The autumn wind swept by, and the yellowing leaves swirled and fell, and now the villagers went into the mountains more and more often, young and old, not idle, not because they wanted to go into the mountains to hunt, but because winter was coming, and they had to add more firewood to their homes and store it before the snow fell. In this era, if there is not enough firewood in winter, you can only hide near the crystal pillar to spend the winter, but the problem is ...... Because the place is warm, not only humans will pass, but all kinds of carnivorous creatures and poisonous insects also like to run to rest near the crystal pillar in winter, and even grab territory.

Ordinary people are no match for lone wolves and Garfield, and besides, ordinary people who stay at the crystal pillar for a few days will have a constant nosebleed for unknown reasons.

Every time the villagers went into the mountains, they would pick up a small part of the firewood that came out of it and put it in front of Chen Xiansong's door, and then the housekeeper Barff would take it to the warehouse in the backyard, and it didn't take long for the warehouse to be full of high-quality firewood.

Chen Xiansong naturally knew about these things, but he didn't stop them, when others sent things, that is, they could afford you, they were human, and they couldn't refuse because firewood was worthless. Originally, the relationship between the nobles and the people was a little estranged, and if he refused, it would most likely make him and the villagers bitter, and would destroy the hard-won sense of closeness.

Because Black Rock City had won a big victory that it hadn't had in decades, the whole city was filled with celebrity. Chen Xiansong sat in the carriage, arrived at the association, and then looked out of the upstairs window and watched the traffic on the street. Although he is not good at political things, he still smells the strangeness hidden under this celebratory city.

The materials in the world are limited, and if you take more, others will get less. In this way, there were nearly 5,000 prisoners...... And he caught the feudal minister of the enemy country. The patriarch of the Dolan family. Such merit will definitely make them more powerful, and it will also inevitably rob others of the rights or wealth that they should have.

Those who ponder for what souls will be welcome, because they can create new 'things', and although some new things will replace the old, in general, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, and they will give others more things, greater benefits. So very few people are hostile to the soul-contemplative in the real interest.

Chen Xiansong didn't know what kind of turbulent waves were hidden in this city, but he was no longer the hairy boy he used to be, and the association's huge intelligence network sent a lot of valuable information. Let him vaguely guess a lot of things.

"Balve, you'll be in my name. Tell Zelonger a word: take care of your own salt pans. and take care of your own door, there are many thieves these days. ”

Balf took the order and left. Chen Xiansong sighed, he didn't want to get involved in the struggle between the nobles, but anyway, now the City Lord's Mansion is his ally, an ally who has drunk blood wine. Even if you don't help your allies when they are in trouble, you have to be reminded of them anyway. Let Balf convey a word, that is, he has done his part.

After doing what he had to do, Chan began to deal with the affairs of the association. Some time ago, the city was closed, and no one took care of the affairs of the association, and a lot of trivial things were accumulated, which was a little troublesome to deal with. It wasn't until night was about to fall that he finished his business, and when he returned home, he hadn't sat for long, when Zeloner took Verde and a cavalry team of more than a hundred people to Greystone Village.

They escorted a dozen wagons, each with deep marks on its wheels, covered with black hemp cloth, and it was not clear what it was.

Zelonger came directly to the hall, while Verde handed over the goods to Balf, and the escort was on the side to help, and as soon as these experienced maids moved the large boxes under the black cloth, and then saw the subtle sound that happened, they knew what was in the road, real gold coins.

These dozen cars, each car has more than a dozen boxes! Everyone in the escort team took a cold breath, these gold coins, if used to buy their lives, were enough to make them die more than 10,000 times.

Ze Longer entered the hall, and then walked up to Chen Xiansong's study on the second floor, he had seen all the warblers and Yanyan in this room, although he was very envious of Chen Xiansong's Yanfu, but he would not have any thoughts. He is a qualified nobleman, and a qualified nobleman can control his lust, know reason, and know how to make trade-offs.

There are many books in Chen Xiansong's study, which is in line with his identity as a contemplative of his soul. Zeloner had been here several times, and he had noticed that there were more and more books in it...... And he found that these books seemed to be newly made, and the written titles, with beautiful handwriting, seemed to be in a woman's font.

These books are actually written by Bai Min and Bai Qianxin. Natural people like to read, so the two of them reproduce the knowledge stored in their chips in this way, after all, natural people do not have chips in their heads, and it is impossible to transmit information through data lines or wireless.

In this day and age, books represent knowledge, and it is not an exaggeration that a book can sometimes bring down a family. Ze Long'er glanced at it casually, and didn't dare to look at it more, if an ordinary little nobleman dared to put so many books in his study, the consequences would probably be very miserable, but Chen Xiansong was accompanied by two sun god servants, and he was still a soul contemplative, and there were more than two hundred powerful mercenaries, Ze Long'er believed that even the royal family would not dare to spy on his books.

"Sit, old friend, you're welcome." Chen Xiansong was drawing something on a drawing, but he casually glanced up at Ze Long'er and lowered it again.

Ze Long'er was not polite, pulled a chair and sat down, he said, "I heard that you have a new drink here, called milk tea?" If you don't give me a cup, I'm curious. ”

"Don't worry. You won't be disappointed. Chen Xiansong put down the paintbrush in his hand with a smile, and then said, "Looking at your look, there must be something very important to tell me." We've drunk blood wine, so we don't have to beat around the bush, just say what you want, ask, I'll listen. It's not too early now, and you know that I have a habit of going to bed early. ”

Ze Longer said with a smile: "Actually, there is nothing to do, one is to send you your share of the ransom, and the other is that you asked someone to bring me a message today, we are very grateful, these days are very busy, so we relaxed our vigilance, in the afternoon we checked a little, things are really a little hanging, if there is no reminder from you, after a while, my life will be sad." ”

"You're not really just talking about these things, are you?" Chen Xiansong smiled: "If you don't tell the truth again, I'm going to drive people out." ”

Ze Long'er took a deep breath: "Some time ago, I was here in your house, and I heard a loud noise in the back mountain, and black smoke rose from time to time, I was wondering, have you developed a new weapon, a very powerful weapon." But a few days ago, when you came to the rescue, I didn't see you using it, so I wanted to ask, what did you do? ”

There was a soft knock at the door, and after a few breaths, Alice came in with two cups of milk tea, put them on the table and retreated, closing the door for the two of them by the way.

Chen Xiansong looked at Ze Long'er and asked slowly, "Why do you think it's a weapon?" ”

"Intuition!" Zelonger said categorically.

Intuition is the prerogative of natural people, and cyborgs and new humans have never had it. As for the post-human beings whose thinking has been restricted, he doesn't dare to speculate whether he owns Chen Xiansong or not, but he can be sure that Ze Longer must have arranged spies for himself, and he roughly knows something.

In this regard, Chen Xiansong was not angry. It's human nature, and it's what a good lord should do. He said lightly: "Yes, I originally wanted to make some weapons, but it didn't seem to work out. Are you satisfied with your answer? ”

Ze Long'er shook his head, and he said slowly: "I never thought that what you made would be abolished, do you know the way, you are the most genius soul thinker I have ever seen." You were going to grow vegetables in the winter last year, and I was secretly laughing at you in my heart at the time, but ...... You succeeded, and from that day on, I decided that in the future, I would definitely treat your affairs as if they had been successful, and the only difference was whether you had done it or not. ”

Chen Xiansong is silent!

Zelong'er continued: "You made me a set of blood-colored armor some time ago, using the lowest evil exorcism stone, and then I have the strength to compete head-on with a dark believer, do you know what this means? It represents infinite possibilities. This matter has been quietly spread in the aristocratic circle, and now the nobles in the city are secretly buying exorcism stones, and the stones in Black Rock City have been collected by you, so they will send people to collect them outside...... They also want to make a suit of armor to come out, but they can't even melt the exorcism stones, because they don't have the green flames of yours! ”

Chen Xiansong already knew about this matter, and it was mentioned in the information sent by the association. Now the price of Exorcism Stones in Black Rock City has increased more than sixfold, and the trend is still spreading to the surrounding towns.

"So you're interested in my new weapon?" Chen Xiansong took a sip of milk tea and asked, "After getting this weapon, what do you want to do and what do you use it for?" Your city lord's mansion now wants money and money, and you want people, and you have almost sat on the top of the title, can you still rise? Do you want to be a king? ”

Ze Long'er jumped up in fright and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense? ”

"I'm not talking nonsense." Chen Xiansong drank milk tea slowly and said calmly: "Kate's kingdom is feudal, you are the heir of the big lord, and I am the little lord." And the royal family is the lord of the lord, your city lord's mansion is already 'under one person', above ten thousand, what do you want such a good weapon for? ”

"Self-preservation? No one thinks they are inferior! ”

"When people have enough ability, they will have enough ambition." Chen Xiansong laughed, his expression was a little strange: "I am very powerful with this weapon, but I am not interested in power, so I will not use it for anything, but your City Lord's Mansion is different...... There are too many interests involved, and now that Kate's kingdom is in civil strife, don't you want to do something? ”

"What exactly do you want to say?" Zelong'er suddenly became vigilant.

"There is a saying in the Kingdom of Aurora, the kings and ministers will be the prime ministers, and they would rather have a kind!" Chen Xiansong lowered his voice and said: "You should understand the meaning of this sentence, you go back and talk to the old city lord about this sentence, if he is interested, I can provide you with this weapon, even...... The recipe can also be given to you. (To be continued......)
