Chapter 110: Akagi City Lord
Not long after the students of Qingyun Academy set off on their journey, Nie Zheng came to their camp last night and found a piece of paper from under the bark of a large tree with a strange pattern.
"Goblin Gollum has become the accountant of the Deserted City, and will soon be carrying supplies to the Deserted City. ”
Nie Zheng smiled happily, took out a bottle of wine and took a few sips.
It is often said that there is never love for no reason, and there is no hate for no reason.
In the Dalan Continent, it is also inconceivable to ask a shadow warrior with a handsome soul to protect a civilian for a long time, and the reason for this is intriguing. And listening to the meaning of the high-level of the Qunying Society, Nie Zheng is not only the identity of a bodyguard, but also the attitude of a follower. When he first heard this decision, Nie Zheng was angry, but as time went by, the more he got to know the fat man, the more he felt that he was so incredible.
In fact, more than ten days ago, that is, the day after the experienced students left the deserted city, Nie Zheng had been to the deserted city.
Before he entered the deserted city, he only saw the stone tablet at the gate of the city that said: Those who commit the orcs in the deserted city will be punished even if they are far away. They will be amazed by the courage and determination of these children.
The deserted city is a thriving scene, although the orcs are still injured and their bodies are still very weak, but everyone's faces are full of happy smiles, and they are also full of expectations for the future.
The whole city looks dilapidated, full of ruined houses, but every part of it is so clean and tidy, even cleaner than a human city.
When I came to the only hotel in the whole city, I didn't expect to be able to drink a good wine called "Erguotou". It turned out to be a Pig-like orc, and it was a Pig-tribe who had been very clean-washed, which subverted the impression of an orc, which had always been filthy and stinky.
The most unacceptable thing is that this dish is still made by the Pigg orcs, and it is very delicious.
When Nie Zheng said that he was bored and was interested in all kinds of strange things in the deserted city he saw, some orcs would come to tell him about the glorious battle records of the students of Qingyun Academy here.
In their mouths, Nie Zheng found that the one they talked about the most was a fat man, and it should be said that all their current life and future plans were designed by this fat man for them.
Every orc's words of praise are so sincere, there is absolutely no false component, but it may be a little exaggerated, and those who don't know worship the fat man as a god.
It's just that Nie Zheng, who lived in a deserted city for one night, gave a high evaluation here, and his heart was full of praise, and when he checked out, it was originally five silver coins, but Nie Zheng gave them a rare gold coin.
From the high-level to the ordinary employees at the bottom, from Qingyun Academy to the deserted city, everyone who knows the fat man will give him the same evaluation: a man who can create miracles.
From the moment Nie Zheng stepped out of the deserted city, his mentality changed, that is, he was a follower of a fat man from today onwards, and he was willing, without any coercion.
Since he is a follower, he should share his master's worries, and a night in the deserted city also let him know what the orcs lack, such as the finances of the accounts. Originally, Nie Zheng didn't think of this, but he suddenly realized it after seeing a goblin who was still affectionate and righteous.
The goblin was sent to the master as a gift, and at the same time, it was also to test the master's heart, and it was also to arrange a way back for the goblin, after all, the fat man thought farther and better than himself. Fortunately, there is a nephew of his comrade-in-arms in the BIBS class, who left a message for himself from the moment he left the city, so that he could better understand the fat man's every move.
Now you can't call it fat, it should be the master, but I don't know if the master agrees with himself as a follower?
As he walked, Shada was teaching the goblin Gollum more advanced bookkeeping methods, such as flow bookkeeping and loan bookkeeping.
Goblin Gollum also learns new knowledge very quickly, perhaps this can be equated with money, and the desire for money, goblins and dragons have a fight.
Humanity's desire for money is also huge, but in the continent of Darran, the most serious ones are goblins and dragons.
Seeing that the goblins and Shada were talking happily, Murong Qingtian and the people around them all glanced at each other, and they all had an idea, that is, it might be a good idea to find a goblin to manage their finances.
Wei Yu lifted his glasses a little and looked at Murong Qingtian and said, "He is so smart, and his knowledge is so eccentric and knowledgeable, do you think he looks like an amnesiac person?"
Murong Haitian hurriedly said: "Why doesn't he lose his memory in anything, but he just asked him where he came from to have amnesia, if he really believes it, isn't he a fool?"
Murong Qingtian smiled and said, "Whoever doesn't believe should be a fool." ”
Everyone around them was a little stunned, but they all felt reasonable when they thought about it.
Shada said dryly, and after drinking a glass of water, he asked Gollum, "I think you still have to go back to Mt. Kashan." This time, I'll send the guards of the Heroes Society to go with you and help you buy the supplies they need.
If it is said that the entire Snow Night Mercenary Group has been sacrificed, you are the only one who will go back to naturally arouse their doubts. But if you go back with supplies, even if they don't believe it, they can't help but suspect it. The most important thing is that the deserted city has no human habitation, which will always make people who go to travel uneasy, and escorting the orphans and widows of the Snow Night Mercenary Group to settle in the deserted city is a good thing for both. ”
Gollum was a little moved, and tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes: "Thank you master for thinking so thoughtfully, so that the human life of Kashan is not so difficult, and it has washed away the stains on my body." I must do a good job in the deserted city, and I must build the deserted city into a paradise, so that everyone who travels to the deserted city feels at home. ”
Shada smiled and nodded, "Very good, but don't call me master, just call the boss." ”
Gollum shouted loudly, "It's the boss!"
After climbing over a big mountain, a city gradually came into everyone's eyes, and that was the first destination of their trip, Akagi.
Three mountains stand in Akagi, and there are watchtowers on the mountains, and soldiers and horses are constantly being there all year round. The current lord of Akagi is called Chizhong, and he is a famous son of a family in Akagi. Since the invasion of the demons more than a hundred years ago, the first human city lord of Akagi changed his surname to Chi, because he is an orphan of Akagi, and it is also appropriate to be of the same sex as Akagi.
Although humans and elves take turns to be the lord of the city every ten years, the lord of the human city is always the son of the Chi family, and for more than a hundred years, it can be said that the four generations of the Chi family have been the lord of the city of Chicheng. One can imagine the prestige of the Chi family in Akagi.
Seeing Chicheng means that you are about to step into the territory of the Tianming Kingdom, which can also be said to be the dividing line between the Jintang Kingdom and the Tianming Kingdom, the original Fangcao City is a trade city between the two borders, if it weren't for the invasion of the demons, and the reputation of this place has been improved, maybe this can only be an ordinary small city.
When there were still five miles away from the city, the city guards of Chicheng came to greet the students of Qingyun Academy, to be precise, to greet the Marquis Qianyulin of the Tianming Kingdom. Chi Zhong is the general of the Tianming Kingdom, in his early thirties, his strength is a high-level soul general, and he has not been the city lord for a few years. It can be said that his qualifications are still shallow, and his title is only a second-class earl, and Qian Yulin's title is higher than him, and he is also a military lord, not a Wen Jue, so he can barely be regarded as Chizhong's boss.
Here, the marquis title of Qianyulin is much better than the name of Murong Qingtian's Prince of the Golden Tang Dynasty.
The city guards of several hundred men welcomed the convoy to the gates of Akagi, where they met the elite Red Shadow Army led by Chizhong. When the Red Shadow Army and the City Guards stand together, they show even more extraordinary, and you can know with soul power that the Red Shadow Army is all soul armor souls, without exception, while the City Guards are good and bad, or even just fighters. However, there is another peculiarity of these two forces, that is, they are mixed with another race: elves.
Although there is a difference in the strength of the two troops, it can be seen in the eyes of Shada and his party that they are all elite soldiers, and they are by no means soldiers or honor guards specially set up.
At this moment, the leader of the academy team was Qian Yulin, not the usual Murong Qingtian. When Qianyulin gradually approached the gate of the city, he saw the Red Shadow Army led by the city lord Chizhong set up a formation and saluted to Qianyulin.
The thirty-year-old fierce general saluted a childish child, and it was a big salute, many people may feel aggrieved for this fierce general, and even feel that this fierce self will feel ashamed.
But Shada could see that this fierce general did not have the slightest perfunctory and pretentiousness, but sincerely saluted Qianyu Forest.
The figure of Qianyulin flickered, and came to Chi Zhong's side, quickly helped him up, and said a little helplessly:
"Uncle Chizhong, how can the little nephew be such a great gift to you, it's really a shame for the little nephew, please hurry up!"
Chi Zhong laughed and said: "Don't forget, I have been trained under the old general of Qianyu since I was a child, if it weren't for the old general's protection, how could I have achieved what I have today." Besides, you are still a marquis, and it is only right for me, the earl, to salute you. ”
Having said that, it depends on who the other party is, if he has no friendship with Chizhong, even the duke will not be able to make this tough guy bend his waist.
Speaking of Qianyulin's grandfather, Qianyulin was also a little sad, and his eyes were slightly moist and said:
"This title is false, Uncle Chizhong was under my grandfather's command back then, and he fought bravely, and when my grandfather was alive, he always praised you to me and asked me to take you as an example. ”
Chi Zhong laughed even louder: "Then you must have endured hardships a lot, and you don't hold a grudge against me in your heart." ”
Qian Yulin scratched the back of his head and said embarrassedly: "At first, there were some, but in recent years, I really realized grandpa's good intentions." ”
After finishing speaking, Qian Yulin knelt down in front of Chi Zhong and saluted, and then said, "Here, I would like to thank Uncle Chi Zhong for being a role model for my generation and inspiring me in my life. ”
Chi Zhong picked up Qian Yulin with a smile and said, "Good boy, your grandfather must be very relieved to see it, your father doesn't even know ......"
knew that he had lost his words, after all, Qianyulin's father suddenly said goodbye, and it was not easy to say this, so Chi Zhong stopped.
The two then chatted casually with each other.
"What do you think of Chi Zhong?"
Murong Qingtian looked at Sha Da and asked, because he believed in Sha Da's eyes to see people.
Shada looked at Akagi's military appearance carefully, and saw Chizhong's family-like expression.
"Loyal ministers and good generals are hard to find in the world. ”
Murong Qingtian smiled and said, "Don't look at his age, but he is the one who has received the real inheritance, guess whose inheritance he gets?"
"Who?"
"Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan. ”
"Five sons are good, and the Marquis of Zhen Gang!"
