Hearing this question, Salvatore's expression was a little subtle.
"How should I put it... well, at least your guards are really capable..."
Seeing that Salvatore hesitated, Annan felt a little uneasy.
Those huskies, wouldn't they also start demolishing their homes
When you went out to demolish other people's homes, was your own home also demolished
Hard cycle
He couldn't help asking: "What happened? Or did they cause some trouble?"
"No, that's not the case. They're even helping people around the city, and now the whole of Frozenwater Harbor knows that their new lord has arrived."
Speaking of this, Salvatore added: "Of course, they handled their affairs very well, and they did not let go of their guard work, and even helped to patrol the whole city.
"And their loyalty to you is very high. Even if you sent some people to Roseburg to do sabotage, this kind of dangerous mission did not make these guards in the city feel dissatisfied with you. They even wanted to go Go to Roseburg and help 'because the mission is more important there' - yes, that's what they told me.
Recalling the actions of the players, Salvatore seemed to be less sleepy, and his whole body visibly became energetic: "I don't know where you found such a good and strange guard... When you enter During these two days of nightmare, many people came to see you every day.
"I can see that they are definitely not saying a few good things about you, nor are they here to show off, or to flatter you for the sake of wealth and power. They hope from the bottom of their hearts that you can give them Even more dangerous tasks, I sincerely hope that you will be safe and sound."
… Yes I know.
Because they definitely want more fun and exciting tasks. And definitely concerned about the safety of their only current faction leader...
Annan was silent, unable even to explain to Salvatore.
They don't love me at all, they just want the favorability I send them!
"In that case," Annan was a little confused, "why did you look so troubled just now?"
"Because they... are too diligent. They are quite diligent and friendly to the townspeople."
When the sleepy young wizard mentioned this question, his whole body became energetic, and he said endlessly: "I tell you, some of them even plan to work part-time! And it's not about guarding or teaching swordsmanship. work, but pruning flower branches, even sweeping the floor, guarding the tomb and so on!
"Some people even went to the militia to learn swordsmanship. At that time, the militia thought they were looking for trouble, and it was a mess... I found out later that they really came to ask for swordsmanship. But your guards are so good at swordsmanship, obviously at least They all had learned military swordsmanship for five years, and the result was that the militiamen were beaten miserably.
"The other townspeople were scared to death at first. They thought you were trying to take their property or their jobs, so you sent guards to blackmail them... There were even people who wanted to stuff them There was almost a fight over money. It was I who went to mediate and clarified the matter before calming them down.
"I asked your guards why they did that. And they said... they uprooted themselves to come here and they've got to make more money - until I told them you'd pay them. People give up the idea of looking for a job, security guards around the house."
Salvatore said with a strange expression: "They also said... they must earn more money, because 'there may be somewhere to spend money at any time'. But I have been here for several years, and I don't know that this frozen water port Is there anywhere to spend money…”
"Is that so..."
Annan was silent for a moment, then murmured in response.
Wait, do I still have to pay them
You bastard, don't remind them... and don't remind me of this! These players didn't even realize that they had wages to receive!
Annan was very sad in his heart.
Players are used to being exploited. The fact that this game doesn’t need krypton gold and is permanently free is enough conscience, they don’t even dare to think that they can still pay wages...
Hope they didn't believe Salvatore...
Just as Annan thought, the disheveled Salvatore continued:
"But even knowing this, many of them decided to go out to find work, some even planned to go hunting in the mountains, and some wanted to join the fleet to fish.
"They even wanted me to keep it a secret from you—but when you think about it, I can't keep it from you. After all, they are your guards. How do those people pay them? If they are tired and injured What should I do? What if they act in your name? What if they cheat people in your name? "
Salvatore's expression was complicated, and he looked at Annan delicately: "It's true that nothing happened now, but I still have to tell you about it. I can see that their skin and faces should be from good backgrounds, right? Why are all of them..."
... Are you so poor
Although Salvatore didn't say anything in the second half, Annan already knew what he wanted to say.
This is normal, and it is still very common for ordinary players to start farming to make money. Especially when the other half of the players were performing dangerous stealth and assassination missions, the half of them who stayed in the city would naturally take the initiative to help with logistical issues.
For example... make money.
But Annan breathed a sigh of relief.
No problem. As long as the players don't demolish their homes, it's a good thing.
It's normal to look for tasks everywhere, and it's also normal to test whether you can switch to a life profession and learn new skills. It's more normal to want to work to earn money... They don't steal, but know to work, Annan is even very pleased.
However, salary...
Annan was very troubled by this question.
Because he really has no money now.
No money, no life.
Fortunately, to be on the safe side, he paved the way for the players on the main mission, and sold a wave of misery.
Annan is now seriously thinking about whether to have a showdown with the players.
Just say that I have no money now, and I have no money to pay wages. Then when the salary is paid every month, I will directly send a good impression.
... Or, you can also let the players earn money and give them to you, and you can pay them a small amount of goodwill every month. At least let's make a transition during the closed beta period... As an aristocrat who doesn't have any money, there may be big troubles.
But this seems a bit like a group of dogs licking dogs and handing in funds on a regular basis... It sounds very cruel, but it makes sense when you think about it—
Anyway, Annan's favorability is equivalent to binding points, so isn't this equivalent to a monthly card!
Haven't you seen the monthly card? !
Is it abnormal to fix krypton gold every month? !
And this is not krypton gold, it just takes some time... What's the matter!
The more Annan thought about it, the more confident he became. He quickly convinced himself.
It's a happy decision like this, just let the players come back regularly to pay their salaries. Anyway, these two identities of myself are nobles, and I also know Priest Louis and Salvatore, a wizard who seems to have a lot of status.
If you want to buy something, the price and quality of Annan's here are definitely much better than the players who buy it by themselves.
This price difference can also be used as a krypton point to recover favorability.
Well, it's time to adjust the background.
Then you can tell them openly, I am cute, please give me money—
"Oh yes, one more thing."
Salvatore said suddenly: "Your guards don't know where they received the information...
"It is said that the people you sent to Roseburg discovered a major event that must be reported to you directly."
