Soram wasn't going to pay attention to the old man, but Mavis grabbed Soram at this time and looked at Soram with a little pleading. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info It's not that she thinks those adventurers are so important, after all, as Soram said, just send more people.

What she was really worried about was that Solam's unkind rejection of Count Marshall would lead to rejection from the entire Silvermoon Kingdom. She had always hoped to take Soram with her and give her a good education, and if he was really rejected by everyone in the Silvermoon Kingdom, it would obviously be very detrimental to Soram's growth.

Solam couldn't ignore Mavis's eyes when he saw them, though he didn't understand why Mavis had to let him wade through the troubled waters. But no matter how you say it, people are really good to him.

These days, Mavis takes care of Solam, not to say that she is meticulous, but she can also be called dedicated, all knowledge is open to him, even those spell models are free. Know that knowledge is always valuable among mages, let alone spell models. But these things, Solam didn't spend a penny, and he was carefully taught by Mavis.

Is there anything more human than this for a spellcaster? So for Mavis's request, Soram really couldn't refuse. Otherwise, he is too unkind.

"Alas...... Well, it's not impossible for me to come forward, but you have to pay for it, and it's a lot of money. ”

Solam is really not interested in dealing with these nobles, but Mavis is caught in the middle, and Soram can only pinch his nose and admit it, life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, he should be bitten by a dog.

Count Marshall was relieved to see that Soram was finally relieved, after all, adventurers know more about the Silver Moon Forest, and with their help, this helps Count Marshall to better understand the strength of the ogre, so that he can deploy strategies in a more targeted manner, as for the money or something, Count Marshall does not care, in his opinion, this is also a matter of course, anyway, it is not his private pocket.

"How much do you say?"

"Before the mission, you will give a deposit of 300 gold to the adventurers who participate, and then 300 gold after the battle, and if they have made meritorious deeds, then you must pay the same amount of gold coins as the meritorious deeds again."

"It's impossible, there is no such market! Besides, when will adventurers still get paid for taking on missions? "Although this money does not belong to the Earl of Marshall, he still can't accept this condition, it's too expensive, give 300 gold coins in advance, and then give 300 gold coins later? Isn't that much like a robbery?

"Quotes? I think there's something wrong with the market you're talking about, right? We give dozens of gold coins from birth to death, do you think it's normal? If you think it's expensive, you don't want to invite us, anyway, we don't want to wade into this troubled water. ”

The Earl of Marshall also knew that the price of Locke Town was too low, but this was not the price he set, what did it matter to him, not to mention that everyone was like this, he couldn't accept Solam's asking price.

"No! It's too expensive for us to afford. ”

"No, pull down, slow down and don't send." As soon as Soram heard this, he simply sent the guest again, he didn't want to get involved in this matter in the first place, and now it is better to talk about it. If you don't have money, tell me Cai Guoqing.

Mavis saw that the conversation collapsed again, and immediately grabbed Solam, "Ram, you also have to consider the reality, the price you opened is too high." ”

Solam was not happy when he heard this, "What is too high?" That's for us people to fight with our lives, and I feel that the money is less. If you don't believe it, ask this old man if he loses all this money. ”

"Of course it's a loss!" The Earl of Marshall immediately denied Solam's words, and how could he not be stupid and follow Soram's words?

"Really? Then we'll do the math and see if you lose or not. You see, those soldiers of yours, you usually have to pay military salaries, although I don't know the exact amount, but I think it's definitely a lot. ”

This is true, and the Earl Marshall also denied it, the soldiers under his command are all elite, even if they are small soldiers, they also have a 5-level professional level, so the salary cannot be too bad, otherwise others will do something bad, why do they have to be soldiers, this is not a good profession, it is very dangerous.

Seeing that the Earl of Marshall did not refute, Solam continued: "They have to train on weekdays, and this expense will not be small, right? And you're also responsible for the soldier's equipment, right? After the battle, the soldiers are paid twice, right? And the soldiers have to be rewarded for their meritorious service, right? You're also responsible for the casualties, right? ”

These are all truths, but they are also nonsense, if you don't do this, who TM will be full to join the army.

In fact, in this world, regular soldiers are treated very well. Because of the existence of supernatural forces, the difference in the strength of individuals in this world is very large. For example, a soldier with strict training and a professional rank can easily overturn a group of civilians. Therefore, all the forces in this world are accustomed to the policy of elite soldiers.

Because no matter how many ordinary people are gathered, it is completely useless against an army full of professionals, and a single charge can be defeated. For example, in the previous life, it is impossible for a group of bankrupt peasants to gather and want to rebel in this world.

"So you see, how much does it cost you to be a soldier? And what about us adventurers? But you don't have a dime to bring your own dry food, take care of your own equipment, train or something, you don't have a dime, and you still have to bear your own life and death, it's a complete one-shot deal, do you still think my price is high? ”

This made the Earl Marshall speechless, can he say that what Soram said is unreasonable? Of course not, Soram is indeed much cheaper for adventurers. Solam didn't know how the soldiers were treated, but Count Marshall knew that now that he thought about it, the Silvermoon Kingdom did spend a lot on these soldiers. Then he would be even more reluctant to see the loss of these soldiers.

So helplessly, the Earl of Marshall had to agree to Solam's conditions, but bargaining was still needed.

"Let's not talk about it now, why do we still pay bonuses to adventurers who have made meritorious deeds after the war? According to you, isn't it a one-shot deal? I don't think it's better to lower the amount of money, and I guarantee that those adventurers who have made meritorious deeds will be rewarded by the kingdom, which will be good for their future."

Indeed, if an adventurer can get a reward from the state, this is a way to promotion, and if you can mix a knighthood or something, it would be even better, generally this condition is still very attractive to adventurers.

"Can you guarantee it?" Solam glanced at the Earl of Marshall with contempt, not believing Count Marshall's words at all. "Let's have something practical, you don't actually have to give that money, when it comes to it, whoever wants to grab the credit will have to pay for it."

Solam's words made the Earl of Marshall very embarrassed, and in front of a high-ranking general of a kingdom, such a naked talk about buying and selling merits could be regarded as a direct slap in the face.

Solam's words also embarrassed Baron Vane, who had been standing by and had not spoken, and he had been involved in those things that bought and sold merits, and it was only recently.

However, the Earl of Marshall was not very angry, and he also knew that these things were inevitable, and even he could not prohibit them. He just said that, in fact, there was a bit of a flickering element in it. But he didn't expect that Solam didn't even think about it, so he pierced the layer of window paper, which didn't embarrass him.

But it's also an old age, and I quickly cleaned up my mood.

"Okay, let's not talk about that. But the price is still too expensive, and even if I agree, no one else will agree. Let's talk about it again. ”

This discussion lasted for an afternoon, and in the end, after arduous negotiations, Solam was finally annoyed, and still took a step back, giving 250 gold in advance and 300 gold afterwards. After all, this reconnaissance mission was extremely dangerous, and the Earl of Marshall did not believe that many people could come back alive in the end, so he did not dwell on the bonus afterwards.

As for the bonus after the meritorious service, the Earl of Marshall did not talk about it, after all, he is also a leader, how can he be embarrassed to talk about this kind of fly camp dog? So simply leave the matter to Baron Vain.

Although this is suspected of making Baron Vane take the blame, isn't this an opportunity for Baron Vane to establish a network?

In this way, after the matter was settled, the Earl of Marshall hastened to ask Solam to gather the adventurers.

Although Solam was a little reluctant, he had already promised to work, and he had to work, in fact, it was very simple, that is, let Daddy Carmon gather the surviving adventurers and gather them at the Blackreef Tavern, and then Soram would just talk about it.

If others said this, those adventurers might still be a little hesitant, but this condition was negotiated by Soram himself, and they didn't think that Soram would trap them.

Moreover, Solam made it very clear that this time it was all voluntary, there would be no forced call-up, and the conditions were here, if anyone agreed, they would ask Baron Vane to sign up, and then get the deposit before leaving.

While most of these adventurers don't want to get involved, many are impressed by the generous bonuses. In the past, I used to help Locke Town, just thirty or forty gold coins, and the last time I raided the monster camp, although Locke Town also said that it was heavy gold, it was actually only 80 gold.

This time, you can get 250 gold in advance, and if you are still alive after the war, there are still 300 gold to get, the bonus is indeed very rich, and you can get the money in advance, plus if you can make meritorious deeds, you can get another reward, when will they have such a good treatment.

As for the buying and selling of meritorious deeds, they are very open-minded, and an adventurer becomes a nobleman by virtue of his military exploits? It was a dream. Anyway, it's useless for them to keep those merits, and if they don't do it, they will be robbed of credit by other nobles in a daze, so it's better to sell them directly for money, which is more practical.
