Chapter 67: The Young Man of the Poopstein Family
Hanging up the communication, Mayor Sench's face changed again and again, and the butler on the side cautiously approached and handed over a clean handkerchief.
Mayor Snicky took it, wiped the inconspicuous sweat on his forehead, and breathed a long sigh of relief, he looked very calm when facing Miss Lucy, but at the bottom of his heart he was very nervous.
After all, the Pobelstein family was still a "guest" in his house, and if Miss Lucy showed any dissatisfaction, he would have to bleed again.
Although Miss Lucy left Marco and the others at the Soul Farm in the end, they were not as important to Mayor Snch as a few hundred gold coins.
"Master, it's solved?" The butler watched Mayor Sench's expression stabilize and not be too ugly, and then asked.
"Solved." Mayor Skench nodded, thinking of the 100,000 gold coins, and a painful expression appeared on his face.
Even if the 100,000 gold coins didn't break his bones, it was not a small amount after all.
I didn't get the expected benefits, and I gave away 100,000 gold coins, which was really a loss.
"Marco of waste." Mayor Skench scolded viciously, although he knew in his heart that Marco couldn't be blamed for this matter, he still had to scold a few words to vent his anger.
The Pobelstein family had already arrived at Mayor Sench a few days earlier, but he had not taken the initiative to deliver the news to Marco on the grounds that the communication elemental magic weapon could only be activated once every five days.
In fact, he wanted to bet on the possibility of "cooked rice" - Marco didn't know what was going on here, and he would definitely count Miss Lucy according to the previous order.
If the calculation succeeds and Marco takes Miss Lucy, then even if the Pobelstein family is here, Mayor Snch will have the confidence to negotiate.
Even if he doesn't get a bite from the Spirit Farm as expected and share the bulk of the benefits, Mayor Snch can come up and take a sip of soup.
It's a pity that Miss Lucy is not a good one, and directly controlled Marco and them in the spirit farm, obviously not afraid of his methods.
It's no wonder that when the Lorlett family left, she dared to stay and inherit one of the family's abandoned farms.
Yes, the Prison Farm is actually an abandoned farm, but not a completely abandoned one.
The main reason is that the previous owner of the farm, "Mrs. Charlotte", did not choose an heir in time during the period from illness to death, and she must not be able to recuperate on the farm and return to the family, so most of the manpower on the farm was brought back to the family by her.
Only a small part of the farm was left to maintain the basic operation of the farm, such as growing grain, but in the absence of the owner, the grain could only be piled up in the warehouse, and could not be sold without permission, and could not be processed into other things.
Mayor Sench is actually interested in the old grain piled up in the Spirit Farm for such a long time, with the farm's elemental magic circle, the grain produced in at least ten years can ensure the quality, and it can be sold as new grain.
As for the farmland that has not been harvested at the Spirit Farm this year, in terms of value alone, it will not make Mayor Senki's eyes red to this point.
But this news, in fact, only Mayor Skench can have some guesses, after all, the location of the Soul Farm is within the jurisdiction of Crowk Town, and it has been sold through Crowk Town in the past.
The most important thing is that every month in Crowk Town, a patrol team of members passes by the Spiritual Farm, and it must be the most aware of the changes in the Spiritual Farm, and it is normal to analyze what information is used to analyze it.
It was also because he had been paying attention to the Soul Farm that Mayor Snicky was able to make a calculation immediately after Miss Lucy appeared, and he didn't know how long he had been waiting for this opportunity.
Of course, what really made Mayor Snch willing to take the gamble was the departure of the Lorlett family, the news that Miss Lucy had an accident on the road, and the fact that he found that this was the best opportunity to start.
"Go, send the news." Waving at the butler, Mayor Snicky leaned back in his chair, slightly tired.
Part of the reason for this failure was that he didn't dare to tear his face, he only dared to use this method that would not hurt his muscles and bones even if he was exposed, and if he was willing to make a bigger bet, this calculation might have succeeded.
It's just that, thinking of the young man from the Pobelstein family, Mayor Sench sighed again, if he really did that, I'm afraid it wouldn't be a hundred thousand gold coins now.
The Crowk family has been able to stand until now, relying on this caution, maybe the mouth is not open enough and the food is not enough, but when it chokes, it will not be too uncomfortable, and it will not kill directly.
"Wait, there's still the 100,000 gold coins." Calling the butler who was about to leave the room, Mayor Snicky added.
100,000 gold coins...... Tsk, my heart hurts.
——
"Puff"
As soon as the figure on the disc disappeared, Lu Xi saw Anne holding the disc suddenly fall, her face was exactly the same as the male low-level elemental mage next to her.
Looking at Lu Xi's gaze, Marco took two steps forward and explained for Lu Xi in a loud voice.
"The communication elemental magic weapon can only be activated once every five days, and every time you use it, you need to consume a lot of elemental power, and the elemental power stored before the communication elemental magic weapon is not enough, in order to avoid the communication being disconnected, the two of them use their own elemental power as a supplement, and they have been maintaining communication, and they are a little out of strength, and they can be recovered after a rest, you don't have to worry too much about them, Miss Lucy."
He also heard what Mayor Snick had just said, and knew that he would have to earn a living under this Miss Lucy for some time to come, and his attitude changed quite quickly.
There is no arrogance at all that an intermediate elemental warrior should have.
Mayor Snick had already talked to Miss Lucy about a lot of things before he arrived, and Marco knew that although the Rollelt family could no longer provide Miss Lucy with any help, there was still the Pobelstein family behind her.
Don't look at the Popperstein family is not as famous as the Rollert family, but the background is not weak at all, but this family is relatively low-key, and the outside world rarely knows the news.
If Miss Lucy had known about her relationship with the Pobelstein family, Mayor Skench would not have had any thoughts that he shouldn't have.
There is no gender difference in the family inheritance of nobles, and it is not even based on the name, anyway, the name can be changed at any time.
For example, if a man from family A and a woman from family B get married and have a child, the family name inherited by the child depends on who is stronger and whose family is stronger, and whose family is stronger, and the child will naturally be named by whose family.
Family A is strong, the child's name is called XX A, if family B becomes strong later, then the child can naturally be changed to XX B, and family B recognizes it, anyway, the child has the blood of family B.
In the same way, if family B is down, but still valuable, then family A may also take the initiative to let the child change his name to so-and-so B, inherit family B, and then wipe family B clean.
The reason why the marriage between the nobles should be "the right family" is that in addition to the exchange of interests and the need to support each other, the fear is that the gap between the rich and the poor is too large, and the weak family is directly annexed, and no one can confirm that their family can prosper forever.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the Popstein family appeared to solve the trouble for Lu Xi, for the nobles, every member of the family is very important - the kind of family members whose parents have status, illegitimate children are not counted.
Clearly, Miss Lucy fits the bill perfectly.
Lu Xi glanced at Marco and was a little amazed at his "knowledge of current affairs", but he didn't care too much about what he said.
One glance at this scene, I guessed it.
The patrol team is patrolling outside, and as the most important elemental mage, it is definitely impossible to use the elemental power to maintain the communication elemental magic weapon, so it can only be that the communication elemental magic weapon itself has a certain amount of elemental power storage, but the stored elemental power can only be used for a few minutes at most, enough to deliver a message.
When Lu Xi came over, it took more than ten minutes on the road, not to mention that before she came, Marco and Mayor Sienqi had been chatting for a long time.
Without the two elemental mages acting as "humanoid power banks", Marco had no other choice.
Knowing that he was the culprit who caused the two elemental mages to become like this, Lu Xi didn't feel guilty at all.
After all, she was the victim!
Lu Xi glanced at the living room, plus Marco, Mayor Senqi had a total of 21 people in line.
Except for the two low-level elemental mages, the remaining 18 people are all low-level elemental warriors.
The ratio of members to this team is obviously unreasonable, normally a patrol team should be a low-level elemental mage, plus four or five low-level elemental warriors, and five or six trainee elemental warriors.
The so-called trainee elemental warriors are people who have not yet succeeded in integrating elemental power into their bodies, but have this talent, but they just need time and experience to accumulate reason, because they have been trained for a period of time, their physical strength is stronger than that of ordinary men, but they can't control elemental power yet.
After all, the task of the patrol team is only to patrol, not a combat team that hunts monsters professionally, so it is normal to add half of the newcomers to the patrol team all year round and cultivate newcomers by the way during the patrol.
When encountering monsters that are beyond their combat ability, the patrol team is tasked with passing on the monster news, not to destroy these monsters, so it is not a problem for the patrol members to be weaker in combat.
This was obviously a team specially formed to target Lu Xi, but at this time, it cheapened Lu Xi.
The things that low-level elemental warriors can do, that must be more than the trainee elemental warriors - now, they are all going to do things for Lu Xi.
"The two of them are resting here, you take someone to clean up the monsters around the farm, is there a problem?" Lu Xi looked at Marco, who was tall but hunched over, and his voice seemed to be smiling.
Marko's body stiffened, not daring to say anything to refute, and nodded again and again, "No problem, of course no problem." ”
Without waiting for Lu Xi to say anything more, Marco had already commanded the people under his command to walk out the door with great interest.
When he walked to the door, Marco subconsciously stopped, raised his hand to confirm that the barrier at the door was no longer there, and then walked out.
Lucy lowered her head again to look at the two low-level elemental mages, and the two of them just collapsed to the ground, their consciousness was still clear, and they did not faint.
"Is there anything else you guys are doing?" Lu Xi asked, she had to make sure that these two people would not die here suddenly.
The two of them shook their heads at the same time, looking weak, which really had no credibility.
However, Lu Xi nodded, and did not doubt them, "Okay, then you two will rest here for a while, and when you can move, you will go to the square of the farm, and go out to the southwest of the door." ”
"When your captain returns, tell him that you will all live with those slaves for the rest of the year."
Arranged a group of elemental mages and elemental warriors to live with slaves, Lu Xi was not weak at all, who let her farm have no place for outsiders to live.
Besides, in her case, Marko was a "captive", and their status was no different from that of slaves.
"Oh yes, your tent or something, I've already rewarded those slaves, you know." Lu Xi turned around and took just two steps, then looked back at the two low-level elemental mages.
The things she sent out, if they were asked to go back, it would be too shameless.
The two low-level elemental mages nodded their heads one after another, and even a little blood appeared on their pale faces.
Lu Xi left without looking back, she turned her head and went to the square first, and told Cross that the hunting team had canceled the task of going out to hunt every day, and it was better to wait for the training to come out.
Then he told Cross about Marco and them, and for a while afterward, Marco had to live with Cross and them, and it was necessary to familiarize himself with the situation in advance.
"Well, Miss Lucy, if they don't come back...... Cross asked hesitantly, Marco is not like they are just slaves, leaving the Spirit Farm, even if Lu Xi wants to chase them, there is no way to recover them.
"They can't leave." Lu Xi is very confident, it's not that she has anything on hand that can control Marco and them, but if Marco runs back to Crowk Town, she doesn't need to say anything, and Mayor Snch will send Marco back as soon as possible.
Unless Marco intends to leave incognito and never return to Crowk again, he won't do anything stupid.
Following Lu Xi's side, at most, he would have been a coolie for a few years, and if he could get Miss Lucy's favor during this period, maybe the treatment would be better than if he returned to Crowk Town.
Marco himself must be able to see that this incident is likely to be an opportunity for him.
After briefly arranging the affairs on Cross's side, Lu Xi stretched his waist and called Xiao Yuan and Mao Hao back later, with the Marco patrol here, there was no need for the two of them to hunt monsters.
Next, concentrate on planting vegetables at home with her, and wait for the harvest season to end.
Lu Xi thought so, but the unexpected appearance was a little unexpected.
"Miss Lucy! Several of the children in the village are gone! ”
Good! Finally this is it!!
