ps: First of all, let me state that intelligence does not mean wisdom, resourcefulness, intelligence is just a kind of "attribute point" for mages to improve their strength, maybe mages are inherently "smarter" than other professions, but not absolutely. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Me?"

Maxi looked at the alien with an expression, who was he from a small country place?

But no, if you are a person from a small place in the countryside, you can't have such advanced insight.

"Introduce yourself formally."

"Maxi is currently the chief staff member of the city lord of Whitehorse City."

Staff members, generally referred to staff officers and secretaries, whose main duties are to provide advice to employers and solve problems.

In the endless world, most of the people who are generally appointed as staff members are mages, of course, the old man in front of him has nothing to do with mages, in Yang Ming's eyes, he is definitely an assassin, and his strength is not low.

You can see a thing or two from his stealth skills alone.

"What else did Maxi seem to have said just now?

"Chief?"

As the guardian of a large city, the lord of Hakuba has the right to recruit private army staff, in order to better protect the surrounding subjects.

There are not a few staff members of the city lord of White Horse City, according to rumors, there seem to be dozens, and Maxi can stand out and become the "chief", which shows that his resourcefulness is not low.

Promised Maxi that Yang Ming could be said to have ascended to the sky in White Horse City, only lower than a few people, as for people like Bacto, they usually need to look at Yang Ming's face to act.

"I beg your pardon for refusing." Yang Ming didn't think about it carefully, and directly refused.

Yang Ming thinks that he is not a very smart person, but he has experienced a lot in his previous life, the so-called "eat more salt than you eat", not to mention the world's first-class smart people, but also not stupid, Yang Ming does not think that Maxi has the ability to teach himself.

That's right, Yang Ming has Yang Ming's pride and reserve, and he is not a person who will easily bow his head and admit that he is inferior to others.

This is also something he has long known that can be solved as long as he gives Bacto some money, but he didn't do it, not because of lack of money, but because of the pride in his heart that prompted Yang Ming to do so.

If you are afraid of even a small person who bullies the weak and is afraid of the hard, and goes to flatter, then you have lived this life in vain.

After speaking, Yang Ming left directly, without hesitation, and walked crisply, cleanly.

The wind was blowing.

Maxi stood at the gate of Whitehorse City, feeling that it was so cold.

Young people nowadays......

In the end, Maxi could only sigh with emotion.

Thinking about it a few days ago, an old friend sent his grandson to him with a dead face, and he had to let himself be accepted as an apprentice, and then look at Augustine, he took the initiative to accept him as an apprentice, this is the gap.

When he thought of the apprentice who was forcibly stuffed at home, Maxi was angry in his heart.

It was a piece of mud.

Back at the residence, Erwin greeted him with a smile on his face, poured tea and handed over a towel to him, and then came to Maxi to rub his legs and pinch his shoulders, serving him properly.

Usually, Maxi readily accepts it, but when he compares it to Augustine today, he feels that he is simply a piece of mud.

"Did your grandfather send you here to take care of my diet?"

"These have their own subordinates to serve, have you copied the history of the Imperial War that I asked you to copy?" Maxi scolded, causing Erwin's legs to go limp and he almost fell to the ground.

Thinking of Augustine's words, the entire empire is decaying, everyone is for himself, looking at Erwin, it is simply a piece of mud, how can such a person take on the heavy responsibility of saving the empire?

"Teacher, I'm ......" Erwen's face was hundred, and he couldn't speak.

Maxi rubbed his temples wearily and waved his hand for Erwin to go down.

"Come on, lift Augustine's restraining order, and reward a thousand points for meritorious service."

"By the way, collect all the information about Augustine, the more detailed the better." Maxi gave the order, and the guards began to move.

"And no one is to come in without my command."

After finishing speaking, the old man came to the door and looked outside for a while, and then the space ring flashed, and two fragrant roast chickens appeared.

"Old man, I haven't eaten you in a long time." Maxi salivates and splashes.

White Horse City is besieged, food is scarce, roast chickens are almost extinct, and it is rare that the old man can still find two.

If Yang Ming was here, the first feeling was that this old man was "unreliable".

When Yang Ming returned to the settlement of the townspeople of Iron Mine Town, Kelly and the others looked worried.

Yang Ming went out for no reason, would he be treated as a spy "executed on the spot", but when Yang Ming came back, he saw the two soldiers guarding them with smiles on their faces, and they didn't stop him, as for "killing on the spot", it was even more of a joke.

"Augustine, this is your nameplate, and you will be placed under the command of Maxi Maxi and for your outstanding contributions, Maxi hereby rewards you with a thousand meritorious deeds." The herald handed Yang Ming a token indicating Yang Ming's identity, and after imprinting Yang Ming's mark, Yang Ming found that there were still a thousand contribution points inside, which could be exchanged for most items in White Horse City, even alchemy warriors.

Of course, one spearman needs a hundred points of contribution, which means that Yang Ming worked hard all night and got almost ten spearmen.

"Boss, what's going on?"

"yes, it's strange to see how respectful those guards look at you." Kelly and the others surrounded Yang Ming one after another, looking curious.

The three peony people in the distance also pricked up their ears and listened compassionately.

Yang Ming's differential treatment gave them hope of "regaining their freedom". Yang Ming briefly told what happened at night, so that the people who would get up early tomorrow were shocked.

They were all asleep, only Augustine took precautions, stayed awake all night, and waited quietly for the arrival of his prey with suspicion.

Being the boss is different. Finally, I woke up early tomorrow and felt so emotional.

"How many of them?" Yang Ming pointed at Kelly and the others and looked at the herald: "These are equivalent to my warriors, can you let go of their freedom?" ”

Yang Yangming gave everyone a chance.

The advent of the great era is both a crisis and an opportunity, just like White Horse City, besieged by the Star and Moon Kingdom, all kinds of treasures that are usually rare have been born, and even alchemy warriors can be exchanged for contribution points.

White Horse City doesn't want those towns in Iron Ore Town, where those in power announce their private pockets and sell alchemy warriors to fill their pockets.

As a main city, White Horse City has everything from the lowest-level alchemy farmers to cavalry knights, and as long as you have enough contribution points, you can even exchange them for sixth-order cavalry.

However, the contribution value is simply astronomical, and it is certainly not a thousand contributions.

Alchemy farmers may be the five scum of war, but as the main, lowest, and most irreplaceable existence of the human race, their value is more precious than a spearman, and on the black market, an alchemy farmer is comparable to a third-order griffin.

Because as long as you get them, they will contribute one gold coin to you every day, and if you evolve into a rich peasant, you will get more gold coins every day, and they will also work and produce food.

The so-called army goes first without grain and grass, and without grain and grass, it is difficult for no matter how powerful the force is, to attack and expand the territory.

Of course, Yang Ming has no territory now, and the alchemy farmer is a chicken rib for Yang Ming, so don't think about it for the time being.

If Kelly and the others regain their freedom, they may be able to meet their own encounters.

Or a hidden profession, or a buried weapon, or a noble person to help...... Who knows.

"Nope." The herald replied hard, and when he saw that Yang Ming had finished receiving it, he left without looking back. Yang Ming was helpless, and it was worth going to exchange for five archers first.

Ranged attacks are Yang Ming's weakness.

Yang Ming was unrestricted, and the alchemy spearmen and dark elements were also released from the restrictions as soldiers under Yang Ming's command, and they were able to follow Yang Ming's actions, of course, they usually needed to be placed in the barracks, otherwise they would be taken to the street and would be regarded as rebels.

Both the spearmen and the dark element are melee types, and with the addition of five archers, they barely make up for the shortcomings.

Just as Yang Ming returned to the camp with the archers, a hurried bell rang.

The Star and Moon Kingdom waited for a long time for the city gate to open, and the female night thief estimated that she had brought back bad news, so they finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to storm White Horse City again.
