Infrastructure Throne

The cavaliers led by Xiao Meng formed two columns and occupied the village road in front of the iron shop of Li's house. They did not look sideways, and their military appearance was strict. Just standing there silently gave people a sense of oppression. .

Since Shen Qingze asked them to "wait a while", Xiao Meng could only wait.

Hearing that Shen Qingze was going to the City Lord's Mansion for a banquet, Father Li was a little nervous, walking around the room on crutches.

"The house is full of rough linen clothes for work, and you don't even have a decent dress. What can you do? It's the first time you meet a big man in the city, and you dress so poorly. Doesn't it make people look down on you? "

Shen Qingze smiled mysteriously: "I have my own way."

He moved his gaze to the third Jin brothers who were standing nervously in the room, thought for a moment, and ordered: "Since you have decided to follow me, from now on, you must not continue to lend usury and idle around doing bad things. From now on, you It is my follower, the three of you are willing?"

Be the entourage of the officiant?It's a good thing to reach the sky in one step!From now on, they can be regarded as people with dignity and dignity!

The three brothers were overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down: "Thank you godfather!"

Shen Qingze's cold eyes slashed, Jin Da reacted quickly, and immediately changed his words: "Idiot! Call the Master Priest!"

Shen Qingze sighed helplessly: "Jin Da will go to the city with me, and the two of you will stay and take care of Father Li and the iron shop."

"Yes! Your lord!"

Just as Shen Qingze was about to go back to the house to change, there was a burst of commotion outside the house, followed by the continuous sound of stepping on the threshold.

what happened again?

With the arrival of the Cavaliers, the big events that happened at the square ceremony, and the news that Shen Qingze was crowned as the officiant, swept through every nearby house like a hurricane.

The villagers happily knocked on the door of Mr. Li's house holding chicken, duck, fish, fresh fruits and vegetables.

Enthusiastic villagers rushed forward and surrounded them:

"Brother Shen, ah, no, Lord Priest! This is our wish, please accept it!"

"Oh my god, I didn't expect that there would be an officiant in our village. Am I dreaming?"

"I heard that you turned into a three-headed and six-armed person, defeated the night god, and then dispelled the night, is it true?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Is that still a human being?"

The villagers chattered all over the place, using the news from hearsay, using their imaginations to their fullest, spreading the story in a miraculous way, the more outrageous it was, Shen Qingze's head was full of black lines.

"Okay, okay, everyone, be quiet for a while!" The village head squeezed in with great effort, fending off the noisy crowd one by one, and bowed slightly in front of Shen Qingze, with a slightly embarrassed smile.

"Master officiant, please don't be offended. You definitely didn't mean to offend you. Firstly, I want to express my gratitude to you. Secondly, we occupied the land of Mr. Li's house before... Cough cough, the contract is all Here we are, because we lost our heads for a little profit, I apologize to you on behalf of the whole village, please don't take it to your heart!"

Seeing the apprehensive and guilty eyes of the villagers, Shen Qingze felt a little amused. He kept his face calm and looked at Father Li: "Father, those fields belong to you, what do you think?"

Seeing the expectant eyes of the neighbors and folks, Old Li's face was full of embarrassment. He had a generous temperament, and sighed: "I'm old, I can't control so much, you should make up your mind."

"That's good." Shen Qingze was waiting for these words.

His eyes swept across the faces of every villager, and his voice was unhurried: "Since I have signed a contract with you before to replace the land, I must keep my promise. If everyone is willing to return the ancestral land of Li Lao , I will never take advantage of everyone."

"I will compensate everyone according to the market price. In addition, if anyone has abandoned land willing to sell it to me, I will buy it with money."

As soon as Shen Qingze said those words, all the villagers were stunned. He even spent money to buy wasteland?

The officiant must have too much money and nowhere to spend it, is he crazy?

Of course, no one dared to say this out loud, and everyone scrambled to sell their wasteland.

Wasteland is not worth much these days. For the villagers, it is an income that fell from the sky out of thin air. For Shen Qingze, it is able to own a vast and contiguous field, followed by large-scale irrigation, fertilization, and intensive cultivation , it is much more convenient.

Seeing that the field at his disposal has expanded to a full [-] mu, just to improve the remaining bad soil into black soil, he will have to spend [-] gold coins, and the rewards of the main task are gone in an instant.

Shen Qingze narrowed his eyes slightly, investing is like spending money like water, so he still needs to find a way to make more money.

Both sides were thinking about the little Jiujiu in their hearts, and both showed satisfied smiles.

After seeing off the villagers, Shen Qingze returned to the bedroom alone, holding a "huge sum" of one hundred amethysts, and opened the system appearance mall, immediately dazzled by the dazzling array of appearances and equipment.

Shen Qingze's eyes are cruising the shelves line by line. The goods in the mall are divided into two types. The suits with powerful attributes and special effects are mostly of rare golden quality, gorgeous in appearance and expensive, which Shen Qingze can't afford now. kind of expensive.

The other is an ordinary appearance with only a small amount of attribute bonuses and almost no special effects.

Looking at the zeros on the price tag, Shen Qingze suddenly found that his "big money" was also stretched.

Fortunately, the system is quite conscientious, and you can enjoy a [-]% discount for beginners when purchasing for the first time.

Without much choice, his eyes finally settled on the appearance of an amethyst priced at two hundred, and the copy described its origin in detail.

[Emperor Priest's Robe: Legend has it that there was a mysterious priest in the Great Xia Empire in the east, who followed the founding emperor to conquer the north and south, and was omnipotent. He was later honored as the Imperial Master. His legend has been buried in the dust of history , only one weather-beaten sacrificial robe survived.Charm +99. 】

You are the one!

City Lord's Mansion.

In the evening, the long-lost sunset glow showed a deep red, just like the lip marks of a woman kissing goodbye, reluctantly saying goodbye to the sky.

The fortress stands majestically and silently in the sunlight, gradually being outlined with a gentle brilliance.

As the sun went down, thousands of lights were lit up in the city lord's mansion, and eight wrought iron candle chandeliers hung in the banquet hall, brightly lit, as bright as day.

The banquet hall is elegantly and solemnly furnished, and it is the only place that this small town on the edge of the Northland can afford.

The floor was covered with a soft crimson carpet, dulled with age and recently washed and washed.

There is a long square wooden table in the center. When the old city lord was still alive, he ordered people to cut down a rosewood trunk surrounded by five people. People, like the last dignity of an old nobleman in his twilight years.

A white tablecloth was spread on the table, and six red candlesticks flickered.

The guests who participated in the dinner party have arrived one after another.In order to meet the mysterious new priest up close, all the nobles and officials of the city were present.

The attendants shuttled among the guests with flowing food and drinks. Due to the shortage of warehouses, the food was not abundant, but everyone's face was filled with the sincere happiness and joy of the remaining life after the catastrophe.

On such an occasion, Yan Zui didn't wear the military uniform anymore, but came dressed in a black gold costume, smiling and nodding along the way, and sat on the main seat gracefully under the respectful eyes of everyone.

Wherever he went, he was always the center of attention of the crowd, Yan Zui had long been accustomed to this, and even the voices of the guests talking loudly were consciously or unconsciously lowered a lot in front of him.

Xiao Meng stood aside with his sword in hand, watching the wolf with eagle eyes. Even at such a lively and relaxing dinner party, he was always on guard, as if he was always on guard against surprise attacks.

"It's getting late, isn't it? Why hasn't the new chief priest arrived? Wasn't Captain Xiao Meng personally picking him up?"

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with a big belly. I don’t know if he often lacks sleep, his hairline is extremely high, and thick bags under his eyes droop. He keeps filling his mouth with food, and speaks in unison.

He is the tax official of Abyss City, Luo Xin.

Xiao Meng said sternly: "The convoy is moving too slowly, I'll hurry up, the meeting should have arrived."

"I just saw the carriage drive into the lawn of the mansion."

On the right of the finance and tax officer is Fan Mizhou, the affairs officer of the City Lord's Mansion.He is slender, with long hair hanging down his shoulders, with one side of his hair pulled behind his ears, revealing half of his delicate and feminine face. He clenched his hands into fists after only one sentence, and coughed into his lips.

"Maybe I'm changing clothes in the side hall, just wait."

Earl Yan En sat at the first place on the left side of the long table, facing Fan Mizhou. He wiped his hands gently with a handkerchief: "Ah, I almost forgot, the priest heard that he was just a dozen or so in a small village on the outskirts of the city. Blacksmith, I have seen him before."

"Oh? The Earl has seen it?" Luo Xindeng became interested and urged him curiously, "Tell me quickly."

Earl Yan En seemed to be recalling: "At that time, he looked like a farmer in the countryside. There was nothing unusual about him. He set up a stall on the side of the road to sell ironware. Well, the ironware was not bad. Because he was robbing business, he had a conflict with someone."

"...For a few silver coins, he even beat up the clerk in the shop. My wife gave him a reward. He neither saluted nor thanked him. He took the things and turned around and left."

Earl Yan En shook his head while talking, and the image of a rough and rude man who didn't know etiquette was about to emerge. Several nobles and officials who heard nearby had strange expressions, and they couldn't help but hesitated while wanting to laugh. Can such a person take on the important task of officiant? ?

While everyone was whispering, the attendant at the entrance of the hall shouted: "Master the priest is here!"

At this moment, almost everyone turned their heads to look at the door at the same time——

I saw a figure in white walking slowly on the dark red carpet.

The man's facial features are profound, his face is handsome and solemn, his black and white pupils are like two stars embedded in his eye sockets.

The plain white sacrificial robe with a stand-up collar tightly covers the neck and wraps the slender body obediently. The silver star buckle is tied to the waist to outline two perfect waistlines.

The man wears a thick silver cloak on his shoulders, two long and narrow tassels hang down from his shoulders, and the hem of the clothes is embroidered with faintly visible patterns with dark gold thread. When he walks, the sleeves of his clothes flutter, and his gestures seem to be walking on misty clouds. , such as immortals and gods.

The moment Shen Qingze appeared, the banquet hall was full of brilliance, and the noisy guests seemed to have been pressed the pause button, and there was no sound.

Including the city lord Yan Zui, everyone fell into a kind of astonishing movement, and even Earl Yan En, who had been poking dirty water secretly, couldn't help but shut his mouth in embarrassment.

It's not the first time that everyone pays attention to him, Shen Qingze didn't look sideways, and walked to the other end of the long table prepared for him calmly, facing Yan Zui, and was about to take a seat.

"and many more--"

Yan Zui's clear eyes locked on him tightly, gently stroked his palm, and called the attendant: "Go, change the chair of the officiant here."

He stretched out his hand and pointed at his side.

Earl Yan En's face was a bit ugly: "This...is not in compliance with the rules?"

Yan Zui rapped on the table lightly with his fingers, and smiled casually, "What the city lord says is the rules."

The author has something to say: the power of krypton gold!
