Wu Xin, who put down the cruel words, did not come back that day, he went to the city lord's mansion to find Murad Bey, but the old Bey had already "gone to bed".

Wu Xin looked at each other in the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, the sun hadn't set yet, and he had only been up for a few hours?

"I really shouldn't have given this old thing so much nutrients." Villefort was really furious, most of the nutrients given to Muradbey were his share, although Wu Xin transferred the part of Cormona's apprenticeship to him, but the "sheep fat haggis" of the female apprentice was only a stalwt, "If we hadn't come to him, he probably wouldn't have gotten out of bed at all, right?" ”

And Murad Bey is extremely sensitive to the quality of nutrients, and he must be elite before he stops, so Villefort's loss is not small.

Although Wu Xin promised to give him some elite-grade nutrients next time, Villefort still couldn't let go.

"I think this old thing will soon die in a woman's belly." Cormona's apprenticeship naturally has grievances.

Delia's nourishment was not brought out, so she did not join in their complaints, but he was also worried: "Murad Beyi is trying to sow discord between us and Muhammad Ali. ”

Wu Xin nodded, this is an obvious thing, and it really makes him embarrassed that the means are so rough.

"Let's come back tomorrow afternoon." Wu Xin knew that Murad Beyi would definitely have to toss himself around before he could give him the manpower and supplies he needed, and it would be a waste of time to come tomorrow morning. "Let's go to the market first and buy some slaves."

The cycle of this mission is relatively long, so Wu Xin and the others have some money that they can't bring back to the main plane, and they can make some limited purchases.

A few people got together, and there were always a few hundred silver coins that could be used to buy some tools.

"Your Excellency Sibo, Your Excellency Sibo? Why is this going? "Just when Wu Xin was about to leave. The local lord of the city, Ahabibeyi, suddenly appeared in the courtyard, and he had also come to look for Murad Beyi. "Let's go see Lord Bey together."

He was a close confidant of Murad Beyi.

"Ahabibeyi." Wu Xin had a good relationship with this Bei Yi, and he allocated all the manpower and materials in the early stage to Wu Xin, and Wu Xin greeted him with a wry smile. "I'm afraid that Lord Murad Bey will not have the time to meet us."

Ahabibayi said a few words to the guards, and his face turned as black as Wu Xin.

He shook his head. Then he invited Wu Xin to his office: "Muradbey has worked too hard in the past few months, and now he really needs to rest, don't take it to heart." ”

He was trying to exonerate old Bey, and he was also exculpating himself.

However, his excuse is really not much, considering that he has also smoked opium for a long time and tossed several women, he can't be too demanding of him.

Wu Xin nodded understandingly, not understanding Murad Beyi's need to rest, but understanding Ahabi Beyi's explanation. He knew that Ahabibeyi was a close confidant of Murad Beyi, and that he had also pulled it up.

He invited Wu Xin again: "That's it, the materials and manpower you want, I will find a way to give you a little even, it just so happens that I am also looking for His Royal Highness Xibo You have some other things, let's have a meal together." ”

As the lord of the city, he actually has resources that are by no means below the newcomer Muhammad Ali, but Muhammad Ali has been raising troops from scratch. And he has put all his resources into strengthening his position.

In addition to currying favor with the leader, it should be to buy land for his family. Anyway, when Wu Xin looked at him, he felt that he saw a bureaucrat who had no ideals and discipline.

"Okay, we'll be right here." Wu Xin felt that it was also necessary to contact this local snake, but there was no need for everyone to do this together, he could just accept the invitation himself.

Yara was taking the laborers to a good meal in the city and cheering them up.

"You two go to Muhammad Ali again. He must have been working at night too. "Wu Xin and Delia followed Ahabibeyi to his office, but Villefort and Colmona had their own business to do." I must let them know that Murad Beyi has my back. ”

Villefort and Cormona glanced at each other, both of them had a headache about the job, but Wu Xin had already told them the meaning of this matter. So they were embarrassed, but they accepted it.

Instead, it was the Ahabibeyi who advised Wu Xin: "Your Highness, Muhammad Ali is a very stubborn person, and I don't think you should rush your subordinates too much." ”

"Hmph, Muhammad Ali!" Wu Xin hatefully said the name that annoyed him again, but he still waved his hand at Villefort, "Give him another chance, if I force me to invite Murad Beyi over tomorrow, make him ugly!" ”

Seeing Wu Xin so stern, Ahbibeyi rolled his eyes and felt that he could still pull the relationship: "In this way, I will also write you a note, and then let my adjutant go with your subordinates to talk to Muhammad Ali." ”

Murad Beyi's strips were ineffective, and Ahabi Beyi knew that his strips would not be useful, but he was also extremely hostile to Muhammad Ali.

Muhammad Ali openly stated that he despised Ahabibei and that he was a shameless villain by giving Murad Beyi those corrupt items and all kinds of slave girls.

It's ridiculous, and Ahabibei feels completely wronged, not that he didn't do those things.

But he didn't want to, if it wasn't for the leader who liked this, how could he sacrifice this?

Wu Xin also knew that the strip would not be useful, and Muhammad Ali would definitely continue to adhere to the image of a soldier who loved his son.

But Wu Xin and Ai Habi can just have a relationship, which is very necessary.

"Thank you so much, Mohammed Ali, an Albanian who thinks he was sent by His Majesty the Caliphate, is one rank higher than us and does not give Mamluk face!" Of course, Wu Xin's position is very firm.

"Who's to say it isn't?" Ahabibeyi was also unfriendly to the Ottoman reinforcements, "not only him, but also his subordinates were all arrogant." ”

While talking, Wu Xin and Ahabibeyi's dinner also began, Wu Xin's female companion was a Deliya, and Ahabibeyi only let one of his wives accompany him.

Of course, the slave girl who served the food was a little bit less, and it was as extravagant as his dinner party. He ate no worse than Murad Bey, and he did not treat himself badly except for giving up his best bedroom to Old Bey.

"Come on, take a tube, this thing can make people's minds open and think unlimited. After I smoked this, I always felt like I could see the magic web. "Ahabibei is serious, as if he really isn't a drug addict.

Wu Xin resolutely refused the opium, but Ahabibeyi smoked it himself.

During the meal, Wu Xin and Di Liya worked together, knocking on the side for a long time, hoping to keep some of the existing laborers and give them to a group of hundreds of laborers.

However, Ahabibeyi has been playing haha, repeatedly saying that the population of the southern part of Egypt is limited and not as good as the big cities close to the north. It's really difficult.

He was only willing to keep Wu Xin's existing dozens of laborers, and then give him a few strong half-orc slaves to drive.

His words are partly true, that the southern part of Egypt is indeed much worse than the northern regions close to the Mediterranean, and that with the development of seafaring technology, the economic center inevitably shifts more and more towards the seaside.

Therefore, Thebes, which was known as the "capital of a hundred gates" in ancient times, has now been buried by a bowl of loess.

But the course of the Nile is stable, and flooding at times, even in the middle reaches. It is also the most developed agriculture and the most densely populated place in the entire Black Continent.

It's not the farming season again. It is not difficult to organize the labor of hundreds of people.

And although the money for the purchase of orc slaves has always been in his hands, which is also the doctrine that Wu Xin gave to Murad Bey, and is an important precaution against Muhammad-Ali, this method has not worked.

After purchasing the orcs, Muhammad Ali sent his right-hand men to arrange for the slaves to be bathed and a good meal.

Finally, he addressed them personally. He speaks the language of the orcs and gives them hope for life.

The most important thing is that when the orcs were grouped, Muhammad Ali carefully selected them one by one, and pulled all the strong and obedient orcs into his team.

And Ahabibeyi always entrusted his subordinates. His subordinates will not be loyal to their duties at all, and for the sake of a little profit, they will give all the good goods to their competitors.

The strong half-orcs were all taken away by Muhammad Ali, and the so-called strong half-orcs of Ahbibeyi were only barely usable.

Of course, Wu Xin couldn't give up, he endured the smoke in the room, and continued to insist on his request: "Ahbibeyi, I really took care of you some time ago, and now I have found the ancient city of Thebes, and I ask you to continue to support me later." ”

"Thebes? Everyone says that this ancient capital is near the city of Casona, is it true? "Ahabibei doesn't feel anything about this, there are many ruins of ancient Egypt, whether it's ancient cities, tombs, temples or temples themselves, it's not something unusual.

What is rare is the ruins that have not been destroyed and stolen and excavated, Wu Xin obviously did not find such a thing, otherwise he would have shouted a long time ago.

"I found the obelisk, the treasure that the ancient Drow inscribed for the pharaoh to attack, it is tens of meters high, as long as I have enough manpower, I can dig it up." Despite the fact that Wu Xin did find something, it was just that he himself was a little lacking in confidence. "Although it is broken into several pieces, it should not be difficult to reassemble them."

Actually, it's not easy to do at all.

"An obelisk tens of meters high? How can you know the specific height? "Although Ahabibeyi is a bit confused, he still has common sense, and over the years, he has dug no less graves and temples.

Wu Xin said to Ai Habi quite surely: "The pillar is indeed very tall, but it has fallen to the ground, and it is only two or three meters deep into the ground, and it is not difficult to dig it out, but unfortunately the divine power of the spider goddess on it has dissipated, and it can only be used as an ornament." ”

Listening to his words, Ahabibeyi, who had been in high spirits just now, suddenly had a spirit, the ancient obelisk is the most valuable cultural relic, even if the god worshipped has perished, there will still be monarchs and churches to spend a lot of money to buy it.

Erecting an obelisk with a history of thousands of years in his own square is indeed a face-saving thing.

And not only can it be flaunted, but this kind of thing often entrusts a trace of the power of the ancient gods, and it is also valuable to the current gods.

"This thing is not worth much in the Black Continent, but if it can be transported to Alexandria, the monarch of the Old Continent will pay a lot of money to buy it." Ahbibeyi immediately came up with an idea to make a fortune.

"Sold to the Old World?" Wu Xin was slightly startled, now that the Mediterranean coastline is completely controlled by the French, only the exit facing the Red Sea remains, "Transshipment from the Red Sea?" It's also too far away. ”

Ahbibeyi smiled smugly: "Of course you can't transship from the Red Sea, the journey south around the Cape of Good Hope is so far, what should I do if the obelisk sinks, you can rest assured, I can naturally do this thing, war is war, business is business." Although the French are mostly infidels, there are some sensible people, and a few of them are willing to do some business with me. ”

Wu Xin listened to his words and showed a sudden expression, he had also heard in the past few days that this Ahabibeyi was also a Mamluk from the Caucasus Mountains, but his net worth was more than that of many Mamluks who had lasted for more than ten generations.

Although he has become an aristocrat very early because of the talent of the spellcaster, after all, he has only accumulated more than ten years.

It's just extremely good at management, so there is a lot of property.

"Ahabibeyi is really a great talent, a character who can make the enemy admire, is a real hero!" Wu Xin guessed that this guy not only sold supplies to the French, but also may also provide intelligence. "With a figure like Ahabi Beyi assisting Muradbeyi, we will certainly have no problem restoring Egypt."

"The casters are the most noble people in the world, we must support each other!" Ahabibei is one of the few mages who does not look down on warlocks, he only looks down on pedantic poor ghosts, since the result of the temptation is so smooth, Wu Xin is so upright, he immediately said. "In that case, when the obelisk is dug up, you will hand it over to me, and we will divide it into fifty and fifty, and we will not let you suffer a loss, brother!"

Wu Xin hurriedly thanked him, and then said that fifty-five is too much: "How dare you, how dare you, I just did some insignificant strength work, where can I compare to Brother Aihabi, you thread the needle and lead the way, and the hard work of establishing a relationship, how can you divide it into fifty-fifty, big brother, you give me as much as you want, there is one or two percent, I will be satisfied." ”

Ahabibei hurriedly waved his hand, and his female companion immediately burst into laughter, and it seemed that this business had something to do with her.

The female companion wore a Middle Eastern veil, but she had eyes of the same color as Delia.

Wu Xin thought that Delia would be impatient, but she didn't expect that she had been behaving well and was quite enthusiastic with that woman.

In the end, the two sides agreed that the obelisk would be divided into three or seven, and Ahabibeyi would give Wu Xin dozens of slaves, enough for a hundred, to help him dig up the obelisk.

Wu Xin was quite satisfied with this result, and the atmosphere gradually rose, just like the temperature in the room, and Ahbibeyi had other things to discuss with him. (To be continued.) )
