"Hansen, Hansen!" Jonah's cry was as shrill as that of a wild animal whose cubs had died, but no one present pitied him. Because Jonah himself is a bully who has been causing trouble for many years, and Hansen was also educated by him. Now he deserves to be beaten to a disability because of his violence in public. Many people even hoped maliciously in their hearts that the governor would accuse him of taking advantage of the opportunity to assassinate the enemy and hang this evil guy at the city gate. However, the imagined rage did not occur. Dick first signaled his secret guards to retreat, and then personally walked to Hansen who was seriously injured and fell to the ground to ask about his health and comfort old Jonah not to be sad. Although the young master was indeed seriously injured, he could still be saved if he hurried to find a priest to treat him. Anyway, your Saxon family is not short of money, and your son’s life is more important. Old Jonah's face was a little distorted at this time. He had now determined that it was Dick who deliberately let his men cripple his son, but at this moment he pretended to be concerned, which made him very angry and almost caused internal injuries. In the end, he and his family could only leave in disgrace with the seriously injured Hansen. The Saxon family's early departure did not affect the lively atmosphere of today's competition. Dick personally conferred the title of Apprentice Knight on Black and White Gun Dai. The third person to be conferred the title was the honest knight John, who Dick was more optimistic about. He took the initiative to challenge the winner of the second game and easily defeated the opponent.
After the tournament, Dick returned to the castle and learned that Tia and Lily, who were responsible for monitoring David, had successfully closed the net and found the location where he hid the cold iron ore and the small treasury. David was also brought back to the castle, and was kneeling on the ground dejectedly waiting for his fate. Dick took one look at his miserable appearance and motioned for someone to untie him. It was just time for dinner, so he asked the kitchen to prepare the meal and asked David to sit down opposite him. "I've been in Laguge for so many days, and this is the first time we've had a meal together." "I lost. There's nothing to say. You can kill me or chop me up as you please." Hearing David's pretentiously tough remarks, Dick chuckled and asked Tia beside him. "Is he really not afraid of death?" "It's fake. My heart rate is almost 200." "Pfft! Don't be so nervous, Cousin David. Believe it or not, I really have a way out for you. I just don't know if you are interested." "What, what way to survive?" "I want to get rid of the Saxon family once and for all. You know what I mean, once and for all." When David heard Dick's request, his stunned expression was as if he had heard a joke, and he suddenly burst into laughter. "That's it? You have three hundred professional private soldiers who obey your orders, and these killers and assassins with extraordinary skills. If you want to kill all the Saxons, it's just a matter of a handwritten order." "If I kill all the Saxon knights with fabricated reasons or no legitimate reason at all, it would be against the rules and not justified, and I would not be able to convince the public in the future. First of all, I would not be able to explain to my father the Duke, and your eldest aunt and my second mother would definitely take the opportunity to attack me. Secondly, the local people and gentry would be more afraid of me than respecting me, which would be very detrimental to my future governance of Laguge. You should understand what I mean, right?" "But why should I help you?" "A way to survive! Didn't I just say that? I've seen the video footage Crystal brought back by Lily. You're really good at hiding! According to the laws of the Empire, smuggling more than 30 kilograms of cold iron ore can result in beheading, and the amount in that mine, if converted into the number of knives, is enough to cut you into fine pieces... that is, minced meat. And this hasn't even traced the whereabouts of the cold iron you smuggled and resold. If it eventually flows outside the Empire... Tsk tsk! By then, I'm afraid there will be rivers of blood!" "Then how can you save me? How can I trust you?" "Do you have a choice now?" Dick's question put David into silence. Then he finished his dinner leisurely and asked someone to send David back to his room to have a good rest and think things over carefully.
In fact, even without David, Dick could collect enough evidence by relying on the ninja team around him to continue to observe secretly, but that would take too much time. Dick didn't want to waste too much time on a small local noble family, and wanted to deal with them before the heavy snow closed the mountains this winter. This was why he made a deal with David, just to save time. Then Dick stood up and walked towards the castle's large bathroom. During these days in Lagog Castle, Dick was very dissatisfied with the accommodation conditions here. Lagug Castle is an old military barracks fort built three hundred years ago. Although it has been repaired, renovated and expanded during these three hundred years, and overall it has been significantly improved compared to the first version three hundred years ago, the foundation is still there. The lighting inside the castle is very poor, and it is very dark and damp. It would be strange if your health is good if you live in such an environment for a long time! If there was one part of the entire castle that Dick was relatively satisfied with, it was the hot spring bath with a distinct Roman style. Dick came to the bathroom alone. He didn't call Rita or Befa to serve him. He took off his clothes, wrapped himself in a towel, and went into the steam-filled bathroom. He soaked in the warm spring water comfortably and felt that the fatigue accumulated during the day disappeared without a trace in an instant. "Hot springs, really nice!" "I think so." "!!!" As soon as Dick finished speaking, he heard a female voice coming from the mist. Even though he had a pair of sharp ears, he didn't notice that there was someone else in the bathroom. Fortunately, the voice sounded familiar, and Dick soon saw that it was Black Gun Dai walking towards him naked. Although Dick was no longer a novice, the scene was inevitably a bit awkward, but Black Gun Dai didn't care at all that his agile and sexy body was seen by his Master, and his proud expression even had a hint of showing off. "Master, are you satisfied with your knight's performance today?" "very nice." "Oh! Then who is better, me or White?" With a teasing smirk, Hei Qiang Dai moved closer to Dick, and taking advantage of his already fully developed body, he pulled the petite Dick into his arms. Dick's face suddenly collided with a perfect sphere that was soft and full of strong elasticity. It was a little wet but also very smooth. Obviously! Hei Qiangdai did it on purpose. She wanted to see her little Master fall into an embarrassment because of shyness. But who was Dick, a man who had eaten, seen, and flown, to be so stage-frightened by being honest? Well! His pair of elf ears turned red again. "Master, you haven't answered me yet. Who is better, me or White?" Hei Qiangdai deliberately moved very close, and the warm breath from his lips blew on Dick's elf ears, making her gradually understand why those girls who were also summoned had such a special liking for the young master's ears. But to Hei Qiangdai's surprise, Dick did not blush and stammer, but looked up at her eyes and said with a smile. "I'm afraid I can't answer this question until I try it." Hei Qiangdai was slightly stunned, and it took him a while to realize that he was being teased. He then laughed heartily. "Master, I must admit that you are more interesting than I initially expected. Many people are deceived by your immature appearance. Underneath your skin, you hide an ambitious soul. However... I don't hate ambitious men." As Hei Qiangdai said this, he lowered his head and kissed Dick. The elf master also stretched out his hands without hesitation to seize the commanding heights, but he felt that the breasts were difficult to grasp, and his own small hands were almost sinking into them. Feeling the almost greedy kiss from Black Gun Dai, Dick knew that Black Gun Dai wanted to find him to replenish his magic. In this world, the Heroic Spirits could not naturally absorb the magic power from the outside world, and could only obtain supplies from Dick, the Master, through the contract they signed.
Compared to the reserved Bai Qiangdai, the unrestrained Hei Qiangdai obviously does not have so many concerns. As soon as he is hungry, the first thing he does is to find Dick to "find food". At this time, Hei Qiangdai's hand had already moved forward, with a look of surprise on his face. "You can't judge a person by his appearance! I didn't expect that Master also has such an extraordinary holy spear." "Thank you for the compliment. It's not a complete form yet, but it can barely be considered an EX curry stick!" "Oh! So, Master wants to find a suitable scabbard?" Hei Qiangdai's smile became even wider, and his body had already pressed Dick to the edge of the pool like he was riding a horse. His floating upper body was swaying gently, and the scratching feeling from underwater made both of them feel a little overwhelmed. In the end, it was Hei Qiangdai who lost his patience first. He slowly sat down, feeling somewhat proud in his heart. "I'm sorry, White, I won today!" 013. Only death and taxation are inevitable "In the tournament that day, I should have performed better in the end, right? Then why did Blake insist that she won when she passed by my door that night?" In the office of the castle study, Rita, Befa and Yoel, who were sorting documents, all listened to Bai Qiangda mumbling silently. Because of what Hei Qiangda said last night, she was puzzled and even had some insomnia. So when she woke up in the morning, she came to the study, intending to seek help from the Master, but Dick himself had gone out to inspect the military camp, and only the three secretarial team was there, so she told her doubts to the three smarter ones (? ). "Oh yeah! She also said that the Master was very moist. What does that mean?" As soon as Bai Qiangdai finished speaking, Yoel's face was still full of confusion, but Rita and Befa's movements all paused slightly, but they quickly returned to normal, except that the corners of their mouths unconsciously rose. Beifa put the sorted documents into a file bag, walked up to Bai Qiangdai, patted his shoulder and comforted him. "It's okay. This is all healthy internal competition. You will be able to win back the game in the future." "Ok." After waiting for a while, Dick came back from outside. The recruitment of the territory's private army went smoothly. Although Laguge had few people, Dick's expansion plan was only to increase the standing army from 300 to 500, and to reorganize a new vigilante group of 150 people. With the atmosphere heated up by the martial arts competition yesterday, the desire of local youths to sign up was immediately aroused. The recruitment quota was gathered in almost one morning. After the expansion of the private army, the ratio of infantry, archers and cavalry in the military structure was 3:1:1. These are relatively conventional arms, and the structure is also reasonable. As for high-end troops, Dick is currently unable to afford to form them, and he has no right to do so. Under the influence of the Earth travelers, this world also developed firearms and integrated some local magic memories. However, due to the constraints of the nobility and the lack of real high-end military scientific research talents, the current level of firearms is equivalent to the level of the Napoleonic Wars in the early 19th century. There are front-loading smoothbore cannons and percussion cap guns equipped with paper shell fixed bullets. Moreover, because these weapons apply some magic rune technology, their performance is much better than similar products on Earth. But at present, both artillery and muskets are only available to the Royal Guards as an organized equipment. It is not difficult for ordinary nobles to get one or two muskets, and it is not impossible to get a cannon, but they dare not use them openly. By the way, Dick's staff only looks like a musket, it is not a real gun. However, the reverse research on Earth's weapons has stopped here at this stage, because after many practices, the Hessians found that the probability of "running in both directions" in response to the call of the Earthlings is higher.
In other words, those who are already disappointed and dissatisfied with the Earth will be more likely to be summoned, while many highly qualified professionals, who are often outstanding in their abilities and successful in their careers, will naturally not have the idea of going to another world to start over. Dick had heard in the capital that a rich young man was obsessed with summoning and almost spent all his money on a "ten-draw" game. As a result, he summoned two drug addicts from the United States, three Runruns who were traveling across the Amazon, an old Mexican who was forced to hide "flour balls" in his body, and four Green Church black pigeons who were preparing to smuggle to France through the Mediterranean. Of course! This is an extreme case, and some people's faces are indeed darker than the average person. The recruitment of new soldiers has been completed, and the next step is training. Dick assigned the task of training to Knight John and gave him three months for intensive training. Dick had very high demands on these soldiers and the military law was even stricter, but correspondingly, their pay and treatment were also first-class, almost on par with the Royal Guards. Taking into account the previous purchase of food and winning over the hearts of the soldiers, Dick's own small treasury is almost empty. During his time in the imperial capital, he did do business in partnership with others, but the profitable businesses were either left over by earlier time travelers, or were monopolized by the great nobles or even the royal family. In addition, Dick needed to keep a low profile, so he didn't make much money during his stay in the capital because he didn't dare to let go. Thanks to David's arrest, he can now use his small treasury to hold on for a while. It is precisely because of the financial problem that Dick is now anxious to take action against the Saxon family. And just at this time, Brother David finally figured it out after a night of careful consideration. Just like Dick said before, he had no choice now. Instead of gritting his teeth and taking all the blame on himself, he might as well drag the Saxon family down with him. Anyway, they had been a cooperative relationship of mutual benefit from the beginning. Why should I, David, go to the guillotine while your Saxon family could be safe and sound? So with the idea of "we die together", David decided to betray his old friend! "Regarding the reselling business of cold iron, the Saxon family did not participate. Because the interests involved are huge, and there are several unreliable people in that family. I only use my own people." "What about your people?" "Those who died in the woods are them." "Only a dozen people? Your power is not enough!" "In this kind of business, the most taboo is to have too many people. Those people are my confidants and my most trusted subordinates. I was just careless and underestimated the enemy. I didn't expect... I didn't expect your subordinates to be so powerful." When talking about the tragic deaths of his men, David was still somewhat indignant. Dick also remembered that Hongye had said that day when evaluating this group of assassins that their strength was not particularly outstanding, but as a team they had a tacit understanding and were good at working together. Their temperament was different from that of ordinary bandits. They were more like active-duty soldiers who deliberately dressed like bandits. If it had been an ordinary person, there would have been no chance that the assassination would have failed that day. Unfortunately, the people they met were not ordinary people, but three female ninjas whose skills were equivalent to those of high-level fighters in this world, and the battle area was a dense forest in the middle of the night. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the ninjas' home battlefield. Many assassins didn't even see what the enemy looked like before they were stabbed in the neck by a dagger that emerged silently from the shadows behind them. David provided a lot of negative information about the Saxon family. As mentioned before, the two parties are in a cooperative relationship and each has its own main business. On the surface, the Saxon family is a farmer with thousands of acres of vineyards, and they make money by making wine. This was already a very profitable business, but human greed always makes people do irrational things. Therefore, the Saxon family also colluded with bandits in private, participated in kidnapping and slave trading, and had more than 30 murders on their hands, not to mention the several miner suppression operations that the old vigilante group participated in, which injured hundreds of people each time, and the indirect deaths caused were difficult to estimate. Ironically, these crimes, which are considered heinous enough by Earthlings, are actually minor issues in the Hessian Empire, because slave trading is a "legal business" and at most will be looked down upon.
Suppressing the miners' "riot" is even more reasonable and legal, and can even be rewarded. As for collusion with bandits, kidnapping and extortion, the Saxons have always been very careful and almost no substantial evidence can be found, and rumors are not reliable. There is actually only one piece of "black material" that can really deal a fatal blow to the Saxon family. That is "tax evasion"!
