I have to say that although this Mr. Diess is a businessman, he is very hearty and heroic, and after all, he is a merchant in a large harbor city, and he has the heroic style of the Nords of the North Sea. He saw that Su Hao and the others only collected the weapons and equipment dropped by the pirates, and they also subdued the three Swadians with their personal charm, but they didn't ask him for even a copper dinar, and he felt a little uncomfortable, so he immediately asked: "Mr. Su, although you saved us for the sake of the glorious Nord bloodline, I still have to thank you... My thanks should not only be verbal, but also substantive, and I want to thank you very much. ”

Su Hao was by no means a pedantic person, he groaned for a long time, turned his head, and happened to see the cavalry who had broken out of the encirclement and reported the news, and... The strong, tall mountain horse with his head held high.

He smiled and said, "I want that horse, how about it?" ”

"You want it?" Diese looked hesitant, and then said lightly: "Okay, for you." ”

In fact, in his opinion, a good horse like this is quite an eye-catching existence, just like a caravan that originally wanted to act in a low-key manner, but such an excellent war horse appeared in the team, so what would others think? I will definitely want this caravan to do, it must be a big deal! Then the robbers, pirates, ringing horses, green forests and other bandits will definitely target him! I have to say that it is really a miracle that he was able to travel thousands of miles from the territory of Virginia to the territory of Nord, and he was able to retain a certain degree of vitality without losing goods.

Su Hao handed over the mountain horse to Romney, but Romney didn't expect his new boss to be very generous, and he actually handed over a good horse to him like this, and he was a little moved in his heart, and immediately knelt down on one knee and said: "Thank you, my sir!" ”

Su Hao hurriedly helped ♂ him up, and said with a smile: "There is no one in my army who is good at riding, and now that you have joined, it is like a thirsty traveler who has encountered a sweet spring in the desert." I should give you this horse, and it should be a good horse, and it should be driven by a good knight! ”

He pulled Dwight over again and said, "This is a friend I met in the village of the Loire, he is very talented, he is a good piece of iron, but he still needs to be sharpened, I believe that he will be able to become the Nord royal guard in the future, but I don't want him to be limited to the single branch of infantry, so I want you to train him well." ”

When Dwight heard this, he was also slightly stunned, he had a little resentment in his heart towards Su Hao a moment ago, but he didn't expect Su Haojing to have high hopes for him! The unhappiness in my heart disappeared suddenly. He silently walked up to Romney, knelt down on one knee like Swadia etiquette, and said sincerely: "Romney, you are a true warrior, forgive me for my recklessness, I'm sorry!" I am willing to bear the punishment of 10 lashes as the price of my disrespect to you! ”

Romney hurriedly helped him up, looked at his body, then nodded vigorously, calmed down his nervousness, and said, "You are serious, I will definitely train you into an unprecedented Nord Iron Rider in the shortest possible time!" ”

After he finished speaking, the two slowly retreated.

At this time, Su Hao found Dis and asked: "A few days ago, the Kingdom of Virginia made an undeclared war on the Nord Kingdom, and when the two countries were at war, I thought that the entire territory of Nord must be on high alert, and the investigation was strict+, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to enter the nest." ”

Diese smiled and said, "You want to go into the nest?" ”

Su Hao nodded.

Dis said: "That's right, let's stop by the way, before entering the Woche Ze, as long as you temporarily incorporate your team into the name of the Woche Ze Branch of the Nord Chamber of Commerce, you can be exempted from the investigation, after all, I am also a well-known desperate merchant and a big taxpayer, even if it is the Lord of Iaya, I have some extra preferential treatment." I have to say that the policy of encouraging the development of industry and commerce formulated by Ragnar is really very wise, and recently there have been a lot of businessmen going to sea in Woche, and the port throughput is getting bigger and bigger, and the status of our Woche branch in the Nord Chamber of Commerce is also getting higher and higher. ”

He paused, then continued, "Although I can bring you into the city for the time being, there is one more thing that you should consider. ”

Su Hao asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Diess said in a low voice: "Now the northern coastal area of Nord is very chaotic, the pirates, the Virgian forces, the Nord forces, the major chambers of commerce, the mercenary guilds, the thieves' guilds and even spies are all haunted, with the wisdom of King Ragnar, he will definitely make great efforts to exterminate these illegal forces, after all, no lord wants his land to haunt some strange armed forces, at least these forces need to be registered, and they need to be officially recognized in name." And you ......"

He paused and continued: "And you, you have no name, let alone a backstage, if you want to have a private armed force that belongs only to you, I can only say... It's very hard. ”

Su Hao was slightly surprised, he didn't expect this question... It is also said that those illegal forces such as pirates, green forests, ringing horses, and robbers do not need a name, after all, they make a living from raiding, and he needs this position, he does not want to face the pursuit of thousands of Nord infantry, and he does not want to spend these three months only in the wilderness, because his ambition is not limited to the current small army.

"Okay, I need my force to be officially recognized, but how should it work? What do I need to do? ”

Diese said, "I can help you run this business, but it will require you to make a little sacrifice, such as..."

"Like what?"

Dis took out a gold coin, threw it up, and said, "Golden dinar." ”

Su Hao nodded and said, "I will try my best to raise funds, what else?" ”

Dis shook his head and said, "Your army is very small, and this matter is not too difficult to operate, you only need to register with the Mercenary Guild." But that's not the point, your troops aren't going to be limited to just that size, right? With that woman, and the three Swadians, you're 17 in all... The force of 17 people is really not a climate. I think with your ambitions, you're going to expand your army, right? ”

"You're right, huh...... Well, how do I increase my maximum number of legal mercenaries? ”

Diess placed the gold dinar coin flat on top of his palm, revealing the front of the crow emblain of the Nord Kingdom, and whispered, "Add it." ”

"Nord?"

Dis nodded and said: "Serve the Nord Kingdom for three months, and in the next 3 years, you will have at least 100 mercenaries, and according to the strength of the enemy and the intensity of the war, this maximum number will increase, this is the best solution, but again, everything has advantages and disadvantages." ”

Su Hao glanced at him and said lightly: "I will not only face these pirates and robbers who are fighting separately, but also organized, disciplined, elite and generals... Virgia troops? ”

"Hmm."

Su Hao thought for a moment and continued: "Then, what I also want to ask is, if I accumulate enough combat merits, then do I have a chance to be promoted to independence...... Aristocrat? ”

Dis glanced at him with complicated eyes, and he could naturally see a burning desire hidden under Su Hao's calm pupils, that is...

Ambition.

"As long as you have ambition and the ability to match your ambition, then you have the opportunity to obtain a fief, plant your own noble banner, become a vassal of His Highness Ragnar, and even..."

As soon as he lifted his hand, the gold Norddinar coin he held in his fingertips covered the lonely snowy mountain in the distance and the endless snowfields around it.

"Did you see that?" Dis asked, taking the dinar away.

Su Hao looked at the other side from afar, and it seemed that there were no limits to thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting... The magnificent scenery of which the whole country of Navirgia was proud said lightly: "I see it." ”

Dice looked at him deeply and said, "As long as you have the ability to lay down a territory as large as that covered by my coin, then everything within that territory, every grass and tree, every flower and tree, every wild wolf, every people, and even the vast and infinite snow hunting grounds... It's all yours. ”

Su Hao pointed to the snowy peak known as the glory of Virginia and said:

"Including that holy mountain?"

"Including that holy mountain!"

Su Hao smiled faintly, he was not swallowed by the flame of ambition, on the contrary, he suppressed that desire, because he noticed a detail, that is, the large territory covered by the dinar was covered by the cold moonlight reflected on the side of the Nord black crow printed on the gold coin.

He knew very well that even the brilliance of the sacred mountain of Virgia could not compete with the moonlight reflected by the Nord black crow.

He told himself one thing over and over again.

For three months, the mark you have been imprinted on this world is that you are a Nord.
