Hatred may fade, but it will never disappear.
It can be seen that Daval is trying his best to control his emotions at this time, but his intense emotional fluctuations cannot escape Liu Huaqiang's eyes.
Daval's chest rose and fell rapidly, and the scenes of his time with his father kept flashing in his mind.
Two lines of tears flowed down Daval's dirty cheeks, and his eyes were filled with anger that almost burst out.
"Speak out, speak out your heart. Daval, my brother, what you think in your heart is exactly what I want to do."
Liu Huaqiang's voice sounded in Daval's ears again, giving him the final courage and confidence.
"I want to kill those damn Ottomans and let them pay a tragic price for their sins!"
Daval said the words that had been suppressed in his heart in a hoarse voice.
Of course, at this time, Daval still maintained the last bit of rationality, and even vented his inner emotions, he deliberately lowered his voice.
You have to know that there are more than 300 Ottoman soldiers living inside and outside the manor. If he shouts, it will definitely bring disaster to himself.
Even if the Ottomans don't understand what he said because of the language barrier, they will break Dawar's neck like killing a helpless little rabbit because they disturb their rest.
Seeing that Dawar can keep this calm, Liu Huaqiang is happy in his heart. The young man in front of him is fully capable of the task that will be assigned to him.
Liu Huaqiang stretched out his right hand, held the back of Dawar's head, and pressed his forehead against his own.
"My brother, I have the same idea as you. I want to kill every Ottoman in our land.
But I am too weak now. In order to achieve my goal, I need your help."
"Sir, if you need me to do anything, just tell me.
Even now, if you ask me to assassinate the Ottoman envoy, I will rush over with a sickle without hesitation!"
Dawar's emotions have been completely mobilized by Liu Huaqiang. Even if he is asked to die at this time, he will not hesitate.
Liu Huaqiang will not let the subordinates he has recruited die in vain.
Liu Huaqiang looked into Daval's eyes with his deep eyes and said, "A reckless man can't accomplish anything great. I will never allow worthless sacrifices.
My brother, what I asked you to do is far more meaningful than assassinating an Ottoman."
"My lord, I'm just a little horseman. Apart from this life, I don't know what else I can offer you."
"Daval, after tonight, you will no longer be a little horseman, but a glorious knight.
I, Vlad III, the master of Wallachia, am here to canonize my friend, the brave Daval, as a glorious knight."
Ideals are important, but they can't be eaten as food in many cases. Only by giving some benefits can your followers be devoted to you.
At this moment, Daval couldn't believe his ears.
Knights may not be a big deal in the eyes of nobles, but for him, they are definitely existences that he needs to look up to for a lifetime.
While Daval was still in a daze, Liu Huaqiang glanced around the stable and finally saw a long-handled brush next to the trough.
Liu Huaqiang walked over, bent down to pick up the long-handled brush, and then continued to say to Daval:
"I'm sorry, I don't have a long sword to confer you now, so I can only find something to deal with it. You don't mind, do you?"
"Of course I don't mind, but my lord, I haven't received any training or assessment, I'm afraid I don't have the qualifications to become a knight."
Daval's expression was very contradictory. He longed to become a knight, but he felt that it was against the rules, so he was a little entangled.
"This is not a problem. I have the final say on who to confer as a knight.
Besides, to become a knight, you need a firm will and the courage to defend your homeland. In my opinion, you already have all these.
Don't waste time. If I'm out for too long, the Ottomans will be suspicious. Kneel down on one knee now and accept my conferment."
These words dispelled Daval's little entanglement in his heart. He knelt on one knee again, and his whole body was shaking with excitement.
"I, Daval of Snowbornia, swear to God that from now on, I will be loyal to the great Duke of Tepes.
No matter what the situation is, even if I know that moving forward means death, I will step forward without hesitation to defend the dignity and interests of Duke Tepes."
Daval read out his oath based on the story he heard from the troubadour.
Then, he unbuttoned his clothes and exposed his back.
Liu Huaqiang did not hesitate and used the long-handled brush in his hand to tap Daval's exposed back three times.
"Praise God."
"Praise the angel Michael."
"Praise Georg the Victor."
While tapping, Liu Huaqiang also said the meaning of each tap.
Then, before he could react, Daval knelt on his knees and kissed his leather boots fiercely.
Hearing the sound of "tsk", Liu Huaqiang almost couldn't control himself and wanted to kick Daval away.
Damn bad habits, whether in the East or the West, after the knight is canonized, the knight must kiss the lord's feet.
The reason why Daval didn't do this when they just met was that he felt that his status was too low and he was not qualified to kiss the Duke's feet.
Ancient people had such a weird way of thinking. The strict hierarchy and identity concept firmly bound their thoughts.
After kissing Liu Huaqiang's feet, Daval took the long-handled brush, stood up from the ground as a knight, and straightened his waist.
From now on, he is the honorable Daval Knight, and people who know this story often call him the Stable Knight.
After the enthronement, Liu Huaqiang officially assigned the task. He said solemnly: "Dawar, I need you to gather a trustworthy secret force as quickly as possible."
"What? Let me summon a secret force? My lord, what do I need to do to complete the task?"
Dawar, who was full of excitement, suddenly fell in color. He knew how to brush the horse's hair, add feed to the horse, and even learned some veterinary knowledge.
But these things have nothing to do with summoning a secret force. He is just a sixteen-year-old groom.
Looking at Dawar's embarrassed expression, Liu Huaqiang had already anticipated these, and he was helpless to do so.
The Ottomans' supervision of him was very strict, and it was difficult for him to contact outsiders, so now he could only rely on Dawar to complete this almost impossible task.
Fortunately, Liu Huaqiang already had a general plan in mind. He gave Dawar a trusting look, and then told Dawar the key points of the plan.
"First, find war orphans like you. After you are sure they can be trusted, show your identity as a knight and organize them.
Second, find former veterans and those who are dissatisfied with the Ottoman Empire. Remember, don't look for those who are like the grudge women and can only talk nonsense.
Third, prepare weapons, longbows, long swords, short knives and even wooden spears. Use whatever you have and arm everyone.
Finally, tell these fearless people that their efforts will win hope for the future of Wallachia. They are heroes of the country."
Regarding armed riots, Liu Huaqiang only has theoretical knowledge. He combined the current environment and gave Daval some simple suggestions.
Then, Liu Huaqiang turned over his pockets again and finally found two Ducat gold coins, five Ottoman Ik silver coins, eight Gros silver coins, and twenty-three Deniel coins.
This money is all Liu Huaqiang's belongings. The original owner of the body, Tsepesh, is just a hostage. Don't expect him to bring much money.
The total value of these money is about 700 deniers, and one pound of rye bread is worth two deniers.
The money Liu Huaqiang gave to Dawar is only equivalent to 350 kilograms of grain.
Note: The Ducat gold coin is a gold coin issued by Venice. In this era, it is equivalent to the US dollar in later generations and is used worldwide.
The Ottoman Ik silver coin is the currency issued by the Ottoman Turkish Empire.
The Gros silver coin is issued by Venice.
In terms of conversion, one Ducat gold coin is equivalent to 20 Gros silver coins, 36 Ik silver coins, and 240 Denier coins.
At that time, one pound contained 233.28 grams of silver.
One Ducat gold coin contained 3.56 grams of gold.
One pound = 4 Ducat gold coins.
In addition, the monetary system of the entire Europe in this era was very complicated, and various gold and silver coins emerged in an endless stream.
Therefore, all currencies that appear later will be converted into the base currency Denier to more accurately express the currency value.
