Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 17: Adding money to lay people
"That sir is so handsome."

"Not only is she pretty, she's also very gentle. She even gave me a piece of dessert just now."

"The orc under his command is really ugly, with lumps of flesh all over his body. He looks stupid. I don't know why the knight would accept him as his subordinate. He is useless."

The two maids in uniform dresses were talking among themselves, and whenever their eyes fell on the face of the young man in the pavilion, their cheeks would blush involuntarily.

Levi lay comfortably in the pavilion, with the stone table in front of him filled with fruits and pastries.

He looked at the clouds in the sky, enjoying the cool breeze, and opened his mouth slightly.

The little maid serving by the side would be very considerate and would pick up a piece of cake and bring it over.

In his previous life, he was persuaded by a dog to study civil engineering, and had been working like a slave ever since. He worked like a slave for another three years after traveling through time. Levi had never thought that one day slaves would be able to enjoy such treatment as superior people.

Although he enjoyed it, he also felt a little uncomfortable. In his previous life, his behavior would be considered pretentious.

In the garden not far away, Zat, a silly boy, was sticking his big butt out and counting the ants running out from the cracks in the bricks, scratching his butt with his big hands from time to time.

After counting for a while, it ran to Levi and said proudly, "Boss, I counted a total of 103 ants."

"Not bad, there is progress."

Levi nodded with satisfaction and threw a piece of cake over.

Zat took it with joy and swallowed it in one gulp.

After smacking his lips, he touched his head and said a little embarrassedly, "Boss, I swallowed it a little too fast just now, and I can't taste it. Can I have another piece?"

Looking at Zat's silly look, the little maid couldn't help but chuckle, then covered her mouth and laughed.

If it was any other noble's subordinate, she would never dare to do this, but this knight was very easy to get along with and would even talk to her about some strange stories, so she couldn't help but relax a lot.

"roll."

Levi's face was filled with black lines.

Look, you’ve brought shame all over to your grandma’s house.

Under the pressure of the tyranny, Zat had to squat and count ants again.

Looking at his only team, Levi felt bleak about the future.

Although this guy is a hero unit, whether from the attribute panel or counting on his fingers in reality, Zat has successfully proved with practical actions that he is an illiterate person.

As long as the number exceeds its own fingers, it has to borrow its own toes.

It was Levi who took the initiative to order Zat to count the ants.

Levi is determined to train this general who is currently ranked number one.

Not to mention being able to read and write like him and speak eloquently.

At least you have to learn how to count, add, subtract, multiply and divide. Otherwise you won't know how many enemies there are.

Anyone who only knows that killing one person will mean one less person on the other side is just a reckless man!
At this moment, a fragrant breeze blew over, and the respectful voice of the little maid beside him rang out:

"Your Majesty the Duke."

Levi stood up from the recliner, bowed slightly and performed a noble salute.

"Mrs. Florina."

"Sir Levi, I'm sorry to disturb your rest."

Florina was wearing the exquisite black dress with a chest covering that she had worn when they first met. A ruby ​​as big as a cat's eye was deeply embedded in her cleavage. She was open-minded and full of charm.

"Liya has told me everything, so I couldn't wait to thank you." After she said that, she stretched out her little hand to Levi, and Sir Levi was very tactful and raised his hand to hold her, helping her sit on the chair.

"Madam, this is what I should do." Levi added: "Miss Leah presided over my canonization ceremony."

"It's just that the Iseli family is the master of the southern territory, and my ability only allows me to rescue Miss Leah."

Having said that, Levi sighed in a pretentious manner.

"Sir Levi, don't worry about the revenge of the Iselli family. Even the powerful duke cannot bypass the Martell family in the North to deal with you alone." Florina said in a loud voice.

"The Martell family will take revenge. They will face the wrath of the Northmen!"

"I firmly believe in this," Levi complimented.

"At the same time, the Martell family will not mistreat anyone who helps us."

Hearing this, Levi knew that the highlight was about to begin and he couldn't help but cheer up.

Florina clapped her hands lightly, and a servant came into the garden from outside the passage carrying a wooden box.

"In addition to the one thousand gold coins that Leia promised you, I am willing to use five hundred gold coins to support your pioneering efforts as a token of my help in helping the Martell family escape the pursuit of the despicable Lord Seizing."

The servant put the box on the table, revealing the gold coins that had already peaked. Livi picked up one, this heavy, tempting, glittering gold, engraved with the head of King Derby, but more beloved than the king, more tempting than the devil.

There were a total of 1,500 coins, a huge sum of money that Levi had never owned before. It was placed in front of him, but he would not even dare to do so in his dreams.

Florina smiled. She had met many people like this, and she saw greed in Levi's eyes, bone-eating greed.

This kind of person usually dies quickly, but if he is lucky enough to survive, he will often cause a stir.

The last time she saw that look was today, well... this morning when she looked in the mirror.

"No!" Levi threw the gold coins back into the box with great regret.

"Oh?" Florina raised her eyebrows slightly.

She had always been confident in her ability to judge people, but could it be that she had made a mistake this time? Was this Sir Levi a noble knight who regarded money as dirt?

Levi knocked on the table, his tone heavy. "Ms. Leah is the Tulip of the Plateau, the legitimate heir of Colen, half of the blood of the Martell family, and your niece, do you understand?"

Before Florina could react, she heard the most righteous and deafening cry in her life:
"How can a mere five hundred gold grams reflect the importance of the Martell family?"

"At least one thousand gold grams!!!"

"Okay, one thousand gold grams, this is nothing to the Martell family."

Florina took a deep breath and tried to keep her face calm.

She was indeed not wrong, but she underestimated the gentleman's shamelessness.

Florina agreed quickly, and Levi immediately climbed up the pole.

He couldn't help but stand up and support himself on the table with both hands, trying to put pressure on the other party, which is a common tactic in negotiations.

But the next moment, the unfathomable white ravine came into view, forcing him to pretend nothing had happened and slowly sat down again.

"I heard that there are a group of orc slaves in the largest arena in Bailiu City?"

This was the information Levi had just specifically inquired from the little maid.

Orcs are a group of wilderness dwellers living in the deepest part of the wilderness. The harsh environment there has honed these guys, making each orc have both courage and combat experience, and a natural warrior.

Zat originally ran away from the wilderness, and ended up in the southern border, where he was picked up by an arena.
