"Head, it's Su Nuo in front, where are we going?"

From a distance, the stone walls of Suno appear to be extraordinarily wide.

The city is probably the oldest city in Calradia, and there are many "ruins" that are still inhabited and used both inside and outside the city. And the daily caravans and truckloads of olives arriving at the refinery make the city look extraordinarily vibrant.

Old and young city.

"The tavern, and after that the market. Suno's oil is the best in the whole continent, and we will also make a caravan. ”

At this time, Byron was in a good mood, not only surprised to see the ancient city of Sunuo, but also joyful at the improvement of his strength.

Inexperienced Swadia Militia*5

Counting Byron himself, his team already had ten people, including one Rank 3 soldier, three Rank 2 soldiers and five fake Rank 2 soldiers, two carts, two pack horses, and a full load of supplies.

These included cloth for pitching tents and chopped firewood, with which 10 people could spend the night in the field.

Byron was now riding the horse, and although he was not good enough to ride, he was fine just riding. Unfortunately, it is impossible to fight on this military horse.

"Just do what you want."

John nodded, and shouted at the militiamen who followed him, telling them that they would have wine as soon as they entered the city, causing several cheers.

The cheerers were the three men who had been rewarded by Byron, and they had several silver coins in their pockets, enough to eat and drink, and to find women to accompany them to "play."

Byron's comment on this was: "As long as you don't get sick, the rest is yours." ”

Byron himself naturally wouldn't do those things, but he very much wanted his soldiers to enjoy spending money, not only to work hard for themselves, but also to leave them the opportunity to accumulate capital and work alone or go home to live.

At the gate of the city, Byron and the others were stopped by the guards guarding the city, but the other party was polite because of the number of people.

After paying a mercenary tax of up to 3 dinars, Byron and his men entered the city.

Byron gave John a small silver coin, told him to arrange the carriage and horses, and went straight to the tavern himself.

Although this is not the time for olives to ripen, dozens of oil refineries in Sunoau are still busy, squeezing out jars of freshly pressed olive oil and delivering it to the tables of wealthy citizens and aristocrats.

Sunuo's olive oil is the best on the continent and has been selling well. As long as he figured out the market, Byron could make a fortune with the accumulated capital.

Everywhere the taverns were, they were filled with drunkards and elites, as well as travelers who earned copper and silver for their intelligence.

They were much more sober than the rest of the tavern, and they all looked like travelers, and they would smile sly when they sat next to them.

After inviting two glasses of Paraven ale (the Paraven ale is the best in the kingdom), the other party also told him a lot of information he wanted to know.

But just as Byron turned his face sideways to listen to the information, a figure caught his attention.

The man wore a light gray and light green shirt and tunic with elaborate workmanship, which was often worn by nobles.

His beard was slightly lighter black than Byron's, and he was of medium stature, appearing to be no more than thirty years old. In Byron's words, the dress of the nobles, the body of a soldier.

However, his face was haggard, his expression was also a little trance, and he held the wine glass in his hand, but the wine never touched his mouth.

Looking at him, Byron almost ignored the information revealed by the traveler.

"Who is that?"

Byron asked.

The traveler was stunned for a moment, he didn't know why the other party suddenly changed the subject, but he didn't mind, for the sake of the Paraven ale.

"He is an officer of Su Nuo, the son of a noble family, but it is said that he murdered his own brother, I really don't know why he can still sit here with nothing to do."

After the traveler finished speaking, he looked at Byron with a puzzled look in his eyes that represented excitement.

"Thank you very much."

Byron had already confirmed the identity of the other party, and happily took out a small silver coin and placed it on the table, and went straight to one of the heroes of the game.

"You don't mind if I'm sitting here, do you?"

Byron walked over to the table and asked politely.

The other party was stunned for a moment, and his somewhat swollen glasses glanced at Byron, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, but he didn't mean to be happy at all, and he looked a little miserable.

"Please."

Byron sat down and placed on the table the wine in the clay pot in his hand, which Byron had just bought for a dinar and a half, and which was considered a good wine in the tavern.

"Have a drink?"

"No, thank you for your kindness, sir."

The other party did not accept his wine, and Byron shrugged his shoulders and poured himself a glass.

"I hear them talk about you, but I don't quite believe what they say. Dare I ask what your name is? ”

"My name?"

The other party held the wine glass in his hand, as if he remembered something unbearable from the past, and his expression was a little painful.

"Fatis, you can call me that. I used to have an honorable surname, but I was no longer qualified to talk about it. ”

"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Fatis. I'm Byron, "von Byron". I am the leader of a team, I see in you a kindness and mercy that other nobles do not see, and I do not believe that you are a man who would do something to his own brother. Do you have something to hide? It may be a bit abrupt, but it's much easier to say something sad. ”

Hearing Byron's words, Fatis's body trembled slightly, and his eyes were shiny, even if they were cloudy.

"Sir, can you be my penitent priest? Although this is not a religious place, and I don't know your beliefs, your words really speak to my heart. ”

"It is my honor, Mr. Fatis, that I will keep your secret for you. I don't have faith, but I'm sure it will make you feel better. ”

"Thank you, thank you......"

Fatis's voice choked, and the corners of his eyes moistened.

"Actually, it's not a secret, I'm a cavalry officer in Suno, and before that incident, I had always been my father's pride."

"My brother and I – he was a young and brave boy who was supposed to be able to do a great job, but ......"

"I'm so dizzy, that slut! My brother and I fell in love with her at the same time, and she never said anything. ”

"That day, my brother barged in, angrily questioned me why he had taken his woman, and slapped me. And I'm ...... Stab him with a sword! ”

At this point, Fatis's tears had already dripped onto the table, his fists clenched, and his muscles burst out. Byron sat there and listened, not saying a word.

When Fatis was doing better, Byron sighed and his expression became serious.

Of course, Byron's brain was quickly thinking about how to win the other party over.

"It's an unfortunate past, and I won't comment on it."

"Thank you for listening to my confession, I have been living in pain all these days, as if death had taken hold of my heart and cursed my soul and wanted to drag me into hell. Because of who I am and because of my father, the law doesn't punish me, but I will never forgive myself. ”

Fatis had calmed down at this time, and his body at this time really revealed his upright temperament.

"So why not get a job and say goodbye to your old self? Leave the life of the aristocracy, go to atonement for your sins, or do something else. ”

Hearing Byron's proposal, a glimmer of hope flashed in Fatis's eyes.

"You're right, I once wanted to travel the continent like a hero and act with my convictions. I used to think it was just a fantasy, but now ......"

"his nobles! It may be comfortable, but I'm saying goodbye to it now. You've said before that you have a team, and I'm sure you'll be a righteous man! ”

"I have been a cavalry officer for a few years, I will be a good warrior and can also train you in the horsemanship of soldiers, I also know quite a few nobles and officials, if you need them, I will open their doors for you!"

"Still, I hope we don't have to raise our arms against the unarmed, it's not justice, and they've already suffered a lot under their lords.

Fatis sat upright in his chair and said to Byron in a very solemn manner.

Byron was very happy, but he still suppressed his emotions, smiled a little, and nodded to Fatis.

"Congratulations, Mr. Fatis, you've been hired."
