298 Don't you want to do something?
The autumn wind passes by, and the yellow leaves are falling. Now the villagers are entering the mountains more and more often, and young and old are not idle. This is not because they want to go to the mountains to hunt, but because winter is coming, and they must add more firewood to their homes and store them before the snow falls. In this era, if there is not enough firewood in winter, they can only hide near the crystal pillar for the winter. But the problem is... because that place is warm, not only humans will pass, but various carnivorous creatures and poisonous insects also like to run around the crystal pillar to rest in winter, and even grab territory.
Ordinary people are no match for Lone Wolf and Garfield. Moreover, ordinary people will keep bleeding from nose for a few days when they stay in the crystal pillar for unknown reasons.
Every time the villagers entered the mountain, the best part of the firewood they picked up would be placed in front of Chen Xiansong's door, and then brought it to the warehouse in the backyard by the butler Balff. Not long after, the warehouse was full of high-quality firewood.
Chen Xiansong naturally knew about these things, but he did not stop them. If others send things, they would look down on you. It was a favor. They should not refuse just because firewood was worthless. Originally, there was some gap between the nobles and the common people. If they refused, it would probably make him and the villagers live in harmony and destroy the hard-won sense of intimacy.
Because Black Rock City won a great victory that had not been won in decades, the whole city was filled with a celebratory atmosphere. Chen Xiansong sat in a carriage, arrived at the association, and then looked through the window upstairs and looked at the traffic on the streets. Although he was not good at political things, he still smelled the strangeness hidden under this celebratory city.
The materials in the world are limited, and if you take too much, others will get less. With a big victory, they will only capture nearly 5,000 people... and they will also capture the enemy's chief of the border and the patriarch of the Dolan family. Such achievements will definitely make them more powerful, and this will inevitably rob others of their own rights or wealth.
Why are soul-thinking people popular because they can create new ‘items’? Although some new things will replace old things. But in general, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. They will allow others to get more things and greater benefits, so few people will have real hostility towards soul-thinking people.
Chen Xiansong didn't know what kind of storm was hidden in this city. But he is no longer the former boy. The association's huge intelligence network sent a lot of valuable information, which made him vaguely guess many things.
"Balf, you will tell Zelonger in my name later: Take good care of your salt fields and your home. There are many thieves these days."
Balf took the order and left. Chen Xiansong sighed. He didn't want to get involved in the struggle between the nobles, but no matter what, the city lord's mansion is now his ally, an ally who has drunk blood wine. Whenever he sees his allies in trouble, he has to remind him if he doesn't help him. Let Balf tell him one sentence, which is to do his best.
After doing what he should have done, Chen Xiansong began to deal with the affairs of the association. The city was closed some time ago, but no one took care of the affairs of the association. He accumulated a lot of trivial matters, which was a little troublesome to deal with. It was not until the night was approaching that he finished his work. When he returned home, he had not sat for a long time. Zelonger brought Folde and a cavalry team of about a hundred people to Graystone Village.
They escorted more than a dozen trucks, and the wheels of each truck were very deep, and the body was covered with black crepe, so it was not clear what it was.
Zelonger came directly to the hall, and Fold and the guards handed over the goods to Balff. The experienced servants moved the big box under the black cloth and saw the subtle sounds, they knew what was inside, real gold coins.
There are more than a dozen cars in each car! Everyone in the guards took a breath and cold. If these gold coins were used to buy their lives, they would be enough to kill them more than 10,000 times.
Zelonger entered the hall and walked up to Chen Xiansong's study on the second floor. He had seen all the Yingying and Yanyan in this room. Although he envied Chen Xiansong's blessings, he would not have any thoughts. He was a qualified aristocrat. A qualified aristocrat could control his lust, be rational, and know how to make choices.
There are many books in Chen Xiansong's study, which is in line with his identity as a soul-thinking person. Zelonger has been here several times, and he found that there are more and more books in it... and he found that these books seem to be made new, and the written titles and handwriting seem to be in women's fonts.
These books were actually written by Bai Min and Bai Qianxin. Natural people like to read books, so they reproduced the knowledge stored in their chips in this way. After all, natural people do not have chips in their heads, so it is impossible to pass them through data cables or wireless information.
In this era, books represent knowledge. A book sometimes destroys a family. This is not an exaggeration. Zelonger took a few casual glances and did not dare to read more. If so many books were placed in the study of ordinary little nobles, the consequences would probably be very miserable. However, Chen Xiansong was surrounded by two sun god servants, and he was a soul-thought-hearted person, and there were more than 200 powerful mercenaries. Zelonger believed that even the royal family would not dare to spy on his books.
"Sit down, old friend, don't be polite." Chen Xiansong was drawing something on a drawing, but he just looked up at Zelonger casually and lowered his head.
Zelonger was not polite, so he pulled a chair and sat down. He said, "I heard that you have a new drink here, called milk tea? I'm so curious if I don't give me a cup."
"Don't worry. You won't disappoint." Chen Xiansong smiled and put down the brush in his hand, then said, "From your expression, there must be something important to tell me. We have drunk blood wine, so there is no need to beat around the bush. Just say anything directly, ask, I'll listen. It's not too early now, and you know that I have the habit of going to bed early."
Zelonger smiled and said, "Actually, nothing is wrong. First, I sent you your copy of the redemption. Second, you asked someone to bring me a message today. We are very grateful. I have been very busy these days, so I relaxed my vigilance. After a little check in the afternoon, things are really a bit lingering. If you don't have your reminder, my life will be sad in a while."
"You actually don't just want to say these things, right?" Chen Xian smiled and said, "If you don't tell the truth, I'll drive people away."
Zelonger took a deep breath: "Some time ago, I was at your house and heard a loud noise in the back mountain, and black smoke came out from time to time. I was wondering if you had developed new weapons, very powerful weapons. But a few days ago, when you came to rescue, I didn't see you using them, so I wanted to ask, what did you do?"
A soft knock sounded outside the door. After a few breaths, Alice came in with two cups of milk tea, placed it on the table and retreated, and closed the door for the two of them.
Chen Xiansong looked at Zelonger and asked slowly: "Why do you think that is a weapon?"
"Intuition!" Zelonger said firmly.
Intuition is a privilege of natural persons, and biochemical people and new humans have never possessed it. As for the post-humans who have been restricted, Chen Xiansong dare not guess whether they own it or not, but he can be sure that Zelonger must have arranged a spy here and roughly knows something.
Chen Xiansong was not angry about this. This is human nature and it is also what a qualified lord should do. He said lightly: "Yes, I originally wanted to make some weapons, but it seemed that I didn't succeed. It was ruined and it was interrupted. Are you satisfied with your answer?"
Zelonger shook his head and said slowly: "I never think what you do will be ruined. Do you know that you are the most talented soul-thinker I have ever seen. Last year you were going to grow vegetables in the middle of winter. At that time, I was still secretly laughing at you in my heart, but... you succeeded. From that day on, I decided that I will definitely treat your affairs as something that has been successful in the future. The only difference is whether you have completed it."
Chen Xiansong was silent!
Zelonger continued: "You made me a set of blood-colored armor some time ago, using the most lowly evil-exorcist stone. Then I had the strength to compete with a dark believer. Do you know what this represents? It represents infinite possibilities. This matter has been quietly spread in the noble circle. Now the nobles in the city are secretly purchasing evil-exorcist stones. After you have collected the stones in the Black Rock City, they will send people to collect them outside... They also want to make a set of armor, but even the evil-exorcist stones cannot be melted because they do not have the green flames of yours!"
Chen Xiansong already knew about this, and the information sent by the association mentioned it. Now the price of evil-elimination stones in Black Rock City has increased by more than six times, and the trend is still spreading to surrounding towns.
"So you are very interested in my new weapon?" Chen Xiansong took a sip of milk tea and asked, "After getting this weapon, what do you want to do and what to do. Your city lord's mansion now needs money and people, and has almost put the title to the top, and can it still rise? Do you want to be a king?"
Zelonger jumped up in fear and shouted, "Don't you be able to talk nonsense?"
"I didn't talk nonsense." Chen Xiansong slowly drank milk tea and said calmly: "Kate Kingdom is feudal, you are the heir of the Great Lord, I am the little lord. The royal family is the lord's head. Your city lord's mansion is already 'under one person', and above ten thousand people, what else do you want such a good weapon?"
"Protect yourself? No one will think that they have poor military strength!"
"A person has enough ability, he will have enough ambitions." Chen Xiansong laughed, with a strange look: "My weapon is very powerful, but I am not interested in power, so I won't do anything with it, but your city lord's mansion is different... There are too many benefits involved, and now the Kingdom of Kate is in civil strife. Don't you want to do anything?"
"What exactly do you want to say?" Zelonger suddenly became alert.
