Devil's Journey

Chapter 255 Pioneering Knights

Frankly speaking, the situation of the Griffin Kingdom is not good. After the brilliant victory on the southern front, the whole country is a bit overwhelmed.

For the sake of the war, the kingdom raised taxes several times, causing a large number of free people who were not very wealthy to go bankrupt. The nobles took advantage of the situation and turned those self-cultivated farmers into serfs with usury, and those small merchants gradually failed to survive, so they could only join the powerful merchants. The group, from a small boss to a worker.

Victory only brought an illusory hope to the bottom-line people who were struggling on the line of life and death. Maybe after the demons were expelled, the high-ranking king would order tax relief, and those serfs hoped that the nobles would show kindness and leave them Get a little more rations.

Is it just possible?
A large number of noble children came with family guards and serfs recruited from among the refugees. They were ready to eat the cake of victory, even if they did not make any significant contribution to this victory.

But their family's financial, material and power enabled them to enjoy the fruits of victory with confidence.

Because only they have the strength to quickly reclaim the barren south, even Her Royal Highness can only acquiesce to this.

But she still insisted on resettling refugees in the areas she could control, and reduced and exempted many unreasonable taxes, and gave refugees more help in the early stage.

At the same time, the princess also sent loyal men to patrol and guard against evil creatures and dishonest aristocratic forces.

The slanting sun shines into the window sill, and there is a hazy feeling like tulle in the dim yellow. The low-key and simple decoration makes people unbelievable. office.

Her Royal Highness, who was leaning on the sofa chair, seemed a little tired, with her slender hands half-supporting her face, her bright blond hair was slightly scattered from her cheeks, adding a bit of laziness to this beauty. , but exuded a look of calm and prestige.

As the bards sang, Her Royal Highness's face is perfect, the delicate facial features and cheeks are so coordinated, even the most picky people can't find a trace of flaws in her appearance, unless they don't use human body Aesthetic departure.

The slim royal military dress was stretched tightly, and the proud twin peaks were still so eye-catching even in the half-lying position, and the graceful waist-hip curve was without any flaws. The blue military uniform was on her body, but As gorgeous as a dress.

The slender, straight and plump legs were wearing tight white breeches, and the black leather military boots added a bit of dominance to Her Royal Highness.

The setting sun at dusk shrouded the weary princess in an illusory dazzling brilliance, as if it should not appear in the world of beauty.

The gentle knock on the door awakened the pensive beauty, the holy blue eyes suddenly opened, and Ling Lie's eyes returned to indifference immediately.

"Come in!"

"Sir, you... are not a noble from the Griffin Kingdom."

"Heh, did the development order say that nobles from other countries are not allowed to participate?" Julian said coldly to the clerk with disdain.

"But."

"There is nothing wrong with this development order. Is it true? With this development order, I am a nobleman of the Griffin Kingdom. This certification cost me a thousand gold coins. This thousand gold coins are my love for Charlie. The king's loyalty, if you question my identity, you are questioning my loyalty to the king, a loyalty worth a thousand gold coins!" Julian stood up, and his tall figure covered the clerk, making him tremble with fear.

"No, no, I'm sorry, dear sir, sir, I...I need...need to ask for instructions...ask my boss." The clerk who was intimidated also stood up, bent over and said cautiously.

"Then go quickly! I didn't come here to listen to your apology." Julian sneered, then impatiently returned to the sofa, crossed Erlang's legs, and Xenia, who was holding a long axe, gave the clerk an unfriendly look. With one glance, the ferocity revealed in the pupils was without any falsehood, which scared the clerk tremblingly.

Not long after, a fat, greasy middle-aged bureaucrat led the clerk and sent Julian out respectfully. After Julian boarded the carriage and disappeared, the middle-aged bureaucrat wiped his sweat, turned his head and reprimanded him again. The clerk, and then reiterated that he must carefully check the development order, and not allow fake people to mix into Lord Knight's team.

After completing the registration procedures in Visa City, Julian also officially bound his name to the anonymous development order. I have to say that the kingdom is really poor and crazy now, and it can't be sold directly. A registered development order.

As long as you can afford it, you can take the first step of becoming a nobleman. Of course, this first step has killed countless people. The official price of Julian’s pioneering order is as high as [-] gold coins, and the supply is in short supply. It is said that the black market has already doubled the price of development orders, and now Visa City is secretly selling them.

Of course, as a devil, Julian would definitely not spend money to buy it. He usually just robbed it directly, and the same is true for this development order.

One is just a copy of the official cliché, stamped with a magic seal, and the broken certificate with too much ink even dares to sell it for [-] gold coins, and does not provide any after-sales service or security guarantee.

Julian indignantly accused the kingdom's bureaucrats of corruption and depravity. They sold out officials and nobles to corrupt the government. If this continues for a long time, the country will inevitably fail.

"Why don't we grab a few more development orders, and then resell them." As expected of a devil, Julian turned his mind quickly and quickly discovered business opportunities.

However, after consulting Shirley who stayed in the hotel for planning, she had no choice but to give up. After all, there were really too many to grab, and no matter how stupid people were, they could detect problems.

Julian could only sigh and gave up this money-making plan. Not long after, Sharna and Silvia also came back. They were responsible for recruiting mercenary groups and adventurers, but when they came back, the two goddesses did not look very good .

"There are too many pioneer knights in Visa City, and the supply of mercenaries and adventurers is in short supply. It is difficult to recruit qualified ones." Sharna sighed, recalling her adventurous life at that time, because there were too many people competing for business. There are too many, which leads to the very low employment price. The hot market now really surprises her.

Sylvia hesitated for a moment, and then suggested: "Maybe we can recruit some people from the slave market outside the city, and then send some demons with less demonization from the mountain as the backbone."

Julian's eyes lit up when he heard the words, but then Silvia's words disappointed Julian.

"Well, there are no beautiful female slaves. Because of Princess Selena's order, there are no slave markets in the city, and the slave markets outside the city are low-level slave markets. Only high-end auctions can have that kind of beautiful female slaves. There are only because Low-level professionals and refugees who sold themselves or were arrested for various reasons."

Feeling bored, Julian then waved his hand: "In that case, you can figure it out for yourself. Well, some people from the Outer Sect Church will also be transferred, and then you can try to spread the Destiny Cult."
