Chapter 24

Louis was gambling, betting that Philos cared about the civilians of Lanceville.

If it was other nobles, Louis wouldn't dare to gamble half a point, but if it was Philos who was willing to use the resurrection technique to "help" the commoners - it would be disrespectful to the resurrection technique to hesitate for a second longer!

According to Louis's bold guess, Philos seems to have mistaken them for "random" bandits.

The continent of Tantali is very unpeaceful, there is death and chaos everywhere, and there are more bandits than wild dogs on the side of the road!

The person who appeared in front of him and killed him - it doesn't seem like an absolutely impossible thing either!

But why would they go to such trouble to deal with a group of poor ghosts?

Louis is more perceptive than Tonier, he is "late" to Tonier, and it takes some caution to stand out.

The forgotten "truth" by Toniel is a good opportunity.

Toniel also realized after Louis spoke up, and he had subconsciously left the matter behind him with only shock and flattery.

It's not that Toniel isn't smart, it's that habits have been formed.

The most basic quality of a thief is to have a strict mouth.

Although the brand of secrecy in his soul has been erased, Toniel has long developed the habit of never "talking".

But as soon as Louis spoke, Toniel immediately realized that this was a good thing to curry favor with Philos!

"Master, I have something to do too-"

"Chiti! Master, it's Chiti who betrays you! Louis preemptively said, "Chiti, a traitor, uses the taxes of Da and Lansville City to support his guards to enjoy life, and also colludes with the heinous bandits, using various means to make the commoners unable to pay taxes and become slaves, and then sell them to the orc empire as two-legged sheep through smuggling groups." ”

Louis spoke in a heavy voice when he spoke of "the heinous bandits", and he didn't seem to feel like he was one of them.

When Toniel heard his words, he almost gritted his teeth, but the hateful Louie didn't care about his former "companionship" and snatched the opportunity to tell him.

Toniel spoke eagerly, "Master—"

"I see."

The Tonier Bandits were instructed to rob and slaughter, as Philos knew when he saw the distance between the bandits' stronghold and the construction site.

According to the steward and other servants, Dayak was rarely visited by bandits for a simple reason - poverty.

But what he didn't expect was that it would be the level 36 weak chicken who instructed this group of bandits to rob.

Who exactly gave them the guts!

Philos sneered: "This group of civilians is so poor that they are dying, why don't you just go and rob Chiti?" ”

There were not many transcendents in the impoverished city of Dayak, and the commoners and slaves were left to do some very mundane and unskilled farm chores. The whole city is impoverished.

Those who can be thieves will not be ordinary people, there are many channels for transcendents to make money, and they can't look down on this money, so they won't go to great lengths to risk encountering an army of the undead to go to Dayak City.

For twenty years, there were almost no bandits near Dayak City.

The Tonier Bandits are the "closest" bandits, but their main area of activity is not near the territory of Lanceville, but more than a hundred kilometers away in the city of Lakdalia.

Lakdalia City is much more prosperous than Lansvelly, although it is also on the "border", but with Dayak City as a buffer, when Dayak City is also reduced to a land of bones, it is not too late for them to leave.

There is always no shortage of places to go.

Louie was so frightened that his heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, and lungs were trembling: "Yes, yes...... Order of the Lord of Stana. ”

Bandits-Lords-Caravans-Civilians are a complete "biological chain", caravans earn money from civilians, but how much money do civilians have? Most of them were earned from nobles and transcendentals.

The same goes for lords to collect taxes from commoners, and it is the caravans that give the bulk of the taxes.

But the lord is also the main patron of the caravan, and in the end he spends more money than he earns! Clever merchants will pay some "protection money", but greed is always an insatiable and terrible desire, and taking "bribes" from caravans will not satisfy the nobles.

Simply use the money endlessly to train transcendents and make them bandits, and the bandits go to rob caravans, dividing the robbed money with the lord.

The relationship is complex.

There are no high-level transcendents in Dayak City, but Lakviglia City is different.

As one of the most prosperous cities on the border, the Lord of Stana is a level 85 arcane mage, and at the same time, the Stana family is a "big family" with a history of thousands of years, and there are countless excellent descendants.

As a behemoth, Stana is the absolute master of the territory.

The Toniel Bandits are just one of the bandits he has cultivated.

The relationship between the bandits and the nobles is an "open secret" in high society, and the difference is only in which nobleman cultivates it.

There are more than a dozen bandit groups large and small in the vicinity of the city of Lakvilia, and their very existence represents a factional struggle between the nobles. Including the bandits themselves, it is their job to rob caravans, but they will also rob territory and nobles according to orders......

This action was carried out with the tacit approval of Lord Stana.

Pok Chiti didn't have much ability, but he had a very beautiful daughter, and the ungifted daughter had no inheritance, but fortunately, she was very beautiful, and she was sent to the Lord of Stana like a slave, and gave birth to a child with a high talent for the light element.

Good-looking slaves are nothing, but children with high talent for light elements are very precious.

Pok Chiti immediately took the two lines of Lord Stana and the Church of Light, and completely secured the position of Archon of Dayak City.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to overwhelm the group of poor nobles who had stronger self-esteem than anyone else with a level of 36 alone.

Dayak City was a poor and sour city that had been abandoned, and the Lord of Stana did not like it, so he acquiesced in Chiti's act of destroying it if he could not get it.

The owner of the money did not object, Toniel received the benefit fee from Chiti, and was willing to go out to have fun and make himself happy, but he didn't expect to meet the monster Philos.

Who would have thought that Philos would be so powerful and come to be the lord of this poor mountain and remote land!

After listening to Louis 1510 and pour out the whole story, Philos was not angry, but said lightly: "I know." ”

The mood is calm and the voice is flat.

However, the bandits who were casually stuffed into the stones were so frightened that they subconsciously hugged each other tightly.

Philos did not rush back to the city, and fought a day and a night with a weak "battle", and another big night of looting, although there were resurrection techniques and healing techniques to continuously fill the health bar, but the mental and psychological exhaustion was not so easy to eliminate.

There are still a bunch of children at the construction site, although the manta fish and the maid brought out of the castle to be in charge of the technical aspects are left, but after all, there are hundreds of children, and I don't know what happened.

It was as convenient as when I came, tearing open the space and leaving, but the bandits' den, which was gorgeously decorated and beautiful, is now a place of ruins and smoke and black charcoal.

*

Philos was used to being a lone wolf, and he walked neatly and neatly, and he felt that if he left bodyguards for the necessities, there would be no more problems this time.

But the children and maids who were left behind were still uneasy.

They never thought that those watery magic vegetables and white wheat flour were for them to eat, and they didn't dare to think about "stealing" the loot, even those clean new dishes and chopsticks.

Even the pot was taken out to boil water for the manta ray, and each magic ingredient was thrown a little down, and a pot was simmered, and a lot of spices were added at the end.

At first, the Manta Fish was curious, and followed the slaves to watch them cook soup, and then when they found out that this thing was for themselves, they immediately ran as far as they could.

When the children saw this reaction, they were so frightened that they wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy, but when they thought of the lord's order, they changed it to bowing and invited the cloudy manta fish to eat it in fear.

The manta fish immediately turned to the size of a centimeter and swam away with its tail flicked. Who would eat such a dark dish!

The manta rays were not eaten, and the children did not dare to touch them, but they found some weeds that had eaten the undead, and they followed the river water, and everyone mixed the water and thought they had eaten.

Although it is a giant monster with a prototype of more than 2,000 meters, the manta ray is still a 3-year-old baby, and when he saw the slaves eating like this, he also tried it, and then immediately spit out bitter and hard-to-swallow weeds.

Could it be that humans and manta rays have different taste systems? He thought it was so unpalatable! Let him eat this, he will die the monster!

The children had seen the manta rays and were much more relieved to sleep at night, but the wind in the wild was really strong, and the temperature in the wild in autumn was also low, so everyone hid behind the leeward trees with their thin clothes, but it was difficult to sleep.

"Alice, you say, are we still alive?"

I've heard others say what happened after they "died".

There are really too many things that have happened today, things that they once dared not think of and could not have dreamed of.

"The heart you touch, it's beating." Alice took Shirley's hand and pressed it to her chest, "Puff, puff, puff......"

Shirley was amused by her: "Alice, your heart is beating so fast." ”

Alice said endlessly: "The lord is really amazing!" ”

Shirley immediately understood her words: "It's really amazing!" I thought I'd never see my mom again. ”

“……”

There were whispers everywhere that lowered their voices, but no one was noisy.

After a night of tossing and turning, everyone had a big dark circle on their faces.

When Philos returned, he saw the pot of dark dishes with a strange smell: "Is it boiled?" Throw it away and cook it again. ”

Jenny, who was stirring with a large spatula, was startled, thinking that Philos was dissatisfied with her work, and immediately begged for mercy.

"Yes, I'm sorry lord! It's me who is too stupid......" Jenny stammered, and her speech was a little inverted, but Philos was surprisingly impatient and listened attentively.

Philos understood, and they all thought that these ingredients were prepared for manta rays!

Philos had a new understanding of how big the difference was between himself and these people's thinking, and simply ordered directly: "Each person has a bowl and a pair of chopsticks, come and line up." ”

He poured the pot of food into the river in the eyes of a crowd of people who were almost suffocated, and in an instant a large group of fish rushed to grab food, and in less than a minute the river was clear again.

Philos instructed them to peel and cut the carrots, tomatoes, and cabbage into pieces, and boil them, and the flour and dough were kneaded into small pieces, and a large bag of salt, monosodium glutamate, soy sauce, and pepper was sprinkled.

Finally, the newly obtained [Time Dust] was used to speed up a time, and the cauldron that took at least two hours was cooked in only ten seconds under the action of Time Dust.

Louie: ".................." Louie looked at the dust of time that two-thirds of the time was missing, and his brain was down.

The other bandits were also distressed enough.

This is the dust of time! A great killer that can be used on level 150 forbidden spells!

But then I thought of the [Pendulum of Time] that turned back time and the [Group Resurrection Technique] that resurrected 2,000 people countless times.

Yukou Qi ·

…… It seems that the dust of time is indeed a bit out of reach.

The smell of incense in an instant overlordly occupied everyone's noses.

Philos used the dust of time to cool the hot gnocchi soup to the point where it was warm but not hot in the mouth, this time only a fifth less.

The bandits are numb - strange!

Philos handed the large spoon to the maid who was stirring at the beginning: "One spoon per person, no more, no less." ”
