Section 463 Whispering
Just as Chen Xing was "playing games" with Suna, a major event happened in Beauty Town, more than 100 kilometers away.
Orchid Town, Roast Duck Town, and Beauty Town are distributed in a triangle, gathering more than 100 kilometers from each other, sharing a dirt road leading to Longshi Town, and the fork is at the "Hanging Skeleton".
The three towns are joint defense towns, which are to watch and help each other when they encounter danger. After all, this is more than a thousand kilometers away from a big town like Longshi Town, and it is really going to be in trouble, and it will take a week to transfer troops from Longshi Town, and the daylilies are cold.
Usually, the three towns have business contacts, and there are also a little personal contacts, for example, when Chen Xing entered Orchid Town, the other two mayors came to give gifts and congratulations.
At the time of the incident, the mayor of Beauty Town, An Bixi, was moving his slightly fat body, lying on the desk in the study and checking the accounts for the month with a magnifying glass.
As a middle-aged man, Ambisi is facing a midlife crisis. Hair thinning, body obesity, and regression in strength. Buried in trivial affairs all day long, lack of exercise and entertainment, physical and mental exhaustion when idle, chronic diseases such as high blood pressure and high blood lipids erode the body.
He was born into a declining aristocratic family in Raven City, and was promoted to town guard at the age of twenty-seven. Due to the fall of his family, he was sent to this barren place where birds do not lay eggs to serve as the mayor of the town.
To put it nicely, it's to defend the side, and to put it ugly, it's to distribute the frontier. However, he is the head of a town, and in this far area is the emperor of the soil.
His only hobby is women, so he named the town Beauty Town, hoping to attract many beauties to stop. He married three wives and had nine children, the eldest of whom had gone to college in Greyhorn and the youngest who was still nursing.
The eldest wife was introduced by the family, and she brought it over when she took office, and the second and third were all female mercenaries passing by. The status is not high, and with his identity as the mayor of the town, he is naturally handy.
Originally, he wanted to marry a few more, but he was shy in his pocket, and now the family is almost unable to make ends meet.
There are only a few sources of income for the marginal towns, and the tax revenue for a year of dedication to operation is less than 10,000 gold coins. It may seem like a lot, but that's for a single person. With such a large family, even being well-off is barely possible.
The eldest son said that he was looked down upon by others in the city, and he was afraid that he would not be able to find a wife with good conditions in the future, so he wanted to buy an armed cricket to support the faΓ§ade. Just kidding, that's a third of the town's annual tax revenue.
Fortunately, there is a big financier in Orchid Town next door this year, and the mayor Chen Erliu is so rich that tens of thousands of gold coins are smashed down to build a mansion, and all kinds of high-end equipment can be seen in his eyes.
What about this Chen Erliu, he knows the details of the other party, his former name was Chen Xing, and he was the captain of the third squad of the security team of Orchid Town. I offended the Yang family in Gray Corner City before, but I didn't want the old mayor of Orchid Town to be a hermit master and a legend of the deep sea.
Later, I heard that I offended some noble person and was exiled to the Black Death Continent, and I didn't know how to take the shit luck, so I blatantly ran back and brought back a large amount of money.
However, speaking of which, Mayor Chen is still relatively generous. Last time, he sent two cases of red wine, and the other party immediately returned a big gift, with a lot of money, and he will have to move around more in the future.
Compared to the iron rooster in Roast Duck Town, it is simply a heaven and an earth. Look at the people, this is called the mayor.
Thanks to Mayor Chenda, the three towns are relatively close, and if one town develops, the other two towns can also get a little light. Let's just say that some time ago when the mansion was built, the pockets of the craftsmen in the two towns bulged a lot.
The people below have money, their spending power has risen, and there are naturally more taxes.
He did a rough calculation, and this year's tax revenue was three to five thousand more than in previous years. But armed crickets still can't be bought, they are toys for rich people, not small as them
What the aristocracy can consume, even he, the mayor of the town, rides in a pickup truck, and the little rabbit cub still wants to buy a sports car?
He told his eldest son that if he wanted to please a beautiful daughter-in-law, he had to work harder. The strength has gone up, what woman doesn't?
"Great, sir!"
The door to the study was suddenly pushed open, and the assistant ran in in a panic.
"Why?" Ambisi moved down from his desk and looked at the middle-aged assistant who had been with him for more than twenty years with some displeasure.
"The patrol found the corpse... Corpse..."The assistant ran in a hurry, a little out of breath, and held back for a while before exclaiming, "Corpse King! β
The Corpse King, a huge living dead who walks blindly in the wilderness, has lord-level strength, is a little slow in his movements, feeds on the living dead or other mutated creatures, and generally does not leave the depths of the wilderness.
From the assistant's panicked expression, it can be guessed that the corpse king is coming in the direction of Beauty Town.
"I'm slot!" Ambisi couldn't help but scold, how could he have encountered such an unfortunate thing. However, he was the mayor of a town, and he had guarded this wilderness for more than twenty years, and he quickly regained his composure.
"Have you found out the cause of the change, how far is it, and when will it arrive?" His face was gloomy and he asked in a series of questions.
"The reason is unknown, there are still two hundred and seventy kilometers from the town, and it is expected to arrive tomorrow morning!" The assistant replied.
"Okay, I see." Ambixi paused and ordered, "You immediately arrange vehicles and guards, send the three ladies and children to Longshi Town for refuge, and then inform the deputy mayor and the captain of the city defenders to ask for help in Orchid and Roast Duck Town." β
"Yes!" The assistant trotted away.
At the same time, in the wilderness two or seventy kilometers away, a huge figure was slowly moving.
The skin ulcerates, revealing the red muscles inside. The muscles were like pythons intertwined with each other, full of power.
It looks slow, but it's only visual. The movements are clumsy and slow, but they are not slow at all. The giant stepped tens of meters in one step and traveled at a speed of more than thirty kilometers per hour. With each step, the ground shook, and the gravel jumped half a meter high, leaving huge footprints in its wake.
Behind the giant there is a raised dirt mountain. There are two figures standing on the top of the mountain, which stand out in this deserted place.
Both of them were wearing robes, and they both stood with their hands in their hands, and their posture was a little proud. The robe is brightly colored, and it is obviously of good material and worth a lot. The rope around the waist seems simple, but it is strung with various colored gems and small gold and silver rings, silver as water, gold with darkness, must be rare mythril and pure gold.
If Chen Xing was here at this moment, he would definitely scold secretly, "How can it be this old dog!" β
One of them is none other than Leander Ralph, the elder of the Red Dragon Principality, who has met Chen Xing twice, the first time he was beaten stupidly by the former mayor, and the second time he was honest and polite, but he didn't have a good impression either.
"I said old fellow, I have the impression that you have always been very quick and tough, why do you like to use this kind of trick now."
It was another old man who spoke, with white hair and eyebrows, and a slight mockery on his face.
Leander snorted coldly, rather unpleasant, "You mean to say that I am simple-minded and have well-developed limbs?" β
The white-eyed old man laughed, "Old friend, you are serious, I am just curious, that town is just a town guard, even if you lose your arm, just with the new one, it is just a matter of killing him." What's more, I'm here, working for the eldest princess, do you think I'll stand by? β
Leander let go of his frowning brow and sighed, "Elder Miao, some things are not as simple as you think......" He looked at the huge living corpse walking slowly in the distance, "You're right, we can indeed swagger into the town,
Kill that kid on the spot, but do you remember what the eldest princess said? β
The white-eyed old man hesitated, as if he was thinking carefully.
"Don't let that liar get too comfortable," she said. Leander said.
"That's right, the eldest princess meant to kill that kid." Elder Miao said angrily, "This kind of ant has annoyed the eldest princess, and she can't be excused for her death!" β
"Then have you thought about it, since you want to kill that kid, why don't you just say it clearly, you have to beat around the bush?" Leander asked.
"The eldest princess is benevolent and kind, and she can't bear to kill." Elder Miao looked up at the sky, looking righteous and awe-inspiring.
"The eldest princess is indeed kind-hearted, even the flowers and insects can't bear to hurt ......" Leander also looked at the sky, but unconsciously, both of them had their right hands covered on their chests.
After each of them expressed their loyalty to the Lord, Elder Miao opened his mouth and asked, "Do you have any scruples about the Legend of the Deep Sea?" Without waiting for the other party to answer, he continued, "The Red Dragon Flame is not weaker than that deep-sea warship, not to mention that there is that lord in charge, even if he is given ten dares, he will not dare to show his head." β
"Ever since that lord came to the Red Keep, the legend of the deep sea has long been a thing of the past, but let me tell you......" Leandel leaned closer to Elder Miao and lowered his voice, "The problem lies with that lord. β
"What do you mean?" Elder Miao's voice was even quieter, like a thief.
This is the wilderness, and there are only the two of them as far as the eye can see, but they both deliberately keep their voices low, which shows how deep the fear of the adult is.
"Before the Lord stepped into the Sanctuary, he opened a weapons shop in the town...... "Leander grew smaller and thinner, as thin as a mosquito.
"That kid is from the local vigilante. Don't look at him as ordinary-looking, not handsome, but thoughtful. He is young and quite calm. Young and old, lively, and a little humorous, this kind of person is quite lethal to little girls. You know, the adult was only sixteen or seventeen years old at the time, and that was ......"
"You suspect they have a leg!" Elder Miao was shocked, unconsciously raised his voice, and hurriedly lowered it, "It's impossible, if the dragon can look at ants, wouldn't sows be able to climb trees?" β
"Who hasn't been confused when they're young?" Leander sighed, as if remembering the green years.
"But now it's not what it used to be, even if it's all kinds of things back then, it's just a thing of the past, a dream in vain." Elder Miao said. How can a dragon soar with ants, that is impossible.
"Oh, that's hard to say...... "Leander said, waving his hand, "the poets always say that women are made of water." No matter how strong the ability and status are, they are still emotional animals. In case one day the old love is rekindled, rolling the sheets, and saying something very rebellious...... "His voice was a little lower, "It is not unusual for the eldest princess to be next to her and push her back." β
Elder Miao's face suddenly turned solemn.
"You know the character of that adult, who behaves in a hurry, is moody, never plays cards according to common sense, and is very vindictive, who burns a city for her adoptive mother, and if she knows that someone has killed her lover, she is fascinated by it, and recalls all kinds of ...... in the past."
At this point, Leander didn't say any more, revealing a "you know" expression.
Elder Miao's face first changed from solemn to pale, with fine sweat oozing from his forehead, and finally nodded as if he suddenly realized.
"When the time comes, the eldest princess can say innocently, I just want them to cause a little trouble, and we ......" Leander pointed to herself, and then to Elder Miao.
After a long silence, the latter exhaled a long breath, clenched his fists and said, "Brother save my whole clan......"
