Chapter 325: Fire in the Rear
"Nonsense!" Lao Wang was even more distressed when he heard this, can this still be painful? It's not a machine, this girl is the typical lack of love and self-swallowing type: "Don't lie in front of senior brother! Flesh and blood, if it hurts, it hurts, I'll try to be lighter!"
Somehow, he was already unconscious, but now he felt pain, and when Wang Feng's hand touched the wound, he couldn't help but let out a muffled snort.
Lao Wang was startled, "Does it hurt?"
Marpel blushed, "No, no. β
From the wandering life when she was a child to the cruel training in the Mi group, and then to the life of the past few years, no matter what injuries she suffered or what hardships she suffered, how could anyone ever care about her?
Lao Wang also wiped his sweat, this dim environment, such a sound is simply terrible, grandma's, this is an injury for himself, how can he be a beast!
"It's okay, senior brother, I can stand it!" Mapel actually felt that his eyes were a little moist, but for the first time he smiled sweetly.
It was an incomparably relaxed mood, which she had never experienced before, and at the time of the ruling, she was always a bystander, cautious and envious, out of reach, and at this moment, Mapel felt like a normal person.
...... It took a lot of time to bandage, although the self-healing ability of these cultivators was far from being comparable to that of ordinary people, but Lao Wang still handled it quite carefully, maybe it was some kind of heart knot, he cleaned it three times with magic potion before applying a layer on it, and finally put a plaster bandage, and then wrapped it in gauze.
Marpel cooperated motionlessly throughout the whole process, letting her senior brother toss casually on her back, her heart was full of feelings, but she couldn't tell what it was, for the first time, she hoped that her injury could heal slowly, so that time would stay at this moment.
"Senior brother, this potion is not blown, this level of trauma can be healed in a day or two!" The wound has been bandaged, and Lao Wang is babbling while packing up his things: "We won't go anywhere in the past two days, just take root here, the notes have stuffed me with a lot of delicious food in this bag, and the senior brother will show you a hand in a while, and make a nutritional combination package......"
Lao Wang was still talking, but he felt a soft body gently leaning towards his arms, he was slightly stunned, and his two hands were still half-raised.
Mapel's body trembled slightly, after all, it was the first time he took the initiative to release his emotions, and his mind suddenly went blank just now, and then he did it, "Senior brother, thank you." β
At this moment, Mapel still looks like a ruthless killer, but more like a kitten who has just found its mother.
Lao Wang shut up.
Regardless of her previous status, she was actually just a nineteen-year-old girl, resting in her hometown, and a girl like Mapel should be at the age when she wore beautiful dresses, danced freely in the sun every day, and was much loved, but in this world, she had to go through these life and death, brutal killing......
Lao Wang sighed slightly, put down the things in his hand gently, and then reached out to stroke the soft long hair of Mapel in his arms, and felt the trembling body gradually calm down after a long time.
"From now on, you will be my Wang Feng's person!" said Lao Wang gently.
Saying such a thing at this moment, of course he understood the weight of his words in Marpel's eyes, otherwise he would not have hesitated for so long, but he still said so.
Marpel's calm body trembled slightly, and the connection from the soul seed was infinitely magnified at this moment, as if Wang Feng's soul was finally completely open to her, but this time, the trembling quickly calmed down.
Marpel nodded gently, and her brother's arms were so warm that she felt at home.
............
At this time, the distant Aurora City has changed again, although it cannot be said that the rose has risen, but after Kalida's tossing, the Rose Sanctuary has really attracted everyone's attention.
However, no one expected that Kalida, who had just made some noise, suddenly stepped down as the headmaster, and Hockland was promoted to the position of headmaster, which was particularly abrupt.
The Rose Sanctuary claims to be Kalida as a high-level hero, and it is reused, but the public opinion in the secret thinks that there is an internal strife, and it is obvious that there is no reason to make such a scene when the winner has not yet been decided, and the thunder dragon has no objection, which means something.
In the shadows, there is even more gossip that someone from the Holy City has taken Carrijan! Evidence?Didn't I see that on the day after Kalida left Aurora City, the new city lord of Aurora City, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly officially entered Aurora City, and there was also a member of the Blade Council who accompanied him.
It's just a coincidence? In these years, who would believe in this kind of coincidence, to be a character who can become the city lord, even if it is really a coincidence, and if he really has a heart, wouldn't he have kept a low profile for two days before announcing his entry into Aurora City?
There is also a bit of chaos inside the Rose Sanctuary, and the disciples are also speculating, if it weren't for the fact that it was Vice Principal Hawkland who succeeded him as the headmaster, in all respects, this was also a rune person, and he had a good relationship with the old headmaster and Kalida, it might have been a big deal.
In other words, Karida must have a certain problem, but it is not serious enough to shake the foundation of the Lei family in Aurora City.
Lei Long didn't object, he didn't speak, this big guy with a lot of status in the Blade Alliance obviously had some tricks to be caught and lost the initiative.
Castle Lord's Mansion......
The city lord of Aurora City is mobile, similar to the governor sent by the council, of course, he must get the consent of the Lei family, this is definitely a fat difference, and every term can make a lot of money.
The house is full of lights, crowded with people, this is the banquet of the new city lord, at this time, all the people with heads and faces in Aurora City are here, and everyone gathers together in three or five and whispers.
Udagan stood alone in the corner, watching the humans around him exchange cups and lamps, he was out of place here, which made him even more surprised in his heart, no city lord would invite an orc to a banquet as an ordinary guest without any strings attached.
What made Udagan's heart uneasy was that the new city lord Toryev had found him directly, instead of sending the invitation to the orc leader who was in charge of Aurora City on the surface.
Although the news that Udagan, one of the thirteen orc generals, was in Aurora City, it was also a secret that only friends knew, and even the previous Aurora City Lord didn't know anything about it, but Toryev found him directly.
This hand is a disadvantage to the orcs.
For orcs, there are glorious titles of thirteen gods, but in the eyes of humans, what is the difference between this and a cat and a dog?
In the study of the inner mansion, Toryev, the city lord of the New Aurora City, who was supposed to be in the former mansion, was drinking tea here, wearing a set of white city lord crown clothes, majestic and comfortable.
Sitting with him was Councilor Nie Xin, who came with him this time, wearing the standard dress of the councilor, with a long and narrow face, and a goatee more than a finger long.
"Brother Nie, this time Aurora City took office, thanks to your company, the forces of all parties in Aurora City are complicated, if it weren't for your intelligence, I'm afraid I wouldn't know until I die that there is a beast god who will hide here, the place is not big, it's really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. β
Nie Xin pursed his lips and tasted the fragrance of tea, "The situation is sensitive, Aurora City has become more and more important, you and I are in the same door, what are you doing with these kind words?" β
"It's still Lao Nie, you know me. Toryev heard what he wanted to hear, picked up his teacup, and drank it all, "Old friend, the time is about the same, accompany me to the front again, and kill the majesty of these aurora natives for me." β
"You, you, no matter how majestic they are, can they have the majesty of you, the city lord? I just came to see the customs of Aurora. Nie Xin said with a smile.
The two of them got up, and when they came out of the study, they saw two rows of servants kneeling in the corridor.
"Get up and go to the front house. Toryev commanded coldly.
The two rows of servants immediately formed two teams in front and back, and the two guards came to the front mansion for a banquet.
"The lord of the castle has arrivedβ
Councillor Nie hereβ"
In an instant, the lively banquet immediately quieted down, and everyone turned in one direction, "I've seen the city lord, I've seen the councilor." β
Toryev's eyes swept across the audience, and then he showed a kind smile, and said lightly: "Today's private banquet, don't be polite, you are all the mainstay of Aurora City, when you see it today, it is really worthy of its reputation, and in the future, it will depend on you to build our Aurora more brilliantly and become a pearl of the Blade Alliance." β
The people of the Lei family did not come, after all, the people present knew the inside story to some extent, at this time, An Berlin, who was temporarily selected as the representative by everyone, took a step forward and said: "The city lord is serious, I am really ashamed, and I need more support from the adults in the future." β
"Master An, that's not the case, regardless of the government and the people, everyone is working for the alliance, in the future, as long as everyone works together, it will inevitably make Aurora City more brilliant, just like your Anhetang, although it is private property, it is also providing a lot of resources for the alliance, and even, it is better than many industries of the alliance. β
As he spoke, Tolev stared at Amberlin with a smirk.
Amber knew in his heart that Tolev's words were both a threat and a hint, as long as he stood on his side, he could get the help of the City Lord's Mansion, and if anyone was still involved in the past, it would inevitably be a thunderous blow.
Although the Judgment and the Rose compete, this is internal, both belong to the Templar system, and the relationship between the Templar and the Blade Council is also ...... It's hard to put into words.
However, Anhetang was specifically proposed...... It seems that this new city lord is not very determined to attack the two major sanctuaries in Aurora City, but to integrate the redistribution of other interests outside the sanctuary.
"It should be so, regardless of the government and the people, to serve the alliance, An Hetang is naturally close behind the city lord and work together. β
"Haha, the words of the city lord are worth ten thousand words, and I also make a statement on behalf of the Sailing Chamber of Commerce, and the future will definitely follow in the footsteps of the city lord and have the strength to make a move. β
"That's right, that's right, I'm willing to work with the city lord!"
Udagan stood behind the crowd, followed by a group of wealthy businessmen who expressed their attitude.
This human being is a complicated, simple thing, it has to be neatly written, it sounds elegant to say, but what if anyone fails to understand the true meaning of these words?
Orcs always suffer from this, and always understand the meaning of human words as words......
The banquet is well catered to, and the guests and hosts seem to be happy.
Soon, it was late at night, and Wu Dagan saw that the time was almost up, so he followed behind the two rich merchants, intending to leave quietly, but when he walked to the gate, he was blocked by two city lord guards, "Please stay, the city lord is invited." β
Udagan paused, quietly gestured to Bahanercha, who was watching from afar, and followed the two guards to a side courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion.
The two guards didn't leave, just stood at the gate of the side courtyard and guarded, but they were not rude, Wu Dagan asked two irrelevant words, and both of them also replied in a simple voice.
After sitting for a long time, but never seeing Toryev, Udagan knew in his heart that the new city lord liked to play with this kind of power trick, since it was him and the others, he would naturally fall into a psychological disadvantage in the later conversation.
After waiting for a long time, just when Udagan thought he would have to wait all night, Tolev and the Nieshin Councillor came to the side courtyard with their slaves.
As soon as Udagan looked up, he saw Tolev's cold eyes, and his pale blue pupils flickered with danger.
"Elder Udagan, yes, you are worthy of being one of the thirteen orc generals, you manage your subordinates very well, do you know that if your subordinates make a slight change outside the mansion, the orcs in Aurora City will be in trouble. β
Wu Dagan took a deep breath, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was a naked threat, and Ma Wei was quite ruthless!
"City Lord Daen, although we are humble, we still know that we can live well because we are attached to Aurora City and the City Lord's Mansion, and I will not dare to forget, this is the harvest account of the cooperation between the grass people and the City Lord's Mansion, please take a look. Wu Dagan hurriedly leaned over and spoke, holding an account book in both hands and sending it away.
"Cooperate with the City Lord's Mansion? Toryev smiled, very satisfied with Udagan's statement, cooperating with the city lord, then it is possible that the city lord is unethical, after all, the reputation of the orcs is cheap and dirty, even if it is a beautiful gold coin, after passing the hands of the orcs, it is as disgusting as falling into a dung pit...... Cooperating with the castle lord's mansion is a matter of public service, and if it is attacked by political enemies, it is easy to get out of it.
Naturally, Tolyev would not pick up the things of a pariah-faced orc with his own hands, and one of his book slaves stepped forward, unceremoniously took the account book, and then knelt in front of Toryev and spread out the account book, turning page by page.
"Look at the accounts, you can actually keep fifty percent? Don't you know that now is the most dangerous moment for the alliance and the nine gods? From today on, all the accounts, the city lord's mansion will collect seventy percent. β
"This, my lordship...... I can't help it, I waited for the grass people to work hard to finally have something to eat, and this fifty percent is already barely surviving. β
"Bastard, aren't the front-line soldiers harder than you? Don't think I don't know how much ill-gotten money you orcs make selling moonshine! I heard that you have got a mysterious recipe to upgrade the wine?"
With a bang, Udagan's heart suddenly became clear, fifty percent or seventy percent on the ledger is still seventy percent, in the eyes of this Tolyev, it is just a small amount of money, yes, it can eliminate all difficulties and compete for the position of the city lord of Aurora City, which is extremely special in geography and economic location, how can Toryev be an ordinary greedy for money?
Give a million to a poor man, and he will scream and get rich, but the same million to this kind of rich man, not only does he not feel anything, but he may even feel that he is being despised and wants to dig out more benefits from you.
Wu Dagan was extremely angry in his heart, but he was helpless, the reason why the orcs took root in Aurora City, the reason why he came here is because this place is special, no matter what, even the holy church has two, here, the orcs only need to deal with a city lord, change it to other places, all forces are stripped down, it would be good to leave one percent for them, and the orcs who live like that, except for a trace of freedom, are not much better than slaves.
No one in this world has ever cared about orcs.
"My lord, you also know that we orcs are engaged in a low-profit business, and there are all aspects of dotting, seventy percent is really too high......"
"No nonsense, this is not a discussion, but an order, in addition, for the sake of safety, you orcs should leave a proton in the City Lord's Mansion, I heard that you have a granddaughter named Su Mei'er who is in the Aurora, send her to the City Lord's Mansion, in addition, you can use the secret recipe, copy a copy to the City Lord's Mansion for the record, in case the alliance needs it from time to time." β
Tolev's words were neither light nor serious, but they were like a sword, cutting through Udagan's heart, and even observing his expression.
With Uganda's strength, he is absolutely sure that he will kill this city lord and leave unharmed, but the problem is, if he leaves, the council will change the city lord at most, and then what?
What about the other orcs?
He inhaled, keeping as humble a posture as he could, his anger already rising,
But...... There was still humble helplessness on his face.
What about the orcs?
I've endured it for decades...... Why not endure more?
