The mayor is a fat old man with a beer belly and a somewhat cunning look.
After returning home to understand the situation, he kept looking at Jia Zhengjin and others, and asked: "Do you live in the barren mountains of Liuboer?"
"Yes, Mr. Mayor! We wandered here many years ago due to family upheavals and settled on the barren mountains." Zion replied hurriedly.
"The Liubol Barren Mountain is under the jurisdiction of our town, Flatto."
"Yes, since we have lived here for so many years, we are actually considered your townspeople." Zion said immediately.
"Really? You built a house in a barren mountain without permission, without registration information, and without paying a penny of taxes to the town. You actually dare to come and buy slaves. How brave you are!"
"This..." Zion looked a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
When Jia Zhengjin saw it, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Mr. Mayor, we wandered here and don't know the rules very well. If there are any problems there, you can point them out and we are willing to actively cooperate. After all, we have been here for so many years.
We are considered legal residents of Flatto Town and will definitely abide by any rules in the town. However, we live in the mountains and the products are not very rich. We only have some wild wheat, large-leaf beans and broad-leaf vegetables that are not available on the table. If
Don’t mind it, I promise to send you a few bags every day.”
When the mayor heard this, a slight smile appeared on his face: "Recently, there have been a few delicious foods in the town. It turns out that you are selling them? Are these all produced on the barren mountains?"
"Mr. Mayor, there are only a small amount of wild wild wheat, big-leaf beans and broad-leaf vegetables on the barren mountains," Jia Zhengjin replied. "We spent several years and worked hard to finally find a method of large-scale planting. Although the output is still
It’s limited, but it’s not a problem to bring in a few carts to sell every day.”
"Isn't it just a problem? I see you are making a lot of money from this." The mayor said, "There are also medicines! I heard that Miss Mahi is a junior pharmacist?"
"I'm just a novice pharmacist who can make the most basic physical potions."
"Too modest!" the mayor said, "I have a little knowledge of the basic physical strength potions you sell, and the quality is much higher than other similar potions in the pharmacy. It can be seen that Miss Marcy is very talented in pharmacy.
From whom?”
"Actually, I'm all self-taught."
"Oh? That's even more amazing!" The mayor looked at him many times, then turned to Tina and others, "Miss Marcy and these others don't look like ordinary people?"
"I taught myself low-level magic, and I can barely use fireball and lighting." Jia Zhengjin replied, "I am a novice magician for the time being. They are my guards and have been mercenaries before."
"I see. So, Miss Marcy's identity before she was in trouble was unusual?" the mayor asked curiously, "I wonder where you are from?"
Before Jia Zhengjin could speak, Zion answered first: "Mr. Mayor, our lady is from Albina, the country in the north, and her full name is Mahi Sert."
"The Kingdom of the North, Celtic?" The mayor was stunned when he heard this, "Is he the successor of that heroic city?"
"That's right!"
"Disrespectful!" The mayor's attitude changed instantly, "I didn't expect Miss Mahi to be a descendant of a hero. It's such a great honor to be able to settle in our town of Flato!"
"You're welcome, Mayor. Since we are here, we are ordinary people in your jurisdiction." Jia Zhengjin's mind is full of questions. What is going on with this heroic city and Celtic? Obviously, Princess Mahi cannot be like this.
As for his identity, Zion 100% made up a lie.
The question is, will this lie be exposed? Or will he have a way to maintain it?
"Since you are from the Selt family, this is not a problem!" The mayor had a completely different attitude before and after, "Are you used to living in the barren mountains, and will you register as a town citizen later? Just a simple registration, and the procedures are complete!
"
"The mayor makes arbitrary arrangements, and we don't understand them very well. I'm sorry for causing you any trouble! Anyway, you said, we will fully cooperate!" Jia Zhengjin's attitude was very low.
"It's okay, it's okay. In fact, there are no resources over there in the barren mountains, and the land is also very barren. It's quite impressive that you can farm on such barren land." The mayor said, "Since you are the descendant of a hero, you should take more care of Kubo!
"
"Here!" Hearing his uncle calling his name, Kubo hurried over.
"Take less of the goods brought by Miss Mahi from now on!"
"Mayor, it doesn't matter!" Jia Zhengjin said, "In fact, we have planted a lot, which is completely enough. And now we mainly sell medicines, so it won't be a problem for you to get more here!"
"No, no, no, you are a descendant of a hero. We will try our best to take care of you." The mayor waved his hand and said, "After all, your ancestors sacrificed their lives for the Dawn Front. Later, I heard that the entire family suffered numerous casualties during the war, and some people were even rumored to have been wiped out. Now.
I feel happy knowing that there are still survivors!"
Jia Zhengjin looked back at Zion and thought, is it okay for you to make up your identity randomly like this? Once the other party finds out that we are not the descendants of heroes, it will be extremely suspicious! When the time comes, if the traces are carried out, if the Leisel Empire is found
Identity is a big deal!
Zion obviously knew the worries of "Princess Mahi" and asked her to rest assured with his eyes, ensuring that the secret would not be revealed.
Jia Zhengjin didn't know what he was relying on, but he couldn't think too much at the moment, so he said to the mayor: "Mr. Mayor, we will talk about these things later. We will also fully cooperate and register our identity as soon as possible. However, can we talk about the slave trade?
To be honest, there is currently a shortage of manpower on the mountain and we need to expand manpower as soon as possible for work."
"For work, you can actually hire people from our town."
"Actually, I have thought about it, but it is not very convenient." Jia Zhengjin said immediately, "First of all, the mountain road is steep and it is not too close to the town. It is very inconvenient for ordinary people to go back and forth every day because they have to climb the mountain. I also
It's impossible to give them the carriage, right? Secondly, even if we leave them on the mountain, the barren mountains where I live are definitely unbearable to ordinary townspeople. They might want to escape after living there for a day, not to mention the intensity of work there.
I can't get much wages, and few people are willing to go there. But slaves are different. As long as you buy them, you can do whatever you want without complaining, and you can work no matter how hard or tired you are. You must obey me completely.
.Compared with the two, slaves are definitely more cost-effective, and they are permanent and simpler than hiring."
"Yeah~ That makes sense!" The mayor nodded after hearing this, "It seems that Miss Mahi has thought it through carefully."
"I'm just thinking a lot." Jia Zhengjin smiled and said, "Mr. Mayor, I would like to ask, is there any way you can get someone for me?"
