Chapter 143: The Choice of Magic Majors (1)
Chapter 143: Selection of Magic Majors (Part 1)
The temporary living room obtained by Fang Xin was located in a small villa near the Magic Union. The villa was not big, but it was built quite exquisitely and elegantly. The porch was made of white paint and painted with scrolls.
Fang Xin was in a small living room and met the guests. The living room was not big, but very neat. It was already July, and the living room was no longer a sofa, but a rattan chair.
A coffee table is placed near the rattan chair, and naturally the relatively expensive milk tea is served, which makes the guests quite satisfied.
Etger, Bard, Cronshaw, Sir Borga, and three young men in their twenties, sat respectfully, but they were all full of a hint of intellect. This was the breath of a knight - Damon, Kyle, Vincent.
Fang Xin had promised to take these three young men as knights, and from then on, these knights became his retainers.
In the formation of a relationship between vassals for thousands of years, the loyalty of the knights can be basically trusted. After all, the knights who fought to the end can also gain respect and trust after completing their obligations. For example, Alec Daro, who was captured when he attacked the last time of the attack on the Fort Fayer, was not only not killed, but also treated preferentially. After the new Count of Hamish was born, he would be loyal to the new Count, and the new Count would not deprive him of his title - his brave performance and the price of losing his son were enough to protect his family and title.
But if the knight who betrays the Lord will be condemned by the entire society, this kind of crime is extremely rare in reality. According to most mainstream theological thoughts, this will fall into darkness and hell and will not be forgiven.
But even family knights (that is, knights who do not enfeoff their territory) have their obligations. Fang Xin, as the master, also has the obligations that must be fulfilled.
There are two main obligations. The first is protection. Protection means that when a vassal is attacked improperly or attacked by his enemies, the vassal should come forward to rescue him. Because he is a vassal, he naturally cannot allow outsiders to bully him.
The second is to maintain. Maintenance means maintaining the life of the vassal. This is more detailed, and Fang Xin was discussing this issue with Sir Borga.
"How much does Sir Borga, the three knights' full set of armor and war horses cost now?"
"Jazz, the armor levels are divided into three types, but according to our reality, a set of armor that meets status is worth about 1,500 Jinlek." Sir Borga said.
The three knights were a little embarrassed and didn't say anything, but Etger said: "The family knights, even the count, only bought 1,500 Kinrek's knight armor. I won't say much about the above, that is the equipment of the great nobles and the Wang family knights."
Everyone present knew that when Cronshaw was sealed, the armor he obtained was the level of three thousand golds. This was a special reward from the Principality, which was at the second level. As for the third level, it was only used by nobles above the Viscount.
Fang Xin agreed. Although he could afford a better value knight armor, it was meaningless. He said: "Then let's buy three pairs, Sir Borga, does your chamber of commerce have storage?"
"Of course there is, this is the standard knight armor of the Principality, which you can obtain at any time," Borga said.
"Thank you very much, sir, we will be loyal to you and your family." The three knights saluted immediately, and the three formal and inherited armor were worth almost five thousand gold drone, which was almost worth two manors. This shows the price paid - so we understand why although they are descendants of the nobles, they can never become real knights and have to stay in the stage of apprentice knights because they cannot afford this fee.
"Sit down, this is my duty. Knights, I have one thing to tell you, that is, I once asked Knight Cronxiao to select fifty mercenaries, and they will move to my territory, and in the future you will be your subordinates. I will organize a territory guard, and you will naturally be the chief and deputy captain." Fang Xin said quietly.
"Yes, sir, I'm willing to serve you." The three knights immediately responded that the largest organization of hereditary jazz was fifty people, and the equipment of fifty soldiers was just there - that was the spoil.
Cronshaw also said that these people are waiting and can move at any time as long as they get affirmation.
"As for you, Sir Borga, will your chamber of chambers involve territorial rectification and construction?" Fang Xin said inquiring. Although the office of Hadakh is very good, it is not as good as a professional chamber of commerce after all. Moreover, the Qianying Church represented by Hadakh is too sensitive and has a bad success in everything. This is not a matter of destroying bridges across the river, but a matter of positioning.
"Of course, our chamber of Chamber of Commerce has special talents and experts in this field. As long as you allow, you can fully build your territory." Borga said with a smile. When he knew that Fang Xin had 60,000 gold Lake, he understood that this new nobleman was unlikely to be controlled by his bank.
However, it is also a good business to talk about business and make friends with a new high.
"Well, the first business is to help me clear the river in my territory. As long as I can let small boats come and go, and let the cut down logs pass through. Yes, I will build three more knight houses for me, and it will be on my territory."
"Also, there are logging farms in hills and mountains. Don't have more, just build three first. The logs cut down can go directly down the river. Please build a small pier at the entrance of the river below to collect the drifting logs." Fang Xin instructed: "There must be a warehouse on the pier to store logs. I will buy and sell logs in a uniform manner, and I even plan to build a workshop for furniture and finished wood there."
After hearing this, Borga suddenly changed color. He bought and sold wood in a unified manner, so naturally he would not sell wood at a low price. Processing wood, even rough processing, would bring 50% of the price and profit.
The young magician in front of him was not a real person to deceive. He calculated and said, "It will take about half a year to clear the river in the territory, and mobilize 200 people to participate for a long time. It will cost about nine thousand gold coins. As for the logging farm, small dock, and warehouse, one thousand gold coins is enough. The villa of the three knights is enough, even five hundred gold coins."
Together with the cost of armor, 15,000 gold Lake was removed at once.
As for the mercenary houses, they naturally don’t need to build them with the mercenary, and they can use the wood and bricks in the territory to build them.
Fang Xin thought about it and felt that the Chamber of Commerce made about 30% of the profit, but this was also necessary, so he didn't say much: "Of course I have believed in the credibility of you and the Chamber of Commerce, so I will discuss it in detail, but generally I can agree, but there are not just a few projects."
"If the land after the cut and clearing is a gentle hillside, please ask your experts to see if it is suitable for planting fruit trees and what kind of fruit trees are suitable. I hope to obtain excellent fruit tree varieties." Fang Xin said slowly: "At that time, you can quickly transport the fruit to the city through a small boat, and you can also brew wine."
"After the river is cleared, I am also planning to build some embankments and canals along the river to reclaim the land and establish corresponding villages. These must be carefully considered. I hope you can get a charter, cost, plan, time, labor, and steps. If I think it is appropriate, you can start construction." Fang Xin said: "Sir Borga, do you have any opinions on this?"
Sir Borga, who was a little stunned, shook his head and said, "No, no, you said it very well. It is indeed the case. Our chamber of commerce will give you an evaluation and arrangement. After inspecting your territory, our experts will give you an opinion."
"Yeah, it's pretty good, but now, it's time for us to go to your store to check out the armor. I think the three of us knights are all thinking about completing the canonization ceremony as soon as possible while many nobles are present!" Although this canon is not yesterday's canonization, many procedures must be followed. It is also convenient if many nobles participate: "And, I will make some modifications to the armor. Although it is impossible to add too many functions, it is still possible to add some performance slightly, so it will take some time."
When the three knights heard this, they immediately smiled happily. Sir Borga understood their feelings and immediately said that they could take them to see the armor immediately.
Listening to the stunned shock of Etger, Bad and Cronshaw, they were also preparing to go together. They once again felt the power of the magician.
Magical items are dreams of things, and they are not common items in this world. They are naturally very expensive. These three knights are so happy.
The other party said that the current magical object manufacturing process is quite mature, but it does not meet his hopes.
Fang Xin has already known potion manufacturing, scroll transcription, and so on. As a fourth-level mage, Fang Xin can choose to specialize in professionalism in the next step.
Professional expertise will certainly not lead to inability to learn in other fields, but it just doesn’t have so much time and energy.
For the next step, Fang Xin has decided to choose specialized development in energy system and alchemy, which is related to his next goal.
