241. The Great Flicker Easter
In Coronia, the seven old nobles, including the Wind Chime family, can be said to be known to everyone, and everyone knows about it.
These seven families have inserted their tentacles deep into all aspects of Coronia, and have many important economic resources in their hands.
Although no one except for the eight families, including the royal family, knew about the division of shares in the Kingdom of Coronia, all of them were not fools, and it was clear that these seven nobles were completely different from the nouveau riche who grew up in the later years in their dealings with the Coronian family. The relationship between them and the royal family is more like partners on equal footing.
This behavior caused many people to speculate, but no one could have imagined that it was entirely the result of a pirate-style distribution of loot.
For Rogge, the Wind Chime family, a great nobleman who lives with the country, is not an existence that he can come into contact with in his daily life, and is simply a legendary character.
He had long guessed Easter's identity, guessing that he must be a member of some big force. And after Esther said that he was the legendary powerhouse of the Wind Chime family, this was also in line with his guess. Only an old aristocratic family like the Marquis of Wind Chimes family can send such a powerful team!
Although Rogge was only a young man from a small place, he had a father who was a wealthy family. The Broken Nobles were also nobles, which made him know a little more about the famous aristocratic families than the rest of his peers in the Dragon and Beauty Mercenary Group.
He knew that the seven top nobles, known as the First Duke and Six Candidates, were different from the nobles who were later newly divided by the Coron royal family for their meritorious deeds, not only occupied the richest and most vast land, but also did not even have to pay any tribute to the Coron royal family, and also had a completely independent private army. In the exploration and exploration of the wild land, it also has absolute autonomy.
After learning that East represented the Wind Chime family, even though there were still many doubts in his heart, Rogge immediately had an idea, that is, to join the private army of the Wind Chime family. The private armies of these great nobles have always had a reputation for being well-equipped and well-paid. The lucrative remuneration and the number of opportunities for advancement are far beyond the reach of being a mercenary.
And because the strength of these seven nobles is too strong, it can even be said that it is pervasive to all corners of Coronia, so Rogge can't imagine that East is playing on the spot at all, fooling him. He couldn't have imagined that the seven great nobles, which were almost sacrosanct to the Coronians, were not even as good as the color palette as a background for a time-traveler like East.
It's just that Rogge still has the last and most important doubt, that is, what Esther and his party are going to do during this trip to the White Tower. The enemy who can make the Marquis of Wind Chimes so jealous and have to hide their identities is probably a behemoth that will usher in a catastrophe as long as they are noticed by the other party.
Although he hopes to get in touch with a top nobleman like the Wind Chime family, Rogge doesn't want his brothers and sisters to do something that will kill him. Although whether you are a mercenary or a private soldier, you are making a living by licking blood with a knife, but fighting a war and sending you to death are completely two different concepts.
He asked solemnly, "Mr. Easter, of course we are willing to accept a long-term job from the Wind Chime family. However, you must know that the strength of our mercenary group is limited, and an enemy worthy of a strong man like you is a natural disaster for us. I don't think you're going to count on us against a legendary powerhouse, are you?"
"Of course not. Esther felt more and more satisfied with Rogge as a person. In this way, the person who can maintain his nature under all kinds of crushing and think soberly is exactly the subordinate he needs. He waved his hand at Rogge and made a gesture that you could feel at ease.
"Captain Rogge, you can rest assured that we came to the White Tower prepared for this time. There are four legendary powerhouses alone, and the rest are also high-level. Fighting and other things shouldn't be your turn to intervene. ”
Easter's subtext is almost to say that Rogge's gang is too weak to be counted as combat effectiveness at all. If it was outside the White Tower, and the rest of the mercenary group said this, then the dragon and beauty mercenary group would have to have a fight with each other anyway to weigh each other's weight, but at this time, Rogge felt extremely cordial after listening to Easter's words. He can understand Easter's meaning, that is, I don't look down on the strength of your mercenary group, as long as you cooperate with his plan and do a good job of covering, then all the dangerous work does not need to be done by your own team members. After all, it is a dangerous thing for an eighth-level warrior, but it is often easy for a legendary powerhouse.
Knowing this, Rogge signed a one-year employment contract with Esther with a hint of anticipation.
For a year from now, all members of the Mercenary Regiment of Dragons and Beauty are to be in full obedience to Easter's orders, making him their sole allegiance.
To Rogge's great surprise, Esther confidently told him that as long as everything went well on this trip to the White Tower, then Esther was sure that all the members of the Dragon and Beauty Mercenary Group would be promoted to level 10 within a year. And he said a little arrogantly that at that time, I'm afraid that even if he uses to catch up, he won't be able to drive away the dragon and beauty mercenary group.
Of course, Rogge didn't know that Easter had already planned to get the entire Dragon and Beauty mercenary group into the green leaf half-plane as long as this trip to the White Tower was over. At that point, the Green Fields Halfplane will no longer be short of energy. There, the members of the Dragon and Beauty Mercenary Group will become the first batch of guinea pigs, receiving the infusion upgrade of the Wanyuan Ancestral Pool. After all, the so-called perfusion escalation method has only produced an effect on Esther alone, and his own physical condition is so different that it cannot be used as the basis for any experimental conclusions. If in the future, if he wants to use the infusion upgrade on the people close to him, then for the sake of safety, it would be only fitting for East that everyone in the Dragon and Beauty Mercenary Group first experience this powerful upgrade method.
Unlike the infusion that directly promoted Esther to the rank of Legendary Strongman, and even almost blew him up, the infusion that Esther intended to use on the Dragons and Beauties mercenary group was a limited infusion under his control. Compared to the amount of energy required to directly rush East from level 11 to legendary, the amount of energy required to upgrade the mercenaries of the Dragon and Beauty mercenary group, which are all above level 8, to level 10 is simply minimal. Because just as it is more difficult to raise the level, the level of using the Wanyuan Ancestral Pool perfusion method to increase the level also increases exponentially, and the energy consumed by each level will be twice as high as the previous level.
If you set the amount of energy required to promote an ordinary peasant with no training at all and no professional level to a level 1 warrior. The total amount of energy consumed, according to East's estimates, is about one-tenth of the energy produced by a Source Energy Crystal per day. In terms of exponential growth, if you want to raise a level 9 warrior to level 10, the energy consumed will be 512, which will be the energy generated by 51 and 2 source energy crystals in a day.
According to Easter's estimate, after this trip to the White Tower, he could also get at least five source energy crystals. That is to say, in the worst-case scenario, he would only need about ten days for him to be able to promote a ninth-level warrior to tenth. And the dragon and beauty mercenary group has only twelve people from top to bottom, which is a very cost-effective investment compared to the energy that can be obtained in a year, and the role that these mercenaries can play in building the green field half-plane in a year.
Of course, poor Rogge Commander didn't know that Esther was fighting to swallow the entire belt of their mercenary group and turn it into the first batch of coolies to build the half-plane of Greenfield. At this time, after experiencing excitement again and again, he has slowly become less stressful. So much so that when he saw Esther and his party take out all kinds of equipment and make a big costume change for the Dragon and Beauty Mercenary Group, his heart was very calm, and he even thought that as a wind chime family, he was really generous.
However, the other members of the Dragon and Beauty Mercenary Group were a little surprised after being informed by the Elder of the Regiment that they had signed a year-long employment contract with Easter and his party. Generally speaking, there is basically no employer who hires a mercenary group for a long time, except for quasi-war activities. This kind of calculation of employment time in years usually occurs when a landlord suppresses tax-resistant peasants or rampant bandits in order to strengthen his rule over the territory.
In Coronia, because of the great abundance of materials, the main attention of the lords in various places is not on the peasants in the territory, but on the development of local specialties, and strive to get a share of the void trade, so the taxes in various places are extremely low, and instead of collecting local specialties. As a result, the tax-resistant peasants are even rarer creatures in Colonia than the legendary powerhouses, but on the way to transport local specialties to Colombo are often active with a variety of bandits who covet these valuable specialties, thus creating a large number of employment opportunities for mercenaries in the category of short-distance and long-distance escorts.
A one-year contract like this was unimaginable for a small team like the Dragon and Beauty Mercenary Group before.
After learning the specific amount of mercenary, the young mercenaries of the Dragon and Beauty Mercenary Group cheered even more. The income that can be earned from such a one-year job is ten times the half-year income of the mercenary group before.
And that's not the most surprising thing for the mercenaries. What really drives every mercenary crazy is after the employer issues weapons and equipment with the promise that it will be worth it with a commission.
Because these weapons and equipment, without exception, are all magical items that they have longed for for a long time, but are powerless, and have nowhere to buy.
