Chapter 437 The Newly Appointed Captain
The topic of the night was finally over. I couldn't say that I was completely happy, but I was definitely not unhappy either.
On the way to send her back, the female elf was unusually silent for a long time.
I walked side by side with her quietly, but her steps were very slow, and it took about twice as long as usual to send her home.
The masked female elf turned around and faced me for a long time, then suddenly murmured: "Are you telling the truth?"
"Huh? Which one?" I was a little confused and confused.
"It's nothing." She suddenly laughed, her voice was pleasant, and then she jumped up and landed two meters away like a butterfly. She turned around again and said to me, "Okay, I'm going back~"
I nodded, waved my hand, and when I saw her leaping down again and disappearing into the darkness, I turned around and went home.
That night, I couldn't say that I was tossing and turning, having trouble falling asleep, but there were always something on my mind.
The organization of the masked female elf was kicked out of the Second Young Master's plan. This was an invisible hindrance to my progress.
Although on the surface I am the same as before, I am still suffering in my heart. The current situation is different from the past. Many forces such as the eldest young master and the second young master are accumulating energy all the time, planning a conspiracy or a tragic coup.
We who are in it must either find a way to escape from the world in the shortest possible time, or find a way to gather a backbone in a short period of time that is enough to take root in this turbulent current.
Seriously, neither of these are easy.
As the saying goes: It’s hard to say goodbye to your homeland.
Phoenix and Barbara have an indescribable sense of familiarity and intimacy with this land, and it is very difficult for them to decide from their hearts to leave here.
As for cultivating the backbone, this is not an easy task and requires a double test of time and money.
However, now, time is tight, money is not much, and the turmoil is ready to move. The only thing that can be done is to use the same method over and over again - upgrade and strengthen one's own strength.
Since there is no way to cultivate their own combat power in a short period of time, the only choice is to do this, and then find a way to unite all the guilds that want to take root in the turmoil and are unwilling to succumb to any force.
It is not difficult to find such guilds, and there are even many of them, but there are not many that truly meet my union standards.
In fact, my standards are not too strict, but the conditions are somewhat limited: first, it must be a medium-sized or above guild configuration. Of course, if the small guild is full of elites with extraordinary strength, it is not a bad idea; secondly, the president and his guild members must We must stand firm, and we must not let the reeds on the wall fall in the wind; finally, we must be prepared to sacrifice at any time, because once the chaos breaks out, there is no chance that any organization will take advantage of the chaos to make a big reshuffle.
Currently, the only guild that truly meets these points is Harold.
It seemed that it was necessary to have a detailed discussion with him.
Early the next morning, after dinner, I said goodbye to everyone and went directly to the dungeon to spawn monsters.
I’ve been browsing Ghost Faced Spiders all morning, but Harold and the others haven’t shown up yet. I wonder: Could it be that he has something to do and won’t be here today?
While I was thinking about it, Harold led a large group of people and rushed over, saying hello to me from a distance.
I teased him: "It's quite late today."
"It's a little late." He wiped his sweat and said, "Today, the city protection team has a new appointment. Someone has replaced Clark as the city protection captain. As the captain, I always have to go over and give him the title."
"Hey, that's strange. You are the captain of the city protection team. Shouldn't you be the one who selects and selects the members of the city protection team? When will it be your turn to let others appoint them for you?"
"It seems that you have confused my responsibilities and authority." Harold said: "It is true that I am the captain of the city defense, but I do not have the appointment power of a captain, only the appointment power of an ordinary captain, and the appointment power of my position. The appointment power of the captain and the captain are all appointed by the city lord personally issuing a letter of appointment."
"Oh, I see. I thought you were the top official, but it turns out you are just a puppet for the city lord to give orders to."
I spread my hands to express my disappointment.
He coughed twice and said: "I can't be considered a puppet. I just need to obey some necessary orders. But most of the time, I still stick to my position and do things."
"By the way, who is the newly appointed person? What is his name? Is he from the Second Young Master's party again?"
"You guessed it right." Harold sighed: "The new captain is really the second young master. He looks very brave, and his name is also very distinctive, called Shan Yong."
puff!
I almost squirted out, Shan Yong? Is it that Shan Yong? Wouldn't it be a duplicate name?
So, I asked him about his characteristics and appearance.
Harold looked at me doubtfully: "Why are you asking these questions?"
I sighed and said sadly: "Of course I have to ask clearly. I have always been at odds with the captain, especially the captain sent by the Second Young Master. It was like fighting every time I met him. In order to avoid disputes, I have to find out who he is first. Characteristics and appearance, if you see someone from a distance, just walk around, wouldn’t it save a lot of trouble?”
Harold thought for a while and said, "Well, it's true that you don't get along with the Second Young Master's men, so I'll tell you. It's not a secret anyway."
Then, he described the characteristics of the new captain named Shan Yong.
My heart was as shocked as when hundreds of grass-mud horses were galloping past: He was really that brave man alone!
By the way, just a few days after receiving the attention of the second young master, he already plays such an important role? Is there no one left for this second young master? Or is it that Shan Yong's performance was too good and outstanding, and he received special attention?
After much deliberation, the first possibility is unlikely. In other words, Shan Yong must have done something that won the heart of the second young master.
Could it be ****?
I grinned, revealing an absolutely lewd smile.
"Xiaoyi, what kind of smile are you looking at?" Yura looked at me with eyes filled with deep worry.
"Ah?" I woke up as if from a dream, looked around, and then pinched my face: "Did I laugh?"
Yura gave me a look of disdain.
Harold said: "In short, when a new official takes office, he will be the first to deal with many things. After all, these are extraordinary times. You'd better avoid him to avoid further trouble."
"Ah, okay," I said, "I'll definitely hide."
Although the answer is this, I still decided to go to the casino to meet Shan Yong this afternoon and get a feel for him.
After a day of fighting monsters, we walked out of the dungeon tiredly and said goodbye to Harold and others. I went straight to my house, wanting to take a nice and comfortable bath and discuss other things later.
When I passed the weapons shop, old Patch was sitting at the door and stopped me.
"Huh? Is something wrong?" I asked him.
Old Patch took out a letter from under his buttocks, handed it to me, and said, "Here, the letter for you was sent by the same boy last time."
Seeing me looking at him with black lines on my head, Old Pachi chuckled and said: "I was tired just now from standing, just like sitting and waiting, but in the end I was too lazy to go back to the house to get a bench, so I just used this letter as a cushion. It's okay." Son, don’t delay and watch.”
I:
