Chapter 52 Difficulties
After a while, Sarah left with the order.
Thanos began to invest in research again.
after three days.
As the inspiration continued to pour out, most of the steps of the Spiritual Tower soon began to be perfected.
From absorbing soul shards, to gathering, then synthesizing will-o'-the-wisps, gathering again, and then turning into will-o'-the-wisps.
Regarding the relocation of the cemetery, although there are many people who oppose it, it is still slowly proceeding.
The reason why some people objected was because the appearance of refugees led to the density of the originally sparse population.
And who would want a cemetery to appear beside him?
After all, I can't sleep well at night.
Even if it is said that the aborigines may use the dead body to vent their anger, there are still some people who object.
However, Thanos basically ignored this, and then forcibly relocated.
After all, Fengling City is about to be evacuated now, without official suppression, who cares about civilians.
But on this day, he suddenly received a message from Black Leaf Tower, saying that a new administrative officer, financial officer, and police station officer would be sent over in a few days.
Obviously, this is Black Leaf Tower wanting to replace Wind Chime City.
Of course, Thanos was absolutely unwilling to this.
After all, I was good at being the Emperor of the Earth in Zixi Town, who would want a few people to restrain me.
And what if he disagrees with the relocation of the cemetery and hinders his plan to build the psychic tower.
However, he could not resist the appointment of Black Leaf Tower.
After all, it is impossible for him to leave the Black Leaf Tower for the time being, unless he becomes an official wizard and has a better way out.
So after thinking about it, he called Sumante, Sarah and Marco to discuss together.
night.
As soon as eight o'clock in Zixi Town, a curfew began to be enforced.
This is mainly due to the sudden increase in refugees and the surge in crime time, so it is implemented for everyone's safety.
At this time, a carriage began to move forward slowly during the curfew night.
The soldiers didn't intend to stop the carriage when they saw it, but the two people on the carriage still had sad faces.
"Sara, you said that Black Yetta sent someone to take our place this time, is it true?"
"Sheriff Marco, since the mayor asked us to discuss it, it must be true."
"The appointment of internal affairs officers has always been managed by Fengling City, why is it the turn of Black Leaf Tower?"
"I don't know. When I get to the mayor's house, I'll find out if I ask."
"Hey, this is the seat I bought for fifty gold coins, and my butt is still warm."
"Don't pretend to be in front of me, have you forgotten what I do?"
When Marco remembered that the woman in front of him was a tax collector and in charge of finances, he immediately shut his mouth and stopped crying.
That's right, in the past few years in Zixi Town, because the previous wizard apprentices hardly care about their affairs, they have not been less corrupt.
But it is really not willing to let him leave this position.
After all, as a chief of police, he can still be a tyrant. Once he loses this position, he is just a rich ordinary person.
After a while, the two arrived at the mayor's house in a carriage.
At this time, Ai Ruo seemed to know that they were coming, so he opened the door and let the carriage in.
"Bang..." sounded.
As the door closed, looking at the gloomy room, Marco shivered with fear after getting off the carriage.
"My lords, Lord Thanos is waiting for you upstairs, come with me."
After speaking, Ai Ruo took the lead and walked forward.
Seeing Sarah and Ai Ruo walking away, Marco could only bite the bullet and follow them.
But after a while, he began to regret it.
Because he saw two skeletons standing upright at the gate of the house.
And on the skull with the green fire, people feel a burst of fear when they look at it.
What's more, it was still night, and there was only one lonely moon in the sky, which added a terrifying atmosphere.
And in the next second, after Ai Ruo opened the door, he and Sarah disappeared in it, as if being swallowed by the house.
Marco looked at this and became even more frightened.
But after thinking about it, he still bit the bullet and walked in.
There is no way, after all, it is related to my future future, if I have reached the door and still don't go in, don't I want to do it anymore.
When passing by the two skeleton soldiers at the door, his calf trembled.
Because they got closer, the skeleton soldiers looked even more eerie.
This is why wizards from other factions look down on necromancers.
Because the appearance of the undead is really not pleasing to people.
Finally, Marco closed his eyes and walked quickly into the house.
Originally, he thought that the situation would improve when he got inside the house, but he realized that he was wrong.
Because there are more skeleton soldiers in the house, basically one post at three steps and one sentry at five steps.
There is a feeling that people have entered the underworld.
At this time, Ai Ruo suddenly appeared in front of him holding a candlestick.
"My lord, the mayor is waiting for you upstairs, please hurry up."
Hearing this, Marco quickly followed as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
In fact, don't blame him for being timid.
No matter what ordinary person is, when he comes to Thanos' house for the first time, he will feel scared.
The reason why Thanos is so heavily guarded at home is, of course, that he is afraid that Peart will jump over the wall and assassinate himself.
After a while, Marco finally came to Thanos' office and saw the long-lost lights.
At this time, Thanos was sitting behind the desk, checking the development report of Zixi Town in the past few days.
Although the appearance of refugees brought security difficulties to Zixi Town to a certain extent, mining at the Zixi Mine resumed.
It is estimated that in a month's time, another ten carriages full of purple tin mines will set off.
But apart from the mining industry, other industries are getting more and more difficult.
Because there are more and more indigenous people, the planting industry, clothing industry, taverns and so on have all been hit to a certain extent.
And this kind of development can be called deformity and unsustainable development.
Once the purple tin mine was dug, the town would have no basis for existence.
However, he didn't think about the issue of sustainability for the time being, so he didn't change too much.
But there was a problem that he had to face.
It is the wages and consumption of the miners.
There are more than 300 miners in the Zixi Mine, and each person's salary ranges from fifty silver coins to one gold coin per month on average.
In other words, he still needs to pay a salary of about two hundred gold coins every month.
In addition, the miners' three meals a day, pouting their heads and the consumption of mine carts, etc., all need gold coins to maintain.
As for the gold coins earned in the previous batch, all of them were bought by themselves to buy resources and food, so this month's salary was not paid out.
