Chapter 136 The first wave of gold rush in Antolia!
From confusion to confusion, and then from confusion to enlightenment.
Leon's words opened up Giorni's world instantly, and also made his understanding of himself suddenly rise to another level.
The meaning of his lord's words is actually very clear.
Since the situation in the Sunken Wood Forest is still unclear, some rumors are fabricated, which could be gold mines or treasures.
In short, although you can play freely, you must also make people believe as much as possible that although a trip to Shenmulin is a risky business, it is really possible to obtain excess returns.
Perhaps the nobles would just laugh it off.
However, since the mercenary market in this era has been in a state of oversupply for a long time, there may be some money-hungry mercenaries who believe it and try their luck in Chenmulin.
As for how many people will go to help Antolia, then it depends on your ability!
At this moment, Qiaoerni suddenly felt the weight of the burden on his shoulders, and also realized how deep Leon's expectations were for him.
However...
Qiaoerni has full confidence in his abilities.
As a troubadour whose parents both died, he was able to travel all the way from the north of the kingdom to the south, which is enough to prove Giorny's storytelling level and to reflect the art of his language.
Moderate pressure can best stimulate a person's potential.
Moreover, Giorni is not a person who is content with the status quo. Otherwise, he would not have transformed into a spiritual Antolian in just half a year.
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis! I will definitely live up to my trust!"
Qiaoerni promised firmly: "It's just... if I'm the only one..."
Although he has a certain skill in spreading rumors, ah no, it's the art of language. Plenty of confidence, but Qiao Erni also knew clearly that if he relied on himself alone, he might not be able to fulfill the Marquis's instructions.
"You must also know a lot of bards. For them, telling about the treasures in the sunken forest is definitely much more interesting than singing those old-fashioned heroic epics." "I will ask Aaron to provide you with
manpower and Financial support, but at the same time, you must also give the Jimena family a satisfactory answer!" "
I don't want the process, only the results!"
Hearing this, Qiaoerni couldn't help but double his confidence.
Hiring bards to promote their family's glorious history is actually a routine practice for the nobles of the Kingdom of Andal.
As long as he gives enough money, Qiaoerni guarantees that the news about Shen Mulin will reach the ears of every mercenary!
"I'll leave in three days!"
After getting Leon's guarantee, Giorni said without hesitation.
He considers himself to be the most outstanding bard of the young generation in the Kingdom of Andal. Now that he has finally got an opportunity to prove himself in front of the lord, he will naturally not let it go!
Just like Leon needs a war to establish the Jimena family's status in the south of the kingdom, for Giorni, this is also a war that belongs to him!
...
a month later.
Brundick, Mill Street.
As an important town in the north of the kingdom, as the rebellion that swept the entire Kingdom of Andal came to an abrupt end overnight, the mercenaries wandering on this land were also forced to lose their employers and became wandering among the taverns. Unstable factors.
Although King Wilbert I has made it clear that he will not involve the rest of the northern nobles because of the Duke of Sadwind Castle's rebellion, the nobles living in this land have still unanimously reduced the number of troops to use it. Show your feelings.
"It's so damn cold!"
A group of burly men roughly pushed open the creaking wooden door of the tavern, and slammed the money bags around their waists in front of the boss.
"Strong liquor!"
Obviously, this is another group of idle mercenaries.
If we say that the nobles who have vested interests are the group of people who yearn for peace the most.
So mercenaries who need to rely on wars and conflicts to fill their pockets are undoubtedly the group that craves war the most.
The owner of the tavern was obviously used to the mercenaries' style, and he took the money bag skillfully, and then moved a large barrel of beer for this group of rich and powerful mercenaries.
Although it is still autumn, the biting cold wind has already begun to sweep across this land in the north of the kingdom.
The hardened land and dry climate are already quite unpleasant. Coupled with the loss of their source of income, these mercenaries who are entrenched here are undoubtedly very restless.
Only hot maids and exciting spirits can soothe their inner restlessness for a moment.
"A group of rich hooligans..."
The owner of the tavern muttered silently, then retracted his body to the seat behind the bar.
He knew the virtues of mercenaries very well, especially when dozens of mercenaries with violent tempers gathered in the small tavern.
So...
he also habitually deducted the cost of repairing tables and chairs from the coins given.
But this time, although the mercenaries in the tavern seemed a little difficult to deal with, they did not pick up the wooden chairs and start doing it on the spot as the tavern owner expected.
On the contrary, many mercenaries gathered in the corner of the machine tavern and started whispering after drinking a few glasses of strong drinks.
"Is there really gold?"
"God knows whether it's true or not. Anyway, there have been rumors recently that a gold mine has been discovered in the south of the kingdom." "
Shit! If there is really gold, will it be our turn? Those greedy nobles must be I have already held the gold mine in my hands!" "
I heard that there are many monsters where the gold mine was discovered, and the local nobles don't know where they died!" "
It can't be Shen Mulin, right?!"
No. Needless to say, Qiaoerni's efficiency is very high.
With Leon's financial support, Giorni even fabricated dozens of versions of the rumors, all different and bizarre.
It's just...
when these rumors with noses and eyes are put together, they can be confirmed layer by layer!
And this is the great thing about Qiaoerni!
As the self-proclaimed number one bard in the kingdom, Qiaoerni knew very well that if he directly told the mercenaries that there was gold in the south of the kingdom, they would only become suspicious of it.
But if the words are unclear, but the mercenaries can verify it themselves...the mercenaries who have no brains will definitely believe in the information they have collected by themselves!
And even if there are mercenaries who think this matter is too outrageous, they will never take the initiative to expose it.
After all...
human nature is extremely complex.
There are more mercenaries going to the south, and there are fewer mercenaries staying in the north to compete with them.
Therefore, even if there are many smart people among the mercenaries, they are willing to go along with the trend and let the mercenary groups wandering in the kingdom set off a wave of gold mining in the south!
