Han Shuo, who was over 1.9 meters tall, was naturally intimidated when he walked from the inner room. Even in front of the mountain people who were generally outstanding in height, Han Shuo still stood out, especially with his strange appearance after practicing magic skills.
Temperament can attract more attention.
Han Shuo walked over with a smile. When he arrived, he took out plates of meat grilled into oily yellow from the space ring and placed them on the table in front of everyone.
"Everyone, these are some rare meats that I traveled a little further and hunted from other places. How do you think they taste?" Han Shuo laid out several large plates of meat and asked everyone to taste it with a smile.
On the other side, Jack, who was being pestered by Doakes to discuss military resources, could no longer control his yearning for delicious food as soon as he smelled the aroma of meat.
Bian ran over.
Doakes is an ambitious war maniac. His only interest is to use his utmost energy to make the power in his hands more powerful, so as to prepare for more explosive lethality in subsequent battles.
Therefore, during this period, Doakes became extremely interested in Jack, the fat little man who was in charge of the finances, and used all means to try to get more equipment from Jack. From the beginning, Jack's fear of Doakes gradually increased.
He became more and more calm, and did not give Doakes everything he wanted as quickly as Doakes wished.
"You guy, haha." Seeing Jack running over quickly, Han Shuo smiled and shook his head, and then said to the five mountain men leaders with a relaxed expression: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and take action with these things.
It’s not something you can usually eat.”
The five mountain people leaders, including Fokarin, felt a little frightened when they saw that Han Shuo was not as cold and aloof as they thought, and they became even more reserved.
Jack and Han Shuo knew each other best, and Han Shuo was also Jack's only friend for so many years. He was not as polite as others. When he came over, he picked up a large piece of tender meat with a fork and put it into his mouth to chew.
He started chewing it and exclaimed in surprise: "Hmm, it's really good. What kind of meat is this? It's so fragrant?"
"This is the front foot of a manticore. Doesn't it taste good?" Han Shuo replied with a smile, pointing to the other delicacies on the plate and introducing them one by one: "This plate is the tail of the deepwater poisonous python. It is the chewiest, and also
There's that plate of Harpy's brain, you won't know until you taste it, this is..."
Under Han Shuo's introduction, the five mountain people leaders, including Valland Dox and others, were all stunned. They never expected that the delicacies in front of them all came from high-level magic beasts. Such level
High-level monsters can only be hunted by a team of skilled adventurers. Otherwise, most people will face a dead end.
"There are no such monsters around Brettell City. Where did he go to hunt them? Well, these high-level monsters are not something ordinary people can hunt. The Lord of the City is indeed an incredible monster!"
Except for Han Shuo, everyone in the venue felt this emotion at the same time, and everyone looked at Han Shuo with strange looks.
"What. This is the front foot of a manticore!" Jack jumped in fright. There was a large piece of meat on the knife and fork in his hand. He had heard that a manticore's claws could often tear a person into pieces when it dropped.
, thinking about how delicious the chewed meat in his mouth was, I couldn't help but scream.
"Not bad, how does it taste?" Han Shuo laughed, stared at Jack and asked.
"The taste is really good, but when I think about the scene of a manticore using its front paws to tear people apart, why do I feel a little scared!" Jack was a little frightened, looking at the delicious food and his little eyes turned around, thinking
Eating seems to be a bit unable to overcome the pressure in my heart.
Glancing at a few other people, he found that the expressions on their faces were also strange. Han Shuo laughed dumbly and said: "Why, don't you dare to eat it? Haha, this is the land I hunt specifically for you, I won't do this.
Aren’t you going to give me face?”
Doakes said nothing under Han Shuo's gaze. He walked to the Harpy's meat plate, picked up a large piece of black meat with his knife and fork, and swallowed it with a gloomy face.
"What's the big deal, huh!" To Han Shuo's surprise, Delia pouted and snorted. She picked up a knife and fork and struck at the deepwater poisonous python. She picked out a piece of meat with brittle bones.
Chew carefully.
After just taking a small bite, Delia frowned and waved her knife and fork again excitedly, trying to fork out a bigger piece to try again, and exclaimed in her mouth: "It's really delicious!"
"Hey, the deep water poisonous python is highly toxic. I don't know if it has been cleaned up. If it is not cleaned up, then there will be big trouble!" Looking at Delia's moving look of chewing, the corner of Han Shuo's mouth
He pulled it and whispered to himself in a low voice.
Delia, who was feasting regardless of her image, happened to hear Han Shuo's soliloquy with her little ears. Her originally excited movements suddenly froze, her red cheeks became a little pale, and her eyes trembled as she looked at Han Shuo.
He said sarcastically: "What did you say?"
"It's nothing, haha. With the deep water poisonous python's extreme toxicity, if I hadn't dealt with it cleanly, you would have collapsed by now!" Han Shuo laughed and replied easily.
"Damn it, you actually scared me!" Delia glared at Han Shuo fiercely, but she did not pursue Han Shuo's threats and focused more on the plate of deep-water poisonous pythons.
Because at this time, the other four mountain people leaders and Frankenstein and others had already reacted and started to take action, especially the little fat man Jack, who picked up the plate and started to act directly.
They rarely even see these rare foods, let alone taste them on the plate. Although Han Shuo brought a lot of food, there are more people here, especially the mountain people who eat a lot.
Known to be very powerful, Delia was deeply afraid that those people would share the remaining food on their plates while she was speaking, so she immediately stopped talking to Han Shuo and joined in the fight for food.
It didn't take long for a total of six plates of food to be eaten clean by several people who were grabbing knives and forks in their hands. On the one hand, the taste of the food was indeed very wonderful, and on the other hand, the ingredients
The strangeness made people feel more surprised, so they quickly finished the six plates of food.
When the servants hired by Han Shuo in the city lord's palace brought the food they had carefully cooked one by one, the group found it boring and no longer looked down upon such ordinary food.
After having enough wine and food, the group followed Han Shuo to the meeting hall, where the servants cleaned up the mess.
Han Shuo, who was always smiling and talking in a funny manner, was not as difficult to get along with as the five mountain people imagined. When they sat down, everyone was less reserved and more friendly. The exotic food among them must have played a big role.
Small credit.
Han Shuo sat in the center without hesitation. He glanced at the five mountain people leaders with a smile, and saw that the five people had suppressed their smiles and were all sitting upright. He nodded and said, "Don't be nervous, everyone. Please come down this time. Yes.
Let’s discuss some matters about making a fortune together with you. You are all residents of Brettel City. Perhaps it is because the previous city lord could not make you trust him, so you gradually distanced yourself from the relationship with Brettel City.
This time, Your Majesty gave me Brettel City. I will not let Brettel City be plundered by the seven principalities and various bandits again. Not only Brettel City will not do it, but your five mines will also be protected. From now on.
From now on, I hope that everyone can truly work together to develop Brettel City.
"Lord of the City, I believe you can bring stability to Brettel City. As the leader of the mountain people in Tali Mountain, I am willing to obey the command of the Lord of the City. I know that the Lord of the City will not treat us badly." Fokarin had it when he came.
He made the decision. He knew in his heart that Han Shuo's strength alone could cause heavy damage to Tali Mountain. Along the way, after seeing the tight defense of Brettel City, Fukarin's determination became even firmer.
Han Shuo also knew about the friendliness of Fukarin. Hearing this, he nodded to Fukarin with a smile and said, "Thank you Fukarin. Last time Falkaland faced the threat of bandits, you Tali Mountain helped you.
This city lord knows this well."
"My lord, you're welcome. In the past, it was because the dungeon lord didn't even care about his own citizens, which made me deeply disdainful. Your lord is completely different from them. As a member of Brettel City, this is what I should do. Besides, lord
He also helped us rescue the siege of Tarishan last time. Turoda will never invade our Tarishan again." Fokarin was very sensible. Since he had decided to cooperate well with Han Shuo, he spared no effort to start doing it.
Fokarin's statement made the other four mountain people leaders look at each other. In the hearts of the four mountain people leaders, the new city lord was excellent in all aspects. The only thing that worried them was that they were afraid that Han Shuo would seize their mines.
For their own sake, this is the reason why they dare not agree easily yet.
The mines of the four of them are their main source of income and the basis for their survival. According to Han Shuo, everything around Brettel City belongs to the city lord. Does that mean that their mines also belong to Han Shuo?
?
Han Shuo looked at the four mountain people leaders with a smile and said hehe, "Four of you, are you willing to support me?"
As soon as these words came out, the four people were suddenly shocked. The other three young mountain people leaders did not speak. They all focused their attention on the eldest Adman. Adman was silent for a while, and then faced Han Shuo.
He said respectfully: "Sir, we are all your people. Of course we are willing to let Brettel City develop, but we don't know how to help you. Please make it clear."
Smiling and nodding, Han Shuo said: "Since you admit that you are my subjects of Brettel City, this matter will be easy to handle. To be honest, Brettel City is short of everything except not enough manpower. Businessmen
A steady stream of supplies will be transported here, and our Brettel City currently has enough gold coins to support the operation of Brettel City, but the population cannot be solved in a short time.
I know that there are currently 30,000 to 40,000 mountain people living in your mines. In addition to some miners, there are also more elderly people, women and children. The living environment of the five mines is not ideal. They are all due to the former city lords.
They left Brettel City to live above the mines because of their incompetence. Originally, they had to do this because the safety of Brettel City could not be guaranteed, but now I think Brettel City is very safe. If the five of you don't mind, let them go down the mountain.
Well, there are a lot of empty houses in Brettel City, and they deserve to live in a better environment, what do you think?"
Adelman was greatly moved when he heard what Han Shuo said. He also understood that the life of the people living in the mountains was indeed very difficult. In addition to the various ores in the five mines, there were very few trees, and even more wild beasts.
They have been hunted for food long ago, and the water source is also transported up from the mountain.
The miners on the mountain work day after day in exchange for the food transported by the merchants. In order to prevent the robbers from plundering, the people on the mountain live in the mines without sunlight all year round. If not to ensure their own lives,
Who would want to live like a savage in the mountains without being threatened?
Now the first thing Han Shuo thought of was the poor people on the mountain. This really moved the old Adelman. He knelt down to Han Shuo on the spot. Tears welled up from his eyes and he choked.
: "First of all, on behalf of all the people on the mountain, I would like to thank the Lord of the City for his kindness. I won't say anything more. As long as you can really guarantee their food and clothing and provide them with a stable living environment, even if you want us to hand over
I won't hesitate to leave the mine."
"Old man, please wake up. They are all my people. It is what I should do to give them a good living environment. The five mines are the basis for your survival. They will still be controlled by you in the future. However, although there are
There are abundant siege equipment, but not enough manpower to operate it. Once the regular armies of the seven principalities come to attack the city, I am afraid that our three thousand city guards alone will not be able to handle it even with so much siege equipment.
The only thing I ask of you is that when facing a common enemy, you can work with us to resist. We provide enough siege weapons. If we have enough manpower on the city wall, with the help of Brettel City's
Even the seven principal principalities with strong defenses can't even think of breaking through. I wonder if you are willing to work with me to fight for the safety of all the citizens of Brettel City?"
At this point, there is no longer any barrier. Old Adelman has worked hard all his life to constantly resist the plunder of various principalities and bandit organizations, and to bring a better living environment to the people in the mountains.
There was no conflict between his ideal and Han Shuo's approach at all, so when Han Shuo proposed it, Aardman didn't hesitate at all and immediately shouted to the other three young mountain people leaders: "You three little kids, why don't you agree with me?"
Let’s thank the Lord City Lord for his kindness.”
Hearing that the three young people no longer had any doubts, even Fukarin, who had expressed his confidence in Han Shuo in advance, immediately knelt down on one knee towards Han Shuo and swore to Han Shuo one by one that he would
Fight desperately to defend the safety of Brettel City.
After lifting several mountain people leaders up one by one, Han Shuo said with a smile: "When I went to Tali Mountain last time, I found that Fukarin's weapons and equipment were not sophisticated enough. This time the bandits left thousands of weapons behind.
Armor also takes up inventory space when placed in Brettel City, so I might as well equip it for you."
The five mountain men have worked hard to mine ore for so many years. All the ore they obtained was exchanged for food and other daily necessities from merchants, which was used to maintain the basic life of the elderly, women and children on the mountain. There was no extra gold coins to buy more weapons and armor.
Some people even use crudely made iron rods.
Hearing what Han Shuo said, the leaders of the five mountain men thought of the shining armor of the three thousand city guards along the way, as well as the sharp weapons shining with the cold light, and then compared the shabby status of their men.
In this way, I feel a little flushed.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!" Fokarin was the first to react, and immediately kowtowed once more, exclaiming excitedly.
After Fukarin bowed like this, the other four mountain people leaders also bowed down with sincerity. Each of them was filled with excitement and respect, and looked at Han Shuo with more and more conviction.
"Haha, everyone, please get up. This is just the beginning. I think with the gradual development in the future, Brettel City will have a brighter future!" Han Shuo once again asked the five mountain man leaders to get up and laughed.
Hehe said.
"Wow, hundreds of thousands of gold coins are just gone." Jack, the financial officer, was the only one in the venue, and he cried out in pain. However, amidst the joyful cheers of the crowd, Jack's low cry could not make any waves. www
