047 The Lord is indeed a good thing

The next morning, before the sun rose, Sawyah and Filina left the tavern and rode their horses to Xueman City.

He rode his horse on the road and walked slowly faster than himself. Even if he didn't take a shortcut along the road, he rushed to Xueman City before the sun set. When Saoya placed his horse in the stables of Xueman City and arrived at the city gate, the Xueman City gate was ready to close. A group of city guards were driving people who wanted to enter the city outside the city gate. After seeing Saoya and Feilina, two soldiers immediately came up.

"Who! The city gate has been closed, you...ah, it turns out to be Lord Knight! We, we don't know you are here."

The two soldiers started shouting before they got close. It was obvious that they were very skilled in their business. After getting close, they suddenly recognized Saoya and immediately stuttered, for fear that Saoya would not be happy to see them and teach them a lesson.

Although the knights are not aristocrats, they are much stronger than the lowest-level city guards like them. If you teach them a lesson because of your rude words, no one will speak for them.

However, Sawyer was obviously too lazy to pursue them, so he waved his hand to signal them not to be nervous. When the two of them were not so excited, he asked, "Can we still enter the city now?"

"Of course, please come with me, two."

The two soldiers bowed slightly and trotted in front to lead the way for the two. After seeing this, a group of people who wanted to enter the city were a little moved. Several of them even quarreled with the city guards and asked to enter the city.

"What's the argument? I'm a knight! If you have the ability, you can become a knight, and I'll let you into the city too! Now I've all been separated! Otherwise, don't blame me for arresting people!"

Seeing this, the team leader who was in charge of maintaining public order directly shouted on the top of the city, and the people outside the city gate dispersed in disappointment.

After entering the city, Filina originally wanted to go to the Mare Banner to eat something, but Saya took her to Longxiao Palace directly, which happened to be dinner at Longxiao Palace. Balgoff didn't mind seeing the two who suddenly arrived, but just asked the guards to add two more stools.

"Lord, we are back from Hosgar Peak."

Uncle Ba was easy-going, and Soya couldn't do it casually, but instead saluted Balguff before pulling the stool and sitting down.

"Good, not bad, worthy of being the legendary dragon descendant! Have you been recognized by the Graybeard Masters?"

"That's natural. The Greybeard Masters have recognized the identity of Filina and me and taught us the skills of Dragon Roar."

Balgoff, who was sitting in his seat, nodded with satisfaction when he heard this. The nobles and generals present were also a little surprised and envious, and they started to communicate with each other.

"Snowman City Reputation 2o!"

Hearing the reminder in his ears, the smile in Sawyer's eyes became even stronger. Now the reputation of Xueman City has reached 85 o'clock. You can get the title by working a little harder.

After thinking about it, Sawyah stood up again and said to Balgoff:

"Lord, I have sent you your greetings to the Masters of Graybeards. Masters ask me to bring you some things."

After saying that, Sawyah took out a small cloth bag from his waist and handed it to the guard behind him. The guard immediately gave the small cloth bag to Balguff.

Balgoff took the small cloth bag, opened a corner and took a look, then quickly wrapped the small cloth bag again, put it in his arms with a serious look, and his eyes at Soya became softer.

"Soya, are you interested in becoming a nobleman in my Xueman?"

"I'm so grateful." Sawyer bowed again.

"Okay! From today on, you will be the Lord of Xueman! Avensey, go and draw a notice to tell my subordinates that they have another Lord!"

"Yes, Lord Lord."

Provantus Avensi, who was somewhat bald, stood up from his seat, slightly undone and left the hall. At the same time, two prompt sounds rang in Suoya's ear:

"Snowman City Reputation 2o!"

"You have obtained the lord's title and open the military system."

Before Suoya could check the military system, he heard Uncle Ba say:

"Soya, since you have obtained the title of Lord, you can buy a property in this city at a low price. I remember that there seem to be several houses for sale in the plains. You can go and talk to Avensey. In addition, you can also recruit some mercenaries or adventurers to protect your safety as your private soldiers. If you don't know anything, you can also ask Avensey, and he is also clear about this."

"Thank you, Lord, for your advice."

Sawyer nodded here, but he was not in a hurry to find Avansi. After all, he was still drafting an announcement to become a lord, and it was not good to leave the table halfway. The most important thing is that it would be a waste not to eat so many dishes!

Half an hour later, Soya touched her bloated belly, and a foodie heart finally stopped thrilling after being full of wine and meals. Then she said goodbye to Uncle Ba and many ministers and generals with satisfaction. However, Feilina around her was still eating... Soya felt ashamed.

In the end, Sawyah pulled the edge of Feilina's armor and said goodbye to Uncle Ba very sorry, while dragging Feilina who was still trying to grab something and stuffed it into her mouth, leaving Longxiao Palace and following Avenxi to Avenxi's house.

In reality, Avensie no longer lives in the small room in the residential area of ​​Longxiao Palace. As the clerk of Balgoff and his colleague is also the housekeeper of Xuemantang, Avensie naturally owns his own property, and it is a three-story villa in Feng District. Soya can only express envy of this.

"You want to buy a house? You also need to train private soldiers?"

Sitting in the reception room on the second floor, Avensey was not surprised by Soya's problem. She just asked a servant who looked like a housekeeper to go back to the room and took out a few deeds and handed them to Soya. She also asked someone to get a map and spread it on the table, and began to introduce these properties to Soya.

The three properties are all ordinary houses in Pingyuan District, and the most expensive ones are only 3,000 gold coins. The cheapest small house is even only 800 gold coins, which is only one percent of the price of Fengyuan District. The 100-fold gap makes Sawyer shocked.

After listening to Avansi's brief introduction, Sawyer chose a two-story building. According to Avansi, the house includes a master bedroom, two rooms and two servants' small rooms, as well as a living room, a dining room and a kitchen. The toilet is also connected to the Xuemancheng groundwater system.

Regarding the issue of servants and private soldiers, Avensey just said that Sawyer could send a notice to recruit servants and private soldiers. However, he did not recommend the private soldiers recruited by Sawyer, but suggested that if there was something wrong with Sawyer, just hire a mercenary group, because if you hire a separate mercenary or adventurer, not only the quality is uneven, but the loyalty is also difficult to guarantee, but the formal mercenary group is not as convenient as a formal mercenary group.

Sawyer did not agree with this. After thanking Avensie, he and Filina went to the guest room to rest with Filina under the guidance of a servant of Avensie.

The next day, Saoya took Feilina and under the leadership of Avensie to see the property. Old Daiwen was also found by a servant of Avensie. It is said that he participated in an auction a few days ago and sold all the pine leaf cakes and fruit wine in his hand. After deducting the commission at the auction, he also earned more than 2,300 gold coins. Saoya was also very happy about this and immediately stated that he could take 10% of the profits Old Daiwen earned as a salary.

After seeing the property, Sawyer expressed his satisfaction and asked about the selling price. The price of 2,500 gold coins was instantly sold. He just felt that more than 2,000 gold coins were considered rich, but he couldn't afford a house.

After gathering the money he had on him, he barely collected more than 2,500 gold coins. After gritting his teeth, Saoya finally bought the property. Although he would spend all his gold coins, he had a "home". As a more traditional Chinese, Saoya still yearned for the concept of home.

However, when he paid the money, Avensey told him that as a lord, he could enjoy a 10% discount when buying a house, which immediately made Sawyer relieved. At the same time, Avensey also told him that in fact, Lord Balguff had planned to give him a reward of 1,000 gold coins before. Although it had not been approved, it can now be used to advance the room fee.

So after paying the money to send Avensey away, Sawyer found that he had a "huge sum" of about 1,300 gold coins left. After thinking for a while, Sawyer took out a thousand gold coins from the remaining money and threw it to Old Devin to operate, including finding a reliable servant to clean up the house.

He was going to hire a small mercenary group to escort him to the Kinagshu Forest. After all, this time he needed to travel across borders, so Bjollem could not take care of his face. If he didn't hire a mercenary group, the carriage company would not take on this order.

However, when it comes to hiring mercenaries, Sawyer did not directly recruit mare banners. Although most mercenaries without missions would leave contacts, and even the leader lived in mare banners, the quality was completely impossible to guarantee. There was even a rumor of killing employers over the road. After all, at this time, some unregular mercenary groups would occasionally play a guest appearance in the robber group.

Although Sawyer was not afraid of being hacked, he didn't want to get into trouble. In the end, he went to the Yuewaska Hall and contacted a mercenary group with good reputation and strength through the comrades.

The name of this mercenary group is Silver Flame, with a total of fifty people. Including the leader, there are two high-level warriors (level 3o), one high-level assassin, three intermediate destruction mages (level 2o, destruction 5o), two intermediate priests, seven intermediate assassins, twelve intermediate archers and twenty-three intermediate warriors. Their strength is also extremely strong.

The person who talked to Saoya about commission was the leader of the mercenary group, Divocost. The name in Old Noord means the devouring wind. It has a silver length and a square face, but it unexpectedly gives people a sense of firmness. Saoya's first impression of him was very high.

However, when talking about the commission, Divo did not allow it at all. He insisted on the reserve price. He only went to Kinagshulin for at least 500 gold coins. If someone was seriously injured or killed, he would have to pay a considerable settlement fee, and he would have to pay 80% of the round trip in one lump sum, which is 800 gold coins.

Both sides tugged in the room for half an hour, but they were unable to convince each other. It was not until the news that Sawyer became a lord that Divo gave in a little and agreed to Sawyer's request for 300 gold coins one-way.

"Tsk, this Lord is indeed a good thing."

After signing the contract with the mercenary group, Sawyer shook hands with Divo and sighed, Divo smiled for granted:

"Because, as a noble, you always have some privileges, and the status of a noble is the best certificate of credit. The most important thing is that even if you are not able to pay enough fees, the lord will pay it temporarily for you, and you only need to be responsible for the lord."

"Well, that is, the so-called 'accounting'?"
