"Of course I do!"

Old Ande, who came back to his senses, seemed to notice something, and replied very seriously.

"Then, take the contract between you and the four guys, and we'll re-sign it!"

Dean sat there and gestured.

Although he had already guessed that Dean would do this, Old Ander still glanced at the young man in front of him with some surprise, and then bowed down and walked towards the shop—to re-sign the contract, not only the person who signed the contract, but also the witnesses; After all, this is just an ordinary contract bound by the lord and the county king, not those magic contracts.

"Is there anything you'd like to say?"

Dean sat in his chair and chuckled as he looked at the two young men beside him who wanted to speak and stopped.

"Captain, why do we spend so much money to hire this shopkeeper?"

Ike, a young man with an active mind, asked before his friend this time.

And that slightly eager look made Dean's smile thicker and thicker - it was clear that Ike was anxious to know the answer, not just like Ceren was simply indignant, he wanted to really know why.

Or rather...... Confirm some of the speculations.

In this regard, Dean, who intends to cultivate the two, of course, will not refuse-

"Ike, Siren, how much do you think it will cost to hire a shopkeeper?"

Dean didn't answer directly, but asked the two subordinates.

"The shopkeepers of those caravans in Tyre, even if Vauban City is more prosperous, will not exceed 2 or 2 silver horns!"

Ike replied directly, and Ciren on the side looked dazed.

"So what about a shopkeeper who not only has fame and connections, but is also literate and knows how to count?"

Dean pointed to the vellum that lay beside the ledger - there was old Ender's handwriting and some numbers on it, which had just been noted to give Dean a more detailed explanation.

"At least 2 silver horns!"

Ike thought about it for a moment. Such an answer is given.

In Jade, literacy, reading, is definitely not a simple thing. The commoner family was basically a luxury, and only the aristocracy could receive such an education. And this is also one of the important reasons why the aristocracy holds important positions in the entire country in addition to strength.

And there are only two ways for civilians to receive such an education.

1. Become a knight and get educated.

2. Pay a lot of money to get an education.

Of course, the former also needs to be paid. However, it is only a third of the latter.

The same is true of arithmetic.

Therefore, those who are literate and know how to count in Jade are definitely the ones who can get the best job treatment - after all, being able to read and count already shows that they are either rich or expensive, even if they used to be.

Aristocrats, usually, give such a person a decent offer.

Clearly, that old Ander was such a man.

Thinking of this, Ike nodded slowly. "I understand, Commander! ”

"Got what?"

Siren was still a little confused, and Ike explained to Siren in a low voice.

It's very simple. Being able to read and count has made Old Ander worth spending 2 silver horns to hire, and the remaining 1 silver horn is based on the other party's former identity - a commoner-born shopkeeper and a dilapidated aristocratic shopkeeper, the latter is obviously more advantageous.

After all, this is a spice and fur shop.

Commoners, but rarely come here, and it is still those noble children who come here.

And having a shopkeeper like Lao Ande, who is also from an aristocratic background, is obviously easier to communicate. Even use the original network to drive the transaction volume of the whole store.

And this is a civilian shopkeeper. Something that simply can't be done.

Looking at Ike's detailed explanation to Siren, Dean nodded secretly. Repositioning this young man - compared to Siren's 'knightly talent', Ike is naturally a little inconspicuous, but it is obviously good to stay in a small border place like Tyre Town and not receive any formal education, and be able to have such knowledge.

And the diligent nature of thinking, which is also valued by Dean.

"Perhaps, I can have one more staff officer with the army!"

Dean thought silently, and at this time, clear footsteps sounded outside the door-

Step, step, step......

After knocking on the door, old Ander walked in with the Witness, and looking at the Witness, Dean stood up with a smile.

"Great Knight of Anluo, good day!"

"Good day!"

Facing the smiling Dean, the Grand Knight of Anlo, who had fought side by side with Dean in Fort Vaubana, immediately responded with a smile, the big knight in civilian clothes, and said: "I met Old Ander in the city guard before, and he said to find another witness, I think I am very suitable!" ”

"Of course!"

Dean smiled and nodded, inviting the other to sit down.

It was not surprising for the Grand Knight to appear in the castle guard, but it was surprising to act as a witness, just look at the shocked appearance of the four men.

Even old Ander had a hint of surprise on his face.

Obviously, he didn't expect that he would get a great knight to act as a witness just by mentioning it casually.

Of course, Old Ander would never think that this was his face.

Subconsciously, Old Ander looked at Dean's young face again, and then thought of the rumors in the castle, and the shopkeeper became more cautious and respectful.

Nobles with titles are not uncommon in jadeite, but nobles with titles, great knight strength, and young jadeite, that is rare in jadeite.

Moreover, each one represents one meaning: the future is limitless.

For such a promising young man, old Ander, who was once born in a knight's family, certainly knew what to do.

Therefore, the subsequent process of signing the contract was very simple and there were no mistakes.

It was almost all done in the conversation between Dean and the Grand Knight of Anlo.

And when Old Ander took his own contract and left the room with four men, Anluo, the big knight, restrained his smile. With a slightly stern gaze, he asked, "Dean, have you been baptized as a knight?" ”

"No, you know. My body has just recovered and I'm ready to reach the true peak of my life. Baptism again! ”

Dean shook his head and replied.

In the previous conversation, Dean and the other party could already call him by his first name for the friendliness of the great knight; Of course, there are some things that Dean is still hidden.

"So, is it possible to do it on the day of the 'baptism' arranged by the Marquis?"

Saying this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on the great knight's face. Then, there's anger.

"Did you give birth to anything?"

Looking at the other party's face, Dean asked directly.

"It's Bishop Dehall, the Divine Cult also has two knights who have reached the level to be baptized this time - they are both very good, at least, among the young people who were baptized that day, except for you Dean, everyone else is much worse!"

A look of shame appeared on An Luo's face.

"I see!"

Dean nodded slowly.

The struggle between divine power and royal power will always appear inadvertently.

Dean didn't have any objection to that—for the Cult. He has never had a good feeling, and even his heart is full of hatred.

Therefore. Of course Dean wouldn't refuse-

"Absolutely!"

Dean affirmed.

"Thank you so much, Dean!"

An Luo stood up and bowed slightly.

Then, after a few moments of small talk, the Grand Knight of Anluo got up and took his leave—apparently he was still needed to be in charge of the city guard.

After all, Vauban City has not been peaceful these days.

Last night, a fire broke out in a civilian area, killing five people. Moreover, it was five men with weapons - Dean remembered it well. When he said this, a sorrow appeared on An Luo's face.

Therefore. Not only in the upper city, the castle, but also in the lower city, the marquis has also begun to send great knights.

During this time, Anlo was able to come here as a witness, not only to thank Dean for his 'life-saving grace' in the battle, but also to share his worries for the old marquis.

This is what every subordinate knight should do.

And Dean didn't care about that.

At the very least, he sensed that An Luo had no ill will.

"Let's go, let's go back to the residence!"

As he spoke, Dean led his two subordinates to the outside of the shop, and Old Ander took a man to the door of the shop.

The two sides said goodbye in their respective identities, and neither of them appeared, a pattern that Dean instantly drew in the most inconspicuous corner of his shop.

……

Lunch at the accommodation in Uptown, as always, was plentiful.

The Marquis de Vauban will not deduct anything in this regard, on the contrary, he is unusually generous-

Chunks of roasted horned lamb, golden bread, hard-boiled eggs, large pots of stewed soup.

It can be said that, except for the absence of wine, a qiē looks so perfect.

Of course, this was the meal for the young men of the Knights of Fecharon, and the lunch for Dean, Huck and the Baron de Tyre was a little more sumptuous and detailed.

However, both Dean and Huck sat at the same table with the young people.

For Dean, as the leader of a knight order, he must share the weal and woe with his subordinates, which is his responsibility and obligation.

Otherwise, how can you lead your subordinates to charge into battle?

And for Huck, it's his own regiment commander and subordinates who are here, why should he leave?

As for the food?

Still laughing loudly like this, eating meat in a big way, and even, it has already surpassed the taste of the food itself.

And at this time, a baron's guard with two jars ran in—

"This is the honey and goat's milk that Miss Lily gave you!"

I didn't eat breakfast and lunch, and I was almost hungry and faint at the end of the day, so I hurried to eat...... (To be continued)
