Chapter 162 (2/2)
Not to mention that the members of the habinder snake have begun to assemble and prepare to fight with the mercenaries in the town.
At the mayor's house in Hongye Town, Puda looked surprised at the two people sitting on the chairs in the hall.
These two people are the so-called distinguished guests he saw in the sunset wine shop and the girl who doesn't know who she is with him, except the big man who is burly is not here. So Puda looked around curiously, as if he wanted to see the big man's shadow.
”Arnold is not here.” Sean, the distinguished guest, seemed to have seen Puda's thoughts, so he smiled and said, ”only Cecilia and I came to visit.”
”Have you met?” At this time, an old man sitting in the hall finally asked.
”I just met at a tavern called sunset red.” Sean smiled. ”This one has a sense of justice.”
When someone praised Puda, the old man's face showed a smiling look and a proud look: ”Puda, this child, I didn't boast. No one in our whole Puda town didn't praise him But you said sunset pub, Puda, didn't you just go there with the militia? It's the mercenaries who want to trouble an outsider. What's the situation? ”
In the latter sentence, the mayor had turned his head and looked at Puda with a nervous face.
”Uncle, I just want to tell you about it.” Puda glanced at Sean and seemed to hesitate. He didn't seem to know where to start. Finally, he could only dry talk about the sunset red wine bar just now, but Puda really didn't have any language talent, so it didn't sound good at all. He didn't even remember the names of those tribes, and finally became a conclusion.
”The heavy hammer has gone.”
”You mean the hammer escaped from the serpent of habinder?” The old mayor was a little unbelievable. After seeing Puda nodding, he turned his head and looked at Sean. He said in some panic: ”Oh, there's nothing to entertain in a small place. I'm sorry... Sorry...”
”Nothing.” Sean just stopped, but his face was not ”nothing”, but a dark cool that almost everyone could see.
However, seeing Sean's exemplary character, the old mayor and Puda didn't feel disgusted. On the contrary, they thought the young man looked very good.
”Actually.” Each other, and each other polite and modest a few words, and then Sean began to cut into the theme of this trip, ”I'm visiting the mayor this time, just to know about this habinder snake What the hell is going on with this mercenary regiment? How do you feel? It seems that you are under control. ”
”Hey, it's not complicated...”
So, in front of Sean, the old mayor began to talk about things from hiring the snake of habinder to antagonizing the militia. Then he mentioned the fight between Puda and habinder. As a result of Puda's defeat, the whole town was completely under habinder's control, Until a few days ago, the receipt of the official document of tonis fortress finally completely caused the two sides to tear their faces.
It has to be said that the old mayor's storytelling ability is much better than Puda. In Sean's opinion, at least the old mayor has the professional ability to obtain a bard.
Under the dictation of the old mayor, it took less than 30 minutes to tell all the things in the past year, and the context and organization were clear, which would not make people wonder. Sean even saved his saliva, and he knew all the things he wanted to know.
”So you have no objection to the jurisdiction of the town owned by the incoming new Lord?”
”As long as we can be sheltered, who will oppose it?” The Old Town chief sighed, ”didn't you go to mercenaries to help defend in order to seek shelter and self-protection? As long as the new Lord can fulfill his duties, how can we oppose who will rule? I just hope the new Lord doesn't be too harsh. In the past year, the income of the town has been basically robbed by the poisonous snake of habinder. Other people in the town can only barely get enough food and clothing, and there's no more money left. ”
Hearing the old mayor's words, Sean nodded silently.
The current situation has been expected by him and Cecilia, so Sean has been mentally prepared for failing to receive taxes from Hongye town or Puda town this quarter - the first pot of gold obtained from the territory is not so easy to obtain, but the obedience of the town is more about giving the territory a secure source of funds.
What Sean really wants is that these towns don't have too strong a sense of resistance. Otherwise, even if he can recover the three towns, he may need to use some means he doesn't want to use, which is extremely unfavorable to the development of a territory. Fortunately, Hongye town does not seem to have such a sense of resistance, and at present, the ownership of Hongye town has not been shown in the Lord system, probably because of the existence of habinder snake.
In other words, as long as the snake of habinder is solved, Hongye town will probably become the first town in his lord system to view detailed data.
Looking at Sean nodding here, Puda, who has been sitting next to Sean, suddenly said, ”are you the new Lord sent by the Marquis?”（ To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly ticket at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
