C57

Inside the Lord of Thorn City Residence, Mayor Michelle was extremely busy. Although the Necromancer was dead, the mess that he had to deal with would not be cleaned up well in the coming months.

"Master, the Pontiff sent a divine official to deliver a message saying that he wanted to visit our house." The fat butler hurriedly ran in from outside.

After Lord of Thorn City heard this, he put down his work and said, "Pope? Humph! What is this guy doing here? Go tell them that I have no time to entertain the noble Pontiff and that I am busy with official matters.

The fat butler said, "Also, we've received news that the Demon Slayer and Demon Dragon have also entered the city. I'm afraid they will be arriving here very soon."

"It's here!" It finally came! It seemed this billion gold coins had to be spent. Sigh! That useless Necromancer and that useless Skull Dragon of his, actually couldn't even kill a mere one year old dragon! " Lord of Thorn City was stunned at first, and then his facial features scrunched together. The people who had come this time were people he didn't want to see, and they were all here at the same time.

Now, the ordinary names of the people had already stirred up the Thorn City. All the men, women and children in the city knew that there was a young man who had charged into the group of demons to kill Necromancer at the most dangerous time, turning the tide of the battle. No one knew the name of this young man, so they gave him the name of a Demon Slayer Warrior.

Mayor sighed heavily as he instructed the fat butler, "Mr. White, go and inform those doyens to gather a billion gold coins right away!"

The fat butler was stunned and said, "Master, one billion gold coins is not a small sum. Are you really going to pay?"

Mayor said helplessly: "What can I do if I don't give it to you? Do you want to bargain with a dragon? " Then he viciously said: "Humph! But I won't let them take the money away so easily! If not for that guy who claims that the Necromancer in the mountain was Esterod who scared away many of my mercenary groups, I wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses! "

The fat butler blinked his eyes and said, "Master, I don't think that the little mage is lying to you. After all, this matter has been confirmed from the memories of the demon that was captured, it is very possible that the Necromancer deliberately used Esterod's name to scare people."

The Mayor snorted, "No matter what, this matter is related to them. Hehehehe, Mr White, what kind of reaction do you think they will have if the mercenaries find out that a heavily injured dragon has a billion gold coins on them?"

The fat butler's eyes lit up, and he laughed: "Dragons are treasures, not to mention the 1 billion gold coins that are left. The master can also get the elder to prepare as much money as possible, which will make the situation even more important, and we don't even have to intentionally advertise the mercenaries to know what to do.

Mayor nodded his head after hearing it: "Right, right, right, dragons all like shining things, if we just give them a few little Magi Crystal Card s, I'm afraid that they won't be satisfied, so we have to prepare more gold coins, the more the better, in case Lord Black Dragon is unhappy about not seeing the gold coins!"

Thus, when the ordinary and demon dragons brought Yuri, Yue Yang and the other two along with the five Emperor Dog outside the Mayor Palace, they saw that the plaza in front of the Mayor Palace was filled with big chests, and at the same time, there were dozens of carriages bustling about.

Seeing Mo Long come over, one of the guards turned around and ran in. After a minute, following a burst of clear and bright laughter, the Lord of Thorn City came out with a fat butler. From afar, he shouted: "Ah! Isn't this our Demon Slayer and genius Tiger? My young friends, I have been waiting for you for a long time. "Oh, my genius Tiger, I hear you've been badly wounded. Are you better now?"

The Lord of Thorn City's words immediately attracted everyone's attention. The mercenaries and citizens all paid attention to the ordinary people who came here and paid their respects. Many of the mercenaries were discussing:

Mercenary A: "Look, that's the Demon Slayer Warrior and his Demon Dragon!"

Mercenary B: "Eh? Isn't that Mo Long invited by the Mayor? "

Mercenary C: "Hmph! Do you believe me? You probably don't know, but this Demon Slaughterer and that Demon Dragon were on the same side a long time ago. Did you know about the genius Golden Swordsman and the young Apprentice Mage who were spread around a few days ago? The genius Golden Swordsman is that Demon Dragon! "

Mercenary A: "Wah! No wonder! I was wondering how a genius like me, who is already over 30 years old, could only be a Silver Swordsman. How could that child have the strength of a Gold Swordsman when he was only 10 years old?

Mercenary B: "Pah! You're a genius? If you're a genius, then there's no fool in this world! "

Servant Ding: "That's right, and you are wrong, dragons are not scary, and in my opinion, people are stronger! Didn't you hear what the Mayor said? That devil dragon suffered heavy injuries at the hands of Necromancer, so this means that Necromancer is much more powerful than him! "

All of the mercenaries asked, "Is the Necromancer considered human?"

Servant Ding: "This... Probably... Should... "

He looked at Lord of Thorn City's smiling face and blinked his eyes. He could sense a conspiracy from his smile. When the Demon Dragon saw Lord of Thorn City, he couldn't help but snort lightly. Now, he finally understood that he was being used by him.

"Master Mayor, we meet again. How have you been?" There was no expression on his ordinary face, as he indifferently swept his gaze across Lord of Thorn City and the fat butler behind him.

Lord of Thorn City said happily: "Young Mr. Mage, I originally thought that you had already left the Thorn City, and this made me feel very regretful for a long time. I did not expect that you were actually secretly carrying out a big plan to eradicate the Necromancer.

The reason why my brothers and I were able to kill that Necromancer by luck is all because of the Dragonrider of the imperial army and the help of the Mage Regiment. This is the result of us working together, how can Lord Mayor kill all of the mercenaries with just one sentence! "

When Lord of Thorn City heard this, he stole a glance at the unfriendly mercenaries and smiled unnaturally, thinking to himself, is the person in front of him really a child? Terrifying! Just now, the Mayor was trying to sow dissension, if the ordinary man had agreed to the Lord of Thorn City's compliment, then he would have offended all the mercenaries, and if it was a normal child, then it would have gone along with his words, but he did not expect the ordinary man to not be fooled, and instead turn him into a soldier.

The fat butler laughed and came over to help them: "Mr. Mage is joking, how can Lord Mayor forget about the great contribution the mercenaries have made? He is currently drawing up a huge plan to reward all the participating mercenaries, this will be understood by everyone in the future."

The Lord of Thorn City immediately laughed as he dealt with it, then immediately changed the topic: "Mr. Mage, Lord Black Dragon, the two of you must be here today to claim your due compensation, I have already ordered people to prepare it, see, these chests are all for you, our Thorn City has never counted, these are the 1 billion gold coins that I promised Lord Black Dragon, not a single one is missing!"

While saying that, the Thorny Mayor ordered for the people to open the chest, causing the entire plaza to immediately burst out with thousands of golden light, the surrounding citizens and mercenaries erupted into an earth-shaking shout, the golden light reflecting everyone's eyes red, stimulating the strong desire for possession in their hearts.

He looked at Lord of Thorn City and said in a low voice: "Mr. Michelle Gen, this trick of yours is what I want to play. Do you want to use one billion gold coins to buy our lives? I'm still lacking a bit. I have ways to make you owe me 1 billion gold coins for free! For example, if I leave now, and secretly send people to encourage the commoners and mercenaries around us, I'm afraid all of Thorn City's people will come here to snatch the gold! "

Lord of Thorn City laughed coldly and said: "Mr. Mage, all these gold coins are yours. If you do this, the one that will be lost is you!"

Ordinary laughed and said, "No! You and not me! "Because you haven't handed this gold coin to me yet. The contract you signed with Tiger is still in our hands."

After Lord of Thorn City heard this, his face immediately paled, and his body involuntarily fell backwards. The fat butler quickly supported him and pleaded towards normal people: "Respected Mr. Mage, brave Demon Slayer Hero, please don't do this! That's why Lord Mayor ordered his men to bring so much gold over here. If you are not satisfied with the gold coins, we would be willing to use Magi Crystal Card as a substitute for them. "

"How many gold coins are there?"

The fat butler said, "One box is 100,000. There are already more than 200 boxes here."

200 boxes, or 20 million gold coins, just 20 million gold coins was already enough to make one's eyes go bloodshot. If 1 billion gold coins were really piled here — thinking about it made one crazy. Ordinary people really had an urge to get 1 billion gold coins piled up here and see how spectacular it was.

He turned to the fat butler and said, "Prepare 100 million gold coins for me and send it to the Adventurer's Guild!"

The fat butler glanced at Mayor, who struggled to nod at a youngster beside him.

The weight of every 100 gold coins was 1000 grams, and the weight of 100,000 gold coins was 1 ton. Adding the thick wooden planks and the iron bars that supported the planks, this case weighed over a ton, and only four people could lift this box. Just by lifting it with one hand, the humanoid Demon Dragon was able to lift it, this was too terrifying.

Jumping onto the chest, he said in an ordinary and loud voice, "My fellow mercenaries and adventurer friends, like most of you, we are outsiders who have come here to make a fortune. Relying on the protection of the God of Light, we managed to eliminate the threat of the Necromancer's Thorn City, and the only reason we were able to succeed was due to the protection of the God of Light, and all thanks to your help! If it wasn't for you desperately resisting and killing a large number of demons, we wouldn't have had the chance to get close to the Necromancer and kill him. "

At this time, he continued, "To tell everyone the truth, my brother Black Dragon Delateger and the Lord of Thorn City have an agreement. This was announced to the public before, he was the one who asked for Dragon Clan to help, and the price was one billion gold coins!"

Another sky-shaking shout came from the surroundings, one billion gold coins! What did that mean? Most people would never be able to earn a tenth or even a hundredth of that in their entire lives.

He continued, "But I believe that these one billion gold coins do not belong to us. They belong to the God of Light, belong to all the warriors who have participated in the defense of the Thorn City. For this reason, I have decided to give out two hundred million gold coins to the Mercenary Guild, and give a one hundred million gold to everyone who participates in the battle! "

The crowd was stunned for a moment. Then, a wave of cheers filled the entire square like a tsunami from an unknown person. Even the mercenaries responsible for guarding the gold coins began to cheer as well. This time, the number of mercenaries and adventurers was about 70,000. 100 million gold coins were divided between them. Everyone would receive more than 1000 gold coins. This was not a small amount of wealth!

"Whether it's mercenaries or adventurers, they are all dangerous occupations. We rely on battles to support our families." Who had no parents and who had no wife and children? Now that they had died in battle, what would happen to their families? Who did their parents rely on to support them, and what did their wives and children rely on to survive? I feel so bad whenever I think about it, so I decided to give another 100 million to the families of the victims. "

This time, there were no cheers, only the soft sounds of sobbing and heartfelt emotions. The greed in everyone's eyes had been replaced by emotions, and countless mercenaries had tears in their eyes as they looked at the ordinary people.

I will not take a single of the remaining 800 million gold. I will definitely not take them for myself, I will donate all the gold I have left now to the Holy Church as a token of my most sincere respect to the God of Light. "

Lord of Thorn City and the fat butler looked at him with a complicated expression. They were stunned by the ordinary amount of money, they did not know what the young man in front of them was thinking, but could it be that he did not know what a billion gold coins represented? In the blink of an eye, he had spent a billion gold coins. That was a billion gold coins, not ten!

He looked at them and said: "Lord Mayor, have you brought the Magi Crystal Card yet?"

Lord of Thorn City handed over the dozen or so Magi Crystal Card s in his hands to the ordinary man. He took a deep breath and said: "Young man, I must apologize to you. But I have to explain, the reason why I apologize isn't because I plotted against you. Even if you give me another chance, I will still use the same method against you! I just underestimated your sincere apology to myself. " After saying that, Lord of Thorn City bowed towards the ordinary person, causing the fat butler and the teenager beside Mayor to be stunned.

If I am not wrong, these one billion gold coins would take eight or nine years to earn even with the prosperity of Thorn City, so I do not hate you. If it was me in your place, I might even be able to do it even more cruelly than you! "

"It's hard to turn one's back on money? Good! That was great! It was indeed hard to part with money! These one billion gold coins are practically two-thirds of my Thorn City's liquid funds! " The Lord of Thorn City praised and sighed.

The young man beside him harrumphed, "Mr. Mage, if it's like this, why must you still come and take these one billion gold coins? From now on, you will spend this money. We know that you don't care about them."

He calmly looked at him, and Lord of Thorn City said: "This is my youngest son, Bruto.

"Why did you give me the name of a dog?" Mr. Bruto, your father will answer this question. " He then said to the Lord of Thorn City, "Lord Mayor, the mercenaries here who are in charge of protecting the gold coins are yours right? I want to borrow their help to move the gold coins to the Mercenary Guild. Oh, and the other eighty million gold coins as well. "

As he said that, he took out the contract he got from Mo Long and passed it to the Lord of Thorn City, "This is your contract, I hope that you won't do something that would harm others." He believed that the Lord of Thorn City did not dare to take those 80 million gold, so he generously returned the contract to him. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and looked at Bruto who was filled with anger. Bruto walked over and quietly said to Lord of Thorn City: "Lord Mayor, let me give you a piece of advice, your son is not even one tenth of your level. If you want him to participate in the next Mayor selection, you might bring harm to him."

The ordinary-looking person who had peeked at Lord of Thorn City's memories naturally knew what was going on in his head. Thorn Thorns City looked at his son, and then looked at the distant commonplace person, and couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Bruto stared hatefully at the ordinary back and said: "Father, that fellow just said that you understand what he means. Can you tell me why he didn't need the one billion gold coins and still risked it to take it?"

Lord of Thorn City sighed and said, "He's telling me to remember, I have to pay for everything I do. I used that Demon Dragon, the price was 1 billion gold coins. Also, you should know that no one would be unmoved by a billion gold coins. It was the same for that kid, but he was the most terrifying one. I am completely certain that the moment he decided to donate a billion gold coins to the Holy See and give it to the mercenaries was the exact moment! This kind of person is extremely frightening, you must not offend him in the future! "

After Bruto heard it, he snorted: "I don't think so, he isn't that smart, maybe he had already decided to do this, he is a naturally kind-hearted person, Master Father, why don't we try again?"
