Chapter 34: You Need Me (Ask for Collections and Recommendations)
Stepping out of the aristocratic mansion, Damian saw Evans standing in the shadow of the alley in the distance.
Since that assassination, Evans has been essentially a round-the-clock personal escort for Damian, secretly keeping him safe, even when he is not around.
Damian suddenly wanted to take a walk, so he asked the carriage to go back first, and walked alone along Bauhinia Avenue in the direction of Chuck Street.
Evans followed, looking like he was about to say something.
"What's the matter?" asked Damian.
"My lord, my client has appeared. Evans walked up to Damian and walked side by side with him.
"Oh, who knows?"
When they met, he was shrouded in a black robe, and he couldn't see his specific appearance clearly, but he could only see that he was very tall. ”
Damian recalls that he was dressed the same when he went to the Sorbis auction house, and it seems that the other party does not want to reveal his identity.
"But he paid the bounty in full, and apologized for what happened to our Greywind mercenary group. ”
Evans seemed to have something in mind, "I'll have this money delivered to the store tomorrow, just hoping that my lord will let me keep a hundred gold for the time being, as the basic expenses of the mercenary group in the near future." ”
"No, no, no. Damian hurriedly waved his hand, "I don't want your money, this is what I said from the beginning, and ......"
Damian looked at Evans, "I was just going to talk to you about wages." ”
"Salary?" Evans was curious about the new term.
Damian explains: "Simply put, it's a monthly employment fee. ”
Hearing this, Evans suddenly knelt down, "Lord Damian has a life-saving grace for the Grey Wind Mercenary Group, we can't thank it too late, how dare we accept the adult's money." ”
Damian was startled, and hurriedly helped Evans up, and said: "You and I have been in the same time, and naturally I know that the value of this thing is only about one hundred gold, and I used less than two bottles to cure your mercenary group, how can I let everyone work for me for free for a year at this point, so that I will not become an evil capitalist who oppresses the blood and sweat of the people?"
Evans didn't understand the specific meaning of the capitalist, but he probably understood what Damian meant, and he said slowly: "When we were desperate, only adults reached out, and I knew in my heart that in order to save our adults, I offended the Fern family, and this kind of affection cannot be measured by money. ”
Damian stopped, looked at Evans, and said seriously: "Then you tell me how many gold coins to spend to make a great knight work for me, if it weren't for you, I might have been in a different place in the alley that day, so I should say thank you to me." ”
Evans wanted to say something more, but Damian stopped him, "This matter is settled, and even if you don't care, you have to consider the brothers of Greywind, everyone risked their lives to be mercenaries, it is nothing more than a mess of food, since everyone is with me, I can't let the brothers chill." ”
Seeing that Damian was so determined, Evans didn't insist anymore.
"There's a lot more you need help with. Damian looked at Evans with a smile, "The Lorraine military promised me a knighthood, and you might have to go and be an instructor for them." ”
"Knights?"
"Yes, there are five hundred people, most of them are mid-level knights, and there are a few high-level knights. ”
Evans was speechless in astonishment, in this era of "fist is justice", knights are the cornerstone of aristocratic rule, and it is a dream of many nobles to have a strong knight order. And the mid-level knights of five hundred people are almost the armed forces of a medium-sized territory, and many big nobles do not have this strength, and Damien just got it casually.
"What's wrong?" Damian frowned, "Is this order of knights very poor?"
Evans only reacted from the shock, he shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Middle-level knights are not good, few of the brothers of Gray Wind have the level of middle-level knights, and mercenaries like us, in terms of discipline and tactical literacy, are not comparable to knights who have received orthodox training since childhood. Don't say five hundred......"
Evans stretched out five fingers, "Fifty people is enough to defeat the vast majority of Lorraine's mercenary team." ”
Damian listened with fascination and couldn't help but giggle all the time.
"Lord Damian, leave it to me. At this time, Evans showed the confidence and pride of the Great Knight, "I will train them in the harshest way of our Wicks, and I promise that in less than a year, there will be a few more high-ranking knights in the Order." ”
"Good, good. Damian nodded hurriedly, thinking that it would be good if the high-level knights were trained to be all high-level knights like Loren's knights.
Damian remembered the-eating expression on Buchko's face that night when he heard the call for the "Female Eagle Formation".
"In addition, the Gray Wind Mercenary Group will continue to recruit people, and now there are more than a dozen people who are too shabby, so you let Roderick take over temporarily, and tell me if you need money." Damian was deep in thought, he had been growing too fast lately, and it was evident that he was running out of manpower, especially without a competent assistant to help him keep everything in order.
"Evans, do you know a reliable candidate with talent in business and management, and you also know that Black Dragon's business is getting bigger and bigger, and I'm a little too busy to be alone. ”
Evans thought for a moment, "Most of the people I know are mercenaries and bounty hunters, and there really aren't any suitable people in this area. ”
"Yes. Damian thought that he might have to ask Gazo the snake shark for help.
"But...... I was approached by someone from the Sorbius auction house, and I thought it was a little suspicious, because she said she wanted to see Mr. Merlot, and I blocked her back for safety reasons. ”
"Sobis Auction House?" Damian wondered, "Did she say her name?"
She said her name was Kristina. ”
.........
The Palm Inn on Cross Street, the best inn in Downtown, is also the temporary place where Damien is now staying.
In the room on the top floor, Damian sat by the fire, quietly looking at the sexy girl in the chair opposite.
Kritina, the ace salesman of the Sorbis auction house, was also the person who received Damian that day, and she left the deepest impression on Damian because of her figure comparable to that of a Victoria's Secret supermodel.
But if you take a closer look today, it doesn't stop there, Kritina not only has a devilish figure, but also an impeccable face. With a high nose, delicate facial features, big gray eyes, and long chestnut hair as silky as silky, the whole person exudes a mature style.
"It's not a gentleman's practice to invite a lady to the bedroom when we meet for the first time. Seeing that Damian did not speak for a long time, Kritina took the initiative to speak.
Damian held back his mind and smiled: "May I ask this young lady, is there anything wrong with you?"
"Oh, no. Christina didn't seem to hear Damian's question, and replied to herself, "We shouldn't have met for the first time, do you say yes, Mr. Merlot?"
Dami was alert that Merlot was the pseudonym he used when he was at the Sorbis auction house, and since Kritina called him that, she should have seen through his original disguise.
"I don't know anyone called Merlot. Damian's tone grew cold, and he reached into his arms and grasped a hedron. This gadget, called the "Magic Sentinel Stone", was a gift from the dwarven elder Sean, and was divided into pairs. As soon as the magic is infused into it, the sentinel stone that is paired with it will sound an alarm, and the other piece is naturally with Evans.
Kristina saw Damian's movements, stood up with her hands held high, she turned her bumpy body, looked into Damian's eyes, and said sincerely: "I am not armed, and I will not have any martial arts or magic, and I will not pose any threat to your personal safety." ”
Seeing that Damian didn't speak, Kritina continued: "Mr. Merlot has the three-headed dragon mana mark, and the entire Lorraine has the three-headed dragon mark only Master Merlin himself and several of his students, and Merlot is a young man, a person who has the three-headed dragon mark and is a young man, and you are the only one who thinks about it, Mr. Darmian. ”
"Why do you think that Merlot is a young male?"
Although his whole body was shrouded in a black robe, he walked with a vigorous gait, but he was a little impatient and less calm, and he should be under the age of thirty. ”
"As for men...... the corners of Kristina's mouth curved into a nice arc, "I have a lot of guests, and ladies pay more attention to my face, and the two parts that keep staring at me are of course men." ”
"Ahem......" Damian was a little embarrassed, but he didn't expect it to be this reason, it was really a knife on the head of all evils.
"Is there anything wrong with you?" Damian did not deny it again, but admitted his identity.
A smile appeared on Kritina's face, and she changed her tone to a little girl and said, "I said so much just now, but in fact, some women are careful and want to show off their talents and attract your attention. However, you should have noticed that I have a keen sense of observation and a clear analysis of things, and of course, to be the trump card of Sobies, my business acumen is naturally not bad. ”
Kristina walked up to Damien and crouched down, the beautiful scenery looming under the slender neck of a swan's neck, and she looked up at Damien with her big beautiful eyes.
"I feel like you need me. ”
