chapter 9 trade

Under the light of the golden lion, almost all people will be dim. Not only because of his sun god-like appearance, distinguished life experience, and high strength, but also because of his kingly demeanor, which is like spring breeze and rain, which makes people heart-broken.

The black flame behind Orfiloc was burning silently. Even the golden lion's brilliance cannot hide it. The face in the flames is so beautiful and cold and proud that people dare not stare at it, but it is engraved in their hearts. A few aristocratic scoundrels took a sneak peek from time to time, and then looked away hurriedly, as if their eyes were burned by the black flames. The black mage robe cannot hide the peerless charm. Those straight legs and slender willow-like waist are turning people into beasts all the time.

Roger, Luns, Folan and Ette sat awkwardly. The sudden visit of the golden lion was really surprising. Several people hurriedly asked Orfiloc to sit down and asked for the best refreshments.

The golden lion took a sip of tea, his leisurely movements flawless. Guard Richard opened a small bag and poured out dozens of small gems of various colors on the table in front of everyone.

Orfiloc said with a smile: "I am here this time to discuss the possibility of partnership." The room suddenly fell. "These gems are worth about fifty thousand gold coins, which can be considered as my deposit."

Rogge finally took his eyes away from the gem, calmed down and said, "What you can't do, we seem to have the ability to do it." As soon as the words came out, Luns rushed to cover him. Roger said, "Ignore him. If you have anything to do, just ask me. I , Luns, will fight through mountains and fires without hesitation!" His mouth was impassioned, but his eyes were fixed on Iris.

Orfiloc looked at the few aristocratic scum with great interest. He had never found anyone who dared to stare at Iris like this. It was true that the ignorant were fearless. The eyes of Luns and several other people began to show fascinating gleams. Orfiloc clearly felt the murderous aura spreading behind him.

"Of course, my cooperation is conditional."Orfiloc made a gesture, and a person behind him placed a large sheepskin map on the table. He pointed to a castle sign in the center and said: "This is a small abandoned castle. It is the territory of my Principality of Bavaria. It was recently occupied by a group of thieves. This castle is 415 miles southwest of Falborg. It is not far away. 10 miles away is the Demonic Forest. Although the geographical location is not important, there are two small towns and dozens of villages nearby. I don’t want to give up thousands of my people, so I need you to take back this castle. Those five Ten thousand gold coins of jewelry is considered your starting cost. As for whether you go by yourself or pull up a group of heavily armored knights, I don’t care. The commission period is only half a year."

Orfiloc continued: "As long as you capture the castle, I will ask my father to seal the land to you." From now on, you will be nobles with fiefdoms. And I will invest 100,000 gold coins in the Hammer of the God of War, which will be considered as my principal for joining the company. I want half of the income rights, haha. "

Several people were filled with excitement when they heard this, and they immediately gathered around and started studying the map. Naturally, they didn't figure out the reason for a long time. Orfiloc always looked on with a smile, but a guard behind him showed a hint of disdain.

Ette suddenly raised his head and asked: "How can we defeat a group of thieves if we don't have any soldiers? Ah, by the way, how many are these thieves? Do you have any relevant information?"

Iris said coldly: "Have you just remembered that you should ask for information now?"Ette face turned red. Orfiloc still answered calmly: "That bandit group is actually a brigade of the Ice and Snow Silver Fox Mercenary Group of the Principality of Ron. It has about 500 people and has very good combat effectiveness. Of course, in the past six months, they have continued to increase their numbers. The possibility of soldiers."

Roger pondered for a moment and asked: "Be it thieves or mercenaries, they should not be in the eyes of the Golden Lion. If you go there in person, you can scare them away even if you are single-handed."

The golden lion smiled faintly and said: "This is just a small test. If you do it, I hope that the Grand Duchy of Bavaria can have a few more loyal ministers and good generals."

The pupils in Folan eyes immediately shrank: "The Principality of Bavaria?"

"Yes, the Principality of Bavaria."

The temperature in the air dropped sharply, and a silent undercurrent surged.

Luns became unusually serious. "The Principality of Bavaria has a lot of elite soldiers, and there are as many strong men as clouds. Even His Excellency Orfiloc's subordinates can't deal with us easily. Although we are very unsatisfactory, we still have this self-awareness. Besides, The brothers don't have any lofty ambitions. They just drink and play with girls every day and live a comfortable life. You're not short of a few of us, are you?"

Orfiloc glanced at the few noble scum and said: "I really admired the fight you had in the "Old Oak" tavern, and I think you are good talents. Besides, in a short period of time, the Hammer of War has become so prosperous. Naturally, it will not come from nothing. Managing a big country is like cooking a small delicacy. Whether it is to govern the world or to run a weapons assistant, it is nothing more than grasping the hearts of the people."

He paused and continued: "Think of it, life is only a few decades long. The wine needs to be mellow, and the sword needs to be famous. Even if you are jealous, you still need to fight for a world-famous beauty. How can a mediocre woman, even if there are tens of millions of them, be able to match her?" A charming smile? Now as long as you pass a small test, the opportunity is right in front of you. What do you think?"

Everyone's blood boiled instantly!

Roger suddenly raised his head and stared into the eyes of the golden lion. Even though the light stung his eyes, he did not flinch at all. "I did it."Roger said word by word.

Folan sighed, "Oh, how could I let you die alone? I have to get your money back after you die."

"It's a pleasure to meet all the beauties from all over the world!"Luns said with great momentum. The whole room was immediately filled with sour smell.

Ette sat down heavily on the chair, making all his gestures, but before he could express his position, the chair could not withstand it and fell apart. Ette chuckled and was too embarrassed to say anything anymore.

"In that case, I'll look forward to good news."Orfiloc waved his hand and turned to leave.

Iris suddenly stopped and stared coldly at a few noble scum. Several people immediately felt cold all over, and shuddered in an instant, but found that their bodies could no longer move. Iris sneered, and with a flash of black flame, the bodies of several noble scum were slowly lifted into the air. A cold voice sounded in her ears: "I don't know why Orfiloc values ​​you so much. With your current strength , not much different from a reptile, how much stronger will it be in a few years? Besides, you clowns dare to look at me like that!!" She never heard her chanting a curse, Suddenly a giant palm appeared on each of the four people's heads, slamming several people to the ground.

Iris turned and left, the black flames jumping, as if still laughing at the few people who couldn't get up on the ground.

The mood of several people slowly calmed down and they looked at each other. Ette asked: "Roger, why did you agree so quickly just now?"Roger old face turned red: "Orfiloc is a real power, one of the best in the alliance. We are a great aristocrat, and we are based on the local title. It is rare for people to think so highly of us. How can we usually have such an opportunity to curry favor with us." The rest of the people felt the same way. As for Orfiloc possible treasonous intentions, Roger and others did not care. Even if he did rebel, the Principality of Bavaria would have a greater chance of winning. After all, Orfiloc's mother was the sister of the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, one of the three great powers.

"Maybe we can even get a founding hero or something."Luns, who was daydreaming, suddenly said. Everyone agreed. As for Kate, "Blessed are we, and we can escape this kid."Ette said sinisterly.

"The more people we bring this time, the better. I think we should also organize a mercenary group, so that it can be easily explained officially."Folan suggested. After a few more discussions, they started to act separately.

As the days passed, Roger and others were having a great time recruiting troops. War God's Hammer has earned more than 20,000 gold coins in the past few months. With Orfiloc's 50,000 gold coins, it can equip a hundred-man cavalry team. Either openly or secretly, Roger managed to acquire 30 skilled mercenaries within a month, and the mercenary group was initially organized. As for the name of the mercenary group, several people had a very noisy discussion, and finally adopted the name "Dragon and Beauty" with a vote of 4:1. The one who voted against it was Folan, the only aristocrat with real artistic taste among the few, but unfortunately he was alone.

But what left Roger at a loss was intelligence. So far, the specific number, leader, abilities, and equipment of the thieves occupying that small castle are unknown. Even the terrain nearby isn't very clear. It’s not their fault. After all, these guys have just started their careers and don’t know where to start collecting information. After there was no news from the two scouts sent one after another, several people began to feel restless. After several discussions, we finally decided to take all the troops on a reconnaissance trip.
