Chapter 65: Gold Chapter Handwritten Poems and Magic Potions (5K)

Who? Old Cherry?!

Rock stared at the frightened old Cherry.

How can this ignorant and petty profiteer, who thinks that he and his brother are unaware of the situation, be the mayor?

"I..." Old Cherry's throat was dry.

"I do!" His voice was hoarse, but his eyebrows were raised.

Why refuse.

Even if I have to obey Lind in the future, it's still possible for me to be the mayor.

"Very good," Lind was very satisfied. "Then Mayor Cherry, go gather the residents who haven't arrived yet and tell them the good news."

Lind threw a few tasks to the undead nearby, and the undead immediately acted as bodyguards happily. With their previous ferocious killing style, the undead were really intimidating.

"The Imperial Army asked me to bring you a message!"

The corner of his mouth twitched. He shouldn't have thought that this group of people could be serious.

……

……

Luo Ning gently turned his wrist to relieve the soreness in his arm caused by hanging his arm for a long time.

It was completely impossible for him to raise his arms at this stage, so it was okay to say that he had no strength to resist for the time being.

"That bastard!" Seeing his former mayor's hall burned down by the fire, Roning's smile, which he had finally adjusted, disappeared again.

He looked at the undead beside him.

Too many things have happened in the past one or two days. His useless younger brother suddenly brought a mad wolf who followed the new nobility. Doesn't that idiot know that he and his brothers were once part of the old nobility?

There are ways to remove the label, but why would the new nobles bother removing their own labels? All they want is Prey Town. The most likely scenario is that the new nobles took Prey Town, and then killed their two brothers to save trouble and effort.

The younger brother became the mayor of Prey Town, and then, his own brother was forced into a desperate situation by the other party.

Then, the mad wolf died and he was released.

The level of drama and twists was so high that Ronin wanted to invite those bards who were good at writing to sing about this outrageous experience.

The soldier next to him was neither a wanderer nor a soldier of the old nobility. Ronin even sensed a kind of clear stupidity in him.

This kind of people are the most troublesome, because being too "pure" will make them stubborn. Just look at their attitude and you will know that they will definitely obey the orders of the old noble who occupies the town of Prey.

In fact, when Roning heard that a group of people were trying to break through the wall of Prey Town by carrying only ladders in a suicidal manner, he thought that these people were crazy.

Is the chivalry of the old nobility really that important?

He didn't think he could persuade a group of death-defying warriors to rebel, so Roning kept his mouth shut. If it was someone like Mad Wolf, he might have used some conditions to get the other party to rebel.

For example, handing over one's own potion formula, one's own copied poetry collection, or even a gold seal.

But he felt that he could save his saliva for these people. They had already proved their loyalty with their death and would never betray him for the sake of profit.

The person leading the way in front stopped and Roning looked forward.

Blocking the way were the quadruplets.

He has short black hair, is strong, and carries a large sword.

The rough smell and the stench of cruelty and blood hit me in the face.

There are actually people who look so similar.

He looked away.

There are people who are so beautiful.

Moreover, these people look very similar. It’s amazing that so many twins suddenly appeared.

Roning finally looked at the two figures who were chatting.

One was Old Cherry, a merchant from Prey Town, and the other was a blond man wearing chain mail and a cloak. His tough face that could be cut by a knife or an axe and his hard-to-conceal nobleness made Roning identify at a glance that the other person was the old nobleman.

Old Cherry was a little afraid of Roning, so he shrank his neck and stepped aside, but Roning ignored him.

"Roning, nice to see you again." Linde noticed Roning and came over to greet him with a smile.

Luo Ning forced a smile and asked, "What do you mean 'again'? Do we know each other?"

"A few years ago," Lind took the initiative to remind him, "when the world hadn't become so bad, I came from Goliath and went to Star Dragon Outpost. During that time, I also came to Prey Town and went to the church several times."

"Sir!" Luo Ning immediately lowered his head.

In fact, he didn't remember who the other party was. When he mentioned the Star Dragon Outpost, he only thought that the other party was a soldier of the kingdom stationed on the border. The Rand Kingdom is located in the heart of this continent. There are at least 8,000 soldiers stationed at the outpost. They are not big shots at all. But if it was Goliath, it means that the other party's identity is not simple... But why would a noble blood aristocrat, the blood of gold, come to a remote place.

Only Goliath could make Ronin interested. Anyone who came from the Golden City must have some status.

You will never go wrong if you call the other person "sir".

"I once served His Royal Highness the Crown Prince," Lind mentioned casually.

Luo Ning suddenly understood.

After failing in his bid for the throne, he came out to hide.

He could even think that if the magic ring had not suddenly collapsed, the young man in front of him would have returned to Goliath long ago with the nobility in his blood.

Although he didn't care about the so-called noble blood in his heart, he was still very respectful on the surface.

"I am honored to see you again, sir!" Luo Ning's attitude was very good, and even though he racked his brains, he couldn't remember when he had met him before.

That's what socializing is.

"I'm glad you're okay too! When I heard you were held captive by a crazy barbarian, I was so angry that I immediately brought people to kill you."

The corners of Luo Ning's mouth twitched. This was too fake.

The undead next to him even laughed out loud.

"Hahaha!" Linde laughed and patted Luo Ning on the shoulder. "The attitude is mutual. I thought you were used to this kind of hypocritical chat. So, you didn't know me at all, right?"

Luo Ning looked at Linde and couldn't figure out what he was thinking. Was he an honest old aristocrat who didn't bother to do any cunning, or an old aristocrat who was good at disguising himself?

The undead people on the side listened with great interest, especially when they saw Linde teasing Roning, they also laughed along, making Roning's face turn very ugly.

Can't these soldiers be managed properly? They don't know respect or inferiority at all!

No one follows the rules, but Luo Ning has to follow them, so he has to be well-behaved.

"I have irreconcilable conflicts with those barbarians who call themselves 'new nobles'," Lind said. He didn't care whether Roning believed it or not, but he certainly believed it himself.

"The old gods have died, but the spirit of the knights still allows us to maintain the lowest bottom line. Those barbarians actually think that it's okay to eat man-eating wanderers, which means they deserve to die just the same!" Lind said: "Even if we no longer pray to the sun and the moon, we should still abide by the bottom line of being human!"

This is the truth in his heart.

He could accept starving to death, and he could also hunt other people in order to survive, but he absolutely could not accept drying corpses as food reserves, and he even delved into the taste.

"My war with them was just a coincidence," Lind said, "and it has nothing to do with you."

Roning nodded. It was pretty much what he thought. Linde had no reason to help him, and the other party had no reason to attack Prey Town. If they wanted to fight, they would have done it long ago.

As for the fact that Lind accidentally seized Prey Town when he killed the new nobles... he'd better pretend that he knew nothing. It's impossible for him to let Lind evacuate from here. Just pretend that he has never been the mayor of Prey Town.

"Anyway, you helped me regain my freedom. I have something to give you." Roning lowered his head and started to offer a gift.

Linde smiled and did not refuse.

Didn't he let Roning out just for the things that Roning had hidden? Otherwise, with his personality, he would definitely kill Roning first and never leave any danger overnight.

People living in the doomsday have basically the same logic in doing things.

With Luo Ning leading the way, Lin De entered the secret room of the mansion with him.

Looking at the opened door of the hidden cellar, Lind sighed in his heart: Time is still too tight. If the undead were given a few more hours, they would definitely be able to find the cellar.

The torch shook the two men's shadows and pressed them against the wall.

Roning rummaged around and took out three things and handed them to Lind.

A piece of parchment.

A manuscript.

There is also a palm-sized seal that emits a bright green light.

Another "blessed weapon".

Lind looked at the moving bottom of the seal and thought of the gold seal ticket, so he looked at Roning with an inquiring look.

Ronin nodded: "Yes, this is a seal with the power of the magic ring. I call it the Golden Seal."

"What's the effect?"

"It can leave a unique mark." "So you use it to make currency, gold seal notes?" Lind looked at the seal and felt that Roning was a bit wasteful.

How can a seal with only an anti-counterfeiting mark be considered a “green” weapon like the Broken Sword of the Scavenger Princess?

It seems that some research is needed.

He set his eyes on the second item, the manuscript.

I flipped through it casually and found that it was a handwritten collection of poems, a bit like his "Praise the Sun".

"I once believed in Yuni," said Ronin, "but I could not gain Yuni's favor."

"Unnie is always picky" Lind nodded in approval.

Among the three old gods, Zasa, the god of death, has no believers, and Uni, the moon witch, has harsh conditions. Only Leo, the witness of the sun, teaches everyone and has the strongest power, with churches everywhere.

He just didn't expect that Roning actually had the heart of a wizard.

If I had chosen Leo Lion, maybe his strength would have been stronger than mine, and I wouldn't be so embarrassed now. Forcing myself to follow the path of Yuni, but not getting any better... Ronin's strength now should be that of a half-step great knight?
"So I copied a copy, and after spending enough money," Ronin sighed, "it's not easy to figure out Yuni's thoughts. Even if I listen day and night, it's still hard to gain anything. I just hope that He and the moon will look at me, trying to gain truth from it, but it's hard... Maybe you will be the believer chosen by Yuni."

"Haha," Lind burst into laughter. "You must be kidding, or are you just trying to get me to shout 'Uni is above'? We all know that they disappeared a long time ago. Even if I wanted to hear them, I couldn't."

"The potion allows you to hear His voice." Ronin continued, pointing to the last harvest.

Lin De's smile faded. How could this guy be so sensible? He was embarrassed to take the benefits and then kill someone.

The last thing, a piece of parchment.

A potion recipe is recorded on it.

"What is this? Uni's potion?" Lind looked at the potion formula. Although he couldn't understand it, he knew someone who could understand it.

"Maybe... yes." Luo Ning didn't nod directly, but a look of enjoyment appeared on his face: "After I drank it, I heard Yuni's whispering voice, which was intoxicating and accompanied me to a good dream."

Look at you, you are so ignorant! You must have never heard of ASMR, which is not only pleasant to the ear, but also looks great.

A double enjoyment of vision and hearing.

With the Knight Potion of the Sun Witness and the Mage Potion of the Moon Witch, Lind should have mastered two ways of advancement.

I don't know if the two-headed man can be considered a variant. Although it hasn't been studied yet, it can be considered 2.5 types.

The harvest is really greater than I imagined.

"That's a nice thank you gift," Lind nodded, "Where are you going next?"

This was the money Roning paid for his life, and Linde accepted it with a clear conscience, because he could still find it even if Roning didn't give it to him.

Of course, he couldn't take Ronin in. Without Ronin, Prey Town would be obedient, otherwise who would own this place? Letting Ronin go was Linde's last act of mercy.

"Let's go to a distant cousin of mine." Roning's answer was vague. He didn't really want to reveal his plan to Linde.

"Wish you a safe journey."

The most important thing at the moment has been solved. Next... a pretty face flashed in Linde's mind.

Miss Micko!
The potion formula and the ownership of Prey Town are not as important as her!
She is a pharmacist, she is the most precious...

……

Linde and Roning left the cellar together, and it was already bustling outside.

He can wait for old Cherry to report to him for the details.

Everyone was gathered in the small square, and they squatted with their heads in their hands, one by one.

The undead have already found work for themselves, but unfortunately most of them are dead. It takes a long time to run over from the Star Dragon Outpost, and there are definitely not enough people at the moment.

The soldiers in Prey Town felt a little numb when they saw Linde and Roning coming out together.

How many mayors are changed in one day?

Before I even had the chance to get to know him, my boss changed.

The vast majority of people still hope that Roning can continue to be the mayor. Although he exploits people severely, they will also provide protection.

The new adult is too murderous, I’m scared.

"Can I take my brother away?" Roning looked at his brother Rock, then turned to Linde and asked.

"He is not my prisoner," Lind said Roning could do whatever he wanted.

The two brothers supported each other and left.

The city gate opened, and the backs of the two brothers gave hope to the residents who were squatting with their heads in their hands. They stretched their necks and looked at the gate eagerly.

But at the same time they are hopeful and afraid. The Roning brothers are not afraid of the disasters and wanderers outside, but they are just ordinary people and going out would be seeking death.

What will happen if I stay? I won't be skinned and have my blood drawn.

An undead man came up to Lind and said, "My Lord."

"Ok?"

The undead pointed at the two brothers who left through the gate, then wiped his neck: "Neizut?!"

"Keep your word and let them go."

I have to say, this group of undead really likes to add to their own scenes, which truly shows that they have stolen the show.

Linde looked around the scene and saw residents squatting with their heads in their hands. There were less than a hundred of them, but it was already a lot.

These are all human beings, and they don’t look like undead people.

He walked towards Old Cherry, and as he bowed and waited respectfully, he said, "Have everyone register and record their detailed information, including name, age, where they are from, what they do for a living, what skills they are good at, etc."

"Yes!" Old Cherry nodded. All he had to do now was say yes.

"And," Lind asked, "Miss Micko, has she left Pree Town?"

Old Cherry looked at Lind with wide eyes.

I didn't expect you to be such a lord!

……

The last time the two met was late at night, but the Rabbit Tooth Witch left a very deep impression on Linde.

Whether it’s the cute face, the little rabbit teeth, the silver-white hair, or the hamster-like pocket.

When we met again, she hadn't changed much, except that her facial features looked clearer in the cool sunlight.

Lind could sense the faint aura from her. He had never expected that Miss Miko was also a strong man of the "Grand Knight Rank", but he was too ordinary to notice it last time.

"Ms. Miko, please don't blame me for asking you to come here."

As Lind spoke, he glanced at the undead people surrounding him from a distance.

Fortunately, most of the dead have returned to the living point, otherwise this place would definitely be surrounded inside and outside. The situation is not very good now, and everyone is like they have never seen a woman before.

"Lord Linde? I wonder what you want to do with me?" Miko looked up at Linde, feeling a little unhappy. Why is this man so tall!
It's very tiring to look up at people.

"Maybe Miss Miko, you would be interested in making potions?" Lind said, "I would like to hire you as the pharmacist of Star Dragon Outpost."

"Materials, gold stamp tickets, potions..." Miss Micko counted on her fingers. She didn't think that poor Lind could take out what she wanted half a month ago.

Even if she could take it out, she could only make a potion at most? It was not enough to waste her time. She just wanted to find another buyer.

"No problem!" Linde said, "Whether it's the Heart of Disaster, the magic herbs, the mutant plants, or any part of Disaster's body, it's not a problem."

The undead can handle it on their own and never get tired of it.

Mi Ke sniffed and felt annoyed. This person didn't tell the truth!

You may only have one or two potion ingredients in your hand, and saying that it is not a problem is just bragging.

“How many will you make?”

"At least... sixty copies!"

"How many!!"

Linde seemed to see long rabbit ears standing up on her head.

"Sixty copies! And this is just a preliminary estimate. There will be more in the future."

Miko had already started to have a brain storm: for every potion I deduct one material, sixty portions are sixty portions, and then there is the loss, which means I have to earn at least seventy or eighty portions of materials. Even if I get them back later... it's no problem!
Her eyes became brighter and brighter, and the way she looked at Lin De gradually became different.

It turned out that tall people are very reliable, much more reliable than the stingy and cunning short and fat man like Roning. I wasted so much time trying to get some benefits from Roning.

"In addition, I also hope that Miss Miko can provide other potions," Lind continued, "and help research other potion formulas."

"Do you have any other potion recipes?"

Miko looked at Lind and sighed in his heart, this guy is so pleasing to the eye!
