Ivory Island in April is warm and cozy, making you want to sleep in, the pale golden sun is shining in the sky, and in the endless emerald green grape fields, a few sparrows are chirping and jumping, pecking at the rice grains that come from nowhere, and then ......

Well, then, they're roasted!

On the homemade grill next to the grape field, Lin Taiping turned a few skewers of sparrows roasted until golden brown, sprinkling pepper and various spices on them from time to time, Christine and Yege were in charge of serving the plates, Tulu and Instein the pig opened their mouths very neatly, and saliva flowed out like a waterfall.

What a beautiful afternoon, more than a month has passed since the battle on Blackreef, and all the problems have been resolved, and it has gone more smoothly than expected—

Under the "wise" leadership of Speaker Federer, the expeditionary fleet fought a great battle and wiped out the pirate groups that ravaged the Horn Seas, and with this incredible feat, Speaker Federer once again became the Supreme Speaker of Ivory Island in the recent general election......

Well, it is said, it is just said, it is said that on the night of his election, Speaker Federer pulled someone with tears in his eyes, drank twelve bottles of red wine, and then cried and shouted that he wanted to marry his daughter.

Ahem, the above is pure rumor, but after Speaker Federer officially took office, he immediately announced the crime of the Marquis of Grandet, and deprived the Marquis of all his property and handed it over to Christine, who actually inherited the family...... As for the Marquis of Grande himself, this guy's luck was really bad enough, and he actually went directly to see the sea god in the first shot of the Blood Demon that night.

Speaking of the Blood Demon, the most terrifying battleship in the Horn Sea has now become Lin Taiping's private yacht, mainly used for going out to sea for a ride and sunbathing, but this battleship has experienced that storm. The damage was severe, so it would take a lot of money and months to actually repair it.

According to Christine's plan, after the real repair of the Blood Demon is completed, two more large warships and dozens of small and medium-sized warships will be purchased, so that even if the private armed fleet is roughly completed, it will ensure that Lin Taiping can walk sideways in the Horn Sea, and there is no problem in trade and transportation adventures and battles, and he will grab the ship when he sees which chick is beautiful...... Well, just thinking about it.

Of course. It costs money to repair the Blood Demon and money to buy a large warship, and in the final analysis, it costs a lot of money, but fortunately, the operation of the night club and the publishing house is very good, and after having the hard-working Mr. Cohen, Lin Taiping spent some time and made a little improvement to these industries-

The Ivory Evening News, which first appeared, has now been re-split into three parts, namely the Ivory Daily, the Ivory Business Daily, and the Ivory Evening News. The three newspapers had different emphases and overall sales were very good, which led to a steady increase in advertising prices.

On the other hand, the sales of Men's Wear magazine have been steadily rising. Promoted by the merchants, the magazine has been distributed to the fringe islands of the Horn Sea, and it is said that it will go out of the Horn Sea to the world, in the ambitious words of the agents - "We want to make 'men's clothing' where there are men".

Obviously. This is very unfair to female readers, so in line with the principle of female friends, Lin Taiping has launched several new magazines. For example, "Fashion Circle" for aristocratic ladies, "Mommy Baby" for mothers, and "Fortune" for businessmen, although the total sales of these magazines are not as good as "Men's Clothing", but the accumulated profits are also quite a lot.

In addition, it must be mentioned that the rapid development of publishing houses, in just a few months, hundreds of works have been put on the market, including novels, economics, education, health care, entertainment, life, under the full operation of those booksellers, these works have triggered a reading boom as soon as they are listed, and they have to be reprinted three times......

"So, overall, we're in a good situation now?" As he spoke, a few skewers of roasted sparrows were almost over, Lin Taiping nodded with satisfaction, and Tulu and Instein Pig next to him immediately rushed forward and began to start a vigorous battle.

"Yes, a qiē is very smooth. Night Song shook her pointed ears very happily, but suddenly laughed and groaned, "One more thing, after more than a month of our hospitality, that Mr. Clown seems to have gained a whole circle...... Honey, maybe it's time for you to go and see him?"

Good idea, Lin Taiping put down the kebab in his hand, looked at Christine and Tulu and Instein Pig beside him, and under Christine's expectant gaze, he finally stood up lazily: "Okay, I just want to exercise and digest it after dinner, why don't we go and see it now?"

Ten minutes later, in the underground cell of the manor, Lin Taiping saw the clown very happily, just like Ye Ge said, this pirate leader really gained a whole circle, more precisely, the whole person was swollen, his face was pale and confused, and he would cover his ears nervously from time to time, shaking and shaking like cramps.

In fact, the moment he saw Lin Taiping, the clown directly pounced on him with tears in his eyes, hugged his thighs and didn't let go, almost choked and screamed: "Please, please, for the sake of the gods, give me a good time, don't let those dark elves and minotaurs torture me anymore." ”

"Calm, calm. Lin Taiping touched his chin speechlessly, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ye Ge, "What, can I ask, what did you do to him, should you really come to the full set of Manchu Ten Tortures?"

"How is it possible, are we the kind of cruel bastards?" Night Song's eyes widened with innocence, "I swear, I didn't touch a finger of him at all, I just tickled him with my feathers every day, and by the way, I asked him to drink some special herbs from the Dark Elf Tribe...... Anla, it's not a poison, it's strictly an aphrodisiac that can increase a person's tactile sensitivity several times. ”

That's it, that's it, Pig Instein also pushed his hat seriously: "Yes, I can testify to Yege, because every time Yege helps him tickle, I will also take out my latest research alchemy invention and give him a trial for free...... Well, do you remember my old candle lighting machine, which now automatically shaves people's beards. ”

That's right, that's right. Tulu also nodded again and again, biting the cow's hooves very aggrievedly: "I haven't done anything, I just take dozens of tribesmen every day, from morning to night, and sing war songs to him twenty-four hours a day, to be honest, this is the ancestral war song of our Minotaur tribe, and most people don't hear it if they want to hear it." ”

Mmmmmmmm I just knocked on the pan accompaniment, woo woo, and knocked it down for a month, and the white and tender hooves of the people became thicker. ”

Very good and powerful, Lin Taiping couldn't help but roll his eyes, and finally understood why the clown was so tragic-

Ahem, forget about the herbs and tickling torture of the night song, and the invention of Pig Instein will not be mentioned for the time being, but the 24-hour war song chorus of the Minotaur tribe will be added. Plus the accompaniment of the first beautiful girl of the Minotaur...... The conscience of heaven and earth, our family has only heard it for three minutes before, and there is an urge to strangle ourselves, and the poor clown actually listened to it for a month. It's really hard for him to hang up before he has seven orifices spurting blood.

In fact, the clown was not far from being hung up completely, and after rushing back to his face, he quickly collapsed on his back with all his strength exhausted. Lin Taiping looked at him sympathetically, and then raised his left hand with a smile: "Okay, since that's the case." Just let me put an end to your pain once and for all!"

In an instant, the light of the slavery bracelet suddenly shone brightly, and the clown shrouded in the light only resisted for a few seconds, and his weak mental power was completely devoured, and when he opened his eyes again, his whole face became dazed and sluggish, motionless like a walking corpse.

Very good, Lin Taiping touched his chin with satisfaction, looked at the clown's eyes, and cut directly to the point: "Listen, I want to know how to lift the curse on Christine and her sister, don't say you don't know." ”

The word curse obviously touched the sensitive nerves of the clown, so that in the case of being completely enslaved, his face was still distorted and there was a phenomenon of resistance, but soon, under the full control of the slavery bracelet, he finally trembled in his throat and began to say the way to release it intermittently.

Christine waited with bated breath, and then she immediately picked up a pen and paper and began to record, lest she disturb her, and even the most verbose Turou obediently shut her mouth, and the entire underground cell became silent, except for the intermittent trembling sound of the clown, and the rustle of the quill on the paper.

Ten minutes later, the weak clown finally finished narrating, lest there be any mistakes, Lin Taiping took the paper in Christine's hand again, and forced the clown to say it again, fortunately the second time it was narrated, and it was exactly the same as the first time, which made Lin Taiping finally breathe a sigh of relief, and handed the paper back to Christine: "That's it, now you can take it to prepare the antidote, and I can also save a lot of magic ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Christine grabbed the paper in a hurry, slammed the cell door directly like a charge, and disappeared at the end of the corridor, Lin Taiping looked at her back, and couldn't help but want to complain: "Hey, hey, although I don't expect to make a personal promise, but at least a little thanks...... Huh?"

Before the words fell, Christine, who had just disappeared, rushed back, under the gaze of a large group of minotaurs and dark elves, she was like a raging red flame, very enthusiastic and directly hugged Lin Taiping, and then blushed all over her face-

Multiply!

What a sweet kiss, so sweet that Lin Taiping was dizzy, so sweet that the surrounding guys were collectively stunned, and so sweet that Leah was very resentful there: "Deliberately, deliberately, woo woo, I dare to swear, Christine did it on purpose, and it was clear that she wanted to take advantage of Lin!"

Then, Christine, who was flushed, rushed out again, this time she really disappeared, Lin Taiping touched his lips in a daze, feeling the sweet fragrance that penetrated his heart, and suddenly didn't know what to say-

Ahem, if I hadn't hallucinated, I seemed to have been kissed by Christine just now, and it was a romantic French wet kiss...... Hey, hey, hey, if you're not mistaken, even if you really want to kiss me, tell me first, I'm ready to take pictures and upload them to Weibo in advance!

"I'm going to help Christine prepare the antidote!" In the eerie silence, Yege suddenly raised her slender hand high, and immediately took Instein with her, as for whether she really went to dispense the antidote or ask gossip, only God knows.

"I'm going to eat!" Turu reacted quickly, immediately yelled, rushed out as if fleeing, and before leaving, he pulled away Leah, who was still holding the pillar and pretending to be weak, "Woo woo, dear, I feel like I've been cursed too......"

After a few seconds, the entire cell became empty, Lin Taiping stood in place with his arms folded speechlessly, and after a long, long time, he finally showed a very pleasant smile, looking down at the clown who was still enslaved and accused-

"Well, then, dear Mr. Clown, if you are not in a hurry to pass out, I have a few more questions for you, such as...... Where did the rune come from?" (To be continued......)
