Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 547 Signing a Contract

"Clang clang clang..."

The violent turbulence woke the young man up, and the biting cold wind hit his face, making him subconsciously hug the robe tightly around his body.

He judged that he should be in the carriage, and the side door was ajar, revealing the snow-covered plain outside in front of him.

"Hey, you finally woke up?"

He realized that this strange collision sounded from the front, and at the same time there was a scent wafting from the front.His eyes were blocked by the person straddling in front of him, but he saw a pot boiling on the table in the middle of the front car, and several girls were putting meat slices into the pot.

Some of them urged:

"Mr. Wei, come and eat, your bowl is almost full."

"Hold on--"

The young man in front of him responded, and then looked at himself again: "Name?"

"Me?" He was in a trance for a moment, and then replied:
"Greeley Stark."

So the astrologer was dragged to sit at the table inexplicably, picked up the plate inexplicably, drank the hot soup inexplicably, and then burst into tears inexplicably—this kind of warmth slipped through the esophagus, and the body gradually How long has it been since I felt warmed up?

"Eat slowly, eat slowly, you have been in a coma for two and a half days, you can't eat too much, drink more soup."

A mature woman with black short hair around the ears gently filled him with a bowl of hot soup. He drank it in a daze, and it took a moment for him to realize:
"I was in a coma for two and a half days?"

"To be exact, it should be two days and fifteen hours." The half-elf I met in the alley put down the bowl and said calmly, "You passed out within three seconds after picking up that crystal ball."

"Crystal ball..." Greely Stard recalled, and the chaotic scene immediately resurfaced in front of his eyes, making him start to crumble immediately.

But the picture revealed by the crystal ball was clearly recalled at this moment. He pointed at the half-elf with one hand and said vaguely: "The sea, I saw the sea, I saw the huge ship... I saw the scarlet... …What is that, Full Moon? I also heard wolves howling—"

"call!"

He was panting heavily, and a thin layer of sweat was visible to the naked eye on his forehead.The expression of the half-elf on the opposite side gradually became serious, and he didn't urge him, until he couldn't remember any information, shook his head helplessly, and then gently raised his hand——

In an instant, a gentle wind enveloped him, making his nerves that were so tense that they were about to break again resumed, as if he was wandering in Lin Hai's embrace.

"Well, I now believe that you do understand astrology." The half-elf stood up, stretched out a hand to him, and waited for him to hold it before continuing: "Introduce yourself, Cyril Adrian."

"Mr. Adrian..." Greeley Stard nodded, repeating his name, suddenly realized something, and his voice became louder in an instant: "Wait a minute, you said your name is What? Cyril Adrian?"

"Yes."

"Amathil...the youngest Earl of Siliki, Earl Adrian?" Greeley covered his mouth with his hand, then put his hands together in front of his eyes, shaking vigorously: "Danya is on top, Danya is on top , I actually did a fortune-telling for Earl Adrian, and even had lunch with him—”

"What are you talking about..." Cyril said helplessly, "Could it be that I'm famous?"

"Don't you know anything about your reputation?" Greeley's voice couldn't hold back his surprise, "Half of the Volgo province has been reporting about you recently, although the fruit wine of Siliki is the most famous... ..."

Cyril immediately understood - this is the Thunder Lions Legion adding fuel to their reputation.

After all, the ownership of the territory in Amasir is also a matter of Amasir's family. Unless it is a war between the brothers of Duke O'Connor's family that decides the ownership of the entire area of ​​Amasir, it will not be known to the outside world.

It is obviously impossible for Siliki to win a wave of fire in the Volgo province by defeating Philling.

As for the battle report in northern Xinjiang, how many military exploits the Siliki Army has, it is not something ordinary soldiers of the Thunder Lion Army can know at will.

Unless the Chief of Staff Raymond waved his hand, summoned all the generals, read Silikie's magnificent achievements aloud, and finally said, "We must learn from the Silikie Army and Earl Cyril Adrian", Only then will it be possible for Siliki to fire up the Volgo Province...

Greeley was excited for a while, and with his excitement, he ate three or four pieces of meat in a row and drank the soup in the bowl. Then he wiped his mouth with his robe and asked, "Adrian Count, are we... traveling around Mivola?"

"Mivola?" Cyril raised his eyes, "We have been away from Mivola for almost a day, and the city closest to us should be Ehataro."

"Oh, that's how it is...wait a minute!" Greeley slapped the table and stood up, "What, leave Mivola—Master Earl, why did you take me with you when you left Mivola? s things……"

"All your luggage is in the corner of the carriage." The gentle black-haired woman pointed to the corner and said, "The tavern owner said that you are a real pauper with only this little luggage."

Greeley's expression froze, he turned his head, and found his cloth bag—although what she said was true, she was a poor man, but being pointed out by an elegant and beautiful woman...

However, the Earl in front of him was not at all ready to speak at this time: Cyril tapped the table twice lightly, forcing Greely to turn his head to him, and then said in a deep voice: "Why did you take me with you? If you remember If you touch the crystal ball and get dizzy, I think you should have the answer."

"This crystal ball belongs to rare props and cursed items. The alchemy workshop sold me [-] Gentry, which is equivalent to you owe me [-] Gentry. You set up a stall for divination once. According to At the current price of gold, I need at least [-] divinations to be able to redeem myself—"

"Two, two, two thousand seven hundred times?!" Greeley wailed, but then he seemed to remember something, and said repeatedly: "My lord, you said you wanted to test my divination ability, so I went to touch it. That crystal ball, it’s not that I actively want to..."

"Yes, that's right." Cyril nodded slightly, "And it turns out that you do have certain divination abilities."

"So I give you another option."

"I'll hire you to be my exclusive astrologer for Siliki. The monthly salary is fifty silver terry. The salary will increase after three years. The contract will start at ten years. After ten years, we will consider whether to renew it." Cyril snapped his fingers, and Mia at the side immediately handed the parchment that had been drawn up to Greeley.

"Of course, you can also choose not to sign the contract, then you can honestly stay within sight of me, save enough eighteen Gentry to pay me back, or divination for me [-] times—by the way, every Always use the crystal ball I paid for."

Greeley swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Even a fool can tell whether it is better to sign a contract or not to sign a contract. Although such conditions almost force people to sign a contract, the conditions of the contract are favorable enough.

A monthly salary of 36 silver terry - this is already an absolute high salary, he may not be able to divination ten times for a stall for two months at the price of one silver terry.And three years later, the salary will start to increase. Calculate the three years and [-] months multiplied by fifty silver terries, which happens to be the price of eighteen gentries under the normal gold price...

In other words, I can still pay off the crystal ball owed while getting my salary, and then get an additional salary increase. If there is no accident, one month after the salary increase, Gentry will start——

Danya, isn't this the life I want?He can still hug the absolutely wealthy thigh of Earl Siliki!
After a simple calculation, Greeley's breathing was almost stagnant, and he stammered, "Yes, but why do you need me, Lord Earl—"

"Because I need an astrologer." Cyril said calmly, "Sign or not, give me an answer quickly."

"Sign, I sign, I sign!"

Without any hesitation, Greeley signed the contract—even if you put aside other messy things, buy a crystal ball for someone who can casually throw eighteen Gentry Wouldn't this be a wrong choice?
Obviously not!

"This is Mia Christian, and this is Misha Aishan. These three are the three Romanus sisters. We are going to Solkonan now."

Mia took over the contract and put it in a separate space bracelet, and Cyril casually introduced: "We don't have too many rules here, but after signing the contract, don't do private work. With your power Before it is enough to master this crystal ball, I will equip you with another crystal ball."

Cyril weighed the crystal ball that made Greeley dizzy in three seconds, and then put it back.

Hiring an astrologer, as long as he can actually do divination, the price of one Gentry a month is definitely a low price.The average salary of the royal astrologer is two and a half Gentry, and the chief astrologer is simply not short of money, and all needs can be reimbursed by the royal family.

This astrologer named Greely Stard, although he looks unkempt and unreliable-after all, astrologer is a profession that is regarded as a master, and the people who go in and out should also be high-level people in society The place where the aristocrats dance and reception is their stage.

It is rare for an astrologer like Greeley Stark to hang out on street stalls with his dirty robes.

But he does have the ability of divination - the sea, the huge ship, these are all in line with the characteristics of the south that Cyril may go to.

And after he entered the province of Volgo, he had never talked to anyone about the south. It was impossible for this astrologer to overhear his own affairs and respond accordingly .

He didn't expect to get the details of every next thing from divination, and it was also impossible for him to happen.

Divination can only obtain a general direction, the more detailed the divination, the more expensive it is to pay.In addition to giving "sea" and "ship", Greeley also gave several elements of "scarlet", "full moon" and "howling wolves", which is already very detailed.

And such a detailed divination only took three seconds——

Cyril couldn't help being a little curious. It's really incredible that such a capable astrologer in the field has not been discovered by the players.

Unless he did not survive January 1441 in history, for example, he was beaten to death by the captain of the guards in a dark alley because of bad luck, or starved to death in Mivola because of poverty...

But all in all, it was a pleasant surprise to be able to pick up an astrologer by accident on the way to Solkonan.

--------

The carriage was moving forward steadily. The western part of the Volgo province had been snowing continuously recently, and the temperature was more than one notch lower than that of Amasir.

Roxana Romanus, the younger sister of the Romanus family, nestled in the arms of her two older sisters, her little nose twitched: she caught a cold while playing in the snow, and now she sneezes continuously for more than ten times. indivual.

Cyril poured magic into the "stove lamp", a dwarven handicraft that served as a fireplace while illuminating, warming the carriage.

"There are still three days to go before Solkonan."

The nightmare horse ran all the way, greatly reducing the travel time, shortening the one-month trip to less than 20 days.

"According to the news from Ursala, it seems that His Highness presided over the recent court meetings." Mia said with some concern, "Your Majesty hasn't shown up since he returned from Northern Xinjiang. Hearing that His Highness is resting, it's okay Don't know exactly how."

Cyril shook his head.

Kelsen Herman's aggressive actions in northern Xinjiang greatly encouraged the soldiers in northern Xinjiang, but it also put him in danger.Although the battle report obtained by Siliki did not detail how tragic the last battle the brave king fought in northern Xinjiang was the battle that was rescued by the suspected leader Christine.

But Cyril realized instinctively that the king might have been seriously injured in that battle.

He had a bad premonition in his heart.Although the situation in northern Xinjiang is much better than in history, if—he just said if, Kelsen Herman died because of this—

Although the little prince Alexei Sherman is still too immature at this time, and has no right to speak compared to history, the successor must be His Highness Anastasia Herman.But when the king is replaced during wartime, the country will definitely experience some turmoil, which will make the direction of history even more confusing...

Cyril was a little restless, and he was even more uncertain about the eldest princess summoning him into Solkonan.

And amidst such unease, the carriage finally left the province of Volgo and drove all the way into Solkonan.

　Almost swallowed by the sleeping demon again...
