Everyone looked in the direction of Xu Tie's finger and was startled! I saw that the lower body of the mermaid had a big fish tail like a mermaid, and the upper body was terrifying, looking like a skinned ape, staring at two bulging round eyes. A big mouth full of terrible fangs! The body color is black-gray and about two meters long. There was also a fishy smell coming from all over the body.

"Cut the slices, add more green onions and ginger and stir-fry, and maybe try to eat them......" Zhou Yiqing muttered.

"Gross~ You're disgusting! Can you stop talking about it! Xu Dong only felt a churning in his stomach.

"Wow, is this the Pearl Shark? A pearl on its jaw sells for 50 kinnars in San Carno! Claire said.

"50 gold!" When Xu Dong heard this, he immediately came to his senses, took out a dagger, endured nausea, walked over and turned the merman's body over, and sure enough, he saw a bulging meat bun growing on the merman's jaw. Xu Dong stabbed down with a dagger, yellow juice splashed, and a musky smell filled the air. A round pearl the size of a dragon's eye was revealed in the meat bun.

"Haha, there are pearls!" Xu Dong dug out the pearl, didn't care about the dirty, wiped it with his hand and stuffed it into his pocket.

"This merman pearl is said to detoxify when held in the mouth. Many aristocrats would wear one just in case. Claire said.

Xu Dong smiled: "Then it's not a bad thing that the river is full of this thing, at least it's very valuable." Let the thunder hammer make some steel wire mesh out, and catch more mermaids to dig pearls and sell them. ”

Xu Tie said depressedly: "Young master, how do you fish with steel wire nets?" I can't sprinkle it at all......"

Xu Dong scolded: "You are stupid! Aren't we building ferries? Build a few more, then hang a few more barbs on the wire mesh and let the boat drag the wire mesh back and forth in the river twice. ”

Xu Tong hurriedly said: "Young master's clever plan!" I can't wait for wisdom just in case! ”

Xu Dong smiled proudly, put his hands behind his back and said, "Otherwise, I am the young master."

Claire said, "Your Majesty! I think the Templar Order of the Diocese of Pearl should be established as soon as possible! As the head of the Knights, it is my duty to recruit members! Can you ask your subordinates to pay the recruitment fee first? ”

"This ...... Knight Claire, as you can see, Pearl Collar is now building churches and castles, building markets and docks, and spending money everywhere. You look at this matter of the Knights Templar, can you slow down first? Xu Dong said with a smile on his face.

Claire's mouth was furled, and she said urgently with a hint of crying: "Your Majesty the Bishop!" You can't do that! This money was used by the Holy See to recruit the Templars for the Diocese of Pearl Territory! How can you embezzle public funds from the Holy See? ”

"It's embarrassing!" Zhou Yiqing interjected.

"Well, it's embarrassing." Xu Song nodded in agreement.

In a very embarrassing atmosphere, Xu Dong felt that his face was a little hot, so he could only ask softly: "Then I don't know how much money it costs to recruit the Knights?"

Claire snapped her fingers and said, "Our Pearl Collar Diocese is the Grand Diocese in charge of the entire Northern Wasteland!" I think at least 600 Templars need to be recruited. Among them, 540 beginner knights and 60 intermediate knights serve as squad leaders. I will also recruit 5 high-ranking knights to lead the Order with me. A minimum of 800 jinnars per month is required as a monthly salary for the Order. ”

"800 gold coins per month!" Xu Dong's eyes were dark, and he almost didn't stop. Reluctant smiled, "That's right, Captain Claire. For the time being, the Church of Light in the Pearl Territory is too small to accommodate so many Templars. Why don't you reduce the size of the Knights? ”

Claire pouted and asked, "Is the church small?" It seems that His Majesty really doesn't have the money to build a cathedral......"

"yes, yes! In order to build the church of God in this barren land, we can only eat one meal a day. You see, those goblins are so hungry that they are only one meter high......" Xu Dong grabbed the neck of a goblin who happened to pass by, kicked the poor goblin on all fours, and handed it to Claire.

Claire's eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and she was moved: "It is worthy of the sacred Xu Dongmian!" Your devotion to God is worth learning from every believer! So, let's go to the Pearl Castle Church and pray to God for the prosperity of the pearl collar! ”

"Oh, pray! Okay, good, please. Xu Dong raised his hand and threw away the goblin in his hand, turned around and walked in front to lead the way.

When walking along the unfinished outer city wall into the south gate of the outer city of Pearl City, Xu Dong was directly dumbfounded! I saw a splendid and huge church towering in the south gate, the whole church is made of white rock, covering an extremely large area, with gorgeous sculptures and marble steps. There's even a garden behind the church! And the church is not yet finished, and at least 2,000 workers are busy expanding the outbuildings on both sides of the church.

"This ...... Is it the chapel in the mouth of the crown? Claire was stunned.

Xu Dong's eyes were full of tears, barely supporting himself from falling, and whimpered: "Compared with the glory of the Holy Light God, such a church is really not a big ......" but he was roaring in his heart, how much the did it cost Lao Tzu!

"It is worthy of the holy Xu Dongmian! You may not know very well that such a large church, not to mention 600 Templars, is enough for 2,000 knights to live in! Claire said excitedly, waving her arms.

"Don't! Captain Claire! I think 600 Templars is enough to show the power of the Holy See! Let's do that for now, okay? Xu Dong felt like he was about to cry.

At this time, the foreman in charge of building the church also saw Xu Dong, and ran over with a flattering face and shouted: "Great and holy lord! You're finally back! You see the church we built for you, are you satisfied? This is the ability of everyone in the entire Pearl Collar to work hard day and night! More than 6,000 manpower was used in the early stage of the project. The materials and decorations are also the best ...... to buy"

Xu Dong really wanted to slap his palm on the foreman's face! But the last outstretched hand gently patted the foreman on the shoulder. Xu Dong said with tears in his eyes: "You did a good job......

With trembling hands, Xu Dong counted 800 gold coins and handed them to Claire, who was so excited that she took the money and ran to Lilac Castle to recruit Templars.

Xu Dong watched Claire's figure walk away, turned around and grabbed the construction foreman's collar and shouted, "You say! How much did it cost me to build this church? ”

The foreman was stunned, and said tremblingly: "Lord Hui, second ...... Twenty-five thousand kinnar ......"

Xu Dong screamed, threw his head off the job, fell to his knees and cried bitterly: "Twenty-five thousand jinnar!" It cost Lao Tzu 250,000 taels of silver to build a church! Woowoo woo ......"

After crying for a while, Xu Dong turned back to Xu Tie and Xu Tong and yelled, "Why don't you two fools stop them?"

Xu Tie sweated profusely and said: "These guys say, this is your church, young master, it must be built very gorgeously!" Otherwise, it will not show the noble identity of the young master. So I had to give them the money...... Now there are less than 2,000 gold coins left on the books, what can I do? ”

Xu Dong rolled his eyes and sat down on the ground, Xu Song and Zhou Yiqing hurriedly pinched people again, and pressed their temples to wake Xu Dong up.

As soon as Xu Dong breathed a sigh of relief, Xu Tie said again: "We spent almost all the manpower and material resources to build this cathedral first, and now we are going to build a castle, a market and a wharf. Oh yes. And pay 700 soldiers and 9,000 workers......"

Xu Dong heard this, his eyes rolled and he fainted, and everyone was in a hurry again......

"There are more than 3,000 gold coins here, let's take them to the emergency first......" Xu Dong shook and took out the only bit of family money on his body.

"What's next? That's not enough money to spend! Why don't you go anywhere to rob a wave? Xu Song suggested.

"The hosts! Master! Yabai knows where the treasure is! Many, many treasures! Goblin Tooth White shouted out of nowhere.

"Treasure!" When Xu Dong heard this, his eyes lit up. Grabbing the white of his teeth, he asked, "He is worthy of being my most powerful servant!" Tell me, where is the treasure? ”

Yabai said proudly: "This is going to start from a long, long time ago!" Once upon a time, ......"

Xu Dong knocked on the door of his white head with a shudder, and said angrily: "Lao Tzu asked you to say where the treasure is!" Didn't let you beep the storytelling here! ”

A bag bulged out on the door of Yabai's head when he was knocked, and tears came out of his eyes. Covering his head, he said, "Master! The treasure lies in the ruins of a city in the middle of the Endless Mountains! But it's dangerous! ”

Xu Dong was puzzled: "There is another city in the Endless Mountain Range?" Why haven't you heard of it? ”

Yabai explained, "I just wanted to talk about it! This city has been abandoned for more than 2,000 years, and the only ones who know this secret are our Kushan tribe! ”

Xu Dong was shocked: "2000? Was it a city before the Millennium War? ”

"yes, it's a city of Quinns. The Quinns were a powerful fighting race in ancient times. Every Quinn, male and female, is a warrior. Because of this, all races do not like the Quinns and hate the Quinns. During the long war with the various races, the Quinns were outnumbered and their population was getting smaller and smaller. In the end, less than 100,000 people were left to stick to the last city in the endless mountains! The city is also the place of origin of the Quinn people. Although the Quinns were at the end of their rope, they relied on the easily defended terrain of the Endless Mountains to repel the alliance armies of the various races. After the Great War, the few remaining Quinns lived in the city until more than 2,000 years ago. Later, a powerful undead lich led his army of the undead to capture the last city of the Quinns. It is said that the lich attacked the city because he coveted the treasures of the Quinns. Therefore, Yabai thinks that there must be treasures in the ruins of this city! Yabai said seriously.

Xu Dong pouted and said, "Even if there is a treasure, it must have been snatched away by that damn lich."

Yabai shook his head and said, "No, after the fall of the city, the Quinns opened the gate of the underground palace located below the city and retreated to the underground. The lich and his army of undead chased the Quinns underground, only to never come out. In short, it is said that the dungeon is the place of origin of the ancestors of the Quinns, which is very strange, and for more than 2,000 years, many adventurers who coveted the treasures of the Quinns entered the dungeon to search for treasures, and the results disappeared......"

Xu Dong lowered his head and thought for a while, and felt that it was necessary to go to that ruin to investigate, because he was really poor and crazy!
