Chapter 1893 Looking for the Archer

After letting all the people leave, the emperor of the Western Empire became even more gloomy. In fact, he should have more important things to do at this time, that is, he should inform the people of the whole continent that there is another Warcraft Emperor in this world. This is the news that King Lear rushed back to tell himself. Although King Lear is a little too much in normal times, he knows the importance of these things. Now this guy lives in the Royal Courtyard of the Western Empire. It has been several months, and the emperor of the Western Empire has told this guy to start talking about it everywhere. At the beginning, King Lear believed it, but now he doesn’t believe it at all. As long as people know about it, they will definitely take it as the first thing to do. They all know how powerful the King of Warcraft can do.

Historically, as long as a new King of Warcraft is born, it will be a disaster for the entire continent. Every time tens of billions of people die to pass, most of the deaths are warriors and magicians. It is said that more than 40% of the warriors in the mainland will lose their lives, and there may be more magicians. If there is no such sacrifice, it is impossible to have the current situation in the mainland. There is a fatal danger, what they have to do now is to quickly inform these people, so that the King of Warcraft can quickly find this guy and kill him before he grows up, this is the best way, King Lear There is no way to notify all parties, but the emperor of the Western Empire has it. This guy doesn't say anything, which is definitely delaying the matter. Although King Lear wants to do something, it's a pity that the two tenth-level fighters at the door are watching As for me, these two are the patron saints of the Western Empire, and they are much stronger than me, let alone two, even if one of them confronts me, I have no ability to fight against them. There are only three tenth-level fighters in the Western Empire, and two of them are looking at him. He really doesn't understand what the emperor is thinking. At this time, why don't you hurry up and inform all the powerful people to come and see what you are doing? Is there any use?

Naturally, he didn't know what the emperor of the Western Empire was thinking. This guy was an extremely selfish person. This guy didn't think about anyone's life or death at all, all he thought about was what would happen to his empire. If there is no empire of his own, even if he retains a large number of people who survived and have a relationship with him, that is what he thinks. What this guy is still afraid of is what he is about to do. They can't control the overall situation at all. None of these people are fuel-efficient lamps. They will also fight with others for their own benefit. Many people have such thoughts. For this reason, he wants to suppress this matter. go down. Anyway, as long as the King of Warcraft hasn’t grown up, he doesn’t need to be in such a hurry. He has to finish what he is doing before he can attack those monsters. Things will be prioritized. He knows very well that the empire can’t keep it. , What do you need so many people for?

"You two, you have also listened to me for a long time. You are also tenth-level fighters, and you are still my seniors. You know a lot more than I do. Don't you know that this matter may affect the whole world? Does the mainland bring any danger? You all know it clearly, don’t you just ignore it now? By then, tens of billions of people will die here in the entire continent, and you will be the sinners here at that time. Do you know clearly? Clear?" King Lear has been talking to these two tenth-level fighters looking at him for a long time these days, almost everything, but these two guys have not spoken all the time. One guy is always drinking, don't look at this guy who has drunk so much alcohol and smells of alcohol all over his body,

But King Lear knew that no matter how much this guy drank, he was no match for this guy.

"Hehe. King Lear, you are just a junior. How long have you been a tenth-level fighter? If I guessed correctly, when I was a tenth-level fighter, your grandfather might not have been born. I know Why didn't the two of us die for so long, and why didn't the other tenth-level fighters have such a long life?" The other guy who didn't drink said, this guy has been looking at his chessboard since he came in. When talking, these days, King Lear himself is talking, and other people are listening to him talking, and no one feels comfortable saying this.

"Why?" King Lear held back these three words for a long time. In fact, he also wanted to know before. The contemporaries of these two tenth-level fighters are all dead. Why are they two? I can still live until now. Everyone hopes that they can live longer, even King Lear is no exception. He also hopes that he can live longer. The attraction of this thing is very strong Yes, people with status like them can say that they live the lives of masters every day, so naturally they don't want to die just like that.

"It's very simple. Both of us are the royal family of the Western Empire. We have existed since the day the empire existed. It can be said that our existence is the guarantee for the existence of the Western Empire. The Western Empire is also our guarantee and our enemy. There are also many, and there are some who are stronger than us. Back then, our brothers offended the Northern Empire Magician Union, and we survived the siege of more than a dozen ninth-level magicians. A large-scale war with the Western Empire, so the two of us did not die. If the Western Empire did not care about us, we would have died long ago. They have a limit to controlling us. That is because we are the royal family of the Western Empire, and no one knows. The time for us to survive, hehe, boy, you are still too immature. Now that the Western Empire is going through a big change, we can only choose to stand on the side of the royal family of the Western Empire. As for the death of tens of billions of people, anyway, it is not only There are dead people in my Western Empire, how many people are there on the mainland? There will be 900 billion people soon, too many people is not a good thing, there are only so many places, so many people need Warcraft to help us digest, otherwise The population is exploding, and we can’t even eat enough to eat.” The old guy said with a smile, King Lear was dumbfounded that a tenth-level fighter could say such a thing, that this tenth-level fighter from the Western Empire could say With such words, many people in the Western Empire thought that the tenth-level fighters were people with both ability and political integrity, but they did not expect this to be the case.

Tenth-level fighters don't care about the life and death of ordinary people. This is a very normal thing, even King Lear himself thinks so. But there must be a limit to this. It cannot be a lot of people. Hundreds of thousands or even millions or even tens of millions of people can't be seen by King Lear. But if this number is An explosion of tens of thousands of times is no small matter. For example, tens of billions of people will die casually. This is when the operation is good. If the operation is not good, hundreds of billions are possible. This thing is not a joke, it is the King of Warcraft.

"You guys are so selfish. The matter of the Emperor of Warcraft is big or small. If we don't care about this guy now, then this guy will definitely grow very fast in the future. Now we just need to send a powerful The team can go in and search. Once we find this guy, we can quickly kill this guy. There is no need to die so many people. This monster will not have any big rebound, but wait until this emperor. .." King Lear didn't finish the rest of the sentence, tenth-level fighters are invincible. But among the invincible tenth-level fighters, there are even more powerful ones. King Lear slowly lost consciousness, and the tenth-level fighter who was drinking came over and gave him a bite.

"This Doriso, this kid is just chatting here when he has nothing to do. I really don't know if he really puts the world on this kid's shoulders, can he bear it?" The drinker continued after finishing speaking. Went back to his place to drink. If you don’t drink now, you may not have a chance, but there will be more things in the future.

"Hehe, it's rare that such a kid comes out to chat with our brothers. You are the only one who has a lot of things to do. Now it's fine, and there is no sound. Go to sleep." The tenth-level fighter who spoke also rolled over and went in to sleep.

Such a big matter was suppressed by the emperor of the Western Empire in this way. Such a thing had never happened before, but under the pressure of imperial power, this matter became possible. In many cases, everything should be given power Concessionary.

Looking at Li Cong again, now Li Cong took Bai Er and a dozen followers to a county below Jiangning City. The reason why Li Cong came here was because there was an Orion Village here. Back then it wasn't called Orion Village. It’s just that I don’t know when it started. The villagers here don’t like to take care of the farmer on the land anymore. They all went to the old forest outside to hunt. The hunting here is completely different from Li Cong and the others entering the Warcraft Mountains. Similarly, this is their base, they are very familiar with it, there are no monsters here, only some wild beasts, they rely on these wild beasts to live, the area of ​​this old forest is not small, otherwise, in normal times There won't be so many beasts for them to eat.

The reason why Li Cong came here is to hope to get a lot of archers. The most commonly used weapon for hunters is bows and arrows, so their bows and arrows should be very powerful. As long as they find a large number of such people, they can use Dan Give them a little push, and they will be archers. At that time, I can form a team of thousands of archers, all of whom are sixth-level archers. If they shoot magic arrows together, it is estimated that tenth-level fighters and ninth-level If the magician has to retreat honestly, of course, ordinary magic arrows are useless. The comprehensive magic arrow in Li Cong's hand is absolutely no problem. The combination of water and ice, fire and wind The combination is definitely the best match.

The distance from the small village to Jiangning City is not very far. If it is far away, Li Cong and the others will probably have to use an airship to go there. A dozen people talking and laughing along the way basically arrived at the place. Li Cong just said that he It's a manager of Cao's House, not the earl's. If something like that is caused, it will cause a big commotion. Even so, several managers in this town ran out when Li never came. Greeting Li Cong, they know what is going on with the Cao family. There are less than 60,000 people in this town, and more than 30,000 of them are tenants of the Cao family. They are also inextricably linked to the Cao family. The manager of the Cao family is more powerful than the county magistrate. This county magistrate is the biggest in their county with hundreds of thousands of people. An official, but the county magistrate seems to be a bit useless compared to the Cao family's steward. The county magistrate can only manage this one place, but the Cao family's steward is in charge of many places. They are naturally more respectful.

When Li Cong arrived in the town, he didn't make any stops, but the team expanded a lot, and there were at least fifty people. They all ran towards a small village about 20 miles away from the town. There are 350 households in Orion Village, and the village is all surnamed Chen and Li. There are less than 2,000 people. It is a small village around here. It is not a small village, and the life of the people in this village is quite good. In general, villages that specialize in farm work only have enough food and clothing every year. In addition to food and clothing, they can still have a little change here, and this recipe is much better than other villages. In other villages, the houses are usually made of earth, but here the prescriptions are at least made of stone, and the materials alone cost a lot of money.

"My lord, many people here have no one at home at this time. Now it's spring and they won't stay at home. They must have gone to the old forest. They all need to hunt at this time. Yes." The mayor said while nodding and bowing, the other people looked a little strange, the mayor was usually flaunting his might. The face of the official is very, very long. Many people know that their mayor is very authoritative. Only a few people know that the mayor is also very good at currying people, just like now .

"Well, mayor, this Orion Village is guarding a very huge forest, so I don't think they are the only village around here that has Orion. How many villages are there around?" Li Cong thought for a while and said, He didn't have the time to argue with these people.

"My lord, the area of ​​this old forest is not small. It is much larger than Jiangning City. This old forest is not just our county, it is the junction of the three counties. There are hunters everywhere here. There are too many, but all hunters have to go in here. Firstly, the people here are very familiar with the old forest. Some maps and so on are also here for us. Secondly, we A system has already been formed in this town, just like Jiangning City’s system for the entire Warcraft Mountain Range.” The mayor said with a smile, Li Cong originally wanted to go to the town just now. But thinking about doing serious things, I didn't go there to see what was going on, and there was no past in this town. Now that I think about it, I really should go there. Maybe there are many places in this place that I need to learn from.

Hearing this guy say that, Li Cong has his own worries in his heart, and he knows what to do about this matter. What he needs is a large number of archers, and there are obviously not enough archers in this village. It is absolutely astronomical to recruit thousands of sixth-level archers, but it is very easy to find thousands of ordinary archers. The reason why Li Cong is looking for these people is because they are familiar with the forest and so on. , They are also first-line archers. Although they are not fighting monsters, they basically have the same place. If you train a little in the future, this will definitely be no problem, and these archers are just what Li Cong wants to form. Part of the archers, and another part of Li Cong, can't be found from the people, but from the army. The archers in the army also have their own skills, and that is discipline.

The village head, Chen Changkui, has been waiting at the entrance of the village for a long time. In the morning, someone sent a message saying that the mayor will bring the guests over. This old guy has been waiting here early in the morning. The old village head has already He is eighty-five years old. For an ordinary person, such an age is very rare. Chen Changkui watched the team quickly bring his two men over. Li Cong glanced at it. The old village head Zhang really has a simple and honest look. The two people behind him are his two sons. Has this village also become a hereditary system?

"Lord mayor, you are here. I have been waiting for you since the morning. I didn't expect you to arrive at our place at this time. We are really anxious. Hurry up and enter the village. There is already a place for everyone." The honored guests are all ready for the whole sheep banquet. We don’t have much good things in this mountain. Those wild beasts are not very rare here. They are everywhere. This sheep is raised by ourselves. This thing is found in many places. But no, only the lamb here is the best." The old village head is obviously a person with no scheming, thinking that entertaining these people well is to let them eat and drink well, Li Cong nodded with a smile Now that he has brought himself here, these mayors don't need to stay here anymore, and it will be a burden for them to stay here. Li Cong gave Bai Er a wink.

Bai Er nodded and asked the mayor to go out. The mayor was also very flattering to Bai Er. This guy is just a foreign manager of the Cao family, but this outfit is not cheap. That pendant would cost thousands of taels of silver. Where can I get so much silver? I don’t have that much money. This town is not as easy to make money as those big cities. After all these years, I can only make my family better than ordinary people.

"Mayor. Our master Cao is resting here today. He is very satisfied with the reception here. You can wait for the good news later, mayor. Anyway, promotion is a sure thing." Bai Erxiao He said, such a hint from Bai Er can be said to be a very simple matter in the officialdom, but it is a pity that the mayor in front of him has not had much dealings with the people above him, so he does not know that this is a promise to him , I have to spend a long time with Bai Er's ink, not knowing what level of promotion this Gaosheng is. In the end, Bai Er used five hundred taels of silver to get away. If he had known that the money would be useful, he would have given it to him. It’s not like Bai Er didn’t know how to use silver. He really thought that the mayor’s level was relatively high. level.

After the dozen or so people outside left, the old village head and several elderly people in the village also let go. Their whole sheep banquet is really very famous here. The sheep's blood, sheep's whip and so on are really authentic. Li Cong's food is also very comfortable. Although this wine is not a good wine, it is also very comfortable to drink, although there is no winter now. It's so cold, but it's still very cold in early spring. So drinking wine in such a place is still very warm, and it is another kind of enjoyment for Li Cong and others to drink wine and eat mutton.

"Old village chief, I heard that there are quite a few people in our village who can shoot arrows?" Li Cong started to work when he was about to eat. He was looking for such a natural one, but he had no contact with it. Those who have crossed rivers and lakes are the best.

"Hehe, my lord, that's what I said. In the past, our place was not called Orion Village, and it has only recently become what it is now. All the men in our village know how to Archery, teenage children can go to the old forest to do business, they are not afraid of those beasts, although many people around go into the old forest to look for wild animals, but what they find is simply incomparable to what we found Yes, we found more than ten times as many wild beasts as they found, so our village is called Orion Village." The old village head was full of pride, and he wanted to say three things about showing his face. For three days and nights, the country people are simple in heart, as long as they are a little better than the villages around them, they will have face, but they don't know that the outside world is tens of thousands of times more exciting than here.

"The village chief is right. That's why we came here. To tell you the truth, old man, we came here to find some helpers. We are all from the Cao's business. This Cao Have you heard of Cao's House?" Bai Er saw Li Cong's eyes and continued, the old man could tell from the expression of Cao's House that he knew about it.

"How can you not know this? This is the largest grain merchant here. Our Orion Village is good at everything, but the problem of grain is not good. Although the prey is edible, it cannot be eaten all year round. Meat, that is very bad for the human body. Besides, we all want to eat some food, so we still buy a lot of food every year. In the past, those food merchants disliked us This place is far away and dangerous, so they are unwilling to send food over. When we go out to buy it, they will increase our price. Knowing that our village does not produce food, we have to buy food. We get 20 cents from others. Ten cents, there are too many things like this, but it’s all in the past. It’s been different since the Cao’s firm came. The old man, I see that he is doing big things, so I’m not a little bit of a fool Calculating on the basis of small profits, the grain we buy is the same price as others, and every spring and autumn, people will send the grain to us directly, and the price is only one penny more per catty, from the town to our place The travel expenses of this penny is also a capital, but we are very grateful to them in our hearts, you are also from Cao's house? No, it is not the time to deliver food, why are you here?" The old man said In concept, it seems that only those who come here to deliver food can come here. None of the others will come.

"Hehe, old man, we are not here to deliver food. The food delivery will take a few days. We are here hoping to find some helpers in our village. As you know, our business is running around. Ordinary people It’s not very easy for us to use, we need to find some capable people. Then someone recommended your place to us, we need some people who can shoot arrows.” Bai Er said while eating the leg of lamb, this is also true There is no need to hide it. In fact, although the current society is a feudal economy, many people have already seen that farming at home is not as good as making money outside. Most capable people generally go out to make money. The land at home can only be mixed with food and clothing.

"My God, is there such a good thing?" The old village head immediately dropped the leg of lamb in his hand, thinking that these people were the mayor's friends. I want to go for a walk in the old forest. In fact, many friends like the mayor came here in the past. They didn't want to go hunting in the old forest at all. They were looking for some prey in Orion Village. Well, when they left, they would buy these things at a very low price, and you have to sell them, because the mayor brought them here. If you don't sell it to others, the mayor's henchmen will come to find trouble the next day, and it will be a trouble for the whole village. Although the villagers hate such things, fortunately, only one year It's only two or three times, and Renren can pass. There is nothing to say, so everyone also acquiesced, no, since seeing Li Cong, as long as they have prey from all households, they have all gone back to prepare, and they have to gather a cart for them anyway.

"Hehe, of course it's a good thing. We need your powerful archers here, and the wages are not low. How about we can give you three taels of silver every month?" Bai Er said with a smile. Of course he is in such a place. Knowing what the price is for three taels of silver, the servants in this yamen are only two taels of silver a month. How can these hunters have such good luck?

"Three taels of silver, my God, are you kidding? This is not nonsense. My old man can't stand being fooled by you like this." The village chief jumped up from his seat. There is such a good thing. There are only two people with surnames in this village. They are related. Either this family married your daughter, or your niece came to my house. , all the people are basically relatives, and everyone is counting on going to the old forest to hang out. Although it is dangerous, there is still a balance of a few taels of silver in a year. It's only three taels of silver, so how can you not be excited, but the old village head also thought of another problem, it must be very dangerous to give so much money.

"Grandpa Cao, don't hide it from me. Is this thing particularly dangerous?" The old man's face showed vigilance, and Li Cong also said in his heart that many times these people can see the money, Can't see the danger, this old man hasn't lost his mind yet, if I were someone else, I would definitely agree to it immediately, and would I care about other things?

"Hehe, old village chief, it's impossible to say that there is no danger. I can only think that my own future is in danger. Could it be that your villagers are not dangerous if they look for wild animals in the old forest?" That’s impossible? They are also very dangerous, old village chief, the one I’m looking for is a dangerous thing, but it’s definitely not against the law, and I told you, as long as they are injured or disabled I will support their whole family for the rest of their lives, and if those who are unfortunately killed, I will give each of them a pension of one thousand taels of silver, and everything about the family will be the business of my Cao's business." Li Cong said firmly, telling these people that It is impossible that there is no danger. The secret army formed by oneself is very dangerous. How can it be done without making it clear to others.

Obviously, these people were frightened by what Li Cong said, and they all thought about one thousand taels of silver. They didn't know that this was in exchange for their own lives, and the faces of several people showed Looking yearning, it seems that it is very good to feel that one's life can be sold for one thousand taels of silver, but the old village chief's heart is a little beating.

"Brother, I think this matter is okay. It's not dangerous to do it anywhere. Look at the widows in our village, which one didn't lose their lives in the old forest. There are so many people in our village, every time they enter There are a few people in the mountains who can't come back. They die and have nothing. Our village can only ensure that they don't starve to death. We really don't have the ability to manage the rest. Do you remember the past? When the time passed, the man's family relied on the relief from the village every day. If it was a good year, it would be okay. But if it was a bad year, they would have to starve to death. Let's go out with the people from Cao's House. If something happened, it would be worth a thousand taels of silver, and even if he spends his whole life working in the old forest, he would not be able to get this money, and they would all be willing." A person next to the village chief said, he was in favor of this.

"Yes, village chief, I think this matter is basically possible. The number of people who have died in our village over the years is not a small number, but there is no blood money." Several other people also expressed Agree, although this matter came very suddenly. But these people also understand that this matter came late, but it is not dangerous to implement it.

"Village chief, if you don't worry about it, it's fine. As long as the people we choose can send a year's salary to their families first, so that their families can also have a stable life, I won't say anything about 36 taels of silver. How about I just give 40 taels of silver to each person directly?" Li Cong was a little moved when he saw the old village chief, and he had to strike while the iron was hot.

"Master Cao, we haven't encountered this matter before. It's not that I don't believe you, but I can't decide this matter by myself. There are more than a thousand people in the village who can enter the old forest. We all have to ask people for their opinions, don’t we?” The old village chief said with a bit of embarrassment on his face, “And now they are not in the village, they are all in the old forest, and they should be back in the next two days. If Master Cao has time, can you wait here for two days?" said the old village head, although he is highly respected in the village. But the caller still can't mess around.

"Yes, this matter should be like this. I was too anxious just now. Anyway, we have nothing to do and just wait here for two days. Old village chief, this is 50 taels of silver, which is a little bit of gratitude from us. It can be regarded as our accommodation expenses here for the past few days." Li Cong took out a fifty-weight silver ingot and said, the eyes of the people around him immediately looked at Li Cong differently, but they had never seen such a big silver ingot. A piece of silver, this head is very big.

"This...how is this so embarrassing..." The old village chief kept saying that he couldn't collect money. He was too busy talking just now, and he didn't think of such a thing at all. Now he understands. These people seem to be It's really different from those people brought by the mayor before. When did those people take out money? Most of the time they were asking for things.

After a few people finished eating, the old village head began to arrange places for these people to rest. There are still a lot of places left in the village. Li Cong and Bai Er lived in the old village head's house. The old village chief's six sons and three daughters are already married, and the youngest son is already helping him with some village affairs. The oldest son is already in his sixties. He broke his leg, his daughter-in-law ran away, and his child was gone, so he lived with the old village head. Li Cong and Bai Er stayed in the same room with this old man.

The long-term disability made the eldest son of the village chief very uncomfortable. Speaking of which, he has his own business. There is a small restaurant in the village. The prosthetic limbs he brings cannot go hunting in the mountains, but he can feast the whole sheep. I can support myself if I do well. What I want most in my life is to see my child. It is a pity that the child was taken away by that wife decades ago. He has no skills, so naturally he cannot find it When I came back, I was very sad after talking with Li Cong for a while.

"Brother, your craftsmanship is really good. If you want to go out with me to see the outside world?" Li Cong thought that if the special dishes of the Grand Hyatt Hotel can have such a craftsmanship, it should be very good.

"Hehe, I'm already like this. What are you going out for? My father told me just now that if I had been fine back then, I would have had a good future if I went out with you. You are from the Cao's House. , but in my current state, I can’t do anything except cooking, and I have to live in a good environment, which is not acceptable in the wild. If there is any danger, I will be dragged down by others.” Chen The boss is also depressed. Although the people in the mountains haven't come back yet, he also knows what happened to Li Lai. He can also make a lot of achievements. Speaking of hunting skills, there is no one in this village who is better than him in the past except his own father. Now, he still doesn't want that.

"Hehe, it's your ability to cook. How about it? Do you want to be the chef in a big hotel? If your skill can help me get a few more apprentices, your matter will be serious. , In this way, if you go, fifty taels of silver per month, including food and lodging, and a cook, I don't want him to be able to do it 100% like you, as long as he looks like you. How about I give you five hundred taels of silver more?" Li Cong said with a smile, if this whole sheep banquet really went to the Grand Hyatt Hotel, it would be worth this amount, and the labor of Boss Chen was given by Li Cong. It's cheap, but it's not like this in the eyes of Chen Boss, dozens of taels of silver? What a joke, even if Boss Chen's small restaurant is full of guests every day, it is impossible to have this kind of income for a year. It is five hundred taels of silver for one apprentice, and the whole village probably does not have this money for a year. Boss Chen thought that as long as he has money, he can find many people to help him find his son. Although he also knows that his son is in this county, he should not have gone far, but he just doesn't know where. If he has money, he can trust others, and his desire for money is also very powerful.

"But I can cook this whole sheep feast, and I can't do anything else. I've heard that all the cooks in this big hotel know a lot of dishes." Boss Chen said with some worry. Things are indeed a little difficult. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation..) Please share
