Chapter 20: Compassionate Father

“Are you awake?”

This is Priest Louis’s voice!

When Jon woke up, he heard this voice that he was respectful but fearful of before opening his eyes

“I have noLouis’s voice, Jon closed his eyes and shouted in reflex, “I’h and laughed helplessly, “Calm down, you don’t need to pay for it this time

“Your feudal lord has spoken The injury is inflicted in your service to defend Freezing Water Port The official accounts will settle the bills That’s to say; you will be reimbursed”

Awesoh of relief subconsciously

Since he was in a coh the battle, he did not kno the battle turned out afterward, whether he suffered other injuries, and how long his injury was delayed So, he did not kno much money he would need to treat this injury He lah he was only shot once and in the leg, it was not a big deal to be amputated With the Silver Sire’s unique skills, amputation would not cost too much money

The old captain’s treatment fee had terrified and scarred Jon

The old captain was on the verge of death when he was sent to the church due to the battle’s delays By the time he was taken to the church, the treatment fee had risen to 26 pounds This was still the price after coinal price was 28 pounds

The price was no exaggeration and called a spade a spade

It somehow illustrated the price of human life

The old captain could not afford it either

But, he used to be a veteran If he eht be able to afford it Possibly, he would need to sell his beautiful arh to afford the treatment

But, he was reluctant He felt like he could not earn thehalf of his life It was better off to leave more money for the children

There was no salary for the , they were ordinary townspeople, each with their jobs Most of them were fishermen The only benefit was to receive a little bit ofthe holidays every year

When the toas in danger, they would take up their weapons and assee The militia service only required a weapon to participate, so most of them did not even have leather armor

TheAfter all, they were all fisher when they had nothing to do Sure enough, their speed and accuracy were adequate

Most importantly, the spear was cheap, at least much more affordable than a stainless steel sword At least to the extent that every fa Water Port had no iron ore They all replied on import

But ordinary fishermen could earn about ten pounds per person a year if they did not catch anything precious Their income was little, but somehow much better than farmers in the mainland

It should be mentioned that the mayor’s clerk earnt more than 30 pounds a year

But the proble daily expenses and taxes, there was not ood for a fisherman to save one or two pounds each year already

For his injury to be cured, it would cost at least four or five pounds He would be capable of forking out the money from the family’s wealth However, once that happened, his fas were co brother was getting married soon

So, Jon was troubled He did not even kno to tell his faht it would be better to die and ask his family to carry his body to the mayor to ask for some monetary compensation

Or he could be like the old captain, spend ten shi+llings to dig out the bullets and heal the wounds, leaving the rest to fate

It depended on whether Silver Sire would take care of hi about it, Silver Sire would not like a stingy person like hi to his senses, Jon could not help but sigh, “Thank you, ht not be as ht even be less the nobles’ ood wine, or even their co Water Port to the Royal Capital cost a old pounds

But, for civilians like thes worth up to 7 years, which will directly affect their family’s life for ood person”

Jon exclaimed and tried to sit up from the bed

“Be careful Don’t overstrain yourself these few days Your wounds are not fully healed yet, so save it for not tearing the wound again”
