Chapter 125: To be old and not to die is to be a thief
Andrew's MLM continued to continue, and the merchants in Vadan City were stunned, and the shouts were estimated to be heard in Haimeng City, hundreds of miles away.
But Mu Yan couldn't help but scratch his head a little.
This is not the same as saying good......
Although in terms of method, it is not too much, but in terms of formation, this is completely a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu that suddenly makes the promised underground love affair public, and it also mobilizes the whole village to hold a grand wedding......
This old guy wants to release my pigeons? Is this the kind of being deceived by others?
Our scholars can't help but squint their eyes.
In the original plan, or deal, the duties of both parties were as follows: Mu Yan provided Andrew with enough money - the wealth that came from Belica. The latter, as he said, bought a batch of ferry tickets from others at a high price, and then went up to a group of people to do things like Lu Ziming crossed the river.
Mu Yan didn't plan to let those guys who got on the boat listen to him, as long as they could cause trouble on the boat. In other words, they are the "wingmen" of Mu Yan's team.
In the past, when the Nagfar passed through the Nashal Valley in front of the city gate of Vadan, the Wadan people gathered outside the city to laugh and joke, and there was a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu when Peking University held a sports meeting and the students of Tsinghua University carried small benches to watch the play. Occasionally, one or two unlucky people who board from Vadan will be given a free and grand farewell ceremony, though that would be a mockery. This time, such a large number of passengers suddenly appeared from the city of Vaddan, and as long as Hablon was not a fool, he would definitely check them one by one, and his identity and background would be problematic at that time.
Only the rusty water chaebol has such strength: as the head snake of the land, they can gather a large number of rich people with clean identities in a short period of time, and then assign a spokesperson at will, such as the unpopular ones such as the next nephews, and then bring a group of mercenaries who want money and don't want their lives, dress up as normal passengers, and maybe make up one or two stories of "don't bully the poor boy", which is enough to get on the boat with Mu Yan to muddy the water and make it easier for him to fish.
The above is Mu Yan's idea, there is a style of students secretly forming a group to plan cheating before a major exam.
Can Andrew's behavior ......
This is already a boycott of the exam, he not only incited a large number of students, under the banner of "we refuse to take the exam" and stood on the opposite side of the school, but also threatened to bomb the school!
This is really in line with the hearts of the majority of students......
Is he really not afraid of his own secret actions? Mu Yan was puzzled, before he let the leader of the consortium come to power just now, he made it clear that he had done something to the other party, and hoped that he would be more cautious when speaking.
So he got himself right and bullied?
And most importantly, this is too skillful, like rehearsing countless times in advance, is such a provocative speech really improvised?
Terrible.
β¦β¦
When Andrew walked down, he handed Mu Yan a slightly calm look, and then led the three of them into the house.
He still didn't have a guard, and even the bald uk was stopped from trying to follow.
"Mr. Mu Yan." Andrew wiped his forehead slowly, he was fully engaged in the speech just now, and he also sweated a lot.
"I guess you have something to say, right?"
Mu Yan said lightly: "It's better to give Mr. Andrew the opportunity to speak, so as not to waste time." β
"It's okay, I'm also afraid that Mr. Mu Yan's excitement will really detonate something in my body, then what I said before will be in vain."
Mu Yan smiled, and the other party was referring to his security measures, a small ball of dead silence elements stuffed in the heart, the kind that could be detonated at any time, and something that was detained by the guards on the bottom floor of the jingle trading hall.
Andrew took out a map of Heru and hung it on the wall, which was densely covered with many lines, among which it was obvious that the thickest one started from the port of Geoor, and went up the river, passing through the city of Berwick, the port near the city of Haemon, and finally to the valley of Nachal.
"It's October 28th, and there is still a month before the Chao people leave the port, and this is also the time I left for them to prepare."
"Ready?" Mu Yan asked with a frown.
"That's right." Andrew nodded and said, "One thing is for sure, the Chao people have heard the news now, and their reactions are nothing more than two, advance or retreat. Of course, I don't think the Hipsters really didn't have the eggs to that point, I had been secretly fighting with Hablon for so many years, and that old fox was able to become the boss in a pile of muscular sticks, not because of his powerful wizarding status, but because of a good brain and a good eloquence at inciting people. β
"Just like you?"
"Huh." Andrew avoided talking about it and changed the subject: "Believe me, he will definitely 'expand his army' during the time he chooses." And it is also along this road, the expansion of the city-state and the city-state. He will not use the people of the port of Guior, he is afraid that I will suddenly attack the base camp of the Michaos. β
"Striking the West?"
"Incisive!" Andrew's eyes lit up and he was amazed.
"Since you've been able to get your hands on the Nagfar's magic pattern and magic circle, you should also know how many people that ship can hold, right?"
Mu Yan nodded, in order to convince the other party, he showed the magic pattern map provided by Teacher Glazer to enhance his persuasiveness, and he was also very clear about the scale of the ship.
This is a magical ship twice as big as the Titanic.
"There are more than 200 tickets sold by the Chao people every fishing season, and counting their own people who are close to 500, there will be nearly 2,000 people on this boat, less than half of the total volume, what do you think the rest of the places are loaded?"
"What?"
"An offering to Neudra." Andrew swears by it.
"After a long time of the catastrophe, the Miltide people healed their wounds and overcame their fears of Neudra, but in order to appease the beast of the deep, they would prepare enough food for him at the end of each fishing season in exchange for an equivalent soul. Most of this food was for slaves, prisoners of war, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. One life is worth one life, so the ship came out with a full load, returned empty, and exchanged the flowing human lives for wealth, which was returned to the Chao people.
"But this time, I gave him a chance, a chance not to have to prepare sacrifices." Andrew grinned, his teeth straight and his smile grim.
"I'm sure Hablon must have thought the same thing, 'Since those guys with gold coins in their heads have sent them to the door themselves, let's just sacrifice them.'" On the premise of not using the local forces of Port Geoor, hiring mercenaries as cannon fodder is his best choice. So if you go to Peric City or Haymun, you can be sure that you will be able to board the ship safely, and you won't even have to worry about the number of followers. β
Mu Yan's heart suddenly sank.
"What do you mean by that, Mr. Andrew?"
Andrew regained his usual kind smile.
"Three days ago, someone opened a crystal card with the highest specification in the bank next to the golden basil leaf, but it was reported lost yesterday.
"Two days ago there was an accident in my arena, and Miss BΓ©rica's box was vandalized, and an explosion occurred at the stop of the carriage on the Champs Road outside, destroying her carriage and the strange card.
"My guard captain, Steve, is still looking for an Ambre man named Bane. I knew very well that he was the steward of the Sherlock family, and that Sherlock was probably dead.
"Also, although the two thieves who caused the accident were not caught, at the same time, there were several similar explosions in the outer city, which were more hoaxes than 'accidents'......"
Andrew saw that the Tallinn had disappeared into the air with an unkind face, and the young wizard in front of him also showed a harmless smile - although he was a little stiff, he understood the truth of "point to point".
He did "click" it.
"Mr. Mu Yan, in fact, I didn't think about it that much, it was my personal hobby to understand everything that was happening around me, and I didn't even think that these things were related. But from the moment Belica's Crystal Palace caught fire, I had a bold guess. I have to say that the 'commander' behind you has designed this game very cleverly, and if it weren't for your sudden appearance in front of me, I wouldn't have thought about it. But now you gave me the answer. Especially the look in your eyes at the moment convinced me that I was right. β
Andrew took a deep breath and said, "You guys are a team, right?" Teams of at least eight people. β
Mu Yan and Amatho glanced at each other, both of them had the urge to kill this guy immediately, he knew too much.
As if sensing his thoughts, Andrew spread his hands.
"You won't do that, I'm just an ordinary person, and I'm an ally with you. I have no ill will, but if I die, you'll be in big trouble. β
"But have you thought about it, Mr. Andrew?" Mu Yan poured himself a glass of red wine and handed him a glass.
"In normal times, the sudden death of the helmsman of the Rusty Water Chaebol would cause a sensation and even a big mess. But after all that you've said, will it be? β
Andrew's smile froze on his face.
"There's no doubt that this will be done by the hipsters." Mu Yan shrugged. "So you're being careless?"
"Hehe......" Andrew chuckled dryly, changing the subject unnaturally.
ββ¦β¦ Let's refine the plan, I'll muddy the waters, and then you take people to Peric City to board the ship, and of course, I'll arrange for a group of people to go with you. β
"If it weren't for what I just said, wouldn't there be no second half of your sentence?"
Mu Yan smiled and took the initiative to touch the cup with him, and the latter smiled noncommittally.
"So I'm still a little dissatisfied." Taking a sip of wine, he said, "What if I don't do anything on the ship and wait for you to make a fool of yourself?" β
"Who cares?" Andrew smiled. "Do you know what other people think of the Wadan? They say that when our brains shake, we can make the sound of gold coins colliding, do you think we still care if we don't make a fool of ourselves? We are not Chao people, think about the image they have established, brave, belligerent, irritable, short-guarding, and unreasonable, which does provide a lot of convenience for the Chao people who travel alone, as if shrouded in an invisible aura. But again, maintaining this aura comes at a much higher cost than we do. And we don't have that concern at all. β
"In other words, whatever I did on the ship would be considered the work of the Vadans, and you, with only a portion of the deposit in advance, would sit back and enjoy it?"
"Don't be unconvinced, young man." Andrew's appearance can be regarded as acquiescing to this statement, he smiled and said: "This is the power of capital, since you dare not stand in front of the stage, then there are always people who have to bear all this, praise, curse, all kinds of pressure, and even threats." But all of this will eventually turn into wealth. β
The Vadan man patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "You are the best young man I have ever met, but there is still a long way to go. β
Mu Yan was silent, suddenly raised his head, and rubbed his fingers slightly.
There was a soft "poof" sound, as if the cork of red wine had been popped open.
Andrew looked at his chest in disbelief, where blood had begun to seep outward, bright red as wine, and a cold feeling gradually infiltrated his left chest.
Despair crept up his cheeks, and he couldn't help but fall back, leaning against the table, and stretched out his hand to point at Mu Yan.
"You...... You ......"
He pursed his lips and said a few words, only to suddenly realize that there seemed to be nothing but cold touch and psychological panic.
And Mu Yan was also looking at him with a smile.
He touched the wound on his chest and noticed that the red liquid soaked through his linen shirt was purple and fragrant. Obviously, this is the wine that Mu Yan opened just now.
Mu Yan smiled happily, this prank made him feel like he had won back a city.
"You were nervous just now, Mr. Andrew, for a moment I thought you had designed all this." Mu Yan's fingers moved slightly, and the sweat stains on the other party's palm and the red wine on his chest flew out together, floating in the air, and turned into a water ball with purple silk threads.
"That being said, I was amazed by your impromptu performance. We flattened out. β
After saying that, he left with the two of them, and the water balloon scattered to the ground.
Seeing him walk away, Andrew collapsed to the ground, as if he had aged a lot all at once.
"Whew-"
He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Really...... It's so exciting......"
β¦β¦
In Port Gioor, in the square in the center of the city, there is a lighthouse that is noticeably shorter.
The spire seemed to have been cut off diagonally, and there were still a few black openings on it, like the marks of a soldering iron sticking into butter.
His use as a tool for illuminating ships on long voyages has been rare since the catastrophe many years ago, for few people dared to sail to Nilverheim. The reason why this dilapidated lighthouse remains to this day is because of that ancient legend.
In those days that frightened all the Hipsters, the Lighthouse was the tallest building in Porto Geoor, and the monster from the deep sea, enraged by the greed of the Gentlers, summoned the boiling waters of the River Styx, swept through Porto Geoor, folded its wings, entrenched itself on the lighthouse, and watched the desperate people with its amber pupils.
The original appearance of the port of Guiors was destroyed at that time, and only the lighthouse remained.
Now, at the top of the lighthouse was a man in a purple robe, his eyes glowing blue, and his white beard tied into small locks that hung down to his chest.
The robes are different from those worn by most Heru wizards, following the style of the Jialan faith for more than 400 years, which was created by the Glazers.
The people who came and went stopped what they were doing and looked up at him, looking at the current helm of the Nagfar.
β¦β¦
"The people of Hela." Hablon spoke, and the sound was like a cold wind from the sea, clearly reaching every corner, making the soul tremble.
"Someone has declared war on us."
After a brief pause, he looked down and saw not a pair of timid eyes.
"Very well, people of Hela, I am glad that the soft winds of Nilverheim did not allow you to be domesticated into pigs.
"Now, then, answer me. What is the fate of those who dare to declare war on the Chao people? β
"Death!" "A dead end!" "Melt in the River Styx!" β¦β¦
The Chao Man waved the weapon in his hand, his eyes were red, and he shouted panting.
"Don't you care who the enemy is?"
"Don't care!!"
"Good." Hablon nodded.
"Our enemy is the city of Vadan."
The crowd suddenly fell silent, but less than a second later burst into laughter.
"Hahaha...... Vadan, what do they want to do? Bought our boat? β
"What day is today, when the Vadan have declared war on us?"
"They have too much gold in their minds to think?"
"I swear it's the best joke before the season......"
β¦β¦
"Quiet!" Hablon stopped the crowd and said aloud: "How do you respond to the Vadanites wanting to start a war with us on the ship?" β
"Battleβ"
This time, the answers were uniform, and the vicious sound made the gray gulls on the beach scream and fly away.
"I'm very satisfied with your answers." Hablon said, but he also understood that Andrew was not a fool, and the other party dared to do this, and there must be other plans.
For example, while he pulled a large army onto the ship, he took the initiative to attack the port of Guior? It is very possible, with the wisdom of the other party, that this will not be unexpected.
"But this war has nothing to do with you," he said. "This may be a conspiracy that the few witsmen of Vadan can come up with, and we must beware of it."
"Maybe there will be more sacrifices this time." He thought, and in an instant, there was a solution.
Just like Andrew thought.
