Chapter 169: Conquer the Baron and Stabilize the Situation [Subscribe]

Faced with Chen Xuan's urging, Baron Bezos looked tangled.

His brows were almost tangled together.

"The situation in the city is continuing to deteriorate."

"It is difficult for the outgoing garrison to quickly join the Bangcheng garrison."

"And after you disappear, can those Bangcheng chiefs work together?"

"Think about your foundation in Magtan City..."

Chen Xuan continued to launch a verbal offensive, trying to gradually break down the old guy's defense.

For Baron Bezos, he had already noticed something wrong around him.

Mainly because the free magic power of Blue Star was too thin, which made him a little suspicious.

That is, Chen Xuan could break through the blockade of the black light shield and take him to an unknown place through long-distance transmission.

As the governor of Bangcheng, both his character and experience were far from those guys that Chen Xuan had previously subdued. It was not easy to make Bezos bow his head and accept his fate.

"Sorry, I still don't trust you!"

Baron Bezos hesitated for several minutes and chose to refuse.

However, he still addressed Chen Xuan respectfully.

"I may not trust me, but you can't not trust the contract, right?"

"Forget it, it's the same if I go to find your wife."

Chen Xuan was already a little impatient. Instead of chatting, he might as well go and grab Mrs. Zuzana.

Mrs. Zuzana usually never cares about municipal affairs and fungi control.

But she is of noble birth after all, and according to the information Ophelia has found out.

Magtan City was still managed by the Finley family ten years ago.

And the Finley family is Zuzana's mother's family.

As long as Chen Xuan controls Zuzana through the contract and makes her show an extremely strong external performance, there is still a chance to take charge of the overall situation.

Just as Chen Xuan was about to [cross the border] and leave, Baron Bezos, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly spoke with a trembling voice.

"Don't go to Zuzana, I agree to your request..."

He seemed to be frightened by Chen Xuan's words about going to Zuzana, and he immediately agreed to cooperate.

This made Chen a little confused.

Judging from Baron Bezos's previous performance, this guy is not someone who can be easily fooled.

Not only does he look hard-hearted, but he is also stubborn and unyielding.

I didn't expect that the weakness of such a person is his original wife.

Speaking of which, Baron Bezos and Red-haired Ursula also seem to be ambiguous.

Would such a man care about his original wife?

He naturally didn't know Bezos's self-psychological construction and changes after the disaster.

Chen Xuan only cares about the result.

As long as Bezos is willing to sign a contract, the initiative will be back in his hands.

With a slight shake of his wrist, Chen Xuan took out a silver-level contract bead.

"Very good, then let's start the contract now."

When he left the Naroa continent, he was still within the scope of the Baron's castle. To be on the safe side, it is better to sign a contract first and then return [across the border], so this contract bead cannot be saved.

When the two sides have confirmed the master-servant relationship, Chen Xuan can use the characteristics of the golden finger activated during [Cross-border] to modify the validity period of the contract.

Chen Xuan used the contract bead as a medium and sent a contract invitation to Baron Bezos.

A soul contract emerged in the minds of both parties.

This time, Chen Xuan had drafted a draft a long time ago.

It is similar to the "sell-body contract" of the kitten girl Rebecca, which seems to have restrictions on both parties of the contract.

This kind of contract is very disguised, and the slave party is more likely to accept it when signing the contract.

Anyway, Baron Bezos didn't know that Chen Xuan could modify the contract.

The contract that directly acts on the consciousness level can be read through almost in an instant.

So Bezos's expression visibly relaxed.

He thought the terms of this contract were fair and not as strict as imagined.

After confirming that there were no problems and loopholes in the terms of the contract, he took the initiative to leave a soul imprint and signed his name on the contract.

The contract was successfully concluded, and the invisible induction was established in the hearts of the two.

Chen Xuan raised his hand and took off the mask, grinning and revealing a gentle smile.

Then he untied the magic spider silk that bound Baron Bezos's hands and feet.

"In the future, you will definitely thank the decision made today."

"Then from now on, we are our own people."

Chen Xuan said in a heroic tone, and stretched out his right hand to the Baron who was sitting on the ground.

Bezos, who got rid of the spider silk, climbed up Chen Xuan's wrist with his hand wearing chain gauntlet and stood up.

He looked at Chen Xuan's handsome face with a complicated expression, as if he didn't expect that this "mastermind" was so young.

"Hold on, let's go back."

Chen Xuan whispered, he was now eager to go home and just wanted to return to Magtan City immediately.

Hearing his words, Baron Bezos subconsciously grabbed his wrist.

Then the space singularity appeared, and after a sudden collapse, the two disappeared at the same time.

...

Two hundred kilometers east of Magtan City, on the main straight road leading to the giant city of Atax.

This place has been separated into two worlds by a black light shield.

Several groups of traveling merchants were trapped by the light shield on this side close to the Magtan city layer.

Since the change happened, they have tried countless methods, but none of them could break the isolation of the light shield.

This pitch-black barrier was despairing, and neither magic nor physical attacks could leave any trace on it.

The caravan guards dug a large pit more than ten meters deep, but they could not touch the edge of the barrier.

This shows that the barrier should be spherical, because the caravan could not send magic messages to the outside world.

Similar situations occurred almost at every border of the black light cover.

Some were fleeing adventurers and mercenaries, and some were traveling merchants and refugees.

No matter who it was, there was no way to break through the restrictions of the barrier.

According to the rhythm of the sun and the moon, Naroa had entered the daytime at this time.

However, affected by the black light cover and the black clouds, the area was still pitch black.

As far as the eye could see, the black light pillars in the distance still stood between heaven and earth.

Like pillars, they formed a wonderful formation.

And the elliptical void transmission channel was still in the making, but as time went on, the void channel, which rotated like a nebula turbine, became more and more solid every minute and every second.

The appearance of the light shield cut off everyone's retreat.

Those mercenaries and adventurers who wanted to escape in the chaos showed despair.

Now there is only one choice before these people, that is to return to Magtan City as soon as possible and rely on fortifications for defense.

Also affected are the settlements, farms and cleverly hidden villages within a radius of one or two hundred kilometers around Magtan City.

These are hidden populations.

When the regional crisis broke out, most people chose to move closer to the city!

There were only dozens of fixed monster caves around Magtan City.

Those settlements and villages were built in the blind spots of the caves.

Except for some monsters that wandered by occasionally, they were rarely troubled by monsters.

There are tens of thousands of such hidden populations near Magtan City, which is also a force that cannot be ignored.

Before the governor of Bang City issued a mobilization order, countless hidden populations drove cattle, horses, mules and other animal-powered carts, carrying food and belongings to Bang City spontaneously.

…

Chen Xuan stood on the terrace of the castle study, overlooking the city scene in front of him.

As the core area, the castle was originally located at a high point in the city.

Therefore, standing at this position, you can almost overlook the distant view of most of the city.

It has been half a water clock since he subdued Baron Bezos and successfully completed the contract.

Converted to Blue Star time, it is nearly one and a half hours.

Baron Bezos first experienced the shock of the contract change, and then had to quickly accept the reality under the restrictions of the contract.

He obeyed Chen Xuan's orders, quelled the riots caused by the previous disappearance, and summoned the chief officer of the state city. While gathering the garrison troops returning to the city, he asked the major associations to restrain adventurers and mercenaries.

At the same time, the Broken Finger Gang and the Coolie Mule also received the magic letter sent by Chen Xuan, stopped leading the rhythm in the city, and turned around to disperse the civilians who were making trouble and help restore order in the city.

Chen Xuan's arrangement was very simple, that is, to stabilize the situation in the city first.

Then Baron Bezos will take the lead and sign contracts with the chief officers and association managers of each state city one by one.

In this way, the goal of controlling the entire city can be achieved.

At present, everything is going well. Standing on the terrace, Chen Xuan can see that the fire points in the distant town are being extinguished in an orderly manner, and the chaos has been completely curbed.

The streets are replaced by garrison patrols holding torches.

From a distance, these patrols are like a glowing long snake, winding along the street.

"Bang..."

Just as Chen Xuan was looking at the distant view, there was a sound from the rune door of the study behind him.

Baron Bezos, wearing full armor, walked in dusty.

He came to Chen Xuan and stood behind him, then knelt on one knee.

"Master... Master!"

"The situation in the city has stabilized."

"All the rioters have been dispersed, and the few rioters who smashed and looted have been arrested and detained by the garrison."

"There are 39 fire points in the city, and the losses are not clear yet."

"The main bodies of the major fortresses and towers are intact, and the magic shield generation device is intact."

"The current garrison has more than 90% of its troops assembled, and 10% are still in a state of separation."

He respectfully reported the situation in the city to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan listened sideways and nodded slowly.

"You did a good job."

"Have the people entering the city from the settlements, farms and villages outside the city been prepared for resettlement?"

He asked casually, and Baron Bezos, who had been prepared, raised his head and gave a positive answer.

"People have been sent to the defense lines of the villages outside Magtan City to receive them."

"All measures have been arranged according to your instructions."

After accepting his fate, Baron Bezos found that being a slave was not unacceptable.

At least the mysterious young man in front of him is rational enough and makes decisions in all aspects.

Maybe he is really good and can withstand the first wave of monsters!

As long as it can be delayed for a while, the abnormality around Magtan City will definitely be noticed by the giant city.

At that time, there will definitely be kingdom-level forces involved, which is the only hope in Baron Bezos's heart.

So after a psychological struggle, in order to survive, he really adapted to the role of a slave.

Chen Xuan was quite satisfied with Baron Bezos's diligent performance.

At least it is more than enough to solve the problems in the transition period.

Now he has more things to ask Baron Bezos, and he will go to see the Baron's treasure house.

After all, Bezos is the lord of a city, and there must be a lot of good things in his treasure house that are hard to buy on the market.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan smiled slightly and turned back to sit in the wide back chair next to the desk.

"You get up first, I still have a few questions to ask you."

Hearing his words, Baron Bezos immediately stood up, not daring to be negligent, and stood in front of the table waiting for his inquiry.

"What is your relationship with Ursula?"

"She doesn't seem to have a good relationship with Ansethus."

Under the contract, Bezos couldn't lie, so he just hesitated a little and told the truth.

"Ursula is my childhood sweetheart."

"She was pregnant with my child, but I had to marry Zuzana according to the family's instructions."

"Ursula finally chose Ansitus as her husband."

"At that time, Ansitus's elf wife had just died."

Baron Bezos told the whole story of the incident in a stiff tone, solving the last mystery in Chen Xuan's mind.

He narrowed his eyes and then asked the second question.

"So, Howard is your biological son?"

As soon as this was said, Baron Bezos's expression changed and he nodded sadly.

"Yes!"

At this point, the answers to many questions are self-evident.

Ansitus is indeed not a simple guy!

But Chen Xuan did not intend to tell Ophelia the truth. His intuition told him that things were not simple.

And he also noticed the seven black light pillars that appeared in the north of the city.

That was exactly the direction of the Misty Canyon.

The mystery of the disappearance of the Autumn Fairy Caravan has not yet been solved, but Chen Xuan has already known that there must be something wrong with Ancetus.

He sighed in his heart, Ophelia, this little girl, can be said to have a bad fate.

After knowing the situation in his mind, he looked at Baron Bezos again.

"I roughly understand your relationship."

"Next question."

"What is the displacement ability you activated when you were in crisis before?"

This question is easy to answer, and Baron Bezos answered without hesitation.

"Divine contract, that is a life-saving divine contract I signed when I was young!"

As he said that, he unfastened the lock of the breastplate, tore open his shirt, and revealed the very faint tattoo.

"This is the mark of the divine contract, which is now invalid."

He said with some sighs, and then explained the cost of the conclusion of the divine contract.

This made Chen Xuan feel relieved immediately.

Chen Xuan was not unfamiliar with the concept of divine contract. His top dual talents were wool pulled from the divine contract.

The divine covenant itself is a special method existing in the Naroa continent!
