Chapter 57: The Furious Duviere
When Tang En was thinking about how to refine medicine for the guards at home, Uncle Depp, who had already set off, never stopped for a moment. He traveled overnight. It originally took five or six days, but it took only three days to arrive.
Caspami Fort is located north of Ellington, where the Ladian hills disappear, and to the west is the remnant of the Ambris Mountains. Caspami Fort is located on the slope of one of the remnants. The castle dozens of meters high wraps the entire hilltop tightly, with several villages scattered around, and you can vaguely see farmers farming in the fields.
Just by looking at this appearance, you can tell that Caspami Fort is much better than Erlington.
Generally speaking, few barons would have territory. Baron Hog owned Ellington because Ellington was originally an abandoned territory. Being sent to be a lord here is basically a means of punishing certain nobles. In the period when there was no fixed lord, the lords here took turns to sit. It was precisely because there was no fixed lord that Ellington had never developed anyway.
The full name of Baron Hog is Hog Pope. The Pope family is not very well-known in the royal capital Yarinks. It can only be regarded as a small family. It is probably because of the big family that Hog picked up such a cheap one.
The Baron of Duvier in Caspami Castle is different. Duvier's full name is Duvier Kadir, who is a member of the Yarinkskadir family. He is a powerful person. He can obtain the territory of Caspami Castle because the family gets the game in the noble parliament.
Caspami Fort has a very good geographical location. It is located in the northwest of the abdomen of the empire, with the Ambris Mountains to the west, with a natural barrier and the Sword of the Holy Sword to the north. The Third Legion of the Empire has been stationed here all year round to ensure that the troops of several countries in the north will not invade the Irrus Empire through the Sword of the Holy Sword - In fact, those countries have fought in recent years and have no time to care about the Irrus Empire at sunset.
Therefore, Caspami Fort is very safe and is a place suitable for the children of nobles to develop and manage with peace of mind. Of course, it is not a very good place. It can be seen that Baron Duvier's status in the family is also very average.
But it is enough to make Baron Duvier very comfortable.
It's a pity that he didn't know that he put his hand into Don't's pocket.
So his trouble came.
The housekeeper pushed the door open, ignoring the few naked women beside Baron Duvier, and said very seriously: "Sir Baron! There is important news!"
Baron Duvier frowned slightly: "It's very important?"
“It’s very important.”
"You guys go to the bedroom to wait for me first."
Baron Duvier had to disperse the naked women. He looked unhappy when he was disturbed by the good things: "Cole, you'd better have something important to report, otherwise I must deduct all your salary this month!"
The housekeeper Cole just pretended not to hear: "Sir Baron, something happened in the mine."
Baron Duvier looked confused: "Mine? Do we have mines?"
"Sir, Ellington, Brussels Iron Mine..."
"Oh! I snatched it from Ellington's Brussels iron mine. I forgot this. Speaking of which, Hogg has not responded yet. I guess he gave up completely."
Baron Duvier waved his hand, looking impatient: "What can happen there? Could it be that Hogg dares to take it back?"
"Sir Baron, the mine was really robbed, but it's not Hogg."
The butler Cole said: "A soldier was escorted back by Ellington's men and sent the news that Ellington has now changed to a lord named Tangen."
"I've changed the lord again? I've been here for ten years. Ellington has changed seven or eight lords, right? Hogg is still the one who stayed the longest."
Duvier frowned slightly: "What is this Don't come from?"
"It is an imperial baron. It is said that he bought the identity of Lord Ellington for money. I don't know any other information."
"Spend money to buy Ellington?"
Baron Duvier was stunned: "Is that guy an idiot? He actually bought Ellington? Didn't he know that there was nothing poor there?"
"Sir, don't forget that Baron Hogg has squeezed a lot of oil and water in three years..."
"That's not worth the money to buy there...how many gold coins did he spend?"
"I don't know... Sir, the point is that the iron mine was taken back by that Tang En."
"How is that possible."
Baron Duvier said indifferently: "I know the broken place of Ellington, there are only a few people, and only a hundred people spontaneously formed militias. How could it be possible to defeat the 150 elite soldiers I sent? And what is the name of that manager?"
"Sir, Rex."
"That's right! Rex, didn't I send him a bodyguard? - Eddie, yes, that bodyguard is called Eddie. I'll spend more than a thousand gold coins a year to hire him!"
The butler Cole looked helpless: "Sir, Rex and Eddie are both dead... Sir, let's see the messenger. With one of our soldiers following you, this matter should be true."
"I actually sent a messenger? Okay, I'll see this messenger!"
Baron Duvier put on his clothes and came forward with the butler, and met Uncle Depp and the soldier.
As soon as the soldier saw Baron Duvier, he knelt on the ground: "Lord!"
Baron Duvier ignored the soldiers' wailing and stared at Uncle Depp: "You are Ellington's messenger? What's there to say?"
Uncle Depp had a teleportation scroll that Done gave him, and was not afraid at all at this moment. He took out the letter and said loudly: "This is our Lord Ellington, Lord Done ordered me to hand it to Duvier! Are you Duvier?"
"Bold! How dare a farmer call me by my name!?"
Baron Duvier's face turned cold: "For this, I can punish you for death!"
"I'm the Ellington Courier, you can't kill me."
Uncle Depp sneered: "Come and receive the letter."
"go."
The housekeeper Cole went over to take the letter, glared at Uncle Depp with a fierce look, and then went back and handed it to Duvier.
Duvier opened the envelope and looked at it.
"To the Lord of Caspami Castle, Baron Duvier personally."
"Baron Duvier, this is our first conversation, but I'm a lazy person, so I'm no longer polite, we're straight to the topic."
Seeing this line of words, Baron Duvier showed contempt: "This is not like an imperial nobleman, and a quarrel of earth hits his face between the lines!"
But there was no way, he still had to pinch his nose and continue to watch.
"The area was delineated according to imperial laws, and the Brussels iron mine was an inherent territory of Ellington, and I have now recovered it."
"Mining manager Rex, Durum intends to instigate the bodyguard to murder the lord, and has now been killed."
"The 150 soldiers you sent to guard the mine were killed by us in the battle. After deducting one person with the messenger, the current 100 soldiers were taken into custody by us. After my consideration, I decided to ask you to redeem them at a low price of 100 gold coins per soldier. The ransom totaled 10,000 gold coins. The soldier who accompanied him was considered an additional gift, please give him a five-star praise."
Each soldier has one hundred gold coins? One hundred soldiers are ten thousand gold coins?
Baron Duvier's eyelids twitched. Could this Don En thought that his gold coins were all swept by a strong wind? And what does this five-star praise mean? Some kind of magic spell?
"In addition, since the daily life, food and accommodation of these hundred soldiers consumed a lot of manpower and materials in Ellington, I have to notify you that we need to collect resettlement fees and collect food fees based on the price of ten gold coins per soldier per day. The specific amount will be calculated separately when the ransom is paid and no further notice will be made. Therefore, for your sake, please redeem these soldiers as soon as possible."
"What a joke!"
Baron Duvier roared: "The standard meal for each soldier with ten gold coins per day!? What do they eat?"
Even Baron Duvier himself had a standard meal cost of only ten gold coins every day. These soldiers actually caught up with his standards? Isn’t this an insult to his noble status?
Cole said: "Sir, please calm down and talk about it after reading it."
Baron Duvier gasped and continued to watch.
"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. The former lord Hog Pope did not recover this wealth that belonged to Ellington. Given that I had just taken office and the financial difficulties, I had to recover the illegal income from you."
"It is reported that you have occupied the Brussels iron mine for more than three years. Because I am lazy, I don't count the fractions. I make four years an integer, totaling 1,500 days."
Duvier almost vomited blood. Not to mention the debt recovery statement, the subsequent fraction does not count. What does it mean to gather four years? Is there anyone who removes the fraction like this?
"One thousand five hundred days!? It's obviously more than six years! There are integers there!? Did he think I don't know the numbers?"
Cole whispered: "Lord, 1,500 days, it's more than four years and a month..."
"I want you to talk nonsense!"
Baron Duvier slapped him and shouted, "My math teacher is not dead yet!"
Cole stepped down with his face covering his face, and Duvier continued to watch with his anger.
"According to my analysis of the mine, the profit you earn from the mine every day is estimated to be one thousand gold coins. Therefore, after calculation, you should compensate Ellington for a total of one million and a half million gold coins - the charitable lord will no longer collect the late payment and the interest therein."
"Please prepare this amount as soon as possible and go to Ellington to redeem the soldiers as soon as possible after receiving this letter."
"Lord Ellington, Donne, the 24th month of the jubilation of the 849th order calendar at the Lord Ellington's Mansion."
After reading the letter, Duvier's face was already ashen, and he tore the letter into pieces in anger.
"Random! Arrogant! Bold! One million and a half million gold coins!? Is he crazy??"
Duvier roared, "Ask me compensation!? Ask for ransom!? Recover illegal gains!? Who did he think he was!?"
"Soldier!"
Fully armed soldiers rushed in.
Duvier pointed at Uncle Depp and shouted: "Drag these two people out and chop them down! Pass the order! I will send troops to flatten Ellington!"
The face of the soldier kneeling on the ground changed drastically: "Lord!"
"Come here if you don't want to die!"
Uncle Depp shouted, grabbed the soldiers, and shouted at Baron Duvier: "You will regret this decision! I promise in the name of Lord Lord!"
The moment the soldiers rushed up, Uncle Depp cruelly tore the teleportation scroll apart, a light flashed, and the two of them disappeared from Baron Duvier's eyes in an instant.
"Where are they!?"
"Lord," Cole looked shocked, "that farmer seemed to have left with a teleportation scroll!"
"Telection reels!? How is it possible! Even the Lord can't buy the teleportation reels! How can an Ellington farmer afford it!"
"Maybe it was given to him by his lord?"
"Impossible! How could a lord of the country bumpkin buy a teleportation scroll!"
Duvier roared, "Whatever it is, I want my soldiers to stomp Ellington! I want that Donn to kneel in front of me and lick my boots!"
"Your will!"
