Chapter 82 His Excellency 2nd Baron Berkner (Part 1)
Frederick Stuck was very quiet in the evening, but in this quiet atmosphere there was another extremely disharmonious atmosphere. Among the caravans moving around the city, there was a very unique team, exuding a disgusting and terrifying bloody smell. This group was not someone else, but Chen Kai and the others. The gurd cloth on the horses was wrapped with the dead mercenaries. Although this gurd is not another, their bodies were not exposed to the air.
The injured mercenaries were lying on the carriage. Fortunately, Chen Kai and his team had enough storage bags. Although the space was not large, they could be used to transport goods, and then freed up the carriage for the injured to lie down. As for the noble private soldiers, all those who were not dead were cut off and their armor was thrown in the wild. It was easier to just strip them clean and throw them in the wild. As for whether the bodies would be discovered by the people behind, for Chen Kai and his team had offended the Marquis of Zafaro and Grand Duke Miranda, they would not be afraid of offending the other party.
Because of the huge loss, the angry Hanmota lay in the carriage and asked Chen Kai to nail all the bodies to the rock wall with nails. However, because this was too time-consuming, Chen Kai did not do it, but he stacked all the bodies together and threw them together, which looked very scary and scary. If he entered the Isthmus of the Great Mozafi behind Chen Kai and the others, he would probably be scared to death when he saw these corpses.
Although the death of the mercenaries made everyone a little sad, what made these mercenaries happy was the collection of spoils. All the armor was thrown to Chen Kai and the others. Even though these armors were difficult to buy military supplies for erasing marks, it was precisely because of this that the mercenaries could not use these equipment. They could only let Chen Kai take them to Hans Court to take action, because if they stayed in the Rohan Empire, even the black market merchants would not dare to buy these things at will, or to put the price at a low price when purchasing.
In addition to these slightly damaged armor, what really made these mercenaries happy was the purse bags carried by Sevantilov and Peromon, which contained a full 203 white magic crystal coins. Chen Kai and the others didn't understand why these two guys had to bring so much money, but now all the money was cheaper. Chen Kai lost most of the money to Hammerta, and the pension for mercenaries was at least 170, and the rest was used to fill Chen Kai's shriveled purse and to invite the mercenaries to have a happy day in Frederick Stuck.
Of course, this money is just a big deal. The scattered gold coins taken out by other knights were not included. If it were included, basically everyone could get at least 20,000 gold coins. Of course, if the dead mercenaries were not counted, everyone could get at least 50,000 or 60,000 gold coins, but although the mercenaries were greedy for money, they still had a bottom line. That is, no matter how greedy they were, they would not occupy the pensions they exchanged for their lives. If they were greedy for these, not only would they not be able to overcome their conscience, but once they were discovered, they would also be chased by the entire mercenary world.
In fact, according to the rules of the mercenaries, the benefits obtained in battle should basically belong to the mercenaries. But this time, killing Peromon is Xu Fei's secret gun stick. Even if Saiwantiluf is killed, Chen Kai and the others cooperated with Hammerta. The big head of all the money escaped from Peromon's pocket. According to the rules of mercenaries who kill whom he gets, Chen Kai and the others can get at least 120 white demon gold coins, rather than the thirty now. So the mercenaries basically have no complaints about the gold coins distributed in this way.
As the carriage slowly entered Frederick Stok, Chen Kai and his unique caravan gradually became concerned, but soon everyone, together with the tax-collecting city guards, chose to hide. Because everyone knew that only one place in Frederick Stokes would cause such a miserable situation. Those who could rob there were basically either deep hatred or extremely powerful within the Rohan Empire. If they were provoked accidentally, they would intervene in the struggle between the two forces, and the end was definitely not something that ordinary people could bear. At the same time, because Chen Kai took away all the goods, these city guards naturally thought that Chen Kai and the others were the losers of the battle, not the winners. Without oil and water, and it might cause trouble, they would naturally not run to find bad luck.
"Stay in a hotel!! By the way, I will buy a batch of good coffins for me!" Because I was carrying the bodies of the mercenaries who died in battle, Chen Kai and the others could not enter those more advanced hotels to live in. They could only choose hotel accommodations that belong to the Mercenary Association. Only mercenaries who fought in such hotels would not be disliked but sympathized with and respected. Mercenaries respect the strong and respect those who sacrificed their lives to protect their employers. Although these people are a bit stupid, mercenaries are just business of protecting others. If they can't even protect others, then don't be mercenaries and change to be thugs.
"Okay! Twenty-five sandalwood coffins are topped by the hotel!" Obviously, the hotel owner is used to this kind of thing. In fact, there is a coffin shop next to the hotel, and the owner is a relative of the hotel owner. Although the price is a little higher, the materials of the coffin are very good, and anti-corrosion alchemy potions are also sprinkled in it. Therefore, even if each coffin is as high as 1,000 gold coins, Chen Kai still paid the money without hesitation. His action instantly increased the favorable feelings of the mercenaries, and even the mercenaries around him who were eating.
Although mercenaries collect money and eliminate disasters, meeting a kind and generous employer is the most hopeful thing for every mercenary. Although such things are very rare, many merchants in the game make a lot of money themselves, they are more stingy. Most merchants will desperately lower the mercenary employment costs. Then they ask mercenaries to do a lot of things that they shouldn't have done.
Seeing the owner of the coffin shop skillfully clean the corpses of mercenaries wrapped in gauze and put them on armor and put them in the coffin again. Hanmota's heart couldn't help but feel thrust. Among them, more than a dozen of them were the backbone of his Mad Axe Mercenary Group, that is, the brothers who escaped from his hometown Paranon. Their home was completely gone in the attack of the undead. In fact, the members of the Mad Axe Mercenary Group were basically homeless. It can be said that the death of these mercenaries basically declared that their whole family was gone. Of course, for several mercenaries who have been immersed in the pain of losing their family, this ending may be good. At least they don't have to feel guilty about their inability to save their wives and children in the disaster. But their departure made Hanmota feel guilty, because it was his insistence that his old brothers died and even their children were not left behind.
All the dead mercenaries were lying in the coffin shop in a very peaceful manner. The owner of the coffin shop had a very high skill in tidying up the body. According to the coffin shop, it was a skill developed by tens of thousands of mercenaries in more than thirty years. Although the coffin shop staff had only been here for two years, he had seen at least hundreds of mercenaries' corpses buried in the coffin shop. And it was when he started. Many times, the owner of the coffin shop had no time to bury the corpses in the coffin shop. He brought a bunch of coffins to help people bury the corpses, because many of the corpses were incomplete and could not be transported to the city.
The corpses slowly returned to their previous life under the boss's hands. The place on their necks that were split by weapons was also sewn with needles and threads and covered with clothes. Everything seemed to be like they were when they were alive. The mercenaries lying in the coffin seemed to just fall asleep, making people feel that they were not dead, but were just resting. But this kind of rest is just that they can't sleep, and Hammota also hopes that they can really not sleep. Don't be as uneasy as their relatives after their death.
The owner of the coffin shop spent a whole night to sort out the bodies of all the dead mercenaries, and Hanmota accompanied the other party one night to watch his companion's corpses slowly turn from blood to clean. As coffins slowly closed the lids of the coffin, Hanmota knew that he would never see the faces of his comrades in his life.
"Damn it!" Hanmota pounded his legs hard, but found that he could not exert any strength. At this time, Hanmota, a ninth-level mad axe warrior, was as weak as a baby, and even needed someone to support him when walking.
When Hammerta returned to his room, Frederick Sterk had just woken up from his sleep. Many mercenaries had not yet woken up from their sleep. Most people were not only physically injured, but also mentally exhausted because they had just experienced the most intense fight. Therefore, many mercenaries even had nightmares after falling asleep at night, and woke up in the middle of the night. So at this time, most mercenaries were still sleeping to make up for the problem of poor sleep at night.
When Chen Kai and his friends were resting, the caravans from Frederick to Moktok had already set out in the morning because they were stopped by the lords of both sides in advance. Because of this, Chen Kai and his friends were basically the only team coming from Moktok, and because of this, no one disturbed them during the rest. Everyone would subconsciously lighten their pace when passing through the hotel rented by Chen Kai and his friends, while the nobles in Frederick to deal with the funeral overnight. You should know that there was only one caravan for Moktok to Frederick to Moktok in a few days. Frederick to Moktok had every day. If Sewantielov had not greeted the nobles in Frederick in advance in the name of Grand Duke Miranda, how could there be no caravans when Chen Kai and his friends fought?
Obviously, most of the nobles in Frederick Stokes were favored by the Grand Duke of Miranda, but Chen Kai and the others were too strong and did not let a private army belonging to the Marquis of Zafaro and Miranda escape. This led to the nobles of Frederick Stokes being a little jealous because they were worried that they might not be able to take down Chen Kai and the others. Moreover, Chen Kai and the others entered the city and were known to everyone. In the city, there were not only spies from the noble senate, but also belonging to the Rohan Empire.
The spies of the emperor. In this case, the nobles who were biased towards the Grand Duke of Miranda could only choose to remain neutral. When the imperial emperor was still alive, no one dared to overwhelm all their wealth at random. The road to the throne of the imperial emperor is always bloody and dark. These nobles do not want to be embellishments of bloody and darkness on this road. Only fools will suppress all their wealth at the beginning of the game. Such a result will definitely lead to the death of the whole family.
In fact, the nobles of Frederick were optimistic about Grand Duke Miranda and Marquis Zafaro at the beginning. If this were not the case, they would not have helped them with the price of losing some of the taxes. However, the two high knights of Sevantilov and Peromon were really useless. As a result, the nobles in the entire territory have begun to change directions, and it feels that supporting the two great nobles is not reliable. The two nobles who even the Earl Zuff pawns were unable to get rid of were not worthy of the support of Frederick's nobles. Except for some of the loyalists in the aristocracy in the aristocracy, it is estimated that there are not many people who are willing to bet on the two great nobles in the aristocracy of Frederick.
Chen Kai and the others stayed in Frederick Stokes for two days. On the first day, they were all resting and helping the mercenaries deal with their injuries. On the second day, they fulfilled their promises to make the mercenaries play happily all day. All the expenses were paid by Chen Kai. In Chen Kai's original opinion, these mercenaries were at most drinking in a hotel or finding a bar girl, but they didn't realize that they pulled him to Frederick Stokes' largest gold-selling fire rose. Fortunately, Chen Kai insisted on not going in in the end, otherwise Su Wan would definitely be beaten up by Su Wan at night.
However, in order to fulfill his promise, Chen Kai still took out a total of ten white magic crystal coins and threw them to the mercenaries, and then turned around and ran away with the mercenaries. This was probably the most embarrassing time in Chen Kai's career. There were also many indigenous professionals and players traveling on the side of this road, and they all saw a huge figure covering his face and running away from the door of Fire Rose.
"I'm talking about it! You're so embarrassed, why don't you go in and see it!" This is Fei Yun's words that were squeezing Chen Kai when he left Frederick. He had just heard Chen Kai's great achievements from the mercenaries and naturally came to show off. Although Chen Kai had confirmed the completion of the mission at the mercenary guild, Hammerta insisted on sending Chen Kai and the others to Kazmodo. In his opinion, it was only a few dozen kilometers to Kazmodo. If he had luck, he could still return to Frederick to spend the night before the evening.
"Do you believe me if you say it once, I'll throw you into the fire rose?" Chen Kai's face was obviously not good, especially when Su Wan pinched his waist several times, it almost didn't swell. He naturally felt bad when he heard Fei Yun's words.
"Haha!" A hint of depression flashed across Fei Yun's face. Although he was very yearning for the nightclubs in the game, he did not dare to go in. It was not that he could not do it, but because the system had a lot of restrictions on players in this regard. Even if you go in, you just drank and watched the performance. Even if you go in, there was a lot of restrictions. First of all, you must be a permanent player in this city and must own a property, that is, you must have at least a house. If you want to enter the nightclub, you must have a permanent home and a house. This made many players feel very unhappy. Of course, this discomfort made many players give up the idea of entering it and seeing the final result. But in fact, there is another condition to enter the special entertainment venue in the game that you can go in as long as you meet it, that is, you are very rich or have a noble title. You can go in with at least ten white demon gold coins in your backpack, and a noble title above the knight can also go in. Both Chen Kai met the standards, so the guard of Fire Rose did not stop him.
Chen Kai and his friends arrived at the border between Hansting and Rohan Empire at noon, which was a pass jointly managed by the two empires. Although the pass was a plain area, no one dared to pass through the wilderness on the side. Not only did the various magic trap devices emitted on both sides of the road show how dangerous this area is.
Chen Kai and the others were waiting in the team preparing to leave the customs, while Hanmota and the others chose to leave. Although the mercenaries were a profession that could pass through the border to other countries at any time to receive tasks, not all mercenaries like to leave their hometowns. This time, Hanmota and his party earned enough commissions, which was almost equivalent to the commission for an S-level mercenary mission.
After taking out the pass that Earl Zaf had applied for them, Chen Kai and his team easily crossed the pass and entered the territory of Hans Court. Of course, the pass is still a distance from Kazmodo, but there is a large market near the pass. In fact, not only is there Hans Court here, but there is also a small market at the pass of the Rohan Empire opposite, and Hanmota and the others are resting in the market.
This market is generally prepared for merchants who do not want to penetrate the border between the two countries. Although it is not large in size, it is very prosperous. When Chen Kai and his friends changed their carriages and walked into the market, a large number of merchants immediately ran up and asked Chen Kai if they wanted to sell goods.
"These guys are so bad! They actually added a 1% price. I really think I'm a fool!" Until I left that market, Fei Yun was still very angry with the merchants in the market. He wanted to sell some goods for money, but found that the price of the other party was too low. If the freight and the mercenary hiring fees on the road were deducted, they would not make any profit at all.
"Are you still asking?" Chen Kai stood under the carriage and walked slowly. Beside him was Su Wan sitting on the edge of the carriage. Chen Yi hurried inside the carriage and dozed off. According to Chen Kai, she is now like a pig, and she is just eating and sleeping.
"You can inquire about the market without asking about the miscellaneous items! But how could I know that the merchants here are so unscrupulous, and they are so unsatisfied that they will not let go! These are all top-notch goods, and they are only 10% higher than the price!" Fei Yun sat on the war horse and shook his head. He was very dissatisfied with the chubby unscrupulous businessman.
The group was very relaxed now, because in their opinion, no one in the Hansting Empire had the courage to make their decisions. Of course, the most important thing was that the group stuffed the goods into the space bag, and the goods placed outside were worth less than 500,000. Moreover, they were Kazmodo who followed the Hansting patrol team. It was estimated that no two-car robber dared to rob in front of the Hansting patrol team...t
