In a well-laid out three-story apartment in Dehrem, Byron is taking a stroll to inspect the décor and furnishings. This is the house that the golden hand gave to Byron, the location is good, and the furniture in it is worth some money. He wasn't lying, the house was worth 5,000 dinars, but Byron wouldn't live here, because the shops on this street were all invested by the Golden Hand family, in other words, there were Golden Hand eyeliner everywhere.

However, it is still a bit of a waste to be idle or sell it directly, Byron plans to decorate it a little, as an office for his caravan and peony mercenaries, so that his heroes usually have a better place to go.

"It's not easy to do business now, robbers are everywhere. I had set out from Gronya, and Tur had added spices, and had intended to sell them to Saggs to trade the local flax, but I was robbed by the Kugit robbers, and almost all the goods were lost. Moreover, the mercenaries I hired took the rest of my belongings at night, and I ended up doing odd jobs all the way here. My grandfather started a business, and it was so embarrassing to end up with me in this way. ”

A man dressed in the same clothes Byron had worn when he had crossed was now next to Byron, exclaiming as he walked. He was not very old, no more than 25 years old, about the same as Fatis. Because he has always lived the life of a businessman, his face does not look so young. This is normal, Byron will be a lot haggard every time he runs down.

"I heard you made a lot of money, but I don't think you made enough, in fact, in some ways it's even a serious loss. You need someone to help you run your caravan, and I admire you for working with a gentleman who is willing to exterminate the bandits and keep the merchants safe. Therefore, I wish to take care of your caravan for you, and earn dinars for you, so that I can be properly remunerated. ”

When the man finished speaking, there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes. And Byron also looked at him and nodded, smiled and stretched out his hand.

"You have been hired, Mr. Manid, and you are welcome to join us. By the way, I expect a lot from you. ”

The man's name Byron is familiar, and among the heroes of Calradia, he also has a place for him. Manid was a businessman from a business family with high business skills. In the game, his talent naturally cannot be fully reflected. But in the real world, his business skills would be very useful to Byron, even better than a combat master like Fatis Irlay, an officer in the army.

With him, Byron doesn't have to run around on his own, and can focus on how to grow and gain status.

However, his luck is not very good, it seems that the business has not been smooth, and he has been cheated in various ways, otherwise he would not have come to Byron to find a job.

Interestingly, Byron learned from the conversation that some of the spices he had obtained from the Kugit profiteers had been robbed by Manid in the first place. Of course, Byrenc didn't tell Manid about it, otherwise both sides would have been embarrassed.

Manid: [Deal 5]; [Eloquence 4]; [Logistics 2]; [Wizard 2]; [Process 2]; [Merchant's Mind]; [Investor]; 】

Manid had no combat skills and was about the same as the militia. However, he is really talented in business and trade, and his skills are basically related to business. As for the investor's skills, Byron thinks it should be linked to the investment workshop.

Byron hired Manid, who was paid five percent of the profits of each caravan in addition to the basic salary, for which he signed a contract with Manid, and Manid got a seal from the town officials. However, on the other hand, Manid has to pay a sum of money to join the game, but in reality, after signing the agreement, Manid does not ask for additional money.

However, he didn't want it himself, and Byron still had to give him some basic equipment, a reliable quality chain mail, and a sword that was commonly used by merchants.

Manid accepted the gift and promised not to disappoint Byron.

As for Manid's addition, the other heroes have little to offer. After all, Manid was not much different from the other merchants. Especially Alleyne, he felt that Byron should have found a businessman to run errands for them, this kind of life was too monotonous, and it would not be interesting after a long time.

He prefers to ride a war horse to fight, or to participate in a competitive tournament, and in Decherim he goes to the arena at least five times to participate in real sword competitions, which are not crowded by spectators, but are held every day. Alleyne defeated all of his opponents three times to win the title, and the other two times he abstained because it wasn't interesting. His reputation in Decherim is now similar to that of a knight under Count Claes, and some nobles have extended an olive branch to him, expressing their willingness to accept him, a Wikiian, as a knight's squire.

Obviously, this was not enough to impress Ellene, who was treated better than the average knight in Byron's place, and did not have to serve others.

Jamila is also an important factor, and Alleyne has never been able to jump out of the circle of nobility, so although the two have a good relationship, they have never meant to formally pursue it.

So at present, Byron's heroes have a good impression of him, and there will be no betrayal or job hopping.

Byron needs to care about his soldiers, and after some inquiry, Byron discovers an inner ghost in his ranks. He was a mercenary under Byron, a caravan guard. The Golden Hand paid him 320 dinars, as well as a good horse that would allow him to leave Dehrim, and let him tell him what Byron had done in the Khugit Khanate.

He had come to Byron to ask for his resignation, citing his father's serious illness. However, Kress exposed him on the spot, although the little girl was not very popular, but she had a strong ability to find out the news, and she knew that the soldier's father had been dead for several years.

And the caravan guard panicked and began to make up some other reasons that made Byron feel that something was wrong.

Soon, Byron's intelligence agents in the city told Byron that this guy had met with the people of the Golden Hand.

Kress found more silver coins in his luggage, far more than he deserved.

Under forced confession, he finally recruited, and Byron almost didn't cut him on the spot.

After that, Byron fulfilled his promise, gathered his men, pronounced his guilt on the spot, stripped him naked, and threw him into a pigsty for three whole days.

After a few more days, Fatis interceded, so Byron gave him a heartfelt pleasure.

The rest were told that the guy had been sent out on a mission, but unfortunately was killed by the robbers. In order to avenge him, Byron led a whole team of cavalry to slaughter all the robbers he could find near Decherim.

After this incident, the other two soldiers who were unclear with the Kinte family silently cut off contact with each other.
