Chapter two hundred and fifty eight beautiful women
Abagong not only has outstanding talents in finance, but is also very good at internal affairs.
Seeing the financial steward leading the hate warriors to negotiate with the soldiers, comfort the prisoners, and take care of the aftermath in an orderly manner, Downton knew that he had found a treasure, but he was only happy for a while before falling into trouble again.
"Xia Luo, the grocery store was burned down, what are you going to do?" Downton was going to the royal capital. This trip would take about two or three months to come back. When he thought about not being able to see Xian Lang for such a long time, he felt...
uncomfortable.
"I don't know!" Xia Luo looked at the moonlight. She was not as sad as the ordinary townspeople who lost their homes. For her, the grocery store was just a temporary shelter.
"How about..." Downton scratched his hair, his face full of embarrassment. He wanted to invite Xia Luo to the royal capital, but he was too embarrassed to speak.
"How can this idiot get a girl if he doesn't act more shamelessly?" Homer sighed, not expecting Downton to be so shy.
"What do you want to say?" Charlotte smiled, "You are hesitant, not like a man!"
"Why don't you go to the Royal Capital with me? Well, just treat it like a trip. When you come back, I will help you build the largest grocery store in Chenwu Town." Downton spoke very fast, and moved away after speaking.
He lost his sight, and his whole heart was beating rapidly, and he was about to jump out of his chest.
"Okay!" Charlotte glanced at the shop and shook her head imperceptibly. She would never come back. She only agreed to Downton because he was a half-friend and trusted her.
Downton clenched his fists, and a smile overflowed from the corners of his mouth, not noticing Celes' dejected look at all.
"Let me accompany you on another journey!" Charlotte murmured. She knew that Downton liked her, but there was absolutely no possibility between the two of them, so she decided to pretend to turn a blind eye.
"Master, the trophies have been counted. There are sixty-six bugbears and eighty-seven ogres that were slightly injured. Plus various orc captives, the total is one hundred and ninety-five. There are more than three hundred seriously injured.
The cost of treatment is too high. Moreover, even if they are cured, they will still be disabled and of little significance, so it is recommended to behead them all and turn them into military honors!" Abagong handed over two lists full of data.
"Well done!" Downton browsed quickly and taught Jackson, "Look at Abagon's handwriting, it's better than yours. You should learn more from it in the future."
"The total amount of property seized is less than 200 gold coins. There is nothing we can do. These gangsters are poor people, and they will spend the money they have." Abagong stood aside respectfully, looking like a gentleman.
"What do you think we should do with the injured prisoners?" Downton had a headache. He would not kill the prisoners, but it would be too costly to treat them.
"Since you don't want to kill them, you might as well do favors to those officers." Jackson suggested, "Anyway, if you want to be the mayor in the future, you will have to deal with them."
"Give it to them. Those prisoners will definitely die." Celes muttered. She was a kind girl after all. She believed that killing prisoners was immoral.
Jackson curled his lips, you are the death banshee of the dark camp. You are considered an evil existence by humans, but you don't even dare to kill prisoners.
"It's not necessary. The master will control Chenwu Town in the future, and his power will inevitably concentrate power. There is no point in winning over those officers who are fighting against the five scum." Abagon objected.
Downton thought of a solution, which was to sell the prisoners to the officers, but because Charlotte was there, he couldn't say this.
Although slave trading is a legal trade in the Western Continent, Downton wants to leave a good image for the girl without any stain.
"Master, you can sell the prisoners of war to those officers. They will definitely not be stingy with gold coins for military merit." Abagong has an excellent business acumen and quickly figured out a way.
Downton was silent.
Abagon saw Downton peeking at Xia Luo, and suddenly realized, and then quietly stepped away. This prisoner of war transaction really had to be carried out in private. From now on, he can just do these dirty work in secret, and he must not smear it on his master.
stain.
"You're a teachable boy!" Downton was very pleased. Abagon was much more useful than that good-for-nothing Jackson.
This time it was destined to be a huge profit. Those officers who had escaped had to buy it if they wanted to keep their military positions. There were many wolves but few, so Abagong simply held a small auction, and the one with the highest bid got it.
Three hundred captives who were about to die were actually exchanged for nearly 100,000 gold coins, which made Downton want to sell the rest, but he finally decided to take them to the royal capital, where there were more wealthy people.
, maybe it can be sold at a higher price.
Because Downton blocked the gangster's charge, half of Morning Mist Town was not burned down, and his home happened to be in it, so he invited Celes and the others to stay overnight and then leave tomorrow.
Jackson not only led his demon servants to guard the gate, but also coquettishly placed the battle flag on the roof.
When the townspeople passing by saw these heavily armed warriors and pointed their fingers, they all understood that after this battle, Downton had become the most popular young man on the border.
The morning sun rises and the golden sunshine shines everywhere.
After Downton and his party had a sumptuous breakfast, when they walked out of the room, Abagon was already waiting on the street with the three carriages they found overnight.
"Master, everything is ready." Abagong walked a little faster, showing respect at the right time without being rude.
"This outfit is nice!"
Downton was very satisfied with Abagong's service, which was simply too considerate.
"Thank you for the compliment, Master." Abagong ordered a set of black butler uniforms and wore white gloves. Although he looked very professional, it was always a little out of place on a goblin.
"Little princess, please come up here!" Abagon moved a stool to the carriage door and let Hu Tao and Celes board the carriage. The other carriage was naturally reserved for Downton and Charlotte.
"No, I want to be with my big brother." Hutao refused and circled around Abagon. He originally wanted to kick his butt, but after looking at his clean clothes, he gave up.
"Which one will you take?" Charlotte pointed to the carriage in front, and then pulled Celes and Hutao into the carriage behind.
"Master, just get her drunk and do it hard!" Jackson came close to Downton and flattered her softly. He saw that the master was interested in Charlotte, "If you are embarrassed, I will help you cover her eyes."
, spread her legs."
"Get out!" Downton glared at Jackson. "Let's go. By the way, you are not allowed to ride a Sherman or bear."
"Why?" Jackson, who originally wanted to show off, looked bitter and reluctantly stuffed the badge back into his pocket.
"Don't you think I've caused enough trouble?" Downton closed the curtains and stopped talking to them.
The convoy set off, followed by Jackson and Abagon on two brown horses. Quasimodo was too big to be dragged except by the war bear, so he had to return to the war space.
The royal capital of Frankfurt is Battleford. According to ordinary driving speed, it takes seven days to arrive from Chenmist Town.
In order to speed up the journey, the prisoners were also taken into the space by Homer, but maintaining their lives required a lot of magic stones, which made Downton very distressed.
Watching the harvested wheat fields recede from the field of vision, Downton leaned in the carriage and enjoyed the quiet time. From now on, he was no longer the commoner who had to work hard for three meals a day.
He may even become the mayor of a town, managing more than 10,000 people.
"I really want to continue like this!" Downton took a deep breath, and the fields were filled with the fragrance of earth.
"Well, is this enough?" Homer hated the fact that iron cannot be made into steel. "Thanks to the fact that you have the help of the ancient magic book, not to mention being a king. There is no problem in becoming the grand duke of a principality."
"Are you kidding?" The grand duke has a higher status than the actual duke. Apart from not having the title of king, he is the most powerful person in the principality. Downton doesn't think he has a chance.
In the north, the most famous Grand Duke is Jose Mourinho. Although the territory is smaller than that of a third-rate country, because it is close to the seaport, trade is prosperous and the economy is developed. It is an out-and-out piece of fat.
Several nearby third-rate countries coveted it and launched a brazen invasion war ten years ago. As a result, the legions they sent were crippled by Mourinho's Boer Order Knights. Even the second-rate empire Xueman was killed in his hands.
It was such a big loss that no country dared to cause trouble to him anymore.
"José? Hannah's last name seems to be the same!" Downton suddenly thought of that girl who looked like a royal sister. They couldn't be related, right?
"Look at your courage. Not to mention the Grand Duke, you have to marry several princesses, and they must be from the nine empires." Homer encouraged Downton, "Let me tell you, among the previous owners of the Grimoire, the worst
A king of a second-rate country married three princesses, you don’t want to break his record, do you?”
"I'm not even the mayor now!" Downton rolled his eyes.
"Don't worry. With your strength, I believe you will be able to stand out when you go to the royal capital. Maybe you won't even have to be the mayor and will be directly promoted to a higher position."
"I don't want to deal with those politicians. The border is better. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. I can do whatever I want." Downton is also ambitious. "I don't have a backing, so it's impossible for me to get up in the officialdom. I might as well start from the border.
But the top priority is to get a piece of territory quickly.”
"We should plan your life carefully." Homer projected a map of the north. "Even the barren lands are occupied by nobles. If you invade them, you will challenge the law and majesty of the kingdom, so you
The only way out is west."
"To the west? Are you going to the hills to eat wild vegetables? Become a native?" Downton said casually.
"It was only after I saw you taking those prisoners that I thought that you could conquer those indigenous tribes and let them work for you. Once you have accumulated enough strength, you can attack the Western Region."
"Haha, you are still the Great Grimoire, and you actually said such ignorant words. Do you think the kings on the hilly border haven't tried it? Decades of conquest experience tell them that hilly terrain will inevitably cause supply difficulties. Waiting for the soldiers
It took a lot of effort to find the indigenous tribes, but the harsh environment of high temperature, humidity and heat has caused a large number of non-combat attrition."
Elaine brought back a lot of books and told them to Downton, so he was not a country boy who didn't understand anything. "By the way, the indigenous tribes can still run away if they can't win, but the soldiers are not as familiar with the terrain as they are. This is also true."
This made pursuit difficult."
"Idiot, are your subordinates humans? They are the undead army. They will not dehydrate due to high temperatures, nor will they develop malaria due to mosquito bites. You have war space and can carry large amounts of supplies and even people." Homer taught a lesson.
Downton.
"Yes, after I conquer a few tribes, I can use a combination of stick and carrot to get the natives to fight for me." Downton straightened up.
"Ignorance!" Homer continued to lecture, "Because of the inconvenience of transportation, even if the indigenous tribes have precious herbs and minerals, they cannot sell them. The poor are no different from mountain monkeys? You can definitely trade and make a lot of money."
"Yes, we can also use bread to hire them to fight for us. They are indigenous and must be more familiar with other indigenous tribes than we are." Downton knew that if the specific operation was to be carried out, it would definitely not be that simple, but this was a feasible method.
"Yes, Dragon Hills is where you will make your fortune." Seeing Downton immediately start to draw inferences, Homer was very pleased. It was indeed much easier to assist a smart master than those idiots.
"That's why you must become the mayor!" Downton waved his fist, "Only in this way can we send troops in an honorable name!"
"It's a pity. Celes should be the princess of Xueman Empire. If you can be recognized by the king, you will have a strong backing. King Delankfurt will have to smile when he sees you." Homer teased,
It knew that this was impossible, not to mention that Celes had been away for more than three thousand years and her character had already changed. Her identity as a death banshee alone meant that she would not be recognized.
"Celeste also has a brother, what do you think will happen if he returns?" Downton was in a good mood now that he had a goal for the future. He was about to enter the library when the carriage suddenly stopped.
"Get out of the way!" Abagon's voice came, "Jackson, push this carriage away."
Downton stuck his head out of the window and saw a damaged carriage blocking the middle of the road. Melissa stood beside it, scolding Abagon.
"It's actually you?" Melissa's face lit up when she saw Downton, and she ran over quickly holding up her skirt.
The most beautiful woman in Chenwu Town wore a low-cut dress, with half of her fair breasts exposed. Because of the violent movements, her breasts swayed up and down, which was very tempting.
"What's wrong?" Downton got off the carriage. After all, he had spoken to him before, and it was too rude to talk to others through the carriage.
"I have something to go to the Royal Capital, but the carriage is broken down." Melissa looked annoyed, "Where are you going? The Royal Capital? To meet Elaine?"
"Yeah!" Downton couldn't lie, "Do you want me to help you?"
"Miss, the carriage is too damaged and cannot be repaired. Why don't you hire a new one?" the coachman apologized, sweating profusely.
"It's such a waste of time, and you think there are still carriages in Morning Mist Town?" Melissa complained, then she thought of something and looked at Downton happily, "By the way, there is a carriage here, I'll pay for it.
"Would you like to give me a ride?" (To be continued...)
