Chapter 123: United
"Tucheng? What a big breath! The black-robed mage slapped the flyer handed over by Zhu Qian on the table, but a sense of powerlessness surged from the bottom of his heart.
He really couldn't understand how a fledgling immature mercenary group could have such a big appeal and let the mercenaries flock to him, but then, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's okay, so they will become a thorn in the guild's side, and no matter how powerful they are, they are just a mercenary group, and the battle between mercenary groups is not allowed to involve people outside the establishment, so let them be arrogant for a month." ”
"Leader, what if a master joins?" Pig Qian was a little worried.
"Master? Hehe. In the battle between mercenary groups, there are clear regulations that the mercenaries who join temporarily are not allowed to exceed one-third of the number of mercenary groups, and when they were originally established, there were six people, and the first-level mercenary group was only ten people, so how high can the master be? What's more, we don't have no hole cards. ”
"That's what the head of the regiment said." On the fat face of the pig, a hideous smile appeared.
At dinner, at the dining table, Lisa sat at the table dirty, and asked suspiciously: "Sophie, although the point system can quickly attract people, but it is mixed, and it is not good if there are unscrupulous people mixed in." Besides, I've worked hard all day, clearing almost half of the sewers in the main city, and I've only earned five gold coins, and we don't have any income at all, and the merchants are still collecting debts. ”
Poor Lisa, doing the hardest work, but getting the lowest pay, not to mention Jestis, even the heartless Sophia can't bear to look at it.
"Don't worry about this problem, good people come to contribute, and bad people come to make contributions, isn't it? Lisa, it seems like hard work to clean the sewers with purification, but don't you think your light spell is progressing so fast? When you are confronted with all that filthy waste and disgusting maggots, isn't it your unwavering faith that sustains you to keep going? Money is only the material reward for your hard work, and what you get is the heart that only knows how to pray in front of the statue of the goddess of light, and the mind cannot reach it for a lifetime. ”
Looking at Sophie with a serious face, Lisa's eyes lit up and she was in awe: "Sophie, I know, thank you!" ”
"This is the test of the goddess of light for you, you are doing a good job, I am optimistic about you."
"Thank you, Sophie, I won't let you down." Sophie at this moment, in Lisa's eyes, seems to be blooming with divine light, how can such a knight who believes in light be an undead? If it weren't for the fact that Ali hung on Sophie's chest like a dead dog all day, Lisa almost doubted that the Pope's judgment had been wrong. In other words, this dog, except for the horns on his head and wings on both sides, doesn't seem to be anything special? In addition to that look, the tail like the arrow gives people a sense of evil, and I'm really too lazy to say anything.
"Very well, Lisa, keep at it, believe in yourself, and clean up the other half of the sewer tomorrow for the sake of light." Sophie nodded in satisfaction.
"However, the problem of money is still an unavoidable hurdle." Christina sighed softly, she was not as miserable as Lisa, but today I was a nanny for a day to show the children, and the tired baby was crying and almost lost her breath, if she hadn't reacted in time to feed, of course, not her own, I'm afraid that today's two silver coins would not be able to earn it.
"Christina......" Sophie looked at her gently.
"I know, my ice magic has also improved, in order to make that little baby laugh, I have never spent so much time in my life to use ice magic to create all kinds of toys floating in the air to attract her attention." Christina is obviously not a little Lori like Lisa, she can feel Sophie's intentions, but the problem of money is always a hurdle that cannot be bypassed, and she understands this better than Lisa.
"This question, Qingge, you can explain." Sophie decisively shifted his mind, and since Qingge came, this sentence has almost become Sophie's mantra.
"First of all, we don't really need as much money as we think. Now is the stage of primitive accumulation, we need to maximize the use of resources, use gold coins to circulate, which is not only a waste of time, but also inefficient, and will reduce the influence of our point system. Merchants also need to buy materials, we barter, use points in exchange for materials, use materials to offset the account, gold coins do not need to circulate here at all for the time being, what we need is just a prop to measure the market price, this is the biggest use of gold coins here, we can not destroy the balance of the market, from a close point of view, it will cause dissatisfaction with other guilds and mercenary groups, looking at it from a distance, unequal values will cause deformed development, we do not have enough power to influence the market price direction now. ”
"However, the goods of the merchants are limited, and the speed at which they manufacture them is far from keeping up with the demand, and we simply do not have enough manpower." Jestis asks a very real question.
"People are not a problem at all, we will regularly release some limited-time activities, such as the task of repairing the house released today, which is limited to three days, and those who have the ability to recruit, and there are extra points for completing the task, so that we can recruit the best people in the shortest time, and the essence is not more. In terms of manufacturing, we can post apprenticeship tasks, apprenticeship volunteer labor, have the opportunity to learn, and when the finished product is sold, it will be converted into a corresponding proportion of points according to the shares, I think such a position should be hot, right? Moreover, we can use the apprentice's voluntary labor to offset some of the gold coins. ”
"Too ...... It's too dark, right? Norman was shocked and couldn't close his mouth, that is, let people work, and not give money, but also let people pay off their debts for them, and the apprentice was happy to fart, Norman served, this little girl is afraid that she doesn't have to kill people herself. As everyone knows, he is infinitely close to the truth.
"All kinds of facilities can be built according to demand, even taverns, inns and the like can also be built, and the corresponding people can be hired to live here, not everyone likes the kind of life that licks blood from the knife, especially the family with a mouth. But the city walls, don't go to repair. ”
"Why?" Everyone was puzzled, even Qingge was a little puzzled.
"Here, it will eventually become our city, it is called Tucheng, it is a symbol, a belief, it does not belong to anyone, all those who pay for it are worth having."
Belief! Everyone looked at Sophie in shock, never expecting that the word faith came out of Sophie's mouth, who "bullied men and women, abducted children", so sonorous and powerful.
"The most important thing is that with the city walls, you encircle yourself and define your boundaries. How broad a person's vision is, does not depend on his eyes, but on his heart, my heart, boundless! ”
