Section 98 Bargaining

Robert's mercenaries were defeated, and Robert himself fled from the battlefield. Arod did not catch this guy who was slippery like a loach. However, when Arod led his Swiss mercenaries into the Monastery of St. Fonso, the monks in the monastery did not know the news of Robert's defeat. Until John Berg took out the head of the German mercenary captain, the people inside believed that their dean had indeed failed, but there were also some small twists and turns in the middle.

The senior monk with relatively old qualifications in the monastery was killed and burned in the prayer room by Robert. Robert's confidants followed him to the battlefield and fled. All that was left was only some monks with low qualifications and low status and inexperienced status. Among them were two factions, they were divided into surrender and refused to surrender. As a result, no one could convince anyone. However, Aruod, who was waiting outside the monastery, was already a little impatient. When he was waiting for nothing, he began to order the Swiss mercenaries to cut down trees, wanting to use the trees to make bumps to break through the wooden door of the monastery. The monks inside were even more frightened.

"We have a high-level monk, and we must invite him out." It was not until this time that they remembered that the monk Bart, the head of property of Dean Hoff Hannis, was still imprisoned. The monks rushed to the place where Monk Bart was imprisoned. There was no cold and wet abandoned cellar. The old Monk Bart was dying inside. When he was carried out by other monks, although he was weak, he was still mentally irresistible. He immediately ordered the monks to release Mrs. Eva, and then open the wooden door to welcome Aruod in. You must know that if the monastery is broken by force, it is hard to say that those bloodthirsty mercenaries would not rob the monastery.

When the door of the monastery opened, the timid monks made an invitation to Arod. Arod was not polite to kick the abdomen with the golden spur on his heel and rode into the Saint Fontsau Monastery. Looking at the prosperous manor and the exquisitely trimmed grape trellis in the monastery, the people who had just come down from the battlefield felt unprecedented tranquility, and the bells on the main building of the monastery rang. They echoed in the quiet monastery, which was only ringed when major events occurred in the monastery.

"Master Arod, Monk Barth invites you to our meeting." When Arod rode his horse into the courtyard in front of the main building of the monastery, a monk in a gray monk's suit said to him.

"Yes, but I must bring my own guards." Arod nodded in agreement, but just now fighting with Robert, he did not trust the monks in the Monastery of Saint Fontso. If a few assassins suddenly appeared in the people inside, wouldn't he die like Caesar?

"Of course, of course." The monks did not dare to reject him. At this time, Aruod and his seventy Swiss mercenaries were the only armed forces in this territory. It was the consensus of the monks to avoid angering them.

"Julian and Captain Johnberg followed me in, and the others were waiting outside. If you find something was wrong, you can rush in immediately." Arod ordered to his mercenaries.

"Yes, sir." The Swiss mercenaries promised, and they guarded the monastery with spears in their hands with serious faces. The murderous aura of the mercenaries made the monks very scared.

The main building of the monastery was made of solid stone. In the era of religious supremacy, all religious buildings were made of stone structures that were not easy to catch fire and were very strong. Pushing open the heavy door, inside it was a dome-shaped hall with a cross-shaped window hole to penetrate the sunlight into the interior. A group of monks were talking to each other in a low voice, and the echo made a buzzing sound through reflections inside the building.

"Arod." At this time, Arod heard Mrs. Eva's call. He saw Mrs. Eva sitting among several pillars in the hall, looking a little haggard. But she was still energetic.

"My mother." Aruod hurriedly walked forward. He knelt on one knee and held Mrs. Eva's cold hand, put it to her mouth and kissed her. Mrs. Eva looked at Aruod, who was wearing a chain mail in front of her with loving love and joy.

"Well, why is the heraldry on your hood not your father's?" Mrs. Eva noticed keenly that the heraldry on Arod's body covered with a chain mail. The heraldry on it was a black lion holding a rifle, which was completely different from her husband's.

"Mr. Arod has been granted the title of Earl of Mecklenburg by Duke Mason, so this is his own family armor." Julian walked forward respectfully, bowed to Mrs. Eva and explained.

"Oh? That's it." Mrs. Eva looked at Julian holding the sword and asked Arod in confusion.

"I am the guard who serves Lord Arod, Julian from Sir Avan's family." Julian introduced himself. This was the first time Julian showed Arod that he was willing to become an attendant of Arod. In fighting side by side with Julian, Arod felt that Julian was a trustworthy person, so he acknowledged his identity.

"Ha, my youngest son, after he went out, he became an earl." Lady Eva was surprised and ecstatic. She was surprised that after a war, Aruod's identity had changed drastically, and she was happy that her descendants had an earl.

"Julian is a little exaggerated. I don't have my own fiefdom yet. Duke Mason just gave me a title. In short, it's just an empty earl, just a mere example." Aruod said embarrassedly. On the contrary, Mrs. Eva comforted him for a long time. At this moment, the monks seemed to have finished discussing what happened. They stopped arguing and looked at Mrs. Eva and Aruod.

"What are they doing?" Aruod asked in confusion.

"You should know this. You defeated the bad guy, Dean Robert. Now there is a dean vacant to the Monastery of St. Fontso. They need to select a new dean to manage the Monastery of St. Fontso." Mrs. Eva explained to Arod.

"Dignity Madam Eva, and the respected Lord Arod, I am now the acting dean of the Monastery of Saint Fontso, your old friend Monk Bart." Monk Bart, supported by the two young monks, walked up to them tremblingly and said humbly to Mrs Eva and Arod.

"Oh, but I don't know this old guy." Arod frowned. He knew only the dead Dean Hoff Hannis, Sir Woodrow who informed the Wendell family, and the damn Robert, and the old man who seemed to be about to meet God, had no impression of him at all.

"Well, this is Monk Bart. He is my old friend. When Robert imprisoned me without authorization, he tried to help me, but was imprisoned by Robert because of failure." Mrs. Eva introduced to Arod.

"Is that so? Hello Monk Bart." Arod smiled when he heard that he was a monk who helped his mother. In fact, he had no good feelings for these Robert's accomplices. Although Monk Bart became the acting dean, Arod was still ready to make a good decision on the Monastery of Saint Fangso, which is the right of his winner.

Monk Bart is worthy of being a senior monk who has existed since the time of Dean Hofhanis. He is very clear about the ideas of these nobles. The reason why the warlike nobles are happy with war is not the spoils after the war. Although this time it was a grudge between Robert and the Wendell family, Robert was still the dean of the Monk of St. Fontsor at that time, and Robert had already escaped from the battlefield. Therefore, the responsibility for this defeat fell on the monastery. At the first moment of becoming the acting dean of the Monk of St. Fontsor, how to resolve the compensation for the war became something that Monk Bart needs to solve.

"We are willing to give out 500 silver saunas, ten barrels of wine, and a caravan of food as a thank you for Lord Arod's defeat of the evil Robert." Monk Bart said to Arod in advance, trying to change his concept to characterize this dispute as a personal grudge between Robert and the Wendell family.

"You're wrong, Monk Bart." Aruod didn't sell Monk Bart's account. He looked at the old man with his eyes squinted, and wanted to use such a little thing to dispose of himself. It was too beautiful to think about it.

"So how much do you want?" Monk Bart looked at the very young but very calm count in front of him and thought he had heard it wrong, because he knew the Wendell family, which might have produced many jazz and even barons, but an earl had never heard of it.

"At least a thousand silver saunas, fifty barrels of wine, and ten carts of food." The lion of Arod opened his mouth and more than doubled the price of the trophy, but he knew that the wealthy Monastery of Saint Fontsau could afford it.

"What? So many, we are just God's humble and poor servants, how can we give you so many things? I hope that the kind and noble Count Arod, who will lower his demands for God's sake." After hearing Arod's words, Monk Barth opened his eyes wide in surprise, opened his mouth wide, and said in surprise.

"Also, I want the Monastery of St. Fontsau to temporarily hand over a property near Mecklenburg County to me for management." Arod was indifferent to Monaster Batt's begging. He stretched out his finger and said to Monaster Batt. The reason he knew that the estate of a manor in Monaster Batt was completely because of the information provided by the fallen monk that the Swiss caught, and the monk betrayed Monaster Elvit of Monaster Batt and others.

In order to save his life, Monk Elvit tried every means to let the Swiss meet Arod. As Robert's trust, he also knew Arod's desire for land in Mecklenburg County, so he told Arod the news that the Earl of Artmark gave to Saint Fontsau Monastery was extremely beneficial to Arod's attack on Mecklenburg County.
