Chapter 485 - Purchase and Recruitment

After a while, after confirming that it would not snow today, Rudolph went to buy some food, and after eating, put another bag on the carriage and asked her Cheng Qianxun to hide in the carriage to eat, and then immediately continued on his way. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The weather is getting colder, and sometimes it is not necessarily cold when it snows, but it is even colder on this snowmelt day when there are drops of melting snow from time to time.

Sitting in the carriage, Rudolph covered his cloak tightly, and simply put Cheng Qianxun on his lap to catch the car.

Cheng Qianxun closed his eyes and exposed his nose through the gap in his cloak, otherwise it would be too hot. Eat and drink enough, and fall asleep in a daze.

At night, it's time to sleep in the wilderness. When the bonfire was lit, Cheng Qianxun changed into a human form again. The two were silently preparing dinner, and Cheng Qianxun was doing what he could.

Eating and looking at the bonfire, perhaps Rudolph was a little bored, and said as if to himself: "I don't like to cut people alive, I do this only because others don't dare to mess with you, and it saves a lot of things." You know, in fact, I also want to find a woman and live a stable and normal life. But what woman dares to join me? The women I met before, they only thought about themselves, and no one was like you. ā€

Cheng Qianxun looked at him, and Rudolph suddenly sneered at himself: "Yes, you have a purpose and want me to call your name." Why is this, to help the devil collect souls? ā€

Cheng Qianxun shook his head at him, closed his eyes, and sighed slightly. But she felt someone touching her face, so she opened her eyes and looked at Rudolph in surprise.

Rudolph looked at her, put his hand on her face, and said very seriously: "If I become a nobleman, do you want to be with me?" I can protect you from anyone else. You can be assured that no one will want to skin you, and there will never be a hostess to bother you, and at night, you are the hostess. ā€

Sure enough, it was a long-term love, Cheng Qianxun didn't know what to say, and looked at him sadly. In fact, there is a big gap between Sneijder and her, let alone Rudolph. If Rudolph regained his memory and remembered everything before, would the agent, who is accustomed to seeing blonde and blue-eyed and long-legged Russian beauties, still be interested in her?

Foreigners' view of marriage is completely different from that of the East, they think that only with love can they be together, after all, their welfare is quite good. Rudolph, on the other hand, is someone who can throw away anything, so it's not for her.

Rudolph smiled: "Let's talk about it after I become a nobleman, there is still a lot of time." He stood up, got into the carriage and lay down, while his hand naturally held the sword in the blanket.

Cheng Qianxun sat by the campfire and continued to eat her dinner slowly, watching the fire.

Is there a lot of time? That depends on the rules of the game in the Celestial Realm, and so far, she hasn't found a pattern.

At dawn the next day, Cheng Qianxun got up from the bunk and jumped to Rudolph's side, and Rudolph also stretched out an arm to hug her. Snow Fox is indeed very warm, and she is willing to keep Rudolph warm when she is in beast form.

When the sun rose until about eight o'clock, Rudolph began to pack up and drove on.

Before noon, he took out the black bread and spread out the oil-wrapped paper in front of Cheng Qianxun: "Eat a little, it should be there at noon, and you have to do something then." ā€

Cheng Qianxun eats, and in this era, he generally doesn't eat breakfast.

Finally arrived at a relatively large city, said to be a city, but in fact it is not much bigger than Regel's city. A piece of the city gate drawbridge was lowered, and guards standing in uniform clothes stopped in front of them with spears, and every person who passed by, he had to throw a copper coin, which was equivalent to the entrance fee. Rudolph did not get out of the carriage, drove directly in, and directly shook a small bag of money in front of the guards.

The guard's originally fierce and vicious face raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes narrowed, and he nodded slightly: "This one is equipped with a sword, and he is also a knight master, what small can he serve?" ā€

Rudolph threw the money bag directly over: "I am the old department of Earl Sneijder, on the order of my new lord, Viscount Gordon, come over to see if there is any land to buy, please lead the way." If it happens, you can't do it without your benefits. ā€

The other party took the money bag and shook it a few times, the copper coins inside clanged, and the smile on his face became even more: "Okay, my lord, please come with me." ā€

In the innermost part of the city, in the stone castle, Rudolph got out of the carriage and told the family not to touch his carriage, and when he was done, he came out and followed the guards into the castle.

Cheng Qianxun hid in the grass on the car and looked around secretly.

At this time, the law was very strict, and the thief would cut off his finger, and if he stole again, he might have to chop off his hand. In addition, in the courtyard of the nobles, those domestic servants were naturally more honest than those outside.

It was at least three hours before Rudolph came out with a fat-headed nobleman.

He took out two of the three boxes from the haystack: "Eighteen hundred gold coins, please count them." Cheng Qianxun could only show her body from the grass, she stepped aside and coiled her body.

"Look, what a good skin!" The nobleman was amazed, and left the matter of counting the money to his housekeeper, and his two eyes kept looking at the silver white snow fox skin.

After the money was counted, the nobleman made Rudolph kneel down on one leg and touched him on the shoulder with his sword, declaring him a knight. Then he handed the certificate and the letter of employment to Rudolph: "Congratulations, Sir Rudolph, the land is yours." ā€

"Thank you, Lord Marquis!" Rudolph thanked him, took the two rolls of brown paper, opened them and looked at them a few times. Even if you can't read, you have to look at it, at least the seal on it is impressive.

The nobleman looked at the snow fox and licked his lips: "The grand duke is about to marry the princess, I don't know what gift to give yet, if you give me this snow fox, I will make you a baron, how about it?" ā€

Rudolph rolled the paper and said with some regret: "I also think, but it's a pity that this is entrusted by Viscount Gordon on his deathbed, and I swear that I would rather lose my life than let it die." Otherwise, if the Marquis likes it, even if he takes it, don't say anything about the title or not. It came from that fiefdom, and I immediately went to look for it after I took office, and if I found a fox of similar color like this, I immediately sent it to the adult, and I sent as many as I wanted. ā€

Hearing this, the Marquis was satisfied, and said that Rudolph had a bright future, and sent the guards who had just brought him to take care of everything during his stay.

With a fiefdom, the first thing is, of course, to recruit troops, otherwise the land will be snatched up sooner or later.

Rudolph called the guards to shout for him in the city, if anyone would want to go with him.

After the guards left, Cheng Qianxun looked at him suspiciously. Rudolph hugged her with a smile and whispered in her ear: "I have bought the fief of Viscount Regel, if this marquis knows that the land is not a wasteland except for wild beasts or weeds, he will definitely regret his death." ā€

Viscount Regel has no heirs, and his distant relatives have not found one after two months, and the genealogy has long been unknown. Land without an heir can be sold by a nobleman of the next higher level in accordance with the regulations.

As soon as Rudolph heard about this land, he didn't ask the price, but frowned first and said: Who would want such a broken land?

The Marquis denied that the land was rotten, and Rudolph immediately laughed in and agreed, but asked to see the other land. After looking around, he bargained until the marquis was dizzy, and Rudolph pretended not to have enough money, and "helplessly" asked Regel how much the land was. The marquis, who had been staying in the castle, naturally thought that this land was really poor, or that it was once good, but now it was deserted, so he offered two thousand.

If it was an ordinary person, he would have happily paid and left, but Rudolph shouted that he was only willing to pay a thousand gold coins, which made people believe more and more that this place was not good. So he bargained for 1,800 gold coins, and then "reluctantly" made a deal.

After Rudolph finished speaking, he put her down, and looking at Rudolph's faintly smug expression, Cheng Qianxun also laughed.

Not to mention the ground, the city alone is not enough for five thousand gold coins, and Rudolph is interested in the rare solidity of the city there.

Some stragglers who had not developed much for the time being were found. The price of the hired person is the same, and it is divided into three grades: high, medium and low. There is no horse is naturally cheap, there is a horse and a sharp sword at the price of the high, if you have participated in any battles and are a little famous, it belongs to the highest commission.

Rudolph stepped forward, looked at the other party's hand, pinched the other's shoulder from time to time, and asked the other party to draw his sword and take a look. Eight people were picked and followed.

Of course, some people were not convinced, and cried out: "My lord, is my horse not fat enough, and my man not strong enough?" ā€

Immediately, some people also felt that they had lost face: "I am much taller than him, do you see the scar on my body, it is ten people facing each other and thirty people." He also jerked off his clothes, exposing his back for everyone to see. There were indeed three deep, long scars on it.

Rudolph was unhurried and said to the first man: "Draw your sword!" ā€

The man drew his sword in confusion, and Rudolph drew his short sword and slashed it at it, and the sword that seemed to be bright and bright snapped at once.

"The scrap metal is coated with a layer of silver foil, and this kind of empty shelf is for people with eyes and beads to see." Rudolph sneered and threw a bag of money at him: "Give you five copper coins, such a sword can buy two." Your horse is too fat to pull a cart or a rider to run, so it's only suitable for slaughter and eating. Hang out when you have time! ā€

caused a burst of laughter from the others, and then Rudolph looked at the one with a scar on his back, this guy should be real, the wounds are all on the back!

Rudolph looked at the fat guy coldly: "It's winter, put on your clothes, that scar is a whiplash, not a sword wound." Your master is so merciful that he will whip you three times with a whip with an iron hook, if I kill you! ā€

Those who were whipped either did not pay their taxes or made mistakes. Looking at the guy, it shouldn't be like a serf, then it's a mistake.

This guy knew that he had met a powerful person, so he quickly put on his clothes, covered his face, and sneaked away.

Rudolph said loudly to the eight people who had just been recruited: "What I fancy is not that he has horses or not, I can buy horses for him, buy the best horses!" It's not that I fancy the figure, I'm not a girl, what kind of figure! ā€

This made the knights burst out laughing. (To be continued.) )
