The Duchy of Bingyao is the city of Bingyao, which is centered on a huge Earl of Bingyao and a radius of five kilometers.

In fact, when this city was first established, there were no walls. It was just a scattered area of ​​free people like merchants around the Earl Castle, and these free people were not included in the jurisdiction of the Earl Castle.

This is why there is such a strange thing, because the real rule of the nobles can do whatever they want is their own castle itself.

As for the villages and towns in the territory, they all exist as vassals. Except for the required tribute and limited loans that must be paid every year, they are completely autonomous.

Due to geographical and political reasons, the people who temporarily lived outside the Earl of Bick's Castle settled down, and they were like snowballs and rolled more and more.

Seeing that the settlements under his castle were becoming more and more prosperous, the Count began to seek rule.

However, the settlers all believed that this settlement was not built by the earl, so apart from being willing to pay a certain amount of money, they were not willing to make any moves, and they could not send troops to disperse the earl of the entire settlement, so they had to touch their noses and recognize them.

However, the Count's unfriendliness to the settlements under the city became well known.

This state continued for a while. When the settlement became richer and richer, an unidentified robber seemed to have seen an opportunity from it and bravely ransacked it.

Earl Castle was very slow to react to these robbers. After the robbers roared away, the army of Earl Castle came out slowly, and the result can be imagined.

This looting not only caused great trauma to the residents, but also made the residents realize that without their own force, they could not guarantee their lives and property.

Therefore, the settled people once again clearly refused the requirement of the count's rule, and spread rumors about the count's collusion with the robbers.

In response to this, the angry count simply prepared to destroy the settlement, but unfortunately, they were colluded with these residents to successfully plot against the viscount, who had long been ill-behaved.

In retribution, the new earl and the residents contributed together to build a wall around the settlement and formulated an oath. The earl had the obligation to resist foreign invasions and had the power to collect taxes. The residents had the right to autonomy and public security under the premise of supporting the earl.

In other words, the one who actually controls Bichai City is still the representatives of the residents at that time, that is, the current Bichai City Council.

The Parliament of Bicco is an authority that can only control Bicco City according to the initial regulations, but not to mention being infected with the Earl of Bicco Castle, even outside the city cannot penetrate.

This institution is the only urban power organization in the entire Snow Country area controlled by the representatives of free people. Although there are many groups such as certain business groups to control a certain aristocratic territory, the aristocrats they control are puppets, and the controllers are all considered powerful people, so they are not listed here.

There are thirteen seats in the Bicco Parliament, including one mercenary representative, four mercenary representatives, five mercenary representatives, one religious representatives, one labor representatives, and one earl representatives.

In addition to the earl representative, the other twelve representatives are the spokespersons of the most powerful forces in all walks of life.

Although this parliament exercises power on behalf of the entire free people, according to the practice of the minority obeying the majority, Bichai still uses the will of merchant groups and mercenary groups as its will.

Because of these two industries that exist in Bick City's affairs, coupled with Bick City's liberalization, Bick City's commercial and mercenary activities can be regarded as the most active in the Snow Country.

Therefore, there are endless streams of sleds and snow carriages in and out of this rather huge city.

Among so many carriage sleds, Cons's weird sled is eye-catching, but not too noticeable, because once there are more people, any weird things will happen.

Cons, sitting in the driver's seat, pointed at the top of the city and asked Bilents beside him: "Why are there so many flags in this Billy City and it's messy?"

"Master, this is the flag of the members of the thirteenth seat of the Bic Parliament. The letter of the pledge stipulates that the members of the thirteenth seat have the right to erect a flag on this head." Bilinters said respectfully.

It turns out that Bilents was all local knights from the Count Bicks. Although they were considered country knights, they were still very clear about the Bicks Parliament, which was almost famous throughout the Snow Country.

The situation in Bick City is what Bilintes told Cons.

"Oh, so that's how this seat will not change, right?" Cons nodded and looked at the city that was lying in the distance.

"Definitely not, because there are many merchant groups and mercenary groups in Bick City, and all seats are run for election once a year. It can be said that except for the flag representing the Earl, the other flags are replaced every year." Bilinters explained.

"Once a year? It's too short. How did they run for these thirteen seats?" Cons asked frowned.

Is it considered a change of rulers once a year? This is the biggest drawback of a regime!

However, thinking about the fact that the parliament is mainly controlled by the merchant groups and mercenary groups, and after the changes, it still favors the merchant groups and mercenary groups. The great thing is that the merchant groups and mercenary groups that came to power that year were more beneficial than other mercenary groups and mercenary groups. This is no wonder it takes one year to choose.

"It's not short. For every organization that wins the election, one year is enough to gain enough benefits. If it doesn't step down, the following organizations will rebel."

Bilentes explained first, and then said: "In fact, the method of running is very simple. Needless to say, the earl representative must be fixed. The mercenary is the most powerful. The mercenary group depends on who is the most powerful. The mercenary group depends on who completes a specific task first. The mercenary group depends on who does the same business within a limited time. As for religion, it depends on who wins the most believers, while the laborer is the most and the best job."

"Oh, are there any qualification restrictions?" Cons asked again.

"No, as long as the base is from Bick City." Bilinters said this, and when he saw Cons's eyes glowing, he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment and reminded: "Master, although there is no limit on this qualification, at least mercenaries must be hired at level 4 or above, and the merchant group has more than 100,000 gold coins and more than mercenary groups, and only 3 or above can enter the pre-select, otherwise they will definitely be busy."

"Hmm." Cons glanced at Bilinters.

I didn't expect this guy to be so sensitive. I just thought about him and knew it. Cons couldn't help but smile and said, "I know what you mean, but I don't have such a big delusion."

He said so, but Cons still sighed at the flags on the city wall.

If his heraldry pattern could appear on the city wall, I'm afraid the entire Earl Beaker Corps would know the existence of this heraldry.

When they arrived at about one or two kilometers away from the city gate, Cons and the others discovered that the snow on the road had completely disappeared and the skis could no longer slide.

The horse-drawn snowmobile seen on the road stopped and put on wheels. Only those small sleds continued to be pulled forward by dogs, but the people on the sled came down to walk.

There was no choice but to follow suit, get out of the car and drive the snow dog, pulling the giant sled on the road.

When we arrived at the city gate, there were already a long queue waiting to enter the city. Finally, it was Cons' turn. The guards at the city gate strictly inspected Cons' sled car. After finding that there were no contraband inside, they were released without collecting taxes on the city.

Cons was not surprised by this situation, because for a city dominated by a merchant group and a mercenary group, the most normal choice is without a city gate tax.

Entering the city gate, Cons followed the crowd, led the snow dog, and brought the giant sled to make those who had no place to settle down.

A place where foreigners use carriages and sleds to place them.

This kind of place is used to store horses everywhere, but in this snow country, the difference is that there is an extra place to store snow dogs.

Cons and three secret guards walked in front, followed by eight slaves.

For these eight slaves, although the A-Zero Secret Guard appeared very abruptly, they were not too surprised. After all, when this terrifying man killed the members of the Snow Wolf Gang, they knew that he was Cons's subordinate.

Thirteen people in this group walked on the street very low-key... In fact, no matter how high-profile they were, they would never be able to go anywhere.

As we walked along the way, hundreds of people were protecting a carriage and moving on the streets.

As the human eye sees, both men, women, young and old, they are all dressed up as bears. The only difference is that some of the bear's fur are smooth and beautiful, while others are dull and blemish and hair-lost.

Although the snow has never stopped, it seems to be falling forever, but it cannot stay in this place for a long time. It is either knocked and beaten or trampled, which has also caused the humidity in Bick City to rise a lot out of thin air.

Seeing this road that was full of water, it was ten meters wide and was paved with stones. When I looked at the three-story high storey on both sides of the road and a wide storefront, Cons couldn't help but be amazed.

Such infrastructure facilities are not possible even if they are the Grand Governor's Office. It is estimated that only the imperial capital will invest such a large amount of capital to build them like this.

If it weren't for seeing it with your own eyes, who would have thought that the remote and poor snow country in people's hearts would be such an expensive town!

From this perspective, we can see how much the ruling territorial this town pays attention to construction, and at the same time it also determines how rich the town is.

Cons, who once built Qingyue City, Feidu Peninsula, knew very well how much it would cost to pave the ground with large pieces of bluestone like this.

"Billentes, how many such towns are there in the entire Snow Country?" Cons asked.

Bilintes thought for a while and said, "Master, if you talk about this kind of conference system, then there will be only here. If it is of this scale, as far as you know, at least seven or eight are all famous towns in the entire Snow Country."

"Oh, let's hear it."

Cons was very curious that there were seven or eight such a wealthy town in the Snow Country. In this way, the foundation of the Snow Country is at least quite rich.

Bilents hurriedly said, "Yes, first of all, there is Bic City, then there is Earl Wenqin City, Earl Wenqin City, Earl Wujin’s Triumph City, Earl Shanye’s Earl Zinan City, Earl Shenbing City, Earl Shenbing City, Earl Shenbing City, Earl Snow Winged Baron, Earl Snow Wind City, Earl Snow Wind City, Earl Baijing’s Earl, and finally there is Earl Snow Moon City.

"These are the nine most famous and wealthiest towns in the entire Snow Country. However, the small ones don't know what specialties these towns have."

Bilintes felt that he was a little stupid before, but why didn’t he pay attention to this information when he was able to get in touch with it? Otherwise, he could leave a knowledgeable impression on the master now.

Cons didn't ask anything more, but just kept these place names and cities in his mind.

When Cons thought that as long as his mercenary group and the herald spread throughout these towns, it would be time for him to fulfill his adoptive father's last wish. At that time, no matter whether he knew the details of his surname or had no result, he could finish this matter.

Instead of looking for the Mercenary Guild, Cons first spent ten gold coins a year on rent, rented a house in the city, and then recorded the address.

The reason for doing this is that the registered mercenary group must have a long-term station at the registration place.

Bilinters, who can become a knight without a background, not only rely on his own combat knowledge and merits, but also has

The ability to recognize interests and observe expressions, otherwise you would really think that a guy with stupid strength could become a knight? Such a person is just cannon fodder.

So when Bilinters saw Cons' expression, he explained: "Master, not all the mercenaries from Bick City, but some of them are from the surrounding towns. The reason why they came here was because they all accepted the mission here. They had to run back to hand in the mission."

Cons thought about it and understood why this happened. Because of the distance and communication problems, it was impossible for mercenaries to hand in tasks outside the country. This also restricted the development of the Mercenary Guild, and it is more likely that the robber group with the mercenary group cloak appeared because of this reason.

But what does it have to do with me? I just need to expand the reputation of the mercenary group and obtain the information I need.

Cons, who understood this, didn't say much. He just asked someone to ask, and then registered his mercenary identity and mercenary group qualification.

Perhaps at this moment, all the mercenaries who could register were registered, so Cons and his party were immediately received, and in a very short time they paid the money and obtained the documents. Then, after waiting for an hour, the mercenary group pattern made on the spot also fell into their hands.

Originally, we still needed to be recognized by the lord and the local mercenary group, but who said that this Bick City was controlled by the merchant group and the mercenary group, so these two procedures were naturally exempted.

This is also because of the large number of mercenary groups in Pick City, because here, you can form a mercenary group as long as you have money, unlike other places that depends on the faces of the powerful.

So at this moment, Cons, Jia Zero, Jia One, and Jia Two all hung the mercenary group badges with red background, white vines and black roses, and officially became registered mercenaries and mercenary groups in Bick City.

Although Cons was happy to hang such badges on Bilinters and the eight others, unfortunately Bilinters and the three others said that they were just slaves and did not want to become mercenaries.

Others said they would rather go back to work as a lumberjack after freedom than become a mercenary.

Therefore, Cons' mercenary group, including the leader of the mercenary group and the owner of the mercenary group, only has four members, which is definitely the smallest of so many registered mercenary groups.

"Master, what tasks are you going to take on now?"

Rejecting Cons' recruitment, although Bilents did not find any comments about Cons, he still seemed cautious. Who said that he was a slave? Cons, the master, could beat and scold him at will.

If you don’t have the ideal of becoming a noble, then it doesn’t matter if you join the mercenary group. As for those who want to go back to work as lumberjacks, they are all short-sighted people. They don’t think that even if mercenaries are much more dangerous, their lives are several times better than lumberjacks! But if I refuse, I will not be qualified to talk about others.

"Of course it's a mission near Bick City. I don't want to spend a few days to complete the mission, and I spend a few more days rushing back to hand in the mission."

Cons said casually, but his eyes were browsing the sheepskin hanging on the wall.

When looking at these sheepskins, Cons couldn't help but think about it.

It seems that all mercenaries still have to know the words. Otherwise, how can they take on the tasks? But this means that 80% of the literate elites in the entire Snow Country stay at the level of mercenaries? It shouldn't be so outrageous, right? I guess there must be people like documents explaining tasks to those illiterate mercenaries.

He glanced at the corner of his eyes and found that there was indeed a documentary person next to him, explaining something to other mercenaries who were choosing tasks.

Seeing that Cons was paying attention to the parchment, Bilents and several servants who knew how to do all their faces changed.

The tasks posted by the Mercenary Guild are generally divided according to the material of the recorded data.

In other words, tasks with less money are generally written on straw paper, those with more money are written on pig skin, while those with valuables are written on sheep skin!

The amount of money represents an increase in danger. For example, those tasks on sheepskins, only mercenaries with more than a hundred people dare to take over, but there are only four mercenaries and eight slaves here!

Thinking of this, Bilinters hurriedly reminded: "Master, only the mercenary group above level three can accept these tasks. With your current level, you can only accept those tasks on straw paper."

Cons obviously didn't expect that there were such regulations, but he understood why there were such rules, which was to avoid people who were overestimating themselves. But is he overestimating himself? There is no way, rules are rules. If you can't or are unwilling to change the rules, then it's best to abide by them.
