Rise In Calradia

<div;quot;read2">　　 "So, can't find my dinars?"

Byron stared at the messenger in front of him. Although his expression did not change, everyone around him felt that Tao Lei was about to explode.

"Yes, my lord, please forgive me. We didn't know that it was your thing. We thought they were robbers at first. We fought with them and drove them away and killed one of them. Then we saw your pattern in those empty boxes. Chapter. Let’s hunt them down, but it’s too late and we can’t catch them anymore. Please forgive me, sir.”

The soldiers knelt on the ground with their heads down and one knee, answering Byron's questions very carefully. Behind them were three empty boxes that had been smashed, and a wooden hoop and iron box that had been damaged to some extent but remained closed.

"do you have anything else?"

"There are also some worthless pieces of lead, but something is wrong, and we got them back." A few drops of sweat dripped on the soldiers' cheeks, obviously knowing how much their negligence had caused. Although they can't be blamed for this, but who knows whom Baron Byron will vent when he starts the fire.

"Well, I see. I did not tell you that there are my treasures. You can't be considered guilty. I declare that you are not guilty as long as you have not lied. Go back and return to your previous post. You are seeing it. After those boxes, I did not covet my wealth. Your loyalty deserves to be rewarded. Go to my clerk, and he will give you a sum of money for travel expenses and bonuses."

Byron waved his hand, and the soldiers heaved a sigh of relief, and retreated as they thanked. They were thankful for not being punished, and it was a surprise to have the rewards. Byron praised their loyalty, but they knew that they had dreamed of getting rich overnight, but they knew that their lives would never survive the day they could spend the money.

"Before the prisoners were caught, my loss was irreparable. Fortunately, these criminals did not take all the dinars."

Byron waved his hand, let go of the fast-deforming silver cup he was holding, and calmed his mood. Jamila and Fatis, holding the key, opened the last box together, and the soldiers who had been ordered by Byron also immediately started to grind off the outer layer of the lead block.

Soon, the box was opened, and it was filled with silver dinar coins, gold dinars, silver bullion, and heavy gold bars, stacked from the bottom of the box to the top of the box. And those lead blocks finally revealed their true colors. Although they were polluted by lead, the golden brilliance would not make people mistakenly admit it.

"The last box was buried the deepest and heaviest, because I hid the most precious of these treasures inside. Some of the lead nuggets were also lead-plated gold nuggets. This did waste a little gold, but it did It worked. I buried 120,000 dinars worth of wealth in the ground. They took most of them. Fortunately, there were some survivors. I took this account down, but we still have to deal with the current troubles now. Yami Ra, I’ll give you the remaining dinars. Reduce consumption and save your life. I have a lot of dinars in other places, but no amount of gold and silver can withstand the current consumption. I will Leave this to you, and hope you won’t let me down."

"I will do my best."

Jamila nodded and accepted the key that Byron gave her. It was the key to Byron’s cash box and the deposit of the Peony Mercenary Group. Byron’s handing over the key to her meant giving her all his financial items. Up her.

"I agree with your idea, and also agree with your kind handling of those soldiers. But with all due respect, sir, there is one thing you haven't solved yet, and there is someone you haven't dealt with yet."

At this time, Elaine, who had brought the important letter to Byron, couldn't help but insert a word, and Byron also turned his attention to him.

"Who are you talking about?"

"Who? Of course it is John! That big John, your former confidant, he broke his vow and made a rebellious move that caused you to suffer a huge loss, even if it was not the mastermind, this is a crime that should be hanged!" Ai Ren said very seriously.

"John? Indeed, I was dazzled by anger just now and I forgot about it. Indeed, the handling of him is very important, and I need to think about it carefully." Byron nodded lightly, frowning tightly. From the start, it was a tangled performance.

"You have forgiven many people, and your name of kindness has spread far away. John's fault has become a reality. Even if he kills him, this matter cannot be resolved. Moreover, his wife and children were coerced and he was forced to do this. I believe that he did not intend to betray you. Otherwise, he will not send you a letter to inform you of everything. If he truly regrets it, it is not impossible to forgive his crime." On the other side, Fati Sis stood up and gave a very different suggestion.

"But the vow is precious because it cannot be broken! Fatis, you should know this very well. For whatever reason, he betrayed Lord Byron, betrayed his vow to protect his life. I understand him for his wife and children, but he himself must die! He should have realized this long ago!" Eleon also stood up and confronted Fatis **** for tat.

"But if you forgive him, our benevolent adults will receive a lot of praise and the support of the soldiers. They will serve for Lord Byron like a son guarding his father. Warriors from all sides will also come here. , This is something that gold cannot buy."

"Really? Really?" Elaine was very disdainful of Fatis' defense: "Let’s not say whether this reputation is good or bad. Forgiving his crime is the greatest evil to our troops! Everyone has it! Family, Fatis, but if they all use various reasons to justify their betrayal, what would our troops look like? Lord Byron’s previous behavior was so merciful, how many times have forgiven the betrayers, but How many traitors are there so far? It’s uncountable! We must tell them whoever they are, how much credit and favor they have in the past, betrayal will have to pay the heaviest price! I admire John, he is a good fighter, but He has to pay the price." Elaine's statement was very powerful, and everyone supported his opinion. Jamila was silent, and Fattis knew that he could not continue to refute, and reluctantly walked to Byron's body. Before, he knelt on the ground on one knee and interceded for his good friend who had fought side by side for a long time and had formed a deep friendship.

"Ireen makes sense. Some crimes cannot be forgiven. But I know you treat him as a friend, and so do I. He saved your life on the battlefield and helped us escape several times. He carried the peony banner and followed. You have traveled all over Calradia and have never tarnished that flag. For the sake of a friend, please spare his life. I beg you, sir."

Fatis' attitude was humble and sincere, abandoning all the demeanor that a knight should have. And Byron remained silent, thinking, ready to make the final decision. . .
