Chapter 6: The Guardians

"Master Thor, isn't it time for Pokai Village to establish a team of guardians?" Steward Deacon suggested to Li Hong. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Guardians?" Li Hong doesn't know much about this, and there may be such a character in the game, but because it is not a mainstream class, players cannot be employed, and there has not been much news about the guardian in the game.

Li Hong only knew that the guardians were the equivalent of the guards of a city, and they were all serving the supreme leaders of the local human settlements, and even the kingdom could not be mobilized at will. It's the equivalent of the knights of the Middle Ages, who only obeyed the objects of their allegiance.

"Now that Pokai Village is just a village-level settlement, do you need to establish a guardian?" Li Hong asked Deacon to take care of things.

Steward Deacon touched the mustache that had just grown recently, nodded and said, "Young Master, do you think that Bokai Village is still a long way away from the town level?" It will be too late to be established, and now that there are more people in Pokei Village, there will occasionally be some trouble, and the lack of guards to maintain daily security will reduce the sense of security of the villagers. ”

Deacon's steward said it was reasonable, and Li Hong was speechless. Li Hong waved his hand, "Since you say so, let's build it up first, but on the surface, don't give them a name, and wait until they become the town before coming to Anga." Otherwise, there will be opinions on the family side and the kingdom side. ”

"Well, I can save this, so young master, how many people do you need this time?"

"With a number of nearly five hundred, there is no need to keep too many guards, otherwise the finances will not be able to bear it, ten is enough, the captain can be recruited from the trainee hunters who have no hope of promotion, and the rest will try not to hinder the development of various industries." Li Hong ordered to go down, and Deacon immediately went to do it. This is the advantage of the superiors, and after making a good decision, how to implement it is up to the people below to do it.

"Guardians......" Li Hong sighed, what the reason was, it is estimated that no one except Li Hong himself understood.

――――――――

Although the guardians do not appear many times in the game, and most of the time they are situations that do not affect the development of the story, there is one story that even the players suffer from. It was the famous 'Chernoden Mutiny'.

Chernoden was originally the leader of the defenders of a small city, leading more than a hundred defenders of that small city, originally with his position at that time, as long as he was stable, it was inevitable to become the middle manager of the small city, but for some reason, he chose to mutiny! The town's administrators were almost slaughtered by the guardians, and players who didn't even know what was going on were eliminated several times during that incident.

Although the players will not really die, but every time they 'die', the players pay a lot of gold, and even one unlucky player was hacked to death more than a dozen times in a row, and the gold coins were directly deducted into a negative number, the player angrily deleted the number and abandoned the pit, and the rest of the players also suffered heavy losses.

And the worst thing is that small city, where the upper echelons died and no one managed them, and the residents began to make trouble; The hunters were killed in the war, some fled, and the players were killed several times to change their permanent residence and leave the town, which resulted in no one destroying the surrounding monsters, and it wasn't long before hordes of monsters began to attack the town. Chernoden, the defenders, and a large number of its inhabitants died at the monster's feet, and the town became history.

――――――――

Li Hong was worried about the rebellion of the defenders, although he knew that with his attitude towards the residents, no one would choose to betray, but he was afraid of everything. Li Hong is now a thorn in the side of many people in the family, in case someone bribes the guards...... Li Hong sighed again.

Although he is afraid that such a thing will happen, but he can't give up food because of choking, Li Hong can't deny the importance of the guards to manage law and order, hunters are always hunters, they are good at hunting monsters, not maintaining law and order, and they specialize in the art industry.

"Young Master." Li Hong came back to his senses, it was the voice of the clerk.

"What's the matter, you don't follow Deacon to take notes, do you have something to report to me?" Li Hong asked this middle-aged woman who is over half a hundred years old, but because she still maintains exercise, and at the same time, she often maintains a facial paralysis, just looking at her face will only think that she is only in her thirties.

"Steward Deacon asked me to ask if this transaction with the family is to give up some gold coins and let the family exchange talents." The clerk explained to Li Hong while flipping through the records, "The current development of Bokai Village is not very balanced, some industries have not been developed at all, and there are no corresponding appraisers stationed in your newly established laboratory, young master. ”

"It seems that Deacon is quite experienced, and I thought he would ignore something at a young age." Li Hong showed a relieved smile, Li Hong did not tell Deacon to manage the laboratory, just to see how long it would take for him to notice the vacant studio, and Deacon's ability to manage things made Li Hong very praised, and only half a day later he found out the topic that Li Hong left for him.

"Tell Deacon what talents are still needed in Bokai Village, and let him report the number to the family, but they can't all be replaced by talents, and Pokai Village still needs some funds to operate." Li Hong commanded, and suddenly Li Hong thought of something again, "Has the market for high-end weapons developed, I remember that I have already shown the forging ability of Bokai Village to those hunters in the past, it should be in the Southern Wilderness region, there is no settlement that can surpass us." ”

"Okay, I'll tell Deacon the truth." The clerk pushed his glasses, quickly turned the pages of the document in his hand, and then answered Li Hong's question, "The development of the sales of high-end weapons is still unclear, and it is clear that only a few hunters have placed orders, or the orders placed by your old acquaintances, young master." ”

"Old acquaintances?"

"Well, Miss Tina's team in Snowwood. Their order consisted of a broadsword, two swords, a hunting bow, and a heavy crossbow. The amount is in the thousands of gold coins. "The clerk's expression when he said such a large amount of money still hasn't changed much, and the transaction of thousands of gold coins in the Gloria family is very common, but considering that this is the Southern Wilderness, he is still a little surprised in his heart, but he still maintains the appearance of facial paralysis on the surface.

"Obediently, those women's soldiers are so rich, they are all rich women. However, most of them are mid-level hunters, and it is not difficult to think of a few hundred gold coins per person. Li Hong waved his hand, "Unless it's Tina's own order, it's better to follow the rules, if you send too many favors in the front, it's not easy to talk in the back." ”

"I see."
