Chapter VIII
In terms of who was the most unhappy at the banquet, it should be Xing Jun. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It wasn't that Xing Jun had taken the wrong medicine, but that the king and the ministers had been praising him one after another. This banquet was held to celebrate the brave man's successful crusade against monsters, and Xing Jun did not kill a single monster, so the praise sounded particularly harsh to him.
Merit is rewarded, and the king, who seemed to be in a good mood, gladly opened his mouth to ask him what he wanted.
Xing Jun had already thought about this question: "I want to form a knight order. ”
Knights and mercenary groups are not the same, small mercenary groups are ignored, and mercenary groups above the medium size need to be registered with the state and pay taxes to the state regularly. The Knights are a force recognized by the state, with political overtones, and there is no need to pay taxes, not to mention, the state will also contribute a certain amount of money to support it.
The king was very happy.
"It's to resist the monsters, isn't it? The will is commendable! Then the widow will give you a name, what is it called......?"
"No, I ...... the number"
"How about calling it 'Silver Pegasus'?" the king said excitedly, "Silver Pegasus, the mount of the first generation of braves, I hope you can take advantage of this invincible battle like the first generation of heroes and expel monsters." ”
Xing Jun was full of black lines.
There were already nobles beside him who began to echo: "Oh! Silver Pegasus? What a good name~!"
For a while, there was a lot of sycophants.
"Your Majesty is wise, and the name is so good. ”
"It's so good! It's wonderful! The old minister has lived for sixty years, and he has never heard such a good name of the Knights. ”
Xing Jun's face is black, and he is about to cut people!
The king was quite happy.
"Then it's settled, Brave Xing Jun, the number of the knights you formed is called Silver Pegasus! You can receive five hundred gold coins from the imperial capital every month, how about it, aren't you happy?"
Xing Jun's pestle was cloudy and sunny there.
A small smooth hand grasped his clenched fist, and Daisia came to his side and smiled, "Thank you, Your Majesty, you don't know what to do when he is happy." ”
Everyone laughed, Xing Jun should have knelt down on one knee to accept the reward, but in this festive atmosphere, he was also dismissed by the king.
On the second day, Fürth took the drawings to the workshop in the city, made a large golden lion flag, and customized three sets of uniforms with the lion logo. Needless to say, the high-profile symbol of the Silver Pegasus Knights is the Golden Lion.
For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the city, and all kinds of gossip newspapers appeared in endlessly. What are "On the Correlation between the Golden Lion and the Silver Pegasus", "The Golden Lion in the Skin of the Silver Horse", "On the Inevitable Connection between the Mutation of the Silver Pegasus and the Alien Invasion", "The Silver Pegasus Who Wants to Be the Golden Lion", "One Thousand and One Silver Pegasus" and other newspapers and periodicals......
The party Xing Jun didn't care, and took his Golden Lion Knights ...... Ah no, it's the Silver Pegasus Knights divided into three parts. The first part is called "Lion Bailey", the head of the regiment, Fürth, and there are 24 members; the second part of the "Lion Tooth Regiment" is headed by Pierce, and the member of the third part is "Lionheart Regiment", the head of the regiment is Lao Dao, and the members are not there.
The Silver Pegasus Knights, who had nearly 20,000 gold coins, bought a courtyard outside the castle and stationed it as a base, and did not rush to expand.
In the imperial capital, Paul and André told Hogel what they had seen.
"So...... The strongest brave man is basically determined to be Xing Jun?"
"That's right, my lord", Paul respectfully reported: "He can carry four or five hundred pounds of wild boar over the mountains and mountains, especially on the way back, and Fürth, the deputy commander of the Bailey Knights, who is similar to the lowly combat power, is powerless in front of him. According to humble estimates, its combat power has reached at least one enemy to the extent of one hundred. ”
"It's not bad. Hogel nodded in satisfaction. "That way, all the good cards are in our hands......"
Paul heard something strange.
"What do you mean, sir...... Are there other brave men who are very good, comparable to Xing Jun?"
Hogel looked quite proud.
"You can't even imagine that the eccentric female trio went out on an adventure and discovered ancient ruins of an uncertain age. One became the Ancient Warrior of the Amazons and was protected by the Wind Elves, the other was transformed into the Jungle Hunter with the Ancient Shortbow of Heat, and finally the Elf was also transformed into the High Elves, and it is said that the High Elves can continue to perform three upward turns.
Coupled with Xing Jun, who returned from defeating monsters, aren't all the good cards in this brave man in my hands?"
"Congratulations, Congratulations, Greetings!" Paul was also happy.
"But ......," Hogg's words turned. "We have limited financial resources and cannot afford to support these four brave men. ”
Andrei said innocently: "Then it would be nice to let someone else help." ”
"Are you stupid?" said Hogger angrily, "Leo and Lifal wish we had left the brave man in their hands, and the management of the brave man is now fragrant, and even Her Royal Highness the princess has the intention of interfering." ”
Andrei's innocence is undiminished. "But we can't afford to support ......"
"If you can't afford it, you have to support it!" Hogg's face was full of stubbornness. "If we can't support our own financial resources, then pull allies, pull vassals, let them pay for the brave, and we use our power to make profits for them. ”
Paul frowned, Hogel would never do this before, he abides by his duties, and Hogle is their master.
"My lord, I would like to share my worries with you!"
"Then go and get me money!" Hogg said to Paul, "We can't delay the development of the brave, absolutely not." But you can't leave the brave men to Leo and Lifal to take care of them, and you see what the sixteen brave men in the hands of their two brothers are doing, painting spring pictures, going to prostitution halls, eating, drinking, and having fun, and having the appearance of a brave man?--The brave man will be ruined when he hands them over!!"
Andrei sighed.
And Paul had a plan.
"My lord, I have a way!!"
"Oh?" said Hogle, looking at him quizzically. "What's the solution?"
Paul put it mildly:
"The king is very happy with the success of the brave man's expedition to the west, and we have struck while the iron is hot to persuade him to come and hold a tournament in which all the brave men will participate, and the final winner of the competition will receive a prize. Of course, the prizes were prepared by the king, not us.
The Brave Tournament is secondary, and it is important to invite the magnates and wealthy merchants of the imperial capital to visit the tournament in the name of His Majesty. Since the four strongest heroes are in our hands, then the final champion will definitely be born from our hands.
Hehe, the strongest brave showed his demeanor to the powerful and wealthy businessmen during the game, and asked the king to encourage them to donate money and materials after the game. The king certainly gave the money to the strongest brave, not the weakest. As the guardian of the strongest brave, you keep the money for the brave, and you will have money. ”
Hoggle laughed and slapped Paul.
"You stinky boy has a lot of eyes! Very good, I will enter the palace and beg Your Majesty to hold a competition. ”
