Forced to be the Lord of the Underworld

The next day, Zuo Si came to the Earl's Mansion by stepping on the spot. When he arrived, the other city lords, except Myerson, all arrived.

Seeing him, Monsa enthusiastically stepped forward and said, "The city master of Zuosi is hiding in the docking area, so he must not have heard of what happened at night?"

"At night?" Zuo Si pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What happened at night?"

What happened at night was so exciting that several city lords were full of smiles when they spoke. Among them, the one who walked closer to Myerson was worried.

Monsa said with a little excitement: "Myerson was assassinated by Huangbone at night."

It bit the word yellow bone hard, and then continued: "It was so frightened that it fled the county overnight."

After speaking, it laughed loudly: "I didn't expect it to be so timid. Anyway, once it escapes, we will have a good show."

Not only it, except for the city lord who has made friends with Myerson, it is not a big deal to watch the excitement.

Zuo Si sneered: "If you are so timid, you can become a city lord."

He kept the original owner's personality at all times, making his superficial self appear as a reckless and foolhardy person in the eyes of outsiders.

"Master Zuo, this matter is far more complicated than you think."

Monza patted him on the shoulder to explain, but at that moment Sekensi stepped in and interrupted their conversation.

Zuo Si looked at the shoulder being patted, and his disgusted eyes flashed past. He hated being touched by others, especially unfamiliar people.

Sekenxi sat on the first seat without saying a word, and scanned the city lords below with sharp eyes. The city lords of each city lowered their heads and did not dare to look at it.

Zuo Si felt its eyes sweep over him, but it didn't stay too long.

After a long time, Sekenxi's cold voice sounded: "Myerson broke into the gate of the county at night. The Earl has already sent someone to arrest Myerson. We will wait until he is captured and brought to the county."

No wonder Harding didn't come, he must have gone to Lanlin City to arrest Myerson, the action was really fast.

Sekenxi walked down, passed by every city lord, and said in a calm tone, "I am not a mean person. As long as you are loyal, I will treat you with what you deserve."

"but......"

It put its hand on Monsa's shoulder, and could see Monsa shaking his body in fright.

It paused and continued: "If Earl Ben finds out that you have two hearts, then don't blame Earl Ben for being cruel."

"Castile Lord Monsa." As soon as the words fell, Sekenxi specifically called Monsa by name: "I heard that you took the Castella Zuo to the temple yesterday?"

Zuo Si's heart moved, if Sekenxi and Sekendong brothers had a good relationship, they probably wouldn't have mentioned this matter in the conference hall, right?

Thinking of Monsa's hesitant words again, is there really something dirty between the two brothers?

When Monsa heard the count's question, it was true: "Yes, we are all believers in the Sea God, so when we come to the county, we will naturally pay homage to the Sea God."

In Ming Hai, everyone is a believer of the Sea God. Even if they don't in their hearts, they won't say it on the surface. After all, the Sea God is the supreme existence to the undead. Who can say anything else.

Monsa only said that he was a believer in the sea god, and he didn't say that he joined the temple. No matter where Sekensi could find fault.

Monsa, with the support of the temple behind him, did not fear the earl like other city lords, but it still couldn't resist the coercion from the yellow bones.

Sekenxi was speechless after being contradicted by its rhetoric, and simply released the pressure on his body.

Its breath was directed at Monsa alone, and the castellan who narrated could guess why when he saw Monsa struggling to hold on, for a moment it was even more silent, and he didn't dare to make any movement.

But Zuo Temple is a "straight-tempered person": "The Lord Mengsa asked me to go to the temple, and also met the vice-master of the temple. This is the first time I know that there is such a place in Minghai."

The aura on Sekenxi's body suddenly stagnated following his words, and Mengsa felt his body relax instantly. He glanced at Zuo Si gratefully and supported his body.

Zuo Si knew it well, one of the reasons he said this was to make Monsa feel grateful to him.

He looked at the earl with clear eyes and said, "By the way, my lord earl, the name of the deputy master is very similar to yours."

The city lords: "..." I'm afraid I'm not a fool, dare to speak at this time.

Monza: Touched, brother Zuo would do this for me.

Zuo Si saw their eyes, and secretly smiled in his heart, as if he didn't know what happened.

Sekenxi, who was interrupted, turned his head to look at it, with unknown meaning, and said after a long time: "Sekendong, my brother."

It looked at Zuo Si, trying to see something from his eyes.

Zuo Si's eyes were full of innocence, he shook his head and said, "Then you don't look alike at all."

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha." Sekenxi laughed loudly and said, "Why doesn't it look like it?"

Zuo Si pretended to look at its appearance and said: "The count is more domineering, or in other words, it is the breath of a superior."

Sekenxi's laughter paused, and then he laughed louder: "I thought you were an honest person, but I thought you would be flattering."

"What?" Zuo Si pretended not to understand.

Seeing his stunned look, Sekenxi patted him on the shoulder: "It's nothing, it's fine, it's fine."

Seeing that Sekenxi was finally no longer gloomy, the other city lords couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere in the meeting hall was no longer heavy.

"The Zuo City Lord is really a second person." Hearing the Earl's laughter, the other City Lords couldn't help but start joking.

For a time, the atmosphere was harmonious.

Sekenxi coughed lightly, and the meeting hall fell silent. It said loudly, "Because of Myerson's affairs, this year's City Lords Friendly Match will not be held. All City Lords, after paying this year's taxes, go back individually."

After the friendly match, as the earl, he will also entertain the major city lords. During the banquet, the city lords will be given potions to improve their strength, and the effect is mediocre.

But even though the mosquitoes are small, they are still meat, so the city lords still feel a little regretful about canceling them like this, especially since they still have to pay a large amount of gold coins to the Earl's Mansion.

Zuo Si: "..."

"I have no money." He really has no money, and of course, he doesn't want to pay taxes.

Seeing the count and the city lords looking at him, he said helplessly: "I just became the city lord, and there is no penny in the city lord's mansion, and I have paid the city lord's tax, but if you can find a gold coin in Kenda City, it is up to you." take it."

Hearing what he said was pitiful, the city lords believed it, and they also heard about Kenda City, and they were indeed poor.

Monsa felt even more pitiful for him. After all, he helped it just now: "Brother, your city of Kenda is the poorest of the seven city-states. It's normal that you can't afford it."

Sekenxi gave Monsa a cold look, and then said: "Kenda City has been in constant war in recent years, and this year it is tax-free."

"Thank you Earl." Zuo Si lowered his eyes and thanked him. Sometimes speaking directly is more useful than plotting in secret.

He could tell that Sekenxi liked people like the original owner better, and it might be easier for him to control it.

The friendly match of city lords ended, and the major city lords left the county.

On the way out of the city, after paying the tax, Mengsa quickly caught up with Zuo Si and said, "I was in the Earl's Mansion just now, thank you Brother Zuo."

Zuo Si smiled and said, "City Lord Mengsa brought me into the temple. I haven't thanked him yet, so why not thank you."

Speaking of this matter, Monsa avoided his eyes unnaturally. He pulled Zuo Temple into the temple to complete the task, let alone the lowest-level servant of the gods.

"Hahahahaha, in short, if you have anything to say in the future, the left city master will definitely not refuse." Mengsa boasted boldly.

Zuo Si's eyes flickered, as if he was serious but also as if he was joking: "Is everything okay?"

Monza: "..."

The words have been spoken, and to say anything else is to slap yourself in the face: "As long as Brother Zuo speaks, anything is fine."

Zuo Si couldn't help laughing, he knew that all promises were worthless in front of interests, or in other words, this sentence only refers to Minghai.

He doesn't have anyone he trusts completely in Minghai. All trust is based on it. He thinks that the other party will not betray him in this regard, but as long as there are enough interests, he doesn't trust Amon or even the system.

Regarding the sudden appearance of the system on his body, he subconsciously believed that there must be something worthy of its plot in him.

"Okay, the words of the city lord Monsa, the city lord will remember."

He watched his warship come out, and jumped onto the deck: "Then I will take my leave, and the city lord will take a step first."

"Okay, the Left City Lord will meet later."

Zuo Si cupped his hands to say goodbye to the other city lords, and then beckoned to the control room to start the boat.

According to its own speed, it only takes two hours for the warship to return to Kenda City, but Kenda City is full of people, and if it goes back too fast, it will definitely attract attention.

So he told the control room to go back at whatever speed he came in.

But in fact, it is still much faster than when it came.

Finally in the middle of the night, the warship sailed to Kenda City, and the city gate opened wide to welcome the return of the city lord.

A group of skeletons headed by Amon were very excited to see him get off the battleship safely.

Harding's arrival was not kind, so he first searched Kenda City, and some of the remarks he said were also widely circulated in the city.

Seeing him return safely, Kenda City Skeleton felt at ease.

Zuo Si is the backbone of Kenda City. As long as he is there, Kenda City will not be chaotic. Otherwise, even if it is Amon, even if there is absolute force to suppress it, it will be useless.

"City Lord." The moment he saw him, Amon was the first to greet him.

"The military division has worked hard."

"You have worked hard."

The skeletons said loudly: "It's not hard, as long as the Lord City Lord returns safely."

Zuo Si nodded: "Go back to the mansion, we have something to discuss."

He and Amon walked in front, and Zuo Si said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I will go to the North Sea in a few days, it may take a week at the earliest, and it may take as long as a month at the slowest..."

He didn't say anything later, Amon understood that Kenda City was handed over to him again.

He was silent for a while and asked, "Are you the city lord or am I the city lord?"

Since Zuo Si became the city lord, Amon has been handling almost all the big and small matters in Kenda City, and he is either going to Beihai or the county. He is so busy that he has no time to deal with things in the city.

Zuo Si opened his mouth, and finally said: "Thanks for your hard work."

Amon: "..."

"What's going on this time?"

Zuo Si didn't want his identity as "Wu Zuo" to be known by others, he hoped that this matter would be a permanent secret except for himself.

"Some things left over from last time need to be dealt with."

Amon frowned slightly, he could tell that Zuo Si didn't want to say it.

However, the two agreed at the beginning that even if he is a military adviser, he is not qualified to intervene in Zuo Si's private affairs.

"Understood, Kenda City will be handed over to me."

Zuo Si let out a "hmm" and brought a group of skeletons back to the city lord's mansion, arranging what Kenda City will do next.
