Chapter 19 Visit
After calculating the date, Derek set off with all the knights and attendants, as well as five well-prepared war horses.
In total, it would take at least a year to train from well-prepared to excellent.
He couldn't wait any longer, and well-prepared war horses were already the mainstream configuration on the market.
Even the king's direct knights received this treatment.
Take the horse that Derek rode as an example, the panel is as follows.
Warhorse (to be named)
Quality: Well-prepared (45/100)
Experience pool: 0/100
This is the best warhorse he has. The remaining 55 experience points can only be accumulated in the experience pool in three or four days, and it only adds one or two experience points in one or two months.
It can only be regarded as a medium-level well-prepared quality, but it has surpassed 80% of the warhorses on the market.
Derek It is covered with a layer of leather armor, with strong muscle lines and smooth brown hair.
It looks very good, and most knights' dream horses are at this level.
Most people cannot hope for a truly excellent warhorse.
Most of the horses ridden by others were just entering the fine level, which looked slightly inferior.
Because they were all cavalry, they traveled very fast.
After a night's rest, they arrived at their destination the next day.
This place is very close to the core hinterland of the Earldom of Perez, which is one of the few places in the North with dense population and farmland.
The fiefdom of the Knight of Cloya is here.
A knight manor inherited from the ancestors is one of the earliest knight territories in the North.
A full two thousand acres of land is enough to support seventy or eighty families to farm for the Cloya family for generations.
He can even form his own army, set up checkpoints to collect taxes, and even a series of administrative rights.
A small knight title has certain rights.
This is a right that those merchants who bought manors cannot exercise.
Of course, the Knight of Cloya does not usually use these rights.
It is very close to the Earl's castle, so it is completely redundant to raise soldiers.
Setting up checkpoints to collect taxes is also a death wish. Eighty percent of the businesses that come to the Earl's feet are from the Earl's family.
However, relying on the farm business, he can earn two or three hundred gold coins every year.
With the salary and some extra income, he is already living better than 99% of the people in this world.
In addition, there is a word called Perez in the middle of Knight Croa's name.
Because the distance is very close, Knight Croa will return to the family fiefdom when he doesn't have a day off.
Derek calculated the time and came to visit.
It has been ten months since he left the Knights.
When Knight Croa suddenly heard that Derek was visiting, he thought he was here to make connections.
It is normal for the young man to come back after getting a bloody head outside.
It just so happens that the Earl intends to expand the Knights, which is an opportunity.
However, the butler whispered to Knight Croa and told him what he saw before Derek came in.
"Knight Derek brought seven cavalrymen and more than a dozen war horses, all of whom are fully equipped and look very decent."
Decent is the lowest compliment to a noble.
But at least, not everyone can be described like this.
Knight Croa thought to himself, maybe he guessed wrong.
When he saw Derek coming over in high spirits, he was more convinced that he guessed wrong.
"Uncle Croa, I'm here to ask you for help."
Derek said jokingly as soon as they met.
The relationship between the two families can be regarded as old friends. This generation of Baron Ferreira and Knight Croa have fought on the battlefield together.
So, it is right to be polite.
Sure enough, Croa smiled, with a bit of pampering for the younger generation: "As long as I can do it, just ask.
But... little Derek, you have been out and about, and you are much more cheerful."
The previous Derek would not talk to him like this, and he was very serious.
However, I haven't seen him for almost a year. It is understandable that young people have changed a lot due to the environment.
Derek heard this with a smile in his eyes. Although it was also collusion, it was more comfortable to have a little human touch.
Some people always think that clear distinctions are best, but there are not so many clear distinctions. You can do it, but it doesn't mean that everyone can do it.
As long as one person can't do it, it will be an obstacle.
Derek smiled and took Cloya's arm and went out.
A row of brown war horses lined up in front of the door. Even the slightly inferior ones were difficult to distinguish between good and ordinary ones.
The remaining seven or eight horses were all good horses that could be seen at a glance.
"Good horses!"
Knight Cloya was neither surprised nor happy, and his praise was casual.
Although these war horses were good, they were not amazing.
He led a flag, and the most contacted people were horses, so of course he was not surprised.
Derek was able to own so many war horses, and it seemed that he was really doing well.
"Little Derek, are you here to show off to me? Do you want me to take you to the Knights to experience the skill of brushing horses again?"
Derek walked down quickly and stood in front of the war horses.
"Uncle Cloya, didn't you ask me what I was doing? This is the gift I brought you. How about it? Are you satisfied?"
This time, Cloya was surprised.
He followed a few steps down the steps and carefully stroked and examined the warhorse.
Teeth, hooves, limbs, and coat color.
It is a good horse, and it stood quietly in Derek's hand, only occasionally shaking its head, motionless.
Obviously after a certain amount of training, it can be used on the battlefield.
"Give it to me? Then I will take it."
"Take it, this one is a gift for you, and these four are sold to you at the original price."
Kloya himself does not lack war horses, but there is a shortage in the market, even Count Perez is short of them.
Scarce resources are always fought over.
"How much?"
"Take these four as an example, they are only inferior among war horses, 20 gold coins each, how about it?"
"Not expensive!"
It is not cheap either, about the same as the current market price.
However, this kind of thing is used to exchange resources, and the price is not expensive, which is considered conscientious.
Kloya immediately decided: "I will buy them all. If you still have such goods, you can come to me."
"Eighty gold coins, buy four and get one free. If Uncle Cloya wants more, I will send another batch next month."
Derek threw the reins to Simon.
"Oh! That's a bargain. Your gift is too big. I dare not accept it."
The price of sixteen gold coins is already much lower than the market price.
This is a huge discount. It's not easy to get a bargain.
Kroya wants it, but is afraid that he can't afford it.
"Tell me what you want to do. I'll see if I can help you."
You see, this is human touch. If it's someone else, even if they give gifts, they can't find a way.
If you are particular, I will refuse you.
If you are not particular, I will take it all.
