Chapter 2: The Kingdom Rerises (part 2 of 60)
"As you can see, there are twenty gold coins, sixteen of which are a year's salary for employing your Knights of the Oath. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and the other four gold coins I used to redeem this knight. How's that? Enough?"
"Enough! Enough! Definitely enough......!"
"Then we're done. And the knight over there shouldn't have any objection to that, after all, you don't look like you're very rich. ”
The black pupils swept slightly, and the knight's slightly embarrassed face was reflected in the eyes that flashed with cold light. There is neither room nor the possibility of negotiation.
The other party has unilaterally declared that he belongs, and he cannot refuse it.
The knight sighed, put away his sword, and nodded slightly to Char.
"Very well, then from today you will be my Knights of the Guard, and the Knights of the Oath will be my full-time special assault force. Let's go, let's talk as we go. Especially the big man over there, I'll introduce you to the number of members by the way. ”
Char directed the two of them as a matter of course, and led them to the outside of the house first.
At this time, the owner of the tavern suddenly appeared in front of Char and stopped Char.
"Wait, this young man over here!"
"Huh, what's wrong?"
"What's the matter? Your people have basically smashed all of my tavern, and since you are their owner, it is natural that you have to pay compensation for these utensils?!"
Char glanced at the stumps around him that had been destroyed by the aftermath of the battle, and there were scars everywhere, as if to tell the intensity of the battle just now. The entire tavern seems to have been destroyed.
Sighing, he reluctantly took out a silver coin and threw it to the tavern owner with glowing eyes.
"This coin is to be my compensation, and as a condition of exchange, tell me that there are the most poor people in this city, and that they are willing to labor in exchange for a job that can make ends meet?"
The tavernkeeper was overjoyed when he received the silver coin, and naturally replied wholeheartedly: "Almost everyone in this royal city is willing to work in exchange for payment. You can check out the trade market in the south of the city, where you can find almost everything except the slave trade. Believe me, you will find there no less than a few hundred labor coolies. ”
Char touched his chin.
Leave the bar.
Char took Renaud Charles as the big man, Robinson Wilson as the knight's name, and his first attendant Marseille to the north of the city in a carriage.
Along the way, Renault introduced his team to Char. For example, they swore that there were fifty-six members of the Knights, all of whom had the strength of regular knights, and each of them had a set of regular armor and a war horse. It has been ten years since the Knights debuted, and everyone is a veteran of murder.
Among them, Renaud and Robinson have killed hundreds of people so far, including enemies and soldiers, Germans, Romans, Saxons, Toti, and Bud Tea people, and basically all of Central and Western Europe have their tracks of the activities of the Order of Oath.
However, in recent years, they have offended a lot of people, so they have to hide here for a while.
Unexpectedly, he would meet Char, a generous employer, here, so he simply stayed on this island and followed Char until the end of his term.
Along the way, Char also asks questions about Robinson. Renault said that Robinson joined the Knights of the Oath about three years ago, but he was arrogant and unsociable, causing the surrounding team members to complain, but Robinson's strength was very strong Renault was reluctant to exclude him from the Knights, and as a result, everyone fought along the way to the British Isles, and then today suddenly there was a conflict, and then ...... I met Char.
As for Robinson's previous affairs and his body, almost no one cares about it, and I think it's all people who lick blood from the knife edge, why do you care so much.
"However, since the name of your Knights has already provoked so many enemies outside and you have to hide here, I think you should not continue to use the name of the Knights of the Oath. Whatever you think, I hate trouble and get some unnecessary trouble coming to my door. ”
"Well, since the adults said so, it's not impossible for us to change it, it's true that our knights have killed too much, and it is inevitable that some trees will make a big splash. But I'm a big guy and I can't name it, so why don't you think of one for an adult?"
Char glanced at Renault and found that the other party's eyes were full of sincerity and he didn't seem to be the type to use his brain.
"I see, if that's the case...... Well, since I met you in October, let's call it the October Knights in the future. Hehe, it happened to be a homonym for the oath, just like the destined name. ”
"My lord, you always feel a little too casual to name it like that......"
"It's the name you asked me to come up with, but I'm not satisfied. Don't get too carried away Renault, it's unwise to anger an employer. ”
The latter could only succumb to his head and hate himself, why did he give up the naming right to others so casually.
The rest of the story went exactly step by step in Char's plan.
"Also, starting today you will be the Third Guardian Knight, Renaud Charles, codenamed Earth. ”
"And Robinson is the first guardian knight, Robinson Wilson. Codename Arc Light. ”
It is irrefutable, even if Renault Charles asked with the eyes of why he was the first and I was the third, he was warned by his employer with a stern look, and could only mumble and reluctantly accept.
Time turns.
Historical overlap.
The October Glory Knights, which dominated the British Isles, and the prototype of the Twelve Guardian Knights of His Majesty were formed.
(PS: The world line of All-Out War in Call of the Otherworld.) )
..................................................................
Found out after coming to the trade market. Sure enough, as the tavern owner said, there were a lot of laborers here, holding various signs.
The leader was generally dressed in neat clothes, and behind him was a large number of mud-legged laborers. The leaders will indicate on the sign what the members of their group will do, and the time and price will be clearly written.
And for the team led by this kind of person, Char generally ignores it directly.
There is no doubt that the labor force with the same rank as a leader is the labor force monopolized by the aristocracy. You can't have any contact with those nobles at the beginning of your plan, and it's not that time yet.
After searching the "labor" market, a group of more than 200 pure commoners without any political or aristocratic background were employed, of which 200 were dedicated to coolies.
There is also a clerk, I heard that he was a servant of the nobles and studied a little literature and history, and later worked hard to make money to redeem himself and became white again, he was a young man who looked very energetic and thoughtful.
The young man's name is Shariya Galan. With curly brown hair, sky-blue eyes, and a slender figure, he is typical of Britons.
He stood on the side of the road, dressed in a neat and neat burlap coat, holding a sign and waiting for someone to hire him. Char almost mistook him for a woman when she saw him for the first time, but only when she saw him on his chest did she be sure that this person was actually a boy.
Sure enough, cute beautiful girls are always dressed up as boys......
He was hired for a silver coin a year, and Shariya Garan was very competent as a clerk. From the moment he was hired, he had been writing and drawing behind him with a straw pen and a hand of rough leather paper. According to the amount of money allocated to him by the adult, he calculates the plan for future expenses and so on.
I feel very satisfied when I look at him, this is a young man with a strong sense of self-improvement and self-motivation.
However, after learning more about it, this young man had also been on the battlefield as a soldier, and he was experienced and could use a spear. He is said to be very skilled in spearmanship, and he will also organize spearmen to line up in a phalanx.
To be honest, it was too wasteful to be a clerk for such a talented person, so it was decided to promote him to the new guardian knight.
"Shariya Jialan, from today you are the Fifth Guardian Knight, the Knight of the Holy Spear. ”
The second clerk to join the team was a wandering poet whose parents and ancestors had been wandering poets for generations, and his ancestral home was in Rome, Italy.
Edward was a poet and part-time orator, and he traveled extensively for many years, and was well versed in local customs and languages. And even if there is something he doesn't know, there must be a corresponding explanation in an ancestral treasure book. This can be said to be the wealth left by his ancestors, and Edward has always cherished it very much, and it can even be said that he loves it like his life.
Char asked Edward how much he wanted when he hired him, but he didn't expect Edward to say that he didn't want money, and just wanted to see if Char had any colorful stories to attract him and make him worthy of following.
And then...... Char told him the story of One Thousand and One Nights on the spot~
A wild wandering poet has been successfully captured~
The last to join the team was an architect from Italy. Massimo Roy was an obscure architect who had been in the construction profession for twenty-three years, building houses, villas, sewers and wooden bridges in the first half of his short life. But now at the age of 37, he is still unknown.
After meeting Char in the market, Char honestly couldn't make up his mind about recruiting this scruffy-looking architect for a while. Although he claimed to have built thousands of houses and even repaired Roman sewers and elevated aqueducts, Char decided to recruit him because of his unique skills.
However, there is a premise that Char must answer three questions. First of all, what are the basic conditions for the construction of a house? Massimo answered him instantly: foundation, foundation, main body (walls, beams, slabs, columns, etc.), floor, roof, wall, and finally doors and windows, and repair (decoration).
Char nodded with satisfaction after hearing this. The fact that he can answer immediately after asking a question without thinking shows that this person has memorized the basics of the construction industry to his bones. The latter two questions about bridge construction and canal and sewer repair, Massimo can give the best answer perfectly and quickly, so that Char can be regarded as completely convinced that the other party is a good architect.
Char hired the architect for one gold coin per year.
An architect who likes to get drunk joins the team~
Char left the market with more than 200 people he had found, attracting many people's attention along the way.
After finding a relatively secluded place with no people, Char gathered them all together and told them.
From now on, everyone will be under Char's command. In order to unify management and distribution, he selected ten of the two hundred laborers who looked the strongest and were not stupid to be the team leader, and implemented class management and leadership. From now on, the leaders of each group will directly obey Char and be responsible for transmitting orders and project information, including the progress of the rush work.
And Char named the twenty team leaders the first team, the second team, the third team, and the fourth team as the code names......
Then Char then asks the captains to manage and unify their own team members. Char dismissed everyone on the spot, telling them that everyone would gather here in a week's time, and that they would be given uniform clothing and tools.
Some people don't understand what uniform clothing is, so Char explains that uniform clothing is a special kind of clothing used to enhance the sense of identity and dependence on the organization.
Looking at the expressions of those people who seemed to be at a loss, Char knew that this was the restriction of this era, and even if he said anything, it would be in vain. He simply didn't say anything, quickly blasted all the people away, and then took the rest of the main members to the castle himself.
After arriving in front of the castle, Char gathered these cadres together again to discuss and then disbanded. Renaud Charles, the head of the October Knights, who was in charge of the armed guards, went to gather his members, and Robinson Wilson became the guard and served around Char. The spearman guard Shariya Jialan, the orator Edward, and the master builder Massimo also dispersed and waited for a week to assemble again.
Finally, Char looked at the remaining Marseille around him, for the servant who had been with him from the beginning. Although he likes to take advantage of others, I have to say that his service is still very good along the way, so Char decided to include him in his team, after all, he will inevitably have an errand runner in the future.
