"Isn't it? The town is getting more and more chaotic now. Those foreigners are really rampant. Someone even blew up the light last night."
"Yes, the security brigade searched it in the middle of the night."
"Have you found who did it?"
"I haven't found it, but I can imagine it with my eyes closed. It must have been done by foreigners, a group of scum on horseback, who have tarnished the virtues of chivalry."
"What kind of knights are they? They are just a group of mercenaries."
When Duke came to buy breakfast early in the morning, he heard someone talking about the light being blown out last night, and the security brigade even searched it in the middle of the night.
Duke went to bed early and heard no sound.
Even if the security brigade comes to search him, he is not afraid. The sand eagle as the murder weapon is a mysterious weapon. If you want to hide it, no one will be able to find it.
Perhaps an arcane mage with unpredictable abilities can penetrate the darkness and find Duke by following the arcane path.
However, the Black Snake family does not have a powerful arcane mage. There is only one high priest who is a level 2 arcane mage. However, in the field of spiritual arcane magic, level 2 is still considered a beginner.
"So, it wasn't me who blew up the bright lamp, it was the mercenaries from outside." Duke felt relaxed as he ate the meat buns.
Cross the alley and walk towards the construction site on Third Vertical Street.
The entire construction site is tightly wrapped by iron fences.
Looking inside through the gaps in the iron fence, you can see countless strange large and small machines busy at work.
There are even large machines like Gundams. The driver wears a Gundam shell and can easily lift boulders weighing more than ten tons.
Use huge stones to ram the foundation, and then use steel bars and cement to pour in the gaps. Such a street can even an airship land stably.
Of course.
Such a solid foundation is not to ground the airship, but to resist possible underground invasion.
After all, there are not only birds in the sky, animals on the ground, fish swimming in the water, and many spiritual beasts that burrow underground. These underground spirit beasts rarely invade human residences, but if you don't fear ten thousand, just in case, really
If invaded, there will definitely be a large number of casualties.
Suddenly.
One of the humanoid Gundams shuddered, then its mechanical body swayed and fell to the ground.
"Giant Puppet No. 3 is malfunctioning. Giant Puppet No. 3 is malfunctioning. Puppet maintenance technicians will immediately come in for repairs!" The peripheral commander immediately shouted with a loudspeaker.
Immediately, a team of puppet maintenance technicians rushed towards the fallen giant puppet No. 3.
At this time, the driver climbed out of the giant puppet's operating cabin. His head seemed to have been smashed and he was bleeding a lot: "Damn, it's the third time. Contact the boss quickly and get a new puppet core for No. 3."
, this guy will knock me to death sooner or later!"
"The puppet core is so expensive. If the boss is willing to replace the puppet core, he might as well buy a new puppet." A puppet maintenance technician joked.
Outside the iron fence.
Duke glanced enviously at the giant puppet that everyone was repairing.
Like spirit cards, puppets are also extraordinary products in the field of spiritual arcana. The Erudite Tower has promoted many puppets to the people.
The spirit card is made up of magic models and has a variety of incredible powers.
The puppet core is composed of a spell model, and is driven by the spiritual gold frame to exert the effect of large-scale construction machinery.
Of course, the puppets on the construction site are all ordinary civilian puppets. The arcane mage can also create arcane puppets, which can do anything in heaven or earth.
"I wish I had a giant puppet. This is more powerful than a bionic exoskeleton." Duke sighed.
But he can't afford it for the time being. The smallest giant puppet is at least dozens of gold dragons in size.
"That spider puppet is not bad either."
He then looked at a spider-shaped puppet in the distance. This puppet has sensitive movements and can climb up and down, as well as drill into water and drill into the ground. It has a multi-functional purpose.
If you have a spider puppet, most chores on the farm can be completed by driving the spider puppet.
"Forget it."
“I can’t afford it.”
Duke withdrew his gaze and left the Third Vertical Street construction site.
When returning along the road, I encountered more than one group of mercenaries. These mercenaries were walking through the streets together, and they were also carrying some prey such as spiritual beasts.
The smell of blood all over his body caused passers-by to dodge.
Duke didn't want to provoke them, so he silently moved out of the way, letting the other party go first, and branched off to another alley - there was no alley in the entire Sheshou Town that he didn't recognize.
Just crossed two streets.
I saw someone climbing over the wall in the alley to go out, carrying a baggage, and disappeared around the corner in a few seconds.
"Thief... the security in this town is getting worse and worse." Duke shook his head. Recently, the Sheshou Town Security Brigade has strengthened patrols, but the effect is not good.
Sheshou Town is called a town, but it actually has a population of more than 100,000, which is equivalent to a small county town.
Now that the development order has been issued, people who want to make a fortune and fish are all coming here, and the security brigade simply does not have enough manpower.
"This war to open up the Cuihai Valley is led by Shenjiao City. I don't know which arcane mage will be entrusted to it in the end."
Twenty or thirty years ago, Mubia, a third-level arcanist, started a war to open up the Black Snake Lair when he grew old, and was entrusted with the title of Black Snake Baron, and the family fiefdom was Snakehead Town.
Now, Baron Mubia of Black Snake has passed away long ago, but the Black Snake family has taken root in Snake Head Town.
Although there is no longer a third-level arcane mage born, relying on Snake Head Suppression has still developed vigorously, and the bloodline heirs are very prosperous.
Basically every pioneering war, especially small-scale pioneering wars, is started by an arcane mage who wants to create a family. This is also the driving force for the Seven Towers Federation to continuously expand into the wild forest, where there are endless resources.
Waiting to grab.
When Duke returned home, he heard someone knocking on the door not long after.
Behind the door is Sally.
"Sister Sally?"
"Boss."
"Call me Duke, I'm no longer your boss."
Duke invited Sally in and asked her why she was here. Sally hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's Levin."
"What's wrong with Levine?"
"He was fired. Rwanka didn't like him and disliked him for being clumsy."
"Who is Rwanda?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you that Rwanda is the nephew of Boss Lucius. Boss Lucius did not manage the Little Sam Shoka store himself, but handed it over to his nephew." Sally shook her head, "Now
Levin is unemployed. He plans to apply for a job at the Ling Mining Company, but it is too dangerous... so..."
Sally continued: "Duke, didn't you buy a farm? I thought you might need to recruit people, so I came over and asked, would you like Levin?"
"Levin wants to come to the farm?"
"Yes, he talks about you every day. You were very nice to Levin when we were in the store, and he always remembers it in his heart."
Although the Levin people are stupid, they are hard-working and uncomplaining. Duke likes this big man very much and has thought about taking him away before.
Now that Levin has been expelled, Duke will naturally not refuse: "Where is Levin now, Sister Sally, please ask him to come to me."
"Okay, Levin is staying at Sister Abi's house for the time being. I will go find him right now...but we can't let him go into the mine. Sister Abi said that if Levin goes into the mine, we will never see Levin again in a few months."
