Chapter 107: Who's the Fool?
Legends are appealing because bards know people's preferences and surnames very well, and of course, the stories they tell are based on real historical facts, and they have no life in making up stories, but they have their own unique tricks in the way they tell stories, and the most common ones are to ignore time and space, and reduce the stories that happened over a long period of time, or even a year, into a day or a few days.
For example, when the abyssal race was raging on the earth, the living space of various races on the surface was greatly reduced, and the huge dungeon under the Holy Crown City was the masterpiece of the abyss race, and vampires, black crows and other creatures belonged to the remnants of the abyss race.
Just when the intelligent race on the ground was overwhelmed, the twelfth-order powerhouse and god of war Alabham was born, and played an irreplaceable role in several decisive battles that determined the life and death of the race, and finally drove the abyss race back to the ground.
In the legend, the experience of the god of war Abraham has been completely deified, he just showed his prominence yesterday, led the army to defeat the invasion of the abyss race, and tomorrow will start a major counterattack, as if Abraham completed miracles in a few days, and in fact, the war between Abraham and the abyss race lasted for seventeen years!
If Lei Zhe is also qualified to be the protagonist of the saga, then his killing of Mayor Thomas in the Tenth Town will be described by the bards as a feat, or a glorious starting point, and then Lei Zhe will have the power not inferior to the four city lords, and tomorrow, Han Jin's small group will become the de facto master of the Bait League.
In fact, the contradictions will not come out so quickly, and various forms of open and secret battles also require a lot of time to pave the way, and Lang Ning sent many messengers to send letters with different contents to the commanders and generals who belonged to the Riptide Legion. If it is the direct descendant of the commander of Conrad, Lang Ning will focus on the grief and determination of Lei Zhe; if it is those generals who have been appreciated by Conrad, Lang Ning will shift the focus to the humiliation of Knight Conrad's bones, and say that he will hold a new funeral for Knight Conrad in the near future, hoping that they will bring people back to attend; if it is those generals who may be enemies or friends, Lang Ning will spend a lot of time denouncing Rudolph's shamelessness and vigorously criticizing the maladministration of the four major city lords of the Beit League.
As for those who are destined to become opponents, Lang Ning is too lazy to waste energy on them, he is no longer a child, and the political contradictions cannot be distinguished by simple justice and evil, just like opponents, they don't care what kind of person Knight Conrad is, and he can do whatever he wants.
It will take at least seven or eight days for Lang Ning's letter to be delivered to the generals, and when they have considered it and decided their position, they will write a reply to Lang Ning, which will take about a month, that is, the first step of the battle will take a whole month to pave the way.
Han Jin and a few others are living very happily now, in the words of Mo Xinke, there is someone behind Lao Tzu! Lei Zhe is respected as the young marshal, he is definitely the uncrowned king of the Ninth Town, Mo Xinke can often hook up with Lei Zhe, in this Ninth Town, do you need to be afraid of anyone?!
So, Moshinko thinks that now he is qualified to fall, and he is obliged to fall, to eat, he wants to eat the best, to drink, he wants to drink the most beautiful wine, and as for playing with women, of course, he has to pick the youngest and most beautiful bar girl, but unfortunately, it often turns into a farce later. Sylna's sense of smell can be described as magical, no matter how much Moshinko drinks in the bar, Sylna will not appear, but as long as Moshinko calls the bar girl over to accompany the drink, it won't be long before Sylna will stand coldly behind Moshinko, making Moshinko miserable.
In fact, in this kind of thing, women have women's reasons, men have men's reasons, and they can never fight who is right and who is wrong.
After making trouble a few times, Mo Xinke also learned to be obedient, just drinking on his own, and easily not teasing those bar girls.
On this day, Han Jin and Mo Xinke walked into a bar in the town together, Han Jin just came out to take a breath and relax himself, so he sat for a while and went back, and Mo Xinke was not finished and continued to stay in the bar.
There weren't many mercenaries in Ninth Town, and most of the guests in the bar were officers of all ranks from the Riptide Legion, and there weren't many locals, because the customer base was limited, and the competition between the bars was fierce, and the variety was endless.
Now, there are a few barmaids standing at the wine table, shaking their waists desperately, lifting their skirts from time to time, seducing the officers below, and the officers let out a series of strange screams and heckles.
The military discipline of the Riptide Legion is extremely strict, but this kind of thing that you are willing to do is not subject to military discipline, and the root of life must be vented, otherwise it will distort people's surnames. Those who forcibly ask others to be eliminated in the name of heavenly justice and justice are often despicable and shameless, they only ask others how to be, but they never lead by example.
Mo Xinke drank the last sip of ale wine, took out a dozen silver coins and threw them on the table, he still has to practice swordsmanship tomorrow, he should go to bed early.
At this moment, a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance and even more ordinary clothes stood opposite Moxinke and said with a smile: "You are Lord Moxinke, right?"
"It's me, what's the matter?" said Moshinko, looking up and down.
"Can I sit down and say?"
"Yes, sit down. Moshinko waved his hand.
The middle-aged man sat down: "I heard that you are a person who likes to go straight, so ...... I'm not going to beat around the bush with you. ”
"I do like that. Moshinko smiled.
"That's right, I have a shipment that needs to be sent to the Twelfth Town, and I've been looking around the town for a while, but I haven't found a suitable mercenary. The middle-aged man paused: "Can you help?" Please rest assured, you don't need to worry about the commission, as long as I can get it, I will definitely meet your requirements. ”
"You give me as much as I say? Moshinko grinned.
"Of course, with your character, you wouldn't deliberately embarrass me, would you?" said the middle-aged man with a smile.
"Don't you think you should introduce yourself before we talk about business?" said Moshinko softly.
"My name is Justin and I'm the head of the Morgan Merchant Group of the Beit League. ”
"Mo ...... Morgan Merchants?" Moshin almost bit his tongue.
"yes, what's wrong?" asked Justin in surprise.
"It's okay, it's okay. Moshinko snapped his fingers and motioned for the barmaid to bring another dozen ales, and he looked at Justin as he sipped the ale, but never spoke.
Justin wasn't in a hurry, just quietly watching Moshinko.
"Get your goods from here to Twelfth Town, huh?"
"Yes. ”
Mo Xinke pondered for a moment: "More than a hundred miles, so let's do it, a fixed price, two hundred gold coins!"
Justin was stunned and said with a wry smile: "My lord, in fact, I just want to ask for peace of mind, there are no thieves on the road at all, you want this price, is it too high?"
"Do you think Lao Tzu will put this money in his eyes?" Mo Xinke picked a thumbs up: "It's just that I'm idle, I just want to go out for a spin, if Lao Tzu is short of money, go to Lei Zhe and say, isn't it how much you want?"
"I know, I know. Justin looked a little embarrassed, in fact, he really wanted to agree, but the price was too outrageous, although Moxinke looked stupid and easy to deceive, but when he sobered up, he would definitely be suspicious.
"Agreed, we'll sign the contract, if you don't agree, you change places and sit down, don't hinder me from watching the show!"
"My lord, actually...... In fact, you don't need to send the goods to the twelfth town, just send them to Meilin New Village. ”
"Meilin New Village, it's only more than sixty miles away from the Ninth Town, right?"
"yes, yes. ”
"That's 200 gold coins, which is a bit higher. Moshinko thought for a moment: "In this way, a hundred gold coins!"
Justin opened his mouth, and what he wanted to say turned into a helpless wry smile: "That...... Okay, but I'll tell you earlier, I paid you for the 100 gold coins, and no matter how many people you get, I can only pay 100 gold coins!"
"Besides, who is enough for a hundred gold coins? ”
"That's good, that's good. Justin took out a cloth bag from his bosom, looked left and right, and carefully counted out fifty gold coins: "This is a deposit for you, and I will pay you the rest of the money after you deliver the goods to Merlin New Village." ”
"It's time for us to sign a contract now. "Moshinko was rummaging for something.
"No, no......" Justin laughed.
"No need?" Moshinko said in surprise, "At least I'm going to write you a receipt, right?"
"Hehe, who are you? How can you put this money in your eyes? Besides, we will have a chance to cooperate in the future. Justin laughed.
"That'...... All right. ”
"That's it. Justin stood up: "My lord, my goods will leave tomorrow morning, you see...... Where am I waiting for you?"
"Which gate are you going from?"
"South Gate, of course. ”
"Tomorrow morning, I will be waiting for you at the south gate. Moshinko yawned as he spoke.
"Okay, then you pay attention to get some rest early. Justin nodded repeatedly, then said a few more kind words before walking out of the bar.
Moxinke lazily put away all the gold coins on the table, then raised the wine glass, blocked the back of the wine glass with one hand, carefully looked at his own image on the wine glass, and muttered to himself in a very low voice: "Great Mosinko, do you look really stupid......"
