Beta paused, then continued: "Hisoka, you hired him to deal with us, can you explain what this is all about?" ”

Sitting on the main seat of someone else's house, stilting Erlang's legs, and behind him is a beautiful Shirley, Beta's style, no matter how you look at it, she looks like a gentleman of a big aristocratic family, who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it. But Claude didn't dare to underestimate it, he was calm on the surface, but in fact he scolded in his heart.

He didn't expect that he would be betrayed by Hisoka, and most importantly, the other party actually came to the door so quickly, which made him unprepared at all.

Although he was nervous inside, he was still quite calm on the surface. He said with a gentlemanly smile characteristic of the nobility, "I'm sorry, although I know who Sisoka is, I have never had any dealings with him. If I had to say it, I met at the party a few months ago. ”

"Actually, it doesn't matter if what Hisoka said is true or not." A quill pen on the table where Beta was playing with said, "I think you'll do it." ”

"Your Excellency is too unreasonable to say this." Claude was stunned for a moment, and then said with a gloomy face: "Could it be that the laws in this Bronze Drum City can't bind you?" ”

"Of course, the laws of Bronze Drum City can restrain me, and I don't plan to do anything to you."

Hearing this, Claude breathed a sigh of relief.

But unexpectedly, Beta suddenly said with the old god: "But I can inquire about what kind of property your family has." If it's a shop or something, you may not be able to open it for a long time. In the case of minerals, a large amount of theft may be made during transportation. What is your view on this? ”

Looking at Beta's understated expression, Claude felt aggrieved. This is indeed a common practice among nobles, but the other party does not ask why. Without asking for a reason, or even just relying on the rhetoric of an upstart, he directly tore his face with him. This approach is very arrogant, but it is also very kingly.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Your Excellency is indeed very unreasonable. You just take Sisoka's word for it? ”

"It doesn't matter." Beta put down the quill pen she was playing with and leaned forward slightly. smiled wickedly, but there was an oppressive force that others did not have: "It's still the same sentence, I just believe it!" ”

Claude fell into an ice cave, he never imagined that he would meet such a difficult person. He originally thought that the other party was an outsider, and after coming to Tonggu City, no matter how powerful he was, he would have to hold on to it, after all, this was the strongest spearman in Hollevin. A quasi-legendary-level powerhouse, Glinton's territory.

And he's confident enough to convince Glynton not to help him.

It's just that Claude didn't expect that Glinton didn't help each other because he didn't think Beta would lose at all.

What kind of virtue the son of gold is, what kind of energy he has, Glynton has clearly understood in his dreams. In fact, he really wanted to be the Knight of the Round Table of Beta, but the responsibility of the head of the family was restraining him. So he can't let go of his hands and feet to do what he wants to do.

Crowder is confident and feels like as long as Greenton doesn't make a move. It was not easy for him to deal with the little guy from the Lord, who came from out of town.

It's just that he didn't expect that this outsider would be so difficult and so unreasonable.

He stood silently, looking at Beta with a hint of annoyance in his eyes. But more often than not, it's a sense of shame that your self-esteem has been trampled on.

"If you don't speak, we'll hear it." Beta stood up.

"Wait!" Claude almost popped these two words out between his teeth. His anger endured in his heart, and then he said with difficulty, "What must you do to bring this to justice?" ”

"Reason!" Beta said lightly, "I want to know why you want to do something to our temple and our material sources. ”

"Because of interests."

Beta turned and left. Didn't speak again.

"Wait!" Now Claude was in a hurry.

Beta turned around and said in an unquestioning tone, "You have one more chance, and if the answer disagrees with me, then I think soon the Mick family will become a poor family." ”

Claude's face was very exciting, all kinds of emotions changed on his face, and finally he seemed to be more than ten years old, and said helplessly: "I am a believer in the goddess of fate." There are no other faiths in the Bronze Drum City for the time being, but you have to build a temple here...... So. ”

"I see." Beta nodded: "But it seems that your belief in the goddess of fate is still not enough." It was a matter of his own interests, so he decisively sold the goddess. It seems that you really don't know what kind of temper the gods are. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Claude was in a hurry.

"It's not interesting." Beta smiled: "As a believer in God, but betrayed God for profit. If you're a powerful professional, maybe the gods will turn a blind eye, but you're just a nobleman. Even if they don't punish you personally, when they are free, they will naturally give you a reckoning. ”

Claude smiled uncomfortably: "Your Excellency really likes to joke. ”

"Are you kidding, you'll find out in a while." Beta shook her head: "Tomorrow you can send some compensation to the slums...... The specific number of gold coins is up to you. Of course, if you're not convinced, you can come to me, and I'll do the same. It's just that the next time if revenge fails, the consequences won't be as simple as they are now. ”

Claude didn't speak, he sensed a murderous look in Beta's threat.

Beta smiled, and with obvious contempt, she left the place.

When Beta was gone, Claude unbuttoned his coat and threw it on the ground...... He has lived for decades and has never tried to be so angry. Even more than 20 years ago, when he offended a big man and apologized, he had never tried to be so uncomfortable.

He gasped for a few breaths in place, and by this time the guards had already woken up, and one of them ran over, and was about to ask questions in panic, when he slapped the guard so hard that the corner of his mouth was bleeding, and his own palm was numb.

Beta didn't know how Claude would feel after that, and he didn't want to.

He also spent a lot of time dealing with nobles in the game, and at first he also intended to solve problems in a communicative way, but then he found out. Communication is of no use to the nobles who are high up and above, they don't like you just don't like it, and the only way is to beat them to the bottom.

The most common rule in the world is money first, and violence second.

When he returned to the slums, he found Hisoka staying at Zorro's house with a gift of atonement.

Beta gathered a few of his students and told them that tomorrow everything would continue.

Then he told Joan of Arc to keep an eye on the movements of the Claude family in the sky, lest the creature become angry and try to break the net.

But Claude turned out to be much more timid than Beta had imagined. Although the news of Beta's troubles with the Mick family spread in Bronze Drum City, and many people were secretly laughing at him, he still pretended that nothing had happened.

To a certain extent, a person who can 'endure' is also a kind of talent.

There is not much to write about the days that followed. The construction of the slums continued day by day, the sewers were dug and the stone slabs were paved with paths, and two months passed in a flash.

Once the slums were much changed, the streets were cleaner, and when it rained, there was no more sewage. The sewer drains the sewage directly into the creek elsewhere.

The people in the slums are the ones who have really changed the most. Because every family had someone working for Beta, three or five copper coins bought enough food for the family to eat, and more than half of it was leftover. As a result, the people in the slums are now much more energetic, no longer in the state of starvation and malnutrition they were in two months ago.

Those families with small populations can even save a lot of copper coins to buy a few good clothes for their families. The originally gray slum suddenly had more bright colors.

And Beta has gained a lot of popularity as a result. The favorite thing the laborers did when they were done was to chat with a few of Beta's students.

Because they were also from poor families, a few students could talk to those poor people very well, and these poor people were already full of gratitude to the priests who were willing to work for them, and then under the sincere praise of the students, Beta's popularity directly reached a very high level in the slums.

If you use the terminology of the game, it means that prestige has reached 'respect', and it is not far from worship.

After building the sewers and roads in the slums, Beta began to build the temple.

Because Beta had a lot of money this time, and the place was big enough, he planned to build the temple a little more magnificent. It's not luxurious, but at least it looks big enough...... The floor space should be large, and then the height should be sufficient.

Just as the start of work is about to start...... Greenton sent someone over and said that he was invited to the city lord's mansion for a while, and by the way, he would attend a dinner.

Naturally, Beta took Shirley to the feast.

They arrived at the venue first, and since it was still early for the dinner to begin, Beta sat in Glinton's study, and the two of them chatted casually.

"Now two months have passed." Greenton said with some concern: "But your temple has not been built yet, and in another month, people from other temples will definitely come to pull people, what will you do then?" ”

"It doesn't matter if they come, because they must have the advantage of preaching to the aristocracy." Beta smiled, "Then there are the ordinary citizens, I have enough time to build the temple, and then convert most of the people in the slums into followers of the goddess Waukin." ”

Speaking of the goddess Waukin, Greenton couldn't help but glance at Shirley again.

Beta didn't want to talk about the goddess Waukin, so he changed his mind and asked, "What is the theme of the dinner party to be held?" ”

"Alice's 170th birthday." Greenton sighed in a deep tone: "She's finally an adult. ”

Beta was speechless. (To be continued.) )
