The next morning, before the sun rose, Sawyer and Filina left the tavern and rode to Snowy City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Riding a horse on the road is naturally much faster than walking slowly, even if there is no shortcut along the main road, but also rushed to Xueman City before the sun sets, when Sawa deposited the horse in the stable of Xueman City, and then rushed to the city gate, the city gate of Xueman City was ready to close, a group of city guards were driving people who wanted to enter the city outside the city gate, and after seeing Sawyer and Filina, two soldiers immediately greeted them.

"What people! The gates are shut, you ...... Ah, it's a knight-sama! We—We didn't know you were coming. ”

The two soldiers shouted before they could get closer, obviously they were already very skilled in business, and when they got closer, they suddenly recognized Sawyer, and immediately stammered a little, for fear that Sawa would not be happy to teach them a lesson.

Although the knights are not nobles, they are much stronger than the lowest city guards like them, and no one will speak for them if they are taught a lesson because of their disrespectful words.

However, Sawyer obviously didn't bother to pursue them, waved his hand to signal them not to be nervous, and waited for the two to become less excited before asking, "Can we still enter the city now?" ”

"Of course, please come with me."

The two soldiers bowed slightly, trotted in front to lead the way, and a group of people who wanted to enter the city in the back saw this, and they all moved a little, and a few people quarreled with the city guards and asked to enter the city.

"What a noise! He's a knight! If you have the ability, you can also become a knight, and I will let you into the city! Now it's all scattered for me! Otherwise, don't blame me for arresting someone! ”

Seeing this, the team leader who commanded the maintenance of law and order shouted directly at the head of the city, and the people outside the city gate dispersed.

After entering the city, Filina originally wanted to go to the mare banner to eat something first, but was pulled by Sawa and went directly to the Dragon Night Palace, just in time for the dinner in the Dragon Night Palace, and Bargulf didn't mind when he saw the sudden arrival of the two, but just asked the guards to add two more stools.

"My lord, we're back from the Hosgar Peak."

Uncle Ba was easy-going, and Sawa couldn't be casual, but first saluted Barguf before pulling out the stool and sitting down.

"Yes, yes, worthy of the legendary dragonborn! Have you been approved by the Greybeard Masters? ”

"That's natural, the Graybeard Masters have recognized me and Firina Dragonborn's identities and taught us the art of dragon roaring."

Barguf, who was sitting in the first place, nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and the nobles and generals present were also a little surprised and envious when they heard this, and they exchanged ideas with each other.

"Snowman City Fame +20!"

Hearing the reminder in his ears, the smile in Sawyer's eyes became even stronger, now that the prestige of Snow City has reached 85 points, he can get the knighthood with a little more effort.

After thinking about it, Sawyer stood up again and said to Barguf:

"My lord, I have sent your greetings to the Graybeard Masters, who have asked me to bring you something."

After saying that, Sawa took out a small cloth bag from his waist and handed it to the guards behind him, who immediately gave the small cloth bag to Barguf.

Barguv took the small cloth bag, opened a corner and took a look, then quickly rewrapped the small cloth bag, put it into his arms with a solemn face, and looked at Sawyer with a much softer gaze.

"Sawyer, are you interested in becoming a nobleman of my Xue Manling?"

"Thank you very much." Sawyer was in debt again.

"Good! From today onwards, you are the Lord of the Snow Manling! Avensi, go and draw up a proclamation to tell my lords that they have one more lord! ”

"Yes, my lord."

The somewhat balding Provantus Avinsi stood up from his seat, bowed slightly and left the hall, while at the same time, two prompts rang in Sawyer's ears in succession:

"Snowman City Fame +20!"

"You've earned the title of Lord and opened the army system."

Before Sawa could check the army system, he heard Uncle Ba say:

"Sawyer, now that you have obtained the title of lord, then you can buy a property in this city at a low price, I remember that there seem to be a few houses for sale in the plain area, you can go and talk to Avensi, in addition, you can also recruit some mercenaries or adventurers as your personal soldiers, to protect your safety, if there is anything you don't understand, you can also ask Avensi, he is also more clear about this."

"Thank you, Lord Lord, for the point."

Here Sawa also nodded, but he didn't rush to find Avensi, after all, people are still preparing the announcement of becoming a lord, and it is not good to leave the table halfway, the most important thing is that there are so many dishes, it is too wasteful not to eat!

Half an hour later, Soya touched his somewhat swollen belly, and a heart that belonged to a foodie finally stopped throbbing after he was full of wine and food, and then he said goodbye to Uncle Ba and many ministers and generals with satisfaction, but Felina next to him was still eating and eating...... Sawyer was embarrassed for a while.

In the end, it was Sawa who pulled the collar of Filina's armor, said goodbye to Uncle Ba very apologetically, and dragged Phina, who still wanted to grab something and stuff it into her mouth, out of the Dragon Night Palace, and followed Avexi to Aveinsi's house.

In reality, Avenxi is no longer living in the small room in the residential area of Longxiao Palace, as the secretary of Barguf, and his colleague is also the big butler of Xuemanling, Awenxi naturally owns a property of his own, and it is also a three-story villa in the wind area, for which Sawa can only express envy.

"You're going to buy a house? And to train private soldiers? ”

Sitting in the reception room on the second floor, Vensi was not surprised by Sawya's question, but asked a servant who looked like a housekeeper to go back to the room and take out a few title deeds and give them to Sawyer, and then asked someone to take a map and spread it out on the table, and began to introduce Sawa to these properties.

The three properties are all ordinary houses in the Plains District, and the most expensive one is only three thousand gold coins, and the cheapest small house is even only eight hundred gold coins, which is only one percent of the price quoted by the Wind House in the Wind District, and the difference of a hundred times makes Sawa staggered.

After listening to Avinsi's brief introduction, Sawyer chose a small two-story building, according to Avinsi, this house includes a master bedroom, two guest rooms, and two servants' small rooms, as well as a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, and a toilet that is connected to the underground water system of Snowman.

As for the issue of servants and private soldiers, Avensi just said that Sawya could send a notice by himself to recruit servants and private soldiers, but he did not suggest that Sawyer recruit private soldiers, but suggested that if Sawa had anything, it would be good to hire a mercenary group directly, because if you hire a single mercenary or adventurer, not only will the quality be uneven, but the loyalty will also be difficult to guarantee, but there is no convenience for a formal mercenary group.

Sawyer was noncommittal about this, and after thanking Avissi, he went to the guest room with Philina to rest, led by a servant of the Avency family.

The next day, Sawya took Philina and went to see the property under the leadership of Avinsi, and the old Devin was also found by a servant of the Avinsi family, and it is said that he participated in an auction a few days ago, and sold all the pine leaf cakes and fruit wine in his hand, and after deducting the auction commission, he also earned more than 2,300 gold coins, and Sawyer was also very happy about this, and immediately said that he could take one of the profits made by Old Devin as a salary in the future.

After looking at the property, Sawyer was very satisfied, asked the price, the price of 2,500 gold coins instantly killed him, just now he thought that more than 2,000 gold coins was also rich, but he couldn't even afford a house.

After scraping together the money on his body, after counting the remuneration given to him by Comalin, he reluctantly scraped together more than two thousand five hundred gold coins, gritted his teeth, and finally bought this property, although he would spend all his gold coins, but how to have a 'home', as a more traditional Chinese in his bones, Sawyer is still more yearning for the concept of home.

However, when it was time to pay the money, Avensi told him that as a lord, he could enjoy a nine-percent discount when buying a house, which immediately made Sawa breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, Avensi also told him that in fact, Lord Barguf was going to give him a reward of 1,000 gold coins before, although it had not yet been approved, but now it can also be used to pay for the house.

So after paying the money and sending Avensi away, Sawyer found that he still had a 'huge sum' of about 1,300 gold coins left in his hand, and after thinking about it for a while, Sawyer took out 1,000 gold coins from the remaining money and threw it to Old Devin to operate, including finding a reliable servant to clean up the house.

The remaining three hundred gold coins he is going to hire a small mercenary group to escort him to the Kinai Forest, after all, this time it needs to travel across the border, Bucholem's face can't be so far, if he doesn't hire a mercenary group, the carriage dealer will not take this business.

However, regarding the mercenary group, Sawyer did not directly go to the mare banner to recruit, although most of the mercenary groups without tasks will leave a liaison, and even directly the head of the group lives in the mare banner, but the quality cannot be guaranteed at all, and there are even rumors of killing the employer halfway, after all, at this time of year, some unregular mercenary groups will occasionally make cameo appearances in a bandit group.

Although Sawa was not afraid of being hacked, he didn't want to get into trouble, so he finally went to the Yuehuasca Hall and contacted a mercenary group with a good reputation and strength through the comrade group.

The name of this mercenary group is Silver Flame, and there are a total of fifty people, including the commander, a total of two high-level warriors (level 30+), one high-level assassin, three intermediate destruction mages (level 20+, destruction 50+), two intermediate priests, seven intermediate assassins, twelve intermediate archers and twenty-three intermediate warriors, and the strength is also extremely strong.

The person who negotiated with Sawyer was the leader of the mercenary group, Divocoste, whose name means devouring wind in Guunod, with long silver hair and a square face, but it unexpectedly gave people a sense of fortitude, and Sawyer's first impression of him was highly rated.

However, when talking about commissions, Divo really didn't let it go, and set the reserve price, just to go to the Kenai Forest at least five hundred gold coins, if someone was seriously injured or killed, he had to pay a lot of money for settling in, and he had to pay off eighty percent of the round-trip fee at one time, that is, eight hundred gold coins.

The two sides debated in the room for half an hour, but they couldn't convince each other, and it wasn't until the news of Sawyer's becoming Lord came that Divo relented a little and agreed to Sawyer's request for three hundred gold coins one way.

"Tsk, this lord is a good thing."

After signing the contract with the mercenary group, Sawa shook hands with Divo and sighed, and Divo smiled as a matter of course:

"Because, as a nobleman, you always have some privileges, and the status of a nobleman is the best credit certificate, and the most important thing is that even if you can't afford to pay enough, the lord will pay it for you temporarily, and you only need to be responsible for the lord."

"Hmm, that's what 'bookkeeping' is called?"

Sawyer patted his head and laughed: "Let's go, let's go have lunch together, and talk about the distribution plan of the loot by the way." ”
