Riding and Slashing: The Dragon and the Lord

Chapter 17: Awang, whose name is easy to remember

Views:

Safiya was also quite surprised by the series of changes in Owens.

After hearing De Lassel's explanation, she became furious again.

“You have magic, why didn’t you use it in the battle last night

What a stupid man to have caused himself such serious injuries!"

"This... I... Oh, shit."

After telling a lie, you have to make up countless new lies. It's so fucking tiring.

De Lassel was in pain all over at the moment, and his brain was not working that fast, so he could only say "Fuck" perfunctorily.

Seeing how weak De Lassel looked, Safiya felt a little distressed.

“But you were ambushed and injured because you accompanied me to Norma Village.

I will take good care of you, and you need to get well soon, as we have to go back to Uxhall."

After saying that, Safiya peeled the grapes and fed them to De Lassel.

"Isn't this the bunch of grapes I gave you in Amashico?"

"Of course not! It would have gone bad long ago. God, you are so stupid."

Safiya was amused by De Lassel's words. She didn't expect that such a brave and combative man would occasionally have such nonsensical humor.

"By the way, where am I lying?"

"We are at the home of the chief of Norma village, and the chief recognized you as the lord here." Safiya replied.

"Owens, call the village chief over here."

Owens nodded respectfully, "As you command, my lord."

Looking at Owens's tall and strong figure walking away with a vigorous look, De La Serre couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

This kid has become too strong after this upgrade. He will definitely be more reliable in the future.

About five minutes later, the village chief arrived.

"Your Excellency Count De La Serre, our Lord, hello, I am the mayor of Norma Village."

"Village Chief, I may need to rest in your house for three to five days before I can recover and get out of bed and walk.

In the past few days, I would like to trouble you to provide us with food and drinking water for free, because I don’t have much money left.

Of course, what can I do for you in return? "

“Count De La Serre, you are the lord here, we should provide food and drinking water for free!

Our current living environment is pretty good, Norma is relatively prosperous, and we don't need your help yet.

. "

At this point, Safia suddenly had a good idea.

“Drasel, let’s build a watchtower and a training ground here.

In this way, when the enemy comes, the watchtower can inform us in advance.

If we are in Uxhall in the future, we can come and provide support in advance.

As for the training ground, they can train themselves and strengthen their weapons to protect their own homes.”

De La Serre thought it sounded good, but shook his head.

"Safiya, your idea is very good, it can be said that it is unprecedented and will never be surpassed.

But we don’t have that much money, and building a watchtower and a training ground will definitely cost a lot of money.”

"Then go make money!"

"Oh, it's not like you can just make money..."

De Lassel was about to retort, and the two were about to start an argument, when suddenly the system lit up.

New tasks...

De La Serre quickly responded in his heart:

Wait a minute, system, you don't really want me to build a watchtower and a training ground, do you

Don't interrupt.

New mission: build a watchtower and a training ground for the Norma village.

System prompt: A watchtower costs 1,000 dinars, and a training ground costs 1,000 dinars.

After a moment of silence, De La Serre said:

"Safiyya, you are right, let's work hard to earn money to build a watchtower and a training ground."

Seeing that De Lassel listened to her so much, Safiya felt warm in her heart and looked at him playfully and cutely.

"That's right, that's right. How much money do you think we need to make? I'll help too~"

"Well, I heard Owens tell me before that a watchtower costs about 1,500 dinars.

I estimate that a training ground would cost around 1,500 dinars, so we need 3,000.”

Reward: Wisdom +1.

Comment: It’s a pity that you don’t become a middleman.

De Lassel laughed at the system in his mind and said sarcastically: The middleman makes a profit from the price difference. He Sian taught me this. Isn't it amazing

Who is this person you are talking about

It doesn't matter who he is, but I think he created you.

At this time, Owens came in again.

"My noble Lord

Not far from the Norma village, I found a cave that was wide on the outside and deep on the inside.

"Oh? Then what?"

"Well, that's all. But I thought there might be some gold and jewels in there, and it looked like a robber's den."

After Owens's reasoning, De La Serre felt it was very likely.

After all, this is where forest bandits often appear, so they should have a gathering point.

"Let our Khergit boy go and scout. I guess he should have his own horse now."

"My Lord, you are right in guessing that he may have stolen a horse from the enemy last night."

Hearing this, De La Serre was very satisfied and nodded to Owens to make the arrangements.

"Safiya, let's wait here for news. If the cave is really rich,

We can rebuild the Norma village with the gold, silver and jewels in that cave, which are ill-gotten gains anyway."

"Well, well, this is also taking from the people and using it for the people. They are also robbing the farmers of their money.

Now it's just right to use it on the farmers. But De La Ser, I lied to you about one thing..."

Safiya suddenly acted aggrieved and pitiful.

De La Serre also became a little nervous and asked anxiously, "What's the matter?"

"The grapes you ate were indeed the bunch from the village of Amashico. They are several days old."

Oh shit!

"You woman! You..."

Just as De La Serre was about to continue, his mouth was filled with grapes peeled by Safiya...

It feels like she is murdering her husband before they even get married.

That night, the Kugit archer under De Lassel arrived near the cave.

In order to make the name easier to remember, De Lassel called this Kugit horse archer "Awang".

The dim moonlight shines through the slowly moving black clouds, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

The thick fog of the night could not be dispersed, no pedestrians could be seen on the long and silent road, and the sound of footsteps behind seemed to be there but not there.

In this darkness, Awang felt a chill all over his body and his scalp was numb.

It was as if countless pairs of eyes were looking at him from all sides. His body gradually curled up into a ball, not daring to stare into the darkness.

"Long live the Khergit Khanate! No, long live the Kingdom of Swadia!"
