Returning to Snakehead Town, Mulali was so excited that Duke immediately gave her a half-day off and asked her to go back to reunite with her parents.

As for Duke himself, he has a lot to do in the town.

The Duke O Mage Farm was handed over to Sally to manage, and the little Samshoka shop was managed by the Black Snake family, but how to develop it needed to be arranged by Duke.

He went to Master Duke's Farm first, and almost the entire left part of Little Creek Farm's farm was included.

Sally already has the demeanor of a strong woman, wearing labor cloth clothes, looking very sassy.

"The Black Snake family has come to let us plant a large area of sour plasma blood spirit fruit on our farm, and the standard subsidy is set very high. So there is no need to worry about planting on the farm this year, I also cooperate with James Farm and share the same batch of spirit plant envoys. ”

"That's good, Sister Sally, you're doing a good job."

"It's not that I'm doing well, it's the noble status of the boss, the master of the Arc, who has brought everything to the farm." Sally said matter-of-factly.

If it weren't for Duke's promotion to Arcane Mage, how could there be such a high subsidy for planting sour plasma blood spirit fruits, and how could James Farmer be willing to share the spirit planters.

"Anyway, I'm relieved that the farm is managed." Duke stood in the attic, looking out at the farms in the distance.

There is still a sense of intimacy in my heart.

This is where he started.

At this time, Aunt Abi, who was wearing an apron, hurried over: "Boss, my dear Master Aom, you are back!" ”

"Hello, Aunt Abi."

"I'm fine, that is, boss, are you still used to eating in the city? You used to eat my cooking. ”

"Haha, I ate well in the city, and of course I miss Aunt Abbey's cooking." Duke responded with a smile.

Compared with the hierarchical service in Beverly Manor, he still prefers the time when he is on the country farm, talking and laughing with Aunt Abbey, Sister Sally, Levine and others, without so many rules and constraints, which is very comfortable.

"Will you stay on the farm for dinner tonight?" Aunt Abi asked expectantly.

"I'm afraid it won't work tonight, I have an appointment, but tomorrow morning, I can have breakfast here."

"Ah, that's great, I'll go get ready!"

Aunt Abi came over in a hurry, and left in a hurry, Sally couldn't help but laugh: "Aunt Abi has been talking about you for a long time, and someone in the middle wants to poach her to be a chef, but she doesn't want to, she just wants to cook for you." ”

"Dig Aunt Abi to be a chef?" Duke wondered.

Aunt Abi's meal is the most ordinary peasant meal, and there is nothing outstanding about it, so can you be a chef?

Sally smiled: "It's for the boss, the cook who cooks for Master Ao will definitely attract guests." ”

Duke chuckled.

After a while, an entourage came over to report: "Master, the leader of the Broken Sword Mercenary Regiment and others have brought it." ”

"Invite them to the study." Duke commanded.

"Yes."

Soon, Duke was in the study and met with Captain Xena and the other four 1-ring knights. These five people are the main force of the entire Broken Sword.

"Orvis, Philip, Leon, and Diliconte, they're all the deputy heads of Broken Sword." Xena introduced it on her behalf.

The four 1-ring knights saluted Duke in unison.

Duke returned the salute and asked, "Captain Zina told me in an owl message that you have agreed to the form of subordinate sponsorship?" ”

"Yes, sir." Orvis was the oldest and had a large beard.

"Then sign the contract." Duke didn't talk nonsense, nor did he examine the meaning of these big knights, and directly signed the contract of contract.

The character of the great knights, or even the conduct of the entire Broken Sword, had no effect on him.

He just sponsored Broken Sword and let Broken Sword collect resources from the forest for himself, and once the arcane mage engaged in research, the resources needed were huge.

The contract is signed.

Duke officially became the sponsor of the Broken Sword Mercenary Group, and he ordered: "The salary will be paid monthly, and for the time being, I only have one task assigned to you, to capture a cub of a 1-ring spirit beast, and you need a cub that can be contracted." ”

"Yes, my lord, we will arrange the task as soon as possible, what type of spirit beast cub do you need?" Xena asked.

"Carry-on type."

The knight's contract companion spirit beast is roughly divided into three types.

Riding types, such as horses, tigers, pigs, etc.; Carry-on types, such as Duke's pocket, cannot be ridden, but can fight side by side; Support type, such as the previous cantharid's Gu Knight Tanros, his contracted acid cantharid female.

"Okay, we'll go into the forest and catch it as soon as possible."

"In addition, you will act in a step-by-step manner, take more tasks from the mercenary mission center, and obtain benefits."

"Understood."

"In addition, I will send a financial staff to the logistics department of Broken Sword after a while, oh yes, do you know the little Sam Xiuka shop, that's my shop, and in the future, I will go to the little Sam Xiuka shop to take the internal discount price."

"Thank you for your generosity." Zina said happily.

In exploring the forest, the biggest consumption is the spirit card, and the cost of repairing the spirit card alone is a lot of money every year.

Duke thought for a moment and added, "This farm is also my property, if you have nothing to do, come here more often, and help me drive away those uncivilized idlers." ”

"Yes."

"Alright, the matter of functional work is over, Commander Zina, tell me how the war is going on on the front line?" Duke leaned back in his chair, ready to listen to the story.

The pioneering war was a big event, and he was naturally very concerned.

And he hadn't forgotten that Chick's grandmother was an ancient spirit in Cuihai Valley, and if there was a chance, he hoped to find Chick's grandma.

Of course.

The spirit of the ancients is too precious, and he will not fight for it if he doesn't have a good opportunity, otherwise he will offend a high-level arcane mage and won't be able to draw it.

Zina narrated the situation for more than a month: "...... The crypt marching ants that had blocked the way were almost completely cleared, but as more and more safe passages were opened, a large number of crypt marching ants still roamed. ”

"Fortunately, the cantharids with the Bernoulli Mage Tower can barely drive away the crypt marching ants, but they are very stubborn and often run back."

"As for the 7-ring Black Jade Scorpion King, it has been dormant, but it will show up from time to time and attack the mines and camps."

Xibidiling Mining Company can't wait to drill and mine in Cuihai Valley.

Now the arcane mage of Shenjiao City, and the Bernoulli earth arcane mage from Angry Horn City, are in the period of cooperation, Bernoulli needs the support of Shenjiao City, so Xibidi can mine spirit ore at will.

Once the Pioneer War is over, the Seven Towers Federation will divide the Cuihai Valley to Bernoulli, and at that time, Bernoulli will need Bernoulli to mine the spirit ore.

In short, the two sides have both cooperation and heart-to-heart.

Duke had spoken to several arcane mages before and knew the inside story. The arcane mages of Shenjiao City formed a group, and they were naturally unwilling to give up the dominance of the Cuihai Valley Exploration War, but there was no suitable arcane mage in the local area, and they needed to create a family.

So he was inserted by Bernoulli from another region.

Once the Pioneer War is launched, it will be a major decision of the Seven Towers Federation, and the arcane mages of Shenjiao City will not dare to disobey the decision of the Federation.

You can only obey and grab benefits at the same time.

"Didn't the Bernoulli Mage Tower make a move?" Duke asked.

No matter how strong the 7-ring Black Jade Scorpion King is, he can't be stronger than an Earth Arcane Mage, even if there is a difference of 3 rings in the level of each other.

After the third watch, ask for a monthly pass~
