Chapter 122: Do You Want Me to Be Your Subordinate?
Since the Kimmeli Chamber of Commerce opened up a business route with Liema Town as a transit station, it has attracted many small chambers of commerce.
These small chambers of commerce do not have the capacity to trade internationally, and their operations are focused on the kingdom.
In the past year, the town of Liema has developed rapidly, first adventurers and merchants quickly gathered, and then a large number of people from the surrounding towns came to Liema Town to trade, and soon many people settled in Liema Town, followed by the expansion of Liema Town.
Business leads to prosperity.
Now Liema Town is already a town four times larger than the original, the number of residents has increased several times, there are nearly 1,000 traders, adventurers, mercenaries, and travelers who stop in Liema Town every day, and the streets are full of vendors and shops, which is prosperous.
The last time Ivo came to Liema Town, it was still very desolate and backward, and the benefits were always flocking to him, and he just wanted to compensate for the loss of an arm, but he didn't expect it to seem that the compensation was too much......
The town of Ivolairema is just a drop by and there is no other reason.
But the world is always full of surprises.
A sheriff stopped Ivo, who raised his eyebrows, "What?"
The sheriff looked surprised and asked in an uncertain tone, "Are you the league champion, the Linches star, the 'Hurricane' Ivo Harriken?"
Ivo was happy all of a sudden, buddy is so famous?
Wait......
Who installed that "Linches Star"?
Oh...... Eighty percent is Nafi, or Talper.
Seeing Ivo's affirmation, the sheriff immediately straightened up, his face was respectful, and he bowed slightly, "Your Excellency is welcome to Lyma Town, if you find it convenient, Lord Sir Madi will be happy to have lunch with you." ā
Ivo laughed, "If there was Sivar wine and pepper roast chicken for lunch, I would be happy to meet Sir Madi." ā
"Your request will be met. ā
He didn't notice that a burly northern orc was standing at the mouth of an alley in the stone street, his eyes were fixed on him, his eyes flickering slightly, revealing a look of interest, like a cat smelling fish.
......
In the lord's longhouse.
Although Madi has a broken hand, he looks good because the town is booming.
Madi hosted a banquet in the hall to entertain Ivo, smiling and courteous.
Ivo was a little confused, took a sip of Sivar's red wine, and asked, "Sir Maddy, although the food is delicious, I prefer to order it directly, what are you looking for me?"
After Madi put down his wine glass and asked the butler and servants to all step back, his face changed, and he said respectfully: "Believer Madi, see Lord Bishop." ā
"Excuse me. Ivo grimaced, "Are you looking for me just to drink?"
Madi said in a panic: "Lord Bishop, I just hope to thank you in person, your compensation to me has exceeded my expectations, Liema Town has always been my family territory, it is you who have made the town prosperous, you are my benefactor......"
Ivo interrupted him directly, "Tell me, what the hell do you want me to help with?"
Madi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said honestly: "After the death of Kalilban, the remnants of the Blood Scorpion Thieves became bandits near the town, looting caravans, so I want to ask you to help......"
Ivo flatly refused, stood up and said coldly: "This is your territory, don't come to me for help if anything happens!"
Madi hurriedly defended, "IāI just can't deal with them......"
"If you can't even maintain the security of your own territory, I don't think you should be a lord. ā
He was not obligated to help Madi expel the thieves, he was not Madi's subordinate, not even a friend, and this kind of petty fight was not difficult to solve at all, only a certain number of guards were hired.
Don't look at what Madi said nicely, in fact, the real reason for asking him for help is just to save money, and Ivo is very aware of this, which is why he reacts so coldly.
Ivo turned to leave, leaving Madi slumped in his chair with a look of remorse.
......
Ivo exhaled angrily, money and status always tend to corrupt a person's mind and make them more greedy.
He walked down the street carrying a huge war hammer, and the passers-by around him recognized his identity and looked at him curiously, and the aftermath of the league was still not gone, and he was very well-known throughout the territory of Lasses.
Passing by a market, Ivo noticed an alien on the side of the street, a nearly three-meter-tall minotaur with two crooked horns on his head, sitting on a dirty street corner, looking a little decadent.
The minotaur bowed his head and held a wooden sign with a crooked line written on it, "Accept the Hire."
Ivo is a little strange, the Minotaurs are an ancient race, and it is said that the blood contains the power of totem, which can induce the power of the wild.
It stands to reason that the Minotaur mercenaries are very popular in the mercenary home, how can they be reduced to the streets.
Ivo walked over and found that the minotaur's burly body was covered in scars, proof of his battle.
The minotaur looked up at Ivo and asked, "Mighty warrior, are you going to hire me?"
Ivo shook his head.
The minotaur looked down in frustration and lowered his head again.
Ivo suddenly felt like a pinprick in his back, and suddenly turned around, in the crowd of the market, a northern orc more than two meters tall stood out, seemed to be looking at him, seeing Ivo looked over, the northern orc turned his head casually, and walked away slowly, and passers-by avoided him in horror.
The Northern Orcs are a branch of orcs unique to Frigga, with pale skin and large muscles, like snow behemoths, and are aggressive by nature.
Since entering Burning Horse Town, he has occasionally seen a number of northern orcs passing by on the streets.
It made him a little strange.
Ivo frowned slightly, looked left and right, walked into a mercenary tavern, pushed open the door, and the smoke mixed with the aroma of malt wine came to his face.
The tavern was originally very noisy, the mercenaries drank and laughed loudly, and when Ivo opened the door, there was an instant silence, and the eyes of dozens of mercenaries here converged on Ivo, and the strange mercenaries were equal to competitors, and some mercenary eyes began to flicker malily.
Ivo walked in as if nothing had happened, and sat down at a random table, resting the hammer at his feet, the wooden floor could not bear the weight of the hammer, and there was a hoarse tearing sound, which clicked and cracked, revealing the gray stone floor below.
The mercenaries' faces froze, and they looked at Ivo with jealousy, and some of the mercenaries who originally had evil intentions also put away their bad thoughts.
Suddenly, someone recognized Ivo's identity and whispered to his companions, many mercenaries suddenly realized, their jealous eyes turned into curiosity, and they looked Ivo up and down, all of them felt Ivo's wanton strong aura.
The bartender shouted angrily, "Your weapon crushed the floor, if you let the boss know, I'll ......"
Ivo flicked a purse, the bartender's grumbling came to an abrupt end, and soon the tavern maid brought him a glass of ale.
Ivo threw his head up and slammed the table, attracting the attention of many mercenaries, he cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "Guys, can anyone tell me when the damned northern orcs appear in Burning Horse Town?"
A middle-aged mercenary laughed hoarsely, "Hurricane Ivo, it seems that you don't know anything about Burning Horse Town. ā
Ivo raised his eyelids and motioned for him to continue.
The middle-aged mercenary licked his lips, and the meaning was self-evident.
Ivo tossed over a coin with a denomination of five hundred, and the middle-aged mercenary smiled, "It seems to be a little little." ā
Ivo picked up the hammer with one hand, the chair under his ass was overwhelmed and creaked, and he said lightly: "Maybe the next moment you will be too much." ā
Only toughness can make this group of blood-licking mercenaries give up the idea of intensifying their greed.
The middle-aged mercenary's face changed, and he put away the coins stupidly, and began to tell the information he knew.
With the prosperity often comes a mixture of fish and dragons, and as it develops, two gangs and societies appear in the town of Liema, competing with each other.
One is the "Scar Society", whose members are mercenaries, thieves, bandits, gangsters, smuggling and thug businesses, decent, not bad mixed in Liema Town, and the leader is a retired veteran mercenary.
The other is the "White Bear Gang", whose members are all fierce northern orcs, who are very grouped, oppress the residents, and have no bottom line, cruel methods, do slave business, kidnap humans and sell them to orc clans, men are sold into the gladiatorial arena, and women are used as tools to vent their desires.
The big business of the two gangs is to collect protection money from the caravan and compete for territory, which is like fire and water.
The leader of the White Bear Gang is a three-meter-tall northern orc, whose most conspicuous record is the slaughter of a dozen cave bears in a cave alone, wearing white bear skin all year round, fierce and fierce.
Ivo was upset when he heard it, Lao Tzu is a white bear, isn't this slapping me in the face?
Crunch, the door of the tavern was pushed open, and a dozen men walked in, fierce and vicious, and the leader was a strong man with a scar on his lips, and his aura was fierce.
There was a whisper of chatter in the tavern.
"It's the backbone of the Scar Society. ā
"That's their leader, Tovgan the 'Splittooth Tiger'!"
The Splittooth Tiger slammed on the table, telling the bartender to hurry up and serve the wine, scanning the entire tavern, and quickly noticed Ivo, with a slight movement, "Hurricane Ivo?"
Ivo raised an eyebrow in surprise, he had been a little too well-known lately, as if everyone knew him.
The Split-Tooth Tiger grinned, looking a little hideous, he was very interested in Ivo, looking up and down, focusing on the warhammer at Ivo's feet, and quickly came to the conclusion that Ivo was not easy to mess with, so he nodded lightly.
Ivo didn't care.
After drinking, Ivo rode back on his horse.
After leaving the town of Liema for a few miles, his instincts were alerting, and Le Ma stopped and watched left and right.
It was a small hillside, and there was a ruined grotto at the bottom of the hillside, and Ivo stopped a few hundred meters away from the grotto, and he looked closely for a while, and found a tripwire tied between two trees in front of him, hidden in the dust, and someone was in ambush.
Ivo shouted, "Get out!"
With a low grin, a dozen northern orcs walked out of the grotto, holding huge battle axes, maces, and flails in their hands, with fierce faces, staring at Ivo with malicious intentions, slowly approaching.
One of the orcs roared, "Don't kill him, this is the champion of the Lasses Academy League, the boss must catch him alive, or he won't be able to sell it!"
Ivo's face turned cold, and his murderous intent turned up.
