Start with the Eye of Sauron

Looking at the rather nervous townspeople in front of him, Soros sighed softly.

The town of Weier is located in a remote area. Although you can always encounter thieves and robbers, those people, like the original rulers, will not kill innocent people indiscriminately after they are satisfied.

Resisting those thieves is often done by handing over some tribute, just like the bandits Soros encountered back then, the bandit leader repeatedly asked Soros to hand over his supplies, and only drew his sword when they couldn't agree.

Most people have never seen this scene today. More than 20 people died in a blink of an eye, and the death conditions were very miserable.

"Big guy, now you know how important your daily training is."

Looking at the townspeople in the whole town, Soros pointed to the corpses on the ground.

"Today, if it weren't for our Mude and the spell I released, do you think it would be possible for you to stand there unscathed?"

"Big fellows, don't question Soros' words, listen to me first."

After Soros finished speaking a few words, Old Pike stood in front of the townspeople and waved his hand.

"In Kosovo, deserters will inevitably be punished by law. What they do will be very extreme. If they invade our town, we will not have any good days to live from now on."

"If there is no effective resistance, they will loot all the supplies in the town, kill all the men, and occupy the entire town. After all, the town of Weier is remote, and it is very possible for such a thing to happen."

"We need to become stronger as soon as possible, and we can't always rely on the strength of Soros alone."

After saying this, Old Pike turned around and bowed deeply to Soros.

After a while, sparse applause began to erupt from the townspeople's group, and after a while, every townsman in Weier Town began to applaud.

System: "The task of resisting deserters has been successfully completed, and the reward is fifty magic crystals and a cannon. The product column is updated. The host please check it yourself."

Looking at the townspeople who applauded him, Soros pulled Mude to his side, raised Mude's hand, and accepted the honor together.

In the next two hours, Soros took the men in the town and began to pack up and pile up the bodies of the deserters, collecting useful weapons and armor.

Some of the men took axes and chopped down the sparse trees beside the dirt road, chopped them into firewood and carried them back.

At dusk, a big fire ignited in front of the dirt road in Weir Town, burning all the 28 dead deserters.

In the town, in order to celebrate his narrow escape this time, Old Pike asked the women of the town to go home, cook some delicious dishes, and brought them to the mayor's mansion.

The women kept busy. After cooking the dishes at home, they brought them to the mayor's mansion.

That night, a large-scale celebration banquet was held in Weier Town. All the townspeople came here. The long table was filled with food, and the townspeople sat or stood crowded around the long table.

The underground wine cellar in the mayor's mansion was pried open, and the men took out all the precious wines in the wine cellar. The entire hall was full of light and beamed with joy.

"Let us pay tribute to our hero, Soros! Without him, Vail would not be what it is today!"

Using a silver cup from the mayor's house, Leo filled himself a glass of wine and stood up to toast Thoros.

All the townspeople stood up, raised their glasses and shouted at Thoros.

"Hail to the heroes!"

"Big fellow, with this catastrophe, we should urge ourselves not to slack off in our daily life. Good days are hard to come by, so cherish them!" Soros picked up his wine glass and looked at the townspeople who were covered with candles. With a flushed face, he shouted loudly.

"Kingville Town!"

"Kingville Town!"

"Chels!"

The celebration banquet began, and everyone laughed heartily. Old Parker took out his treasured guqin, and sang loudly while playing it.

Everyone casually shared the food in front of them, and people kept coming to toast to Mu De, thanking him for his bravery today, but Mu De was embarrassed to refuse, and after drinking more than ten or twenty cups, his face flushed from drinking.

Since they were born in Weier Town, the children have not seen such a scene before them, and they almost jumped off the crystal chandelier in the hall.

Only then did Soros notice the crystal chandelier on his head. He looked puzzled. He had been to the mayor's mansion many times, but he had never seen a switch. How was the crystal chandelier controlled?

System: "Idiot, where did the electricity come from in Middle-earth? That thing is not a decoration, it uses magical energy to activate the effect."

Soros nodded silently. His magical energy has already bottomed out today, and some townspeople have yet to heal their minor injuries.

Thinking of this, Soros first opened the exchange panel of the system.

"Swarms of little ghosts can summon ten shadows, last for 10 minutes, consume forty mana, and thirty magic crystals can be exchanged."

"The curse of dead man's blood can imprison vampires in it and slowly deprive them of energy. It consumes ten mana points and can be exchanged for thirty magic crystals."

"Yuequan, restore a little mana every minute, twenty magic crystals can be exchanged."

"The upper limit of energy is increased by [-] points, and ten magic crystals can be exchanged."

What the system provided this time made Soros feel excited, and he was finally able to automatically return to blue.Even a little reply in 1 minute is better than nothing.

However, what interests him the most is the curse of dead man's blood.

Are vampires about to appear by my side?Soros narrowed his eyes. He was very interested in the group of powerful guys who could turn into bats and only move at night.

"System, exchange for the following three things."

System: "Sixty magic crystals have been consumed, and the host has 25 remaining magic crystals."

The celebration banquet went on very late, Soros was drunk a lot of wine, and he walked lightly. Beside him, Mu De came to help him to leave, but at this moment, Mu De might not be much better than Soros.

Before leaving, Soros activated the crystal chandelier, and the colorful light poured down, adding a different color to the celebration banquet.

Almost everyone had toasted to Mu De tonight. Mu De's werewolf belly was rarely swollen from drinking.

"Master, I am not the only creature that emerged from the dark night. In the east, I sensed the presence of King Sauron, and some things have begun to germinate."

Back in Soros' hut, Mude fetched a basin of water and buried his head in it. After a while, he walked to Soros's side and began to tell Soros something.

"The thing in the dark, started to move?" Soros opened his eyes and shook his drowsy head vigorously. . .
