048 Tower Acquisition Ambition

At noon, after discussing the distribution plan with Divo of the Silver Flame Mercenary Group, in the afternoon Sawa went to the Snowman City Carriage Shop and rented two war horses for half a month, and for the sake of Sawyer's face as a lord, the carriage shop did not charge a fee this time, as long as Sawa paid the fee when he returned the carriage.

As for the old horse bought in Ivasteide, it was sold directly to the carriage dealer by Sawyer, and exchanged for a hundred gold coins as a coil on the road, after all, the old horse was used by Sawa to drive before, and the two of them still shared a horse, and now they are tired and can't withstand the high-intensity rush at all.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Sawyer took Filina out of the city gate, of course, it was impossible to open the city gate in advance for the sake of the two of them, but to go through the separate small gate of the guards' camp, as a lord, this little right still has it.

When Sawya took Felina to the outer city, he found that the people of the Silver Flame Mercenary Group were already waiting for departure in the outer city, and even as an employer, Sawa was a little embarrassed.

"Your Excellency, it is also our duty to wait for our employer."

Divo, who was leading the two war horses, saw Sawyer's embarrassment, explained with a smile, and after handing the reins to Sawyer and Philina, he gently hammered his left chest with his right hand to signal his obedience to Sawyer.

"But after all, it still made you wait for a long time."

Even after listening to Divo's explanation, Sawa still bowed slightly, and although Divo turned sideways to let go of Sawyer's debt, his gaze at Sawa was much softer.

Such a heartfelt action like this is really rare among nobles, Divo smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to signal Sawyer to get on the horse:

"The Lord doesn't have to dwell on this little thing, let's get on my horse and hurry as soon as possible."

"Let's go."

Sawa was not hypocritical, turned over on the horse with his bags on his back, and urged the war horse to run a few steps to the center of the entire horse team.

I have to say that Silver Flame is worthy of being the number one mercenary group in the Snow Man City, at least from the configuration of each person and a horse, it can be seen that the financial resources are not bad, and the mercenary groups with good financial resources are either backed by a solid background, or they are so strong that they can make a lot of money in every mission, and the Silver Flame mercenary group is obviously the latter.

Originally, Sawyer thought that several mages in the mercenary group would ride in a carriage, after all, in Skyrim Province, mages are a rare thing, and middle- and low-level mages generally do not have strong bodies, and later the second-in-command of the mercenary group, an assassin girl named Bingxuan, explained to Sawyer:

"Lord Lord, don't underestimate our Silver Flame mage, not to mention those three guys who play with fire, even those two priest girls can defeat a few low-level warriors at close range."

……

Riding all the way out of the city, the snow-filled outer city of dawn gradually began to be lively, the clerks who were ready to work in the city and the market owners who pushed the goods, had already entered the urn city one after another, waiting for the opening of the city gate, and several caravans that were ready to go to other cities were also shouting around to gather their own workers and guards, and the farmers with hoes were set off in groups to farms far away from the city.

When passing by the mead field at eight o'clock in the morning, he happened to open the door of the mead field, and Soya spent ten gold coins to buy a bottle of mead for each person by the way.

And Sawyer's move also won the favor of the entire mercenary group, the overall favorability of the mercenary group has risen from 25 to 31, and the mark has become [Know, support], of course, 20 points of the original 25 favorability points are the favorability bonus of the lord's title, which can directly make the people of the entire territory have a certain impression of you.

The first half of the journey was the same as the last time I went to Ivasteide, but the group ran wildly all the way obviously much faster than the caravan, and there was no danger on the way, so I rushed to the Frost Winter Outpost at noon, and with the bonfire that had just been extinguished this morning, Sawyer also temporarily decided to light a fire to cook, although it was delayed for half an hour compared to the plan, but a hot meal undoubtedly made Sawyer gain more favor from the mercenaries.

In the evening, Sawyer and the rest of the mercenary group rushed to today's destination, the Valtham Tower, but this time the group of robbers with good economic acumen were a little nervous, and saw more than 50 people galloping towards Sawyer from a distance, and thought that some nearby legion was going to train them.

But fortunately, Sawyer stopped everyone when he was out of range of the archers, and the two sides had a tacit understanding that they each sent one person to meet in the middle, Sawyer's side sent Bingxuan, and the Valtham bandit group sent a somewhat weak girl.

Originally, Sawa was still waiting nervously, for fear that the other side would not agree with each other and do it directly, but just ten minutes later, Bing Xuan came back, followed by the robber girl, but he ignored everyone, just followed behind Bing Xuan with a red face.

"Tsk, Xiaoice Xuan went to tease my sister again...... Oh! ”

The joke was Ah Ye, the third-in-command of the mercenary group, and the mercenaries liked to call him Uncle Ye, but as soon as he finished speaking, he was stepped on by Bing Xuan on his toes, and he spun in place while holding his feet, causing laughter from the mercenaries behind him.

"Tsk, Uncle Ye has smoked Bingxuan again."

Sawa learned Uncle Ye's tone, causing another round of laughter.

"Let's go, let's go, don't worry about stupidity, they're already arranging a place for us over there."

Bing Xuan glanced at Ah Ye with a funny face, obviously they are all high-level fighters, but they still have to pretend to be in pain, obviously they are usually so calm guys, hey, they have a headache.

On the other side, the Valcem bandit group has also prepared a place for everyone, but it is a kilometer away from the tower, obviously not at ease with the mercenary group, and the mercenary group has the same mind, although the place is a little simple, but it doesn't say much.

After leaving a few people to keep vigil in shifts, Sawyer fell asleep deeply, this day riding made him very tired, although the day before, under the personal guidance of the owner of the carriage shop Bucholem, he had mastered the essentials of horseback riding, but his body was still not suitable for this life on horseback.

(It's really nonsense, if you continue like this, do you want to learn from the Mongolian cavalry to play mounted archery?) )

After complaining, Sawyer fell asleep, and snoring sounded in the camp.

In the early morning of the next day, it was still before dawn Sawa was shouted, and he didn't even open his eyes along the way, so he was pulled by the collar and didn't know where he was led, and when he got to the place, he yawned only to find that it was the assassin girl Bingxuan who was pulling him away!

Glancing at it, it turned out that Divo was negotiating with the Valtham bandits, Divo wanted to take the horses and leave, but the bandits took a fancy to the horses of the mercenary group and wanted to forcibly buy a few, and after Sawyer came over, the two of them stopped communicating very tacitly and looked at the ...... Bingxuan!

Well, Bing Xuan was actually sent out by Divo to pull reinforcements, and the leader of the bandit group directly ignored Sawa who didn't wake up, after all, the strength of Sawya's low-level archers is too low.

"Boss Koya, I'm still the same sentence, do you think you can keep us all?"

Bing Xuan squinted his eyes and spoke, although it was a question, there was a threatening chill in his tone.

"Heh," the bandit leader named Koya chuckled and looked at Bingxuan with disdain, "What if you can't?" Can you still run back and move the rescuers? Don't be funny, who doesn't know the famous Silver Flame, what if you are amazing? The other mercenary groups see you as a thorn in their side, who will come to avenge you? Could it be this stupid boy? Hahahaha! ”

"Huh, silly boy? He's ......."

Looking at the robber leader who laughed, Bing Xuan also sneered, and was about to say something, but a hand was pressed on his shoulder, and when he turned around, he found that Sawa was squinting at the bandit leader, and the haze on his face was all gone, but there was a coldness in his flashing eyes.

"Silly boy? Silly big man, are you talking about me? ”

"That's right, that is, you, what, the little guy wants to be beaten!"

"Beaten? You can try, and then I can bring an army to encircle you in the name of murdering the nobles of Xueman. ”

The corners of Sawyer's mouth were smiling, but his tone was like the cold wind of deep winter, which made the bandit leader shiver.

"Aristocrats? Just by your milky ...... Wait a minute! Are you the newly-crowned Lord? ”

"Yo, it's pretty well-informed." The smile on the corner of Sawyer's mouth became a little thicker, "How about it, are you still planning to do it?" ”

"Hmph, today Lao Tzu confessed, come on! Release! ”

The bandit leader took a few heavy breaths, but he still couldn't make up his mind to kill Sawyer, and finally just snorted coldly and waved his hand to let people go.

"Koya, huh?"

Just as Koya was about to turn around and leave angrily, he was stopped by Sawyer.

"What, is there anything else with this 'noble'?"

Seeing the bandit leader gritting his teeth, the corners of Sawyer's mouth bloomed with a smile again, but this time there was no such cold chill.

"After all, after staying with you for one night, the rules still have to be followed."

Sawa smiled and threw a small bag of gold coins at Koya, the bandit leader apparently didn't expect Sawa to give him money, so he paused for a moment, waiting for the wallet to hit his chest before scrambling to catch it with both hands.

"What is this?"

"Twenty Septin, I remember counting the toll and lodging fees, it should be about the same price."

Sawyer explained with a smile, in fact, according to the price of this group of robbers, it has been more than doubled, but the opportunity to pass by here in the future is obviously not too small, twenty gold coins can just dispel the resentment of the robbers, and it will not arouse the greed of the other party too much, and it is better to have a good fate than to be swords next time.

"Lord is a wonderful man, too."

After watching the bandit leader's face turn from angry to tangled, and even a little embarrassed, Bingxuan also chuckled, pulled the confused Divo and turned away, Sawa looked at Koya with a tangled face, and left with a word, while Koya, who stayed in place, was even more entangled.

The words are like this: "I am very interested in the development of your here, some investment interest, want to build this place into a transit station for the three major territories, or even a characteristic commercial city, you think about it, I will give me an answer when I come next time." ”

In fact, as the junction of the territory of the three provinces, the importance of the Valtham Tower is far more than the three provinces, the commercial trade between Snow Man City and Wind Helm City is naturally needless to say, the seafood of the Ghost Sea is also sought after in the mainland, and the ship merchants who go down the river from Furcres to Wind Helm City through Snow Man, and most of the merchants who go to Rift Valley City from Snow Man Territory have to pass through here, as if it is the prototype of a commercial city, although it is not as good as Snow Man City, but it is also possible to develop into a transit city.

Therefore, in Sawyer's eyes, this group of robbers is at most a bit of an economic mind, but they have no long-term vision at all, and the non-belonging nature of the bandit group and the special location at the junction of the three provinces can develop a neutral commercial city in a few years, and it is not difficult to understand that Sawyer values this place so much.

Of course, now is not the time to talk about this, after all, firstly, he does not have enough money, and the gold coins needed to develop a city, even if he is sold, it is not enough, and secondly, it is necessary to consider the feelings of Uncle Ba, after all, this side is still nominally in the territory of Xuemanling, although these robbers are quite honest, but what if Uncle Ba looks at this side and does not like it, he will directly send troops to attack.

Therefore, in Sawyer's consideration, it is best to brush up on his reputation first, and it is best to wait until he obtains the title of viscount and can buy a large manor outside the city, and then consider this matter, before that, give this group of robbers a hope, and it can be regarded as showing them a way, so that they can develop slowly first.
