Chapter 58: The Oath
On this day, Rocky did an extremely dangerous thing, which was far more dangerous than hunting demons, and also surpassed all the tasks of the Mercenary Guild, that is, he told Erin and Monte the secret of the magic rune!
His approach can be said to have surprised everyone, even Erin and Monte didn't expect to hear such exciting news, and this approach is also extremely dangerous, because as long as one of the two of them leaks everything they hear, then the fate of Rocky and Thunderhawk City can only be described in three words: dead!
But again, this approach makes sense, because Rocky needs his own team!
Only after having his own team can he let go of his hands and feet to develop and become stronger, and the team he chose is Lilia, Erin, and Monte.
Needless to say, Rocky has absolute trust in Lilia, so there is no need to say more, and for Erin and Monte, after this period of contact, Rocky also thinks that they can be trusted.
This is precisely his boldness, because in Rocky's eyes, although Erin and Monte can be trusted, they are not to the level of absolute trust that Lilia has.
But he still told the two of them his biggest secret, because Rocky knew one thing: being overly guarded was tantamount to unwarranted suspicion, and once he was caught in this endless loop, there was no one to trust.
In this case, he plans to gamble, he bets that he didn't misread these two people, and he bet that his trust was not given to the wrong person!
............
............
The research room became very quiet at some point, and Rocky didn't continue to speak after he finished speaking, he just looked at Erin and Monte, as if waiting for the two of them to digest what they had heard.
In fact, Erin and Monte did need time to digest everything in their minds, and with their intelligence and experience, they already understood what Rocky meant by the time he said what he had just said.
But this is something they have to think about carefully, because once they make a choice, then this choice may affect their lives, so neither of them spoke immediately, and both fell into silence.
Time passed like this, and after more than ten minutes, Monte took the lead in making a choice, only to see him glance at Rocky, and then slowly knelt down on one knee in front of Rocky!
"Lord of the City, the orc Monte swears allegiance to you, I will be a spear in your hand, or a shield in your hand, I will follow you and never betray!"
Monte the Orc, swear allegiance to Rocky!
And when he took the oath, Erin also made a choice, only to see her kneel on one knee in front of Rocky like Monte, and at the same time said her oath: "Lord of the city, Erin is willing to swear allegiance to you, your ambition is my goal, your dream is my wish, I am willing to follow you and never give up." ”
Erin, swear allegiance to Rocky!
"Lord of the City, Lilia has sworn allegiance to you, I will always be by your side, I will always follow in your footsteps, never stop. ”
After Erin and Monte swore allegiance to Rocky, Lilia also knelt down in front of him and said her vow.
At this point, Lilia, Irene, and Monte all swore an oath to Rocky, and the bravest, most shrewd, and most loyal triumvirate under the command of the Lord of Runes was born.
At the same time, the triumvirate would not know that many years from now, the oath they call today will be called the oath of spear and shield, the oath of heart and wish, and the oath of eternity, and will spread to every corner of the sky and become the norm for all to take the oath.
Of course, these are many years away, and not to mention the three of them now, even Rocky, who will be known as the Lord of Runes in later generations, doesn't know what their future holds.
Now Rocky is just simply happy, very happy!
So he then helped all the three people kneeling in front of him to their feet, and gave the three of them a hug from the city lord.
"Alright, let's get down to business now. ”
After giving each of the three a big hug, Rocky opened up his conversation.
He actually had a lot of ideas for the future, including Thunderhawk City, how they were going to survive in the sky, and even magic runes, in short, Rocky had a lot of ideas.
But before that, he could only talk to Lilia alone, but she specializes in art, and although Lilia has a heart for Rocky, she is not good at some things after all, so it is difficult to help Rocky.
But now, Rocky has not only Lilia by his side, but also Erin and Monte, and he can share many of his thoughts with them.
Therefore, after that, the four of them had an open and honest conversation in the research room, without any concealment and scheming, from the day to the night, and the things they talked about included all aspects, some can be achieved in the near future, and there are long-term goals, in short, they talked a lot.
After this conversation, Rocky became clearer about what he was going to do next, what he was going to do, and his relationship with Erin and Monte became countless times closer because of this conversation.
So when the next day came, Thunder Eagle City didn't seem to have changed, but in fact, changes were happening quietly, such as a new instructor in the Guards.
This instructor is naturally Monte.
In fact, Rocky's idea is for Monte to take Lilia's place as the new captain of the guard, which is also what Lilia wants, but this matter needs to be done slowly.
Because Monte is different from Lilia after all, Lilia is the personal guard of the city lord Rocky, this identity makes her naturally respected by everyone, plus her strength is strong, and she is still a beauty herself, so there was no problem when she took over the guards.
But Monte is different, although his strength is stronger than Lilia, but as an outsider who has just come to Thunderhawk City, he can't compare with Lilia in terms of prestige at all, and if he is directly appointed as the captain of the guards, it will add unnecessary trouble to Monte.
So Rocky came up with a way to let Monte serve as the instructor of the guards first, so that he could train the guards while establishing his prestige in the hearts of the guards, and then he could naturally become the new captain.
At the same time, the training class finally took off when Monte became the new instructor of the Thunderhawk City Guards and began training the guards.
It is also strange to say that the training course, which was originally unattended, began to be signed up after Rocky limited the registration period, although the number of applicants was not large, only a dozen people, but this result still greatly surprised Erin, and made her puzzled.
"You can think of this as a price cut. ”
When Erin asked Rocky her question, Rocky replied to her like this: "Imagine that if the price of a product is permanently reduced, people will not rush to buy it, because it is a permanent price reduction, and when it is really useful, it is not too late to buy it again." ”
"But if a product is reduced in price for a limited time, people's desire to buy will become very strong, because if you don't sell it now, you won't be able to buy it later. ”
The same is true for the training course, adding a deadline to the registration time, and the residents' desire to sign up naturally increases. ”
"I see...... I didn't think of that before. ”
After Rocky's explanation, Erin understood what was going on, and nodded thoughtfully.
"How's the food going?"
At this time, Rocky opened his mouth to ask.
"Oh, it's all done, and the next month we will start selling grain to the residents, and the price will be the same as before, and when all the grain is sold to the residents, the money will be able to flow back, and then the money for the next season's yarn should be enough. ”
Now that a week has passed since everyone left the Sleepless God City, the Ruby Chamber of Commerce has already sent food to the city, and Erin has already taken care of all these things.
"Good. ”
After listening to Erin's report, Rocky nodded with satisfaction, although his reform of Thunder Eagle City has been launched, but it will take a lot of time to see real results, so during this period, Thunder Eagle City still needs to operate according to the old model, and there must be no chaos.
"By the way......" After nodding, Rocky suddenly thought of something else: "Is there any news from the Teal Chamber of Commerce, they should be there soon, right?"
"It's coming. ”
At the mention of the Azure Chamber of Commerce, a smile appeared on Erin's face: "They have already sent news, they should arrive with food in a week, and this time it is that Jasy who is leading the team." ”
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. ”
Giving Irene a look, Rocky smiled.
