>>5316580>>5316582>>5316587>>5316591Thank you.
>>5316659>>5316663Thank you good sir.
>>5316689>>5316703You thought longly about the cuirass, on one hand it needed to be destroyed, on the other hand you really needed money. And after all even if Saracens had their blades blessed by their priests it did not forbid rich Frenchmen to have daggers and swords of Damas steel. Yes, definitely you could sell this thing and build a church, even if it is tainted by magic. After all even heroes from the chansons de geste like Renaud de Montauban used magical weapons like his Floberge. Yes you could sell this artefact. So you declared.
-We will sell this thing, it will give us money to establish a church.
Then you ordered your men to continue the travels by road. After all you were wounded. You bode farewell to Lady Sue and continued in an uneventful travel. You only needed to borrow a chariot against a bag of grains to transport all your loot. According to your calculations and those of Oldfossil the brave Louis de Pierredargent, the Templar knight, should have arrived at Local with your loan before you will be back.
After two days of travelling, sometimes on horse, sometimes, because of your ankle, on a chariot, you finally saw Local and said to Father François, who had never seen it.
-Look ! Look at this ! My own fief ! Hah, if my lord father saw it he would be proud, and my older brothers, knowing them, jealous. See this castle, it is as strong as Villeroi.
Father François laughed a bit and answered, after seeing the powerful castle that dominated the Queste river and it's high dungeon.
-Do not judge your brothers harshly monseigneur, but I agree, monseigneur Eudes would be proud of you. You acquired a fief in faraway India like a lot of men from our lands did in the Crusades.
This made you think about some words of Charles de Valois, when you heard him at his hostel "The Crusades ! For more than fifty years we have done nothing great in Europe for Christianity since then !" He was right, the Crusades were things of the past, your father talked about them, well you fought in the crusade against the heretical king of Aragon when you were a squire but it has been more or less 14 years ago. No, you needed to bring back the crusades, here, in India. You have already begun to bring back serfdom, you will bring back the crusades. And all India will shine as an exemple of a good Christian kingdom. Yes ! All India, but you will begin by Bifuria.
But what to do first when you will be back in your fortress ?
>See if Brother Louis is here, to talk about the loan.>Talk with Godefroi and Captain Crumbling, you need to know how they have ruled in your absence.>Take a look around the village, your people must know that you are back.>Show the heretical temple of Monsanto to Father François, ask him if we can convert it to a church.>Ask for a healer for your ankle.>Other (write in)You loose 2 piety for keeping the cuirass.
