Chapter 213: Rules for Yourself
Late at night, as the banquet in the hall drew to a close, the big businessmen who had received the answers and promises they wanted got up and took their leave, escorted back to their quarters by soldiers.
For them, it doesn't matter who becomes the ruler of the old town, what matters is whether their own interests can be safeguarded.
Clearly, Zhang Cheng, who came from a mercantilist and finance-capitalized society, knew exactly what the merchants wanted, and not only promised to keep ports and markets open, but also promised to reduce taxes for some time to come to compensate for the goods lost in the raid.
The merchant is the second most powerful group in the city besides the nobles, not only very wealthy, but also employs a large number of mercenaries, guards, and thugs, if they are supported, then the first port of Westeros will soon be restored to order and vitality, and at the same time, he can also settle down to study the magic of Valyria's blood and fire, as well as the Deadwood, the son of the forest, who was secretly imprisoned.
Of course, before that, he had to prove to the mercenaries who had sworn allegiance that he liked women......
"Earl, Miss Moroya has already returned to her bedroom first, and I have sent the drunken Miss Beth in, and I am sure you will have a wonderful evening today. Blanco teased with a playful face.
"You really have a heart. Zhang Cheng swept over the vassals in the living room who still refused to leave, and rolled his eyes angrily.
"Hahahaha, my lord, it is you who have given us the wealth, status, and power of these blood-licking mercenaries, so we are also willing from the bottom of our hearts to be loyal to you and your descendants forever. For the sake of the future of the Aspirin family, please try to have more children, even if they are illegitimate children. Blanco laughed as he dragged his lord into the bedroom and slammed the door shut.
Hearing all kinds of vulgar chatter and laughter coming from outside the door, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile and shook his head, turned his eyes to Mo Luoya, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, and Beth, who was lying next to her and was completely drunk, casually put the Demon Sword Soul Arrester on the weapon rack at the entrance, and then asked in a meaningful tone, "Dear Mo Luoya, are you ready?"
The latter did not hesitate to untie the ribbon and let the blouse slip off his shoulders, revealing a large area of snow-white and seductive skin, and replied with a smile: "Yes, ready, you can start enjoying the fruits of victory." ”
"Very good! But before I do that, I have something for you. As he spoke, Zhang Cheng took out the pocket watch that had been prepared for a long time and handed it forward.
Moment!
A dazzling light shot into Moroya's eyes, and she was completely defenseless, and her pupils quickly became dilated.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Cheng curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and whispered in the other party's ear: "From now on, Beth is me, you will kiss her, caress her, and do everything you want to do......"
Under the effect of the hypnotic pocket watch, Moroya's originally empty eyes were quickly filled with the fire of desire, turned around and gently stroked Beth's cheek, her breathing became more and more rapid, and finally she couldn't help but pounce and kiss the other party's soft lips frantically.
In less than a few minutes, the two women were re-enacting a scene that was very similar to that of a few hours ago, the only difference being that instead of wanting to kill each other, this time they were eager to get more pleasure from each other.
As one of them was hypnotized and the other drunk, they didn't pay any attention to it, and it wasn't long before fierce gasps and moans came out through the crack in the door.
When the few guys hiding outside heard this, they all showed satisfied smiles, hooked their shoulders and disappeared at the end of the corridor, planning to go out to find a woman to vent.
After confirming that the people outside the door were all gone, Zhang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and just as he was about to do some research to pass the long night, he suddenly heard the low hoarse voice of the magic sword in his ears: "Master, I don't understand, why don't you go and enjoy the afterglow of the flesh?"
"Hmph, why should I be dominated by such low-level desires?" asked Zhang Cheng without looking back.
After a few limited exchanges, he had come to know the character of the Soul Bringer, who was tempting the wielder to fall into the dark side forever.
"No, desire is the most essential thing that comes from the human soul. It can be power, it can be happiness, it can also be the driving force for the development of civilization, you should not restrain your desire at all, but you should embrace it, only by releasing your instinct and nature, can you understand your true self, in order to gain more powerful power. Magic Sword retorted solemnly.
"I don't deny that what you say makes sense, but keep in mind that everyone chooses a different path and therefore faces different dilemmas.
First of all, I don't know how strong my will is and whether I can resist the power of feelings.
You must understand that there is a saying in my hometown, which is that people can be ruthless unless they are grass and trees. It means that people are not plants, no matter how cold and ruthless they are, they will have more or less one or two relatives or friends who care about them.
Think about it, if one day the enemy takes advantage of this weakness against me, should I abandon those I care about and let the pain and guilt accompany me for the rest of my life, or should I give my life for my loved ones and friends like the heroes of the tragic story?
No, I won't choose either!
My choice was to keep my distance and not cross the boundaries of ordinary friends with anyone, so that I wouldn't be really sad even if someone threatened me.
Secondly, perhaps in your eyes, having a relationship between a man and a woman is a trivial matter, an act of reproduction and entertainment for human beings. But you are not unaware that many times, physical relationships extend to the spiritual level, giving birth to a subconscious mutual trust and dependence. For me, this kind of trust and dependence is fatal, it interferes with my judgment, so I want to avoid it as much as possible.
Finally, and most importantly. I'm destined to be a passerby, a traveler who travels through different worlds, and if I have too much affection for a place, how long do you think I can survive this dangerous game?"
Zhang Cheng crossed his hands to support his chin, and unabashedly said the rules he set for himself, or his style.
He looked into the eyes of the two naked ** people on the bed, there was no lust at all, and the calmness was chilling.
The magic sword was silent for a full five minutes, and finally commented in a tone without a trace of emotion, "You have chosen an extremely difficult path for yourself. I have followed countless masters, and none of them have been able to do it, and perhaps it is this that led to their deaths. I think this time, you can surprise me......"
