Infinite Bloodcore
Chapter 213: Hutong’s Recruitment
night.
The moonlight shines on the island of eyes.
The tide laps on the shore.
The bustling scene that was still there last night has turned into ruins.
Cries of mourning for the dead, desperate sobs, and angry curses sounded from time to time in the night, mixing with each other and shrouding the heads of the residents of Eye Island.
Tonight's Eye Island is full of bleakness and sadness.
The melee was over, and in the quiet environment, the pain from the bloody wounds seemed to be even deeper.
Not only did Hutong's subordinates suffer heavy losses, many of the poor, free people, etc. in the territory were also looted. Junqu Pavilion
Never underestimate the ability of pirates to loot, they are professionals in this regard.
Many families also experienced attrition.
In the melee, those who use weapons against you are not only pirates, but also murlocs and even the human race themselves.
For the residents here, the pain caused by the loss of wealth is even more intense than the loss of life.
Because this is the parish of wealth.
People generally believe in the goddess of wealth.
In the teachings of the Wealth Sect, wealth is implicitly superior to everything else. Just look at the customs of elaborate burials here. Even if you die, as long as you have money to accompany you, you will be happy.
Death is not terrible, what is terrible is poverty.
Unfortunately, most people's lives are still there, but their money is gone!
Even late at night, there was still a crowd of people crowded at the door of the City Lord's Mansion.
Representatives from the five major chambers of commerce were crowded in front of the door, and behind them were a large group of people from small and medium-sized chambers of commerce.
They all came to see the city lord Hutong.
But was turned away.
"How many times have I told you that Master Hutong was injured and is recuperating. There will be no guests tonight." One eye guarded the door of the city lord's mansion.
There were originally four silver-level men under Hutong's command, but two of them were killed in the melee.
The pharmacist lost a thigh and fell asleep in the city lord's mansion.
Only one eye is left to support the scene.
The businessmen were furious!
"What? No guests? Are we guests? We are victims!"
"The representative of my family was killed by a beam cannon. Don't you give me an explanation, Master Hutong?"
"Do you think you can escape by hiding from us?"
"Our shops have been looted by pirates and fishmen, and there is nothing left. Hutong is the lord and has the responsibility to protect us. Now that things are like this, we have to compensate!"
Some businessmen were questioning, some were yelling and scolding, and some were beating their chests.
One eye has a terrible headache.
He didn't have much experience in dealing with this situation.
He didn't dare to be really violent with people from the five major chambers of commerce. Their backgrounds are so deep!
The other small and medium-sized merchants actually cannot afford to offend one eye.
Eye Island is a commercial island. Once the people's hearts are lost, most of Huantong's foundation will be destroyed.
Today's melee has just ended. After being looted by pirates, the reputation of Double Eye Island has been greatly damaged. Guests feel that it is in danger, so fewer people come.
Pirates came here to sell their stolen goods, bringing a lot of economic vitality. But during the next period of time, there will definitely be a crowd at the door.
Under such circumstances, if merchants leave in large numbers, how can Double Eye Island recover?
One Eye was helpless about the situation in front of him. He saw the businessman getting more and more excited and about to attack the gate of the city lord's mansion.
At this moment, the door to the City Lord's Mansion suddenly opened.
A silver-level person walked out of the door.
It was the pharmacist.
The pharmacist looked gloomy and leaned on crutches: "Have you had enough noise?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and pulled the trigger.
An alchemical musket.
boom.
He shot and killed a businessman on the edge of the crowd!
For a moment, it was as quiet as ice.
The businessmen were confused.
The pharmacist's murderous intent boiled over, and his eyes flashed with cold light as he scanned the crowd in front of him.
He was in a bad mood.
He was seriously injured in the melee, his thigh was obliterated by the beam, leaving a calf on the ground.
After the melee, the City Lord's Mansion was the safest, and he recuperated here.
As a result, I was woken up by businessmen while I was sleeping.
The pharmacist took action with anger and frightened the troubled crowd in one fell swoop.
In fact, even one eye was sedated by him.
The latter stared at the pharmacist with disbelief.
Sometimes, pain and suffering really trains people.
Before the melee, the pharmacist immersed himself in research, obeyed Hutong's orders, was submissive, and was timid and afraid of death.
After the melee, he was seriously injured and survived. He developed his courage, adapted to killing, and was much more courageous than before.
The merchants were held in place, but they did not retreat.
The shock and fear subsided slightly, and many businessmen looked at the pharmacist with a cold expression.
Some of the Chamber of Commerce representatives among them were killed, but there were still three Silver Levels present.
Realizing that the situation was likely to get out of hand in the next moment, one eye's heart was in his throat.
But at this time, he heard the pharmacist say: "Did you see my injury? I'm in a bad mood right now."
"Because I was hit by the beam cannon!"
"Of course, I know you feel just as bad."
"So, I give you a chance."
"Come on, come here."
The pharmacist actually stepped out of the way, allowing the city lord's mansion to open its gate in front of the rioting crowd.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. It is against the law to forcefully break into the city lord's palace! If you are killed by the garrison inside, your death will be in vain." The pharmacist sneered.
Businessman, look at me and I look at you.
Still frozen in place, not even moving.
The pharmacist sneered, not hiding the contempt on his face.
"Don't say I didn't give you a chance."
"I'll give you half an hour, and you can discuss how to attack the city lord's palace!"
"let's go."
The pharmacist motioned to One Eye.
The two people just walked into the city lord's mansion, leaving the door completely open.
The merchants no longer had anyone to stop them, but they all felt at a loss.
"What do you say about this?" The silver-level member of one of the five major chambers of commerce frowned deeply, feeling that the situation in front of him was overwhelming.
"You can't force your way into the city lord's palace. Isn't this giving someone a handle?" Another silver-level person said.
"Then shall we continue to stay here?"
"Oh, it's all over. There's still a lot of mess at the shop that I need to go back to deal with. Regarding compensation, I believe Huantong will give us an explanation."
"Then come back tomorrow!"
Without anyone to raise the price, the troublemakers have no choice but to raise their own prices.
After everyone talked a lot, they all sighed, frowned and walked away.
Soon, the pharmacist and One Eye came to the door again.
"Do you really dare to bet?" One Eye asked with a sigh.
"Businessmen, huh, how could a group of profit-seeking and cowardly people have the courage to attack the city lord's palace?" After this battle, the pharmacist had a thorough understanding of the businessman's nature.
He shook his head with one eye, still feeling a huge risk: "What if, what if you lose the bet?"
The pharmacist sneered: "They didn't attack the city lord's palace immediately, do you still expect them to accumulate such courage in the future?"
"Besides, what are you afraid of?! The City Lord's Mansion is heavily defended and full of magic traps and mechanisms. If these people break in, most of them will definitely die, and a few Silver-level people will also be disgraced!"
Having said this, the pharmacist sighed regretfully: "These pirates are really cunning. They actually left the city lord's palace alone and never attacked it!"
"By the way, where is Lord Hutong?"
Yiyan whispered: "My lord has secretly gone to the temporary base of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group."
The ship of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group is still docked at the dock.
The captain's cabin on the poop.
The window was open, moonlight streaming in.
The moisture of the sea water brought the bloody smell that lingered in the dock into the captain's cabin.
There were only two people in the captain's room, Zong Ge and Huntong.
Zong Ge led Huantong to sit down and directly asked the purpose of his visit: "Lord, you are here late at night. Is there any urgent task for us to do?"
Huntong smiled and shook his head: "That's not the case. I am here this time to thank your group for its outstanding contribution in this battle."
"Where's the leader of the dragon uniform?" Huntong asked.
The dragon boy is still in the Deep Sea Monster Fish and is not here.
Zong Ge was already prepared: "I'm sorry, Lord Lord. The leader used his final form during the melee and is currently recuperating."
Huntong suddenly understood: "The leader of the dragon suit is so heroic and has extraordinary combat power in his final form. He can actually fight head-on, but the result is only slightly weaker."
"To be honest, I have received information about your group before and know that you performed well in the naval battle to capture Rouzang."
"But during today's battle, I truly understood that I had greatly underestimated you."
"The captain of the dragon uniform is not yet at the peak of silver level, but he can achieve this step. Coupled with Shi Qi, who is at the peak of silver level... the dragon and lion mercenary group is completely a quasi-gold level mercenary group."
Huntong was misled by Zong Ge and mistakenly believed that the dragon boy had used his final form and had strong sequelae. At this time, the latter was recuperating urgently.
Zong Ge frowned slightly. He was not good at handling this situation, and he didn't like it either.
After thinking about it for a while, he replied dryly: "Your Excellency, that's ridiculous."
Huntong laughed, and then he said good things and praised the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group.
He recounted the achievements of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group. In the battlefield opened up by the dock, the Praising Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group was the mainstay. Without the outstanding performance of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group, the dock would have been captured by the fishmen long ago.
He added: Afterwards, the dragon boy accepted his mission and went underground to destroy the enemy's spellcasting, regardless of the huge risks. Regardless of the outcome, such choices and actions are in sharp contrast to those businessmen, iron rods and bandage mercenary groups. Completely the backbone of the human race!
After that, Huantong took out a large amount of gold coins and many supplies from the storage device.
Zong Ge frowned deeper: "Lord, your reward is too much. We have not completed the task of going underground to destroy the spell."
"Even if it's completed, we shouldn't be paid so much!"
"It's not much, I still think it's too little." Hutong explained his true purpose of coming this time, "I want to use this reward to hire a group and officially join Double Eye Island!"
Zong Ge couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
Huntong added: "If you are not satisfied with the price, we can continue to negotiate."
"What I want to say is that this time I come with great sincerity!"
Zong Ge nodded and thought to himself: "Just looking at this money, you can feel the sincerity of Hutong's recruitment. He is really wealthy! I didn't expect that he would still be so rich after this battle!"
Zong Ge looked at Huantong.
In fact, this is Huantong's old foundation.
"But it doesn't matter. There is still a huge amount of wealth under the sea! The underground patrol and other puppets have already gone into the sea to salvage it. I will have the wealth of the entire island tomorrow morning! The compensation from those businessmen is completely a trivial matter." Hutong felt that everything was in order. Under control.
