Chapter 265

The less than one month spent in Cecil's Land was the most incredible experience in Scarface Anton's life.

He was born in the gutter of a frontier village in Leslie's South, grew up in a den of gangsters and beggars, and mingled with the lowest classes of society. He stole, cheated, and worked hard. He has fought countless fights, and he has been beaten horribly. He has learned a few stealth skills from a blind and down-to-earth mercenary, but he has not been able to become a professional due to his personal talent. He was a thug for a long time, but then he became a "superior" in the gutter with his strength and that little shadow ability - and became the owner of a bad bar.

He boasts that he has seen a lot of things, whether it is the filth and dilapidation at the bottom of the society, or the feasting of the nobles, he dare not say that he has experienced it, but he dares to say that he has seen it - at least seen it from a distance.

But in this land, he realized that his knowledge was too shallow after all.

The roaring machines, the disciplined army, the spirited subjects, the efficient and orderly officials, everything here is so incredible.

And the training he received was equally incredible.

He still remembered that not long ago, he and his group were taken to this incredible place by the old boss, and then they were locked in a facility that looked like a military camp. Everyone was uneasy, guessing that the great nobles here What exactly do you want to do with such a group of gutter rats, so as to lock people in the military camp - if there is no boss to show up, these people will probably retreat on the first day.

Then came the intense training and... education.

Every day, different instructors come to teach these people all kinds of knowledge and skills, high-intensity physical training is just the foundation, and people come to teach them how to use swords and some magical magic props - these courses are taught by Some people who look like soldiers come to teach them, and in the afternoon, there will be people who don't look like soldiers and are said to be night school teachers to teach them reading, literacy, counting, and even some simple social etiquette.

These things are very difficult to learn. Most people don't want to learn them at all. They never thought that they would need to be exposed to this knowledge one day.

Literacy isn't necessary for Gutter Rats - Scarface Anton thought so at first, but in the end, everyone bites the bullet and learns it.

Because if they don't learn, what awaits them is a punishing physical exercise that will almost drill people to death.

What's more terrifying is that Amber will personally supervise them - the majesty of the eldest sister's head makes everyone dare not raise the heart of resistance.

Training day and night, studying day and night, exercising, practicing fighting, using weapons, reading and numeracy, Scarface Anton and his friends have been miserable since the beginning, and it took less than two They gradually got used to it in a week, and after they got used to it, they felt that this kind of life was actually not bad. Although the training intensity was very high, the lords here ensured that everyone had broth and bread to eat every day, no matter what these people were training. How much food can be eaten after a day, Anton and his friends have never been hungry.

There is broth, bread, eggs, and everything is well-stocked, with new clothes, and the dormitory is guaranteed to be warm. It can be said that the benevolent lord gave everyone the best living conditions - only asking everyone to follow Just train and learn according to the rules he set. It's a pretty good deal. It's so much better to wait for death on an empty stomach in the ice and snow.

So Scarface Anton and his friends persevered and learned as much knowledge and skills as possible. Now those who were once useless have learned to wash their faces, wash their hands and bathe regularly, learn to dress neatly, and learn how to disguise their identities. Get along with people, and as for how to observe and pass on information in the process... that is their usual line of business.

Of course, the training is far from over. Their reading and writing skills and professional knowledge of covert actions are half-baked, but with more than half a month of physical exercise and adequate nutritional supply, these people have at least on the face of it. So here it is - being able to stand up straight, be able to walk steadily, be able to pretend to be a merchant, apprentice knight, apprentice wizard and talk to people is enough for the first task.

After the mission was read out, Amber assigned the batches of personnel actions and the direction they were responsible for, and then handed over the documents from Duke Gawain Cecil to them one by one.

"With these documents, you are decent people who were entrusted by the duke and engaged in various jobs in the southern border. You can go in and out of various towns without worrying about being interrogated, but as for how you will bring people back...that's for you. It's a test," Amber watched as his subordinates turned over and over with excitement to check the supporting documents in their hands, standing on the stage and said calmly, "You will get an action fund, and these funds are enough for you to buy fake certificates. , forge employment documents, buy guards, etc. to get people from other noble territories, but remember, when you come back, I will check your remaining money - the more you have left, the higher you can get The reward, but the ten people with the least money left, I want you to run around the entire Knights Street fifteen times with pumpkins on your heads! Run at noon when there are the most people! Do you understand?!”

Everyone said in unison: "Understood!!"

Scarface Anton and the first batch of military security intelligence trainees came out with the Duke's certification documents. At the same time, a large number of merchants carrying "Cecil Alchemy Elixir" have begun to flow throughout the southern border. They originally It is a loose free trader, operating in various places and without organization, but under the running efforts of Patrick, the traders were bought and persuaded one by one. Facing the temptation of interests and the pressure of the duke's reputation, they signed the contract. He made a contract with his surname and became the tentacle of the Cecil Chamber of Commerce.

Soon, these businessmen realized that signing up to join this chamber of commerce is not as risky as imagined - Duke Cecil is not just looking for an excuse to exploit the interests of the merchants like other nobles. He did not deduct the goods, nor did he There is no high extra cost for the duke's representative. President Patrick, as the representative of the duke, provides sufficient and high-quality goods to each dealer in accordance with the standards stipulated in the contract, and is fair enough to not miscalculate any copper plate when dividing the profit. - This is a fantastic good thing.

Many members of the Chamber of Commerce are curious, wondering how those alchemy potions with neat packaging, stable quality and huge quantities are produced, but this is obviously the secret of Duke Cecil, and smart businessmen will not try to inquire about the ** of the great nobles. , They are curious, but they still perform their duties as businessmen honestly, and concentrate on thinking about how to use these potions in exchange for sufficient profits.

The Cecil Chamber of Commerce stipulates the distribution price and distribution method of the medicine in the contract. These contents cannot be changed at will, but as for how to sell the medicine quickly, this is what small businessmen who have been in business for a lifetime are good at thinking. .

In the Viscount of Carroll in the central area of ​​the South, the trader Bob placed three bottles of alchemy potions as samples on the counter of the mercenary guild, and explained the origin and The effect, and behind him, are several mercenary soldiers who escorted him all the way from Kant.

A businessman who went to the mercenary guild to sell potions has attracted people's attention. The mercenaries waiting for business with a fireplace in the hall are turning their eyes to the counter, and this is exactly what Bob wants to see—— Regardless of whether the person in charge in front of him is not interested in these potions, he has successfully attracted the attention of the mercenaries. This is his original purpose.

"I've heard of this kind of potion. It was produced by the pioneering leader in the south, right?" The guild leader frowned slightly after listening to Bob's words, "It is said that it is slightly worse than the regular alchemy potion, but the price is unbelievably cheap... ...is this thing really as good as you say it is?"

"You can ask the warrior next to me," Bob turned sideways and pointed to a mercenary who was escorting him, "He used potions."

"Old Golden Tooth, I can testify, this thing is really good!" The mercenary soldier who looked a head taller than Bob grinned, "See this new scar under my neck? Without this potion, now you can see my name engraved on the board behind you!"

"Rent a counter in the mercenary guild to sell medicines... No one has done this before," the guild leader obviously trusted the mercenaries he knew, but he was still a little worried. Looking at the merchant in front of him, "You have to make sure that you can really supply a stable supply, and the quality of the potion is the same as you said-most mercenaries are grumpy, I don't want to wait for them to make trouble and smash your counter, then I will pay you back. Someone has to shovel you off the ground and dump you."

"Businessmen are trustworthy." Bob took out a supply agreement from the Chamber of Commerce and slapped it on the counter, "Look at it for yourself, this is the document I signed with Duke Cecil. —Signed by the Duke himself! You must know this emblem, right?"

And just like that, a business was negotiated.

Watching the guards he brought with him leave after the commission was settled, Bob narrowed his eyes, as if he saw the silver coins walking in the entire mercenary union. He began to look forward to saving enough money to be in Carroll territory Buy your own shop and become a businessman one day. According to Mr. Patrick's promise, Cecil Chamber of Commerce will provide an additional financial assistance to each dealer who is ready to buy a shop, and will send personnel according to the situation. Come to assist - Bob knows very well that the person who came to assist is actually the eyeliner of the Duke, who is here to stare at him, but what's the problem?

From the day he became a member of the Cecil Chamber of Commerce, Merchant Bob knew that he was running the duke's estate, and he would even become a part of the duke's estate. What nobleman would not send someone to watch his estate?

As long as there are real gold and silver coins, there is nothing wrong with being a nobleman's falcon.
