This is exactly what he was shocked, because he didn't even have this kind of boots, and even when he went to battle, he only wore iron-inlaid boots, and now there were 40 cavalrymen, all of whom were in iron armor.

and the war horses under the crotch, all fat and strong.

It's not at all like the lean and malnourished horses in the rocky passes.

Perhaps the warhorses that Baron Dylan raised himself could compare with the warhorses under their crotch.

"It's really Kant."

He swallowed and spat, thinking that the first two times the sentry oasis sent people, there were not so many heavy cavalry, and all of them were elite, comparable to the vassal cavalry belonging to Baron Dylan in the Solid Stone Pass.

And as a vassal cavalry, he was also a little unwilling.

But I still have to admit it.

In fact, the 40 heavy cavalry, both in terms of weapons and equipment, and the war horses under their crotches, were much better than them, and even the real nobles, the gap between them and the down-and-out wanderers.

"Strange troops, please stop!"

He swallowed and spitted, although he knew that it was Kant and Manid, he still did not order the city gate to be opened, but shouted: "This is the territory of the Duchy of Lion, the solid stone pass of the North County, and the territory of Baron Dylan, if you want to enter, please explain your intentions and give enough kindness!" ”

The 40 heavy cavalry led by Kant looked like a fierce elite army.

He didn't dare to just put it in the rocky pass.

If there were no walls, it is estimated that with those conscripted peasants and armed militias, thousands of people would not be able to stop these 40 heavy cavalry, and they would be slaughtered one-sidedly, even if they joined him as a single vassal knight.

This is an absolute advantage in quality.

Hearing the question of this vassal knight on the city wall, Manid looked at Kant.

This is diplomatic rhetoric.

It's also a way to identify yourself with each other.

Kant nodded to him: "You go." ”

"Understood." Manid responded.

After getting Kant's permission, he rode forward, looked at the vassal knight on the city wall, and shouted with a calm face: "This is the second son of Grand Duke Cameron, the baron of the Duchy of Lion, the lord of the Naren Desert, Lord Kant!" ”

The vassal knights on the city walls had long seen that Kant was underneath.

With a cold sweat on his face.

While sending someone to inform Baron Dylan, he gritted his teeth and said stubbornly: "Dear Baron Kant, may I ask why you led the troops to the Solid Stone Pass, forgive me for my rude offense, the 40 heavy cavalry you led to enter Baron Dylan's territory must also be reported and approved by Lord Baron." ”

Kant said to Manid, "Tell him that I understand." ”

"Master Kant understands."

Manid nodded, and immediately replied, "We are here to conduct trade, and I hope you will inform Baron Dylan that we are leading these 40 heavy cavalry only to deal with the extremely large number of gnolls in the Naryn Desert, to prevent the goods from being plundered, and I hope that we can both understand each other." ”

After a few more words, the person who notified him finally returned.

At the same time, Baron Dylan and his vassal knights came, all wearing chain mail, all of them in good spirits, full of red light, and compared with when Kant saw him, the equipment was not only newer, but also more physical.

Apparently in recent times, they have been doing well.

Baron Dylan came to the city walls.

The vassal knight wiped the cold sweat from his face and whispered all this.

"You've done a good job, go back and ask my butler for 20 big silver coins."

Baron Dylan nodded after hearing this, although his face was expressionless, but he directly reassured the vassal knight: "In the future, if there is such a situation, you will still do this, you represent the solid stone pass, and this is very good." ”

"Thank you for the compliment." The vassal knight looked happy, bowed his head in thanks, and then retreated.

Baron Dylan didn't care about him anymore.

Instead, he looked down at the 40 heavy cavalry who were lining up a hundred meters away from the city wall.

His eyes were a little surprised, and he also looked at the full set of chain mail, as well as the Salander helmet held in the crook of his arm, as well as the strong physique and the majestic war horse, and his eyes were full of covetousness.

This is a heavy cavalry that even he does not have.

But soon he regained his composure and his mood was very stable.

"Open the gates!"

Baron Dylan waved his hand, looked at Kant below, and swept over the conscripted peasants behind him, with a little indignation on his face and a reprimand in his tone: "That's Baron Kant, have you all forgotten, this is our friend of the Solid Stone Pass!" How dare you not open the gates, and now you don't open them at once, let our friends in!" ”

"Understood." Those who conscripted the peasants did not dare to refute it.

They can't argue with that.

As the wooden bolt that held the gate was opened, the iron cable pulled open the gate.

The two heavy wooden doors were slowly opened, and Baron Dylan also walked down the city gate, and brought the vassal knights behind him to the bottom, personally greeted Kant and them, and said in a very happy tone: "Dear Xiaod, I feel that we have not seen each other for a long time, and I am so happy to see you again!" ”

"It's just as nice to see you, Uncle Dylan."

Kant had a sincere smile on his face, and he didn't seem to be angry because of what had happened before.

The two chatted, holding arms and walking into the solid stone pass.

The relationship is extremely harmonious.

Behind him, Manid led the camel caravan to enter first, and the bulging sack on his back made the smile on Baron Dylan's face a little deeper, but when he swept over the 40 heavy cavalry without leaving a trace, there was still a little jealousy in the depths of his eyes.

The gravel floor of the stone pass had been swept away, and at least the filth was gone.

The paupers with colourful faces still sit in the straw huts on either side.

Seeing Kant and Baron Dylan riding their horses, they looked at each one expressionlessly, just casually bending down and touching their chests and saluting, and they couldn't see much so-called sincerity at all, as if they were coping.

Baron Dylan didn't see it either.

These despicable poor people are simply dispensable to him.

Back at the residence, which was built next to the mountains, the soldiers guarding the gate came and led Baron Dylan's warhorse.

There were also servants who came to help lead Kant's horse.

"No need."

Kant politely refused, turned his head to the Salander rider behind him, and said: "You come and lead the horse to the stable, you don't need so many people to follow me, it is very safe in the Solid Stone Pass, Uncle Dylan's territory." ”

"Haha, of course, Xiaodde, you can use it as your territory here!"

Baron Dylan laughed.

The Salander riders were automatically divided into two groups, 30 men leading the horses and following the servants to the stables at the back, while the remaining 10 stood behind Kant, apparently following him as an escort.

Baron Dylan didn't care either, and waved his hand: "Come in, they all look like good young men." ”

"Of course." Kant chuckled and nodded.

However, he also arranged for Manid: "Manid, you go and deliver the goods to Uncle Dylan's caravan leader." As he spoke, a slight apologetic smile appeared on his face: "This time I brought a lot of money, so it might be a little troublesome." ”

"Hahaha, I'm not afraid of trouble!" Baron Dylan laughed.

The more goods he brings, the more he earns.

The last batch of fine white salt brought profits made him so excited that he didn't sleep all night.

"I had dinner arranged." As he spoke, Baron Dylan held Kant's arm like an elder, and the smile on his face became brighter: "If you can come early, I can hold a banquet to welcome you, but tomorrow I will also invite the celebrities and gentlemen of the Solid Stone Pass to come over and officially hold a grand banquet." ”

"That's so much appreciated." Kant withdrew his hand without leaving a trace, with a smile on his face.

Walk into the slightly depressing mansion.

The building was actually built to the specifications of a small fortress.

Although it is not as tall as a castle, with this complete defense and narrow gateway passage, only a few hundred elite soldiers are enough to defend this official residence and ensure that the solid stone pass can last until the last moment.

Enter the original Hall of Lords.

One by one, torches were lit and planted in the blackened stone wall next to them.

On either side of the long table in the hall, on the main seat where the lord was located, and on the table of the guest seat opposite, there was also a silver three-pronged candlestick, on which the three candles were lit, releasing a steady and commanding light.

"Isn't there a little nostalgia?"

Baron Dylan smiled and invited Kant and the 10 Salander riders to take their seats.

At the same time, he also took his vassal knights to sit down, and said to Kant with a smile on his face: "This is a silver candlestick bought in South County, and these beeswax candles are rare luxuries in our North County, but you are the son of Archduke Cameron, so you should have seen a lot of these things." ”

"Very good." Kant smiled and nodded, sniffing lightly, but frowning slightly.

"What's wrong?" Baron Dylan noticed his frowning brow, the smile on his face narrowed slightly, and he frowned and asked, "Xiaodde, did you find something?" ”

"Beeswax candles?" Kant asked.

Baron Dylan's face was a little embarrassed, and he turned his head and swept over the chubby, dazed-looking butler next to him, and had an answer in his heart, but he still nodded: "That's right, when I was buying, the merchant of Nanjun told me that this is the purest and favorite beeswax candle used by the nobles of Nanjun at banquets." ”

"Well, Uncle Dylan, maybe you've got a not-so-pure beeswax candle." Kant shrugged slightly.

And Baron Dylan wondered: "Is it a fake?" ”

"No, it's a beeswax candle." Kant shook his head and frowned: "But this texture is not pure, it should be the wax liquid that melted after the original beeswax candle was burned, and then heated and melted after collection, and reprocessed into a beeswax candle, from the light and the slight pungent smell produced by the burning, it can be known that this is a fake made by those merchants." ”

"These filthy ghosts from Nanjun dare to lie to me!" Baron Dylan seemed very angry.

Kant's expression was regretful, and his face was full of regret: "This is a small trick of the group of businessmen in Nanjun, it can be regarded as a scam, I didn't expect Uncle Dylan, you also encountered it." ”

Continue to work the code word today, at least this book can be written to the end of the book without too much trouble, and it is also good to strive for an early high-quality product.
