"So you said this is what makes money, but it doesn't seem to be very far from Camelot. If you start guarding here, you shouldn't get much money..." Miss Donkey Kelly thought for a while and said: "It's like a job like a mercenary, but the commission is also set according to the difficulty."

"No! It's a lot of money!" The little boy opened his hands exaggeratedly.

"Is it a lot? Is it a silver coin?" Arthur looked at the little boy's expression and guessed. If it was really a silver coin, he could consider traveling with them. If the board and lodging can be covered during the journey, of course is the best.

"Ten gold coins!"

"If this is the case... huh?! Ten gold coins!? From here to Camelot?" Arthur looked at the little boy in front of him in surprise.

"Ten gold coins! My God, I finally don't have to eat fruit anymore, I want to eat steak..." Artoria pointed her fingers, as if she was already imagining the delicious steak in front of her eyes.

"This is already a pit in the head. There is so much money that you have to find a way to send money, right? From here to Camelot, all the way along the King's Road, no matter how you think about it, there is no danger!" Miss Donkey also said. expressed his surprise.

"I'm not very clear about this, but that big brother who looks very strong is indeed right." The little boy also seemed to want these ten gold coins, but for anyone There is no possibility of hiring a young boy as a guard.

"Ahem, it sounds acceptable, and I can go and see it with you for now." Arthur coughed twice, trying not to look so excited.

"Okay! I'll take you there now. My mother is also working there. I'm going to show my father's letter!" The little boy excitedly pulled Arthur's clothes and walked out.

The three of Arthur also walked out with the little boy. If there were really jobs for ten gold coins, there was no need to continue doing these temporary jobs.

The place the little boy mentioned is not very far away. In fact, it is less than 10 minutes' walk from the village. There is a stretch of orchards connected together, surrounded by wooden fences.

"We have arrived!"

The little boy said with a slightly excited tone.

no.219 A knight who looks like a middle school student

(When I got home, my whole body was sunburned, my shoulders, thighs and belly were already two colors, and it was still burning hot, I suffered!)

In the manor in winter, rows of fruit trees are surrounded by fences. Workers in the orchard hold iron knives and stand on the stairs, trimming the excess branches and leaves of the fruit trees. Occasionally, the fruit trees are completely dead. Workers will also chop down the trunk with an ax, and the cut trees will be used to make weapons, houses, furniture, etc.

The nobles have their own territories. In addition to collecting taxes from the people in the territories, many nobles also obtain additional income through orchards, farms, or control of mine veins, wood, and business.

For example, Arthur once met the family of the knight Isaac Judson in the territory of Earl Buena Moore. The Judson family is a business family belonging to the south of the Kingdom of Wessex. It trades with the European continent through sailing, and controls The commercial trade in the British Strait has obtained rich funds. Of course, there are many families competing with it in this field.

"mom!"

The little boy named Xiao Douding found a very ordinary woman among a group of workers, with typical Celtic blond hair and white skin, but because of malnutrition, she looked a little gray Feel.

"En? How did you get here?" The woman heard Xiao Douding's shout, turned her head to look over, put down the scissors in her hand, and then saw Arthur and Artoria: "Are you Who?"

The other workers also noticed Arthur's side, but they didn't say anything, and continued to rush to their work.

"Mom! This is a letter from Dad!" Before Arthur could answer, Xiao Douding on the side had already handed the envelope in front of his mother with a look of excitement.

"Where did you come from?" The woman looked a little shocked at Arthur, and then looked at Arthur and Artoria with a sad look: "Please, I don't have copper coins, and the work only pays me Apples and coarse bread, I don't really have any coppers."

As if startled by the woman's voice, some workers who looked like they knew the woman temporarily put down their work and stood aside. Although they hadn't said a word yet, judging from their expressions, it was It can already be seen that they have a little bit of hostility towards Arthur.

"Do we look like people who collect money? Although I don't care if you give me money, but this little boy has already told us that you have no money, and this letter does not need your money." " Arthur shook his hand and explained.

"Yes mother! Big brother and big sister are good people!" Xiaodouding said excitedly, and then saw Miss Donkey who was fighting beside him, and added: "By the way, there is Miss Donkey. "

"That's right, thank you so much, I will try my best to pay the bill with food, although I may not have a lot of food at one time..." The woman bowed her head deeply.

The short-lived commotion here seems to have caught the attention of the manager of the manor. A man dressed in a standard gray long coat for a nobleman's servant, with white leg straps, and muddy boots, was standing there. Nodding his head, he walked towards Arthur with a notebook in his hand. To be precise, he was heading in the direction of Xiaodouding and his mother.

"I don't remember that our honorable Duke of Putaitou allowed his farm workers to chat with family members or casual people at will while working."

The tall man with his head held high, the workers all lowered their heads a little bit in fear, and soon, they returned to their posts one after another.

"Then, the duke can save a little more food this month."

The servant of the nobleman in front of him took a pen, opened the book, drew a line on a certain page, and then closed it again with a "snap".

"Wait, isn't it time to rest now? Why are you so strict during the rest time?" Hearing what the man in front of him said, Xiao Douding shouted a little excitedly, his voice only raised a little at first, and then quickly down.

"En?" The man seemed surprised by the voice of resistance, then glanced at Xiao Douding, and said unhurriedly: "Even if you work for the Duke full-time, you shouldn't have any complaints, it seems You can also save a little food for the next month."

While talking, the man opened the book again, and then drew a slash.

"Wait! Please! I beg you, we can't do this, we will starve to death if this continues! My husband has already served as the Duke's harbinger, and my fields are also turned over to the Duke as war taxes. Yes, please!"

The woman suddenly knelt down in front of the man, begging bitterly, and Xiao Douding also knelt down beside the woman.

Arturia frowned, her right hand was slightly back, and it was quite close to the saber.

"Ah, by the way, if you don't say this, I can't remember it." With a smile, the man suddenly raised his head a little too high: "There are still other things that you haven't paid. What about the finished war tax? This is a major matter related to the survival of this country. Your little land is not enough to pay the tax at all. It allows you to work here for the Duke as a credit for the remaining tax. Giving you so much food is already kindness among kindnesses! But now that you think about it, you don’t appreciate such kindness at all, so next month’s..."

Before the man finished speaking, Arturia's right hand touched the hilt of the sword, but before Arturia could finish her action, a knight in silver armor came out Already standing behind that man.

"I think that the citizen of the Duke of Putaitou didn't make any major mistakes. Cutting food for two months at once is already quite a harsh punishment."

A head of short pale golden hair tied into a simple ponytail, a delicate face, looks quite handsome, the silver armor is gleaming, it is obvious that it will be finely cleaned and polished every day, and the unpretentious long sword is Although the dark gray scabbard was incompatible with the high-profile and gorgeous armor, coupled with the bandages wrapped around the knight's right hand, it still made this feeling of incompatibility a little bit more.

All in all, the knight in front of him is full of knights with an explosive second-level sense.

"Lord Kai..." Hearing the voice of the knight behind him, the man holding the notebook and pen frowned slightly: "But ah, the job requirements are set by the Duke himself. It is very difficult to control these laborers or my account to the Duke.”

"Although it was decided by the Duke, isn't it all for the frontline to resist the invaders? As far as I know, the husband of the woman in front of me has already taken up arms and walked to the frontline, and she also contributed I don’t need any compensation to work on the Duke’s apple farm after leaving my own land, I think this is enough.”

The knight named Kai said so calmly, with a slightly neutral voice, coupled with Kai's handsome face, there is actually no deterrent force of force.

But the man holding the notebook gritted his teeth, and seemed a little hesitant: "But if we use the leftover food to feed this woman and this child, the supplies from the front line..."
