Chapter 249 The Depressed Archon and the Classics Officer
The ridiculous gambling game in Rhodes Town has attracted a lot of attention and heated discussions on the game forum, but as the protagonist, another person However, Lord Robert, the consul of Rhodes Town, was in the consul hall with his registrant at the moment, anxious to think of ways to get Ji Xiaoyan to do business.
"My lord, I am not telling you, but you should not have plotted against that girl Xiaoyan at that time!" the registrant said, shaking his head at Consul Robert.
“Didn’t you think of that much at the time?” Archon Robert looked annoyed!
"Then what should we do now? Xiaoyan seems to have made up his mind not to let Brick open for business!" the archivist asked, looking at Consul Robert.
"What should we do? What else can we do! We have to find a way to get her to open no matter what!" Archon Robert finally felt a little regretful at this moment. If he had known better, he would not have swallowed up Ji Xiaoyan's interests. .
At first, old man Robert thought that after exchanging Ji Xiaoyan's benefits in Rhodes Town for Brick's shop, the girl would definitely let Brick run the alchemy shop for the sake of gold coins. Then earn gold coins to support your expenses. Ji Xiaoyan had invested 10,000 gold coins in order to take Brick away. Of course, the girl later cheated him out of 200 gold coins, but this was all a minor problem. Therefore, Commander Robert has always felt that after he deprived Ji Xiaoyan of the free real estate and discounted benefits that he could exchange for, and then returned the store to Brick, Ji Xiaoyan would definitely use the fact that Brick was her attendant. Because of his identity, he asked him to make medicine and sell it for money. However, who knew that now this girl would do the opposite and not open a business or sell medicine.
What will Robert, the consul, do? In the past, it would have been none of his business whether this girl's shop could open or not. If she had some income, he would collect some taxes. If she had no income, he would just charge less taxes. However, just after returning the shop to Brick, Consul Robert immediately did one thing. This matter made him send the bookkeeper to find a way to get Ji Xiaoyan and the others to open the alchemy shop, and also I have to go and congratulate Brick in person, and at the same time give them a long face and suppress the situation.
Consul Robert just wanted to give some tax reduction conditions when Brick's alchemy shop opened, and give Ji Xiaoyan some other benefits, so that Ji Xiaoyan would probably not take it into account. Compared to what he did to her. Therefore, after thinking about it, Archon Robert happily wrote an application and invested it in the higher-level city, saying that the funds for their Rhodes Town were in place, the number of shops they owned was also in place, and there were regular alchemy shops. , meeting the requirements for upgrading from a mid-level town to a high-level town. Requesting the system, uh, means the Lord God’s approval!
You know, the message transmission speed of NPCs in the game is simply not comparable to that of players. Of course, those situations that are tasks are different. Therefore, a few seconds after Archon Robert sent out the application, the system chief god replied, saying that in two days of game time, an NPC with a role similar to the Imperial Envoy would be sent to Rhodes Town to inspect. If If Rhodes Town really meets the requirements, it will be directly upgraded to a high-end town under the auspices of the imperial minister!
So, after getting the exact news, Governor Robert happily ordered the bookkeeper to take care of Ji Xiaoyan's shop, and then find a way to get them to open as soon as possible within two days! He went to clean up the warehouse in Rhodes Town happily.
When the Archon Master left the Consul Hall, he felt that Ji Xiaoyan and Brick must have resented him and the Consul Robert when they left. If he went there alone, he would definitely not He was treated well by Ji Xiaoyan. So, after thinking about it for a while, the bookkeeper went around the town and tricked Uncle Al, who had a good relationship with Ji Xiaoyan, into Brick's shop.
So, when the registrant heard that Ji Xiaoyan was not planning to open a store, he immediately panicked. If the official from the higher-level city who was sent by the Lord God two days later came to Rhodes Town and found that the store in their town was missing one and there was no alchemy shop, it would be tantamount to the ancient crime of deceiving the emperor. . Although the consequences are definitely not as serious as those of killing everyone, the punishment is definitely inevitable! Moreover, the most seriously injured must be Archon Robert and him, the Classics Officer.
In the executive hall, Archon Robert and the Classics Officer thought for a long time, and finally decided to go to the warehouse to get a few good things, and then go to Ji Xiaoyan's place to coax her and let her She keeps the shop running! Of course, this must be done within two days!
As for the gambling game played by Uncle Al, it is estimated that no one in Rhodes Town except Ji Xiaoyan, Brick, the scribe and Archon Robert knew about it.
Many players tried to ask Uncle Al what the specific content of this bet was, and they were prepared to find out the situation before placing a bet. But Uncle Al said, "If you don't buy it, leave, why are you asking so many questions?" He was dismissed directly. Finally, I thought about it. There were so many NPCs involved. Maybe this matter was an interactive mission. , no matter how bad it is, if you follow the NPCs and buy bets, you will definitely make a fortune in the end. Therefore, many players who did not know the situation followed the NPCs and placed bets directly. The final result was that, between the two bets of the Nameless One and the Archon, many players felt that the Archon, a high-status figure, had a greater chance of winning, so they all chose to bet on the Archon Robert. side. Therefore, one day later, the bets between Ji Xiaoyan and Archon Robert became three to one and fifteen to one! There was no way, the players were too powerful, and they basically bought the Archon to win. Uncle Al had no choice but to modify the odds in the hope that someone would buy Ji Xiaoyan and win. Otherwise, in the end, if Consul Robert really wins, won't he have to pay to his death?
After Ji Xiaoyan and Brick leisurely tidied up the shop for a while, they closed the door and took Brick to sit in the teleportation array. I went directly to Li Fei Town, planning to take Brick to see her particularly awesome property built with town stone as the wall base! What Ji Xiaoyan meant was that the alchemy shop was going to be opened, but who said it had to be opened in Rhodes Town? It's not like she only has one place to open a shop, right? After much deliberation, Li Fei Town is more suitable. After all, it is a map that has just been opened, and the levels of monsters are so high. Brick can get some more advanced potions to improve defense and strength, so that players over level 40 can If you can cross the huge gap between level 49 and level 50 and go out to kill monsters, won't the gold coins keep rolling in?
The most important thing is that we will not comply with the wishes of Archon Robert and the Classics Officer! This is what Ji Xiaoyan really thinks about!
So, when Archon Robert and the Registrar arrived at the door of Brick's shop, facing the tightly closed door, and there was no response no matter how hard they knocked on the door, these two The NPC was completely stunned! Unlike Ji Xiaoyan, they have the status of adventurers and can roam freely on the mainland. Now the girl has obviously left Rhodes Town, so how are the two town aboriginal officials who cannot move around freely to find the girl?
"Sir, what should I do?" The registrant simply felt that the end of the world was coming. He looked at Archon Robert with a look of despair, hoping that he could give him some direction.
"Ah..." Archon Robert turned his head stiffly, looked at the book official and swallowed his saliva. After being stunned for a while, he suddenly came back to his senses, and then shouted loudly: "Why? What to do? Search, search!”
They really have no other choice but to get Ji Xiaoyan and Brick back as soon as possible. It is impossible to send another message to the main god saying: "Hey, main god, the alchemy shop in our town of Rhodes can't be opened, and the shop owner has also ran away. We will not apply to upgrade to a high-end town! What kind of imperial envoy do you think of that?" Will the minister be recruited back?" He didn't even dare to think about it, so what? That is even more absolutely impossible!
"But, sir, how are we going to find them? I don't know which town Xiaoyan and Brick are going to!" the archivist said, looking at Consul Robert with a frown.
“You have to look for it even if you don’t know! You have to find it even if you are looking for a needle in a haystack!” Archon Robert said with a painful look on his face.
"Sir, we can't leave!" the book official continued. Rhodes Town has not yet reached the level of a high-level town, so he and Archon Robert, the two main officials of the town, cannot leave the town easily! If there were letters from other towns asking for help, they could leave for a while. But in such a peaceful period, where are the letters for help coming from? The bookkeeper felt that this was going to worry him to death.
"Think of a way! No matter what, we have to find a way!" Archon Robert looked at the Classics Officer longingly and said.
"Sir, how do you think of a solution? A few days ago, Mr. Tang Ross from the town where Xiaoyan used to stay left Buffenry Town. It was also because Mr. Osai from Oufa Town asked for help. There is a chance! We have had little contact with other towns in the past few years, so how can anyone come to us for help? It's better for us to ask for help!" the book official said with a sad look on his face.
"Asking for help from others? You said asking for help from others?" Archon Robert heard what the Classics Officer said, his eyes suddenly brightened a lot, and he said happily!
"What do you mean, my lord?" The registrant looked at Consul Robert with suspicion. Could it be that he had an idea?
"Help! Are we still short of people in Rhodes Town? The streets are full of adventurers, just grab a handful! Haha!" Archon Robert laughed, he knew it! He knew that God could not kill him! What he hopes most now is to get Ji Xiaoyan and Brick back as soon as possible so that they can run the shop and wait for the inspection by the imperial envoy!
