Chapter 273: Expeditionary Team (1)
This is a silver coin minted in Atlas City, with the head of the god of the sea on the surface, a fluffy beard taking up most of the area, and a sacred beast favored by the god of the sea, a dolphin full of wisdom and spirituality. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lu Bin secretly hid the private money, and a copper coin, the workmanship is more exquisite, the surface is the trident of the sea god, and there is a string of inscriptions on the top, to the effect of "I am the king of the sea, the shaker of the earth". On the back is a specialty of Atlas City, with vats of grapes hanging from them.
Lu Bin did not figure out the value of the currency for the time being, and the exchange ratio between coins of different materials, but according to the traditional understanding, silver coins have more purchasing power than copper.
It didn't take long for the girl to go home with a net bag, which was full of fresh fish and shrimp, and Lu Bin immediately stepped forward to help.
Kerui experienced the ups and downs of life, the girl's flower crown was taken off by Lu Bin, and now she has the consciousness of taking care of housework and being a wife, so she refuses Lu Bin's kindness.
The power of tradition is extremely strong, and Lu Bin didn't want to turn a good thing into a bad thing, so he took the initiative to retreat, returned to his original position and sat down, leaving Corey busy in the corner of the outhouse.
There was no window ventilation, and the smoke from burning dry wood suddenly kept coming out, and Lu Bin hurriedly opened the door and let the sea breeze outside blow in, sending fresh air and driving away the tearful smoke.
The thick white fish soup boiled in the clay pot exudes a salty aroma, and the prawns cooked over the bonfire burst open with the tough shell on the outside, revealing the tender white shrimp meat.
"The price of fresh vegetables is very expensive, and I go to the market in the evening, and the vegetables that cannot be sold are cheap for nothing. ”
Lu Bin couldn't help but want to laugh, and then remembered the family background of the girl Kerui, and patted her lightly on the back of her hand: "I said, there will be bread and cheese." Don't worry about money, I'll figure it out when it comes to daily income. ”
The girl Corey's gaze shifted from Lu Bin's eyes to the bear's head: "Hunting in the wild is very risky, and the income is not stable enough, even if a warrior wins a hundred battles, it is inevitable that he will miss." Also, you are already the warrior of the goddess, my only support, I don't want to be separated from you, I don't want to lose you, and I am afraid that you will not be by my side. ”
"Time will prove my promise! As a warrior chosen by the goddess, I am not afraid of challenges, even if there is mortal danger involved, and victory will eventually fall to me. ”
The girl Corey was a little puzzled, but she was able to sense other people's moods and experience other people's feelings, so she sighed and nodded slightly.
"Anglo, my man, I wanted to persuade you to give up such dangerous thoughts, but the goddess said to me that men are like eagles flying in the sky, with a vast heart that can hold the earth. I can't pull your hind legs and become a superfluous burden, so I want to say that this small house is the last home of the eagle fighting in the sky, and the safe haven of sailors who roam the world. At any time, you can hug me here, and everything I have belongs to you. ”
Lu Bin immediately understood that this was not only the will of the girl Corey herself, but also the influence of the goddess behind her, so he nodded lightly and acquiesced.
A hearty lunch, the two of them were very full, Lu Bin took a break, remembered the landlord Cayeta, and hurriedly told the girl Corey about it. As soon as he was allowed to get it, he dressed up and carried some food, and when he went out, he summoned the armored wild pig and trotted all the way to the street where the old woman was.
For the sake of the chest-high wild boar, for the sake of the bear's head on the shoulders of the warriors, the pedestrians on the road took the initiative to avoid, and there were a few citizens who came to Midtown for recreation, who originally did not want to dodge, but hung the fangs of the armored wild pigs, and immediately made them put away their pride.
"Is that a descendant of the King of the Arena? Why did he become a mount after taming? That bearskin is the Minosa Bear, the overlord of the forest? The warrior who killed it must be a citizen of the upper city!"
The rumors at the gate of Atlas City have not yet reached everyone's ears, so these frightened citizens are still as proud as ever.
The Gentiles in the neighborhood were watching their jokes, and no one was willing to correct them for them, after all, Atlas City was a city-state that belonged to citizens, and it was interesting to watch them make a fool of themselves once in a while.
It didn't take long for these citizens who had deigned to come to Midtown for recreation to know the truth of the matter and to be ashamed of their disgrace in front of the Gentiles, but soon they took the initiative to reveal a secret.
"Anglo, the warrior who slew the King of the Arena, showed amazing courage and superb fighting skills, and even Gentiles who had just entered Atlas City were already eligible to live in the Upper City and be awarded the title of honorary citizen. ”
This news was like a drop of ice water, falling into the boiling hot oil, which immediately caused a sensational explosion of public opinion, and the influence spread like ripples, not only the Gentiles in Midtown, but also the slaves in Downtown.
Honorary Citizens, the Council of 500 in Jasmine City, the first of the cities, recently introduced a policy that allowed some freemen who had made outstanding contributions to the city to have the right to participate in political activities, and the glory of good government has not yet shone on the heads of slaves, but a group of wise sages, outstanding warriors and generals have emerged.
The elders of Atlas City, who held real power, saw the advantages and disadvantages, and after weighing it repeatedly, decided to temporarily implement it in the Midtown District, where Gentiles lived.
Recently, the only shining and conspicuous Gentile is "Anglo", who killed the monster boar in the arena and won a victory at the founding day celebration.
Even though the matter has been roughly finalized and some citizens have learned about it from different sources, it has never been officially written and rolled out to all citizens, so in the eyes of those who care, there is still room for operation.
For example, if you make the quota of an honorary citizen into two or even three, as long as you pry open a hole, they can tear a ravine.
There are no less than 50 sages who consider themselves virtuous and full of wisdom in Midtown. Generals who thought they possessed superb command skills and were able to lead their armies to victory also had many competitors among the Gentiles.
No one dared to compete for the honorary citizenship of Anglo, the beast fighter, after all, an invincible warrior who tamed a chest-high boar and killed the Minosa Giant Bear.
The Senate in Uptown, where the senators exchange information gathered by each other, and the street debates among the Gentiles, there is no lack of insight, but there is no opportunity to show it. There is also a tactical confrontation of generals, which is even more exciting than the lessons of the citizens of the upper city.
"A little wind was released, and a crusade against the monsters of the wilderness, and a brave expeditionary team was successfully formed. ”
"Mr. Anglo, the beast fighter, can act as an arrow in an attack formation. The sages who won the debates on the streets, with their foresight, could accompany the army as wise men who offered advice. A general with the highest tactical literacy will surely be able to lead the team to victory. ”
"What used to be one honorary citizen position has now become three. The influence of the Gentiles has entered the Senate of Atlas City, which is not a good sign!"
"It was precisely when we sensed the signs of danger that we made the decision to guide the expedition into formation. Behold, the ranks were made up entirely of Gentiles, all the best of Midtown, the best of all trades. ”
"That's right, if this expedition fails, the Gentiles will lose a large number of elites, and they will be hit on all sides, and there will be no three or five years, and they will not be able to breathe at all. If the expedition is successful, and we pass the test of the gods, without the bloodshed and sacrifice of citizens, it is not a good deal to pay only the position of three honorary citizens?"
"On the last expedition, we lost eleven good citizens, and even family members of the patriarchs here. If they were all alive, they would surely grow up to be more extraordinary. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a painful lesson, and we must no longer squander the blood of our citizens and watch the power of the Gentiles grow to the point where they threaten us. ”
The city lord remained silent, but his eyes flickered, obviously moved by the discussion of the elders, and because of the rules of the proceedings, he had to make a final statement.
None of the elders here are stupid people, on the contrary, they are all good at observing other people's words and faces, and they are experts in figuring out their true hearts.
"Seconded!" "Seconded!" "Seconded!"
......
A series of echoes, the elders were afraid that their voices would be left behind, the city lord Atlantis laughed in his heart, picked up the magic hammer and knocked it gently, even if this matter was officially passed, it would be specially copied later and announced to the middle city.
At the same time as the magic hammer was struck, Lu Bin returned to the house of the girl Corey, and his heart suddenly sank, as if a big stone was pressed on it.
"Something is wrong! Fate must have something going on that involves me. ”
