Volume 8 Rise of the Dead! Chapter 2 Utilization
Lan clenched the alchemy formula in his hand, and countless assumptions and possibilities filled his heart
It can be heard from the words of Hupandieu when he was dying, that he had cooperated with Rommels, but it seems that he failed in the end, and it is likely that this was the cause of the latter's death, although it is not clear what the truth is, but Luo Lan has included this inference in his heart as the greatest possibility. [No pop-ups.]
Luo Lan knows Rommels's character more than he knows himself, the latter does things spontaneously, never cares about the consequences, in his words, the biggest challenge is to resolve the crisis at the moment it comes, if everything is calculated in advance, then life is not too boring.
Contrary to him, Luo Lan is a person who thinks about everything in front, and he tries to minimize the danger factor before the threat can reach him, but it is undeniable that Romeles has had a certain influence in his heart, so that his veins will also burn with boiling and adventurous blood from time to time.
Luo Lan looked at the formula in his hand with a complicated expression, and he deeply felt that if it was for such a crazy and illusory goal, Rommels, who had always regarded life as a game, would indeed do it.
Although the feasibility of this recipe has not yet been confirmed, even if it falls into the hands of any alchemist, he will think that some madman made it up, and then sneer and throw it into the pot.
But Luo Lan witnessed an alchemist risk his life for this, which made him have to believe in the truth.
If it succeeds, and if it is used properly, this is a recipe that is about to change the power and racial structure of the entire continent, no, not so much a recipe. That's not so much about creation.
Luo Lan withdrew the formula from the space ring, and he let out a long sigh. Rising and walking out of the room, in front of him was a narrow hallway, and the oblique light penetrated through the window opening, softly dispersing in it, making the junction of light and dark so obvious.
It was originally a lord's mansion, and the previous owner was a former shepherd, but he had been killed in the war with the Swamp Clans.
Of the fiefs that Ondorf kicked him, the mansion was the only building of a certain size.
It seems that we need to stay here a little longer.
He walked forward. Reaching the end of the hallway, he stood and stared at the heavy wooden door for a moment, then reached out and slowly pushed it open.
The curtain in the room was pulled up, obscuring most of the intrusion of light, and a figure could be faintly seen in the dim sight burying his head in his knees, curled up in the corner of the wall and motionless.
Luo Lan stepped into the room, he only took two steps before stopping, smiled slightly, and said, "The food I found for you." Are you still satisfied?"
The man's head moved slightly, and he slowly lifted it up. Under the loose hair, Stick's miserable white face was revealed, and he didn't speak, but smiled weirdly at Luo Lan and licked his lips, obviously unsatisfied.
A dangerous and fierce aura emanated, and Luo Lan didn't seem to care, just said lightly: "There will be more." ”
Sticker tilted his head, and his dead fish-like eyes, surrounded by dark circles, suddenly revealed a sense of longing.
Luo Lan looked into his eyes, smiled deeply, and said, "Soon." ”
He said no more. Slowly exit the door.
A hurried sound of footsteps came from the other end of the hallway, and Sam hurried over, and respectfully handed over a scroll of letters, firmly tied with a belt: "Master, you believe it." ”
Luo Lan took it calmly. Over the years, Sam has shown his aptitude for money management and stewardship, and is now the steward of the Lord's Mansion. The clothes are also very decent, and his hair is combed shiny, and he can hardly see the embarrassment when he met Luo Lan in the first place......
Luo Lan untied the belt, gently picked off the fire paint on it with his nails, unfolded it, his eyebrows couldn't help but pick, and then, a smile slowly bloomed at the corner of his mouth, he quickly rolled up the sheepskin again, and said, "What else is there besides faith?"
"Ten wooden boxes, but master, I haven't dealt with them without your permission. Sam lowered his head and put his hands at his sides, respectfully.
"Who else knows about this?"
"Apart from me, only Miss Sherlyn, the Prayer Counselor, was present. Sam's head hung lower and lower, "Master, we can't be sure if there is something special in it, so we have to ask her to come out and use the psychic detection technique to check it out." ”
Luo Lan bowed slightly, and said, "You did the right thing, Sam, hide all the boxes in the cellar, remember, don't talk about this to anyone." ”
"Yes, master!" Sam hesitated, as if he had something else to say.
Luo Lan glanced at him and said, "What's the matter?"
Sam looked left and right and whispered, "Yes."
A mercenary team of about fifty men has come to the master's territory, and their captain wants to talk to you about it. ”
"Oh?" Luo Lan's eyes flashed with an imperceptible sneer, "Where are the people?"
Sam whispered, "He's waiting in his study right now." ”
—
Luo Lan looked at it and waved his hand, and Sam retreated with interest.
Luo Lan stood there and thought for a moment, then walked out of the corridor, and at the turn he saw at a glance that Xi Jiesi was standing there faithfully, her golden hair was coiled up, her body was standing straight, and her whole person was like an awe-inspiring ice rose. Seeing Luo Lan coming over, she put one hand on her chest and saluted respectfully, "My lord." ”
Luo Lan was the most satisfied with this knight, he showed a smile and said, "Knight Xijiesi, I'm going to see someone, you come with me." ”
"Yes, sir!" replied Cedar solemnly, her cold appearance showing no fluctuations.
Luo Lan walked towards a corner that was not easy to notice. Although he had only been in the lord's mansion for a few days, he had a great memory and professional habits to remember all the terrain and routes clearly.
He pushed open a half-hidden door, and a row of tall bookshelves stood against the wall in the spacious room, and a man sat in a cold wooden chair next to the desk, looking a little uneasy.
The man had curly, thick blonde hair on his head, deep-set eyes, thin lips, and a little immaturity in his eyes, despite being in his twenties.
"I'm Pusenk, the leader of the Ling Xianghua Mercenary Regiment. When he saw someone come in, he stood up abruptly, his face tense.
Luo Lan smiled slightly, made a gesture to signal the other party to sit down, and sat down on the opposite side of the table.
Pusenke was slightly nervous, and said, "Is it the lord?" Although he had already guessed the identity of the other party after seeing Xijiesi, he couldn't help but ask.
After receiving an affirmative answer, he didn't dare to look at Luo Lan, but moved his gaze to his toes, and said like an endorsement: "Our strength is okay, although we only met more than fifty people by chance." But all of them are strong and strong, we bring our own weapons and horses, we don't need any equipment from the lord, we just need to ......"
"Wait," Luo Lan interrupted him with a frown, "Captain Psenck, you don't seem to have explained your intentions yet?"
Pusenke was slightly stunned, he looked at Luo Lan in surprise, and after a while, he showed doubts: "What, you don't know yet?"
Luo Lan shrugged and said, "What do I know?"
Pusenck glared at him and said, "The new lord of Brimma is rich and rich, he was once a rich nobleman, but there is not a decent private soldier in the territory to protect him, my God, my lord, now the news is spreading throughout the Sedaon Heights, there are already some bandit groups ready to move, don't you know? I ......" He folded his hands and pressed his chest and said, "I am here to protect you, my lord." ”
"Protect me?" Luo Lan looked at him in surprise.
"Yes," Pusenk nodded vigorously, " I am a nobleman, with a few companions leading a team of fifty swordsmen, we are all swordsmen who believe in the god of light, originally heard that Sedaon was engaged in a holy war, so we sold our land and property to respond to the call of the Lord, but when we came here, we found that the war was over, we had to live, and we had to be honored, so I hope that the adults will understand us and let us stay, of course, just pay a small honorarium, and we will be rewarded. ”
He doesn't seem to know how to negotiate business with people, and he confesses all his details in one go.
Luo Lan asked curiously, "But why don't you go to the Knight of Ondor?" I think he is more suitable for you than me, and has a much better chance of gaining honor and money. ”
Pu Senke shook his head and said, "The honor he can give us will not be much more than what we have received in the mainland. So we just want to make some money and try our luck in the free city-states, and in this regard, I believe that the lord needs us the most right now. ”
"Understood," Luo Lan nodded, and said, "I can hire you, as for the amount of honorarium, you need to show your own strength to prove it." ”
Pusenke nodded confidently and said, "You can rest assured of this." ”
Luo Lan smiled: "You must know that there should be many people who have the same idea as you now. ”
Not to be outdone, Pusenck said: "There will be no shortage of robbers on the highlands either. In his eyes was the blood of a young man and the fearlessness of a newborn calf.
