Chapter 399 398. The day Stromgarde was established - [Monthly ticket extra 510]
Taipal considers himself a man who has seen the world.
Although his family background is not as exaggerated as that of Brother Xiaofu, Lao Huo, Xiaowei Ming and Mrs. Shui, but comparing it to the overall level, it is not difficult to conclude that Mr. Taipal is actually a successful person with "little wealth"
person.
And what he is most proud of is that he achieved financial freedom entirely with his own hands and wisdom, and he has already achieved the first step of financial freedom at a young age. None of this was done by others.
In short, he is a very confident person in all aspects. However, even so, when he saw the mission shared by Uncle Fording, the honorary knight who always adhered to the spirit of RP couldn't help but break the rules and cried out in his heart.
!
Is this development team so considerate?
Knowing that their Riptide Knights were just an empty frame at the moment, they simply pulled a knight girl from the background with a good background and a noble and leader temperament to join them to help them quickly build a knighthood.
There are shelves.
Moreover, the prompt at the end of the mission has already hinted to the two captains that all the materials needed by the Riptide Knights can be obtained from the family of Miss Pinkie in front of them.
Coupled with Miss Pinkie's unique life experience, she is the granddaughter of Lord Kudel, the hunting baron!
Look, look, these key elements are all complete.
Who would believe you if you said this was not a "surprise" prepared by the development team for them!
"The Riptide Knights welcome all travelers who are determined to defend justice, help the weak and guard the light! We welcome you to join us, Miss Pinkie Pie."
Uncle Fording took a deep breath, and he put on the momentum and posture that a "professional RP party" should have and said loudly:
"You can become a member of us at any time as long as you want."
"etc!"
Tapal immediately spoke up to stop Uncle Fording from trying to pull Miss Peach into the Knights. He held the hilt of the sword at his waist and explained to Miss Peach, who was blinking, very seriously:
"I'm not against this wise decision, I just think you should at least get to know us before joining us. Our Riptide Knights came in response to the call of the world. Although there are currently only two vanguard groups, follow-up support is already here.
On the road.
We will eventually build our own city on the land of Transia.
I personally welcome you to join us. However, Miss Pinkie, you must understand that we are a faith organization and not an ordinary military force.
The faith called 'Holy Light' does not currently exist in this world, and we cannot exert the purifying and healing power of the Holy Light here. However, this does not weaken the determination of us loyal knights to defend our faith.
What I want to tell you is that if you already have your own beliefs on this continent, then joining us recklessly is not the right choice.
Because our Holy Light morality is incompatible with the overly personal gods on this land."
"Oh, don't worry about that."
Pinkie Pie shrugged, played with her riding crop, and said:
"I come from the Plantagenet Kingdom. When I was studying in the Genoa Peninsula, my country had already eradicated its own state religion. We are all people without faith. At least in the eyes of the witch hunters, we are a group of faithless people.
As for myself.
In fact, I have not been very interested in things like faith since I was a child. Perhaps it is because the teachings of the old religion are too weak and idealistic in my opinion, and they are full of a kind of stale preaching, which is not to my liking?"
"Miss! Please don't discuss faith in such a casual manner!"
Ms. Liwen next to her immediately reminded:
"Especially now that we are in the place where Avalon is watching. You don't have to believe it, but you can't show such obvious disdain, let alone say bad words about it. This will cause trouble for you and your family."
"Okay, okay, I understand."
Miss Pinkie stuck out her tongue, then coughed, and said with a serious look to Uncle Fording and Tapal in front of her:
"So, what you are saying is that in order to join you, you must first believe in the Holy Light?"
"No, the Knights do not force members to believe in the Holy Light, but you must at least have some understanding of our otherworldly beliefs."
Taipal gave Uncle Fording a wink, and Uncle Fording blinked, and then said aloud:
"We came across the gap between the worlds, and we did not carry any books of the Holy Light with us.
But don't worry, our loyal believers are already copying those scriptures and teachings and the legends and stories of the Holy Light in another world. After the first draft is completed, we will give it to you to read as soon as possible.
However, before you make a final decision, we cannot allow you to join our knights. Please understand that we also have our own rules and regulations and our own style of conduct."
"Ah, of course I can understand."
Miss Pinkie Pie was not angry. She waved her hands and said:
"I didn't expect to be able to successfully join an organization with a specific action plan in one go, but I'm curious. You claim to be the defenders of the Holy Light, so your combat effectiveness should be very strong, right?
Why are all the knights I saw in the camp so weak, even my escort soldiers can look down upon them in terms of strength."
"Ahem, this is caused by the fact that we lost most of our strength due to traveling to another world."
Taipal made nonsense:
"Even the great lords who can fight one against a hundred in another world will be stripped of the power of the Holy Light after they respond to the call and enter the new world.
But this is nothing to us.
We will face challenges here to quickly grow stronger and ultimately regain our strength, and spread the virtues of the Holy Light here."
"Is that so?"
Miss Pinkie nodded, seeming to accept this statement. Then she poked her cheek and suddenly realized:
"No wonder you are growing up so fast! I heard from grandpa that you can generally break through the Black Iron Trial within a month. Such a large-scale promotion is simply a miracle."
"Well, yes, that's why. The rules of the world are different after all. Although we have lost our power, the talents belonging to the strong still exist."
Uncle Fording quickly gave himself a "patch", then he coughed and said:
"But Miss Pinkie, you come from the famous Sivir family, which gives us a merciless request. As you can see, the Knights have just been reestablished in Transia, and the favor of Lord Monmurphy has given us a piece of cake.
We are very confident that we can build Stromgarde as a territorial stronghold to be developed.
However, the supplies needed by the knights were still in short supply.
The Cadman People's Army came to our aid, but the weapons and armor they used did not comply with the Holy Light's maxims. We are in urgent need of real knight equipment to rearm us.
Therefore, if possible, we hope to use your connections to urgently purchase a batch of equipment from the Sivir family, including combat plate armor, knights' harness, and warhammers and greatswords that are in line with our beliefs."
"We will pay according to the market price."
Taipal added:
"The teachings of the Holy Light do not allow us to take advantage of our fellow travelers. Please rest assured that this transaction is just asking you to be a middleman and has no other meaning."
"Hey, you guys think too much."
Although Pinkie Pie is very smart, she is not stupid.
She quickly understood the meaning of Tapal's words. This knight, who was a head taller than her, was afraid that she would think too much. It seemed that they really cared about their own dignity and honor.
"My father has been seeking to expand the market for the family business in more ways. When he received the order from Transia, he would only be happy to have an additional partner, so he would have no other ideas.
So, how many sets of equipment do you need?"
Knight Ji of the Sivir family asked:
"What style and specifications do you want?
The armor produced by our family is divided into several levels. The price difference between the lowest level 'cavalry' and the highest level 'general' is ten times. The armor I am wearing is the 'general' series, which was introduced by the family to the Capet Workshop.
High-grade plate armor produced using a hydraulic forging press.
If necessary, we can also enchant your armor, and each set of general plate armor will come with a set of weapons of the same quality."
"Well, the light of wealth emanating from this luxurious plate armor on your body is enough to blind the eyes of poor knights like us. I don't even dare to boldly inquire so as not to irritate my poor wallet and make my heart feel too much.
Stopped in shock."
Taipal sighed pretentiously and said:
"As you can see, the Knights are currently in dire straits, so they can only order the lowest level of plate armor and equipment. The first batch requires 150 sets and matching war hammers.
However, we have requirements for the style of armor and weapon style. They must strictly abide by the armor style of the Knights of the Silver Hand and have sacred mottos engraved on the armor and weapons."
"There is an extra charge."
Knight Liwen next to her is indeed the butler of the blond knight Ji. She has already taken out her notebook and started recording customer requests.
The female knight with black hair and black eyes said seriously:
"With your current number of people, I think 150 sets is a bit too much.
100 sets is more appropriate. The Sivir family’s plate armor is famous throughout the human world for its reliability and durability. As long as there are qualified blacksmiths to perform maintenance and repairs, they can be guaranteed to be used until the end of the Black Disaster."
"No, at least 150 sets."
Uncle Fording shook his head and said:
"Grand Duke Tris has made a psychic prediction. In the next few months, the door to the other world summoning will be very stable, and we will have elite backup coming to Transia continuously.
150 sets is just a conservative number.”
"Then 300 sets!"
Knight Liwen waved her hand and suggested:
"You can enjoy the Sivir family's product discounts if you purchase 300 sets. Coupled with the reputation of Mr. Kudel and Miss Pinkie, the family workshop will probably give you a 20% discount.
It only requires about 40,000 gold coins, and if you still need to purchase horse gear, 60,000 gold coins will be enough."
"Sixty thousand?"
Uncle Fording and Tapal looked at each other.
This number is truly terrifying.
The current funds on the Riptide Knights' books are less than 5,000, which is the working capital accumulated after everyone actively participated in the "Transia Census" activity.
However, the two of them were not worried about this. After reaching a verbal agreement with Miss Pinkie Pie and Ms. Liwen, Uncle Fording left Typal in the camp to tell the curious Miss Pinkie Pie about the Holy Light and the Knights of the Silver Hand.
"Story", he quickly left the camp and used the Calculation Orb to contact the "loan" among the current players.
"What? Sixty thousand gold coins? That's a lot! I don't have any either."
Xiao Weiming's exclamation sounded from the other side of the calculation orb, and she said depressedly:
"Mrs. Shui and Lan Huahua have misappropriated a large part of the team's funds to purchase supplies. I only have more than 10,000 gold coins left in my hand. It's too late to collect them from you on the forum now.
How about you ask other people?"
"But no one else is as rich as you."
Uncle Fording said a little anxiously:
"I've already signed a contract with them, so I have to pay the deposit. Our brothers are here to represent the face of the Holy Light.
If there is a debt scandal, I'm afraid I will be purified."
“Who says others don’t have money?”
Xiaowei Ming would say sourly:
"The casino in Booty Bay has been making a lot of money recently. This old Huo is a damn talent. Go find him. He must have enough liquidity, but I don't know if he is willing to lend it to you."
"Booty Cove?"
Uncle Fording suddenly remembered that what Tapal wanted to talk to him about when he came over just now was related to the proposal of the village chief of Booty Bay, and it was also related to political topics among players.
This made Uncle Fording feel suddenly.
Holy shit!
This is really whatever he wants to do. No matter what Lao Huo wants to do in the five collective farms, as long as he is willing to lend a sum of money to the Torrent Knights to tide over the current difficulties, his group of people will definitely support it.
Anyway, the base of the Knights of the Storm is in Stromgarde, and the Novice Village is just Taipal's "private fief".
But this needs to be discussed with Taipal.
Uncle Fording thought this, and as he approached the tent, he heard Tapal telling Miss Pinkie the story of "Stratholme and the Dutiful Son" vividly.
He glanced furtively. Miss Pinkie listened very carefully.
Well, it's a little too serious, just like a child who likes to listen to bedtime stories. The joyful expression on his face is really indescribable.
This girl is really good at everything, she just screams——
Three days later, in the camp of the Torrent Knights, a family knight of the Sivir family received the high-level psychic package handed to him by Uncle Fording.
There was a deposit of 30,000 gold coins, on which Mrs. Tracey personally applied a unique psychic spell using Kudel's blood.
Only the direct bloodline of the Sivir family can open it.
The handover of this deposit also confirmed that the Torrent Knights will truly have their own armed forces, and thus can become independent from the embarrassing situation of being a vassal of the Cadman People's Army.
At the same time, in the open space at the front of the large camp, Honorary Knight Taipal and his brothers very seriously inserted a wooden sign symbolizing the faith of the Knights of the Torrent and the Holy Light Church into the ground.
This means that their stronghold will be officially established starting today!
Although it is currently a camp full of tents, the Stonemasons Brotherhood has accepted the order, and in at most half a month, a village named "Strongstorm" will appear on this land.
"It's not easy."
Taipal turned back to the arcane master Ma Lin behind him and said:
"Finally, we can have our own home in Transia."
"Well, I'm not as emotional as you."
Ma Lin complained:
"I just think that this is a stronghold city that is about to be built by our own hands. It will take a long, long time for it to become the Stromgarde we remember.
To be honest, I have no confidence at all whether this city can be built before the game's public beta.
But I don’t care about that now.”
He looked around, stepped forward with a very gossipy expression, and whispered to Tapal:
"What is the origin of that blond knight who has been following you these past few days? Why can I always see her in your office and tent?
Is that the cyber wife you found for yourself?
Depend on!
You are awesome, this modeling is perfect, do you understand?"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Taipal shook his head and said seriously:
"Ms. Pinkie Pie is just very interested in the teachings of the Holy Light and the tragic stories of the Knights of the Silver Hand, and has been trying to hear more legends and legends about the Knights of the Holy Light from me.
I am compiling these stories and hope to make them into a booklet so that more local people can spread this belief from another world in the future."
"What a belief, that's one of our slogans."
Ma Lin pouted and said:
"Just lie to others, don't lie to yourself, brother, we are all the same, we have no faith at all. In the eyes of those extremist witch hunters, we are all the same."
The guy who deserves to be burned at the stake.
Besides, the reason for believing in the Holy Light over there is that the Holy Light will really give you power. Now that you've reached Transia, the Holy Light can't control you here.
Since it cannot give us strength, there is only a slogan left."
"I used to feel the same way."
Tapal was silent for a moment. He looked at the hidden task of "guiding Miss Pinkie to join the Faith of Holy Light" on the character interface. He whispered:
"But at some point in the past, I suddenly realized that this matter may not be as simple as we thought. I think there will be surprises if we dig deeper in this aspect, and that will be where the development team wants to guide us.
