Chapter 188: Demon General
"Red Lotus Altar ......"
Xu Nan pretended to groan, but he was actually a little embarrassed.
He'd forgotten about it a long time ago!
At the beginning, he still remembered using the special passage of the Flowing Fire in the Arcane Empire to grab people from the genuine buyers.
Later, because there were too many things, the effect of the Red Lotus Altar was not so stable, and Xu Nan completely forgot about it.
"Is there a list?" He looked at the Flowing Fire with an unchanged face.
The Flowing Fire Fox looked at Xu Nan suspiciously, but still pulled out a long list on the crystal screen on the desk.
The list is very well documented.
Everyone's name, gender, age, specialty, and origin...... Because the Red Lotus Altar is a population collection unit directly controlled by Flowing Fire, she can give full play to the super computing and storage capabilities of the ship soul, which is equivalent to half an artificial intelligence computer.
According to Liuhuo, most of the more than 160 people chose to join the city after the rebuilding of the Anonymous City.
"The people who can be selected by the Red Lotus Altar have their own specialties, and they are unlikely to leave, so they are very suitable for recruitment."
"Because you haven't mentioned this matter, I arranged it on my own."
Flowfire explained while presenting the list.
Xu Nan nodded weakly.
Although Flowing Fire has a lot of careful thoughts, it feels really good to have a ship soul to help deal with chores, and Xu Nan can't imagine what the entire Anonymous City would be like without Flowing Fire.
Anonymous City was originally a city that the cloud ship turned into, and once the conditions are ripe, it can be turned into a cloud ship again at any time, which is what Xu Nan is most satisfied with. As the saying goes, if you run to a monk, you can't run to the temple, but if Xu Nan really encounters some terrible enemy, he can still run away with everyone at all costs.
The list is very long, but Xu Nan looks at it very seriously.
The more he looked at it, the more he regretted that he hadn't mentioned it earlier!
These people are talents from all walks of life who are in short supply in the anonymous city!
Especially when he saw several talents with military backgrounds, he was even more happy and almost didn't jump.
"Where are these people now?"
Xu Nan couldn't help but ask.
"Living next door to the graveyard of the dead......"
Before Liuhuo's words were finished, he was severely interrupted by Xu Nan:
"How can you arrange for them to live next door to the grave?"
"What if it chills their hearts?"
"Quickly give someone another place to live...... Forget it, I'll arrange it myself. ”
Flowing Fire was speechless.
"But they had a great time." She couldn't help but excuse herself.
Xu Nan didn't believe it: "Normal people live next door to the cemetery and are happy?" ”
"See for yourself."
Come on, the silver-haired little Lori has a little temper, and as soon as she throws away her words, she snorts and leaves.
Xu Nan thought about it.
No matter what you say, you still have to go over and see for yourself; This matter is indeed what he missed, and it is good that a ship soul who does not understand human feelings can help arrange it.
Can't be too demanding.
"When will I be able to have a real caring little secretary......
Xu Nan wailed in his heart, cleaned up, and left the city lord's hall.
……
The location of the cemetery is located in the northeast corner of the main city, which was originally quite deserted.
But when Xu Nan used the Haglia scintillation technique to quickly arrive near the cemetery, he found that there were quite a lot of people here, and they were full of laughter.
There are several idle houses on the west side of the cemetery, which are all idle rooms belonging to the Dengyun ship, which were placed here by the flow of fire through the circulation of internal institutions, and made a [talent apartment] in an anonymous city.
The talents recruited through the Red Lotus Altar currently live here.
What is outrageous is that because Xu Nan didn't speak, Liuhuo actually let them live here, and they didn't have to work every day, they had food......
I don't know what this guy thinks!
In order to avoid startling the snake, Xu Nan opened the invisible magic ball and observed secretly.
"There are so many people for most of the day, it's so lively, it's easy to breed trouble!"
"These talents don't work, and it's a hidden danger after a long time."
"It's better to give them jobs."
Xu Nan silently persuaded himself and decided to assign them tasks when he went back, at least no longer providing free food.
Of course, as a special talent, it is still allowed to have a certain amount of Dengyun coin subsidy.
Only in this way will people work hard!
"Huh? These people have nothing to do, just wander around, what are these undead doing? ”
Xu Nan noticed that compared with the cemetery at the beginning, the cemetery has become much more lively now.
Of course, this is not a thing to be thankful for, because every dead soul means that there is a corpse buried in the cemetery, although it has been reborn, but it has also forgotten the memories of the past.
He estimated that the current cemetery already had more than fifty undead creatures, most of which were skeletons and ghosts, as well as three special varieties, and the specific Xu Nan had not yet identified clearly.
The leader of the cemetery is obviously the white-clothed resentful young lady who has been snubbed by Xu Nan for a long time.
When Xu Nan found her, the young lady was explaining the necessary common sense to a few little undead, with a sweet smile on her face, although it was in the form of an unjust soul, it gave people a feeling of spring.
The rest of the undead are similar.
After a while, the undead, under the command of the white-clothed resentful spirit, left the cemetery one after another and went to various urban areas.
The people in the talent apartment saw it, some smiled and waved to them, and some followed, and they didn't know why they went.
Xu Nan can only choose to be a silent tail monster.
He spent the day stalking the undead and some of the people in the apartment, from morning to afternoon, and then he was embarrassed to find out that he might indeed be wrong.
Everyone in the talent apartment not only does not hate the undead, but gets along with them very happily.
And when the undead go out on volunteer missions, they go up to help......
That's right, it's a volunteer mission!
Also because of Xu Nan's negligent management, the undead are indeed idle in the cemetery. It is estimated that it was the flow of fire that made a clever move, organized them, and turned them into volunteers in all aspects of the Anonymous City.
One of the most sought-after positions is facilitation.
Many of the Iceman miners are new to the city, and the huge Anonymous City is indeed easy to get dizzy. These spirits are the best guides.
And in the process of helping others, these undead seem to have achieved unprecedented happiness.
Will the undead be happy? Xu Nan was stunned when he saw this scene, and he couldn't help but run to the cemetery to see if the description of the tombstone of the undead had changed.
But the result was confusing to him.
At least at the level of data description, there is no alienation in the form of the undead, just normal undead.
Just looking at their enthusiastic work, Xu Nan couldn't help but suspect that there was a deviation in the system of Paradise Lost.
At the very least, they seemed to have a sense of belonging—even more affection than Xu Nan had for Anonymous City.
The people in the talent apartments are too.
The Red Lotus Altar gave them a chance to be reborn, and the Red Lotus Altar was surrounded by the little undead who were in charge of the reception, so their relationship was particularly good.
Xu Nan saw that kind of satisfied smile on more than one person's face.
It was a smile of heartfelt recognition of the city.
He suddenly thought of Xiao Liang.
"The city suddenly has a demonic nature? Can residents recognize it from the bottom of their hearts? And then work hard for it? ”
"But what about the Ice Plains people? Their enthusiasm for their work doesn't seem to be too high. ”
Xu Nan felt a little unbelievable.
Although this was obviously in his favor, he still had some itching when he couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Forget it, let's go and ask the Flowing Fire at night." Xu Nan touched his nose and gave up self-inference.
In the knowledge base of the ship soul, she has the territory data of various floating cities and cloud climbing ships of the Arcane Empire, so she should know something about it.
Xu Nan quietly left the cemetery.
Liuhuo didn't know where to run, so he could only trouble Ah Wei to run again and call the three people he wanted to meet today.
Although it is said that the door-to-door visit can only appear sincere, Xu Nan pondered for a while, and the city lord still has to have a certain prestige and posture.
The people of the Red Lotus Altar were taken in by him in desperation, and the sincerity of eating and drinking it was enough.
Leaders still have to think about something more.
It didn't take long for the three qualified special talents to be in place.
Xu Nan chose to meet separately.
His attitude was approachable, basically in the form of chatting, and the three of them chatted for about ten minutes each.
In fact, everything you want to know is written on the list given by Liuhuo, and Xu Nan just confirms it.
These three people are all from the military with military experience, and they can be said to be the most urgently needed military talents for Xu Nan.
Wilson, 38 years old, a scout, once led a cavalry company, and was good at sneak attacks and intelligence work.
Marander, 50, a former mid-level officer and retired instructor who organized and prepared boot camps, seems to be a good candidate to train soldiers.
Scurry, 37 years old, a lame veteran, with a mediocre resume, looks like a veteran wanderer, has been in the death squad and assault battalion, and is lucky to survive, but has a hidden disease in his right leg and cannot walk normally.
……
Xu Nan looked at this information, combined with the chat just now, and fell into deep thought.
In fact, he is very satisfied with the three of them, and the most satisfying thing is that they are not young, men and soldiers, they all need age and experience to play a good role!
"Who should be chosen as the first general of Anonymous City?"
"Tang Hai Seal, that guy should lie down for me, it's okay to mix with the prison army......"
"Actually, the answer is already obvious."
Xu Nan gently knocked on the table.
At this time, the flowing fire came out of nowhere, and asked curiously:
"Which gentleman will you choose to be in charge?"
Xu Nan smiled slightly:
"Isn't that self-explanatory?"
"I choose ......"
"Mr. Scurry!"
Flowing Fire was a little surprised: "But he's a cripple." ”
Xu Nan shook his head: "I have a goblin, and I'm also lame." ”
Flowing Fire thoughtfully: "You mean, the lame are all big guys?" ”
Xu Nan smiled and said nothing, leaving Liuhuo alone to guess where it was.
He won't tell Liuhuo, in terms of cause and effect, she said the opposite, it should be that the big guys like to pretend to be lame......
In the process of talking with the three of them just now, Xu Nan had of course seen it with the super-spiritual vision.
Scurry's pebbles are the most solid, which means that his soul is firm and his will is tenacious; And his gas pillar is not damaged, which means that he is full of energy, and if he really has a hidden disease, he will definitely react on the emotional level.
The human soul and body are actually closely related.
So Xu Nan can conclude that his lame leg is fake, but the temperament that has gone through vicissitudes is real.
This guy is definitely a hidden boss.
The most important point is that Xu Nan trusts his instincts more.
When he saw Scurry's bald head for the first time, he couldn't help but think of Senior Ah Kun and the many strong people who fit this characteristic.
Lame + bald?
How can he not be a big guy?!
The position of the chief general of Anonymous City was so hastily finalized.
When the on-site appointment was announced, not only the three people were stunned, but the entire government affairs hall was boiling.
Especially the people of the Ice Field, they have seen the busy and anxious appearance of Tang Seal in the recent period, and some of the old forces in Wildfire City have thought about it, and many people are quite covetous of the duties of the chief general.
They have secretly operated a lot, but unfortunately the real decision-makers: Xu Nan and Jiang Yuanchi, they can't influence it at all, and it's unlikely that they can even buy the Elephant Man Guard.
So when the order came down, their first reaction was to be uncomfortable, and their second reaction was to be ready to see Scurry's jokes.
Xu Nan is currently very authoritative, and the entire Anonymous City is basically in a state of inconsistencies, plus he is the savior of the people of the Ice Plain, so they won't say anything.
But there are certainly doubts about the appointment.
In fact, if you want to say anything bad, most of the people in the ice plain will not have it, but for power, how many people can avoid vulgarity?
Xu Nan saw all these things, but he didn't care.
He just needs to see the results.
Next, it's up to Curry to do it.
While appointing Scurry as the chief general, Xu Nan did not give up the other two, giving them the duties and powers to establish a scout battalion and an adjutant general respectively, and jumped a few civilian officials from the existing people in the city hall to help out.
Xu Nan put a lot of pressure on him.
Within a month, he wants to see an army with initial combat effectiveness!
Scurry didn't say anything, just silently accepted the appointment and hurriedly went to work.
It's just that when he left, his brisk posture was still exposed.
……
【Your Good Luck Angel Plays Effect!】 】
[Demon General Scurry activated the body's self-healing ability because of his high morale and boiling blood, and he was able to recover from many years of hidden diseases, with a career level of +1 and a command level of +1......]
The Paradise Lost system suddenly swiped over with such a line of explanation.
Xu Nan touched his nose, it turned out that this guy was really lame, but because his actions triggered the effect of the [Lucky Angel] given by Qin Lele, Scurry directly exploded his potential.
"Majin General? This guy is a ruthless man. ”
Xu Nan took a look, and Paradise Lost actually had a record of Scurry!
This guy comes from a secondary plane that is very close to the main material realm, it is a strong plane with a level cap of 18, and although the territory is not large, it is still in frequent wars.
It is probably what it looked like during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in ancient China.
Scurry was destroyed since he was a child, endured humiliation and ran to another big country to serve as a soldier, with extraordinary courage and strategy, he became a general, and in his early twenties, he destroyed the country that had destroyed him. Because of his ruthless methods and countless killings, he was called "Demon General" by the people of that plane.
Later, in a war, he was injured in one of his legs and could not even ride a horse, so he chose to retire.
It's a pity that he has killed countless people in his life, although he is very good at engaging in military affairs, but he is an idiot in politics, and he was calculated by the enemy later, and finally ended up with a ruined family.
When he was at the end of his rope, he was captured by the Red Lotus Altar.
Xu Nan can feel that Scurry, who has experienced so many things, no longer has the obsession of revenge, but he still has an unusual desire for war.
This kind of person should have died on the battlefield.
Let him govern the recruits of Anonymous City, and he doesn't know if he can stand it.
Xu Nan, who didn't attach much importance to this part, suddenly felt a little looking forward to it.
Then he was also a little curious about the trigger mechanism of the Angel of Good Luck.
"Don't the Angels of Good Fortune have a form?"
"Why am I still notified by Paradise Lost?"
He was a little puzzled.
It was at this time that a timid villain appeared on the tip of his nose.
She looks like a mini version of Qin Lele!
It's just that there is a pair of wings on the back, and then ...... There are breasts!
"The host...... Are you—are you calling me? ”
The Angel of Good Luck looks too shy to do it.
Xu Nan was a little suffocated.
Why did Qin Lele make such a play for himself?
Can't you make a normal one? Who is this shy angel fooling!
"Can you explain to me what you do?"
He tried to be as gentle as he could.
The Angel of Good Luck looked terrified: "Function? ”
"I, I, I don't...... I...... Not the kind of angelic ...... you think."
Xu Nan's skull hurts.
"I wonder, how can I trigger the Lucky Effect?"
He asked patiently.
The Angel of Good Luck reacted at this time, and said with a flushed face:
"Ah, there's no need for a specific ritual, you just need to do normal things like a normal person."
"Increasing the number of good luck triggers relies on increasing the frequency of doing things."
"In short...... It's ......"
She held back for a long time before she held back a sentence:
"The harder you work! The luckier! ”
Xu Nan nodded when he heard this, he roughly understood the trigger mechanism of the Angel of Good Luck, basically just looking at the character.
He doesn't need to do anything, brush up on his daily routine, and naturally there will be good luck happening.
Although the good luck seems to have befallen Scurry this time, since the Good Luck Angel judged it this way, it means that Xu Nan appointed him as a general, which is a very lucky thing for Xu Nan himself.
He was looking forward more and more to the army's follow-up progress.
At that moment, he glanced at the Angel of Good Fortune, who was still trembling at the tip of his nose, and couldn't help but say:
"Can you switch places?"
The Angel of Good Luck was a little apprehensive: "Is there anything wrong with my location?" Does the master dislike me? ”
"I just wanted to sneeze."
Xu Nan sighed.
