took double the time it took to get to the gentle slope of the castle.

Originally it didn’t matter if it took a little longer to travel on the way back, but halfway through the journey, the full moon in the sky had disappeared, and replaced it with one after another cobweb-like lightning streak across the sky to illuminate the entire Heaven and Earth , the terrifying sound of thunder continued to come.

Gervais is very worried that it will rain, the roads in this world are all dirt roads, a torrential rain may make a few cars unable to move forward, and the continuous rain may make people catch cold , There is no special medicine in this world, and those with poor resistance are likely to die from a small cold.

Fortunately, when they felt outside the castle, the fearful downpour did not pour down.

“Whoo! It’s finally here!”

Riding on horses to the city gate of the Castle of Gold, Gervais finally sighed in relief, and they finally got back to the castle before it rained .

The procedure for entering the castle is exactly the same as when I went back to Gandalf Castle last time. A guard was put down on the castle with a sling. After confirming the identity of Gervais, the gate was slowly opened.

“Your Excellency, you’ve worked hard!”

The entire group of Gervais filed in from the castle gate, Anna and Thomas were already standing in the vestibule, Gervais just dismounted, and Anna was already holding a towel He came up and handed the towel to Gervais.

“Your Excellency, you’ve worked hard!”

Anna has now become Gervais’s personal maid, and she does all the things that serve Gervais, but Thomas is behind Anna. , did not come forward, just waited for Gervais’s order with a flattering face.

“Thank you, Anna!” Gervais wiped his face and hands with a towel and handed it back to Anna, looking at her cute face and smilingly thanked her.

“Thomas, let the kitchen make some hot food for the soldiers to eat, and by the way, burn some of the Storm Wolf’s meat. Lord Nathan and I will eat some later.”

It is already midnight, everyone has been busy for half the night, and they are already so hungry that their chests are on their backs, especially himself, he is fighting the whole way tonight.

“Yes, my lord.”

Thomas took the order and hurriedly returned to the inner fort.

“Anna, there is a lot of food on the carriage, you are responsible for counting it, and let the soldiers carry it into the warehouse! You are also responsible for the statistical classification of those swords and leather armor, and the results will be handed over to the warehouse. Thomas Steward will do.”

“Yes, my lord!”

After Thomas and Anna went to work as instructed by Gervais, Gervais brought Nathan to the first floor of the Neiburg. in the hall.

“Lord Nathan, thank you for your hard work tonight!”

Gervais sat on the large back chair and drank several sips of juice before smiling and looking towards Nathan.

“You’re welcome, Master Gervais Young, I’m just doing what I’m instructed to do, it’s my duty, and it’s all thanks to you, Master Young, that tonight went so well.”

Nathan Sorry to accept this thanks from Gervais, to be honest, if it wasn’t for Gervais’s plan to kill a few Knights tonight, whether they could have successfully intercepted the convoy, he said that only in the camp did he sneak attack with Gervais and attack the iron-clad man. , the other times are basically soy sauce.

“It’s many thanks to my dear father. If it wasn’t for his support, this interception plan would not have been possible. I really didn’t expect that there was a mithril mine in that camp.”

>

Gervais laughed dumbly, but he was a little proud in his heart. Peak Knight died under his long sword. If it wasn’t for the noble law, Gervais would have the urge to hang a banner and show it off.

“Gervais Young Master, the less people know about Mithril, the better, especially the church people.”

Nathan heard Gervais mention Mithril, Although he was also laughing, his tone became slightly serious, and he slowly said to Gervais.

“Oh? Does the church also collect mithril?”

Gervais was a little surprised, it’s understandable that fewer people know about it, after all, an innocent man treasuring a jade ring becomes a crime. As soon as people think about it, his life is definitely not easy, his overall strength is still very weak, people know that the mithril mine in the buffer zone can’t be kept, but Nathan specifically mentioned the church, which made Gervais a little confused.

“Yes, Gervais Young Master, the church collects mithril, most of our dukedom’s mithril is collected by the church, and even some mithril mines are mined by the church, and only a small part of mithril mines are mined. It was hidden by the lords, mined and sold privately.”

“Lord Nathan, the church doesn’t fight, why do they need so much mithril? Even a few Knight regiments can’t use that much, right? Did they deliberately hoard it up and sell it at a higher price? Didn’t the king intervene?”

Gervais was a little puzzled. Although mithril ore was a good thing, it was not edible. The church even took the entire dukedom’s Mithril had a monopoly, and Gervais could only guess whether the church wanted to make money, but such a philistine behavior was different from the church in the original owner’s impression.

“No one knows what the church wants so much mithril for, but the price of mithril is not because of the church. Mithril is already scarce and has a huge effect, so it is so expensive. 10gold coin One gram of mithril is the price sold by the church. Alchemists use this price to buy mithril in the church. As for those lords who sell it privately, the price may rise to 11gold coin per gram, because the church sells a lot of money every year. Limited, only alchemists have the right to buy first.”

Speaking, Nathan took a few sips of the juice in his hand, moistened his throat before continuing to say to Gervais: “The church is very powerful. Strong, the pope of the church is the Peak Golden Knight, and the church has three Knight regiments, of which the Paladin regiments are all composed of Silver Knights with about 3,000 people. The strength of the remaining two Knight regiments is unknown, but the Knight regiment is resident. Holy City, Holy City is a place where no one can go except the church people.”

Hiss~

After listening to Nathan’s words, Gervais took a deep breath, it was him It was the first time I knew that the strength of the church was so terrifying, no wonder it was able to take half of the tax from the lord, and the King of Mithril did not dare to object.

The Paladin group Gervais knew that it was the Legion that provided security for the church to travel around the continent, but didn’t expect this Knight group to be all Silver Knights. Thinking about it was daunting. And it’s just the armed forces of the church on the surface.

God knows what the strength of the other two Knight groups stationed in Holy City will be, but since they can be used as a trump card to protect Holy City, Gervais thinks that it is better than the Paladin group on the surface. , most conservatively speaking, at least the strength is comparable to that of the Paladin group.

If this is true, it means that the church has nearly 10,000 Silver Knights, as well as Peak Level Gold Knight Popes, as well as all powerful Archbishops, Gervais thinks, unless a few big Only by uniting dukedom can it be possible to compete with the church.

“It seems that the information on these mithrils must be kept secret, and when they are used, they can only be used little by little, so as not to attract the attention of the church, or else I have to surrender the mithril mine. share.”

Having deeply understood the terrifying power of the church, Gervais also took seriously the secrecy that Nathan explained.
