Chapter 82: The Noble Allies Obtained After Dividing the Spoils
There is no doubt that the spatial mirror image of the passage has disappeared, and the entire cave has returned to normal.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"I think we should scavenge for loot before we get out of the cave?" Link said again.
This proposal was immediately strongly approved by the followers, who had fought hard this time, and Link had been stabbed with a sword, and wouldn't it be a big loss if he also gave away the wealth in the cave?
Moreover, Link seemed to be in good spirits at this time, and he didn't feel seriously injured and weak at all, but he was getting more and more energetic, so the worries in Lucy and the others slowly eased, and the rush to go back to treat Link's injuries was not so urgent.
However, Anderson was a little hesitant, he was an orthodox knight of the kingdom, and he was still a little uncomfortable with this kind of behavior of killing people and setting fire to robbing and looting treasures, and when he heard Link's proposal, he hesitated: "This is not big, right?" Maybe we should call the militias. ”
He himself can't let go of the dignity of the nobility.
Link himself is the son of a viscount, and he knows the virtues of the nobility very well, which can be summed up in one sentence: die to save face and suffer guilt!
However, the face is for people to see, and their group fights together, and they can be regarded as comrades-in-arms who share life and death, so there is no need to talk about these external faces.
He persuaded: "General, the militia will do it, and when the time comes, we will divide them." And there are many people, and if it spreads out, others will envy it, and more people will come to get a piece of the pie, and in the end there will not be much left, so it is better for the five of us to share it. ”
Seeing that Andor was about to speak, Link continued: "General, don't refuse yet, I said before that you have a son who is already training, and he will definitely become a knight in the future, and the knight will need armor, horses, and weapons, these are all money, you have to think about it for your son." ”
As soon as he said this, Andusen stopped talking, and Link's words hit his mind.
Yes, don't think about yourself, but always think about your son's future, if there are enough gold, he can even prepare good magic equipment for his son.
Alas, that's it, what is this little face? Getting the gold is the right thing!
"Let's do it!" Anderson was tricked into boarding a pirate ship by Link.
Next, the crowd began to loot everything inside the Syndicate Cave.
Anderson's movements were a little rusty, and he still couldn't let go, but Ark, Lucy, and Gridan were proficient at it, and they unleashed their ability to search for locusts crossing the border, and Anderson was dumbfounded.
During this time, Link was basically resting, and he only did one thing, that is, while everyone was looting the loot, he went to the deepest hall again, and put the black crystal under a pile of rubble into the space pendant.
The others only thought that he was studying elemental golems, and they didn't care.
Half an hour later, the four of them gathered in the first hall of the Syndicate's lair, where the Fear and Curse Magic Circle had been originally arranged, and a hill of loot was placed.
Lucy began to count them one by one.
"Gold coins, 1,400 pieces. 38 stainless steel swords, 30 sets of brand new leather armor, three barrels of 50-year-old Biye wine, and a pair of gold beauty carvings are estimated to be worth more than 3,500 gold coins. ”
Sure enough, the Syndicate is much deeper than the Dark Brotherhood.
3,500 gold coins, even Anduson couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, as a knight of the kingdom, he has a large estate, sells grain every year, and his income is only more than 150 gold coins, this syndicate organization, there is so much money, it is really beyond his imagination.
"What an abominable group of thieves! Looks like I'll have to wipe out some bands of thieves in the future. "Anderson, such an orthodox knight, was tempted by gold coins and quickly learned badly.
After that, there is the distribution, which is naturally by Link, this, Andusen does not have any opinion, along the way, Link is the absolute core, under his command, even the evil god has been repulsed. And this guy is also a peerless fierce man, and Anduson is really convinced of him.
Link thought about it for a moment and said, "There are 5 of us, and the loot is worth around 3,500 gold coins. Take out 3,300 gold coins, the four of us will divide a total of 2,300 gold coins, general, you take 1,000 gold coins. The remaining 200 pieces. 50 are used as Yaksa's pensions, and 150 are distributed to the militia outside, and they can't be let run in vain. General, what do you think of this? ”
Anderson was a little surprised, he was able to get 1000 gold coins, which greatly exceeded his expectations, you know, purely according to the contribution of the battle, Link is the core, Ark is the hardest shield, Lucy and Gridan played a huge role in the elemental golem, and what he did was just find an opportunity to cut the elemental puppet a few swords, there is no risk at all, relaxed and happy.
His knighthood is useless, and Link has Princess Anne behind him.
In his mind, everyone divided it equally, and he was satisfied that he could get more than 600 gold coins.
"Am I sharing too much?" Anderson hesitated, although he didn't mind sharing a lot of money, but this was earned by everyone's desperate efforts, and he was embarrassed to take advantage of it alone.
Fighting together just now, Anduson had already recognized Link and his party as his comrades-in-arms deep down.
"You can't say that." Link waved his hand: "General, it was you who found the Syndicate's lair, and it was your last sword that killed the elemental golem, and besides, you are a knight of the kingdom, and to maintain the dignity of the kingdom, the daily expenses are much greater than ours, and you need this money more than us." If we're friends, take it. ”
When he said this, Link's attitude was very sincere, and the meaning was obvious, what I value is the friendship between us to fight together, gold coins or something, hundreds more or less, it's not a big deal!
When it came to Andusen's heart, he didn't say much: "Okay, I'll take it." ”
In his heart, he secretly remembered Link's favor, and even remembered Link as a person.
"This young magician is not only strong in magic, but also very tenacious, and very good at being a man, and is valued by Princess Anne, and will definitely become a big man in the Norton Kingdom in the future, and I have to get along with him." ’
This is the difference between the aristocracy and the commoners, of course, the nobles also have feelings, but they are more long-term and more interest-oriented. As a nobleman, Anderson is much more shrewd than Ark and others, and after a series of considerations, he resolutely chooses to become Link's ally.
Link was very thoughtful, he took out 200 gold coins from the cash, put them in a bag and handed them to Andusen: "General, let's go out later, those militiamen are distracted, you can take this money, it will be our spoils this time." As for the rest, we went back to Riverdale to quietly distribute. ”
The 200 gold coins were for the militiamen, and although the militiamen must have known that there was more to the Syndicate's lair, they didn't see it, they could only be suspicious, and at most some rumors were spreading, so it didn't matter.
The most feared thing is that if the other party really sees the loot, but does not distribute it, people will be red-eyed, and as soon as the matter here is reported, then they will have more trouble.
Anderson also knew the horror of the human heart, and nodded.
Then, Link pointed his wand at the loot, and the magical light shrouded it, and Link walked over and put things into the spatial pendant one by one under the cover of the magical light.
In doing so, it is natural to cover up the space equipment on his body, not to conceal the existence of the space equipment, but to conceal the specific location of this equipment.
Anderson was no longer surprised at this time, besides, he was already on Link's ship, and the stronger the allies and the more hole cards they had, the better it would be for him.
After tidying up, the group walked out of the syndicate's lair.
Outside the canyon, Anduson announced to the militia: "The lair has been cleared, and I am saddened by the tragic death of Yaksa. However, rest assured, brothers, I will definitely take care of Yaksa's family. This time, we've got some gold from the lair, and I'll take some of it as a death pension for the Yaksa, and the rest as a reward for the brothers! ”
After speaking, Andusen called a deputy militia captain and handed over the money bag: "Matt, you can take this money and divide it among the brothers." ”
This is called Matt's vice-captain when he opens the money bag and sees the golden light, his hand is trembling, he is an ordinary militiaman, and his salary is only 15 gold coins a year, where have I seen so much money, I almost fell to the ground without holding it steadily.
In the end, each militiaman was given almost a gold coin, and everyone was overjoyed.
Of course, there were also people who had doubts, and there were also some rumors, but after all, it didn't work out, and Link and his party made a lot of money with Andusen in a muffled voice, and they swallowed a lot of money so quietly.
When he returned to Riverdale, Link asked the priest to treat him, the magic was indeed magical, during the treatment, Link could see that his wounds were healed, and then there were no traces, and the whole process only took a few minutes.
However, this thing is not enviable, and it is not that there are no magicians who want to study divine arts in the past generations, but after all, this is the realm of gods, and no magician has ever succeeded.
Link then took out the loot and handed it to Ark and the others to deal with, and asked Gridan to quietly send the cash of 1,000 gold coins to Andusen.
Andusen understood and gave Ark and the others a promise that he would sit in Riverdale Town in the future and clear out the bandits in Gwent Forest, and if Link and they needed help in the future, just look for him!
This knight of the kingdom became the first aristocratic ally of the Flamingo mercenary team.
By the time all these chores were taken care of, it was already night.
Link sat at the head of the bed and pulled out the black crystal that had fallen from the elemental golem.
