I have a shelter

To be honest, they have been running around for days these days, and the road is tiring and hard. They will accept the high price for a hot meal - even if the bartender says it costs eight silver foxes!

But when the cod, cheese, beef, sausages, etc. were served one by one, the four people couldn't help but slowly widen their eyes.

They were all fresh, not bacon! And there were spices such as pepper!

Aji looked at the last two roast chickens and a small barrel of beer, tore off a roast chicken leg, and came to George and said, "Boss, we didn't send so many things last time we delivered food, did we?"

Everyone knows the situation of Bishui City in the past. How many people died for that little food?

But now it has only been a few months, and even the private taverns have such abundant food!

You know, in many places in the West, people are still cannibalizing each other!

"It's been a long time, Aji." George looked at the peppercorns in the sweet soup in front of him and knew that these things must have been shipped from the south.

The nobles in the south gathered here like flies. Wherever the nobles went, the merchants and materials from the south would go. The direction of the nobles' winds represented the political winds. The Valley in the west received the news of the Thorn Birds War two months ago, but in fact, the war was fought in winter. Later, as the war situation gradually stabilized, there were more and more resources near the Green Water City, and there were few refugees fleeing from the Green Water City. So in the past six months, the latest news received by the Valley was that the Templars defeated the Black Tide and lifted the siege of the Green Water City.

He said, "In such a long time, a lot of things will happen. So it's not surprising that there are all kinds of supplies here."

"But even so, the appearance of this horse cheese is similar to the military rations made for Yongfeng City in Mufeng Manor." Aji looked strange, looking at the tables of people not far away with envy: "Are these soldiers treated so well? The designated place for food is a tavern? And they can get it for free after winning the battle?!"

George ignored the crazy hint of his subordinates, and followed Aji's gaze with a very strange look, looking at the seats not far away.

That table was a group of new guests, and the standard on their bodies was like a patrol.

There were also many sergeants at the bar, hugging a few prostitutes who had just come out and laughing.

If it was a normal rest, it would be nothing to come to the tavern for a drink, but this was wartime! They didn't stay in the barracks, but came here to drink, which was simply a lax military discipline.

What's even more outrageous is that the patrol team also came here to drink at noon.

"Boss, shouldn't we raise our salary? The beer here is so expensive, but people still come here every day." Aji has already made it clear.

"They don't use salary." George took a sip of beer and sighed in his heart. Seeing this, he basically understood in his heart.

"There is also extra money?! Boss, you are not encouraging me to change jobs, are you?"

George gave him a hard head slap.

At this time, another noble knight walked into the tavern with several soldiers. Judging from the enthusiastic look of the prostitutes, it seems that they are still regular customers. George and others heard that this knight seemed to be a retainer of the Earl of Leiden.

"Sir, look, the messenger is here." Rosgerd, who had been eating silently, suddenly said.

He seemed to have eyes on his back and reached out to grab the sleeve of the knight who passed by here.

Seeing that the old tramp suddenly grabbed him, the flesh on the guy's face immediately stood up.

Rosgerd suddenly nodded and smiled, "Don't you remember me, old friend? It's really not easy to meet here."

The knight obviously didn't know this old guy, but when he saw his eyes, he was suddenly stunned. He patted his head and suddenly smiled at Rosgerd with a look of realization, as if he saw an acquaintance.

He sent away the prostitutes and followers around him, sat down directly, and chatted with Rosgerd cordially. But if you pay attention to his eyes, you will find that his eyes are very dull, as if he has lost his soul.

As George guessed, the quartermaster has been reselling supplies. And the soldiers followed suit and sold them secretly to exchange for wine.

What's even more outrageous is that not all the supplies transported out of the city are going to the front line. Many things were transported to other territories by the termites-the lords of the western border tried to find ways to sell food to the territory, and the lords of the south tried to find ways to transport the Rodunk property looted from the eastern front back to the territory.

Everyone got what they needed, and it seemed that some kind of unspoken rules had been reached.

After listening, Aji widened his eyes: "Then the city lord guarding here, isn't he the biggest borer?!"

After hearing the word "city lord", the knight was in awe: "Although Earl Leiden is an Eldar, he has always been famous for fairness, so he has never been partial in distributing benefits!"

Rosgerd suddenly nodded and said: "It seems that the people above are not just turning a blind eye."

With a snap, the cup in Aji's hand was crushed by him. He said angrily: "Are the heads of those noble leaders full of shit?! The war hasn't even ended yet, and they're already doing this! Boss, I really understand why you are so negative about the war in the east. If we rely on these trash to resist the black tide, we really don't know how we died!"

"By the way, which earl is Earl Leiden?" George suddenly asked.

"He is the second son of Grand Duke Eagle Campbell. The eldest son is 'Jagger Campbell'. He has inherited the Grand Duke's title of Earl of Thorns and will definitely inherit the title of Grand Duke in the future. The second son is Leighton Campbell. He inherited the Grand Duke's title of Earl of Tulip. The third daughter was supposed to have the title of viscount, but she went to her cousin's house in anger because of her in-laws, and has been missing for many years now. However, if she comes back, she must be. The one who married the prince was planning to marry the prince who lost his wife."

Lorna suddenly said "Ah" and covered her mouth. After seeing George's strange look, he lowered his head and continued eating.

"Leiden turns out to be the younger brother of Earl of Thorns. No wonder he was appointed to guard Fallen Leaf City." The ancient gold coins flipped between George's fingers, and he suddenly nodded: "Then it seems that the Grand Duke Yongfeng and the Grand Duke Qiongying are in Vic White. With the combination, they should have formed an alliance."

Although I had spent some time in St. Wilmick's Cathedral before, as a young trainee priest, I really didn't know much about the Elda Kingdom where the church was located - and many years of memory had been lost.

Previously, he only vaguely remembered that when he was in the temple, he heard that the big boss who led the Thorn Birds troops was the Earl of Thorns, and his name was 'Jagger' or something. As for other things about this big star, he didn't know much about it. Generally speaking, only the nobles of Elda know something about this family's messy family background.

But as for the name 'Campbell', George was very familiar with it - Elizabeth's mother's surname was Campbell.

After all, Elizabeth was his dream girl when he was a child, so although she had been gone since she was a child and had eaten many of the things that a vassal should have memorized, she still had some impressions of these things.

Grand Duke Eagle, to put it bluntly, is the uncle of Elizabeth and Duchess Yongfeng.

The Duke was known as the Grand Duke of Skyhawk - but his opponents preferred to call him the Duke of Skywrath.

And if you open your tattered robe and reveal the armor on your chest, you can see the family emblem of the Duke of Wrath - a four-winged eagle minus two wings, abstracted and made of rose vines. look.

The old Earl Black Pearl made this magical modification not only to avoid violating taboos, but also to commemorate his wife. The relationship between the two families has always been long-standing. Marriage is not just once or twice.

Therefore, the value of Black Pearl can be regarded as having a very deep background, and it is also very ambitious.

The valley is located between the two Grand Dukes, which has allowed the Black Pearl family to remain firmly seated here.

To put it bluntly, Grand Duke Yongfeng and Grand Duke Qiongying still have a blood relationship - the royal families and nobles of various kingdoms have some blood relationships. But these two may be a little special.

Coupled with the fact that lips are cold and teeth are dead, if Wick White comes through, the Kingdom of Elda is indeed the southern country that is most likely to raise troops to help.

From the mouth of this noble knight, I learned that another country raising troops to help was the Kingdom of Landry. However, not many troops were sent, most of them were ships and resources.

Therefore, the distribution of interests involved is very complicated. No wonder Grand Duke Adeline turned a blind eye to the dirty transactions among the nobles - the Western Territory is indeed very short of food. It is very worthwhile to exchange the wealth of the fallen land for part of the food and part of the troops. It is also a compromise of interests.

"So, Grand Duke Eagle is also Elizabeth's biological uncle. Leiden and Jagger are Elizabeth's cousins. It's easy for Tanya and the others to come in. The relationship between these two families is not ordinary. , I visit often. Maybe Layton and Jagger even lived in Elizabeth’s house when they were young! Layton will definitely welcome them.”

George scratched his head. He didn't expect that Jagger, the big star he once admired so much in the church, would actually have such a close relationship with Gudi.

After thinking of Elizabeth, he also looked sad.

"Eat, eat." Looking at Lorna who had been absent-minded, George waved his hand and asked everyone to continue eating.

To be honest, he was also a little absent-minded. If the three countries gather the strength of the whole country, the Holy See will send a few more Knights Templar. There is really a chance to extinguish this black tide before the blood moon - let's not consider whether it will resurgence. But it is indeed very possible.

But now with this attitude - not to mention the useless old soldiers who are looking for fun, and not to mention the lords who are looting everywhere in the east, they are very scattered. Even the main supplies are being transported out of Luoye City!

I'm afraid even the peasant uprisings are more disciplined than this!

Moreover, as soon as the battle was halfway through, many people began to celebrate the victory in advance.

On the other hand, those demons may have been preparing and planning for this battle for countless years.

This is a hairline!

So after the noble knight left, George couldn't eat anything - even when the guy paid the bill for him, he just laughed a few times when he thought about the eight silver foxes he had saved. .

After finishing the meal, George wiped his mouth clean. He originally planned to go to the next door of the tavern to investigate, but finally led a few people out of the tavern and went to the street to get some fresh air.

The lively atmosphere on the street made him feel much more comfortable.

After estimating the time, Tanya and others were almost there. So a few people simply started shopping.

Next to it is the bustling blacksmith workshop, and he has always been curious about the blacksmith craftsmanship here. After all, there are many things that need to be supplemented in the shelter. And if they can make a lot of money in Luoye City later, these things will all be named "Austin"!

There are indeed many blacksmiths here, and there are many masters with extraordinary skills. So from noble lords to wandering knights and mercenaries, they are all willing to make a good armor here.

During the visit, George found that most of the weapons here are "black iron" - the hundred-refined steel in the mouth of Old Duke. This shows that the refining technology here is very advanced. And the key is that there is no alchemical furnace here. Most of them are made by folk methods.

And some people know how to forge "Uvatos steel". This made him very excited.

'If you can move into the shelter, it will really save costs! '

In addition, at the most famous blacksmith, George also found several fine gold weapons, and the craftsmanship they made was extremely advanced. It is not much inferior to the fine gold weapons made by Anthony using alchemical technology!

However, this thing is the treasure of the town shop. The boss hangs it here just to show off his skills and does not sell it.

The old man Rosgerd looked at the weapons and sighed: "It is amazing that the craftsmen of the people have reached such a level without relying on magic and alchemical technology."

Because it is not convenient to show the Book of Dawn here, the drawings of these weapons can only be missed regrettably-for now.

"Steal it for me at night!" Before leaving the blacksmith shop, George looked back at the stubborn boss and said to Aji angrily.

After coming up with this idea, several people went to the jewelry store to check it out.

This big house is very luxurious. From a distance, it looks like a small castle manor built in the city. The things sold inside are not only jewelry, but also various crafts and luxury goods.

In fact, this is also a club where nobles often gather. It is the property of a certain noble.

So at the door, the guards looked at the four people at the bottom of the stairs - the dark-skinned boy, the thief with shifty eyes, the old tramp, and the slovenly knight's squire, and "nicely" rejected them.

To be honest, George and his companions were covered in dust and dirt during the journey. Their clothes were already tattered. Even the flashy armor inside his clothes, because a layer of leather had been added to the surface, did not look very good after the leather was fluffy.

Remembering this place, George and his companions went to the tailor shop. The boss here obviously did not judge people by appearance. After seeing the silver foxes George threw out, he smiled happily. Not only did he give them several sets of clothes that were originally prepared for others, but he also lent them a room in the backyard so that they could wash themselves.

When they came out, everyone was finally decent and neat, and they felt refreshed.

When I walked out of the tailor shop, the patrolling cavalry was driving the crowd on the street, as if clearing the way for the people behind. The nervous look seemed to be that some important person had come.

This situation seemed to be more than the first time in Luoye City, and people stood on both sides of the street and watched the excitement with great interest.

"So the Earl went out of the city at noon to welcome him!" "Who is coming this time?" "Not many people can make Earl Leighton go out of the city in person!"

George and Aji looked at each other, and the look in their eyes was a little strange.
