Chapter 430: The Female City Lord's Choice
Despite the unsatisfactory results, Fitandila's purpose of coming to "Aldolph" has been achieved in any case.
The same is true of the "Forgiveness Mercenary Group", except for a few leaders, everyone else thinks that the mission is perfectly over, waiting to embark on the journey back to their hometown.
Although some people like the bustling and lively old world, many more people, after a long time away from their hometown, can't help but miss the family and life in "Fetenburg".
According to the original plan, it didn't make much sense for them to stay.
The show is about to begin, but these mercenaries are not yet eligible to participate.
To be precise, Brienne doesn't want to increase unnecessary casualties, and their strength doesn't change anything, but as the various forces surface and the truth is gradually revealed, she has a new idea.
Before leaving, the mercenary group may still come in handy.
It has to do with the Broken Wheel.
After catching the key person Ram, the number of people sent out to keep an eye on it immediately doubled, in addition to the Light Magic Academy, the entrance to the sewers of the "Broken Wheel" lair is also under strict surveillance, and even more attention is paid to the former, as soon as there is a change, Brienne will get the news immediately.
He had a vague idea.
It's just that there has been no movement for the last few days, and the whole city is the same, like the last moments of silence before the storm.
When a storm hits, everyone may not be expecting it.
The more times like this, the more calm Brienne, or rather the stone, becomes, and when she has a plan, she arranges everything step by step.
The rest of the mercenary group, led by Toby, traveled to well-informed places such as taverns, casinos, and markets, collecting or disseminating the news they needed under the guise of selling fine wine.
The two truckloads of fine wine and fungal beer brought with them from "Fetenburg" were not easy to preserve, so they had long been given away on the road or drunk by themselves, and in the end only dozens of jars of high-concentration "salvation" remained.
The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys.
Relying on the extremely high quality and the market opened by other caravans, "Redemption" has long been famous in "Aldolf", and it has always been in short supply, and these fine wines in the hands of the mercenary group are quickly sold out.
Not only did he make a small profit, but through the relationship built by selling wine, Toby only spent a few hundred gold coins to buy three invitations to participate in the "Night of a Thousand Laws", which was also a surprise.
Even if the spirits brought were not much, their price was much higher than the wholesale price of "Fetenburg", which used to sell for ten gold crowns per jar, which was directly increased five times in "Aldolf", fifty, and a lot of people rushed to ask for it.
In the end, after deducting the money for the invitation, there was almost 1,000 gold kronor left.
It just so happened that Brienne had already spent all the gold coins she had brought out, but she wasn't going to bring them back.
She wants Toby to find a house in the city, rent a house with a good location and a large area, as a stronghold for the forgiveness mercenary group and the redemption chamber in the future, selling wine to make so much money, as a profiteer, of course she has to do it herself.
After going back this time, the "Forgiveness Mercenary Group", which has been promoted to the A-level, is bound to usher in a new high-speed development, and when the strength is strong, it will be able to transport the wine to sell it by itself in the future and earn more.
Therefore, after the end of this incident, Brienne will not only not reduce the number of people who stay in "Aldolph", on the contrary, as the most active commercial city in the Old World, the heart of the empire, he will continue to increase the number of people here, prepare for future plans, and make a little money by the way.
In addition to the mercenary group itself being on the right track, what made her even happier was that Rip, as the head of the group, had finally taken the most important step and become a full-fledged mid-level knight.
Although his quality is still blue and rare in the system evaluation, the sharp-eyed female knight finds that his potential has been upgraded from the original B rank to the A rank, which means that there is still a lot of room for promotion in the future.
Brienne has always valued Rep's ability to coordinate and lead troops, and personal strength is not so important, but this is the Warhammer world after all, and the stronger the leader, the greater the help to the team.
For an A-level mercenary group, Rep's original combat power was indeed too weak, but now it's okay, as long as he seizes the opportunity, not to mention becoming a high-level golden-crowned knight, he can at least go up two more steps.
Of course, he himself understands this truth, so these days the mercenary group is Toby in the matter, and he seizes the time to get used to and master his new profession, in addition to physical training, and more importantly, he learns the way of light with Brienne every day.
He's a true paladin now.
Punishment, protection, sacred, three branches, Rip chose the last one, the holy path.
With the help of the "Light Acher" trait, he can feel the faint but warm new power that exists in his body, but unlike Brienne, who can immediately gain several new skills after changing classes, he can feel that these powers are slowly nourishing his body, and there are no new changes for the time being.
The lord's explanation for this is that only by having a deeper understanding of the Holy Light can the true strength of the paladin be brought into play.
In terms of the Light's beliefs, there is no difference between Rep and the others.
Something bling? What is that?
The mercenary captain said he didn't know anything.
Fortunately, Brienne spends one night a day teaching the mercenary group about the greatness of the Light.
It's not difficult to talk to Rip and other mercenaries about this, as a time-traveler who has experienced the influence of various modern advertising and marketing cases, although he has not been a god stick, he still knows some simple encouraging words.
Coupled with the warm golden light that can appear in her hands at any time, it is simply proof.
In just two or three days, with Brienne's prestige and the illumination of the Holy Light, many people in the mercenary group changed from suspicion at the beginning to interest, and finally began to take the initiative to understand.
Although there are no real believers yet, every night when there is a "meeting", everyone will take the initiative to come over and accept Brienne's brainwashing, including Fitandila.
Needless to say, the Imperial Royal Building and his party hit her hard, but Fitandila was not a fledgling little girl, and she quickly walked out of disappointment.
No matter what the attitude of the empire is, her goal has been achieved, at least there is more "Arsenal Fort" as an ally in a short period of time, as for the future, as long as her own strength develops, it will be easier to get rid of the control of the empire now.
Cult of the Light? It sounds like a good thing, she began to plan for the future, not only faith, but also the power at her fingertips, for her, in the "Frontier Prince's Territory", a place where the law of the jungle eats, this seems to be a good choice.
So before you go back, you have to leave something behind in the empire......
