Chapter 33: Means (2)
Winning the contract is only the first step for Qi Meng to occupy this iron mine, and there are only two situations in which Qi Meng will choose to suffer, one is to better occupy it later, and the other is to completely occupy it later!
The early morning sun had just shone into the town from the mountains, and Qi Meng had already stood on the stage with several majestic knight guards in the town square, and nearly a thousand civilians were watching from the audience, and the old mayor stood under the stage next to Qi Meng, on the face of the armor, he cleared his throat with an absolutely gentle thug, and for the first time he stood on the platform of thousands of onlookers to speak, it was inevitable that he was still a little nervous, so there was a low-level ice-based magic scroll hidden in the helmet, always maintaining his sobriety and natural expression.

"Residents of Geria Town, I am fortunate to be able to buy iron and stone from your industrious hands, I am the president of the Berserk Chamber of Commerce, and I am also an important object of trading iron and stone with you in the future, I have negotiated with the old town mayor, I will buy your iron and stone at a price higher than half of the West Blue Chamber of Commerce, I have sent knights back to get the gold coins for this year, I believe it will not be long before they will come back with 500,000 gold coins. ”
After Qi Meng finished speaking, the audience was in an uproar.
"Half?!"
"Is this true, old mayor?" ......
The old mayor came up to the stage with his usual smile to explain, but his much younger face and body were unknown to most people, and only those who had seen his young appearance exclaimed the old mayor's name.
"Well, that's Old Mayor Gori, I remember, it must be, he was like this thirty years ago, he, he's getting younger!"
The uproar became louder, and the old mayor waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said slowly, "It's a great honor to cooperate with the Berserker Chamber of Commerce, bringing me the young Berserker Chamber of Commerce President, and bringing more gold coins to the whole town, a better future." ”
After the old mayor finished speaking, Qi Meng said a few more words and left in the eyes of everyone, and the gangster, who was quite dissatisfied with his eloquence today, felt that there was no need to say any more.
The thugs who had returned to the inn called for a few knights and whispered a few words in their ears one by one.
So, on the first day of the town, the Valan Furious Chamber of Commerce, the enthusiastic and loving president saved the children under the horse's hooves and revived the old man who was dying.
The next day, the knights of the Berserker Knights built a road to Valan that had been blocked by a landslide.
On the third day, the polite president of the Chamber of Commerce politely rejected the love of the first innocent girl.
On the fourth day, the righteous and majestic chief executed a knight who dared to disturb the lives of the townspeople.
On the fifth day, the whole town was rumored to be Qimeng.
On the sixth day, the knight returned with two wagons of gold coins.
On the seventh day, Zimon said goodbye to all the townspeople with affection, and told the other elders of the town that they could always go to Varan to find him if they were in trouble.
The voices that had questioned Qi Meng's brilliance all fell silent after Qi Meng left.
After Qi Meng brought a heavy 'light' to the peaceful town, he left without taking any benefits, so Qi Meng's image gradually brightened.
"Damn, how can Lao Tzu be so smart, I'm afraid Nurbi is nothing more than that!" he kept patting his thighs on the road, boasting non-stop.
Thanks to the fact that he had lived in Gorin, had been influenced by Baal, and wanted to indulge in the truth, Qi Meng had already mastered it, and he pretended to sigh and said, "Poor old mayor's family, oh my God, I have done such a sinful thing, great God of Light, please forgive your sinful believers." ”
In the midst of self-satisfaction, there was a commotion in front of him, the gangster looked up and was just about to take a closer look, a human head in front of him had been smashed over, fortunately thanks to many days of hard training, the gangster already had the strength of a sixth-level martial artist, before the head hit him, he took the lead in lifting the fighting spirit, turned sideways from the horse, and dodged the head, but the knight of the Berserker Knights behind him was knocked to the ground, and the head was dented in his heavy armor, and the power was surprisingly great.
At the front of the line, several knights were immediately dealing with a red demonic beast, and several knights had already fallen on the ground, and this head belonged to one of them.
"Blood Red Dragon Crocodile!" Qi Meng exclaimed, not even hearing the voice of the great knight beside him, and fell into a deep shock.
How did it end up here?
The smell of dragon crocodile blood in my body and Sophie's dragon blood?
In just two flashes of thought, the thugs already knew that something was wrong, and shouted, "Hurry up, hurry up, that stupid demonic beast dares to violate the dignity of the Berserker Knights." ”
These well-trained knights were naturally unwilling to be humiliated, with Qi Meng's order, under the leadership of the two big knights, they rushed to the dragon crocodile together, and when they were about to approach the dragon crocodile, some knights jumped off their horses, pulled out their long swords, and stabbed towards the ground under the dragon crocodile, combining the strength of twenty knights, the fighting spirit instantly lifted the ground under the dragon crocodile, and the dragon crocodile was thrown into the air.
The other knights jumped off their horses, raised their swords, cast spells, and stabbed the crocodile as it fell, but most of them only scratched the crocodile's hard skin, and only the tip of the lucky sword could pierce a little through the cracks in the cracked skin.
The dragon crocodile was slightly injured, his eyes immediately flashed with a fierce light, and he raised his huge claws to sweep away the three or four knights in front of him, and the sharp claws cut their armor hard, and these three or four flew in the air, and his internal organs had landed in advance, and he only moved on the ground for a moment before he lost his breath.
But these berserker knights did not panic at all, after the dragon crocodile injured five or six more people, they chose to distance themselves and switch to bows and arrows, and in the first wave of arrow rain, dozens of flying arrows shot straight towards the dragon crocodile's face, the purpose was obviously to shoot the eyes of this head, the dragon crocodile opened its bloody mouth and roared, and the air wave blew down the arrows in front of him, and the rest that were not shocked fell on his hard skin with fighting spirit.
The Berserker Knights released a second rain of arrows, but this time the target was the ground beneath the crocodile, and although these arrows could not seriously injure the crocodile, they were more than enough to pierce the ground and roll up a large amount of dirt and dust, and the flying dirt and dust quickly enveloped the crocodile.
When it rushed out of the dust angrily, the long swords of the berserker knights had already descended again, this time it was different from the first time, all of them stabbed at his eyes, lower abdomen, and the cracks in those skins, the dragon crocodile's tail swept, and several knights were knocked away, but the attacks of the other knights hit the beast, and the dragon crocodile had two shiny swords stuck in its lower abdomen, five or six in the back, and one on the eyelid, which almost stabbed it in the eyeballs.
"Why doesn't this guy have to breathe?" Qi Meng thought to himself, the only possibility was that it hadn't fully recovered from its last injury.
The blood flowing from the beast's body quickly stained the ground beneath it, and it swung its claws and tail more frequently, and the knights lay down at least halfway, but these knights were different from the mercenaries, and even then none of them flinched, stopped attacking the dragon crocodile, and the rhythm of the attack was not chaotic in the slightest.
Qi Meng, who was watching the battle from a distance, was secretly surprised in his heart, it was completely unexpected that the most ordinary team of knights of the Berserker Knights could seriously injure the dragon crocodile to this extent, these knights were generally only five or six levels!
The dragon crocodile seemed to have sensed the danger of death, in the knight's sword, slowly retreated, the two big knights saw its intentions, and immediately let ten knights block its retreat, the dragon crocodile was vigilant against the enemies in front and behind, and a few more arrows were hit on the body, roaring in pain, after a period of contraction and squirming in the chest and abdomen, and finally vomiting blood mist, but this time the scope of the blood mist was far from the original, only enveloping eight knights, and the eight knights did not die immediately, but rolled on the ground in pain.
The crocodile took the opportunity to crash into the two remaining knights behind him and quickly fled. In terms of speed, this sixth-order demonic beast had an absolute advantage, and the great knights also understood this, so they didn't let the knights chase after it anymore.
The thug looked at the direction in which the dragon crocodile had disappeared and pondered for a while.
After counting the number of lost knights, Zimon ordered the knights to bury the bodies and rush to Valan again.
Nearly half a month after he left, the building of the Berserker Chamber of Commerce had officially replaced the mansion of a certain nobleman.
Qi Meng received the news as soon as he rushed back, and the gangsters couldn't wait to go to the Chamber of Commerce to have a look, which he had established single-handedly, although every brick and tile was the credit of the Berserker Knights.
The Chamber of Commerce occupies an extremely wide area, although it is only three stories high, but the castle-like style makes it enough to stand out among many buildings, but unfortunately, Morodis, as a demon, disdains the trivialities of the world, after Qi Meng left, everything in the Chamber of Commerce is in a state of stagnation, and the empty Chamber of Commerce Qi Meng stays for a while, and he can't stand the strange loneliness brought by the empty building.
Gangsters are not allowed to pay out of their own pockets to recruit some people to the Chamber of Commerce, and this is still some 'shameful' remuneration given to the gangsters when Helen officially announced that Qi Meng was dismissed from the Helen Chamber of Commerce.
On the second day after Qi Meng returned, the Berserker Chamber of Commerce was officially opened, but unlike other chambers of commerce, the counters and warehouses of the Berserker Chamber of Commerce were empty, and the name of the Chamber of Commerce at the door was also engraved with a line of words.
'The minimum amount to trade with the Chamber of Commerce shall not be less than 1,000 gold coins. ’
While people were talking about the arrogance and ignorance of the Berserker Chamber of Commerce, Qi Meng was also waiting for his good news.
Half a month after the old mayor regained his youth, the old nobleman, who had regained his infinite expectations for life, turned into a monster on a full moon night, mutilating his grandson and daughter.
And the power is infinite, several young warriors in the town are not his opponents, and the old mayor who wantonly grabs and bites the residents in the town has killed five or six people.
People in panic can easily think of Qi Meng half a month ago, how nice it would be if he was there now, he was a knight with such a glorious image.
The only leader of the people, the old mayor, had turned into a bloodthirsty maniac, and they invited several elders, who agreed that they should ask the knight for help.
So the people who asked for help rushed to Valan non-stop, and several elders went home with guilt for the old mayor, and told their son to hide the gold coins in a more secret place, which was the only basis for them to go to a big city like Valan to become nobles in the future, and the source of these gold coins was naturally Qimeng.
When the helper brought the news to Varanzimon, he saw a Qimeng who was extremely nervous and anxious, a Qimeng who was impatient to save people, and even went out and almost fell on the stairs, the dry eyes of the rescuer, and the horsewhip urged by Qimeng on the road made his eyes burst into tears.
He saw the shadow of the old mayor in Qi Meng, who was such a selfless and great person.
So after he returned, he also vividly shared this great Zimon with others.
Qi Meng rushed to the town, he was already dusty and tired, and the townspeople who greeted him were surprised by his arrival and moved by his hard work, Qi Meng got off his horse, looked anxious, and immediately asked people to take him to see the old mayor.
The old man had reverted to his old form, his face was covered in blood, and he wandered aimlessly through the streets, and when he saw a living person, his empty eyes suddenly appeared fierce, and he pounced on Qi Meng's side.
Everyone took a step back in fright, except for the thug's not-so-tall body, who took a step forward, and all looked at the knight from Valan, the merchant, who had high hopes for him.
Qi Meng looked at the old mayor who pounced on him with solemn eyes, and quickly dodged, making the old mayor pounce, but the old mayor who should have lost his mind did not choose to pounce on the townspeople behind Qi Meng at this time, but turned his head and pounced on Qi Meng again.
Qi Meng tried to lock the old mayor's arms with both hands at the same time as he pounced, but the old man with a whining mouth was extremely powerful, and his rickety body struggled wildly, pushing Qi Meng more than ten meters away, crashing into several houses.
The townspeople were all cold in their hearts, especially the young people who had fought with the old mayor, who knew that this old and weak body contained great strength, and they were even more worried about Qi Meng.
In the smoke and dust, Qi Meng clutched his chest, a big depression appeared in the armor, bright red blood penetrated from the gap in the armor to the armor, he gasped with difficulty, his eyes did not leave the old mayor for a moment, the townspeople were completely moved, expecting this righteous and brave knight to defeat the demon in front of him.
Qi Meng's solemn face turned extremely regretful, and said, "My esteemed old mayor, I really shouldn't have brought the Most Holy and Pure Blessing Technique, I thought you were already one of the few people in the world who had no selfish desires, and as a result, ...... Alas~. As he spoke, he already had an extra scroll in his hand.
Qi Meng opened the scroll, a dazzling white light shone on the old mayor, this rickety body immediately wailed in pain on the ground, his skin quickly melted into black smoke in the white light, and soon only a black skeleton remained, until the skeleton slowly faded to black, white again, the scroll in Qi Meng's hand turned into powder, he shook his body, staggered back a few steps, and fell into the arms of a young girl beside him.
By the time Qi Meng 'woke up', three days had passed, and several elders found his private gold coins in the old mayor's house, and for a while, the old mayor's shamelessness and hypocrisy were greatly spurned, and of course, Qi Meng's bravery and justice were also widely spread.
The only fly in the ointment is the lack of poetry in this praise, and for the first time Zimon acknowledges the value of those poets, while ordinary towns lack poets.
For more than half a month, the old mayor turned into a monster, and everyone who was deeply tormented by fear had a carnival organized by the elders, and solemnly announced that Qi Meng temporarily replaced the old mayor's position.
This 'temporary' time will continue until the next Valan is assigned to a nobleman.
As for the next nobleman, I'm afraid Odyssey and Zimon are well aware.
