Chapter 2648 Persuasion
The atmosphere in the store is still very quiet at the moment. After all, the mayor has not spoken, and it is impossible for the other aborigines to continue to persuade as they did not long ago. While Ji Xiaoyan was shopping, everyone stared at Ji Xiaoyan with a somewhat nervous look.
"Mr. Mayor, how about we find a place to talk alone?" Ji Xiaoyan was really uncomfortable looking at the looks of the aborigines around him, and thought about it for a while and turned to the mayor. After asking, seeing that the aborigines blocking the door had no intention of giving up, he looked directly into the store and said to the store owner: "I don't know if there is any room in your store." , let me talk to the mayor?”
“ Yes, yes!" The shop owner nodded quickly, pointed in the direction behind him, and said to Ji Xiaoyan and the mayor: "There is a room inside. If you think it is okay, please feel free to do so. Use it!"
"Mr. Mayor?" Ji Xiaoyan nodded, looked at the mayor, smiled without any objection, and then entered the room directly. , waited until the mayor also entered, and then closed the door.
"Sit down!" Looking at the mayor's obvious reserved look, Ji Xiaoyan could only say one sentence to him. After watching the mayor carefully sit down, he went straight to the topic and said: " Mr. Mayor, I have invited you here because I want to ask your opinion on something."
"Sir, please tell me!" The mayor nodded quickly, looking frightened. It seems that he is not stupid enough to agree to anything directly.
“I heard a lot about the situation in your town from the aboriginal people when I came here, and I roughly summarized it.” Ji Xiaoyan frowned and thought for a while before continuing. : "Although your town now belongs to Sha City, Sha City doesn't care about you on weekdays. In addition, your town is so remote, and there is no such thing as Sha City on weekdays. When the residents come, it is even less likely that there will be adventurers, so your town is almost at the end of its rope, am I right?”
The mayor heard what Ji Xiaoyan said. After saying these words, the smile that was on his face just now disappeared completely, and everything turned into a very helpless and painful expression: "Sir, it's all what you said! Isn’t our current town just having a hard time? If it hadn’t been for your appearance today, no one would have known about our town until it died! So, sir, you must help our town! Yes! "
"Help, of course I want to help! This is in your town. If you don't help, how can you let me leave?" Ji Xiaoyan immediately said teasingly, but seeing that the mayor didn't look ashamed at all, he couldn't help but feel something in his heart. After a pause, he continued: "It's just that what I can help is very limited. After all, No one can carry around so many gold and silver coins, right? No matter how much I help, I can’t save your town just by spending money!”
When the mayor heard what Ji Xiaoyan said, his face suddenly fell again: "Then what do you want to do when you called me here, sir?"
Ji Xiaoyan smiled in a low voice, After staring at the mayor for a long time, watching him frowning and looking at me in confusion, unable to see what he was hiding in his cloak, he finally said: "I can't After spending so many gold coins in the town, it is impossible to save your town with this method. I do have another method, but I don’t know if you are willing, Mr. Mayor!”
Then! When the mayor heard what Ji Xiaoyan said, he immediately showed a look of astonishment, then stood up excitedly, looked at her and said nervously Said: "Sir! Sir! As long as you can save our town and prevent our town from waiting for death like this, we are willing to try any method! Sir, you must help us!"
< br>"I must help your town, otherwise what would I do if I invited the mayor to come?" Ji Xiaoyan smiled easily and motioned to the mayor The adult sat down again and said in a low voice: "It's just that this method is somewhat risky!"
"No matter how big the risk is, it will not be more terrifying than the demise of our town!" The grown-up had a serious look on his face. He looked at Ji Xiaoyan and said seriously: "Sir, just tell me and I will consider it carefully."
Ji Xiaoyan nodded with satisfaction: "Then I have to ask the mayor first, what do you think of Sha City now?"
"To Sha City?" That person When the mayor heard Ji Xiaoyan's words, his expression suddenly became strange, "What do you mean by asking this question? Our town has always been honest since it became the town of Sha City! Even if Sha City has never come to take charge of our town, we have no complaints.”
“Mr. Mayor! Don't think too much, I don't mean anything!" Ji Xiaoyan quickly said to the mayor soothingly. Said, "I just want to know what the mayor's attitude towards Sha City is!"
At this point, Ji Xiaoyan paused, and then faced the mayor. The elder said: "The mayor, please stop answering me for now. You can think about it first."
" Does your asking this question have something to do with whether our town can be saved or not?" The mayor was not stupid, but he understood immediately after hearing Ji Xiaoyan's words and looked at Ji Xiaoyan inquiringly. After several glances, he said: "Your Excellency, you are also a very powerful adult in Sha City, right?"
"It doesn't count! It's just that the killing value on his body is higher!" Ji Xiaoyan smiled, looking at the mayor's obviously vigilant expression, and then he chuckled and said: "Mayor Sir, please don’t think of me as the Lord of Sha City!”
How is that possible? The mayor would not take Ji Xiaoyan's words to heart. He just looked at her silently, frowning lightly.
"Let's put it this way, Mr. Mayor!" Ji Xiaoyan thought for a while and felt that his killing value was a problem. If he really wanted to wait for the Mayor to express his stance before coming up with a solution, it would probably be useless. Yes, so he spoke first: "The situation in the town is like this now. The original source of Sha City is The residents will not come, and the adventurers will not be able to come in. In other words, the entire town is now in such a predicament, so if it wants to change this predicament, the town must make changes. "< br>
The mayor nodded and looked at Ji Xiaoyan expectantly.
"This matter still has to be decided by the mayor!" Ji Xiaoyan looked at the mayor and asked him: "So, I just want to ask, does the mayor have any Don’t have any ideas to prevent the town from becoming a evil city?”
When the mayor heard what Ji Xiaoyan said, he immediately trembled in panic, looked at Ji Xiaoyan in shock, and then stammered for a while: "Sir! What are you talking about? What do you mean?"
"I just want to ask the mayor if he has any ideas to change the town's power!" After all, Ji Xiaoyan didn't want to be too subtle and faced him directly. The mayor looked at him and saw that he looked nervous and scared, and then continued: "To be honest, when I first came to the town, I just wanted to borrow the teleportation array. But I didn't expect it. They were stopped by the aborigines in the town. If you really want to leave, I have a way, and the mayor also knows it!" The mayor nodded silently, of course he knew. As long as the aborigines in those towns are killed, what else can't be left?
"It's just that, after hearing what happened to the aborigines in the town, I feel a little sympathetic to you!" Ji Xiaoyan sighed and said to the mayor, "This is I think it would be a good thing if I could help you think of a way to prevent the town from disappearing!"
"That's right!" The mayor didn't dare to respond, he just nodded silently to Ji Xiaoyan.
"I also helped the mayor think about it." Ji Xiaoyan still smiled and said to the mayor: "The current situation in the town, if it can only be saved by someone spending gold coins, then I hope it can be saved by someone spending gold coins." If you rely on me, or rely on the aboriginal people in Sha City, that's still It's a drop in the bucket. But if the town changes its forces and no longer restricts adventurers from coming, the situation will be completely different! Does the mayor know?"
The mayor? Looking at Ji Xiaoyan, his eyes were full of confusion and fear.
“Although I haven’t read all the things in the town, but the things sold in this shop now, if those adventurers really know about it, does the mayor know how many there will be? The adventurers came all the way here ? At that time, why would the town need to beg people to buy things like this? They would have to wait in line for the adventurers with weapons!" Ji Xiaoyan squinted! Eyes, watching the changes in the mayor's face With an expression on his face, he continued to brag to him: "I don't know if you, town adults, have ever left the town to see what the outside is like, but I have seen it everywhere, so I naturally know the value of these things in your town. How, can it attract Come adventurer! So, if the mayor believes in me, you can consider my suggestion."
The room was silent for a long time, and the mayor seemed to have finished listening to Ji Xiaoyan's words. After speaking, he fell into deep thought.
This is a difficult choice.
Ji Xiaoyan, who was placed in front of the mayor, was obviously a high-ranking man in Sha City. As the towns and aborigines of Sha City, they needed to respect and be obedient. If they said the wrong thing, they would become a If it's a trap, what should I do?
However, the mayor had to admit that Ji Xiaoyan's proposal made him very excited.
In fact, their town has no feelings for Sha City at all. Before it became a town of Sha City, their town was also an extremely free town on the mainland. Later, it was also because the aborigines came to Sha City and their town was included in Sha City's power. They thought it didn't matter and they might have more backers, so they agreed.
But no one expected that after agreeing to this, their town would fall into such a dilemma, and then step by step it would become what it is today.
Can they agree to the proposal of Lord Shacheng in front of them? Can you agree?
The mayor fell into such a difficult decision situation.
"Mayor, have you thought about it?" Ji Xiaoyan waited for a long time, but couldn't help but look at the mayor, and said to him: "There are some things that the mayor is concerned about. Don’t worry. Since I gave this suggestion to the mayor, I am naturally not on Sha City’s side, but on your side, the mayor!”
That mayor! The adults looked at Ji Xiaoyan suspiciously and did not dare to say a word.
“Are the mayor worried about my status?” Ji Xiaoyan smiled and asked the mayor. Seeing that he still remained silent, he thought about it. I thought, and then stood up: "If the mayor is still worried and unwilling to answer, that's fine. However, I can't stay in this town any longer. I still have things to do. Since the proposal is also given to Mayor, you said, my The difficulty has been told. Then I have to say goodbye! As for buying things, don’t count on me. I also hope that the mayor and the aborigines outside will tell you to get out of the way. I'll take action, and then it will really be bad!"
When the mayor heard Ji Xiaoyan's words, his eyes widened immediately, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak. But he still didn't dare to say anything.
"Mr. Mayor, we can't continue to waste time like this!" Ji Xiaoyan sighed, looked at the mayor and said, "I really don't have that much time to waste with you."
"Sir!" The mayor looked at Ji Xiaoyan's obviously changed expression. Then he frowned, looked at her and said, "Sir, you have to give me some time to think about it carefully!"
"The mayor thinks that I have to give you a few days. Huh?" Ji Xiaoyan smiled and said to the mayor, "This proposal is just that simple. Whether you are willing or not is a matter of one sentence. As for the mayor, he is worried that if I agree, I will blame you or harm you, just like the mayor. As you said yourself, sir, this is what the town is like now. In the final analysis, the most The final result is to die out, and the whole town disappears, right? And what I am giving the mayor now is a chance to get a new life. I don’t understand what the mayor has to hesitate about. ?”
I wish everyone a prosperous new year and all the best!
In the coming year, we will continue to move forward! !
