Chapter 97: Let the city


The abandoned city was built on the mountain, the city wall was strong, the city body was distinct, majestic and atmospheric. The first time I saw this abandoned city, Shaoyu liked it, but after those things happened, he hated it very much.
According to what had been said at the beginning, Owen led the team to talk to the city lord, and Shao Yu waited for the opportunity. Owen assigned several assassins to Shaoyu. Shaoyu just gave it to him. He would not be invisible. If he acted with these assassins, it would be exposed.
He wanted to be invisible, but it took Shaoyu a few nights to [extort a confession] with Lily to figure it out.
According to Shaoyu's cognition, invisibility actually uses optical principles to make the body refract so that others cannot see you. And you have to cooperate with breathing methods like turtle breath, plus stealth powder.
This skill is also divided into N levels. The entry-level ones are hidden in place, and they show up when they move. The first-level ones can move slowly, and the middle-level ones run and walk as usual. The high-level ones will instantly show up when they attack and then disappear. There is also the first order of legend. That kind of invisibility is really a legend. When invisible, not only the attack is as usual, but the body is nothingness, and all attacks are invalid.
Shaoyu also learned a lesson and didn't even enter the door.
As a result, it was divided into three teams. Owen led more than sixty servants to the fourth floor to find the city owner. Four assassins were hidden under the leadership of a mercenary captain, and Shaoyu was a team.
There are a total of sixty guards and more than one hundred soldiers directly under the city owner, but they will not be gathered together, and they will also guard some key places.
These more than sixty mercenaries are enough.
It is the natural danger in front of the castle on the fourth floor, which will cause the mercenaries to suffer heavy casualties, so that they will not sell their lives.
This time it went smoothly. Shaoyu was wondering if the city lord really wanted to hand over power?
He had been wondering what natural danger was, and he climbed up directly from the tower, as he had imagined, after the death of the mage, the tower had no guards.
Today, the streets of the abandoned city are completely deserted, and people are hiding.
Shaoyu lags behind Owen on the tower for a long time before they reach the fourth floor. Well, he actually spent a long time crossing that bridge.
The fourth layer is attached to the top to build the top of the mountain. On the mountain, there is a waterfall like a spring that flows directly down, forming a river. This river is dug out manually. It crosses the top of the mountain and falls from the back of the mountain into the belly of the mountain. Among.
Shaoyu almost didn't look at it. There was a small castle in this ring of water.
It is simply a city above the city, with a small castle suspension bridge, city walls, and towers all available. A fat paper was standing at the head of the lowered suspension bridge, hugging Owen, and then entered the castle together.
Shaoyu opened his left eye and wondered how to cross the river. Because of the waterfall, the water flow was very turbulent, except for the suspension bridge, there was nowhere to go.
While Shaoyu was still thinking of a solution, he saw that the fat paper came out of the castle, and Owen and the others followed. It seems to be sending off.
Is this fat paper the city lord? Shaoyu stood there, hiding under his cloak, watching the fat paper pass by him, the fat paper struggling to carry a big bag and nodded at him with a smile.
Ever since he found the hooded cloak in the underground stone room, Shaoyu has fallen in love with this attire. The large cloak makes people unable to see his figure and the weapons he carries, and his face has not fully recovered. The hood can also hide the expression.
So this fat paper shouldn't be able to see who he is...what is the smile at him? And this guy is not a city owner, he doesn't even have a servant or anything? Carrying me soft? !
Shaoyu looked at the fat paper walking by with a weird look, and then strode towards the castle.
This castle has an ancient atmosphere. I don't know if it is because of the heavy water vapor, there are many green moss-like pieces hanging on the walls. After crossing this suspension bridge, Shaoyu entered the hall.
The hall is brightly lit, with an exquisite ceiling candlestick on the top, with at least thirty candles on it. The castle is well maintained, and the marble floor is smooth and shiny.
In the deepest part of the hall there is a small high platform with a chair that looks like a throne.
Irving was sitting on it, and the dissonance was that the hall was very noisy, the mercenaries were all around Irving and they were arguing about something.
Shaoyu could also guess one or two... Unexpectedly, he took over the city so easily, imaginary trap, battle, nothing.
He stood aside and listened to the meeting. Those mercenaries were just asking for compensation and fulfilling what they promised.
In the end, Leah stood up to appease these mercenaries and let them go away, and then they were all frowning here.
Shaoyu is a little strange, is it because he has no money.
He didn't understand until Niss saw it and explained it to him. He was also surprised how Niss understood so much. He didn't expect that these were what Owen had just said.
Originally, according to their thoughts, these were going to fight the city lord, and the worst was to use the power of mercenaries to strike and drive the city lord. He didn't expect that he would really give up his place safely.
Taking the initiative to give way is actually very good, except that the city lord disbanded the guards and soldiers of the whole city, and swept away everything that could be swept away. Moreover, the city lord did not leave, but continued to stay in the city.
Shaoyu understood at once, what is this, leave an empty castle for them, in fact, the city still has the final say on the fat paper. Then he also learned that those mercenaries refused to leave, and they said to stay to guard here.
This is trying to rebel, Shao Yu secretly said, it really is that the tiger has not driven away the wolf again.
Owen has spoken at this time, everyone should leave.
Indeed, there is no way to leave, they have too few staff.
Shaoyu thought for a while, and asked, does the city lord have any tokens. Owen raised his hand, and Shaoyu saw a ring with a pattern on his hand. So Shaoyu asked again what he would do next after taking over as City Lord.
Owen said, ring the big bell and summon the nobles.
Shaoyu said, why don't you call for a second look?
Owen was stunned and thought, but Beta cried out very excitedly, yes, summoning the nobles, they will definitely not come alone, let them come again to shock these mercenaries.
Leah on one side also said, yes, and then through the gathering time, she went to summon the demobilized guards and soldiers.
Everyone did what they said and started to act separately.
Shaoyu followed Owen to the top tower of the castle to ring the bell. After coming up, Shaoyu realized that it was different from what he had imagined. Owen just stood under the tower and used the Lord's ring to top a groove.
The big bell that occupies the entire tower was struck.
Shaoyu only saw the big clock shaking but couldn't hear the sound. He thought the big clock was broken. Owen saw Shaoyu's doubts and explained to him that this clock was very old and had an etheric magic inscription on it. You can't hear the bell if you stand below, but its sound is getting louder and louder, and it can reach ten thousand yards.
Ten thousand yards? Shaoyu didn't know anything about the surveying, geography, etc., but he thought it was pretty awesome. Owen went on to say that the lord took over, only three sounds, five sounds of foreign enemies' invasion, seven sounds of urgent requests for help, and thirteen sounds of irresistible disaster. After speaking, he sighed. I don't know how many times the bell rang... Many years ago, it rang thirteen times.
Epidemic? Shaoyu blurted out, and Owen nodded. After tapping the ring three times, they returned to the hall, ready to welcome the nobles.
During the boring time of waiting, Shaoyu learned about the hierarchy and rights of the nobles in this world.
Owen said that after the disappearance of the hundreds of races, the human race occupied the land, and the country was born. At the beginning, the nobility was a title for those who made great contributions to the race.
This title had only one privilege at the time. Seeing the king did not have to salute, the king and the heroes had to give way to the nobles.
With the triumph of the human race, this title slowly changed. Owen smiled and said that at that time, a nobleman owned a huge territory and had the right to rule all the women in the first night!
Shaoyu sweated a lot. It turned out to be true. Now, he asked.
Owen continued. Later, with different ideas, the Seven Heroes separated and established different countries, and the nobility began to appear in levels and differences.
Until Owen finished speaking like history, no nobleman appeared. Shaoyu sorted out Owen's words. According to his words, the nobleman has now formed a complete standard, but he felt that this standard was a bit too simple.
Those who own the territory are the great nobles. They have their own army, tax, and even ignore the king, and they can be inherited by one of their children. The others are small nobles, who only own a manor of their own and cannot be hereditary. According to Owen, even the little nobles have the power to live and kill the civilians, but now the little nobles are not worth mentioning, and any professional must nod and bend over.
Shaoyu stood next to Owen, pondering. The servants were still in the manor. The two sisters did not know where to get a large rectangular table on the small platform.
At this time someone finally came, and it was the fat man who walked in with a few people who looked like Chinese clothes, surrounded by a group of people who looked like soldiers.
With the arrival of the Fatty group, some nobles also came one after another. There were a large number of people around them to protect them, and they stood in the hall without sitting down. The atmosphere was very stiff.
Shaoyu was hiding under the cloak and watching, there are so many nobles in this city? And they brought a lot of people, all of them coaxing...
Isn't there a nobleman I've contacted before? Why don't you say hello, Shaoyu watched Owen sitting there all the time without speaking.
When the fat man saw that people were almost there, he laughed and said loudly: Everyone still has to congratulate the new city lord, don't be stern, take your seats.
After he finished speaking, he took the lead and sat down. This group of talents took their seats one after another, and the group of people they brought stood behind them, seeming to surround it.
There was nothing on the table that was temporarily found, and the fat man stopped smiling, and the atmosphere was even more dull.
Owen stepped down from the tall throne and walked to the table. He was knocking on the table with his hands. Before he could speak, he was interrupted.
It was the mouth of a middle-aged man with a strangely long face sitting on the right side. His speech speed was very slow and his accent. He only said one sentence. I am not interested in whoever takes over as the lord of the city. Not interested, everyone knows what you mean by ringing the big bell to come to us. Let's get through the revenge of the mage after a few days. If you are not dead, then you are the city lord.
