Xu Dong was extremely satisfied with the harvest of this slave market, a small slave market could actually meet an orc lord and a dwarven holy furnace blacksmith! And those two elven beauties not only have a noble temperament, but they can actually sing the hymn of life of the long disappeared high elf race! To say that they are just two ordinary elves, Xu Dong will not believe it.

"Big brother, why are we going now?" Xu Song asked.

"We need to recruit a lot of people to restore and expand the Pearl Castle. You also need to hire two Guardian Knights of the Territory. Xu Dong thought for a while and replied.

"What a knight to hire! We are two in armor, more knights than knights. Zhou Yiqing said.

Xu Dong: "......"

"So, Mr. Simon. Please pay me an advance of 10,000 gold coins. The rest will be sent to the Château de la Pearl by sunset tomorrow at the latest. Xu Dong said to Simon.

"Oh, good lord! Please wait. Simon immediately ran to the big mansion next to the slave market.

In the next half hour, Simon and several servants delivered bags of coins to Xu Dong, all of which added up to more than 6,000 gold coins and more than 30,000 silver coins. Finally, I managed to make up an advance payment of 10,000 kinnars. There are more than a dozen sacks, but fortunately Xu Dong has a storage ring, otherwise it would be really difficult to bring.

Saying goodbye to Simon, Xu Dong took Xu Song and the two to the largest weapon store in the city, and let Xu Song and Zhou Yiqing choose their favorite equipment. I have to say that this weapon store called "Hawke's Light of Honor" is indeed full of goods, swords, swords, halberds, armor, shields, and Linglang. And the quality of workmanship is excellent.

Xu Song and Zhou Yiqing went directly to select equipment, while Xu Dong drank tea and waited in a smoke house next to the store. The tobacco leaves of the Continent of Warcraft are also high-priced, so there are many such tobacco houses in the city, in addition to providing dry tobacco and hookah, the tobacco houses also sell tea and snacks. Under the persuasion of the owner of the tobacco shop, Xu Dong also tried the tobacco leaves in the tobacco shop, and almost choked to death after taking a puff!

Just as Xu Dong was choking on tears, Xu Song and Zhou Yiqing walked out of the weapon store proudly wearing a full set of armor.

Zhou Yiqing was okay, and chose a set of relatively close-fitting medium-sized soft steel armor, exquisite breastplate, carved shoulder, arm and leg armor, and a noble knight's helmet with peacock feathers. He also wore a sky-blue cape and held a one-handed sword and shield. Coupled with his handsome appearance, he is very knightly.

Xu Song's equipment was relatively speechless, and Xu Dong directly squirted out the tea in his mouth at a glance. At this time, Xu Song was a walking iron giant, with black super-heavy plate armor, a thick and weird skeleton-covered helmet, and the entire armor was carved with complex and terrifying patterns, as if it was the pattern of various demons in hell. In his hand, he was holding a double-ended armor-piercing steel rod more than two meters long. A blood-red cloak behind him.

"it! You must have at least a thousand pounds in this body! The style is still so tyrannical, walking on the battlefield, you don't have to fight, you are scared to death! But that doesn't look like your personality, does it? Could it be that you're the sullen type? Xu Dong complained while tapping Xu Song's armor with his fingers, making a "bell" sound.

Xu Song waved the armor-breaking stick in his hand, danced a stick flower, and laughed: "Let's step on the war horse!" Gallop on the glorious battlefield! ”

Xu Dong stroked his forehead and said: "Are you sure you are wearing this iron can, which other war horse can move you?"

"Uh, this ......" Xu Song was speechless for a moment.

"Haha, so he's a fool! A knight can't ride a horse, he's a fart knight! Zhou Yiqing laughed wildly.

"You know the! I can't ride a horse, I can ride something else, like a dragon! Xu Song said angrily.

"Wha!" This time, Xu Dong also laughed.

Just as the three of them were laughing, the owner of the weapons shop said next to him, who didn't know the current affairs: "Take the patronage!" A total of 460 kinnars. ”

"! What do you say? How much? Xu Dong was almost scared to death.

"Oh, my honour the noble priest! The two knights purchased a total of 460 kinnars. The weapon shop owner repeated it again.

"I beeped a grass dog! Two pieces of armor you sell for 460 gold coins? Are you a fool for me? A high-ranking knight's salary is only 120 kinnars a year! Are you robbing? Xu Dong grabbed the weapon shop owner by the collar and yelled.

The owner of the weapon shop said with a sad face: "Your Excellency! This shop is the property of Lord Count Nadel, Lord of Lilac Castle, and we will not charge indiscriminately. The two knights bought two of the best pieces of armor in our shop, and they picked the best weapons. Especially that set of dark fears, but the treasure of our store! ”

"Oh, it's the Earl's shop! Sure enough, you get what you pay for! Such a beautiful and excellent armor, the asking price of 460 is not expensive at all! As soon as Xu Dong heard that it was the Lilac Castle Lord's shop, he immediately let go of his hand and said while patting the non-existent ash on his body to the weapon shop owner.

Xu Song and Zhou Yiqing: "......"

Xu Dong paid the bill very happily and talked to the owner of the weapon shop for a while. In a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, wave goodbye to the owner of the weapons shop.

The three of them walked on the stone street of Lilac Castle, and Xu Dong didn't say a word.

"Big brother, where are we going? Why don't you speak? Xu Song asked.

"Don't talk! My heart is bleeding! Xu Dong said.

"Didn't it just cost some money, you know, armor is the face of a knight." Xu Song said.

"You're right, but the problem is that you two are not knights at all! Wearing armor is also used to pretend to be forced! Xu Dong said angrily.

"Uh, this ......" The two were speechless.

"Let's go to the city clerk and write two recruitment posts. Enough people must be recruited before sunset today! Depart early tomorrow morning to return to Pearl Collar. Xu Dongdao.

"How many people are we going to recruit?" Zhou Yiqing asked.

"We need a lot of builders, carpenters, stonemasons, and some soldiers. The monthly salary of a worker is 3 silver nar, and the soldier's salary is 4 silver nar. This is a lot more than the money given by other nobles, and I believe that many people will come to apply. Xu Dong said with his fingers crossed.

"But why do we have to build a castle in that area where birds don't?" Xu Song wondered.

"Because I can only teleport to the piece where the birds don't!" Xu Dong gritted his teeth and said.

"Oh, that's unfortunate......" Xu Song said with a shrug.

"So, we also need to buy a lot of food! Pearl collars don't produce food, and we have to find a way to solve this problem! Otherwise, sooner or later, the gate will be opened! Xu Dong pinched his forehead and said.

"What to do? Do you recruit more farmers to farm the land? Zhou Yiqing said.

"Do you think that broken ground that doesn't even grow a few roots of grass can grow food?" Xu Dong said speechlessly.

"What then? Have you been buying it? Xu Song said.

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, but fortunately, the pearl realm is not far from the Shadow Forest and the Endless Mountains, and there are orc tribes on the other side of the river. If you can do business, you can do business, and if you can't do it, you will rob him! Xu Dong said fiercely.

"Ha, that's a good feeling. Fuck him! Xu Song said with a smile.

The three of them went to the Lilac Fort Government Office, found the administrative officer to write two recruitment lists, and paid the administrative officer ten gold coins to send someone to the city to publicize. Seeing that Xu Dong was a Holy Light pastor, the administrative officer didn't dare to slack off, and he had benefits to take it, so why not do it. So he sent dozens of officials to beat gongs and drums everywhere to help Xu Dong recruit people.

In short, the recruitment situation is very optimistic, after all, Xu Dong gives a lot of salary. By dusk, more than 2,500 craftsmen and workers of all kinds were recruited, and 700 soldiers were recruited. Xu Dong asked them to set up a simple camp outside the city, and prepare to return to Pearl Territory early tomorrow morning.

"The Monster Continent is really a strange place! If someone in the Celestial Empire dared to recruit troops so unscrupulously, it is estimated that they would have come to encircle and suppress it a long time ago. Xu Song sighed.

"This is the disadvantage of the lord system, as long as the news does not reach the capital of the kingdom, no one can control us. And the lords of all places, without the king's order, would never dare to attack a priest of the Holy Light. Xu Dong smiled.

There was no word all night, and the next morning, outside the city of Lilac Castle was full of people and lively. Coupled with more than 900 slaves sent by Simon, a total of more than 4,100 people drove to the pearl collar under the leadership of Xu Dong. He was accompanied by more than 200 carts of oxen, loaded with grain and necessary tools. 700 unequipped recruits escorted the convoy to the back of the line.

In the afternoon, the ruins of the Pearl Castle were already in sight, and Xu Dong hugged the two elf beauties from the ox cart one by one.

"Less than ten miles to the west is the Shadow Forest, and it's time for you to go home. I'll ask Knight Xu Song to send you back, and remember to come to Pearl Castle to play when you have time. Xu Dong said with a smile.

"My lord......" The two beautiful elves had tears on their faces and a look of parting sadness.

"My lord! There is a case! A cavalry scout standing guard around the ranks rode over.

"What's the alarm?" Xu Dong asked.

"Less than eight miles to the west, more than a hundred mercenaries are camping on the edge of the forest. They seem to have captured a few elves. The scout reported.

"Hehe, yesterday I just declared my covenant with the elves. These guys really hit me in the face! Xu Dong laughed angrily.

"My lord! Our soldiers are unequipped and untrained. It's not time to go to war! The dwarf Thunderhammer jumped down from the ox cart and said.

"Soldiers? Just more than 100 miscellaneous soldiers, give him face! Xu Song and Zhou Yiqing, you go and go back quickly. Not a single one to stay! Xu Dong said coldly.

"Yes, my lord!" The two of them carried light skills, and although they were wearing armor, they still rushed away at a very fast speed.

Xu Dong shouted: "The team continues to move forward, temporarily led by Lei Hammer, and stationed in Pearl Castle." I'll go back as soon as I go. ”

After speaking, he held the hands of the two elf beauties and smiled: "Don't be afraid, I will personally send you back."

The two elves nodded, and very meekly led by Xu Dong to the Shadow Forest. The silver-haired elf looked a little uneasy, followed Xu Dong for a while, and couldn't help but say, "My lord, will you send two knights to fight those evil people?"

Xu Dong smiled: "Don't worry, the two of them are very strong!" It's only a little bit worse than me. Ha ha. ”

The elf nodded and followed Xu Dong to stop talking. Somehow, she trusted Xu Dong very much. Miles had passed quickly, and there was a faint sound of fighting and shouting ahead.

Xu Dong said with a smile: "These two guys are not growing up more and more!" A few miscellaneous soldiers haven't solved it for a long time. As he spoke, he pulled the two elves and quickened his pace.

He hadn't gone far before a wooden fence appeared in front of him, and a heavy smell of blood came to his face.

Xu Dong dragged the two elves into the fence, only to see the corpses in one place, all of which were mercenaries wearing various chain mail leather armor. In the middle of the camp, there were still more than forty mercenaries who were besieging Xu Song and Zhou Yiqing. In a tent on one side of the camp, seven elves, five men and two women, sat on the ground with their hands tied behind their backs, and two mercenaries armed with scimitars watched over them.

Among the mercenaries besieging Xu Song and Zhou Yiqing, a mercenary wearing half-body armor and holding a long sword was brandishing his sword and shouting, "Damn it! Where did these two guys come from? How is it so strong? It's not like an NPC, why are you attacking us? ”

Hearing this, Xu Dong's smiling face became gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's actually a player!"
