I was dragged home all the way like a sleepwalker, and sat alone at the door in a daze.
"Hi, dear friend Diboer, what's wrong with you?" Montetier came back from outside wearing a mask.
I raised my head and looked at him, but didn¡¯t answer.
When I was working as a waiter in this world, my monthly salary was only about 2000rmb. This 2000rmb was only enough for me. If a family of three wanted to live for one month, it would cost at least 5000rmb. If 1 silver coin is equal to 5,000 yuan, then 4 gold coins are 2 million yuan! I have never seen 100,000 yuan in this world, but today I actually spent 2 million yuan with just a few words!
Montetier obviously didn¡¯t understand my mood. He excitedly shouted through the door:
"Good news! Friends! Stanton, send you two guys out quickly, you are about to become a knight!"
Before I finished speaking, two groups of figures rushed out, almost knocking me into the street.
"Hey, Montetier, do you say that again?!" Stanton grabbed Montetier's collar and almost lifted him up.
"Is it true? Do you really want to be a knight? If you lie to others, huh! They won't let you go."
I stood up and motioned to the two guys to calm down.
"Tell me, Montetier, what's going on?"
Montetier adjusted his robe and said:
"As far as I know, the Silent Marquis Richard is currently in the castle receiving an envoy from the royal city. The envoy came to us to inform Lord Richard that in addition to the knight competition at the end of this year, a "quasi-knight" qualification competition will also be held at the same time."
Vicky-Stanton looked at Montetier with excitement all the way, looking forward to what he would say next.
"There are 48 cities in 9 counties in the empire, and each city has 3 quasi-knight quotas, um," Montetier paused to pretend to think.
??Yifa and Stanton were on the point of bursting into tears, pleading and saying:
"Mr. Wizard Montether, what happens next?"
"Then, Lord Richard and Bishop Marga unanimously decided that the captains of the Hathvi Guards - Asantean, Stanton, and Ilufa would represent Hathvi City to participate!"
"That is to say, Stanton, after all this time, you are now quasi-knights. Haha"
"Wow! Hoho!" The two guys were so happy that they threw Montetier up.

"A quasi-knight literally means a reserve knight. Although it is also called a knight, it is still far from a formal knight. A formal knight is the lowest rank of decorated nobles (the highest duke), while a quasi-knight is only a civilian, of course. Quasi-knights are also eligible to be promoted to full knights, but the process is very long. Generally speaking, quasi-knights must first pass the apprentice knight qualification assessment, then serve in various cities for more than 3 years, and finally be recommended by the local city lord (lord) to become a full knight. But it is not accurate Knights can also directly go to the battlefield to participate in the battle. As long as they can defeat the enemy knights, they can also be directly promoted to official knights." Montetier patiently explained to me.
"That means Stanton and the others are already qualified to become knights." I asked.
"yes, I'm sure."
"Does that mean I don't have to participate in the knight competition? After all, Stanton is already a knight." It seems that I can concentrate on looking for Xiu Ting and Fat Ball.
"No! Your application has been submitted."
I¡¯ll do it! How can these guys do this so efficiently?
"Can't it be revoked?"
"No! Unless you want to die."
I¡¯ll do it! cross! cross! cross. . . . . . . . . . . .
"By the way, I have something else to tell you." Montetier said with some worry.
"A prospective knight must ride a horse, but I don't think I saw any horses along the way?"
Are you able to ride a horse all the way? I almost went berserk. The 4 captured horses were sold for 4 gold coins, which means that each horse deserves at least 1 gold coin. A gold coin? Where do we have it?
"And even if there is a horse, I don't think I can ride it all the way. He seems to be too heavy. I have to find a way for him." Montetier's face became solemn.
Yes, he looks like a big bear when he grows up. No ordinary horse can hold him up.
"What should we do? Is it difficult to tell him to give up participating in the competition where he can become a trainee knight? I'm afraid he will have to destroy half of Hathvi." I am really worried.
"It's not that there is absolutely no horse to ride. I heard that there is a black market somewhere in Weiss where you can buy a horse that can be ridden all the way. That horse seems to be called, by the way! It's called Kenster Plateau Horse!"
"How much will it cost?" I only care about money now.?
"The less you say, the less you can get 10 gold coins."
"Stanton! Bring me the map I drew!" I roared loudly outside the house.

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????I have racked my brains in order to buy horses for Yilufa.
We thought of many ways, and there were times when I really wanted to rob.
You want 10 gold coins? I still remember Bitril¡¯s reluctant expression when she gave me 20 copper coins to watch the show. And where on earth are we poor guys going to get this huge sum of money? ah! "Yes!" Nanguo Dance Troupe. Ha ha! DuBoer, you are so talented.
I suddenly had an idea. We could start a theater troupe and put on a stage sitcom or something. People in this world almost don't have much entertainment, otherwise the performances in Southern China wouldn't be so popular. I am absolutely confident that we will produce several hits that will sell well. Mr. DuBoer, a dignified modern man, took action, fearing that he would not fool these guys to death.
"Hehe!!! Haha!!!" So happy! "Haha!!" Everything in front of me seemed to turn into money
"Hey, I'm talking about monsters, do you think Diboer is crazy?" Stanton, who was sparring with him in the distance, stopped.
"Oh! That's right. I've been feeling that Master Diboer is a little weird these days." He stopped talking all the way.
"Mr. DuBoer hasn't eaten or drank these days. He seems to feel nauseated when he sees greasy food. Ah! It can't be" Yifa said thoughtfully.
"What is it?" Stanton asked inexplicably.
"She must have a child. Just now, people heard him saying, "I have a baby!" Hmm I think Mr. DuBoer must be pregnant!"
"You're so big! DiBoer is a boy, okay?!" Stanton wasn't completely fooled yet.
"Well, who knows, don't you think that he and Mr. Montetier are very close? Maybe Mr. Montetier gave him some medicine, and he could get pregnant after taking it. And, maybe in order to thank Montetier Sir, which one of them is that?" He said as if he knew everything.
"I'll do it"
The great quasi-knight of the Empire: Lord Vecchia-Stanton once again threw himself to the ground heroically.

I just did it, and then I convinced the owner of the "Big Tank" pub, and he decided to let us have a trial performance three days later. Then at dinner, I announced the official establishment of the "Asia" theater group: I, DuBoer, the leader, serve as screenwriter, host and narrator; Montetier, the deputy leader, serve as props and costumes; Beatle, the actor, serve as Costumes and props; Stanton, an actor, serves as security and coolie; Yilifa, a special actor, serves as security and coolie.
In order to meet the public's aesthetic and taste, I decided to use "The Knight and the Beast" adapted from "Mr. Dong Guo and the Wolf" as the premiere play. Then the city lord Silent Richard, Bishop Marga, captain of the guard Asantean, trainee knight Bol, Vettel, and Laskosky were listed as special guests.
I asked the bishop¡¯s secretary to draw a large propaganda poster for me, and then asked the children at the church school to copy dozens of them for me and put them up everywhere. (Incidentally, there are missing persons notices for Xiu Ting and Fat Ball) By the day of the premiere, our troupe was already a well-known star in Hathway.

"I announce! The first performance of the "Asia" Theater Company begins now!" As Lord Richard finished his speech, the stage curtain slowly opened.
"This is a proud, brave, kind, humble knight" I said the narration loudly.
Afterwards, Bitriel dressed as a knight and rode the horse played by Yifa majestically onto the stage.
"This is a cunning, pitiful, cruel, and clever wolf"
The wild wolf played by Stanton howled onto the stage. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The performance was very successful. I successfully signed a one-month contract with the tavern owner for three games a week. And at the same time, I received advertising sponsorship applications from many store owners such as "Dad's Tailor Shop", "Little Man's Boot Shop", and "Hasway's First Bakery". But what I'm most concerned about is our income from today's performance.
After the performance, Montetier, the deputy director of the troupe, walked into my temporary office carrying a bag of money.
"Hi, friend Diboer, we've made a lot of money this time." Montetier looked excited.
"how many?"
"We will give 30% of the costumes and props, the stage and the tavern (we will give the ticketsThe price is set at 20 copper coins, and drinks are free for the audience (except for special offers). ) This time I received a total of 28 silver coins and 75 copper coins. "
"That's all?" I was a little dissatisfied. 1 gold coin is equal to 100 silver coins.
"The main reason is that the tavern is too small and our ticket prices are too low. If we can find a bigger place to raise the ticket prices." Montetier suggested.
"Well, I'll think of a way." I'm going to see the Lord of the City when I have time to see if we can find a wider place for us.

With the "Asia" theater troupe becoming an instant success in Hathway, the home that the bishop arranged for us next to the church was almost destroyed by the speculators who came to visit us. We had to temporarily stay at the training ground.
We were practicing sweating profusely at the training ground, and Bitril was preparing lunch for us not far away.
"Hey, Master Diboer, why do you always arrange for people to be horses (Mr. Dongguo and Wolf-Ma) (Beauty and the Beast-Ma) (Yan Zi makes Chu-Ma), but they don't want to. People want to be the leading actor, Hmm, it's better to be a handsome prince." He said as he easily dealt with Stanton and I's attacks.
"With your monster look, you're still quite the leading actor? Bah!" Stanton continued to strike mercilessly.
"No, I want to be the protagonist! Uh-huh! I want to be the prince! DuBoer, if you don't agree, I will go on strike!"
I couldn¡¯t resist it, I was screaming all the way, and I couldn¡¯t even swing my sword.
"Okay, okay. I'll give you a play right away, okay? It's definitely a handsome prince! Okay." I soon had a new play in my mind.
"That's pretty much it. You have to hurry up and make arrangements. I can't wait any longer. Oh!" He jumped up happily. Stanton and I, who were attacking, were immediately knocked flying by a pair of huge legs. Go far away.
After the last performance in the tavern, the "Asia" Theater Company specially performed a new play in order to give back to the audience:
"Giant Frog Prince"
The play came to an end with thunderous applause from the audience. In the selection of the best actor that night, Lufa won the championship without hesitation.

Before the tavern contract was terminated, the city owner and I had already agreed on the address of the new theater: the main square of the church.
This place can accommodate nearly a thousand spectators, which is much more spacious than a pub that can only hold 200 people. I used the exclusive VIP box as a condition, and successfully reached an agreement with the bishop for the exclusive supply of "Tiffel-Holy Light" wine (this wine is privately owned by the church). Moreover, the troupe has the right to charge a special fee of 10% on all food, sugar and wine sold during the performance. Due to the substantial increase in the overall number of visitors and the introduction of various cooperation agreements, we all unanimously decided: the ticket price will remain unchanged.
The venue has changed, the service has changed, the quality of the drinks has improved, and the ticket prices have still been kept low. Tickets for the first show in our new theater sold out on the first day they were announced.
On the day of the performance, the black market ticket price had reached an astonishing 1 silver coin per ticket!
We estimated many emergencies for the day¡¯s performance, but we still didn¡¯t expect that in addition to the audience entering the square, there were thousands of people waiting around the square. I temporarily decided to remove the cloth surrounding the square and increase standing tickets. Standing tickets do not provide drinks, but each ticket only sells for one copper coin!
As soon as the news was released, everyone cheered!
I know that our troupe is truly successful!
