Rise In Calradia

Chapter 24: : Do you know Bandak?

   "1200 dinars, this is not a small number, our plan has been half successful."

  Fatis looked at the pocket of silver coins in Byron's hand and nodded tiredly.

   "This is not a small fortune, but this is just the beginning."

  Byron also smiled, for these silver coins, he didn't work hard.

   When bargaining with that businessman just now, he was actually very scared. He is still too young and lacks aura.

   When he heard about 1,000 silver coins, he already wanted to agree, but in the end he persisted, and therefore took an extra 200 dinars.

   After getting the money, Byron summoned his soldiers and paid them the salary they deserved.

   In this way, Byron still has almost 1,300 dinars in his hands.

   "Head, you are really generous and wise, brave and upright."

   John took the money, the smile on his face was very bright, and he praised Byron's behavior.

   "This is what you deserve for my service. For our brothers who died before, I also prepared a sum of money for them."

   Speaking of this, Byron took out a small bag and shook it, and there was a sweet sound of coins colliding in the bag.

   "When we go back, I will hand over the money to their family members. If they have no family members, we will hold a decent funeral for them. You follow me, and I can't treat you badly."

   Byron's words obviously played a role among them, and Byron saw a touch of movement in their eyes. Although very few, it is better than none.

   You don’t need money to govern the army, but the former can indeed solve many problems.

   After paying his salary, Byron went to the largest tavern in Veluga and began to inquire about the news.

   "Hello, sir, how can I help you?"

   Seeing Byron sitting down beside him wearing a burqa and armor, the traveler immediately showed respect.

   In these years, travelers must not have trouble with a person who wears armor and holds a sword, otherwise there may be a disaster at any time. This sentence is common in the five countries on the Calradia continent.

   "I heard that an old nobleman's young fiancee ran away, do you know about it?"

  Byron ordered a glass of wine, looked at him and asked.

   "Of course, but what do you want to know from me?"

   The traveler nodded and glanced at Byron's mace.

  Byron has been inquiring about Jamila for a long time, and even wants to inquire from the merchant who bought oil from him.

   But in the end, he still didn't ask. The relationship between the other party and the nobles is very close. If they misunderstand something, Byron can't eat it.

  I have already bought six glasses of wine in this tavern and asked four people, but the news is rather scattered.

  Byron also tried to ask Bandak for news, but the result was not as much news as Jamila.

   "If you want to know about her, I don't know much. She is a good girl and has helped many poor people. The old congressman has a lot of wealth and a good reputation, but marrying such a lady to him is too wasteful."

   For Yamila, this traveler knows a lot more than the others, and he has his own opinions.

  Byron knew that he could get a lot of news, so he asked an important question.

   "Do you know where she is now?"

   The other party didn't answer directly, but his eyes moved away unnaturally.

   "Why are you looking for her for?"

   The other party asked a little bit suspiciously and a little cautiously.

   "As you said, she is a brave and beautiful lady. I should meet her and help her."

   Byron smiled, and handed the two 2 dinars denominations silver coins pressed under the palm of his hand.

   4 dinars are not a small number. Byron thought he had the information he needed most, so he took out the money.

   The traveler looked around, put the silver coin in his arms, and lowered his voice.

   "I heard that she rode a horse to the south, and it was in the direction of Jelkala. If you hurry, she should be halfway there now."

   Byron nodded, his expression unchanged, but he knew that these four dinars had no white flowers.

   After a few more conversations, Byron found out that the traveler knew a lot about Roddock, so he didn't leave after the conversation, but tried to ask.

   "By the way, my friend. Do you know that there is a crossbowman named Bandak?"

   To Byron's surprise, the other party answered him without even thinking about it.

   "Of course I know, I met him in Jelkala in the winter. He is a crossbowman captain in the city, and we are friends."

   "How did he live there?"

   "Fortunately, I don't earn much, but I have no problem with my living. Do you know him?"

  Byron is very happy to hear about Bandak, but it sounds like Bandak has done well, and he is still the captain of the crossbowman.

   To recruit him at this time is tantamount to digging the corner of the kingdom, which is probably not appropriate.

   But it's spring now, and it's been a few months, everything is hard to say, he still has to go to Jelkala to see, Bandak should still be there.

  If you act fast, maybe you can still see Yamila and pull her into the group.

   And most importantly, he has to go to Veluga to purchase Rhodok’s most important foreign trade product, the finest velvet of Jelkala.

   Originally Byron was planning to start purchasing in Veluga, but Veluga doesn’t have much velvet, and it is expensive, and it is only available to local merchants.

Byron asked, this is because Jelkala is the king’s territory, so the treatment is special~www.novelmt.com~ In order to allow the commercial activities around Jelkala to develop better, King Griffith ordered restrictions on the city. The velvet is transported to other cities in the country.

  Only in this way can caravans continuously come to Jelkala and drive the surrounding development.

  Byron only planned to take a day off in Veluga, but because his soldiers ate and drank and wasted their salaries everywhere, something went wrong. Either drunk and couldn't get up, or squatted in the toilet and couldn't get out.

   Byron thinks about the sticks provided in the toilet, and feels embarrassed for these soldiers who have diarrhea.

   But the most annoying is a militia who drank too much, gambled and fights and lost all his wages.

   This fully exposed some of the problems in Byron's army. Before joining Byron's army, these soldiers were mostly idle hooligans, with many problems and not far-sighted.

   Fortunately, half of the soldiers still had dinars left to buy some weapons and equipment for themselves.

  The most powerful one is the bankrupt farmer, who has put on a thick cotton armor and wears it on the outside of the leather armor. Although it's a bit thick, it has a lot of defensive capabilities.

   For various reasons and the time that Byron used to talk to the soldiers, Byron stayed in Veluga for two and a half days before he was ready to set off again.

   This time the carriage in Byron's team was empty, and new food and drinks were put on the cart.

   And Byron Byron also bought two tins, so he can cook and eat. Each soldier was given a new wooden bowl and a wooden spoon.

   In the wild, hot food brings not only nutrition, but also a sense of satisfaction.

   And Byron also asked a carpenter to make some cutlery for himself according to his needs and put it in his hometown. This cutlery is called "chopsticks."
