These gold coins are the commission paid by Lin Qi to Aton. wWW,QUanbEn-xIAoShUo,cOM
Hiring tens of thousands of mercenaries at a time requires a lot of work. Employees of the entire mercenary union must be busy, counting the number and personal information of mercenaries for Lin Qi, and even enthroning their place of origin and their historical status. Employment records, select outstanding and qualified mercenaries, and eliminate those scum with bad records.
This was an extremely complicated job, so Lin Qi paid one million gold coins as commission. Although the price was a bit higher, it was indeed worth it. Because this is not a one-time deal, Lin Qi still needs the help of the mercenary guild to deal with many things later, such as sending the families of these mercenaries to the Longshan territory, which requires the guild's efforts.
So this money is the money of President Aton and the money of the Mercenary Guild!
In the lobby of the mercenary guild, I want to take advantage of the guild! Well, President Aton is broad-minded and generous, and he doesn’t care about the loss of these two or three gold coins. If you say this, then there is something really wrong! In this day and age, two or three gold coins can buy a life!
President Aton's eyes were red. He waved his sword fiercely and shouted in a ferocious voice: "Whoever dares to touch a piece of the guild's money will be hunted down by the mercenary guild all over the continent! Damn it, great. God of mercenaries, someone dares to touch your gold coins on your territory!"
The mercenary captains stared at Graham fiercely, this stingy, mean, fat man with a vicious aura all over his body. They had deeply remembered this disgusting image in the past few years. fat face.
Slade tightened his grip on the low-grade holy weapon in his hand, turned to look at Lin Qi, and said in a deep voice: "Master, if you are willing to pay a copper and solve all the legal problems for me, A copper, I will kill him for you!"
Barba let out a heavy breath and said ferociously: "A copper? Slade, you shameless guy! Well, if the head of the house can wipe my butt with half a piece of papyrus, I can also help the head of the house kill him. Him! This guy, he is worthless! It’s just that he is a nobleman. Although he is a rubbish nobleman, he is still a nobleman after all!”
The leader of the Demon Wrath Mercenary Group, a silver-haired old woman who was over eighty years old, said coldly: "Stop being playful, as long as the head of the family can prevent the official from pursuing the death of this damn fat pig, there are many people here. People are happy to kill him for free!”
He stared at Graham hard. The silver-haired old woman sneered: "We all have many relatives and friends. Have you ever been tricked by this fat guy?"
The many mercenary captains present and the elite mercenaries they brought took a step forward at the same time, staring at Gram. Just like a group of hungry wolves who have taken a fancy to a fat little fragrant pig, they want to chew it up and swallow it in one bite, and then turn it into feces as quickly as possible to fertilize the fields.
Graham took a few steps back with an ugly expression. He screamed sharply: "Oh God, Vyas is a place with laws! You dare to touch a hair of mine, what is the crime of attacking a noble? You should know! Damn it, you dare to kill a noble , then the nobles of the entire continent will be your enemies!"
Lin Qi immediately took two steps forward. He smiled and bowed to Gram, and said in a manly voice: "Sorry, this definitely does not include me. If someone kills you, then. I will help him resolve all legal issues." No one will be held responsible for your death!"
Graham looked at Lin Qi bitterly, and said word by word: "Your name!"
Lin Qi took a deep look at Gram and said in a deep voice: "Longshan family, Turing Andelm Longshan, you can call me His Excellency Earl Turing! Small... small, insignificant. Baron Graham!"…,
Light a cigar. Slowly taking a puff of smoke, and then slowly spitting the smoke on Graham's face, Lin Qi asked softly: "Can you tell me, are you a new noble? Ah, your family History. More than twenty years?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Lin Qi turned around and smiled at the mercenary captains present: "Nobles. There are many kinds of nobility, aren't there?"
The leader of the mercenary group laughed knowingly. Just as Lin Qi said, even if they are nobles, there are many kinds of nobles in the Western Continent.
One type is the blood nobles. These families have been inherited from the Dark Calendar period. The family history is at least more than a thousand years. The ancestors of the family are the kings of various city-states, or the nobles and heroic knights under the kings, etc. The ancient blood nobles enjoy a high reputation in the Western Continent. Even the smallest knight, as long as his family is inherited from the Dark Calendar period, then their clansmen can hold their heads high in the upper class without bowing to anyone. .
There is also a kind of glorious nobles, which are the nobles who created the power of kingdoms large and small after the Dark Calendar period. These nobles may not have as long a history as the blood nobles, but they are often related to the blood nobles, and they are extremely capable, powerful, and powerful families.
For example, the current royal family of the Gallic Empire, the royal family of the Caesar Empire, etc.
Just like the Caesar royal family, their surname is Andelm. They have the same origin as the Longshan family. They are all descended from blood families during the Dark Calendar. Perhaps the Caesar royal family is just an insignificant branch of the great blood nobles, but when this branch establishes an empire, then they can be called glorious nobles!
In the aristocratic circle, the status of the honorary nobles is second only to the blood nobles, and in many cases they can even be on par with the blood nobles.
Under the honorable nobles are the general military nobles and meritorious nobles!
The nobles who have been inherited for more than two hundred years, started their fortunes due to wars, or were appreciated for serving the emperor or king, and finally received a title, are the sergeant nobles and meritorious nobles. Just like the Lion General Marquis Stein whom Lin Qi knew from the Caesar Empire, he was a military aristocrat through and through.
These nobles often hold the real power of a country and have the most practical influence on the continent.
And the so-called new aristocracy. . . Well, you can also call it a gold coin aristocrat! This kind of aristocracy has spread throughout the Western Continent in large numbers because of the emergence of the Vyas Commercial Federation. This kind of aristocrat is despised in the aristocratic circle as an upstart, a country bumpkin, a worm who overestimates his ability and wants to climb up, etc. . .
This kind of nobles often started their career only twenty or thirty years ago. Every word, deed, and action is disgusting. In the circle of nobles, they are ostracized. Many big shots and real nobles never even sit in the same room with the new nobles. Under the eaves.
But with the recovery of the mainland's economy and the development of commerce in various countries, there are more and more new nobles like this. Not only the Vias Commercial Federation, but also many other countries, there are countless business families coming to Vias to buy one or several noble status and go back to show off proudly.
Therefore, although the new nobles are looked down upon by others, they also control extremely huge financial resources and resources. Compared with ordinary people, they are also part of a superior ruling class. Although the core leaders of this ruling class do not admit this, ordinary people think so!
Therefore, Lin Qi could spit cigar smoke in Graham's face contemptuously and ask him contemptuously whether he was a new noble!
Even though Lin Qi's title was bought, but what he bought was the identity of the Earl of Longshan family, so he is part of the most noble blood nobles and honorary nobles on the continent. His identity and Gram's are A huge difference. …,
"Answer my question, Mr. Graham!" Lin Qi said slowly: "I, as the head of the ancient and noble Longshan family, I am issuing my commission here at the mercenary union! And you, a new noble, Who gave you the courage to come here at this time, a nouveau riche who relied on gold coins in exchange for an unknown baronage?"
Graham's face was swollen with anger. He stared at Lin Qi, and then slowly, slowly, and with great difficulty bowed to Lin Qi.
A flattering smile forced his way onto his plump face, and Graham said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, please forgive me for my unintentional offense. Of course, I apologize for my words and deeds just now! But like you A noble person will definitely not care about my rudeness, right?"
Graham smiled humbly, his small eyes blinking, and from time to time a cold light of unknown meaning flashed through his eyes.
Lin Qi smiled and nodded. He spread his hands and slowly blew out a puff of smoke: "Of course, I won't care! Why should I care about you, a noble noble like me? Okay, you can leave now. !”
With a sharp finger on Graham's nose, Lin Qi shouted sharply: "Get out of here as fast as you can!"
Graham turned around and walked away without saying a word. He walked faster and faster, and finally almost ran.
Lin Qi showed a ferocious smile. He grabbed a fist-sized stone from the ground and threw it at Gram. With a strange sound, the stone hit Gram's thick back. A faint magical light flashed across his body. The huge impact of the stone sent Gram flying seven or eight meters away, but it was It didn't really hurt him.
Immune to long-range weapons, Gram's magical equipment saved him.
After grunting a few times, Graham jumped up without looking back, and then fled in embarrassment with the four servants as quickly as possible.
Today, in the mission release hall of the Mercenary Guild, all of Gram's face was stepped on the ground by Lin Qi. But he didn't dare to raise his head or resist. Even though he was furious, he still didn't dare to complain.
For a baron bought with money to confront a nobleman like Earl Longshan, Graham really didn't have the courage.
He just panted bitterly and left here as quickly as possible.
