He slowly walked to Adelaide, who was lying on the ground immobilized, blood already spreading to the steps.

Adelaide felt extremely weak, and because of the bleeding, he felt that he had been in a state of half-consciousness, half-sleep.

Then he faintly heard the cheers in the hall, faintly heard Darnell's pleas for mercy, screams, and he heard the uproar in the hall.

He wanted to call, but he couldn't make a sound, he wanted to struggle but couldn't support his body, he tried to open his eyes, and saw Nalan Xingtian sitting on his own throne, issuing one order after another.

In the end, he saw Nalan Xingtian walking towards him, then squatted in front of him, and said in a low voice: "I have already thought about how to deal with you, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, as a loser, you lost your right hand, and your sternum was shattered, you must have realized something, I will say to the outside world that you died in a duel, at least you are still a warrior." ”

Adelaide opened his lips, but couldn't utter a complete sentence, and the next thing that filled his eyes was a long knife with a blade flowing like water, the shiny blade of which continued to enlarge in front of his eyes.

A sharp pain, then a light pleasure, Adelaide felt more relaxed than ever, then he closed his eyes, and the whole world returned to eternal silence.

Nalan Xingtian solved Adelaide, stood up, shook it lightly, shook off the blood on it, and put the knife into the sheath.

The first time he saw blood in this world was to stab Dark, the first time he killed was the pursuer he killed when he fled from the gold mine, and this was the third time he killed someone, and he took his life when the other party lost his combat effectiveness.

Killing again and again, I slowly became accustomed to my behavior pattern and became more and more calm.

......

Things went even more smoothly than Nalan Xingtian had imagined, and after most of the core members of the inner hall recognized his position as leader, the rest of the attendants and peripheral personnel had no objection.

Under the deterrence of power and the appeasement of money, he successfully took over the position of the leader of the Divine Punishment Mercenary Group, and also took over the assets owned by the original Adelaide, without a trace of extra waves.

The assets of the entire mercenary group are even more barren than imagined, and the assets under the name of the mercenary group and the dead man's property in Adelaide add up to less than 200 gold coins, which will not be left much in the future to pay the salaries of the people below and the winter reward.

As for the 500 gold coins of the dead man's property that Darnell said, Nalan Xingtian didn't find it, and he didn't know if Darnell was hiding in a secret place, or if he just said it casually to save his life at that time.

There is also an offering and tax for the Oak Town Enforcement Team at a cost of 100 gold per month.

When he learned that the offering and tax rate demanded by the law enforcement team was 100 gold coins per month, he frowned and said, "Why do you have to hand in so many gold coins every month?"

Vic explained: "They say it's Oaktown's law enforcement team, but they're actually putting gold on their faces, and in a border place like Oaktown, Cincinnati's national laws can't cover it at all, and there is no corresponding army stationed here.

"The previous lord was appointed sixteen years ago, he had no power and no power after he came here, and there were only a few cronies who followed, only a mandate from the central government, and finally he was deprived of his rights by the many witchers here, and that mandate was also torn apart in public, and he had no way and strength to restrain these lawbreakers, here, people without strong strength are not respected. ”

"Then that lord is really an unlucky tragic figure, so where is he now?" Nalan Xingtian sighed and asked casually.

"The former lord is standing in front of you right now. Vic said.

Nalan Xingtian: "......"

Vic didn't look embarrassed at all, he continued: "Okay, let's not talk about that, and then the topic just now, the law enforcement team in Oak Town is actually the largest witcher guild here, the Blazing Witcher Guild, and their members are more than five hundred, and the leader is a powerful elemental. ”

"In other words, this offering and taxes are actually equivalent to protection fees in disguise?" said Nalan Xingtian.

"It can be said that they are an organization that has been established for a long time, and although they charge a fee, they are also very well-behaved people, unlike Adelaide in the past, where they at least give it a relatively peaceful state. Vic said.

"Meloti, what do you think. Nalan Xingtian asked Melotti on the side.

"According to Mr. Vic, the Blazing Witcher Guild is a large guild with more than five hundred people, and the leader should be an elemental envoy who is not lower than level four or even above five, that is an existence that we cannot afford to provoke, a hundred gold coins is only a small amount, and the other party heard from Mr. Vic that he is also the maintainer of order in Oak Town, and has a good reputation. Meloti spoke her mind.

"In Oak Town, except for the Blazing Demon Hunter Guild power, the auction that belongs to Dylan is the most powerful, and the rest are some organizations like our Divine Punishment Mercenary Group, the power may be different, but they are not big. Vic introduced Nalan Xingtian.

"The forces of the Blazing Demon Hunter Guild are the maintainers of order and their own interests, ensuring the order of Oak Town, they can obtain more benefits, as long as there are stable offerings and taxes, they will not care if a small mercenary group changes its name or changes its leader, then we will also act according to the rules." Nalan Xingtian said in a low voice.

"Alright, chief, I'll take care of that. Vic said, bowing down.

After dealing with some miscellaneous things with Vic, when Nalan Xingtian returned to Vic's house with Meloti, Vic, and Yang Shen, Janet was pushing Yang Shirley in the yard.

When Janet saw Vic, she rushed over and threw herself into Vic's arms, choking up and silent for a long time.

Yang Shen came to Yang Xueli's side, and while carefully comforting her, she clumsily stretched out her hand to gently wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

On the second day, Yang Shenwei returned to the mercenary group to deal with the corresponding tasks, and Janet and Yang Xueli, who learned of this dramatic change in the situation, also changed their previous sad appearances, and in their hearts, because of the arrival of Nalan Xingtian, there was too much hope.

Nalan Xingtian and Meloti followed the winding path to the Oak Town office of the Dylan Auction in the west of the city.

At the iron fence at the door, Chinneran Xingtian met his old acquaintance Patton, and soon met Dylan under Patton's leadership.

When Nalan Xingtian saw Dylan, Dylan seemed to be in a good mood, and when he saw Nalan Xingtian and Meloti, he greeted him warmly and sat down.

After Barton served the black tea, Dylan smiled and said, "Little brother Nalan Xingtian, should I congratulate you now and call you the leader of the Divine Punishment Mercenary Group." ”
