The remuneration that Mo Chong mentioned was not the monthly salary for the third-class guards given by the family, but another remuneration that the East Twelve Wards gave to their guards every month.
This kind of reward is not only available in the East Twelve Districts, but also in other places. Even guards of different levels can have different forms of additional income.
Just like the second-class guards responsible for escorting the caravan, they will also receive extra remuneration for accompanying the caravan. This is considered an unspoken rule.
But places like East Twelve Blocks don't have that much money, so the so-called reward is pitifully little. It can only be said that it is better than nothing.
But this is a weapons shop after all, so there is one advantage, that is, Mo Tang can find a good weapon...
The long sword that cost him dozens of gold coins had been broken by the little Ironback Bear. Now he was only using the ordinary long sword issued by the third-class guards of the Mohist School.
This kind of thing is fine for killing ordinary people, but if you really encounter a fierce battle, it will definitely be unusable.
Although the triple sword energy that Mo Tang practiced was powerful, it also had high requirements for weapons, especially sharpness and toughness, so Mo Tang prepared to get himself a good sword!
Walking in the busy market town, Mo Tang unknowingly slowly entered the depths of the market town.
Although this is an armory, it does not only sell weapons. Many mercenaries also set up stalls here to sell their own items.
Of course, this requires paying a huge fee to the market.
The items sold deep in this market are generally much more valuable than those sold outside, so the customers who can come here to buy are all mercenaries with some strength.
Arriving at the largest weapons store in the market, before entering, Mo Tang saw Chen Lin, the market manager whom he had met once before, seeing off a sturdy man.
Judging from the big man's appearance, he should be quite powerful and a big client, otherwise he wouldn't let Chen Lin see him out personally.
"Haha, Captain Iron Wolf, don't worry. The batch of weapons you need will be delivered to your mercenary group's base in half a month." Chen Lin smiled at the big man.
"Thank you very much, Manager Tang. I'll take my leave now! Please stay!"
Watching the mercenary leader named Tielang leave, Chen Lin was still there looking at his back and smiling, which showed that he had really made a big deal this time.
"Manager Tang!" Mo Tang greeted.
Chen Lin turned around, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he immediately said, "Hey! It's Brother Mo Tang, how come you have time to come to my place?"
Mo Tang also smiled and said: "See if there is any weapon that suits you..."
After hearing this, Chen Lin's eyes lit up.
I was just worrying about how to get in touch with this promising young talent, but I didn't expect it to be delivered to my doorstep!
"Hahaha, you're here!" Chen Lin pulled Mo Tang into the room and said with a smile, "I can't say anything about other brothers, but when it comes to weapons, I, Old Tang, can still help."
"Brother, tell me, what kind of weapon do you want? If this store doesn't have it, I can have someone customize it for you!"
Chen Lin said this very proudly.
Mo Tang naturally would not be polite at this time, and said: "I need a long sword, the blade should not be too wide, and most importantly, it must be tough and sharp!"
Chen Lin nodded slightly. This was not difficult for him.
"Brother, you came at the right time. Yesterday, the master craftsman in the weapons workshop forged a top-quality long sword that just meets your requirements. Come with me."
After the two entered the store, Chen Lin asked someone to bring out a wooden box about 1.2 meters long, and then he opened it himself, revealing a weapon similar to the broadsword in his previous life.
The handle of this knife is wrapped in an unknown black leather, the blade is sparkling, and there is even a faint green light flashing on the edge. It is obviously a truly top-quality knife.
Chen Lin looked at Mo Tang, a smile flashed in his eyes, and said: "This sword was made by a master swordsmith in the weapon workshop who has been making swords for forty years. The name of the sword is Fengling.
Although it is made of ordinary steel, it has been tempered through thousands of times and has a tough texture. The blade is made of green cold stone and is extremely sharp. It is a rare and good knife!"
Mo Tang nodded. The sharp coldness he felt when his fingers ran across the blade just now made him agree with Chen Lin's words.
only...
Mo Tang shook his head and closed the knife box.
"What? Are you not satisfied, brother?" Chen Lin asked with a frown.
"It's not that I'm dissatisfied, it's that I don't have that much money to buy such a good knife!"
Hearing this, Chen Lin heaved a sigh of relief, and then he smiled proudly and said, "Brother, what you said is true. I haven't expressed anything about your coming to my East Twelve Square yet. This knife is my gift to you. Don't refuse it, or you won't consider me your friend!"
Regarding this kind of forced gift giving, Mo Tang wanted to say... Come on, even harder!
As for the possible situation after accepting it, Mo Tang didn't care too much.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
It was just a favor. For a lonely man like him, sometimes it was very important, but sometimes it was nothing...
When I can truly grow up and have status and power in the Mohist School, then repaying this favor will be just a matter of a few words.
As for whether the other party would use human feelings as a threat or something like that...
Are you making a fuss? If the favor is so great that you can't repay it, then as long as the creditor is gone, the problem will be solved.
Many people were familiar with this matter in their previous lives!
Looking at Chen Lin's face that said "I'm really unhappy", Mo Tang could only accept it "reluctantly".
Seeing this, Chen Lin's face immediately changed into a smile, and he said, "That's right. Brother, I'm counting on you to help me when you become successful in the future."
Mo Tang put on a wry smile and said, "Alas. For a branch descendant like us who has no money and no power, and no spiritual medicine support from the family, it is not easy to condense the fighting spirit!"
"If I wasn't trying to earn some money to buy spiritual medicine and accumulate internal fighting spirit, how could I be acting as a guard at such a critical moment..."
Having said this, Mo Tang's face darkened again.
The scene became somewhat quiet. Mo Tang looked lost, while Chen Lin, who was sitting on the other side, had a changing expression. His right index finger trembled unconsciously, and he looked hesitant.
After about a cup of tea, Chen Lin seemed to have made up his mind. He looked at Mo Tang and said in a deep voice, "Brother, I know you have talent, but for people like us, talent alone is not enough to make a name for ourselves..."
Mo Tang nodded and listened quietly to the other party's subsequent words.
"As for me, I don't have any special abilities, except that I have some talent in business. But I am not a member of the Mohist School after all, and being the manager of the East Twelve Blocks is already the limit for me.
When I first saw you, I felt that we were destined to be together. I have saved a lot over the years. How about this, if you need anything, just ask. If I can help you, I will definitely not refuse!
I just hope that if you can really make it in the future, don't forget me, your elder brother…"
