Chapter 879: Crisis?
"I'll go with you, don't embarrass my family. Klimt was filled with despair and despair, and regretted his recklessness.
He originally thought that his arms were very thick, but now he realized that his arms couldn't twist his thighs.
Rich people rely only on outsiders, and hire adventurers to challenge those outsiders.
Of course, the main thing is that Klimt underestimated the strength of the new lord, and this was his fatal mistake.
"Father. Noah was in a hurry and immediately stepped forward to stop Klimt.
Klimt shook his head: "Everyone is to blame for their mistakes, and I'm no exception. ”
"Let's go. Splithoof glanced at Klimt, and he really didn't have a good opinion of this man who dared to plot against his master.
But Klimt is right that everyone is to blame for their mistakes.
Noah looked at Crackhoof coldly, his eyes flickered at Splithoof, and after a long time, he finally took the initiative to get out of the way: "You'd better not hurt my father, otherwise, I will make your master forever!"
Splithoof glanced at Noah, it didn't make any sense.
......
At the other end of Amun's town, Escher's face was not very good-looking.
"You're saying that all the adventurers hired by the rich have failed?" Escher asked, reconfirmed, unable to believe the truth.
You must know that he has secretly investigated the strength of the adventurer team hired by those merchants, more than a dozen ** divisions ranging from level seven to level five, and more than four hundred experienced adventurer knights, such a team can also fail?
Escher really couldn't understand what was wrong and why this lord was able to wipe out such a powerful team of adventurers.
Even robbers in the wasteland rarely dare to provoke a team of adventurers, let alone a team of more than a dozen teams.
"Not only failed, but the small one found the corpses of more than a dozen ** divisions near the forbidden land, as well as the corpses of several adventurer knights, and all the others were missing, and they should have all been captured by that lord. ”
"Damn, where the hell did this kid come from, why does he have this strength?"
"Boss, to be able to destroy so many adventurers, this lord's strength must be at least four or five thousand people, right?"
"Unless he has a more advanced magician. Escher's eyes flickered and he said, "By the way, those corpses you found, are there the lord's people?"
"The little one didn't find it, and even if it did, it was probably taken away by that lord. Ada speculated.
"And what was the cause of death of those magicians?"
"It's all sword wounds. ”
Hearing this, Escher's face was slightly better.
If the cause of death of those magicians was magic damage, he would have to worry that the other party had high-level magicians in his hands, and now it seems that the other party only relied on his strength to kill those adventurers.
And presumably, after this battle, the power of that lord is bound to be greatly weakened.
"By the way, Boss, I heard that the big merchant Klimt was arrested by that lord today, it seems that the lord found out, and the cause of the incident this time was instigated by Klimt. ”
Escher's face changed again, this lord's behavior is too crazy, right?
Didn't he investigate Klimt's influence before he did it?
Klimt is the leader of the Merchant Alliance in the wasteland, and now that the lord has captured Klimt, he is bound to put the Merchant on the opposite side.
And anyone who wants to develop anywhere must have the support of businessmen, otherwise, it will never be able to develop.
But that's fine, the more people are hostile to the lord, the safer they are for these bandits.
And this lord's blatant capture of Klimt is bound to cause panic among the common people, who will resist this lord even more.
Without the lordship recognized by commoners and merchants, and the enemy of the major powers, there will be no place for him in this wasteland.
"Boss, I heard a piece of news. ”
"Oh, what's the news?"
"The villain heard that half a month ago, that is, a few days before the arrival of the lord, a caravan of the Morgan family of the Eastern Empire disappeared in the wasteland, and in the past few days, people from the Morgan family have come to the wasteland to look for the missing caravan. ”
"Oh, is there anything special about this news? Could it be that our colleague did it?"
Escher asked suspiciously, and at the same time scolded his peers in his heart, without looking at the origin of the other party.
"Boss, in fact, that caravan is only claimed to be a team of slave traders, and it is said that there were many half-elves, dwarves, goblins and minotaurs in the team on the way back from capture. ”
Escher's eyes lit up: "You mean that the team was probably robbed and killed by this lord halfway, and also robbed his slaves?"
"That lord's subordinates do have a lot of half-elves, goblins and minotaurs, as for whether it was a coincidence or robbery, it is difficult to guess the small ones. ”
"Haha...... Good...... Good news, this time he won't die!"
Escher was overjoyed: "You immediately passed on this news to the people of the Morgan family, it turns out that he himself has unclean hands and feet, and now he dares to stretch out his hand to people who can't be provoked." ”
And Klim's capture caused a strong reaction in Amon Town and throughout the wasteland.
Especially those businessmen, all have a feeling of sadness for the dead rabbit and the dog.
For a time, all the merchants in the wasteland were huddled together to fight against the lord.
And the common people demonized Bai Chen, and various evil versions emerged one after another.
But Bai Chen didn't bother to pay attention to it so much, if they want to demonize, let them demonize, if they want to resist themselves, then let them resist.
Anyway, I won't be short of two pounds because of their resistance and hatred.
As for Klimt, he was originally worried that if he was caught by Bai Chen, he would be tortured to death by cruel means.
But when he was thrown into the quarry, and he didn't even see the lord in person, he realized that he had been taken as a coolie.
The lord didn't plan to do anything with him at all, but for the fat-headed and big-eared Klimt, this kind of hard work in the quarry was definitely an unbearable torture.
However, in this quarry, he found something different from the ordinary quarry.
The first is the attitude towards him or other coolies, as long as a certain amount of work is completed every day, then he can do whatever he likes, as long as he does not run away.
Plenty of time to rest, and a relatively good food supply.
At the same time, in the quarry, there are all kinds of unheard of and unseen machinery.
And the heaviest part of these slaves was not to climb the rocky slope and smash the stones, but to send the stones to special mechanical carts, and as for some coolies who got easier jobs, they relied on their quick learning to drive those mechanical carts through the quarries.
As for those who are slow learners and have no skills, such as Klimt, they can only move stones in the quarry.
Over the past few days, he has lost a lot of pounds in his fat body.
However, in the past few days, he has also found that this lord is completely different from what he originally imagined.
First of all, there is Black Wind Mountain, because the quarry is at the foot of the mountain opposite Black Wind Mountain, so you can clearly see the situation on Black Wind Mountain.
There was no dark sky and no blood flowing on the Black Wind Mountain, but it was a busy scene.
And he also saw that the prototype of the castle that had been built on the Black Wind Mountain, although it was still only a prototype, but it could also be seen from the scale that this was definitely a magnificent building.
On the eighth day of Klimt's visit to the quarry, Peel came to the quarry.
Beruni was originally an adventurer, but he is now the captain of the quarry.
The reason is simply that when one of the adventurers was sick and no one else could do anything, Beruni took the risk to turn to Peel, which made Peel very much appreciated, so he asked him to manage the affairs of the quarry, especially the physical condition of the coolies in the quarry, and had the right to adjust the workload appropriately.
As soon as he saw Peel coming, Belluni immediately stepped forward: "Master Peel, you are here, what instructions do you have?"
"I will select 100 people, I have been working a little slow on the mountain recently, a large part of it is due to the lack of timber, and I need these 100 people to join the logging team. ”
Beluni looked at Peel in embarrassment: "Your Excellency...... The quarry is also short of people...... Transfer another hundred people to go, I'm afraid it will ......"
"I have already told the young master that the output of the quarry can be slightly reduced, and a batch of wood will be added to the mountain first, and then the people will be transferred back when the time comes. ”
"That'...... Alright then......" Beruni didn't dare to object too much, after all, he was just a prisoner, just a coolie.
"It's a pity, these robbers have been hiding really well recently, and they have sent people down the mountain several times to arrest people, but none of them have been found, are they really disbanded according to the decree issued by the young master?" Peel complained in front of Beluni.
Klimt, who was not far away, happened to hear Peel's words, and his heart moved, but he didn't show it.
Just keep his head down and continue to be busy with his own business, the robbers in the wasteland, Klimt has also dealt with them.
And with what he knew about the robbers, it was absolutely impossible for them to disband.
Now the temporary disappearance is mostly just because of the strength of the lord, so they temporarily hid.
Waiting for an opportunity to prepare how to deal with the lord, but as far as he knew.
If it was just one or two bandit groups, I am afraid it would be difficult to pose any threat to the lord.
But there are so many bandit groups in the wasteland that just one lord can't hold up the scene at all.
"Mistress Peele, the villain has information to report to you, it's about robbers. Just then, a coolie cried out loudly.
"Oh, can you give clues about the robbers? If you can provide accurate clues, then you can make any reasonable request, whether it's money or freedom. ”
You must know that these days, several people have been released because of their meritorious service, and they were not killed afterwards, but they were warned not to approach the forbidden land, and there was even a person who secretly used the way of birds to communicate with people inside outside, so these coolies also knew that the lord did not lie to them in this matter.
"The little one wants a thousand gold coins, plus freedom...... Is that okay?" the coolie looked at Peel cautiously.
"As long as we confirm the reliability of your leads, neither of these requests is excessive. Peel nodded. (To be continued.) )
