Chapter 0295 - Entrustment and Splitting (Plus Asking for Subscription)
Do you know me? ”
Sulu looked around with an interested expression.
I realized that at some point, an area had been cleared from all around me.
The innkeeper yawned behind the counter and fell asleep.
"A wandering knight whose origin is a mystery, who sniped the pursuers of the Duke of Wolfsburg one after another, a powerful wizard, someone has already heard of your name......"
The gray-robed middle-aged man said with an expressionless face.
"Goodwill in the West? You're from the West, the one of the 'Dukes of Blood'? ”
Sulu raised an eyebrow, since defeating the Silver-Eyed gang, the further south he went, the lower the intensity of the pursuers, and after leaving the north, he almost disappeared.
He also felt the help of a secret force.
It's just that jumping out at this time, a little too impatient, right?
"If you want to know, please come with someone."
A smile appeared on the face of the gray-robed middle-aged man, and he turned to leave the inn.
"Interesting."
Sulu smiled and got up to follow.
The two of them navigated the increasingly crowded streets and alleys, and the gray-robed man in front of them was clearly familiar with this.
He came to a place that appeared to be a slum, entered a hut, opened the floor, and a passage to the bottom appeared: "Please! ”
Sulu was inspired, plunged into the deep darkness, and stepped inside.
The tunnel was not long, and the man in gray held a torch and led the way in front.
After walking about 100 meters, I came to a wooden wall.
"Sulu Potterly! Would you like to be my knight? Gain fiefdoms and glory? ”
A dull voice came from behind the wooden wall, and it seemed that someone was leaning against the wall to speak, still a woman.
'Why is it that the people of this world tempt people with titles and fiefs one by one, as if they think that everyone is a dog and will like this bone?' ’
Sulu somewhat understands that he can't.
But who wouldn't be able to act, he breathed a little heavily, and said in a hoarse voice: "But my ideal is not just a knight's manor......"
In this world, hereditary lords are the lowest level of the nobility, and even many big nobles think that they are not really nobles.
Only hereditary barons are the undisputed official nobility!
Their fiefdom is even more expansive, allowing them to train two to five full-fledged knights and form their own knightly order!
"Ambitious people, I like ......"
The woman behind the plank was silent, and suddenly smiled: "But as a high-level wizard, maybe it's still a silver knight...... You do have what it takes to be a baron...... Even the viscount is not a dream. ”
As if to test the persuasiveness, a tulip badge encrusted with rubies was handed through the gap.
"Sure enough, it's the Duke of Blood in the West!"
Sulu sighed, he had read so many books in Wolf Castle, and he naturally had an understanding of the great nobles of the kingdom.
In the entire kingdom, under the royal family, there are only four dukes, divided into four borders, southeast, northwest and northwest.
The blood tulip is another name for the Grand Duke of the West.
"Could it be that the kingdom is going through another civil strife?" Su Lu sighed: "Madame knows that I have a bad relationship with the Duke of Wolf Castle, and she still wants to protect me, there must be a commission?" ”
"Yes...... Grimm, the eldest son of the Duke of Wolfsburg, will come to the royal capital in the near future to marry Princess Messiah, the daughter of Feleterin III. As long as you can do this, I assure you that the position of a baron and the castle will be yours. ”
There was temptation in her words.
It turned out to be a power struggle between the great nobles...... How do you feel that even if I complete the task, I will not be able to take the money? Eighty percent will be destroyed......
Sulu rolled his eyes inwardly.
The other party came and went quickly, and after Sulu said that he wanted to think about it, he immediately chose to leave.
This look is the noble lady and celebrity in the royal capital, the kind that communicates every day, and it can't be separated from it for too long.
"Someone send your Excellency out!"
The gray-robed man sent Sulu to the ground, and turned to take his leave.
"Your name?"
Sulu stared at him with interest and asked suddenly.
"Nobody."
The figure in gray quickly disappeared between the shadows of the cracks in the street.
"I always feel ...... This guy is better suited to be an assassin than I am......"
Sulu shook his head and walked out of the slum, where there were so many pedestrians that it almost blocked the streets.
Blacksmiths, bakeries, garment shops...... The stalls selling all kinds of gadgets are pieced together piecemeal, plus the wandering warblers standing on the street to solicit customers, and the gold-fingered thieves wandering in the streets and alleys, suddenly forming a vivid picture of the royal capital.
"How do you sell this pie?"
He saw a snack stall selling pies made of flour and fresh meat, baked in the oven until slightly charred, with a fragrant aroma.
"Five coppers a piece."
The red-haired peddler with his apron laughed.
"Here you go!"
Sulu casually gave the money, took the wrapped pie, took a bite, and felt that it tasted really good.
At this time, I suddenly sensed a lot of eyes.
It was a few children on the side of the road who were sucking their fingers, staring straight at the pie in their hands and the money bag.
It is a matter of course that such a little ghost, if not supervised by an adult, is controlled by a local gang and becomes a three-handed gold-fingered thief.
Every day, I don't know how many people lose their money bags because of this, and of course, there are also children who are caught and lose their hands.
"Even if it's the royal capital, there are such poor people......
Looking at their yellow muscles and thin faces, and their ribs were clearly visible, Su Lu couldn't help but sigh, and suddenly he was excited.
……
Also inside the City of Dragons.
Somewhere there is a secret meeting.
"Tell me...... If you don't have the talent, the qualifications, the knights or the wizards, are you willing? ”
A short, black-robed man roared, and there seemed to be a powerful and demagogic power in his words.
"You are poor, you are humble, you have been robbed of everything by the nobility...... But I had to greet him with a smile, all because I had no strength! ”
The little man suddenly spat out a strange note: "Fire! ”
In his hand, a flame the size of an egg appeared, and it burned brightly: "But now...... The opportunity is right in front of you, just take the potion, and you can gain extraordinary power just like me! ”
"It can brew honor, help you break through the bottleneck of knighthood, or become a wizard and master the ability of spells......"
The little man took out a bottle of potion: "Only a hundred gold coins!" ”
"I want it."
A middle-aged man walked out, quickly pulled out a buckskin money bag, and completed the transaction with the stunned expressions of many onlookers.
Not far away, Ham and Jon watched the scene and sighed at the same time: "Laffer has changed! And it's lying! ”
Potions only qualifies ordinary people to learn the language of hubris, and the next step is to learn this language systematically.
And ...... That person is certainly not a pauper, and a pauper can't afford to come up with so much money! Jon said angrily.
This small group of three, after gaining strength, finally split.
