Pero Hermon sat at the desk, subconsciously fiddling with a piece of exquisite parchment in his hand. It was a program list delivered by the Long Opera House every weekend afternoon. If he were normal, he would definitely choose the drama he liked, ask the housekeeper to pay the deposit, and then give the invitation to Sherry.
But he didn't read a word now.
Today is the seventh day of the war. If it goes well, my father should have returned with the Duke yesterday.
Maybe it was delayed on the road, maybe it was because people were tired and horses were tired, so I had a day off in the border town?
He comforted himself, but the uneasiness in his heart was slowly expanding.
The fourth prince Roland Wimbledon left a deep impression on him, and Pelo even felt incredible why such an outstanding prince had extremely bad reputations in the king.
He has a bad personality, a playboy, incompetent, ignorant...every evaluation is different from the prince he knows.
It is precisely this that his uneasiness is so strong.
He was afraid that the Duke would lose to him.
Master Peiluo, the housekeeper shouted outside the door, "There is a letter from the fortress."
The fortress came from?Pelo was stunned for a moment, take it in quickly.
The first sentence on the letter made Pelo stunned.
This is a letter written by the Fourth Prince!
Duke Osmondlein attacked his king's territory with force, attempting to rebel, but failed.The Duke himself has been sentenced to the battlefield, and now the Changge Fortress has been brought to my hands.
The Duke was defeated?His heart sank violently, and he looked down.
Most of the Duke Ryan's accomplices, except for a few diehards, have surrendered and pleaded guilty.
The rebellion of the royal family should have been executed, but this king is kind and only punishes evil heads and unforgivable people. The rest of the participants can use money to redeem the captured persons according to previous war customs.
The exchange location is in the Lord Castle of Changge Fortress, the following is the list.
This official document is extremely awkward to make a sentence. It is not a language for foreign communication, but I want to express it to understand the meaning that the duke failed to rebellion and wanted to capture it, so he exchanged it for money.
Pelo's gaze moved slightly, and his father's name suddenly appeared in the first row.
Hedis!He shouted the butler's name, prepare the car, I'm going to the fortress castle!
……
The territory of the Count of Honeysuckle was east of the fortress, and when Pero arrived at the castle area, it was half an hour later.
The lord castle was filled with militias he had never seen before. They had no shiny iron armor, no cloak or ribbon, and held a strangely shaped short stick in their hands, with sharp spears inserted at the top.
Just standing in two rows with neat and straight heads raised, he felt a compelling momentum.
After reporting his identity, Pero was taken into the garden and then taken to the castle hall by a guard.
He has been here many times, but today, he feels like he has stepped into a completely unfamiliar realm. The guards on the aisle have never seen faces before. No one nodded and smiled at him, but looked at him expressionlessly.
At the entrance of the hall, a knight came up to him.
Your name?
Pero Hermon, Pero replied slightly unhappily, he did not like such interrogative conversations, so he emphasized again, Sir Helmon.
Oh, the other party seemed to disagree and looked through the list in his hand. Count Charafe Helmont is yours...
Father.
I was disrespectful, the Knight said this, but his expression was not apologized. I am Catlanis, the chief knight of the Fourth Prince.Please come to the side room first, we need to check if you have any weapons.
After searching, Pelo's Stone of Divine Punishment was also taken down by the guards.
That's not a weapon, Pero reminded.
Of course not, the Knight nodded. We will give it back to you after the meeting, don't worry.
He opened his mouth and finally endured it.
return?
The stone of divine punishment is considered the best, worth at least fifty golden dragons. It is impossible not to replace it with a defective one in the other party’s hands.
Forget it, he thought, just treat it as part of the ransom.
Walking into the hall, the fourth prince was sitting in the main seat and writing something.He looked up and saw Pelo, and then smiled and said, "We're meeting again, Mr. Ambassador."
Still with the familiar face and tone, Pelo also relaxed a little, bowed and said, "I'll say hello to you, Your Highness."
Let's sit down, Roland raised his hand and signaled him to take his seat. You must have known what happened.Your father was not hurt, he was one of the first to surrender.
Thanks to Your Highness for your kindness, Pelo quickly said, I don’t know how much ransom your Highness wants, as long as honeysuckle can be taken out, I will immediately send the money.
I don't need money, Roland shook his finger, I want livestock and people.
It is normal to ask livestock. Even fifty years ago, the conflict between lords ended with the loser's compensation for cattle and sheep. Pelo has seen this more than once in the book.
But...what does it mean to ask for someone?
Your Highness, there are many cattle, sheep, horses, and honeysuckle territory. As for the person you mentioned...
It's very simple. I want the mason, stonemason, carpenter, farmer, and serf. The prince handed over a roll of paper. You can convert it according to the above value, as long as the total number is over 3,000.He smiled, and by the way, since the Earl can be regarded as the largest title in the capture, the value is also the highest.
Pelo spread the paper rolls on the table.
I saw that it was full of occupational categories and livestock species, followed by a number, such as: cattle 3, sheep 2, stonemason 10, etc. He immediately understood what the other party meant.
The value of three thousand means that one thousand cows, or three hundred stonemasons, can only redeem their father.
Of course, there were not so many cattle and stonemasons in his territory, and just arranging and combining items on paper would lead to many choices. As a nobleman who deals with trade every day, Pelo instantly realized that there was a lot of work to do here.
Just give him a few days, he can calculate the optimal solution and meet the requirements of the 3,000-point value with the minimum cost.
Your Highness, can I...
One day, I can only give you one day. Roland stretched out a finger, which only refers to the time you make a choice. After all, it is impossible to collect so many supplies and people without three or four days.And I won't stay here all the time, and I'll leave here after a week at most.
But one day was really...Pelo was stunned and looked at the prince with wide eyes. Wait, you just said... Are you leaving?What does this mean?
If the letter was not written incorrectly, the duke had already died on the battlefield, and the Changge Fortress was all under the hands of His Highness. He actually said he wanted to leave. Isn’t this place even better than that small and broken border town?
No, this is not the point at all!
The point is that if His Highness leaves, who will manage this magnificent city?
A storm broke out in his heart, and the duke's children inherited it?
Thinking about it, you know that this is absolutely impossible. Are you waiting for them to re-summon the army to avenge their father?
Besides the five great masters of the Ryan family, are they other noble families?
That's right, Roland nodded, I will bring the ransom and return to the border town.
A thought suddenly surged in his mind, and once this thought appeared, it could no longer be suppressed.
Your Highness, Pelo swallowed and asked in a low voice, "Is there a value for redemption of the Long Song Fortress?"
But he didn't read a word now.
Today is the seventh day of the war. If it goes well, my father should have returned with the Duke yesterday.
Maybe it was delayed on the road, maybe it was because people were tired and horses were tired, so I had a day off in the border town?
He comforted himself, but the uneasiness in his heart was slowly expanding.
