Chapter 580: Nora's Day (2) The first update
Nora glanced at it and saw that the team that had been selected was basically the strongest in Tevelin. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoThey are generally members of hunting teams that are more than three meters tall and powerful after being "transformed".
Obviously, the work just now was just a façade for selection. Nora had some anticipation in her heart.
A total of twenty-seven Tevelyn were led by soldiers from the outer city into the inner city. At this time, when they raised their heads, they could see the huge Pachar Magic Tower, and at the same time, they were even more amazed by the floating towers floating in the sky around them, especially the central floating tower that was almost clinging to the clouds...
It turns out that the human world outside of Tasman has developed to this point?
Nora's heart was unconsciously filled with awe. Along the way, they saw transport ships shuttling back and forth through the city, and they saw the shimmering light of certain buildings, and even more in the distance, they saw a floating tower draw water from a distance and spray it towards the ground...
Everything in front of her was so pervious to Nora's common sense that when the team finally stopped outside the barracks, she noticed the orc prisoners of war who were being escorted out by a team.
The muscular, tall orcs lined up in an untidy line, one by one, toward the outside of the city to the shouts of human soldiers. Clearly, these high-quality coolies were urgently needed for the construction of towns outside Elson - large areas of cleared woods had freed up huge vacant land, and in addition to cultivating farmland, Roddy had plans to build a new town next to the river in the southeast of the city.
This town will be the first stop for the future "transport ship" out of Elson City, and it will also be the first large-scale comprehensive residential area he built for the dense population in the future!
However, Nora obviously did not understand these things at this time, and she could only judge that these orcs were defeated enemies, because there were always disobedient fellows who were whipped by the soldiers, and these stinky fellows did not have neat clothes on them.
"More than 20,000 orcs tried to attack Elson City a few days ago, and they were captured after their defeat, and this is what happened to Lord Roddy."
Elder Luther, who had arrived here early, spoke up to answer their questions, and at the same time took out a piece of parchment and began to speak according to the charter on it: "All right, all come here." Being chosen here means that you have all been recognized by Lord Roddy as the best warriors in Tevelyn. Your salaries are higher than those left behind, and they are paid about ten to fifteen silver coins a month. ”
"Ah......h
There was a cry of exclamation, Nora had already learned the approximate price of goods yesterday: a silver coin could buy enough food to eat herself for about five days, so that the simple but arduous work of carrying it was enough for a Tevelyn to get enough food, and even double the wealth.
But considering that there are still a hundred lazy and lazy people in the neighborhood who don't want to work, Nora is sure that many people will starve because of this. But this has nothing to do with herself, what she is most concerned about at the moment is what she can do next and what kind of remuneration she has.
"Lord Roddy thinks that those drudgeries are too easy for you, because you have excellent physical fitness and have also cultivated enough fighting skills in the forest." Luther pointed to the school yard of the "barracks" next to him and continued, "So Lord Roddy wants you to join the military forces of Elson City. Here, regardless of whether you are fighting or not, you can have a military salary of at least thirty silver coins every month, and you can have vacations and allowances, and if you participate in battles and make meritorious contributions, it is not a dream to get thousands of silver coins! ”
With that, the team fell silent. The Tevlins looked at each other, but they were all a little confused - there were so many new words in what Luther had just said that they did not quite understand the meaning of "allowance" and "vacation", because many young people were illiterate and did not even understand what "military salary" was.
But they all understand the "silver coins". Knowing that it was possible to get thousands of silver coins, many people's eyes flashed with enthusiasm: if you really make so much money, not only can you eat and drink well, but you can also buy those brightly lit clothes, right? Is there more to buy?
The more people who have survived in a famine environment, the more they feel a sense of crisis. If possible, they would like to make more money and buy a few tons of food to keep at home - not to eat, but to sleep every night with a sense of security.
"As you said beforehand, although you belong to the army of Elson City, you are only loyal to Lord Roddy - and if you encounter a battle, you will be in danger of death, you understand? However, in Elson City, the Lord will do everything in his power to arm you with the most powerful and comprehensive logistics... If you don't want to join, you can opt out and continue moving your cargo. ”
Luther himself didn't really understand what this meant, and he was now completely copying the parchment in his hand. But to his surprise... At present, after a short hesitation, these young Tevelyn who were selected have all decided to join!
"Paying more" is definitely the most tempting reason. But what really made them dare to make decisions in the face of death threats was because of the armament promised by Roddy...
They witnessed the feat of Roddy's cavalry using "charged cavalry" to push the undead heavy cavalry, and also saw the astonishing battle loss ratio of his 100-man team from beginning to end with zero deaths, and even saw Akasha running back and forth on the battlefield to treat the wounded.
Although Roddy never advertised the level of armament of Elson's troops, the fact that he fought his way through the battlefield was more effective than any propaganda slogan - all Teflin had the illusion that if they followed Roddy, they would never have to worry about dying.
Luther saw that everyone was enthusiastically signing up, and his nervous mood calmed down. Although Roddy did not let Luther join the team, he gave him a target: there must be more than twenty Tevelins to join the team, and if there are few, he will be punished, and if he completes, he will be rewarded with 80 silver coins, and each additional one will be rewarded with 50 silver coins.
He was ready to persuade, but he didn't expect these young lads to cooperate so much, and twenty-five people joined except Nora, which meant that he had a lot of money to take - which was almost equivalent to the salary of the Teflin group for several years!
With the reward in front, Luther naturally worked harder than anyone else. He smiled happily and brought the contract to everyone to sign. However, just as Nora was about to press the handprint, Luther put away the contract and said, "Lord Roddy has other tasks for you, and the others will follow this Carter chief into the barracks first, and you must obey orders, understand?" ”
Carter, who had long been an instructor at Elson's Barracks, took over the team, and he didn't care about the language barriers: training a bunch of recruits was too easy for him.
After Carter led the fellows away, Luther led Nora into the Pachar's Magic Tower - he was also dizzy from the complicated stairs and corridors when he entered, but Camila had been waiting here in advance, she glanced at Nora curiously, her eyes swept over the horns of her head and the tail that was always slightly raised, and then raised her hand to signal the two to go upstairs with her.
"The lord of the castle is waiting for you upstairs." (To be continued.) )
