Chapter 149: Recruitment
After greeting these people, the king's canonization ceremony officially began, Cecil and 12 other people knelt on the ground to accept the king's gift, Cecil was enthroned in the county of Fodro, just in the northernmost part of the province of Samara, and also a county bordering the orc empire, that is, the forefront of the kingdom.

The county of Fordrow had nearly 30 estates, which was twice as much as the Kent county he had inspected at the time, and the size of the individual estates was much larger, which translates to almost three times the amount of arable land in Kent, but this kind of generous division did not make Cecil too happy at all, he knew that his test was much greater. If he can't hold it, no matter how big the land is, because it is located in the northernmost part of Samara Province, it is almost the place where the forward legions of the orcs harass the most, and what lies in front of him is probably a huge problem.
Cecil inadvertently saw Princess Freya, this beautiful princess inadvertently found a strange gaze when she looked at her, and suddenly he remembered the marriage contract between Princess Freya and Prince Maisar, this is his enemy, it seems that even in the kingdom of Sauroran himself, he must not take it lightly.
After the canonization ceremony, Cecil and the Count walked out of the palace, and the Lord Count said to Cecil very happily: "Congratulations, Cecil, no, you should be called Baron Augustine now, you are young and have a bright future." ”
Cecil humbly replied, "It's still more dependent on the cultivation of adults." ”
"Is there anything you can ask me for?" Count Cassikud asked.
"I have just become a noble lord, I don't have any family background, and I don't have a few talents under my command who can be used, and I went to such a complicated and delicate place, can the Earl send some people to me, I still have to deal with these unfavorable situations."
Cecil knew that it would be difficult for the Count to satisfy himself when he made this request, after the Battle of the Demon Gate, whether it was the kingdom or the nobles, they had really suffered heavy losses, and they might be able to meet the money and medicine, but if they needed manpower, I was afraid that the Earl's shortage of soldiers was even higher than his own, so Cecil's expectations for the Count to meet his requirements were not very large.
Sure enough, the earl was stunned when he heard his request, and only after a while did he say: "Well, I don't have a lot of manpower, so it's impossible to give you much help in terms of personnel, if you need other help, you can come to me as much as possible." ”
Cecil had made a fortune lately, and he didn't need any help from money or goods, so when he heard the Count say this, he could only shake his head in disappointment.
The Earl also felt a little embarrassed to see Cecil's disappointed appearance, and wanted to help others with a lot of money, but as soon as others opened their mouths, they had no way to satisfy themselves, which really hurt the dignity of the Earl, he had an idea, and suddenly said to Cecil: "I have an old man, a knight of the Holy Order, he is outstanding, but he was discouraged because of a blow to an incident many years ago, and now he is a drunkard, I don't know if people have been abolished, if Cecil you have a heart, you can go to find him, See if he's willing to go north with you.
Cecil was happy when he heard it, and he was a deeply affected person who drank and greedy for cups since then, how can he be the same as Mr. Collins, the more such people may be more talented, Cecil said at that time that he was willing to go and see. Then he said to the Count, "I would like to go and see this knight." ”
"Since you are willing to meet him, I can introduce him, his name is Corion, he lives in those civilian houses in the Yishui District, you can go to him with my letter of introduction." The Count gave Cecil a letter in hand.
Cecil took the letter and immediately thanked the Count and went to the Yishui District, which was the most dilapidated and backward area of the entire city of Isara, where all the poor and unemployed people who lived undignified lives and begged for a living were reduced to this place, and even the gangsters did not bother to take over here, because there was really no oil and water here.
As soon as Cecil entered this neighborhood, a smell of feces came to his face, Cecil could only cover his nose tightly, the facilities here are extremely incomplete, there is not even a toilet, all the people do not have the habit of going to the toilet, and the whole ground is full of dirty excrement, Cecil is extremely dissatisfied with this, although at that time this place also reflected the appearance of a period of ancient Europe in Cecil's world, so it was made like this by the Creator, but Cecil still felt a little disgusting. Enduring the intense nausea, Cecil came to the place introduced by the Count.
The place was a noisy street, and the knight of the Holy Order lived in this dilapidated wooden door, Cecil knocked on the door, but no one answered a few times, and an old woman came out from the side: "Who are you looking for, this lord?"
"I'm looking for Knight Crane." Cecil said.
"Knight of Corion? You are mistaken, this adult, there is only one drunken old man Corion, who already owes me half a year's rent, and if he doesn't pay the rent again, I will kick him out. The old woman said hatefully.
Cecil smiled dumbly: "How much does this uncle owe you in total?" ”
"18 copper coins! This bastard, who has the money to drink but not the money to pay my rent, I have to ......" The old lady suddenly couldn't say any more as she said this, for she saw a glittering gold coin dangling in front of her eyes.
"I don't know if that's enough," Cecil asked, smiling.
"It's enough, it's enough, but I don't have the money to find it." The old lady was telling the truth, she had lived in this neighborhood all her life, and she probably had never seen so much money in her life.
"No need to look for it," Cecil said without even thinking about it, and now he really didn't care about this one gold coin
"Thanks, thanks, thanks" The old lady did not expect that she had made a fortune, and she hurriedly moved a bench for Cecil
"Forget it, I'll stand and wait" Cecil didn't want to sit, but saw that the stool was really dirty, so he preferred to stand........
Cecil waited for four hours, it was already late, only to see a tower-like strong man swaying to this side, Cecil saw that the appearance of this strong man was no longer young, although the body still seemed to be very strong, but the temples were already a little gray, obviously after the vicissitudes of the years. Cecil hurriedly went over and asked, "Are you a Knight of Corion, please?" “
