Chapter 130: Spontaneers

The mere possibility of eternal life can make people crazy, and scholars who have always been known for their calmness are no exception.

The latest news about Bran has returned, which has put scholars off the temptation to take advantage of it. They decided to reach an agreement with Bran as soon as possible, and then immediately block the news. The fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better.

Bran's request is not a problem for scholars. In the eyes of scholars, this is a fairly fair deal. Bran showed strength that gave him the right to enjoy fairness. Since it is fair, the conspiracy to calculate these potentially transactional behaviors should be put aside for the time being. On the premise of fairness, the negotiation with Bran became the easiest thing to do.

What is now a headache for scholars is the issue of internal balance. Who goes and who doesn't? Radical and conservative still need to be coordinated. But all this did not affect the initial preparations, the allocation of materials was arranged, and the books on geography and history that Bran had requested began to be copied.

......

Bran sat in the Northlands, unaware that he was eligible for fairness. At this point, he stared blankly at Pachu and Tiri, listening to their pleas. They asked for Bran's forgiveness, for Bran's mercy.

Request, Bran never asked for anything. He just wished, hoped that there was a little fairness here, a little chance. Even if he had some small calculations, it was only opportunistic under fairness. Now there are people asking for Bran, hoping to get it once, and they have never given it to others.

"Is it possible?" Bran asked with a sneer. Or do you think I'm good and deceitful, so you've come to ask for my mercy?

I know the rules of your duel, and the winner is justice. Go back, if you lose your wealth, you must have the consciousness of failure, I hope you can face up to your identity as a loser, and there will be no next time. ”

Anya and his allies are not used to failure, and even want to get by by by pulling the skin. Unfortunately, this is not their home turf. After the defeat, they ushered in a backlash. They were completely isolated in Grimm's capital, unable to move an inch.

The situation has become clear, and the nobles have come forward to denounce the atrocities and incompetence of the Anyya. This time Bran finally became a positive image, he is a hero who is not afraid of ** and turns the tide in people's mouths. Even the royal family stood up and expressed their admiration for Bran.

All kinds of kindness and help began to appear around Bran. The nobleman sent him a message as a friend, telling him about the misery of the Anya people.

Bran classified the two sides and Sandstone City as his private property, and everyone acquiesced to it. Strong support was expressed for Bran to sweep the bipartite mountain and rid it of bandits. Even when he learned that Bran was in dire need of manpower, he started a slave business with Bran. Knowing that Bran needed food, they said they would sell it to Bran's territory. It's all about the friendship between the two sides, and hopefully this friendship will last for a long time.

For the first time, Bran sent something for friendship, and he did not refuse it, because he understood that it was a vote. The real deal is yet to come, and that's when both parties follow the rules of the deal.

Mary was probably the happiest of all, and at this point she finally had the air of a great butler, and she always had a smile on her face as she watched the old warehouses be piled up and new ones began to be built. Bran temporarily assigned a few other bored Northlanders to her, hoping that it would allow her to visit the warehouse a few times......

......

Jonah returns to Northland and informs Bran that the scholars agree to his request. This surprised Bran a little, could these scholars be crazy and have been able to overcome the instinctive desire to survive?

Whatever, since scholars are not afraid of death, Bran will not stop him. But there had to be protection, and he proposed that scholars should build a small fortress on the road to Sandstone City. When the construction is complete, he will arrange for people to garrison it.

Unexpectedly, Jonah agreed without hesitation.

The overly cheerful reply made Bran feel that something was wrong, but he didn't understand what was wrong for a while. simply stopped entanglement, and happily reached a preliminary intention. After all, this is my own land, and I believe that nothing can escape my own control.

Since the other party showed sincerity, Bran also introduced the process of the generation of necromancy, and the accidentality. Bran said nothing about his magical powers, nor did he say anything about the deceased's connection to him. This kind of thing that involves one's own secrets, I believe that anyone will have reservations.

The scholars also did not expect Bran and Panto to reveal that their initial purpose was to obtain a permit to allow them to approach Sandstone City and conduct research on necromancy.

......

After Jonah and Bran reached an agreement, they started to work non-stop. He set up camps on the north and south sides of Sandstone City in an attempt to cordon off the area under the pretext of stopping the spread of the necromancers and keeping the area safe.

In the process of setting up the camp, they made an unexpected discovery. The scholar who died in Sandstone City appeared as the deceased. Attracted by his companion's actions, he came to the vicinity of the camp.

Upon hearing the news, Jonah hurried over and tried to communicate with him, but the deceased turned a blind eye to him.

This once little man finally gained unimaginable attention after his death, and all his information was sorted out and handed over to Jonah. Name – Madi, born in ......

So Jonah's communication began to progress, and he brought Madi's daughter, a 4 or 5-year-old child, here, in a cruel but effective way. In many cases, affection is the most effective means of communication or threat. Through this child, he learns that the deceased still retains most of his memories from his life, but not all of them.

He immediately reported the news back to the City of Wisdom.

......

While Jonah tries to communicate with the deceased, Bran listens to the deceased's voice. But when Bran listened, the old tree made his own opinion: "I don't like that over there. ”

This made Bran stunned for a moment, "Why?"

"They're so noisy, and I know you're not lying to me, they did die from the sound. ”

"Can you hear them?"

"Yes, when you're listening, I wonder what you're listening to?" the ancient tree shook its canopy excitedly, "I tried to listen too, and finally let me know what you're listening to." ”

"Is it just because they're too noisy that you don't like them?" Bran asked.

"They just disgust me. ”

Bran patted the ancient tree to signal that he understood.

......

While Bran was secretly observing the actions of the scholars, the Anya people, who had been left cold, finally recognized the situation. They are willing to pay a ransom for themselves and at the same time ransom the bodies of their companions. But it all takes time, and hopefully Bran will allow them to return home to prepare.

That's what Bran wants, and let Il and Mary get entangled with them about other specific things. So he let the Anya men go and allowed them to return to China to prepare. He was not afraid that the Anya people would not admit it, on the contrary, he would like the other party to do so. He's going to get out after all, and he's not going to get stuck in Northland. The more debts you owe him out there, the better, and these are the best excuses at the right opportunity.

It's just that what Bran didn't expect was that the Anya, who knew that they had nothing to do with him, targeted Green's royal family. Claiming that the Green royal family is the culprit of everything, they must pay for it. Upon hearing the news, Bran couldn't help but laugh out loud.
