Chapter 10 Each has a plan
Lindong Lake Station.
It was getting late, and when Arthur returned from practicing at Lindong Lake, he saw Jose, Monkey, and Lund all waiting at the door of his wooden house.
"Something?"
"It's okay, I just wanted to talk to you. The monkey came over with a hippie smile and two jugs of wine in his hand. Lund behind him was also carrying something in his hand, and he guessed that it was food.
"I'm really hungry, so I'm eating and talking in my house. ”
Arthur is now fully integrated into the team, and the relationship in the army is simpler than in society, Arthur first rescued Jose, and then distributed the equipment allocated to himself to the three squad leaders, which was quickly recognized by the entire squadron of soldiers.
A few people sat around the charcoal stove, and Arthur tore a chicken leg directly from the oiled paper bag that Lund had opened, "Say, what's the matter?"
The monkey nudged José, "You say?"
José pulled out a small purse of money from his bosom and poured a small pile in front of Arthur with a clang.
Arthur glanced at it, except for seven gold coins, the rest were silver and copper coins, and this small pile added up to only eleven or twelve gold coins, "Why are you bribing me?"
"No, our field army can't compare to the city guards in the city, and life is hard, and there is no other income except for the military salary issued from above. The soldiers below only have six gold coins a year, and the monkey squad leader and I are only ten gold coins, and the military salary we have worked so hard for a year is not enough for a meal for the nobles in the city. ”
"Getting to the point. ”
Jose smiled embarrassedly, and also felt that he was verbose, "We can only rely on hunting to supplement the income of the brothers, this is the income of the previous month, according to the rules, you take one-third, the three of us take one-third, and the rest is divided equally among the brothers below." ”
"There's not much money this month, huh?" Arthur, who made his first pot of gold from the windfall profits of enchanted equipment, now looks down on these small amounts of money.
"This is already the most monthly income I've seen in these years, and there is money exchanged for the two little devil bearskins and crystal nuclei, and it usually only earns two or three gold coins a month. José explained embarrassedly.
"I don't want my share, but divide it equally with the brethren below. ”
The monkey immediately smiled all over his face, "I just said that the captain doesn't want it, how can someone from the Blood Yao Academy look up to such a small amount of money?"
"No, the rules are the rules, and the captain's share must be taken. "José is stubborn almost wooden at times.
"Then buy all my share in the bar, and then I'll invite you and the brothers to drink. ”
"That'll do. Jose thought for a moment before putting the money back away.
Arthur found that Jose and the three of them were not rigid in terms of benefiting their own people, so he said tentatively: "After all, you guys are doing this for a little money, I have a way to make a lot of money, do you have the guts to do it?"
Monkey and Lund's eyes lit up immediately, "We have the courage to fight with the orcs, and we still lack the courage to make money, as long as the captain takes us, our whole squadron will do it with you!"
José did not immediately take a stand, but he did not object.
Arthur took out two pieces of enchanted equipment directly from the space bracelet, a third-level armor and a fourth-level longsword. Two pieces of enchanted equipment, one from Arthur's own creation, and one from the last robbery of the trading house. Since Arthur himself had the bracelet, Arthur had taken all the remaining "swag" that had been stored with Joan.
"There is a problem with the way these two things come from, is there a way to make a move inside?"
Jose's eyes immediately straightened, they had no chance to touch enchanted equipment at their level before.
"No problem, I have a channel to make a move, enchanting equipment is valuable in the army, these things are too tempting for officers at the level of captain and battalion commander!" Jose said in an excited voice.
"Then you can contact the buyer, but you can't reveal the source of the thing. I'll take 80% of the money from the sale, and you will get 20%, is there a problem?"
"Captain, don't worry, no one in the army asks about the source of these things, even if someone asks, we say that they are the trophies captured during the interception of the orc hunting team, and when the time comes, they will not be able to check one or two orc corpses. "Jose, a veteran, is very experienced in this.
Monkey and Lund nodded excitedly on the side, according to the market price, if these two pieces of enchanted equipment can be successfully sold, Arthur will give them fifty gold coins at 20%, which is equivalent to their income in the past two years.
As for the origin of Arthur's two enchanted equipment, they didn't care? they were now firmly tied to Arthur.
Arthur smiled like a little fox, just like he imagined, no matter how powerful your Light Church is, you can't check the source of the enchanted equipment in the hands of the officers of the Kingdom Field Legion, right?
......
Zingalore, Headquarters of the Church of Light.
A tall knight in silver armor slowly walked into the west hall of the church, his boots making a crisp sound with each step of the cyan marble.
A middle-aged priest in a purple robe sat on a tall chair under the statue of light with a smile on his face, and this person was none other than Cardinal Diliel, one of the three giants of the Church.
The head of the Knights of Light, the eleventh rank grand knight, Vance Wimburn, took off his helmet and held it in his arms with one hand, and bowed up slightly, "You summoned me, Bishop Dyriel?"
"Captain Vance, there are no outsiders here, you can feel free as you please. Dilier greeted with a smile.
Van Si took a few steps forward and took his seat next to Bishop Dilill.
"Captain Van Si, please come over, I want to ask about the Dark Mage incident that happened in Sunsetting Ridge a month ago, how is the investigation by the Inquisition?" asked Dilier softly, seemingly casually.
"You know, incidents involving heresy have always been the responsibility of the Inquisition, and we Knight of Light are not very easy to intervene directly. ”
Dilier smiled, "The Inquisition can't find anything in the future, so you Knights of Light are ready to take over secretly." ”
Fan Si was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively, "What does the archbishop mean?"
"Archbishop Sosis, though he did not say it explicitly, was already very dissatisfied with the Inquisition. Three years ago, they spent a lot of manpower and material resources on the Church to catch so many people, but they never caught the fish that slipped through the net, so that the archbishop lost face with the Pope. Now that the little fish that had run away had grown up and had come out again, the archbishop was of course not happy. ”
"It's strange that the court didn't arrest anyone this time?"
Dilil smiled with contempt, "Do you think those fools in the Inquisition didn't think about arresting people?, but this time the people involved in this matter are all students of the Blood Yao Academy, if it is an ordinary noble child, it is also the son of Rex and the daughter of the Grand Duke of Ross. If the Inquisition really dares to touch these people, it will be tantamount to forcing Southis to have a showdown with Strachey in advance, they are planning to roast the archbishop on the fire!"
Van Si frowned, "When it comes to divine power and royal power, it is also very troublesome for our Light Knight to get involved. ”
"We can't move on the surface, but we can think of something else. ”
"The cardinal, please. ”
Dillir smiled like an old fox, "Aren't the students involved in this matter going to the legion to train this year? Our Church of Light also has the obligation to protect the children of the gods of the Isaac Kingdom from orcs, and send some trainee Light Knights and Light Priests to the army, Stredge always says nothing, right?"
