Chapter 57

When Donne was thinking about how to refine medicine for the guard at home, uncle Depp, who had already set out, did not stop for a moment. He traveled all night. It would have taken five or six days, but he arrived in only three days.

Castle palmy is located in the north of Ellington, where the ladhian hills disappear, while the west is the remnant of the ambris mountains. Castle palmy is located on the hillside of one of the remnant. The whole mountain is tightly wrapped by a castle dozens of meters high. Several villages are scattered around, and farmers working in the fields can be seen vaguely.

Just from the appearance, we know that caspamiburg is much better than Ellington.

Generally speaking, few barons have territory. Baron Hogg owns Ellington because Ellington is an abandoned territory. Being sent here as a lord is basically a means to punish some nobles. In the period when there is no fixed Lord, the Lords here take turns to sit. It is precisely because there is no fixed Lord that Ellington has never developed.

Baron Hogg's full name is Hogg Pope. The Pope family is not a well-known family in the king's capital, yarinks. It can only be regarded as a small family. It is estimated that Hogg picked up such a bargain behind the ass of a large family.

Unlike Baron duvier of caspamiburg, duvier Kadir, a member of the alinx Kadir family, is a powerful faction. He can obtain the territory of caspamiburg through the game of the family in the aristocratic Parliament.

Castle caspami is well located in the northwest of the Empire's belly. To the west is the ambris mountains, a natural barrier. To the north is the scar of the holy sword. The third imperial Legion is stationed here all year round to ensure that the armies of several countries in the north will not invade the Ilus Empire through the scar of the holy sword - in fact, those countries have been fighting hard in recent years, There is no time to care about a sunset Ilus empire.

Therefore, caspamiburg is very safe. It is a place suitable for noble children to develop and operate with ease - of course, it is not a very good place. It can be seen that Baron duvier's position in the family is also very general.

But it's enough for Baron duvier to live a very moist life.

Unfortunately, he didn't know he put his hand into Donne's pocket.

So his trouble came.

The housekeeper pushed the door in, ignored the red sex beside Baron duvier, and said very seriously, "Baron! There's important news!"

Baron duvier frowned: "very important?"

"Very important."

"You wait for me in the bedroom first."

Baron duvier had to dispel the red sex. When he was disturbed, he looked unhappy: "cole, you'd better really report something important, or I'll deduct all your salary this month!"

The housekeeper Cole just didn't hear: "Baron, there's an accident in the mine."

Baron duvier looked confused: "mine? Do we have a mine?"

"My Lord, Ellington, Brussels iron mine..."

"Oh, oh! I robbed the Brussels iron ore mountain in Ellington. I forgot this. Speaking of Hogg, the waste hasn't responded yet. I think it's completely abandoned."

Baron duvier waved his hand and looked impatient: "what can happen there? Does Hogg dare to rob it back?"

"Baron, the mine was really robbed back, but it's not Hogg."

The housekeeper Cole said, "a soldier was escorted back by Ellington's people and sent the news. Ellington has now changed a lord named Donne."

"Another Lord? I've been here for ten years. Ellington has changed seven or eight lords? Hogg still stays the longest."

Duvier frowned. "What's the origin of this Donne?"

"It's an imperial baron. It's said that he bought the identity of Lord Ellington. I don't know any other information."

"Pay for Ellington?"

Baron duvier was stunned. "Is that guy an idiot? He bought Ellington? Doesn't he know there's nothing poor there?"

"Sir, don't forget that Baron Hogg squeezed out a lot of oil and water in three years..."

"It's not worth buying there... How many gold coins did he spend?"

"I don't know... Sir, the point is that the iron ore mountain was taken back by Donne."

"How possible."

Baron duvier said indifferently, "I know there are few people in the broken place of Ellington. How can the militia composed of more than 100 people defeat the 150 elite soldiers I sent? And what's the name of the steward?"

"My Lord, Rex."

"That's right! Rex, didn't I send him a bodyguard? - Eddie, that bodyguard's name is Eddie. Hiring him will cost me more than 1000 gold coins a year!"

Housekeeper Cole looked helpless: "Sir, Rex and Eddie are dead... Sir, you'd better see the messenger. There is one of our soldiers following. This should be true."

"How dare you send a messenger? OK, I'll meet the messenger!"

Baron duvier put on his clothes and came out with the housekeeper to see Uncle Depp and the soldier.

As soon as the soldier saw Baron duvier, he knelt on the ground: "Lord!"

Baron duvier ignored the soldier's cry and stared at Uncle Depp: "are you Ellington's messenger? What do you want to say?"

Uncle Depp had a transmission scroll given to him by Donne. He was not afraid at the moment. He took out the letter and shouted, "this is the letter that Lord Donne ordered me to give to duvier! Are you duvier?"

"Bold! How dare a farmer call me by name!"

Baron duvier's face was cold: "with this, I can put you to death!"

"I'm an Ellington messenger. You can't kill me."

Uncle Depp sneered, "come and pick up the letter."

"Go."

The housekeeper Cole took the letter, gave uncle Depp a hard look, and then went back and handed it to duvier.

Duvier opened the envelope directly and looked at it.

"To the Lord of Castle caspami, Baron duvier."

"Baron duvier, this is our first conversation, but I'm a lazy man, so I'm no longer polite. Let's go straight to the subject."

Seeing this line, Baron duvier showed his contempt: "it's not like an imperial aristocrat. There's a smell of dirt between the lines!"

But there was no way. He still had to hold his nose and keep looking.

"According to the imperial law, the Brussels iron ore mountain is the inherent territory of Ellington, and now I have recovered it."

"Mine steward Rex and durum intended to instigate the bodyguard to murder our Lord. They have been killed."

"Forty nine of the 150 soldiers you sent to garrison the mine were killed by us in the battle. Deducting one person traveling with the messenger, there are now 100 soldiers in our custody. After my consideration, I decided to ask you to redeem them at the low price of 100 gold coins per soldier. The ransom amount to 10000 gold coins. The soldier accompanying me is an additional gift. Please give five stars a high praise."

One hundred gold coins per soldier? A hundred soldiers is ten thousand gold coins?

Baron duvier's eyelids jumped. Did don think his gold coins were rolled up by the wind? And what does this five-star praise mean? Some kind of magic spell?

"Besides, taking charge of the living and accommodation of these 100 soldiers consumes a lot of manpower and materials in Ellington, so I have to inform you that we need to charge resettlement fees and board fees at the price of ten gold coins per soldier per day. The specific amount will be calculated separately when the ransom is paid without further notice. Therefore, for your sake, please do your best Redeem these soldiers. "

"Are you kidding!"

Baron duvier roared, "the standard food for every soldier is ten gold coins a day! What do they eat?"

Even Baron duvier himself, the standard food cost per day is only ten gold coins. Did these soldiers catch up with his standard? Isn't this insulting his aristocracy!?

Cole said, "Sir, please calm down and wait until you finish reading."

Baron duvier gasped and continued to look.

"In addition, I also learned that you have illegally occupied the Brussels iron mine for a long time and illegally earned a lot of wealth, and the former Lord Hogg Pope has not recovered the wealth that belongs to Ellington. In view of my new office and financial constraints, I have to recover the illegal income from you."

"It is reported that you have occupied the Brussels iron ore mountain for more than three years. Because I am lazy, I don't count the change. Round up four years, a total of 1500 days."

Duvier almost vomited blood. Let's not mention the debt recovery statement. What do you mean by rounding up four years? Is there such a change!?

"1500 days!? it's more than six years! It's an integer! Does he think I don't know numbers?"

Cole whispered, "Lord, 1500 days, it's more than four years and a month..."

"I want you to talk nonsense!"

Baron duvier slapped up and shouted, "my math teacher died early!"

Cole retreated with his face covered, and duvier continued to look with anger.

"According to my analysis of the mine, your daily profit from the mine is estimated to be 1000 gold coins. Therefore, after calculation, you should compensate Ellington for a total of 1.5 million gold coins - the benevolent master will not collect the overdue payment and the interest therein."

"Please get the money ready as soon as possible and go to Ellington to redeem the soldiers as soon as you receive this letter."

"Lord Ellington, Donne, was at Lord Ellington's house on the 24th of the jubilant month of 849."

After reading the letter, duvier's face was black, and he tore the letter to pieces in anger.

"Presumptuous! Arrogant! Bold! 1.5 million gold coins!? is he crazy!?"

Duvier roared, "still ask me for compensation!? ask for ransom!? recover illegal gains!? who does he think he is!?"

"Soldier!"

Heavily armed soldiers swarmed in.

Duvier pointed to Uncle Depp and shouted, "drag these two men out and cut them down! Send orders! I'm going to send troops to crush Ellington!"

The soldiers kneeling on the ground changed their faces: "Lord!"

"Come here if you don't want to die!"

Uncle Depp shouted, grabbed the soldier, and shouted to Baron duvier, "you will regret this decision! I promise in the name of the Lord!"

At the moment when the soldiers rushed up, uncle Depp ruthlessly tore up the transmission scroll, a flash of light flashed, and they disappeared from Baron duvier in an instant.

"Where are they?"

"Lord," Cole said with a look of shock, "the farmer seems to have left with a conveyor reel!"

"Transport scroll!? how can it be! The master can't buy transport scroll! How can an Ellington farmer afford it!"

"Maybe his Lord gave it to him?"

"Impossible! How can a woodlouse Lord get the transmission scroll?"

"Whatever it is, I want my soldiers to step on Ellington! I want that Donne to kneel in front of me and lick my boots!"

"Your will!"
