Chapter five hundred and ninety-eight [shameless to the pinnacle](1/2)
Chapter 598 [Shameless to the extreme]
Lord Tulip Duke takes command and goes to war.
This news has spread throughout the streets and alleys of the imperial capital. Although the news of the defeat on the Eastern Front was carefully blocked by the upper echelons of the empire, after all, such a big matter cannot be covered by paper, and various gossips spread
Coming out also made people panic for a while.
But now, the talented and magical Duke Tulip is about to take command. This is really a highly anticipated appointment. This young Duke has repeatedly performed miracles, and with him going to the front line... Huh, those savage monster races have not been conquered yet.
Beat the shit out of you!
Naturally, there are many people who are worried about this.
The first one was Camisillo who recommended Du Wei to take command that day. Although this was a political consideration, Camisillo soon felt like he shot himself in the foot.
First of all, the conditions that Du Wei came to him and argued with him were written down in black and white. They were signed and stamped by both parties and had the seal of the Imperial Army Headquarters on them. It was a legal official document.
result……
Within two days, news came from Du Wei that his personal guards had been reorganized.
This was originally a good thing and Camisillo thought so at first. The situation on the front line was urgent and he quickly prepared to get to the front line without any delay. But as a result, when he saw the figures reported by Du Wei, the Minister of Military Affairs slammed the table on the spot.
.
"Didn't you say that your personal bodyguards number one thousand people?!" Camisillo was dumbfounded: "Why did you sign up to receive military pay and equipment? It's five thousand sets!!!!" (It is imperial practice that generals can bring them with them when they go on an expedition.
A small number of private military guards. And military pay and equipment are officially provided by the empire.)
"That's right, it's a thousand." Du Wei sat down on the chair in front of Camisillo and crossed his legs. His legs and feet looked flexible, not at all like the patient who was in a wheelchair a few days ago.
Du Wei pointed at the document signed and sealed by both parties and said with a smile: "Look, it is clearly written here: I can bring a thousand family bodyguard knights. This is what we agreed on at the beginning."
"But what are you doing with the equipment of five thousand men?" Camisillo was unhappy.
"It's five thousand people." Du Wei looked innocent: "Camisillo, look carefully. It says one thousand 'knights'! They are not ordinary cavalry! According to imperial law, a knight with formal
A knight with the title can have up to four knight retinues, and knight retinues are not counted in the number of knights. As a majestic imperial duke, although I myself don’t like to make such a big show or make it so extravagant.
.But, after all, as a frontline general, I always pay attention to the dignity of the empire. How can a majestic duke and his bodyguards be served by ordinary cavalry? These days, which noble goes out without a group of knights by his side?
?”
Camisillo was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He didn't check for a moment. He got into Duwei's trap!
One thousand knights... plus four thousand legal "retinues", then Du Wei can openly bring five thousand private cavalry from his direct descendants of the Tulip family to the front line!
The regent just didn't want Du Wei to mobilize his private army, but this guy actually made a fuss about his words.
The cavalry of the Five Thousand Tulip family!
Camisillo thought secretly for a while. In fact, if Du Wei did this, he wouldn't be able to refute a thousand knights? Do you think the title of "knight" is a piece of cabbage? It's sold by the pound? I don't believe that your men
Thousands of people, each with a formal knight title!
But when he thought about it, Camisillo suddenly remembered that the relationship between the Tulip Duke in front of him and Delong, the badge of the Continental Knights Association, was so good that they could almost wear a pair of trousers! And in the last martial arts competition, Delong
Long relied on Du Wei. He made a huge fortune! Now Delong feels grateful to Du Wei... Du Wei wants the title of knight, can Delong not give it to him?
Who doesn’t know the virtues of that bastard Delong! He is the badge of the Knights Association. When the time comes, he will issue a thousand knight identity certificates. This guy can really do it! Besides, Du Wei is rich! The Knights Association has been short of money.
Even if Du Wei spends money to buy it, he can still afford it!
Thinking of this, Camisillo sighed and reluctantly nodded and signed.
He also knew that when Du Wei came to him to ask for military pay and ordnance supplies for five thousand men, he was actually coming to say hello to him in disguise. He was treating him well. Otherwise, with Du Wei's wealth, he would not care about five thousand men.
The salary and ordnance of the Thousand Cavalrymen? The salary of the private army of the Tulip family is higher than that of the regular army of the empire!
That's all, it's just five thousand people...I think it should be possible to come to the regent's place.
Camisillo signed.
The next day, another exciting new thing happened in the imperial capital.
Duke Tulip personally went to the Continental Magic Guild, the Imperial Academy of Magic, and the Imperial Magic Society to publicly post an announcement recruiting magicians.
Almost every wealthy family in the empire has been trying to recruit magicians to work for them. However, magicians are a rare profession. There are many magicians on the mainland. Officially, there have never been more than 1,000 magicians. In recent years, magicians in the mainland have been
There are only about five to six hundred people registered as magicians in the union.
Things are rare and valuable, and this principle also applies to talents. And magicians are an extremely noble group, so even those wealthy nobles find it extremely difficult to recruit magicians to work for them.
matter.
But...but...
But this guy Du Wei seems to really plan to buy the magician as a cabbage!
And the conditions he proposed spread out and fell into the ears of Yago Doug, the chairman of the Magic Union. Even this union chairman, who had always been a serious man, couldn't help but curse Du Wei secretly: What a prodigal!
That’s not how money is spent!!
Because of the conditions proposed by Du Wei... even those arctic magicians who are usually extremely arrogant and arrogant have to be moved and tempted!
Du Wei declared that any magician who is willing to accept recruitment and work for him, everyone...regardless of the level of magic, even if you are just a low-level magician, once recruited, you will immediately be given ten high-quality magic gems! Five high-quality walnut wands
Hands, two top quality magic power amplifying rings, and... a broomstick. Various magic crystals... a box!!
That’s right, it’s a box!!
Also, a pound of mithril!!
In addition, there is a secret treasure. Du Wei did not explain too carefully what this secret treasure is, but he did reveal that this secret treasure is a precious magic prop left by the mainland mage Master Gandolf. This is attractive enough.
!
This condition can no longer be described as "sky-high price". Even if the magician is noble, he is not noble to this extent!
What is the concept of high-grade magic gems? For example, Yago Doug, the chairman of the Magic Union, the wand he uses is just a top-grade aquamarine magic gem, and his own private collection has collected earth energy in his lifetime.
There are only six of the top-grade magic gems.
As for mithril... that is a priceless treasure!
A pound of mithril? It's enough to trigger a duel between two magicians!
The conditions offered for this kind of recruitment are probably not as much as the entire net worth of a high-level magician!
At the beginning, some people in the Magic Guild only thought it was a joke, thinking that although Du Wei was rich... but worldly wealth, no matter how rich you were, those precious magic treasures could not be bought with money. Du Wei
How could Wei have so many good things?
However, those who saw the joke quickly shut up.
The first to be openly recruited in public were the two "shills" of the late Master Alec's two apprentices, both of whom were genuine mainland seventh-level magicians.
As a result, the two of them swore allegiance to Du Wei and received everything listed in the recruitment on the same day!
After the two guys received those top-grade magic gems, a large amount of magic crystals, mithril, etc., they also created several excellent quality magic power amplifying rings. Seeing them running back to the Magic Guild to pack their bags,
They were about to leave to hang out with Du Wei. Colleagues in the Magic Guild looked at these two guys. They had ten fingers on both hands. They were all covered with magic amplification rings, and the precious light was shining. They looked like nouveau riche.
.
However, no one laughed at them...
I'm jealous!!
To create a magic amplification ring of this quality, you need a top-grade magic gem and some mithril! Ordinary magicians can't even get together the materials, let alone want to create one. Even a great magician can.
Two or three are already quite impressive.
But these two guys just showed off, wearing their ten fingers full, and swaggering around the Magic Guild.
A magician who had a good personal relationship with the two asked them privately, what was the "secret treasure" mentioned in the recruitment?
As a result, the two mysteriously took out a leather cloak. It was a magic cloak. The magicians in the magic union are naturally knowledgeable people. It was fine to look at the magic on the cloak, but
There are just some spells such as acceleration, agility, and magic defense, but the material of this cloak shocked everyone so much that they couldn't even close their mouths!!
Dragon skin!!
This, this is fucking dragon skin!!!!
It’s real dragon skin!!
On the mainland, it would be great if a necromancer could find the dragon bone. But after all, although the dragon bone is rare, it is not too shocking as long as you are willing to spend decades to search all over the continent.
In the ancient battlefield, go do the excavation work. If you are lucky, you can dig out a few dragon bones from the ground of the ancient battlefield. It won't be too outrageous.
But dragon skin... this is so shocking!! Dragon bones can be buried underground for thousands of years without decay, but the skin is different!!
The only recognized way to obtain dragon skin is to find a dragon, kill it, and then skin it for use!
Is it easy???
As a result, there was an uproar in the Magic Union, and the news reached the ears of Chairman Yago Doug, and the old man was silent for a long time. Then he smiled bitterly and said: "Dragon Skin! Damn it... Such generous conditions are even for me.
.If I were not the president of the Magic Union, I would have thought of becoming a magician's retinue under Du Wei."
For one day, no one in the Magic Guild was interested in working. Even many people with good abilities and who were obsessed with magic research all day became excited.
Moreover, Du Wei’s recruitment conditions also have an exciting clause: recruitment is not for life, but for five years!
To be continued...
