Chapter 315: Trust in Frank
Frank has a moral bottom line in his heart, but he trusts Zhu Tian too much. When Zhu Tian hinted that he would kill the cardinal, he only hesitated for a moment before executing it.
If it sounds good, it is trust, and if it is not good, it is foolishness.
I think that at the beginning, when this rough man swore allegiance to Zhu Tian, Zhu Tian actually wanted to treat Frank as a friend.
But later, Zhu Tian's mentality quietly changed. At some point, he would suddenly feel a sense of distrust. After all, he came from another world and had experienced the sinister nature of the human heart.
So in this world, he doesn't want to trust anyone but Pique.
This can also explain why Zhu Tian made such a test on Frank. Fortunately, this result is not too bad.
In fact, Zhu Tian just wanted to test Frank.
Frank is an Odin, and the Cardinal is also an Odin, and a noble Odin.
Zhu Tian wondered what kind of choice Frank would make in the face of such a scene.
But when he actually tested it, he immediately regretted it. He saw it, and Frank trusted him completely!
Although Frank had a slight hesitation, it was human nature, and if Frank hadn't even hesitated, he would have to reconsider.
In fact, for a moment, Zhu Tian suddenly remembered the battle that happened in Josson City, when the battle was about to end, Zhu Tian fell into the crack in the ground, and it was the seriously injured Frank who rushed over to rescue him. Thinking of this, Zhu Tian felt even deeper guilt for this rough man in his heart.
The other party is completely respectful and trusting to him, and he is suspicious and suspicious.
At this moment, Zhu Tian's heart had a new understanding of Frank.
After pondering silently for a while, Zhu Tian walked out of the donkey shed.
There were two things still on his mind. The first is to build a batch of noble canes at dawn tomorrow, and the second is to find a way to steal the armaments and weapons from Mayor Grace's cellar as soon as possible.
Zhu Tian always felt that it was definitely a very dangerous thing to let Mayor Grace master such a batch of armaments and weapons.
The most important thing is that the day after tomorrow is the wedding of Haysjia and Pisa. What Zhu Tian thought was that Baron Hygvi had already known the secret of Mayor Grace and was bound to cancel the wedding. But what is Baron Hygiwick going to do with Grace, and will Grace resist?
In the most likely scenario, Baron Hygivi will directly remove Mayor Grace from his position and hold him accountable for all his crimes!
This situation is very happy, and Pique will not have to dwell on this matter at that time.
But there is always uncertainty in everything. Tonight and tomorrow he must keep an eye on the Mayor's Castle all the time, and he must know everything that is going on in the Mayor's Castle.
Time is pressing, and he can't wait for Frank to gather the mercenaries from the hotel.
Before dark, Zhu Tian walked into his house.
Peake checked his grandfather's injuries and told Ryder to get a good night's sleep and be prepared to stay up late. Then he walked out of the lumber yard and headed for the inn where the mercenary was.
According to Zhu Tian's idea, he first went to the hotel to gather the mercenaries, and then led them to the hunter's courtyard to retrieve a batch of Sandy wood, and then rushed to make the remaining noble canes overnight.
In this way, you will be able to make a deal with the owner of the auction house tomorrow. The other party said that it would take a day or two to transport the remaining gold coins to Heping Town, and it is believed that a large amount of gold coins had already been remitted to Heping Town at this time.
After tomorrow, Zhu Tian will become the richest man in the entire peace town!
He believed that there would not be a single person in the entire Peace Town who would be able to own a million gold coins!
Zhu Tian silently compared the prices of the two worlds in his heart - with one million gold coins in this world, it is definitely equivalent to a billionaire in the other world!
Will there be a billionaire in a small town?
How could it be? Zhu Tian even felt that if the wealth of the entire town was summed up, it would not exceed one million gold coins!
After all, an average family in a small town has a few dozen copper coins a month to live! One gold coin means a family's food ration for a month!
It's a bit jarring to say, but that's the way the world is!
In some places, the rich will spend a gold coin to buy a watermelon, while in a barren area like Peace Town, a gold coin can buy a large watermelon field directly!
When he was in Yosun City, Zhu Tian had already compared the difference between a city and a small town.
This is a world of serious information imbalances, and it is also a world where the gap between rich and poor is huge.
Coming to the hotel where the mercenary was, Zhu Tian walked in without thinking about it.
What he didn't know was that Pique and Grunch had been to the hotel. So the innkeeper recognized him:
"Sir...... You're here again! The guest room is full today!Last time......" Before he could finish speaking, he saw the figure in the blue hat staggered his body and walked directly towards the second floor.
In fact, the innkeeper was very reluctant to receive the blue hat guest. Because last time it was also because of the arrival of this blue hat guest, more than half of the guests in the hotel offered to check out.
They complained that there were a group of dark forces in this hotel, yes, the little duke brought twenty or thirty people here that day to "run errands", who was not afraid to see it? If you are lucky, you run out early and hide, but if you are unlucky, you don't know what happened, so you can only hide in your own room silently.
Later, they reacted, and listened to the screams for a whole day!
Zhu Tian looked at the old man in front of him with a hesitant face, and he was also stunned for a second. With his brain, he quickly figured out the cause and effect. Ignoring the innkeeper, he walked straight to the second floor.
After a while, he walked down with more than a dozen mercenary men.
Seeing this scene, the innkeeper immediately panicked and said to the group of mercenary men, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you want to check out?" This is half of the guests in his hotel! If these mercenaries check out, within a few days, his hotel business will enter a bleak period.
Who doesn't want their business to be thriving all the time?
Sure enough, this blue hat is really a cursed scourge, and as soon as he came, he took a group of guests with him!
The innkeeper put on a bitter face and waited for a reply from the mercenaries.
"The rooms are all reserved!" replied to him, Zhu Tian.
Jingle Ding!
The five gold coins streaked in a graceful arc in mid-air and landed accurately on the innkeeper's counter.
Gold!
Bright gold coins!
Twenty years after opening a hotel, where has the innkeeper, whose hair has been boiled white, ever seen a guest who has paid with gold coins?
It's more than just a gold coin!
Five gold coins! That's the equivalent of a month's worth of a hotel!
According to the market price, one silver coin can rent a house in a hotel for three days, so five gold coins are equivalent to fifty silver coins, which is equivalent to paying these mercenaries for half a month's room!
I think that when these mercenaries came, they looked like they were buttoning and squeezing, and if they paid for the room for an extra day, they would put on your face, making you break out in a cold sweat, and make it seem like they were cheating.
Where is it like this blue-hatted guest! Five gold coins at the first shot! This kind of heroism immediately changed the innkeeper's previous opinion of the blue-hat. Just as he reacted from the surprise and wanted to say thank you, he suddenly found that the blue hat had already gone away with the mercenaries.
On the streets of the peaceful town, Pique walked faster and faster, and a group of mercenaries behind him followed closely.
Almost everyone knows that there are three kinds of people that cannot be messed with on this road: the first is of course the aristocratic power, the second is the wandering samurai with the samurai medal on his chest, and the third is the mercenary who travels from south to north.
So there was such a group of fierce mercenaries standing behind, and Zhu Tian walked very smoothly on the streets of Heping Town.
In the distance, many passers-by saw such a posture and began to retreat from a distance of 100 meters. There was even a carriage that was so frightened that it turned straight into a dead end.
It can't be said that the residents of Heping Town are uninformed, it's really that the aura of this group of mercenaries is too strong!
Almost everyone had a faint hint of evil aura on their bodies, and the sum of more than a dozen mercenaries formed a kind of "momentum"! No one wanted to stand in the way of this momentum, right? With Zhu Tian leading the way in front, they walked faster and faster. This evil aura was like an overwhelming dark cloud, hanging over the heads of all passers-by.
Such a scene is not difficult to understand, after the battle of Yosun City, almost all the mercenaries were burdened with several lives. Moreover, they killed all outlaws who licked blood from the edge of their knives! How many of these outlaws were condemned from various cities?
Frank, who followed closely behind Zhu Tian and walked in front of the mercenaries, was covered in tendon flesh, he killed the most prisoners in the battle of Yosun City, and naturally the evil qi on his body was also the heaviest, Zhu Tian and he got closer, and they all had an uncomfortable feeling.
At their pace, they soon left the town of Peace.
A dark cloud with a foul aura followed them away.
Zhu Tian led the mercenaries all the way north, through a low wooded forest, and came to this plain full of fresh grass.
The mercenaries clearly felt the peculiarity of this trip. The new leader of the regiment, Grass Carp, remained silent all the way, and Boss Frank did not speak the whole time.
In this way, a group of mercenaries followed Zhu Tian to the hunter's courtyard in confusion.
Zhu Tian saw the red sun that was about to fall into the horizon, and knew that he had little time left today. "Ten pieces of wood for each of you!" he said, pointing to the Sandy Wood stacked in the corner of the yard, "follow me back to the town of Peace!"
Ha?
So it's an autumn exercise?
This Mr. Blue Hat has led our mercenary group out to exercise?
This is not necessary, running away is a training method only used by novice mercenaries, as a group of veteran mercenaries who travel from south to north, almost everyone will have their own way of exercising their physique.
For a while, everyone was stunned after hearing Zhu Tian's words.
Only a few mercenaries seemed to have thought of the meaning of this "mission". "Sir, dare to ask if these pieces of wood are Sandy wood?" was the question from the newly promoted mercenary group leader Grass Carp.
A smile appeared on Zhu Tian's face and he nodded slowly.
What was already a quiet scene turned into a deathly silence!
Many of the mercenaries looked at this small lumber yard in disbelief, although this small yard was half smaller than Mr. Bluehat's lumber yard, but there were several piles of wood neatly stacked here!
At a cursory glance, there are at least hundreds or thousands!
Could this be the so-called Sandy Wood?
Sandy wood worth a thousand gold?
A piece of Sandy wood is worth thousands of gold coins?
The mercenaries were completely messy in the autumn wind.
"Sir, thank you very much for having such trust in us......" The head of the grass carp was about to speak, as if he had something to say in his heart.
We can't afford to take us to such a secret place, and you don't hide these treasures that are worth ten thousand dollars, and leave them in the open like this? What if we lose them? The grass carp's heart can't help but feel anxious for this big-hearted blue-hatted gentleman.
Zhu Tian looked at the careful mercenary leader, scanned all the mercenaries with a smile, and only heard him speak slowly, saying:
"It's not trust in you, and to tell you the truth, I don't trust anyone easily. ”
Suddenly, the scene fell into an embarrassment, the two sides can be said to be comrades-in-arms who were born and died together, aren't you afraid of hurting people's feelings when you say this?
Also, what is the use of a noble magician asking for worldly affection?
Many people had a look of loneliness on their faces.
And even at this time, someone sadly remembered the foolish Count and the little bird......
The next moment, I only heard Zhu Tian say something like this, which suddenly made the mercenaries cheer up again:
"This is my trust in your former regimental leader, Frank! The reason why I have crossed paths with you! It's all because of Frank! It's only Frank! I have made me realize that there are a group of mercenary men in this world!"
