Chapter 062
Aristocrats are strangely creatures. www.biquge.info They are not necessarily physically stronger than civilians, and their abilities are not necessarily as outstanding as civilians, but they have a sense of superiority that is taken for granted and distorted. Specifically, they are extremely possessive, they regard everything in the territory as their own private property, which can be used or even ravaged at will, and it is for this reason that there is such a strange law as the right of the first night. In order to show this possessiveness, the nobles even wanted to leave their mark on everything they had, for example, they would put their family crest on every flag, every robe, every shield, and even every horse's butt. They are like hounds walking in their territory, eager to pee on every corner.
The Baron Laugra was such a typical nobleman that he even printed his family coat of arms lightly on every piece of letter to show the so-called glory.
"This bastard is really special, it's also a crime to buy a murderer, and I don't know how to cover it up. Fatis said hatefully.
"It's not that he doesn't know how to cover it up," Knight Meyer said straightforwardly, regardless of Mudi's mood, "He probably thinks it's unnecessary, even if the little boss knows that he did it, what can he do?"
Mu gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, "Knight Myer, if I want revenge, will you stop me?"
"Theoretically, I should advise you to dispel hatred. The old knight replied solemnly, "However, there are duels between knights because of hatred, so I am not in a position to stop you." It's just that, with your strength, to take revenge is to hit a stone with an egg. ”
"I know. Mu nodded, "So I'll wait." ”
"That's good. The old knight nodded, and said no more.
"So," Fatis tore up the letter and threw it into the wind, "what are these captives going to do? ”
Mu thought for a moment and looked at the old knight again, "Knight Meyer, how do you deal with the captives and loot?"
"I don't recommend killing captives who are incapable of resisting. The old knight touched his beard under his chin, "But no matter how merciful we are, we know that we can't return our teeth to the tiger." ”
An evil light flashed in Mu Di's eyes,
"Understood. ”
So, on the plains of Swadia, there were more than a dozen naked men running in tears.
The knights, on the other hand, were tidying up their second-hand armor and trying to put the black lion robes on the outside of the armor.
Mu frowned, "By the way, why do I think the armor on your body is so incongruous?"
Fatis straightened his armor, looked up as well, and immediately covered his face and lowered his head. These bastards were so poor that they were reluctant to take off the rags on their bodies, so they directly put the captured armor outside. It is said that bounty hunters are generally equipped with cotton armor or nail armor, which is very flexible, so they actually wear it in this way, but the cotton armor is still loose, but it is squeezed and bulging, just like a muscular muscular person, and the head is very small. Forget it," Mu looked at these veterans, and he couldn't laugh or cry, "After the equipment is sorted out, I will set off quickly, and I will sell this batch of goods in Paravon, so that I can settle your supply fee." ”
Hearing this, no matter how thick-skinned the cavalry was, they couldn't help but blush, as long as their own broken things were not completely scrapped, they were not damaged, and how much supply could they need? Or did they say the wooden sticks and pitchforks that were broken off during the charge? Those who had been in the army a little bit had no face to say that they would be reimbursed! Not to mention that two days after they went out, someone had sent them a suit of better equipment.
"What is this?" The old knight's eyes were like torches, and he soon found that while Mu was ordering the cavalry to loot the ground, he quietly stuffed some things into his pocket, and couldn't help asking.
Mu Wenyan smiled embarrassedly, and took out those things after a while, "This is a drug used by bounty hunters to control slaves and prisoners of war, I think you may not like it, so... ”
The old knight snorted coldly, "Don't have evil thoughts, don't use them where they shouldn't." ”
"I see, Knight Meyer. Mu said
。。。。。。
Even if the cavalry who tasted the sweetness were eager to try, the rest of the journey was peaceful. It seems that Baron Laugra is not capable of reaching out to Paraven, and those green forest heroes do not have the courage to touch the edge when they see the cavalry in full armor. The humble caravan, consisting of only four cars, slowly entered the bustling port of Paraven and stopped in front of a maritime merchant's shop.
"Brother knights, you've worked hard!" Mu stood on the top of the truck and smiled and pointed to a not-so-small inn across the road, "Please rest at that inn for a while, and come back to settle accounts with you when I change the dinar!"
"Oh oh oh!" the cavalry shouted excitedly, who would not be happy to be able to take the money.
"Little brother, the morale of your guards is very high. The shopkeeper greeted with a smile as he looked at the knights who were gradually dispersing.
"Awards, awards. Mu smiled and asked, "You can collect specialties from all over the world here." ”
"Of course," the boss asks Mu to sit down, he is the director of the maritime merchant in the Parabun area, and at the same time, it is also a shop that sells ready-to-wear clothes, and there are already a few people in the store, "So, what do you want to sell?"
"Spices, a lot of spices. Mu replied, "The best goods from Tulja." ”
The boss smiled knowingly, "It seems that you have been miserably cheated in Sunuo." ”
Mu touched his nose embarrassedly, "No, I lost two cars." ”
"You're lucky, there's no bones left in his pit, and you're lucky to be able to get out with most of the cargo. The boss poured Mu a glass of water and continued, "And it is a coincidence that you have come, Laugra's caravan has not yet arrived in Parabun, and your goods will definitely be sold for a good price." ”
"Hehe, just say it. Mu took a sip of water and moistened his throat, "How much money are you going to pay for this batch of spices?" ”
"This, this... The boss fiddled with his fingers, "You know, we maritime merchants are different from land merchants. Because of the shipping location, many spices cannot be transported, and the price is naturally not high. So, how much it is, I'll have to go and see how much it will be. ”
"Okay," Mu said, "Do you want me to go with you?"
"You don't need this, just tell the guy to see it. Your guards are still there, don't worry about us cheating. The boss said with a smile.
Mu also smiled, "Of course, you believe me, I believe you, this is the most basic virtue among businessmen." ”
The boss waved his hand and said, "Then, you sit down for a while, and I'll go to receive the guests." ”
"Please. ”
The boss hurriedly went to do his own business, and Mu sat at the table alone and waited. Most of the ladies and ladies who entered the ready-to-wear store were there, and the chattering made Mu a little big.
"Look, how about this dress?" a girl came out of the dressing room, and she still carried the hem of her skirt around, like a princess.
"I mean, this is fashion. The other girl pointed to a plain dress.
"What are you talking about, this set is too ordinary. ”
"Hehe, you don't know," said the girl, crossing her waist and holding her toes high, "Miss Motia, the most beautiful woman in Suno, usually wears a long dress of the same style as this one!"
"Just blow it!"
"Hmph, I didn't talk nonsense, I saw it with my own eyes. The girl straightened her chest and said proudly, "Last week, when my dad and I went to Suno to visit relatives, we stayed at the Green Family Tavern. I saw Miss Motia walk in and go up to the second-floor room without looking back. ”
"Oh, Miss Motia will stay at a hotel?"
"You stupid, you must be a tryst!"
"Ahhh ”
"I've heard that she's been getting close to Baron Laugra lately... ”
Hearing the familiar name, Mu immediately came to his senses. Prick up your ears and listen intently to the conversation of the group of girls over there. It's just that the back is boring gossip, and I really haven't heard any useful information. In the evening, under the watchful eyes of the cavalry, Fatis entered the hotel with a large money bag and leaned heavily on the table around which he was sitting.
Mu stood up, clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, this is the settlement money you deserve, please be polite." ”
While the people's hearts were still in turmoil, the old knight cleared his throat and walked up and said, "Fatis and I will divide this money and send it to everyone." I swear in the name of a knight that I will be absolutely fair. ”
The cavalry had no opinion, and the Mayer knights were still quite strong.
"Alright, guys, before I eat, I want to say something. Mu clapped his hands again, and some of the whispering veterans also quieted down, only to hear Mu continue, "Have you ever thought about what to do after this trip is over?"
The veterans chuckled in their hearts, judging from the bags just now, if they were divided equally, they would definitely get a large amount of honorarium. But then? Though the honorariums are expensive, they can't afford to buy land, and they end up having to live on a tight margin, unless...
"Moreover, I am only a small businessman, and I have made a lot of money this time, but to put it bluntly, my caravan is only a few cars, and it is impossible to feed so many cavalry. So, even if I were willing to hire you as guards, I wouldn't be able to pay them. Speaking of this, Mu also smiled bitterly, "Moreover, even if I am willing to hire, you are not willing to come." ”
The cavalry's eyes dimmed. Some of them were willing to be hired, but with so many brothers here, it was hard to say.
"So, I have a proposal. At this time, Mu raised his voice and said loudly, "I will use all the money this time as an investment, and you will use technology as a shareholder, let's set up a mercenary group!"
There was silence for a few seconds, and then there was an uproar, and even a few invectives rang out. They are knights, not lowly mercenaries!
"Boss Mu. "Knight Meyer blushes" You have to give a reasonable explanation, otherwise, we will take this as an insult. ”
Mu nodded, "Of course, but you have to listen to me quietly." ”
The old knight nodded, and roared a few words below, and everyone suddenly fell silent again.
Mu cleared his throat and was confident. After getting along in the past few days, he also understood the temperament of these knights. Although they are all elm heads, it is not difficult to communicate with them, and the most important thing is to occupy the moral high ground. To exaggerate, as long as you make them feel that your cause is just, even if you instigate them to assassinate the king, they will do it, or a one-stop service of killing and burying. And even if the matter is revealed, they will shout that they have the intention to kill the thief, and they have no power to return to heaven and die generously, and they definitely don't have to worry about confessing you.
Ahem, it's far away again.
Mu pressed his hands to keep everyone calm.
"Everyone, please listen to me before you hit me. Mu said loudly, "You hate mercenaries, but you are disgusted with their greed, their cold-bloodedness, their untrustworthy words, and so on." However, if the mercenaries are as upright and strict as the knights, then will you still hate them?"
The veterans were silent for a while. That's right, the five virtues are the creed of their knights, and if the mercenary can also act with the five virtues, he can be called an honorary knight.
"Naturally, we don't hate a person who keeps the Five Virtues, even if he is a mercenary. After thinking about it, the old knight said, "It would be better if the mercenaries could speak the five virtues." ”
"So, you hate evil, not mercenaries. Mu knocked on the table and continued, "And now, the mercenary world is a miasma, they are greedy, they are despicable, I have personally experienced this. After a pause, he continued, "So they need an example, a benchmark, and everyone," his hands slowly raised and spread out to the sides, crossing each veteran
"It's the savior!"
There was silence at the table, and the veterans gasped, and the word savior was too tempting for them to regard honor as their lives.
However, there are also calm people among them, such as the old knight Meyer.
"Boss Mu, this is a good proposal," he clapped his hands, which can be regarded as applause, "It's just that the mercenary group composed of knights really takes over the business?"
When everyone heard this, they were also stunned.
Yes, they also know a little bit about the status quo of the knight's profession, and naturally they also know that they are not treated well by the merchants.
"Your integrity does make many businessmen feel uncomfortable," Mu smiled slightly, "but don't you think it's also our best sign?"
"Think about it, if you were to transport some high-end goods or important supplies, would you choose to ask the knights for help or find a wave of mercenaries you didn't know?" Mu said in a voice that he thought was demagogic. "If a mercenary group is really established in the future, we can do as much as we can do in those high-end businesses, instead of running around the world pitifully like other mercenaries. What do you think?"
Before the old knight could reply, Mu continued: "Of course, making money to feed everyone is not only the only purpose of this mercenary group. Looking at the appearance of everyone, it is easy for me to think that, like all of you, there must be many brothers who have been impoverished because they have been eliminated from the army. Therefore, this mercenary group can be regarded as a test of the waters, if we succeed, those heroic knights will have one more way to live, so that they will not live a bloody battle in the first half of their lives and a poor life in the second half of their lives. Moreover, even if some of us are too old to move, we can still serve as instructors to teach new young people. In this way, you don't have to worry about your own pension problems, but also provide a steady stream of fresh blood for the mercenary group... Of course, this is only a preliminary idea, and there will be time to revise it slowly. ”
