Liang Lidong drove around the most prosperous places in the city with the internal affairs system, and then sat in a rather luxurious tavern.

Because it is an important commercial town, not only are there many merchants coming and going in Sicia, but also the nobles of other cities will come here for sightseeing, playing, and even buying some valuables for their own needs. Because there are many dignitaries and nobles who come, luxury taverns should be conceived.

Different from the noisy and noisy bustle of ordinary taverns, it is very quiet, the space in each box is large, the tables and chairs are made of fine cold wood, this wood will naturally exude a peculiar fragrance after drying, and this wood is pale gold, and there is a hint of white texture, which does not require any processing at all It is an excellent luxury.

The furniture is made of cold wood, and any low chair can be exchanged for several cheap lives, and all the wood of this hotel, including the beams, is made of cold wood. From the outside, you can see that the whole tavern is a pale gold, and then there are white curved lines dotted in it, how tall and tall it looks.

Such an inn, not to mention the commoners, even the merchants with a lot of money did not dare to set foot easily, and without the invitation of the nobles, they could only wander outside this tavern.

It's not so much a tavern, but it's actually a manor. Liang Lidong sat in front of the window on the third floor, looking at the nobles who were socializing in the courtyard below.

Although the two sides were far apart, he could still hear the voices of the nobles talking, which were then collected, filtered, and filtered by the internal affairs system. By the evening, the internal affairs system had already listed some values of Siciali City, and also gave several internal affairs policies that were being implemented, and one of them aroused Liang Lidong's interest.

The city of Sisiari is planning to build a new large temple of light in the center of the city. Construction will begin in a month, but not many people know about it yet.

Liang Lidong frowned, a little moved, to build a large temple, a large amount of stone must be needed, and the terrain around Sisiari City is dominated by plains. There are very few quarries, and even if there is, they are small hills, and they don't produce much stone, and if you want to build a large temple, you must buy stone from other cities, and the heavy stone must be transported from other cities, and the price must be very high.

Therefore, the price of the stone produced in the quarries around the city of Siciali will definitely increase, and the stones from these small quarries will be mined when they are finished. The person in charge of the construction of the Temple of Light will consider going to other cities to buy building stones.

I don't know if anyone thought of this, buy those small quarries in advance, Liang Lidong plans to ask, if no one buys it, and the price is more reasonable, he plans to buy one or two, as long as the temple is built. can make a lot of money.

After paying the fee for two gold coins, Liang Lidong left the tavern. Back at the hotel where he was staying, Kyle and the other three were already waiting for him in his room.

"Teacher, we've built our own mercenary squad." Kyle happily took out his mercenary crest, which was the symbol of the Twin Goddesses of the Shield: "Our team is called the Knights of the Round Table, and on the registration information, you are the captain." ”

Mercenaries...... Liang Lidong received a coat of arms. With a nostalgic look, when the game was launched, he was a rookie, following his cousin, and grew into a well-known figure in the server little by little. And now, it's his turn to lead a few rookie mercenaries to 'fight the world', it's really feng shui in turn!

The position of captain is generally hung on the strongest person, it stands to reason that Emma's strength on the surface is much higher than that of Liang Lidong, and the position of captain should be hung on her body, after all, she is a LV12-level saintess, although the offensive power is insufficient, but with the basic attack magic skills, as well as a large number of auxiliary magic, she has been able to walk sideways in the human world.

But Kyle was in the mercenary union, and when the staff asked what the captain's name was, what came out of him was Liang Lidong's name, whether it was him, Alice, or even Emma, there was no doubt about it.

"You will go to the mercenary guild tomorrow to accept the task, Emma, although you are the youngest, your 'experience' is much richer than the two of them, you should know very well what level of tasks they can accept, so tomorrow you are directly responsible for leading them."

Emma thought for a moment and nodded.

Kyle seemed excited, it had always been his dream to become a mercenary, and now that his dream had begun to set sail, it was almost a dream for him.

After dinner, the four of them went back to their rooms to sleep.

The next day, just before dawn, Kyle and the others set off, in fact, Kyle was so excited that he didn't sleep all night, and got up before dawn to prepare his equipment.

After Liang Lidong had a leisurely breakfast, he went to the commercial club, there are mercenary unions in this world, there are killer unions, and naturally there will be commercial clubs.

Of course, the status of the commercial club is far inferior to the first two, after all, the merchant is not very popular with the upper class many times, although the street office building of the commercial club is splendidly repaired, and there are people coming and going in front of the door, but there is not a single nobleman.

Therefore, the arrival of Liang Lidong scared many people.

The director of the commercial club personally received him, it was a middle-aged man who looked exquisite, with a very white complexion, blonde hair and blue eyes, this appearance is generally a nobleman, Liang Lidong estimated that he should be a descendant of a declining aristocracy, in order to revive the glory of his ancestors, he had to become a businessman.

Sure enough, as soon as the middle-aged man opened his mouth, there was a unique tone of aristocracy in it. When most nobles speak, they like to control their tone, and over time it has evolved into a more unique tone of speech, which is easy to distinguish nobles from commoners.

"Your Excellency, please have your first name." The middle-aged man bent down slightly, and then asked Liang Lidong to sit down.

The furniture in the commercial club is inlaid with gold and silver, and it will be dazzling when you look at it, compared with yesterday's tavern full of cold wood, it is too cheap, not only in terms of value, but also in terms of art, and connotation is thrown out of the distance of eight streets.

The luxurious layout of the commercial club, which scares ordinary people, and businessmen who have little insight are okay, in front of the aristocracy, it is simply a joke.

Liang Lidong sat on the chair and replied softly, "You can call me Beta." ”

"Lord Beta. It's a pleasure to meet you, I don't know if you came to our business club, what is the important thing? If we can help, please do whatever we ask, and we'll do it for you for free. ”

For a business club, any nobleman is a troublesome customer. Because these people not only have a high status, but also have strange requirements, if things don't go well, the commercial club will have to apologize to them, but they can't refuse the requests of the nobles, so many times, the people in the commercial club are extremely depressed when they see a noble servant coming to the door.

And aristocrats like Liang Lidong, who came to the door in person. Rarely, unless there is a special business requirement that is difficult to explain to outsiders.

No one doubts that Liang Lidong is not a nobleman, that hair color, and that temperament, and most importantly, he is still a spellcaster, such a person, it is strange that he is not a nobleman.

"It doesn't need to be free. Just follow the rules. Liang Lidong knew why the middle-aged president would ask for free, and he knew how low the status of merchants was in the eyes of the aristocracy: "I need to buy one or two small quarries. Can you help me get in touch and see if there are any owners willing to sell. ”

As the president of the commercial club, the middle-aged man has a very keen sense of business, and he naturally knows that the city of Sisiari is preparing to build a large temple of light recently, and the price of stone will definitely increase greatly after a while...... Not many people know about this news, but those who know are already taking action. So it's almost impossible to find a quarry at the right price.

The middle-aged man explained the reason, and then said apologetically: "Your Excellency Beta, there is really nothing we can do about this, the quarry is now in the hands of those well-informed nobles. ”

Liang Lidong nodded. didn't care, in fact, before he came, he had already considered this possibility, and just came with the idea of seeing if there was a chance. He stood up and was about to leave, when the middle-aged president spoke again.

"Your Excellency, please stay, there is actually a place in the quarry that no one has acquired." The middle-aged businessman suddenly remembered something, and then spoke.

Liang Lidong was a little puzzled: "Oh? The quality of the stone from that quarry is not good? ”

"The quality is pretty good."

"Is that the quarry owner is asking too much?"

"The price is very low, the quarry has the owner's land, and he plans to sell the manor together, and the quarry and the manor will only cost three hundred gold coins."

Three hundred gold coins is a lot of money, but if you can buy a small quarry and a manor, it's a bargain.

"What's the reason for that?"

The middle-aged president hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "That quarry and manor originally belonged to the Taote family, but three years ago, I don't know why, the Taote family disappeared one after another, and then their bodies were found near the family quarry, and the blood in the whole body was sucked up and became dried corpses, and the remaining people, I don't know why, they got a serious illness with pus all over their bodies, and now the people of the Taote family are dying, only a young son is left, and there is a maid who has been trained since childhood." But the two of them are dying now. ”

"Oh, go on, I'm interested." Liang Lidong sat down again.

"When the Taute family found that the clan died near the quarry, they spent a lot of money to invite the people of the Temple of Light to exorcise evil spirits, and then no one was sucked to death again, but they were infected with a serious illness of pus, although they looked for the priest of the Temple of Light every day for treatment, but they could not be cured, just like that, the people of the Taute family slowly died almost, and the priest of the Temple of Light because of too much contact with them, there were also two people infected with sepsis, although they were barely cured later, but their appearance was also ruined, since then, No one dared to help the Taut family anymore. ”

"The youngest son of the remaining Taute family, every day to go to the mercenary union to buy a spa scroll, to treat himself and the maid, the mercenary union people threw the scroll far into the yard of the Taute family, and definitely did not dare to approach, although they barely lived, but the sepsis has not been cured, the magic scroll is very expensive, more than two years, the Taute family has been defeated, and now for treatment, the youngest son of the Taute family said that he would sell the quarry and the manor, but no one dared to take it over. More than a year ago, his original fiancée also broke the engagement and left him. ”

"What's the name of the youngest son of the Taut family?"

"Joshua Taut."

A good name, a person who is extraordinary when you hear it. Liang Lidong thanked the president for the information, and then left the business club. He came to Dongxiao, and according to the middle-aged president, Tauter's manor was in this area.

There are many people in Sisiari City, but there are really no people who dare to come over in this area, and Liang Lidong found that there were people who were close to here, and even there was horror in his eyes.

Walking along the somewhat deserted stone path, Liang Lidong quickly walked to the front of a manor. The outfield of the manor is surrounded by a white stone wall about four meters high, and the stone wall is overgrown with weeds, which must have been untended for a long time.

The entrance to the manor was a tall iron gate, but it was rusty and the original color could not be seen. The door was lightly closed, and Liang Lidong gently pushed it open and walked in.

The weeds in the manor garden have grown wildly, almost swallowing up the stone path of the garden, and the only sound in this place is insects, birds and the breeze blowing, and there is no sound at all, and the silence is a little terrifying.

Liang Lidong walked to the door of the manor villa, and faintly heard a woman's voice coming from the room on the second floor: "Young master, you just drink this bowl of wheat cereal, I'm not hungry." ”

"No, you drink half of it first, and I'll drink ......" This is the young man's voice, and he is weak.

Liang Lidong knocked lightly on the door...... The voices upstairs immediately fell silent, and then a figure appeared on the balcony, dressed in a woman's clothes, and she lowered her head and asked, "You...... What is it...... Person? ”

There was fear in this woman's voice, but after Liang Lidong saw her appearance, even if his heart was good, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

The woman in front of her had no hair, she was not covered by her clothes, and the exposed places of her body were densely covered with pustules the size of thumbs, some of which had been broken, and yellow-green pus was bubbling outward, which was very disgusting.

Such a person can still survive, this is how strong the willpower to survive is.

Liang Lidong looked at this monster-like woman, and tried his best to keep his voice gentle, so as not to scare the other party: "I heard that you are going to sell the manor and the quarry, come and see the situation of the quarry, I don't know if you mind?" ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, then her eyes burst with hope, and she rushed back to the room like crazy, shouting at the same time: "Young master, young axe, some people outside say that they want to buy our family's quarry and manor, we don't have to go hungry anymore!" (To be continued.) )
