Chapter 25 Reporting the Harvest
Chapter 25 Reporting the Harvest
In fact, the ending of Roger and Fernando was already doomed the day after Thanos came to Zixi Town.
What led to all of this was not hatred, but only interests.
Coming to Proworld this time is already my last way out.
If you can't get enough resources in the general world to become an official wizard, then you will only be a piece of loess in a hundred years.
Therefore, I would absolutely not allow any factors beyond Zixi Town's control to exist.
But to firmly control Zixi Town, Roger and Fernando must disappear from the world.
As for the rest of Sara and Marco, according to my observations during this period, they are just superfluous.
As long as Roger and Fernando are resolved, they are not a problem.
So in order to become an official wizard yourself, you can go on the road with peace of mind.
……
The time soon came to the second day.
The weather was as expected by Thanos, and it had been raining continuously since the morning.
The rain also extinguished the flames of Fernando's mansion and diluted the blood on the ground.
The life-saving mobs also turned back into civilians, and started going home and going to work.
When Sarah and Marco received the news that Fernando had died, his family had been destroyed, and the mansion had been burned, they couldn't believe it.
Fernando has been an administrator in Zixi Town for more than seven years. During that time, he has been conscientious and has a good reputation among the people. How could he be killed by the mob.
There are millions of gold coins, this matter is known to be a rumor as soon as it is heard.
The annual income of the entire Zixi Town is only about gold coins. Even if all the income in the past seven years has been embezzled, it is impossible to have a million gold coins.
However, after his subordinates repeatedly confirmed the news, Sarah and Marco began to fear, and they discussed in secret together.
"I didn't expect Fernando to die like this."
"Yeah, I thought it was just a brat, but I didn't expect it to be a man-eating tiger."
"What do we do now?"
"What else can I do, of course I will send money."
"Send money? How much?"
"You said, if the delivery is less, he will let us go? Also, don't call him a boy in the future. If we are heard, we will all die."
"Got it, it looks like we're still going to bleed a lot."
After making a decision, the two moved quickly.
That night, they pulled the carriage loaded with gold coins to Thanos' mansion.
And Thanos also hosted Sarah and Marco.
In the end, the three chatted happily, and Thanos even smiled and sent the two outside the door himself.
This made Sara and Marco feel flattered, and repeatedly expressed that they would absolutely obey Mayor Thanos' arrangements in the future.
"Squeak bang!"
As the door closed, Thanos returned to the house with a calm expression.
Looking at the two boxes full of gold coins in the room, it would be a lie in his heart to say that he was not excited, but his good mood quickly calmed him down.
"A box of gold coins, a total of gold coins. These two guys don't know how many gold coins they have embezzled every year."
In fact, if you count it seriously, two thousand gold coins is definitely not too much.
If you search carefully, you can definitely squeeze thousands of gold coins from Sara and Marco.
But now that they have softened, there is no need to continue to be aggressive.
After all, less than a week after I came to Zixi Town, both the chief soldier and the administrative officer died. If the tax collector and the police officer died again, then my position would not last long.
Shaking his head, he closed the box, and let the zombies who had almost recovered, pull the box to the cellar.
As for the servants, they were all dismissed by him this morning, leaving only the little girl Ai Ruo.
The reason for doing this is naturally because they don't trust these servants.
After all, there were quite a few servants who went outside to report the news last time. If they didn't uproot the weeds, they were already being merciful.
As for keeping Ai Ruo, it is naturally to take care of her own food and daily life.
After a while, he sent a message to Sumante and others, asking them to come and report the situation tomorrow morning, and then went back upstairs to meditate.
The time of meditation always passed quickly, and I didn't even feel much, and the time came to the next day.
Today is still a rainy day, the sky outside is gloomy, and there is even a strong wind.
"Hoo hoo." The cold wind blows into the room through the scorched windows.
Thanos, who was in meditation, couldn't help shivering.
After opening his eyes and seeing the bright outside, he ended his meditation.
"The house can be changed soon, let's endure it a little longer."
"Dong dong."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Immediately afterwards, Ai Ruo came in with a plate.
"Mayor, this is today's breakfast."
After speaking, she put the dinner plate on the bed.
This special dinner plate is specially designed for eating on the bed.
Breakfast is milk, an unknown egg, and a piece of white bread.
Compared with the previous tea and whole wheat bread, it is two grades better.
This is the benefit of being rich, at least it won't hurt your stomach.
After a while, he was full after eating and drinking, and asked, "Have Sumante and the others arrived?"
Ai Ruo nodded softly, and said softly: "My lord, they were waiting downstairs 10 minutes ago, but I saw that my lord is still meditating, so don't let me disturb you."
Thanos nodded, then got up and went downstairs.
A wizard doesn't need to take off his clothes when he meditates, and it's still early spring, and the weather isn't that warm, so he doesn't take off his clothes when he meditates.
Soon, he saw four people including Sumante, Chitty, Wilkin and Thackeray, wearing slim casual clothes, sitting on chairs talking to each other.
After seeing Thanos come down, the four immediately stood up.
"Lord Thanos."
Thanos nodded, came to the main seat and sat down, and then asked: "What happened the day before yesterday, please report the situation and losses."
Because I was busy dealing with the aftermath yesterday, there is no accurate data yet.
Sumante was the first to speak: "My lord, in the battle with the gray trolls the day before yesterday, a total of 17 people were killed, 32 people were seriously injured, people were slightly injured, gray trolls were killed, and people were arrested. indivual."
Because the gray trolls are so powerful and experienced in fighting skills, there are even more deaths than serious injuries.
In response, Thanos just nodded flatly, then turned to look at the others.
Chitty said: "The gray troll that has been attracted has already decided to go back, and I have already marked the places where they appear."
When Thanos heard this, his face turned cold, and he said displeasedly: "What do you mean by being attracted? That's when I sent you out to investigate the situation of the indigenous people, and you were accidentally discovered."
This matter must not be discovered. If Heiyeta finds out, he will definitely have no good fruit to eat.
So the excuse to the outside world is naturally to be accidentally discovered while scouting the enemy.
Chitty immediately lowered her head and said in shame, "Yes, my subordinate made a mistake. I accidentally discovered it when I was investigating the indigenous people."
Thanos nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the remaining two.
Wilkin said softly at this time: "My lord, a total of 500 gold coins were spent on this operation, and a total of more than gold coins were looted from Fernando's mansion, and the rest were snatched up by civilians."
