Game time PM21:46
Northeast Continent, Holy Religion United Northern Territory, Dubuya City
“I’m sorry at this point in time Call everyone here.”
The big table in the prayer room is neatly stacked. Behind the long table where documents were being measured, Mo Tan smiled faintly at Shalia, Philip, Raymond and Romeo and the Pig (hereinafter referred to as Roo) in front of him, and said apologetically: "Because I have a lot to be busy with recently. stuff, so it’s been hard to find time to talk to everyone, ah, thank you, Yi Zhao.”
Putting a cup of coffee with sugar and milk in Mo Tan's hand, the tall guardian knight Yizuo Jileite smiled at his senior, and then began to prepare the refreshing scented tea specially provided by the Wealth Sect for others.
As for the coffee that Mo Tan drank, it was the beans that His Highness Chen Wangyu of the Shuguang Sect personally purchased. Although the value is not much more expensive than the supplies from the Wealth Sect, Yi Zuo is He had never prepared any other drinks for Mo Tan, except for the refreshing fruit tea bags that were also prepared by Yu Chen himself.
On the other side, as the most prestigious and powerful general among the troops stationed in Doumbouya City, Raymond shook his head in a simple manner and said seriously: "Your Excellency, you are overthinking. It is not too late now." , and we already have a lot of work to report to you, no one will mind.”
“Don’t count me when I say ‘everyone’, it’s your business if you don’t mind. "Mind!"
The half-elf girl, who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, had messy long pink hair and severe dark circles under her eyes, glared at Raymond in annoyance, and slumped on the chair and groaned weakly. : "I just finished my work today and was about to go to bed and take a nap when I was dragged here. I am very angry."
It can be seen that as the adjutant appointed by Mo Tan, Shalia Ain, who had to accept the former's task of 'complete the reorganization of the Doumbuya City garrison in a short period of time', has been under full pressure recently.
“Tsk, tsk, young people today are really no better than they were back then.”
Luo Ou, who was sitting next to Raymond with his arms folded and looking through the information, smacked his lips, shook his head and sighed: "Uncle, when I was young, I used to wake up early and sleep late every day. Not to mention the eight hours of standard sleep time. After finishing all the miscellaneous and troublesome things, it would be nice if I could just lie down on the bed and squint for four or five hours. You don't want to be there I don't know if I'm lucky..."
Xia Liya immediately glanced over and interrupted with a smile: "I am sixty-seven this year. How old are you, 'uncle'?"
Luo Ou: "...forty-six."
"Let me play with you little brat!"
Shalia, who was very irritable because of a serious lack of rest, immediately yelled at Roo, and then she lost her temper after the latter shrank his neck and stopped talking. He threw two stacks of parchment with a faint scent of ink in front of Mo Tan, gritted his teeth and said: "This is the progress of the organization reorganization. It is almost 80% complete now. The main combat forces that can be used are basically completed." After becoming unified, notifications were sent out as soon as possible. Although everyone still complained a lot, considering that we fought very well in the previous battle, the resistance was far less than I expected. If nothing else, a little bit of running-in and running-in would be enough. We can go straight into battle."
Mo Tan nodded very happily, and then casually pulled the two fruits of Shalia's hard work to the hill-like place on the right side of the table. In the pile of documents, he smiled at the beautiful half-elf girl with blue veins on her forehead: "Thank you for your hard work, so when will the remaining 20% be adjusted? Is there any resistance? Do you need help?"
< br>"The resistance is nothing. The main reason is that you people from other worlds account for too many of the remaining 20%."
Xia Liya gently rubbed her forehead and said tiredly: "And no Everyone is as easy to find out as Lao Luo, and in order to maintain everyone's mental stability, it is impossible for us to directly disclose the existence of "people from other worlds" to the public in a short period of time, so in the end, the high probability of 20% includes a high proportion of people from other worlds. As for people, I can only ask the 'organisation' to complete the preliminary screening as soon as possible, and then ask Lao Luo to bring people to contact them. Although it cannot be said to be very troublesome, it is very time-consuming. "
Luo Ou also nodded and added: "There is another problem, that is, our [Yin Yin] members are already saturated. After all, the original positioning is a 'scout force'. If the number is too large, it will easily become Bloated and unmanageable, so what I mean is that after gathering known players into [Hagakure] After calling them, we will make secondary allocations based on their abilities, personalities, occupations, and online time to see if they will continue to stay with me or be placed in other organizations. "
Currently, they are still listed as [Guardians]. Raymond, who held the position of the highest person in charge of the regiment, immediately nodded desperately and echoed: "I seriously agree, nothing else. He said that brother Futu is not suitable for scouting. In fact, based on his strength..."
"Hey! Why did someone want to poach me as soon as I let go?"
Luo Ou. He interrupted Raymond angrily and funny, and said to the slightly embarrassed macho guy: "The Buddha boy can really fight. , I think it would be good for me, who is the leader, to be a personal bodyguard."
Ley Meng's expression suddenly collapsed visibly. It was obvious that this tiger with a calm personality and no tricks. People are not the type who can hide things on their face, the type who can lose their pants after playing mahjong all night.
Philip, the Holy Son of Fertility, who also had the qualities of calmness, hard work, and decency, coughed lightly, and said helplessly to Luo Ou, who was already familiar with him: "Uncle Luo, please stop making fun of Captain Raymond. You have already decided to transfer Futu to the Guards."
"Hey, don't you think it's fun to tease an honest man like Brother Raymond?"
Luo. Ou laughed and patted the cheerful Raymond on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I have already said hello to Aunt Shalia before. As long as she nods, I will ask the Buddha boy to report to you tomorrow. "
Xia Liya, who looked just like a female high school student, stood up and pointed at Luo Ou's nose and said angrily: "Who are you talking about?"
"I am forty-six, you are sixty-seven."
Luo Ou spread out his hands seriously and said innocently: "We are more than 20 years old, is it okay to call you aunt?"
"Hehe, hehe, no problem, of course no problem."
Xia Liya took a deep breath, then sat back with a sneer, and said with a gloomy look: "Then you probably won't mind if [Ye Yin]'s ration is cut by 70%..."
“Oh, sister, what are you talking about!”
As soon as Luo Ou heard this, he immediately took out a crystal stone embedded in the crystal clear purple agate base. The snow-white and luxurious orb decorated with a lot of jade ornaments stood up and stuffed it into Shalia's hand with a smile on her face: "Be careful, sister, calm down~"
Shalia frowned, and was about to throw the orb back in her arms, but found that the workmanship of this thing was too exquisite and attractive, even for the elves (because they live longer, so people generally think that the elves' aesthetics are worthy of the Trust me, from the aesthetic point of view, these long ears are definitely an indisputable work of art.
Not only that, the moment she touched the bead, Shalia also felt an invisible ripple spreading in her subconscious, although she was not able to understand it at the first time. The ripples symbolized mystical meaning, but even so, this girl from the knowledge sect still realized instantly that this was definitely a rare good thing.
As a result, the girl who was appointed by Mo Tan as an adjutant and also served as the logistics manager and spy chief of Doumbouya City immediately responded to Luo Ou, who was very 'righteous', with a gentle, sweet, and sweet attitude. Generous and generous smile: "I was just joking with you. Your workload [Hayin] is so heavy, how could I make things more difficult for you in terms of rationing? Speaking of which..."
"Orb of Fraud."
The result didn't wait for Luo Ou to explain. Mo Tan, who was sitting behind the table, quietly revealed the answer to the mystery. He leaned forward slightly and said to Shalia, who looked slightly confused: "What if I If I remember correctly, this thing should be the signature product of a chamber of commerce called [Green Apple] that has businesses here and in our hometown as aliens. And judging from the quality, it seems to be the most expensive version. "Xia Liya lowered her head and glanced at the jewel that was constantly exuding warmth, and asked curiously: "What does the fraud orb... do?"
“If nothing else, its effect is to allow you to understand and speak fluently in many mainstream languages.”
Mo Tan rubbed his chin while looking at the person who was sipping the tea. Luo Ou: "The most expensive version of the Deceit Orb should allow you to understand and speak fluently in fifteen languages, including Dragon Language, Sea Clan Common Language, and Devil Language, and there is also an epic level sealed in it. Defensive magic can be automatically triggered when the wearer is in crisis."
Shalia's eyes widened when she finally realized how valuable this thing was, and she turned to look at Roo in shock: "You. Boy, if you give me such an expensive thing, you must have fallen in love with me..."
"No, no, although you are indeed a very attractive girl, Shalia, I actually already have a sweetheart. Although you have been putting off getting married due to various things, you won't fall in love with anyone else. What's more, if you calculate it according to the age ratio of us humans, you are not older than my sweetheart's niece. ”
Luo Ou immediately explained, letting the blue-faced Shalia breathe a sigh of relief, and then smiled and said: "As for whether it is expensive or not, I think this matter is very important. If it is an outstanding girl like you, On the contrary, I think this orb is worth a lot.”
Xia Liya twitched the corner of her mouth and said dryly: “Don’t talk about the things that are available, then who, do you know how much this thing is worth. No?”
“I have a name, so don’t call me that person...”
As Xia Liya’s direct supervisor, Mo Tan touched the tip of his nose helplessly, and then replied calmly. : "If I remember correctly, the fraud orb that Lao Luo gave you should be a limited-purchase product in the region. Even if the settlement areas of the world... uh, you can understand it as the 'entire continent' are added up, every month There are less than sixty of them. The market price should be about 170,000 to 80,000 gold coins.”
“One hundred and seventy to eighty thousand!”
As soon as these words came out, Shalliya, who had just calmed down, suddenly lost her composure. You must know that although she is a scheming, intelligent, wise and talented cleric, this does not mean how wealthy she is. In fact Even though she had completely taken over the logistics of Doumbouya City in recent years, Shalia had never received more than 100,000 gold coins in material rations, let alone cash.
Not only Xia Liya, but also Yi Zou, Raymond and Phillip almost stared out of their eyes as Mo Tan reported the valuation. Putting aside the first two people, it can be seen that even in justice In the eyes of the Holy Son, these amounts of money are not a small sum.
This is a normal phenomenon. The bizarre consumption and money-making model like 'Tan Mo' is the minority among the minority, the weirdest among the weird.
All in all, Luo Ou's move knocked all three NPCs present away. Only Mo Tan, who had a relatively weak concept of money due to special reasons, remained calm.
“This is really generous.”
Mo Tan sighed leisurely, and sighed with a subtle expression: "It seems that I have provoked quite a bad person."
Luo Ou, however, waved his hand indifferently and said lazily. : "I prepared such a small gift for Miss Shalia because I think that as the 'brain center' of Doumbouya City, she needs a reliable insurance policy. It just so happened that I had an extra bully in my hand. Liar Baozhu, if you take it too seriously, I will be in trouble."
Phillip turned to look at Luo Ou with a complicated expression and sighed: "You remind me of a friend."< br>
Ley Meng spread his hands in a particularly bachelor manner: "I don't have any similar friends that I can think of."
"Are you people from other worlds so wealthy?"
Xia Liya stared at Mo Tan with burning eyes, shining with extremely pure desire.
“No.”
Mo Tan shook his head very honestly and said sternly: “To be honest, the thing Lao Luo gave you is at least as good as my big one. Half a year’s worth of food and clothing.”
“Hey.”
“What’s your attitude?”
Mo Tan and Shalia stared at each other inexplicably.
Luo Ou, who was a little uncomfortable at first, laughed in relief because of the guys' reaction, and then he proposed enthusiastically: "How about I give you one for each one?"
"This boss."
Mo Tan glanced at Luo Ou and said with a smile: "If you want to maintain our hard-won pure comradeship, say less. A boss like this who is so handsome is speaking."
Luo Ou immediately realized that he had made a mistake and sneered quickly: "Yes, yes, everyone pretends that I didn't say it."
< br>
"Then let's get down to business, Shalia, is there any new news from Skolk?"
"Yes, and it's good news."
"Oh. ? Please tell me more specifically?"
"Luna· Ms. Lynch has conquered almost all the Skolks. It is conservatively estimated that the favor of the 'Black Van Priest' is about to catch up with that of our Doumbuya garrison."
