Chapter 377 Sir, times have changed(1/2)
Songluo City City Lord's Mansion, City Lord's Office.
In this spacious room with extremely luxurious decoration.
The crystal tassel chandelier inlaid with crystal stones and top-quality gemstones illuminates the resplendent space with brilliance.
At a glance, whether it is a high-grade magic mahogany desk with exquisite craftsmanship, a soft carpet made of top-grade Warcraft fur, or a large gold fireplace with exquisite patterns engraved on it.
There is a sense of splendor everywhere, which makes people feel dazzled.
The walls are decorated with dazzling and exquisite murals, as well as precious artworks that are arranged in an orderly manner.
It also makes this magnificent room feel a bit more like a museum exhibition hall.
All in all, everything is filled with a strong smell of money.
Needless to say, within this room.
Even if it is the cheapest item, it is definitely something that ordinary civilians cannot reach after working hard for a lifetime.
At the same time, it also proves how rich the owner here is.
At this moment, a middle-aged aristocrat dressed in fine clothes and with a sullen expression was seen, sinking into the seat behind a soft desk.
While gently shaking the amber liquid in the goblet in his hand, he lazily looked at the two subordinates standing respectfully in front of him, yawned and said, "Go ahead.
What are the results of our actions recently?"
"Hey, Lord Qi City Lord, recently, the operation to clear up the alien lords in the area around Songluo City has been very smooth.
There were already more than a hundred alien lords hiding everywhere, and their subordinates led people to deal with them on the spot.
And, at your command, their servants were slaughtered and their mansions burned to the ground.
They all followed them and completely disappeared from this land."
On the other side, a thin middle-aged man smiled flatteringly and then responded.
"Very good, the more despicable aliens we can get rid of, the better."
Taking a sip of the amber liquid in the cup, the middle-aged nobleman with a sullen face nodded with satisfaction and said: "On my land.
These ants of unknown origin must never be allowed to exist.
Please go ahead and tell all the soldiers in Songluo City that once they find an alien lord, they must deal with it on the spot, leaving no one behind."
"The villain has an order, Lord City Lord."
Smiling again, a chill flashed through the skinny man's eyes, and he said respectfully: "I promise.
There will never be another alien lord in Songluo City and all nearby areas."
Hearing this, the middle-aged nobleman with a sullen expression focused his lazy eyes on another obese man standing aside.
He said calmly: "How was your income this month?"
"Back to the city lord, my income has been very stable."
Hearing this, the fat man's chubby body bowed and said with a smile: "In addition to the many industries inside and outside Songluo City.
Especially in Red Arrow Town, which is under the jurisdiction of Viscount Tars, the harvest month of magic beads is coming soon.
Because some time ago, according to the plan of the city lord, the scale of breeding of magic bead monsters was increased.
Therefore, your income will definitely reach an unprecedented new height."
"very good."
After drinking the amber liquid in the cup, a satisfied smile appeared on the angry face of the middle-aged noble.
He said calmly: "It just so happens that I, the Marquis, have recently taken a fancy to several rare items from the dark elves. Now, I can finally get them all."
"Hehe, Master Luo Ji is wise." On the other side, the fat man immediately flattered him and said: "Back then, if you hadn't made a decisive move, Red Arrow Town would have become our territory.
I’m afraid we won’t get this stable cash cow yet.”
"Yes, yes, Master Luo Ji's strategic vision is simply rare in the world!" The skinny man on the side also echoed.
Then, there was another trace of worry on his pale face.
Then he said: "However, in the past year, the population loss of Red Arrow Town has been very serious, which may greatly affect our efficiency."
"Indeed, this Marquis has told that guy from Tas many times, asking him to find ways to increase his manpower, but there has been no progress."
Putting down the goblet in his hand, Luo Ji turned his turbid eyes and said thoughtfully: "If this happens, I'm afraid the cash cow of Red Arrow Town will wither sooner or later."
"Sir Luo Ji, I have a wonderful idea." With a flattering smile, the fat man bowed slightly again.
He took a step forward and said: "During this period of time, the villain has been busy and has made some of our cells in Songluo City overcrowded. How about escorting all these prisoners to Red Arrow Town?"
In this case, even if the population of Red Arrow Town is exhausted and becomes an empty city, we will have a steady stream of manpower to transport it.
Although the lives of those untouchables don't matter, our business must continue."
"It seems that you are already prepared."
Nodding with satisfaction to the fat man, Luo Ji showed a hint of approval on his angry face and said lightly: "Very good, let's do this for now.
In addition, the Marquis heard that there was internal strife in Mailan Town, which greatly reduced its strength, and that a new young city lord who was neither male nor female was replaced. It was a time of weakness.
It would be a good choice to make it the second Red Arrow Town."
"Sir Luo Ji is wise, but you are far-sighted. I am ashamed of myself."
Hearing this, the fat man quickly saluted and said flatteringly: "If we can kill the new city lord and get the town of Mailan, it is indeed an excellent way.
In this way, not only can a large number of people be added to Red Arrow Town.
Moreover, you can also get many resources in Mailan Town. After all, it is an agricultural town and its food production is extremely good."
"This matter must be put on the agenda as soon as possible." At this time, Luo Ji smiled gloomily, with a proud expression, as if he had negotiated a big deal.
Immediately, he pondered for a moment and then said: "By the way, our spy captain hasn't sent any news from Kongqing Town yet?"
"Return to Mr. Loki, not yet."
On the other side, the thin man quickly clasped his fists and said, "But please don't worry, sir, that guy is an old killer and has almost never failed.
If, like the rumors, the new city lord of Kongqing Town is really an alien lord.
I'm afraid the head of the alien lord has been cut off."
"That would be best. A despicable alien lord would actually occupy a city in our Lengyan Kingdom. It is simply an insult to us Lengyan nobles!
In this land, only we are qualified to enslave the untouchables, not those guys."
Nodding slightly, Rocky smiled and said gloomily: "The most important thing is.
If we can present Princess Ariel, who fled to Kongqing Town, to the respected eldest prince, our real good days will come soon."
"What Lord Loki said is absolutely true."
The obese man on the side responded: "If we kill that alien lord, we can gain further favor from His Highness the Great Prince.
That was a perfect deal.
I just didn't expect that His Highness the Eldest Prince would be having a heated fight with the other two princes in the royal capital.
How could he take care of the remote Kongqing Town and Princess Ariel so quickly?
I have to say that our eldest prince really has the appearance of a king!"
"Nonsense, His Royal Highness the Prince has an expert guiding him behind his back."
Playing with the crystal clear goblet on the table, Luo Ji rolled his cloudy eyes and continued: "Although I don't know now.
Who is the master behind His Royal Highness the Prince?
However, if we can accomplish this for His Highness the Great Prince, kill the despicable alien lord of Nakong Qing Town, and then forcibly send Ariel back to the royal capital.
By then, His Highness the Prince will be happy, and we will be considered the greatest contributors to the new dynasty."
"Hehe, following the wise Master Luo Ji is indeed the most correct choice!"
On the other side, the thin man and the fat man couldn't help but look at each other, with excitement on their faces.
After finishing speaking, the three of them laughed ferociously.
Boom, boom, boom!
At this moment, an anxious knock on the door suddenly came over.
Then, at Rocky's signal, the skinny man opened the door.
An out-of-breath messenger immediately stepped into the gate and said with a panicked look on his face: "Sir Luo Ji, it's not good!
Red Arrow Town was attacked by unknown forces and the situation was critical.
It is said that he belongs to one of the other two princes!"
"What?!" After hearing this, Rocky immediately stood up from the soft seat.
I saw him smashing the luxurious desk in front of him into two pieces with one palm, and roared: "How dare you take my idea?!"
"Okay, please retreat first."
To be continued...
