Chapter 337 Convinced
Han Shuo, who is more than 1.9 meters tall, walking from the back room naturally brings a kind of shock to people. Even in front of the mountain people who are generally outstanding in height, Han Shuo still stands out from the crowd, especially the kind of evil after practicing the magic kung fu. Temperament, more attractive to people's attention.
Han Shuo, who walked over with a smile, took out a plate of roasted oil-yellow meat pieces from the interspatial ring, and placed them on the table in front of everyone.
"Guys, this is some rare meat that I hunted from other places specially by running a little farther. How would you like to taste it?" Putting out several large plates of meat, Han Shuo smiled and asked everyone to taste it.
On the other side, Jack, who was pestered by Doakes to discuss military resources, could no longer control his yearning for delicious food when he smelled the smell of meat. edge ran over.
Doakes is an ambitious war maniac. His only interest is to use his greatest energy to make the power in his hands stronger, so as to prepare for more explosive lethality in subsequent battles.
Therefore, during this period of time, Doakes had a great interest in the little fat Jack who was in charge of the finances, and used all means to try to get more equipment from Jack. Jack was afraid of Doakes from the beginning, and gradually became more and more calm, and did not give Doakes everything he wanted as quickly as Doakes wished.
"You guy, hehe." Seeing Jack rushing over quickly, Han Shuo shook his head with a smile, and then said to the five mountain chiefs with a relaxed expression: "Don't be dazed, let's do it quickly, these things It’s not something you can usually eat.”
The five mountain chiefs, including Forkalin, saw that Han Shuo was not as indifferent and aloof as he imagined. They all felt a little apprehensive, but seemed more cautious.
Jack and Han Shuo are the most acquainted. Han Shuo has been Jack's only friend for so many years. He will not be as polite as others. When he came over, he dropped a fork and picked up a large piece of fragrant tender meat. He put it in his mouth and chewed. He got up, chewed and applauded in surprise: "Wow, that's really good, what kind of meat is this, it's so delicious?"
"This is the front foot of a manticore. Does it taste good?" Han Shuo replied with a smile, pointing to the other delicacies on the plate and introducing them one by one: "This plate is the tail of the deep-water poisonous python. It is the most chewy. There is that plate. The head of the harpies, you have to taste it to know, this is..."
Under Han Shuo's introduction, the five mountain chiefs, including Vaclandox and others, were all stunned. They never thought that the delicacies in front of them were all from high-level monsters. A high-level monster of this level must be hunted by a team of skilled adventurers. Otherwise, most people face only a dead end.
"There are no monsters like this around Brettle City.
Where did he go hunting? Well, these high-level monsters are not places that ordinary people can hunt. The City Lord is indeed an incredible monster! "
Except for Han Shuo, everyone in the venue felt this emotion at the same time, and everyone looked at Han Shuo with strange eyes.
"What. This is the front foot of a manticore!" Jack jumped up in fright, and there was a large piece of meat on the knife and fork in his hand. He had heard that a manticore's paws can often tear a person to pieces. , Thinking of the deliciousness of the pieces of meat chewed in his mouth, he couldn't help but yelled.
"Not bad, how does it taste?" Han Shuo laughed, staring at Jack and asked.
"The taste is really nothing to say, but when I think of the scene where the manticore uses its front paws to tear people apart, why do I feel a little scared!" Jack was a little terrified, looking at the delicious food and turning his small eyes around, thinking Eating seems to be a bit unable to overcome the pressure in my heart.
Glancing at the other people, Han Shuo found that the expressions on their faces were also weird. Han Shuo laughed dumbly and said, "Why, don't you dare to eat it? Hehe, this is the place I hunted for you, it won't be like this Don't you want to save face?"
Under Han Shuo's watchful eyes, Doakes walked up to the Harpy's meat plate without saying a word, picked up a large piece of dark meat with a knife and fork, and swallowed it with a sullen face.
"What's the big deal, huh!" To Han Shuo's surprise, Delia pouted and snorted softly, picked up a knife and fork to attack the deep-water poisonous python, and picked a piece of meat with brittle bones. Chew carefully.
After taking only a small bite, Delia frowned, waved the knife and fork again excitedly, tried to fork a bigger piece, and exclaimed in her mouth, "It's really delicious!"
"Hehe, the deep-water poisonous python is highly poisonous, and I don't know if it has been cleaned up. If it is not cleaned up, then there will be big trouble!" Looking at Delia's moving expression, the corner of Han Shuo's mouth With a pull, he murmured to himself in a low voice.
Regardless of the image of Delia, who was feasting, her small ears happened to hear Han Shuo talking to herself. Her excited movements froze suddenly, her red and tender cheeks became a little pale, and her eyes trembled when she saw Han Shuo's voice. Se said, "What did you say?"
"It's nothing, haha, with the deep-water poison python's extreme toxicity, if I hadn't dealt with it, you'd probably be down now!" Han Shuo laughed and replied easily.
"Damn it, you actually scared me!" Delia glared at Han Shuo viciously, but she didn't pursue Han Shuo's threat, and focused more on the plate of the deep water poisonous python.
Because at this time, the other four mountain chiefs, as well as Valklandik Chester and the others, had already reacted and started to act, especially the little fat man Jack picked up the plate and started directly.
Usually they rarely even see these rare foods, let alone savor them in the plate. Although Han Shuo brought a lot of food, there are more people here, especially the food intake of the mountain people. Notoriously powerful, Delia was deeply afraid that when she spoke, those people would share the food left on the plate, so she immediately stopped talking to Han Shuo and joined the fight for food.
It didn't take long for a total of six plates of food to be eaten up by a few people, who were holding knives and forks in their hands, and they still had something to say. On the one hand, the taste of the food is indeed very wonderful, on the other hand, the strangeness of these ingredients makes people feel more surprised, so they quickly ate up the six plates of food.
Wait until the servants hired by Han Shuo of the City Lord's Mansion. The food that they cooked carefully was served one by one, but the group felt that it was tasteless, and they could no longer look down on this kind of ordinary food.
Satisfied with food and drink, the group followed Han Shuo to the meeting hall, and the mess was cleaned up by the servants.
Han Shuo, who has always been smiling and funny, is not as difficult to get along with as the five mountain people imagined. When they sat down, everyone became less reserved and more friendly. Among them, the strange food should have played a big role. Small credit.
Han Shuo sat in the center without hesitation. Smiling, he glanced at the five mountain chiefs, and saw that the five men withdrew their smiles and sat upright. Then he nodded and said: "Everyone, don't be nervous. Please come down this time. I'm discussing with you about making a fortune together. You are all citizens of Brettle City. Maybe it's because the previous lord of the city couldn't trust you. It was only then that the relationship with Brettle City was gradually alienated.
This time His Majesty bestowed Bretel City on me, and I will not let Bretel City suffer from the Seven Duchies and various bandits again. Not only Bretel City will not, but your five mines will also be protected. From now on, I hope that everyone can truly work together. Let's develop Brettle City together.
"My lord, I believe that you can bring stability to Brettle City. As the leader of the mountain people in Mount Tali, I am willing to obey the orders of my lord. I know that my lord will not treat us badly." decided. He knew in his heart that Han Shuo's power alone could bring severe damage to Talishan Mountain. After seeing the fortified defense of Bretel City along the way, Fokalin's determination became more firm.
Han Shuo was also aware of the friendliness of Fukalin, and nodded to Fukalin with a smile on his face, saying, "Thank you Fukalin, the last time Falkland faced the threat of bandits, you were helped by Talishan. This City Lord knows this very well.”
"My lord, you are being polite. In the past, I was deeply disdainful because the original city lord didn't even care about his own citizens. My lord is completely different from them. As a member of Brettle City, this is what I should do. Besides, my lord He also helped us out of the Tali Mountains last time, and Tu Luoda will never invade our Tali Mountains again." Fukalin is very sensible, and since he has decided to cooperate with Han Shuo, he will spare no effort to start doing it.
When Fokalin made such a statement, the other four mountain chiefs couldn't help but look at each other. In the hearts of the four mountain chiefs, the new city lord was excellent in all aspects. The only thing that worried them was that Han Shuo would take over their mines. For their own sake, this is the reason why they dare not agree easily at present.
The mines of the four of them are their main source of income and the foundation of their survival. According to what Han Shuo said, everything around Brettle City belongs to the city lord. Does that mean that their mines also belong to Han Shuo? ?
Han Shuo looked at the four mountain chiefs with a smile, and said, "Four, are you willing to support me?"
As soon as these words came out, the four of them were startled. The other three young mountain chiefs did not speak, and all focused their eyes on the oldest Aardman. Respectfully said: "My lord, we are all your people, of course we are willing to let the city of Brettle develop, but we don't know how to help you, please express it clearly."
Smiling and nodding, Han Shuo said, "Since you admit that you are citizens of my Brettle City, this matter will be easy to deal with. To be honest, Brettle City is short of everything except not enough manpower. Merchant A steady stream of supplies will be transported here, and I, Brettle City, currently have enough gold coins to support the operation of Brettle City, but the population cannot be solved in a short time.
I know that there are currently 30,000 to 40,000 mountain people living in your mines, and besides some miners, there are more old people, women and children. The living conditions of the five mines are not ideal. He left Brettle City to live in the mine because of his incompetence. It turned out that the safety of Brettle City was not guaranteed, so I had to do this, but I think Brettle City is very safe now. If the five don’t mind, let them go down the mountain. There are many empty houses in Brettle City. , they deserve to live in a better environment, what do you think? "
Hearing what Han Shuo said, Aardman was greatly moved. He also understood in his heart that the life of the people living on the mountain is indeed very difficult. Apart from all kinds of ores, the five mines have very few trees and wild animals. They were hunted long ago to feed their hunger, and the water source was also transported up from the mountain.
The miners on the mountain work day after day in order to exchange for some food transported by the merchants. In order to prevent robbers from looting, the people on the mountain live in mines that do not see sunlight all the year round, if not for their own lives. Who wants to live like a savage in the mountains without being threatened?
Now the first thing Han Shuo thinks of is those poor people on the mountain. This really touched the old Aardman. He kowtowed to Han Shuo on the spot. Tears welled up from his eyes, and he choked up. : "First of all, on behalf of all the people on the mountain, I would like to thank the Lord City Lord for his kindness. I have nothing to say when I leave the mine."
"Please, old people, they are all my people. It is what I should do to give them a good living environment. The five mines are the foundation of your survival, and you will still control them in the future. However, although there are mines in the city There are plenty of siege equipment, but there are not enough manpower to operate it. Once the regular army of the seven principalities comes to attack the city, I am afraid that our 3,000 city guards alone will not be able to handle it even with so many siege equipment.
The only thing I ask of you is that you can join us in resisting the common enemy. We provide enough siege weapons. The defense power of the seven principalities can never be broken. I wonder if you are willing to work hard with me to fight for the safety of all the citizens of Brettle City? "
So far, there is no longer any gap. The old Aardman has worked hard all his life, constantly resisting the looting of various principalities and bandit organizations, and bringing a better living environment for the people on the mountain.
There is no conflict between his ideals and Han Shuo's approach, so when Han Shuo proposed it, Aardman did not hesitate, and immediately shouted to the other three young mountain chiefs: "You three children, why don't you talk to me?" Let’s thank the City Lord for his kindness together.”
Hearing that the three young men no longer had any doubts, even Forkalin, who had expressed his confidence in Han Shuo in advance, immediately knelt down on one knee in front of Han Shuo, swearing to Han Shuo one by one, that they would Desperately defend the safety of Brettle City.
Helping the leaders of the mountain people up one by one, Han Shuo smiled and said, "The last time I went to Mount Tali, I found that the weapons and equipment of Fokalin and the others were not sophisticated enough. This time the bandits left thousands of weapons Armors take up storage space in Brettle City, so we might as well equip them for you.”
The five mountain people have worked so hard to mine ore for so many years. All the ore they got was exchanged for food and other daily necessities from the merchants. They were used to maintain the basic life of the elderly, women and children on the mountain. There was no extra gold coins to buy more weapons and armor. Some people even use some poorly refined iron rods in their hands.
Hearing what Han Shuo said, the leaders of the five mountain people thought of the shining armor and sharp weapons of the three thousand city guards who had walked all the way, and compared the shabbyness of their own men. So, I feel a little red in the face.
"Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord!" Forkalin was the first to react, and immediately bowed down again, exclaiming excitedly.
After Fukalin bowed like this, the other four mountain chiefs also kowtowed sincerely, each of them was filled with excitement and respect, and they looked at Han Shuo with more and more convinced eyes.
"Hehe, everyone, get up. This is just the beginning. I think Brettle City will have a brighter future as it slowly develops in the future!" Han Shuo once again asked the five mountain chiefs to stand up, laughing. Hehe said.
"Hey, hundreds of thousands of gold coins are gone." Only Jack, the financial officer, whispered with some heartache, but amidst the joy and cheers of everyone, Jack's low cry couldn't make any waves.
