Chapter 397 Black Mountain Town ([-])
The lizardman monster looked at the prey in front of it, its mouth split open and drops of stinky saliva dripped down.

It slowly approached Gerald, with a greedy gleam in its eyes.

For it, human beings are precious and supreme delicacy.

Gerald took a step back and took out the scythe he was carrying with him in a panic. Even though he knew that the scythe would not be able to hurt the monster at all, having the scythe in his hand made him feel at ease.

"Go away, you bloody monster." Gerald raised his scythe and couldn't help shouting loudly.

However, his scolding was useless to this monster.

The lizard man in front of him was already approaching, and the lizard man moved very quickly, walking in front of Gerald in two or three steps, and with a slap of his claws, he knocked out the sickle in Gerald's hand.

Gerald was so startled that he tripped over a stone and his whole body fell to the ground at this moment.

The lizardman opened his mouth and rushed over. Seeing that Gerald was about to die here, Gerald was so frightened that he screamed in horror.

At this time, a wind blade slashed across, splitting the lizardman monster that was charging in half.

Gerald's eyes widened, and he looked at the lizard man corpse that had been divided into two. His chest was heaving and he was panting heavily.

"Are you okay?" A faint voice came from behind, startling Gerald who was still in shock.

Gerald quickly turned around and looked back, and found a young man standing behind him. Gerald breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm fine."

Gerald, who came back to his senses, looked at Gao Feng and then at the lizard man's body. He already understood what happened before, and said gratefully to Gao Feng: "Thank you for saving your life. If it wasn't for you, I would have Already dead."

Gao Feng said calmly: "No need to thank you, it should be."

Although Gao Feng's attitude was a bit dull, it was still much better than most nobles, which made a good impression on Gerrard who was nervous.

Gao Feng said: "By the way, you are going back to Heishan Town now, and I happen to be going to Heishan Town too. How about we go together?"

"Great, it's your first time here, let me show you the way." Gerald said hastily, he felt much safer with a master like Gao Feng walking with him.

Seeing that Gao Feng was about to leave, Gerald looked at the lizard man's body and said frankly, "My lord, this lizard man's body can also be sold for money. Would you like me to bring it back for you?"

"Can corpses be sold for money? I don't think this corpse is useful." Gao Feng said strangely.

Gerald quickly said: "It can be sold for money, it can be sold for money, its meat is useless, but its skin, bones and claws can be sold for money. Such a corpse can be sold for at least dozens of silver coins."

Gao Feng suddenly realized that the lizard man's corpse was naturally worthless and useless in his opinion, but among ordinary people, skins, skins and bones are useful and can be sold for money. For the poor, even a few dozen silver coins are worth it A great fortune.

Gao Feng smiled and said, "It was going to be killed before, but now that it is dead, it will naturally belong to you. It can be regarded as its compensation to you."

"Mine? This is not good." Gerald said hesitantly.

Gao Feng shook his head and said, "I'll go first, you can figure it out yourself."

Seeing that Gao Feng turned around and left, Gerald carried the corpse on his back without hesitation, regardless of the bloody and disgusting corpse, he quickly chased after him with the lizard man's corpse on his back.

To him, dozens of silver coins are also very attractive.

Gerald was very strong, and he was carrying a dead body weighing more than 200 kilograms, so he quickly chased after him.

The physique of the humans in the Radiance Continent is generally much stronger than that of the people on Earth.

Seeing Gerrard chasing after him, Gao Feng asked, "What's your name?"

"My lord, my name is Gerald."

Gao Feng asked: "I see that your work is also very dangerous, and you don't make a lot of money. Why didn't you think about going to other places to change jobs?"

Gerald shook his head and said, "I didn't think about it that much. My father and grandpa all did this, so that's what I did. I heard from the mayor that the outside is more dangerous than ours, and those people are worse than our life." Bitter, at least we still have a bite to eat, I heard that there will be a famine outside, and some people will starve to death."

Gao Feng nodded, understanding them somewhat.

Their situation is very similar to those of the mountain people in the mountains of their own country. The mountain people live in the mountains. Even though life is very difficult, because of their limited knowledge of the outside world, they feel that life in the mountains is good, and they have never thought of going out of the mountains. , look at the outside world.

They never knew that the outside world was completely different from the mountains.

As for the mayor of Heishan Town, Gao Feng doesn't know much about it. He only knows that the position of the mayor is not static, but will be re-elected every few years. However, generally speaking, to be the mayor is at least a nobleman. .

Before coming, Gao Feng had already inquired, because this place already belonged to his own territory, so the position of mayor no longer existed, and he had the right to appoint or cancel the mayor.

What is a lord, the lord is the local emperor here, and everything here is managed by himself.

Gerald in front of him is the resident of Gaofeng's territory. Gaofeng has the right to kill him without committing a crime. This is the lord's right.

Of course, Gao Feng is not that cruel to his own people. If possible, he will find a way to make the life of the residents in his territory better.

As for the mayor of Heishan Town, if he is obedient, he will stay. If he is not obedient, then get the hell out of him.

After thinking about it, Gao Feng asked, "Tell me about the situation in your Heishan Town."

Gerald was stunned for a moment, what is there to say in Black Mountain Town, it's just that, it's just that the adults in front of him have saved his life, and the adults want to hear what they want to say, but where to start?
Gerald opened his mouth, but he really didn't know where to say it, so he could only say in embarrassment: "My lord, what do you want to know, just ask."

Gao Feng glanced at Gerald, saw his embarrassed face, and came to his senses, and asked, "How do you think your life is now? Are you living a good life, or are you living a bad life?"

Gerald thought about it carefully and said: "It's okay, if you can eat enough, if you can't be hungry, you just can't save money. I have always wanted to save some money for my kid to go to school, but the money is always not enough, and The cost of studying is too expensive. I heard from others that being a mercenary earns a good income, and when the child grows up, maybe sending him to be an apprentice to a mercenary is also a good way out."

"Haven't you thought about letting your son continue to follow your path?" Gao Feng asked.

"It's too dangerous," Gerrard said with a sigh.

Although Gerald didn't say much, Gao Feng could feel that their lives were actually very hard, just because they had never experienced a decent life, so they felt that they still had food, which was considered good.

Whether life is fortunate or not, in fact, needs to be compared.

Modern life information is developed, it is easy to accept all kinds of information, know how other people are, and then compare yourself, when you compare yourself to others, you will naturally feel that others are not happy, and when you compare with those who have a harder life At that time, you are living in happiness again.

For Gerald, risking his life just to get enough to eat, and thinking that such a life could continue, was unimaginable on earth.

It is impossible for Gao Feng to save everyone, but he also hopes to change the lives of the residents in his territory and make them happier.

"By the way, how is your mayor?" Gao Feng asked again.

"Mayor?" Gerald frowned and thought carefully before he said cautiously, "Do you know our mayor?"

"I don't know, I'm going to work elsewhere through Heishan Town, and I want to know about the situation in Heishan Town." Gao Feng said.

Gerald nodded, hesitation flashed across his face, and he said: "Mayor, it's not good or bad, but if you want to ask him to do something, you have to be careful, he is very calculating."

"Very calculating?"

"That's right." Gerald said sarcastically, "His family's scale is the lightest in our town. The weight we weighed at home will be at least one-tenth less when we arrive at his house."

Gao Feng nodded and understood, this is a shortfall.

This mayor is really dark-hearted, and everyone's hard-working money will be withheld.

Gao Feng thought of something and asked, "Since you all know about it, why did you sell it to him?"

Gerald shook his head and explained: "There is no way, we don't sell it to him. We have nowhere to sell it. The nearest town is hundreds of miles away. We don't have a carriage, so we can't transport it out."

Let’s start, Gerald is not as restrained as before, and he talked about the situation of the mayor. This guy is really black-hearted, not to mention that he is short of money, and the food sold to them is also poor and expensive, and some of the food is moldy. and sold it to the residents of the town at a high price.

Everyone dared not speak out about this, because all their living resources were in the hands of the mayor, and they couldn't leave the town. To live here, they had to accept the mayor's exploitation.

From this point of view, the mayor is really not a good person.

"Is this the case for every mayor in the past?" Gao Feng asked curiously.

Gerald said strangely: "Every time? The mayor is from their family, isn't it all the same?"

Gao Feng frowned and asked, "You mean the mayor has always been a member of the same family?"

Gerald nodded and said, "Yes, the mayor of our Black Mountain Town has always been a member of the Meri family, so it doesn't matter whether the mayor changes or not."

"The Meili family? Do you know anything about this family?" Gao Feng has never heard of this family. Of course, there are many families that Gao Feng has never heard of, and there is not one more Meili family.

"I don't know, I just heard that this family is very powerful." Gerald shook his head and said.

While speaking, Gerrard pointed to the front and said happily, "My lord, please look, there is Black Mountain Town ahead."
