103. Leave the Tinders Collar
It was already completely dawn, Alfred still hadn't come back, Sean's mood was a little complicated, but there were more important things at the moment, so Sean could only get up and start preparing for the next long trip.
On the first floor, the veterans seemed to be sober, and the owner of the inn was serving them food, which Sean had explained yesterday.
Seeing Sean go downstairs, the veterans all got up and said hello to Sean. And Sean also happily continued to chat with these veterans, and at the same time began to enjoy his breakfast, but he could see that these veterans were not very talkative, and the sadness on most of their faces was more obvious, obviously they already knew Sean's future plans, so they were thinking carefully about their future at this time.
However, there are also some veterans, whose faces are as relaxed as ever, they are not affected by this dull atmosphere, and they have obviously made a good decision. Sean still remembers that these people are all veterans who discussed "good women" yesterday, and they should not have married and had children yet, so they don't have too many burdens, and Sean can at least be sure that these veterans will definitely leave with him at that time.
After breakfast, Sean left Cecilia in the hotel, maybe Alfred would return at some point, and it was necessary to negotiate some terms with the veterans. At the very least, it is necessary to figure out what to do with the blood money if the veterans are killed, and there are other details that need to be discussed, such as how many years of service, what to do if they retire or become disabled, and so on.
Sean is not very good at these, of course, Cecilia doesn't understand, but Sean is afraid of trouble, so he left Cecilia behind. After all, these veterans used to be Cecilia's soldiers, so Cecilia's convincing power is slightly higher, and it is naturally easier to let Cecilia negotiate with them - after all, Cecilia is still a fourteen-year-old child, even if a child says the wrong thing, who will embarrass her?
And Sean, naturally, began to make various purchases in the village of Seroda.
The main thing. Actually, it's still food preparation. After all, Sean was preparing to take a shortcut to leave the Kingdom of Portoroa, so once he left the Tynders Territory, there would be no one in the next month. So at the very least, you need to prepare food for more than a month and a half - no one can be sure if the journey will be smooth and there will inevitably be some delays, so it is always better to prepare more food.
Except for the problem of food. The rest is the issue of vehicles and tents, and of course the purchase of some rain cloths and sun protection cloths and other things, all aspects need to be taken into account. But fortunately, Sean had already discussed it with Cecilia last night, and he had made a list, so it would be no problem to deal with it according to the contents of the list at this time. As for the rest of the small things, such as horses, weapon defense, and the like, you have to wait until you determine how many veterans are willing to join them.
When Sean returned to the House of Warm Breeze, it was already afternoon, but as soon as he entered the hotel, Sean's slightly tired face became a little happy.
A little girl who looked to be about ten years old sat quietly beside Alfred.
The little girl had long, chestnut hair, and her features were not as delicate as Cecilia's. But he also inherited his mother's softness. Wearing a pink and white gothic costume, which makes her look even more petite and cute. Although he is only about ten years old, he can obviously see that he is a beautiful embryo. This little girl is Alfred's daughter, Sheena. Vorster.
After seeing Sean come back, little Hina called Uncle very obediently, which made Cecilia snicker.
"How many times have you said that you want to call my brother." Sean smiled wryly and shook his head.
At first, Sheena did call Sean her brother, but Alfred seemed to be worried that his daughter would be snatched away by Sean, and emphasized very tastefully that he must call Sean his uncle. After repeating this a few times, Sheena naturally began to call Sean an an uncle, no matter how Sean asked, or even seduced, Sheena still insisted on calling Sean an uncle, and Sean had no choice but to surrender.
Looking back at the other people on the first floor, there were nearly twenty veterans who were still here at this time, and these were all people who were not married and did not need special care, so they could walk easily and without pressure when they walked with Sean. The negotiations had already been made with Cecilia, and each person was required to pay four gold coins of Portoroa for the next year's salary, and then three silver coins per month from the second year onwards, whichever was the currency of the country in circulation.
If there is a death in battle, the blood money is ten gold coins, because there is no family, so just give the money to other veterans who are still alive, this is an unspoken rule of the veterans, which means that even with my share can live well, but this blood gold must be a gold coin of Portoroa, after all, their hometown is here. If it is disabled, then Sean must be responsible for taking care of their future life, of course, they will not eat in vain, but will use their ability to continue to serve Sean.
Sean certainly has no opinion on these conditions.
So the rest of the procurement work was completed in the afternoon of the same day. Sean equipped these veterans with two horses, not war horses, just ordinary horses, after all, they are not cavalry, and then equipped them with iron shields, scimitars, straight swords, spears and other weapons, and Sean also bought chain mail and light armor directly with great wealth, which greatly strengthened the survivability and combat ability of these veterans.
And to Sean's surprise, when all these preparations were made, a strange electronic long sound suddenly sounded in his mind.
[The True Eye (Bloodline Talent) has evolved to the second order, opening the army query ability.] 】
Then, when Sean looked at the veterans again, he immediately had a list of data that had never appeared before.
[Army: Unnamed]
[Strength: Level 2]
[Number of people: 19]
[Commander: Cecilia]
[Commander Skill - Military Command Command: When the skill is activated, the morale of the whole army is locked and the speed is increased. 】
[Morale: High]
[Faith: None]
[War Skill: N/A]
[Army Advantage: None]
Seeing that the Eye of Truth has a new ability coming out, Sean is naturally extremely excited, as long as he has this ability, any army is as transparent in his eyes, and he can even make targeted tactical arrangements. It's just that it is not yet known whether this ability is the same as the previous situation of the True Eye, and it is necessary to cooperate with the specific name of the other party in Zhilu Dao to obtain detailed data.
If it can be combined like [Desperate Survival], then it will be much simpler. It's just that in this way, Sean thought about it carefully, does he need to read a book like "History of the Miracle Army"?
After everything was ready, Sean and the others had a restful sleep at the Warm Wind House Hotel, and left the village of Cerroda early the next morning to embark on the journey. For Sean's departure, the owner of the Warm Wind House is actually very reluctant, because in just half a month or so, he has already earned almost two years of money, if he can, of course, this boss hopes to make a few more money.
And in addition to the boss of the Warm Wind House who is watching Sean's team leave, there is another boss who is also watching Sean and the others leave. If Sean could see this boss at this time, he would definitely be able to recognize that he was the boss of Wine and Blades, and it was this boss who coughed lightly in the confrontation with Alfred at the beginning, which calmed Alfred.
At this time, the boss sighed after watching Sean's team completely leave Seroda Village and gradually disappear from sight: "That troublesome little ghost has finally left." However, he has only been in Tindes for a month, and he has turned this territory upside down, and even Mario has become a demon and died at his hands, this little ghost is not simple. ”
"You seem to admire him very much." A waitress was wiping the table in the tavern and stopped when she heard the boss's words.
"A little appreciation, after all, it's rare to have such an interesting person." The boss smiled, with a rare look of joy on his face, and even his eyes were full of smiles, "You still don't know what to do, right?" Medusa's group of unseen guys have suffered three big losses in a row at his hands, and their strength in Tindes has been removed, and now the whole Tindes is a little uncomfortable. ”
At this, the tavernkeeper's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he said, "But this little fellow's luck is really good. Leave before the madmen arrive, and it may take them a while to find him again. ”
"It's a pity that the Royce family ......"
"Take the blame." The tavern keeper shook his head and let out a helpless sigh, "If it weren't for the acquiescence of those madmen, after Mario and Medusa got on the line, those madmen would have killed him a long time ago, so it would be that little ghost's turn to do it." So in fact, even those crazy people want Mario to become the lord of Tindes, but I don't understand one thing, this little imp obviously hates Durune, how could he join forces with Durune to kill Mario? ”
"I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out." The tavernkeeper grunted.
Of course, he couldn't understand that Sean's approach and thinking were just pure fidelity to the normal reaction of a player. Why not do this kind of thing that can solve problems and gain benefits? It's just that even Sean himself doesn't know that the situation in Tindes Ling will be so complicated, so complicated that even he feels a little helpless and surprised, if he had known the truth of the matter in Lu Dao, then he would definitely not make this choice, but would have killed Mudders in a more gentle way. (To be continued.) )
