Chapter 152 Sponsor
Mu Lali was very excited to return to Snakeshead Town, and Duke immediately gave her half a day off to reunite with her parents.
As for Duke himself, he has a lot to deal with in town.
Duke's Master Farm is handed over to Sally to manage, and the Little Sam Shuka shop is managed by the Black Snake family, but how to develop it needs to be arranged by Duke.
He first went to Master Duke's Farm, and the entire left part of Xiaohewan Farm was almost included.
Sally already has the demeanor of a strong woman, wearing denim clothes, she looks very sassy.
"The Black Snake family came to let our farm grow Physalis Blood Spirit Fruit on a large scale. The standard subsidy is set very high. So don't worry about planting on the farm this year. I also cooperated with James Farm to share the same batch of spiritual plant envoys."
"That's good, Sister Sally, you're doing well."
"It's not that I did a good job, it's the boss, your honorable status as an arcane master, that brought everything to the farm." Sally said realistically.
If Duke hadn’t been promoted to an arcanist, how could there be such a high subsidy for planting physalis and blood spiritual fruit, and how could Farmer James be willing to share the spiritual plant envoy.
"Anyway, I'm very relieved that the farm is managed." Duke stood on the attic, looking at the stretch of farms in the distance.
There is still a sense of intimacy in my heart.
This is where he got his start.
At this time, Aunt Abi, wearing an apron, hurried over: "Boss, my dear Master Arcane, you are back!"
"Aunt Abby, hello."
"I'm fine, that is, boss, are you still in the city, are you used to eating? You used to like eating the food I cooked."
"Haha, I had a good meal in the city, and of course I miss Aunt Abby's cooking." Duke responded with a smile.
Compared to the class-discriminated service in Beverly Manor, he still prefers the time to chat and laugh with Aunt Abby, Sister Sally, Levin and others on the farm in the country. There are not so many rules and constraints, which is very comfortable.
"Will you stay at the farm for dinner tonight?" Aunt Abby asked expectantly.
"I'm afraid it won't work tonight. I have an appointment, but tomorrow morning, I can have breakfast here."
"Ah, that's great, I'll get ready!"
Aunt Abby came over in a hurry, and then left in a hurry. Sally couldn't help laughing and said, "Aunt Abby has been talking about you for a long time, and someone wanted to poach her to be a chef, but she didn't want to. She just wanted to cook for you."
"Poach Aunt Abby to be a chef?" Duke wondered.
Auntie Abby’s food is the most common farm food, without any special features, can this also be a chef?
Sally said with a smile: "It's for you, the boss. The cook who cooks for Master Arcane will definitely attract guests."
Duke laughed.
Not long after, a follower came over to report: "Master, the leader of the Broken Sword Mercenary Corps, Zina, and others brought it here."
"Tell them to go to the study." Duke ordered.
"yes."
Soon, Duke met Commander Zina and four other 1st ring knights in the study. These five people are the main force of the entire Broken Sword.
"Ovis, Philip, Leon and Dilikant, they are all the deputy heads of Broken Sword." Zina introduced on her behalf.
Four 1-ring great knights greeted Duke together.
Duke returned the salute and asked, "Chief Zina told me in an owl message that you have agreed to the form of subordination sponsorship?"
"Yes, my lord." Orvis was the oldest with a big beard.
"Then sign the contract." Duke did not talk nonsense, nor did he investigate the meaning of these great knights, and signed the contract directly.
He just sponsored Broken Sword and asked Broken Sword to collect resources from the forest for him. Once an arcanist is engaged in research, the resources needed are massive.
The contract is signed.
Duke officially became the sponsor of the Broken Sword Mercenary Corps. He ordered: "The salary will be paid monthly. For the time being, I only have one task for you. It is to capture the cub of a 1-ring spirit beast. You need a cub that can be contracted."
"Yes, my lord, we will arrange the task as soon as possible. What type of spirit beast cub do you need?" Zina asked.
"The portable type."
The knight's contract partner spirit beast can be roughly divided into three types.
Riding type, such as horses, tigers, pigs and other mounts; portable type, such as Duke’s small pocket, which cannot be ridden, but can fight side by side; auxiliary type, such as the former Gu knight Tanros of the Cantharis Legion, and the acid cantharis mother he contracted.
"Okay, we will go into the forest to capture as soon as possible."
"Other than that, you should act step by step, and receive more missions from the mercenary mission center to obtain benefits."
"clear."
"In addition, I will send a financial person to the logistics department of Broken Sword after a while. Oh, by the way, does Little Sam repair the card shop? That is my shop. In the future, all card repairs will go to Little Sam's repair card shop, and the internal discount price will be used."
"Thank you for your generosity." Zina said happily.
Exploring the forest, the biggest consumption is the spirit card, and the cost of repairing the spirit card is a lot of money every year.
Duke thought for a while, and then added: "This farm is also my property. If you have nothing to do, come here to visit more often, and help me drive away those uncivilized people."
"yes."
"Okay, we're done talking about functional work, Commander Zina, tell me how the frontline war is progressing?" Duke leaned back in his chair, ready to listen to the story.
The pioneering war is a big event, so he is naturally very concerned.
And he didn't forget that Xiaoji's grandma is an ancient spirit in Cuihai Valley. If there is a chance, he hopes to find Xiaoji's grandma.
certainly.
The ancient spirit is too precious, and he won't fight for it if he doesn't have a good chance, otherwise it won't be worthwhile to offend a high-level arcanist.
Zina recounted the situation over the past month: "...The crypt army ants that blocked the road before have been almost wiped out, but as more and more safe passages have been opened, there are still a large number of crypt army ants entrenched."
"Fortunately, there is the Mylabris Legion of the Bernoulli Mage Tower, which can barely drive the crypt army ants away, but they are very stubborn and often come back."
"As for the black jade scorpion king with 7 rings, it has already hibernated, but it will show up from time to time, attacking mines and camps."
Hibideling Mine Company can't wait to drill and mine in Cuihai Valley.
Now the Arcane Mage from Shenjiao City is cooperating with the Arcane Mage Bernoulli from Anger City. Bernoulli needs the support of Shenjiao City, so Hebidi can mine spiritual mines at will.
Once the pioneering war is over, the Seven Towers Federation will entrust the Cuihai Valley to Bernoulli. At that time, Hebidi will need Bernoulli's nod to mine the spiritual mine.
In short, the two sides have both cooperated and played tricks.
Duke had chatted with several arcane masters before and knew the inside story. The arcane mages of Shenjiao City formed a group, so they were naturally unwilling to give up the dominance of the Cuihai Valley development war, but there were no suitable arcane mages in this area, so they needed to create a family.
So it was interrupted by Bernoulli from outside the region.
Once the pioneering war is launched, it will be a major decision of the Seven Towers Federation. The arcanists in Shenjiao City dare not violate the decision of the Federation.
You can only obey while snatching benefits.
"Did Bernoulli's mage tower not make a move?" Duke asked.
No matter how strong the Black Jade Scorpion King with the 7th ring is, he is no better than an Arcane Mage of the Earth, even if they are 3 rings behind each other.
After the third shift, ask for a monthly ticket~
