"Hmm? General Valen, isn't this... the holy rat of the Seventeen-winding Mountain? Did you conquer the Seventeen-winding Mountain? Subjugated it?"

At the gate of Barbara City, a city gate general looked at the Iron Saint and his party in shock...

After all, it was the capital of a country. Even if he was just the city gate general of the West Gate, he had a seventh-level strength, so he was well-informed and recognized the holy rat led by the Iron Guard!

At this time, the West Gate General Qi Erling's admiration for the Iron Saint Valen was like a surging river - when he just left the West Gate with the Iron Guard, didn't he say that he was going to pick up a fellow disciple? He actually "on the way" conquered the Seventeen-winding Mountain?

"I bought this! Fifty million triangle coins, do you want me to transfer it to you? Forty million?" Valen glared at him and said.

"This... cough cough, this general can't control it." Qi Erling didn't know where he touched the landmine, and awkwardly dodged to the side, pretending to be on duty seriously.

Triangle currency is a credible currency jointly issued by the three major human countries and honored by the Earth Dwarfs. Including this Southwest Auction, most international transactions are in triangle currency, and the exchange rate with Barbara's Barbara currency is about 1:10.

"Is 50 million triangle currency a lot? How much is the annual salary of this general?" Guan Liyuan asked curiously.

Because Valen said that an ordinary holy mount is about 50 million triangle currency, Guan Liyuan is not afraid that he will fool him, but Guan Liyuan is not very clear about the concept of 50 million triangle currency. I

only know that Heywood said that treasures, alien species, etc., "can easily cost hundreds of millions" and "the highest transaction volume has sometimes been tens of billions." When

Qi Erling saw this young man asking about his income so blatantly, he couldn't help but feel a headache - I didn't even tell you when I was on a blind date!

But seeing Valen's indulgent attitude, he thought he was Valen's relative, so he accompanied him and said carefully: "Not much, not much, mainly serving the kingdom, less than 1 million Ba coins a year, if converted into triangle coins... less than 100,000."

For an ordinary seventh-level warrior like Qi Erling, if he joins the army, without any great merits, no special abilities, and not during the war, the annual salary is only 300,000 to 500,000 Ba coins, which is only tens of thousands of triangle coins. The treatment of the royal guards is better, which is twice as high as that of ordinary people of the same level... Qi Erling will need 500 years without food and drink to afford the holy realm monster.

And although food and accommodation are provided... but normal cultivation cannot be free of expenses. If you strive to improve your personal cultivation and just do idle work in your position, it is very likely that a seventh-level warrior will spend all his money!

In comparison, there are still some magicians and alchemists with special skills, high investment, high return, or like Garcia, who lead their own mercenary group, high risk, high return...

"How many caravans can enter the West Gate every month?" Guan Liyuan asked casually.

"Most of them are small merchants who don't have to pay the city tax. They can be considered caravans... There are more than ten caravans a month in the off-season, and more than 30 caravans a month in the peak season..." Qi Erling straightened his chest to show that he was proficient in business, but unfortunately Valen didn't see much.

"On average, each caravan has 10,000 yuan in profit?"

"How can it be... The big ones only have 8,888 yuan... Ahem! What profit? The daily oil used in Barbara City comes from the east, not from the West Gate!" Qi Erling almost choked himself. Guan

Liyuan nodded and walked directly into the city gate. Valen and a group of iron guards glared at Qi Erling one by one...

"Mr. Guan, the matter of visiting His Majesty the King mentioned before..." Valen asked again after catching up with Guan Liyuan.

When a Saint Realm priest meets the King of Barbara, it is at most a "visit". When he meets the Barbara Patriarch or the Lord of the Magic Fairy Castle, it is a "paying respect".

"Forget it." Guan Liyuan declined politely

. "In fact, the customs in our Barbara country are still..." Valen thought that Qi Erling had left a bad impression on Guan Liyuan.

"But you earn too little." Guan Liyuan did not hide his vulgarity at all.

"This... like the second-generation rich, no special abilities, not going to the front line, naturally only these, but like me... I have been in the army for decades..."

Valen thought for a while, pointed to the holy rat beside him and said: "For this kind of holy realm monster, a few big victories are enough! Mr. Guan's strength is far better than mine, believe..."

Like the "tycoon" like Iron Saint Valen, as a fierce general holy realm specializing in the battlefield, although he has not comprehended "control", but because of the nature of the fierce attack and charge, and because of the knowledge of military strategy, he can train soldiers and boost morale, and play a greater role on the battlefield than "control", so his annual salary is more than that of ordinary people who comprehend "control" and stay in the royal city for retirement, and every time he wins a battle on the battlefield, he also gets a share of the spoils, so he is rich... enough for Guan Liyuan to squeeze!

Valen has not figured out Guan Liyuan's specific strength. Although Guan Liyuan claims to have mastered "control", Guan Liyuan's momentum before is not like that of ordinary holy realms who can comprehend "control".

However, Valen was sure that, with that momentum alone, he could play a greater role than himself in the battle between the two armies!

Therefore, he was confident and bold in making a promise, as if Guan Liyuan would soon be able to ascend the stage to be a general, become a grand marshal, marry the little princess, and reach the peak of his life...

But Guan Liyuan was not very impressed - a few big victories? Maybe Valen was not bragging, but... is it so easy to win a "big victory"?

Not to mention the difficulty, if you want a big victory, at least there must be a battle that can provide a "big victory"!

Barbara Country is not a place that has been at war for many years. Usually, there are some minor frictions with neighboring countries, and a small group of snakemen troops are blocked every year... This kind of annihilation of the opponent is not considered a "big victory"!

Besides...

Guan Liyuan also looked at the Holy Rat at this time, and then said: "So! It's impossible to work, I'd better catch holy beasts to make a living! Do you want to leave your contact information? I'll give you a discount next time!"

Valen: "..."

Indeed, Guan Liyuan's ability to capture magic beasts by shock is also very profitable...

At least most of the holy realms that have comprehended "control" are unable to capture holy realm magic beasts without injury. In fact, in a simple frontal battle, magic beasts are generally stronger than humans.

And if it is some stubborn holy realm magic beasts, the control realm saints may be able to defeat the opponent, but it is difficult to capture them alive. In most cases, at most, they can only capture holy realm magic beasts with missing arms and legs alive...

Normal professional beast-catching teams have special formation masters, seal masters, poison masters, etc., plus warriors who confront head-on, set traps, and cooperate with each other to catch magic beasts with no disabilities. Only magic beasts that are not disabled and not injured are worth capturing alive!

However, in the six southwestern countries, there is no beast-catching team that specializes in holy realm magic beasts.

But Valen didn't think that Guan Liyuan had a bright future as a professional beast trapper - he would be no different from those desperate mercenaries. Holy beasts could not be found or encountered easily, and going deep into their lair would be very dangerous, and might even provoke revenge from the powerful holy beasts.

"Momentum deterrence" also plays a big role on the battlefield. In Valen's opinion, it is more promising to join the military - of course, the most promising one is to go to the three major countries, but as a general of Barbara, Valen must consider the interests of Barbara.

But Valen is not enough to promise Guan Liyuan too much, so he did not persuade him much for the time being. He just took the opportunity to send Guan Liyuan and the people of the Storm God Cult to his small manor in Barbara City to stay temporarily. He was going to visit the king and the ancestors later, tell them about Guan Liyuan, and let them decide the "conditions".

In addition... the unusual movements of the ratmen in the Seventeen Pan Mountains must also be reported, and some other ratmen captured alive will be sent to prison for interrogation!

Guan Liyuan set a small goal for himself first - after all, he only has 50 million in his hand now, and if he wants to get a satisfactory treasure at the auction, he needs to show more...
