Chapter 399 398.The Day Fort Riptide was Established-[Monthly Votes Plus 510
Tepal considered himself a man who had seen the world.
Although his family history is not as exaggerated as that of Little Brother Fu, Old Huo, and Little Reed’s name and Mrs. Shui, it’s not hard to conclude that Mr. Tepal is actually a successful person with “a small amount of family money” when compared to the overall standard.
Moreover, he is most proud of the fact that he has achieved wealth freedom by his own hands and wisdom, and has realized the first step of financial freedom at a young age, all of which has not been left in the hands of others.
In short, he was a person who was very confident in all aspects, but even so, when he saw the quest that Uncle Fudin shared with him, the Honorable Knight, who had always adhered to the spirit of RP, couldn’t help but break the rules and exclaimed “Crap” in his heart!
Is this development team so thoughtful?
Knowing that this Riptide Knights is currently just an empty shelf, they simply pulled a Knight Maiden from the background who is not small in origin and has a noble and chiefly temperament to join them, as a way to help them quickly build up the shelf that a Knight Order should have.
Moreover, the hint at the end of the quest had already hinted to the two chiefs that the various supplies needed by the Riptide Knights could be obtained from the family of the Miss Bikki in front of them.
Coupled with Miss Biki’s unique birth, she was the youngest granddaughter of His Excellency Kudel, the Hunting Baron!
You see, you see, all of these key elements are complete.
Who would believe that this isn’t a “surprise” prepared by the development team?
“The Knights of the Riptide welcome all those who wish to defend justice, help the weak and guard the light! We welcome you, Ms. Becky.”
Uncle Fording took a deep breath as he exclaimed with the aura and posture expected of a “professional RP party”:
“You can become one of us whenever you want.”
“Wait!”
Tepal immediately spoke out to stop Uncle Ferdin’s attempt to drag Miss Biki into the Knights, holding the hilt of his sword at his waist, he very seriously explained to the blinking Miss Biki:
“I’m not against this wise decision, I just think you should at least get to know us before joining us. We, the Knights of the Riptide, have come in response to the world’s call, and although we are currently only outnumbered by two vanguard regiments, subsequent support is already on the way.
We will eventually build our own city in the great land of Transylvania.
Personally, I would welcome you to join us, however, Miss Becky, you must understand that we are a faith-based organization and not an ordinary military force.
The faith known as the Holy Light does not exist in this world, and we are unable to use its purifying and healing powers here, but that does not diminish the faith that we, the faithful knights, defend.
What I want to tell you is that if you already have your own beliefs in this continent, then joining us recklessly is not the right choice.
Because our holy light moral righteousness is incompatible with the overly personalized deities on this land”
“Oh, then you need not worry.”
Becky shrugged her shoulders, playing with her riding crop, and said:
“I come from the Kingdom of Goldfinch, and while I was studying in the Genoese Peninsula my country had already eradicated its own state religion with its own hands, and we are all faithless people. At the very least, to the witch hunters, we are a bunch of unbelievers.
As for myself.
I’ve actually never been very interested in such things as faith since I was a child, perhaps because the teachings of the old religion seemed too weak and idealized to me, and filled with an air of clichéd didacticism that wasn’t quite to my liking?”
“Miss! Make sure you don’t discuss faith in such a casual manner!”
Ms. Livin, who was next to her, warned instantly:
“Especially since we are now in the land of Avalon’s watchful eye, you may not believe in it, but you must not show such obvious disdain much less speak ill of it, it could get you and the family into trouble.”
“Okay, okay, I get it.”
Miss Becky spat out her tongue, then coughed and said with a straight face to Uncle Fording and Tepal in front of her:
“So, what you guys are saying is that in order to join you guys you have to believe in the Holy Light first?”
“No, the Order does not mandate its members to believe in the Holy Light, but you must at least have some understanding of our otherworldly beliefs.”
Tepal gave Uncle Fodin a wink, and Uncle Fodin blinked, then spoke up as well:
“We have come across the intervening worlds and do not carry the canon of the Holy Light on hand.
But please don’t worry, our loyal followers are already copying those scriptures and doctrines and the legendary stories of the Holy Light in the other world, and as soon as the first draft is completed, we will hand it over to you to read.
However, we cannot allow you to join our Order until you have made a final decision, please understand that we have our own rules and regulations and our own style of doing things.”
“Ah, I can certainly understand that.”
Biki-chan didn’t get angry as she waved her hand and said:
“I also didn’t think that I would be able to smoothly join in some organization with a specific plan of action all at once, but I’m curious, you guys call yourselves the defenders of the Holy Light, so the combat power should be very strong, right?
Why is it that the knights I saw in the camp were weak one by one, even my escorting soldiers could boast them on a power level.”
“Ahem, this is still caused by the otherworldly shuttle that caused us to lose most of our power.”
Tepal blurted out:
“Even the great lords who could fight one against a hundred in the other world would be stripped of the boon power belonging to the holy light after responding to the call to enter the new world.
But that’s nothing for us.
We will face the challenges here head on to get strong fast and eventually get our power back, and spread the virtues of the Holy Light here.”
“So that’s it?”
Miss Becky nodded, seemingly accepting the statement, she then poked her face in realization and said:
“No wonder you guys are growing so fast! I heard from grandpa that you guys generally manage to break through the Black Iron Trial within a month, and such a massive promotion is nothing short of a miracle.”
“Well, yes, that’s the reason, the rules of the world are ultimately different from the world, although we have lost our power, the talent belonging to the strong still exists.”
Uncle Fudin hurriedly gave himself a “patch”, then he coughed and said:
“However, Miss Becky, you come from the famous Xavier family which makes us have an ungrateful request, as you can see, at present, the Knights have just rebuilt in Transylvania, and Lord Murphy’s favor has granted us a territory to be developed stronghold, and we are very confident that we can build up Fort Riptide.
However, supplies for the Knights are still in short supply.
The Cadmanian People’s Army has come to our aid, however the weapons and armor they use do not conform to the Proverbs of the Holy Light, and we are in dire need of true knightly equipment to rearm us.
Therefore, if possible, we would like to use your connections to urgently procure a batch of equipment from House Xavier, including combat plate armor, knight’s harnesses, and war hammers and giant swords that are in line with our beliefs.”
“We will pay the market price.”
Tepal added:
“The teachings of Holy Light do not allow us to take advantage of our fellow travelers, so please rest assured that this transaction is just asking you to be a go-between and nothing more.”
“Hey, you guys think too much.”
Although Bikki was pugnacious but she wasn’t stupid.
She quickly understood the meaning of Tepal’s words, this knight who was a head taller than her was afraid of thinking too much, it seemed like they really cared about their decency and honor.
“My father has been seeking for the family’s industry to open up sales in more ways, he would only feel happy to receive an order from Transylvania for an additional partner, he wouldn’t think otherwise.
So how many kits do you need?”
Knight Ji of the Xavier family asked:
“And what styles and sizes do you want?
The armor produced by our family is divided into several grades, the price difference between the lowest grade ‘Cavalry’ and the highest grade ‘General’ is ten times, this armor I’m wearing is from the ‘General’ series, it’s the The armor I’m wearing is the ‘General’ series, a high-level plate armor produced after the family introduced the water forging machine from the Carpe workshop.
We can also enchant your armor if needed, plus each set of General’s Plate Armor will come with a set of weapons of the same quality.”
“Umm, the light of wealth emanating from this luxurious plate armor on your body is enough to blind us poor knights, I don’t even dare to boldly ask for a quote lest it irritate my poor wallet and cause my heart to stop beating due to too much shock.”
Tepal said with a feigned sigh:
“As you can see, the Order is currently in a state of disarray, so we can only order the lowest level of plate armor and rigging, and we need 150 sets and matching war hammers for the first batch.
However, we have requirements for the style of the armor and the style of the weapons, they must strictly adhere to the armor style of the Knights of the Silver Hand and inscribe the sacred motto on the armor and weapons.” “This is an extra charge.”
The Raven Knight next to her was worthy of being the blonde Knight Hime’s great steward, and this time, she had already taken out her own notebook and started to record the customer’s requirements.
This black-haired, black-pupiled female knight said seriously:
“With your current number of people, I think 150 sets is a bit much.
100 sets is more appropriate, Xavier family’s plate armor is known throughout the human world for its reliability and durability, as long as there are qualified blacksmiths to do the maintenance and repair, they can be guaranteed to be used until after the end of the Black Plague.”
“No, at least 150 sets.”
Uncle Fording shook his head:
“Archduke Tris has made a psychic prediction that the Otherworldly Summoning Gate will be very solid in the next few months, and we’ll have elite backup constantly arriving in Transylvania.
150 sets is just a conservative number”
“Then 300 sets!”
Knight Raven suggested with a big wave of her hand:
“With 300 sets, you’ll be able to take advantage of the Xavier family’s merchandise discounts, and with the face of Elder Dowager Kudel and Miss Becky, the family workshop will probably give you a 20% discount.
It will only cost almost 40,000 gold coins, and if you also want to purchase harnesses, 60,000 gold coins will be enough to take care of it.”
“Sixty thousand?”
Uncle Ferdin and Tepal looked at each other.
This number was really scary.
Currently, the Knights of the Riptide had less than 5,000 dollars on its books, and this was the liquidity that had been saved up by everyone’s participation in the “Transylvanian Census”.
However, the two are not worried about this, and after reaching a verbal agreement with Ms. Becky and Ms. Livin, Uncle Fudin left Tepal in the tent to tell the curious Ms. Becky the “story” of the Holy Light and the Knights of the Silver Hand, and then he himself quickly left the tent and used the Computing Pearls to contact the “lenders” of the current players. “Lenders”.
“What? Sixty thousand gold coins? That much! I don’t have it either.”
Little Reed Name’s shocked voice rang out from the other side of the Operational Treasure Pearl as she said in a depressed voice:
“Lady Water and Orchid Flower have diverted a large portion of the team’s funds to purchase supplies, I currently only have over ten thousand gold coins left in my hand, and it’s too late to collect them for you on the forums.
Why don’t you go ask the others?”
“But there’s no one else with as much money as you guys.”
Uncle Fudin said, a bit anxious:
“I’ve signed a contract with someone else, I have to pay the deposit, we are representing the face of the Great Lord of Holy Light here.
If we make a scandal about the debt, I’m afraid I’ll be purified.”
“Who says others don’t have money?”
Little Reed Name would say sourly:
“Hidden Treasure Bay that casino has recently made money but made a lot of money, this old Huo really fucking talent, you go to him, he there is certainly enough liquidity, just do not know if he is willing to lend you.”
“Hidden Treasure Bay?”
Uncle Fudin suddenly remembered that when Tepal came over just now the thing he wanted to talk to him about was related to the proposal of the village head of Hidden Treasure Bay, and said that it was about the topic of politics among the players.
This caused Uncle Fording’s heart to jolt.
Holy shit!
This is really what you want, no matter what Old Huo wants to do there at the five collective farms, as long as he is willing to lend the Knights of the Riptide a sum of money to get through this difficult time at the moment, his own group of people are definitely all in favor of it.
Anyway, the basic disk of the Knights of the Riptide are in the Riptide Fort, the novice village side is only Tepal’s “private fiefdom”.
But this will need to discuss with Tepal.
Uncle Fudin thought so, close to the tent when he heard Tepal is in the middle of the colorful to tell Ms. Biqi “Stensom and the great filial son” story.
He stole a glance at Miss Becky, who was listening attentively.
Well, a little too seriously, like a child who likes to listen to bedtime stories, the face of the gleeful expression really can not be described.
The girl was really good at everything, it was just that Pyo Hoo Hoo-
Three days later, in the camp of the Riptide Knights, one of the family knights of the Xavier family received the high-level psychic energy pack handed to him by Uncle Ferdin.
It contained a deposit of 30,000 gold coins, on which a unique psychic energy spell had been personally applied by Lady Tris using Kudel’s blood.
Only the direct bloodline of the Xavier family could open it.
The handing over of this deposit also confirmed that the Knights of the Riptide would truly have an arm that belonged to them, and thus could be independent from the embarrassing situation of being subordinate to the Kardman People’s Army.
Meanwhile, in the open space at the very front of the large camp, Honorary Knight Tepal and his own brothers very seriously inserted a wooden plaque symbolizing the faith of the Knights of the Riptide and the Church of the Holy Light into the ground.
This represented the official establishment of their stronghold from today!
Although it was currently a camp filled with tents, the Stonemasonry Brotherhood had already accepted the order, and in at most half a month, a village named “Fort Riptide” would appear on this land.
“It’s not easy.”
Tepal turned around and said to Arcane Master Marlene behind him:
“Finally, we can have our own home in Transylvania.”
“Uh, I’m not as emotional as you are.”
Marlene spat:
“I just think it’s a stronghold city that’s about to be built up by our own hands, and it’s going to take a long, long time for it to become the Fort Riptide we remember.
I honestly don’t have any confidence at all in whether or not we’ll be able to get this city built before the game is released.
But I don’t care about that right now either .”
He looked around and went up with a very gossipy expression and whispered to Tepal:
“What’s the origin of that blonde knight that’s been following you these past few days? Why do I always see her staying in your office and tent?
Is that the cyber-wife you found for yourself?
Shit!
That’s awesome, that’s perfect modeling, you know that?”
“Don’t be ridiculous!”
Tepal shook his head and said in a serious manner:
“Ms. Becky is just interested in the teachings of the Holy Light and the tales of the Lamentations of the Knights of the Silver Hand, and has been trying to hear more about the legends and lore of the Knights of the Holy Light from me.
I am organizing these stories hoping to make a booklet out of them, and to make it easier to spread this faith from the Otherworld to more locals in the future.”
“What faith, that’s one of our slogans.”
Marlene bristled:
“Just lie to others, don’t lie to yourself, brother, there is one of us, we don’t have any faith to speak of. In the eyes of those extremist witch hunters, we all belong to those who should be tied to the stake.
Besides, you believe in the Holy Light over there because it really does give you power, and now that we’re in Transylvania, it doesn’t matter.
Since it can’t grant us power, it’s just a slogan.”
“I used to feel the same way.”
Tepal was silent for a moment as he looked at the hidden quest on the character screen that said “Guide Miss Bikki to the Holy Light Faith”, and he said in a low voice:
“But at some point in the past, I suddenly realized that this matter might not be as simple as we thought. I think there will be a surprise if we dig deeper into this area, and it will be a surprise that the development team wants to lead us to accomplish personally!
Well, let’s wait and see.”
