Chapter 15: Promotion to the Guard
"Liar, how could this emaciated yellow pig kill three strong bandits?" ......one of the restless guards questioned loudly, but before he could finish speaking, he saw a white line appear in front of him. Then, his neck was pressed against the tip of the sword!
Cao Zhongsheng stared at him with murderous intent, the coldness of his eyes made people have no doubt that he might burst out to kill in the next second, and the cold blade made the noisy guards calm down instantly, like a duck held down by the neck, silent. No one thought that this lowly yellow man would dare to attack the guards in front of the knights, wouldn't he be afraid of being beheaded?
Of course Cao Zhongsheng was afraid, but he knew that in the face of the current situation, almost everyone was questioning him and not trusting him, so he could only use the means of thunderbolt to quickly prove himself. Otherwise, once they hesitate and cowardly, these people will only talk more and more chaotically, and the more they say, the more true they will be. In the end, the truth will only be completely covered up by chaotic remarks, and Cao Zhongsheng will lose the opportunity to come out, and there is a great possibility that he will even fall into a crisis.
"I swear in the name of His Majesty the God of Light, Redish! What I just said is the truth, I did kill three bandits!" Seeing that the crowd around him began to calm down, and the Adeven knight next to him did not have any obvious reaction to Cao Zhongsheng's action of drawing his sword, Cao Zhongsheng almost did not hesitate to initiate a poisonous oath with the god of light in the Allen World.
The Great World of Allen is a world where the gods are obviously holy, and the power of the gods is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. When any living being recites the deity of a true God, that true God can cast his gaze upon it through the barriers of the world. The greater the power of the gods, the sharper they are when called. So the mortals of Eren have developed a way to test lies, which is to make people swear by the name of God. If it is a lie, it is a blasphemy! The gods will punish God in an instant!
When Cao Zhongsheng said the three words Retis, he instantly had the illusion that he was surrounded by endless white light, but fortunately, the illusion disappeared in the next moment, but he could still vaguely perceive a majestic gaze hanging down from the endless sky and falling on his body.
After Cao Zhongsheng said this, nothing changed for a long time, and there was no divine punishment or anything.
"Could it be that what he said is true?" the thought came to the hearts of the guards, the fact that His Majesty Regis did not send down a divine punishment was enough to prove that what a person said was true or false, and no mortal dared to question the justice of the gods. What's more, the god of light, Regis is not an evil god, and he is also famous among the gods for his justice.
"Well, there is no darkness left under the glory of the crown, and his words have been tested and are obviously true. When the guards were afraid to speak, Adeven broke the silence in the room with a speech: "Brave warrior, tell me your name. ”
"Lord Knight, my name is Cao Zhongsheng. Cao Zhongsheng withdrew the long sword in his hand and bowed his head slightly to Adeven and said his name.
"Cao, sentient beings, Oriental names have always been so strange. Adeven read the three words of Cao Zhongsheng very uncomfortably, and then said to Cao Zhongsheng to return to the team, and began to let the rest of the guards start to report their kill numbers one by one.
One, one, still one. Each of the eight guards except Cao Zhongsheng killed only one bandit, and this comparison made Cao Zhongsheng's record dazzling. Of course, it also attracted a lot of grudges to Cao Zhongsheng. Why is it that a yellow person is better than himself? Many guards are slandering, but they just don't dare to say it in front of Adeven van.
After everyone reported the number of kills, Adeven turned his gaze back to Cao Zhongsheng and asked, "You are not a guard, but you fought bravely to protect the town, what reward do you want, money or food?"
"Lord Knight, I want to be a member of the guards and contribute to the defense of the town!" Cao Zhongsheng said with a "sincere" face that he had thought of in advance.
Cao Zhongsheng is just a serf now, and he belongs to the absolute bottom in Jack's territory, even civilians can bully Cao Zhongzhong, as long as they don't die. This kind of social status puts Cao Zhongsheng in a very dangerous situation, especially now that there is a knight master who wants to kill him at any time. It is imperative to improve one's social status.
The guards have a high status in Jack's territory, Baron Jack's family is the first class, the knights are the second class, then the guards are the third class, and the fourth class is the commoners. It can be said that as long as Cao Zhongsheng can become a guard, it is equivalent to being promoted two levels in a row at once, which is quite good.
When Adeven heard Cao Zhongsheng's words, he began to ponder. He knew that Cao Zhongsheng was a serf, because there were no yellow civilians in the town, only a few yellow serfs, and Cao Zhongsheng was obviously one of them. Let a serf be a guard, I am afraid that someone will slander you behind your back. But Cao Zhongsheng's combat effectiveness is obviously not low, and it is very suitable to become a guard.
After thinking about it for a while, Adeven agreed to Cao Zhongsheng's request: "Yes, you can go to the guard station to report later, register yourself, and then receive a salary of forty copper carats every month." Do a good job! The territory needs a brave young man like you!"
Of course, Cao Zhongsheng was full of promises, and finally got rid of the identity of a serf, and that Caike knight could no longer easily kill himself. Thinking of this, Cao Zhongsheng glanced at Cai Ke with his spare eyes, and found that Cai Ke had a gloomy look on his face, and he didn't seem to be in a good mood. Ha ha.
After the report was completed, Adeven led the two knights back to the town, leaving half of the guards to clean up the battlefield and bring some booty and other things back to the guard station to hand in.
Cao Zhongsheng naturally stayed to pack up his things, and maybe he could touch the corpse to make some money.
However, after staying, Cao Zhongsheng found a total of more than a dozen corpses, and there were more than a dozen guards who stayed, basically one corpse per person. Cao Zhongsheng's face was very dark, and he felt a piece of black bread from the corpse he had assigned, and then there was nothing. Seeing that the people next to him touched out more than a dozen copper carats at every turn, Cao Zhongsheng was a little speechless.
Carat is the currency unit of Allen's great world, which is copper carat, silver carat and gold carat, and the official conversion ratio between each carat is one to one hundred, for example, a gold carat is equal to one hundred and a silver carat is equal to ten thousand copper carats. And one copper carat is enough for the ration of three meals a day for a normal adult man. The guard's salary is forty copper carats a month, which can barely be regarded as petty bourgeoisie in Jack's territory.
