Jinus sat in Arcas's seat with an angry look on his face. Kuroishito stood behind him, with a small stick tied between the fingers of his right hand with gauze. In front of them were six people wearing stone official uniforms.
A gloomy-looking person.
They are the capable men of Arcas, the six managers who govern the ancient city of Stone. After hearing the news about Jinus today, they were called back in a hurry.
They were no strangers to the strangely dressed man in front of them. Ten years ago, this Kinus would have called them uncle and uncle, but now he turned his nose up, sat in Arcas's seat, and ordered
They do things.
This made everyone unhappy. If a person who didn't know anything about Stone Ancient City wanted to govern Stone Ancient City, it was obviously nonsense. These six managers would never let him do whatever he wanted.
"Hmph! You don't know what is good or bad! According to the laws of the Liskar Empire, when Uncle Arcas is away, I am the person in charge of the ancient Stone City. If you disobey my orders, I also have the right to remove you!"
Jinus rolled his eyes, then pretended to be nonchalant and turned his head to look at the deer head on the wall.
Although the ancient city of Stone belongs to the Liska Empire in name, in fact the Liska Empire has no right to interfere with Stone's affairs. This is not because of how powerful Stone is, but because of the Dragon Boat Empire and the Luas Empire.
.
Both empires wanted to take the city, and neither wanted the other to have it. After a long struggle, the two countries, which had tense relations, banned trade between the two sides. However, the new magic technology of the Longzhou Empire required high-energy magic.
Crystals serve as energy sources, and the Luas Empire ranks first in the world in terms of production and quality of magic crystals.
However, the Luas Empire, which focuses on traditional magic, does not have the technology to extract a large amount of magic power from the air like the Dragon Boat Empire. Magic crystals are not suitable for daily use, so the Luas Empire needs to purchase magic storage from the Dragon Boat Empire. The two countries do not have the same technology.
No trade agreement was reached, but a strange tacit trade agreement was reached. The Dragon Boat Empire temporarily stored the goods in Stone Warehouse, and traded with Luas in the name of Arcas, and the currency of the transaction was magic crystal.
Therefore, it is Arcas's main job to please the two countries. This transaction, like most of Stone's goods, is carried out secretly, so it will not be classified as tax. However, Jinus does not know these things and is cautious.
Arcas would not tell his secret to a man capable of taking on a great responsibility.
Barlow, the manager who took over the finance, frowned. Before Arcas came back, he had to stop Jinus from doing anything wrong.
"My uncle Arcas is a man who doesn't know how to gain. The ancient city of Stone was originally an ancient town with a long history, but it was ruined by this group of greedy businessmen. Countless businessmen made a fortune here, but
No one knows how to be grateful. So, I decided to collect the debt they owed and I want to build a beautiful and charming Stone City!"
After Kinus finished speaking, he rummaged for something on the messy table, but did not find the white paper and pen he wanted. He opened the drawer, only to find that there was only a pack of eaten biscuits, and cockroaches ran out.
.
"Oh my God, my uncle is an old fool. Come on, what on earth is he doing? You have also seen that my uncle has reached the stage of retirement. I have learned a lot of knowledge about running an empire from the academy, so I
He can definitely become a better leader than Uncle Arcas. You think so, Kuroishito."
Hearing this, the strong man standing behind Jinus nodded and said, "This is of course, Lord Jinus."
However, many of the six managers rolled their eyes. There was nothing convincing about him.
"Then let me make it clear that from now on, all merchants who enter the city need to pay city fees, and those who drive horse-drawn carriages must pay road usage fees based on the weight of their goods. This fee will be used for renovation and dilapidated houses, you old guys
Just wait and see, I will give the ancient city of Stone a new look, and it will be called the new city of Stone from now on."
After hearing what Jinus said, the financial manager Barlow's eyes widened in fright. City entry fee? Fee based on weight? Isn't this a blatant provocation to the Dragon Boat Empire and Luas Empire? This is looking for death!
"No! Stone's situation is more complicated than you think, you can't do this!"
Barlow said loudly.
Hearing this, Jinus smiled and said: "It's useless for you to object, I am the decision-maker!"
Barlow looked at Jinus. His eyes showed no emotion, anger or sorrow, but gave people a sense of oppression.
Suddenly, Jinus showed an interesting expression. He put his hands on the table, opened his eyes wide, and said sarcastically: "I guess you must be thinking of some bad ideas, such as pretending to promise me, but actually leaving me
What you said is nonsense, you don’t follow my orders, and you want to make me feel empty, right?”
"Nothing, I just want you to think carefully and understand the situation before defining it."
Barlow replied.
Kinus smiled and said: "No need to pretend, you old foxes, my uncle Arcas doesn't know your little tricks, but I know very well, Barlow, how much money have you embezzled over the years?
What a bad thing."
Hearing this, Barlow frowned, and he finally couldn't help but got angry: "Arcas wouldn't even talk to us like this! Who are you!"
In an instant, Jinus's face turned cold, his eyes became ferocious, and Kuroishido behind him showed obvious murderous intent.
"Who am I? Humph, then I'll tell you with my actions what I am. You thought I came here as two people. Do you know that the things I caused were just to attract you old guys?
Look, my people have come in openly a long time ago, but you didn't notice it at all."
The six people immediately realized that this kid actually planned to eradicate them all! How could he have such courage!
"You dare!"
Barlow roared angrily that he couldn't believe Arcas's useless nephew dared to do such a thing.
However, the other party really dared to do so.
Jinus's eyes showed a fierce light, and he ordered with a smile: "Destroy them for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kuroishido suddenly opened his mouth wide and rushed forward with a loud cry. These old men were no match for him. They were all knocked to the ground and unable to move.
"From now on, this is my city, Jinus."
As he spoke, Jinus looked at the manager on the ground and shouted: "Here comes someone!"
Then several guards hurriedly ran in. When they saw these big shots lying on the ground, they were instantly frightened.
"Throw them to jail and leave."
The guards didn't know what to do. You looked at me and I looked at you. At this time, Kuroishihu shouted, "Go!" It was like seeing rocks exploding and thundering. They were so frightened that they hurriedly carried the people on the ground out.
"Very good! Kuroishido, you will be my right-hand man from now on, and I will leave the security of the city to you."
Hearing this, Kuroishihu knelt on one knee and shouted: "Yes! Lord Jinus!"
"One more thing." Jinus said, he gently wiped his swollen right eye with a handkerchief.
"Find out that stinky woman who beats people! I want her to kneel in front of me and beg for mercy!!"
"Okay! I'll do it right away!"
After saying that, Kuroishito left the room directly.
