Chapter 114: The Squad (Part II)
When I arrived at a door on the second floor, I first reported to the housekeeper.
As soon as he entered, Sir smiled: "Two, I am very satisfied with your work, so let the warriors in!" β
The study room is actually extremely spacious, with several rows of bookshelves, and the bookshelves are divided into five layers, and the books on them can only be viewed through the escalator, which Fang Xin is extremely interested in.
In this era, although glass was not as expensive as it was two hundred years ago, it was undoubtedly still a fairly expensive commodity, but if the rooms were filled with glass, it was actually quite close to the modern apartment on earth - except for the lack of electrical equipment.
Although one warrior after another came in, it was still quiet in the study, and the warriors did not dare to take a breath in the face of the nobles, for fear of bringing a bad impression - this is a habit in this world for thousands of years, and it has great power.
Sir smiled, but not approachable, with the characteristic demeanor of aristocrats, and with a simple remark from each of them, he told them to step down, and had no opinion on some of them being old or women, which made Ashlyn breathe a sigh of relief at last.
In the end, it was Fang Xin who spoke on behalf of the whole team about some daily arrangements, especially the simple class system.
"In this regard, you are an expert, you can decide, but I am very satisfied, in the future, for the affairs of the team, just give orders, you don't have to go through me, if you disobey the discipline, you can just expel it." Sir said, this ordinary sentence made Fang Xin's power greatly increased.
Sir tilted his head sideways again, and said to Ashlin: "From now on, you will follow Hamblin, I will allow you to have a day off tomorrow, and give you a time to arrange chores, as long as you do it well, I will not treat you badly!" β
After speaking, Jazz waved his hand at Ashlyn and motioned for Ashlin to go out, and Ashlyn took the last person out of the study and closed the door gently.
Fang Xin was also surprised, but he was not afraid at all.
The door was closed, and Sir was more gentle, and said, "Hamblin, you are now the captain of my family's guard, don't be too restrained, sit down and talk to me." β
"Yes, Sir!" After Fang Xin bowed, he sat down to speak.
In the study, Sir took a book and flipped through it, talking to him as he spoke, and gradually, when it came to Hamblin's past, Fang Xin also talked about the past according to his memory, and did not lie at all.
"Eun, it turns out that you moved here when you were your grandfather, so do you know where you lived before?"
"Sir, I'm so sorry, I don't remember saying that." Fang Xin replied that he did not get this information from his memory.
"I see." Sir nodded, pulled the words away again, and then, for some reason, spoke of books.
"You like books?"
"Yes, but books are too expensive." Fang Xin said regretfully.
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, before the new calendar 1315, it was still parchment, and then books were called expensive, and then there was papermaking, and spread to all places, the price of books has been reduced to one-fifth of the original."
"Around the year 1421 of the new calendar, printing began to spread again, and it began to spread everywhere, which reduced the price of books to one-twentieth of the original." Sir said with some emotion.
Fang believes that the popularization of printing and papermaking will make the development of this world rapid.
But I heard Sir say, "If you want to read, come here and get it, my books here are almost the same as a small library." β
"Yes, thank you, sir." The one-sidedness of the Dark Earl, the books are extremely rare, and Fang Xin is very satisfied with this treatment.
After saying a few more words, seeing that the sky was dark, Fang Xin said his final request: "Sir, if we want the mansion to be safe, we still lack a few pieces." β
"Oh, something, tell me about it."
"The first is the hound, although the hounds are very ordinary, but for thieves and assassins, it is very practical, and please ask the lord to consider it, raise a few, as long as there are two in one group, there are two groups, it is enough."
Hearing this, Sir couldn't help but look at him and said, "What else? β
"Also, in the event of an invasion by a strong enemy, we still lack powerful lethal weapons, and the lord can buy a medium crossbow, if it is equipped with a second officer, then the safety is more guaranteed." Fang Xin said.
"En, yes, you go back first, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow." Jazz listened, and said noncommittally.
Fang Xin smiled, this is actually a temptation, now that he has the answer, after leaving, a dark shadow appeared, waking Jazz up, and Jazz glanced at the person, since it was a man in black, hidden in the corner.
This man in black, just hidden in the corner, has a deep and dark feeling.
"Vikaman, it's you who came, what do you think of me as the captain?" Jazz said.
"It's okay to deal with ordinary situations." The other party said coldly.
"Then I'll buy a hound and a crossbow, and the next time I come in, don't be noticed."
"No, as a cultist of the Latent God Silver Leaf, how could I, who is level eleven, be discovered by such a sixth-level warrior, sir, this is your new letter of appointment, issued to you by the headquarters." The other said, handing over a scroll.
Sir took it, felt the faint dark aura on the scroll, and sighed in his heart, five hundred years ago, the God of Light expanded strongly and began to cleanse the pagan religion, and as a result, it almost controlled seventy percent of the continent, but now, with the development of the economy and the spread of culture, the power of the God of Light has been weakened, and the gods have begun to revivenation.
Even so, in the past five hundred years, lurking in the darkness, many divine veins have unconsciously become accustomed to using dark power.
Stopping his thoughts, he began to identify the marks on the scrollβindeed the fluctuations of the water.
The seal ring in Sir Sir gave off a glimmer of light, and then the seal opened, and Sir read, his face couldn't help but change, and asked, "Resident Commissioner?" How so? β
"Sir, this is a new order from the headquarters, and it is said that another force has contacted the headquarters to develop along the coast, and the headquarters has given permission and wants us to cooperate."
"What aspect of power? What are the main aspects? β
"I don't know what method of power, sir, you should also understand that there are too many enemies of the God of Light, and there are also many heretical gods who oppose the God of Light, who knows which one? They want to develop in the coastal thieves' union, so this time I came to cooperate, and by the way, I gave observation. β
"Then we're not involved?"
"Don't get involved, see how they rise, we just have to watch and sell."
When it comes to the thieves' union, many people may still be vague, but when it comes to the mafia organization, everyone understands it, so strictly speaking, the advanced form of the thieves' union is the mafia organization.
Bulust is one of the most prosperous ports along the coast, and it is a thriving and affluent city, and of course an ideal base for the dark Order, which brings together a variety of thieves' guilds, and fighting each other is inevitable.
In the whole city, there are nearly 100 thieves' unions, large and small, dividing the nearby streets and various channels, and some even have a relationship with the town hall and the nobility, so it is not very easy for outsiders to stand out.
Sir hesitated, he was ordered to come, but he didn't want to be here for a long time, he thought about it, sighed, picked up the document and read it carefully, and handed over the last line to his own grange and the assets of the chamber of commerce, which made his face look much better.
Ten small estates and a stake in the local Rollin Chamber of Commerce5.
Small estate, in this world, for the aristocracy, actually refers to a unique land unit, not a noun, a small estate, usually refers to a small estate of 1,000 acres, ten small estates, is 10,000 acres, which is very suitable for their own identity - hereditary knights.
As for the 5 shares of the Rollin Chamber of Commerce, it can bring itself a dividend of 5,000 gold lake every year, which is also quite good.
"Okay, then let's see who can alarm the headquarters this time!" Sir nodded and replied, this answer, of course, was not expected by Vikaman, and said, "As for the question of your original identity, the headquarters has been completed, the important channels have been connected, and the hereditary nobility recognized in the Kingdom of Sampol has been obtained. β
Hearing Vikaman's answer, Sir nodded and said, "That's good, pay tribute to your lord for me." β
Indicates that the conversation has ended.
Vikaman bowed slightly, and vanished into obscurity.
A moment later, the butler reappeared at his side, and Sir sighed a little, saying, "I didn't think I would stay here for long, and then the plans would be disrupted." β
"Sir, do you want to bring Miss and Madame here?"
"No, they are safer in the principality, after all, it is the land of the descendants of water." Sir thought for a moment and said, "Since you want to settle down here, you may want to pay more attention to Hamblin, and when the news comes, show it to me at once." β
