My farm does not raise idle dragons
Chapter 101 The Young People of the Popstein Family
After hanging up the communication, the expression on Mayor Sienqi's face changed again and again. The butler at the side carefully approached and handed over a clean handkerchief.
Mayor Sienqi took it, wiped the unobvious sweat on his forehead, and breathed a long sigh of relief. When facing Miss Lucy, he looked very calm, but deep down he was very nervous.
After all, the visitor from the Popstein family is still a "guest" in his home. If Miss Lucy shows any dissatisfaction, he will inevitably bleed again.
Although Miss Lucy left Marco and the others at Lingbo Farm in the end, to Mayor Sunch, they were not as important as a few hundred gold coins.
"Master, has it been solved?" The housekeeper asked after seeing Mayor Sienqi's expression stabilize and not too ugly.
"Solved." Mayor Sienqi nodded, thinking of the one hundred thousand gold coins, with a painful expression on his face.
Even if the one hundred thousand gold coins wouldn't break his bones, it was still not a small amount after all.
I didn't get the expected benefits, and even gave away [-] gold coins. It was a real loss.
"Trash Marco." Mayor Sienqi cursed fiercely. Although he knew in his heart that Marco was not to blame for this incident, he still wanted to curse a few words to vent his anger.
Visitors from the Popstein family had arrived at Mayor Sienqi a few days ago, but he had not taken the initiative to pass on the news to Marco because the communication element magic weapon could be activated only once every five days.
In fact, he just wanted to bet on the possibility of "cooking rice before cooking" - Marco didn't know what was happening here, and he would definitely follow the previous order to plot against Miss Lucy.
If the plan succeeds and Marco gets hold of Miss Lucy, then even if the Porberstein family is here, Mayor Sunch will have the confidence to negotiate.
Even if he failed to take a big bite out of Lingxuan Farm as expected in the end and share the majority of the profits, Mayor Sienqi would still be able to join in for a sip of soup.
It's a pity that Miss Lucy is not easy to control. She directly controls Marco and the others in Lingbo Farm. She is obviously not afraid of his methods.
No wonder, when the Rolette family left, she dared to stay and inherit an abandoned farm of the family.
Yes, Lingnan Farm is actually an abandoned farm, but it's not completely abandoned.
The main reason is that the previous owner of the farm, "Mrs. Charlotte", did not choose an heir in time from her illness to her death. It was definitely impossible for her to recuperate on the farm and return to the family, so the farm Most of the manpower was brought back to the family by her.
Only a small part is left to maintain the basic operation of the farm, such as growing food. But without the owner, the food can only be piled in the warehouse and cannot be sold without authorization, nor can it be processed into other things.
What Mayor Sienqi is interested in is actually that the old grains that have been piled up in Lingbo Farm for so long have the farm's elemental array. The quality of the grains produced within at least ten years can be guaranteed and can be used as new ones. Grain is sold.
As for the farmland that has not yet been harvested at Lingbo Farm this year, the value alone will not make Mayor Sienqi jealous to this extent.
But this news can only be guessed by Mayor Sienqi. After all, the location of Lingbo Farm is within the jurisdiction of Croaker Township, and sales have been carried out through Croaker Township in the past.
The most important thing is that there is a patrol team members in Crook Town passing Lingbo Farm every month. They must be the clearest about the changes in Lingbo Farm, and it is normal to analyze the information from them.
It was also because he had been paying attention to Lingyan Farm that Mayor Sienqi was able to immediately take action after Miss Lucy appeared. He had been waiting for this opportunity for who knows how long.
Of course, what really prompted Mayor Sean to be willing to take a gamble was the departure of the Rollelte family, the news that Miss Lucy met an accident on the road, and the fact that he found this was the most suitable opportunity to take action.
"Go and send the news." After waving to the butler, Mayor Sienqi leaned back in his chair a little tiredly.
Part of the reason for this failure was that he didn't dare to break up, and only dared to use this method that would not hurt his bones even if it was exposed. If he was willing to make a bigger bet, this plan might have succeeded.
However, when he thought of the young man from the Porberstein family, Mayor Sienqi sighed again. If he really did that, I'm afraid it wouldn't be something that could be solved with [-] gold coins now.
The Crocker family has been able to survive to this day because of this caution. Maybe the mouth is not opened wide enough and the food is not eaten enough, but when it chokes, it will not be too uncomfortable or directly fatal.
"Wait a minute, there are still those [-] gold coins." Stopping the housekeeper who was about to leave the room, Mayor Sienqi added.
One hundred thousand gold coins... Tsk, my heart really hurts.

"puff"
Just as the figure on the disk disappeared, Lu Xi saw Annie, who was holding the disk, suddenly fall down. Her face was as pale as the male low-level elemental mage next to her.
Seeing Lu Xi's gaze, Marco took two steps forward to please and explained Lu Xi's voice.
"The communication elemental magic weapon can be activated only once every five days. Each time it is used, a large amount of elemental power is consumed. The elemental power previously stored in the communication elemental magic weapon is not enough. In order to avoid communication disconnection, the two of them use their own The elemental power is used as a supplement to maintain communication. Some of them are out of power, and they can be recovered after taking a rest. You don't have to worry too much about them, Miss Lucy."
He also heard what Mayor Sienqi just said, and knew that he would have to live under Miss Lucy for some time in the future, so his attitude changed quite quickly.
There is no arrogance that an intermediate elemental warrior should have.
Long before Miss Lucy came over, Mayor Sunch had already talked to him a lot. Only then did Marco realize that although the Rolette family could no longer provide any help to Miss Lucy, there was still someone behind her. There is the Pawstein family.
Even though the Poperstein family is not as famous as the Rolette family, their background is not weak at all. It's just that this family is relatively low-key, and the outside world rarely knows the news.
If he had known about the relationship between Miss Lucy and the Porberstein family, Mayor Sunch would not have any inappropriate thoughts.
The family inheritance rights of nobles are not differentiated between men and women, and they are not even based on names. Anyway, names can be changed at any time.
For example, a man from family A marries a woman from family B and gives birth to a child. The family name that the child inherits depends on who is more powerful, and whose family is stronger, the child will naturally bear the name of whose family.
If family A is strong, the child's name will be called so-and-so A. If family B later becomes stronger, the child can naturally be changed to so-and-so B. If family B approves, there will be no problem. Anyway, the child has the blood of family B.
In the same way, if family B is in decline but still valuable, family A may take the initiative to rename their child so-and-so B to inherit family B, and then wipe out family B completely.
The reason why marriages between nobles must be "well-matched" is that in addition to the exchange of interests and the need to support each other, the fear is that the gap between the rich and the poor is too large, and the disadvantaged families will be directly annexed, and no one can confirm that their own The family can prosper forever.Therefore, it is not surprising that the Popstein family appeared to solve Lu Xi's troubles. To the nobles, every member of the family is very important - the kind of family members whose parents have status, and illegitimate children. Doesn’t count.
Obviously, Miss Lucy fits this requirement.
Lu Xi glanced at Marco and was a little amazed at his "knowledge of current affairs", but she didn't pay much attention to what he said.
One look at this scene and you can guess it.
The patrol team is patrolling outside. As the most important elemental mage, it is certainly impossible to use elemental power to maintain communication elemental instruments. Therefore, the communication elemental instrument itself can only store a certain amount of elemental power, but the stored elemental power is at most It only takes a few minutes, which is enough to send a message.
When Lu Xi came over, she had spent more than ten minutes on the road, not to mention that Marco and Mayor Sienqi had been chatting for a long time before she came.
Without letting the two elemental mages serve as "humanoid power banks", Marco had no other choice.
Knowing that he was the culprit that caused the two elemental mages to become like this, Lu Xi didn't feel any guilt at all.
After all, she is the victim!
Lu Xi glanced at the living room, and together with Marco and Mayor Sienqi, a total of 21 people lined up.
Except for the two low-level elemental mages, the remaining 18 people are all low-level elemental warriors.
This ratio of team members is obviously unreasonable. Normally, a patrol team should consist of one low-level elemental mage, plus four to five low-level elemental warriors, and five or six intern elemental warriors.
The so-called intern elemental warriors are people who have not yet successfully integrated elemental power into their bodies, but have this talent, which only requires time and experience. Because they have been trained for a period of time, their physical strength is stronger than that of ordinary men. Stronger, but still unable to control elemental power.
After all, the mission of the patrol team is only to patrol, not to be a professional combat team that hunts monsters, so it is normal to add half of the new people to the patrol team all year round and train new people during the patrol.
When encountering monsters that are beyond the scope of their own combat capabilities, the patrol's task is to pass on the information about the monsters, not to destroy these monsters. Therefore, there is no problem if the members of the patrol have weaker combat capabilities.
This was obviously a team specially formed to target Lu Xi, but it actually gave Lu Xi an advantage at this time.
There are definitely more things that low-level elemental warriors can do than trainee elemental warriors - now, they all have to do things for Lu Xi.
"The two of them are resting here. You and others can clean up the monsters around the farm. Is there any problem?" Lu Xi looked at Marco, who was tall but hunched over. His voice sounded like a smile but not a smile. .
Marco stiffened, not daring to say anything to refute, and nodded repeatedly, "No problem, of course no problem."
Before Lu Xi could say anything else, Marco had already wisely directed the people under him to walk out the door.
When he reached the door, Marco stopped subconsciously, raised his hand to confirm that the barrier at the door was no longer there, and then walked out.
Lucy lowered her head to look at the two low-level elemental mages. The two of them just collapsed on the ground without any strength. Their consciousness was still very clear and they did not faint.
"Do you have anything else to do?" Lu Xi asked. She had to make sure that these two people would not die suddenly here.
The two of them shook their heads at the same time, looking weak, which really had no credibility.
But Lu Xi nodded, not doubting them, "Okay, then you two have a rest here for a while, and when you can move, go to the square of the farm, which is southwest of the door."
"When your captain comes back, tell him that you will live with those slaves for a while."
Lu Xi didn't feel guilty at all for arranging a group of elemental mages and elemental warriors to live with slaves, because there was no place for outsiders to live in her farm.
Besides, to her, Marco and the others were "captives", and their status was no different from that of slaves.
"Oh, by the way, I have given your tents and other things to those slaves, understand." Lu Xi turned around and took two steps before looking back at the two low-level elemental mages.
It would be too shameful to take back the things she gave away.
The two low-level elemental mages nodded repeatedly, and even a little color appeared on their pale faces.
Lu Xi then left without looking back. She turned around and went to the square first, telling Cross that the hunting team's daily hunting mission had been cancelled, and that it would be better to wait until the training was in order.
Then he told Cross about Marco and the others. Marco would have to live with Cross and the others for a while, so it was necessary to familiarize themselves with the situation in advance.
"Well, Miss Lucy, if they don't come back..." Cross asked hesitantly. It's not like they were just slaves. Marco left Lingbo Farm. Even if Lu Xi wanted to chase them, there was no way to bring them back.
"They can't get away." Lu Xi was very confident, not because she had anything to control Marco and the others, but because if Marco ran back to Crook Town, she wouldn't need to say anything. The president will also send Marco back as soon as possible.
Unless Marco plans to leave anonymously and never return to Croak Town again, he will not do anything stupid.
Following Lu Xi would mean working as a coolie for a few years at most. If he could get Miss Lucy's favor during this period, the treatment might be even better than if he returned to Crook Town.
Marco himself can definitely understand that this incident is probably an opportunity for him.
After briefly arranging things for Cross, Lu Xi stretched out and called Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo back later. With the Marco patrol team here, there was no need for the two of them to hunt monsters.
Next, focus on following her to grow vegetables at home, and wait until the harvest season is over.
Lu Xi thought so, but what happened unexpectedly was a bit unexpected.
"Miss Lucy! Several children in the village are missing!"
good!Finally wrote it here! ! !
Mayor Sienqi took it, wiped the unobvious sweat on his forehead, and breathed a long sigh of relief. When facing Miss Lucy, he looked very calm, but deep down he was very nervous.
After all, the visitor from the Popstein family is still a "guest" in his home. If Miss Lucy shows any dissatisfaction, he will inevitably bleed again.
