Chapter 449 Fighting the Autumn Wind
When there are many people, it is lively. If you want to be lively, you will have a seat. If you want to start the banquet, Dipu will be the chef again! This makes Dipu a little puzzled: who is the master of this black-eyed castle?
Fortunately, there are many cooks, and the dishes on the table are renovated. Dipu contributed a piece of elephant trunk as a main course, and made honey under the dead skin of Haughau's face. At last, when he was busy and as soon as he was ready to start, he immediately proved a truth - as soon as there was good food, the "evil guests" would definitely come to the door.
"Your Excellency, are you welcome?" said the tyrant Franco, who had taken off his silver-rimmed black-clad robe and dressed in his usual gown, walked in with a noble lady in his arms, and with a smile on his face. And Franco was accompanied by several of Newman's subordinates, who were also Dip's former comrades-in-arms in the Kingdom of Beamon.
"Welcome. Dipp had a warm smile on his face. But he muttered in his heart: Can you not welcome it? I have already offended two places, do you dare to offend the Inquisition?
Jinna arranged for everyone to be seated, but Dipu asked curiously, "Who is this?"
"My lady Frida. Franco smiled.
Tip was immediately frozen: "Ma'am?" Isn't Franco a silver-edged black-clothed envoy?
"Nice to meet you. "Frida was down-to-earth and generous.
"Oh! and glad to meet the beautiful lady!"
After a period of greetings, the banquet officially opened. After thirty years of drinking, Franco did not let Dipu doubt it, and said his meaning very clearly:
It turned out that after Franco cleared the remnants of the demons near Grenville, the Pope was gracious and allowed him to marry. And let Franco continue to serve the Holy See. And yesterday was the last day that Franco was the silver-rimmed black-clad envoy. Of course. Franco's position definitely needed to be transferred, so he was transferred to the knight system that could be married.
And because this was once a place where demon spies were rampant. The Black-Eyed Lords have no lord for the time being, and they can preach to Sunset Mangyuan, so the Pope decreed: Establish a small subordinate knight order of the Holy Knights in the Black-Eyed Castle. In other words, the Holy See has also begun to expand its strength.
And this subordinate order, the Holy See gave a wing the number with a stroke of the pen. In other words, you can recruit up to 3,000 knights, hundreds of magicians or magicians, and more than 30,000 troops. Of course, accustomed to the consistent style of the Holy See, in terms of human, material and financial resources. That's a dime a dozen. Except for Franco as the head of this affiliated knight order, Newman and more than two dozen surviving knights, the rest have to rely on "fate".
And Franco was worried about it. But as soon as he saw Dipu returning, his eyes suddenly lit up, so he went to the Three Treasures Hall today.
"Viscount, since you are already a saint, you should be the deputy head of the Knights. But...... You'll have to worry about the Knights, too!" Franco praised with a smile.
"Wait!" Dipu already sensed a hole in it, "Let's talk about it first! ”
"Refreshing! Deputy Commander Dipu, we are short of a little money to buy equipment and horses. ”
"How much?"
"That's it...... 100,000 gold coins!"
"Phew!" said Dip on the verge of turning his face. There is no one in the deputy head of the group. Want to pan for 100,000 gold coins?
"Don't get excited, don't get excited! It's not a one-time payment. Franco was still smiling, "Didn't you make a lot of money when you were in the Kingdom of Beamon?"
It's better not to mention the kingdom of Beamon, but to mention the kingdom of Beamon. Dipu is a bag of gas, that little girl Fei Guli, she still owes 300,000 gold coins. The more he thought about it, the more painful it became. When he opened his mouth, he replied, "Not a single copper coin." ”
I didn't expect Newman, a real honest man, to help: "Brother Dipp's loss is indeed not small, but his alchemy skills are good. You can make zuò magic armor, magic scrolls, and that clairvoyant mirror. You can also help when the time comes. ”
"Oh, Your Excellency the Deputy Commander, please make more zuò when the time comes, and we can help with the charity sale!"
"Don't mention the deputy head of the regiment? Dipu looked angry. It seems that Franco is just haunted, and he won't go without getting some benefits.
Dip also did not want to offend the Holy See, and now he was the only supporter. So he thought about it for a while, and said, "That's it, Captain Franco, I just want to put all the children in the territory into the school, and if there are suitable ones, they can be trained to become knight apprentices and trainee knights." Then try to recruit some knights, and build the framework of the knights first. However, I have a request, these people are also my private army, mainly to protect the safety of the Blackeye Collar. ”
It still costs money to build a private army in the DPP. Besides, with the signboard of the Holy See Knights, ordinary troubles can no longer be found.
And Franco thought about it and realized that it was not bad either. At least the Knights have a station, a source of reserves, and even more personnel, which can be justified. The Holy See has also formed five such subordinate orders throughout the continent. And your own knights, don't ask for the best, just don't want the worst!
As soon as the biggest problem was solved, the atmosphere at the wine table became harmonious. Everyone, you and I began to name the Knights. In the end, Lady Frida's proposal was adopted, and the name was taken - the Knights of the Holy Spring. The name comes from the "miraculous" spring water gushing from the black-eyed collar. (Hough is absolutely dizzy!)
……
Franco is very motivated. After eating, he took his leave, and went about the affairs of the Order. Dip dragged Temo and Salis to his training room, as he wanted to build a magic wand for himself.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the cultivation room, Temo said bad news: "Boy, you are unlucky, after your clairvoyant mirror was taken to the imperial capital, it was studied by Prince Xiuren, and then he polished it with crystal to make a clairvoyant mirror comparable to yours, and it only sold for 500 gold coins, and the imperial military department has already purchased two hundred." ”
"What?" Tip was furious, "dare to plagiarize me?"
"Who's plagiarizing? Your design isn't complicated, it's just that the alchemist won't do it. Besides, Hidehito didn't use alchemy, he just polished the crystal, and said it was ...... What what optical principle. It's cheaper than you anyway! You're dead on this way of making money!"
Dipu has completely rammed. It doesn't matter if you insult Dipu, you can use his money? After turning around several times, Dipu red-eyed and asked Temo, "Do you have scrapped Shattered Demon Crystals here?"
"Yes?" Temo thought strange.
"Okay, I'm going to make a few dozen pieces today, and when the market starts, I'll sell 100 gold coins." Also, I sent an anonymous letter to the "Monitor", saying that the military procurement was a kickback. Paralysis! Labor and management can't make money, no one wants to make it!"
