The treatment of the soldiers of Teresa's Kingdom Corps is very good, far exceeding that of other countries' armies, and there are many channels for promotion in the Corps. Military merit, returning to Teresa's domestic calculation will also be cut in half, plus the reduction of other factors, it is not bad to be able to leave 30% of the military merit in the end.
Therefore, the Teresa people's first choice for their future planning is to join the academy and become a scholar. If there is no way to become a scholar, they will find a way to join various corps in the kingdom, accept foreign employment tasks as a corps, and earn military merit. , and only when all paths fail, will he join the mercenary group of other countries as an individual.
It is precisely because the treatment of the Kingdom Corps is very good, so the various military regulations are also very strict. Even senior officers at the level of the corps commander must deal with these military regulations with extreme care. Once the military regulations are triggered, they will also be punished.
Like the trophies obtained by the Son of the Virgin of the Qing Suppression, for the Third Corps, it is far less valuable than the military merits. The money after the auction of the spoils can only be regarded as extra income. If this extra income affects the order of the Corps itself. , violated the military regulations, thus reducing the military merits, then for the people of the Corps, the gains outweighed the losses.
Therefore, almost all the Kingdom Corps have the same attitude towards loot. They should take action as soon as possible, settle the matter, divide the matter, and avoid getting into trouble. They will not go to such time-consuming and laborious things as appraising the value of jewelry. Yes, they will just randomly set a starting price for a batch of loot and sell it off.
It is precisely for this reason that every loot auction held by the Kingdom Legion is a feast for the merchants that can make them a lot of money. The office is dedicated to handling the auction of corps spoils.
However, in normal times, these chambers of commerce will also conduct some trade with the local chambers of commerce in Teresa Kingdom, which indirectly drives the business exchanges of the entire Teresa Kingdom.
Although, in the eyes of most people, this kind of business exchange due to the spoils of the corps is just some unintentional benefits, but in the eyes of Leo and Sylvia, it is obviously that the Kingdom of Teresa should be ignored at the beginning. Calculated.
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, the corps loot auction will cause the Kingdom of Teresa to lose a lot of wealth, but if you calculate it carefully, compared with the various benefits generated by a large number of business transactions with foreign chambers of commerce, these wealth appear to be insignificant. Worth mentioning.
This jewelry was finally auctioned by a foreign chamber of commerce at a price that was not particularly exaggerated. This is not because the jewelry could not be sold at a higher price, but because the rules of the Corps auction are cash transactions, and those who have insufficient cash are prepared. Even with a strong financial background, people who are still not able to become the final winner.
However, after the foreign chamber of commerce took the jewelry, some chambers of commerce have sent people to contact it, and they seem to want to buy one of these jewels at a high price. If the foreign chamber of commerce can successfully sell those specific values If you have the jewelry, you should be able to recover most of the auction gold paid, and the remaining jewelry is basically a guaranteed profit.
The follow-up auction items are all furs, grains and other miscellaneous items. Although the profit is far less than that of jewelry, it can also make a lot of money. After all kinds of miscellaneous items are sold, the second climax of the auction has come again. The content of an auction is somewhat special, it is human heads.
The cultists of the Son of the Virgin are almost all on the heretical lists of various churches, and the Church of the True God also has different rewards for them, and the rewards for the high priests of the Son of the Virgin are not only money, but also some special content, which is also a reward for them. Something special people value.
The Kingdom Corps does not have so much time and energy to go to different True God churches to deal with the bounties of these cultists, so they sell the heads of these cultists uniformly, and let the Chamber of Commerce go to True God Church to get the bounty. As for whether these heads are mixed with senior clerics After all, all the heads were purchased and stored in a unified manner. The Corps did not have the patience to clean them up one by one. Only a few heads with obvious extraordinary powers would be taken away by the Bureau of Investigation.
Different from the previous auction, this time not only the chambers of commerce of various countries participated in the auction, but even some organizations affiliated to the Church of the True God also participated in the auction. They believe in the best sacrifices of the gods. In the past, ordinary clerics had sacrificed the heads of these heretics and cultists in large numbers, and obtained the blessings of the gods, and they became senior clerics at the bishop level.
In the end, the heads of this group of cultists were bought by a large chamber of commerce from the Middle Kingdom region, but after the large chamber of commerce paid the auction gold, they handed over the heads of these cultists as gifts to the Holy Heart Church.
The Third Corps has no interest in knowing how the sold auction items are handled. They soon started the following auction items, and these auction items are the reason why many people participated in this auction, and also Delcanla The reason why they came to the auction with Leo.
Among the spoils of the cult stronghold of the Suppression of the Mother of God, there are a large number of items designed with extraordinary power, these are strange objects made by the power of the evil god, there are also some secret books designed to design evil rituals, and there are many banned books that are not circulated outside.
After the battle, the people from the Bureau of Investigation will pick out some of the items that are too evil in this kind of loot, and the rest will be put up for auction. They don't seem to worry about what someone will make of these things if they buy them. The chaos, and they may even hope that this chaos can happen in the kingdom, so that they can once again harvest a batch of the spoils of the cult stronghold.
These so-called sources of evil, Leo and Sylvia, don't look down on them, but these things are very good things for others, and sometimes these things can even sign up.
It's just that there are people from the Church of True God at the auction site. Even if those foreign chambers of commerce are interested in these things, no one dares to bid directly, so they have already hired a local person through the logistics department of the Corps. People bid to buy what they liked, and the Church of True God could not get the list of auctioneers from the Corps.
Delkan, who had been calm before, also became a lot more active at this time. He quoted many times and bought five evil items of the Son of the Virgin.
He told Leo and Sylvia that they did not buy these things to use them, but that the academy had a society specializing in the study of magical creatures, and they sold these things to them, and they could get some from them without too many side effects. , a strange thing that can be used normally.
After explaining, Delkan took out a strange object he exchanged before. This strange object looks ordinary on the surface. It is a metal nameplate engraved with complex patterns and patterns. Because it has been used, it contains extraordinary power. It has also disappeared, so it is very inconspicuous.
Leo didn't take the strange objects made by the secret society of the academy to heart at first, just because Delkan had already taken the things out and handed them over, so he took a look at them casually.
However, when he saw the patterns on the edge of the metal nameplate, which would be considered as decorations, a strange look appeared on his face, and he also focused a little. After reading the metal nameplate twice, he finally realized that Give it back to Delkan.
Sylvia also noticed Leo's strangeness and looked over inquiringly.
Leo didn't answer, he just made a gesture. After seeing the gesture, Sylvia also showed a surprised look.
This simple gesture is not ordinary, because it represents the wizard of the tower. This is a gesture that is only made when the wizards of the tower meet, and Sylvia also knows the meaning of this gesture.
The reason Leo made this gesture was because the inconspicuous metal nameplate that Delkan took out had traces of the tower wizards making magic items. The pattern on the edge of the nameplate was actually a secret phrase unique to the tower wizards. This secret language is an improvement of the Gamorei language, and it does not contain any power in itself, but is more like a marker of identity.
Leo had already deciphered the meaning of this secret phrase just now, and its meaning is very simple and clear, that is, the Tower of the Purple Crow.
There is not only one tower of the high tower wizard, almost every official wizard can build his own wizard tower, which will also be counted as the wizard tower, but the same as the official first, second and other fixed towers The names are different. The wizard towers built by the high tower wizards are all named by the wizards themselves. For example, the current Purple Crow Tower is the name of this wizard tower.
Although the meaning of the secret language has been deciphered, Leo does not know which tower wizard the Purple Crow Tower represents. In the information of the tower wizards in his database, no wizard will use Purple Crow as a mark. But what he can be sure of is that the wizard who left this secret language is definitely a wizard from the world of Velen, because there is no such creature as the purple crow in this world, and the purple crow is a specific bird in the world of Velen.
Accidentally discovered that Xuecheng has an inexplicable connection with the tower wizard, which made Leo even more looking forward to the trip to Xuecheng. He temporarily put this aside and returned his attention to the auction.
Soon all the evil things were sold out. Except for the three evil things that were photographed by the church, all the other things were bought privately.
The Church of the True God present did not have the financial resources to buy all the evil things, but if they bought all the evil things with a lot of money, then they could only be spectators in the next more important auction, and they knew very well that the corps would The evil and strange objects that are brought up for auction will definitely not be too harmful, even if they are bought by others, it does not matter.
The auction is now coming to an end, and this time the auction is a large number of books found from the stronghold of the Son of the Virgin.
The Sons of the Virgin declares that the Most High Virgin is the source of all the gods and gave birth to all the gods, so they will actively collect the books of other churches, and prove the correctness of their teachings by interpreting some of the content in the books of other churches.
It is precisely because of this spontaneous behavior of the Church of the Son of the Virgin that some banned and out-of-print books often appear in the books collected by the Church of the Son of the Virgin, and there are even some books left by the church that has perished. It doesn't make any sense, but it has a huge effect on some specific people or forces, not to mention that these books are very likely to contain some sacred objects of the Church of the True God and the Church of the Evil God that contain special power.
During the auction, Delkan also made several bids, but he was quickly defeated and became a spectator in frustration. Although he had some financial resources, compared to those big merchants and the Church of True God, Obviously not enough.
On the contrary, Leo and Sylvia each paid several prices and bought some banned and out-of-print books that they liked, and these books they bought all concealed extraordinary power, and some of them even more The power of the abyss is hidden.
In addition, Leo also scanned the books that were not bought through the spiritual network during the auction process, and completely copied the internal and external structure details of those books in the database, and then sorted them into material.
After he scanned more than a dozen banned books, he was suddenly attracted by a book called the Hammer of Justice that was being auctioned. As the name suggests, this book should have been written by the early inquisition chamber of the Justice Church. Books used to identify heresy.
This book can be said to be the scandal that the Righteous Church most wants to erase, because the method of identifying heresy introduced in this book is so absurd and crazy now, but this book was written in the time when the church was the most In the crazy era, the only difference between the Church of the True God and the Church of the Evil God in that era was the name. Therefore, after the Church of Justice took the initiative to collect and destroy this book, the Hammer of Justice is now almost out of print.
However, the reason why UU Reading www.uukanshu.com attracted Leo's attention was not the absurd content of the Hammer of Justice, but the book structure model he constructed in his mind after scanning through the mental network, and it turned out to be the same as he did a few days ago. The other scanned book, the Kama Sutra, was the same as that of the Church of the Delighted, and that book was in the hands of a caravan steward who was following the school city team.
Two books with the same thickness but completely different content and production materials appeared in his database with the exact same structural model after being scanned by the mental network. This is obviously very abnormal, which also made Leo think. The cult of the Son of the Virgin who tried to attack the Citadel team a few days ago.
Thinking of this, he tried to open the structure module of this book in the mental network. According to the normal situation, after opening the structure module, he can read the content of this book like an ordinary book, because The spirit net is all the structural details inside the entire replica book, including material, paper texture, and scratches.
But now, he found that the pages he opened were all blank and nothing was written.
After discovering this anomaly, Leo didn't think much, raised his hand and shouted, "Five hundred gold seven leaves."
