Chapter Seventy-Three: Selection and Visitors

The minds of the three young people are pure, so the changes in emotions are easier to capture, but not less susceptible to influence. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Before this, he thought that the breakthrough among the three would be in Sigrid, he was very confident in his appearance, and most people were used to judging people by their appearance, which is the so-called Yan Kong. But he was wrong, so he had to make some small adjustments to the follow-up plan that he had originally prepared.

Since he has been regarded as a bad person by others, there is no need to blindly pretend to be a good person.

"Your Excellency, you don't need to say any more, we believe that you are not a person who kills innocents indiscriminately. And our father... Our father was just unlucky, he was an unfortunate good man. ”

"That's why my sister and I decided to answer your call and join your command. ”

"My lord, I know that we are small and weak, and I don't want anything else, even if it is for my sister and me to stay with you and be a servant, please let us do a little bit for our hometown. ”

Bane's attitude was more sincere than Ling Qi's, and his words were very convincing.

Ling Qi looked at Bane, then at the two girls who were hugging each other, and suddenly shook his head and sighed.

Seeing this, Bane's heart just sank, and he secretly said badly, but Ling Qi said:

"Since you have a heart, of course I will not go against your good intentions. ”

Bane raised his head in surprise when he heard this, and the flame that had just cooled in his heart burned even more vigorously, as if he could burst out at any time and burn the enemy in front of him to ashes.

Ling Qi curled the corners of his lips and said warmly:

"Bane, you keep saying that you are loyal to me, and you frankly want to be my servant, then, you will be a handyman for me in the future!"

Ling Qi's hateful smile and his casual words gently pushed Bane, who had rekindled his ambitions, into the cold pool.

"Miscellaneous~Miscellaneous Servants~"

Bane, his face full of disbelief.

Although he is young, he has practiced martial arts with his father since he was a child, and when he really fights, ordinary adults may not be his opponents. Now, Ling Qi, who was still very generous and friendly, actually wanted to assign him to be a miscellaneous servant! Even the aunt next door could be included in the official establishment of the city guard, but in such a special period, he Bain wanted to be a slave?!

"My lord, Bane... How can you..."

Bane was still stunned, and Sigrid was already unwilling to launch a weak accusation!

"Hehe, what kind of expression do you have? Now is the time to employ people, although good warriors are important to Changhu Town, but miscellaneous labor is also indispensable. As the descendants of Ji Ruian, aren't you willing to do your meager strength for the town of Long Lake? And the battlefield is so dangerous, I am doing this for the good of Bain, you must understand my painstaking efforts!"

Ling Qi was speechless when the three of them fell, of course, the little girl's mouth was firmly covered by her sister, and her big watery eyes were staring at the big bad guy who didn't think it was so hateful just now.

"Bane, don't you want to?"

Ling Qi asked again, the young man's face was pale, and he was weak:

"I... I..."

Of course, Ling Qi knew what he was asking for, it was nothing more than an opportunity to come into contact with stronger power, nothing more than a magical potion that was blown by others.

If you join his troops, you will gain even greater power, which is the guarantee of being a "wizard"!

This is indeed tempting for ordinary people, but it may not be as attractive as other favorable conditions. For Bane, that's the only thing he cares about.

"Alas~ Well, Bane, since you don't want to, then I won't force you. You can join the Guard, and I can even let you lead the army on your own. ”

Ling Qi saw that Bane was silent, and suddenly changed his words, and the faces of the three young men were all happy.

It's really a few green fruits, Ling Qi couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.

"But... In that case, Sigrid will be in your place, and she will have to take responsibility that you won't take!"

Ling Qi's words made the joy of the three Bane solidify, and Bane looked at his sister helplessly, his face flashing with hesitation and entanglement.

The girl gave her a reassuring look, only the little girl glared at Ling Qi angrily again, but this time she couldn't make Ling Qi change her mind.

"Hehehe, of course, it will definitely not work to let a beautiful princess go to work as a handyman. It just so happens that I still lack a personal servant girl by my side..."

Ling Qi smiled at the little girl, his gaze casually sweeping over the girl's newly developed breasts. The girl's face changed when she heard this, and the little girl didn't quite understand but could feel her sister's nervousness, and immediately struggled to speak.

Bane was furious:

"Absolutely not!"

Ling Qi lowered his eyelids and looked at the three of them calmly, especially the angry Bane.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what else do you want!"

"The choice I gave you is either to sacrifice herself for your sister, she will have her place on the battlefield, this is what I can guarantee, maybe she will make a great heroine. Either... Like I said, you're going to get everything you want, but your sister is going to... Pay a small price. ”

"Hehe, don't worry, no matter what you two choose, I will take care of your sister, and she will stay by my side. ”

Ling Qi's words made the two eldest children's faces pale again, and Ling Qi felt their sudden outburst of anger and humiliation, especially after he finished his last sentence, he was slightly puzzled.

Faced with that desperate look, he had to add:

"I would treat her like my own daughter. ”

He did prefer Bane and Sigrid, who had solidified their hatred, to Tyr. In this little guy, he saw something different, and that was more striking than hatred.

Of course, now it's still very fragile, and it's mixed with childishness, so people can't tell whether she doesn't hate so deeply because she doesn't understand hate, or she hates deeply but doesn't want to let this kind of thought ruin her life.

Maybe the little girl's mind was not that complicated at all, but Ling Qi wanted to clarify the superficial simplicity, and then understand the deeper mystery that might never have existed before.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you fail, it is an investment, after all, it will not lose anything to yourself. And if it succeeds, it will help him too much.

The human heart is originally very simple, but it can also become very complex. Therefore, if you want to understand it, you often will not have enough time in your lifetime. Or maybe it's just that people's efforts are going in the wrong direction.

Bane and the three looked at each other, and Ling Qi walked away from these tangled little guys.

Things in the world are not perfect, but most people don't understand it, Ling Qi let Bane understand that he himself...

Two hours later, Changhu Town, which was shrouded in the atmosphere of war, was in full swing preparing for war.

Relying on the purchase of a lot of money and powerful and violent suppression, Ling Qi, who was ready to retreat before the start of the fight, did not even receive too much opposition from the townspeople, and everyone showed quite cooperation, perhaps he was not the only one who did not have much hope of winning the war.

Of course, there is also the effect of talent bewitchment, which makes some foolish people have to become wise with everyone's consciousness.

So many things have happened in just a few days, and now they may be uprooted from their hometowns, and it is impossible for the residents of Changhu Town to not have the slightest pimple in their hearts.

Fortunately, Ling Qi had already promised that if the war was unfavorable and once they retreated, they could all go to his rich territory on the other side of the Misty Mountains, the Honeywine Manor, which meant a difficult migration, but also a better future.

The townsfolk are busy, the lean donkeys are chained, and the mayor's horse is hitched, and they will all act as cattle and be responsible for the transportation of supplies, this time without discrimination.

Truckloads of grain and vegetables were piled onto the caravan, the axles creaked, and the coolies in charge of loading and unloading were full of sighs.

Most of the demon warriors were sent out of the city to build walls, and they had more strength and energy, and although it was impossible to compress the construction period of half a month into just one day, they could always make the low new walls pile higher.

Sailboats began to patrol the lake, fishing steel forks were tied to cannons, bows were replaced with sharp objects, and several three-masted galleons were covered with iron hulls and decks.

The unexpected death of the dragon and the early recovery of Sauron had made many of Ling Qi's plans come to naught, including trade with the elves, including the replanning of the town, and some changes would have been completely unnecessary if he had known that this would happen.

By noon, all the townspeople gathered in the square to eat a large pot of rice, and a total of "Ember Afterglow" was added to the meal, which was not so obvious after separation, but it would also allow the townspeople to maintain their full physical strength throughout the afternoon and learn things faster.

In the afternoon, it was time for group exercises, which was basically to familiarize these guys with the use of conventional weapons.

After the official deployment of weapons, the weapons in stock were obviously insufficient, so some people could only use modified sickles and rakes instead of knives and guns, but Ling Qi was not prepared to let them go to the battlefield now, so it didn't matter.

In this way, a new day passed in a busy one. Although the townspeople are terrified of the new changes in the Lonely Mountain, it is like a lurking monster, and it will easily refuse to show its claws.

Ling Qi's estimate was right, the orc legion that appeared on the lonely mountain had the military strength that could crush Changhu for dozens of rounds, but there was no change in the whole day. In the evening, the spies reported that the situation was similar to that of his earlier investigation.

Those guys seem to be ready to settle down in Lonely Mountain!

After the sun went down, everyone used the big pot of rice again, and when happiness and hope spread among the people at the bottom, Ling Qi asked Nitin, who had recently become a little strange, to appease the local magnates who were not very emotional, and he himself received a few rare guests.

"Hello, esteemed Lord of the Land of Honey, Lord of Long Lake, Mighty Mr. Wizard, Lord Lynch, I am the representative of the Dark Forest, Kirkcart, you can call me Coco. In addition, I am also the personal attendant of His Highness Leo, and this time in addition to bringing the kindness of His Majesty Thrandil, I also have the greetings of His Highness Leo. ”

The male elf in a dark green cloth robe saluted the handsome man in front of him, and said in a slightly elegant tone.

Ling Qi raised his eyebrows, he realized that the changes in the Lonely Mountain would attract the attention of all parties, but he didn't expect that the one who came from the Forest Elf Kingdom would be Leo's cronies.

"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Coco..."

"Hmm... Well, apart from Mr. Coco, and this Mr. Chery from Rivinedell, the rest... Ladies and gentlemen, please take a break for one night, if there is anything we will talk about tomorrow, everyone should have no opinion!"

Ling Qi smiled at Coco, and then gestured with his eyes to Chilled, a close confidant of King Elon and who had already met him, to show that he understood his intentions, and arrogantly ordered the expulsion of the guests to the other human messengers who were obviously three or two grades worse in clothing.

Although these human envoys from the surrounding territories felt that the new mayor of Changhu Town had no one in their eyes, their long-standing fear of elves and the changes they had witnessed in Changhu Town today all made them suppress their resentment.

Today's Changhu Town is no longer the Changhu Town that waged its tail and begged for mercy for them in the past!

It's on the cusp of the storm, but here comes a powerful, mysterious helmsman!

"No! No!"

"Where! To meet the legendary lord of the land of honey wine is already a blessing for my three lives. ”

"Yes, yes, I just hope that if there is another change in the lonely mountain, Lord Lynch can send a messenger to inform us in advance. ”

Ling Qi waved his hand impatiently, signaling that these annoying guys could go, and there was a waiter outside the door to take them to the post house to rest.

"Come with me, both of you. ”

It wasn't until he was sure that those people had gone away that Ling Qi said to the two elves with a smile.

The two elven messengers all bowed to him gracefully, and the elves were like that, not wanting to lose points on any occasion to the point of being old-fashioned.

They each looked at each other again.

Coco was amazed at the wide range of friends of His Royal Highness the Prince, and it seemed that even Rivendell had a relationship with him.

And Rivendell's envoy was only acting on orders before, and he couldn't bear the background of Ling Qi at this time.

Of course, what really changed the attitude of the two of them was the strength of Changhu Town!

Are those red-skinned warriors who call themselves witch guards really the natives of Long Lake Town?

Wizard, could it be that this Lynch in front of him is actually...
