Throwing Money
Time is passing gradually.
After this trip to Thun, Earl Reagan and others finally embarked on their return journey.
They left the city of Thun and returned to the territory of the Black Forest.
Everything seems to be back on track again.
Except for Miss Salona, who was still a little obsessed with Dar and was reluctant to part with the prosperity and beauty of Thun, there was nothing else.
But soon, he couldn't remember these things.
Something new caught his attention.
"What?"
Dar looked at Yamu with a shocked look on his face: "Are you going to find trouble with those resentful spirits?"
"Why, can't it?"
Yamu didn't even raise his head, he just stared intently in front of him.
"It's not impossible."
Dar said: "But that place is really dangerous, can we really do it alone?"
"Of course not."
Yamu nodded: "So I need to rely on you."
"I?"
Dar looked confused.
"yes."
A smile appeared on Amu's face and he looked up at Dar: "Don't look any further. Uncle Reagan still has a knight guard in his hands."
"Don't you always want to lead this guard in battle?"
"You want me to tell my father about this?"
Dar's expression gradually turned frightened.
Dahl's fear of Count Reagan was engraved in his bones.
But this time, after Yamu's repeated persuasion, he finally decided to give it a try.
The temptation to lead the Knight Guards in battle was simply too great.
For Dahl, this has been his dream since childhood.
Looking at Dar in the distance with a tragic face, as if he was going to die, Yamu continued to write a letter with a smile on his face.
"To Dear Mr. Karim"
This time he met many people in the city of Thun, and the strongest among them was Karim, the Silver Knight.
Yamu doesn't care about anything, as long as he feels that the friendship is still in place, he will directly write an invitation.
However, after careful calculation, it seems that it is still not enough.
If you want to suppress the resentful spirits in the dense forest, and even the female corpse behind, the number of knights cannot be reduced.
And so far, even counting Karim, there are only two knights on his side.
This is not possible.
After thinking for a moment, Yamu picked up the pen again and began to write a letter.
"Please deliver the letter to them."
Looking at the messenger in front of him, Yamu warned him.
"A letter from Amu?"
In the city of Thun, Miss Mitty looked at the messenger with a surprised look on her face. She couldn't help but fell into deep thought while looking at the content of the letter in front of her.
After a moment, a smile appeared on her face and she walked out quickly.
Outside the city of Thun, inside the headquarters of the Helian Chamber of Commerce, a notice was quickly posted, attracting everyone's attention.
A bounty knight traveling in various territories looked at the notice board standing in front of him and couldn't help but pause.
"What is this going to do?"
"Recruiting knights and knight apprentices, is this going to be a war?"
"It seems that it is not a war, but a purge of resentful spirits."
"Wraith spirit? Is there such a thing now?"
There is a detailed explanation about the wraith on the notice board next to it.
Most people left disappointed immediately after looking at this introduction.
According to the introduction, these resentful spirits cannot be dealt with by ordinary people. Only knights or knight apprentices who have mastered the power of breath can deal with them.
In other words, this mission has no chance for ordinary people.
This disappoints most bounty hunters.
"If you want to hire a knight, do they offer a starting price?"
It didn't take long for them to start laughing at the mission client's whims.
Knights and knight apprentices are rare species, and the price of hiring them is definitely not low.
Not to mention such a dangerous mission as fighting against evil spirits.
You want to hire someone, but others are not willing to do it.
But when another notice board was posted, there was a sudden silence.
Everyone's faces were filled with shock, and their faces were filled with envy.
Five hundred gold coins for the knight and forty gold coins for the knight's apprentice. This was the price Yamu finally offered.
To all the mercenaries present, this price seemed like a sky-high price.
Looking at the price, the middle-aged man who originally wanted to leave couldn't help but stop and stared at the notice board.
There was a very clear desire on his face.
Money, this is a good thing.
In this world, no one will refuse money unless the money is not enough.
And the price offered by Yamu is obviously enough.
Five hundred gold coins, this amount of money is enough to buy a good fiefdom in the Kingdom of Korola and obtain a high-level title.
Under normal circumstances, this is something that a knight can only obtain after selling himself to those great nobles and serving them for life.
Now, as long as you go over to help and suppress some resentful spirits, you can get it.
As the news spread, people from all around came one after another.
"Amu."
A few days later, Miss Mitty came to the Black Forest territory.
Under Yamu's arrangement, she did not go to Count Reagan's castle, but came directly to Yamu's own manor.
The two are still in love, and even though they haven't seen each other for a while, it feels like they've been apart for a long time.
Miss Mitty jumped directly into Yamu's arms.
After a while, they got down to business.
"I've done what you asked me to do and invited a lot of people."
Looking at Yamu, Miss Mitty was a little worried: "But there are too many people, and I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money."
During this time, she didn't do anything.
Yamu wrote to her because he wanted to use her identity and connections as the daughter of the Marquis of Tuentans to recruit some suitable people for him to fight.
The identity of an illegitimate daughter is embarrassing, but as the daughter of the Marquis of Thuntans, she is somewhat familiar with the situation in Thun City. She knows who can be attracted by money and who is relatively reliable.
Apart from her, it is difficult to find someone around Yamu who is familiar with the environment of Thun City, can establish relationships with many high-ranking people, and can also be trusted by Yamu.
Mitti did not disappoint Amu.
After receiving Yamu's letter, she did not stop and kept traveling around various places, taking advantage of her connections to recruit knight apprentices for Yamu.
Simple connections are of no use. After all, as Mitty is, it is nonsense to say that she has any good relations with those people.
But if money opens the way, the situation becomes different.
To be continued...
