Chapter 257: Part-time job
Outside the city of Kai'an.
After a big battle, the Far Eastern Army is cleaning up the battlefield.
They used their spears to pick through the layers of beast carcasses, and when they found any fish that had slipped through the net, they stabbed them.
Far from disturbing the vultures searching for blood, the beast's death-threatening screams pointed them to the reverse of a fresh blood-food.
And more soldiers are cleaning their wounds, wiping their blades and armor.
Morey secretly calculated that if he followed the current progress, he would be able to return to Red Leaf City in about a week.
Now that the beast tide in the Bicester Mountains is coming to an end, these towns near the edge of the Bicester Mountains are no longer threatened by the herds, but those cities that are close to the interior are more dangerous because of the loose herd relationships.
After clearing the battlefield, Morey went to a city close to the interior as originally planned, and many beasts that had been killed and scattered before were gathered outside the city, and he had to hurry over, because he didn't know when those beasts would join forces to attack the city.
But just as the troops were finishing up and preparing to start, a "mountain of meat" suddenly fell from the sky.
Rumble!
The smoke and dust were filled, and everyone covered their noses and retreated.
"Who's coming?!"
"That's not right! Who is Long?! ”
That's right, it was a giant dragon that fell from the sky, and after a little look, Morey unconsciously gave birth to a strange feeling, isn't this black dragon the reinforcement that Tress invited to deal with him?
Why is it so miserable now?!
His limbs had been shriveled by the gray magical energy, revealing the appearance of bones, and his abdomen was exaggeratedly sunken inward, and the dragon bones were exposed by the dragon skin clinging to it, looking like a dried corpse in dragon skin from a distance.
The black dragon raised his head weakly, opened his eyes that were as clear as amber and now cloudy like muddy water, and shouted weakly at Morey: "Help, save me......"
"Huh?"
Before Morey could go to investigate the situation of the black dragon, a group of more than 20 gray-clothed people suddenly appeared in the battlefield strewn with corpses.
"Baron Morey?"
The leader should have been a middle-aged gray-robed mage, who stood in the distance and performed a mage salute to himself.
But the miraculous thing is that his voice reached Morey without any discount, showing a very high level of magic attainment.
"You are?"
"I'm Hal, I wonder if the Baron can give us that black dragon!"
"Don't hide it from the Baron, this dragon has killed quite a few of our brothers, so we have been chasing him all these years, and this time we finally seriously injured him, but he ran out!"
"But since it's the Baron and you've found him, we're willing to pay for him, what do you think?"
The priest said a string in one breath, and it was rare that he didn't stumble and made his request clear.
"Lao Tzu is not a cargo!" The black dragon returned to the Tao weakly.
But apparently the gray-robed mage didn't care about the black dragon's answer, and his eyes stared at Morey without the slightest movement.
"What do you think, Lord Baron?"
Without waiting for Morey to reply, he threw a bag over, and the rope on the bag didn't seem to be tied tightly, and a piece of red, green, and green gems fell to the ground.
With Morey's current eyesight, he can roughly estimate the value with a sweep, and this bag of gems should not be less than 20,000 gold coins.
"We didn't bring too many gold coins this time, these 20,000 gold coins of gems are used as a deposit, what do you think?"
Morey raised his eyebrows, this group of people is really sincere, it's just ......
"Help me, I can help you beat someone for free! One hundred years! Seeing that Morey seemed to be a little tempted, the black dragon immediately reported his price.
See, this is how the negotiation should be, answering the key points directly to the customer.
Heilong didn't say anything stupid about "I'll help you work", and directly said "I can help you beat people for free", a word difference, this sincerity is reflected, and the hundred-year period also shows Heilong's sincerity, if he really promises to repay Morey forever, Morey is the first to believe it.
"Hehe, you see, I can't refuse a legendary dragon's allegiance request!"
"Looks like we're going to have to fight!" There was a hint of murder in the eyes of the priest.
Black Dragon was concerned with an important plan in the organization, and although he had always disdained the whims of those guys, this time since the mission was given to him, there was no reason to let Black Dragon escape.
Whoever stands in their way, they will kill and eliminate those people, whoever they are!
"Wait until you hold the rear, I'll go and get that baron here!" The sacrificial two eyes were still looking at Morey, but in private, he secretly arranged his plan to his subordinates through the [Communication Technique].
Now I can only rely on my own personal strength to take down the baron first, and then make plans.
The priest was not yet arrogant enough to face the repeated attacks of the ten thousand army, especially since there were several high-level professionals who were not weak in their strength.
But the spitting of his subordinates made him a little annoyed.
"Sacrifice to my lord, I, we ......"
"Is there anything hard about this?" If it weren't for the paralysis of Morey, the current priest would have turned his head and slapped those fools a few times.
Goblins are smarter than these pigs!
"When I go back, I must change a group of subordinates with higher intelligence than pigs!" Hal swore to himself.
"But, my lord, we are already surrounded!" The subordinate said aggrievedly.
Hal was taken aback, and when he looked back, he realized that he didn't know when the Far Eastern Army had surrounded them, and the dragon and Morey who had just been in front of him had also teleported into the heavy protection of the army.
"Damn that guy again!"
Hal knew in an instant that he had fallen for the illusion of the half-elven old man, and he scanned his surroundings and saw Olsen somewhere.
The half-elf elder looked at the completely darkened scepter with a pity, this cross-level spellcaster against the legendary did consume too much energy, which could confuse tens of thousands of middle-level strength beasts for an hour of [True Illusion], and for the legend, it could only last for a short period of ten breaths.
"Or will I let Lord Morey reward them to me and make up for the loss?"
......
Doge's Palace.
Bartlet always felt that the special adviser seemed to have something hidden in his heart today, so he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is there something on your mind today, sir?" Why do you look a little absent-minded? ”
"Oh, no, no! It's just that I've been sleeping a little hard lately, which has worried the Governor! Harold smiled and replied in a relaxed tone.
"That's good, Stone Tower City can't do without Mr.!"
"Lord Governor, have you made any plans to send the guards out to clean up the surrounding beasts recently?" Harold asked a question, seemingly unintentionally.
"Hehe, Mr. may not know if he is busy all day long, this beast tide will recede in less than two days, what are we going to do with that unjust money!" The Governor said with a nonchalant expression.
The so-called military horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and as soon as the army is pulled, it is a tumultuous gold coin, and the cost of cleaning up the beasts has already been embezzled by him, and now he has to go out to clean up, so isn't this money for him?
Taking money out of his own pocket is worse than killing him!
Looking at the Governor with a resolute face, Harold looked suddenly enlightened, but he sighed secretly in his heart.
I can be regarded as benevolent and righteous!
