The journey of the soul-piercing pawn to the God of Dharma

After the old king made an impassioned speech, he laughed and said: "Don't listen to my nagging. The prince will be enthroned tomorrow. I have trained the prince for many years. The prince is familiar with the affairs of the country, so he will be able to govern the country well and ensure the legitimate interests of the nobles. You I will continue to assist the new king and be loyal to him!"

"I will remain loyal to the empire as always, Your Majesty, please rest assured!".

Not to mention the crowd's oath of allegiance, the prince walked in from the door. He looked to be over fifty years old. He was already wearing a royal robe, a crown on his head, and a short scepter in his hand.

It’s not easy for a prince to reach over fifty!

Drinking at the same table with the old king can be regarded as an orderly and smooth handover of power, so that there will be no trouble.

The old king laughed loudly and said: "It's time to sing and dance to add to the fun. Tomorrow is the first day of National Day and also the New Year of our country. From now on, the new king will come to the court to handle politics. I will go to the palace to retire and no longer care about political affairs...".

The new king stood up and said: "My ministers, I will ascend the throne tomorrow. I also ask you to assist me in building a peaceful and prosperous age. Come and drink from this cup! The prosperity of this empire cannot be separated from the concerted efforts of our monarchs and ministers. Before ascending the throne, I accept this gift from the king and thank you all for your hard work..."

White followed the local customs, waited for the palace maid to fill up the wine, and toasted the new emperor with the nobles...

Then singing and dancing added to the fun, and the maids began to serve the dishes. The wine was made from grapes, and the dishes were all the same, one for each person.

This is a state banquet. According to legend, the dishes used on the eve of the founding of Medeis have been passed down to this day.

Steamed lamb, roasted chicken with pomegranate, lamb intestines mixed with bitter vegetables, sashimi, grilled fat beef...

The state banquet followed the ancient method, with expensive spices, which was particularly appetizing. When the maid served tea, White was shocked. This was authentic green tea, which was more delicious than the so-called magic tea fermented by complicated processes.

It was obvious that players discovered tea leaves and made it by roasting it using ancient methods. The fragrance made White miss his hometown, so he couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Sir, you are...".

White: "Nothing, I got some spices in my eyes! Let's go back and learn how to make tea, and find ways to trade it. Our territory has a dry climate, so wild tea trees cannot grow naturally. There may be wild tea trees in some areas of Medis!"

"Ah! This is not as delicious as magic tea! I like to add other condiments to drink! This tea tastes just like that...".

"The top-quality magic tea costs more than [-] gold coins per kilogram, and ordinary people cannot afford it. Once this product is promoted, as long as it is cheaper, every household will become enthusiastic about drinking tea!"

While talking, enjoying the singing and dancing, Medice's tea is definitely hard currency and has flowed into the palace. It must be the player's trick. I will check it out when I have a chance...

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the old king stood up in high spirits and gave a short speech. The maids removed the leftovers, sorted them briefly, and served the fruit plate.

The old king said: "Today I invite a special guest, a member of the foreign mercenary group, Mr. White Zhuanglin. Stand up and let me have a look...".

White stood up and saluted the king, waving to the nobles.

The old king: "I know everything about Mr. White. Your grudges with the palace can be said to be top secret. We have spent a lot of effort to find out. Don't worry, only a few people including me and the prince know about it. Our country only wants to help you." How about achieving what you want and having permanent peace between the two countries?"

Speaking of such obvious matters, the so-called [divine prophecy] and the pursuit of the palace, the old king was very clear that this matter should not be made public.

The old king firmly believed in God's will and wanted to get a share of the pie. It was impossible for others to help him in vain. How could White seek skin from the tiger?

For his own affairs, he will never rely on foreign forces. The old king underestimated White, and not everyone forgets their own righteousness...

White smiled and said: "Rumors cannot be taken seriously. Rumors almost killed me. Now I come to your country to open a mercenary group. Firstly, your country has perfect mercenary laws. Secondly, your country is rich. Thirdly, I also want to attack the palace. , I earned money by the way, the best of both worlds, just fighting to support war! The old king wants to help me? Forget it, our army uses money to do things, only recognizes money and does not talk about politics!"

"Haha! That's right. If the gold coins can keep the peace of our empire, it will be worth it. General White only needs to set the price. As long as it is worth the money and the country can afford it, I wonder if I can see the elegance of the refugee army in the spring..."

White: "I am a mercenary and not under your control. I will only go to the battlefield at the most advantageous time. I hope your generals will respect themselves and not point fingers in front of me. Don't let our troops be cannon fodder. When the war begins, the outcome of the war has the final say!”.

"Hmph! A mere refugee mercenary is too much to trust, and is simply arrogant!" A young general made a sarcastic comment.

White didn't take these noises seriously at all. He pulled Dai Li to the center of the aisle and saluted: "It's time for us to say goodbye. I wish the new king will be dictatorial and control the world after he ascends the throne. I am a soldier and I don't understand your politics!" One thing needs to be made clear. Some people criticized it just now. Okay! Even the Medis coalition could not defeat the elite troops in the eastern theater of Tuval. It can be said that they were retreating steadily. Young people, it’s okay to speak forcefully. You can save many words to defeat the enemy. talk later!".

Prince: "General White is staying here. There is no need to argue with others. It's a good idea to take advantage of the gathering to discuss the situation of the war!"

White smiled and said: "The military is a secret matter, how can it be discussed openly? Talking about war on paper is useless, and the price has not been negotiated yet. I am here to make money, and you'd better win, otherwise the war situation will change. Increase the price!".

It was the young general who questioned White again, and sneered: "You have only five thousand people? How dare you be so arrogant? Your Majesty, this is obviously a scam and cannot be trusted!".

Old King: "Sit down, you don't understand the situation, don't jump to conclusions. His father-in-law is the God of War Sachiko, General White is quite prestigious, and I trust his ability. As long as the price is right, the refugee army will definitely have more than [-] troops. People! Well, if we can't win, then General Lawwhite will take action, just raise the price..."

White came here just to get a feel for the situation and was unwilling to say too much. The new king will ascend the throne tomorrow, and he doesn't like to join in the fun, so he plans to go back to the military camp. The boring aristocratic banquet is so formalistic that it makes people uncomfortable to attend the banquet.

He is not bored every day like other nobles. Participating in dinners and celebrations is just a waste of time.

On the way back, Dai Li said: "How much money do you plan to charge the palace for?"

White smiled and said: "Then let's see how the battle is going ahead. Now that we have inadvertently created Tiangong, our ability to make money far exceeds that of the battlefield. We don't care about fighting any wars! The plan can't keep up with the changes. I will send someone out tomorrow to inquire about the tea leaves. We’ll talk about making money by starting a mercenary group later.”

Dai Li is a witness to everything. The Lord has already started to make a lot of money, so he is not interested in the mercenary matter.

This elixir of life is worth [-] million gold coins in this country. Even Moro made a premium from it. Through smooth connections, he got the opportunity to learn from the Mage of Light and easily solved the skill book problem.

How can fighting a war be compared with opening a church? The heavenly palace here has a rejuvenating potion, and the locals respect it as a god. Moro has also become a national master, and the speed of making money is about to accelerate.

Dai Li: "Okay, let's go investigate the tea leaves tomorrow. Why should we fight? Medis' money is so profitable."

White: "It was unintentional and we made money. We can't just wait until Medeis can't stand it. We can just collect the money to help them fight back from the eastern theater!"
