Rise In Calradia
Chapter 7: : Merchant's Gift
As the captain of the city defense of Palavin and a sergeant who once served in the king’s army, Yad has always been eager to enjoy a peaceful and wealthy retirement life. With his relationship with those noble friends, he can lead a decent squire life, or spend his old age in a comfortable mansion in the city.
But unfortunately, a good retirement life requires dinar, and it is also necessary to obtain a suitable position. However, in this war period, the work is heavy, but not only the income has not increased, but the income is always in arrears. Take a look at the savings that I have accumulated over the past few years. It is not even enough to hold a wedding for my lover.
When the economic situation is not good, people always have to think of some special solutions...
Yade told himself that he hid the filial piety sent by the robbers behind the cabinet, and then he took a long sigh of relief and took off his armor and lay on the bed.
As the night passed, the snoring continued. According to the previous agreement, the robbers who had entered the city began to gather in this room, and the two Swadia militiamen under Yad had already stood in front of Yad’s house. Now, holding a shield and a short sword, waiting for the arrival of those people.
The faint light of the morning dispelled the darkness, the torches were also extinguished, and those who got up early to work also took to the street, yawning, and walked through this street, not caring why there were a few people in front of Yard’s house. Chat gossip.
Yade woke up from his sleep and found that the robbers who asked him for help and would give him money had already arrived at the door, so he put on his coat, brought a sharp sword, and opened the door. The two militiamen stood up immediately, and the robbers disguised as tramps at the door immediately showed a smile, and leaned in a little flatteringly.
But at this moment, a humpbacked old man pushing a pallet covered in linen not far away suddenly stopped, took out a sharp dagger from his waist, and then kicked it lightly with his foot, and the wheel fell off. Down. He hid the dagger, pretending that he didn't know what to do, and cautiously approached him hoping that the adults could help him.
Yade waved his hand at the old man dissatisfiedly, and a robber showed a fierce face and walked over to let the uninteresting guy get out.
But the ‘’old man’’ suddenly pulled out the dagger, and pierced it directly into the heart of the robber in front of him. The cloth on the previously broken down cart was also lifted, and two mercenaries wearing chain mail and holding sharp blades rushed towards them.
A drunk lying on the street opposite Yard's house also threw away the wine bottle and drew out a dagger at this time. The two nearby passers-by also took out their weapons from their waists or arms, and gathered around here. There were also two robbers pretending to be beggars standing guard, but before they rushed over to help, Byron put on a cloaked chain mail, and a businessman with a Germanic sword took them with him. A Swadia light infantry appeared from the corner of the street. Byron stabbed a robber with a sword in the heart of the robber, and the other robber on guard was also stopped by two light infantry. He tried to resist with a dagger, but the blunt knife was completely They couldn't pierce the light chain armor under the other's linen clothes, and the two of them cut off their arms directly, and then pierced their throats.
Facing the attack, Yad fully demonstrated his combat skills as a sergeant. Although he only has one sword, he can face the attack of three people at the same time and even stab each other. However, his teammates were very pitted. The robbers didn't wear any armor. When the opponent shouted, "The king has ordered the arrest of the traitors!", the two militiamen stopped their attacks and scanned the walls. Around, it seems that I want to make a decision based on the situation.
The merchant’s plan is very successful, even if Yad’s one-handed weapon proficiency has exceeded 100, after a long battle, wearing equipment can single-handedly defeat Byron's entire team. But now he only had a shirt and a jacket on him, and he had to face attacks from a group of people at the same time, so after stabbing a few people, he was knocked to the ground, **** and taken away.
"It's a beautiful job. I saw you killed two people and knocked out one. It was beyond imagination."
The businessman praised Byron's performance just now, and handed him a pocket of silver coins.
"This is 200 dinars, your reward. Now, I will take this guy who is collaborating with the bandit to see His Majesty King Harous, but this is not something to be commended. The king will not capture him alive because of mercenaries. The captain of the city defense is happy. You'd better hide first. If things go well, you can see it in the tavern tonight or tomorrow. Thank you for your help, buddy."
The merchant left with the captain of the city defense who was **** by the big five flowers, and the merchant also took his soldiers to help the wounded and robber captives to the king's castle. But as he said, Byron had better not come forward, lest the king would hang him after giving him a trial.
But Byron really admired the businessman. His men turned out to be more than a dozen Swadia light infantry as a level 3 unit, and even two Swadia infantry. These people were enough to rob a small village.
【One-handed weapon proficiency +5】
For this action, Byron got up early and still had a lot of blood stains on his body. He really had to hide and take a good rest. Fortunately, the tavern in the outer city met this need. You can rest there, and the tavernkeeper doesn't care what he did.
Byron returned to the tavern, changed his clothes, ordered a few more glasses of malt, and had a drink with some of his men. It can be seen that the recruits from the countryside are very fascinated by the taverns and city life in the city. It is true that Byron also went to the inner city for a while while buying armor. It was the real city, comfortable and well-ordered. People come and go, very lively. Even the women standing on the street are beautiful women in velvet edging clothes, and the rich and the little nobles are also polite when they chat with them.
The class contradiction and the gap between the rich and the poor have continued in this way since ancient times, even in different worlds.
When it was dusk, the merchant appeared in the tavern again and found him directly. It seemed that things were going well, which made Byron a sigh of relief. Byron doesn't have a deep friendship with him, but if something happens to him then he can't run away.
"The king punished the captain. Obviously, a guy who can put robbers into the city for money will open the city gate for money during the war. But it seems that the king is not happy that merchants and mercenaries can kidnap his army. Officer, fortunately, he gave me a few days to arrange family affairs. But rest assured, I didn't say you in front of the king, so you are safe."
The businessman's expression was very calm when he spoke, and he was not at all like the attitude of a person with funeral arrangements.
"This doesn't sound fair. You got rid of a traitor for the king, but he treated you that way. So what do you do? I don't think you want your neck to be lassoed, do you?"
Byron also smiled about this. He could see that the other party was ready, but he still wanted to hear what the other party would do, so that he could have a reference in case he encounters the corresponding situation in the future.
"Of course not, boy, I cherish my life."
The businessman heard Byron's slightly joking question and knew that the other party was a smart person, and he had no need to hide it.
"On this continent, kings and nobles enjoy everything. They collect taxes and start wars. The lives of ordinary people are not worth mentioning to them. But no one does not need dinar, especially those who clamor for war every day. The lord of, and the king who is responsible for paying for a lot of things. King Haraus is not wanted for me, so I will leave here and go to the Kingdom of Vijaya to hide for a while. I still have some assets in Zivadin. Wait until The pockets of the king and the nobles are tight again, and I will find the lords who know me, drag them to intercede for me, and donate thousands of dinars to the king’s army, and I will return to Par Lavin. My business will be more prosperous, and because of these things, no idiot will come to calculate me, unless he has his own banner (referring to nobles)."
"You are very willing to spend money, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, which is very good. Investment will be rewarded, I believe your business will thrive."
The young Byron admired the other party's arrangement very much. Before and after the journey, he was just an ordinary young man, and lacked the experience of doing things. The businessman's words were a precious lesson for him.
"By the way, before I left, I prepared some small gifts. I didn't expect my intuition at the time to come true. You helped me a lot, and there was no counter-offer. I like your character very much. Wish you Good luck, boy."
The businessman put on his hat and left, while his attendant left a long cloth bag and a piece of parchment with the words on it.
Byron opened the package and found inside it was a hammer head nearly the size of a fist. There were many maces with one-inch-long nails on it. That was a weapon unique to the high-ranking arms of the Swadia Kingdom!
[Lightweight mace (single/double): piercing: 3.5; length: 70 cm; required power: 7; effect: 1 (lightweight: this is a small mace, which does not require a lot of power It can be used, but the price is that the attributes are reduced) 2 (Block breakthrough: has a better shield-breaking and armor-breaking effect.)]
"It's a small artifact!"
Byron couldn't help but applaud, not enough. When he was about to look at another piece of parchment, something similar to the system prompt appeared.
[The task has been completed: capture the captain of the Paravin guard; get the task reward: level*1; trace team experience; reputation*5;]
[Your level has increased, your current level is 2; gain attribute points*1; gain extra points*5; [Strike] skills*1;]
[Your troops have shared their experience, and the following troops can be promoted:
Swadia recruit*3;]
