Chapter 3 Returning Home

Go home!

The first step of Derek's retirement is to return to his family.

Although I am not ready to return to the family for development, as a member of the Ferrera family, I can still get some help.

For example... money.

Derek stood in the study, and the contemporary Baron Ferrera and his father, Leondro, looked at him.

From the education and training of his childhood family, he practiced martial arts, and worked as a knight apprentice under the command of Count Peres for three years.

The formal knight training takes twelve years, and the price is not high.

"Derke, as the patriarch of the Ferrera family, I don't agree with your choice, which will waste the family's investment.

As your father... I don't agree with your choice. It's more dangerous and difficult than you think.

I'll confirm with you one last time. Are you ready to be a wandering knight?"

Derek's eyes are firm, and there is no need to consider this answer: "Of course, I have already decided."

"Good!" Baron Ferrera stood up and threw a bag of coins to Derek: "This is the grant I gave you. If you can't get along, come back to work for me to pay off the debt."

Derek smiled. Isn't this one of the reasons for his return?

It's hard to walk without money, even in this world.

He opened the money bag unceremoniously, and the golden cutie inside made his eyes seem to be shining. I counted it again, and it was fifty gold coins.

How much is this quantity?

More, a professional soldier's salary is only one gold coin a year.

Less? The Ferrera family collects about 700 or 800 gold coins a year. With other manors and businesses, there are 2,000 gold coins at most and a thousand gold coins at least.

But excluding the maintenance expenses of a guard and family expenses, there is absolutely not much left.

Fifty gold coins are a lot, and ordinary civilians can't save so much money in their lifetime.

I can't afford a knight's heavy armor, but an ordinary half-body armor is enough.

If the low point is required, the iron armor will only take one or two gold coins.

He is enough to maintain a team of well-equipped professional soldiers for a year. If he can do it, he will continue to do it. If he can't do it, he will go home to pay off the debt.

"Thank you for your generosity. I will definitely come out to expand the title of the Ferrera family."

"I hope so." Baron Ferrera's voice sounded like he didn't have much confidence in him.

Perhaps, he felt that his third son would either die outside or come back.

Wandering Knight is really not that easy to get along with. Of course, Derek could hear it. If it weren't for the data panel, he would have honestly made an errand at home, just like his uncles.

"By the way, father, I need to recruit a few soldiers in the family territory." Derek made a request again.

"Yes, I will ask the sheriff to cooperate with you.

You can stay for a while and practice before setting off.

In your own territory, the recruits can be said to be relatively reliable, and you should think about what you want to do.

And there is a lot of room for choice, and at least some trained militia can be selected.

After a few meals at home, Derek couldn't wait to leave the castle.

Speaking of the Ferrera family, there are two villages and a castle in the fed.

Because it is located in the hinterland of the kingdom, many residents also gather outside the castle, and the military role is less than the political role.

Coupled with two small estates and a few industries in nearby cities, it can be said to be strong.

Maiqi Village, which is far from Ferrera Castle, belongs to the northernmost part of the territory.

Derek broke directly into the security center with the order of Baron Ferrera. There are more than 1,000 people in this village. There is a regular infantry team in the public security office all year round, plus 20 temporary militiamen recruited in turn, forming the most basic security army.

Derek has also been here many times. In fact, he didn't need a hand order and no one to embarrass him.

Because the sheriff is his second uncle, a middle-aged... bastard who has experienced knight training and barely passed the test.

When he saw his second uncle Andrew again, Derek was very envious that he could also raise a small belly in this era.

Looking at his swaying pace, it is obvious that he doesn't have much skills left in his youth.

Although he is a bastard, after all, he has the blood of the Ferrera family and has received a complete education. He is a rare talent.

As soon as they met, Andrew gave him a warm hug.

"Feng, my dear nephew, I heard that you have completed your knighthood with above grades, and you should stay there."

Andrew knows very well what excellent grades mean, which are competitive.

Derek was not surprised at all that his family quickly knew his performance. If your family was a ground snake, you would be so well-informed.

He didn't say anything else, but just explained casually: "You understand the relationship between Knight Chloe and his father." Andrew was not easily deceived by him. He had experienced knight training. He knew that no one would give you a stumbling block if he passed, but excellent grades were not excellent performance, and it was impossible to give them to you at will.

A smart person won't get to the bottom of it. It's very wise for him to skip this question.

After all, the current Baron Ferrera's name is Leondro. Andrew is pulling Derek with one hand and his nephew one by one, just to show his status to others.

It's very snobbish, but it's very necessary.

The family's legacy is almost in his generation.

Derek has many brothers, and important positions must be reserved for them.

Andrew needs to think about his son.

"Derek, I hope your choice is right. How many people do you need this time? I'll introduce you to the best young man." Andrew hesitated for a moment and suppressed his plan to put his son under Derek, but he still said generously, "I have prepared some gifts for you. I hope you will like them."

Money, of course, will not be so direct. After all, it is his second uncle. So Andrew prepared a long iron sword.

"This is my uncle's collection, but it's a pity that I can't dance with my sword now. How about it? Are you satisfied?"

Andrew patted his belly regretfully. This iron sword needed at least a blacksmith to beat for more than ten days, and it was worth between five or six gold coins.

After all, Derek is only the third son of the baron, and he chooses to go out to work hard. This gift is still a little more affectionate.

Otherwise, sending a few iron spearheads is considered to be a ske for face.

Seeing this, Derek pulled out the refined iron sword with one hand.

The forged patterns are dense and look very beautiful.

The sharp blade flashing with cold light shows that it is not a good.

Derek danced a sword flower with one hand, and his superb swordsmanship was undoubtedly revealed.

Andrew's eyes lit up: "This level... is stronger than most knights in the family."

After playing a few times, Derek was very satisfied and went into the sheath, showing his proficiency in swords again.

"It's a great gift, thank you."
