Chapter 148 Protection Fees
As the half-demon warriors gradually mastered the demon qi, the degree of integration between them and the demon qi also reached an extremely high level.
It can almost be counted as the king of demons.
And the equipment to restrain the half-demon warriors is essentially to disrupt the warriors' control of the demonic energy, and on the basis of their original need to constantly resist the erosion of demonic energy, they put down the last straw to form this special constraint.
Therefore, when the demonic energy is tamed, this kind of equipment is naturally useless.
When the people here saw that the equipment failed, they were naturally shocked and inexplicable, and began to fear the power of the half-demon warriors.
"Don't worry, at least I don't want to kill you for now."
A smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Qing's mouth, "I said that I came here just to discuss a business with you." ”
"Business?" The people present immediately nodded, "If the business is good, just talk about business." ”
The old man who spoke at the beginning walked out tremblingly: "I just don't know what business Your Excellency wants to discuss?" ”
"The business of killing demons."
Zhang Qinglang Langlang said, "One is all-inclusive, and the other is collected by capitation." ”
"All inclusive, that is, you pay a sum of money, and we will kill all the demons in the entire city to ensure that there will be no more demons within a certain period of time."
"And by the head, then we will kill a demon, bring their head, and you will pay a demon."
Hearing Zhang Qing's words, everyone present was stunned.
"Collect money...... You have to collect money for killing demons! The old man's voice was full of anger, and the tone was high, and he looked incredulous, "Isn't killing demons what they half-demons should do?" ”
"That was before, and now you have to collect money."
Zhang Qing laughed coldly.
Shengmien fights Mi Hate, the former half-demon warriors selflessly dedicate themselves to killing demons, but the people who have been sheltered still look at them with hatred.
But now, if you need to collect money to kill demons, what kind of attitude will they have?
Since the free one is still disliked, then it is expensive to let people know that such security does not come in vain.
The people in the hall looked at each other and saw that this was indeed the only way to go.
People are swords, I am fish and meat, and the other party has a way to solve the current predicament, and they can only hold on.
"I just don't know, how much does it cost?"
The old man seemed to be the leader of everyone present, and he was still the first to ask.
"It's easy to charge." A smile tugged at the corner of Zhang Qing's mouth, "One kilogram of gold for a demon, 10 kilograms of gold for a demon anomaly." ”
"If you want to cover it all, then 50 kilograms of gold will not only kill all the demons here, but also ensure that there will be no more demons here for a month!"
Zhang Qing's words made everyone present gasp, it was so expensive!
But his words were not yet said: "If you choose all-inclusive, then you can renew it every month in the future, 20 kilograms of gold a month, to ensure the safety of the city." ”
"Of course, if there is not enough gold, it can be paid for with other equivalent materials, but we have to recognize its value."
Zhang Qing's words made many people's faces turn pale, which means that there is only one road left for them to choose, if it is calculated according to the head alone, does it mean that people will die in the future, and these half-demon warriors will come?
This is a living protection fee!
But even so, they didn't dare to veto it like that.
The entire city has been completely paralyzed, and now it is ready to attack like a volcano, and if it weren't for the powerful monsters like the Guardians, the untouchables from outside would have rushed in and killed them.
Now food is starting to run short, medicine is starting to be scarce, and the only thing that is okay is probably drinking water.
But only drinking water is not permanent, and when the people outside collapse in fear, even if they need to face such a powerful existence as the Guardian, I am afraid they will not care at all.
Therefore, it is necessary to give people a hope, as long as they can kill the demons in the city, everything is negotiable.
Zhang Qing watched the people hurriedly walk out of the hall, as if they were going to discuss, so he found a random place to wait for them.
He could see that the two half-demons had a thousand words to say, but they seemed to have really handed everything over to him as they said, so they were also silent.
Zhang Qing was idle, so he approached them and explained to them why he did this.
"Actually, you don't have to say that." Liu Yin whispered, "Since everything is entrusted to you, you can decide for yourself what to do. ”
He smiled and didn't say much, and with a slight movement of his ears, he heard what was happening outside the distant city lord.
Someone began to be anxious about the inhabitants of the city, repeated his request, and finally demanded a certain amount of money from everyone.
Although it is a matter of life and death, not everyone has a reason to take out their wealth.
In this world, gold is still the most expensive type of currency, and a kilogram is at least the belongings of dozens of households.
Even if the whole city were to share the burden, it would be quite a heavy burden for a long time.
Some people think that so many people are here, what will happen if they really don't pay it, those rich officials and eunuchs definitely don't want to die, and maybe they will pay it all when the time comes.
As for other people, they have their own ideas, and there are not many who really want to pay.
Zhang Qing felt funny when he heard these discussions in the city lord's mansion, he really wanted money and didn't want his life, these officials and rich people are not good men and women, and these so-called gentry have often passed on all the losses assigned by the higher levels to the lower level of the people.
If these people would rather die than pay, I'm afraid these people might really let them die.
Sure enough, soon after, this group of bureaucratic tycoons saw that everyone was reluctant, and immediately began a showdown, and killed several rich people who could not go up or down, causing a lot of indignation.
However, they are also very smart, and they paid part of the money first, which makes everyone feel a lot better.
It's just that the corners of Zhang Qing's mouth twitched and he understood that he probably couldn't see the money they took out now, these were just introductions, and they would take it back by themselves before handing it over to themselves.
But it didn't matter, he retracted his hearing, and after waiting for most of the day, the group returned to the hall and placed a box of gold in front of him with a snort.
"50 kilograms of gold." The old man in the lead looked at Zhang Qing, "I hope I can get good news tonight." ”
"Hahaha, of course."
Zhang Qing put away the gold chest, ignored the eyes of the people in front of him who were almost staring, turned to Liu Yin and Dali and said, "Let's go, let's clean up those demons first." ”
Walking out of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Zhang Qing and the two half-demon warriors naturally received the hateful gaze of many people.
Dali was puzzled, didn't she return to the hostile environment before?
"Let's be a wicked person for a while, don't be too anxious." Liu Yin whispered softly in Dali's ear, and then looked at the private house on the side.
