Chapter 004: Moorekin's Donation

In the general territorial defense war, in addition to confirming the drainage canals and the access to clean water, the above and other gaps in the floodgates have been blocked. Defending the gate and town wall should not be overlooked.

"Command Centurion Lenster, to defend the gates and town walls. Ordered Centurion Bethel to patrol the walls of Lorcadan. …… Past experience has taught us that ogre infiltration is always pervasive, and that we cannot afford to relax in the slightest until the crisis of war is over. ”

These directives were given.

Yasuo's mind was on the overall statistics: the size of the army that Lol Cardin improvised was about 4,000 people.

According to Centurion Lancet, most of them, except for a small number of sergeants, were militiamen who had no combat experience and were temporarily conscripted.

"It's a pity that the morale of such a motley army will not be too high. Throwing these uneven personnel into battle is also the most likely to make mistakes. ”

"But...... At the level of defensive warfare, compared to encounters and sieges, etc. Waiting for work at ease and taking advantage of geographical advantages and resource replenishment can make up for the shortcomings of lack of morale. ”

In thirteen years, this is not the first time that Yasuo has experienced a defensive battle in Lol Cardin.

He also knew that in the initial period of the war, the bow and arrow were the most direct and wide-ranging weapons of destruction, and at the same time, in the defense of the city, the most advantageous storage zΓ i.

At this time, on the wooden shelf next to Yasuo's table, there was a very dazzling bow, and an arrow was on the string.

Playing with this bow, you will see that it is in line with the ideal perfect bow from wood to carving. As a thing that has been passed down from the Lord of Loel Cardin family for generations, the value of this bow is naturally not cheap.

Many people may ask, how long does it take to make a bow and arrow?

Many would say a week, ten days at most.

But Yasuo knew very well that a bow like this would cost at least a year, and even better, even three years. The process of making zuΓ² is complex and the materials used are numerous, which is not only a craft, but also an art and an attitude to work.

"Lord Lorkadan, in the name of a personal friend, the guild merchant Morkin has asked to see you."

A message from the guard officer Leon came from the door of the hall, and Yasuo put the delicately carved bow back on the wooden frame.

Morkin, a guild merchant, would often help Yasuo with a small favor. And every time a new building is completed, Moore always prepares a gift in his personal name.

"In the name of a personal friend?" Yasuo's mouth flashed with a hint of helplessness.

In this extraordinary period, Yasuo had little interest in meeting with a guild merchant, especially after personally instructing the treasurer Fair Sr. to knock the other party on a bamboo stick.

However, the shrewd Morkin, in the name of a personal friend, made Yasuo embarrassed to refuse.

To do so would be to lose the grace of a lord.

……………………

As ever, the merchant of the building guild, Morkin, always showed his humility and courtesy.

The bow is the etiquette of a subordinate to a superior. When saluting, take off your hat and hold the center of the front brim with your right hand to remove it. With the right hand down, the body is aligned, in a standing position, the eyes are fixed at the 'superior', and the upper part of the body is tilted forward about 15 degrees, and then the original state is restored.

"Honorable Lord Lorkadan, as an individual and as the head of the guild in this area, I can lend myself and even the guild's belongings and lives to my friend to meet his needs. It's just that it is rare to intercept a totem pole belonging to the town of Agate River and place the honor of others on one's head. ”

From Yasuo's point of view, Moorkin, a merchant from the Ancient Architectural Guild, is not a native of the Ancient Kingdom. And the appearance characteristics are not the black and yellow skin color of the ancient people, but the unique golden and white skin color of the Japanese people, and at the same time, he also has a pair of light blue eyes.

A Japanese from the middle of the Sunny Plains was able to climb to the position of branch manager in the building guild of the ancient country, and was in charge of the area of Duanmu City and the five major towns. It can be seen that Moore King is a businessman with a shrewd mind and knows how to respect a degree.

Understatement of respect is a kind of hypocritical expression, which makes people disgusted.

And exaggerating the respect of the facts is like a slap on the back, which is disgusting. Only by being impartial and equal is the most appropriate respect.

At this point, Moore King has mastered his balance extremely well.

Yasuo responded to Moore King with a nod.

In ancient countries, nodding was an acknowledgment of a subordinate, or the etiquette of a peer or peer, and it was most appropriate to deal with Morkin.

"Morkin, I know that totem poles are a resource of honor that can only be obtained by lords and nobles with the approval of the king. It should also be known that every upright person, whether it is a nobleman, a commoner, or a guild merchant, should uphold the contract laws of the kingdom and his own dignity. However, as a lord of royal blood, in times of war, he has the right to requisition the personnel and supplies of any guild caravan in the territory. I believe that you should also know very well about this. ”

If it was just this kind of Cheng dΓΉ's answer, Yasuo could find more reasons and excuses to shut Morkin's 'questioning' mouth.

But Yasuo believed that Moore King, such a brilliant businessman, would not and should not be so pedantic.

Moore King chose to meet at this time, and Yasuo believed that it was not for the sake of saying these flashy and untruthful official words.

In an area, there are many merchants of various guilds such as building guilds, foundry guilds, textile guilds, liquor guilds, etc. Without one or two reliable lord friends, it would be a real headache. In particular, the lord of Duanmu City, Marquis Walter, is himself an opportunistic and dishonest despicable. Therefore, he was not treated well by the guild merchants at all.

"Lord Lol Cardin, you are right to say this very much in line with the contract laws of the ancient country. In the midst of ogres, I will fulfill this obligation. It's just that there is an inside story about this totem pole that no one else knows, and a treasure of even greater value has come to Lol Cardin, and your sergeant has not noticed it......"

Really. Morkin made a big turn in his attitude, but when he was about to say the important part, he closed his mouth very 'inappropriately'.

But Yasuo seems to have expected this for a long time. So in terms of expression, he didn't show the slightest annoyance.

First of all, Moore King was a merchant, and any merchant always sought a suitable price for the 'goods' he sold.

Yasuo understands this very well and wants the other party to do the same.

Because, a businessman, if he has a benefit for you, but he asks for nothing else, then it seems weird and worthy of scrutiny.

"The battle of the Five Armies has destroyed the four major towns one after another, leaving only Loel Cardin alone. The Solar Plains, on the other hand, has been the territory of humans since the last era, and it is believed that ogres will not last. Whether south or north of Lorkadan, I will grant you a village as a private domain. And what you have to do, in addition to giving up your identity as a guild merchant, also needs to be loyal to Loel Cardin. ”

Yasuo's price is very rich.

This made Morkin unable to even suppress his excitement, and even the faint numbness on that square face glowed red, and he couldn't wait to get down on one knee, as if the hope in his heart had finally been fulfilled, "Praise you, generous Lord Lorcardin." Lore Cardin was a great and glorious surname, and Moorkin was willing to spend his life serving it. ”

A lord of a large town with the authority to expand the territory of two villages. And it is prefixed with Lol Cardin to name the village.

An outsider like Morkin from another kingdom can become a small branch manager in the border area of the ancient country, and it can be said that his personal prospects have come to an end.

"The great Lord of Lorcadan. Now that Baron Abraham, Lord of Agate River, has paid the gold coins, I have the right to donate this totem pole to Lorcadine for free, as the head of the building guild in this area. At the same time, I will also donate 3ooo gold coins in my personal name to the town of Lohr Cardin. ”

In Moorkin's mind, Yasuo was a lord with integrity, royal blood, and great potential.

His personal charm, as well as his wisdom and talent, were noticed by Moore King early on, and then gradually developed into a deep impression over time.

Of course, this is also the source of confidence for him to abandon his identity as the head of the Chamber of Commerce, donate gold coins, and seek personal exhibitions.

An investor, Morkin believes that his future will not be limited to the territory of a village.

As for the honor of the knight, although it is not a real nobleman. Owning a village would also be a great place to start.

Because, being able to own a territory is also an extremely luxurious thing for many small nobles such as viscounts and barons who have no territory and only have titles. Not to mention for Moorkin, a guild merchant who had only some wealth, but no noble titles.
