Chapter Forty-Eight: I Need a Few Macho Men!
Although he didn't know what Gray was up to, Xu Nan was still relieved to entrust Lena to this high-level mercenary.
It's not that other people's daughters aren't distressed, but Xu Nan believes in Lina's strength.
Gray if really to Leigh
Na has bad intentions, so the unlucky one is probably himself.
After all, these days, he has also vaguely learned some terrifying deeds about Miss Lena from Mr. Smith's side knocks, and he also knows more or less that he has committed sins-of course, these things that may be claimed by Paradise Lost, Xu Nan will never admit it.
Anyway, he himself is not good at lightning spells, and he will not do such dirty things as stealing underwear......
As for whether Lena will learn anything bad from Gray, Xu Nan is also very relieved.
After all, he has been in contact with Gray for so long, and he hasn't found any vices in him - except for slamming the door, at most, it is not a bad thing for a child to let her learn one more ability to eat apples out of thin air!
……
For the next few days, Xu Nan was wandering around Wildfire City, ostensibly to pass the time without doing his job, but in fact it was about the same.
After all, if Barnes doesn't take the initiative to make trouble, he is alone, and it will be difficult for him to make any countermeasures.
The Mudon Festival was just three days away, and there was a rare jubilant in Wildfire City.
For the people of the ice fields, the Mudon Festival is a very important festival.
In Wildfire City, after Mudong Festival, the coldest day of the year arrives; Many homeless poor people choose to use up all their savings on this night, get drunk, and finally walk in the darkness into the endless ice and snow.
Every year, hunters find similar ice sculptures in the wild, and some of them become predators of the icefields, such as food for the icewolves, and the icemen don't mind, they think it's a decent way to die.
For this tradition, Xu Nan didn't feel particularly backward, but just felt the freedom of the Ice Plains people and the cruelty of Wildfire City.
It's too cold in the Northlands.
Every year, in every northern city, people freeze to death, let alone a city like Wildfire City, which is close to the backbone of the world.
Every winter is a catastrophe.
This winter, however, seems to be extraordinarily different.
First of all, the temperature did not drop to an unacceptable level before the Mudon Festival, and it seems that this year's winter is not cold; Secondly, there has been good news in Wildfire City recently, as the first family, the Sebaron family has just resolved the intra-clan dispute, completely confirming the status of Young Master Barnes's right to speak.
Although Barnes still believes that his father is the real patriarch, many people have come to call him Lord Barnes in private - as for the old and stubborn old man of the Sebaron family, who tried to defend his ancestral teachings, he has been put under house arrest by his wonderful son.
In this bloodless conflict, Barnes showed his thunderous skills and some unpredictable powers, as if he were omniscient, he pulled out every potential opponent and quickly cut it out.
This method is terrifying, and there is an unprecedented unity within the Sebaron family, even branches like Grimm have been called and ordered to participate in the management of some affairs - of course, with his nine-point intelligence, the job currently assigned is the [Alien Population Registration Agency] such a non-position.
Everyone knows that there are not many outsiders in Wildfire City at all.
And most importantly, Barness's strength completely changed the decision that the Cebaron family had been making for centuries – that is, the policy of producing and selling Theron wine.
He began to expand the plantation, even envisioning a second near Wildfire City to increase the production line of Theron at an astonishing rate.
There is speculation that he has received a promise from the Banda Port Chamber of Commerce, otherwise he would not have expanded production so easily.
In this way, the problem that has plagued Theron for many years will be solved, and this high-end beverage is about to enter the southern market in the Northland.
For ordinary people, this is great news!
At least that's what Xu Nan felt when he was casually wandering around the city.
The expansion of plantations and the increase of production lines have directly led to an increase in the labor demand of plantations. Barnes has always been generous to his employees, and many of the able-bodied Icefield people in the slums have been able to find work.
According to their estimates, they will be paid at least some firewood and bread to survive the bitter cold after Mudon.
Even, if Theron sells well next year, the entire Wildfire City will change its previous economic malaise.
"This year, there won't be so many of our compatriots starving or freezing to death."
"I'm going to bring the city back to life, I'm going to make you rich."
"It's my dream, and I've always done it."
That's what Barnes said yesterday when he publicly announced the change in Theron's sales policy.
No matter what the other forces in the city thought, the ordinary people were overjoyed.
Because of this decision of Barnes, it can keep them alive, and they can keep their families alive, so that it is enough.
For this difficult city, being alive is already the most extravagant desire of many people.
For a time, Barnes' personal popularity was almost at its peak.
Even when he immediately announced that Xu Nan was about to officially become the city lord of Wildfire City after the Mudon Festival party, people were chanting Banes's name.
Although the people of the ice field did not reject Xu Nan, and even liked him a little under the seduction of his charisma, they only recognized this man who promised them bread and firewood after all.
In Wildfire City, every boy vows to draw a sword for Mr. Barnes, and every girl secretly weaves a bracelet in the hope of giving it to the generous Lord Barnes on the day of Mudon's Day.
"Letting people who haven't had enough to eat take care of the affairs of the evil gods is still a fantasy after all."
"On the other hand, if that guy can really feed so many people, why not sit on the sidelines?"
Xu Nan shook his head secretly.
His heart was heavy.
If in the beginning, he was just trying to take the position of Lord of Wildfire City for the sake of the Emerald Mine; So now, he has to think not only about the person behind Theron's wine, but also how to lead this group of ice people out of poverty and become rich......
Sure enough, it's still hard to stand alone.
In the past few days, Xu Nan wanted to investigate some things, but found that they were all clumsy.
Gray was sent by him to take the baby, so naturally he couldn't help much; In fact, even if he was willing to help, Xu Nan didn't believe him very much, after all, this mercenary gentleman was the only guy who knew his identity, and the devil knew if he would notice something, or, as a threat, ask for more chips.
Being alone in another world, wanting to control a city with your bare hands is almost a dream.
Considering that he had to fight against the people of the city before this, the object of the group was still a legendary big boss, and despite the Lion King, Xu Nan was also very weak-hearted.
"Sure enough, I still have to continue to shake people!"
Returning to the empty City Lord's Mansion, after careful consideration, Xu Nan took out the unstable portal that he hadn't seen for a long time.
He decided to ask Evelyn. Caesar sought help from some people.
Although he also knew that Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess had a difficult time in the Ice Wind, she seemed to have withstood the attacks of the demons, and it should not be a problem to recruit a few people who could fight to help in the short term.
Big deal, sell her a little more hair growth supplement!
Xu Nan opened the unstable portal, and without thinking about it, he threw a note asking for help.
"Urgent help! I need a couple of hunks! ”
……
Ice Wind Collar. In the castle living room, today is also a rare liveliness.
The few waiters were busy serving their afternoon tea snacks, and by the way, they looked curiously at the few guests who had come by accident, but unfortunately they had hidden themselves in their cloaks, and they were tightly covered, and there was some ice and snow outside their heads, apparently they had come in a hurry.
The waiter didn't dare to look more, and when he finished serving, he quickly evacuated.
In the living room, the temperature is not high, because Evelyn has always advocated frugality, the flame in her fireplace is always half-dead, and even the other officials with the Ice Wind Collar only dare to burn half of the firewood at home, let alone in the Ice Wind Collar, even in the Southern King Capital is an interesting anecdote.
In addition to the four princesses themselves, there was also Changfeng Taku, who had become the chief advisor of the Ice Wind Lord, as well as several officials and generals.
“…… This time, in addition to coming over to thank Her Royal Highness the princess for her kindness, there is also a reminder from the family teacher. ”
A deep voice rang out from under the cloak: "On the southern side, a conspiracy is brewing against you, and this conspiracy seems to be related to a red dragon that was active in the Northland hundreds of years ago. ”
An official next to him suddenly asked nervously, "Master, what do you mean that there will be a red dragon attacking the Ice Wind Collar?" ”
The voice was silent for a moment before continuing:
"This is the prediction of the tutor."
"But he can't be sure that the red dragon is sleeping deeply, and the other party's conspiracy may not succeed."
Evelyn nodded reservedly, and smiled shallowly:
"Thank you for the reminder."
"I don't know if the next few people will be in the Ice Wind Collar for a while?"
The voice said apologetically:
"Although I also want to help solve some problems with the Ice Wind Collar, I also have a mission to come out this time."
"Uh-huh, things over there in the south are very urgent......
As soon as his words fell, a drifting bottle suddenly jumped out of Evelyn's chest!
Evelyn's face turned red, how long has this guy not contacted herself, why is it so sudden today?
Before she could react, the bottle cracked open on its own, and a note floated out.
[Urgent help! I need a couple of hunks! 】
Signed, Xu Nan.
The man in the cloak widened his eyes and grabbed the note.
Evelyn coughed for a long time before the other party returned the note to Evelyn.
"Then I won't keep a few masters......"
She was visibly absent-minded, clutching at the note and thinking about something.
As a result, the other party suddenly took off his cloak and said solemnly:
"It's the unstable portal, right?"
"Senior Brother Xu Nan is asking you for help?"
"What's the trouble he's in? Can you contact him? ”
Evelyn said tentatively:
"It's Mr. Xu Nan...... It's just that the south ......"
The other person waved his hand:
"The affairs of the south, there is no hurry."
Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
