274. People get his help

Lord Nwaebili didn't know where the girl's confidence came from, but without them, his freedom would still be restricted by the minions of the nobles.

"Do you have any friends or enemies you would like to recommend? Viscount Khamis." Gulian asked.

"Alvarez, the richest local businessman." Viscount Hamis didn't want others to take a share of the pie, but he didn't care. "The relationship with me is pretty good."

"That miser..." Lord Nwaebili snorted, not liking the person mentioned by Viscount Khamis. "I don't think he would agree and take the initiative to provide supplies."

"I will find a way to convince him. If that doesn't work..." Viscount Hamis looked at Lu Li and Anna.

Viscount Hamis left the mansion to contact his friends. The city lord went to the city lord's palace, gathered the guards before more nobles could react, and sent a confidant to follow Lu Li to deliver the news.

During this period, Lu Li returned to the hotel. People gathered in the living room and talked about what to do next - they didn't even have a place to stay.

Lu Li told them that they would migrate to the Cape of Storms, and it was hard for people to disagree.

They had a blind trust in Lu Li, and compared to Spin City, Storm Point was at least less likely to starve to death.

Lu Li crushed a stone badge and called the merchant to come.

"What's the population of Spin City?" Lu Li asked the city lord's cronies.

"...People are leaving all the time, and now there are less than 20,000."

So Lu Li bought a hundred boxes of canned pork from the merchant. Now, the merchant agreed and asked to vacate an empty warehouse with no one around.

The city lord's cronies made arrangements to transfer a vacant warehouse in the west of the city to Lu Li.

The merchant appeared half an hour later and told Lu Li that the goods had been delivered. The guards guarding outside the warehouse also quickly ran over and said that the warehouse was full of wooden boxes.

No one knows how the merchant delivered a hundred boxes of cans.

In addition to the cans, the merchant also updated the evil spirit broadcast for Lu Li. In addition to the original silence, the shadow of the stolen fire, and the visible sound, there are new whispers of the approaching people of suffering, as well as the sound of evil spirits approaching.

Sizzling noise.

"Evil spirits will warn you when they appear around you, but you can't tell them apart," the businessman said.

Lu Li watched the evil spirit broadcast and remained silent.

At this time, Anna curiously took the evil spirit broadcast, which was still a square box the size of a fist: "Can the evil spirit know it?"

The evil spirit broadcast was silent.

"No." the businessman replied.

After the transaction was over, the businessman left the hotel. Anna returned the evil spirit broadcast to Lu Li. Lu Li asked the city lord's cronies to send more people to guard the warehouse, and a group of young adults composed of those rescued by the village headed to the city lord's mansion.

Viscount Hamis is back, as is Alvarez, a wealthy businessman who was moved by it - a bloated man wearing a wig whose clothes are inlaid with luxurious gold threads.

There was a hint of doubt in his respect for Lu Li and Anna. He believed what Viscount Hamis said, because Viscount Hamis was the noble who most firmly opposed migration. But he suspected that the so-called "power" was just some kind of trick.

Ana casually lifted Alvarez and let him hover in the air, which dispelled his suspicion.

"I only have more food than Viscount Hamis, but I have a lot of money," Alvarez said, puffing out his belly when he talked about the money.

The food and one hundred boxes of cans "donated" by Alvarez and Viscount Hamis were barely enough for people to survive this journey.

Anna asked them to continue to win over the rich and nobles. Not only for food, but they would also face less resistance when leaving at dawn.

"early morning?"

Lord Nwaebili was stunned. He thought he would prepare for the whole day and then migrate early the next morning.

"We don't have that much time," Anna said.

"Okay...but the plan needs to be changed." Lord Nwaebili liked this kind of vigorous and resolute behavior.

He gathered all the guards and the personal escorts of Alvarez and Viscount Hamis and ordered them to go and inform the residents.

Hundreds of soldiers dispersed, holding torches and knocking on doors from house to house at night.

The residents opened the door anxiously, and the night chill and bright firelight flooded into the house. They were told by the guards to move to Storm Point early tomorrow morning. There were large houses and enough food there. At the same time, they could get a canned pork at Nancheng Gate.

So unlike the usual quiet nights, tonight's Spin City is particularly lively.

In order to impress Lu Lianna, Alvarez spent money to buy all the food available in the Spin City and hired the only two exorcists in the Spin City.

But they are not professional exorcists, they are just ordinary people with some means of exorcism.

Until late at night, Alvarez and Viscount Hamis recruited some more nobles, but only five were willing to donate all the food, and the rest were only willing to follow or help them with some small favors that would not cost them anything.

There were also some nobles who were unwilling to leave. The bad-tempered Alvarez scolded them as a group of conservative and outdated people who should be buried with the city.

Surprisingly, these nobles and wealthy people who had participated in controlling the lord of Nwa Ebili City became harmonious with him and even respected him - unlike them, donating food and money would not leave them with nothing.

But the most precious thing about Nwa Ebili is his status as the city lord. He is nothing without Spin City.

"What's the use of a title of city lord if all my people are dead?" said the city lord Nwaebili.

Lu Li and others gathered with the nobles and wealthy people at the city lord's mansion, waiting for dawn to arrive.

It's five o'clock, forty minutes before dawn.

The streets became lively. Once again the guards went to inform the residents.

Adult men may be able to walk the distance of 130 miles, but it is difficult for women, the elderly, and children to do so. The earlier they set off, the more likely they are to reach Stormwind City before dark.

When Lu Li and others arrived at the city gate, the place was crowded with people with their families, and wooden boxes filled with cans and food donated by rich nobles were piled beside the city gate.

Lord Nwa Ebili shouted something, and then introduced Lu Li to the people, saying that he was the driving force behind the relocation plan.

People's cries of gratitude made the Spin City boil. Lu Li looked at Anna: "But this is your plan."

"I am a ghost, and there is no point in seeking fame, but you are different." Anna blinked, and the white and transparent hand under her sleeves held Lu Li's hand.

More and more people gathered on the streets. At dawn, a group of cavalry galloped away from the Spin City. They carried a letter from the Lord of Nwa Ebili and wanted to rush to the Cape of Storms first.

The migration begins when the sky becomes brighter and torches are no longer needed.

The people first received a ration, and then took the cans handed over by the guards with sawdust still stuck on the surface, and walked out of the revolving city happily. The people in the back stood on tiptoes and watched the people in front of them receive them.

One hundred boxes of cans are piled up into a hill, so people don't have to worry about not being able to get them.
