Rise In Calradia

　　 "Complete your mission seriously, mercenary. This is a commission from King Harous."

　　 "Honesty and fear."

　　 Count Kleis waved his hand, and Byron also saluted and exited the room.

　　 "How? What task did His Majesty the King arrange for us?"

　　 Eleon has been standing at the door waiting for Byron to come out, the expression on his face anxious and expectant.

　　 When the messenger of Earl Kleis revealed that the king had a job to hand to the Peony mercenaries, Eleon was happier than Byron. He seemed to have seen the moment when he became a real knight, and then dragged Byron directly into the carriage and hurried all the way here.

Fatis was a little speechless about this. Although he was a cavalry officer of the Kingdom of Swadia before, as a glorious Suno, the kings of the continents were just powerful chiefs in his eyes. None of them had any. Ability to restore the glory of the Kalad Empire.

　　 "Your Majesty the King arranged for us some jobs in his territory. It is not a difficult task, and the remuneration is relatively high."

　　 Byron took out a list written on parchment, and his face didn't mean too much joy.

　　 When he first got the news, he was also very happy. With the relationship of the king, he would have the opportunity to be hired by the kingdom and even become a lord. Because he was worried that the king would have envoys over, he also deliberately changed into the clothes he used to attend the noble banquet.

　　 In the end, what the king gave them was a piece of paper, and a lot of other nobles asked them to do chores many times.

　　 Although the pay is good, Byron is still a bit disappointed. But he still attaches great importance to these tasks, because it can have a good relationship with the king.

　　 Harous is a stingy and insatiable king, but he can completely ignore the noble's advice and appoint some talented people with an army to hold important positions or even become nobles. This is what Byron is most looking forward to.

　　 Of course, it is precisely because he always ignores the nobles’ suggestions to leave the captured cities and villages to himself, the domestic nobles are becoming more and more reluctant to contribute. The Earl of Sweden is an example. Ten years ago, Swadia almost captured a castle on the border of Nord, but Haraus, who was drunk, told the other nobles that the castle belonged to him. The Earl of Sweden, who was the marshal at the time, immediately took the other lords and withdrew after hearing this, leading to the siege battle at the end.

　　 Therefore, Liangzi was formed between the two. The contradiction between the previous two barons was only one of the manifestations.

　　 Getting along with such a king is a test for the courtiers.

　　Byron took over these jobs and put Elaine in charge of the main tasks, and he was happy to perform them.

　　 Clean up the robbers and bandits in the king's territory and collect the tax owed. This kind of work is boring and sometimes offends people. Byron has pulled himself out of these tasks and let the heroes take the troops to carry out.

Considering that after all, he was doing things for the king in the king’s territory, and the shabby troops were too cheap, so Byron gave Elaine 10 mercenary cavalry and 10 mercenary horsemen, and a team of swordsmen with two carriages and no Let's start with less supply.

　　 Eleon was very awe-inspiring when he left this time, wearing a cloak, shining armor and a beautiful coat, claiming to have been ordered by the king, but not proud of it.

　　 "Sir, I think he is a little overjoyed."

　　 Looking at the figure of Eleon and the soldiers gradually moving away, Fatis's expression was a little subtle, and he felt that Eleon had made a fuss.

　　 "What about the job of the king? That's the commission."

　　 Bandak leaned heavily on his crossbow and curled his lips, especially when he said the word "king" with a little dissatisfaction.

　　 In his view, the most attractive thing about the king's work is not honor, but higher remuneration than ordinary nobles.

　　 The price offered by King Harous is indeed not low, but it is still a lot worse than Bandak’s "king price".

　　 "Eleon is a proud man, let him go and have fun, I think he is very happy."

　　 Byron sighed lightly, then turned around and smiled at the two of them.

"There was a performance in the city today. I heard that they had invited the famous bard Alma* Jose. I heard that he not only performed well, but also always played in the image of a woman. Would you like to see it together? "

　　 Facing Byron’s invitation, Fatis nodded, saying that he had heard about this young and outstanding bard, and since there is a chance now, of course he has to go and see it.

　　 But Bandak has no interest. He has no culture. Although he knows some characters, he has no interest in poetry and opera at all. Rather than watching a man chanting words on stage in women's clothing, it is more interesting to enjoy a night in bed with a real woman.

　　 Bandak refused Byron’s invitation and went to drink with the other soldiers.

　　 As for Kress, who is illiterate, he is completely insensitive to drama, and thinks that it is a bit disgusting for men to pretend to be women, so he didn't go.

　　 Finally, Byron went to the city to watch the show with Fattis, Jamila, and Manid.

　　 For this popular actor with Kujit descent, UU reading www.uukanshu. com Manid and Jamila were very excited to talk about the way. Jamila has read poetry since childhood, and Manid has traveled many places in order to do business. He has seen Alma José's performance and seen his style.

　　 In Manid’s words, Elma Jose is the most beautiful and beautiful man in the continent, even if it is described in poetry.

Of course, this sounded a bit uncomfortable to Byron. After all, in the era in which he lived, the emotions between men and men have become well-known under the popular propaganda of the group called "rotten women". , Byron was also somewhat affected.

　　 The most typical thing is that he is deeply ashamed of himself, and the one thing he is least willing to mention is related to this.

Under the influence of certain animation and literature works, when he saw cute little girls on the street, he always wanted to go over to determine the gender of the other party, even if he came to Calradia for so long, this problem has not been corrected. .

And the most annoying thing is that when Byron was watching a collection of poetry, he also saw a love song written by a female poet to another young woman, which shocked Byron. The shadow was immersed in her heart for several days and it did not disappear. .

　　 However, these bad memories cannot stop Byron from watching the performance of this famous bard.

　　 has been in Calradia for so long, and he deeply feels the influence of the impoverished spiritual culture of this era on people. And if those poems are only on paper, they will make him sleepy. Only by picking up the lute and singing it out can the rich and the common people get spiritual satisfaction in a short time.

Byron wanted to see what Calradia’s drama looked like. Although Calradia has receded a lot in the cultural realm since the fall of the Calade Empire, this kind of medieval style that is completely incomprehensible in modern times is still Interested him very much.
