The promise of slow wear for the rest of your life

The old butler gave him such a problem, with the intention of making him recognize a few more characters after learning arithmetic.

But the little guy's focus is a bit strange.

After talking about the results he calculated, he asked Arnold: "Uncle, why did Alex kill so many geese at one time? Did he finish eating?"

Arnold said with a smile: "One person definitely can't finish it. However, he can still sell it."

Elliott suddenly realized something: "That's right. He should have bought the goose cubs with the copper coins he got from selling the big goose."

"It's very possible." Arnold nodded with a smile, affirming his thoughts.

The two of them chatted and the sky became dark.

Elijah led Eligot back to the small building to rest.

Arnold did not go back to the castle bedroom, but turned around and went to the back of the castle.

The large open space behind the castle also belongs to the land of the manor.

There, Arnold didn't let people open up wasteland to plant crops, but only let people transport a batch of dry firewood every few days and pile them up.

After leaving Dragon Island and coming to the human race gathering place, the frequency of Olgus' appearance has decreased a lot.

At the beginning, it still appeared every three to five days, but recently it only appeared once every ten days and a half months.

However, although the frequency of his appearance has decreased a lot, the amount of barbecue he eats each time has also increased a lot.

In the past, Arnold only needed to light two or three more fires to finish roasting the prey he brought back.

Now Arnold needs to light at least ten fires and work all night long before he can finish roasting the prey he brought back.

Often after such a night, Arnold will be too tired to get up the next day.

Tonight, no accident, it was the same again.

Because not long after he came to the backyard, Olgus appeared with more than a dozen large prey.

It took Arnold a lot of effort just to bloodlet these prey, disembowel and skin cramps.

In addition, there is a lack of wood in the territory, and the dry firewood used for the fire is all dried brambles.

Not to mention the low firepower of the fire ignited by those thorns, firewood had to be added frequently.

Arnold adds firewood and flips the barbecue by himself. From time to time, he has to skewer the meat to prepare for the next skewer. He is so busy that he can hardly tell the north from the south.

When he was really too busy, he also thought about calling some servants to come over to help add firewood or something.

It's a pity that those slaves were so frightened that their legs were weak when they saw Orgus from a distance, and they didn't even dare to get closer.

Not to mention, let them stay close to Olgus and help add firewood.

Moreover, no one dared to come close to help even if it was Semid and the others who were more courageous and stronger.

The same goes for the old butler and Nick.

They all said that the aura exuding from Orgus was terrifying.

Anol didn't notice it at all.

Without relying on others, Arnold can only work alone.

Fortunately, when it came to a point where he was too busy, Orgus himself would condescend to help.

Otherwise, he can only wait to eat those barbecued meats that are not delicious enough due to various reasons such as insufficient firepower.

After a busy night, the two had no communication again.

Arnold was completely busy and didn't have time to talk distractedly.

As for why Orgus didn't say anything, it's not known.

Because Olgus brought back too many prey this time, Arnold was busy until noon the next day before finishing roasting the prey.

Olgus ate the last piece of barbecue slowly, then waved his sleeves and left without taking a cloud.

Anol stayed where he was and rested for a while before he recovered.

After simply cleaning up the mess and returning to the castle, Arnold endured his exhaustion and took a shower, then fell headfirst on the bed and fell into a dark sleep, not knowing what year it was.

At this time, the old housekeeper would instruct Nick to strictly guard the bedroom door on the second floor, trying not to let anyone disturb Arnold's rest.

After more than a dozen magic hours, Arnold walked out of the bedroom with a pale face, like a ghost.

Seeing this, Nick ran downstairs in a hurry and asked someone to inform the kitchen to bring hot food and soup as soon as possible.

At this time, the servants and soldiers who heard his yelling will know that their master has finally woken up.

The old butler will appear after Arnold enters the study after eating meals, and will report to him the progress of the work in the past two days.

The captain of the knight, the chief of the attendants, and the captain of the infantry team will sit upright in the reception room of the castle, waiting for the summons.

In the study, Arnold heard from the old housekeeper that the entourage had successfully bought enough food, and a lot of them returned safely, and his eyes brightened immediately.

"Great. Basil, you have worked hard these past two days. Please go and summon the chief attendant to come and tell me what they have seen and heard along the way."

"It's not hard work, it should be." The old housekeeper smiled and said: "Master, please wait a moment."

Not long after, the chief attendant, Sarri, came to the study.

Arnold carefully looked at the head of the attendant, who was even more tanned, and said in a gentle voice: "Sari, you have worked hard for this month."

Sari shook his head solemnly and said, "It should be. Your Excellency is polite."

Anol said in an extremely gentle tone: "After running back and forth twice, have you ever been attacked by robbers and ogres?"

Sarri said: "When I came back, I was attacked by robbers once or twice. I also encountered three or four ogre attacks. Fortunately, there were no surprises."

"No one was seriously injured?"

"No. There were only a few minor injuries."

"That's good. Later, you remember to ask the injured person to go to the housekeeper to get some wound medicine for healing."

"Thank you for the reward, my lord!" Sarri said and saluted him.

Anol accepted it calmly, and Fang said: "Sarri, please tell me carefully what you have seen and heard along the way."

"Your order, my lord." Sarri responded, "After we set off from the manor, we rode our horses all the way, and it took only two days to leave Thorn Ridge and set foot on Xijin Ridge, which borders Thorn Ridge. "

"Afterwards, while we were on our way to the nearest city and county, we asked the locals there about the price of local grain, the location of the local nobles and grain merchants, and so on."

"Perhaps it was because we were all cavalry, and the people there didn't dare to hide anything. Afterwards, we successfully found the noble residence in that territory through inquiring about the news, and bought two pieces from him at the market price. Car food."

"Later, we used the same method to go to Xitong County, which borders the west of Xijinling, and bought a total of 22 carts of grain from several nobles there."

"In the end, it took us about half a month to rush back to the territory day and night."

The chief attendant explained in detail the process of their food purchase, but this was not the news that Arnold wanted to hear.

"You have done a good job on this matter." After Arnold affirmed his ability to work, in order to get more news he wanted to hear, he had no choice but to ask: "Have you ever heard that Xijinling and Xitong County Are there any special products for sale?"

"I've heard. Xijin Ridge is rich in rare metal ores. Most of the rare metal ores they mine need to be handed over to the kingdom."

"Only a small part will be sold to the Magicians Association, as well as individual merchants and alchemists who go to buy rare metal ores."

"Tin Copper County is divided into several noble territories. Some territories are rich in copper mines, some are rich in tin mines, and some are rich in iron mines. The ores they mined also need to be handed over to the kingdom. A small part can be left for sale.”

"They are all rich in metal mines." Arnold said slightly disappointed.

The chief attendant suddenly understood what news Anol wanted to hear, and then said: "In addition, we have also heard some news about several other territories."

"Sanggu County, which borders the southern part of Xijinling, is rich in fine grains, timber for construction, grass and wood for papermaking, paper and various forages, as well as common vegetables, fruits and various types of textiles. Tammy, which borders eastern part of Xijinling The county is rich in all kinds of coarse grains, grain and oil, and various types of textiles made of silk, hemp, and cotton."

"Wuguo County, bordering on the south of Xitong County, is rich in all kinds of common and rare fruits, as well as wood for furniture and fruit wood. Lanhai County, bordering on the west of Xitong County, is rich in various spices and writing inks. Seafood and sea salt."

"The south of Wuguo County and Lanhai County are unowned lands, which belong to the Warcraft Forest, and there are a large number of Warcraft entrenched in it."

"After we heard the news, we originally wanted to go to Sanggu County, which is rich in fine grains in the south of the Xijin territory, to buy grain. However, we were worried that we would not be able to make it back in time. We did not dare to go too far out of the Xijin territory, so we only bought A lot of coarse grains came back."

After hearing the news that he wanted to hear, Arnoldton felt in a good mood, "You have done a good job. This time you have solved the urgent need of the territory, which is really a great achievement."

When Anol said this, the conversation suddenly changed, and he said solemnly: "Surrey's chief attendant, are you willing to abide by the eight virtues of knights and swear allegiance to this lord?"

Hearing this, Sarri's heartbeat accelerated suddenly, and he quickly knelt on one knee and said, "Your subordinate will abide by the eight virtues of knighthood, and swear allegiance to the lord to the death!"

"Very good." Arnold got up, walked around the long office desk, stood in front of Sarri, drew out his sword, touched the back of his neck and shoulders with the back of the sword, and said: "Sari, my lord is here Give you the title of knight. I hope you will always abide by the eight virtues of knights and never forget today's oath."

After saying that, Arnold took back his sword, took two steps back, and said, "Stand up as a knight! Knight of Surrey."

"Subordinates obey."

Sarri stood up and looked up.

It was only then that A Nuoer realized that this grown man who was over [-] years old had tears streaming down his face.

Seeing this, Arnold was slightly stunned, and then ignored the other party's embarrassment of unspeakable excitement and tears, and said: "Surrey Knight, please summon the other nineteen middle cavalrymen who have made great contributions to come to accept this Lord's reward."

Sarri made a farewell ceremony, choked up and said, "My lord, please wait a moment."

A few minutes later, nineteen soldiers gathered in the study.

Arnold didn't ask any more questions, and directly conferred knight titles on all of them at once after they took the oath of allegiance.
