The moment the quill tip lands on the ballot, you realize that the Roar at the Stake curse has been triggered.

You stop and stare at the smudged droplets.

In fact, even if the curse is not triggered, one person will be happy and four people will be angry, but the curse effect will make the winner happier and the loser more difficult to accept. It's the same whether you touch it or not.

Give me a few minutes, and the squires, guards, and others will leave the room—with that, you take off your magic necklace and cast a spell to contact Melanie: it's time to activate the slaves you bought back who were hidden somewhere in your territory.

I've been arguing for days, and it's not bad for a few minutes. Now you have the all-important sixth vote, so you can do whatever you want with this little thing.

As a result, the open election turned into a secret conversation of six people.

You motioned for the other five to be quiet, and had something to say. Meanwhile, in a secret room in the labyrinthine village, Melanie casts four rings of "discovery" on a large mirror to broadcast your words and deeds live to more than thirty slaves.

The following is your brief remark:

"I'm going to resurrect little Kyle!, but he may need to rest and recuperate from the aftermath of the resurrection, and he is no longer fit for front-line work. Although his lover Tracy has no experience in market management, his long-term planning and ability to organize and mobilize have been confirmed by the events of the previous time. The beauty stands in front of the scenes, while little Kyle himself retreats behind the scenes. I think everybody will be satisfied, won't they?"

You push the ballot with "Tracy" written on it to the center of the table and announce it to the public, and the other five are silent.

Silent.

"Agreed! If we can really bring the legendary little Kyle back to the Gulf Market, I fully support it, no objection!" the laundry owner tore up his ballot and changed it to "Tracy". Even Polz is looking forward to little Kyle, and what businessman in Five Lanes Bay would not be admired?

After hesitating, McKenna also shredded the ballot and refilled the name "Tracy": "I firmly believe that the Elder will definitely resurrect little Kyle and persuade him to return to the Bay Market." As long as the elder promises that the legendary merchant that you and Miss Tracy can balance will not do anything like the one that was wiped out in the past, the Ancient City Market is willing for everyone to have money to make money together. Full support, no objections!"

Ms. Sylvana also shredded the ballot and changed it to "Tracy": "A man worth remembering." In any case, there is no merchant better than him. I re-elected, but not because there was no way out. Full support, no objections!"

Viscount Eliabeth tore up the ballot and wrote the name "Tracy": "If he is the market manager, I will fully support it, no different." Husband and wife are even better, allowing horror geniuses to be restrained. Full support, no objections!"

Tracey bowed deeply.

The fierce applause of the five people echoed in the secret room for a long time. Perhaps, when the struggle for power and profit rises to the death of each other's cronies, no one wants to continue to bleed. Of the five, Tracy is the only one who has ever unified a rabble of rich merchants, laborers, and slaves on her own, the only one who can unify the complex distribution of power in the Gulf market, and the only one who can play the card of Kyle Jr. To avoid a river of blood, Tracey is the only real person.

peaceful settlement,

All rejoice,

When everyone sat down and briefly talked about trade, guards, goods circulation, etc., the atmosphere was incredibly harmonious.

This strange and out-of-the-box secret conversation is strictly confidential at your request, and in fact, everyone has the same intention! Of course, when Tracey and Little Kyle stand in front of the market management department in a few days, the world will know the results of today's election. It doesn't matter, at that time, your "Roar at the Burning Flame" curse was a different matter. Much later, this incredible enactment became a mystery that shrouded you in layers of mystery and added to your legendary biography. What is even more incomprehensible is that almost everyone has reacted extremely strongly to today's decision, even if people from far away in other gathering places have heard about it. According to the statistics of the good deeds, the elites all expressed strong support for this, while the small people could not agree at all, which was exactly 1:3 ratio.

Fact

It's ......

“...... May I ask you, master, we really only need to strongly condemn what this noble lord has done, and that's all right?"

"That's right. Food and clothing, no need to leave this place or contact with anyone else, and your only job is to "lash out at the viscount from the bottom of your heart." Not satisfied, I can sell you back to the black market. ”

The slaves shook their heads and nodded again and again, and then opened their teeth and claws, and their saliva splashed loudly in the secret room to accuse you of choosing Tracey as the market manager.

The job is quite easy – eat and drink well, not be whipped or scolded, and even have pastimes such as picture books and leather balls. The problem is that they don't know why you chose Tracey, who to scold for, and why they want to condemn you.

The full support of all the forces is hoped to serve as a welcome gift to celebrate the resurrection of little Kyle.

Annette waited outside the door, and saw a few of you big people walking out of the secret room happily, shaking hands with each other and agreeing to talk in detail for another day, smiling goodbye...... Her mouth was wide open. "Uh, Lord, what's wrong?"

Voted - you answered.

Outside the door of the conference room, Ms. Sylvana looks back at you, as if she has something to say, but ultimately chooses to leave silently.

McKenna, who passed by you, took off her feather hat and bowed deeply to you: "Please forgive me, because I have a huge debt in the ancient city. ”

After saying this lightly, McKenna hung her head and disappeared into the endless crowd of people in the market. Since then, she has never returned to the Adventurer's Guild, and later you hear that she has been re-accepted by the Ancient City Market, and her life is safe, but she is still far from being free.

You have inadvertently saved the lives of two people.

The ancient city, as a small town famous for its slave trade ten years ago, even under the laws of the new era, has some "employment skills" far superior to those of other settlements, just like the cousin of the speaker, slavery, not necessarily a collar. Matthew wins back his freedom, and Tong Eun pays off his high debts, but not everyone is so lucky.

Always at the forefront of the enslavement of others, that is the essence of the ancient slave traders. Wuxiang Bay will also continue to be the head of money, dare to eat anything, and each historic settlement will have its own characteristics. For this, your lord auxiliary also has a plan.

Melanie wasn't going to argue with you at all, and she was sure that there was nothing wrong with what she was doing - with the first Dwarven blacksmiths moving in, she officially declared that the Labyrinth Village welcomed all sub-races recognized by the kingdom! In this future multi-racial settlement, any discrimination and persecution of subhumans will be severely punished, and other humanoids identified as non-evil will be allowed to enter and leave the village under the supervision of the guards.

The first sub-ethnic settlement in the kingdom.

Because of her administrative capacity, Melanie is able to implement policies much faster than you can, without the side effects of inflation and corruption. In her eyes, there are obvious optimal options for many things, and a large amount of money has been spent on the fine metal smelting and casting industry, and it will not be long before it can be built. Melanie urged the council to introduce a series of specific policies to facilitate trade as soon as possible, as a large number of foreign caravans would enter the area every day, and it would become more prosperous in the future. The size of the territory is related to the people, but the prosperity is related to logistics, and the kingdom is not developed in terms of logistics. If you continue like this, your territory will soon be the third economic hub in the kingdom.

The cooperation with the ancient city market is not empty talk at all.

As a local export specialty, Melanie focuses on monster materials. This wilderness is very ominous, no matter how you kill those goblins and orcs, the monsters in the dungeon are refreshed regularly, and other settlements don't have so many resources.

With the completion of the gilded heroic statue, the recruitment of new recruits for the Guard went very smoothly and morale was high. Wild adventurers still come and go, and few teams have settled here, but the number has increased significantly, and the council is also starting to recruit more adventurers. The mermaids in the man-made lake are raising fish, the centaurs of the plains are cultivating the land, and your territory is very stable. If anything......

Well......

The second floor of the dungeon is particularly difficult to conquer, and there has been little progress so far. Most of the adventurers go back and forth on the safer floor, and the next second floor is dead.

After the afternoon training, you stay in the territory. As long as you come to the territory, there will be a lot of people who will talk to you about it, and even some people will knock on the side to remind you to be careful of being taken away by Melanie, you look down at your missing fingers, and smile and say that you are not suspicious.

At dusk, a rare guest comes to you and salutes you respectfully.

"Thank you, Lord Grower, for reclaiming the Adamantite Vein for us, a little thank-you is not a respect, and I hope to accept it with a smile. ”

"To tell you the truth, you are really terrible, my lord, so I buried an eyeliner by your side, there is no other malice, and it would be great if you could forgive me. We've done our best in the Gulf market, and it's going to end well, and then we'll move on to the Jackal-infested Northwest region, where there are plenty of opportunities for business and few power barriers. Gucheng Market has always advocated horizontal expansion rather than depth, and has also tried its best to avoid disputes with powerful powers. You, give me the creeps, and maybe that's the biggest reason why we decided to move to the Northwest instead of the South Island. ”

"The Ancient City Market will be happy to assist you at any time, but it is estimated that you will rarely be bothered to carry out your private commissions in the future. After all, the region is one south and one north, and the whip is beyond reach. ”

"In addition, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, I need to inform you in advance that "Adele" took the initiative to apply to return to the ancient city market to work, and I did not dig it up, let alone bury it. If you feel unhappy, we can refuse her, otherwise we will arrange an errand for her in management. Being able to survive in the Adventurer's Guild to this day without making a major mistake is enough to prove her ability. ”

"Well, then, I wish you eternal peace. "After the ancient city market manager bowed deeply to you, he turned around and said goodbye step by step, and entered the teleportation array.

Hathaway looked at the other party's departing back and muttered, "There is no longer any problem with the ancient city market." The interests of the territory, Melanie's constraints, and your deterrence, that man already sees you as the rear, so he dares to concentrate on the northwest frontier. Old fox. ”

"Well, isn't the quest a bit rewarding?" Annette opened several large boxes on the floor, thinking she had made a mistake. The manager of the ancient city market personally brought a personal commission, far more than expected, and probably an apology for the McKenna incident. It's all things that are hard to buy even if you have money.

You assigned the equipment.

Left it on its own

"Transcendent Mind Headband" A gorgeous headband adorned with countless small white gems that will give you +6 for your intelligence, perception and charisma, and fully work after 24 hours. The market price is 14,400 gold.

"Extreme Fitness Belt" Strength, Agility and Constitution +6, market price 14400 gold.

The Bracer of Defense Invisible Force Field provides the physical defense of heavy armor and cannot stack with other armor. The market price is 6400 gold.

Gave it to Annette

The bland white robe of the "Archmage Robe" has a market price of 7,500 gold, and if worn by a good arcane caster, it can provide the physical defense of medium armor, greatly increase spell resistance, increase immunity rate across the board, and slightly increase the penetration of magic resistance through enemies. If it is no longer in the good camp, this robe will only be harmful to the wearer. The market price is 7500 gold.

Instructor in the front row, "Mighty Belt" Constitution +6,3600g. "+3 Magic Shield" 2500g.

Melanie, Light Belt Agility +6,3600.

Julianne, Belt of Might: +6,3600 Gold.

Hathaway patted Annette lightly on the face: "It doesn't hurt, it's really a dream." It's not logical, merchants don't pay so much to recapture a vein of adamantite gold!"

No

Logically, of course. You vividly remember triggering the curse when you chose "Prioritize the Adamantite Vein issue, then defend it". Whether or not you can use the cursed blade for your own purposes may be the difference between a swordsman and a sword master.
