The Invincible Overlord of Heroes
Chapter 113 The deal with the temple
The temple's method of identifying spies is very simple. After a priest comes over to cast a spell, a knight opens his mouth to interrogate the two.
The knight asked Wei Yihong in detail about their identities and origins, and then asked the two of them whether they were spies of the Orcs and whether they had committed any crimes.
Everything else was fine. The priest nodded to every answer. Especially after denying the orc spies, the few knights present obviously relaxed.
However, Wei Yihong's last question was answered hesitantly.
The pastor shook his head directly, making Wei Yihong nervous.
But surprisingly, even though they knew that Wei Yihong had a criminal record, several knights did not ask him in detail. Instead, they asked him about the purpose of coming to the town.
"You said you have a batch of weapons for sale?"
Wei Yihong nodded and said: "I only brought a small number of samples when I came this time. Because they were seized from horse thieves, some of the leather armors are still damaged."
The knight waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I will recycle them at the normal price."
Wei Yihong said with a half-smile: "I saw that there seemed to be many militiamen being trained outside the town."
The knight snorted coldly and said: "That's why I hate dealing with you businessmen. Just wait here, someone will come over and talk to you."
However, Wei Yihong shook his head and said: "No, no, no, I still need to purchase some things. I need to go to the town to look for them."
Unexpectedly, the knight waved his hand and said: "I'm sorry, you can't go. You are a dangerous person and can only stay with the knights of the temple."
Wei Yihong said: "Are you planning to buy or sell by force?"
Tahan, who had been silent all this time, stared at the leading knight coldly and said:
"I have answered all your questions. If you still want to stop and detain us, I can only exercise my right of self-defense."
At such a moment, the temple did not want to provoke a sixth-level knight, which is why they let it go even though they knew Wei Yihong might have a criminal record.
The leading knight said: "Sir, you have no problem. You can leave or enter the town freely."
Tahan said: "We came together as two people, and we must leave as two people."
The knight fell into silence, and the reservists behind him also silently put their hands on their weapons.
As knights trained by the temple, although their rank is not that of knight, their equipment is not bad. They are basically 4th and 5th level plate armor.
Just when the two sides refused to give in, Wei Yihong coughed and said:
"Don't be like this, we are here to trade, not to fight.
You have taken a fancy to our weapons and equipment. At worst, I will give them to you and the temple. I think our lords should be able to bear this loss. "
The knight glared at Wei Yihong fiercely and snorted: "What do you mean by this? We are knights, not robbers."
After saying that, he probably felt that what he just said was untenable, so he added: "I just can't stand you businessmen who are just raising prices."
Wei Yihong explained with a smile: "It is disgusting for merchants to sit down and raise prices, but without high profits, which merchant would be willing to risk being slaughtered by orcs to come here to trade?
What's more, we just want to seek a fair market price. You don't even give us a chance to find out the market price. Even if you are not a robber, isn't it bullying the weak? "
The knight was speechless after being refuted, not because he didn't know how to argue, but because as Wei Yihong said, he couldn't feel guilty and didn't want to deceive himself, so he simply stayed silent.
It's useless for Wei Yihong to refute these knights. These guys will accept death. Even if they are wrong, they will stand in front of you, and you can't really fight with them.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a high priest of the temple walked in outside the temporary residence of the temple.
The high priest's status in the temple is very transcendent. Not to mention that the ranks of these few are not as good as him. Even the paladins who are one level higher are treated as equals.
The reason is naturally related to the advancement of the high priest, but I will not explain it in detail here.
"Knight Lauren, let them leave. I know the people who sent them here. I can guarantee them."
The high priest had to give him face. As soon as the leading Laurent knight got out of the way, Tahan made a knightly salute:
"Thank you, His Excellency High Priest Ryan."
Ryan said in surprise: "You know me? I once heard Lacy say that the village he will build in the future will be called Qingfeng Village, which means Qingfeng Xulai.
I heard that you were in trouble, so I hurried here in order to avoid any misunderstandings with my old friends, but I didn't expect that someone under Xu Lai's command knew me. "
Tahan bowed respectfully again and said: "Your Excellency Xu Lai has always said that your master and apprentice have given him a lot of help and are his most important friends."
Xu Lai actually never said this, but he did say that the little girl Elena, it was the seeds given by this little girl, which helped him a lot.
However, although Tahan is a dull person, knight is a profession with extremely strict etiquette requirements.
It can be said that Tahan does not like to socialize, but it cannot be said that Tahan does not understand how to socialize. At least he is not stupid enough to repeat to Ryan what Xu Lai usually said.
Ryan was indeed very happy after hearing this. He smiled and said: "How are you, Mr. Xu Lai? The temple has been too busy recently, otherwise I should go and visit Mr. Xu Lai."
As the saying goes, if people respect me a foot, I will return a foot to others.
Although there is no such common saying in the different world, the methods are always the same, and Ryan is obviously much more polite.
"Qingfeng Village has recently been targeted by a group of horse thieves. Our village has suffered a lot of losses due to the horse thieves, so we took these equipment to make up for some of the losses."
Tahan did not answer Ryan's question directly, but said that there was a horse thief and Qingfeng Village suffered losses as a result.
What he said was all true. Qingfeng Village lost dozens of flower elves and several spearmen, but it also gained a lot of benefits.
However, when Tahan said this, most people would definitely feel that Qingfeng Village had suffered a great loss.
Sure enough, Ryan had a few words on his lips, but he couldn't spit them out in the end. He had to shake his head and sigh:
“Grassland business has been increasing rapidly recently, and we have received complaints from several caravans. The temple and Count Aini have sent their men to patrol.
However, Pingfeng Grassland is too big, and horse thieves and thieves are elusive.
Now everyone's focus is on fighting the orcs, and the temple is really helpless with the horse thieves.
Your village should be built behind the town. Nowadays, the construction of the town lacks a large amount of wood and stone, which seriously delays the construction of the fortress.
Without a strong fortress, we can only fill it with human lives.
Even though the knights of the temple have carried out targeted training for farmers, there is still a huge gap in their ability to train, equip armor and weapons, and operate all the blacksmith shops in the town.
Since Knight Tahan knows me, can you give me some face and leave these weapons and equipment to the temple?
Your master also knows that now that wars are raging, the temple cannot make ends meet, and money is needed everywhere.
For these equipments, no matter they are good or bad, we will add 50% to the previous market price. What do you think of Knight Tahan? "
Tahan saluted again and said: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty the High Priest, I am not qualified to trade with you. This trip and transaction are all solely responsible for Mr. Wei."
Ryan's face showed obvious disappointment, but Wei Yihong's face showed a bit of gratitude.
He took a step forward and said: "Hello, Your Majesty the High Priest, may I venture to ask at what price the temple was purchased in this small town?"
Ryan and the knight named Lauren looked ugly at the same time, but Ryan still answered Wei Yihong's question.
"At three times the normal price, if Mr. Wei is willing to continue waiting, he may be able to get a higher price before the orcs come."
Like Lauren, Ryan didn't have the slightest fondness for businessmen, so his tone wasn't very good.
The reason why I answered Wei Yihong's question was for Xu Lai's sake.
This is a young man he is quite optimistic about. He has the special status of a hero. Although he is a little cautious, he is still kind and brave deep in his heart.
Ryan believed that after some time of experience, this young man would be able to become a banner for mankind, a figure who could at least stand alone.
Maybe he was too wishful thinking, but as a cleric of the temple, he, like the knights and priests of the temple, was still full of hope for those who had good intentions in their hearts.
Wei Yihong didn't care about Ryan's tone. He had now lost his identity as a hero and was probably not as good as an ordinary person in this world.
Ordinary people at least have a relative or friend to seek refuge with. Who can he rely on?
Ordinary people can still grow through teaching and training, but if Wei Yihong is allowed to go into battle and fight with people, what is he capable of doing as a salesperson?
Therefore, Wei Yihong didn't care about Ryan's attitude towards him, but he cared more about the job Xu Lai gave him, because this might be the only opportunity in the world to prove himself.
"High Priest Ryan, I think you misunderstood. I did not say that we cannot agree to your conditions."
Ryan's eyebrows jumped and he said: "So, how many equipment and weapons do you have in your hands?"
Wei Yihong thought for a while and said: "Currently, there are 31 pairs of leather armors, 18 pairs of leather boots, 6 pairs of iron armor, 12 pairs of walking boots, 11 iron helmets, 13 steel helmets..., a total of 160 pieces of various equipment. On the left and right, there are 50 pairs of swords and 30 pairs of spears and bows.
Of course, some of it is damaged, but I guess you don't mind. "
Ryan noticed the word "present" in Wei Yihong's mouth and said doubtfully: "From your tone, it seems there are more."
It's just that hundreds of pieces of armor and weapons may not be able to piece together 50 sets of equipment. Although it is a lot, he, the high priest, is not needed to come forward.
But if there were more, it would be worthy of him, the high priest, to follow them in person.
