Chapter 285: Territory Confirmation

"Go count it, maybe more than you offered, and it should be given away for free. ”

These were the first things Langdon said when he saw Callista again, and at the same time, he tossed the leader's weapon, the blue-quality one-handed axe, to Callista.

"Great, I really looked away. Callista raised one arm and gave Langdon a thumbs up, while taking the one-handed axe with the other, and asked curiously, "Is this ......?"

"Just ask Mr. Pader, I don't think he's a stranger. Langdon laughed.

Callista turned around and looked at Pad who was finishing up with the rest of his men not far behind, and as soon as he got the one-handed axe in his hand, Pad's eyes suddenly contracted, and he rushed to Callista in two steps, stared at the one-handed axe for a few moments, and then said: "This is exactly the weapon used by the leader of those looters, he was the one who called my name that day, and also knew what we were transporting." ”

Callista turned to Langdon again, Langdon shrugged, raised his hand and pointed in one direction, and said, "I didn't even notice him in that pile, and I wouldn't have thought he was here if I hadn't accidentally seen this weapon." ”

The direction he pointed to was really the place where the fire storm broke out, the fire storm had already stopped, and that place had become a Shura field at this time, dozens of charred corpses were piled up in the front yard like that, the important thing was that they were all swept into the air dozens of meters high and then fell down violently, those bodies that were burned dry with all the water in their bodies could not withstand such a huge force at all, they were all broken apart, and there was not even a relatively complete corpse.

In such a situation, not to mention that those people from the Hundred Cities Federation didn't want to investigate anything, even if they did, they couldn't find anything in the face of the corpses that were burned like that, and naturally there was no way to confirm whether Langdon's words were true or false.

Interestingly, they can't blame Langdon for anything, because Callista himself said that Langdon would kill all the looters.

So, while what Langdon was telling was a lie, it was a near-perfect lie, unless the leader was discovered, but that was unlikely, for now that the king had left with the man, they should be outside the city by now, if nothing else.

"So, can we start talking about what's next? Langdon asked, "Oh, by the way, if you don't mind, can you give me the axe as a memento?" ”

Callista was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily and said, "Of course it's no problem, Mr. Langdon, we are merchants, and businessmen are the most credible, aren't they......?

"Mr. Callista is mistaken, he is not my subordinate, but a companion. Langdon emphasized, and then said, "Since the contract has been completed, it means that the territory is not far away, of course I have to make some preparations, right? ”

"Well, Mr. Langdon is confident, please!" said Callista, smiling faintly.

As he spoke, this Roshan fat man, who had a considerable status in both the Gold and Wealth Organization and the Hundred Cities Federation, raised his hand and led him, and then he turned around first, lined up the people of the Hundred Cities Federation who were under martial law on the periphery, and walked out.

Although the fire storm has long since stopped, the temperature here is still extremely high because of the long time it has been scorched by the flames, but at this moment, there is not a drop of sweat on Callista's body.

............

"Mr. Langdon, your wish is to get a piece of territory, right? So do you have a place you like? Say it, and I'll give you a staff officer. This time, Calista didn't say another word of nonsense and got straight to the point.

"There are really two places that I think are more suitable for me in the territory of the Hundred Cities Federation that I have traveled. "Callista plays straight, and Langdon doesn't talk nonsense.

He took two of the stacks of maps on the table, pointed to the two places on them, and said, "These two places." ”

"Huh?" Callista said, looking at the map, a flash of light in his fat glasses, "Neither of these places is a good place." ”

He also stretched out his thick fingers, which looked like a big radish, and pointed to a map and said, " This forest called the Forest of Half a Lake is the second largest forest in our Hundred Cities Federation, between several countries including the Duchy of Bucks, but none of the countries really claim to occupy it, all because this forest is very dangerous, not to mention the existence of powerful magical beasts in it, and it is also said that there is a passage to the underground world and a spatial rift connected to the abyss and hell, don't look at the fact that it attracts so many explorers, but they actually don't dare to go deep, and those who dare to go deep into the Forest of Half a Lake are almost never able to come out alive. ”

Then he pointed to another map and said, " As for here, located in the Corolla Mountains, although there are no such legends, but its danger is even worse than the Forest of the Half Lake, there is only one legend about the Corolla Mountains, there is a remnant of a powerful civilization several generations ago, hehe, it is not accurate to say that the ruins, because there is still the life of that civilization there, they regard the Corolla Mountains as their forbidden place, never leave the Corolla Mountains, but they never allow anyone to enter them, this legend has attracted many explorers, including our team, however, no one can come out of the mountains alive。 ”

"Oh?" After introducing this, Callista unexpectedly looked at Langdon's eyes lit up, and looked at the map as if there was a treasure there, and smelled: "The legendary civilized race? ”

Then, Langdon looked up and asked, "Is this a borderland?"

Callista looked at Langdon a little stunned, to be honest, his words didn't mean to pit Langdon at all, Langdon has proven his strength, for Callista or the entire Hundred Cities Federation, if they can get such a powerful ally is also quite a good thing, after all, they are a trade federation, the more powerful allies they have, the smoother the trade can be guaranteed, which means more wealth, so, as long as Langdon does not have ulterior motives, of course they will not stumble Langdon for no reason, and even help Langdon to a certain extent。

Just like just now, to be honest, Callista was ready for Langdon to ask for a huge and well-located territory, but he never thought that what Langdon wanted was such a broken place that no one wanted?

It was at this time that Langdon uttered his last words, "Well, this is it, right next to the Corolla Mountains!"
