Heroes of Might and Magic: Knight Chapter 24: VIP 1

"Sander."

"My subordinate is here."

"I will confiscate your salary for the next month, you prodigal thing, who asked you to pay so much."

Lint looked distressed as he spoke.

Sander "..."

Lint chattered while observing the houses and streets of Ironwood City.

"This Ironwood City is well built."

"It's nothing compared to Piaoxue City."

Compared to Piaoxue City, which is considered a first-class city in the entire human kingdom, Ironwood City cannot compete with Piaoxue City. Sander is right in saying this.

Lint shook his head,

Of course he also knows that the gap between Ironwood City and Piaoxue City is huge. Just talking about the population is dozens of times different.

Piaoxue City is a super big city with a population of nearly half a million. Thanks to Richard's efforts, Ironwood City has only a permanent population of 20,000.

But Lint’s observation was more detailed. He could see that the entire city’s culvert drainage, urban water supply and other public facilities were quite complete, and the roads were spacious and the layout of various functional areas was quite reasonable.

In this regard, Piaoxue City is a bit chaotic, often causing congestion or urban waterlogging and other minor problems.

“The person who designed this city is also a talent.”

Although Sander did not observe so carefully, he did know some of the unique features of this city after Lint's prompts.

Ironwood City is not that big. The two of them wandered around the city for two hours and took in the entire city.

It was already dinner time, and Lin Te was a person who never treated himself harshly. He and Xander searched for the best restaurant in Ironwood City to satisfy their appetite.

"Come in, please."

Before the two of them could go up the stairs, the waiter at the door came out and ushered them in.

The two followed the waiter into the store. It must be because it was dinner time, and the entire hall was almost full of people.

Sander frowned as he looked at the noisy crowd. As a confidant and bodyguard, he instinctively did not want to dine with Lint in such a noisy environment.

The waiter is also good at observing words and expressions. He noticed that their identities seemed unusual and said:

"Boy, there are private seats upstairs, but at this price..."

"Lead the way."

"Okay, we have two distinguished guests upstairs."

Lint, who sat on the second floor, could better observe the guests in the entire restaurant.

Through the order just now, Lin Te has a rough understanding of the consumption standards of this store,

A table of good food will probably cost one or two silver dollars. You must know that this standard is not low. One or two silver dollars can cover the life of an ordinary family for a month.

At least in most of the territories, except for noble families, civilians cannot afford to spend money, but most of the people who spend money here do not seem to be nobles.

The people in the lobby even look a bit vulgar. If you can find a suitable word to describe it, they are a group of nouveau riche.

These people are a small group of people who became rich first under Richard's governance.

Mainly composed of traders, rich peasants and small military officers, the Flying Bear Army's military pay is very generous.

"Bang"

A loud noise attracted Lint's attention.

A well-dressed gentleman was already at the front of the hall.

"Today we will talk about Master Richard fighting the snow pirates to protect the country and the people!"

……

"Master Richard shouted, don't hurt my people! The snow thief was so frightened by Master Richard that he couldn't move his hands and feet, so he had to capture him without mercy!"

"Okay!"

As the people in front of the hall narrated, bursts of cheers came from the people below.

"Chi!"

Unlike Lint, who listened with great interest, Sander, who was standing aside, couldn't help but laugh.

"Sander, why are you laughing?"

"Master, what this person said is too unreliable. How can you scare people into not moving on the battlefield with just a roar? It's a lie as soon as you hear it."

"Yes, but I'm not telling this to an expert like you. Just look at the people below and believe it."

"High, high."

Lin Te couldn't help but praise twice.

"Isn't this just like a bard?" Sander was a little confused.

"It's different. I didn't feel it before, but now I realize that the bard has gone astray."

“This group of people always make up some convoluted sentences and sing a few lines while saying it. They think they are elegant, but in fact few people can understand it.

You see this storyteller is different. He tells it simply and clearly, and everyone who listens can understand it. After listening to it, you will know that this young master Richard is a good lord who loves his people like a son. ”

"Then, let's go back to Piaoxue City and learn to make up some stories?"

Sander asked with some uncertainty. This mode is actually not difficult to learn. With the help of Lin Te, he might be able to do better than Richard.

"Are you going to talk about me, my father, or the elders of the Lanster family?"

"this"

Sander was also speechless for a moment. As a wealthy family with a century-old heritage, the Lanster family's situation is naturally not as simple as that of the Hunter family.

It would be good for a small noble family to have a knight to inherit the title, but if the Lanster family can produce more than a dozen knights in one generation, there will naturally be more ideas and struggles.

Lin Te shook his head, took a bite of food, and planned to continue listening to the story, but the voice of a young man came to his ears.

"This table for you two is quite spacious. The seats are full now. I wonder if I can share a table with you two."

Lint turned around and saw a handsome young man walking towards his table as he said this. He looked like he was wearing weapons under his robe.

Sander stood up vigilantly and put his hand on the sword.

"Sander, don't get excited."

Lint waved his hand and asked Sander to sit down.

"It's okay to sit down, but we have ordered all the dishes for the table...?"

"No problem, add two more dishes, a pot of wine, let's drink together if we are destined, I will make a treat."

"Then, please sit down."

The young man cupped his hands to express his gratitude, and then naturally sat down opposite Lin Te, while Sander still stared at the young man closely, as if he was about to take action at any time.

"I think you are a bit unfamiliar, you are not from Ironwood City."

"We came from Piaoxue City to do some business in Ironwood City."

The two chatted, seemingly smiling, but each of them cursed at the little fox.

The two of them talked a lot about all kinds of nonsense, and they actually seemed to regret meeting each other so late. Only Sander was listening in confusion.

“I don’t know what Sir thinks of the situation in the Kingdom.”

Lint finally asked a question that had been brewing for a long time, and then stared at the other party closely.

"Naturally, it is a prosperous age filled with flowers and blazing fire. His Majesty the King governs wisely, the court is filled with sages, and the dragon knight who governs the country is the anchor of the kingdom."

The young man's compliments made Lin Te a little confused, and then Lin Te raised his finger and pointed at the young man and said

"I have no grievances with you, sir, why would you treat me like a fool."

"Uh"

The young man was stunned for a moment and looked around, as if he wanted to see if there was a note saying "Don't talk about state affairs" posted on the surrounding pillars.

Then he seemed to have made up his mind and said:

"The prosperous age of the kingdom is like a gorgeous castle in the air."

"Oh, what do you say?"

Lint finally showed his interest.

"Success is a dragon knight, failure is also a dragon knight."
