Eddie secretly rejoiced in his heart: He really deserves to be a teacher, he said it sleekly and politely, and the shirk was even more ingenious, who the wants to stay and sell his life.

Immediately, he shook his head and sighed in agreement.

But he heard very bad news from the baron: "Men and armaments and magic equipment, yes! I have temporarily conscripted two hundred and fifty sturdy militiamen, plus the original one hundred and fifty elite guards of the territory, and can be sent by the master when the time comes." Moreover, there are plenty of armor and weapons, and there are a few small and medium-sized [Scattering Magic Cannons] in the treasury of my castle! As for the spell scrolls, there are all kinds of schools, you can choose. ”

Sigrid was also a little anxious, what if she stayed here and worked for nothing, what if she was caught up by the killer from behind?

She immediately interjected: "But we can't stay here forever! Who knows how long those southern barbarians will attack? Besides, the teacher's daily business turnover is more than thousands of gold coins, what if we delay our own affairs? Big deal~ It's a big deal that we will take a detour to the northeast border territory that is not blocked, and we can walk for more than ten days at most." ”

To know.

The average monthly agricultural tax of the average minor nobles for the whole year is only a few hundred gold coins, and even if they are rich, it will not be much, which is determined by the size of the territory, the degree of barrenness, and the output, and Sigrid hopes to imply that the baron needs to hemorrhage, and then dispel the idea of leaving them behind, and let them go.

This time, the baron was more calm, he pretended not to hear Sigride's words, and said: "I have already requested a large number of reinforcements from the nearby Viscount Shelley, and a large number of elite soldiers will arrive here in about ten days at most. I can give you five thousand, eh...... No, I will give you 8,000 gold coins as a reward, as long as you ~~" Before he finished speaking, Master Chen, who was eating and drinking next to him, interrupted him again: "Wait until we see your soldiers tomorrow, and by the way, let's do an emergency defensive drill." If the soldier's combat power is available, we can help you, but the time can be dragged on too long, at most we will have to leave at the end of the month, and ~ the gratuity can not be less. ”

After getting the team led by this high-level wizard, David Lu, who crossed into a rich and handsome baron, was also secretly happy in his heart.

He looked back at the butler and intelligence chief standing next to him, and saw that the other party only nodded secretly, obviously also very much in favor of his master's shrewd and tough methods.

Beside him, the baroness from a political marriage, had a different kind of glint in her eyes.

David Lu raised his glass again.

Time.

It seems that ~ both sides are happy.

......

The next morning, early in the morning, Baron Garcia asked Master Chan and Master Bruno to go and inspect his guard and ordnance stockpile.

Naturally, the others were not interested in this, but the two women, Higrid and Patyusha, were more interested in exploring the secrets and enjoying the scenery near the town, and they set aside the fresh water vapor that had not yet dissipated in the early morning, and walked on the green grass full of red and blue wildflowers, to the edge of a wide blue river on the east side of the outer wall of the town, and stared at the distant snow-capped mountains as the background of the sky.

Around the snow-capped mountains, there is a common sight near the foothills of the high altitudes.

The cold from the mountains creeps over the surrounding villages at night, and then slowly drifts away as the temperature slowly rises in the morning.

Reflecting the rising sun, there seemed to be a faint layer of hazy golden mist on the surface of the lake, like a magical warm blanket that had been put on the creatures with gauzy tail fins in the water last night.

Wait until the wind gets a little stronger.

The mist also slowly flowed downstream along the river, and the scenery on the opposite bank was seen more clearly, and the shadows of the surrounding trees cast dappled silhouettes of sunlight.

Suddenly, the birds will suddenly cross from the branches to another place to feed, and the melodious chirping will dispel the silence around them, and set off the serenity and calm of the town's civilian life.

It can really be said that "the mountains are empty and blue, and the wind is rustling." The ronin did not dare to raise his voice, and listened to the sound of insects crying freely. ”

Higrid remembered how similar she had been to her grandmother's house in the countryside as a child.

Although the farmers have to work hard to tending to their fields early in the day, people still have simple and cheerful smiles on their faces.

Because as long as they don't encounter years of famine, at least they don't have to worry about their future life, the land is their biggest dependence.

With the greed and thirst for land among the nobles and manor owners, many people went into debt due to gambling vices, ceremonies, or serious illnesses, and had to lose the land on which they depended, and became tenants of others with heavier taxes, or were simply driven out of the territory and became vagrants, and went to the city to accept the labor exploitation of the factory owners.

If there were no oppression by the powerful, most people in this world might still be able to live a beautiful and idyllic life?

Hehe, why are you stupid again. Is it possible that there is no exploitation and oppression in this world?

Even if you don't want to make a fortune, will the capitalists and bureaucrats let you go?

They always have all sorts of tricks to make you a landless outcast, and then a numb production tool and minced meat on their knives in their sweatshops, to be slaughtered and cooked into a human soup on their table.

Higrid looked at the calm lake on the surface, and slowly smiled bitterly: Yes! Some people say that as long as you dare to fight, there is always a chance to become a master~ Every year, a large number of young people leave the territory. Either choose to join the army and die in a foreign land, the corpse may be dragged and chewed by a certain jackal, if there is a means to win over his subordinates to make meritorious contributions, and those who are lucky enough not to die on the battlefield several times can also be mixed with a low-level officer. As for going up to the top of the ranks, don't think about it, it's all from people with backgrounds.

According to the unspoken rules in the army, civilians who join the army start from soldiers, and can only become the captain of the squad when they come back from meritorious service in their lives. When the civilians below were promoted, they were already squadron leaders and captains at the same age. There are also people who specially declare merit for him, small achievements are said to be great achievements, and great achievements are said to be miraculous achievements, and he soon rises to become a young man in the army, scolding Fang Yu in the rear, pointing out the country, and there is no need to go to the front line of the battlefield to fight for his life and take risks.

- This is called gilding~

As for those civilian cannon fodder, nine out of ten will not survive the first five years of military life.

Therefore, those who feel that they are unlucky on the battlefield and want to control their own destiny can only roll out and go on their own, some of them will be killed by aliens and magical beasts, bandits and pirates as mercenaries on missions, and even eaten as adult meat dishes and their bones will be lost; others will degenerate into prostitutes and male prostitutes who will make money lying with their legs spread and will be entangled in venereal diseases for the rest of their lives; or they may think that Lao Tzu is just crazy and cool, and turn into bandits, pirates, Gangster minions kidnap and extort protection money, first slowly learn to hack others to death, and then be hacked to death.
