Chapter 551: Departure (6400 monthly ticket supplement last month)
"I can do this because I represent the law!"
Feder triumphantly announced, "Looks like you don't have enough money, come on!" ”
"Wait!"
Wu Ming touched his nose and walked out. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Oh? It turned out to be William Jr.? ”
Fidpi smiled and said, "Are you going to take over Lady Roya's debts?" ”
In all fairness, William and Loa were originally the lower echelons of the people, but William had been on the battlefield once and had weapons! Exercise regularly!
This means that he is in a hurry, and he dares to splatter five steps with Field's blood!
Not to mention, this person has a good relationship with Instructor Rorian, and I heard that the other party is giving him an opportunity to move forward.
With this, even though his actual status has not been improved, Fei De still can't help but glance at Wu Ming slightly.
"Not bad!"
Wu Ming took a deep breath.
This is not an impulse, but a repayment of the other party's karma for more than ten years on this body.
Anyway, just this once, and then it's the sea and the sky.
"Very good, five Jindron and seven silver thalers!"
Fei De smiled, "Please take it out!" ”
"I need a little time!"
Wu Ming said angrily.
"That's unfortunate!" Fidel shook his head, and the two soldiers next to him stepped forward silently.
"It's not my business, it's Knight Thakur's, and I'm going to follow him on the wasteland together!"
Wu Ming unceremoniously pulled up Thakur's tiger skin.
"Lord Thakurt?"
Fei De raised his eyebrows, when did this young little guy get involved with the knight again?
But it's such an easy thing to debunk, and he shouldn't be able to lie.
"I'll go check it out, and if that's the case, the repayment date can be delayed until the day you return!"
Anyone knows that traveling to the wasteland and conquering the barbarians is a journey full of dangers and opportunities, and if you don't die, most of those who survive will be sent a fortune.
Feder folded his hands behind his back, glanced at Sophia with some regret, and turned to leave.
"Oh! Thank you, William! Thank you! ”
Aunt Luo Ya grabbed Wu Ming's arm, not knowing how to thank her, and Sophia next to her also stopped crying, her face flushed.
"This is what I should do!"
Wu Ming replied with a smile, and said silently in his heart: "For the deceased William! ’
Ignoring Aunt Roya's retention, he turned around and left, not taking a cloud with him.
"Five Jindron?"
After returning to the wooden house, Wu Ming thought silently.
Although this is not a small amount, it is not impossible for him to take it now, but if he really wants to do this, it will be over immediately.
Because the origin of this money is not clear, and it is more related to his secret.
Moreover, the amount is huge enough to attract the eyes of the sheriff and the tax collector, to the point of ignoring Rorian!
"Therefore, even if the debt can be paid immediately, it must wait until after the expropriation action......"
Wu Ming is confident that he will definitely gain a lot in this operation, and his identity and status will be different at that time.
In fact, Aunt Luoya's kindness to William can be sent away with a sum of money, which is really an extremely advantageous thing.
……
Three days later, at the gate of the town, a wave of fifty soldiers was getting ready to go.
Thirty of them were regular soldiers, and their every move had a formal and sophisticated flavor, and they were relatively well-equipped.
The other wave of twenty people is very scattered, although the physique is very strong, but the weapons are varied, not even a piece of iron armor, it looks like a messy mercenary group.
"Really...... Quite a few people! ”
Wu Ming looked around and saw many familiar faces.
"Hi William!"
A brown-haired young man, dressed in thick linen, carrying a round shield in his right hand and a short axe in his left hand, with sharp edges braving the cold light.
"Joey!"
Wu Ming recognized that this was the elder brother of the young Ava who often watched him practice swordsmanship with envy, and I have to say that the two of them looked really alike.
"Thank you for taking care of my brother all the time......"
Joey first politely said a few polite words, and then looked around: "There are so many people......
"yes...... Even Uncle Andrew is here! ”
Wu Ming looked at a middle-aged man next to him who was missing an ear and had an oblique scar on his face, and was a little speechless.
This Andrew heard that he used to be a guard of the city lord's mansion, and was seriously injured in a battle with the wild people, so he lay in bed for a month, and lost an ear forever, this series of blows, coupled with his advanced age, he retired, and he should be in his forties at this time.
A warrior is a profession that eats the rice of youth, and at his age, both explosiveness and energy are far inferior to those of young people, and it is not suitable to go to the battlefield again.
But now, I still have no choice but to give it a go.
"Damn Fidel!"
Joey cursed, and it was clear that neither he nor Andrew were willing to go to the wilderness to fight the savage cannibals.
But to make ends meet, you have to do that.
Ten coppers a day is nothing, the most important thing is to participate in the distribution of the spoils! If you can seize the opportunity, you can make a big deal!
"Did you hear that?"
At this time, Joey quietly approached Wu Ming and said in his ear in a low voice: "The reason why Lord Baron decided to send troops this time is because he received a piece of information and found a gathering place for wild people!" ”
Savages are not all cannibals.
The gathering place that Joey is talking about is apparently a collective of farmers and slaves who have escaped taxes and slavery, who have the craft, can farm, and understand the lingua franca, but who have evaded their sacred duty, and according to the laws of the mainland, whoever is caught can be sold into slavery.
In the market, a slave in his prime, free of disability and disease, usually sells for between one and two kindrons.
If he is very good at farming, the price can be increased by one Jindelong, and if he adds another craft, he will become a high-level slave, and the treatment is no worse than that of ordinary farmers.
Although the team's spoils are distributed according to merit, if you are lucky enough, it is indeed possible to achieve more than five Jindelon harvests.
"Ritsu!"
At this time, several horses appeared in front of the town.
"It's all here, it's good!"
The knight of Thakur wore only light inner armor, and the rest of the armor was carried on another horse, followed by several knightly attendants.
The equipment of these squires is better than that of the soldiers, and in fact, the experienced ones among them are almost enough to reach the threshold of strength for canonized knights.
Unfortunately, the limitations of merit and mining have firmly nailed them to the profession of squire.
If there was no big war, the basic knight squires would not have a chance to be promoted in their lives, but this time, because of the victory, Viscount Garcia canonized a group of knights, attracting the allegiance of more wandering knight squires.
"The knight squire of this era is not easy to be......"
Wu Ming paid attention to the two knight attendants behind Thakur, but he didn't find any trace of extraordinary power, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
As a knight's squire, you not only have to learn combat skills and horsemanship, but also take care of horses, and even learn some simple blacksmithing methods to repair armor in the field.
But Wu Ming didn't perceive any information about the supernatural power from these two people.
"Could it be that there is no canonization ceremony, the prayers and holy oil of the Whistling Castle ......"
He thought of the key: "The church?!" ”
In William's memory, the church is the church, there is no difference between light and darkness, and even in the town, there is not a decent church, obviously the church here is very restricted, but it also has some great secret skills, that is, I don't know what agreement has been reached with the nobles.
"Quiet! Line up! ”
The two knightly squires shouted loudly, and soon the professional soldiers were lined up according to their usual training.
In comparison, Wu Ming's wave of more than 20 militia or mercenaries is quite amateurish.
Takur looked at this scene, frowned very dissatisfied, and then pointed at Wu Ming with a horsewhip: "William! You serve as the temporary captain of this militia! Shut them up for me! I'll give you time for breakfast and go as soon as possible! ”
Obviously, this was Rorian's recommendation, and the effect of the last interview was good.
"What? Jean William? ”
Obviously, even though Wu Ming has changed in the past few months, his previous image is still very conspicuous, and there was an immediate uproar in the crowd.
Only Joey made a gesture of encouragement.
As for the two knight attendants, they cast a playful look, and immediately went to the side to dine with the knight master.
"Ahem!"
Wu Ming looked at the team members with different expressions in front of him, and said loudly: "I'm William!" It doesn't matter if any of you know me or not, the most important thing is to follow my orders when you leave! ”
"Haha!"
There was a burst of laughter from the crowd: "Little guy, let's go home and eat milk obediently!" ”
A yin and yang voice came.
Wu Ming's eyes narrowed, and his whole person moved like the wind.
Syllable!
He rushed ferociously into the crowd, flicked the hilt of his sword, and struck the man on the cheek who had just spoken.
The unfortunate man screamed and fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of bloody teeth.
"I'll tell you now why I can be captain! for I am stronger than every one of you!! ”
Wu Ming looked around, walked to the center of the field, and untied his long sword: "Now, I will give you a chance, whoever thinks he can be stronger than me, come up and defeat me!" I'll give you the captain! ”
"I obey you, sir!"
Joey cheered loudly for Wu Ming and walked behind Wu Ming.
The second candidate was a little unexpected, it turned out to be Andrew!
He silently raised his long sword, walked behind Wu Ming, and expressed his support with his actions.
After all, although the others are old, their eyesight is still there, and the speed that Wu Ming showed just now, as well as the strength to shoot, is already the class of elite soldiers, and he is not even under the knight's squire.
