Chapter 169: Someone Sends Money (1) (1 /4)
Arriving at Riverdale, the carriage stops in front of the Flamingo mercenary group, and Link is surprised to find that Lucy is waiting for her at the door in advance.
This shows the Flamingo Mercenary Regiment's control over Riverdale, yes, very good.
I haven't seen it for more than a month, and the station of the mercenary group has been greatly improved, the original courtyard has been expanded by three times, and the nameplate at the door has also been replaced with pure copper, and a big flamingo is outlined with silver thread, which is very eye-catching. The gate and courtyard wall have also been greatly repaired, the wall is made of huge stones, high and thick, and the gate is divided into two layers, one is a hardwood gate covered with copper nails, and the other is a steel iron fence, which is not only magnificent, but also has excellent defense. The mercenaries who came in and out also wore uniform wolf skin armor, hung around their waists, and the weapons tied to their backs were made of stainless steel, no worse than the militia in River Valley Town.
Well, this is the mercenary group in his mind, and the thousands of gold coins he smashed are not in vain.
Link was very satisfied.
After getting out of the carriage, Link was already full of smiles and boasted, "This is even better than I thought." ”
"It's all the result of burning money, nearly 200 members of the group, and the equipment alone cost 1,000 gold coins." Lucy is also very satisfied with this result, but it is too distressing to spend money, it is really like spending money.
Link laughed: "Gold coins, they only have an effect when they are used, otherwise where they are placed, they will be cold iron lumps." ”
Lucy pouted helplessly, but she knew she couldn't convince Link, and who told him that he would make money, so she could only do her best to help him get it done.
At this time, Lilith and Molly also got out of the carriage, and Link introduced, "This is my mother, Lady Lilith, and this is my sister, Molly. During this time, they lived in the mercenary group. ”
When Lucy heard this, her face suddenly turned solemn, she saluted Lilith and Molly, and then introduced herself: "Madam, eldest lady, I am Lucy, a follower of my lord, and I am a swordsman. ”
Lilith saw that Lucy was dressed in fine blue-black crocodile leather armor, and she was carrying a magic sword with a faint white light on her back, and the whole person was even more heroic, which was completely different from the rude mercenary who smelled of sweat in her imagination, and couldn't help but praise again and again: "Okay, it's really good, this girl is so handsome." ”
Lucy's pores tingle when she listened, since she became a mercenary, when others described her, they were all cold-blooded beauty, ice rose, goblin and the like, this was the first time someone praised her with such a local adjective as handsome, but this was Link's mother, she could only bear it.
Molly is a little timid, without him, Lucy's aura is too strong, and when she stops, it gives people a huge sense of oppression in her heart, she only dares to stand behind Link, secretly looking at this beautiful and charming goblin-like woman.
She is very envious of Lucy, who is strong and autonomous, and looks like this, she is still her brother's right-hand man.
My brother really has a great future, so many people help him, but I can only let him keep it, alas. Molly suddenly felt a little sorry for herself, she was tired of the puppet-like life in the castle.
Here, Link took Lilith and Molly into the mercenary group, along the way, he carefully instructed some matters, Lucy listened attentively, and when he arrived in the meeting hall of the mercenary group, Link also finished explaining, he took out a big money bag and handed it to Lucy, the money bag contained a full 1000 gold coins, which was for his mother and sister.
Lucy took the money bag and seriously assured Link: "Don't worry, my lord, nothing will go wrong, and the daily use of Madame and Miss will be the best!" ”
Link was absolutely relieved of Lucy's ability to do things, and turned around and explained a few words to his mother and eldest sister, nothing more than that he didn't have to worry about him, he would often go to Riverdale to see them and something like that.
After saying a few words and calming the slightly uneasy emotions of the two girls, Link looked slightly solemn and began to talk about the territory.
"Lucy, I have been rewarded by the King, and am now a hereditary baron, and the Field Wilderness to the southeast is already my domain, and it will not be long before I am ready to invest in the construction of my domain. Now, there is some pre-work that needs to be done. ”
Lucy was surprised, and then rejoiced, Link became an official nobleman, so as his follower, wouldn't she have a chance to be promoted to a female knight?
The knight is also a nobleman, she is a peasant girl, and she has the opportunity to become a nobleman, Lucy feels like a dream, and she is more and more glad in her heart to follow Link's choice in the first place.
As for the remote and barren matter of the Field Wilderness, Lucy didn't think about it at all, no matter how barren it is, it is also a territory, and the territory is in a bad situation, so spend effort to build it, didn't their Flamingo mercenary group start building from scratch? As long as there are adults, nothing is impossible!
She immediately said, "My lord, what do you need me to do?" ”
"There is not much work in the early stage, you first send a few experts to draw a map of the Field Wilderness, not only the terrain, but also what thieves there are, what wanted criminals, what forces there are, you have to find out. My goal is simple, that is, to ensure that in the territory, ordinary people do not have to worry about the attack of thieves and robbers, even if they walk at night. ”
"There are no problems, and the map can be drawn in as little as a month." Lucy assures that it's nothing more than an investigative mission, and that mercenaries are the best at it.
Link nodded, "Good." Once the map is complete, the bandits will begin. During this time, you, Ark, and Gridan will need to strengthen the training of the members. ”
Lucy's heart jumped for a moment, she heard what Link meant, this is the rhythm of preparing for the Flamingo Mercenary Group to become the territorial guardians, and when they turn from a civilian organization to an official organization, she will be the commander of the army!
With a pair of sparkling eyes, Lucy straightened up, straightened her already towering chest, and said loudly: "My lord, just look at it, the flamingo is the sword in your hand!" You won't be disappointed. ”
Link nodded, "Okay." Then I'm in a bit of a hurry now, and I want to go back to Donggu College right away, so I won't stay long. ”
After the matter was explained, Link said goodbye to his mother and eldest sister, and then turned around and walked out of the mercenary group, and the third daughter naturally sent him out, and watched him get into the carriage.
The carriage restarted and headed towards the East Valley Academy of Magic.
Lucy watched Link go away, and it wasn't until the carriage was out of sight that she reluctantly withdrew her gaze. Adults are getting busier and busier, always coming in a hurry and leaving in a hurry.
Her gaze fell back on Lilith and Molly, and her mood suddenly improved a lot, and the adults entrusted her mother and sister to her, which shows that the adults have absolute trust in her, and the adults will definitely come back often in the future, which is really good.
Thinking of this, Lucy said softly, "Madam, Miss, please come with me." ”
East Valley School of Magic.
White had already arrived at Verora's Magic Tower, it wasn't his first time at the East Valley Academy of Magic, but it was the most stressful trip he had ever had to be.
Before knocking on the door, he couldn't help but think to himself, "Will someone from another business house get ahead of me?" What should I do if the magician refuses to cooperate? What if the lion opened his mouth? ”
His heart was full of uneasiness.
It's not that he has a bad psychological quality, it's because this cooperation is so important.
This Link magician's enchantment skills are indescribably good, he is a real enchantment master, and the so-called masters on the market who are touted are completely scum compared to him.
What's even more exciting is that these suddenly thrown magic trinkets and a large number of exquisite magic scrolls that appear on the market all have specific magic markings, from which White keenly sniffs a message.
This young magician is rising rapidly, and he is very short of money!
Lack of money means that there will be a large number of enchanted products coming out in the future, if he can successfully take advantage of the situation, then the Green Leaf Merchant Bank will definitely soar into the sky, and its footsteps will definitely rush out of Hot Spring City, and it may even break out of the Norton Kingdom and compete with those giant chambers of commerce in the Southern Business Alliance.
With such a huge opportunity, he can't help but be nervous.
Standing at the door for more than three minutes, White took a deep breath, reluctantly calmed down, and knocked lightly on the door of the magic tower.
'Tuk Tuk', the voice was soft, because White knew that the magic apprentices were all above the top, and they didn't like to be disturbed.
After waiting for about ten seconds, the door opened, and it was opened by a bright little girl, who looked at him curiously and asked, "Are you?" ”
White had seen all kinds of people, but it was the first time he had seen such a beautiful and delicate little girl, and he was stunned for a moment before replying, "White, my name is White." I run a trading house called Green Leaf Trading, and I'm looking for a Link magician. ”
"Looking for my mentor?" The little girl was none other than Lefu, and when she heard this, her brows furrowed, and she shook her head and said, "Mr. White, it's really not the right time for you to come, the mentor is not here." ”
"Ah~" White was suddenly disappointed, and he asked without giving up, "Can you tell me where he went?" ”
The little girl was very vigilant and refused without thinking: "That's not good." ”
The mentor has many opponents, and Aunt Moira has repeatedly instructed her not to tell her whereabouts, especially not to strangers.
White looked at the little girl's determined expression, knowing that he couldn't ask anything, if he was in Hot Spring City, he could still pry the other party's mouth open with gold coins, but in Donggu Academy, he was nothing, this group of magicians were all above the top, and it was very rare for this little girl in front of him to talk to him for so long.
"Alas~" White was a little disappointed and excited, thinking that he had found a big opportunity, but he fell short, this sense of loss is really uncomfortable.
"Thank you." White could only turn around and leave, he was going to wait at the gate of the academy until Link came back, but unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he saw a black-haired young man walking towards him not far in front of him.
At the same time, the surprised voice of the little girl behind him came into his ears: "Mentor, why did you come back so early?" Didn't you say you were going to stay for half a month? ”
The person who came was none other than Link, who had just returned to the academy. (To be continued.) )
