The gods who travel between the two worlds

Chapter 16 Betting on a Future (4K)

At noon, Su Wen was invited to stay at Mr. Mosang's house for a light meal. Because of this opportunity, he also met a swordsmanship teacher hired by Mr. Mosang for his two children.

It has to be said that as soon as we met, the extraordinary aura on this person had already revealed his identity. This was the first time that Su Wen had really seen a strange extraordinary person other than the Flame Tribe.

But the only pity is that the first time the two met, the impression was not very good.

"Mr. Monderson, I heard that you are a very good swordsmanship instructor in Tiria?"

After the meal, Mr. Mosang's children were going to study cultural lessons upstairs. It just so happened that Su Wen and the swordsmanship teacher were given a chance to communicate in private. However, Su Wen's way of questioning sounds inexplicably provocative. inside.

Sure enough, the swordsmanship teacher Meng Desun narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and began to look at Su Wen carefully, but he didn't wait for him to continue talking.

Su Wen could see that this person seemed to have misunderstood him, and when he realized something was wrong, he even explained: "Mr. Monderson, I am planning to join the Governor's Mansion in the past few days. I heard that you are more knowledgeable and have some experience. I would like to ask, I wonder how the salary here is calculated compared to the old continent?"

As soon as these words came out, Monderson was taken aback, but he reacted immediately, and the hostility in his heart faded instantly. He also knew that he had misunderstood something, so he followed Su Wen's question, He went around wisely.

The attitude is also friendly.

"That's a good question. The salary in the Governor's Mansion is not low, but compared to the old continent, the main problem is the lack of extraordinary elixir and all kinds of alchemy weapons necessary for extraordinary!"

Hearing this, Su Wen was overjoyed. Sure enough, it was indeed rewarding to have a good relationship with this person. The accident of this extraordinary elixir and alchemy weapon was worth the harvest. Afterwards, he continued to ask: "Then, How much is the salary? And how are the extraordinary elixir and alchemy weapons distributed?"

Hearing this, Monderson touched his waist subconsciously, as if he had thought of something, and then, with a helpless smile, he picked up the fruit wine on the table and poured himself a glass. It seemed that he had some experience in it, but still Su Wen explained: "After the superman in the Governor's Mansion joins the job, the salary can be about [-] silver coins per month. Compared with the old continent, the salary is at least four times higher, but the amount of supernatural medicine is probably much less. As for alchemy weapons, don’t even think about it... Didn’t you see that the militiamen in the governor’s mansion are all ordinary magic weapons?”

As he said that, he added another sentence casually, and his tone sounded a little sad.

"As for the New World, it's pretty good, but there are no systematic alchemists and potion masters, and many extraordinary people don't have the necessary resources. Therefore, after a war, the governor usually can only spend a lot of money to compensate the extraordinary people stationed in Tiria... "

As he spoke, Monderson pointed to the distance, and Su Wen followed his gaze, but saw an open field outside the window, and not far from the open field, there was a military camp there. At this time, it seemed that the time had come, just in time A sloppy team could be seen slowly coming out of the barracks.

"Look, originally, according to the imperial system, the militiamen, as the main force of the colony, should have a monthly salary of [-] coppers, plus other clothing subsidies, food subsidies, etc., and the cost should be at least [-] silver coins, which is [-]. A hundred coppers, but now this group of people only have one thousand dead wages, and the magic weapons they use are also a level behind the old continent..."

"This kind of treatment, I heard from Mr. Mosang just now..."

Before Su Wen continued to express his doubts, the kind-hearted Mr. Monderson explained generously: "Mr. Mosang and other local gentlemen did contribute a sum of money, almost reaching more than 800 yuan. A gold coin, but this is only the expenditure of the gentlemen, but as far as I know, it does not include the local military expenditure..."

With a sneer, his tone was full of disbelief and helplessness, and he said in a voice almost growling: "The Governor's Mansion has at least spent no less than 500 yuan in gold coins!"

"so much!"

Su Wen was shocked. Even though he didn't have any intuitive understanding of the world's financial system, he realized something in an instant as he became aware of the prices of extraordinary elixir and alchemy weapons.

"How much did the Governor's Mansion gain?"

This is a critical question.

"From my previous understanding, the natural elixir gathered here by the Governor's Mansion, the alchemy weapons or demonized weapons crudely refined by the indigenous tribes, and the local taxes and taxes may not be able to fill the local financial gap at all... ..."

"Mr. Monderson means...the empire's investment here is actually a loss? Then..."

"Then why didn't the empire take the initiative to intervene and develop this land full of treasures?" Before Su Wen could continue to ask, Monderson was the first to ask the question Su Wen wanted to ask.

Speaking of this, Monderson sighed, shook his head, lost in memory, and said: "At the beginning I studied runes as part of my studies. Although I didn't get professional recognition, my talent in numbers has always been good. Back then It was after first contacting the Director General of Taxation in the Old Continent that he expected...

Since the empire refuses to give up and is still willing to transfuse blood, it means that the empire must open up a new continent and spread the belief of gods. At that time, with this shareholder wind, I will definitely make a lot of money, and I can even wait for the old continent to send alchemists At that time, the wealth obtained was unimaginable..."

Speaking of this, Monderson's eyes were a little blurred.

"Mister's guess is very reasonable..."

Su Wen stroked his chin and felt that the other party's plan was fine, so what went wrong?
"Then do you know how long I've been waiting here..."

Hearing this, Su Wen was startled suddenly, as if he had thought of something, and immediately, a possibility that even he could not have imagined appeared in his mind.

"I wasted 30 years here, 30 years! The expected war did not break out!"

The decadent expression on Monderson's face seemed to have reached the point of sadness. He stood up, picked up a bottle of wine, and poured it into his mouth.

Regardless of the wine soaking the skirt of his chest, seeing himself in such a mess, Mondson looked a little puzzled and let out a mouthful of alcohol.

"When I came here, there was still a regular army stationed in the empire, but now, they have all been replaced by militias. There are also many people on the street who speculated about the war before and invested a huge amount of money, but in the end, they They're all bankrupt..."

Hearing this, Su Wen immediately understood. No wonder it was the result. He couldn't help but look at the swordsmanship teacher with pity in his eyes, so he made a bold guess like this. I'm afraid the person in front of him must have borrowed a loan shark .

Otherwise, with the network of relationships in his words and his attainments in rune literature, why bother to be a swordsmanship teacher here? From this point of view, he in the old continent may be beaten to death by debt collectors as soon as he shows up. .

"More than 30 years of expenditure, and those people who invested before... This Ibis Empire is really richer than I imagined!"

As for why there is no war yet, I am afraid that the gods are not ready yet. In addition to this undeveloped land, the leaders of the Ibis Empire still support the existence of the pioneering point, and they are probably gambling. A future now!

"But this kind of relationship can't be maintained for a few years now..."

Inexplicably, Su Wen thought of the destroyed Flame Tribe. Generally, the beginning of this kind of conflict is probably the beginning of a future war.

Thinking of this, Su Wen quickly asked: "Mr. Mondson, how many militias are there in Governor Tyria?"

"militia?"

Hearing the sound, Monderson muttered for a while, thought for a while, and replied: "I think there are about 700 people..."

"More than 700, only 350 silver coins a month. Compared with the huge expenditure of gold coins, it is really... a desperate gap."

Su Wen remembered what Monderson said just now, the bulk of the expenditure is probably on the subsidy of the extraordinary, so there must definitely be a lot of extraordinary here, but the strange thing is that he doesn't seem to have seen many.

"I remember, when the elders of the Flame Tribe held the Black Iron Ceremony, the group of transformed young people seemed to go directly to the battlefield?"

Thinking of the Black Iron Ceremony, everything in his memory began to become clear immediately. Su Wen frowned, thinking of something instantly.

Although in my memory, the group of young people by the bonfire were just newcomers to Transcendence, no matter how weak the Transcendence was, they were stronger than mortals, and their role in the war was huge.

However, the militiamen here all use magic weapons, which can increase the distance. In an instant, Su Wen thought of a merchant named Shaluoke that day, who had a magic weapon in his hand at that time.

Just such a small thing can make me feel dangerous and fearful at that time, so how can a militia of hundreds of people, carrying a large number of demonized weapons, cause any harm to low-level transcendents!

The results speak for themselves.

"From this point of view, I have to enter the Governor's Mansion... Moreover, if I can learn how to make magical weapons, it will also be beneficial to the extraordinary supplement of the earth and stars! There are also alchemy workshops, extraordinary elixir...

It's such an interesting world! "

On the streets at night, as expected, a group of wandering hyenas began to appear. The so-called hyenas are actually gang forces in the Tiria colony. , showing a pug-like posture, and still trying his best to show his favor to Su Wen from a distance of a street.

"Maybe the ancestors of this group of people are the descendants of those gamblers back then..."

I learned from Monderson that the Old Continent has private investment in the New Continent. Although they have gone bankrupt for generations, in theory, as long as these people can wait until that day, then the things they have are valuable.

Of course, whether to admit it or not is also a question.

"Maybe, I can build a manor like Mr. Mosang, but the manor still needs to bear the military expenses of Tiria, which is a bit difficult!"

At least so far, Su Wen is still a pauper.

……

"A strange Transcendent, interesting!"

In front of the pier, the governor stared at the last cargo ship going out to sea, showing a bit of coldness.

"The loss here is not small, and someone came to the door. It's a coincidence..."

In terms of military confrontation, they were indeed victorious in attacking the Flame Tribe and the surrounding natives, but what they did not expect was that the totem patron saints of these tribes were actually so powerful.

If it weren't for the fact that the side still has the hole cards, I'm afraid the Tiria colony will be retaliated against. At that time, the empire will pursue it. If he is not good as the governor, he will have to shed a layer of skin.

"Mr. Governor, after statistics, this is the list of meritorious service and the list of goods..."

Just at this moment, a deputy who was sitting by his side, holding a candle and had just finished writing quickly, quickly handed over a thin piece of paper.

The governor took the paper, glanced at it casually, nodded while looking at it, very satisfied, then took out his own seal and pressed it lightly.

I saw that the red ink pad was a little dim, and the Governor spit again and covered it.

In this way, the seal was stamped and the work in front of the dock was over. The governor turned around and left, taking a team of personal guards directly under him, and slowly walked towards the mansion.

Different from the militias in the colonies, the governor's personal guards are completely in accordance with the standard requirements of the regular imperial army. During their actions, the militiamen on duty at night on the pier showed a bit of envy.

The next day, the governor sat on a woolen chair, looked at a job entry form in his hand, thought for a while, got up and stood in front of the window, staring at a figure in the distance, but strangely , the governor stared at Su Wen in the distance like this, but the latter's extraordinary perception was unaware, and he didn't respond at all.

Until the moment Su Wen turned around, he only vaguely saw a figure staring at him, but the moment he turned around, the figure disappeared.

"This is?"

Su Wen's heart tightened, as if he had realized something, but his face remained calm.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's the governor's office, and this guy is also an extraordinary person, and he's not even weak!"

Feeling the pocket at his waist, feeling the cold touch of the chubby little cutie, Su Wen suddenly felt that with his current wealth, he seemed to be able to buy a house in Tiria.

"Also, you can also take a look at the official archives..."

Su Wen remembered that Monderson said that although there are many supernatural beings here, most of the time, they have their own affairs to deal with. After all, the official only pays money, and will not replenish supernatural elixir and alchemy weapons. There are no such things , in this extraordinary world, how can we stand.

"Now the governor's military campaign to conquer the tribe has just ended. If you are lucky, you may be able to meet a few superhumans..."

On the other side, in the Dalo family's manor, Sharlock received the news the moment Su Wen appeared in Tiria.

"Hmph! A remnant of the Flame Tribe dares to appear openly..."

"Mr. Shalock, this is unlikely, right?" A person beside him heard this, and objected aloud: "I read this person's employment slip, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with it. Although the history is vague, it can be roughly checked. The remnants of the Flame Tribe, how dare he?"

"Hmph! You mean I lied to you?"

When Sharlock heard the sound, his expression darkened instantly. Looking at these people, he said coldly, "Don't forget, this man has been to Mosang Manor!"
