Chapter 25: The Reward
The next morning, Neo arrived early in the main hall of the castle, and sat down on a chair at the end of the hall, with several trays on the table in front of him, covered with cloth, and I don't know what was contained underneath.
Wards led the crowd in. Today, the old butler wore a bow tie and a black formal suit, and his face was full of joy.
Although he had not slept all night, the old butler's body was still straight, and the people who followed Wards in could see that they had not slept all night, and they were all dressed in grand costumes.
Looking at the crowd of people rushing in, Neo smiled and said, "After more than ten years of separation, I finally met everyone again." Presumably everyone didn't sleep last night, Uncle Warwards should have told everyone about the situation, and at this moment, I also have something to say to everyone. ”
Neo paused, stretched out his hand and put his fingers on one hand, a crystal snowflake appeared in the hall out of thin air, and then the phantom of the goddess of ice and snow appeared, and in the faint chanting of the angels, the light of the goddess reflected the hall like a heavenly court, and everyone knelt down
and sang prayers in praise of the goddess.
Neo looked around at the crowd and said, "Maple Grove is your hometown, my hometown, and the place where I was born and raised. It's also a place that my fathers fought for all their lives. You are all my uncles and brothers, and you are all old people who grew up here
It is our common home, and it is our common wish to make our home rich and strong. Now, under the patronage of the Goddess and the protection of our ancestors, let us work together to turn our hometown into a land of abundance. ”
Seeing the crowd's expressions begin to become agitated, Neo continued: "Here, in the name of the goddess of ice and snow, Tyranstoya Van Titian, and in the name of my ancestors, I swear to develop Maple Grove into a place of glory, free, rich, and powerful, as long as you are willing to work with me
I will reward all those who are strong. ”
Speaking of this, Neo looked at the old butler of Warwards: "During this time, Uncle Warworth, Pantanvili, and Hyfeld worked tirelessly to go all the way to Zhuanhua City to pick me up, and followed me to suffer so many crimes, and on the way they also exterminated two groups of bandits, and they were all my maple
The old people of Lin Town, to me, they are the heroes, so today I want to reward them. ”
The three of them hurriedly said: "It's all the efforts of Lord Neo and Brother Hodak, and we are watching from the sidelines, where do we dare to take credit." ”
Neo laughed and didn't answer, but turned his gaze to Pantanvili and Hyfeld, and said, "I said on the way, I'm going to find two suitable exercises for the two of you." ”
As soon as he spoke, Neo lifted the cloth covering the tray in front of him, revealing the two jade pieces underneath.
"Pantanvili, you are an archer, I reward you with the ancient martial art "Flying Feather Jue", Hyferde, you practice marksmanship, and I reward you with the ancient martial art "Dragon Tooth Thorn" spear technique. ”
Neo picked up the jade recipe and handed it to the two of them and said, "Put it away, take a good look at it and practice diligently, and the future breakthrough and improvement are just around the corner." ”
Pantanvelli and Heeffield trembled, uncontrollable with excitement!
Since listening to Neo's words that day, the two of them have been thinking about making contributions to Fenglin Town as soon as possible, so as to get the reward as soon as possible, they didn't expect Neo to be so generous, as soon as they arrived home, they rewarded them with the ancient martial arts skills that the two of them dreamed of.
The two were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked the lord for his generous reward.
Neo pointed to the two Hodak brothers and said, "Brothers, I think everyone knows about it. They are the martial artists of the famous Blood Flame Arena Twelve Zodiac Star Palaces, and they are high-level cultivators who have undergone thousands of tempers, don't look at them as servants who claim to be servants, although they are not maple
The old men of Lin Town, but I also regarded them as my brothers for many years, and in the future, their brothers will be the strong fortress of our Fenglin Town. ”
Everyone applauded and welcomed this. Neo looked at the two: "I also said on the way that I want to find a suitable exercise for the two of you, and I will award it to you today, and I also hope that you will break through the realm and become an extraordinary martial artist as soon as possible." ”
As he spoke, Neo picked up another piece of jade and handed it to the two, saying, "You are twin brothers, and you have fought together for many years, and you have a tacit understanding with each other. So I found a technique for the two of you. This technique is also a very rare inheritance among ancient martial arts, and it is called
"Mirror", the mirror of the mirror, as the name suggests, when two people are against the enemy, no matter what kind of martial arts one person uses in the battle, the other person can perform at the same time, as if a person is acting in the mirror, and the person in the mirror can make the same action at the same time, every minute
Not bad. This is only the level of cooperation required at the initial stage, the same movements are only the appearance, and the inner aura operation and martial arts are the key to this martial art. This requires the two of you to be in the same mind, as one person. This exercise is extremely difficult to practice, and after practice, it is very powerful.
It is really comparable to thousands of troops, and it is far from being as simple as one plus one is greater than two. ”
The two said in unison: "I will live up to the trust!" ”
Neo looked at Warwards again and said, "Uncle Warwards is not a cultivator, I also told him, and after I met the Pope, I canonized him as a baron. Uncle Wauwards, the baron is just another starting point in your life, and it is not impossible for you to be crowned a marquis in the future. Again, Roy
Uncle De, Uncle Bloomberg, and Uncle Musing, you are also my elders, and I am also the patriarch of Maple Grove. I also promise you here that in the future, if our Fenglin Town will develop and expand its territory, you will need to make a lot of efforts, as long as it is due to Fenglin Town, I
We will not skimp on rewards. ”
As the patron of the goddess, Neo made such a promise to his subordinates. When the three elders of the town heard Neo say this, the three of them looked at each other, and the enthusiasm in their chests was ignited.
Neo continued: "Uncle Warwards, from now on, I will leave some affairs of Maple Grove Town to you, and the housekeeping will be left to others. ”
Wards smiled so hard that his mouth couldn't close his mouth: "Let the three old guys handle the affairs of the town first, and when Maple Grove Town develops in the future, there are more things, I will help, now I am not a baron, and I don't worry about handing over these housework to others." Everyone laughed
Come.
Neo turned his gaze to Lloyd and said, "Uncle Lloyd, you are the tax collector of our Maple Grove Town, and you are also the God of Wealth for all of us, and you know the finances of Maple Grove Town best. Over the years, my father has repeatedly raised the town's taxes for the sake of my studies in Lianhua City
I have suffered the people here, and I have suffered you. Now that we have money, I will compensate you and my people. From now on, the salaries of your officers will be increased by two silver coins per month, and the salaries of ordinary staff will be increased by one silver coin per month. As for the people of Maple Grove. ”
Speaking of which, Neo looked at the town's sheriff, Bloomberg, and said, "Go and gather all the lords tomorrow, I have something to say to them." ”
Neo was methodical and progressed step by step according to his plan. Everyone in Maple Grove Town heard it as a vain, and seeing is believing, and last night I watched the process of Neo's Ten Prisons Reincarnation Battle at Warworth's house, and heard about the deeds of Neo, the young lord, from Wards and others
I was a little excited, but I still had the idea of waiting and seeing. Today, seeing Neo do things in a calm and calm manner, not forgetting the old feelings, everyone's hearts are more confident, and for the first time, everyone has begun to have hope for the prospects of this remote town of Fenglin Town, and also has more expectations for their own future
Expect.
Especially the two old men, Bloomberg and Musin, Bloomberg is the sheriff of the town, in charge of the town's security, defense and other things, Musin is the town's internal affairs officer, there are not many things in the town, he is mainly responsible for farming and some of the town's residents' daily chores. They are not
Cultivators, but they are also old men who have followed Neo's father since they were teenagers, and with their loyalty to Neo's father, they have become the managers of the town step by step.
Neo's father, Brinton Anderson, was just a baron, and both of them thought that the management of the town was the pinnacle of their lives. Becoming a nobleman was something they had never thought about, but just now they saw Neo make a promise in public, and Wardworth, who is also the patriarch of Maple Grove
Ironclad to become a baron, and listening to Neo's words, if he can make a contribution in the future, he can be promoted.
Neo's words stirred up unprecedented ambition in the hearts of the two. Become a nobleman! Maybe it can be realized, and the two of them coincidentally had such an idea in their hearts.
Neo said, "Uncle Taylor, Pierre, as cultivators, I treat you two equally, as long as you make contributions to Maple Grove Town, I will also reward you with resources such as exercises and secret medicines to help you improve your cultivation." Of course, Uncle Taylor is so old and in the town
Old man, I don't ask him to go to the battlefield to fight, as long as he can contribute to the town, it will be a credit in my opinion. Pipsqueak,"
Neo called out the tired name of his childhood playmate: "I pay attention, our resources in Maple Forest Town are too small, so your cultivation foundation is too thin, and I am also ready to find a good exercise for you, and I also look forward to us working together to realize our childhood dream and go to the battlefield together to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions." ”
Pierre's heart warmed, and his childhood companion was not estranged because of the change in status, which made Pierre's confidence greatly increased, and he smiled: "I haven't forgotten, as long as I have the right cultivation resources, it's strange if I don't catch up with you." ”
Lloyd's gaze at his son was also full of encouragement. Everyone in the town is different, and Neo makes a promise about everyone's situation to put everyone at ease.
Neo continued, "Here I would like to ask Uncle Taylor to visit Frostmoon City for me, and tell him that I have returned, and that I will visit him myself when this time is over." ”
