Episode 37 Lynda's Request
The cultivators and leaders invited by the pirates were killed one after another, and the army was immediately in turmoil, and they all threw away their armor and ran for their lives, fleeing in panic and fleeing out of the city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Under the leadership of Shen Hao and Shen Wen, the militia of Xiaoyu County pursued all the way to the beach, and even the residents who had been hiding in the city followed the militia out of the city. After a desperate battle, most of the pirates who invaded Xiaoyu County suffered casualties, barely managed to escape by three boats, and the rest were all killed on the beach by the crazy revenge militia.
The crisis of destroying the city in Xiaoyu County has finally been resolved!
The biggest reason for the victory in this battle is that in addition to the desperate resistance of the militia of Xiaoyu County, and the guardian monk of Xiaoyu County, Shen Hao, withstood the attack of the monks of Chaojiao Island invited by the pirates, and more importantly, Linda killed the pirate monks and pirate leaders in a sneak attack at a critical moment, and also killed hundreds of pirates with a knife magic weapon, which played a role in turning the tide and became the biggest hero to protect Xiaoyu County.
After some rest, on the third day after defeating the pirate invasion, a banquet was being held in the hall of the county government of Xiaoyu County, including the county magistrate Shen Wen, the guardian monk Shen Wen, and various heads and faces in the county, and the person who sat in the first seat was actually Linda.
After three rounds of drinking, the county magistrate Shen Wen glanced at Lin Da with a smile, and said with a pleasant face: "A few days ago, Xiaoyu County suffered a pirate invasion that had not been seen in decades, but fortunately, Shen Xianshi and the militia guards resisted desperately, and finally defeated the enemy. Of course, more importantly, we also unexpectedly got the help of Brother Lin, who had just entered the county. If he hadn't made a timely move, I'm afraid we would really not have been able to avoid this catastrophe! The old man, as the magistrate of Xiaoyu County and the patriarch of the Shen family, would like to thank Brother Lin for everything he has done for our Xiaoyu County!" After speaking, Shen Wen stood up and respectfully toasted Lin Da.
The old man's words were really from the bottom of his heart. Originally, before the war, he was still suspicious of Linda, but now, he finally believed in Linda's personality from the bottom of his heart.
After listening to the old man's words, everyone present nodded yes one after another, and the eyes that looked at Lin Da were full of awe, and even Shen Hao nodded and smiled. Although many of you did not witness the battle with the pirates that day, many of the militia who participated in the battle and some of the people who supported the battle saw with their own eyes how Linda killed the pirates and turned the tide of the war. In the minds of the people of Xiaoyu County, Linda has become a big hero who saved Xiaoxian County, and even became on a par with Shen Hao.
Seeing the old man's solemn words, Lin Da's face turned red, and he was flattered and said: "The county magistrate should not be so polite! At that time, Xiaoyu County suffered such a catastrophe, and everyone in the city had the responsibility to resist desperately, and I just did what I had to do." ”
Monk Shen Hao smiled at Lin Da's modesty and said, "Hehe, Brother Lin doesn't have to be so modest, you really helped us a lot this time! But I really didn't expect that you would be able to operate magic weapons without any spiritual power on your body." Even that cultivator at the peak of his qi realm was actually killed by you, tsk, how did you do it! Brother Lin is so capable, I'm afraid even I am not as good as me!"
The magic weapon that Shen Hao was talking about was Lin Da's knife magic weapon that killed hundreds of pirates. After killing the pirate monk, Linda later retrieved the man's corpse. However, because this magic weapon consumes a lot of mana, not only has the original five-colored spirit stone that provided spiritual power been consumed, but even the spirit stone given to him by the county magistrate Shen Wen a few days ago has also exhausted its spiritual power. Linda had no choice but to put away this magic weapon carefully, and now he only had the Desert Eagle left.
Hearing Shen Hao evaluate himself like this, Lin Da hurriedly said, "Immortal Master Shen has an overreputation! I'm just a mortal, how can I compare with your cultivator." The reason why I was able to operate that magic weapon was because I used some shortcuts, and I was able to kill that person, and I was even more lucky. But I have to thank Immortal Master Shen for that help, if you hadn't acted in time, I'm afraid I would have died in the hands of that person!"
In the face of the praise of the cultivator, Lin Da naturally did not dare to hold it up, although he could be regarded as saving the life of this cultivator, but he was also well aware of the gap between the cultivators and mortals in this world, and did not dare to do anything beyond the rules.
Shen Hao waved his hand, as if he saw through the worry in Lin Da's heart, and said happily: "Brother Lin, no matter what, you saved me and Xiaoyu County this time, and we owe you a great favor, and you will be a distinguished guest of our Xiaoyu County in the future." We will treat you as a guest of honor at any time!"
Shen Wen on the side listened to this, and also nodded and said: "Well, Shen Xian's nephew is right, although our Xiaoyu County is not a prosperous place, it can be regarded as smooth weather and abundant products, and it can still meet daily needs." If Brother Lin doesn't dislike it, just stay here as the county magistrate. Or if you have any other plans, you can also put them forward to us, and Xiaoyu County will definitely do its best to meet them!"
When Linda heard this, her heart suddenly became happy. Didn't he come all the way here just to find a place suitable for human settlement? Now that he finally has this opportunity, if Xiaoyu County really agrees to let him and the people of the autonomous group move here, then his mission will be successfully accomplished!
Thinking of this, Lin Da's heart jumped wildly, and after thinking for a while, he asked hesitantly: "Is what the county magistrate said seriously?
Shen Wen nodded and said with a smile: "Of course you can, as long as we can do it in Xiaoyu County, we will definitely satisfy you!"
Lin Da listened, and after thinking about it again, he said to everyone with a sincere face: "Everyone, Lin Mou came to the Terran Continent this time, in fact, he has another purpose, and the request he made is exactly this. ”
Next, Lynda explained how he traveled the oceans, and the purpose and mission of his travels. However, according to the reasons he had previously told Shen Wen and others, he said that he and the people of the autonomous group were islanders living in seclusion on the ocean, and because of the harsh environment and other reasons, he had to go out to find a suitable place to settle. In the end, Linda put forward his request, hoping that everyone present could agree to the autonomous group to move into Xiaoyu County to settle down.
After listening to Linda's words, the faces of many people present changed several times, and they were suddenly silent. The monk Shen Hao didn't say a word, while the county magistrate Shen Wen seemed a little hesitant. Seeing this, Linda immediately became a little worried, but he didn't know why everyone was so hesitant.
After being silent for a while, the atmosphere was extremely depressing, and the county magistrate Shen Wen shook his head, and finally said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that Brother Lin's request turned out to be this!"
"Why, isn't that a bit excessive?" asked Linda, puzzled.
The county magistrate said embarrassedly: "Hehe, that's not it. It stands to reason that our Xiaoyu County owes you such a great favor to Brother Lin, and your request is not too much, we should do it for you. But Brother Lin didn't know that our Gui country had conflicts with neighboring countries, especially the southern country of Jiapu, which had fought a war with our country more than 20 years ago. After that battle, the Gui royal family issued an extremely strict sea sealing order, ordering all parts of Gui not to accept anyone who came to Gui from the open sea. You know, although the Gui royal family usually doesn't care about us, if we anger them in this kind of thing, I'm afraid we can't afford it. If it's just more than ten nobles who want to sneak into the city, you can dredge one or two below, but now you actually propose to move in hundreds of people, I'm afraid the old man won't be able to do it..."
"How can this be?" Hearing the old man's explanation, Linda asked with a look of disappointment and frustration on his face.
The old man sighed and said, "No way, this is the law promulgated by the royal family back then, and the old man doesn't dare to disobey it easily?"
"So, I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill my request?" asked Linda a little helplessly, the disappointment on her face palpable.
The old man was silent for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Hehe, this request... The old man is naturally powerless. However, if Brother Lin can make other requests, as long as it is not against the requirements of the royal law, we will definitely try our best to meet them!"
Linda shook his head gently, in his opinion, if Xiaoyu County really can't meet the immigration requirements of the autonomous group, then he has to find another place. But in this way, I don't know how much time and energy it will take, let alone the various dangers that I may encounter when traveling on the mainland.
At this time, Shen Hao on the first seat suddenly asked Lin Da, "Brother Lin, how many of your clansmen want to migrate over?"
"About 150 people, we don't have a lot of people. Linda replied truthfully.
Shen Hao was slightly taken aback by the number of Linda clansmen, he quickly nodded and said, "Well, one hundred and fifty people is not a lot, if this is the case, if you want to move to Xiaoyu County, it is not impossible." ”
Hearing Shen Hao's words, Lin Da was shocked, immediately jumped up, and asked in surprise, "Really!?
Shen Hao smiled and said, "Of course, but in this case, I am afraid that your clan will have to pay a lot of money!"
"What is the cost? If we can afford it, we will do our best to fight for it. Linda said eagerly.
Shen Hao nodded, and said secretly with a smile: "Hehe, that's the case, although our royal family ostensibly prohibits the migration of overseas people, there are still many overseas people who enter other countries through various channels every year, and they all pay a large amount of fees to obtain the qualification to enter other countries. ”
"Oh, can it be like this? I wonder how much it will cost?" asked Linda, thinking that it seems that this place is similar to the earth, and you can only do things with money.
"About a hundred gold per person. Shen Wen, the county magistrate on the side, seemed to remember something, and suddenly interjected.
"One hundred gold!" Lin Da was dumbfounded when he heard this number, when he was wandering around the county before, he had seen the appearance of gold coins here, and it was also similar to the appearance of the earth, but there were more than a hundred people in the autonomous group, and these people needed more than 10,000 gold to move, and they came to this world with almost nothing, and no gold mines were found on Blue Star Island, where did he find so much money!
"Is there any other way to do this? I can't do that much. But can you tell me if there is any way to make this money quickly?" asked Linda helplessly, he really couldn't get a penny, if he really wanted to achieve his goal, he could only work hard to make money.
Shen Hao thought about it first, then looked at Lin Da, and then said slowly: "There is a way, but it is quite difficult for mortals. However, maybe you have the energy to accomplish it..."Hearing Shen Hao say this, the other people present also remembered something, and couldn't help but look at Lin Da strangely.
"What's the solution? Immortal Master Shen might as well say it. Lin Da asked, quite convening in his heart, for fear that Shen Hao would propose something that he couldn't accomplish.
"Demon hunting!" Shen Hao was silent for a moment, and then spit out these two words.
