Although he knew it was difficult, Crick had to solve the problem in front of him, whether it was out of morality for Crick Keane or for his own safety.
In his opinion, the safest solution was probably just like what his friend, Spencer, had said, for the whole family to go to the Void Mask amusement park. But in that case, it was tantamount to giving away the foundation of the Keane family for generations. He believed that if Crick Keane knew this in the afterlife, he would definitely be so angry that he would come back to life.
Moreover, this was also very unpleasant!
So this plan could only be used when he was at his wit's end. At least for now, he would not consider it!
Another safer solution was to change his faith and join the Church of the God of Aristocracy. Although everyone was a little unhappy in the past, as long as he sincerely bowed his head and surrendered honestly, presumably the Church of the God of Aristocracy would not care too much about a baron. Although it was inevitable that he would have to bow his head, it was actually not a big deal. Who didn't live with a lowered head? If he always raised his head and stuck out his chest, he might fall into the gutter.
However, this plan was no longer a problem of being unhappy. It was a problem of being angry to death!
Crick knew that he was not a Nordic brain-dead philanthropist who could still shout about boundless love after being attacked by terrorists. He could not do things like "Don't fight against evil people. If someone slaps your right face, turn your left face and let him slap you". If someone wanted to kill him, it was already bad enough that he did not fight back. How could he surrender and beg for mercy?
Damn it! I'm a transmigrator, not to challenge the lower limit of being a dog!
This plan, rejected!
After rejecting the two safest solutions, the remaining plans all had huge hidden dangers. The biggest problem of Baron Keane's territory was the lack of high-end martial power. The most powerful master in the entire territory, James, was only at the eighth level, and his attributes were slightly bad. Compared with the knights of the Church of the God of Knights, his strength was only slightly stronger than the little attendant under Spencer. Anyway, he looked all the way in the knights and did not see any official knight who was weaker than James …
The great leader had said that political power came from the barrel of a gun. The "barrel of a gun" of Baron Keane's territory was a little weak. It was impossible to fight against the Church of the God of Aristocracy!
"Maybe … I should recruit one or two masters?"
He put down the file in his hand, took a sip of the wheat tea, and fell into deep thought.
A few days later, Baron Keane put up a recruitment notice.
[Due to the lack of talents in this territory, we plan to recruit some experts with high martial arts skills. After a period of assessment, those with outstanding performance will be granted a fief and knighthood.]
After this notice was posted, many adventurers were quickly recruited. These adventurers were generally older, and they were tired of killing and adventures. They wanted to settle down. Although everyone knew that the situation in Baron Keane's territory wasn't very good, they could always just run away …
Loyalty 20, Loyalty 25, Loyalty 18, Loyalty 33 … Crick looked at the group of adventurers who were summoned one by one. Although he still had a smile on his face, he was already sighing deeply in his heart.
Putting aside their strength, these fellows' loyalty was too low!
Who would dare to use a guy whose loyalty was less than 50! He did not want to promote a group of ingrates!
After looking at them one by one, he finally sighed deeply and had Butler Layton record down the names of these people. After the recruitment was over, they would discuss it together.
"Sir, these people are not bad!" Knight James said happily during the internal meeting of Baron Keane's territory. "Some of them are even stronger than me. They can be of great use!"
Crick rolled his eyes. He really wanted to say, "Brother, it's hard for me to communicate with you."
Butler Layton was much more mature, and he said hesitantly, "Sir, I feel that these people don't seem very loyal …"
Crick nodded repeatedly, feeling that Butler Layton's judgment wasn't that bad.
"Adventurers are used to deceiving each other. It's not realistic to expect them to be loyal." Seeing that the baron supported his opinion, Butler Layton was instantly energized. He continued, "Don't you have a good relationship with Vice Captain Smith of the Church of Knights of the Pioneers (God of Knights and Pioneers)? Why don't you discuss with him and recruit two people from their order?"
Crick was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, he felt as if he had been enlightened.
"Damn! Why didn't I think of that! "
That afternoon, he left in a hurry and went to the Church of the God of Knights.
Spencer Smith didn't mind sending people to his friends. But if he wanted to recruit long-term, he was a little hesitant. Although the knights of the Church of the God of Knights weren't weak, the enemies they faced were also strong. After all, the Church of the God of Aristocracy's main target of strife and exclusion had always been the Church of the God of Knights!
However, in the face of the imminent crisis, Crick gave it his all and performed all kinds of tragic scenes that he had seen in TV, movies, and anime. Although his acting skills could only be given six points at most, in the end, he still moved Spencer.
"Alright, I can help you choose two people," Spencer sighed. Spencer sighed and said, "But let me say this first, they can only protect you, and can't help you deal with government affairs."
"It's good enough that they can protect me!"
Half an hour later, Crick looked at the two knights who were about forty years old, speechless.
To be honest, these two knights weren't weak. One had a total level of twelve, and the other had a total level of thirteen. Compared to James, they were much higher.
However, the intelligence of these two knights was really a little low.
One was a seven, and the other was an eight.
These two f * cking fools!
Probably because the frustration on his face was too obvious, Spencer was a little embarrassed. He laughed dryly and said, "I think you should still focus on recruiting people. If you can't recruit suitable people in Storm County, why not go to the Void Mask Amusement Park? It's the most convenient place for transportation on the whole continent. There are portals connecting the capitals of various countries and many big cities. Many adventurers like to spend their leisure time there. If you go there to recruit, you should be able to find a very powerful master … "
Crick nodded again and again. Without delay, he went home and gave some necessary instructions. Then, accompanied by two bodyguards, he went straight to the capital of the Duchy of Thunder, and then arrived at the Void Mask Amusement Park through the portal.
"It's really not easy for him …" The emerald jellyfish was invisible and floating in the air, watching his incarnation running hard. He couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.
"If this goes on, he will never settle down, and he won't be able to experience the life of a noble …"
After thinking about it for a while, he finally made up his mind and gave Crick a little help.
That night, Crick, who had been running around all day but still hadn't been able to find suitable subordinates, sat exhausted in the leisure center run by the Church of the God of Joy, like a dead body. He let the warm and clean hot water flow on his body, and didn't want to do anything.
"Recruiting people, it's so difficult!" he muttered to himself, covering his face with a slightly wet towel.
"The key is that you don't have money, right?" A somewhat frivolous voice came from beside him. "If you have money, it's quite easy to recruit people."
Crick didn't even bother to lift the towel. He replied with a bitter smile, "Yes, I don't have money! I'm just a baron. My territory isn't big, and my income isn't high. Although I may be able to make a lot of money in the long run. But I need money now! "
"Then why not try your luck?" the man said. "There's a kind of roulette machine in the casino, and it only costs one gold coin at a time. If you can get three sevens, you can win a lot of money! "
"I don't have such good luck!"
"There's no loss in trying. For a baron, one gold coin is nothing." The man stood up with a smile and walked away.
Crick thought for a while and accepted this suggestion.
An hour later, he was taken to the service desk. Looking at the rather amazing amount of money on the exchange card, his face was full of bewilderment.
What the f * ck! He actually won a large sum of money with just one gold coin?! This was like a dream!
"Am I possessed by the God of Fortune?"
Hugh von Stolovsky Franz, or Hugh for short, the man who had given Crick the advice before, stood in the shadow not far away. He watched this scene and shrugged his shoulders with a smile.
"What God of Fortune? This is the grace of His Majesty the Void Mask," Sui Xiong said and patted his shoulder with a smile.
Sui Xiong patted him on the shoulder with a smile. "Well done. You used the bewitching spell just right!"
After saying this, he smiled and looked at Crick.
"I've given you the money. Keep working hard! "
