Chapter 214 Engagement Fee Round
The original intention of establishing the Black Stone Collar was not a right, but just to find a place for his family to live.
Now the goal can be said to have been achieved.
Whether it is the human kingdom, or dwarves and barbarians, no one dares to despise it.
If it weren't for the appearance of orcs......
Shaking his head, he secretly said in his heart: "It seems that we have to continue to work hard." ”
In a previous life, it was said, "Freedom is not about doing what you want, but not doing what you don't want to do." ”
Ma Long felt that it made sense and thought it was true. Make it a goal for yourself, too.
I went back to my accommodation and got a good night's sleep.
During this time, he didn't have a good rest, even with his recovery power, he felt tired.
Tired!
At dawn, the early morning dwarves came looking for him and shouted for him to drink with him.
Copperbeard has no friends in the king, and the other dwarves have the same virtue as themselves—they don't care about anything when they have wine.
If you think about it, you will come to find Ma Long.
All aspects of things are arranged by his subordinates, and Ma Long thought that he seemed to be idle, so he agreed.
"You human nobles are not simple, they will brag about it one by one, and it is very ...... fake"
In a tavern in the royal capital, the two sat opposite each other, and Tongsu complained while drinking wine.
"Just get used to it." Malone replied: "That's why I don't like dealing with them. ”
A human and a dwarf chatted without saying a word, while drinking wine, attracting the attention of many people, such a combination is indeed rare.
Frequent eyes are on the two.
But neither of them cared much, and for Malone, as long as it wasn't hostile, it didn't matter.
The dwarf didn't think about it and ignored it.
Unlike the dwarves, who take a big sip and drink white water, Malone drinks it in small sips, which can be said to be a "product".
It's not that he's afraid of getting drunk, with his current body, it's hard to get drunk.
It can almost be said that the right to get drunk has been lost.
He just didn't have to, the dwarf gulped, it was a racial characteristic, and it couldn't be changed.
Ma Long is not out of love, and there is nothing sad, why bother!
The liquor is a spirit, produced by the black stone collar.
In the way of dwarves, it didn't take long for him to get himself drunk.
Lying on the table weakly, not waking up, Malone had to call someone to carry him back.
When I paid the bill, I opened a lot of silver coins, and it was so dark!
Only then did he realize that the dwarves were probably coming to him as a money bag.
I didn't pay attention to it for a while, and Malone didn't know that his wine was so expensive.
But thinking about Moutai and Wuliangye in the previous life, this doesn't seem to be a big deal.
Looking around the tavern, he noticed that although there were not many people inside, they were all rich or expensive, and they were all not bad money.
"Huh......"
Ma Long, who was about to leave, actually saw an acquaintance, although the other party seemed to have drunk too much and was lying on the table, he still recognized it.
Fei Lun!
Is this buying drunk?
After a little hesitation, Malone walked over and sat down across from him.
As if he was aware, the other party raised his head, and it was really Fei Lun.
Compared with more than a month ago, he is much more decadent, and his whole person is full of a depressed atmosphere.
"You're here to laugh at me, too?" He looked at Malone and said.
Obviously deprived of his aristocratic status, his life is not easy these days, and he has been ostracized and ridiculed.
"It's not." Marlon shook his head, "Just want to see how you're doing?" Is there anything I can do to help? ”
Fei Lun looked at Malone with some conscription, and then smiled.
He smiled very reservedly and had the characteristic demeanor of an aristocracy.
But it was fun to see, really happy!
"During this time, everyone is either avoiding me or ridiculing me, you are the first and only one who says they want to help me."
As soon as he said it, he was a little endless, as if he wanted to pour out all the grievances he had suffered these days, "The people who used to please me have long since switched to other camps, and the enemies have fallen into the ground......
"What's really chilling is that after so many years of working for the kingdom, saying that if you deprive yourself of your title, you will deprive yourself of your title, and you don't miss the old feelings at all......
"Everyone knows what's going on this time, Marquis Marlon Marquis, you have the ability to bring out those civilian soldiers, I admire you, but what about the others?
Why is it that I take the blame, there is no compensation at all, and I also have a large family to raise......"
Ma Long didn't know how to comfort him, Fei Lun said the truth, but this is the cruelty of the nobility.
Once you lose momentum, you lose the whole game.
The fall of Fei Lun is not just a matter of his own personal affairs.
Their family is also an old aristocrat that has been inherited for many years, and the number of people in the family is also hundreds.
In the past, it was all supported by noble titles, and everyone in the family could have a good job.
Now that it has lost momentum, these oil and water will naturally no longer be able to take turn.
It's hard for a family to survive!
Malone suddenly had an idea, maybe he could bring it back to the Blackstone Collar?
Fei Lun's ability is there, Los Angeles can withstand the orcs for so long, although there are various reasons in it, and the on-site command is also in charge of Wood, not him.
But he was able to keep a large city in order and support the war from all sides.
Thinking of the city defense crossbows all over the city wall, complete logistics support, there is indeed no doubt about the ability!
As for the other party's escape, Malone thinks it is reasonable.
If you can't beat it, you have to run!
In Ma Long's opinion, the only mistake may be that he failed to run with his civilians.
However, he is interested in Fei Lun's management ability and does not need his leadership, which does not seem to be a big problem.
The more he thought about it, the more feasible he felt, Ma Long no longer hesitated, and directly invited, "I still lack an archon in Tucheng, if you want......"
The affairs of Tucheng have always been Ma Long's part-time job, and although her cousin Haiwen is capable, she is in charge of the affairs of the entire territory, and she also has to take care of a part of Black Rock City, so she really doesn't have that energy.
This Fei Lun has experience in managing big cities, and he has planned the direction and related systems in advance, so he feels that there is no problem at all.
Looking at Ma Long in some surprise, Fei Lun asked, "You believe me so much?" ”
"There will be supervision!" Malone didn't answer directly, but he made it clear.
Nodding, Fei Lun was a little relieved, he had a criminal record after all, and the two had not known each other for a long time, so the necessary precautions were the reason.
If Malone says he believes it, he will consider whether the other party is really sincere!
"Can you let me think about it for a while?" Fei Lun asked.
"Yes, but not too long, Malf will be back with the refugees soon, and I hope to be with you if you want."
He nodded, "I'll get back to you as soon as I can!" ”
Malone was in a good mood when he left the tavern.
Although Fei Lun said that he had to consider it, in his opinion, it was nine out of ten.
He had a large family to support, and in his present condition, it would be impossible for the king.
To go elsewhere, starting from the unknown, it is better to agree to Marlon's invitation.
