Chapter 300
"I'm laughing at myself," Lu Lin said. "I used to worry about whether you could handle those troublesome things when you became the city lord. Now it seems that my worries were completely unfounded."
"Well, you can't say that," Auro said with a bitter smile, "Although I may see this matter clearly, as a city lord, there are too many things to be responsible for, and I have no experience. What a mess."
"It's okay. There will be some problems like this at the beginning, but as a saying goes, the whole world is actually a grassroots team. Don't think that the city lords of other independent city-states in the chaotic land must have done a good job," Lu Lin He said, "Don't worry. If something goes wrong, just find a way to solve it. If you can't solve it, come to me. We can always find a way."
"Ah, I feel relieved with your words," Auro said with a smile.
"But let's put it this way, I originally planned to run and lie down in the beautiful forest after finishing my work here. It seems that things have to be postponed again," Lu Lin touched his chin, "I just feel that if I don't go, I'm afraid that the other side will It won't be long before someone comes to look for me. I don't want to leak the situation here. I'm afraid it will be troublesome then. I guess if someone does come, they still have to find a way to intercept them in Oasis City... …”
"Well, I think so. I will make up my mind about this later," Auro nodded, "But the people sent by the other party will probably be brave. No one knows what kind of methods the people who come will have. I’m afraid it won’t be easy to intercept.”
"It's okay. Since you can't stop it, let's change your thinking," Lu said, "Just let the other party come to you on the initiative?" "
"You mean..." Auro frowned slightly, "Spread some news? Falsely report your location?"
"Yes, since they are here to find me, then just let them think I am with you," Lu Lin nodded, "And the headquarters cannot be exposed at the moment, so I have a merciless request. Please wait. Let me...”
After saying that, Lu Lin went upstairs.
Not long after, Lu Lin came downstairs with another robe.
On the back of the robe, a big cat face was clearly printed.
Arriving at Auro's side, Lu Lin handed the robe to Auro and said: "Put it on, and you will be the Holy Fire Meow Meow from now on... Bah, I mean, your external identity is 'Ben Wei' ”
Chapter 471: That is the legend of the Lord of No Country flying across the sea of sand
Lu Lin had actually considered finding a substitute for himself a long time ago.
It's not that I need to find a scapegoat to protect myself, but as an alchemist with impressive self-preservation ability, it's not a wise choice to show up frequently.
The reason why the leaders of the major forces dare to show up so frequently is largely because they are strong enough to be assassinated without fear.
However, if the leader of a force is weak in frontal combat and lacks means of self-protection, such as the Great Gash Cult and the Black Demon School, the top leader of the force is generally not good!4⑧≌♦Yitshaosugi⑶蕶焐嗖〈※妦_: Will show up in person, but will let a spokesperson do it on his behalf.
Wuxiang currently has no one who is particularly suitable to serve as Lu Lin's spokesperson. Considering the actual situation, Lu Lin has not yet reached the point where he has to find a spokesperson.
In this case, making Auro his substitute at this stage has become a good transition plan. ⒐
On the one hand, he can represent Lu Lin in the short term and take charge of matters related to Oasis City. On the other hand, if the White Witch really wants to find someone to see Lu Lin, he can also intercept the person first to prevent the other party from finding him along the way. Come to Wuxi Headquarters.阾
Although Auro was shocked at first, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was quite reasonable. ④
Anyway, the three cities are currently under closed development, and they will not have any contact with outsiders in the short term. They have exchanged information with the senior officials of the other two forces. At least during this period, there is no need to worry about the problem of being exposed. ⒏
So Auro finally took over Lu Lin's clothes. Si
It's just that the size is a bit too small for him, and he has to have it altered by Jarruh before he can wear it. ②
"By the way, since I want to pretend to be you, do I have to find a girl who is similar in height and body shape to follow me, so that she will be more presentable?" Oro said. 9
"Well, that's best," Lu Lin touched his chin, "I can ask the night elves later to see if there are any suitable candidates."〇
"That's it," Auro nodded, "But then again, not only my side, but you will also have to hire a servant in the future." Wu
"My side? Ah," Lu Lin looked at Jia Lu aside, suddenly enlightened.
After all, Jalu is Auro's follower. If Auro wants to go to Oasis City, he will naturally follow him.
Except for who is responsible for the driving work of Dilong here in Lulin, Jia Lu is responsible for all other aspects of his life.
To be honest, it has always been quite reluctant for him to handle so many things on Dilong's back alone. When there are many things, Auro and Lu Lin have to help.
L thought about it carefully and realized that it was time for Lu Lin to recruit two people to take care of the chores on Earth Dragon's back.
IAlas.
After thinking about it, I was convinced.
After all, Qun is also a high-level alchemist, but he still needs to recruit people to do miscellaneous work.
:If it were anyone else, I would leave all these matters to the familiar.
⒏Of course, Lu Lin had no dissatisfaction with the ferrets, but it was just that he couldn't summon other familiars except the ferrets, which still made him feel a little overwhelmed.
Wu, how about he also wants two people from the night elves?
⒎It doesn't seem impossible, but the lack of people in Oro is due to a reason. Lu Lin is simply short of handymen. If he goes to the night elves to recruit people, it really doesn't seem like the behavior he should have towards his allies.
㈥Hmm...
Six, but you can't accept people, so you can accept disciples...
③No, it doesn’t seem to be possible. It would not be good to let others know that Lu Lin recruited apprentices to serve as handymen. It would not be good to tell others.
si "It's more troublesome than I thought," Lu Lin touched his chin and frowned slightly, "If I had known, I should have recruited a few more people when we were in Kenemer."
"Huh? Recruiting people, recruiting people for what?" A familiar voice sounded from beside him. Lu Lin turned his head. As expected, the only one who would appear like this without anyone noticing was Luo Di.
② Seeing Luo Di's sudden appearance, everyone else at the table was startled. Tanumi reacted the fastest and almost made a sword fight.二≈4°◇33 Zero Wu Zhong≥! Qun: It’s on Luo Di’s neck.
Then Lu Lin grabbed him with ease.
He didn't know how many times he had seen this scene during this period. Every time Luo Di left for a while and reappeared, it was inevitable that he would come back.
After explaining Luo Di's identity to everyone in the shortest words for an unknown number of times, the atmosphere was as usual and instantly became quite silent.
As for the reason...
A person you don't know suddenly appears and scares you. After all, the people around you will explain to you that in fact you know him, but you can't remember him. Anyone will doubt their life and start to search for their own. memory.
However, what is different from the past is that this time Liumi's reaction is obviously greater than before. Although the facial changes are still not obvious, Lu Lin can still notice that there are many more expressions on her face.
For example, when Luo Di appeared, she seemed to be frightened for a moment. After hearing Lu Lin's explanation, Lu Lin actually read the slightly complicated emotion of "embarrassment" on her face.
After she sheathed her sword, Lu Lin could feel that she seemed to be slightly apologetic towards Luo Di.
I don't know if she had such a small change in her heart in the past, but at least on the surface it would not show it at all.
At least Lu Lin couldn't see any performance from her.
"What a sign..." Lu Lin couldn't help but think, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Li Mi glanced at Lu Lin.
Then, Lu Lin suddenly felt the soft flesh of his waist being poked. His waist shrunk, he twisted, and he looked to the side with a look of astonishment.
But Tanuki beside him was looking ahead expressionlessly as always.
Lu Lin was suddenly confused.
What's going on?
Five illusions?
⒎Or is the ferret back?
⒍"A Diao?" Lu Lin tried to shout, but received no response.
Liu, on the other hand, was Luo Di who said, "Huh? I asked below about your familiar before. It should take a few hours to complete, but don't worry, it will definitely not time out."
③"Huh? Oh, that's good," Lu Lin nodded.
(4) What happened just now? Hedgehog ℃ 40% off purchasing agent: And ⒐‘□鷷÷ˉ潾偲三五∞+tumor√ resembles‖′?
Si Lulin glanced at Li Mi again.
⑵Although his face still looks expressionless, it feels like there is a smile on his face.
It's just too slight, I don't know if it's an illusion.
Just when Lu Lin was confused, Luo Di spoke: "By the way, what were you talking about before? Why are you recruiting people?"
"Ah, this," now that the conversation was about business, Lu Lin stopped dwelling on the episode and explained the situation to Luo Di.
"Hmm... there is a shortage of people," Luo Di touched his chin, "Now that Wuxiang is talking about it, it is true that there is a shortage of people from top to bottom in every aspect, but considering the nature of Wuxiang, you should actually recruit them most. The manpower must be from another world, right?"
"Yes," Lu Lin nodded, "I have also been thinking about this matter. It may not be realistic to enter the empire to save people at the moment."
"What is more feasible is to use commercial routes to find ways to rescue some of the undead armies that are still circulating in the slave market. It shouldn't be too difficult to cooperate with the Great Gash Cult, but first we still have to have some skills. Gold will do.”
"But you also know that most of the undead army has limited intelligence, language skills, and common sense of life. They can do little else except expand the army."
"The expansion of core members depends on instigating brave men, but it is not easy to meet brave men. As for the so-called 'capable men', most of them are in the most difficult places to find within the empire."
"So based on the current situation and conditions, it is really difficult to expand Wuxiang's core team."
At this point, Lu Lin sighed.
In the final analysis, Wuxiang's establishment time was too short, otherwise he wouldn't have had to recruit people from Como to complete the construction of the headquarters.
"It seems that you have already considered this matter, so I'm relieved." Ruo Di nodded, "Actually, regarding the servants... do you mind using slaves?"
"Slaves..." Lu Lin crossed his arms, "Actually, in my opinion, slavery is really a backward system, but if you buy slaves to temporarily expand your manpower, it shouldn't be impossible, right?" ⒏
"Backward? It's based on the concept of the world you lived in," Luo Di said noncommittally. "But in fact, in this world, at least in a chaotic place, it is almost impossible to ensure that everyone who works is absolutely trustworthy. In this case, if you need to ensure the absolute loyalty of your subordinates, in addition to familiars and puppets, the only thing you can consider is probably slaves bound by contracts."wu
"Contract..." Lu Lin touched his chin.
児The means of compulsory loyalty are indeed a factor that has not been considered. ⒍
In addition to the consideration of confidentiality, even if you recruit workers in towns outside the desert, you must not let the recruited people go, and you must limit their contact with the outside world. 鑥
Since this is the case, it might be more convenient to find slaves directly. ⒊
"Well, let's be direct. Since you asked me this, it seems that you have a recommendation?" Lu Lin asked. 4
"I guess so," Luo Di nodded, "Didn't you always say that you were short of assistants? Now you need people to do odd jobs and take care of your daily life. In this case, I may be able to find a suitable candidate for you, but they are all slaves, and they can only be slaves." Temple
See "Can only be slaves?" Lu Lin frowned slightly, "Why?" 2
“It’s very simple, because these people were captured by the Hall of Execution,” Luo Di said, “and before we caught them, they all worked for the Holy Church.”

④————
sThe “suitable candidate” Luo Di mentioned was a small organization called “Kailela Baiyaohui” before.
OThis organization has only five people in total. It is more like a team than an organization.
uBut don’t look at the small size of this organization. All five members are alchemists, most of whom are intermediate alchemists. The most powerful alchemist named “Kailela” has reached the level of a senior alchemist at a young age.
sAlchemists are relatively rare professions. In the small town of Diling where Lu Lin was, an intermediate alchemist could dominate the area and act tyrannically.
UEven in a chaotic place, such an organization is extremely valuable to attract, even for those so-called medium and large gangs.
OAnd at this level, even if they are not learning black alchemy, it is at least enough to help Lu Lin.
: Although Lu Lin can also send tasks to the school as usual, contribution points are not blown by the wind after all. It is naturally no problem to use them for emergency. If you need to refine advanced formulas for a long time and in large quantities, and all of them adopt this method, it is somewhat unprofitable.
So at least in Luo Di's opinion, Lu Lin will need to recruit assistants sooner or later.
This is also the reason why he would recommend this group of people.
As for why they are all working for the Holy Church, it is because this small organization called "Kailela Baiyaohui" has always been active in the power area of the Holy Church's support forces, and has provided many years of help to the Holy Church's support forces.
9 Even the reason why they were caught was that they were discovered by the Black Magic School when they were carrying out a mission with a small force supported by the Holy Church, and then they were captured by the Black Magic School after the force was wiped out.
In fact, generally speaking, with the Black Magic School's style of doing things, once they catch someone, they will not keep them in their hands for too long.
8 If they are useful, they will make full use of them, send them to the forces that are interested in them, or directly absorb and enslave them themselves, anyway, the main thing is not to keep idle people.
2 If they are useless and insignificant, the Black Magic School will generally release them directly and be done with it.
4 As for those who are useless and cannot be released, they are more miserable. They will either be directly dealt with or used as materials for refining something.
3 And the group of people in the "Kailela Baiyaohui" are actually a group of "particularly useful" people.
3. This level of alchemist team can be sold at a good price to any force, but the Black Magic School is not in a hurry to sell them, but chooses to keep them at home and wait for the price.
LIN waited and waited, but the good price order did not come, but Lu Lin targeted them.
Originally, Luo Di was thinking of buying this group of people, and then arranging them in the headquarters of the Xingshitang, helping the Xingshitang with logistics work on weekdays, and taking tasks to earn money when he was free.
SUO hadn't made a move yet, and he met Lu Lin who wanted people. He thought about it and felt that these people were just right for Lu Lin.
SUO's only worry was that he was afraid that Lu Lin would be soft-hearted and cancel their slave contracts.
qBut obviously, he was worrying too much.
uLulin did not approve of slavery, but after all, he was a person who traveled through time and space from a world where "God Dao Culture" prevailed. If it was for the sake of keeping secrets, Lulin would not hesitate to kill people to silence them, not to mention just maintaining the slave contract.
nOf course, as for how to treat these people, it depends on what kind of people they are.
:You know, in Lulin's side, if they are bastards from the Holy Church, they will not be treated as human beings.
After getting Lulin's answer, Luo Di was relieved and said that he would have someone escort these people over later, and let Lulin wait.
