Chapter 305: The human heart is vicious
Shaking to the end of the hug, Sophia hugged Xing Xiaotian tightly, and said happily in his ear: "It's good to see you." ”
The months in the gravel wasteland were the happiest time in Sophia's life, and her relationship with Xing Xiaotian was also a teacher and a friend, although there was a small unhappiness in the end, but it was just a relationship of position, and it did not hinder the friendship between the two.
Xing Xiaotian is not a very delicate person, but he can still hear the deep tiredness from Sophia's words, and knows that Sophia will definitely not have a very pleasant time during this time, so he gently patted her back and said, "This doesn't seem to be the place to talk, how about we change places?" ”
"Good!"
Just as a few people were about to turn around and leave, a fat man in a silk dress suddenly stepped in and smiled at Sophia: "Hehe, Sophia, let's choose a day to hit the sun, since we met here, do you think the debt you owe should also be settled?" ”
Sophia's face "Teng"
turned red all of a sudden, and when he opened his mouth, he was about to scold this fat man, but Xing Xiaotian stopped her first, and then turned his head to the fat man and smiled: "How much Sophia owes you is mine, ignore her, you just tell me!" ”
The fat man pinched his fingers and pretended to think for a while, then raised his head and smiled at Xing Xiaotian: "This lord, at first glance, you are a kind person, Ms. Sophia owes us a total of 168 gold coins for grain, you see your ......"
"Wow~! Crash~! ”
Before the other party's words fell, he was interrupted by a crisp sound, which was the sound of gold coins colliding.
Looking at the two leather bags that appeared out of thin air, everyone's breathing was heavy, and only those few people of insight focused their eyes on the ring on Xing Xiaotian's finger, and the gold coin was certainly moving.
But the storage ring on this man's hand is even more invaluable than a measure of its value.
Xing Xiaotian pointed to the two bags of gold coins and said: "Each bag here is a hundred gold coins, I think it is more than enough to pay for the signing, and I will bother you." Go and inform me that all the bills that Sophia owes can come to me to collect them. I'll spend the night at Sophia's tonight. ”
It's too easy to misunderstand, and besides, Sophia was originally a beauty, and immediately everyone showed a sudden realization, it turned out that Sophia's man outside came over, no wonder she was so generous.
Sophie Page originally wanted to accuse Xing Xiaotian, but as soon as she thought of the reality, the anger that had already reached her lips somehow swallowed back, and the only resistance she could express was to glance at Xing Xiaotian fiercely.
And comforted himself in his heart: "It is natural for the apprentice to repay the master's debts, who called him so rich." ”
You must know that Sophia has been coveting the gold mine of Xing Xiaotian for a long time, since she can't loot it openly, it is a disguised "loot"
It's okay to do it at once.
Until the group of four walked out of the tavern door, the fat man in silk did not recover from the shock, and his whole attention was absorbed in the two bags of gold coins, and he did not even know when the rude mercenaries came around.
"Bang~~Boom~~~"
"Fuck it!"
"Don't rob it, it's mine!"
"My, you let go!"
"Looking for death, aren't you?"
"My gold coins~~~"
Throw two little lambs into the wolves, and there is one that doesn't fight?
Xing Xiaotian seems to be generous.
In fact, you invisibly shaded the fat man in silk clothes, and you asked for an account in front of other guests, which is too faceless.
Who are you pitting if you don't pit you?
It is estimated that the fat man didn't expect Xing Xiaotian to be so generous, and he could actually return the money to him on the spot, if he had known...... He would definitely choose a safer place to ask for the account, but these had nothing to do with Xing Xiaotian, and with Sophia, the head snake, leading the way, the group of four soon came to a secluded hotel.
After sitting down one after another, Xing Xiaotian and Sophia asked in unison.
"Why do you owe so much money?"
"How did you come to the human city?"
"Didn't you plant the potatoes I gave you?"
"You don't want the camp in the Gravel Wasteland?"
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
The two shouted in unison to stop, there was no way to talk like this, and finally Xing Xiaotian showed a gentlemanly demeanor and said: "It's better for you to ask first!" ”
After listening to Sophia repeat the question just now.
Xing Xiaotian replied frankly: "The current Black Rock Tribe has now become Black Rock City, and I have no plans to come to the human realm to develop. To put it mildly, I'm still full of smooth lì in the gravel wasteland. But it's because the development is so smooth, that's why I was coveted by the Rhine royal family in the orc country, and I'm here to find a rescue this time! ”
After Xiao Tian finished explaining, Sophia immediately smiled wryly and said, "Looking for rescuers here?" Are you sure you're not kidding? ”
"What? Hard? ”
"It's hard, it's very hard, it's almost impossible!"
Sophia's categorical words made Xing Xiaotian stunned, but he believed that Sophia didn't need to lie to himself.
Listening to Sophia's continued narration, Xing Xiaotian realized what a chaotic situation the Kordo Wasteland was.
To put it simply, the Cordo Wasteland is to the Blazing Empire what the Gravel Wasteland is to the Orc Empire, which is a buffer, in other words, it is a three-way zone, although a city-state has been erected here, but there is no official ruler, it is completely a loose structure.
Exiled nobles, down-and-out samurai, fugitive criminals, adventurers, thieves, mercenaries...... These are the main forces that make up Rock City, and if you want to gather these people together to deal with the orc legion, and also help Xiao Tian block the gun, it is by no means an ordinary difficulty!
Before there was a better way, Xing Xiaotian could only turn his head to Sophia and ask, "Tell me about you, why are you so miserable now, what about the potato seeds I gave you?" ”
Not to mention that the potato seeds are okay, as soon as the potato seeds are said, Sophia's face immediately appeared a look of sadness and indignation, first for a long time speechless, and then a long sigh as the opening of the white field: "Hey~~~~ I thought that these potato seeds brought back could save the food crisis in the Kordo wilderness, but I was wrong, I was wrong to underestimate the greed and selfishness of human beings......"
The next words came slowly from Sophia's mouth, and according to her, as soon as she returned, she went to the "Supreme Governor" of Rock City
Aidan.
Gillen, her original intention was to figure out Guò Aidan.
Gillen spread the potato crop as fast as he could, and at first Aidan did.
Ji Lun promised to do well, and even said that he would present the noble glory of the Sophia family to the Empire...... And then that's just over a year, Aidan.
Gillen did not cultivate potatoes without farming, he cultivated potatoes on a large area on his private estate, and then the day after the harvest...... All of them were destroyed, and not even the roots and seedlings were left.
This seems to be a paradoxical explanation: how can the seeds of high-quality crops be deliberately damaged if there is a shortage of food?
However, just know Aidan.
How did Ji Lun sit on the throne of the city lord, it is not strange that qiē, without him~ it is just food.
Aidan.
Ji Lun himself is just an iron-blooded powerhouse, and he is a captain in the orc country, but behind him stands the largest chamber of commerce in the Blazing Empire, the Green Chamber of Commerce!
At the same time, the Green Chamber of Commerce is also the largest trade object in Rock City, the Green Chamber of Commerce will continue to transport food into Rock City, and at the same time take away a large number of precious furs, as long as the food crisis in Rock City exists for a day, many strong people in Rock City have to look up to Aidan.
Gillen, without the Green Chamber of Commerce behind him, everyone would have to go hungry.
In turn, once the food crisis is lifted, then Aidan.
Gillen or what?
Not even bullshit!
When the time comes, no one will have to look up to his snort and live!
So, in order to maintain the status quo, for the sake of his own dominance, Aidan.
Gillen has just played a desperate trick!
Hearing this, Xing Xiaotian couldn't help but think of a classic quote he saw in the book: What is more terrifying than ghosts and gods is the human heart!
