Moments later, all the freedom fighters and foot knights of the 'méng' of Ak were gathered and assembled on the 'cào' field. 4∴8065 Please see that there are more than 300 people to choose from on this site, and Richard walks in front of everyone as usual, asking them about their skills, family backgrounds and specialties one by one.

This process lasted for more than an hour, and Fasqi, who was watching like Nereus and Aga "Mén" Nong, was amazed by Richard's incomparable patience and meticulousness.

Richard finally picked out 26 candidates, including 17 freedom fighters. Their common trait is that they have the four necessary construction slots for a Construct Knight, but they are not the most gifted of the group, and their carrying capacity can only be considered qualified. Half of the people in it are limited to around level fifteen. Even if they develop to the end and get the best results, they will only become the construction knights of 'jing' rui, with a power close to that of Noland's ordinary 'luo' armor sanctuary.

But for an army, this is the most suitable backbone. If they were more powerful, they would be difficult to command when they approached the Sanctuary, such as the Thirteen Horsemen of Gordon.

Richard asked the old butler to take out the spare standard armor and weapons from the family warehouse, and equipped everyone with complete equipment. There is still a day left before the return to Faro, and if the craftsmen on the floating island work overtime, they will have time to modify the places that are not suitable.

When Richard returned to Gordon's study, he had finally taken care of everything.

He took out a piece of magic paper and carefully wrote down the things and people he would bring with him on his trip to Faro for final confirmation. Seeing the supplies on this list, Richard already had a rough idea of how much money he would make when he returned to Faro. It was a huge profiteering, almost outpacing the profit he made for the royal family.

The material cost of a set of barbarian barriers is less than 200,000 gold coins, but the overall effect is stronger than that of ordinary second-order construction knights, so the official price is also about one million.

According to the agreement, the royal family would provide Richard with about five sets of materials, that is, materials close to one million gold coins in exchange for a set of barbarian barriers. Therefore, the success rate of the builder determines the profit margin. Materials exchanged for non-agreed builds, and the royal will recycle them at a slightly lower market price.

Richard's ultra-high success rate can ensure that the cost of a set of sets is less than 200,000. On the face of it, it seems that the royal builders did not get as much as the public auction of the fabrics. However, the real benefits of this position lie in status, privileges, status, and a myriad of rare materials that simply cannot be purchased.

What's more, in Richard's hands, even if he makes a build for the royal family, he can make crazy profits.

The reason why Richard is in a hurry to return to Norland is because the "jiāo" of the interdimensional plane is the source of real profiteering. Only with the support of this huge profit can his strength and power expand to the fastest extent.

Of course, there are always positive and negative returns. In addition to the many benefits of this return, Richard also gained an enemy who was also a royal constructor, Luneau. During his more than a decade as a royal constructor, Luneau amassed a wealth that supported his research, his students, and the forces that gathered around him.

Although some forces can use interests to divide or co-opt, the long-lasting intertwined relationship cannot be shaken by just throwing gold coins, which takes a lot of time, and what Richard lacks most now is time.

There are so many things that need to be done, but the time of the seven "sè" and "jiāo" moons is constant.

It's just that Richard's biggest advantage is that he now earns profits several times or even more than ten times faster than Luneau, and when wealth and power are accumulated, he doesn't have to worry about Luno or anyone else. Not only did Richard have a much higher success rate than Luneau, but the high success rate also meant that the time it took to draw the build was drastically reduced. According to Neris, Richard estimated that he would paint a second-order construct in roughly half the time he did, if not less.

Efficiency is also the source of profit.

Richard buried himself in calculating the benefits of the Plane Journey, and calculated the amount of combat power that could be converted into it, and what percentage of it should be retained for more income. Getting the most out of a particular point in time is a complex issue, especially with so many factors to consider, even with Richard's ability, the time to calculate is measured in hours.

At this time, in the old butler's office, Coco was standing uneasily.

The old butler, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, was perusing a piece of paper filled with dense layers of numbers. After a few moments, he finished reading the last line, then wrote a number on it with an ink pen and handed the paper to Coco.

Coco took it, and after just one glance, he knew that it was his family's recent income and expenditure details and some important events. And the number written down by the old housekeeper is the family's financial deficit in the most recent quarter.

In the big events, Sensi Arc 'Méng', Coco's half-brother, does not currently hold any position in the 'Méng' family, and constantly resides in the knight's domain. Two months ago, he tried to rob the "nv" of a local civilian farmer, and finally succeeded in forcing "jiān", and in the process, he severely injured and disabled his parents. The case is being heard in the local noble circuit court.

Pierre Ak'méng, the German knight, Coco's father. Owning a small territory and earning a small amount, even with the salary of the deputy captain of the Black Rose Castle Guard, it is far from enough to support the kind of luxurious life he is living now, and the loss of money is not enough to make up for the income of three knights.

The Knight of Peel did not go bankrupt due to a huge deficit and was able to maintain a luxurious life because of a grant from the Ac'méng' family, or Gordon to be exact. This grant has been paid for a year, which is several times the income of Peel Knight. Recently, the limit was raised again, and a quarter's payment was prepaid.

This subsidy comes from Coco being sent to Faust and placed on the partner shortlist. Originally, her qualifications were very reluctant, but due to the fact that the Peel Knight had been serving steadily for many years, she still received a certain amount of care, and after all, few people in the unruly "méng" de were willing to do a position similar to that of not going to the battlefield for a long time.

Originally, it was an obligation of every "méng" de "nv" person, but conservatively only for "nv" people who really have a strong "méng" bloodline. With Gordon's successful entry into the floating island, and a firm foothold in the plane of "Si", after starting to have a stable income, he began to increase subsidies for his partner and trained a large number of infantry knights.

Since Gordon, the warriors on the floating islands, as well as all 'NV' people who qualify as partners, have been able to receive a quarterly payment. This amount of money is probably not much for a baron, but it is not a small income for most knights. For Acre "méng", who was originally only a commoner, this is a huge amount of money that can completely change the living conditions of the family.

So Gordon got a large number of foot knights, but unexpectedly, many people sent "NV" to the floating island in exchange for subsidies.

Many branch families without titles are actually very thin in the bloodline of Ak's 'méng', because as long as Ak's 'méng' virtue has the ability to awaken the bloodline, he will at least get a knight's collar as a fief to support a ** branch.

The reason behind Gordon's doing this is that he wants to see more Ak' 'méng' de, who has awakened his bloodline ability. The purpose of training a knight in foot warfare is to give the young Ak' 'méng' a better opportunity to exercise and display his talents, and on the other hand, to provide a job for the poor free 'méng' warrior to spend his old age in peace. Many of the instructors who taught the Infantry Knights were free fighters who were injured or disabled, or who were too old to venture into battle.

Both of Gordon's initiatives were aimed at the prosperity of the whole of Acéng, but all the burden fell on his shoulders.

After the announcement of these two measures, a large number of branch families who had a little blood relationship with A'méng' Dede tried to send their sons or 'nv' sons to the floating islands in order to get subsidies, and their numbers were so large that Gordon had to set a minimum standard for preliminary screening to screen those who were really unqualified.

Some time ago, the family elders meeting, the voices against Gordon came mostly from the branch families that had screened out their children or "NVs......

Even after screening, the total amount of the subsidy was still staggering in the more than two years that Faust had been stationed, and it became a heavy burden for Gordon.

This expenditure is one of the few points of contention between the Legendary Mage and Gordon. Su Helen believes that her money is for investment, not for Gordon to help her people.

It was against this backdrop that Coco landed on the floating island. And her unexpectedly being chosen by Richard as her partner indirectly tripled the family's quarterly allowance. The amount of subsidy received by the partner 'NV' is indirectly linked to the strong blood of both partners before they have children. Richard's Acre "méng" virtue is recognized for its strong bloodline, so even the harvest of cocoa has also increased greatly.

The old butler lifted his glasses, glanced at Coco again, and said, "Peel Knight's expenses have increased by another 30% this quarter." The interest on the debt alone has reached 3,000 gold coins per quarter. If this continues, the fixed subsidy may not be able to alleviate the knight's financial situation. ”

Coco Qingxiu's face was full of anxiety, and he didn't pay attention to the subsidy, but pointed to the column of family affairs, and asked eagerly, "Lord Butler, how is my brother now?"

"It's a bit tricky. The old butler said slowly, "What I have heard is that Mr. Sensi has recently been publicly saying that his sister is the most proud student of His Royal Highness Su Helen, and she is also the 'NV' person of the family's great constructor. And the way he acts...... Well, there are a lot of things that are wrong, and there has been public outrage in the local "ji". ”~t
