Chapter Ninety-Seven: Twilight Reconstruction
That night, temporary shelter.
Chino looked at the money bag that Lugo threw in front of him, and was a little puzzled: "What is this?" ”
Lugo said lazily, "Just open it and see." ”
Chino opened the bag and looked at it, and after a moment of silence, he poured everything out.
The eyes are full of golden light, and the light is a little dazzling, there are 20 golden moons, which is equivalent to 20,000 silver moons.
Chino's eyebrows furrowed: "Where did you come from?" Varta shouldn't have so much money. ”
Lugo said slowly: "A mysterious person came to me just now, a very powerful transcendent, it should be someone from the Trojan family, they are investigating Brooke's death, and gave me this money, asking me to testify in court in the future, saying that you instructed me to kill Valta. ”
Chino picked up a golden moon and played with it, and asked with interest, "Why don't you just agree to them?" ”
Lugo spread his hands and smiled heartily: "Please, what is the purpose of making money?" It's for pleasure. I have seen your methods, if I betray you, I can only live in fear in my life, and I have to worry about whether I will cut my throat by you in the middle of the night when I sleep with women, and what is the use of making more money? ”
"And I have a hunch, you are not simple, you can eat a lot of meat, a lot, a lot~" Lugo rubbed his chin and grinned, "The most important thing is that I believe that no matter how much money the person who bought me gives, you can afford more." ”
"You're right." Chino pushed all these golden moons forward, smiled and said, "You have done a very correct job in judging this matter. You pretend not to tell me about it, these golden moons are all yours, and you can spend them however you want. ”
Lu Ge's eyes lit up, he reached out and pulled Jin Yue into his pocket, the corners of his mouth rose wildly, and his face was distorted with a smile: "Get rich, get rich!" How can this be spent! Giggle... Hee-hee-hee..."
Chino thought for a moment and said, "If you don't know how to spend it, I'll give you a suggestion." Jashan Hedge, the same alchemist from the provincial investigation team the other day, gave me a list of transactions, saying that if there was a need for alchemy, I could do business with him, including the Golden Moon Settlement potion. ”
Lugo scratched the back of his head and muttered, "Potion... You mean the kind of potion that can stimulate all kinds of supernatural abilities and make people stronger after drinking? ”
Chino nodded and took out the list of transactions: "Yes." There are two kinds of potions, one is a temporary potion that has a limited time to awaken the power of the supernatural, and the price is relatively cheap, basically you can buy it with the silver moon, such as the amplifier I drank before. ”
"There is also a potion of permanent awakening ability, which belongs to the military controlled product, this potion is extremely expensive, and it can only be purchased in the golden moon, if you want, I can help you contact it."
Lugo mused, "So, I have a chance to become a transcendent? It's not bad, the ability of a mortal body is limited after all, and only by becoming stronger can you make more money! ”
Chino handed the list forward: "You go and choose slowly, after you choose it, give me the golden moon, and I'll let Paladin deal with it." ”
"Good!" Lugo took the list and left.
"That's right." Chino suddenly called him, his deep eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, "Varta is the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, before you kill him, he should beg you for mercy with moon coins." How much did you take? ”
Lugo broke out in a cold sweat, his heart almost jumped out of his throat, and he couldn't help but wonder if Chino was watching when he killed Varta at that time.
Lugo subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, and smiled awkwardly: "I really can't hide anything from you... He gave 1 golden moon, 300 silver moons... I swear! He's absolutely dead! I didn't let him go! If you don't believe me, I'll go back and get his head right now!" ”
Chino looked him straight in the eyes, and there was a terrifying oppression in his voice: "These monthly coins, why don't you report them?" ”
Lu Ge held back for a long time, his face was red, and he weakly held back a sentence: "To... I want just the right meal..."
Chino stared at him for a long time, until his nerves were tense to the point of almost collapse, then he withdrew his gaze and said lightly: "Forget it this time, the money in Varta should be rewarded to you as an extra reward." Remember later that anything seized should be reported. I will give it to you. What you shouldn't give, you keep it privately, it will only be bad for you, not good. ”
Lugo relaxed, shrunk his head, and said resignedly: "Understood, there will be no next time..."
[Fear from Lugo Hersin: 49]
[Awe from Lugo Helsin: 14]
When he saw the hint of the triple shackles, Chino was puzzled.
Awe?
It's a strange thing.
The previous few times to harvest awe points occurred during the execution of visitors from outside the sky.
But this time, just having a conversation with Lugo, why would it have the same effect as executing the Alien Visitor?
Awe, what kind of emotion is it?
Envy and power?
Not like.
He has used this technique with many people, but it is usually to gain both "respect" and "fear" rather than "awe".
Just as Chino was pondering, Lugo tentatively asked, "Then I'll go down first?" ”
Chino: "Go ahead. ”
After Lugo left, Chino didn't bother here and began to deal with the work at hand.
Just now, he received a letter from Resakhar.
According to the letter, the Fengyunguan Governor's Office has convened an emergency meeting and come up with a follow-up plan.
In the Twilight City bombing, many powerful nobles died, all eight officials except the administrator died, and the subsequent substitute officials will be appointed by the Governor's Palace, the list has been listed, and it is expected that all personnel will be in place within 10 days.
According to the Administrative Act of Doguland, a maximum of two of the eight officials in each city could come from the same family, in order to prevent collusion between the same clan.
There are six names in the list of appointments given by Ray Sakhar, one of whom is from the Hitch family, a third-order "intermediate" alchemist who serves as a financial envoy.
One is from the Eric family, a soul magician, and the "soul crossing" of the third sequence, serving as an inspector.
The other four were from non-royal families and served as judges, high priests, construction officials, and sheriff captains.
Troy, Regnome, Dagon, none of the three royal families were appointed.
Dagon is a maritime family, enshrined in the westernmost province of the kingdom, the "Grey Mist Province", and sails in the capital "Sea of Broken Moon" all year round, and rarely intervenes in inland politics.
As for the Regnome family, they attach importance to the inheritance of bloodline and never expand wantonly, and the clan is already scarce, so there is really no one to serve as the eight-rank official of the main city.
Moreover, the Governor of Fengyun Pass did not want to see Chino, a rising star administrator, get too close to the dragons.
As for why no one from the Troy family came to appoint him, it should be that the governor took into account Irene's emotional instability, and if one of her clansmen went to serve in Twilight City, she might instruct this person to interfere with Chino's affairs and affect the efficiency of the administration.
In addition to these six assigned officials, the post of military commander was vacant.
The list concludes by mentioning that this position, Chino can appoint on his own.
Considering the increasing frequency of attacks by visitors from across the sky, the military commander is appointed by the administrator himself, allowing him to take the initiative in responding to emergencies.
Moreover, having one of his own confidants among the eight officials in addition to himself would also be good for his administrative efficiency.
The Doge's Office was also apparently aware that it would take a lot of energy for an administrator who was not from a royal family, or even a nobleman, to gain a foothold in a main city.
The Governor's Mansion doesn't want to see a powerful administrator, nor does it want to see an administrator who has been hollowed out, not to mention that Chino's performance has impressed many people, and it is also fitting to raise his hand here.
The letter concludes with reference to the reconstruction of the Executive Residence.
The plan for the redevelopment of the Governor's Palace has been planned, the architectural drawings have been handed over to the incoming construction officer, and the money is being allocated to the incoming finance envoy.
After reading the letter, Chino wrote a reply in an official tone, saying that he had received the letter and would cooperate with the work, and then asked people to send it out.
