Law of the Devil Chapter 490: [The real knight (below)]

Chapter 490 [The Real Knight (2)]

"Any other expenses?" Du Wei sighed.

"Yes! Of course!" Delong smiled bitterly: "Many members of the Knights Association in various places are members of the Association. Those Cavalier officials who are responsible for the assessment, they have to eat and drink Lazarus, to feed such a freshman. Critique. The Knights Association of the Mainland now has more than 600 knights to feed! Are these people's armor to be repaired? The weapons are regularly repaired? And how can their warhorses be horsemen without horses? One year The cost of more than 600 people is almost equal to a medium knight! At least more than 30,000 gold coins are barely enough to live! We can only spend a limited amount of money on supporting people ... horses can't care about it Master, you are also a leader, you know, it costs more to feed a war horse than to feed one person!

Du Wei nodded involuntarily.

"In addition to the knights in the association, there are some handymen who are normal in associations in various places. You ca n’t expect those noble knights to clean the windows and clean the windows themselves? These people are now on the roster of associations in mainland China. There are 1,040 people, and the annual expenses are about two or three thousand gold coins. Of course, these are already very few. We try to hire some cheap labor.

"I know, I have a bad reputation in the Imperial City. Many people say that I trade the knight rank badges, which is a blasphemy of the knight spirit, but I can't help it." Delong frowned: "Master, you must maintain such a big one The shelf costs at least 100,000 gold coins per year! It can only be barely enough for everyone to eat and eat, and barely maintain this shelf! But where can I get 100,000 gold coins? The army gives one or two at most each year. Thousands of gold coins. Thanks to the blessing of the regent, the legitimacy of the mercenary regiment is now open. There are now more people applying for the examination of the rank of knights, but this year's income is only 40,000 or fifty thousand gold coins. I still lose more than 30,000 gold coins every year! Where can I get these 30,000 gold coins?

At the end, Delong said with a sincere expression on his face, looking at Dewey, as if the young man looked up at his parents with sincere gaze: "Master. Can you say that I can't buy and sell knight badges? I can't be a clown, I can mix Go on? "

Du Wei is completely speechless.

Delong talking about the excitement, he suddenly hit the armor on his chest with a weird smile: "Master, let me say that the armor I am wearing now ... looks like it, but you I do n’t know, in order to save costs and material costs ... This armor looks elegant. Actually ... the iron plate inside is hollow! Do n’t say it is a weapon, you take a stronger wooden stick and poke gently Just a hole! "

Du Wei: "..."

The headquarters of the famous Knights Association is just south of the capital.

It can be said. From the perspective of the area, it still quite accords with the name of one of the two major mainland organizations such as "Continental Knights Association".

The headquarters of the Knights Association, the theme building is a square tower with an empty patio in the middle. On all sides is a row of wide three-story buildings. The theme building is built of solid granite, looks extremely solid, and is quite defensive if in wartime.

The area is also quite large. If you ride around the headquarters of the Cavaliers Association, it will take about a tea!

For such a large piece of land, in the mainland's first male city, the price of this land alone is already very valuable.

Unfortunately. When Dewey came to this famous "Continental Knights Association Headquarters", he was almost stunned by the scene in front of him!

This ... Is this a place of solemn chivalry?

This ... this is simply a vegetable market! !!

I saw this quadrangular building, each side of the wall changing through the street was opened, and the houses inside have become various shops! There are people who sell cloth, gestures, jewelry, food, crafts ... and even vegetables! !!

Du Wei's eyes narrowed. Pointing to the front ... One after another the cries of applause and rumbling came. Crowded.

Knight of Deron looked without any guilt on his face, but smiled proudly: "Lord, look. We're here."

"This ... this is ..."

"This is our knight headquarters!" Delong raised his chest.

"I thought I saw a vegetable market!" Du Weidi's voice was awful.

"This is also no way." Delong sighed: "This land and house cannot be sold according to the law, so after thinking about it for a long time, I can only open up the wall facing the street and turn these houses into Shops are rented out. My lord, do n’t underestimate these rents. Many of us in the headquarters of the Imperial Capital depend on these rents to support them! "

Speaking, he has already dismounted, leading his old horse to the front.

What stunned Du Wei and his many guards was that the Deron Cavalier walked all the way, as if he were rushing to the water, and kept saying hello to the owners of the shops, looking very warm and familiar.

"Ah! Uncle Anong, business is good! Haha ..."

"Aunt Sophie, this month's rent is about to expire ... Ah well, I will send someone tomorrow to collect it."

"Boss Dick, this batch of cabbage looks quite fresh ... ah, for me? Thank you, ha ha ha ha ..."

Looking at the president of the Continental Knights Association, Du Wei suddenly thought of a profession that he knew in his previous life: the farmer market administrator!

Delong said hello to these small vendors. He took some cabbage and tomatoes in his hand and waved back to Dewey, "Sir, we are here, don't stand. Come in. . "

Walking into the door of the Cavaliers Association, the sound of yelling and drinking still came outside, and Du Wei's face was a little ugly. Delong calmly, he threw away the food he had just touched to a lame old man at the door, and laughed: "I cook it in a pot at night! Haha, I saved another meal today. "

After hearing this, Dewey's face was strange. The taste in my heart is a little more complicated.

Walking into the door of the association, with the thick wooden door behind him closing, Du Wei carefully took a large amount of this patio.

It's about the size of two football fields.

Obviously, in the glory days of knights, such a large open space was used to practice martial arts for the knights, and most of them can also be used as racetracks. It's a pity now ... but a piece of simple wooden shed was built.

"What are these wooden sheds doing?" Du Wei frowned: "Is it dwelling."

"Resident? Of course not." Delong smiled bitterly: "Master, there are only six people in the headquarters of the Knights Association of the Imperial City! But you see. Such a large Knights Association, such a large building, can live at least a thousand Everyone is more than enough! Six of us, we can find a room where we can live. This wooden shed is not for people, but ... a warehouse. "

"Warehouse?" Du Wei was speechless again.

"It's the ground, it's the warehouse." When Delong talked about it, he looked so excited: "Trusted the regent's blessing! Since he came to power. The imperial capital has become more and more prosperous, and merchants from all over the mainland The capital has come to the capital! But then the price and land price of the capital of the capital are rising! Think about it, so many merchants come to the capital, there must always be a place for the bulk of the goods they bring! But the current price in the capital is so Expensive! The rent of the warehouse has also doubled several times! The merchants are crying hard. Under such circumstances, I have a clever idea. Do n’t we have a large vacant lot here? Anyway, it ’s also idle. It ’s better to build a suggested wooden shed. Come and rent it out as a warehouse! I am not at all heartless! The rent price I paid is 30% lower than the market price! "

Looking at Delong with an intoxicated look. Dewey almost vomited blood.

Warehouse ... warehouse! !!

"Fortunately, there are these warehouses! Don't you know that the current annual repair cost of this building, we can count on the rental income of these warehouses!" Delong smiled and tied the old horse to it Beside a pillar.

Du Wei sighed: "Sir Deron, these warehouses, starting tomorrow, you will ask them to return the goods one by one. After all, we are going to rebuild here. This ... but it is not so funny."

"Retreat? This ... is not easy to handle." Delong was a little embarrassed, with a little smile in his eyes: "Don't you know that the goods here belong to some big and noble men in the capital? The chamber of commerce of the family! I signed a contract with them, but I can't refund ... And, with so many big people, I don't dare to offend. "

"You are afraid to offend people, I am not afraid." Du Wei said lightly: "Who has any goods?"

"Noah, these are the arsenals of the Warcraft family of the Deland Mountains! The iron ore is stored in the house! Ah. These are the goods of the House of the Count of Villa. Come to the wood. "

Du Wei points to a wooden shed in front ... This wooden shed has the largest area, which is the sum of the other pieces!

Du Wei was unhappy, "What about these? Which one?"

"This ..." Delong smiled bitterly, and looked at Du Wei with a strange look: "Prince Tulip ... The goods stacked in this wooden shed are all your goods ... I only met you last month Mr. Zach, the family business manager, signed the contract. Because my rent is cheap, Mr. Zach wrapped it up for three years at a stretch !!! "

Du Wei: "..."

In Dewey's mind, after all, it is the dignified Continental Knights Association! The two major mainland organizations on par with the magic union! Even if it declines again, Du Wei did not expect to be so decadent!

He naturally visited the headquarters of the Magic Union many times. What kind of style is it, and how majestic is it?

But look at this ... Continental Knights Association headquarters?

The vegetable market? Large warehouse?

At this time, Du Wei suddenly felt a movement in his heart. He noticed that the knight's eyes seemed to have a weird smile.

In an instant, Du Wei suddenly came to his senses and understood something.

His face calmed down, and he waved his hand to let the old smoke and other guards behind him retreat first.

Du Wei slowly took a few steps, and gently touched the simple wooden sheds, and suddenly said, "Knight of Deron. I suddenly realized that you are really very talented in business."

Delong smiled and didn't speak.

"Actually ... I've heard many stories about you. To be honest, those stories didn't say much to you."

Delong shook his head and smiled, "I'm used to it."

Du Wei thought for a moment, frowning: "I feel that you carry the title of the president of this association. It is a drag, a burden! With your ingenuity and intelligence, you have been tied to death It's a shame on such a rotten ship! With your wisdom, if you are willing to go to my family to do some commercial business management, it won't take long for you to become a famous big businessman than support here Such a broken shelf would be a hundred times stronger. "

Deron stopped talking.

Du Wei continued slowly: "I thought you were a corrupt villain, a maggot in the Cavaliers Association ... but today I saw everything here. I just realized ... you don't hesitate to act A clown is painstakingly maintaining such a mess ... Knight Deron, please accept my sincere apologies!

Speaking, Du Wei bowed his head deeply.

The grinning expression on Deron's face disappeared.

When Du Wei looked up, he asked, "Deron Knight. I'm curious ... The Cavaliers Association has been down for hundreds of years! It stands to reason that this is not what happened in your hands. Yes! At least when you were young, it was rotten! But when you were young you had a lot to do. Why choose to stay on such a sunken ship? "

Du Weidi's voice is sincere, without the slightest disguise.

Delong finally sighed. There was no such cynical expression in his eyes anymore, but he was solemn.

Slowly, the chairman of the Cavaliers Association spoke.

"My teacher is the former president of the Cavaliers Association. He adopted me and trained me ... and the teacher had a total of nine disciples. Unfortunately, when the other eight people grew up, they almost could not wait to escape. I have to admit this ghost place! I must admit that ... I also wanted to leave here! Because in my opinion, the so-called Cavaliers Association is already over! There is no possibility of revitalization at all! But ... "

Delong suddenly turned to his side, and quickly drew a tear from the corner of his eye, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "Before my teacher was dying, he held my hand, he begged me to stay I begged me to inherit his mantle. Do my best for my life. Keep this stall! The teacher said to me before the end of his life: Although the knight's gun is gone, he firmly believes that there are still many people, and the knight spirit lives on in them. In my heart! "

Speaking, he seemed to smile again, smiling a little frivolously: "To be honest, I don't believe it! I don't believe there is any chivalry in this world! But the teacher begged before death, I can't refuse! So ... I will stay here, inherit the title of a ninth-level knight, a position of president, and also become the head of a bare pole knight regiment ... until today, my hair has begun to become white ... because , I promised the teacher! I promised him! "

Due to this, Du Wei suddenly felt a shock!

"You ... too hard to support!" Du Wei sighed, and without hesitation, he suddenly walked over, holding Delong's wrist with both hands, solemnly saying: "Delong Knight! I have to say that you are the most respectable 'knight' I have ever seen in my life! Although the world regards you as a clown! But in my eyes, you are a noble knight! At least you do Committed! "

Yes, it's a promise!

Keep your promise in one word, keep it all your life!

This is the real knight!

Looking at Dewey's eyes, Deron finally sighed. He squeezed Dewey's hand tightly ...
