Chapter 243: The Treasury Appears
Johnson was not stupid, he guessed Downton's intention to kill people, but he still looked at the new owner and wanted to confirm it.
"What are you doing?" Downton asked rhetorically, "remember to keep our guests from being too miserable." ”
"Yes, master!"
Johnson grabbed Campana's head and twisted it down.
"Downton, I was wrong, I shouldn't have targeted you......"
Campana didn't blink his eyes, he knew that there would be such a day, he shouldn't have bothered Downton in the first place, but unfortunately there was no regret medicine in the world for him to take it.
Blood spurted and spilled Johnson's body.
"Do you have to make it so bloody?"
Downton took the flask handed by Homer, took a few sips to replenish his strength, and then let the troops go, because there were more slaves, and the speed of the journey was slow.
"Are you allowed to go home?" Celes worried, "Are you going to be arrested as a deserter?"
"No!" Downton comforted, the cunning Rocker was arrested, and it is estimated that Rukia is also unlucky, not to mention that he will not trouble himself, even if he does, he can use the excuse that he has run away to shirk responsibility.
"It's a question of whether he can go back to Morningmisty. Homer disdainfully, "Besides, Downton has the head of the bear goblin, Davis the boar, Romario the lone wolf, and Dwayne Johnson's head, and the bounty of the four of them combined is more than Tyson's, and in the situation of the rout of the whole army, Downton is the only shining point, and the chief has no reason to trouble him. ”
Fearing that the ogre would cause trouble, Downton only gave them one meal a day, and they could only eat half full, while forcing them to rush non-stop and squeeze their physical strength.
There are ogres who can't stand this kind of treatment and want to escape, even killing Downton. However, Zuihou was screwed off by Quasimodo, stabbed through his body with a wooden stake, and erected on both sides of the street.
This is the simplest and most direct deterrent, so that the bandits on the border understand that there are some people they cannot afford to provoke in their lifetime.
After leaving the Dagger mine for more than a week, Downton returned.
The attitude of the miners was as respectful as ever. Especially after seeing the more than twenty ogre captives tied behind him, he admired it even more.
"The chief engineer has returned triumphantly again!"
The foremen got together and insisted on pulling Downton to drink, celebrate his safe return, and get closer by the way, but he refused all.
Elaine will be officially on holiday next weekend, and Downton can't wait to see her, but it is also a sign of respect to report to Dauphink first.
"I've heard that the bandit coalition has been wiped out. What the hell is going on?" Dophink received Downton in his study, his brow pinched, his face tired.
"News is coming so fast, but I don't know. Downton was stunned, and then briefly recounted what had happened, of course, such a thing as the magic lake beads obtained from the fish-man tribe would not be opened.
"Several horsemen fled, and they said that the robbers had united and were ready to make a big vote. I don't know if it's shirking responsibility, or if it's true. Dauphink was worried, too. If there is a fight, the mines, which are an important source of revenue, will inevitably be affected.
"It should be true, I arrested Johnson, you can go and interrogate it. ”
The maid took the plate and handed the tea, and Downton took it. Say xiexie.
As Downton's status continued to rise, the maids' attitude towards him became better and better.
"Well done, these four heads are enough to ensure that you sit in the position of mayor. Dofphonk finally had a smile on his face, "I wasn't wrong. ”
"Thank you for your cultivation and for giving me the opportunity. Downton got up, having been a postman for three years. He knows how to deal with the situation.
"Very good!" no one likes arrogant guys, and Dafphonk was very pleased with Downton's humble attitude, but it was a pity that he did not have a daughter, otherwise he would definitely be a good candidate to be a son-in-law.
"I want to take a few days off!"
Downton said what he had wanted to say for a long time.
"Well, yes, when you get back, I'm sure I'll call you Mayor Downton. Dophink teased, he had already investigated Downton, and knew that he had a genius sister who had a great talent in divine arts, and was already a full-time priest of the Flame Sect at a young age.
"It's an honor!" Downton held back his excitement.
"I heard that Elaine is currently studying at St. George's School of Magic in the royal capital, which is the most haode school in the country, so I greeted her on my behalf. ”
Dawphonk got up and saw Downton away in person.
"Hmm!"
As soon as Downton walked out of the villa gate, a figure sprang out from the side and hugged his waist.
"What are you doing?" Downton tugged at Nina's hand, her chest pressed against her back, and a soft touch came over her.
"You're so ruthless that you forgot me so soon?" Nina licked Downton's earlobe and giggled, teasing him.
The servants and some passing foremen pointed in this direction, and there was envy on their faces that could not be concealed, Nina was very famous in the mines, and many men were courteous to her, but it was a pity that they did not even look at her.
"I'm sorry, I still have something!"
Downton used brute force to tear Nina away, and if he hadn't gone to see Dophink and couldn't bring the servant, Nina wouldn't have even thought about getting close.
"Hey, you wait!"
Murmur had to chase again, and Quasimodo, who arrived in time, blocked her way.
Downton left without looking back.
"It's so domineering, I don't pretend to be sorry for the goddess Nina who took the initiative to send it to the door!"
"Come on, Nina is beautiful, but she is also a high-level courtesan, with the current status of the director, how can you look down on her?"
"That's right, the women who sleep after the director must be those celebrities and aristocratic ladies in the upper class of the royal capital!"
The miners whispered, staring at Downton's back, infinitely emotional, knowing that a few months ago he was a worthless civilian, but now he has a lot of power and a full pocket.
"Master, you're finally back!"
Abagon, who was taking care of his business, heard the news of Downton's return and immediately ran back, sweating profusely, but not at all.
Seeing Downton, the new goblin steward fell to his knees and kissed his master's boots. Of course, it didn't forget about little Lori.
"Little princess, you are still so beautiful and cute!"
"How much money have you made lately?" Hu Tao sat in a chair, her eyes full of $ symbols, and in her opinion, the slave's money was the master's money. So take care of your purse in a timely manner.
"The last two weeks have earned eight hundred gold coins. Abagon took out a notebook full of dense handwriting, and quickly reported, "Although it is small, I have mastered fifty percent of the logistics supply share, and I can get this amount every month!"
"Weishenme is only fifty percent, won't it be more if you take it all?" Hu Tao was puzzled, "Someone is not convinced, go, I'll go and blow him up!"
"Wait, master!" Abagun hastened to explain, "and the other share goes to the nephew of the Lord Master." If we swallow it all, we're in trouble. ”
"Well done. Downton didn't care about the small money, he took out a million golden tickets and handed them to Abagon, "This is the money for the town mayor as a favor, if Dawphonk wants it, you give it to him." ”
The money was all taken from the dead ghost Doshav, and Downton didn't feel distressed at all when he spent it, if it weren't for the fact that there were not many golden tickets. He still wanted to keep more, and Abagun signed the death contract anyway. Flee to the ends of the earth, and you can find him yourself.
"Master, you're leaving the mines?" Abagon was clever enough to guess his itinerary from Downton's words, "Take me with you?"
"Reason!" Downton gave respect to Abagon's business talents.
"The layout of the mine is too small. I want to go to the big city, to see the big world, to make more money for you and the little princess!"
Humble as Abagon, bowed his head again and kissed Downton's boots.
"You know what? The entire human Shijie has never seen a goblin on the streets. They will always live only on the borders, in the wasteland, in the wilderness, and if you enter human society, you will be killed!" Downton was not scaring Abagon, a frontier commoner like him would be ridiculed as a dirt bun when he went to the royal capital, let alone a filthy and despicable goblin.
"I know, so I'm going more. Abagon straightened his back, "I believe that the master can protect me, because your legion is invincible in the Western Earth Continent!"
"Stop being a sycophant, tell the truth!" Downton didn't believe these excuses.
Abagun was silent, but after five minutes, he still decided to speak, "I want to change the understanding of human beings about goblins, and our Abagon family should take on the important task of revitalizing the goblin country!"
"Wow, I suddenly think you're great!"
Hu Tao blinked, he didn't expect that the goblin slave who had been beaten like maggots before still had such an ideal.
"I'll see!"
Downton wanted to see how far Abagon could go.
"Xiexie Master!"
Abagun once again reverted to a humble attitude and suggested, "Master, you should buy a few maids to take care of your daily life, even if you don't need it, Princess Walnut and Miss Celes still need it, only in this way, can you be worthy of your status!"
"We'll talk about that later. ”
After settling the day-to-day business, Downton teleports back to the dungeon with the two girls.
"Jackson, where are you?"
As soon as Hu Tao jumped out of the teleportation array of the Duke's mansion, he shouted, as if he were returning to his own home.
"Master, what a discovery, I've found the vault!" Not long after, Jackson, who had recovered from his injuries, hurried over, and brought an exciting piece of good news.
"Oh, have you been in?" said Hu Tao, "Take us there!"
"No, there was a monster guarding it, it was very difficult to entangle, and I was almost killed. Jackson complained, showing how faithful he was.
"How's the Demon Hunting Ground?'s going on over there?" Downton didn't get excited, but asked a series of questions, "Is there anything big going on in the dungeon?"
"Sixteen demons have come through the dimensional rift, and as Lord Homer expected, all of them have been trapped in the labyrinth magic array, and the magic energy well is very dull. Jackson reported one by one, "The skeleton mage has been to the Duke's Mansion once, but he has never dared to step inside, and it is clear that the owner of this place makes it very awe-inspired.
