There was a strange silence in the room.

William took a few deep breaths before calming down and said in a deep voice, "Are you sure you can just ask for money?"

"Of course, I worked hard to build, not for money, why?" Li Mo said with a smile.

"I actually lost at the hands of a vulgar person who only knows money. William's heart was boiling, and after a while, he took the pen and paper handed by Li Mo, and wrote down a string of numbers with a brush.

Li Mo took a look, suddenly frowned, looked at William, and then at the numbers, and couldn't help but say in a cautious tone:

"Hey, I want gold pounds!"

"I'm writing gold pounds too!" William replied coldly, and then wrote his name and a code word under the number.

In the end, he pinched his fingertips again, smeared a trace of blood on the handwriting, and then handed it to Li Mo, and said indifferently: "Give it to Hussein, he will understand." ”

Li Mo took the letter suspiciously and stared at the string of numbers.

The paper reads: ransom 30,000 gold pounds!

In this world's price system, 1 silver eagle coin can buy ten rye bread and a bottle of inferior wine. In other words, the poor can barely survive one day with 1 silver eagle.

Federal exchange rate: 100 silver eagles, equal to 1 gold pound.

Then a small, delicate and attractive federal gold pound can make a poor person barely live for more than three months.

The kobold miners are in the Yuexi Mine Cave, getting up early and mining at night every day, and their monthly salary is 80 silver eagles. The monthly salary of the supervisor of the Yuexi mining area is 10 gold pounds.

30,000 gold pounds can make 30,000 poor people live for more than three months, and 40,000 miners can work hard for a month.

Since William was able to write this ransom, it proved that Hussein must be willing to pay the ransom. In other words, William's worth is far above the 30,000 gold pounds.

Li Mo felt that William might be a big fish, but he didn't expect it to be such a big fish!

With these 30,000 gold pounds, the construction of Xijing City will be greatly developed and improved. In addition, the production of the mines, as well as the armor weapons, mounts, relics, etc., collected after the battle, is another sum of money.

With money, there are materials, and there are people.

A large number of materials, a large number of people, will enter Xijing City.

Li Mo can imagine the scene where materials are piled up, in full swing, the whole people are building, and they are booming.

He raised the note in his hand, looked at William and said, "You give me a token, I can only send this ransom letter to Razor Ridge, not Hussein." ”

"No way!"

William said categorically, "You must deliver it to Hussein, or if others learn that I am captured, not only will they not send a ransom, but they will also take the opportunity to eradicate me." ”

"Oh?" Li Mo's heart suddenly became interested, and he looked at William, "I am becoming more and more curious about your identity, and I can judge from your tone that Hussein is not your superior, but your subordinate." ”

William kept his mouth shut, just accentuated his tone, and said, "If you want to get these 30,000 gold pounds, do as I say." Otherwise, neither you nor I will end well. ”

Li Mo groaned slightly.

If it weren't for William's being too valuable, if it weren't for William's identity being a razor ridge nobleman, Li Mo really wanted to stuff a fruit of faith for him and let him reveal the truth.

But soon Li Mo rejected the idea.

The fruit of faith is not a powerful omnipotence, and only low-level races can be occupied by the will of obedience, thus affecting loyalty.

William is a transcendent, with a strength between quasi-transcendent and elite transcendental, much stronger than Banba. And he is a razor ridge nobleman with a solid faith. Such a character is naturally protected by the gods.

If you forcibly feed a fruit, you will definitely attract the hostility of the "Ancient God". That kind of terrible consequence is something that the entire Xijing City cannot afford.

"How can you find Hussein?" asked Li Mo.

"The base on the left side of Razor Ridge, the 'Burning Blade Fortress', is Hussein's territory. William said, taking off a small gold ring as small as a fingernail behind his ear, and handing it to Li Mo, "Send it to the 'Burning Blade Fortress' together, and the ransom can be successfully completed." ”

"Good. ”

Li Mo smiled and took the thin gold ring, "Then I wronged you to stay here for a few days, and when the ransom arrives, you can leave safely." ”

William didn't want to say anything more about this shame and closed his eyes.

...............

The townhouses on the left and right sides of the Liberty Lakeside Tavern, each of which is occupied by various organizations or forces with backgrounds, serve as the contact point for the entire Three Ridges Land, as well as a black market trading point.

Razor Ridge, Treading Wind Ridge, and Sentinel Ridge, as the largest area outside the Xifeng City-State, have been smoked for hundreds of years. The existence of the Sweet Water Oasis makes this area have a very valuable development space.

But no matter which race, even the Sentinel Ridge with its back to Xifeng City, it could not reach the strength to dominate the land of the Three Ridges. So with this trend of centuries-old strife, many organizations have taken root in the Liberty Lakeside Tavern, drawing on a steady stream of benefits and intelligence.

At this moment, outside a conference room opened by two houses, several warriors with a full set of personal chain armor patrolled back and forth in the corridor outside the house.

These warriors are all yellow-skinned, and the inlaid bronze plaque in front of the door also has the words "Iron Horse Brotherhood" written on it, indicating that this is the stronghold of the organization protected by the "Mother Earth Goddess".

In the room, Lin Jie, who was dressed in a light-colored robe, closed his eyes slightly, sat on a wide chair made of ancient wood carvings, and listened to the intelligence report of Lao Bi opposite.

“...... Our Brotherhood, the Forge Workshop, Arsenal, Grain Workshop, Exchange, Herb and Alchemy Workshop, etc., in Xifeng City, continue to decline this month's income......"

“...... According to the analysis of the intelligence in the city, Baron Tyrone of Sentinel Ridge intends to continue to secretly dispatch troops to Treading Wind Ridge, secretly assisting the panda people, trying to stir up the troubled waters of the Sweetwater Oasis War and grab more benefits from it......"

"Another ......"

Lao Bi paused when he said this.

Lin Jie opened his eyes slightly, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

Lao Bi shook his head, pointed to a line of small words at the end of the intelligence, shook his head and said: "General Hussein of Razor Ridge unexpectedly took over the task of transporting minerals and grains, and dispatched the 'Blood Erosion Fangs' detachment to accompany him to defend and suppress the werewolf supply channel. ”

Speaking, swallowing his saliva, Lao Bi said suspiciously: "Hussein, leading more than a hundred elite werewolf cavalry, has entered the range of the Yuexi mining area...... Among them is the 'Blood Erosion Fang'...... Our new friend, Li Mo, is in a very dangerous situation......"

A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Jie's eyes: "Why did you say it now?"

“...... The Brotherhood's intelligence division of the Yuexi Mining Area is the lowest level......" Lao Bi said with embarrassment, "At this time, the Yuexi Mining Area is likely to have been destroyed...... I just got the news......"

"Ridiculous!"

Lin Jie slapped the chair suddenly, stood up with anger, paced in the room, and said in a deep voice: "A yellow-skinned person with no background, who has the ability to build a city wall in a short period of time, and a young man with pioneering ambitions, has actually been forgotten by the Intelligence Department! Ignored by the Intelligence Department! This is a serious dereliction of duty!"

Lao Bi lowered his head and said, "Boss Lin, the intelligence department is not under our control, so ...... But it's too late now, judging by the time, Hussein should have taken over the Moon Creek mine in full, and that new friend of ours is likely on the run...... Or already ......"

He didn't go on, "or have been defeated and died......

Under the attack of the elite werewolves of Razor Ridge, with the personal command of General Hussein, it is impossible for the Yuexi mining area to withstand it, this is an iron-like reality.

"It is necessary to find out Li Mo's whereabouts and search and rescue as much as possible...... I hope he can live......" Lin Jie shook his head gloomily, he knew very well in his heart that in the face of a terrible opponent of Hussein's level, Li Mo was very likely to have been defeated and died.

A young man who has just met, interesting, and has potential, or a yellow-skinned person, was ignored and sacrificed in vain...... Lin Jie was very angry, but helpless.

"We have to rely on our own manpower. Lao Bi shook his head and said, "It is impossible for the Intelligence Department to continue to follow up on this, only our manpower ......."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door.

A warrior came in and said respectfully: "Boss Lin, there is a trade order from the Yuexi Mining Area." ”

"What?"

"What?"

Lin Jie and Lao Bi both turned around in extreme surprise.

"I'll take a look!" Lao Bi snatched the trade slip from the martial artist's hand, glanced at it, and was stunned for a moment, completely shocked.

"Boss Lin, Li Mo is completely victorious!" Hussein was defeated and fled...... Lao Bi swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and looked at Lin Jie with an unbelievable look.

"What?" Lin Jie immediately snatched the trade order, equally dumbfounded.

"How is this possible?"
