Chapter 101 (1/2)
It was completely dawn, and Alfred still didn't come back. Sean's mood was a little complicated. Just now there were more important things, so Sean had to get up and start preparing for the next trip.
On the first floor, the veterans seemed to be awake. The hotel owner was serving them a meal. Sean told them all yesterday.
Seeing Sean coming downstairs, the veterans all got up and said hello to Sean. And Sean also happily continued to chat with these veterans, and began to enjoy his own breakfast, but he could see that these veterans were not talkative, and the sad color on most faces was obvious. It was obvious that he already knew Sean's future plan, so he was thinking about his future carefully at this time.
However, there are some veterans whose faces are as relaxed as ever. They are not affected by this dull atmosphere. It is obvious that they have made a good decision. Sean still remembers that these people are veterans who discussed ”good women” yesterday. I think they haven't married and had children, so they don't have too much burden. Sean can at least be sure that these veterans will leave with themselves at that time.
After breakfast, Sean left Cecilia in the hotel. Alfred might come back sometime, and it was necessary to negotiate some terms with the veterans. At least we should find out how to deal with the blood grant if the veterans are killed in battle, and there are other details to be discussed, such as how many years they have served, what to do if they retire or become disabled.
Sean is not very good at these. Of course, Cecilia doesn't understand. It's just that Sean was afraid of trouble, so he left Cecilia. After all, these veterans used to be soldiers under Cecilia, so they should be a little more convinced of Cecilia. Naturally, it can be a little easier for Cecilia to negotiate with them - after all, Cecilia is still a 14-year-old child. Even if a child says something wrong, who will embarrass her?
And Sean, naturally, began to make all kinds of purchases in the village of siroda.
The most important thing is actually the preparation of food. After all, Sean is going to take a shortcut to leave the kingdom of potoroa, so once he leaves tindes collar, there will be no people in the next month. So at the very least, you need to prepare food for more than a month and a half - no one can be sure whether the journey will be smooth or not. It is inevitable to encounter some delays, so more food is always prepared.
In addition to the food problem, the rest is the problem of vehicles and tents. Of course, we have to buy some rainproof cloth and sunscreen cloth, which need to be taken into account in all aspects. Fortunately, Sean had a discussion with Cecilia last night and made a list. At this time, it's no problem to deal with it according to the contents of the list. As for other minor problems, such as horses and weapon defense, we have to wait until we determine how many veterans are willing to join them.
It was afternoon when Sean returned to the warm wind house, but as soon as he entered the hotel, Sean's slightly tired face became a little happy.
A little girl who looked about ten years old sat quietly beside Alfred.
The little girl has long chestnut hair. Although her facial features are not as delicate as Cecilia, she also inherits her mother's tenderness. Wearing a pink gothic dress, she looks more petite and lovely. Although she is only about ten years old, she can obviously see that she is a beauty. This little girl is Alfred's daughter, Shina Vost.
After seeing Sean coming back, little hina called her uncle skillfully, which made Cecilia snicker.
”How many times have I said to call my brother.” Sean smiled bitterly and shook his head.
At first, Shina did call Sean her brother, but Alfred seemed to be worried that his daughter would be robbed by Sean. She stressed that she must call Sean her uncle. After repeating this several times, Shina naturally began to call Sean uncle. No matter how Sean asked or even seduced, Shina insisted on calling Sean uncle. For this, Sean had to surrender helplessly.
Looking back at the others on the first floor, there were nearly 20 veterans who were still here. These were people who were not married and did not need special care, so they could walk easily with Sean without pressure. What should be discussed has also been discussed with Cecilia. Each person needs to pay four bodoroa gold coins in advance as the salary for the next year, and then pay three silver coins every month from the second year, subject to the circulating currency of the local country.
If there is a battle death, the blood touch gold is ten gold coins. Because there is no family, just give the money to other veterans who are still alive. This is a hidden rule of veterans, which means that my share will live well, but the blood touch gold must be bodoroa gold coins. After all, their hometown is here. If he is disabled, Sean must be responsible for taking care of their future life. Of course, they will not eat for nothing, but will continue to serve Sean as hard as they can.
Sean certainly had no problem with these conditions.
So the rest of the procurement work was completed in the afternoon. Sean equipped these veterans with two horses, not war horses, but ordinary horses. After all, they were not cavalry. Later, he equipped them with iron shield, machete, straight sword, spear and other weapons. Moreover, Sean was very rich and directly purchased lock armor and light armor, which greatly strengthened the survival and combat ability of these veterans.
To Sean's surprise, when all these were ready, a strange long electronic sound suddenly sounded in his mind.
[real eye (blood talent) has evolved to level 2, enabling army query ability.]
Then when Sean looked at the veterans again, he immediately had a list of data that had never appeared before.
