Chapter 539 Big changes! Sudden attack!
Limited by the height of the dwarf, even though Somo's smile was as friendly as possible, he still felt creepy in the eyes of others.
Faced with this smile, the stone ninja standing at the door could still walk in with a calm smile.
But the person following him was already shaking like chaff, his legs were weak, and his eyes were full of fear!
"Hey, is Shopkeeper Hal enforcing family law? It seems like this is not the right time for me to come here!"
The screams in the courtyard were still faint through the door, but became instantly apparent as soon as they entered the house.
With full anger and the heartache of losing money, Turner naturally will not deal with the traitors with a knife.
In addition, you also need to collect the marks of all mercenaries.
Looking at the crowd gathered at the door to look inside, Sumo pursed his lips, and Hao Qiang stepped forward and closed the door again.
"It doesn't matter, the Stone Ninja Manager comes to my place, it will make the shop flourish, there is nothing inappropriate about it"
"As for these traitors, they will really make you laugh."
"There are many people in this city, but there are not many cakes to share. Everyone is thinking about how to plot against their own people, but there are not many. Someone who wants to open up the outside world just like Shi Nin's manager."
"They are naturally unhappy when I stand out and want to suppress me."
Make room next to the counter for Shi! Shinobu sat down, and Somo started to mutter something that seemed to be unintentional, but was actually heart-wrenching.
The stone ninja paused and nodded without changing his expression: "Indeed, now that our Demon Soul Clan has lost its lord, the people below are in panic, and most of the conservatives have completely gained the upper hand, like us. Those who are progressive will naturally be suppressed by these people”
"But their good days are only a few days away!"
Sumo: "Oh? How can I say this?"
With the intention of making friends with each other, the two of them just met. They became familiar with each other like old friends for many years.
Seeing Sumo asking questions while his subordinates were extremely calmly fiddling with the string of beads in their hands, Shi Nin opened his mouth and changed the subject first.
“Hahaha, Shopkeeper Hal is such a wonderful person. It seems that I made the right trip this time!”
"These days, the outside world says that you are brave and foolhardy, with only brute strength and bear bile. Looking at it now, this rumor is completely untrue."
Sumo shook his head: "The outside world also says that the stone ninja is in charge. He is a idiot, he only knows how to export the city's interests, and he has been developing for so long and has not found any friendly forces. Now that he sees it, it is not true. "
In this free city!
Stone Ninja's power as an external manager is neither small nor large.
When there are allies, he will be responsible for establishing diplomatic relations with the allies and negotiating trade exchanges between the two territories. Naturally, there are huge benefits to enjoy.
But without allies, his status is as dispensable as a mere commander.
I didn’t fully explain it, but after insinuating that I know what you’re thinking, the stone ninja’s expression changed and eventually turned calm.
“It seems that Shopkeeper Hal knows why I came here today. In this case, I will not continue to play tricks with you here. I am an upright person and I will speak my mind!”
“I know that you want to use this news as a gift to the human gathering place of 30,000 humans, Su Shen, so I have helped you find out in advance and asked about their location and situation. This paper records That’s it”
“I also bought the person who knew the news, and now I’m bringing him over to you. As long as you bring the paper and the person there, the human God Su will definitely release more Goodwill"
"And I don't have high requirements, as long as you can take me over to meet this human God Su"
"And I can guarantee you that as long as my demon soul tribe and the human God Su completely reach an alliance, After the mutual exchange, I can decide to give you 5% of the trade profits between the two parties!"
Took out a piece of paper from his arms, turned around and pointed at the leaker who was kneeling on the ground with a look of surprise on his face! , the stone ninja's expression showed a rare hint of seriousness.
“You just believe me so much?”
Stone Ninja: “If Shopkeeper Hal hadn’t dealt with these mercenaries today, then I might still be on guard in my heart, but now , listening to these beautiful screams, I believe that our goals, our pursuits, and even we are the same kind of people!”
"There are many forces in this city, and there are many people with rights, but most people don't seem to understand where their rights come from. At the same time, they don't understand at all. As long as some people say something, they can The self-righteous right will disappear in an instant just like the shopkeeper of the Demonic Exchange."
"Xinhuo Exchange, you have been completely caught in the middle. Suitable for this city, once the winter is over, these anxious people will definitely let you make a real choice, and by that time, it may be too late for Lord Hal to make a choice!"
一! The stone ninja paused for a moment, speaking unhappily, but without any hesitation. It was obvious that he had already prepared the draft before he came here.
And, after he finished speaking, something magical happened.
Looking at Shi Nin's old face with an unattractive appearance, and his clothes that had nothing special about him.
Sumo just felt that it was pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked at it, and he felt a sense of kindness that he had never felt before in his heart.
It felt as if the two were really old friends who had been separated for many years, so that he subconsciously wanted to nod and agree to the other party's request.
However, I didn’t wait for this feeling to last much longer.
As a blue screen naturally rose up, emitting a nearly substantial light, blocking the stone ninja's sight, Somo's mind quickly returned to clarity.
[Warning, an illegal existence has been detected that is trying to invade the host consciousness field, and the defense strength is being determined.]
[The opponent's mental attack strength is 3.8, and the host's mental defense strength is 6.69. It is recommended to strengthen consciousness defense or actively add defensive barriers]
[For every 100 survival points paid, the system will automatically provide the host with 1 point of mental defense. , duration 12H]
"Psychic attack?"
"Is this the ability of the stone ninja template, or the power of authority behind the mark?"
A quick glance After passing the information prompted by the system and feeling that the weird feeling in his brain was no longer there, Sumo made a thought and did not choose to spend his survival points.
Human beings may be physically weak, but they are not inferior to other creatures at the level of consciousness.
In addition, the current body seems to be that of an ordinary dwarf, but in fact it is the body of a demigod with multiple powers. Naturally, the half-assed ability of the stone ninja alone is not enough.
"Master Hal, Master Hal?"
Others cannot see the blue system screen and the strong light emitted.
But in the sight of the stone ninja, Somo's performance just now was extremely obvious.
At the first moment when his power exploded, although Somo seemed to be resisting.
But in the next few seconds, he was completely lost in thought, his eyes looking at nowhere, as if he was in a daze.
This behavior, although different from when he affects other people.
But seeing Somo come back to his senses and the kindness "naturally showing" on his face, Shi Nin felt a sudden joy in his heart.
"Okay! Since the Stone Ninja Manager wants to meet the human God Su, for the sake of our Demon Soul Clan, I can't stop him"
"But winter is coming recently, and Mr. Somo is also very busy. It is estimated that there will be no time to meet us for the time being. If you want to go, you have to wait at least until after the snowstorm."
"Ahem, in this way, in a few days I will go there again tomorrow and apply for it on behalf of Shi Nin. Once Master Sumo agrees, I will take you there as soon as I come back!"
Looking at Hao Qiang in the corner, who was already suppressing a smile, Su Mo coughed, and there was an expression on his face that he wanted to do something for his old friend, but was really embarrassed.
This time, after once again confirming that he had successfully cast the spell, the stone ninja could not sit still. He actually stood up with joy and said:
"Don't worry, Don’t be anxious, Shopkeeper Hal must not be anxious about this!”
"Now the friendship bridge between you and Su Shen has just been built. At this stage, we must not do anything that will make the other party unhappy. No matter what decision we make, we must make it slowly!"
"No. Are you just waiting for a blizzard? We can definitely wait. When the time comes, please give Su Shen a few nice words to explain the advantages of our cooperation."
We are talking, here we are. Later, the stone ninja even started to speak incoherently. From the construction of Liberty City, to the difficult situation of the Demon Soul Clan without the lord, to the positive impact of the cooperation between the two parties, and the opportunity for the Xinhuo Exchange to take off.
Under Somo's deliberate flattery, Shi Nin talked for half an hour before he sat down with a dry mouth, picked up the tea and drank it down.
Then, after looking at the time and confirming the specific cooperation matters, leaving the humans still on the ground begging for mercy, the stone ninja opened the door with satisfaction and walked away.
Although there were some twists and turns in the process, some unexpected things happened. For example, Hal's behavior after being affected by his abilities was very different from others.
But the development of things still did not differ greatly from the prediction before coming here, it was very smooth!
"Last time, because of caution, I missed the best opportunity to make a comeback, and my power was stolen by these shameless villains"
"This time, I will not miss it"
"When Hal completes the negotiation, when I go to the territory of the human God Su, it will be the Demon Soul Clan, no, it will be when the sky changes in this new continent!"
Shaked his head and looked at the hanging hanging behind him. Looking at the five-character signboard of the Xinhuo Exchange and the few people who came to apologize and were waiting at the door, the stone ninja smiled to himself and quickly disappeared around the corner of the street.
Facts proved.
Everyone in Liberty City wants to break the rules, but everyone needs rules to protect themselves.
The stone ninja wants to regain his position and does not want to break the rules, so he can only endure it slowly according to the system.
After he left, more and more people came to pay their gambling debts.
With the first family, the other families also behaved and assigned people to send compensation.
There are eleven companies in total. According to the degree of mischief, after the last one left, Xinhuo Exchange once again recorded 94,000 contribution points in its books.
Compared to doing legitimate business, such money came so quickly that after Turner received all the money in his account, he was still stunned and didn’t realize what happened. What kind of game.
“Have all the seals been collected?”
After instructing the mercenaries to go out and dispose of the body, Sumo frowned and walked into the house looking at the mess and blood on the ground.
"They are all collected. There are a total of eighteen marks. According to what you said last time, the marks I gave to everyone have been upgraded to green. All the marks collected now are also green."
Opening the lid of the container in his hand, through the transparent glass, Sumo saw at a glance the floating marks soaked in the green liquid.
As the saying goes, there is a specialization in a profession.
The Demon Soul Clan who developed the mark also put a lot of effort into preserving it.
The green mark, stored in the liquid of the corresponding color, can guarantee that there will be no corruption for 60 natural days.
After putting the lid back on and covering up the marks inside, Sumo took it and carefully placed it on the corner of the bed and pressed it down with the quilt.
"Hal, we can't use these marks. There is no use in collecting them. Is it possible that there are some secrets in their marks?"
Watching Sumo do this Pie, Turner tilted his head and thought about it, and finally asked out of curiosity.
"No, I just collected it just in case. By the way, I must not tell anyone else about the mark!"
"Of course I know this!"
Under the dim light of the oil lamp, the two dwarves looked at each other.
Looking at Turner's honest appearance, Sumo nodded and turned his gaze to the sky outside.
"After tonight, there are only seven days left before the blizzard. After I finish handling the things in the city, I still have to go out. The next time I come back, I may have to wait until after the blizzard is over, or even later!"
Turner was silent.
"You don't have to worry about me. I've already established a connection with the human side. I'll go over to help them deal with some difficult things. There won't be any risk. On the contrary, here in the city, Hao Qiang will give me a message when I leave. You stay, and if Hao Qiang makes a move, you must cooperate with him and not miss this great opportunity."
"I have a hunch that the peaceful days of this city will not last long"< br>
For some reason, at this time of the seventh day, the sky at night is a little darker than usual, which makes people feel uneasy.
The sky was still clear during the day, but after the sun set, dark clouds quickly accumulated as if under command.
It was only early nine o'clock in the evening, and above Liberty City, it was already difficult to see the moonlight that would shine on weekdays.
Coupled with the howling cold wind blowing into the house and blowing the flames of the oil lamps, the feeling will be even more terrifying!
"I know, don't worry, I will take care of the house."
"This Free City is a backwater, and the peaceful days are just a dream whitewashed by some people. Our strength If you don’t grow, you will become someone else’s meal!”
Some people live in chaos all their lives and never understand themselves until they grow old.
Some people, when they find opportunities, can undergo radical changes in just a few dozen days.
Seeing a clearness in Turner's eyes that he had never seen before, Sumo smiled and put his hand on his.
However, before Sumo could continue speaking.
Boom!
A vibration like the one that only came when Iron Stone Mountain was renovated suddenly shot up from the earth, hitting the bottom of Liberty City hard, and then transmitted to every building in the city. above.
After a few crashes, the newly renovated flat courtyard of the Xinhuo Exchange was fine, but there were several huge gaps in the ground, revealing the dark masonry underneath.
But far away, other buildings that have not been reinforced will not have such good luck!
In just an instant, several four-story buildings that could be seen through the windows fell down, making a thunderous roar.
At the same time, a series of cries and howls, accompanied by shouts of death and soaring fire, began to play in the city, sending vibrations straight into the sky.
“Shopkeeper, it’s not good. The beasts from the Bright Empire got in somehow. Run quickly and take refuge in the inner city!”
Holding the broom for cleaning the courtyard, Hoes, shovels, and standard long knives were already used to maintain order. Seven mercenaries bought during the day ran in "fully armed" and loyally.
While sitting on the bed, as soon as I heard Empire of Light, I touched it, inner city, and a few keywords.
Sumo, who had been squinting through the window to observe the direction of the fire outside, finally stood up suddenly.
We are seven days away from winter, and at this moment the weather is about to change.
The people of the Bright Empire could not hold back after all, and launched the last general attack before winter came.
According to the current position and amplitude of the fire, the fire at the city gate is the brightest, but the second largest fire is
At the gate of the inner city!
Quickly pulling out the machete for self-defense from the weapon cabinet next to him, he picked up the dwarf hammer on the bed. Somo's whole body tensed up and he jumped out of bed.
"Every time the Empire of Light comes over, will we take refuge in the inner city?"
The mercenary who was pulled by him and still looking around nodded immediately: "Yes, this is a guard At the request of the team, the outer city will be abandoned by them at the critical moment, and only the inner city will be transferred!"
The expected answer was accompanied by a loud explosion and another shot into the sky in the direction of the inner city! The fire started.
All the demon souls knew that the enemy was invading and immediately moved to the inner city.
The attacking Bright Empire is obviously clear in Yemen. It knows that launching a battle in the inner city will maximize the casualties!
Looking at the open door, with the ordinary demon souls running away in a hurry, Sumo was immediately shocked, and several thoughts flashed through his mind.
However, after a few seconds, these thoughts finally merged into the same thing.
“Oops!”
"This time, I'm afraid the Demon Soul Clan and the Empire of Light will have a real winner!"
