Chapter 363 The Problem of the Knights of the Silver Hand

Three days later, the Lordaeron army entered Scholomance Academy again. They violently drove away a group of mercenaries, and then forcibly took over the academy. A bunch of soldiers came in and out, loading more than 30 carriages and nearly a hundred people. A big box of treasure.

"These golden robes look like dogs! They haven't left any for us!" Some mercenaries refused to give up. They stood on the low hill outside the Scholomance Academy and complained.

"I heard that their regent's treasure house has so much gold and silver that it can't be filled by a warehouse three times larger than the largest granary in Andorhal!" A mercenary with a sinister face was filled with envy and wished he could rush into the palace himself. , and then grabbed a handful and ran away. Unfortunately, he could only think about it. He heard that the palace was heavily guarded, and the regent killed the great lich Kel'Thuzad in a single fight. His little arms and legs didn't dare to stroke the tiger's whiskers. .

The mercenaries were all cursing in a low voice. From this point of view, Azeroth was still very open-minded. Leaders of various races were basically targets of scolding. As long as they did not openly object, the leaders did not prohibit the discussion and curses below.

Senior sister Ronika Jingren was also among this group of mercenaries, expressing her own opinions from time to time.

"That regent is so evil! He is already very rich, why are he still so greedy! This is so inappropriate!"

The surrounding mercenaries quickly echoed her words. These mercenaries are not of high rank. A high-level thief like Ronika Silent Blade is just one step away from reaching the legendary level. She is definitely outstanding among the mercenaries. The appearance of the night elf is also a plus. Breaking it down, no one among the mercenaries wanted to offend her.

They stood in the distance and talked unscrupulously, but no one dared to covet the property escorted away by the army. This is the deterrence of a country.

Civilians only know that Lordaeron has the most paladins. As mercenaries who wander between black and white, they also know that the thieves and assassins in this country are also the best among all countries. Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is best not to offend the state machinery.

"Who?" Ronika Jingren let out a light sigh. She found a female thief appearing beside her.

The other party didn't deliberately cover up his whereabouts, which was why she didn't draw her sword.

The female thief handed her a document: "Your Excellency Quiet Blade, His Royal Highness the Regent has approved your request to establish a Thief Academy. From today on, the original Scholomance Academy can be rent-free for you to use for ten years. This is official. Formal document.”

Ronika Silentblade learned Human Common Tongue very well. She read the document from top to bottom. It was very high-sounding. What about the traditional friendship between Lordaeron and Darnassus, and what about the personal friendship between the Regent and Shandris Feathermoon. After a while of chatting, the final agreement was a land lease agreement for the Scholomance College, free of rent and with a ten-year lease term.

One in human common language and one in night elf language, very formal, with the signature and seal of the regent at the bottom.

The simple elder sister didn’t know the relationship between Lordaeron, the human kingdom, and Darnassus. Vanessa’s identity as a druid was not known to everyone. She was a young thief, and she didn’t care about druid affairs. .

Now that the other party rented the place to her for free, she immediately felt very fond of the regent.

The mercenaries around had different expressions. What happened? In the blink of an eye, you betrayed us? We agreed to scold the regent together. You won't accept bribes, right?

Ronika Quiet Blade put away the document, pulled out the dagger at the same time, and looked at the mercenaries.

"This regent is pretty good."

"I have long said that His Highness the Restorer is the hope of Lordaeron!"

"Yes, yes! The regent is still so wise!"

The treasure was transported back to the capital, and even if Jaina didn't want to, she had to cancel her vacation and continue to return to Dalaran to screen these magic books.

Caliya also chose to go back to the palace to decorate various works of art, hanging what should be hung, and placing what should be placed. The previous palace was too simple and splendid, but in fact it had no artistic flavor at all.

Vanessa left the little wild boar to Calia to amuse herself. She could roast it or play with it in her hands. Anyway, she had already tamed it with her druid ability.

Afterwards, she handed over the leasing agreement of the Scholomance Academy to the senior sister. After everything was arranged, she took the maid and intelligence leader Lilian Voss to continue her private visit incognito.

While holding a fan, punching and kicking, picking up girls and solving crimes at the same time, she didn't have that ability yet. It is basically her main job to check whether her subordinates are doing their job well and whether the civilians know the laws and regulations she has promulgated that are related to their vital interests.

Officials told her that she was qualified if she could complete 60% of the tasks assigned to her, and she should be rewarded if she could complete 80% of the tasks.

She set out from the royal capital again, passing through the Western Plaguelands and the Eastern Plaguelands, all the way to Stratholme of the Fordring family.

At this time, Stratholme has restored some of its former glory. The total number of citizens of the Fordring family is nearly 20,000. This is also the residence of the Knights of the Silver Hand. The Knights have replenished the quota of 2,000. This group of people is basically There are no poor people. No matter how poor a paladin is, he will still bring three or two attendants, which adds up to a population of nearly 10,000.

Vanessa consulted with Old Fording for two days. She had no way to intervene in the internal management of the Knights, so she could only think of ways to deal with money.

She wants every paladin in the order to pay a monthly membership fee!

She will not misappropriate this money, but will use it for the construction of the Knights.

Such as war horses, weapons and armor, and daily consumption.

For this reason, she also made up a story, saying that Alexandros Mograine, who had died in the battle before, finally recalled his honor and pride before dying, and then took out the gold coins from his pocket tremblingly. Pay all the tour fees owed over the years!

"Your Highness, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net I would like to express my gratitude to you for your kindness on behalf of my old friend!" Old Fording bowed to her solemnly.

Because Vanessa restored Alexandros Mograine's reputation in the name of the Regent of Lordaeron, the act of paying the tour fee allowed the other party's name to officially appear on the roster of the Knights of the Silver Hand.

This is great news for the Knights of the Silver Hand, who seek not profit but fame.

In the future, if they encounter their old friend on the battlefield, they can pay a group fee to kill the old friend who has become a death knight, and then pay some money to let the other party's name return to the knights.

Maybe it's a bit of a cover-up, but they do need official recognition.

The tour fee is not much, five gold coins per year for a paladin.

All paladins of the Knights are treated equally. An ordinary paladin is given five gold coins, and someone like Old Fording is also given five gold coins.

Vanessa thought for a long time, and finally gave up the tempting idea of ​​collecting group fees from the day the Knights of the Silver Hand were founded in the fifth year of the Black Gate. Let's start everything from now on, starting this year!
