Chapter Thirty-Six: The Guards Are Formed
Early the next morning, on the hillside to the east of the village, all the villagers said goodbye to Hyères with oil-paper umbrellas, and the first group of adventurers who had been invited to come also stood in the crowd.
"I am saddened by the loss of a loyal warrior, but the dead are gone, and the living will continue to work for tomorrow. β
"Here, I announce the official establishment of the Hammond Guard, and each member of the Guard will take the protection of Hammond as the highest code of conduct, and build the first line of defense of Hammond with the belief of mercy, bravery, loyalty, and unity. β
"The Guard's pay is 30 Silver Wolves per month. β
"For every villager who died defending Hammond, his family will receive a pension of 10 golden dragons. β
"HyΓ¨re is an orphan, so I decided to give the 10 golden dragons to his lover, Miss Flora. β
Getting the heavy money bag sent by Lin Xiu, Flora was at a loss, Yael was an orphan, according to the custom, Lin Xiu did not have to pay a pension, and the pension of up to ten golden dragons was unheard of.
Lin Xiu originally planned to use the money as the cost of the villagers' hotels, but now that the reconstruction of the village was proceeding in an orderly manner, he thought about it and felt that it would be more meaningful to use the money to encourage the villagers to surround Hammond.
In the crowd, a little old man kept opening his mouth, reminding Lin Xiu of something.
Seeing Eugene's impatient appearance, Lin Xiu smiled lightly: "Hammond Academy has been established, just south of the village, where you can learn martial arts skills, learn magic, and become a powerful professional, now the tuition will be paid by the village, that is to say, the tuition is free, because the space is limited, only 30 people are enrolled, aged 5-18 years old, if you are interested, you can ask Teacher Eugene about the specific situation." β
After Lin Xiu finished speaking, the villagers began to discuss:
"Yesterday I saw a strange old man talking about Hammond, but I didn't expect it to be true. β
"But I saw that the person holding the sign looked very obscene, especially when he saw Teresa, he actually drooled, I thought these three people were liars!"
"What kind of liar? Miss Nukui is also among the three of them, Miss Nukui has been following the village chief, how can she be a liar? If it weren't for the lack of money, I would have taken my children to sign up, just now the village chief said that the tuition is free, and there are only 30 places, no, I have to hurry, otherwise there will be no places." β
Halfway through hearing this, Eugene was so angry that he immediately pulled out the rattan, and Wren immediately trembled with fright.
The woman named Teresa was Hammond's village flower, and he looked at it twice at most, how could he drool? This is a naked slander! Wren protested loudly in his heart.
However, with the rushing crowd, the angry look on Eugene's face slowly turned into a blooming old chrysanthemum, and the rattan was also taken back, otherwise he would be beaten and cried in public, and Rao, who was extremely thick-skinned, could only find an application to Lin Xiu for going out to practice.
"Maybe it's really a good choice to stay in this village. Simmons looked at Lin Xiu, who turned away, and said with a thin back.
"But is it really worth it to use this reward to upgrade weapons?" Archer Jerry felt a little sorry for those golden dragons who had just arrived and had not yet been hot, a full 2.5 golden dragons!
"I can't bear the child can't trap the wolf, now this village has not yet developed, and it needs funds to develop, I bet that when there are more people here, the price here will at least increase several times, and even if we take ten gold dragons, we may not be able to let the blacksmith shop help us upgrade our weapons." "Kyle the Wizard has a different attitude than Jerry when it comes to upgrading his weapons.
"No matter how much potential the village has for development, we will not be able to make a conclusion until this tidal disaster has passed. The barbarian Charman said sullenly.
The female assassin Elsa put her hands behind her back, stood upright, looked at her back hazy by the rain and mist, and held two dimples on her face: "This person named Lin Xiu is very mysterious, I don't know why, I feel that he will definitely lead the villagers of this village through this disaster safely." β
Jerry tilted his head and pointed at Elsa with an exaggerated expression: "You can't like that village chief, do you?" Ersa wake up, you are just a stray cat, no nobleman would like a stray cat." β
"He's not a nobleman now. Elsa suddenly felt that something was wrong in the middle of her words, she didn't even want an umbrella, and chased Jerry with a fist with a face of shame: "Jerry, you bastard, you dare to tease me, fight to the death!"
Jerry was not afraid, and when he ran away, he didn't forget to shout at Simmons: "Boss, it's time to save money, otherwise with Elsa's condition, there will really be no fun if the dowry is still small." β
"Jerry, you're looking for death!"
Looking at the two of them fighting like children, Simmons smiled helplessly, standing at the top of the hill with a panoramic view of the entire Hammond.
Who would have thought that this remote and inconspicuous village would have such a strong vitality?
Everything converges on that person, who looks extremely ordinary at a glance, but can quietly affect everyone around him.
Maybe settling here is really a good choice.
Back at home, members of the guard team came back one after another, and they still had the task of mining today, sending the villagers into the secret realm, and the whole hall was empty again.
"My lord, is it still a real combat training today?" Li Yan asked, there was a boxing ring in the training room, which could allow people to fight one-on-one, although this battlefield was too small for him to exert his full strength, but if the opponent was Lord Lin Xiu, this was enough.
"I'll practice again in the afternoon, now you can help me find some villagers to come over and help me send the ore I dug up in the past two days to the armor store. "In the past two days, there are 15 baskets of bronze ore and 3 baskets of bronze ore dug out of the secret realm, if you don't clean it up, I'm afraid the basement will have no feet.
"Yes, sir. β
After a while, Li Yan came with more than 20 villagers, the villagers are men and women, they are all parents who send their children to study in the college, because there is nothing to do, they gather in groups at the door of the college, outside the window to see how this Mr. Eugene teaches, but they are all older people, the ability to accept knowledge is not as good as that of children, and they began to fall asleep after a while.
Command the villagers to work in pairs to deliver baskets full of ore to the armor shop, and make three round-trips, and the basement will be empty.
Taking Li Yan to the armor shop, Lin Xiu customized 40 sets of second-order chain mail from Karina, and the price of each second-order chain mail was 10 silver wolves, which could effectively resist the attacks of second-order monsters.
Lin Xiu directly allocated 100,000 energy points to Karina, and at the same time handed over two baskets of iron ore to Karina, which was requested by Karina, otherwise if the adventurer's guild purchased iron ore, the price would have to be at least several times higher, and the 20,000 energy values were only equivalent to Karina's labor costs.
Looking at the remaining fifteen baskets of bronze mines, as well as the hopeful gazes of the villagers, Lin Xiu simply spent another 15,000 energy points to customize another 150 sets of first-order chain mail.
In this way, Lin Xiu's energy value was only 135,000.
It was agreed that 40 sets of second-order chain mail would be traded two days later, and Lin Xiu and Li Yan entered the Adventurer's Guild with the last half basket of iron ore.
Since the price had been set by the system a long time ago, Lin Xiu did not bargain and left the Adventurer Guild directly with the 5 golden dragons he had sold.
