The Temple of Heaven has a good reputation in the local area. Soldiers and people alike are very face-saving. When they saw Neo and his entourage wearing crisp dark green military uniforms, the city guards saluted as if they were meeting the commanders of their own troops, while the people on the road and down the road,
There were also many people who took off their hats, saluted and nodded in greeting.
This kind of treatment is novel to Neo. It is the first time in his life to be so respected by ordinary people. It is completely different from the feeling when winning the cheers and applause of thousands of spectators in the arena, although it is also a kind of feeling.
Glory, but due to the nature of entertainment performances, the gold content of glory has been reduced.
Although Neo knows that the respect and honor he feels now are just an atmosphere that those in authority who are not very admirable work hard to create and maintain, a condition and factor that drives people to serve them.
But when the glory comes, he will still feel happy physically and mentally, just like he would be happy and ecstatic when he got treasure and money not long ago.
I have to say, that feeling is very good! It is more intoxicating than eating a delicious meal and watching a beautiful scenery. Neo feels that this may be life, if you have no more lofty ideals, or no greater ambitions
, then pursuing a feeling similar to this moment is also a good goal. It seems to be more fulfilling than pursuing money and beauty.
Even though he was not very proud, Neo still inevitably thought of Erdrit, Tures' life, and what happened to Sols City. It was also the city guards. Even if darkness came and the Black Butcher had dropped in,
The city guard was still trying to use crossbows to force him to those killings and nearby, or simply shoot him. He could feel that the shooter hated him, more than the black butcher, but they had never met.
It has nothing to do with it. The shooter’s hatred is just because of a word of law from those in power!? If necessary, those in power are the law!
Every time he recalls that scene, Neo will have different feelings, and now, his thoughts are different
"There, I really wanted to gain freedom and status through hard work, but what I got in the end was indifference and frame-up. But here, I relied on means and tricks to gain money, status, and glory. This is fate.
Sarcasm and ridicule? No, this is proof of the existence of the system’s laws. The laws formulated by others must comply with, improve, rebel, and abandon!”
Thinking of this, the previous sense of glory immediately faded a lot. Neo took a deep breath and thought to himself: "No matter how beautiful the flowers are, they are still chess pieces. But even so, they still have to work hard to do it, and now, finally, there is a small chance."
accomplished"
Yes, he was promoted. When he was still at Four Leaf Castle, his commission, military emblem, nameplate, etc. had already been sent by Sky Knight to the rank of lieutenant, and he had a knighthood and a quasi-knight.
At first, Neo thought it was a kind of compensation for him from the upper echelon of the temple. After all, he made the temple a lot of money. But when the official letter of the mission seminar was delivered shortly afterwards, he realized that his
The direction of speculation may be wrong. The reason why he was promoted was not because of how much wealth he created for the temple, but because of the failures of Moon 412 and Star 743, which made the temple leaders realize that they had previously been concerned about his role in the temple.
The performance in the spider nest incident and the tree mite incident was rated a bit low.
In fact, it is not just as simple as re-issuing rewards. The people in charge of the Sky Temple have already decided internally before Neo arrived. Neo will be one of the main persons in charge of the incident.
With this appointment, some benefits should be given. This can also make him different from other colleagues at the same time and facilitate command. After all, a trial student commands a group of lieutenants. It is easy to say or not.
In Fury, knights, knights and lords are the lowest aristocratic title with similar levels but different channels. Knights rely on military honors, knights are generally the heirs of lower-level nobles, and lords are promoted by civilians who have made significant contributions to the country.
Knight, this is a title that only appears in the Sky Temple system. Like palace knights, quasi-knights have the rights of knights, but do not have fiefs.
If it were in Oud, the nobles without fiefs would most likely be landed phoenixes. There was a huge gap with the landed nobles of the same rank. However, in Furui, where business was extremely prosperous, not having land did not mean that he was pauper. Like Victor,
This guy doesn't have an acre of land in the Principality of Sandwest, but who dares to take a peek?
It is this special national situation that gave rise to one of Furui's more peculiar things, the precious metal badge. This badge was jointly created by the Furui Mages Guild and the Federal Bank to identify how expensive the nobles are. At the same time, it was also used by a certain
Some people say it is a kind of economic stimulus and spur. On Neo's left chest, in addition to the level 3 guardian badge of the Sky Temple, the shield-shaped four-leaf clover family emblem, there is also a purple gold flower badge, because it is made of platinum.
, also called platinum badge, it means that the assets owned by the wearer exceed 1 million gold.
Money can make the devil Neo come all the way, and there is an endless stream of women flirting with him and flirting with him, and some even express their love directly and boldly: Warrior! Only a warrior like you is the prince in my dream...
Kokar curled his lips and said, "This word should be replaced by warrior! Only warriors like you who are rich and do super dangerous jobs are my first choice for marriage!"
"That's fine! Let's be happy first and then let's talk about these days. Who is stupider than the other?" Huh! Huh! Varug said as he blew the Silver Leaf Medal on his left chest and wiped it with his sleeve.
Kokar glanced at Varug and said: "It's useless. Next time you want to get involved with women, remember not to go with the captain."
"Silver Leaf, if you go up to 30,000 gold, I am a rich man after all." Varugh rolled his eyes, looking unbelieving.
Kokar shrugged, "It seems you don't understand the true meaning of happiness." He stopped talking to Varug and continued to look down at the book in his hand.
"What?" Varug frowned and looked around. He didn't understand. Now he was talking about the charm of money. How could it suddenly be related to the true meaning of happiness? "What are you talking about?"
"Happiness lies in comparison," Canito said lazily, using his thin voice.
Varug scratched his head, and gradually understood that the unexpected fortune of 30,000 gold coins was indeed happiness, and it could also attract some crazy bees and butterflies, but with Neo, it immediately seemed insignificant, just like fishing for golden turtles.
How can the women in the dream be willing to give up the opportunity to seduce a more valuable man? Zheng Xiang said to a certain wandering girl: "It's hard to tell the taste of rich people, what if it happens?"...
During a mission to eliminate poisonous fanged spiders, everyone made a lot of money. The ordinary soldiers were disabled and the pension fund came out; the close relationship between the team and the temple was established; Zanjin and the others also received the largest sum of money in their lives.
Among them, Canito has the most gold, 50,000 gold, Varug and Kokar have 30,000 gold, Zanjin has 20,000 gold, and Mary has 40,000 gold. The reason why the last two have a difference of 10,000 gold is based on the tree mite incident.
It was determined by the different performances of Zanjin and Mary. In this situation, Neo said it very openly: "This is my way of dunking. If I don't remember it long, we will double the punishment!"
Several people were really impressed, especially the 10,000 gold, which is not a small amount. It was completely avoidable that it was gone like this!
In this mission of eradicating poisonous fanged spiders, Neo perfectly demonstrated his ability to turn stone into gold. Naturally, he was the person who reaped the most rewards in the entire incident. He did not talk about the material reserves, but everyone was happy to share the dividends and fall into his hands.
Gold coins are as high as nearly 2 million. Blood energy series materials are worth nearly 2 million. High-grade raw materials and spell-casting powders for making dark energy potions are also expensive. Even those black wattle are also rare good things. The extracted hemp silk is spun.
Cloth is a top-notch material for mage robes. Even the residue left after spinning black wattle can be sold at a good price. Otherwise, how could it be so exaggerated as to require an army to escort it?
After transforming into Simon Windrunner, Neo followed a high-profile approach and did not mind showing off his strength. This style was very common among Fury. Although there was no doubt that he would be coveted by others, it was equivalent to setting a flag:
If it’s not enough, don’t bother me!
Money can accomplish many things in Fury, and when it is combined with power and position, it can be perfectly transformed into combat effectiveness. For example, if the black mine owner Gusby is rich, he can also recruit a few dark thugs with unknown origins.
, or even if they are innocent, they are the kind of short-term workers who apply purely for the high salary. But the same money, in the hands of Simon, who has the status of a quasi-knight, the situation is completely different. It is legal for a quasi-knight to hire people.
, is protected by the laws of the alliance. This at least means that not only the money earned will be visible, but also the efforts and victories won will leave a glorious mark in the relevant files. Simply put, it means that you can accumulate merit.
This is what those black men cannot compare with. As for the upper limit of armed employment of 10 people for the rank of quasi-knight, it can be adjusted according to the specific situation. For example, now, Neo hired the first team of Fire Rose in a private capacity.
Fighting to defend the home
Beginning to realize the benefits of combining power and money, it is only one of the benefits brought by status. What makes Neo more concerned is status, fame, and money. When the three soar, he can win Miriam decently.
After some struggle, Neo gave up his apparently idealistic arrogance and chose to bow to reality. He realized that when he returned to his hometown, he would hurriedly build a team and have a famous name.
, I am afraid it will be at least 5 years later. Miriam cannot wait that long, and he has to consider the timing of the rise of power. After much deliberation, it is more appropriate to marry Miriam under the name Simon Windrunner.
"A promising future, young and rich, powerful and handsome Guardian of the Sky, a noble with a title recognized by the alliance, should be worthy of the Lord's daughter, even if she is not ordinary..."
While Neo was trying hard to climb the pyramid of power and status, Miriam was melancholy about something. "That Viscount Horsen is so passionate that it's unbearable. How could he do such a thing? It's so embarrassing."
Got it!"
Aurora, who had long blond hair in high buns and a handsome military uniform, opened a corner of the curtains and glanced down. She saw thousands of roses forming a pattern with 'heart' as the core in the empty field in front of the house.
, there were several well-dressed musicians to help out, and one of the handsome men in Phoenix City, Viscount Antonio Howson, sang affectionately, but his target was not Aurora, but Miriam.
"Decent and elegant, and his reputation is excellent, but these are not enough to prove that this young man is a truly outstanding man. My dear sisters, there is no need to feel overwhelmed by such a 'true confession'. Compared with the critical moment, there is no hesitation
The 'bravery' of using one's own body to block arrows for you, so that you can be applauded and praised by enthusiastic people, is really nothing. It is also a kind of scenery in Phoenix. After a long time, you will get used to it."
Miriam couldn't get used to it. Her temperament determined this, and the environment here also had a profound impact on her. Any woman of the same age who was with Aurora would be very stressed.
Aurora is like the brightest star in the sky at night. Her literary talent, martial arts skills, status, and appearance are all top-notch. Many people praise her like this: This girl is the embodiment of the Phoenix City, the emblem of the Alliance's 30 million square kilometers of land.
In order to win Aurora's heart every day, the most dazzling stars show elegance, act aloof, act rebellious, show affection, pretend to be pitiful, and there are countless men who play with their personalities. Especially after Aurora was recognized as the master of Fenghuang, this trend became even more intense.
There are signs of doubling
The person involved has been tempered and can remain unmoved, but the girls around her cannot, including her best friend Li En.
Miriam originally thought she could do it, but when she walked into Aurora's life and walked in the top social circle of the alliance, she saw the dazzling glory that did not belong to her and kept smashing it at Aurora.
, but Aurora dismissed it. This girl from a remote countryside cannot be calm. Any woman of this age who is exposed to the gorgeous colors of this world for the first time cannot...
"Simon Windrunner, your seniors and colleagues who have worked with you highly praise your combat prowess. They all say that you must be the one to be selected as the strongest guardian in the 7th period. But why do you think that every time I see you,
It feels like I’m seeing a tidal wave of gold coins coming towards me?”
As one of the temple leaders in the entire Sylfanis region, Spencer's humor brought a lot of levity to the dull atmosphere in the conference room.
"Purification, my lord, is a profit from purification, but it is just a by-product of the incident." Neo was serious, but respectful.
"You are right," Spencer nodded his head and said, "The soil samples and corrupted energy juice samples you provided have been unanimously tested by several expert groups and confirmed that the Spider Jungle has become a severely impoverished state.
Even if the disaster did not last long and the purification was quickly completed through your efforts, the soil condition is still worrying and it is no longer suitable for growing any food crops. This situation will continue for at least 200 years!"
"So we planted alfalfa, hoping that the four-leaf clover would bring luck to that land."
In fact, what Spencer said is not suitable for planting is different from not being able to plant. That land can also grow grains, beans, vegetables and fruits. But the problem is that all the food in Emerald is
It is energy-containing food. This energy does not simply refer to the nutrient energy needed by cells, but refers to the comprehensive elemental energy. Eating incompetent food will not only kill the talent of the caster or fighter, but also affect the eater.
Immunity to elemental energy, a simple understanding, for a person who grew up eating incompetent food, Emerald is a terrifying world to him. Just the ubiquitous radioactive contamination of elemental energy will kill him.
It happened that Renault, the direct commander of Star 745, was also there. Renault said smoothly: "But Star 745 chose that place as its base. Is it because of the large land area?"
Coveting land area is of course a joke. Sylphanis has no shortage of land. It is not difficult to carve out a piece of those valleys for Star 745 to station, not to mention that both Neo and the entire Star 745 have some wealth.
, the temple has gained a lot of benefits. As long as they speak, they will naturally make decisions for them. Choosing the Spider Jungle really makes many people confused. As for the deep purification of the Spider Valley and nests, it is a trick to deceive children. Resident selection
Is it necessarily related to the deep purification of a certain place? Of course not! Otherwise, there would be no soldiers guarding Refuge Valley Town, and they would all settle down in various wilderness areas.
"Gold coins are stored in the federal bank, while people live in poverty-stricken ravines. People are afraid of fame and pigs are afraid of getting strong. The advantage of the iron rooster is that it allows the plucker to think twice before taking action. Is it really worth it?"
Everyone laughed, and even Maxim, who was in a depressed mood, raised the corners of his mouth and pointed at the three consecutive badges on Neo's left chest, "Then what's going on?"
"I'm a tough guy, but not a miser. I'm invulnerable, but I'm willing to spend money. And I'm not the one who takes advantage of me. I can convert the equivalent of money into corresponding combat power. If you want to make a fortune in the Star 745 family, come and give it a try?"
"It's really hard to deal with the oil and salt!" Spencer's expression was exaggerated, as if he was the black hand who was preparing to cut into Star 745 or Neo. Many people were so amused by this scene that they couldn't help laughing.
