Chapter 321 [347] Strategies (today's explosion of 18000)

After nightfall, the soldiers of Lord Abrams' private patrol team naturally went to the only tavern in the town to drink. After all, there is really no entertainment in this town, except that the tavern has a bit of a special taste There is not even a place for men to have fun other than making their own wine and selling it.

These people are used to doing things recklessly, and they were going to grab a few women to have fun, but in the end, none of the beauties were seen, and those who swayed in front of them intentionally or unintentionally were either crooked melons or aunts. , All of them suddenly lost interest, and could only come to the tavern to drink and have fun.

"Papaya, it's a good day. These guys are very good. We just beat up a few guys who didn't have any fighting spirit, and let them agree to be under Lord Abrams's rule from now on, and we are willing to make up for it. Three years of taxes, and, moreover, five gold coins for each of us. After going back this time, according to the management of the lord, it seems that [-]% of the overcollected three years of taxes will be rewarded to us. Now, It’s enough to keep us nourished for half a year.” Once he drank too much wine, people would talk more.

"Well, even if these people are smart, don't even think about it. In the past five or six years, those who did not accept these two conditions, a few of them are still alive. On the contrary, those who are obedient, the lord can give them A way to survive. Our lord is considered a benevolent lord in this area. As long as you sincerely support him, he will never force his people to death." It seemed that the leader drank the wine for half his life , biting a large piece of bacon, said with some emotion.

"This is the cleverness of our lord. As long as he sincerely supports him, he will be his chicken that lays golden eggs. Only fools will do it." The guy with a quicker brain said with a smile .

"Hush~ There are some things, as long as you understand them in your heart, don't talk nonsense. Don't talk nonsense, someone is coming." The captain who was leading stopped his subordinates from talking nonsense.

The curtain of the tavern was lifted, and six men who looked like miners with dirt on their bodies came in.

The people who came in were all laughing and joking at first, as if they had made a fortune, but when they suddenly saw the private soldiers of Lord Abrams here, their smiles suddenly froze, and then, one A serious expression sat down on the table away from those private soldiers.

"Boss, here are two jars of old wine. Don't fool us with those ordinary wines. We have money." Although a slightly younger young man was suppressing his joy, he revealed his truth as soon as he opened his mouth. The man was forced to sit down, and he was not allowed to speak again.

Those private soldiers just looked at those people like this, you have a bowl, and I drink a bowl of good wine that is a few cents more expensive than their wine.

"Boss, they obviously don't look like rich people. Where do they have the money to drink such expensive wine?" A private soldier asked in a low voice.

"Don't talk, give me a drink and pretend to be drunk for a while. They obviously made a fortune by drinking this way, and they will get drunk in a short time. At that time, they will spit out all their secrets themselves." The leader whispered to his subordinates.

Those private soldiers really started to eat and drink, and soon, they poured one by one on the wine table.Of course, more than half of them were pretending to be drunk.

"Xiong Bing! You will be drunk after drinking this little wine. Grandpa can drink all eight of you." The younger "miner", who had already drunk a little, was lying on the table for those who were already drunk. The aristocratic private soldier who was talking nonsense on the Internet disdainfully boasted.

"Don't talk nonsense, give me a drink honestly." An older "miner" reminded the young "miner".

Then there was another burst of eating and drinking.

"You said, when will those crooked soldiers of the nobles leave?" Once people get drunk, the most cautious people can't control their mouths.No, the old "miner" who reminded the young "miner" just now also brought up this topic after he got drunk.

"It's best to leave tomorrow. He just pays them the taxes he wants. The important thing is to send them away as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be bad if they know the secret." A middle-aged strong man squinted his eyes, Zhangkou said.

"That's right! If they find out that we dug the magic crystal mine there, how can we have such a good time to come and drink in three or two days?" The young "miner" was young after all, He slipped up again.

"Shh~ you idiot, how dare you say anything, if those guys overhear you in a daze, our mayor's plan will be ruined." A miner beside him who didn't seem too drunk He slapped the kid on the head and said to him.

"Oh, did I speak a little too loudly? I lower my voice, lower my voice. Hehe~ However, that thing is not easy to dig. As you can see today, there are five or six hundred skeleton men in that valley Ah. Moreover, these skeletons are quite special. The mayor invited people to test them out and said that these skeletons are very powerful. There are three skeletons for a normal one." The young miner really lowered his voice this time. .

"What are you afraid of? The mayor said, after the idiot noble soldiers are dispatched, and the situation is stabilized, he will hire 22 mercenaries to come back because a large number of skeletons have appeared around the town and threatened the safety of the people in the town. Clean up those skeleton men. After those mercenaries are gone, we can dig with confidence. At that time, everyone in our town will be rich. This time we hired mercenaries, and our family also pooled [-] A gold coin." A "miner" said disapprovingly.

"That's it, that's really great. When the mercenaries are invited, we need to clean up that area of ​​monsters by the way. That place is still a bit far from our town." The old "miner", Said very calculatingly.

"Yeah, but fortunately, it's a little far away from our small town. If it's too close, when we dig in the future, won't the nobles discover it sooner or later?"

"Speaking of which, everyone can have a good life in the future, thanks to my son. If it wasn't for that kid who was too naughty, he secretly threw him out of the town and fished in the small river to the west. I found him, and I was going to give him After a severe beating, he dared to run away. We ran after each other, and he fell down. A magic spar was thrown out, and it was impossible for everyone to find that place..."

"Hey, stop talking. I think everyone is drunk. This is not a place for chatting. Let's all go home." A "miner" who was relatively drunk saw that everyone was getting more and more excited and his voice was getting louder. Said to everyone.

After some persuasion from him, those "miners" staggered and went home happily.

As soon as those people left, the private soldiers sat up one by one.Glancing at each other, they left the tavern together.

"Boss, what should we do now?" A private soldier asked the captain with bright eyes.

"That person just said that that place should be a valley, and there is a river to the west of the town, and that place is near the river. Let's go and find out first. Be careful, everyone. I heard that there seem to be hundreds of comparisons there." I have never seen such a powerful skeleton man. I have never seen a skeleton man worth three. Although the words of those who don't know how to fight may be exaggerated, but there are only a dozen of us, and we are probably fierce against so many skeleton men. Duoji Shao. So, be gentle with me, if anyone makes any noise, I will skin him." After the captain explained something, a dozen people left together from the west of the town, all the way to West, walked for nearly an hour, and when they were about to give up, they finally heard the sound of running water.

"Damn, why is it so far away? I almost thought I was being tricked." The captain didn't have a good temper, and he was on the verge of breaking out.However, now that he finally heard the sound of water, his anger was suppressed immediately.Because, if what those people said is true, then what awaits him will be a great credit.A magic crystal mine?Just thinking about it makes my heart stop beating.

"Now, let's divide into four groups, spread out, and explore both sides along the river. If we find something, we will send a message with a horse whistle." The captain said, and divided everyone into four groups. His group Including him, there are six people, and the other groups only have four people.However, everyone dared not have any opinion on this.

As the detection progressed, after a full half an hour, the captain did not hear the whistle of the horse, but it didn't matter anymore, because he saw the valley with his own eyes.

"What a clever skeleton man. He knows how to keep watch?" Although the captain was a bit insidious, greedy, lustful, and afraid of death, he also had two talents. Several checkpoints, moreover, those checkpoints are arranged extremely reasonably, almost anyone who wants to enter the valley will be exposed in front of them.This made him dare not whistle.Because, he didn't know if those skeleton men would be alarmed once he blew the whistle.

"Captain, these skeletons are really special. Look at them, they seem to be wearing armor. I grew up with this kind of skeletons. I have entered the natural disaster three times for level trials. This is the first time I've seen it." A captain's confidant looked at the skeleton man dangling over there, and couldn't help whispering in surprise.

"Well, it's also the first time I've seen this kind of skeleton man. This also shows that what the villagers said is that one of these skeleton men can fight more than three, and it is still credible. Six sons, you are the best at scouting, you Get closer and check to see how many of these skeleton men there are. We can go back and report to the lord, remember, check carefully." The captain ordered a subordinate who was a thief.
