Volume 1 Forest Knight Chapter 65 Marriage is not a joke
After Balian told Gamlin, Gamlin almost dropped his jaw in surprise. Although he could not confirm that Dame Andy was the only daughter of Count Gerry, he felt that there was a high probability that she was. Otherwise, who else could it be?
Being able to command so many knights in the earl's palace. Thinking of this, Gamlin stared at Balian thoughtfully, making Balian feel numb.
"You have something to say, but it's scary to stare at me like this at night." Balian said with some dissatisfaction.
Upon hearing this, Gamgee put on his smiling expression again. After toasting Balian with a toast, he said: "Sir Balian, my good brother, this matter is for you.
, is a good thing and a bad thing.”
"Oh, how do you say that?" Balian asked puzzledly.
"If my prediction is correct, Dame Andy should be the only daughter of Earl Gerry. Earl Gerry has only one child. From now on, she will be our first countess in Brick. If you can win her heart, you
The Tucker family will be able to become the top powerful family in the western region of Verinen Continent." Gamgee said.
Balian rolled his eyes at him, "I can also guess her identity. I have no illusions about this kind of thing. I'd better strive for fame and fortune myself.
Besides, how could a noble earl’s daughter like me? These noble ladies should always give silk scarves to knights like me. Casting a wide net can catch more fish.”
"Cast a wider net and catch more fish?" Ganmuji repeated this sentence, "This sentence is quite interesting and makes sense. I think you really need to consider the issue of marriage. After all, you
I'm almost twenty now. When I was twenty, I had children, but you probably haven't even touched a woman."
Balian blushed when he heard what Gamgee said, and then sighed and said: "I'm not in a hurry about these things now. I'll wait until Nolandenburg is almost developed."
Gamgee had no intention of sparing Balian. He suggested: "In our family, there are several girls who are about the same age as you. They are my nieces by generation. Their looks are acceptable, and they are all from noble families.
Girl, if you are willing, you can be our family’s son-in-law, so that you will no longer be a foreigner with no roots in the north."
Gamgee's proposal was actually for Balian's sake. Although Balian currently had a certain reputation in Brick, he was still a small lord who came from a low-level knight family and whose fiefdom was not rich.
A family like Gamgee's has survived and thrived in the North for hundreds of years, and there are powerful viscounts, barons, barons, and a large number of knights in the family. Balian becoming the son-in-law of such a family will really help his own development, and
There is no need to fear Baron Raul and his family anymore.
Seeing that Balian did not object directly after listening to his suggestion, but fell into deep thought. Gamgee knew that Balian also thought his proposal was quite suitable, and he himself wanted to recruit a wealthy man for the family.
The young knight has a bright future and can become a strong foreign aid for the family in the future.
Although the current situation is relatively stable, Gamgee can also vaguely smell the coming of a turbulent era. When troubled times come, knights like Balian who are skilled in battle formations, good at strategy, and have great ambitions will
Have great achievements.
If the two families can get married, the glory of Balian will also be the glory of the Gamji family, and maybe they can become the top family of Brick.
"Okay, don't think about this matter now. You wait for my arrangement. Then you and my nieces will meet. If you like the one you like, the rest will be left to me." Gan Mu
Although Ji had some calculations in his mind, he really admired Balian, a young man who was more than ten years younger than him.
Balian heard what he said, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with him, and then drank the wine in one breath, which was regarded as acquiescing to Gamgee's marriage proposal.
Seeing that Balian had no objections, Gamgee was very happy and took Balian to drink the bottle of wine. Then the dizzy Balian returned to his carriage, under the influence of alcohol to help him sleep.
, fell asleep soundly.
Along the Knights Avenue, the closer you get to the city of Yangwei Shuo, the more you can feel the strong festive atmosphere. The number of business travelers and pedestrians on the road began to increase, and from time to time, groups of knights would pass by on horseback.
The vendors and pedestrians were all happy. The vendors were happy that this annual gathering was a good time for them to do business. The more people there, the more money they could make.
The passers-by who rushed to watch the tournament were also happy, because such a grand scene only happens once a year. Knights from all over the Principality of Brick gather here to decide the winner of this year. It is said that this year there will be Orion and Valen.
Dee's knights came to participate in the competition, which made it more lively.
After entering the city of Yang Weixiao, Ganmuji had a lot of things to do. He arranged Balian and his bodyguards to a large courtyard near the business inn under his name. This was bought by Ganmuji, except for himself.
In addition to living in Yangwei Shuocheng, it also served as a warehouse.
Now that the goods have been brought back to Amundine, the house here is empty, just in time to live in and store the soap, painted pottery and other valuables brought from Nolandenburg this time.
Balian was quite satisfied with Gamji's arrangement, so he decided to stay here instead of looking for a place to live alone. In fact, in the current Yangweixuo City, Balian wanted to find a hotel that could accommodate more than 20 of them.
Can't find it.
Because of the large influx of people in the past few days, all the hotels and vacant rental houses in the city have been filled. Many pedestrians who came to see the excitement even built bunks on the streets and in the city squares.
This seaside city with beautiful scenery and developed commerce originally had a large flow of people, but now it is even more overcrowded.
After Broda and Bran led the guards to clean the yard and the room, the bedding and other items from Balian's carriage were placed in the room. It was just after noon, and everyone had already had lunch before entering the city. Balian
Just give everyone a holiday, you can choose to take a nap or go out and play now.
But the soldiers who had been on the road for several days also wanted to take a good rest at this time and wait until they were full of energy before going out to play, so they, like their lord, chose to take a siesta.
When the sun set, Balian also got up after having slept well. After a brief wash and a change of new clothes, he took Bran out and prepared to see the prosperity of Yangwei Shuo City.
Before going out again, Balian handed Broda seven hundred dinars, of which five hundred dinars were the subsidy for their personal guard's trip to Yangwei Shuo and the allowance for participating in the battle in Sisi Town.
Each person received twenty dinars, and the remaining two hundred dinars were a subsidy for their outstanding performance in Sis Town. Broda was responsible for distributing this money.
Balian was never stingy in rewarding his soldiers, especially since he had already received so much money from this trip. Now that the brothers came to the prosperous place of Yang Weixuo, they must want to have a good time, but they couldn't do it without money, so
Balian simply gave them such a large sum of money and let them have fun for a few days.
As soon as Balian stepped out of the courtyard, he heard cheers in the courtyard. It seemed that these boys were really excited after getting the money.
After enjoying a sumptuous seafood dinner with Bran in a relatively high-standard tavern, the two came to the commercial area near the martial arts tournament venue. Because while eating in the tavern, they heard someone at the next table say that since then,
Starting today, the shops in the commercial area near the conference venue will not be closed and will provide services to knights and tourists around the clock.
It was precisely after hearing this news that Balian decided to take a look. He did not expect that in this backward era, there would be such a prosperous business scene. It was really incredible.
When the two arrived near the conference venue, it was already overcrowded, but fortunately there were security teams and city defense battalion soldiers here to maintain order. Although there were many people, it was still in good order and not chaotic. It seemed that Earl Gerry was
A shrewd lord who knows how to govern and understand business.
The two of them did not go to the wine stall and the joy stall, the two busiest places, because they had just finished eating, and Balian did not want to go to such a place, let alone Bran who was still a child.
They were very interested in going to the Bingjia merchant's shop, which had few customers, because Yangweixiao was the largest commercial city in the north of Brick. Not only were there more blacksmiths here than elsewhere, but their skills were also better than elsewhere.
Balian came over to see what the quality of these armor weapons, which represented Brick's ceiling level, was like, and also wanted to see if he could poach one or two senior blacksmiths.
After the two of them entered a military armor shop, the fat businessman who was sitting there drowsily got up quickly and came over to greet him. After learning that the two of them were just here to take a look, he simply let them see as much as they wanted.
Continue to sit down and rest.
Because he was very tired after a busy day today. He had done a lot of business during the day and had earned a lot of money. There was no need to waste energy on these two young people who had no plans to buy armor.
Seeing the boss like this, Bellion didn't feel unhappy, but felt more comfortable. He had never liked the kind of salesperson who chased after him and kept nagging. He just wanted to quietly choose by himself to see if he could find something he liked.
commodity.
The items in this store are quite complete, from lances to swords, hammers, battle axes, daggers and other fighting weapons, to chainmail, chain mail, iron helmets, leather armor and other protective gear.
The quality of the weapons is basically mid-to-high-end, which is pretty good. Balian picked up the sword, hammer, and battle ax from the shelf and tried them all. They are quite comfortable. It seems that the weapons of this armor store are still good.
of.
When he came to the lance shelf, Bran was very surprised and walked forward and touched the lance carefully. He had never seen a knight's tourney before, let alone a lance. He had only heard about it from the bard.
The grand occasion of the knights' tourney. He was quite excited to follow Balian here to watch the largest knights' tourney in Brickfield.
Bran touched the lance excitedly, and asked Balian: "Sir, is this kind of lance mainly used for fighting in the knight's tourney? This lance looks so big and heavy, how strong it must be to carry it.
Use such a weapon."
"Hahaha, you can pick it up and feel it. This kind of competition lance that looks big and heavy is actually not heavy. It is made of apple wood and is relatively light." Balian asked Bran to pick it up and try it out.
Sure enough, after Bran grabbed it, he found that it was not heavy and could be picked up easily.
Looking at Bran who was a little confused, Balian stepped forward and explained to him: "This kind of lance is specially used for competitions. In order to create the effect of the sound of the lance breaking resounding through the sky, and at the same time in order to reduce the reaction force during charging, it is
This easily broken wood was used as the gun shaft.
In actual combat, although most knights will also use this kind of easily broken gun shaft, the lance shaft will be thinner and easier to hold and carry.
However, some knights don't like this kind of lance, because they need to carry many gun barrels every time they fight, and the lethality will be lost.
Therefore, some knights choose long guns made of hardwood. Although they require high horsemanship and control skills, they are more lethal and save time in replacing lances."
