Chapter 129 Meeting the Benefactor Again
In the end, Zhang Qiang did not expose Dewey's disguise. He watched the group of black-armored heavy infantry pass by. The coat of arms on his body brought him the attention of the leading officer of the patrolling city guard. And a slight bow to salute, showing respect.

Zhang Qiang returned the salute with a smile, turned his head, and saw that Dewey and the others had disappeared into the corner at the end of the alley, he shook his head, and continued to visit Veluga City like a leisurely stroll.

It wasn't that he didn't want to give Dewey a small punishment, but that he didn't think it was necessary. Dewey still owed him 50 Huaxia coins and didn't pay them.

Because his situation is not good, he knows that the Iron and Blood Guild will not position itself in the outlaw camp. They must want to grab more profits in the game like the Dynasty Guild, and the way to successfully grab more profits is to maintain Exist in the kingdom camp and run to a higher position.

Whether it is the real world or the game world, righteousness and orthodoxy are the necessary prerequisites for making money. The camp of outlaws, that kind of dark, underground, existence of forces can make high profits for a while, but they can pass legal The method, the cost is small or the profit, why bother to earn it by detours?

But to be honest, there is really nothing to visit in today's Veluga City. This is a half-military, half-trade castle city, just like the narrow streets and alleys of the small county towns before liberation, crowded, smelly, There are walls covered with gray and white uric acid stones.

Strolling open the door of a hotel, walked in, in the lobby of the hotel, there was a burning fireplace and bonfire, a rough aspen table several meters long, full of diners and drinkers, noisy, noisy, Europeans The flaxen-colored yellow beard and whiskers abound, giving a vulgar, brutal feeling.

It was too noisy downstairs, so Zhang Qiang walked to the second floor.

As soon as I stepped on the stairs on the second floor, I heard someone shout: "Who is it, don't come up, this place has been sealed off. Go down."

Following the voice came two burly men, dressed in black sleeveless plate armor of the heavy infantry of the Swadia Kingdom, carrying two-handed heavy swords behind their backs, and a gauntlet hanging around their waists, like two halves of a black steel gate Also block the way up the stairs tightly.

Zhang Qiang looked up, but he happened to meet the eyes of a man wearing an apricot yellow robe and a felt hat behind the two heavy infantrymen of the Swadian Kingdom. He knew that man. He was the steward next to the Zaka knight. What was his name? He doesn't remember.

It has been a few months in the game world. Zhang Qiang, who used to be a serf, has become a 13th-level warrior who has experienced the battlefield test. He is a knight servant, inherits the status of a nobleman, and is the commander of an army with hundreds of people.

The butler seemed to recognize Zhang Qiang too.

"It turned out to be the little serf back then. Look at your attire today, you're not a bad guy." He had some sarcasm and ridicule on his face. At the beginning, he was very opposed to Zaka Knight recognizing Zhang Qiang as Zhaka's knight attendant, because Up to now, he can only be regarded as the follower of Zaka Knight.

A knight servant can be promoted to a knight, and a servant is just a temporary servant with no future. Of course, if you serve your master well, the master may give you the status of a knight servant.

"Master Zaka Knight is up there, can I go up?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"You are your lord's knight attendant, do we dare not let you see your lord?" the butler said.

As his words fell, two heavy infantrymen of the Kingdom of Swadia stepped aside.

Zhang Qiang took a few quick steps and went up to the second floor of the Veruga Hotel. The second floor is a smooth and spacious attic with a triangular roof and four half-meter-wide windows with baffles on both sides.

Behind the two wooden tables, there were several people sitting. Zhang Qiang took a look. They were famous writers, bards, court entertainers, and travellers.

Well, it's all artistic talent.

There are two people sitting next to a table, one is wrapped in black bearskin, wearing a black bear felt hat, and the other is a well-tailored rich businessman with fine velvet satin.

Seeing Zhang Qiang appearing at the stairs and scanning the second floor, everyone turned their heads and looked at him.

When the wealthy businessman saw Zhang Qiang, a smile appeared on his face, and he waved slightly to him.

Zhang Qiang immediately walked over with a smile.

That wealthy businessman is his benefactor, Knight Zaka.

However, he was significantly fatter than the Zaka knight he had seen at the beginning, and he looked more and more energetic, with a flushed face.

"Zhang Qiang, I have seen the benefactor," Zhang Qiang stepped forward and bowed to the sitting Zaka knight.

"Well, okay, sit down, have you completed the task I entrusted to you?" Knight Zaka pushed a plate of veal in front of the table to Zhang Qiang with a smile on his face, and at the same time poured a glass for Zhang Qiang from a rough ceramic flagon Wine made at the Veruga Winery, a specialty of the Rhodok Kingdom.

"Benefactor, I have finished. Baron Price has been buried in the ground. His tomb is on the hill outside the village of Pergond. I can accompany the benefactor to meet him when I have time."

Zhaka Knight looked at Zhang Qiang with friendly eyes and said: "No need, I'm very busy, I'll pass by me to take a look when I have time, I only care about your development now, how powerful you are now."

Zhang Qiang bowed and said: "My benefactor, I can lead 30 soldiers now, but because I took a mission, the number of soldiers I lead has increased, and there are probably more than 80 soldiers."

Knight Zaka shook his head, "I'm not talking about how many soldiers you can bring. After all these days, your personal combat power is still so weak, and it seems that you haven't honed enough. Your identity is still a knight servant. Don't you have any loyalty? A lord, become his knight attendant, and be promoted to a knight through military exploits?"

Zhang Qiang said: "My strength is still very weak, so those lords have no idea of ​​accepting my allegiance."

"Maybe you haven't met a lord worthy of allegiance. I heard a storyteller in the market on the first floor today, preaching about your wonderful battle process. That storyteller has already been in Uxhall, Suno, Viru Plus, Jelkala has earned a lot of money by preaching about your deeds, and you are somewhat famous in these cities."

Zhang Qiang didn't expect a storyteller to be so useful.

"Where are you going next?" Knight Zaka asked.

Zhang Qiang replied truthfully: "Benefactor, recently I am tracking an outlaw hero, who seems to be a green forest robber named Desaiwei. If I can arrest her, my reputation will spread throughout the Calradia continent."

Speaking of Desaiwei, Knight Zaka and the black bear felt hat guy next to him were moved at the same time, "We came from Jerkala, did Desaiwei appear near Veruga?"

Zhang Qiang nodded and replied: "Yes, she attacked Yimer Village earlier and encouraged a group of criminals to loot Yimer Village. Fortunately, the village guards of Yimer Village and the adventurers attacked together and repelled them, but she It is still hidden nearby, and can suddenly appear from under the nearby stones like a hidden poisonous scorpion at any time to give you a bite."

There was a trace of sadness on the faces of Knight Zaka and the old man.

Zhang Qiang looked at the two people, and asked strangely: "Benefactor, with your strength, are you still afraid of Desaiwei? You are just a mere outlaw hero."

The man next to Knight Zhaka shook his head and said: "It's not that we are afraid of him, but that we really have a headache for her. She is surrounded by thousands of outlaws, guarding her. Our caravan can't beat the thousands of them coming like a tide." of outlaws."

"Who is this?" Zhang Qiang couldn't bear it anymore and asked.

Knight Zaka said: "This is a slave trader who sold slaves to the Outer Continent, Viscount Ramon. He was also a lord before."

"Ramon," Zhang Qiang exclaimed. This guy is an authentic slave trader, specializing in slave trade. He bought slaves from the mainland of Calradia and sold them overseas. As for the overseas locations, no one has ever known.

Unexpectedly, he was once a viscount lord.

Ramon continued: "The lord's army is powerful, but we can't bring so many troops to find her every day. The situation in the mountains is complicated. Even if we can find her, we need a huge army to attack her. Without a huge army, It is very difficult to defeat her, she is too powerful and cunning, the caravan is not enough to contend with her, and the lord's army arrested her again."

Zhang Qiang said with a smile: "Now that she has appeared near Yimer Village, we can defeat her in one fell swoop and capture her."

Knight Zaka said: "If you can catch her, I will ask Earl Starmar of Uxhall to give you credit. Then, you can become his knight, and maybe you can get a manor. A luxurious manor that occupies a huge area, if I pass by your manor in the future, I can also go to your manor to rest."

Ramon laughed and said, "It's fake for you to go to the manor to rest, but you actually want to lower the wages of the soldiers hired by your caravan."

Zhang Qiang looked at him, "What do you mean?"

Knight Zaka blushed and smiled embarrassedly: "If you own a manor of your own, then the salaries of the soldiers in the manor can be halved, because they already have places to settle, train, sleep, and eat. Manor supply, a place where they can settle down, they will ask their employers to pay half of their wages."

Zhang Qiang didn't expect that Zhaka Knight, who once thought he was awesome, would also worry about the wages of hired workers.

Ramon said with a smile: "Your army is still low-level soldiers. Their wages must be very low, but when you have a strong guard army, you will worry about the cost of wages and weapons and equipment. That would be a huge gold-swallowing beast, no amount of wealth would be enough for them to devour."

Zhang Qiang is not worried about the salary of the current army, because there are only a few people, and those soldiers in Semilunsi Village do not need to pay their own wages, they only eat food, because it is the mission to send soldiers, not his soldiers, so every week , he only needs to pay a salary of less than 2000 dinars, which is not a big damage to his current wealth of more than [-] dinars, and nothing can be seen.

What he cared about was what Knight Zaka said, Earl Starmart, and what he cared about was whether the earl would let him become his knight. A knight is a formal nobleman, and he cannot be compared with inheriting his noble status.

The most important thing is an estate.
