Coming out of the divination tent, Chen Xing had been in a state of deep thought.
Margulies saw that he was thinking about something, so she didn't disturb him and walked quietly with him.
Demon, queen.
Is he destined to have a relationship with these two women for the rest of his life?
It’s scary just thinking about it. Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. If you are not careful, your head will fall to the ground. This kind of life is so exciting that you can't even think about it for a day.
Life is always changeable.
He recited this sentence silently, trying to convince himself that it was just his own psychological suggestion.
In fact, the purpose of fortune telling itself is to provide a specious and ambiguous hint, and then the person concerned will associate it with the closest event, gradually form a unity, and finally convince himself that it is true.
For example, if the calculation hint is "rope", you will think of the shoelaces that were loosened a few days ago, or think of the snake you saw some time ago, or even think of the water pipe in the fire hydrant, which is similar in shape to the rope. Or various factors that are intrinsically related.
In short, it is the answer that I "brained" out.
It seems efficacious, but it's just a psychological game.
While I was thinking, the light suddenly dimmed.
He raised his eyes, and a well-dressed middle-aged man appeared in front of him.
He has a gentle face, wears a tall hat, carries a cane in his hand, and looks like a country squire. A young man wearing a dark waistcoat and a white shirt stood behind the middle-aged man, with a bow on his collar. Judging from his attire, he should be an attendant.
"My dear John Prader, the mayor of this town, I learned that Mr. Chen is coming to our town, so I came here to greet him."
A middle-aged man who called himself John Prader took off his hat to Chen Xing.
About half an hour ago, a corpse vendor saw Chen Xing who was visiting the small market with Margulies. He has been traveling to various edge towns for many years and has an impression of local figures.
In order to get a reward of a few gold coins, he immediately ran to the mayor's house and told John Prader the news.
At that time, Mayor John was looking around to find out who owned the aeroboat parked outside the town, and he rushed over as soon as he learned the news.
Although Prad Town and Orchid Town are more than 900 kilometers apart, and it is unlikely that the two sides will cooperate, the mayors are still very happy to have the opportunity to form a good relationship and show their friendship as landlords.
"Thank you Lord Prader for your hospitality." Chen Xing nodded in return.
"Margulies Ursula, the daughter of the Earl, sincerely thanks you for your courtesy." Margaret lifted the hem of her Gothic princess dress and made a curtsy like a court noble.
Mayor John's eyes lit up when he heard about the Earl's daughter, and then he put one hand on his chest and bowed in return, "Beautiful Miss Ursula, even the dark night can't hide your color."
Then he invited the two of them to his house for a cup of hot coffee.
Chen Xing was delighted to be invited. In this cruel world, one more friend means one more path, so there is nothing wrong with it.
After a while, the two of them
We sat down in the small castle at the end of the commercial street, and the waiter poured us fragrant coffee.
"I wonder why Mr. Chen comes to this town? If you need anything, please let me do my part." Mayor John asked politely and decently.
"Just passing by and walking around." Chen Xing said. It may seem perfunctory to others, but that's the truth.
"Haha..." Mayor John showed a gentle smile, "Now that the country is in turmoil, everyone is busy sharpening their heads to get into the Lizard City, but Mr. Chen is so cheerful, which is really surprising."
"I don't have soldiers or food, so I won't join in the fun." Chen Xing said.
"My lord, you are being modest when you say this. I heard that your lord opened a zombie paradise in Orchid Town. Tourists flocked there and received rave reviews. The idea is clever and extraordinary. It is a model for the development of Edge Town for our generation."
"Your Excellency, you are so complimentary, so complimentary." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"If I'm not afraid of you being complacent, I can't think of such a good business model even if I try hard enough."
"Your Excellency, you are humble." Chen Xing raised his glass in greeting.
"I can't think of such a good idea, so I can only use the most traditional and stupidest method." Mayor John put down his coffee cup, "I have organized a team of two hundred people and asked my eldest son to take him to the giant city. Lizard City. War is inevitable. As long as the old king dies, the world will inevitably be in chaos."
The topic naturally turned to the current affairs that the nobles were most concerned about.
Mayor John continued, "I believe it won't be long before there will be a situation where the heroes are divided and the princes are competing for hegemony. At this time, it is the age of heroes. We, the red country, built our country by force and want to gain real status and military merit. It’s still indispensable.”
After hearing these words from Mayor John, Chen Xing roughly understood what kind of person the other party was.
The typical thoughts of the old aristocrats of the Red Kingdom, advocating force and despising business. Although he is extremely humble and full of admiration on the surface, deep down he looks down on people like him. He is going to fight and is still making money on his own.
Land can only be fought for with swords, and glory can only be exchanged for blood and fire.
We have different ideas and it is useless to say more. Chen Xing left quickly. He was not interested in hearing the grand plans of a cannon fodder. A wealthy family is still qualified to compete, but the mayor of a marginal town can only be militaristic.
Once it fails, the town will be even worse. If it succeeds by chance, the territory may be changed, and the residents of the town will still be in dire straits.
Chen Xing has been taught by his family since he was a child to "make food according to the food and tailor it to suit the situation." In everything, he must act according to his ability and bite the bullet. Nine times out of ten, there will be no good results.
However, he is from Earth and cannot understand the thoughts of the old nobles of the Red Country, nor can he evaluate what is right or wrong. After all, they have been doing this for thousands of years, and they have not developed poorly. They must have their own reasons.
To put it bluntly, even if he really wanted to fight, there would be no place to seek refuge.
Go to the Lizard City to seek refuge with Aaliyah? Isn’t that too long-lived? The other party has already said that it will be his death when we meet again.
Expect. It was impossible for him to send his head to be chopped off by others, let alone the eldest princess whom he had humiliated, and the Red Dragon Grand Duke who had his daughter-in-law robbed...
Go to Bailong City to join the fourth prince Qiao An? If you think too much, the other person will start punishing him before they even meet him. It is very likely that he will not survive for more than half a day after meeting him. If you really want to give it a try, you might as well go find Aaliyah, at least you still have some sympathy.
As for going to Ice Blue City to seek refuge with Cuilis, Aqiaomu was guarding the door. Even his young disciple's family was implicated in fleeing, so he was just asking for trouble.
If you have time to do those things, you might as well concentrate on developing your own one-third of an acre of land.
Now he just makes money, makes money, makes more money, and then gets more counterfeit weapons that absorb void spiritual energy and more undercurrent relics to strengthen himself and his team.
All in all, it’s just one word - Gou!
Live until the end of the world, live until the sun and the moon lose light, and then go out to the mountains at full level and kill everyone.
"Master, please ignore him, he is just a brainless old antique." Seeing that Chen Xing had been silent since leaving the mayor's mansion, Margulies comforted him.
"What do you think?" Chen Xing decided to give this young apprentice a test.
"A team of two hundred people armed with the economic strength of an edge town probably doesn't even have the mecha equipment, and they don't have the qualifications to be cannon fodder. Instead of fighting for some false fame, it's better to be like the master and lay a solid foundation. As long as As your strength increases, when do you want military glory, you will never have the chance."
Margulies shook her twin ponytails and said solemnly.
"Exploration of world fragments, handling of dangerous incidents, foreign military conflicts, what is one thing without military merit?"
"They say it's for glory, but it's actually a speculative mentality. Taking advantage of the crowds and chaos, they want to fish in troubled waters and get the maximum benefits at the minimum cost."
"But everyone is not a fool. Everything you can think of can be thought of by others. In this case, the main theme will become intrigues and intrigues, and in the end it is inevitable that you will end up as cannon fodder."
"The above is my opinion." Margulies made her closing speech. The evaluation of being a "magician" is indeed very rational.
"Then what kind of person do you think can finally make a profit?" Chen Xing asked again.
"The one with the best luck," Margulies said without thinking.
"Luck?" Chen Xing asked doubtfully, "Isn't it strength?"
"After reaching a certain level, everyone is smart, and the influence of wisdom is minimized. At this time, the only thing that determines the outcome will be luck." Margulies said.
"Well said." Chen Xing touched Margulies' head, "I'll give you a reward. Tell Master what you want."
"Then I have to think about it carefully." Margulies looked like she was thinking about it.
"Don't worry, wait until you think about it." "Yeah, master is the best!"
The two walked all the way to the circus. Margulies said goodbye to the group leader and others, and made an appointment to meet in Orchid Town half a month later. Then they returned to the aeroboat and set off back to Orchid Town.
