Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 603 600．The Business Mind of Pete Maned Wolf

On the 9th, in White Tree City, the southernmost city in the Northwest Earldom, Pete Maned Wolf wore a gorgeous dress and entered the castle of the local nobleman, Viscount White Tree.

It is said that this city used to be the capital of the Southwest Earl of the Kingdom. It was attacked by the fallen demons 300 years ago. After the war, the Dragon Kingdom merged the original five Marquis territories in the south, and Baishu City was divided into the Northwest Earl.

9 years ago, there was a palace coup in the capital of the Dragon Emperor. At that time, the Viscount Baishu saw the opportunity and took refuge in the Southwest Blue Lion family. Since then, although Baishuling is still considered as the defense area of ​​the Southwest Earl, the Viscount Baishu has only shown favor to the Southwest Earl. Allegiance to Te Blue Lion.

Watching Pete being welcomed into the castle by a group of beauties, Jim, a member of the auxiliary army who came with him, frowned. It has been 7 or 8 days since they arrived in White Tree City. They had heard that it was close to the Great Southern Forest. There are cheap non-magic slaves.

However, after coming here, I heard that in the past two months, a half-orc bandit sprang out of the southern forest, and the price of slaves in the entire market has more than doubled. Not only that, the number of slaves being sold in the entire city does not exceed 3000 , which is too far from the 5 people Rand hoped for.

The unfavorable situation was already enough to cause Jim a headache, but at this time, the leader of the entire team, the middle-level knight Pete Maned Wolf, was completely immersed in luxury.

The 2000 gold coins given by Rand before they came, actually spent more than half of it in less than 10 days. The thousands of gold coins can be bought back not to mention slaves, even magic goblins.

"Young man, let's go back!" Beside Jim, an old man about 50 years old said.

"Yes, Knight Dutov." Jim nodded.

This Knight Dutov Manitov is the "slave" bought by Peter.

To be precise, Peter spent another 100 gold coins to buy Dutov's family yesterday: intermediate knight Dutov, sons of two junior knights, a daughter of a demon possessor, and a family scholar of a junior knight.

However, for Jim, although the knight was just a "slave" of the lord, and he was the manager of the auxiliary army appointed by Rand himself, Jim was still very guilty when facing him.

Dutov looked at Jim's eyes and knew what he was worried about. He said in relief, "I know you don't understand Pete Knight now, but I think he is working hard to complete his task."

"Yeah!" Jim nodded with difficulty, but he couldn't connect spending time and drinking with completing the lord's mission.

In the afternoon, Jim saw two knights who came from Yeqi City in the hotel where they lived. They gave Jim a ring and left.

"If White Tree City manages well, it will definitely become a city of earls in the future. It's a pity that the current Viscount White Tree has no vision and wasted such a city with a teleportation hall." Seeing the backs of the knights leaving, Dutov said regretfully .

In the evening, a rather luxurious carriage finally stopped at the door of the hotel. Several slender girls sent the drunk Pete into the room. Instead of returning to the carriage, the girls closed the door directly and waited on Pete. rest.

Jim, who was responsible for the future of the auxiliary army, couldn't sit still anymore. He decided to directly contact the knight Danico, the captain of the auxiliary army, and ask Danico to report to the lord Rand.

……

At night, in the small town of Iowa, at the gate of the Knights' Stables, Little Cardinal was reporting today's briefing to him.

"Northern Neil and River Clan representative Lenikova finless porpoise completed negotiations,
Neil said that if Lenikova can be more serious, the negotiation will go much smoother," Little Cardinal almost laughed when she saw this briefing.

"In addition, there is a walrus archmage, Umis Long Fang, who is on his way to Yeqi City. He said that he was sent by His Excellency Xiu Ming."

"Um"

Lante nodded, and Guleiya had already greeted him. Xiu Ming was very interested in the sea god's eggs, and he was looking for a water-type mage. The river leaves the Sea Orcs of the ocean.

The little cardinal's face became serious after reading the happy story: "My lord, there is one more thing. Knight Danico hopes that you can meet Jim. He is in White Tree City. He said that Captain Pete Maned Wolf is wasting your gold coins."

"Oh?" Rand felt a little interesting, not only agreed to Danico's proposal, contacted Jim directly, but also called Laniya.

"My lord, I have to say something in advance. According to the statistics team, Pete Maned Wolf bought items worth at least 1000 gold coins from Sally Flying Dragon's shop, almost entirely on credit."

Before the magic mirror connected to Jim, Little Red Sparrow began to complain: "In addition, he is also reselling the special products of the territory in the south. I am afraid he has earned hundreds of gold coins for nothing!"

Rand glanced at Laniya beside him, only showing a playful look, and didn't say much about the specifics. After Jim went online, he began to complain about Pete's eating, drinking, entertainment and luxury.

After Jim finished speaking, Rand looked at Lenia again, waiting for her evaluation.

"My lord, I suggest that Pete explain himself. I think that even if he is not a qualified knight, he is a relatively qualified vassal. He will not waste your trust at will." Lania didn't have too many excuses for Pete, No downside either.

Lan pointed at the head of the sky and said to the magic mirror: "It makes sense, Jim, if Pete is still awake, let him tell me about it!"

It didn't take long for Pete Maned Wolf to appear opposite the magic mirror. At this moment, his face was still flushed, and it seemed that he had drunk too much potion wine.

"My lord, we will move out tomorrow to take 20000 slaves!" This was the first sentence Pete said when he saw Rand, "At least 4000 more will arrive one after another in the next two days, but the slaves are all in a place outside the city. It's not safe over there, I hope you can send some more people over!"

"Well, good." Lante nodded, his eyes filled with relief, "Just now Jim told me that there are very few slaves in White Tree City, can you tell me where you got all these people?"

"My lord, there are three types of slaves in White Tree City," said Pete with a smile on his face. These days, he spends his days and nights just to do this. "One is the slaves captured in the southern Lizard Forest. There is a gang in the forest, and there are far fewer such slave catchers.

The second type is slaves sold by nobles in other places. Most of these slaves are the scapegoats of the nobles, just like the people in the salt mines and iron mines.

The Baron Dutov I bought two days ago was originally a family vassal of the Earl Kirislav Larzan's family. Their family has managed the Earl City for generations. A scapegoat. "

Speaking of this, Pete quickly flattered him: "He has managed Earl City for more than 20 years, and he is very experienced in city management. I think you can buy it if you need it."

"Well, you did a great job!" Rand also admitted that the current management talents are what he lacks the most.
