98 Chapter Ninety-Eight

A group of practitioners were already excited, and when they saw William Lin Shixun, the culprit son, they suddenly had a place to vent, and they immediately disclosed what the city lord of Marchi had done. When William heard this, his eyes went black and he almost fainted, and asked in disbelief, "Is this true......?" Where is he? I'm going to ask!"

"Your father is in the study, and he ordered that he should not see anyone!" Hudson did not speak just now, and then he spoke, and his tone was very dissatisfied.

It was the big-nosed old man with the most temper, and when he saw William's devastated look, he first eased his attitude and said, "You have been away all year round, and I can't blame you for this kind of thing." I'm going to go with Hudson and you to see your father, and when the time comes, he can't help but hide and evade responsibility, and I have to give everyone an explanation!"

"Okay! let's go together!" Hudson nodded in agreement, and then said to Moeller and them, "Everyone, please wait, we will definitely ask the Lord of Marshall to come up with a workable solution!"

Although Marc is a count and noble, and the lord of a city, it can be said that he is a high power, but Hudson and the old man with the big nose are high-level enchanters, and they have a high reputation in Pamore City, and in terms of status alone, they are not much lower than Marchiel, so they dare to put pressure on the city lord at this time, and the other spellers also have confidence in them and are willing to wait for the outcome of the matter for the time being.

Moeller watched the two old men leave with William, who was a little staggering, and thought to himself that no matter what solution they came up with, the magic materials for war would definitely be in short supply, so it would be best for him to go to the magic dealer in the Kingdom of Polo first to buy a batch of materials needed for the battle while others were not paying attention.

"Well, it's unthinkable!" said Pace as he walked up to Moeller and sighed.

Moeller nodded and said, "Yes, maybe it's because this city has been peaceful for a hundred years and hasn't experienced war, so even the city lord is slacking off." After speaking, Moeller looked at Pace again and asked seriously: "Speaking of which, I am very concerned about the attitude of your four-element mercenary group in this war, after all, you are all noble children from the royal city." ”

"I think my attitude was made clear in the battle just now, Mr. Moller. Pace said to Moeller with a smile.

Moeller nodded and said, "Mr. Pace is indeed trustworthy, but can your attitude speak for others?"

Pace Wen took out a small silver magic communicator from his pocket, shook it at Moeller and said, "I have already discussed with ~~~~ them just now, the three of them will stay in the City Lord's Mansion to protect Lady Milian, and since I have already made a move, there is no need to give up halfway, I will participate in the next battle!"

Moeller thought about it, ~~~ It is not surprising that they chose to protect Lady Millen, firstly, they fulfilled their duties as a guard, and secondly, they could also use the influence of Duke Norton to protect themselves in this war. But Pace's choice to participate in the war to protect the city of Palmour, which has nothing to do with him, made Moller a little puzzled, not to mention the danger of war, wouldn't his family in the royal city be affected by his actions?

So Moeller said, "I understand their choice, but what you did in Pace makes me a little puzzled!"

"You're such an interesting person. Pace looked at Moller with a smile, and then said helplessly, "Well, in order not to be suspected by you, it seems that I have to give a plausible reason." ”

Saying that, he said in a very flat tone: "Because I have broken away from my own family, strictly speaking, I am no longer a nobleman, so I can make a choice according to my own wishes." ”

"Uh, I'm sorry......" Moeller said, a little embarrassed. For a nobleman, it is very strict to break away from the family, and many people would rather die than lose their noble status. So when he suddenly heard such news, he didn't know what to say.

However, Pace smiled easily and said: "The small family has the benefits of a small family, as long as you have a little strength, you can break free from the shackles, unlike ~~~ them, even if they become high-level powerhouses, they have to compromise in front of the power of the family, it's really pitiful, haha!"

"Pace, are you out of the family?" Uruti's voice came from behind him, and he saw the mercenary walking over with a javelin, shocked by the news he overheard: "Are you already ...... Have you fulfilled your wish?"

Pace showed a big smile to Uruti who took the initiative to talk to him, and at the same time pressed down his palm, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I didn't kill my father, I was going to do it in two years, but he was unlucky, offended someone who shouldn't be offended, and died unexpectedly." I just quit the family and let the other party swallow up the family's property!"

Urruti looked at Pace speechlessly for a moment, as if to confirm the truth of his words from his watch, and then suddenly laughed and said, "That's really congratulations, Pace." ”

Ahem! Someone else died, Dad, you are still congratulating! Moeller almost choked on his own saliva because of Urruti's fierce words.

However, Pace happily accepted the congratulations, and turned his head to see Moller's stunned face, so he took the initiative to tell Moller his story with a bitter face.

It turned out that Pace's father was a viscount of the royal city, who was in bankruptcy at one point when he was young, and survived by marrying a wealthy merchant who envied his aristocratic status and getting a rich dowry.

The daughter of a wealthy merchant is the mother of Pace, and like all old-fashioned and humane stories, the noble viscount begins to dislike his lowly wife after surviving the financial crisis, ostensibly playing the role of a considerate husband, but secretly giving his wife chronic poison, making her gradually weak and sick, so as to achieve the goal of justifying her death.

However, due to the constant purchase of precious life-saving potions by his wealthy businessman's father-in-law, the Viscount did not immediately get his wish, and the Viscountess lived for an additional seven years, during which time Pace was born and grew to the age of six. The Viscountess, who did not learn the truth by chance until before her death, entrusted her son to her father and died with hatred, while the young Pace, who had already remembered, vowed to kill his father to avenge his mother......

Moeller still didn't know what to say after listening to the story, the bitter and hateful expression was really not suitable for Pace's natural smiling face, which made people a little confused about the truth and falsehood, and he was also very puzzled why Pace told this kind of ** thing to him, a person who had only known him for a short time.

Urruti shook his head on the side, and cleared his doubts: "This guy Pace, every time he meets a new friend, he will tell him about it, saying that he wants to spread the ugly face of that viscount to the public......"

"That's not right!" Pace shook an index finger at Urruti and said, "Now that he is dead, I will tell this story again, just to remember my mother~"

Moeller looked at this excellent magic archer and felt that although he had a rough experience, he did not have the slightest decadent and gloomy temperament, but the whole person was full of vitality, so even if he acted a little strangely, he was not annoying, but felt that he was a true character worth befriending.

The three Hudsons didn't make everyone wait long, and after a conversation with Moeller, they came out. The two old men looked very relaxed, but William's face was heavy. Hudson then showed the crowd a scroll with the signature of Lord Marchir and a special magic mark.

"The city lord of Marchir has signed a document jiàn, and William Lin Shixun, the son of the city lord, will temporarily assume the responsibilities of the city lord and have full authority to handle the affairs of the city!"

Hudson's announcement shocked everyone, but then they took it for granted, and the dereliction of duty by the lord of Marcel had completely lost everyone's trust. At this time, only by changing someone to preside over the overall situation can it be possible to save the current situation.

Under normal circumstances, such an important appointment must be announced by the lord himself in order to be valid, and if someone else does it for him, there is every reason for others to think that the lord has been coerced and therefore not approve of the appointment. However, the Lord of Marchir had just committed a public outrage and put everyone's safety at risk, so no one stood up to speak for him at this time - everyone hoped that William would take control of the situation and solve the current mess!

William, who only saw him with a solemn face, stepped forward and said: "In order to cope with the current situation, I have three decisions to announce to you: First, in order to fill the empty war reserve treasury, I have decided to use the Lin Shixun family's property as collateral to borrow from the weapons shops and magic shops in the city, and be sure to ensure the needs of war preparation!"

William's first decision was spoken, and everyone was shocked, you must know that the Lin Shixun family has been the city lord in Pamore City for a hundred years, and after a hundred years of operation, the family property can be described as extremely rich, and every property is not bought by money on weekdays, and it is also the heritage of the entire Lin Shixun family, I didn't expect William to be willing to take them out as collateral!

However, at the same time of surprise, the hearts of those who were still floating just now suddenly calmed down, even if some people will think that William is a loser in his heart, but they must also admit that this method will definitely be very effective.

Hudson waved everyone to calm down, and William continued: "Second, I will gather all the nobles in the city to collect donations, and at the same time mortgage the valuable artifacts in the city lord's mansion, and exchange them for gold coins as a bounty from the money store, and those who fight bravely will be rewarded!"

This second decision not only showed everyone once again William's determination to support this war at any cost, but also revealed a message - he wanted to control the nobles in the city and prevent them from causing trouble!

After hearing this, many people nodded secretly, thinking that this young man was not only a loser, but also had a lot of skills, much stronger than his father.

"Third!" William looked around at the people in front of him and continued: "There are still a lot of magic items in the City Lord's Mansion, which do not belong to the battle reserve treasury, but the treasures of the Lin Shixun family, and this battle will be taken out as a reward for the merits of the practitioners!"

This last decision immediately ignited everyone's thread. It is impossible for a hundred-year-old earl's family to treasure magic items that are not precious! they must be high-end goods that are rarely seen in ordinary times, and getting one of them can make them greatly strengthened!

"Now I would like to give you a general list of these magical items. William shook off a piece of parchment as he spoke, pronounced out a string of names, and ignited everyone's thoughts again: "The 9th level magic items are: a book of cultivation, a small magic airship, a golden elephant giant sword, and the 8th level magic items are: a bottle of regeneration potion, 5 bottles of magic enhancement potion, 1o bottle of antidote, one magic wand of elemental, one transformation faction, and one magic wand of life faction, one red crystal armor, 2 magic bows and crossbows, 3 magic swords, 5 magic shields, 21 magic crystals of all kinds, and ...... of 7th level magic items."

A series of names that made all the practitioners blush and their hearts beat from William's mouth, and many of those who had been a little panicked about the coming big war had begun to look forward to it.

"It's really a man who dies for money, and a bird dies for food!" Now that he was also aroused by the greed in his heart, Moller couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, I saw William announce loudly again: "In the defensive battle just experienced, there are many people who have made outstanding contributions, in order to better meet the next battle, I will now fulfill my promise and reward them!"
