Chapter 8: Shield-Bearer Guards (New Book for Collection, Recommendation, Thank You)

The next morning, while Casio was leisurely eating breakfast, he saw Maester Dain hurrying to meet him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Have you eaten? Let's sit down and eat something. Casio said to Master Dane as he drank his milk.

It was an honor to be able to have breakfast with His Royal Highness the Prince, and Master Dain naturally would not refuse.

"Look at you in such a hurry, has something big happened?"

"Your Royal Highness, didn't you ask me to go to the city hall as soon as I have time yesterday to hand over the work? ”

Casio raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Master Dane to move very quickly, and he almost handed over the work today.

"This is the handover situation. Maester Dane said, handing Casio a piece of paper full of words.

Casio watched as he ate, but soon, his face grew gloomy, and finally he slapped the paper on the table with a "snap".

Master Dain was startled and looked at Casio with some caution.

"Well, well, it's worse than I expected. Casio muttered to himself, a sneer on his lips.

This piece of paper is a report on the financial aspects of Lushui Town, in which the fishery of Lushui Lake is the largest output value project in the entire Lushui Town.

But unfortunately, Casio can't get his hands on the greenwater fishery at all.

The reason is very simple, according to the report, Green Water Lake has been sold to a group of nobles led by Count Carvin and others in Otes City for 200 gold coins many years ago due to poor management and other problems.

The Green Water Lake now has a net income of nearly 1,000 gold coins every year, excluding various costs, but now it has become the private property of Count Calvin and others, and Casio naturally can't get a son from it.

The so-called problem of poor management, Casio sneered again and again, shocking him to the IQ of a three-year-old child?

Even if you casually inquire on the street now, you will not hear that there are any major reasons for the reduction of production in Lushui Lake in the past ten years.

The second largest industry after the Green Water Lake fishery is the lumberyard near the Secret Whisper Forest!

Although the lumberyard is said to be the second largest industry after the Green Water Lake, the net income is actually only about a hundred gold coins per year, and Casio looked at it and found that in the end, he was only able to get more than thirty gold coins, which was still not counting the imperial tax.

As for the rest, where's the rest?

Very simply, Baron Dai Siwen and others have bought part of the management rights in their private names, and a certain proportion of the natural income will be shared.

In the end, after reading the entire financial report, Casio tragically found that the annual income he was able to get from Greenwater Town was less than a hundred gold coins!

"What about taxes?" Casio asked, with a calm face.

It's not like he hasn't governed a simulated city in a game before, and he won't forget about taxes.

Master Dain immediately smiled bitterly: "It is said that Baron Dai Siwen and others have abolished various commercial taxes for several years in order to make Greenwater Town more prosperous. ”

Casio didn't bother to say anything more, it sounded good for the prosperity of Greenwater, but in fact, it was just for his own convenience!

While Casio was pondering, Vanna also came to the living room.

Glancing at the dusty Vanna, Casio said in a harmonious voice, "It's hard work, sit down and eat something." ”

When Vanna sat down, Casio continued, "How's it going?"

As soon as he got up this morning, Casio instructed Vanna to go to Greenwater to find out if there were any merchants selling weapons and armor.

Although he had steel swords and other blueprints in his hand, these equipment were the most ordinary and common items, so he asked Fanner to buy them directly, and then try to see if he could really summon [Shield Guards] in the "Kingdom of God"!

He is in dire need of manpower now, and if the "Kingdom of God" can really succeed, then it will undoubtedly be able to alleviate his manpower problem for the time being, and at the same time, it will also allow him to make more arrangements for future plans.

Vanna nodded: "Your Royal Highness, everything you want is ready." ”

Casio nodded with satisfaction, and finally heard good news after encountering these troubles one after another.

"After you finish eating, gather the Agaret and them, and we'll go hunting!"

Hearing Casio's inexplicable command, the two of them asked suspiciously, "Hunting?"

"Yes, hunting!" Casio smiled at the corners of his mouth.

Baron Dai Siwen's Mansion, Baron Dai Siwen, who was meticulously dressed even at home, was listening to the butler's report.

After listening to the butler's report, Baron Dai Siwen was silent, and only confirmed after a while: "You said that the little prince took people out of the city to hunt early this morning?"

The baron's butler bowed: "Yes, my lord. ”

"What is the thing he asked people to buy today, you read it to me. ”

The baron's butler immediately read out all the things that Casio had ordered Vanna to buy, and as he listened, Baron Dai Siwen suddenly stretched out his hand to stop the butler.

"Wait, he just took a batch of money from us last night, buying weapons, etc., I can understand, it's nothing more than wanting to reequip the private soldiers. But why did he buy things like Jin Yan, Shui Jiao, and Flame Grass?"

The baron's butler was also full of confusion and shook his head.

Jinyan, Shuijiao, and Flame Grass are just ordinary ores and plants, which can be found almost everywhere in the Duchy of Dolan, and they are also very versatile.

Baron Dai Siwen was silent for a moment: "You continue to send people to keep an eye on him, I want to know what he is doing." ”

After the baron's butler was ordered to leave, a gloomy look flashed in Baron Daisven's eyes, it was really a great insult to him that they were semi-forcibly borrowed so much money by Casio last night.

He's looking for an opportunity to show Casio who the real ruler is!

"Whoosh!"

The arrow screeched through the air, and an impala fell, its sharp arrow piercing its neck.

Putting down the longbow, Casio turned his wrist, he used to be not the best at archery, but he was also outstanding, but now because of the influence of factors such as strength and real environment, it is not as powerful as before.

But despite this, Agaret and the others still stared at Casio with wide eyes, feeling that the arrow just now was definitely not something that His Royal Highness the prince they knew before could shoot.

Glancing at the Life Essence in the resource bar of the "Kingdom of God", Casio found that it had reached a value of 10, and his heart suddenly jumped to try.

After learning that the essence of life comes from life, he experimented in the kitchen last night and found that the essence of life can be obtained not only from humans, but also from various animals.

To put it simply, any living being can give him access to the essence of life!

The only regret is that the acquisition of the essence of life requires him to do it himself, and he can't fake it to others.

The acquisition of the essence of life is not so easy, what pheasants, hares only give about 0.1-0.3 essence of life, only impala can also give a 1.

And after nearly a full day of hunting, he finally gathered all the materials to summon the [Shield Guard].

"Agaret, go to the perimeter and keep an eye on the perimeter, and no one is allowed to approach. Ron, lift the box to the open space in front of you. Casio ordered this Agaret and the others one by one.

Immediately, Ron and several hired manservants placed a box containing weapons and equipment in a clearing in the forest according to Casio's instructions.

After they were put away, Casio told them all to roll to the periphery to be on guard, while he went to the side of the box and looked at the long swords, chain mail and other items inside the box.

"Whew~ I hope you won't let me down. ”

After making sure that there was no one around him, Casio clicked on the [Shield Guard] option in the "Kingdom of God" panel and selected Summon.

Although Agaret and the others were close to him, the "Kingdom of God", something that could directly summon soldiers, was obviously guilty, and he naturally didn't want more people to know about it.

As Casio confirmed the summoning, he saw that with him as the center, a circle of complex and gorgeous formation aura spread out, and ten green light clusters flew out of Casio's body and converged to the center of the formation.

The green light clusters began to twist and elongate, and soon formed a human form, and at the same time, the steel longsword, oak shield, and other items in the box flew out of their own accord and set themselves on the green humanoid light clusters.

The light of the green light cluster gradually faded, and the formation under his feet began to converge and disappear, and a burly soldier with a fierce face and a fierce and murderous aura appeared in front of Casio with a long sword in one hand and a shield in the other.

As soon as these shield-wielding guards appeared, they made a "bang" and knelt in front of Casio in unison: "Your Royal Highness!"

Casio's face was full of surprise, and when he had a limit on the number of requirements in the "Kingdom of God", he guessed that the summoned [shield guards] should not be individuals, and when these shield guards really appeared, it verified his idea.

The summoned [Shield-Bearer Guard] is indeed not an individual, but a ten-person squad that is fully formed!

"Get up, which of you is the captain?"

As Casio asked, a young man in his thirties stepped forward: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, I am the captain of the squad. ”

Looking the young man up and down, Casio nodded with satisfaction, "What's your name?"

Hearing Casio's inquiry, he didn't want the young man to shake his head: "Your Royal Highness, I don't have a name. ”

"Huh?" Casio was stunned, "What do you mean?

"I don't have that memory. ”

Casio raised his eyebrows: "Then what do you remember?"

"I just remember that I led my squad and fought all the time, endlessly!"

The squad leader's answer made Casio frown slightly, he originally wanted to learn about the "Kingdom of God" from these [shield guards], but he didn't expect that the other party had no memory except for the battle.

After a little pondering, Casio said: "Then from today on, your squad will be called the Shield Guard Team, you will be called A One, and the others will choose their own names according to the situation, and use A Two and A Three to line up to A Shi. ”

Casio didn't want to make it too complicated, so he directly used the simplest method to name it, which was also convenient for him to coordinate and command later.

After solving the name problem, Casio had a brief exchange with them, and his heart was even more pleasantly surprised.

[Shield Guard], as a first-order class, is really the same as Casio's memory, or even better.

Originally, the strength of the first-order troops all had the strength of the first order, but after all, there were strong and weak in each stage, so in the normal first-order troops, there were also high and low, and the overall level of the [shield guard] was in the middle of the primary strength, and the first one, as the captain, was even stronger.

When Casio came out of the clearing with the [Shield Guard], Agaret and the others were shocked, wondering how Casio had conjured such a team out of their noses.

Casio's answer is very simple, almost saying that he had already arranged and secretly conducted training when he was in the royal capital. And in order to pave the way for more [shield guards] in the future, Casio also said that someone will join in one after another.

Although this answer is simple, on the one hand, it gives Agarett and others a mysterious impression of Casio and effectively deters them, and on the other hand, it also gives Agarett and others more hope, making them understand that following Casio is not as hopeless as they imagined!
