Chapter 154: Profiteers

If it weren't for the sincere gaze of Lena Imbas, Song Zheng would have mistakenly thought that she was a time-traveler like himself.

However, the name Scarlet Crusader is actually good, but the Scarlet Crusader in the history of Warcraft has a more tragic ending.

"Alright, let's change it to the Scarlet Crusader as you said, and hopefully it can play a role in the fight against the undead scourge." Song Zheng sighed slightly, now that the undead disaster has risen, he just doesn't know if the fate of Bridget and Sally Whitemayne and others will change.

Of course, the first thing to do now is to quell all kinds of rumors in the city, which is a promise made by Song Zheng in front of Uther.

This should be a propaganda war on Earth, and it is a very easy thing for adventurers, who are already good at it.

With the guild organized, these adventurers wandered from tavern to tavern, and not only quickly quelled the rumors, but even spread a lot of official information, and soon calmed down the situation in the city.

This made Song Zheng gain a lot of praise in front of Uther, but Song Zheng also found himself facing another problem...... He's running out of gold!

Although he still had a lot of land deeds in his hands, with the rise of the Scourge of the Dead, the land and farms on Stratholme's side almost immediately lost their value, and the price of land in other areas fell rapidly.

Almost every major war leads to the redistribution of land, so in times of war, only gold and supplies are the most valuable.

"I knew that I should have ......sold them all at a low price," Song Zheng sighed secretly, because there were too many land deeds in his hands at the beginning, in order to avoid being suspected, he could only sell those land deeds slowly, which led to most of the remaining ones.

Although the 'stealing' skill can directly get gold, it can only be used once a day, which can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket.

"We have to find some financial resources for this guild."

Song Zheng is well aware of the importance of the economy, even in the game, if you want to maintain a large guild of thousands of people, you have to consume a lot of gold coins.

However, Lordaeron is currently facing a crisis of destruction, and it is almost impossible to get financial assistance from the government, so he has to find a way to make money on his own.

After studying the current situation, Song Zheng quickly formulated a new plan.

Adventurers used to survive by taking on various tasks, but now when they are organized, they can also take on tasks.

Song Zheng soon rented a storefront in the bustling streets of the city, officially posted propaganda advertisements for the Scarlet Crusaders, undertook various tasks in the name of the guild, and even sent people who were good at talking to take the initiative to go to those nobles to sell various services, such as the security of the manor, the escort of personnel travel, etc.

In this chaotic time, these security services were indeed very popular, and with the news of the fall of Stratholme, many nobles began to quietly seek a way out, even leaving Andorhar.

In the face of war, everyone must still think that King Lordaeron is safer, in fact, in the history of Warcraft, if it were not for the fall of Arthas, perhaps King Lordaeron would indeed be the safest place in Lordaeron.

In this way, the various services proposed by Song Zheng were immediately sought after by the nobles, not to mention that he now also had the title of baron, and even had the support of Uther, which undoubtedly gave him a great advantage.

In just one day, hundreds of missions have been received, so that there are not enough personnel, which is far from the efficiency of ordinary scattered small teams of adventurers waiting for tasks in a tavern.

Lina Imbas, who has been following Song Zheng's side, looked at the large number of tasks and contracts, and her eyes lit up.

"I didn't expect this to be a good way to make money, why don't we recruit some more people? This time, I'm here to select the talent myself! Lena Imbas said excitedly.

Song Zheng immediately shook his head and said with a smile: "No, it is difficult to manage by recruiting too many people, from now on we will only recruit elites whose strength is above the fifth level, as for those redundant tasks, we can take them out for other adventurers to complete, we only need to collect some intermediary fees from them." ”

"Brokerage fees? Oh...... You're a profiteer, but I like it! It's just that it's enough to just charge a little intermediary fee, and you have to share it with those adventurers, so I'll calculate how high the sharing fee those adventurers can afford. "Lena Imbas, whose eyes seem to be full of gold coins, does not look like a noble mage at all at this moment, but more like a petty wealth fan.

"Now we don't have to worry too much about making money, the most important thing is to publicize the name of our guild, so that more adventurers can be attached to us, and when the time comes, we can just post a task to do anything, and we don't need to complete it in person." Song Zheng said.

Forming a behind-the-scenes organization that can control all adventurers in the human kingdom is Song Zheng's real purpose, after all, if you want to survive in this crisis-ridden world, you need to constantly improve your strength, and the so-called strength is not only your own combat power, but also the power in your hands is also very important.

"This is a good idea, you can make good use of the power of those adventurers, if you can effectively organize the adventurers on the continent, its combat effectiveness is probably no worse than the regular armies of various kingdoms."

A voice suddenly came from behind him, but it startled Song Zheng.

When he looked back, he found that Gianna had come behind him at some point, but at this moment Gianna looked tired, and could even be said to be haggard.

"Your Royal Highness, Princess, why are you here? I've just discussed theoretically how to organize those adventurers, and it's still very difficult to really realize it, so I wonder what progress Your Highness has made in researching the plague? Song Zheng smiled and quickly diverted the topic.

After mentioning the plague, Gianna's eyebrows immediately frowned, and said in distress: "There is no progress, except for the use of flames to burn, there is no other way to clear the plague, even the power of the Holy Light cannot cure the infected, the only thing to be thankful for is that the plague can only be spread through food, which allows us to have a way to isolate and prevent it." ”

"Can you only use flames to clear ......" Song Zheng frowned slightly.

In the history of Warcraft, Arthas did burn Stratholme after slaughtering Stratholme, and even the dragons could only use scorching dragon's breath to clean up when facing those plagues.
