Liang Lidong drove the internal affairs system and walked around the most prosperous place in the city, and then sat in a very luxurious tavern. △,

Because it is a commercial center, not only are there many merchants coming and going, but the nobles from other cities will also come here to visit, play, and even buy some valuables they need. Because there are many nobles coming here, the luxurious tavern is born in a luxurious tavern.

Unlike the noisy and lively style of ordinary taverns, it is very quiet here. Each private room has a large space. The tables and chairs are made of high-quality cold wood. After drying, this wood will naturally exude a strange fragrance. Moreover, this wood is light gold and has a slight white texture. It does not require any processing at all. It is an excellent luxury.

Furniture made of cold wood can be replaced with several low-faithings. All the woods, including beams, in this hotel are made of cold wood. From the outside, you can see the entire tavern appearing in a light golden color, and then there are white curved patterns embellished in it. How tall and tall is it.

Such a hotel, let alone civilians, even those wealthy merchants dare not set foot easily. Without the invitation of the nobles, they could only wander outside this big tavern.

Rather than saying that this is a tavern, it is actually a manor. Liang Lidong sat in front of the window on the third floor, looking at the nobles who were communicating in the garden below.

Although the two sides were far apart, he could still hear the voices of the nobles talking, and then these words were collected, filtered and screened by the internal affairs system. By the evening, the internal affairs system had listed some values ​​of the city of Sicily and also gave several internal affairs policies that were being implemented, and one of them aroused Liang Lidong's interest.

Siciari is planning to build a brand new large temple of light in the city center. Construction will start within a month, but not many people know about this news.

Liang Lidong's brow shook and was a little moved. Building a large temple would definitely require a lot of stone. The terrain around Sicily City was mainly plains. There were few quarries, and even if there were, they were a small hill and could not produce much stone. If you want to build a large temple, you would have to purchase stone from other cities. Moreover, heavy stones would be transported from other cities, and the price would be extremely high.

Therefore, the stone produced in the quarries around the city of Sicily will definitely increase in price. Only after the stones of these small stones are harvested will the person in charge of the construction of the Temple of Light consider going to other cities to buy stones.

I don’t know if anyone thought of this and bought the small quarries in advance. Liang Lidong planned to ask. If no one bought them and the price was reasonable, he planned to plan one or two of them, and as long as the temple was built, he would make a lot of money.

After paying two gold coins, Liang Lidong left the tavern and returned to the hotel where he stayed. Kyle and the other three were already waiting for him in the room.

"Teacher, we have established our own mercenary squad." Kyle happily took out his mercenary emblem, which was the symbol of the Gemini goddess of shield patterns: "Our squad is called the Knights of the Round Table. In terms of registration information, you are the captain."

Mercenary... Liang Lidong took over an emblem and showed a look of nostalgia. When the game was launched, as a rookie, he grew up to become a well-known figure in the server bit by bit with his cousin. Now, it is his turn to lead a few rookie mercenaries to "conquer the world". It's really a turn!

The captain position is usually dependent on the strongest person. Logically speaking, Emma's superficial strength is much higher than Liang Lidong, and the captain position should be dependent on her. After all, she is a saint at level 12. Although she lacks offensive power, she can already walk sideways in the human world with her basic attack magic and a large amount of auxiliary magic.

But when Kyle was asked by staff in the mercenary union what the captain was named, what he came out was Liang Lidong's name. Whether it was him, Alice, or even Emma, ​​there was no doubt about it.

"You will go to the Mercenary Union to accept tasks tomorrow. Emma, ​​although you are the youngest, your 'experience' is much richer than the two of them. You should know very well what level of tasks they can accept, so you will be directly responsible for leading them tomorrow."

Emma thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

Kyle seemed very excited. Being a mercenary has always been his dream, and now his dream has begun to sail, which is almost a dream-like joy for him.

After dinner, the four of them went back to their rooms to sleep.

The next day, just as dawn, Kyle and the others set off. In fact, Kyle was excited and didn't fall asleep all night. Before dawn, she got up to prepare her equipment.

After Liang Lidong had breakfast leisurely, he went to the commercial club. There were mercenary unions and killer unions in this world, and naturally there were commercial clubs.

Of course, the status of the commercial club is far from comparable to the first two. After all, merchants are often not popular with the upper class. Although the street office building of the commercial club is magnificent and there are people coming and going in front of the door, there is no noble.

Therefore, Liang Lidong's arrival scared many people.

The director of the commercial club personally received him. He was a middle-aged man with a very versatile skin, with a very white skin, blonde hair and blue eyes. He usually looked aristocrats. Liang Lidong estimated that he should be the descendant of the declining nobles. In order to revitalize the glory of his ancestors, he had no choice but to become a businessman.

Sure enough, when the middle-aged man spoke, he had a unique accent in it. Most nobles like to hold their tone when speaking, and over time it evolved into a relatively unique speaking tone. Such accent can easily distinguish between nobles and civilians.

"I'm sorry, please give me a name." The middle-aged man bent down slightly and asked Liang Lidong to sit down.

The furniture in commercial clubs is inlaid with gold and silver, and it will make people's eyes blurry, but compared with the tavern that was full of cold wood yesterday, it would be too priceless. It is not only far from value, but also far from art and connotation.

The luxurious layout of the commercial club scares ordinary people and lack of knowledge. It is okay to have a joke in front of the nobles.

Liang Lidong sat on the chair and replied softly: "Just call me Beta."

"Hisser Beta, I'm glad to see you. I don't know what important things are there when you come to our business club? If we can help, please give me instructions and we will do it for you for free."

For commercial clubs, any noble is a troublesome customer. Because these people not only have high status, but also have strange requirements. If things are not done well, the commercial club will also have to bleed and apologize to them. However, they cannot refuse the nobles' requests. Therefore, many times, when people in commercial clubs see a noble servant coming to their door, they are extremely depressed.

And nobles like Liang Lidong who come to their homes in person rarely appear unless they have special business requirements that are difficult to express to outsiders.

No one suspected that Liang Lidong was not a nobleman, and that color and temperament. The most important thing was that he was a spellcaster. It would be strange if such a person was not a nobleman.

"No need to be free. Just follow the rules." Liang Lidong knew why the middle-aged president asked for free. He knew how low the merchant's status was in the eyes of the nobles: "I need to buy one or two small quarries. Can you help me contact me to see if any owners are willing to sell it."

As the president of a commercial club, middle-aged man has a very sensitive sense of business. He naturally knows that Sicily City is preparing to build a large temple of light recently. Stones will definitely increase their prices in a while... Not many people know about this news, but everyone who knows it is already taking action. So it is almost impossible to find a quarry of the right price.

The middle-aged man explained the reason and said apologetically: "Of course, we are really powerless to do anything about this. The quarry has now been mastered by those well-informed nobles."

Liang Lidong nodded. He didn't care. In fact, before coming, he had already considered this possibility, and just came over with the idea of ​​seeing if there was a chance. He stood up and was about to leave, but the middle-aged president spoke again.

"Please stay, you have a place in the quarry that has no one to buy." The middle-aged businessman suddenly remembered something and then said.

Liang Lidong was a little confused: "Oh? The stones in that quarry were of poor quality?"

“Quality is pretty good.”

"That's the quarry owner's offer is too high?"

"The offer is very low. There is a land of the owner's house in the quarry. He plans to sell the manor together. The quarry plus the manor is only 300 gold coins."

Three hundred gold coins are a very high price, but if you can buy a small quarry and a manor, the price is indeed very cheap.

"What's the reason?"

The middle-aged president hesitated for a moment and finally said: "The quarry and manor originally belonged to the Taot family, but three years ago, for some reason, the people of the Taot family disappeared one after another. Later, their bodies were found near the family quarry, and the blood in their bodies was sucked up and turned into mummies. Moreover, the remaining people, for some reason, got seriously ill with pus all over their bodies. Now the people of the Taot family are almost dead, leaving only a young son and a maid who was trained since childhood. But the two of them are almost out of reach now."

"Oh, continue, I'm very interested." Liang Lidong sat down again.

"When the Taot family found that their clan members died near the quarry, they spent a lot of money to invite people from the Temple of Light to exorcise evil spirits. Later, no one died of blood sucking again, but they were infected with severe septic disease. Although they asked the priests of the Temple of Light every day to treat them, they could not cure them. In this way, the people of the Taot family gradually died almost the same. Moreover, the priests of the Temple of Light had too much contact with them, and two of them were infected with septic disease. Although they were barely cured later, their appearance was also ruined. Since then, no one dared to help the tragedy of the Taot family."

"The remaining young son of the Taote family goes to the mercenary union to buy spa scrolls for himself and his maids every day. The mercenary union throws the scrolls far into the yard of the Taote family and definitely doesn't dare to get close. Although they barely live, the purulent spoils have never been cured. The magic scrolls are very expensive. After more than two years, the Taote family has been defeated. Now, for treatment, the Taote family's youngest son said he would sell the quarry and manor, but no one dared to take over. More than a year ago, his original fiancée also tore up the engagement and left him."

"What is the name of the youngest son of the Taot family?"

"Joshua Taut."

A good name sounds like an extraordinary person. Liang Lidong thanked the president's information and left the commercial club. He came to Dongxiao. According to the middle-aged president, Taot's manor was in this area.

There are many people in Xiciari City, but no one dares to come here. Liang Lidong found that there was something to do and even looked at people who were terrified.

Following the somewhat deserted stone path, Liang Lidong quickly walked to the front of a manor. The manor's exterior surrounded a circle of white stone walls about four meters high, with weeds growing on the stone walls, which probably hadn't been taken care of for a long time.

There was a tall iron door at the entrance of the manor, but it was already rusted and the original color could not be seen. The door was lightly closed, and Liang Lidong gently pushed it open and walked in.

The weeds in the manor garden grew wildly, almost swallowing up all the stone roads in the garden. There were only the sounds of insects and birds and breezes, and there was no voice at all. It was a bit terrifying in silence.

Liang Lidong walked to the door of the manor villa and vaguely heard the woman's voice coming from the room on the second floor: "Young Master, just drink this bowl of wheat paste, I'm not hungry."

"No, you drink half of it first before I drink..." This was the boy's voice, weak.

Liang Lidong knocked on the door gently... The sound from the building immediately calmed down, and then a figure appeared on the balcony, wearing a woman's clothes. She lowered her head and asked, "What... are you?"

The woman's voice was filled with fear, but after Liang Lidong saw her appearance, no matter how good his character was, he couldn't help but be surprised.

The woman in front of her had no hair, she was not covered by her clothes, and the exposed part was densely covered with pus bubbles as big as a thumb, some of which were broken, and yellow-green pus was emitting outwards, which was very disgusting.

Such a person can survive. How strong willpower is to survive.

Liang Lidong looked at this woman who was like a monster and tried to make her voice gentler so as not to scare her: "I heard that you are going to sell the manor and quarry, come and see the situation of the quarry. I wonder if you mind?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, then a light of hope burst out from her eyes. She rushed back to the room like crazy, and shouted: "Young master, little axe, someone outside said she wanted to buy our quarry and manor, so we don't have to go hungry anymore!" (To be continued.)
