Chapter 56

==================

The first mission is still in progress, and I don’t know when the church will be fully established.

The second task was completed, and the panel showed that the task reward had been issued, but Lian Yun did not see any extra items in his backpack.

Maybe there is a delay.

Lian Yun was thinking when she suddenly heard Pei Si, who was organizing documents, calling her.

Pei Si handed the document to her: "This seems to be the task that Fang Suo accepted."

Lian Yun took it and opened it.

She thought it was a mission description, but when she opened it, she found that it was actually the "responsible part" recorded by the city lord.

Rather than calling it a "document", it is more like a "memorandum" from the city lord.

It said that the orc bandits would quickly evacuate after destroying the village, and he only needed to pretend to follow the village's "distress signal" half a year ago and send people to the village again to confirm whether there were any survivors.

If not, he did not plan to report the gold mine to the main city, but to mine it privately.

If there are any survivors, they must be eliminated immediately.

The indifference between the lines is chilling.

A mountain covered with rocks, with gold deposits detected underneath.

That is the mountain that has been protected from over-exploitation by Gerry and his village for hundreds of years.

She remembered Gerry saying, "It's not just us who protect it. Because we live on the mountain and rely on it to protect us from the storm, it also protects us."

Lian Yun read it silently and passed it to others.

Everyone felt saddened by the shocking word "eliminate".

Jamie finally took the document, folded it, and was about to put it in his arms, but then he stopped.

He unfolded the paper and tore it cleanly with an expressionless face.

"I won't take this dirty thing back with me."

Who could have imagined that in the end their entire village would be massacred just because of a "possible" benefit?

Lian Yun sighed inwardly: "I want to mine this mountain."

Jamie looked at her and said, "My Lord, you are not short of money."

"I want the stones on top." Lian Yun was concise and clear. Compared to the gold underground, she hoped there were more stones below to supply the construction project of Bubu Town.

"Okay, I'll organize the manpower when I get back." Jamie accepted the order.

Lian Yun said to Pei Si, "I'd like to trouble you to help me find some mining tools..."

"It's not a big deal," Pesce said with a gleam in his eyes. "He asked me to prepare it half a year ago and put it in the warehouse. I can take it away at any time."

Lian Yun: ...very good.

A few days later, Lian Yun brought people to the room to count the final things to be taken away.

In the past few days, she has been taking Lana and Buck to take care of various affairs in Quoge City, including negotiating with "Cade" in the mission hall to take over the mission hall and hand over the guard power.

Cade had heard about the city lord abandoning the city and fleeing. When he looked up and saw Lian Yun on the day of the meeting, he was so scared that he slammed the land deed on the table.

In fact, CapitaLand has not made any big mistakes. When doing business, it is inevitable to have some experience.

So she only said a few words, and considering that Fang Suo had been injured before, she instructed Cade to survey the mission area in advance before issuing a mission to avoid similar casualties.

Since they didn't have to lose their job, the other party naturally agreed.

There were also a series of issues that needed to be addressed, including taxation, education, and healthcare, which she and Buck explained clearly to Peth.

The best results discussed are automatically recorded in the experience book.

Lian Yun told Pei Si that she now lived in the small town of Bubu in the desert, but did not reveal her identity. Pei Si also knew that Lian Yun had her own plans, so she did not ask any more questions.

These days, Pei Si found a lot of supplies for Lian Yun in Kuoge City according to her request.

Now in her backpack, in addition to weapons, clothes and mining tools, there are also some herbs.

Fang Suo found an older pharmacist who had no children and had no attachment to Kuoge City.

"I heard that the people from the Sun and Moon Sect were looking for a pharmacist, and he volunteered to go with them." Fang Suo explained.

Lian Yun's smile froze on the spot.

I feel like I kind of regret choosing this name.

"Sir, everything is ready." Lanna and Jamie stood in front of two huge packages and nodded to Lian Yun.

Lian Yun had already filled his backpack, but he also carried an empty bag on his back. After all...

She opened the window and looked out. The street outside was crowded with people.

When everyone heard that Lian Yun and his friends were leaving today, they brought a lot of things to see them off.

The previous city lord is gone, and the current Kuoge City does not explicitly state who the city lord is, but everyone knows it.

Maybe they don't understand these struggles, but they can tell right from wrong.

They had seen and remembered everything the city lord had done before, and they knew exactly why he was wanted.

After Lian Yun and others took over Kuoge, the lives of the people in Kuoge City improved.

That's enough.

Lian Yun turned around and looked at Lanner and Buck: "Have they packed up?"

This time he left with not only the pharmacist, but also Sel's mother.

Her name is Nora.

Lian Yun had been visiting her frequently these past few days. After several days of recuperation, her health had improved considerably, but she still needed to maintain it. She would only feel sad if she stayed here, so Lian Yun invited her back to Bubu Town.

Nora accepted gratefully.

She knew that her body couldn't last much longer, but they cared about her so much, and she really wanted to do her part to help them.

After a while, Lina ran upstairs and knocked on the door: “Sister Noila is here, shall we go?”

Lana and Jamie each carried a huge package and went out one after the other.

"It would be great if there was a means of transportation..." Lian Yun sighed.

"It would be nice if you brought Abe here," Lina added, nodding.

A few people went downstairs, and the crowd immediately surrounded them, holding the things in their hands high above their heads.

Although Kuoge City is not rich and all they have are vegetables and fruits, they still remember to give a small gift of their own.

After finally clearing a path, Lian Yun said to the people on both sides, "Did everyone bring the seeds I asked about?"

They have been gathered here since this morning, and Lian Yun suddenly thought that perhaps he could do some business with them.

For example, although the production of garlic is very small now, some people still store it at home.

"We have it!" Some people in the crowd raised their arms, and the people around them made way for them, so they squeezed to the front row.

The guards began to pick them one by one according to Lian Yun's requirements.

The final results showed that some of the seeds were not planted on a large scale on the mainland. Only a few of them were collected and forgotten in the corner.

It's still just in seed form, so it's hard to tell what it will grow.

Lian Yun gladly accepted and gave them gold coins.

"Sir...we can't accept this money!" The person who got the gold coin waved his hands and tried to push the gold coin back.

Most of the people who have these seeds are farmers, and one gold coin is enough for them to earn for a long time.

But……

"You are the benefactor of Kuoge City. We just took out unnecessary and useless things. It's totally not worth it..."

"No." Lian Yun interrupted them with a smile, "Perhaps one day, you will see these crops on the market again, and then everyone will thank you for saving the seeds today."

This money is well worth spending and is extremely meaningful.

Lian Yun did not stay for too long, and everyone quietly made way for them to pass.

When they were about to reach the city gate, Buck suddenly seemed to sense something, turned around and grabbed Lian Yun's sleeve.

He looked at a place: "...It's Fiona."

They learned these days that the extremely beautiful woman was called Fiona, and her beauty and powerful strength, which were exactly the same as Buck's, revealed her race - succubus.

Once such a race is exposed, people around them will feel strange and alienated, no matter how familiar they are.

Especially since she made a mistake.

As he got to know her better, Lian Yun finally understood what she had said when he led his men towards the underground organization: "The one I really want to kill, you can't do it."

In fact, the person she really resented was the city lord.

There was a quarry in Quoge that had been steadily producing stone, and Fiona's husband worked there.

Because the quarry has run out of stone, the city lord deliberately reduces some of the staff every year in order to reduce expenses in this area, but the workload has not decreased at all.

This means that workers who are still at the quarry have to work longer hours than before but still receive the same wages.

Until a few days ago, Fiona's husband developed lung disease due to overwork in a dusty environment.

The whole family was emptied out, and the man had used up all his savings from working for so many years, but it was still barely enough to keep him healthy.

But maintaining the status quo will require even more money.

Fiona, who was at her wit's end, held on to her last glimmer of hope and submitted an application for medical assistance to the city mayor.

She waited for a long, long time.

Finally, I received news from the city lord.

She walked into the office in ecstasy, but the city lord threw the application back into her arms with a look of regret.

"I'm sorry, but the city is short of funds right now..."

…

Fiona can always be found in the crowd at a glance.

A head of waist-length fiery red curly hair and a pair of tempting red lips.

Her light green eyes were filled with unreadable emotions.

But as long as she stood there, everything around her was eclipsed.
