Law of the Devil

Chapter 490 [The Real Knight (Bottom)]

“Is there any other cost?” Du Wei sighed.

"Yes! Of course!" Delong smiled: "There are many people in the association's knights associations. The knights responsible for the assessment, they want to eat and drink Lazarus, to feed such a large group of people. The Knights Association of the mainland now has a total of more than 600 knights to be raised! These people's armor should be repaired? Are the weapons repaired regularly? And how can their horses be a knight? How can they not have a horse? More than 600 a year The cost of human beings is almost equal to a medium-level knight! At least 30,000 gold coins are barely enough to live! We can only support the limited expenses in the life of the people... The horse is really unable to care! Adults, You are also a soldier, you know, to support a horse, the cost of one year is more than one person to feed!"

Du Wei nodded involuntarily.

"In addition to the knights in the association, there are some normal handymen in the associations. You can't expect the noble knights to sweep the windows in person. These people now have a thousand on the list of associations across the mainland. Forty or forty people, the annual expenses are about two or three thousand gold coins. Of course, these are very few. We try to hire some cheap labor."

"I know that my reputation in the Imperial Capital is not good. Many people say that I buy and sell the Knight's Rank Badge. It is a knightly spirit, but I can't help it." Deron frowned: "Adults, to maintain such a big shelf, every year. The expenses must be at least 100,000 gold coins! It can only be barely let everyone eat and eat, and barely maintain this shelf! But 100,000 gold coins, where do I get it? The army can give up to one or two thousand gold coins per year. The blessing of the Regent King now opens up the legitimacy of the mercenary group. Now there are more people applying for the Kay rank every year, but the income for this year is only four or five thousand gold coins. The deficit is more than 30,000 gold coins! The 30,000 gold coins, where do I go to get it?"

Deron said that in the end, a look of sincere expression, watching Du Wei, like the eyes of the child looking up to the same sincerity: "Adult. You said, I can not buy and sell Knight badges? I am not a clown, can you mix?" ”

Du Wei is completely speechless.

Deron said that he was excited and suddenly hit the armor on his chest with a strange smile: "Adult, I said that the armor I am wearing now looks like it, but you don't know, In order to save costs and material costs... This armor looks stylish. In fact... the iron plate inside is hollow! Don't say that it is a weapon, you take a solid wooden stick, just poke it is a hole!"

Du Wei: "..."

The headquarters of the famous Knights Association is in the south of the capital.

It can be said. From the point of view of the area, it is quite in line with the name of one of the two mainland organizations of the "Continent Knights Association".

At the headquarters of the Knights Association, the theme building is a square tower with an open patio in the middle of the tower. It is surrounded by a row of three-storey buildings. Themed buildings are built from sturdy granite and look extremely sturdy and, if wartime, are quite defensive.

And the area is quite large, if you ride around the headquarters of the Knights Association, you need about a mile of tea!

Such a large piece of land, in the mainland's first Xiongcheng Emperor, the price of this land is already very valuable.

unfortunately. When Du Wei came to this famous "Continental Knights Association Headquarters", he was almost shocked by the scene!

This... Is this the holy place of the solemn knighthood?

This... this is simply the vegetable market! !

I saw this square building, and the wall that changed from the street to the street was opened, and the houses inside became various shops! There are selling cloth, selling gestures, selling jewelry, selling food, selling handicrafts... even selling vegetables! !

Du Weiyi rounded his eyes. Pointing to the front... The screaming and screaming of the past is coming. Crowded.

The Deron Knight’s face had no guilty look, but he smiled smugly: “You look at the adults. We are here.”

"This... this is..."

"This is our knight headquarters!" Deron stood up.

"I thought I saw a vegetable market!" Du Weidi's voice was a bit ugly.

"This is no way." Deron sighed: "This land and house cannot be sold according to the law. Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, I can only open the wall facing the street and rent these houses into shops. Adults, don't underestimate these rents. Many of the people in our Imperial headquarters are dependent on these rents to support them!"

He said that he had already left the horse and took his old horse to the front.

What made Du Wei and his majesty's guards stunned was that the Deron Knight had walked all the way, and it seemed to be like a duck, and he kept saying hello to the bosses of the shops.

"Ah! Uncle Cannon, business is good! Haha..."

"Sophie amnesty, this month's rent is about to expire... Ah, I will send someone to collect it tomorrow."

"Dick boss, this batch of cabbage looks very fresh... ah, send it to me? Thank you, hahahaha..."

Looking at the president of the Continental Knights Association, Du Wei suddenly remembered a profession that he knew in his previous life: the farmer's market administrator!

Delong greeted these small traders, and he took some cabbage and other things in his hand, and turned back to Du Wei: "Adult, we are here, don't stand, come in."

Into the door of the Knights Association, the sound of selling and drinking outside is still coming, Du Wei's face is ugly. Deron was calm and casual, and threw the food that he had just touched to the old man who was at the door. He smiled and said: "I cooked at night! Haha, I saved another meal today. ”

After listening to this, Du Wei's face is very weird. The taste in my heart is a bit more complicated.

Entering the door of the association, Du Wei carefully took a look at the patio as the thick wooden door behind him closed.

It is about the size of two football fields.

Obviously, in the era of the knight's glory, such a large open space is used to practice martial arts for the knights, and generally can also be used as a racecourse. Unfortunately, now... it has covered a piece of simple wooden shed.

"What are these wooden sheds doing?" Du Wei frowned. "Is it a living person?"

"Living people? Of course not." Deron smiled bitterly: "Adult, now there are only six people at the headquarters of the Knights of the Imperial Capital! But you see. Such a large knight association, such a large building, at least one thousand people can more than enough Six of us, just find a room to live in. This wooden shed is not for living, but... warehouse."

"Warehouse?" Du Wei was speechless again.

"It's the land, it's the warehouse." When Deron talked about this matter, he looked like a breeze dance: "The blessing of the regent king! Since he took office, the emperor has become more and more prosperous, and businessmen from all over the mainland have gathered together. The emperor is coming! But then the price and land price of the Imperial Capital are rising! You think, so many merchants come to the Imperial Capital, they have to pile up a lot of goods! But the price of the capital is now so expensive! The rent has also been turned over several times! The merchants are complaining. In such a situation, I have a chance to move. Do we not have a large open space here? Anyway, idle is also idle, it is better to cover a suggested wooden shed for renting out. When I am a warehouse! I am not at all mad! I can rent a rent that is 30% lower than the market!"

Looking at Deron's face intoxicated. Du Wei almost vomited blood.

Warehouse... warehouse! !

"Fortunately, there are these warehouses! You don't know, we are now looking at the rental income of these warehouses for the repair cost of this building!" Deron smiled and tied the old horse to a pillar. Next.

Du Wei sighed: "Lord Deron, these warehouses, starting tomorrow, you will ask the family to return the goods. After all, we have to rebuild here. This...somewhat is not quite like."

"Retreat? This is not so easy to do." Deron was a little embarrassed, and there was still a bit of smile in his eyes: "You don't know, the goods here are all chambers of the aristocratic family with some heads and faces in the emperor." I signed a contract with them, but I can't retire... And, so many big people, I don't dare to offend."

"You are afraid of offending people, I am not afraid." Du Wei said faintly: "Who owns the goods?"

"No, these are the arsenals of the Deland Hills Warcraft family! The iron ore in the yard is all! Ah. These are the goods of the Chamber of Commerce of Villa. It is some wood from the South. ""

Du Wei pointed to the front of a wooden shed... This piece of wooden shed has the largest area, and the other pieces add up to the sum!

Du Wei didn't have a good air: "What about it? Which one?"

"This..." Deron smiled and looked at Du Wei. His eyes were a little weird: "Tulip Dagong... This pile of wooden sheds is the goods of your family... I only had your family business last month. Mr. Xiaozhak signed a contract. Because my rental price is cheap, Mr. Zach has been here for three years!!"

Du Wei: "..."

In Du Wei's heart, after all, it is the imperial mainland knight association! Two major organizations in the mainland that share the same name as the magic union! Even if it fell again, Du Wei did not expect to be decadent to this extent!

He has been to the headquarters of the Magic Union for many times. What kind of style is it, how majestic is it?

But look at this again... Continental Knights Association headquarters?

Vegetable market? Hosting a large warehouse?

At this time, Du Wei suddenly felt a move, he noticed that Deron Knight's eyes seemed to carry a strange smile.

In an instant, Du Wei suddenly seemed to wake up and understand what it was.

His face was calm and he waved his hand, letting the old smoke and other guards behind him back down.

Du Wei slowly walked a few steps, gently touched the simple wooden shed, and suddenly said: "Deron Knight. I suddenly found out that you are very commercial."

Deron smiled and didn't speak.

"Actually... I have heard a lot about your story. To be honest, in those stories, there is nothing to say to you."

Deron shook his head and smiled. "I am used to it."

Du Wei looked down and thought, frowning: "I think that you are carrying the title of the president of this association. It is a drag, a burden! With your intelligence, you are tied to such a It’s a pity that it’s a bad ship! With your wisdom, if you are willing to go to my family to do some commercial business management, you won’t spend much time, you will definitely become a famous big businessman, and it’s always better than supporting it here. The shelf should be a hundred times stronger."

Deron didn't talk.

Du Wei continued slowly: "I thought you were a corrupt villain, a locust in the Knights Association... but today I saw everything here. I realized... you are willing to act as a clown. But I am painstakingly maintaining such a mess... Lord Deron Knight, please accept my sincere apology!"

Said, Du Wei deep down his head.

The smirking expression on Deron’s face disappeared.

When Du Wei looked up, he asked: "Deron Knight. I am very curious... The Knights Association has been down for hundreds of years! It is reasonable to say that this is not the case in your hands! At least When you were young, it was rotten! But when you were young and promising, why did you choose to stay on such a sinking ship?"

Du Weidi’s voice is very sincere and there is no disguise.

Deron finally sighed, and there was no such cynicism in his eyes, but a dignity.

Slowly, the president of the Knights Association spoke up.

"My teacher, the former president of the Knights Association, he adopted me and cultivated me... and the teacher had a total of nine disciples. Unfortunately, after the other eight people grew up, they almost could not wait to escape this ghost. Place! I must admit that... I also wanted to leave here! Because it seems to me that the so-called Knights Association is already finished! There is no possibility of revitalization at all! But..."

Deron suddenly leaned over and flew away to the tears in his eyes, and took a deep breath. He slowly said: "Before my teacher died, I took my hand and he begged me to stay. Begging I inherited his clothes. I will do my best. Keep this stall! The teacher said to me before the death: Although the Cavaliers are not there, he firmly believes that there are still many people, and the spirit of the Cavaliers will survive in their hearts! ”

He said, he seemed to smile again, and his smile was a little frivolous: "To tell the truth, I don't believe it! I don't believe there is any knight spirit in the world! But the teacher's pleading before the end, I can't refuse! So... I will stay here, inheriting the title of a 9th-level knight, a position of the president, and becoming a head of the Polish Knights... Until today, my hair has begun to white... because, I promised Teacher! I promised him!"

When I heard this, Du Wei suddenly felt a shock!

"You... support too hard!" Du Wei sighed, and then did not hesitate, he suddenly went over, his hands pulled Deron's wrist, word by word solemnly said: "Deron Knight! I I have to say that you are the most respectable 'Knight' I have ever seen in my life! Although the world sees you as a clown! But in my eyes, you are a noble knight! At least you have promised! ”

Yes, it is a promise!

A word is promised, keep it forever!

This is the real knight!

Looking at Du Wei's eyes, Deron finally sighed, and he held Du Wei's hand tightly...
