Rajesh's work scope is very wide. Simply put, he can do whatever he wants to make money. In his early years, he retreated from the battlefield. He was unwilling to be lonely and did not choose the lifestyle of Bonal. He formed a mercenary group to help the nobles work hard. At first, the management was very good, and it once developed to more than 600 people, but the goddess of luck obviously had no interest in this old man. His team was almost wiped out in a battle, and in the end he only escaped dozens of people. In order to survive, the group of people cheated and cheated and finally wandered to Aip Town.

Although this is a dirty and dark place, it can also be shrouded in light when the sun rises.

There are mixed mermaids in the town, but as long as you involve interests and have enough money, you can know at the first time that more things have happened in every corner of the mainland, including the secrets of the family, the little things between men and women, and even the color of underwear that the king wears.

People living in the shadows have their own behavior patterns.

Rajesh quickly figured out the relevant situation of the Elpso family, including the funeral of the old earl, the bloody storm caused by several top-ranked heirs within the family, and Elizabeth was forced to escape during the night of chaos and killing.

He never believed what was said from the mouths of officials and nobles. In contrast, people in Aip Town spoke much more reliable. Especially the old woman who sat in front of her smile and held a inferior crystal ball in her hand. She was said to be able to communicate with dead people and judge the future based on the astrological signs. Her real identity was actually a private wine dealer, and she also did intelligence business.

As long as she has money, she can tell you any secrets.

Stewart was not idle either. With Rajesh's guarantee, he walked into the home of a red-haired man with a sweet smile on his face at any time, took out a diamond the size of a corn kernel. After some bargaining, the red-haired man took out several purses from the secret safe, which contained 1,800 heavy gold pounds.

It is difficult for Tianhao to understand the madman pursuit and obsession of diamonds by white people in the south. This kind of crazy logic of gems should be traced back to a period that was even longer than the civilization era. The genetic memory of white people obviously includes this part, such as the "Mountain of Light" on the crown of Her Majesty the Old Lady Queen. In fact, diamonds are not rare substances. Diamonds made through artificial means on a large scale carbon conversion in the civilization era are cheap, completely tearing the lie that white diamond dealers "love is forever, and one is forever passed on."

But in this era, due to mining capacity and various conditions, the number of diamonds in the white world is very rare, resulting in expensive prices.

This diamond is worth at least 2,000 pounds. If it enters the market through normal channels, the real trading price should be around 2,700 pounds.

Stewart kept in mind the teachings of the young lords and did not pursue the highest interests at any time, as long as the normal conditions required at that time were met. Seventy percent, sixty percent, or even lower, could be accepted. Greed will cause many uncertain factors and put yourself in a difficult dilemma.

It is already very good to ship in places like Aip Town.

Poor ghosts and criminals will not buy this luxury, but the residents of Aip Town are not entirely composed of these people. Some guys with a hiding head and tail are actually very clean, and they are the spokespersons of the aristocratic commission.

Behind the red-haired man was a marquis. The reason why the famous noble did this was of course not to care about the poor people living at the bottom of society. This was a nest of thieves and the largest place for selling stolen goods in the entire Saxon Kingdom and other border countries. With enough cash, you can buy many wonderful "gategories" here, and the prices are very cheap.

Regarding this transaction that is beneficial to both parties, the red-haired man never mentioned any issues related to "source of goods" from beginning to end. Everyone is smart, and he only needs to be responsible for his master.

Stewart gave Rajesh five hundred pounds directly.

Bornard once said that his old friend is a stingy guy. His strengths and weaknesses are also obvious. As long as you give him enough money and make him feel that he will have more benefits when he is committed and keeps his promises and keeps his promises. He will let you experience what "customer first" means with all-round considerate service.

The Alpso family, Diamond, a young man with agility and clear thinking and courage, and his old friend who had served as a knight... holding the heavy purse in his hand, Rajesh took a lot of effort to suppress ideas like "swallowing" and decided to accompany Stewart and explore the sound of the wind from his old friend Bornard.

Adding to Rajesh, a total of twenty-six armed mercenaries left Aip Town.

He is a very prestigious mercenary leader. There is no reason why these people are willing to follow for a long time. The interests are actually very weak, and more because of Rajesh's personal charm.

People pulled four big carts and walked along Stewart's route toward the beach and reef on the back.

The car was full of corn and potatoes. According to Stewart's request, Rajesh bought a lot of them in the town. He didn't understand why he did this, and the other party didn't say it. He could only think according to common sense, thinking that this was an indispensable food consumption for the escort mission.

When we arrived at the hiding place of Elizabeth and others, it was already the next night.

Bornard gave Rajesh a close and eager hug. After a simple greeting, he began to discuss the details.

The mercenaries scattered around to form a warning, and each of them received a gold pound advance, which made them happy and willing to work hard for more rewards.

The Captain Obsidian, who has become a ghost, is obviously not a serious person. He recorded in his diary that the reef and cave are easily hiding. During the period when Stewart left, Elizabeth and others were not idle. They moved all the goods into the depths of the cave and sealed the entrance with stones. Bob also filled the soil between the cracks of the gravel, transplanted some shrubs that were easy to grow, and cleverly disguised them.

Elizabeth has been trained in the barbarian land for a long time, and the aristocratic temperament she naturally revealed made Rajesh sure that it was not a false alarm. Rajesh had already learned about the life of his old friend Bornal in recent years. Based on various information and information, he finally confirmed that this was indeed a normal escort mission, just like in a fairy tale, the evil queen wanted to monopolize the crown and use magic to send the princess to the deep forest to feed wild animals. She was the brave hunter who discovered the princess. As long as she was sent home safely, she could get a generous reward.

If it were another employer, Rajesh would not have had such trouble. He would directly lead the mercenaries to kill everyone and steal all the money.

He is more concerned about face, especially his old friends who have been with him for decades. The cruel world has forced many kind people into villains, but even the evil guys have one or two friends. This is the most basic principle of being a human being, and it is also the last, gentlest and warm corner in the heart of a bad person.

No one noticed when Stewart and Bob loaded corn and potatoes onto the boat and quietly paddled towards the sea while the night was dark.

There is a large reef in the northwest direction, enough to cover up the huge ship shadow of the "Viori".

They have been waiting and never left.

...

In the north of the mainland, Lock Dragon Pass.

The weather is getting hotter and it is soon midsummer.

Tianhao stayed in the military camp and did nothing, and lived a very monotonous life every day: he followed the team to have fun, was fully armed off-road, and had one-on-one or team-based confrontation training.

The food was pretty good, and every meal was guaranteed to have meat, but the amount was not that large. It was about two taels of small pieces on each person's head. This amount was not small for the white people in the south, and in the eyes of the barbarians, it could only be said that it was better than nothing.

The commander of the Lock Dragon Pass was Hu Yongxian. From his name, he could tell that he was a member of the Tiger tribe. This general in his sixties had outstanding military achievements. It is said that he joined the army at the age of twelve and was promoted to the city lord by his military achievements at the age of 22. The kind that actually used the purpose of cutting down people's heads as a means of developing territory is not a practice like Tianhao's business. Hu Yongxian was elected as the commander by the tribe conference when he was thirty-four. Since then, he has been stationed in the Lock Dragon Pass until now.

Another deputy commander is an Eagle tribe. The name "Ying Zhenquan" is the god in the minds of all savage archers. Many stories about shooting skills are based on him, and some use his name to replace the old man. In Tianhao's opinion, the legend is not completely fictional, and it must be based on it. However, too many praise sentences are used on a person in his fifties. With a little analysis, it is not difficult to see that there is a force quietly pushing it.

Maybe it is the Eagle clan, or maybe it is the Eagle Town Quan himself. They definitely don’t know what the “advertising effect” means, but they all know the importance of personal reputation to the ethnic group and individuals.

In contrast, Shi Zhenghao, the deputy commander, is much simpler. He ranks the lowest among the three commanders and his record is not that conspicuous. This is related to his long-term training. Unlike Yingzhenquan, he often appears on the front line, and rarely develops combat plans with Hu Yong first... In short, he is more like an executor.

Yingzhen is a person who is easy to deal with. He has a good relationship with all the commanding generals and nobles. When Tianhao first arrived, the first party he attended was the invitation of Yingzhen. More than ten people who attended were the city lords of various tribes. Some of them came to Loong Pass for the second time, or even the third time, and a few like Tianhao, who came to this place for the first time. Yingzhen treated everyone equally and did not have the airs of the deputy commander at all. He was very straightforward, toasted everyone, and spoke well, and was a superior leader with a good overall feeling.

When he was leading the troops to report, Tianhao met Hu Yongxian once. The commander was very busy and was also a great wizard with a noble status. It is said that he spent most of his time in the command room, concentrating on various maps. The old commander was not good at interpersonal communication, but was a kind and honest man. He never punished soldiers easily, and would always give various benefits to the people below when the situation allowed.

There are very few superiors who hold military power and divine power at the same time. The reason for the exception of Hu Yongsheng is that on the one hand, the environment of the Dragon Locking Pass is special, and on the other hand, he, the spokesperson of the god, does not participate in the power struggle between tribes. The title of "Great Wizard" is optional for him. Except for several important sacrifices a year, there is almost no shadow of Hu Yongsheng in daily prayers, and all the work is left to the priests below.

To be fair, the overall environment of Lock Dragon Pass is good, there is no intrigue or mutual conspiracy. Although the three commanders have very different personalities, they have common purposes, form and maintain a solid line of defense, and are always wary of enemies from the southern part of the mainland.

...

Tianhao sat naked in the corner of the edge of the training ground, shrouded in the shadow of the wall, squinted his eyes and looked at the clear sky without a trace of clouds, and said with emotion: "It's so hot."

It is noon now, and there is no need for a thermometer. Based on his experience, he can tell that the temperature today is at least thirty degrees and the surface temperature is even higher.

Long-term exercise makes his muscles full and smooth body curves not as eye-catching as physical warriors, but they interpret what a perfect combination of "handsomeness and male charm" is called. His skin is smooth, and his sweat is evaporated and leaves a little white salt powder at the intersection of the muscle plates. Weight-bearing training is a tradition of barbarians. You can take off your upper body armor when you rest, but you must keep your waist protection and leg armor below. These metal protective layers can provide shelter on the battlefield and increase the burden on hot weather.

He looks like the legendary strong and handsome god of war.

Liao Qiu handed a wet towel from the side: "Wipe it."

Although it was not an assembly line cotton yarn product from the industrial era, it had enough thickness. Tianhao took it casually, applied a handful of it on his face, and held a towel to slide down his neck. The feeling of wetness and coolness quickly spread in his chest. He breathed comfortably, feeling that the whole world became friendly to him at this moment.

"I thought you were a pampered and cowardly, but I didn't expect you to be able to fight." Liao Qiu smiled ugly. The scars on his face gave people a feeling of a monster. He elbowed Tianhao and asked curiously: "Who did you learn sword skills from? I haven't seen you practiced it!"

Staying bored all day in places like Lock Dragon Pass. Apart from taking the initiative to participate in training, Tianhao really has nothing to do. Liao Qiu took the initiative to ask to be his training opponent. Both sides fought against each other with wooden swords and round shields as weapons. From last week to now, they fought more than twenty times, and Liao Qiu was completely defeated.

He was surprised that Tianhao's elusive sword skills were so many ways to use the single round shield. He relied on impact, accelerated running at a short distance, stepped on the joints, and even moved closer to the head and rushed to the top with his head. With the clever sword drawing assassination, Liao Qiu lost inexplicably every time, but he was convinced.
