Chapter 30: The Mayor's Reception
Early the next morning, Lin Pan accepted an official invitation from the mayor of the town, Barmi Russell, to his mansion in the middle of the town.
Being invited to the mansion by the lord, for the ordinary lords of Yanbi Town, this is a great honor, Lin Pan was born in the new society and grew up under the red flag, although there is not such a serious feudal concept of dignity and inferiority, but out of basic etiquette, he is also neatly dressed and energetic.
After advancing to Panshi, his appearance and physique have changed a lot, and he recently ate Luo Dou, which was blessed by the net of luck, and his originally thin figure was quickly wrapped in a layer of muscles, which was enough to support the brand-new wolf skin bust.
This is a set of armor that Bender has just finished maintaining with Peter, the cobbler, and as he grows in size, he can't fit it anymore, so he naturally doesn't hesitate to give it to Lin Pan as a gift for advanced Panshi.
In the mirror, he is no longer a weak young man, he is tall and tall, and his spirit is magnificent. The hair that was originally messy has been repaired and reconstructed, and it looks much sharper.
Minna waited at the door with two team members, she was responsible for leading Lin Pan into the town lord's mansion, and when she saw Lin Pan going out, she couldn't help but look up and down, and her beautiful eyes had a little more brilliance.
"Kunde, yes, yes, why didn't you find you so handsome before?" she deliberately reached out and pinched Lin Pan's shoulder, her fingertips returning the elasticity of her muscles.
Although Bender had already gone to the training ground at this time, Lin Pan was still a little embarrassed, and he really didn't know how to answer this kind of words.
"Thank you... You're beautiful too..."
Lin Panzheng'er replied politely, and what he said was not all polite words.
Minna was obviously dressed up carefully today. Delicate makeup, a set of blue tight-fitting armor is beautiful and lively, and the carved patterns on the hollow metal sheet are quite exquisite, and they refuse to waste any more materials, which can cover the key parts. The small leather skirt tightly wraps the round and straight TUN part, revealing the slender and white thighs, which makes people reverie.
After becoming a Panshi, his physique was greatly strengthened, and the young man's blood was strong in the early morning, Lin Pan just looked at it a few more times, and he felt that his body was "alienated" uncontrollably.
"Damn, be honest, she's your future sister-in-law!" Lin Pan had to remind the little brother.
"What do you say, where am I not being honest?" the box haunted and protested solemnly. ”
"It's not that you ......"
Feeling that Lin Pan's walking posture was wrong, Minna saw a little clue, and she didn't break it to avoid more embarrassment, but her pretty face was dyed with two patches of crimson. When walking briskly, there seems to be an electric current flowing between the legs.
=============================
"Welcome, new hero of Rock Cliff!"
Mayor Bami Russell gave Lin Pan a hug and buttoned up a big hat as soon as they met.
This little old man looks kind, he doesn't have any shelves, but the bald head like a light bulb is a little funny, Lin Pan wants to laugh but doesn't dare to laugh.
When he hugged him just now, Lin Pan felt the terrifying oppression from the other party, as well as the incomparable majesty - although it was only for a short moment, there was still a huge sense of powerlessness in his heart.
"That's fine, knowing the gap, your tail won't be cocked to the sky. Although the other party is old, he is the contractor of the town-level Pan Beast after all. The treasure spider said, and Lin Pan thought so.
The mayor's mansion is very large, in addition to the main building, it is also divided into front and back yards, left and right halls, and there are many servants, but Lin Pan still feels a twilight-like atmosphere from the old degree of the building and the withering of the plants.
Walking into the depths of the forest, a courtyard suddenly appeared, and the old mayor led Lin Pan in.
An old man sat in a chair in the center, dressed in a dark robe, with long snow-white hair, and exposed skin as withered as rotten wood, apparently very old.
"Hello, old man!" As soon as he looked at the other party, Lin Pan bent down and bowed deeply, he didn't know the identity of the other party, but respecting the old and loving the young is a traditional virtue, and it can't be forgotten when you cross it.
The other party smiled and nodded slowly. Lin Pan noticed that his movements were extremely slow, but there was an indescribable heaviness in his gestures.
Who is he?
Lin Pan was secretly surprised, he felt that the other party had an extremely terrifying power, even far surpassing Mayor Bami Russell.
It's the kind of power that can crush itself into powder if you separate a little.
It's all here, and the mayor doesn't sell it, and his words are amazing:
"Remember, his name is Midland, my old friend, and the town-level rock beast that represents Rock Wall Town, the Rock Turtle!"
What the??
Lin Pan was taken aback, this was the huge mountain-like rock turtle he saw at the beginning of the crossing?
It turns out that the Pan Beast is a highly intelligent creature, and after reaching the town level, it can use its "anthropomorphic form" to coexist with the contractor. What Lin Pan saw now was the anthropomorphic form of the rock turtle. It's just that this rock beast is quite old and barely speaks.
Though he was like dead wood, his breath was connected with the shaking of the earth.
Midland did not participate in the next conversation between the mayor and Lin Pan, and now his situation is basically in retirement, and he doesn't care about many matters in the town, and he doesn't have the energy to care.
"So I'm worried about the future of Rock Wall, but it's good that you showed up. The mayor continued to take Lin Pan as he walked, chatting as he spoke.
According to him, because there was no alternative town-level Pan Beast, and the growth level of the Town Guard in the territory was seriously insufficient, so he had only connived at the scourge of scum like Chesky over the years. But now the situation around the town is becoming more and more complicated, and if Rock Wall Town continues to develop like this, it will be swallowed up by other towns sooner or later.
For example, like the nearby Hetan Town and Fog Marsh Town, the strength of these towns is far superior to that of Yanbi Town, and they are naturally eyeing the resources here.
"Is it so exciting? Can Yanbi Town ask the superior city-state to take care of it?"
"It's difficult, it generally doesn't interfere with management, even if the application for help is successful, it will take a huge amount of time to really implement it, and it will take a lot of time to sort out the forces behind the town and find a balance. Isn't that purely to find guilt for oneself? For the superior lords, the rock coin is the rock coin, and there is no distinction between relatives and distances. As long as the taxes are paid, whoever rules the villages and towns is the same. “
Lin Pan was silent, what a world where the weak eat the strong, and being weak is really a sin.
"Alright, let's finally meet my daughter who just came home, Sophia Russell. It's beautiful!" Spare a big circle, Lin Pan saw the woman who looked like Su Nianqing at the gate, the other party was obviously very dissatisfied with the mayor's request to stay and wait for Lin Pan, and a pair of beautiful eyes were staring at his face, with impatience in his eyes.
Then, worthy of the mayor of a town, Bami Russell's final summary is quite standard: "I hope you will work together to build a better tomorrow for the town of Rock Wall." ”
