Chapter 100 Buying an Industry

Inside the spacious carriage, as the team outside gradually stopped, Adil looked at the three people sitting in front of him.

"Okay, now that you've made up your mind, go and tell others outside."

Sitting on the carriage and looking at the scenery outside, Adil said lightly: "The mercenary who came with me this time. Those who are willing to stay and follow me will follow us into the city. As my escort in the future, there will be stability. I can also relocate my family here in the future.”

"As for those who are unwilling to follow, they can go back directly after receiving this commission."

"Yes!" Listening to Adil's words, the three of them subconsciously stood up and nodded.

With the order, they quickly walked out of the carriage, gathered their own teams, and relayed Adil's words to these mercenaries.

After a while, things were almost over. About fifty mercenaries, except for a dozen who refused, most of the rest expressed their willingness to stay.

Looking at the remaining thirty or so people, Adil also nodded.

This time, he plans to live in the ancient armor city for several years. If there is no one under his hand, many things will be inconvenient.

Of course, it is not suitable to appoint all of this group of people, so after arriving in the ancient armor city, Adil will recruit a group of people locally, and then buy some industries to serve him.

After Adil asked for the commission this time, the team was divided into two batches.

Because of Adil's promise and the reduction in the number of people in the team, the group's advance speed increased again.

A few hours later, Adil and the others arrived at Ancient Armor City, and after paying some entrance taxes, they entered the city directly.

It is more desolate than many cities I have been to before, and the buildings around are a bit scattered, and it seems that the order is not very good.

In the surrounding corners, Adil also saw many beggars in ragged clothes, and even some motionless corpses.

It seems that few people come to run business in this place, and teams of dozens of people are rare.

After seeing them, there are beggars coming to beg from time to time around, most of them are young children and disabled, which looks very miserable.

"This place is so messy?"

Seeing this scene, Adil couldn't help frowning.

Of course, beggars are inevitable. Even in Adil's previous life, the profession of beggars has not completely disappeared, let alone in this chaotic world.

But as soon as we entered the city, it was surprising to see so many beggars, and even several frozen corpses that were not cleaned up.

"Sir, this place is like this." On the side, seeing the expression on Adil's face, a guide walked over quickly and said to Adil: "This is bordering the surrounding orcs, and there are wars almost every year, corpses and beggars. very common."

"Most of those beggars were orphans whose parents died in war, and soldiers who were disabled after going to war."

Listening to this, Adil nodded: "Take out the dry food and meat left before, we have fresh supplies when we arrive in the city, and we no longer need those things.

"

Hearing Adil's order, the surrounding guards nodded in response, took out some dry food from the carriage with food and other supplies on one side, and gave alms to the beggars around him who came to beg.

After a while, under the guidance of the guide, Adil and the others came to a local hotel.

It seems that there are very few outsiders here. There are not many guests in the huge hotel, and the remaining rooms are enough to accommodate the thirty or so people brought by Adil.

"I want to buy some properties in the city. Do you have any suggestions?"

After arranging the guards he brought, in a spacious room, Adil looked at the guide he brought, and Eld asked.

"I don't know what kind of property do you want to buy, sir?" Standing in front of Adil, the guide asked.

"A manor enough to accommodate hundreds of people, and some shops enough to maintain daily operations." Adil said.

"A manor that can accommodate hundreds of people is basically the property of the nobles. If you want to buy it, according to the regulations of the ancient armor city, you must have a noble status."

Standing on the spot, after thinking about it, the guide quickly said: "As for the shops, except for the shops selling weapons and armor, other shops are easy to set up, as long as there are enough gold coins and there is no problem with the follow-up operation, sir. You can do it anytime."

"Very good." Hearing this, Adiel nodded: "Today, take someone to ask around, and come back tonight and tell me the situation."

"Yes." The people in front of him nodded, and after seeing that Adiel had no other orders, they walked out with them.

When their figures disappeared from sight, Adil silently walked outside and looked at the scenery in the city.

"I didn't sense the aura of any magic particles. It seems that there are very few wizards in this city."

Looking at the distance, Adil thought lightly in his heart.

On the map, the Kingdom of Gumodo itself is close to a barren area, and the local wizard resources are very scarce. Although it is better than Adil's hometown, the number of spellcasters is also very small, and more are those knights.

"If you want to find other wizards in this city, it is estimated that you still have to contact the city owner."

Bowing his head, Adil thought to himself.

Wizards themselves are aristocratic classes, and the ancestors of many great aristocrats are often wizards, and things with wizards have been handed down.

A great noble with a status like the lord of a city will more or less come into contact with news of some wizards, and should be clear about the distribution of wizards in the city.

"Exactly, if you want to investigate those mutant orcs, it will be much more convenient to use the power of local forces, and after living in this city for a few years, I am afraid that you will inevitably deal with these local nobles."

Thinking of this, Adil turned around and returned to the hotel.

That night, Elder and the others returned to the hotel.

"My lord, we have already heard something."

Standing in front of Adil, several people looked at each other, and then Eld stood up and reported to Adier: "The situation in the ancient armor city is very bad, and many nobles in the city seem to have evacuated here. plan, so a lot of properties are being sold.”

"We have inquired about it, and only recently, there is a manor that meets the requirements of the adults to be sold. The owner is a local viscount who is ready to evacuate, and the offer is 8,000 gold coins."

Speaking of this, Eld hesitated for a while, and then said: "We discussed it, if you are not in a hurry, you can wait for a while, as long as no one takes over after a while, the price of this manor will definitely drop. ."

Listening to his words, Adil's face was calm, and he seemed to have any emotion: "What about the store?"

"It's very easy in terms of shops." Eld said: "We looked around casually, because the ancient armor city recently fought with the orcs, the business everywhere is not very good, and there are people wanting to sell. shop."

"Sir, if you want, as long as you have enough gold coins ready, many people will be willing to sell it to you."

He finished these words in one breath, and then silently retreated to the crowd behind him, returning to his previous taciturn appearance.

The next day, when the sun sowed on the earth, Adil led some people into the city.

He first came to the manor, and after some bargaining with Eld and others, he finally bought the manor for seven thousand gold coins.

Then he went down the street again and bought some shops.

On the one hand, it is to buy some properties in the city, and on the other hand, it is also used to settle some of the family members of the subordinates, so that they can have a stable career.

After all the things are done, the time has come to a month.

･････

Early in the morning, Adil was sitting in the spacious living room, holding a book in his hand, quickly flipping through it.

On the wooden table in front of him, there are also a large number of books, which seem to have been read.

"Sure enough, trying to find some knowledge about wizards from these collected books is a very unlikely thing in itself."

After quickly flipping through the book in his hand, and after the chip quickly transferred the knowledge to his mind, Adiel opened his eyes and said in disappointment.

In the wizarding world, there are often ordinary people who stumble upon books that record the knowledge of wizards, and finally become a wizard apprentice record.

After arriving at the ancient armor city, in order to try his luck, Adil asked people to collect some books at a high price, hoping to find some things about wizards from those books.

After more than half a month, in these books, Adil did see some records about wizards, but most of them were only vague descriptions, and there were very few definite knowledge records. what effect.

"Forget it, although I haven't been able to find advanced knowledge about wizards, it's not bad to be able to enrich the database of chips."

Standing up silently, Adil put down the book in his hand and muttered to himself.

Although the books in front of me did not involve the knowledge of wizards, but after removing those useless poems, there was also a lot of mortal knowledge, which was also useful to Adil.

At this moment, there was a sound of rapid and light footsteps outside.

Hearing the voice, Adil turned around and looked out the door.

There, a meticulously dressed blond old man in a neat dress walked in quickly and bowed his head respectfully after seeing Adiel: "Sir, the city lord just sent an envoy."

Hearing this, Adil was stunned.

When he first came to Ancient Armor City, he had the idea of ​​contacting the local nobles in his heart. He didn't expect that the other party would come to the door before he took the initiative to contact them. )!!
