Chapter 280: Wu Xin's Mansion
The gate of Wu Xin's mansion is not as tall as Xiong Tingbi's Jingluo Yamen, and the color is not vermilion, but low-key gray.
There are no stone lions or anything like that in front of the door, but once you walk in, the courtyard inside is so deep and quiet that even a Frenchman like Barthez can feel the comfort and tranquility in it.
His father was just a poor knight with a dozen acres of land and three tenants, and it was his limit to bear a horse and a piece of armor for the sake of his eldest son.
The second son, Barthez, could only be sent to the Knights Hospitaller.
But even if Barthez had not seen much of the world, he could instinctively feel the taste and status of his master in this courtyard.
He had seen the Earl's mansion from afar, and it was far from it.
Wu Xin was able to speak when the first and second rank officials were in a meeting, and the power displayed in it was actually much greater, but for a guy like Batez who had never seen the world, it was still more impactful to this mansion.
The French trainee knows that he has really joined an amazing team this time.
"Is this really our mansion?" He couldn't hear what Wu Xin was going to do to Sun Degong at all, so he just stammered and asked.
At this time, Wu Xin's family also appeared, several servants, and a housekeeper.
They respectfully saluted Wu Xin, and then put the tea set and snacks in the courtyard.
"This is the mansion of His Excellency Xibo, you have not made an inch, where can we be counted?" It was Yara who spoke, and she was almost dizzy with happiness with the precious porcelain cup in her hand, and it was worth it. This is a "backbone" level weapon, and this green tea, such a good tea. The price is about the same as the same volume of "elite" nutrients, right?
She guessed wrong,
She is actually not much stronger than the background of this French knight, but it is this background that makes her impatient to find a sense of existence.
And there are no concubines, which seems to be considered restraint.
This made Wu Xin make up all the way, and the excuse of preparing to perfunctory Di Lia did not work.
However, building such a big house on the front line, Wu Xin felt that it should not be his own style, but he couldn't be sure. Maybe there's a devil deep down in you?
After the family retreated, Wu Xin immediately glared at Yala, then patted Barthez on the shoulder and said, "Of course you are also us." Do a good job this time, don't go back to Malta Island in the future, just stay in the port of Tripoli. ”
"The port of Tripoli is much more prosperous today than the island of Malta, and there is no room for development on that island." Kessler glared at Yarra as well. Hurriedly joined the digging activity of this apprenticeship. "And His Excellency Sibo also treats the French equally, as you can see, he will definitely avenge our dead comrades, although the time he fought with us is so short."
Wu Xin is actually interested in all those who don't believe in the Xingyue Sect, and for the French group that is now retreating with him towards the port of Tripoli, Wu Xin actually has ambitions.
It's just that Valletta's leadership is relatively strong, and the French team is still relatively united, so Wu Xin can't do anything but send them back to Malta Island.
Now there is an unexpected breakthrough. Wu Xin had some other thoughts.
"What are you doing?! There is also a shortage of manpower on the island of Malta. "As the priest of Ciric, Delia saw through Wu Xin's actions at a glance." With our English group, aren't you satisfied? ”
"Malta is an isolated island, and if you have too many people, it will only cause supply difficulties, and the port of Tripoli is connected by land and sea, and the more people you have, the more powerful you are." Wu Xin hurriedly appeased Delia.
This kind of statement is not a lie, but it has a clear position.
Wu Xin is actually reluctant to let the proportion of French on Malta Island be too high, although there has been no change for the time being, but Wu Xin knows that this population ratio is the basis of the change.
"The land of the port of Tripoli .................." Delia was about to say, but was interrupted by Galilei.
"You guys are enough, these things, you will talk about them when you get to the main plane, and it is important to do the right thing first." Galilei spoke, and he said to Wu Xin, "If you take this plane, you will have everything, and the authority of the plane will always be given priority to the conqueror, even if your port of Tripoli is lost." As long as you can still benefit from this plane, back to Malta, you are also an incomparably powerful faction, relying on the support of the emperor and the regent, you have a great chance of running for the head of the regiment. ”
"What's the matter with this beast of yours, why did you suddenly go berserk and bite people?" Kessler turned his attention to Galile, "Either you let it deal with that Sun Degong as soon as possible and save the newcomer this time, or you don't move at all, let His Highness Xibo go down and negotiate with that civil official, and make him pay the price, do you know that this beast has done this kind of half-baked thing, and we have suffered a lot of losses!" ”
Although the cooperation between Galilei and Wu Xin is a one-off, and Kessler is the first to join the team forever, there is still some weak competition between them.
Galile's performance in the main plane has already surpassed Kessler's first seat, and the same is true for his treatment, and the price of his single attack is close to the sum of the various resources that Wu Xin has allocated to Kessler's first seat in the past few months.
Kessler knew that the price was somewhat reasonable, but his jealousy was difficult to control, and their relationship in Austria was not good after all.
This time, however, he was right, and Galilei was speechless at once.
However, Da Wang still bared his teeth and grinned, with no intention of repenting at all.
Delia and Villefort also looked at the druid, much to Galire's embarrassment, knowing that he was a highly-anticipated special reinforcement, but the first scene was terrible.
"Hmph, I showed our strength, just my animal companion repelled that core-level enemy, who would dare to disrespect us in the Empire of Light in the future?" Of course, Galileh finally found an explanation, "Without my struggle, the compensation given by Wang Huazhen would be insufficient." ”
His words can be regarded as having a certain truth, and strength is always respectable.
"You didn't do it again. Is your stupid dog's judgment reliable? Kessler was still unconvinced, "This is a C3-level plane, and at most there will be a core-level enemy from the enemy." It should be that elf Khan Daishan, shouldn't this Sun Degong be so strong, right? ”
Of course, there are core-level figures in the Bright Empire, but they are within the Shanhaiguan and cannot participate in battles that do not determine the fate of this plane, and in essence, they are not part of this plane for the time being.
"Maybe there's a particularly strong core on the enemy's side." In fact, Galilei had used his hands, and his attacks were almost ineffective against Sun Degong. However, this explanation hurt the druid's self-esteem too much, so he didn't say this, "Or does the enemy have two core-level characters?" ”
Galileh himself is not very sure. Because his experience and intelligence also told him that in the sub-plane of this level, there should be one or two "cores" on the enemy's side, and they are very strong cores.
The core is a caster who can use at least level 7 magic magic. Or the corresponding thirteenth level warrior, wanderer, etc.
"It's possible." Villefort agreed with Galile. "We have faced an elf and devil priest named Hong Tai, he is at least the peak elite, and the magic circle that envelops the entire city, not only can confuse people's minds, but also extract people's lives for the use of the elf khan, and it is definitely a core-level magic circle."
"And the elf Khan wild boar skin that never appeared, if we don't dismantle the magic circle in Shenyang City in time, he will come back from Liaoyang. He's definitely a core-level enemy, right. Delia also supported Galilei.
As old men who had participated in the previous missions throughout the entire process, they all instinctively expanded their exploits. It's human nature.
"Then maybe it's true that the enemy will have a few core levels?" Kessler's first seat was also shaken, "Then no matter what, this Sun Degong is the key to our completion of the task, and he was offended too hard just now, maybe I will apologize to him later?" ”
"He killed our teammates as soon as he came up, which shows that his attitude towards us is very bad, which should also be one of the difficulties of the task, and this Sun Degong must be a great sin." Galilei said that he could not help it, "My great Wang is as jealous as hatred, and if it were not for the most vicious people, it would not have launched a slash." ”
Dawang no longer cared about these stupid humans, and at this time the meat ripping dragon was fishing in the pond in the courtyard, unceremoniously picking up and eating the ornamental fish raised in Wu Xin's pond, and Wu Xin's housekeeper and servants were shouting and screaming to stop it.
"Probably not, this Sun Degong and we have never met." Villefort said.
However, he is not very sure, Wu Xin can get such a large manor during the mission, and naturally he may also make enemies.
Wu Xin still feels that apologizing is the next policy, although it is reasonable to kill people by marching methods, but killing people is definitely a sign of great malice, and Wu Xin's decision may be an irreconcilable contradiction.
However, he stopped his teammates from continuing: "Don't guess, wait for more information, let's start our own business first." ”
As soon as he spoke, everyone fell silent, even Galile and Kessler.
Although their strength is strong, they have experienced many reincarnation tasks, and knowing Wu Xin's speaking power and strength today means how well he has completed the previous tasks.
Wu Xin vaguely understood something in his heart, could it be that such a good courtyard actually has the meaning of deterring teammates and establishing authority?
Kessler was the first to express his support for Wu Xin: "Yes, we will first expand our strength and influence based on ourselves. Xiong Tingbi's side quest there is obviously assigned to the Spaniards, and we can only go to Wang Huazhen to take over the task, try to expand the strength of the Bright Empire while easing the relationship with Sun Degong, at least not intensifying. The span of this mission is one year, we have to make a long-term plan, the early side tasks are our inevitable means to strengthen our strength, we have to take as many tasks as possible. ”
Wu Xin shook his head: "Taking over Wang Huazhen's task is not the best policy, and you can't please Sun Degong, but to guard against him, everyone should not only see the value of his strength to our task, but also see his danger, and then I can figure out why his attitude is so bad, everyone must always remember that he killed one of our teammates, saving himself is the first priority." ”
Wu Xin's words made everyone feel at ease, and everyone nodded yes.
Only Kessler felt that this was wrong in his heart, he only cared about Wu Xin's interests, as long as he could hold Sun Degong, it would be nothing to sacrifice everyone except himself and Galile, no matter how difficult the task would be in the future, as long as he ate this plane first, he would not worry about having no manpower and material resources.
Of course, he only thinks that Wu Xin is buying people's hearts.
Wu Xin continued: "Let's not compete with the Spaniards for Xiong Tingbi's mission, in this Guangning City, in addition to Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen, there are several civil officials who may issue side quests, although their level is low, but the security should be relatively guaranteed. There are also two general corps that definitely have side quests to develop. ”
"That's right, that Li Shizhong should be the young man who broke the phantom array with us last time!" Villefort suddenly roared, the wanderer's IQ was indeed tragic, and he didn't realize it until now, "If it weren't for us at that time, their family would have been completely finished, this kid is the count of the Empire of Light, their count is much more powerful than our earl, the empire with a population of hundreds of millions of people, there are only dozens of marquis and earls, and a few dukes." ”
And even Kessler Shouzao and Galile knew that when the two of them were preparing for the mission, they knew that this young man with deep ties in Liaodong would definitely be able to take the position this time and would be an important helper for them to complete the task.
Li Shizhong is indeed powerful, not only has a large amount of property and connections, but also is the only person in the entire Liaodong officialdom who must be respected by civil officials, which can be seen in the meeting just now, Wang Huazhen specially mentioned his title.
"Then we'll go find him later?" Joel, the old fisherman, also felt that this young man was an important asset to his side.
Wu Xin raised his hand to stop them: "What I want to tell you is not to go to Li Shizhong on purpose, let alone mention our past friendship in the relationship. ”
Wu Xin's words made everyone look at each other, and he continued: "We are Jinyiwei, the eyes and ears and minions of the Emperor of Light, and it has nothing to do with a poor relationship with a local official, but we must not have a good relationship with a certain local official. ”
Kessler also said: "Among Ladislaus's cronies, there is a man named Sirika, who is an old man of His Royal Highness the Regent when he was a teenager, and was appointed by him as the deputy of the intelligence department. This man later fell out of favor and was sent to the bitter cold, ostensibly because he used the intelligence service to deal in hallucinogens and was corrupt, but in fact because he had too good a relationship with several officials he was responsible for monitoring. ”
Galilei also nodded, he knew some details about the inside story of Sirika's downfall, but Kessler's first seat was a good example.
This situation made Wu Xin's teammates look embarrassed.
"My lord, Governor Wang's butler has arrived, and he has brought several carriages." At this time, Wu Xin's housekeeper came. (To be continued.) )
