Chapter 81: The Wedding Is About to Begin
Thunder Cliff is safe, but it's not a completely safe place. Although most of the Salts in Thunder Cliff were working for Mo Yan, there were also many scoundrels who came here. The high salaries of Thunder Cliff make the Salts here much richer than the citizens of other cities, so many people such as thieves are also eyeing this place.
Thunder Cliff is patrolled by monsters every night, and those werewolves who have nighttime vision are like day, so that these robbers will not steal or rob in the dark as they do in other cities. But this doesn't mean that Thunder Cliff is safe, no matter how tight the monster's patrol route is, it is also a route arranged by people, so since it is arranged by people, there will always be dead ends.
Some time ago, there were three burglaries and one burglary murder in the outer city. Therefore, when Aruba left, he would go to say hello to Mo Yan and ask him to take care of Emily, after all, it might take a long time for him to leave Thunder Cliff this time, and the safety of Emily who was alone at home made him a little uneasy.
"Have you been outside my window since the month my brother left?" said Emily, pulling at her silk pajamas in disbelief, "Don't you have to spend time with succubi every night?" ”
"Although those things are interesting. Mo Yan shrugged his shoulders and said, "But I can't do it every night, even if I don't feel tired, but they don't, if they can't get up the next day, you'll have to complain again." Now that there are more and more things going on in Thunder Bluff, I'm already thinking about increasing the number of civilians, and relying on the three of you and a dozen Salts alone is no longer enough to run the entire city. ”
When the population of Thunder Cliff was still small at the beginning, everything in Thunder Cliff was mostly taken care of by Lilith and Vivian, and later because of their vigilance, Mo Yan asked Emily to join them. But with the increasing population of Thunder Cliff, as well as the continuous expansion and increase of the industry, it is completely impossible to rely on only three people.
All Mo Yan recruited some Salts as clerks, and after a certain amount of training, let them help deal with official documents, all of whom had families in Thunder Cliff and had certain property. And the credit and reputation are very good people in their original city or in Thunder Cliff, so Mo Yan will rest assured that they will be exposed to some regular copywriting reports.
But even this is no longer able to meet the needs of Thunder Cliff, and recently Mo Yan has planned to subdivide the originally unified management structure into several departments to manage various things. The leaders were selected from those who had already had some experience in recruiting the Salts, and although this would make the Salts a little too powerful in the city, there was no other way to do it at the moment.
There will be no management talents in the Central Plains countries of the Hill Continent to run to the dangerous place of Elam. Although the gray dwarves have exquisite skills, they have no special expertise in these aspects, and just the product management of various blacksmith shops has already kept these gray dwarves busy, and it is completely self-defeating for them to deal with complex copywriting.
Although the minds of the Salts are not flexible, at least for now, it is the best choice, who made the location of Thunder Bluff in Elam? The most people here are the Salts.
"In that case, why did you show up today?" A breeze blew from the window opened by Mo Yan, causing the candles in the room to flicker, and Emily said as she looked at Mo Yan outside the window.
"I just heard a certain girl lamenting her life, so I couldn't stand it and walked out to say a few words. Mo Yan smiled and said, "If you are worried that this wedding will affect your future, it is too late to regret it now, everything can be changed." You don't need to make yourself suffer for the sake of strangers you don't know at all, do you? ”
"Can I still be called a girl?" Hearing Mo Yan's words, Emily suddenly laughed and said, "At my age, other people's children can already play at home. ”
"That's just a difference of opinion. Mo Yan looked at Emily's healthy and smooth wheat-colored skin, tight neck, and faintly exposed pajamas' beautiful curved calves and nodded in confirmation: "At least in my opinion, twenty-one years old is still a very young age, and people here are a little too early to get married." ”
"Yes. Emily was noncommittal to Mo Yan's words, she straightened her short blonde hair, curled up on the bed and sighed and said, "I don't regret my choice, although I'm scared, I don't regret it." I already know that you are prepared to do that, so I can't allow that to happen.
I also knew that intermarriage with the Salts was the quickest way to join the Salts, but I couldn't bear to see the intact family destroyed in front of me, just to give Thunder Bluff a reason to intervene. I may seem hypocritical to say this, but this is my inner thought, whether I recognize the strange girl who was not chosen, I don't care if I will be thanked and rewarded, because it will calm my mind. ”
That's not hypocrisy. Hearing Emily's words, Mo Yan shook his head and said, "Although I have seen countless conspiracies and betrayals, sons betray their fathers, cheating wives kill their husbands, and power-hungry men give their daughters to their bosses who are older than themselves.
But this does not mean that there is no goodness in the world, and your goodness is not the hypocrisy you claim. Trust me, I can tell the difference. ”
"Thank you. Emily whispered.
"It's getting late. Mo Yan looked up at the moon that had climbed high in the sky and said, "You rest early, I'll leave first." With that, Mo Yan closed Emily's window and left the window, walking towards his residence, leaving Emily huddled on the bed with her knees huddled and not knowing what she was thinking.

Time passed quickly, and the envoys from the other cities had already checked into the inns in the city. Today, the streets of Thunder Bluff are decorated with colorful ribbons, baskets of wildflowers, and signs on the roadside announcing the start time of the wedding. Everyone in the Thunder Cliff knows that today is the wedding day,
In the garden in front of the unfinished White House, a large number of long tables covered with white spider silk tablecloths have been set up. All the Salts who can cook in Thunder Blube had already received orders yesterday for the ingredients used to make the food, as well as the food that needed to be made. During the wedding banquet this evening, the table in the garden in front of the White House will be filled with a variety of foods.
And now Mo Yan is preparing for the wedding, and in tonight's ceremony, he will wear the armor that he thinks is the most powerful, and hold the sharpest weapon to show his strength and courage to the guests attending the banquet according to the wedding customs of the Salt people.
Only after the guests have approved of him will they give a blessing and sign their names on a special piece of parchment to prove the existence of the marriage. All married Salts had one such piece of parchment to prove that their marriage was accepted by the public.
At the same time, the man who marries at the same time has to accept the challenge of the disobedient, and if the challenger cannot be defeated, then the wedding will also end in failure. However, generally speaking, such a situation will not occur, after all, two people can get married, which is already recognized by most people.
Mo Yan had already thought about tonight's shape, and he asked the gray dwarf to create an all-steel armor. This set of armor was created by Mo Yan according to the shape made in some games, although the practical effect is not great, but it looks very imposing. The spikes in the crooks of the arms and the shoulders, and the heavy shape.
It made Mo Yan look like he had a full destructive force, and his weapon was also a huge battle axe made of all-steel. Even if it is placed on the ground, it can crack the floor, and the battle axe, which has the heavy style of the gray dwarf, is not as powerful as armor, but even then it can be considered a great killing weapon.
Mo Yan, who was wearing this set, could shake the stones on the ground just by walking, making a lot of roaring sounds. This set of equipment has exceeded one hundred and fifty kilograms, and with Mo Yan's own weight, he can almost be regarded as a humanoid roller.
And Ruiz used some magic tricks on the armor and weapons, making them glow with some shimmers and look like magical equipment. And Ruiz also has some complaints about the delay in getting magic materials, after all, he has already got a lot of good ideas from Thunder Cliff, and he desperately needs to turn his ideas into reality.
"I feel like I'm already superpowered. Mo Yan stood in front of Jones's mirror made of water, looked at his domineering self and said with a smile.
