Coming out of the divination tent, Chen Xing has been in a state of contemplation.

Margareth saw that he was thinking about something, and did not disturb, and quietly accompanied him.

Demons, empresses.

Could it be that he is destined to be involved with these two women for the rest of his life?

It's scary to think about. Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and the head will fall to the ground if you are not careful, such a life is so exciting that you don't want to live a day.

Life is always changeable.

He silently recited the words, trying to convince himself that it was nothing more than his own psychological suggestion.

In fact, fortune telling itself is to provide a plausible, ambiguous hint, and then the person concerned will associate with the closest event, gradually form a unity, and finally convince himself that it is true.

For example, if the implication of the calculation is "rope", it will be associated with the loosening of the shoelaces a few days ago, or the snake you saw some time ago, or even the water pipe in the fire hydrant, which is similar to the shape of the rope or is intrinsically related.

In short, it is the answer that you "make up in your brain".

It seems to work, but it is a mental game.

As he was thinking, the light suddenly dimmed.

Raising his eyes, a well-dressed middle-aged man appeared in front of him.

He has a gentle face, wears a high hat, carries a cane in his hand, and dresses like a squire. A young man in a dark horse jacket and a white shirt stood behind the middle-aged man with a bow at the neckline, and judging by his attire, he was supposed to be a squire.

"Contemptible John Prader, the mayor of this town, has come to greet him when he learns that Lord Chen is in this town."

The middle-aged man who identified himself as John Prader took off his hat and saluted Chen Xing.

About half an hour ago, a corpse vendor saw Chen Xing, who was walking with Margareth in the small market. He has been in and out of the fringe towns for many years, and he has an impression of the local figures.

In order to get a reward of a few gold coins, he immediately ran to the mayor's mansion and told John Prad the news.

At that time, Mayor John was asking around which the float boat was moored outside the town, and rushed over as soon as he heard the news.

Although Prade Town and Orchid Town are separated by more than 900 kilometers, and it is unlikely that the two sides will cooperate, the mayors are still very happy to have the opportunity to form a good relationship and fulfill the friendship of landlords.

"Thank you, Mistress Prader, for your hospitality." Chen Xing bowed in return.

"Margaret Ursula, daughter of the count, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your courtesy." Margareth lifted the hem of her Gothic princess dress and curtsy to the nobles of the court.

Hearing the count's daughter, Mayor John's eyes lit up, and then he touched his chest with one hand and bowed in return, "Beautiful Miss Ursula, even the night can't hide your color." ”

Then he invited the two to the house for a hot cup of coffee.

Chen Xing was happily invited, in this cruel world, one more friend is one more way, there is nothing bad.

After a while, the two

He sat down in the small castle at the end of the shopping street, and the attendant poured fragrant coffee.

"I don't know why Lord Chen came to the town? If you need anything, please let the contemptible people do their part. Mayor John inquired politely and decently.

"Just passing by, walking around." Chen Xing said. It may seem perfunctory to others, but it's just the way it is.

"Hehe......" Mayor John smiled gently, "Now that the country is surging, everyone is busy sharpening their heads and drilling into the monitor lizard city, but Lord Chen has such a Yaxing, it's really a bit surprising." ”

"I don't have soldiers or food, so I won't join in the fun." Chen Xing said.

"Your Excellency would be humble when you say that. I heard that adults are opening a zombie paradise in Orchid Town, and tourists have flocked to it, and the praise has been overwhelming. The ingenious and extraordinary ideas are a model for the development of marginal towns in our generation. ”

"Adults praise falsely, falsely praised." Chen Xing said with a smile.

"To put it mildly, if you are not afraid of adult complacency, such a good business model, I can't even think of it even if I want to break my head."

"Your Excellency is humble." Chen Xing raised his glass.

"I can't think of such a good idea, so I have to use the most traditional and stupid method." Mayor John put down his coffee cup, "I've already organized a team of two hundred people for my eldest son to take to Monitor Lizard City. War is inevitable, and as long as the old king dies, the world will inevitably be in chaos. ”

Naturally, the conversation turned to the current affairs that the aristocracy was most concerned about.

Mayor John continued, "I believe that it will not be long before there will be a situation in which the princes will be divided and the princes will compete for hegemony. At this time, it is the era of heroes. Our red country is a country established by force, and if we want to gain a real status, military merit is still indispensable. ”

Listening to Mayor John's words, Chen Xing also roughly understood what kind of person the other party was.

Typical of the old aristocratic thinking of the Red Country, advocating force and despising commerce. Although he is extremely humble and admired on the surface, deep down he looks down on people like him, who are about to fight and make money on his own.

Land can only be fought for with the sword, and glory can only be exchanged for blood and fire.

The concept is different, and it is useless to talk about it. Chen Xing quickly took his leave. He wasn't interested in hearing about a cannon fodder's grand cause. The gate valve family is still qualified to fight, and the mayor of a marginal town can only be ruthless.

Once it fails, the town will be even worse, and if it succeeds, it may change the territory, and the residents of the town are still in dire straits.

Chen Xing has been taught by his family since he was a child to "watch the food and eat, tailor the clothes", but in everything, he must do what he can, and go hard, and there is no good result nine times out of ten.

However, he is an earthling, and he can't understand the thoughts of the old nobles of the Red Country, and he can't evaluate right and wrong, after all, people have been doing this for thousands of years, and they haven't seen bad development, so they must have their own reasons.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if he really wants to go to war, there is nowhere to turn to.

Going to Monitor Lizard City to join Alia? Isn't that a long life, the other party has already said that when they meet again, it will be his death

Time limit. It is impossible for him to send his head to someone else to cut off, let alone the eldest princess who was humiliated by him, the Grand Duke of the Red Dragon who robbed his daughter-in-law......

Go to the White Dragon City-State to seek refuge with the fourth prince Joan? Thinking about it too much, the other party began to rectify him before they met, and it is likely that they will not live for half a day when they meet. If you really want to give it a go, it's better to go to Alia, so that you still have a little affection.

As for going to Ice Blue City to seek refuge in Cuilisi, Ajomu guarded the door, and even the little apprentice's family was implicated and fled, and he was not happy to go.

If you have time to do that, it is better to concentrate on developing your own one-third of an acre of land.

He is now making money, making money, making money, and then getting more fakes that absorb the Void Spiritual Energy and more undercurrent relics, strengthening himself and strengthening the team.

In general, it's just one word - Gou!

Gou is old in the wilderness, Gou is in the sun and the moon, and then he goes out of the mountain at full level and kills all directions.

"Master, don't pay attention to him, he's just a brainless old antique." Margares saw that Chen Xing had been silent since he left the mayor's mansion, and comforted her.

"What do you think?" Chen Xing decided to take the test for this little apprentice.

"A team of two hundred people armed with the economic strength of a marginal town is estimated to be incomplete and not qualified to be cannon fodder. Instead of fighting for some false fame, it is better to be like the master and lay a solid foundation. As long as the strength goes up, there will be no chance when you want military merits. ”

Margares shook her ponytail and said with a glance.

"World debris exploration, dangerous incident handling, foreign military conflicts, which thing has no military merits?"

"Saying that it is for glory is actually speculative psychology, taking advantage of the chaos of people, wanting to fish in troubled waters, and exchange the minimum price for the greatest benefit."

"But no one is stupid, and others can think of anything you can think of. In this way, the main theme will become intrigue and deceit, and it will inevitably end up as cannon fodder. ”

"That's my opinion." Margareth made closing remarks. is worthy of the evaluation of "magician", and it is really very rational.

"What kind of people do you think will profit in the end?" Chen Xing asked again.

"The luckiest people." Margareth said without thinking.

"Luck?" Chen Xing was puzzled, "Isn't it strength?" ”

"At a certain level, everyone is smart, and the influence of wisdom is minimized. At this time, it will only be luck that will decide the winner. Margareth said.

"Well said." Chen Xing touched Margareth's head, "Give you a reward, tell Master what you want." ”

"Then I'll have to think about it." Margareth looked thoughtful.

"Don't worry, wait until you think about it." "Uh-huh, Master is the best!"

The two walked all the way to the circus, Margares said goodbye to the head of the troupe and others, and made an appointment to meet in Orchid Town half a month later, and then returned to the float boat and set off back to Orchid Town.
