Chapter 146 The Earl of Gray Water Castle feels that he is too smart!
Next spring...
The moment Leon's words fell, Fast's eyes suddenly widened.
In his eyes, this is undoubtedly a very special time point.
The civil war in the Andal Kingdom has come to an end, and the entire kingdom has ushered in precious peace. However, Leon Jimena, Marquis of Antolia, said that in the spring of next year, the mercenaries of Antolia will have the ability to reward the battlefield. Chance? !
For a moment, Fast seemed to realize something, so much so that his body couldn't help but tremble.
Because he thought of a possibility!
That's the abandoned place on the other side of the mountains!
Explore the Abandoned Lands, a top secret among Antolia's top secrets.
Although the preparation of Remit Raskova's red magic potion, that is, the small red bottle, requires the use of red cordyceps from the abandoned land, but whether the abandoned land should be developed or not, what is on the other side of the mountains.
This question is still a mystery in the land of Antolia.
So throughout Antolia, apart from Leon, there are only a handful of people who know about the abandoned land exploration plan.
And Fast, who is the priest of Lapluk, is one of them!
This was the promise Leon made to the old Lapruk priest when he gathered the mountain people!
It's just that...
at that time, Leon was still an ordinary border viscount, and the Jimena family had not yet made a name for itself in the Kingdom of Andal.
Therefore, in Leon's promise, the date he gave is not actually next year.
Within three years, we will cross the continuous mountains; within ten years, we will look at the ruins of Yalan in the distance!
These are the exact words Leon assured Fast in his letter! (Note: Chapter 26)
Now, the spread of black mist forced Leon to put the construction of the shadow manipulator on the agenda, and the exploration of the abandoned land can naturally be accelerated!
Fast never thought that Leon would have preliminary thoughts on exploring the abandoned land in such a short period of time.
Spring comes next year!
When the time comes, the Lapluk people must be at the forefront!
All the Antolian mercenaries and Antolian militia have to stand back!
No matter what is in the abandoned land, no matter what threats the Lapruk tribe will face, returning to the land where their ancestors once lived has always been the long-cherished wish of the Lapluk tribe's priests for generations!
Obviously, Stan was also shocked by Leon's words.
The only difference is that Stein doesn't know why he will have the opportunity to go to the battlefield in the next spring.
However, since the Marquis said there is, then there must be!
Stain has never doubted his lord's words, let alone getting to the bottom of them.
"Yes!"
Stan said without hesitation.
Anyway, his purpose of coming here was purely to make his presence felt in front of the lord from home, in case Leon forgot about him.
Therefore, what Leon said was completely an unexpected surprise for Stein.
"Hurry up and train! Practice hard! There will be a war next year!"
On the way back, Stan said happily to the mercenaries beside him.
...
Standing on the wall of Gray Water Castle, the heart of Eli Wayne, Count of Gray Water Castle, was actually extremely complicated.
As the closest earldom to Antolia, when Antolia not far away was shrouded in a translucent hemispherical light curtain, the knights loyal to the Wayne family broke the explosive news. Brought to Eli Wayne.
And when he walked quickly up the wall of Gray Water Castle with his round belly, the curtain of light that enveloped Antolia had not completely dissipated.
"How many trump cards do the Antolians hide..."
After his face was blurred by the cold wind of early winter, the round earl finally couldn't help but murmured.
During this period of time, he had indeed decided to hold Antolia's thigh tightly and welcome the new largest noble in the south of the kingdom with a new mentality and ultimate loyalty.
It is precisely because of this that this lively count did not hesitate to sign a series of new business agreements with the young marquis from Antolia.
From moon velvet to Antolian iron, from routine daily necessities to important strategic resources.
Taking advantage of Gray Water Castle's unique location advantage, Eli Wayne did not hesitate to become a second-hand dealer of Antolian goods, striving to make the Wayne family the import and export dealer of Antolian goods.
In order to achieve this goal, he even took the initiative to extend the mercenary agreement signed with the Antolian people during the cold winter last year and started outsourcing city defense.
Because he had already thought about it.
The Gray Water Castle was so close to Antolia, so the young Marquis was extremely open-minded enough to cooperate with him regardless of previous suspicions. There was really no need for him to jump up and down and make small moves.
In addition to retaining family guards directly under the Wayne family, it is better to directly spend money to let Antolia's army take over the city defense of Gray Water Castle.
In this way, if something happens to Gray Water Castle, it means something happens to Antolia.
By using the money originally spent on hiring militiamen to hire the Antorian army, the Wayne family's rule over Gray Water Castle might be more stable under the shadow of the Jimena family.
It is also under the guidance of this idea that all the guards inside and outside Gray Water Castle, except for the Wayne family's lord's castle, walking through the city walls and streets are reserve mercenaries from Antolia.
However...
when he saw the curtain of light rising from Antolia, the Earl of Gray Water Castle thought that he had been a little too conservative before.
The former Duke of Galicia was indeed awesome, and the former Braves family was indeed powerful.
But wasn't he still beaten by Leon's combination of punches and turned into ashes?
"Kolunde!"
Eli Wayne turned around, looked at the silly boy standing behind him, finally made up his mind, and then said very seriously:
"I would like to recommend you to become Leon Hime The noble knight's attendant!"
The noble heir went to serve as a waiter beside the great noble.
It is actually an extremely common thing in this day and age.
Not only can he show his loyalty to the lord, but he might also be able to establish a good relationship with his future lord.
If you can get the attention of the lord, then it will undoubtedly be an extremely valuable opportunity!
Therefore, this was not actually a decision that the Earl of Gray Water Castle made immediately.
"Of course!"
"I've wanted to go for a long time!"
After hearing this, Kolend Wayne immediately agreed enthusiastically, as if he was afraid that his Earl father would regret it.
The Antolian people's tough style is very contagious. As a young fan who once went north with Leon, Kelunde Wayne has already heard countless stories from the Antolian soldiers. Curious anecdotes about Antolia.
Coupled with the huge bird legs that he saw at the banquet and the dried hound meat that he was given as a gift before leaving...
Kolund did not feel the slightest resistance to his father's decision.
He has long wanted to go bird hunting in the southwestern highlands!
It's just that...
looking at his eldest son's eagerness to try, the Earl of Gray Water Castle suddenly became a little hesitant.
After this kid arrives in Antolia, he shouldn't cause anything, right?
