Chapter Eighty-Nine: I Want to Be a Shopkeeper!

In the evening, outside the city of wildfires.

Ox carts were piled up on top of each other, and the sound of wailing and weeping came from the cracks in the city walls, attracting curious eyes.

The people of the ice field, who were busy rebuilding their homes, immediately discovered the uninvited guests outside the city walls, so the news was quickly reported to the city lord, who is now the backbone of Wildfire City.

When Xu Nan arrived in a hurry, he found that there was no one else here except for Viscount Mu Lu and his more than three hundred soldiers.

"Didn't you say they had legends?"

Xu Nan looked at Jiang Yuanchi with a puzzled expression, wondering if the senior sister wanted to surprise herself?

He had examined the soldiers, and they had obvious signs of strong electricity.

At this point, Xu Nan is confident that he will not make a mistake in judgment, after all, he is also a man who has experienced it many times.

Jiang Yuanchi's little face was also full of confusion.

She pondered for a moment and said seriously: "It may be that their legend has turned back." ”

The legend has turned back......

The corners of Xu Nan's mouth twitched slightly.

He just wanted to refute Jiang Yuanchi's strange conclusion, when suddenly, he saw a dark shadow in his afterglow.

He was vigilant at first, and then relaxed.

"I see......"

Xu Nan easily jumped off the city wall with the help of a small spell.

"Beware of deception!" Jiang Yuanchi was obviously haunted by the legend of the enemy, and she rode the magic carpet to follow.

"It doesn't matter, it should be a misunderstanding."

Xu Nan signaled that the rest of the people didn't have to follow, and he took Jiang Yuanchi alone to the grove next to the avenue.

It didn't take long for him to see the figure that had been connected to each other.

Tattoo Samurai Charles!

"You're here."

Charles turned around, his voice indistinguishable from anger.

Xu Nan just wanted to say something, but Senior Sister Jiang next to her had already silently opened the portal, ready to run away at any time.

"It's okay, it's my own person."

Xu Nan coughed and explained, "This is Mr. Charles, the only legendary warrior of the Sebaron family, and we had a relationship in the Double Moon Square before. ”

"This ...... It's my friend, Ms. Jiang Yuanchi, who is from Stephen Sand. She had just arrived in Wildfire City to help me, and many things were unfamiliar. ”

Although I don't know what happened between the two, looking at Senior Sister Jiang's weak face and her previous style of electric fish, Xu Nan can probably guess that there are eight or nine inseparable tens.

So taking the opportunity of the introduction, he also faintly meant to excuse Jiang Yuanchi.

Charles said sullenly: "It turned out to be Stephen Sand's witch, no wonder she was so ruthless." ”

It looks like he's quite biased against Stephen Sand's mage.

Jiang Yuanchi coughed, not daring to beep more.

She could feel Charles's strength, although after this time, she was already a fourth-order mage, but the existence of the tattooed samurai, which had a natural professional restraint relationship with the caster, she was still more in awe.

As a trait of awe, she wore glasses in a rare way to show her attention.

Xu Nan laughed awkwardly a few times and made a few jokes, barely making a haha for the previous misunderstanding.

In fact, he and Charles are not familiar with each other, but he only learned some supplementary information about the Sebaron family from Qin Lele's mouth, plus he had a little communication with Charles after the incident in Double Moon Square that day, and the latter disappeared after mentioning the conspirator Elliot.

Xu Nan originally thought that he had left Wildfire City, but he didn't expect to kill him again.

"These people are a welcome gift."

Charles also seems to have not communicated with people for a long time, and his speech is straightforward, without the meaning of beating around the bush:

"I know you're the current Lord of Wildfire City, and the fate of those Icemenβ€”my fellow citizensβ€”is in your hands."

"I can feel the otherworldly power within you, but I still have some doubts in my heart."

Xu Nan nodded, looked at the only surviving old man of the Sebalon family, and said calmly:

"If you have any doubts, you can just ask."

Charles was silent for a long time before he asked the first question:

"Are you male or female?"

Xu Nan almost didn't snort and choked on his own saliva!

Please, you're a legendary tattoo warrior!

How can you gossip like others?

"If privacy is involved, it's okay not to answer this question." Charles added.

"Male." Xu Nan did not hesitate.

"I see. There was nothing wrong with my perception. Charles sighed: "After being imprisoned for so long, I heard a lot of rumors about the new city lord after I came out, and I thought that my judgment had made a major mistake. ”

Xu Nan and Jiang Yuanchi glanced at each other, and they both felt that the old man's thinking was very strange.

However, the people had big fists, and they were obviously prepared, so the two young people pretended to laugh and chatted along his topic.

"Second question, do you have the confidence to take my compatriots through the Ice Dragon Tribulation?"

Speaking of this, Charles's tone became a lot more serious.

Xu Nan frowned: "Has it been determined that it is the Ice Dragon Tribulation?" ”

Charles nodded: "In the past few days, I have gone north to check the sleeping situation of that dragon, and it is now sleeping more and more restlessly, from the deep sleep of thousands of years ago to the light level of sleep. His consciousness will become more and more active, breathing ...... It's going to get heavier and heavier. ”

"The Ice Dragon Catastrophe on the Ice Fields is coming, and you may have more than just a winter...... It's five or six winters in one breath. ”

Xu Nan took a deep breath.

If there is no Anonymous City, he really can't solve this problem!

After all, it was the Ice Dragon Tribulation that had plagued the Northern Continent for an unknown number of years!

It is said that a long, long time ago, the Northern Continent was not as cold as it is now; Rather, it is as warm as spring as the Southern Continent and the Old World - when the Puluo gods formulated the law of spring and autumn, they did not formulate the relationship between the cold and the cold according to the dimensions like on the earth, after all, the radiation of the sun is the same as the rain and dew, and it is the core climate law of the Puluo world that causes the changes of the four seasons, not simply sunlight.

Therefore, the northern continent in the ancient era also had a similar climate to the current southern continent, with four seasons, especially spring and autumn with distinct climates.

Until that Kunyu-level frost dragon came across the multiverse.

It is said that the dragon named Asgard had fought the Old Gods and then retreated, but because he was so tired, he lay on the cliffs of the Northern Continent and fell into a deep sleep.

One of his nostrils was facing the world, and in the middle of his breath, he caused the phenomenon of the Supreme Mountains and the ice fields being frozen for thousands of miles.

And his other nostril is towards a certain part of the world of the dead, if it is just the cold, then the undead probably don't care, but his breath carries substantial damage, and it can actually hurt the spirit, so that area, even the undead can't live.

The existence of Asgard has caused the unique perennial winter climate of the Northern Continent, and at the same time, it has also indirectly protected the Efaria civilization - when the gods attacked the Afaria civilization, they temporarily chose a truce, in fact, because they were afraid of waking up this giant beast.

Kunyu-level dragon, that is no longer a transcendent existence that can be interpreted by ordinary levels.

Legend has it that there is only one Kunyu-level dragon in the 300 million universes - this supreme creature transcended by the primeval dragon, immortal and immortal, with more power than the gods, even when the arcane empire was at its peak and most expanded, those arcanists who clamored to end the heavenly kingdom did not dare to provoke Asgard.

Such a creature naturally receives a lot of attention from the multiverse.

It's just that in the past thousands of years, he has slept deeply, and gradually, people have forgotten about it.

Only the powerhouses who cared about the Northern Continent paid attention to the sleeping condition of the Frost Dragon all the time.

Generally speaking, the sleep of the great ice dragon is deep and shallow, and when it is deep, it breathes lightly and the cold is less, and the northern ice fields may even attract rare summer days; And when it's shallow, it can be a snowstorm and a dark winter for many years!

The legendary "Ice Dragon Catastrophe" in the Northland refers to the time when Asgard slept shallowly.

This means that the population of the Icemen is about to fall off a cliff!

Charles cared about this, but Xu Nan expected it.

He got straight to the point and said directly:

"I have a dungeon and have enough energy, as long as they do the proper work according to my arrangement; I can guarantee that they will have no worries about food and clothing. ”

"Dungeons?" Charles is still a little worried: "Although I have not personally experienced the severe cold of the Ice Dragon Tribulation, I have many painful records in history, and the Ice Plains have not tried to dig underground buildings......"

"Trust me, Mr. Charles."

Xu Nan smiled slightly: "This will be the most advanced dungeon you have ever seen." We have the best air conditioning system. ”

"Air conditioning system?" Charles looked confused.

Xu Nan coughed: "Why don't you go over and have a look?" ”

Jiang Yuanchi next to him opened a portal very skillfully, and in the portal, the professionals from the earth were still fresh, frantically exploring the limited area that Xu Nan had opened to them.

Charles thought about it for a moment, but strode in.

……

A few hours later, in the anonymous city.

"Honestly, you're amazing me again." Charles curiously stroked the hot metal wall of the power furnace, cautiously looked at the big demon heart jumping inside, and couldn't help but sigh: "We ice people are too far behind in civilization......

Xu Nan couldn't say anything, after all, people were telling the truth.

Whether it is the technological civilization of the earth or the magical civilization of the Arcane Empire, compared to the barren and backward natives of the ice field, it is like alien technology.

"So, you're going to put them here?"

"That's your plan? Let my fellow citizens work for you? ”

Although Charles doesn't understand dungeons, his brain is obviously fine, and he can see the stakes at a glance.

Xu Nan's face did not change color:

"It's not about working for me, it's just mutually beneficial."

"Reciprocal benefits?" Charles sneered: "How many hours a day are you going to make them work?" ”

"I warn you, if you want to enslave my fellow citizens like the Dungeon Masters of the Dark World, I will not hesitate to take them south, even if it leaves this land!"

Xu Nan frowned.

Is this old man bargaining with himself?

As a city lord (capitalist), of course, he wants the people of the ice field to work as long as possible!

He wanted to try playing the otherworldly version of 996...... Being bluffed by the old man like this, Xu Nan could only continue to think about it in his heart.

Charles stared at Xu Nan:

"Why don't you speak?"

"You're really greedy for their labor!"

"Although you saved them, we need to be reminded that we Ice Plains are not so easy to exploit!"

Xu Nan continued to be silent.

Charles sat down and stared at Xu Nan viciously:

"I need your assurance."

"You have to be kind to them, only then can I leave in peace, or I will take them."

Leave? Take them away?

Xu Nan looked at the old man with some surprise.

Charles sighed:

"Mr. City Lord, there is no need to cover up the negotiations between us; The House of Sebaron is gone, and this is not a place for me to stay for long, and if nothing happens, I am about to go in search of my son Barnes, who, as you say, is being hunted by the god of day, and I fear for his safety. ”

"But even so, I'll settle things here before I set out on my way."

"My compatriots, I cannot allow them to be humiliated and exploited!"

The pressure of the legendary level slowly passed over.

"I need a clear statement about working hours."

He looked at Xu Nan.

Xu Nan asked tentatively: "Hmm? Eight hours a day? ”

"What?!"

Charles was stunned for a moment, and then became furious:

"Are you looking down on the hard work of our icemen?"

"At least twelve hours a day!"

This time it was Xu Nan's turn to be stunned.

"I thought you would be like those dungeon lords of the dark world, and let my fellow people work twenty hours a day

...... times," Charles said.

"Eight hours a day is definitely too little, we Ice Plains are very industrious races, as long as you give them the opportunity to work hard and get rich, I believe twelve hours is a more reasonable time......"

"After all, it's much better than dying under the Ice Dragon Tribulation."

"Well, now that you've made that decision, and with Stephen Sand backing you, I'm willing to believe that my countrymen are better off under your rule than they were before. This dungeon is sure to be a shining new star in the Northlands. ”

"I'll leave all the things left behind by the Sebalon family to you, I hope you don't waste these materials."

"Finally, if there's any news from Barnes, please contact me."

With that, Charles solemnly took out a black rag from his bosom.

That thing was extremely greasy, if it wasn't for the legend handing it over, Xu Nan really wouldn't have taken it.

"What is this?"

He looked curiously at the rag in his hand.

"This is my skin." Charles said calmly:

"Light it and I'll be able to sense it right away, and if there are no accidents, I'll be back soon."

"Remember, it can only be ignited when there is news about Barnes, or when my compatriots are in existential danger."

"Wildfire City will be handed over to you, Mr. City Lord from the Otherworld."

Finally, he bowed deeply to Xu Nan, and then turned around and left in style.

"He's a ruthless man."

Jiang Yuanchi looked at the human skin in Xu Nan's hand and made such an evaluation.

Xu Nan nodded sincerely, and said with some embarrassment:

"He's going to find his son."

"I don't know if Barnes will recognize this father after becoming a stone devil, it's really sad."

"The next time I see this old gentleman, I don't know when it will be, right?"

Before his words fell, the tall and burly figure reappeared in Xu Nan's field of vision.

"Hmm."

"Excuse me, how do you get to the surface?"

Charles asked, a little embarrassed:

"I've just tried several paths, but they can't get through."

……

After Charles and Viscount Mulu were dealt with, the uncertainties about Wildfire City were reduced by more than half at once!

In the next few days, Xu Nan made a bold move, using the Bingyuan people themselves and the members of the Gluttonous God Cult as the team to form the first city hall member of Wildfire City-Anonymous City.

The temporary government agency of Wildfire City began to operate officially, and Xu Nan also tasted the taste of power for the first time.

Viscount Mu Lu and his soldiers, Xu Nan sent them back to the Tieshan Territory intact; And the eldest prince after losing the shadow demon also kept a lot of low profile, and did not reply to Xu Nan again, probably because he was frightened.

And Mr. Guy Ritchie, who quietly returned to Bantuo Port, although he was reluctant to reveal it, still told the public that he had ended his marriage contract with Tumelsu, which made many people more curious about Xu Nan.

At the same time, with the help of the nomad's mouth, the news that the new lord of Wildfire City has the support of Stephen Sand also spread.

This has made many careerists who have bad intentions against Wildfire City rein in their minions.

True or not, at least Stephen Sand's claim that he didn't explicitly stand up against Wildfire City already says a lot.

Up and down the Eastern Kingdom, more and more people are beginning to pay attention to this border town.

And inside Wildfire City, an unprecedented change is also underway.

With the help of the new city hall, Xu Nan boldly conveyed his political demands, revenge and ambitions to everyone in the ice through speeches and leaflets.

Influenced by the Castle Lord's strong charisma, it didn't take long for the Iceborne to accept the decision to migrate to Anonymous City.

Facts have proved that after experiencing the previous events and being blessed by Stephen Sand's mysterious aura, Xu Nan now has a very high prestige within the Ice Plains.

After almost three full days of speeches, there was no more resistance in the city.

Under Xu Nan's plan, most of the Ice Plains people will go to live in the Anonymous City near the Living Corpse Swamp.

A small number of people continue to renovate Wildfire City.

This is a very important move for Xu Nan.

The abandoned Wildfire City will soon become a hub for Anonymous City, as well as a fortress for Xu Nan!

Of course, that's all for the future.

At present, Xu Nan's top priority is still to deal with the problems exposed during the migration.

For example, the most basic promotion of the hukou system has been carried out very slowly because the literacy rate of the people of the ice plain is not high.

Another example is the allocation of residential areas, which has also caused a lot of riots.

These things are all things that Xu Nan, as the city lord, must deal with.

"I really want to be a hands-off shopkeeper!"

In the hall of the city lord of Anonymous City, Xu Nan listened to the report of the flowing fire, and wanted to grab the ground with his head.

"But Lord City, aren't you in the state of shaking off your hands now?"

The silver-haired little Lori ruthlessly mends the knife.

Xu Nan slapped the table expressionlessly:

"You shut down your [Poisonous Tongue] module for me!"
