Chapter 129: Hill City's Way of Survival
"It's not unreasonable that I've spent twenty years building an insignificant small city, and my small city can stand for so long in the dark mountains where various forces are intertwined!" Wang Xu shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and spread his hands as if he didn't care.
"Why?" Nilou stared into Wang Xu's eyes with a look of serious confusion on her face.
And the eyes of the two sisters, Zana and Succubus, who looked at Wang Xu, were also full of doubts.
"Do you know who lives in my hill city?" Wang Xu raised his chin towards the four Nilou girls, and two mysterious glints welled up in his eyes.
"Who is it?" the four Nilou girls asked Wang Xu in unison, and it was obvious that Wang Xu's words had aroused their interest.
Wang Xu didn't answer them, but raised his eyes and swept the corridor in front of him, and then said in a non-questionable voice: "We are almost at the end, and we will soon reach the main part of the mine!"
"Don't change the subject, don't you want to talk about it!" Zhana chuckled and squinted at Wang Xu, the meaning expressed in her eyes was obvious, that is: Don't come to this set, I didn't know you for the first day!
"Hmm, I said," looking at the surging gaze of the fourth girl who was about to swallow herself, Wang Xu hurriedly said: "You may not imagine that all the strongholds of the trade unions in the Western Continent are found in my Hill City, such as the Magic Union, the Warrior Union, the Mercenary Union, and so on. ”
"Some cities have it, and some towns have it. Zana asked Wang Xu in a puzzled whisper.
"I don't have all of them, I have a base of every kind of union there, so, gradually, my place has become an important base for information exchange and trading, so. Each faction sent at least one strong man to guard there. Wang Xu explained lightly: "In Hill City, there are at least six powerhouses whose strength is above the Holy Rank, and there is also a large group of mercenaries whose strength is close to the Holy Rank!"
"Aren't you afraid that they will rob your city?" Zana shook her head and asked Wang Xu in a coquettish voice.
"Don't be afraid, there are two reasons, first. The forces in my city are intricate and contain each other, and it is impossible for one family to dominate," after a pause, he glanced at Nilou, and Wang Xu continued: "Second, my identity is the elven prince after all, even if I am an exiled prince, but. My Hill City is very close to the territory of the elves, and no one wants to offend an elven prince in the elves' sphere of influence!"
"Did you think about all these things twenty years ago, did you set up this game for twenty years?" Zana asked Wang Xu in surprise.
"No, I didn't do these things deliberately, I was too lazy to take care of things, so I thought of a way to make the city run and develop automatically, so that I could spare time and energy from the complicated affairs of managing the city to do what I wanted!" Wang Xu replied casually.
"I don't believe it!" Zana pouted and glanced at Wang Xu.
"Uh. Listening to Zana's words, Wang Xu lowered his eyes and looked at Zana, who was only up to his shoulder. He shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Actually, if you do this kind of thing too deliberately, it will have the opposite effect, so it's better to take advantage of the situation." In this way, you can do more with less!"
"Listen to you, it's not the first time you've done this kind of thing, where did you learn these weird tricks?" Zana was very interested in Wang Xu's past, and the point she was most interested in was not Wang Xu's person. It's the knowledge in Wang Xu's mind, especially the knowledge about intrigues.
"On the book. Wang Xu replied to Zhana casually, and then shut up.
"Which book?" Zana asked the king unrelentingly.
"Forgot!" Wang Xu replied to her without sincerity.
"Hmph! no sincerity!" Zana also knew that she couldn't ask anything from Wang Xu's mouth, so after snorting coldly, she turned her head away from Wang Xu.
Suddenly, Nilou, who had been listening silently to Wang Xu's conversation with Zana, spoke, "Are you using the elves in your bureau?"
Nilou's intention in asking this sentence is to remind Wang Xu that the reason why you can establish Hill City in the Dark Mountain Range is because of your identity as an elven prince.
"Hey, it's not that simple, the elves and I are just using each other!" Wang Xu smiled wryly and turned his head to look at Nilou.
"How do you say that?" Wang Xu's words contained too many secrets, and these secrets attracted Zana's interest again, so she wanted to be angry with Wang Xu for a while, and spoke again, "Could it be that the elves are also using you, you are so smart, will let them use you?"
This topic also caught Nilou's attention, as she had always believed that elves were the kindest race and would not easily take advantage of others.
Therefore, after hearing the conversation between Wang Xu and Zhana, she turned her head to stare at Wang Xu and asked him seriously: "I also want to know, how do you and the elves use each other?"
"Do you know a female sage named Afra?" Wang Xu asked in a low voice as he looked ahead of the tunnel, and no one knew if he was asking Nilou or Zana.
"Is it the female Dharma Saint of the Elf Clan?" Zana turned her head to look at Wang Xu, and **** again, it was obvious that she didn't know the female Dharma Saint of the Elf Clan named Afra.
"I know her, she is a junior magician of the water system," after a light smile, Nilou sighed, "I didn't expect that after so many years, I haven't seen her, her strength has improved to the law saint level, it seems that she has not been lazy all these years." ”
"It's good to know her," Wang Xu bit his lip and continued in an unkind tone: "She built a mage tower in my city, and that mage tower is the tallest building in the whole city, what do you think she is doing in my city?"
"Is she spying on you!" Before Nilou could speak, Zana preemptively voiced her guess.
"That's right, she is one of the only ten Dharma Saints in the entire Elven Clan today, as such an important combat force, she would leave the Elemental City and settle in my city, then, one of her purposes must be to spy on me, and it must be that the Elf King sent her. Wang Xu said angrily.
"The Elven King is your father after all, don't talk about him in that tone!" Nilou also knew that her accusation was not very convincing, so when she spoke to Wang Xu, her tone seemed completely unconfident.
"You just said that one of the purposes of Afra's settlement in your city was to spy on you, so what are her other purposes?" Zana heard another meaning in Wang Xu's words, so she asked Wang Xu.
"She's listening to the news, I'm the distribution center of the news, any news can be bought and sold, and there is a possibility, she is also monitoring the hostile forces in the south, after all, my place is not too far from the southernmost part of the elven territory, and if the demon clan wants to attack the elven territory from the south to the north, it must pass through me!" Wang Xu replied.
"Oh......" After listening to Wang Xu's explanation, Zana and Nilou nodded and snorted at the same time.
Suddenly, one of the knights at the front of the line shouted, "It's over......" (To be continued. )
