Chapter 4 It's better to fight for money than for your father

And then add those good horses, horses are the most important means of transportation on the mainland, but what kind of horses can a poor mercenary afford? Needless to say, the value of a good horse is far more than a good weapon, thirty gold coins, no less!

Not only himself, but even the kid with the leg injury, when he was in a hurry these days, he also pulled out his newly acquired weapon from time to time and waved it a few times, with a happy face, and it is estimated that he has almost forgotten the injury. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Orbis is in a good mood with a smile on his face, after the mission is completed, he must find a hotel to have a few drinks and then sleep well for two days... The reward for this mission is twenty gold coins, and this noble magician is very generous, maybe he will give more... And then you have to sell the surplus horses and the weapons and equipment that have been replaced, one, two, three... Twelve horses, that's three hundred and sixty gold coins, plus...

"Orbis!"

Orbis was thinking about it happily, and he was almost choked by his own saliva, so he quickly collected his thoughts, rode his horse to the side of the carriage, and said respectfully: "My lord, what's the matter?"

"Get in the car. ”

"Yes, sir!"

Orbis stepped into the carriage and sat down on the floor as he had done last time.

"Your Excellency?"

Chris nodded and said, "Orbis, what are your plans when you arrive in Kib Town?"

Orbis was startled, could it be that he accidentally read it out when he was counting the money just now? I haven't figured it out yet. ”

"I will go home this time, I can stay for a short time, I have to go back to the imperial capital before the end of the month, if you have nothing else important, then I will hire you to escort me back to the imperial capital, is it okay?"

Orbis was overjoyed, the mercenary was most afraid of not receiving the task, originally according to the previous arrangement, he could only stay in Kibu Town for about three days before rushing back to the imperial capital, the five or six days spent on the road were equivalent to no task, and the time of these days was a waste, and now this generous aristocratic magician has issued a task, then as long as he calculates a little, he will know that the gold coins earned in this month are enough to cover the income of the past six months, so what is there to be unwilling?

"Orbis?"

"Ah, sir, yes, absolutely, thank you very much for your trust. ”

"Why don't you ask your companions for advice?"

"Ah, no, no, I'm sure they won't object, thank you!"

Orbis excitedly jumped out of the carriage and conveyed Cris's mission, and sure enough, the mercenaries all shouted excitedly: "Thank you for your trust!"

Chris smiled.

At noon on the third day, Chris and his party finally arrived at the town of Kib.

The town of Kibu is almost the largest in the empire, and the dark gray walls stretch to the end of the view, but there is still no justification, and the wide moat surrounds the city, which is called "town", not only for defense, but also for transportation.

A major tributary of the moat was channeled into the center of the city, dividing the great city into two parts, of which the southerly city was the main part, covering a large and prosperous area, including the lord's palace, the town hall, and the nobility and commoners, and a town of Kib, comparable to a large city, developed silently and naturally in this northern region, which was said to be wild and cruel.

Two hundred kilometers to the right of Kib is the Monster Forest, known as the Land of Death, and most of the northern part would have been barren without Kib's garrison.

The first time they came to this city, everyone couldn't help but glance at the monster forest that was faintly visible in the distance, and then look at the tall walls of the city in front of them and swallow their saliva.

However, a group of men and horses in front of the city gate made Orbis and the mercenaries tremble in their hearts, the number of them was about two hundred, all riding on tall war horses, both knights and war horses were wearing full armor, the men and horses stood there, motionless, and the weapons were not unsheathed, but the atmosphere of slaughter made everyone tremble.

Orbis swallowed his saliva and quietly led the mercenaries to follow behind the carriage in fear, not daring to overstep.

Man is the spirit of all things, but he is not as good as most animals, and the horse pulling the carriage begins to tremble with his legs and snort when he is close to fifty meters, and he does not dare to go any further.

Chris stepped out of the carriage.

A horse stepped out of the military formation on the opposite side: "Master Chris!"

Chris laughed and said, "Nader, it's you!"

Nader rushed over with great joy, and in the blink of an eye with a puff of dust, he arrived in front of Kris, then turned over and dismounted, and knelt down on one knee in front of Kris: "My subordinates have seen Master Kris!"

Chris helped him to his feet and looked at the former loyal guard, "Very well, Nader, I'm almost taller than you." ”

Nader's face was full of joy, and he nodded with a simple smile: "Young master, get on the horse!"

Chris deftly turned on his horse, turned back to Orbis and said, "You follow me!"

Then Nader took the reins of his horse and walked towards the gates.

When they arrived in front of the two hundred knights, the two hundred knights dismounted in unison, knelt down on one knee and said, "Master Chris!"

Chris exclaimed, "Get up." ”

The knights mounted neatly and made way for the middle way, and Chris rode slowly into the city from the middle.

Kib has a hustle and bustle that no human city lacks, with tall gates made of black solid wood poured with molten iron, and long suspension bridges pulled by thick iron chains.

The neat and sturdy streets, the endless rows of buildings from the city gates, and the endless flow of people mark the prosperity of the city.

More than two hundred people marched slowly from the main road of the city to the lord's palace, the tall military horses stood out from the crowd, the knights were in a neat formation, cold and silent, from the moment they entered the city, Chris enjoyed the gaze of the civilians who seemed to be short and savvy, and the crowds on both sides of the road would spontaneously stop and bend down as they passed.

Chris secretly sighed, this is the glory enjoyed by the nobles in this world, even if he actually has no title at this time.

This is probably what I said in my previous life, "It's better to fight for money than for my father".

Twenty minutes later, the City Lord's Mansion was already in front of him, gradually getting closer and closer.

The sound of horses' hooves became clearer, indicating that the hustle and bustle around them seemed to have disappeared, and that there was only such a quiet atmosphere around the city lord's mansion in Kibu Town.

On the steps in front of the city lord's mansion, there were already quite a few people standing there, and the one in the middle, with dark brown hair, blue eyes, tall figure, elegant and noble black clothes, and a temperament not angry and arrogant, was none other than the lord of the city, the father of Chris, the Count of Darnell Lorraine.

There was a person on the left, short in stature, less than the chest of the Earl, dressed in an elegant and beautiful pale yellow coat, with a smile on his face, and eyes that had quietly turned red, who would it be if it wasn't his sister Irene.

Half a step behind the Earl were the rest of the nobles of Kibb.

Chris didn't have time to look too much, jumped off his horse, and got down on one knee: "I've seen my father." ”

Darnell put his hands on his hands and said warmly: "Get up quickly, just go home!"

Chris smiled and stood up and walked up the steps.
