Chapter 8: The Banquet
Presumably, Dafan's recent situation will definitely not be very good, on the one hand, Dafan's inability to dispatch must be the core instability, and he must sit at home.
On the other hand, he had to get rid of his subordinates and come to a remote village and town that was not famous to repair the mage tower for an unknown mage sect, just because he had a lot of money.
Is this what it feels like to be "hunted", open your mouth, and there will be merchants who you have known for less than a day and directly send the mage tower for nothing.
The real working masses of the Defia Brotherhood had to divide their troops to sell coolies when they were facing a crisis.
"You've got a big surprise for me, Bagnar, you've proven your abilities with your actions, and I'm more and more eager to see how you run my Mage Tower."
If the business blows to each other, the boast is over.
"Come out for a walk with me, I've only been through so much on my first day in Yuanwang Town, and I haven't done a good job yet."
With that, Hua Xi got up and walked outside, and Bagnar and Ray followed.
Passing by a carpentry workshop specializing in making oars, Hua Xi and the master carpenter were gesturing and drawing.
For two coppers, for the price of a paddle, a master carpenter sharpened a short baseball bat and painted it pink.
Looking at the opposite shore from the riverside pier, it has been leveled out to look like a pier.
The stones were taken down from the boat and piled on the shore, and then rolled all the way up the mountain by the people in wood.
"Are so many people homeless?" Hua Xi looked at the people on the other side.
Bagnar sighed: "Alas, all the refugees from the west have been given two meals a day, one dry and one thin, plus a copper, and the refugees who heard the news want to do it."
I picked some ones that were in better physical condition, and there were still many people begging to do it. ”
The same two coppers, in Bloomage, this is the money spent casually, and in the carpenter's master, it is the reward for making a good oar, for the refugees, it is indeed a day of blood and sweat.
"Where are so many displaced people?" Although I heard that it was made into a pot of porridge from Bian Wuwu, I still didn't understand the situation.
"From here to the southwest, past a few towns, there is a great battlefield between several schools and sects.
It has been completely defeated, and it is said that several towns have been completely destroyed. In the nearby mountains and forests, there are either displaced people or defeated soldiers.
But if you send a small caravan to the surrounding towns with food now, it will bring you a lot of wealth, you see? ”
Bagnar is very keen on this kind of blood-drinking business that can make a lot of money, and he has to die of distress if he doesn't do this kind of business that collects money.
Similarly, for Bloomage, this is a different world, and the ruin of the country has nothing to do with himself?
"It's up to you to decide what to do." Bloomage knows that it is impossible for a person to compete with an era.
A feudal era that has just walked from slavery in the mythical era to feudal statehood, pushing the giant wheel of the times to move forward, can be regarded as Huaxi can enter the collection of fierce men of Little John Khan.
"Let Ray go, you have to show me his strength." Bloomage made its own request.
"Follow your will." Bagnar waved his hand at Ray, telling him to prepare the caravan and set off.
"That's all for today, there's a welcome banquet in the evening, I'll go back and rest." Bloomage wants to take a good rest.
……
Perhaps for normal people, if they can make full use of the time in their sleep, they will definitely seize every moment and not waste a second.
It's a pity that Bloomage just came and started to be lazy the next day. Sleep in the house in the name of meditation.
"Are you there, Warrior?" Luo Lanyin's voice came from outside the door, and she knocked on the door.
"The banquet is about to start, everyone is here."
Hua Xi came to the hall neatly dressed and found that there were not a few people invited to the banquet in the evening, and the people who attended the meeting should be important people in Yuanwang Town.
Dressed in armor, Eva arranges the city's defenses and recruits new recruits with Poppy, Linda, and a woman with a staff on her back.
The stupid knight is coaxing the little princess riding a big white dog to eat colored peppers, and the little princess buries her face in the dog's long hair and refuses to come out.
Taishilan was talking to the two orcs, recording something in his scroll.
Bagnar is introducing Roland to how to make a lot of money from the war in the west, hoping that Roland will also come to join in.
I didn't see Lei follow, I should have gone out with the caravan.
Seeing Bloomy's arrival, everyone got up to welcome, and Eva, as the representative of the host, introduced three unknown people to Bloomage.
They are the military doctor blood mage Karina, the werewolf James Harrington, the sheep swordsman "Minion" Rey, and the underage "Guardian Wolf" White Beast.
The Blood Mage Karina has been stationed at the Jiangxin Island Militia Regiment, helping Linda train new recruits.
I often like to pretend to be a trick on recruits.,But it's always the timid Bobbi who gets teased.。
Werewolf James Harrington went directly to a large town near Yuanwang through the mage portal and came directly by boat.
In the afternoon, I arrived at the wharf, and as soon as I docked, I went directly to the construction site, highlighting a vigorous and resolute line.
"Isn't this James Harrington the Heartbreaker General! Don't think I can't see it!
It's a mine of death! Could it be that it is really a failed attempt to get paid? Hua Xi complained wildly in his heart.
Bagnar found that the construction efficiency had improved significantly, and the original temporary pier had been paved with stone bricks, and rushed to the site to find that he had arrived a day earlier, so he invited him to the banquet.
Rey was once the leader of Canterbury's largest group of pure orc mercenaries, the Minions, who fought with Eva against foreign invasions and now forges weapons in Far Look.
Seeing that a werewolf came to Yuanwang Town, he wanted to recruit into the mercenary group, but he didn't expect it to be the architect of the Defia Brotherhood, and he also came to participate in the banquet by the way.
The white beast was unfortunately separated from the mother beast due to escape from the war, and was rescued by Eva, who protected the retreat of the masses, and was raised by the little princess as a "big dog".
It wasn't until Rey saw it that he knew that this was the legendary wilderness demigod "Guardian Wolf", but he was still ridden as a dog by the little princess, and he usually trained in the militia regiment.
The scale of the banquet was relatively small, just on the first floor of the hotel, and after introducing each other, they began to eat and drink, in fact, each person only had a plate of grilled meat, some vegetables, and a large glass of what seemed to be a juice drink.
Everyone had a good time, except for the little princess who wanted to eat bell peppers.
At the banquet, Bloom Hee found Eva and prepared to ventilate with the upcoming players.
"In other words, the group of apprentices under your door are a little too enthusiastic, and they always like to find some horns and corners, and they like to chase people and ask questions?"
Eva looked puzzled, "Isn't it good to go directly to the Viewer's Hall?" ”
Hua Xi put his hand on his forehead: "I will teach them to use the audience hall flexibly."
You treat them as if they were all poisoned by knightly novels, and that's how they found me when I broke through as a mage as the youngest.
I think I'm the chosen one, and I have some peerless chance......"
It's really impossible to determine what the players can do, so they can only say that they will give Eva a vaccination in advance.
So the black-hearted Bloom described the players as idiots who don't do good things, work every day, and are brainwashed by the actual novel.
"If they do something illegal or criminal, don't be merciful! I will bear the compensation for the illegal losses caused.
For those who dare to commit crimes in the city, they are no longer ordinary bad people, and they must strike hard! ”
If someone really prepares a real punishment, Hua Xi will let him know what it means to be a place outside the law that the other world is not a place outside the law.
Unless that person is prepared to never sleep, as long as he is asleep, he can take care of him well.
Poppy smiled and said, "I have also told the city defense army, and the mages who belong to the Dharma Alliance will no longer collect the city entry tax.
At first, I was worried about whether law enforcement would clash with you, but it seems that His Excellency Medivan is still very open-minded. ”
"Can I play tricks on them, then? Rest assured, it's going to be fine. ”
Karina turned her head and said, "Listening to your words, it seems to be a group of lively fresh blood." ”
"Of course, please step up!" Maybe that group of players was tricked, and they thought there was a side plot.
"Actually, this group of apprentices who have been brainwashed by novels, if they are used well on the battlefield, it is quite cute." Poppy said with a smile.
After ending the conversation with the representative of the armed forces of Yuanwang Town, Hua Xi took the baseball bat prepared in the afternoon and came to the little princess's side.
Maybe this is the "administrative representative" of Yuanwang Town? After all, the "head of state" is still losing his temper here.
The little princess is eating peppers angrily, Rey is combing the white beast, and the stupid knight is working hard to cook in his free time.
"To you, Canterbury's little princess, I hope you can grow up happy and happy, and bring a better tomorrow to the people who follow you." Hua Xi handed over the baseball bat.
"Thank you, Your Excellency Medivan, I love your gift!" Take this opportunity to quickly push the pepper to her guardian knight.
Happily waving a pink baseball bat, "I'm going to call you 'AKA Window Breaker'!" ”
"Our little princess hums love, don't you huh?" Rey raised his head and looked at the little princess with a gentle expression.
"Listen to your accent is ......" Sichuanese? Bloomage is hard to say.
"What's wrong, what's wrong with an accent, do you think everyone is a mage like you?" Rey glanced at it and said disdainfully.
"No, it just sounds a little kind, I have a friend who is ...... Mianyang." Hua Xi suddenly found that he had leaked his mouth.
There is a small restaurant downstairs in the dormitory that sells Sichuan cuisine, and sometimes there is no food in the canteen on weekends and I don't want to cook, so I go to that restaurant to eat, and I get acquainted with the boss after eating for a long time.
The owner of the restaurant is from Mianyang, his wife and he are college classmates, and the boss pursues love and came to this small county town with her to open a small restaurant.
"Sheep people? Oh, I'm also a sheep man, why don't you call your friends to come and play together! Rey heard the news of his people, and his eyes lit up.
"Next time, next time." Hua Xi waved his hand, not wanting to be tortured by this homophonic stalk anymore.
