Infrastructure Throne

"Heh." Yan Zui let out a breath, and was about to clasp the hand on the other's throat. Instead, he gently stroked Shen Qingze's neck, and slowly touched his cheek. Come.

Yan Zui turned his head slightly, provocatively with the corners of his eyes glowing with coldness: "What does it matter to you whether I'm sensual or not?"

Lance's eyes sank, and he was about to make a move while holding the dagger, but the short blade seemed to have taken root, and he couldn't move at all. Lance was stunned, his eyes passed over Yan Zui's shoulder, and it was Shen Qingze who caught it between his fingers. The tip of the dagger.

"Put it down." Shen Qingze's order was low and short, quite impatient.

Lance moved his lips, although he was puzzled, he reluctantly obeyed his orders.

Yan Zui raised the corners of his mouth, showing a triumphant smile, but Shen Qingze followed closely: "And your hand."

Yan Zui snorted a dissatisfied nasal sound from his nose, put on the hood again, and stuck to the wall with Shen Qingze to hide, then asked softly: "Why are you here? Why are you wearing women's clothes for business? gone?"

Shen Qingze stared at him from the corner of his eye: "I still have to ask you, didn't you say you were going to investigate the smuggling in the mine?"

His eyes rolled slightly, as if thinking of something, before Yan Zui could answer, he asked again: "Could it be that the batch of ore embezzled secretly by the Earl was sold to this smelting workshop of Lott?"

Yan Zui nodded without knowing it: "You are not stupid."

"You came alone?"

Yan Zui said in a low voice: "The responders are outside, we don't have many people here, so I have to go first to find out."

Shen Qingze: "What's the bottom line?"

"An account book and a list, based on these two things, we can follow the vine and uproot this thread." Yan Zui moved closer to his ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I guess, it should be in the That steward, Fordan."

Shen Qingze nodded lightly, expressing his understanding.

Yan Zui stared at his straight chest with a half-smile, "What about you? Dressed like this...huh?"

The blue veins on Shen Qingze's forehead throbbed:

"Now is not the time to talk about this. I'm going to save a slave. Let's split up. You go to Fortan to steal what you want. I'll save someone. I'll try to make some noise to cover you. When you retreat, I need someone from you to respond."

Time was racing against time, Yan Zui knew that now was not the time to chat, and after exchanging information with the other party, he warned: "You wait here first."

Yan Zui pulled up his cloak, turned over deftly, climbed up the low wall like a gecko, and landed on the other side.

Shen Qingze listened intently for a moment, when suddenly there was a commotion on the other side of the wall.

"There's a fire! Come and put out the fire!"

"There seems to be a figure somewhere! Someone set fire!"

Taking advantage of the commotion of the crowd, Shen Qingze immediately brought Lance into the crowd pretending to be two ordinary maids.

Holding the hem of his skirt, he ran to the door of the slave room with small steps, shouting loudly to put out the fire and arrest people. The guards at the door didn't understand what was going on, so after listening to the fire, he subconsciously ran in the direction he indicated.

The slave room is like a prison cell, and the walls are covered with various instruments of torture to punish disobedient slaves.

Most of the slaves have almost no ability to resist, and they don’t have enough to eat every day. Futan, the manager, doesn’t worry about them escaping, or someone will save them for a few worthless slaves. They are not held in iron cages, most of them are It's a wooden fence.

The closer he was to his brother, the clearer Lance's telepathy became. Shen Qingze took a torch from the wall, followed the direction Lance pointed, and finally found the shipbuilder Els at the end of the corridor.

Long-term slave life, Ayers was skinny, with hair disheveled on his shoulders, and his exposed arms and legs had many scars from whipping. Only his eyes, as the brother approached, were lit up. For the blazing fire of hope.

Like Lance, his stature was much taller than ordinary goblins, about 1.6 meters and seven in height. He was close to a human adult male, but he was too thin and looked no better than a bamboo pole.

Holding the wooden fence with both hands, he whispered his brother's name from the middle.

Until the brothers held each other's hands tightly, big teardrops rolled down silently, sliding down the ashen cheeks, and the winding tear stains were like two ugly scars.

Shen Qingze habitually missed a probe:

[Els, the exiled patriarch of the goblin orc tribe, is good at carpentry, especially at shipbuilding, with superior attributes: savvy 218, charisma 168, and is currently in a weak state. 】

This guy's savvy is actually higher than his own? !

Without saying a word, Shen Qingze used that dagger that cut iron like mud to slash down at the lock of the fence, and the rusted chain snapped.

When the slaves in other places heard the sound, they stretched out their hands from between the fences as if grasping at the last straw, begging Shen Qingze to save them.

Shen Qingze originally wanted to create a commotion to make it easier to retreat, so he immediately did the same thing and cut off all the locks that imprisoned the slaves.

The slaves seemed to be pardoned, and the hope of survival dominated them. Like a terrible torrent, they rushed out like crazy, no matter what was waiting at the door, such a life that would be worse than death would not last a day!

Lance helped his brother out, Els knew it was not the time to cry or ask questions, so he wiped away the tears with the back of his dirty hand, asked for a torch from Shen Qingze, and threw it on the straw bed in the cell !

This season was already dry, and the flames instantly engulfed the straw shop and spread to all parts of the slave room!

The flames illuminated Ayers' tear-stained face, he pulled his brother, knelt in front of Shen Qingze, and kowtowed heavily: "Please lead us to live!"

Shen Qingze sighed silently: "Come with me."

When the three broke out of the slave room, the scene was chaotic!

The fire that Yan Zui lit just kicked over a few braziers, but the fire of Ayers is the real fire!Almost swallowed up this slave room soaked in the blood and tears of the slaves!

The entire smelting workshop was startled by this massive slave escape. Futan, the manager who was sleeping happily on the bedside waiting to enjoy the beauties, almost fell off the bed in fright when he heard the movement.

He didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he ran out barefoot, instructing the guards to put out the fire and capture the escaped slaves. Yan Zui, who had been hiding on the beam, took this opportunity to sneak in and search for the account books and registers.

There were too many slaves released by Shen Qingze, and their escaping momentum even attracted other slaves in the smelting room.

What is the most indispensable thing in a smelting workshop?

Ironware!

The torrent of crazy slaves snatched away the ironware in the smelting room. The overseers, who are usually domineering, trembled in front of the red-eyed slaves. They didn't even dare to fart. It rushes out like a broken bamboo.

No matter how strong a fortress is, it can be breached from within.

Shen Qingze took the two Lance brothers, and Yan Zui's subordinates to hide in the dark. Yan Zui, who was waiting for his return, retired after success and quietly disappeared into the dark alleyway...

※※※

In the outer city of Pearl City, an inconspicuous farmer's shop.

The first thing Shen Qingze came back was to take off that awkward set of women's clothes. For some dark reason, he didn't throw them away, but stuffed the women's clothes into the system backpack—if Yan Zui came back How dare you mock him with this...

Don't know the charm value? ? ?What does your guy look like in women's clothing?

Ah!

After that, it's time to check rewards happily!

[Because the player has over-completed side missions, all rewards are doubled. 】

Guided by the main and side quests one after another, Shen Qingze guessed that the purpose of the system quests is to promote the progress of the world around the player and develop towards a positive influence.

If he can grasp this point, Shen Qingze will be able to over-fulfill the tasks in the future as much as possible, and get double rewards.

[The player's level has risen to LV30, and all attributes have been greatly improved. The current five-dimensional attributes: Strength 500, Dexterity 310, Defense 270, Comprehension 290, Charm 170]

[Because the player is bound to the main city, the main city construction system will be unlocked in the first stage]

[The player gets two chances to draw in the Treasure House, and the total number of times is currently 4. 】

[The player gets twice the currency reward: silver coin x2000, amethyst x100]

[The player gets two random skill rewards: Deterrence, all creatures within 50 meters are negatively affected by deterrence, the duration is 10 seconds, and the cooling time is one hour]

[Seize the blade, when the target's level is not more than twice yours, 100% of the target's weapon will be taken.The number of targets is unlimited and there is no cooldown. 】

[The player gets a part of the prestige bonus, and gains loyalty and favorability from the Lance Brothers.Note: The higher your reputation and the favorability of your subordinates, the lower the rewards your subordinates need, and the lower the possibility of defection. 】

[Special reward for this side mission: Blueprint of Shanzhi Cargo Ship]

Shen Qingze suddenly felt that it's good to do missions occasionally, the system that is usually stingy, only becomes extra generous when it releases mission rewards.

The construction system of the main city still doesn't know how to use it, and when he returns with money, food, and labor, it's time to show off!

※※※

After changing his clothes, Shen Qingze stepped out of the bedroom. The two Lance brothers had finished washing, changed into clean clothes, and waited silently in the yard, waiting for Shen Qingze to leave.

The hair of the two brothers was meticulously combed behind the ears, revealing two similarly handsome faces. Except for the slightly greenish skin and the quivering pointed ears, they looked almost human.

They lowered their heads in silence, until Shen Qingze stood in front of them, and the two knelt down on the ground in a tacit understanding.

They straightened their backs, stroked their chests with their right hands, and raised their necks high, exposing their fragile throats to Shen Qingze's eyes, like two knights who swore loyalty.

"I, Lance (Els), swear in the name of the goblin orc ancestors, to be loyal to you forever! I will never betray you!"

Shen Qingze doesn't care about such an oath, a few light words are not as powerful as black and white words.

He just nodded lightly: "Get up. Go find Jin Da in a while and sign the labor contract."

Yan Zui was leaning against the wall with one arm in his arms, looking at Shen Qingze quietly, with the horsewhip in his hand, when he casually flung it across the stone brick floor, there were a few light, indistinct clicks.
