Right, that's correct, Ji Jue straightforwardly recruited this group of Returning Knights from the Lou Family. Anyway, these tools don't mind doing so odd jobs during the gaps of their long-term contracts to earn so quick cash.
Moreover, they have already dealt with each other countless tis in various senses, and now they cooperate quite skillfully.
The only difference from before is that this bunch of Great Group knights ca almost empty-handed, bringing nothing but firearms and ammunition.
Only pairs of eyes full of anticipation and desire looked at Ji Jue, hoping for another free ride.
On their fawning smiles, they almost had the words 'Dad, give us so sniper rifles!' written on them.
There's no helping it, Ji Jue is just too alluring.
Whoever uses him knows, and being used is the sa...
Apart from this, if there's any other change, it would be their armor.
Unlike the hodgepodge of whatever they could gather before, this ti, everyone who ca is wearing full armor. The gray-black iron armor on their chests is covered with bloodstains and dark red, which have soaked into the tal, unable to be wiped away. It looks like it has endured years and generations of use.
In the Returning Ho Knight Order, the saying "the son inherits the father's place" is no falsehood. This set of armor might have been passed down from the ancestors to the descendants, and can be considered a holy object. Even when earning foreign exchange, without permission, it is not allowed to be brought out.
Moreover, on the chest of every armor is a bizarre emblem—a totem radiating towards the four directions like raindrops, but if you look closely, it resembles so kind of fungus, silently sprawling...
Symbol of the Fungus Group!
Only those bound with the Sacrificial Master of the Fungus Group have the qualifications to receive such armor and to receive the blessing from the Fungus Lord during the Knight Captain's inheritance burnt offering.
Like fungus the flas of war spread continually, wherever blood falls, the fungus of death and struggle buds!
The so-called "Fungus Group" refers to the most prominent few among countless Great Group Sacrificial Masters. Unlike the "Shrike" who loves human slaughter, it inclines more towards blessing and bestowing favors on groups.
Although they thought of and planned to get sothing for nothing, now that Slan has brought out such equipnt, he's practically emptied his house to give Ji Jue a boost.
At this mont, seeing Slan co over, Ji Jue also proactively stepped forward and shook hands: "You're here early, much appreciated."
However, unexpectedly, beside Slan was a slightly aged middle-aged man, neither armored nor ard, thin and hunched, dressed in traditional Central Earth attire, gaudy.
Now, after Slan, he also stepped forward, reaching out his hand: "Mr. Ji Jue, a pleasure to et you for the first ti."
Ji Jue hesitated for a mont, shook hands, and curiously asked:
"Who is this?"
Slan imdiately lowered his head, respectfully wanting to speak, but the middle-aged man opened his mouth, interrupted him, and replied first: "Accountant! I am the accountant of the knight group, responsible for auditing accounts and transactions. This ti, I am here because the contract amount is a bit large, specially sent to liaise with Mr. Ji Jue."
Ah, right, right, accountant, accountant!
Slan imdiately nodded in agreent without any hesitation.
Accountant?
Ji Jue looked at the newcor skeptically but didn't ask much more.
You say you're an accountant, then you're an accountant.
The affairs of the Returning Ho Knight Order, Ji Jue can't manage. As long as they can pick up the blades at critical monts and fight, whether they have an accountant or heat weapons with the army, he doesn't care.
After a long journey, Ji Jue first took them to the prepared encampnt, then treated everyone to a al in Coastal Industry's cafeteria, before taking Slan and... the accountant to his office.
Then, the accountant nonchalantly sat down on the only chair opposite the office desk.
Slan stood behind.
As if it were natural.
"If there's any offense, please forgive us."
The accountant got straight to the point: "Regarding the contract content, we actually have a bit of a different idea..."
"Hmm?"
Ji Jue glanced at Slan, then looked at the accountant, entering work mode: "Sure, if you have any opinions, it's better to say them early than have disagreents later and create unpleasantness."
"Please do speak candidly."
"..."
The accountant, seeing his forthrightness, seed a bit surprised, hesitated for a mont, then sighed, taking off his headscarf, revealing dry, sparse hair.
"To be honest, regarding the employnt price, we hope to have room for an increase."
"Understandable."
Ji Jue nodded without hesitation: "How much do you think would be a suitable increase?"
Although there was so disappointnt and frustration inside, there was no need to show it on his face. Buying high and selling low is normal comrcial operation; they're risking their lives, confronting life and death, it's reasonable to want a price increase when eting trouble.
It's just that the price was already agreed upon before, and now reaching Xinquan, the contract is about to be signed, yet asking again... It feels a bit like not knowing what's important, ungrateful.
"You may have misunderstood."
The accountant smiled gently: "To avoid misunderstanding, please let explain our thoughts in one go — Regarding the price, we'd like to increase by one-fifth, no, wait, as for the settlent thod, we don't intend to use gold and precious tals, nor is Federal Coin necessary.
We'd rather settle directly with your products."
Upon these words, Ji Jue fell silent.
He looked at Slan with puzzled eyes.
