When they arrived in Hegu Town, the carriage stopped in front of the flamingo mercenaries, and Link unexpectedly found that Lucy was waiting for her at the door ahead of time.
This reflects the flamingo mercenary group's control over Hegu Town, yes, very good.
I haven't seen it for more than a month, and the mercenary regiment's resident has greatly changed. The original courtyard has been expanded by a full three times, and the nameplate at the door has been replaced with pure copper. A big flamingo is outlined with silver wires on it, which is very eye-catching. The gate and the courtyard wall have also been greatly repaired. The wall is made of huge stones, which are tall and thick. The gate is divided into two layers. , and has excellent defense. The mercenaries who came in and out also wore uniform wolf-skin armor, hung around their waists, and the weapons strapped to their backs were all made of fine steel, no worse than the militiamen in Hegu Town. He is high-spirited, with his chest held high when he walks, and he has a kind of arrogance like an eagle watching a wolf.
Well, this is the mercenary group in his mind, and the thousands of gold coins he dropped were not in vain.
Link was very satisfied with this.
After getting out of the carriage, Link already had a smile on his face and boasted, "This is even better than I imagined."
"It's all the result of burning money. With nearly 200 members, the equipment alone cost a full 1,000 gold coins." Lucy is also very satisfied with the results, but spending money is too distressing, it is really a waste of money ah.
Link laughed: "Gold coins are only useful if you use them, otherwise they will be cold iron bumps wherever you put them."
Lucy curled her lips helplessly, but she knew that she couldn't convince Link, and who knew that he would make money, so she could only do her best to help him get locked up.
At this time, Lilith and Molly also got out of the carriage, and Link introduced: "This is my mother, Mrs. Lilith, and this is my sister, Molly. During this time, they lived in the mercenary group .”
When Lucy heard this, she immediately looked serious, saluted Lilith and Molly, and then introduced herself: "Madam, Missy, I am Lucy, your follower, and I am a swordsman."
Lilith saw that Lucy was wearing a fine blue-black crocodile leather armor, and she was carrying a magic sword with a faint white light on her back. The mercenary had completely different looks, and he couldn't help praising: "Okay, that's great, this girl is so handsome."
Lucy's pores were numb when she heard it. Since she became a mercenary, when others described her, she was called a cold-blooded beauty, an ice rose, and a goblin. This was the first time someone praised her with such a rustic adjective as handsome. It's Link's mother, she can only bite the bullet and accept it.
Molly was a little timid, without him, Lucy's aura was too strong, and when she stood there, she felt a huge sense of oppression in her heart. She only dared to stand behind Link and secretly glanced at this beautiful and charming woman. A woman like a fairy.
She is very envious of Lucy, who is strong and independent, and looks like her brother's right-hand man.
'My younger brother is really promising, so many people help him, but I can only let him take care of him, alas. Molly suddenly complained, she was tired of the puppet-like life in the castle.
Here, Link took Lilith and Molly into the mercenary group. Along the way, he gave some instructions carefully, and Lucy listened attentively. When they reached the meeting hall of the mercenary group, Link also finished explaining. He took out a big money bag and handed it to Lucy, which contained a full 1,000 gold coins, which were expenses for his mother and sister.
Lucy took the purse and seriously assured Link: "Don't worry, my lord, there won't be any mistakes. Madam and Miss's daily expenses must be the best!"
Link was absolutely assured of Lucy's ability to handle affairs, and turned around to explain a few words to his mother and eldest sister, nothing more than saying that he should not miss him, and that he would visit them in Hegu Town from time to time.
After saying a few words to appease the slightly uneasy emotions of the two girls, Link's expression was slightly solemn, and he began to talk about the business of the territory.
"Lucy, I have received a reward from the king, and I am now a hereditary baron. The Field Wilderness in the southeast is already my territory. Soon, I plan to invest in the construction of the territory. Now, there are some preparatory work that needs to be completed."
Lucy was surprised, and then delighted. Link became an official nobleman, so as his follower, wouldn't she have a chance to be promoted to become a female knight
A knight is also an aristocrat. She is a peasant girl, and she has the opportunity to become an aristocrat. Lucy feels like a dream, and she is more and more grateful for the choice of following Link.
As for the remoteness and barrenness of the Field Wilderness, Lucy didn't think about it at all. No matter how barren it is, it is still a territory. If the condition of the territory is bad, then spend effort to build it. Didn't the Flamingo Mercenary Group start from scratch? Is it built? As long as there are adults around, nothing is impossible!
She immediately said, "My lord, what do you need me to do?"
"There is not much work in the early stage. You should send a few experts to draw a map of the Field Wilderness. Not only the terrain, but also what kind of bandits, wanted criminals, and forces are there. My goal is very simple. That is to ensure that in the territory, even if ordinary people walk at night, they don't have to worry about attacks from thieves and robbers."
"There is no problem. The map can be drawn in as little as a month." Lucy assured that it was nothing more than an investigation mission, which mercenaries are best at.
Link nodded: "Very good. After the map is completed, we will start to suppress the bandits. During this period, you, Yake, Gridan and the others need to strengthen the training of the regiment members."
Lucy's heart was pounding, and she heard Link's meaning. This is the rhythm of preparing the flamingo mercenary group to become the territory guard army. Afterwards, they will change from a non-governmental organization to an official one. He is the commander of the army!
With shining eyes, Lucy stood up straight, straightened her tall chest, and said loudly: "Master, just look at it, the flamingo is the sword in your hand! It will never let you down. "
Link nodded: "Okay. Then I have some urgent matters now, and I have to go back to East Valley College immediately, so I won't stay any longer."
After the matter had been explained, Link bid farewell to his mother and eldest sister, then turned around and left the mercenary group. The three daughters naturally sent him out, and got into the carriage after watching him.
The carriage restarted and headed towards East Valley Academy of Magic.
Lucy watched Link go away, until the carriage was out of sight, she looked back with some reluctance. Adults are getting busier, they always come in a hurry and leave in a hurry.
Her eyes fell back on Lilith and Molly, and she felt much better immediately. The lord entrusted her mother and sister to her, which showed the lord's absolute trust in her, and the lord will definitely come back often in the future, which is amazing very nice.
Thinking of this, Lucy said softly, "Madam, miss, please follow me."
…
East Valley Academy of Magic.
White has already arrived in front of Verola's magic tower. This is not his first visit to East Valley Magic Academy, but this is his most intense trip to the academy.
Before knocking on the door, he couldn't help thinking: "Will there be people from other companies rushing ahead of me? What should I do if the magician refuses to cooperate? What if he opens his mouth like a lion?"
His heart was up and down, uneasy.
It's not that his mental quality is poor, it's because this cooperation is so important.
This Link magician's enchanting skills are so good that it is indescribable. He is a true enchanting master. Compared with him, the so-called masters who are touted in the market are completely scum.
What is even more exciting is that these suddenly thrown magic ornaments and a large number of exquisite magic scrolls appearing on the market all have specific magic marks, from which White keenly smelled a message.
This young magician is on the rise, and he's desperately short of money!
The lack of money means that there will be a large number of enchanting products coming out in the future. If he can successfully take advantage of the momentum, then the Green Leaf Trading Company will definitely soar, and his footsteps will definitely break out of Hot Spring City, and may even break out of the Norton Kingdom and the Southern Business Union. The Big Mac Chamber of Commerce will compete for the top.
With such a huge opportunity, he couldn't help being nervous.
Standing at the door for more than three minutes, White took a deep breath, managed to calm down, and gently knocked on the door of the magic tower.
'Tuk tuk tuk', the voice was very soft, because White knew that those magic apprentices were all eye-catching, and at the same time they didn't like to be disturbed.
After waiting for about ten seconds, the door opened, and it was opened by a young girl who looked at him curiously, and asked, "Who are you?"
White has seen all kinds of people, but this is the first time he has seen such a beautiful and delicate girl, he was taken aback for a moment before replying: "White, my name is White. I run a firm called Green Leaf Firm, I am looking for Link Magic division."
"Looking for my mentor?" The little girl was Love. She frowned and shook her head when she heard this, "Mr. White, you came at a really bad time, and your mentor is not here."
"Ah~" White was immediately disappointed, and he asked unwillingly, "Can you tell me where he went?"
The little girl was very vigilant, and refused without thinking: "That's not okay."
The tutor has many opponents, and Aunt Moira has repeatedly instructed that she must not talk about the tutor's whereabouts, especially not to strangers.
White looked at the little girl's determined expression, and knew that he couldn't ask anything. If he was in Hot Springs, he could use gold coins to pry her mouth open, but in East Valley College, he was nothing. Higher than the top, it is very rare for the little girl in front of me to talk to him for so long.
"Alas~" White was a little disappointed, excited, thinking that he had found a big opportunity, but in the end he missed it. This feeling of loss is really uncomfortable.
"Thank you." White could only turn around and leave. He was going to wait at the gate of the academy until Link came back. Unexpectedly, just as he turned around, he saw a black-haired young man approaching him not far away. come over.
At the same time, the surprised voice of the little girl behind him came to his ears: "Teacher, why did you come back so early? Didn't you say you would stay for half a month?"
The person who came was Link who had just returned to the academy.
