This witch calls me daddy

Chapter 349 Becoming the Banker

During this meal, Lu Ye felt weird.

It was exactly as the king said, all kinds of meatballs, all kinds of intestines, and all kinds of fancy ways of cooking potatoes.

Forget it, even pickled pepper peanuts and spicy dried tofu were served on delicate silver platters by the royal attendants in a serious manner. Lu Ye didn't know what to say...

Otherwise... find an opportunity to show off your cooking skills to Sophia's parents!

It is estimated that it is possible to find a job as a chef in the royal family!

The atmosphere at the dinner table was more like a family dinner. Sophia was complaining that even the windows in her apartment were leaking and the walls were about to collapse. Could she please use some budget to repair them? His Majesty the King said with a grimace that the expenses for this Kingdom celebration were all frugal and he needed to ask your mother for the money, but his father was helpless. Before her biological mother expressed her position, her aunt hurriedly said that Princess Eisley's wedding was imminent and the expenses were not small. However, the first princess found an in-law who was impoverished and could not help at all. The Black Queen could only keep a cold face. , dropped a bomb:

If the marriage with the Luolai family fails to be negotiated, it is best to return some gifts, otherwise you will not be able to repay them.

As soon as this was said, the whole table fell silent.

Lu Ye was nearby and his eyelids jumped.

He felt that his family background seemed to be more than enough to marry a princess!

But when I looked up, I saw at least six attendants standing around the dining table, standing tall and solemn the whole time, ready to pour wine and change plates for the king and queen at any time, as well as the splendid decorations all around. I felt that the royal family's heritage was still there, and they should not be looked down upon.

We ate a meal amidst this awkwardness, and after the meal, prompted by Sophia's crazy eyes, she accompanied the Fat King and took the two dogs out for a walk.

The green grass, the towering palace, the fences and guards in the distance all show the dignity of this place, and even the shepherd dog on hand is treated unusually.

The two of them walked around in the courtyard of the Kijima Palace, one by one, with the royal bodyguards guarding them from a distance, with a warning distance of more than 200 meters.

There was no one around, except for two men and two dogs, so the king's tone of voice became casual.

"You don't have to worry about what the queens think. Although the Western Continent royal family has never lacked infighting and strife, it does not apply to our family. This is the secret of the Gustar royal family being able to pass on for such a long time."

Lu Ye smiled softly and nodded in agreement.

Sophia's family environment is really good.

At least the king and the queen are not annoying, but I don't know what the sister is like who I haven't met yet.

"But you must also take care of the dignity of the royal family. Pregnancy before marriage must not occur. If there is really a sign...then get married as soon as possible."

The king's words made Lu Ye choke and almost cough!

It seems that the scene of opening the car door still left a shadow on the king, otherwise it would not have been involved in this matter!

As the two walked, they came to a training ground, which seemed to be a training place for the Royal Guards. From a distance, they saw two men from the Western Regions sparring shirtless and holding wooden-wrapped weapons.

One person holds two wooden swords, while the other person holds a single sword and shield. It really looks a bit medieval.

When they got here, King Gustar became interested, stopped to watch, and waved to a few guards from a distance.

The training of the guards did not stop because of this, the two of them were still playing ping-pong-pong with each other non-stop.

It seems that everyone has become accustomed to the sudden appearance of the dog walking king.

The old king looked at the two sparring men and smiled proudly: "When I was young, I could fight against four royal guards!" After speaking, he glanced at Lu Ye, "Where are you? How do you compare to them?"

When Lu Ye heard this, he looked at the two duelers. They were all using ordinary ancient weapon fighting skills, which focused on reaction speed and skill, without the rhythm of magic.

If it was just a hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons of this level, even without the use of time magic, just his flesh and blood body, packed together by everyone present, should not be enough for him to shed a drop of sweat.

Lu Ye smiled shyly: "It's hard to say, probably two or three."

Su's father has put it here. If a young man can hit four, if he wants to say a number greater than four, is his emotional intelligence too low?

King Gustar laughed when he heard this, looked at Lu Ye and nodded: "You are not upright."

Lu Ye also laughed, but he really didn't dare to tell the truth for fear of scaring you, the old man. The king's eyes widened and his beard blew: "Don't look down on the good men of our city. They are all fierce warriors!"

"How could it be? I have worked with mercenaries from the Northern Army in Hamed. Their tenacious style and optimistic and adventurous spirit left a deep impression on me."

Yes, Lu Ye is talking about Heidibao. If I remember correctly, he seems to be a retired air service member of the northern city-state.

The king nodded with satisfaction and continued to lead the dog forward: "But these good men are a big problem for us now."

Lu Ye was startled, not understanding where this question came from, and waited for the next step.

King Gustar looked into the distance and spoke in a rich voice: "In the northern city-states, there has been a tradition of hiring spearmen in battle formations since ancient times. The brave warriors gain fame on the battlefield, earn rewards, and even gain recognition from the royal family. Appreciation, this is the most accustomed way for us northerners to make a fortune. In modern times, this has not only become a tradition, but also a way for the country to quickly obtain wealth. In the era of constant war in the Western Continent, the mercenary battle flags in the north are very impressive. The fearful death flag!"

Lu Ye nodded, continued to listen carefully without interrupting.

"However, with the passing of the pioneer era, the North and South China Continent is no longer a paradise for gold diggers. The back gardens that once took risks to hunt for treasure have become overt or covert colonies. Agents are everywhere. The North and South Continents have become It has become a battlefield where the Western Alliance countries secretly compete with each other. In this case, it will be difficult to do the mercenary business."

These few words can be said in Lu Ye's heart. Isn't the destruction of the hyena the most ready-made portrayal?

The king continued: "There used to be mercenary associations in the city-state. At most, there were more than 300 mercenary organizations, which could even provide hiring services for shipping and even escort. But now, there are fewer and fewer mercenary companies, and some are After the market broke up, some of them had no way to survive, so many young men had to go out to be lone wolves and work together with others. The superficial reason is that the market situation is not good, but the essential reason is that there are bankers playing the game, and retail investors are very worried. Easily eaten.”

“If it’s really hard to do, why not change careers?”

Lu Ye felt that actually killing people on the battlefield was not considered serious work, so there was no need to hang him from this tree, right?

The king shook his head slightly: "The city-state has a military strength of 12 including overseas troops, but it has to support nearly 200 million retired soldiers. If these soldiers no longer have jobs such as employment, training, arms, transportation, and maintenance, it will become For very unstable social groups, we still find other jobs for them, and they have to learn from scratch.”

Having said this, he looked back at the two shirtless guards fighting against each other.

Lu Ye also looked along and understood what he meant.

The killing skills these people have learned and practiced diligently are meant to be used on the battlefield. The sad thing is that these people can do nothing but go to the battlefield. The most typical example is Jialan, a mercenary girl who has been practicing since she was a child. Rolling around on the battlefield with her biological father, she probably couldn't think of any other way to die other than dying on the battlefield.

Lu Ye felt that he roughly understood what the king meant: "So, you hope that my company can help you absorb more retired soldiers and provide you with jobs? I am willing to help, but first, our scale is still small. The number of troops that can be digested is limited. Secondly, we all work for the banker, and the warriors in the north... are not as useful as the tribes in the plains."

The northern city-states are still Western Union people, and they are still a highly sensitive group of people in the central-south and central-northern regions. Compared with their own Yeluzi team, they are still a little out of touch with the masses.

Many things would be much more convenient for Duha, or even Donghuang people like Yidong and Mengcheng to do, to infiltrate, infiltrate, and investigate. But if they were all tall, tall, blond, green-eyed northerners, this appearance It is eye-catching, not to mention the disguise, even if you are on the street for no reason, you may get hit.

Of course, Lu Ye also has a trump card, which is his and Karina's magical two-skinned skills, as well as the girlish disguises of his daughters, which are incomparable to the northern warriors.

The king shook his head slightly and denied his conjecture: "If you can contact Western Union for a commission, we can also directly participate. You don't need to be a second passer. In fact, we give Western Union peacekeeping troops, Agricultural Food Organization, and Peace every year Development foundations, health organizations, and various investigative teams send troops. These institutions are the big customers on behalf of the bankers. But they alone are not enough."

Lu Ye thought the same thing. What he could do, the city-state's mercenary company could probably do, but he didn't have any outstanding advantages.

"Then...what exactly do you need me to do?"

The two finally came to a wide pasture, and the Fat King leaned over, opened the locks on the backs of the two shepherd dogs, and took off the leashes.

With a flick of his hand, the Frisbee flew away rapidly. In an instant, the shepherd dog was really a wild dog, running away at will!

The Fat King chuckled and said, "I need you... to be the banker."

Lu Ye saw the Frisbee flying dozens of meters away in an instant, being caught by the flying hound, and then landed gracefully. His heart was turned upside down at that moment:

Make a banker?

You think I'm stupid, right?

You clearly want to walk me like a dog!

　Dealer: You have to buy a broken car going uphill, and you have to sell a good car going downhill! I'll call this one. If you believe me, brother, vote!
