Lord of Glory

In the Nari family's backyard. Paladin looked at the increasingly yellow sky, and immediately said with his hands behind his back: "To make a long story short, there are no outsiders now. Mr. Harvey, what kind of armor do you need?" Harvey was also direct, and he was not polite in this situation. : "Twenty pieces of chain armor and half plate armor. Plus twenty pieces of standard cross swords, hammers, and spears each!"

Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, Paladin immediately waved his hand and refused: "Impossible! Mr. Harvey, you must know. With the relationship between Kalechi and I, the armor is fine. If something goes wrong, the most you can do is rely on the relationship and get fined. But the weapons are Absolutely not! If word spreads, all three of us will be hanged! Even the Holy See will ignore me."

Harvey saw Paladin's decisiveness and knew that his temptation was purely unnecessary. Only then did he really say the request: "Forty pairs of armors, no weapons required. I will give you one hundred and fifty gold coins for each pair! How about it?" Paladin and Kalechi were shocked. After looking at each other, the former was a little surprised. Said: "I can't see it, Mr. Harvey. A group of 100 people can actually get 4,500 gold coins. You are really rich!"

Who knew that Harvey immediately waved his hand and said: "I didn't buy it for myself. I bought it for the people behind me. There are too many involved, so you'd better not ask. But in terms of price, we are very generous. Because In the future, I might even buy from you." Paladin and Kalechi immediately nodded in understanding. And in Paladin's mind, a thought became clearer: "This Harvey is employed by the principality, and the person who hired him must be a big noble. He spends so much money to build armor secretly. He just doesn't want other people to know... Could it be, really Is there going to be a war?”

However, this thought only flashed in his mind and was temporarily suppressed by Paladin. What we have to consider now is not whether to fight or not, but our own income. After all, without money, many paths will not work. Paladin nodded solemnly, and suddenly asked: "When do you want the goods?" "The sooner the better. It must not exceed two months."

Paladin thought about it and it was okay. For two months, it would not be a problem to find an unknown blacksmith to rush out the work. I looked at Kalechi and saw that he nodded in agreement. Then he said: "Okay, I'll give it to you in two months." Harvey nodded with satisfaction, but Paladin immediately added: "But I'm afraid you'll turn around, so I'll give you a thousand first." Kalechi's face looked a little ugly, After all, this Harvey was also his friend, so it was a bit embarrassing to ask for money in person. However, Harvey was generous and nodded immediately: "Yes, but one thousand gold coins is too much, and I can't hold it on my body. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will send someone to bring it to you."

At this time, they all agreed that they should leave before it was completely light. The Paladin suddenly stopped and looked at Harvey who was about to leave and asked: "Captain, if you can tell me, I would like to ask." "The priest said directly," "You bring a hundred people here, you are not just Just for the armor." Unexpectedly, Kalechi saw the hesitation on Harvey's face and immediately explained: "Harvey, tell me, we are all in the same boat."

Harvey nodded, and suddenly whispered ferociously: "Father, I only come out to do things for others. I don't do any good for myself. The World of Warcraft Forest sandwiched in the center of three countries is only more than ten days away from here. And The principality has also stipulated a limited number of imports and exports. The coveted profits on the way there are really huge. If I don't make a fortune from the nearby caravans, I would be really sorry for my subordinates who follow me around."

Paladin nodded immediately. Mercenaries are notoriously undisciplined and honorless troops. As long as it is profitable, he can change from a mercenary to a robber at any time. Think of the armies of many countries. In normal peacetime, the country does not take any special actions. Most soldiers will go to war-torn countries to become mercenaries for one side. Because they are not from this country, they will not have any psychological burden if they burn, kill, and loot. And the benefits are high. Therefore, many soldiers and even civilian mercenaries like to fight for other countries.

Paladin suddenly remembered the Philosopher's Stone and immediately said to Harvey: "If you capture a prisoner, please give it to me. I will pay five gold coins per person. This price is twice as high as the slaves in Adelili! How many do I have?" How much to charge.”

Not only was Harvey a little surprised, Kalechi also looked at Paladin in confusion. He couldn't figure out why Paladin wanted so many slaves, regardless of gender and age. But it's hard to interfere with other people's affairs, so I have to keep it in my heart. But the understanding of Paladin has become foggy again, and it becomes increasingly unclear. Although Harvey didn't understand what Paladin wanted to do, he had known the priest for less than an hour. He wanted to spend money while he wanted to make money. Why not do it? Harvey slapped his breastplate on his chest, nodded happily and said, "Don't worry, Father, I will try my best to catch beautiful women back for you." Paladin smiled incredulously, and walked away first.

That's how things ended. Paladin and Kalechi teamed up to announce that Nari, Kira and Doronl were behind the scenes. Frustrated, Doroner packed up his family property and fled from Nurba overnight. Although there was no news from him again. However, some people who went out said that Doroner was robbed by bandits on the way and had his head cut off.

No matter what, Paladin is very happy now. All the ironworks under the names of Doronel, Nari, Qira and Grandi have become his and Kalechi's property. Through Kalechi's decades of connections, he also secretly recruited some blacksmiths who specialized in black market transactions to help cast the armor. Moreover, Paladin had a premonition that the principality was about to go to war, and then Nurba's iron ore would flow into the principality in large quantities. You can make a lot of money yourself. At a rough count, Paladin gets sixty gold coins every month. This is much more than relying on donations from believers.

In the blink of an eye, seven days have passed. At this time in the church, Paladin was holding gauze and hemostatic medicine to bandage the wound on the arm of the young man lying on the hospital bed. "It hurts, it hurts!" The man on the bed had no name, and others called him Uka. In the dialect of the principality, it also means reckless. At this time, because he went hunting in the morning, he accidentally ran into a wild boar. He died only of a cut on his arm. With a wonderful smile on his face, Paladin applied the hemostatic medicine and gently tied the gauze on his hand.

Paladin breathed a sigh of relief, smiled brightly and said to Uka, who had improved his expression: "Okay, it's been bandaged. But you have to remember, you can't go hunting in the past few days, otherwise the wound will burst. , and it will become suppurative. Then it will be difficult to deal with." Uka stood up and really felt that his arm was much better. He looked at Paladin with a grateful face and said: "Oh! Father, thank you so much. But my family I don’t have much money, so I really don’t know what I can use to repay you.”

Paladin shook his head casually, carefully lifted Uka and brought it to the door. "There is no need to thank you. I am already very happy to participate in tomorrow's mass as a believer." "Don't worry, Father, I will definitely do it." Come." Uka looked gratefully at the priest who was no older than him, but he was filled with a feeling of reverence.

"Hey! Father." Just as Paladin was about to go back to the church, an aunt came over with a bag of fruits and vegetables, handed it to Paladin and said, "Thank you for officiating my daughter's wedding last time. Look at what you usually eat. The food is not very good. I will give you, Father, a taste of these home-grown fruits, vegetables and potatoes." "How can this be so embarrassing?" Paladin looked a little embarrassed, but he took the basket in his hand. But at this moment, a familiar figure walked over.
