Warhammer Throne

Old world, empire, Prince Rick collar, an ordinary village in the west of Rick collar.

The winter season in January is still frozen, the villagers are hiding in the warm room this season, enjoying the fire and the aftertaste of the winter curtain festival, every household closes the door, and travelers can only see the high rise Cooking smoke.

The Rick collar is rich and rich, and even in the winter, there are many militia groups that spontaneously organize patrols in the village.

Rick and Ivy are the richest provinces in the empire. The number of self-cultivating farmers is the largest here. Farmers only need to pay taxes to the emperor or the elector. The local lords can only collect trade tax and poll tax. Self-cultivating farmers Cultivate your own land, and then sell agricultural products in village markets or town fairs to make profits and accumulate wealth.

But because of this, the self-cultivation farmers will not be protected by the army of the nobles. Unlike Brittany, whenever the serfs encounter threats, as long as they ask the knights for help, the knights will generally be dispatched if it is not a special case. This There haven't been many changes in the rules of the country for thousands of years.

The empire is different, especially in wealthy Rick collars. The nobles pay less attention to the life and death of the self-cultivators. Some nobles even hope that the self-cultivators will die, so that they can occupy the land of the self-cultivators.

In this case, the self-cultivators must arm themselves to protect themselves, or ... hire an army to protect themselves.

In the blizzard, a demon hunter on a thin horse approached.

He had some unnatural paleness on his face, carrying two swords behind him, a two-handed steel sword, and a thin silver sword, with short hand guns hanging around his waist, he was wearing a set of brown scales, head He wore a pointed hat.

The demon hunter is obviously heavy. At least his skinny horse has some unstable feet. In the snow, the demon hunter rode his own thin horse and came to this ordinary village.

He looked anxious, and when he came to the gate of the village, the demon hunter immediately turned over and dismounted, splashing a pile of snow on the ground.

"It's a demon hunter!"

"The Demon Hunter is here."

"Perhaps the job can be left to him."

The villagers whispered and discussed the arrival of a demon hunter.

The empire is more familiar with demon hunters than Brittania. While the villagers hate the demon hunters often abuse their power, looking for traces of corruption and corruption, and hope the demon hunters can help them solve various problems and hidden worries, This complicates the villagers ’senses of the demon hunters. When they are needed, they will have a good complexion, and when they are not needed, they will wish them out.

The devil hunter travels all the year round. He has never suffered from all sorts of white-eyes and discrimination. This is already commonplace for him. He didn't think much about it, but walked quickly towards the sign in the village.

There are several notices on the notice board, that is, someone in the town is buying piglets.

Emperor Karl Franz was recruiting the transport team.

Hemgart urgently needs a group of gutter cleaners at a favorable price.

The demon hunter looked anxiously for a while, and finally saw a reward order underneath.

"The trail of the orc appears 15 kilometers away from Rickward Forest. It is very likely that the orc tribe is active. The village needs manpower to investigate the activities of the orc tribe. If it can bring back the beast orc At the first level, the bounty adds an additional 30 gold marks. "

"Bounty, fifteen gold mark."

The demon hunter breathed a sigh of relief, and he tore off the notice in the onlookers of many villagers.

He found the head of the village. The head of the village was a middle-aged man with white hair. He was standing at the door of the biggest house in the village. He was wearing thick woolen clothes and a soft hat.

"Is this notice issued by you?" The demon hunter came to the village chief and handed a reward notice.

"Yes, this is posted in the village. Are you going to do it?" The village chief shrugged. He did not have a good attitude towards the demon hunter, but just barely maintained a situation where he could communicate: "If I want to do it, I can send someone to you. Point out the direction, if not, please post the notice on the bulletin board. "

"I do." The Demon Hunter said quickly. "Since I took the notice, I'm going to take this commission."

"But you still want to bargain?" The head of the village shook his head: "Everyone said that the devil hunter is greedy, a demon who eats people and does not spit out bones. Say, devil. What conditions do you want to talk about?"

"There are too few fifteen golden marks. Normally, this task requires at least twenty golden marks." The scar on the face of the demon hunter was very fierce, but his tone was relatively small. He tried to bargain with the village chief. .

"That was the previous price, and this is the price now." The village head looked rather dull, and he said towards the demon hunter: "Fifteen gold marks, a lot, enough for you to spend three months."

"Can I get more?" The demon hunter tried to bargain: "In winter, weapons become cold and muskets are not easy to use. I need to take a lot of risks to enter the forest. This is also for the safety of the village. I need more Some money to make adequate preparations and maintain equipment. "

The village chief looked at the demon hunter. He first focused on the demon hunter, and then looked at his equipment and scars on his body. Then he nodded: "Okay, considering that you are also risking your life Dangerously enter the forest to deal with the beastmen. The village can give you three more golden marks, but you must leave before sunset tomorrow. "

"Deal ... and." The demon hunter nodded in agreement, he looked hesitant.

"What's the matter?" The village head had already turned around, so he had to turn back again: "What are you asking for?"

"I haven't eaten from noon yesterday to now ..." The demon hunter was a little embarrassed. He was very hungry. He had run out of money. There were only a few pieces of brown bread left on his body.

"What's your name?" The village head suddenly asked.

"My name is Eber, from Helmgart." Said the devil hunter.

"Mr. Abel ... How can I complete the task without enough food? In this way, I will ask the hotel in the village to get you some food first. The fee will be deducted from your commission."

"Okay!" Ebel was very grateful for the village leader's sympathy. He nodded gratefully: "Thank you very much."

"Thanks don't need it, you don't have to take me as a heretic and chaotic believer." The village head turned around again and wanted to go back to the house.

At this time, a dense horseshoe sound came from the village door, and the village head had to turn around again. He felt a little dizzy.

Eber, the experienced demon hunter, immediately realized that there must have been a nobleman.

At the entrance of the village, a group of noble knights riding horses with high heads were entering the village. The noble headed by a noble horse riding a pure blood elf warhorse, wearing a Briton silk dress and a white fox fur coat, holding a thunder light The surging Warhammer, the Holy Grail Knight badge hung on his chest.

Beside him are two gorgeously decorated Rick Guardian Knights wearing silver body plates.

The iron cross, skull, laurel crown, these three knightly badges are enough to allow the guards of the empire to release immediately.

Sure enough, the village head who had just looked at him just now changed his face. His mouth was wide, and he was deeply flattered and admired. He trot all the way on a wooden stick and knelt in the snow Middle: "Very, very, very welcome! Emperor's guards! Welcome to Bad Laugh Village."

"Hello, the village chief, we were ordered by the emperor to **** the VIPs to Hemgart, and we will stay here today to pick up your two best houses." A Rick guard said proudly. He drew two gold marks with Karl-Franz's head in his arms, and threw them directly in front of the village chief, motioned to the village chief: "Hurry up."

"Yes!" The village head should be loud, he took the gold coins with excitement and unstoppable excitement, and ran all the way through the snow from the ground, shouting screamingly: "Rick Guard is coming! Rick Guards came to our village of bad smiles with the emperor's mission! "

"Wow ~" The entire small village was just like the Midsummer Festival. All the villagers came out of the nest. More than 300 villagers scrambled to watch the two Rick guards. They cheered and greeted a group of people. Many villagers He even knelt and tried to present some exquisite handicrafts.

The two Rick Guards just smiled and beckoned. They conveyed the emperor's will, consoled the villagers' production, and asked the villagers and nobles whether they were collecting taxes indiscriminately.

The status of the Rick Guards in the empire is similar to that of the Holy Grail Knights. They are not only one of the core powers of the empire, but also have the power to monitor each place and directly send messages to the ear of the emperor. Since their establishment, they have followed the emperor and the Evil battles endlessly, which earned them the respect and love of civilians.

"At least on the surface, people here are doing pretty well." The Rick guard said towards Ryan who was walking beside him.

After the Winter Veil Festival, Ryan, 31 years old, became more calm after he got married. There was less of the impulse and sharpness of young people on his body, and there was more of a sense of precipitation that truly belonged to the big aristocracy.

"I'm surprised that you would give the villagers money." Ryan raised his lips and said: "When I was in Nord, it was their luck for the Kingdom Knights to live in the farmers' houses."

"The savior Ludwig educated us that everyone is eligible to get paid for his work, at least in the Rick collar and the Avi collar in the south of the empire." The speaking Rick guard is actually a recruit, His name was Rudolf Lichtenstein, the eldest son of the Duke of Lichtenstein, and he was sent to the Rick Guard to serve.

"Yes, or only the south of the empire." Another Rick guard said: "In fact, the north of the empire is still popular with the proverb," ​​Where are you from, you have to get used to being a person ", If you were born as a farmer, then you will be a farmer for life. If you are born as a noble, you will be a noble for life. "

This Rick Guardian recruit was called Wagner-Schmidt. The two recruits were sent by Emperor Karl to **** Ryan until Hemgart reached the borderline of the Axe Bite Pass. Although they were two knight recruits, Rudolph took Eleven knights were obedient, and Wagner also took five knights to obey, plus Surya, Veronica, Theresa, and Surya's servants, it was a huge group of cavalry.

"I always thought that only Brittany would make a strict distinction between serfs and knights." Teresa asked curiously on a half-blood elf war horse.

"The situation is different in different places, Ms. Trovik." Rudolph was not so enthusiastic about Theresa, and the son-in-law of the duke was distinguished: "Many nobles do not like this rule because it hinders Their way of wealth, they always obstructed in secret, and always resisted the teachings of His Majesty Ludwig, but we must thank the savior. Without him, you cannot walk on the street so brightly. "

The imperial nobles still have a prejudice against wizards. The nobles need the power of wizards and fear the power of wizards. Whether they are Teresa or Veronica, they are not wizards certified by the Imperial Royal Wizards College.

So why the wizards are eager to become the chief wizard of the royal family, because that is a symbol of status and identity, that represents the trust of the emperor, and can also earn the respect that the wizards desire.

The magnificent Suria opened her mouth, and the countess burst out with a moving smile: "He was a great emperor. Without him, the old world was already destroyed by the invasion of chaos."

"I'm glad we agreed, Mrs. Suria." Rudolf smiled understandingly. Yu Guang noticed the demon hunter Ebel standing in front of the village house: "God, the chaotic minions have already Has it spread here? I actually saw a demon hunter! "

"Oh! It's Ebel! Long time no see!" Ryan's eyes were the sharpest, and when he saw the figure of the demon hunter, he smiled, and the count turned down and came to Ebel, patting Ebel's shoulder : "Mr. Eber, it's been a long time."

"I haven't seen you in a long time, Lord Earl. Thank you." The devil hunter greeted him barely. He squeezed a polite smile and shook hands with Ryan.

"What are the devil hunters doing in this village?" Rick guard Rudolph said in a loud voice. "Did you find heresy, or did you accept the commission?"

"I accepted the commission." Eber knew that the other party was distinguished, and he was not the kind of demon hunter under the jurisdiction of the church. The Archbishop of the Church of Justice, Vikmar, had many demon hunters under his authority. Overseeing the imperial nobility, but Ebel did not. He joined the Demon Hunter Guild—a loose guild.

"Very good, I wish you a happy task." Wagner did not want to say more to the demon hunter.

The nobles did not like demon hunters.

"What commission?" Ryan was interested instead.

"About ..." Ebel was about to say about the commission, but Ryan noticed the paleness of his face and the sound of his stomach rumbling ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ This legendary strongman is obviously still hungry Belly, it seems that his life is really not very good, Lane said with a smile: "This is not a place to chat, let us talk about this under the warm fire and delicious food!"

"I agree!" Rudolph raised his hand. Rick Guards said loudly, "Come on, let's go to the hotel and see what we eat!"

Twenty minutes later, the Butter Beer Hotel in Bad Smile Village, beside the warm fire, sat on the humble tables and chairs with five people: Ryan, Surya, Rudolph, Eber and Wagner. The rich aristocratic knight was obviously not The Demon Hunter can compare. Ryan took out a dozen silver coins and let the hotel owner make a table of delicious dishes, fragrant broth, a basket of barley bread, delicious stews and refreshing butter beer.

"So to say ... there are traces of orcish tribe activity in the Rickward Forest 15 kilometers away." Ryan touched his chin and asked towards Ebel: "You took the commission from the villagers. ? Going to investigate the Beastmen Horde? But you only have one person. This is really a dangerous task. What about your companion? The one called Zule? "

"Jule went back to the fortress of Tal to spend the winter ... The fortress is in a hidden corner of the gray mountains on the side of Hemgart." Eber added: "Repairing and maintaining my equipment has already saved my savings It has to be clean, so just after the winter curtain festival, I went out to find a commission, otherwise I would starve to death. "

"Is the Beastman Horde?" Ryan thought for a while, and then he said, "Since we are here, let us help Karl Franz and his Rick!"

"Aiboer, it's up to you. You go deep into the forest to investigate the Orc Horde, and then find a way to lure them out."

"This time, let's smash these disgusting chaos together!"
