"I know... Forget it, I can't beat it." He did know that there was a duke who might be involved with some cults, but he was a duke, not to mention the standing army, and his knights could take him for whatever he wanted. The down-and-out nobles hang up and beat them.

"Pray to the gods or collect donations from the people?" the nun tentatively replied.

"Call for donations, but everyone refuses to pay."

"Then find a few big households to take the lead, and then return their money in full, and the other people's money will be split?"

"Why only seventy percent?"

"Seventy percent belongs to others. After all, it's more interesting to lend the money to you than to lend it to you for such a set of interest. It depends on the situation whether you want to get the [-] percent."

"o...Forget it, let me think about it again." The little count could only ask other people. The veteran suggested that he simply send troops to take down the academy city. If I can beat down Academy City, I'm still fighting this damn town here.

The antique dealer is willing to pay for some of the cultural relics he has recovered, but unfortunately, this is no different from selling property while sitting on the mountain; the wanderer suggested that he can learn from the advanced experience of the robbers and organize mercenaries to go on the road. Pirates.

The most reliable ones are dog trainers and hunters. They suggest that you can attack the manor in advance. There are many relics of nobles there, and you may be able to make a lot of money. It is a one-time acquisition.

In the end, when the little count asked the leper swordsman, the latter listened to him quietly, and then thought for a while, "How bad are you?"

"I'm not short of cash, but the difference between taxes and expenses is too big, and this savings will be burned out soon."

"How much is the difference in the total price of the project?" The leper swordsman asked calmly.

"At least... tens of thousands of gold coins?"

"Oh, it's really a bit much, um...you plan to complete the construction in the near future. With all due respect, this kind of project should be completed in 20 or 30 years, and it may even not be completed until your grandson's generation."

In that case, the annual fee would only be a few thousand gold coins, and if it was delayed to the grandson's generation, it might be several hundred gold coins.

For the Earl, who theoretically earns 3000 gold coins a year, this load is very low. Of course, if it is not possible, he can still owe the mason's salary or something.

"Yes, you have also seen that monsters are everywhere. If you don't expand the town and strengthen your defenses, it will be difficult to gain a foothold."

"Then I can lend you some, I still have some... assets." The leper swordsman said in a low voice. He used to be a king, of course he has assets, and he still has a lot of assets. However, he also understood the little earl's concerns after being a king.

The investment is too large, and the tax revenue is all in the red. If he was in office, he would have to worry about losing his hair.

"That's unnecessary. If you don't solve this problem, you can't borrow every time." Baldwin shrugged and said nothing. This nobleman has feelings similar to his, which is already a rare wealth and treasure. .

"So, you went around and came back with nothing?" Xiao Snack ate the dried pork and said that he had no good idea. "Let's discuss the matter of breaking the slums." Saving costs and allowing quarries and iron mines to resume operation can greatly reduce project costs.

Moreover, a simple cable car system can be built to transport stones down from the mountain, instead of pulling iron and stone from a dozen miles by horse-drawn cart.Although sandstone and marble can be used to demolish the ruins, fragile limestone and other stone materials have to be purchased from big cities and transported.

"What's in there?"

"Pigmen and some disgusting things, this time you really can't use the army o" The army needs to be used to fight those things in the bay, and the report from the scout is that hell in the bay... there are a lot of half-human half-fish They all have metal equipment and even armor, so they can only be pushed with troops, and adventurers will probably be hammered badly.

"reason?"

"Five scouts went, and four came back crazy." This is the price of going to the slums, which can only be described as hell of flesh and blood.

"I have a suggestion for you"

"Speaking?"

"Take three times the cost of hiring an adventurer, make it all into dynamite, and then level the entire sewers and slums with counterweight trebuchets and dynamite packs." Checked over there, there are disgusting black magic ones The taste and traces of the ceremony, it can be determined that it is not the opponent's magic power supply point, but an output point, which means that there is the opponent's follower card and the like, not the land card type.

Therefore, it is the best way to directly use the explosives and stone bombs.

"This oooooo can do it?"

"It's a slum anyway, you don't think there are artworks or treasures in it, do you?

JJ

"It also makes sense." The little earl is not a guy who is full of adventure. He invited adventurers before because he had no money, no connections, and no knowledge of military affairs.

But now, the veteran is a qualified commander, and Raymond is also a qualified knight and martial arts instructor. Disma can guarantee that most of the time, the channel for selling stolen goods will not be a problem. own role.

Of course, if you can push it, you don’t need to take risks. The cost is low. Obviously, the little earl doesn’t know that there are a lot of treasures in the slums. Those pigmen ransacked the manor and the former town, and hoarded a lot. Junk and good stuff.

A few days later, on the flat ground far away from the slums, several counterweight trebuchets were completed. "The burning potion I prepared is very useful." Little Earl patted those bottles and cans, and the little count only Can take what she said is true.

The craftsman dipped a stone ball into the potion, and then put it into the brazier. The blue flames quickly turned the stone red, and then put it into the iron hemispherical thrower.

Then, the birch was knocked down, and the heavy weight fell to the ground. Under the principle of leverage, the red-hot stones fell towards the slums like meteors.

"Boom!" There was a puff of smoke, and under the continuous bombardment, the flames soon began to spread in the slums. The burned pigs were completely unaware of where these attacks came from, and the dense slum buildings blocked them. Their sight, and the thick smoke and flames after they were ignited made them run around until they exhausted their energy and were engulfed by the flames.

"You see, this is the best way to clean up." "It can only be done in the slums." The little count sighed, and the preservation of treasures and inheritance must be considered in other places.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The flames burned for three whole days, and the entire sky was illuminated red by the flames. The pigmen burned to death by the flames would not produce any magic power, and their flesh and soul would turn into neutral magic power. Not only that, Other cultists and other monsters hiding in the corners of the slums also turned into a handful of fly ash, which also represented the restoration of the town's stone supply.

The output of high-quality marble has largely alleviated the financial crisis of the little earl. Not only has the cost dropped, but it also means that marble can be mined as a commodity trade. The original family wealth is not simply accumulated by collecting rent from land cultivation up

O

In fact, there are iron mines and stone mines, as well as an ocean port. This is the real big income of the town. It is impossible to make a fortune in this kind of barren soil by farming.

"Out of money again? How much do you owe me?" Xiao Xiao was speechless. Simply put, the Earl wants to organize an army to retake the port. In this way, the territory is under his control except for the manor and the mansion. down.

"This is the last time." For the last time indeed J because after taking down the bay, there is nothing left for the army to solve, whether it is the maze of horrors under the ancient mansion, or the evil manor soaked in blood. , can only recruit the most elite adventurers to form a small team assault.

"Okay, it's the last time." Xiaoxiao opened the backpack helplessly, and took out a large pile of gold coins. These are pure gold coins, which can be converted into about twice the gold coins in the hands of the little count.

"Since it's an active attack, why are you building towers and castles?"

White piece c" Earl looked bitterly. He went crazy. How could it be possible to run away?

To live in that terrible old mansion, of course it is a small town. In the future, that ancient mansion will simply be blown up with a trebuchet, and then hundreds of workers will be hired to seal it up with cement and stones.

I have to say, this is really the true meaning of the story of the restraint system. Who the hell is a serious person to deal with those evil and weird things, pretending not to see it, sealed with reinforced concrete, completely turning a blind eye and hearing nothing!

As for the crap like the awakening of the evil god, is there something wrong with the mind of a creature with a lifespan of less than 100 years who cares about the crap that will happen a few hundred thousand years later?And the Earl obviously intends to do this, but before sealing it, he still needs to organize adventurers to go deep into the underground labyrinth, because o...

"Sealing it down is indeed a very wise approach, but I don't recommend it, because I have to go down, and if you want to get my sponsorship, you have to meet my requirements, right?" Xiao Xiao said, she had to go deep inside to be able to Get that damn blockade off.

"Well, if you insist on going down." The original earl had no choice, after all, he had no sponsor and no money, but now, if he finds a sponsor, after solving all the problems on the surface, he directly pulls hundreds of tons of cement and The mud and sand come over and seal up the old manor and the mansion, which is what a decent person does.

A few days later, new mercenaries came along the station. Although the seniors had warned that the opponents here were not something humans should deal with, the juniors always refused to believe it.Of course, they also brought a lot of consumption and civilians serving this kind of mobile army, and some of them also chose to temporarily settle in the small town.

When there are too many people, it will naturally become a bit crowded, and when the environment is crowded, there will be things like defecating everywhere, so Xiaoxiao and Zhaoxia had to go camping with the dog trainer.

It's just that the latter doesn't want to be with these two guys at all, because he scares his precious dog, and a creature with dragon blood already makes the dog very nervous, plus a humanoid dragon sitting on the side, that one The very brave hound (the old gods dared to bite) seemed a little restless.

"Get some?" Xiaoxiao is proficient in how to deal with dogs, and took out a piece of cooked fish-like thing and shook it in front of the hound. The latter seemed a little hesitant and hesitant, looking up at the dog trainer, "Eat Well, it won’t eat food from strangers.” The dog handler took the piece of grilled salmon and threw it to his hound.

The latter quickly swallowed the fat piece of meat, and the feeding behavior gave the hound a little trust in the humanoid monster. After all, the oldest dog thought the same thing when he saw a tall and powerful creature like a human being—these two legs The beast has a lot of food and a warm campfire, so what does it matter if you get closer?

"By the way, what kind of meat is this?" the dog handler asked. It looked like some kind of red meat, but it was less like beef and more like octopus.

"I don't know, probably an octopus."

"Where did you get it?"

"Near the cemetery in the town, I picked it up on the ground." Although strictly speaking, it grew on the ground, but Xiaoxiao felt that it was no different from the one he picked up, so he took out a knife and planed it out to roast.

After passing the divine magic appraisal, the answer she got was: it can be eaten, but she has never tried the taste, and she is going to find a dog to try it out. No, the dog trainer has a group of dogs here.

"Why is there an octopus?" The dog trainer was at a loss, but since the town is near the sea, it should be an octopus caught by someone in the town, and it accidentally fell there, right?

It may also be simply spoiled, discarded, a dog trainer who used to be a sheriff in a big city until some people like to eat seafood, and seafood is perishable. For those rich people, once the taste is not right, they will throw away.

And many poor people go back to pick up these foods, and the high-protein seafood rots very fast, and the poor people who eat it often die of food poisoning, which becomes a headless case in the public security station. He has investigated many such cases. At first, he thought It was poisoned by someone, and it was finally found that they ate something that should not be eaten.

However, the dog trainer knows that there is no problem for dogs to eat these foods, and even for dogs, this kind of mildly rotten high-protein food is easier to digest.

"I still have a lot here."

"Lost a lot? Wouldn't it be completely rotten?"

"At least I think it's quite fresh."

"That's strange... o..." The dog trainer seemed to have committed an occupational disease, and began to think about the loopholes or unusual places in it.

"What the hell, anyway, I've tested it, it's not poisonous, it's edible, do you want to try it?"

"No thanks, I don't really like sharing food with strangers either."

"Don't we know each other?" Xiao Xiao poked the bonfire with a branch.

"To me, this is a stranger." The dog trainer shook his head, took out a pack of dog food biscuits from his bag, and began to feed his dog.

"Are these hounds?"

"No, a police dog, an abandoned police dog." The dog trainer said, his eyes became a little dim, just like himself, a dog that was randomly abandoned by the superior.

"Oh, I remember that police dogs are not allowed to be petted." Xiao Xiao rubbed the dog's head leaning towards him.

"It's normally like this..." The dog trainer hesitated to speak, judging from his dog's subtle fear reaction, it was difficult to say whether these two people were not simple, or whether they were human.

"Wangwangtian" Gouzi let out a fierce roar, and then the grass shook for a while, "Zhaoxia!"

"I know, my lord!" The girl quickly disappeared in place.A few minutes later, she came back with a tied tight dick, looking hard to tell the difference between male and female, her face was covered with dirt, her short hair was covered with dirt and grass blades, from the marks on her body

Looking at it, it is obvious that she made a futile resistance to Zhaoxia, and then was ruthlessly suppressed

O

"who are you?"

"Woohoo!" The captured little man whined like a beast, and his exposed arms were covered with burns and scars left by the branding iron.

"Son, you..." The dog trainer got up and was about to walk over, but was grabbed by Xiao Xiao, who stared indifferently at the seemingly tormented person.

For this kind of stranger who appeared in the campsite, there is nothing wrong with seeing a detection camp and throwing it over. Then, it turns red and black, no matter how weak and pitiful she looks, it means that she or he is completely out of his own subjective will , not being compelled or coerced into committing intolerable crimes, and... more than once.

"Zhaoxia, tie her up tighter."

"No problem, my lord!"

"you……."

"This guy is a man full of evil, are you sure?"

"Where did you see it?" The dog trainer frowned, a little confused, Xiao Xiao could tell that this was a criminal from his body.

"Some kind of Niusi special spell, although it cannot determine whether a person is evil or good, at least it can determine whether he is a criminal." The detection camp is still quite limited, and it can only detect whether the other party has made a move Evil deeds cause the alignment to favor evil.

But I can't be sure whether this person is born evil or caused by other reasons, so I need to assist other means to check, it's just that some newcomer paladins are too superstitious about the effect of this magic, and then they all tasted the price and bitter fruit .

"Is there such a spell?" This is something I have never heard of, or in so-called magic, it is difficult to understand that there is such a thing used to demonstrate justice.

"Yes, did you say it yourself, or shall I help you?" Xiaoxiao squatted down, drew a simple symbol with her fingers, and quickly captured the mind of the person in front of her.
