Chapter 15 Private Soldiers and Economic Issues

The night of Leiming Port is coming, and people who have been busy all day have returned to their nests. With the rising smoke in the city, there is a feeling of warmth and happiness. After all, after a hard day, they can return home Eating a hot meal is the best interpretation of happiness for ordinary people.

Port of Thunder does not occupy a large area. This is the border of the Kingdom of Stormwind. It has a small population of less than [-] permanent residents. Some of them live near the port outside the city. The main purpose of the city is to defend against monsters. designed for offense.Within the two-kilometer city wall, there are only three sparse streets and alleys, and the surrounding areas are even sparser residential buildings. There are even agricultural lands closer to the city wall. The mature black jade wheat is just about to be harvested. A piece of wheat swaying in the wind.

The whole city is surrounded by several stone buildings of the Governor's Mansion and the Political Center. The only building that can be regarded as a bit imposing around the city is the three-story stone fortress called Thunder Sword. It is a member of several professional guilds Jointly built office space.

In this remote place, only rich and powerful characters like the Professional Guild and the Adventurer Guild can afford to use this kind of luxury materials to build this kind of valuable building.

In this building in Port of Thunder, the auctioneers from the Adventurer's Guild and the Commerce Federation occupy the treasure land on the first floor, on the second floor are the offices of various professional guilds, and on the highest third floor It is an exclusive area for the nobles and rich people in Port Thunder. All the expensive magic items and some gleaming luxury items are sold here.

The Thunder Sword is protected by the clerks of various professional guilds, but it is said to be the safest place in Thunder Port, even the governor's mansion, and there are not as many senior professionals here, so merchants on the third floor are willing to spend a lot of money to rent it. venue, to avoid unnecessary troubles and harassment from unscrupulous small forces.

At this time, Leiding brought Sha Rui to the shop on the third floor. They came here only to obtain some funds. Unauthorized changes were made, and the price given by the Kleinsus military directly became a [-]% payment when it arrived at Thunder Port. This made Leding intolerable, but he had nowhere to vent. The clerk couldn't put all the money in his own pocket. no.

Redding, who only got 150 gold coins at that time, in order to appease and show favor to these mercenaries who followed him all the way, took out all his belongings, 350 gold coins, to make up for the amount deducted from Thunder Port, and gave those poor mercenaries The soldiers went down.

Among the remaining nearly 200 people, there were forty captives. Each of these captives received a commission of one gold coin, which was regarded as the coolie fee for their help in transporting supplies, while each of the other living mercenaries received two gold coins, of which The six unlucky guys who couldn't continue their mercenary career due to their disabilities received an additional severance pay of one gold coin.

The remaining 150 gold coins are reserved for the families of those warriors who died in battle. Most of these dead were sacrificed while fighting against the undead army. Their bravery cannot be unrewarded, although they have made contributions to Port Thunder , but their family members will face a more impoverished situation. This move by Ledding has won the approval of all the mercenaries.

This improvised force exists legally before the call-up order is lifted, and Port Thunder is unwilling to support this force. Even Captain Lance has been dismissed by the noble council of Port Thunder. As for the mercenaries, Ledding deeply understands what an armed force at this time means to him!This means whether it is possible to protect Thunder Port from the impact of the beast tide and stand still!It also means whether he can get the only chance to control this enclave in the North Klein area.

In the eyes of others, it was a crazy move, but Ledding executed it without hesitation!He took out all the assets under his own name, including the tuition fees given by his family.When Sha Rui and Angela saw Leiding's actions, they both thought that Leiding wanted to recruit their own private soldiers, so they also gave their full support and did not persuade him in any way.

At this moment, Riding doesn't have any money, but there must be a source for the maintenance costs of the 140 six mercenaries including Angela!But Sha Rui, who was in a hurry to get angry, mentioned it to Leiding several times, but Leiding avoided talking about it, just saying that he has a way, so don't be impatient.

But at this moment, Laiding came to this place that sells luxury goods. Sha Rui was a little worried. After all, Laidin didn't have any money left to buy gifts. Could it be that he was going to sell some treasures.Feeling anxious, Sha Rui followed closely behind Ledin, guessing what was going on in his mind.But the person under suspicion didn't feel nervous at all, his usual indifferent expression and a slight sense of distance from strangers were well expressed on Ledding's face, and he walked slowly into the VIP room on the third floor.

"What are your orders? My lord." The waiter saw the two young men coming in in the VIP room, and hurriedly greeted them politely.

The waiter carefully observed the identities of the guests. From their clothes, it can be seen that the man is a descendant of the old nobleman of the Stormwind Kingdom. The storm tattoo on the edge of the collar can well illustrate this point, and the lightning bolt on his cuff The logo is the identity symbol of the Storm family in Northland Lightning Fort; and the lady who came with him seemed to be obedient to this man, either a lover with a deep relationship or a husband and wife, and the big crystal on the hem of her samurai uniform With the logo, one can tell that it is a descendant of the Christo family.

"Call your manager to come over and have a conversation. You should be at the supervisor level. I have a business here, and the amount of gold coins involved is not small. Generally, managers can't make a decision." Ledding said calmly. The waiter got the information he wanted, and immediately He pulled the rope on the right side of his hand, and said to Ledding: "Then please wait a moment, I will go and see if the supervisor is free."

The waiter retreated respectfully, at this time a servant came up to buy tea sets and brought tea to Laiding and Sharui.

"Ledding, what treasure do you want to sell? In fact, I still have some private money here. If you need it urgently, you can take it." Sha Rui whispered to Laiding on the side, after all, she sold the family's treasures in exchange for gold coins. , it is not a matter of honor for any noble family.

"Sha Rui, don't worry. The things I prepared this time have nothing to do with the family. They are all gadgets made by myself. You have also contributed to it. Don't worry, I promise." Ledding reassured Sha Rui, this girl's feelings for her have become more and more clear as time goes by.

"Then tell me what it is." Sha Rui's curiosity was hooked.

"Well, I'll see you later anyway, and you're still so impatient." But seeing Sha Rui's eager look, Ledin still gave in to the girl's will, "Okay, okay, I'll just show you."

As he said that, Ledding took out a small cloth bag from his small bag and put it on the table. Sha Rui reached out to take it, opened the bag, and poured out the contents.

"Hey, it's actually a skeleton rune, one of the four bronze steps and one black iron step. Where did you get such a precious and rare thing!" The five skull runes condensed a dark aura on the table, faintly The evil spirit is full of mysterious beauty, in the middle of the brow of the skeleton, in the small piece of condensed necromancer essence, the pure power of death is slowly flowing away like running water, and ordinary nobles like to collect these magical treasures. Gadgets of power, and the thing in front of him is one of the necessary items for a rune mage to make a magic circle.

"Aren't these just left by those damned undead on the road! You have done your best." Ledding said calmly, but Shari's eyes widened after hearing this.

"Could it be that you know alchemy? Ledin, no wonder you asked them to collect skeleton heads when you were cleaning the battlefield. It turns out that you have a way to extract the essence of undead. Ha, you are actually an alchemist. It's amazing." Shari was overjoyed when she got the news, if Laidin was an alchemist, then they really wouldn't have to worry about money, after all, alchemy can produce a lot of things as long as it can get the materials All are in short supply.

"It's a pity that the level is not high. Only the elementary level can refine some elemental products and elemental essences, and the rate of refining is pitifully low." Ledding was a little embarrassed. It took so many materials to make it. Such a small product, if it was ridiculed by others in previous games, but here it is praised by Sha Rui, what a shame!

"Huh? This is the smell of the essence of the undead! Great, we need this thing here." A voice sounded outside the door, followed by an old man with a white beard, his face full of excitement.

The waiter chased after him and said, "My lord is busy, let our chief appraiser, Master Ham, identify your goods."

At this time, Ham had already grabbed the skull rune on the table and looked at it, and started the appraisal over there. Soon the old man finished his work and said to Redding: "Well, the top-grade skull rune, Four bronze ranks, each priced at 50 gold coins, and one black iron rank, each priced at 200 gold coins. If you agree to this price, I can make the decision, and we will accept them all. We just need the enchantment of cold weapons , These undead essences are just in use!"

Hearing this, Redding nodded to Ham, and said, "The price is fair, but it's a bit extortionate to use skull runes when you want to enchant cold weapons! This is the best material for a magic circle." , unrefined undead essence is much cheaper than this thing."

Ham nodded, accepted the five skull runes, ordered the waiter to get the gold coins, and then said to Ledding: "It's not that those young masters have nothing to show off. A few days ago, I suddenly discovered that the enchantment effect of cold weapons is very good. The light is shining, with this weapon, it will be the focus of attention wherever it goes, so the materials for this thing are in short supply for a while, as long as we can make money, of course we will not hesitate to use other expensive materials instead.”

Redding didn't say anything, smiled and took out a large roll of parchment from the bag on his body, and handed it to Ham. The old man was stunned for a moment, but when he saw what was in his hand, he immediately yelled, " Oh my god, it’s actually an enchanting scroll of ice weapons. Boy, you’ve made a lot of money. We’ll collect one hundred gold coins for each. There are fifteen enchanting scrolls in total, worth 1500 gold coins in total. Waiter, come on! business."

Of course, Ledin had no objection, and he never expected such a deal to be made. The enchanting scroll of this ice weapon was made by Ledin after practicing the inscription skills with the fur of the monsters he killed on the road.In this world, Ledin feels more and more that everything in the game is far away from him, and all the skills here seem to be related, unlike in the game, as long as you master one, you can bring out its final effect , in this world, Ledding felt that if he wanted to use his enchanting skills, he must have the support of a master in the fields of alchemy and inscriptions.Apparently, Redding has forgotten that there is something called coordination in the world, and his lone ranger mentality made him embark on the path of refining various skills.

After the great battle on the road to escort supplies, while refining the skull runes, a large amount of undead essence escaped in the air due to Ledin's unskilled technique, and Ledin, who felt it was a waste, mixed these undead essences The magic energy is engraved into the scroll of the ice weapon. This necromancer essence is not very useful in enchanting, and there are only a few places where it can be used. From the material point of view, only the ice weapon is the most suitable thing. After all It only needs two raw materials, undead essence and magic energy.

The enchantment of ice weapons is usually not used unless there are special circumstances, because this thing can make the weapon shine with the light of ice. Once you take it out on the battlefield, you will become everyone's target. I didn't expect Thunder Port Talented people, actually thought of using this thing to attract other people's attention, it's really powerful!Ledin sighed involuntarily.
