Chapter 30 Personnel, Materials and Golden Dragon

The idea is great, but a whole host of problems arise.

The first thing to bear the brunt of is the issue of candidates.

This is not a small problem. In fact, this problem is the most important of all problems. The number of people can be more or less, but they must be loyal.

Before new demon hunters emerge on a large scale and can form an army for the frontal battlefield, this team must do dirty things on the battlefield or in peacetime.

This places high demands on the quality of the team's personnel, which must not be taken lightly.

As a man matures with age, Earl Weiman quickly realized what Clay meant by calling him here today, which meant that suitable candidates should be selected from these Mandalay branches.

In terms of cost control, the social relationships of these people are all in White Harbor or subordinate villages, and it is relatively easy to control them after becoming a demon hunter and joining the army.

Although it is disgraceful, this method is indispensable. With the blessing of hometown ties, collaborative management will be much easier.

To put it bluntly, if their wives, children, or parents are all under the control of Clay and his grandsons, the lower limit of these people's ability to resist corruption will be slightly higher.

Narrowing his eyes, Count Wyman asked Clay bluntly:

"How are you going to screen them?"

He thought Clay would say things like force, sense of honor, loyalty, etc. Unexpectedly, Clay didn't hesitate and directly said the word he had thought of for a long time:

"Learning ability."

"Learning ability?"

When Clay said this word, all he could think about was the guerrilla warfare carried out by ordinary soldiers of a certain party in another time and space behind enemy lines. Clay's team would also play a similar role in the future.

It is impossible for him to command them directly. Only by breaking them into parts can he exert his strong execution power. This kind of thing is impossible to recruit peasant soldiers who are illiterate and can only execute orders. Don't even think about it!

The system gave him complete seal abilities, potion knowledge, and even swordsmanship from various schools. However, it was impossible for him to directly grant these things to the new demon hunters in the future. Therefore, the requirement of learning ability was the result of his careful consideration.

After chewing on this word for a while, it was not associated with the word warrior, but that was not important. Earl Weiman fully respected his grandson's opinion.

"You have your own ideas. I won't interfere. You don't need to interfere with the selection for the time being. We old guys will screen out some suitable ones for you first, and then you can choose according to your requirements."

Smart people are like this. They don't need to forcefully interfere in things they don't understand. This is the technical knowledge brought by Clay, so the final decision-making authority, Earl Man, will not compete with him.

Seeing that his old man had helped him complete the most difficult step, Clay put the sword stuck on the ground back to his waist without concealing the smile on his face.

If he took this step by himself, he would have to understand the family background and conduct of these people one by one. This would be a time killer for him who did not know much about the people of Baigang.

"Okay, we've finished talking about the selection. Now let's talk about the next one. What do you need to make a warrior like you?"

Clay must answer this question, but it is actually not easy to answer, because it involves the issue of magic, and explaining magic to the old man is undoubtedly a risky project.

Therefore, Clay planned to avoid the issue of magic power and leave the trouble to himself. Anyway, in order to maintain a stable physical condition during the mutation, he had to be present.

Resting his chin on his palms, Clay thought for a moment and gave his answer:

"To transform an ordinary person into such a warrior requires a potion, which requires a lizard lion venom gland, an adult swamp leech, powdered sentinel bark, and a handful each of ghost grass and coppergrass."

"Well...except for the first one, everything else is not difficult. What about after buying it?"

"Leave the final synthesis steps to me. I didn't do this on purpose. If someone is interested and traces that we bought these things in large quantities, I'm afraid there will be suspicions. Therefore, at this stage, I don't want to come up with any paper production steps. That would be too risky. ”

Clay's statement was confirmed by the old man. They were doing something that had never been done before in the history of Westeros. No one could be too cautious. Earl Wyman was also very pleased that Clay thought so.

"Is there any more?" Earl Wyman continued to ask. What Clay just reported was completely affordable with White Harbor's financial resources.

After thinking about the whole process, Clay recalled the scene where he was rolling around in pain in the mud under the weirwood trees in the godswood, and his body instinctively felt uncomfortable.

"If possible, let the maester prepare some painkillers. This transition is not something that can be passed easily."

Clay only provided the materials needed to transform into a witcher, and he didn't need to worry about the specific collection, purchase and transportation.

I believe that with the old man's experience, there should be no problems in handling these matters. Clay placed the order and waited for receipt of the goods.

In fact, the most critical dragon bone is missing here, but it is too difficult to obtain. There are only two places in the entire Westeros, and that is the skulls of the Targaryen family's former dragons under the throne room of King's Landing. Otherwise, It's the dragon's lair at the top of Rhaenys Hill.

As a place where Targaryen once raised dragons, you might be able to find the bones from that time.

But no matter which way it is, the risk of doing this kind of thing in King's Landing is too high. Even if Clay or the Mandalay family perform a roguelike performance and successfully get the dragon bone, the dragon bone contains a lot of metal elements and is harder. It is higher than steel.

Therefore, it is impossible to perform on-site cutting and segmentation, and there is no electric saw in this world...

I came to the conclusion that even if I got it, I wouldn’t be able to transport it, so I’d better not take any chances with them for the time being.

"Grandpa, how many golden dragons can our White Harbor spare for this matter?" Clay wanted to know the old man's budget in advance.

Hearing that his grandson was actually asking him how much money he had, Earl Weiman, who was sitting there with his eyebrows in thought, suddenly became energetic.

He stretched out a thick, thick palm and spread it out in front of Clay's eyes, with five carrot-like fingers standing up.

"Um...five hundred?"

Clay guessed the number, but immediately realized that he was too petty, because his old man's disdainful expression was already written on his face.

"Five thousand!"

"Ha." Clay was answered with a sneer from the old man. He didn't want his grandson, who was really embarrassing the Mandalay family, to guess, so he gave the answer directly.

"You start with 50,000 gold dragons. I will supply you with as much as you need. The commercial tax of this port alone for a quarter is more than this amount. Can you make some progress!"

From these words, Clay felt the domineering grandpa's domineering attitude that almost touched his face. He couldn't say anything and could only sigh:

It’s great to have money!

Clay finally understood why the family could give 1,500 people complete armor worthy of all of them, but they had no money? Just dream.

If typos are posted first and corrected later, the dog's head will save his life.

Well, I definitely got the recommendation. Thank you for your support. I will write it carefully and fully respect the opinions of all readers.
