"Sneak into the inner wall?" Everyone was shocked as they looked at each other.
The high wall of the inner wall had been isolated from the outer wall for more than two hundred years. Countless nobles wanted to climb over the wall but were blocked. But Dean had a way to sneak into the inner wall? This was something that nobles didn't even dare to think about!
Dean didn't elaborate but looked at Kroen: "Give me a pen and paper."
Kroen handed over the pen and paper.
Dudian quickly wrote on the table. After a moment, a large number of words appeared on the snow-white paper. He waved to Nicholas: "Go and collect some plants. Hire some fields to cultivate them. Remember to do it secretly. Don't leak any information. Otherwise, even if I don't want your life, the magistrate and the Holy Church won't spare you!"
Nicholas took the paper, but his fingers trembled as he heard Dudian's words: "Young, young master, what kind of plants are these?"
"Ordinary plants." Dean indifferently said: "But they will become unusual in the future."
Nicotine was startled as he looked down. He saw familiar names of the plants: "Mulberry leaf? Isn't this ordinary weed? Why are you planting it? "
"These are treasures." Dean inserted the quill into the pen holder: "You are fully responsible for this matter. Hire your own people and take care of the relationship. You will take the main responsibility if there are any problems. I will ask Neuss to assist you in managing the plants. I don't need to teach you how to manage the people and the industry."
Weeds are treasures? Nicotine was at a loss. But he realized that there was a lot of knowledge in it as he looked at Dean's serious expression. He knew that Dean had arranged Neuss to assist him in order to monitor him. Dean trusted Neuss more than Nicotine. It showed that the task Neuss was responsible for wasn't as simple as planting plants. It was estimated to be an extremely dangerous task.
Dean told Nicotine to go to the study room to discuss the details. The task he gave to Nicotine was the most important part of his plan! Mulberry leaf was the name of this world. But in the old era it had a resounding name: Marijuana!
That's right, it was marijuana!
In his plan, he wanted the people of the outer wall to help him attack the inner wall. But he didn't have enough power to incite them. As for money? Wealth could make people crazy but he didn't have the wealth to buy the entire outer wall. After all, the forces that had been around for decades were intricate and complex. They were bound to encounter a lot of obstacles if they wanted to rise suddenly.
However, drugs were different. They were as scary as a virus!
Moreover, the speed at which poison spreads and ferments are extremely shocking. It can cover an extremely wide area in an extremely short period of time!
Most importantly, the people enslaved by drugs were far more reliable and crazy than wealth, power, faith, and so on! Any drug addict would be unable to resist the temptation of addiction!
And this was worth giving up everything, including their families and even their own lives!
Dean was glad that the previous disaster had destroyed the city and the biosphere. But almost all the harmless plants had been preserved. Although some plants had changed due to radiation, viruses and other unknown factors. They had turned into demonic plants and were more threatening than monsters. But most of the plants had retained their original appearance.
The Mulberry Leaf was only one of the ingredients he had provided. There were other addictive plant ingredients that were no less harmful than the Mulberry Leaf!
"Sergei, you are responsible for teaching Gabriel and Artemis. Macon and Zach are also responsible for fighting." Dean continued: "At the same time, recruit talents and set up a mercenary knight regiment. I will officially incorporate you as my squire. As a squire of a golden knight, you have the legal right to recruit your own squire and set up a knight regiment."
Knight group was an exclusive combat team that was conferred by the Knight's Hall. The number of people in the group was determined according to the knight's rank. Mercenary group was similar to the adventurer team in slums and residential areas. But adventurer team was regarded as a civilian group. Their spirit of contract was low and they were not legal. Mercenary group was different. They belonged to a formal team. The contract signed would be recorded in the magistrate's files.
"Retinue?" Sergei didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly. As a retainer of a golden knight, his status was naturally much higher than a hunter. Even though he was a senior hunter, but in the end he was still a shady existence. He was limited by the consortium so he could only enjoy a small part of the privileges of the consortium. But a retainer of a golden knight was different. Especially a retainer of a golden knight. In the eyes of the nobles, once promoted by their own knight, they would quickly turn from a retainer to a regular knight!
Glenn enviously looked at Sergei: "Master, can I also be your retinue?"
Dean looked at her and nodded: "No problem." He would let her go to the inner wall to pass the message to him. She would have the identity of a retainer as a cover.
Sergei calmed down as he saw Dean agree with Glenn so easily. He asked: "Master, is the mercenary knights set up to support you? What is the name of the knight group? How many talents should we recruit? "
"You are responsible for this." Gwyneth and Glenn will join the group. You will be the captain for the time being and assist Sergei. But your main responsibility is to pass the news that I'm in the inner wall. If Sergei wants to act arbitrarily then I'll give you a letter and you have the right to cancel his order. "Dudian continued:" Although the mercenary knights are under my banner, but from now on you will be the deputy head. Gwyneth and Glenn will join the group.
Glenn was stunned for a moment, then happily said, "Yes."
Sergei said with a bitter face: "Young Master, with you here, how can I dare to act arbitrarily? You think too highly of me."
"You have to guard against people's ambitions." Dean indifferently said.
Sergei's mouth twitched as he shook his head.
Dean waved to Gabriel and Artemis. Both of them came to him. Gabriel looked at Dean nervously. There was a trace of fear in his eyes. Although the boy had learned to hide his thoughts but under Dean's experienced eyes, he was still able to see through it.
He stroked Artemis's little head and said to Gabriel: "Do you know why I brought you back?"
Gabriel was startled: "I don't know."
"Because you are orphans." Dudian slowly said: "If you had stayed in that town then you would have become food in the belly of barbarians or even a pile of feces."
Gabriel's face turned pale as he clenched his fists. He had been learning how to read and write in the castle. He had asked Kroen and the others about the situation outside the golden wall. He knew that Dean wasn't lying.
Because of this, he was able to endure Dean's harsh requirements for him to practice swordsmanship because he was grateful.
However, he felt a bit of fear every time he saw the boy who brought him back. It was as if he was facing a natural enemy.
"I asked Sergei to teach you how to practice swordsmanship and read books. You have to study hard." Dean patted Gabriel's shoulder: "Although I saved you once, but if you follow me in the future it will be more dangerous. If you don't work hard and aren't strong enough then you will repeat the same mistakes again. No one can save you and you can't save your sister. Do you understand?"
Gabriel bit her lips and said, "Young Master, I know."
