Chapter 89 I really want to be the shopkeeper!
In the evening, outside the wildfire city.
A ox cart was piled up and down, wailing and crying one after another, coming from the cracks in the city wall, attracting people’s curious eyes.
The people in the icefields, who were busy rebuilding their homes, discovered the uninvited guests outside the city wall for the first time, so the news was quickly reported to the now master city lord of Wildfire City.
When Xu Nan arrived in a hurry, he found that there was no one else except Viscount Mou Lu and his more than 300 soldiers.
“Didn’t you say they have legends?”
Xu Nan looked at Jiang Yuanchi with a puzzled look, wondering if the senior sister wanted to surprise herself?
He checked the soldiers, and there were obvious traces of strong current on their bodies.
At this point, Xu Nan is confident that he will not make a mistake. After all, he is also a man who has experienced it many times.
Jiang Yuanchi’s little face is also full of daze.
She pondered for a moment, and said earnestly: “Maybe their legend has turned back.”
The legend is turning back…
Xu Nan’s mouth twitched slightly.
He just wanted to refute Jiang Yuanchi’s strange conclusion, when suddenly, he saw a dark shadow in his afterimage.
He was wary in his heart, and then relaxed.
“So that’s it…”
Xu Nan easily jumped off the city wall with the help of a small spell.
“Be careful of fraud!” Jiang Yuanchi was obviously worried about the enemy’s legend, and she followed the magic carpet.
“It doesn’t matter, it should be a misunderstanding.”
Xu Nan signaled that the others don’t need to follow, and alone led Jiang Yuan into the small woods beside the main road.
It didn’t take long before he saw the figure who had been bound to one side.
Tattoo samurai Charles!
“You really came.”
Charles turned around, his voice indistinguishable from happiness and anger.
Just what Xu Nan wanted to say, the senior sister Jiang next to her had silently opened the portal, ready to run away at any time.
“It’s okay, this is my own.”
Xu Nan coughed and explained: “This is Mr. Charles, the only surviving legendary samurai of the Cebalon family. We had a fate in Bilun Square before.”
“This… is my friend Ms. Jiang Yuanchi, she is from Stephen Sang. She just arrived in Wildfire City to help me, and many things are not familiar.”
Although I don’t know what happened between the two of them, seeing the guilty expression of Jiang-senpai’s face and her previous style of electric fish, Xu Nan can probably guess the same.
So by the opportunity of introducing him, he also faintly meant to excuse Jiang Yuan for delay.
Charles said dumbly: “It turns out to be Stephen Sang’s witch, no wonder the attack is so harsh.”
It seems that he is quite prejudiced against Stephen Sang’s mage.
Jiang Yuan coughed, not dare to beep more.
She can feel the power of Charles. Even though she is a Tier 4 mage after this time out, she is still in awe of the existence of the tattooed warrior who has a natural professional restraint relationship with the caster.
As a characteristic of awe, she rarely wears glasses to show her importance.
Xu Nan laughed a few awkwardly, made a few jokes, and barely played a haha for the previous misunderstanding.
In fact, he and Charles are not acquainted, but he learned some supplementary information about the Cebalon family from Qin Lele, and after the Shuangyue Square incident that day, he had a little exchange with Charles. The latter mentioned the conspirator Ai After slightly special, he disappeared.
Xu Nan originally thought he had left Wildfire City, but he did not expect to kill another carbine.
“These people can be regarded as a meeting ceremony.”
It seems that Charles hasn’t communicated with people for a long time, and he speaks straight, without any circumstantial meaning:
“I know that you are the current city lord of Wildfire City, those Iceborne people-that is, my compatriots, their destiny is in your hands.”
“I can feel the extraordinary power in your body, but I still have some doubts in my heart.”
Xu Nan nodded, looked at the only surviving old man of the Cebalon family, and said calmly:
“If you have any doubts, you can ask directly.”
Charles was silent for a long time before asking the first question:
“Are you a man or a woman?”
Xu Nan almost choked on her saliva without a chuckle!
Please, you are a legendary tattooed warrior!
How can you gossip like others?
“If privacy is involved, it is fine to not answer this question.” Charles added.
“Male.” Xu Nan didn’t hesitate.
“So that’s the case. There is no problem with my perception.” Charles said with emotion: “I was detained for so long, and after I came out, I heard a lot of rumors about the new city lord. I thought it was a major mistake in my judgment.”
Xu Nan and Jiang Yuanchi looked at each other, and both felt that the old man’s thinking was very strange.
But they had big fists, so they obviously came prepared, and the two young men pretended to laugh and talked down his topic.
“The second question, do you have the confidence to take my compatriots through the Tribulation of the Ice Dragon?”
At this point, Charles’s tone became a lot more serious.
Xu Nan frowned: “Has it been determined that it is the Tribulation of the Ice Dragon?”
Charles nodded: “I went north these days to check the sleep of that giant dragon. Now it is sleeping more and more unsteadily, from deep sleep thousands of years ago to shallow sleep. He His consciousness will become more and more active, and his breathing… will become stronger and stronger.”
“The Tribulation of the Ice Dragon on the ice sheet is coming. You may have to face more than one winter… but five or six winters in one breath.”
Xu Nan took a deep breath.
This problem, if there is no Anonymous City, he really can’t solve it!
After all, that is the Tribulation of the Ice Dragon that has plagued the Northern Continent for years!
It is said that a long, long time ago, the North Continent was not as cold as it is now; it was as warm as spring as the South Continent and the old world. When the common gods formulated the laws of spring and autumn, they did not formulate a cold relationship based on dimensions as on the earth. After all, the sun’s radiation is the same as rain and dew, and it is the core climate of the general world that triggers the changes in the four seasons, rather than simply sunlight.
Therefore, the Northern Continent in the Archaic era has a climate similar to that of the Southern Continent, with four seasons, especially spring and autumn with distinct climates.
Until the Kunyu-class frost dragon came across the multiverse.
It is said that the dragon named Asgard once fought with the ancient gods, and then retreated all over, but because of being too tired, he fell asleep on the cliffs of the northern continent.
One of his nostrils is facing the general world, and while breathing, it has caused the phenomenon of thousands of miles of ice on the highest mountain range and ice sheet.
And his other nostril is facing a certain part of the world of the dead. If it’s just the severe cold, then the undead probably doesn’t matter, but his breath carries substantial damage, which can actually hurt the spiritual body, so In that area, even the undead cannot live.
The existence of Asgard created the unique climate of perennial winter in the Northern Continent, and at the same time indirectly protected the Afalia civilization. When the gods attacked the Afalia civilization, they chose to truce temporarily. Because I was afraid of awakening this behemoth.
Kunyu-class dragon, that is no longer a transcendent existence that can be interpreted by ordinary levels.
According to legend, it is unknown that there can only be one Kunyu-class dragon in 300 million universes-this supreme creature from the ancient dragon supernatural, immortal, with stronger power than the gods, even the Arcane Empire At the peak and the most swelling, those arcanists who were clamoring to take away the kingdom of heaven did not dare to provoke Asgard.
Such creatures have naturally received widespread attention from the multiverse.
It’s just that in the past thousands of years, he slept very deeply, and gradually, people also forgot about it.
Only those who care about the Northern Continent can pay attention to the sleep of the Frost Dragon all the time.
Generally speaking, the big ice dragon sleeps from deep to shallow. In deep, it breathes lightly and there is less cold. The northern ice field may even attract rare summers; when it is shallow, it may be blizzards and dark winters for many years!
The “Ice Dragon Tribulation” in the Northland legend refers to the time when Asgard slept shallowly.
This means that the population of the Iceborne people is about to fall precipitously!
Charles was concerned about this, but Xu Nan expected it.
He was straight to the point and took the lead:
“I have a dungeon with enough energy, as long as they perform reasonable work according to my arrangements; I can guarantee that they have nothing to worry about.”
“Dungeon?” Charles is still a little worried: “Although I have not personally experienced the severe cold of the Ice Dragon Tribulation, there have been many tragic records in history. It is not that the Ice Plains people have not tried to dig underground buildings…”
“Trust me, Mr. Charles.”
Xu Nan smiled slightly: “This will be the most advanced underground city you have ever seen. We have the best air conditioning system.”
“Air conditioning system?” Charles looked dazed.
Xu Nan coughed: “Why don’t you go and have a look?”
Jiang Yuanchi next to opened a portal very skillfully. In the portal, the professionals from the earth were still fresh and frantically exploring the limited area Xu Nan opened to them.
Charles thought for a while, and he strode in.
……
A few hours later, in an anonymous city.
“To be honest, you amazed me again.” Charles curiously stroked the hot metal wall of the power furnace, and carefully looked at the big devil’s heart jumping inside, and couldn’t help but exclaimed: “We Iceborne people are too far behind in civilization. many……”
Xu Nan is not good to say anything, after all, they are telling the truth.
Whether it is the technological civilization of the earth or the magic civilization of the Arcane Empire, compared with the barren and backward natives of the ice field, it is almost like alien technology.
“So, do you plan to place them here?”
“This is your plan? Let my compatriots work for you?”
Although Charles doesn’t understand dungeons, he obviously has no problem in his mind, and he can see what is at stake.
Xu Nan noodles do not change their expressions:
“It’s not about working for me, just mutual benefit.”
“Mutual benefit?” Charles sneered: “How many hours do you plan to let them work a day?”
“I can warn you, if you want to enslave my compatriots like the dungeon lord of the dark world, I will take them south without hesitation, even if you leave this land!”
Xu Nan frowned.
Does this old man bargain with himself?
As a city owner (capitalist), he certainly hopes that the longer the icefield people work, the better!
He still wanted to try playing the alien version of 996… Being so fooled by the old man, Xu Nan could only continue to consider it in his heart.
Charles stared at Xu Nan:
“Why don’t you talk anymore?”
“You really are coveting their labor!”
“Although you saved them, we need to be reminded that we Iceborne people are not that easy to exploit!”
Xu Nan remained silent.
Charles sat down and stared at Xu Nan fiercely:
“I need your guarantee.”
“You must be kind to them. Only in this way can I leave with peace of mind, otherwise I will take them away.”
go away? Take them away?
Xu Nan looked at the old man with some surprise.
Charles sighed:
“Mr. City Lord, there is no need to cover up the negotiation between us too much; the Cebalon family has died, and this is not a long-term place for me. If there is no accident, I will go to find my son Barnes, as you said. He is being chased by the **** of day, and I am worried about his safety.”
“But even so, I will still settle things down here before embarking on my path.”
“My fellow citizens, I cannot allow them to be abused and exploited!”
Legendary pressure passed slowly.
“I need a clear statement about working hours.”
He looked at Xu Nan.
Xu Nan asked tentatively: “Huh? Eight hours a day?”
“what?!”
Charles was taken aback for a moment, and then furious:
“Are you looking down on the hard work of our Iceborne people?”
“At least twelve hours a day!”
It’s Xu Nan’s turn this time in a daze.
“I thought you would be like those dungeon masters in the dark world, let my compatriots work twenty hours a day
……” Charles said inwardly.
“Eight hours a day is definitely too little. We Ice Plains are a very hardworking race. As long as you give them a chance to work hard and get rich, I believe twelve hours is a more reasonable time…”
“After all, this is much better than dying under the Ice Dragon Tribulation.”
“Well, now that you have made such a decision, and Stephen Sang will endorse you, I am willing to believe that my compatriots can live better than before under your rule. This dungeon will definitely become a North A dazzling new star.”
“I will give you all the things left by the Cebalon family. I hope you don’t waste these materials.”
“Finally, if there is news about Barnes, please contact me.”
Speaking of this, Charles solemnly took out a black rag from his arms.
That stuff is so greasy that Xu Nan wouldn’t pick it up if it wasn’t for the legend to pass it over.
“this is?”
He looked at the rag in his hand curiously.
“This is my skin.” Charles said calmly:
“Light it up, I can immediately perceive it, and if nothing happens, I will come back soon.”
“Remember, you can only ignite it when there is news about Barnes, or when my compatriots are in a crisis of life and death.”
“Wildfire City will be handed over to you, Mr. City Lord from another world.”
In the end, he bowed deeply to Xu Nan, and then turned around and left.
“I’m a ruthless man.”
Jiang Yuan looked at the human skin in Xu Nan’s hand and made such an evaluation.
Xu Nan nodded sincerely, and said with some sorrow:
“He is going to find his son.”
“I don’t know that after Barnes became a stubborn devil, he still recognizes this old man, it is really sad.”
“See you this old gentleman next time, don’t you know when it is?”
Before his words fell, the tall and burly figure appeared in Xu Nan’s field of vision again.
“Ok.”
“Excuse me, how does the surface go?”
Charles asked a little embarrassedly:
“I just tried several roads, but they couldn’t get through.”
……
After completing Charles and Viscount Mou Lu, the uncertainties about Wildfire City were reduced by more than half!
In the next few days, Xu Nan made a bold move and formed the first member of the City Hall of Wildfire City-Anonymous City with members recommended by the Ice Plains himself and members of the Gourmet Sect.
The provisional government agency in Wildfire City began to officially operate, and Xu Nan also tasted the taste of power for the first time.
Viscount Mu Lu and his soldiers, Xu Nan sent them back to the Tieshan collar intact. After losing the Shadow Demon, the prince also kept a lot of low-key, and did not reply to Xu Nan again. He was probably scared. courage.
Even though Mr. Gerich, who quietly returned to the Port of Panto, did not want to disclose it, he still informed him that the marriage contract with Tumelsu had ended. This made many people more curious about Xu Nan.
At the same time, with the help of the nomads, the news that the new Lord of Wildfire City has Stephen Sang’s support spread like wildfire.
This has caused many careerists who are plotting against Wildfire City to curb their teeth.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, at least Stephen Sang has not clearly spoken out against Wildfire City, and he can already explain a lot.
Up and down the Eastern Kingdom, more and more people began to pay attention to this border town.
Inside Wildfire City, an unprecedented change is also going on.
With the help of the new city hall, Xu Nan boldly passed on his political demands, revenge and ambition to every Bingyuan people through speeches and leaflets.
Under the influence of the super-charm of Lord City Lord, the Bingyuan people almost accepted the decision to move to an unknown city.
Facts have proved that after experiencing the previous events, with the blessing of Stephen Sang’s mysterious halo, Xu Nan now has a very high prestige in the iceman After almost three full days of speeches, the city will never be there anymore. There is no voice of resistance.
Under Xu Nan’s plan, most of the Ice Plains people will go to live in an anonymous city near the Living Dead Swamp.
A small number of people still continue the renovation work of Wildfire City.
This is an important move for Xu Nan.
The abandoned Wildfire City will soon become a hub of an unknown city and a fortress of Xu Nan!
Of course, these are all things in the future.
Now Xu Nan’s top priority is still to deal with the problems exposed during the migration process.
For example, the most basic, the promotion of the household registration system, is very slow due to the low literacy rate of Bingyuan people.
Another example is the distribution of residential areas, which also caused a lot of riots.
These things are all things Xu Nan, as the lord of the city, must handle well.
“I really want to be a hand shopkeeper!”
In the hall of the protagonist of the Anonymous City, Xu Nan listened to Liu Huo’s report and wanted to grab the ground with his head.
“But, Lord Santos, aren’t you in a state of throwing away your hands?”
The little silver-haired loli relentlessly repairs the knife.
Xu Nan patted the table blankly:
“You turned off your [Poison Tongue] module for me!”
