Chapter 9: The Edge of War (2)
Catherine and Yoland's people were waiting outside, and Gu Shiyu briefly explained the teacher's reply. The heroes from Erathia were shocked to hear that the king had sealed the seal at the cost www.biquge.info of his own life. There must be a reason for him to do this, although it has caused everyone to be unable to leave the lost land, but after all, it has barely maintained peace for decades.
Yoland's people aren't like the heroes of Erathia, who are still noisy. Yolande said: "Don't talk about it, I thought about it, in fact, it makes sense for the mentor to do this." Isn't the purpose of our fight to protect our homeland? The closed portal has maintained the peace of the world for 30 years, and although we have left our homeland, our family and friends have been able to live safely. Although we are all blinded, the portal will be reopened, and we can all return to our homes. ”
When they heard that they could go back, everyone stopped shouting. At this moment, the guild bell rang, and the heroes and apprentices walked towards the guild hall.
The mentors and coaches were already waiting in the auditorium, and Greatsword led the heroes into the auditorium. The mentor nodded at the greatsword and motioned for him to let the men go.
"I'm really saddened that there is such an incident in the Heroes Guild today...... Everyone has lived and studied in the guild for such a long time, and they are familiar with every grass, tree, brick and tile here. This is our home, and everything here is the result of all of us working together. ”
"I know people are angry. But as a hero, you must always keep a clear head, not let anger blind you, let alone lose your mind. To vent your anger in the guild is to break some things and burn down some houses, but when you return to your homeland and become the commander of the army, your anger and your lack of consciousness will kill many people. ”
"Yes, the portal was sealed by me and the others. Not only the kings of the human race, but also the heroes of the Lost Lands are involved. But have you ever thought about it, why do we want to seal the portal?"
"For thousands of years, the whole world has been torn apart by war. Every inch of land under our feet is sprinkled with the common blood of your and my ancestors, and countless bones are buried. ”
"Everyone is a hero, a mighty warrior. What are we fighting for? Isn't it to save less blood for our fathers and brothers, and for our mothers and sisters to shed fewer tears? so that our children and grandchildren can live happily on this land? None of us longs for war, but we all want to live happily for generations to come. ”
"But there will always be some people in the world who, in pursuit of their personal power and interests, brazenly wage war, burn the flames of war to our homeland, vainly attempt to plunder our land and property, slaughter our relatives, and enslave our children and grandchildren!
"We sealed the portal only to avoid war and restore peace to the world, and we deceived everyone just to make peace last longer. For the sake of this peace, everyone lost the opportunity to reunite with their loved ones and sacrificed a lot. Maybe I did something wrong, and I am willing to pay any price for this mistake, even if it is my own life! But I will never regret that I can exchange my life for these thirty years of peace!"
"As soon as someone can pull out the king's sword in the guild, the portal to the rest of the world in the Lost Lands will open again. Only in this way, the haze of war will once again hang over the whole world. Heroes, cadets, my last request to you is that you must be prepared for war before the Lost Gate opens. Sharpen your swords and get ready for battle!"
The instructor slowly undressed himself, revealing his withered body. He said slowly: "If you still have anger in your hearts, then pour out your anger on me! I am willing to accept everyone's punishment, and I can even leave the Heroes Guild and embark on my journey of atonement." ”
Everyone began to talk about it, and the whole auditorium was like a pot of porridge boiling. A human hero who was over half a hundred years old walked up to the mentor and raised his hand to fight, but his hand trembled for a long time, and finally slowly put it down, spit in the mentor's face, and then left angrily.
Many people came forward and spat on the guru. The instructor closed his eyes and endured the humiliation of the crowd. The greatsword and the giant bow trembled, but how could they go against the will of their mentor?
Gu Shiyu was so distressed that he couldn't stand it. He whispered to Yoland, "Old You, let's go!"
Yolande nodded, and the two walked out of the auditorium side by side, followed by more than seventy heroes under Catherine and Yoland, and the entire auditorium was nearly a quarter less than a quarter of the people at once.
"Guzi, where are we going?" asked Yolander.
Gu Shiyu looked around, and finally found Cuthbert from the crowd, and shouted: "Old Ku, you want the owner of the rum distillery to send twenty cases of wine to the dock, and then ask the owner of the tavern to send some barbecue, and we will gather on the dock." ”
More than a dozen bonfires were lit on the docks. Although there was wine and meat, everyone was in a heavy mood and could not be happy.
Gu Shiyu stood in the middle of the crowd and said to everyone: "Actually, the mentor is also well-intentioned in doing this. Now that the matter has already happened, what is the use of blaming him? I want everyone to get together just to discuss what will happen in the future. Sauron has already taken action, and could declare war on the Hero Guild at any time. ”
Dozens of people walked on the dock, and everyone saw that they were Roland's men. The leader of the man, Gu Shiyu, was acquainted, his name was Inheim, and he was Roland's deputy, a powerful druid priest. Inheim stepped forward and bowed to Gu Shiyu and said, "Can we come to your meeting?"
Gu Shiyu was very happy and said, "Come on, we can't ask for it!" He shouted loudly: "Everyone welcome the heroes from the Standwick Kingdom!"
Everyone applauded. In the grove outside the Heroes Guild, they had known each other for a long time, and at first they were ready to fight, but they ended up feeling sorry for each other, and finally they made dozens of people fall asleep in the grove in the way of drinking.
Gu Shiyu waited for everyone to sit down, raised a palm and a fist, and said, "Let's see, which of these two hands is more powerful?"
When Gu Shiyu had not yet stumbled and fallen into the lost land, he used to be the coach of the outdoor development training camp, and how to motivate everyone's teamwork spirit was familiar to him and was at ease.
Everyone shouted, "Of course it's a fist!"
Yolande shouted: "It hurts to slap someone!"
Everyone knows that Youlande has an unusual relationship with Gu Shiyu, and likes to mistreat Gu Shiyu, so they can't help laughing.
Gu Shiyu couldn't help laughing, he nodded and said: "A slap can knock out other people's teeth at most, but a fist can break other people's bones!
Yolande shouted, "No, if Zoro dares to come, everyone will rush up and beat him down!"
The crowd applauded.
Inheim stood up and said, "Prince Roland went out to cultivate, and he hasn't come back yet. But the Kingdom of Standwick and the Kingdom of Erathia have been staunch allies for thousands of years, and we are willing to continue to fight side by side with all of you!"
There was a shout on the pier. Everyone stepped forward to toast the heroes from the kingdom of Standwick.
Gu Shiyu is very satisfied with this effect. The people of the Hero Guild did not count the coaches and students, and there were only more than 200 heroes in total, and nearly half of them came here. The question now is how to bring these people together.
More than a hundred heroes gathered together, but even Sauron did not dare to act rashly.
Gu Shiyu suddenly had an idea in his heart, and asked Cuthbert: "Old Ku, how much money does our company have?"
Cuthbert was very familiar with finance, and he put his mouth to Gu Shiyu's ear and whispered, "Nearly 300,000 gold coins." ”
Gu Shiyu was taken aback! Originally, it was estimated that the company could make a profit of 100,000 gold coins a month, but who knew that in just one month, the company had accumulated nearly 300,000 gold coins! He was overjoyed, hugged Cuthbert's shoulder and shook it, and said: "Old Ku, you really have you! Where did you get so much money? You can't bring someone to rob it, right?"
"The company's soap and shampoo business has now been opened, and the products are not only sold to the whole Lost Land, but some overseas fleets are also coming to order, but unfortunately the company's production is insufficient, and I am preparing to expand the scale of production. ”
Gu Shiyu nodded hurriedly and said, "Lao Ku, you can get it, I fully believe in you!"
Cuthbert lifted his glasses and said, "Boss, there's one more thing I haven't told you, you know that you are not allowed to curse." ”
"Say it, I will never scold you!" Gu Shiyu loves him and is not in a hurry, and he can't wait to gnaw a few bites on his face.
"The recipe you gave me for the plague of poisonous flies, I produced a cure, which I sold for three gold coins per dose, and required it to be combined with soap to be effective. ”
Oh my God, your sister is so dark! I want you to give it to the people of Baulston for free!
Cuthbert explained: "Boss, I think so: we're businessmen, and since we've invested, there's got to be a return. As long as there is water, poisonous flies can multiply, and this plague is a long-lasting war. Although you have money now, how long can you afford it on your own? Let me calculate for you, with the company's current financial resources, it can last for half a year at most. What will happen in half a year? Isn't the company going to go out of business? In this way, it will make the people in the lost land even more untreated. So I sold it at the price of three gold coins per dose without your consent. This price is actually very reasonable, even if I sell it at the price of thirty gold coins per dose, I believe that the people will buy it. ”
Indeed it is. The money that ordinary people have worked hard to earn all their lives is usually reluctant to use it indiscriminately, and when it comes to a catastrophe, they throw it to the doctor, and there is no room for bargaining.
Gu Shiyu finally couldn't help but hug Cuthbert tightly and gnawed a few bites on his face. Lao Ku was flattered, but he still wiped the saliva left on his face by Gu Shiyu with his sleeve.
"Okay, since you're so good at making money, then I'm going to lose!" Gu Shiyu got carried away. This kid wasn't even a moonlight clan before, but now that he has so much money in his hand, can he still sleep?
As soon as this kid was happy, he immediately rushed into the crowd and said loudly: "I announce that the Princess Commodity Company has invested 200,000 gold coins in advance to build an impregnable castle in the Lost Land!"
Cuthbert had a sweet throat in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out wildly, and he immediately fainted to the ground.
Gu Shiyu was fluttered by the praise of the heroes, how did he know that Cuthbert behind him was so distressed that he wanted to die?
Madsword stood up and said, "If you want to build a castle, the deserted path is the most suitable place!
Naturally, the heroes under the Crazy Knife chimed in.
"The deserted trail can be used as a refuge camp." But to be the political and military center of the Lost Land, I am afraid it is not suitable. ”
Seeing the dwarves and human heroes fighting each other, Gu Shiyu's head immediately became several times larger.
Cuthbert finally came back to life. He wiped the blood from his mouth and said, "Boss, you ...... You can't build a castle without millions of dollars. ”
