Chapter 490 [Real Knight (Bottom)]

“Anything else?” Dewey sighed.

“Yes! Of course there is!" Deron laughs bitterly: “There are a lot of people in knights' associations all over the place, the knights' officers in charge of the assessment, who want to eat and drink laser and feed such a large group of people. The Knights of the Continent is now home to over 600 knights! These men's armor needs to be repaired, right? Weapon repairs are regular, right? And their horses —— how can they be knights without horses? The cost of more than 600 people a year is almost equal to a moderate knighthood! It takes at least 30,000 gold coins to barely survive! We can only spend a limited amount of money on feeding people now... horses are out of control! My lord, you are also a soldier, you know that feeding a horse costs more than feeding a man in a year! ”

Dewey nodded voluntarily.

“In addition to the knights in the association, there are some regular handymen in local associations - you can't expect those noble knights to sweep the windows themselves, can you? These people, who are now on the roster of associations across the continent, number one thousand and forty, and spend about two or three thousand gold coins a year —— which, of course, is already minimal. We try to hire some cheap labor. ”

“I know that I have a bad reputation in Didu, and a lot of people say that I buy and sell knighthood badges and desecrate the spirit of knighthood, but I can't help it.” Drone frowned bitterly: "My lord, to maintain such a large shelf, it costs at least 100,000 gold coins a year! All you can do is barely feed everyone, barely keep this shelf alive! But 100,000 gold coins. Where do I get them? The army only gives a maximum of 10,000 gold coins a year. Fortunately for the King of Regents, the legitimacy of the mercenary corps has now been opened, and now more people apply for the rank of knight every year, but the annual income in this regard is only 45,000 gold coins, calculated, I still lose more than 30,000 gold coins every year! Where do I get these 30,000 gold coins? ”

And finally, Deron looked at Dewey with a sincere expression, as if she looked up to her parents: "Sir, can I not buy or sell a knight's badge? I'm not a clown. Can you keep up? ”

Dewey was utterly speechless.

Speaking of excitement, Dron suddenly punched himself in the armor on the chest with an odd smile: “My lord, just say that I am wearing this armor... it still looks like this, but you don't know, in order to save costs and material costs... this armor looks splendid, in fact... the iron plate inside is hollow! Don't say it's a weapon, you take a sturdy wooden stick and poke it gently is a hole! ”

Dwight: “………"

The headquarters of the prestigious Knights Association is just south of the city of Teito.

It can be said that, in terms of land area, the name of one of the two continental organizations, the "Knights of the Continental Association”, is quite appropriate.

The Knights' Association headquarters, the theme building, is a quadrilateral tower with an empty ceiling in the middle of the tower and a row of three floors on all sides. Theme buildings are built from sturdy granite, look extremely sturdy, and are quite defensive if at war.

And it's also quite large, and if you go around the Knights Association headquarters on horseback, you need about a cup of tea!

Such a large plot of land, for the first male emperor on the mainland, the price of the plot alone is already very valuable.

Unfortunately, when Dewey came to Hehe's famous “Knights of the Continent" headquarters, she was almost stunned by the scene!

This… is this a holy place of the solemn knighthood?

This… this is the market!!

Seeing this square building, every wall turned against the street was penetrated, and the houses inside turned into all kinds of shops! There are cloth sellers, gestures sellers, jewellery sellers, food sellers, handicrafts sellers... and even vegetables!!

Dewey glanced at her eyes, pointing to the front... and the rumbling and selling came in, and it was so lively.

The Drone knight had no guilt on his face, but smiled proudly: "My lord, we are here. ”

“This… this is…”

“This is our knight headquarters!” Delon lifted his chest.

“I thought I saw a food market!” Dewey's voice is a little ugly.

“There's no way.” Delon sighs: “The land and the house are not for sale under the ordinance, so after a long time I thought about it, I had to go through the walls of the street and rent these houses into shops. My lord, don't underestimate these rents. Many of us at Emperor's headquarters live on these rents! ”

He got off the horse and walked ahead with his old horse.

What stunned the many guards under Duwei was that the Drone knight walked all the way over, as if he were a fish filled with water, greeting the owners of those shops and looking very hot and familiar.

“Ah! Uncle Anon, business is good! Haha…"

“Aunt Sophie, this month's rent is about to expire... ah well, I'll send someone to collect it tomorrow. ”

“Boss Dick, this cabbage looks fresh... ah, for me? Thank you very much, hahahahaha...”

Looking at the president of the Continental Knights Association, Dewey suddenly remembers a profession he knew in his previous life: farmer market administrator!

Drone greeted these little merchants, grabbed some cabbage tomatoes and stuff, and waved back to Dewey: "Sir, we're here. Don't stand there. Come on in. ”

Walking into the Knights' Gate, the sound of selling drinks was still coming from outside, and Dewey's face looked a little ugly. Deron smiled at the old man with a limp, throwing what he had just touched with his bare hands. "Boiled all night! Ha ha, saved another meal today. ”

After listening to this, Dewey looked weird, and the taste in her heart was a little more complicated.

•

Walking into the Association's gates, Dewey carefully took a massive look at the ceiling as the thick wooden gate behind closed.

There are about two football stadiums that big.

Obviously, in the glorious days of knights, such a large open space is used to practice martial arts for knights, and it can generally be used as a racetrack. Unfortunately, now… a piece of simple wooden shed has been built.

“What are these wooden shacks for?” Dewey frowned: “Is it a resident? ”

“Residents? Of course not." Deron smiled bitterly: "My lord, there are only six of us at the headquarters of the Knights' Association in Teito! But you see, such a large knight's association, such a large building, can accommodate at least 1,000 people! Six of us, just find a room to stay. This wooden shed is not for people, it's for warehouses. ”

“Warehouse?” Dewey is silent again.

“Yes, the warehouse.” When Dron talked about this, he looked like an eyebrow dancer: "Blessed be the King of Regents! Since he came to power, the emperor has grown more and more prosperous, and merchants from all over the mainland have gathered in the emperor! But then the price of the Emperor's house and the price of the land are rising! You think, when so many customers come to Didu, there must always be a place to stack the bulk of the goods they bring! But Titus is so expensive right now! The rent on the warehouse has also doubled several times! Merchants are called bitter. In this case, when I'm smart, don't we still have a lot of open space? Anyway, it's free, so why don't we build a wooden shack to rent it out as a warehouse! I don't blackmail at all! My rent is 30% lower than the market price! ”

Looking at Drone's intoxicated face, Dewey threw up some blood.

Warehouse... Warehouse!!

“Fortunately, there are these warehouses! Didn't you know that we are now counting on the rental income from these warehouses for the annual renovation of this building!” Deron smiled and tied the old horse to a column.

Dewey sighed: "Lord Delon, these warehouses, starting tomorrow, you will ask the family to return the goods. After all, we're going to rebuild this place, which... is somewhat different. ”

“Back off? That's... that's not a good idea.” Deron is a little embarrassed and has a few laughs in his eyes: “You don't know that all the goods here belong to the chambers of commerce of some of the mighty noblemen in Didu with heads! I signed a contract with them, I can't give them back... and I dare not offend so many big people. ”

“You're afraid of offenders, I'm not.” Dewey whispered, “Whose goods are there? ”

“Noh, these are the armory of the Dragon Mountain Warcraft family! It's full of iron ore! Ah, these are the goods of the Chamber of Commerce of the Count of Villa, some timber from the South. ”

Dewey points to a wooden shack in front of him… this wooden shack is the largest and adds up to more than a few other pieces!

Dewey didn't have a good airway: “What about these? Which house is it? ”

“This...” Deron smiled bitterly and looked at Dewey with a strange look: "Grand Duke Tulip... this wooden shed is stacked with goods from your home... I just signed a contract with your family business chief, Mr. Zach Jr., last month. Because my rent is cheap, Mr. Zach Jr. wrapped this place up for three years in one breath!! ”

Dwight: “………"

•

In Dewey's mind, it's the Continental Knights Association! Two continental organizations named after the Magic Union! Even if it goes down again, Dewey didn't expect it to go down to such a point!

He's naturally been to the headquarters of the Magic Union many times. How magnificent and magnificent is that?

But look at this... Knights Association headquarters?

The grocery market, the big warehouse?

At this point, Dewey suddenly felt a strange smile in the eyes of the Dragon Knight.

In a flash, Dewey seemed to wake up suddenly and understand something.

His face restored calm, waved his hand and let the old cigarettes and other guards behind him retreat first.

Dewey slowly took a few steps, gently touched the simple wooden shacks, and suddenly said, "Knight Delon, I suddenly realized that you are very talented in business. ”

Delon smiled and didn't say anything.

“Actually… I've heard a lot about you. To be honest, in those stories, nothing good has been said to you. ”

Delon shook his head and laughed: “I'm used to it. ”

Dewey thought about it and frowned: “I think you're carrying the title of president of this association, it's a drag, it's a burden! It's a shame to be strapped to such a shitty boat with your intelligence! With your wisdom, if you are willing to go to my family for some business management, in less time, you will surely be a famous big businessman - a hundred times stronger than supporting such a broken shelf here. ”

Dron stopped talking.

Dewey slowly continued: “I thought you were a corrupt villain, a cacti in the Knights Association... but today I saw everything here and I realized... that you were trying to be a clown, but you kept such a mess... Knight Delon, please accept my sincere apologies! ”

Dewey drowned deeply.

The smiley look on Dron's face disappeared.

When Dewey raised his head, he asked, "Knight Delon, I'm curious... the Knights Association has been gone for hundreds of years! Rationally, it's not all in your hands! At least when you're young, it sucks! But when you were young and promising, why did you choose to stay on such a sunken wreck? ”

Dewey's voice was sincere and without any disguise.

Deron finally sighed, and he no longer had that cynical look in his eyes, but rather concentrating.

Slowly, the president of the knights' association spoke.

“My teacher, a former president of the Knights' Association, adopted me and nurtured me… and the teacher had nine disciples in total. Unfortunately, when the other eight grew up, they almost couldn't wait to escape this shithole! I must admit... I wanted to get out of here too! Because it seems to me that the so-called Knights Association is long gone! There is no chance of revitalization at all! But..."

Dron suddenly passed over and burst into tears in the corner of his eyes before taking a deep breath, slowly: “Before my teacher died, he held my hand and begged me to stay. Pray to me to inherit his mortar and do my best to sustain this mess! Before the teacher died, he said to me:" Although the Knight's Gun is gone, he firmly believes that there are still many people, and the Knight spirit is in their hearts! "”

Speaking, he smiled as if he were smiling again. He smiled slightly: “To be honest, I don't believe you! I don't believe in knighthood anymore! But I can't refuse the teacher's cry before he dies! So... I stayed here, inherited the title of a 9th knight, a chairman's position, and became a leader of the Knights of Light Bars... Until today, my hair also began to be white... because I promised my teacher! I promised him! ”

Hearing this, Dewey suddenly blows his mind!

“You… are holding up too hard!” Dewey sighed, then without hesitation, he suddenly walked over and held Deron's wrist with his hands, solemnly saying word for word: “Knight Deron! I must say, you are the most respectable 'knight’ I have ever seen in my life! Though the world sees you as a clown! But in my eyes, you are a noble knight! At least you made a promise! ”

Yes, a promise!

A word is a promise, a life of honor!

That's the real knight!

Looking at Dewey's eyes, Deron finally sighed and held Dewey's hand tightly...
