Chapter 047 Lord Election 3
It must be said that Lin Muqiu is very beautiful. She becomes the focus whenever she appears. The flickering firelight only reflects her affectionate eyebrows and eyes, which are as bright as white jade plates and her figure is as bright as the moon.
She was dressed in white, with her skirt blown by the wind, like a gentle young man, dancing gracefully, adding to her vigor and vitality.
If it weren't for the sound of laborious iron smelting all around and the two broken tables on the stage, people might have thought it was a gathering of aristocrats.
Some townspeople couldn't help but discuss quietly:
"Lord Lin must have been a noble, right?"
"She's so beautiful. This is the first time I've seen Lord Lin so serious."
"Requesting the same style of clothes."
Even Otto Hunter was stunned. It took him a long time to react. He sneered, "Oh, no matter how beautiful she is, isn't she just a show? And she's a commoner, where does her aristocratic temperament come from?"
Lin Muqiu opened her red lips slightly, calmly saying, "It's certainly not an aristocratic temperament. When did a certain temperament become exclusive to the nobility?"
These words exploded in everyone's hearts, and they were boiling with excitement like ants on a hot pan. Lin Muqiu had given them such a huge shock that they needed to break it down and understand it.
But they felt that what Lord Lin Muqiu said was right.
Otto Hunter couldn't accept being outdone by a commoner, so he walked up to Lin Muqiu and said word by word, "I'll crush you like an ant."
Lin Muqiu asked sincerely, "Really? I don't believe it."
Otto Hunter: "..."
Seeing the other person's face flushed red, Lin Muqiu chuckled and ignored him again.
She took out a bunch of newly bought weapons and asked Yun Yi to put them back in the weapon shop first. Then she walked up the stairs to the front of the stage and smoothed the corner of her clothes.
She looked down at the expectant crowd, her eyes filled with growing affection. "First, thank you all for your trust. Secondly, thank you all for your wallets. The weapons shop has new stock, so thank you for your support. As for the clothes, we'll have new stock in the fall."
Otto Hunter: "..."
Everyone: “…”
Treating the Lords' election as a pyramid scheme, you are indeed
Otto Hunter swore that if his back teeth could bite, Lin Muqiu would have been torn to pieces by him.
The greatest humiliation she could give him was her disdain.
For example, he would recite the script seriously and regard Lin Muqiu as his biggest enemy in his life, but Lin Muqiu did not take it seriously at all and even took the time to buy a weapon.
The contrast makes it particularly ironic.
He gritted his teeth and thought that he must find a way to get revenge!
Since Lin Muqiu is so gentle, he will be ruthless!
He no longer hesitated, and ran up the stairs in a few dives. Then he supported himself on the table and turned over to the front of the stage, trying to complete a neat flip and get on the horse.
He wanted to tell everyone that he was also very high-spirited—
Then the next second, he fell heavily on his butt, grimacing in pain.
The table legs, which were not strong to begin with, immediately fell apart.
Everyone:?
At this time, Kedero's eyes were slightly moist.
Damn it, the town was so poor that they didn’t want to replace the table even after repairing it several times, and now, it’s broken right away!
He endured the pain in his heart and said, "Thank you, 3 silver coins, thank you for your support."
Otto Hunt:?
Did you learn the money-stealing skills from Lin Muqiu?!
He didn't want to argue too much on this topic, so he stood up and said seriously: "Okay, I will compensate you. Now let's get started."
Kede Luo, having tasted the sweetness of success, was delighted and began to walk to the front of the stage to read out the meeting procedures. "The participants this time are Lin Muqiu and Otto Hunter. Please take turns to speak. Each town resident has one vote, and they can cast their votes before the end of the beast tide. The results will be counted at 9 o'clock that evening. The one with the most votes will win and become the new lord."
The townspeople were already familiar with this procedure, but it still caused quite a stir because they didn't expect Medea to not participate in the lord election.
But soon everyone's attention was drawn to Otto Hunter's preemptive attack.
Otto Hunter said: "Okay, then let me go first!"
After saying this, he walked back and forth in front of the stage. The hollow wooden boards creaked under his muscular figure. He was very sure that everyone came for him, so he looked very proud.
He deliberately let the light of level 70 emanate from his body, "I am now a level 70 Archmage, fully trained in three elements."
Everyone below: “…Oh.”
Otto Hunt:?
How come this is different from the cheering and surprised expressions he imagined from the crowd?
Indeed, if it were any other time, everyone would definitely be discussing it among themselves. But with Lin Muqiu around, who would pay attention to a grain of sand next to the vast starry sky?
And didn’t Lin Muqiu say that there is equality among all professions?
Otto Hunter felt something was wrong, so he suppressed his anger and used the sound transmission stone to say, "Come quickly."
Just when everyone was wondering what he was yelling about, several animal trainers suddenly appeared on the stage with a bunch of spotted tigers.
Normal tigers were terrifyingly powerful, but the tigers on the stage were even more extraordinary. Their bodies were pure white, spotless. Just the few low growls emanating from their throats were already filled with hostility! Even more crucial, the tigers had wings!
In the other world, summer disasters will cause wild beasts to swell and grow larger, and the larger the beast, the stronger its combat power.
When the tiger pounced, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
Even though the trainer had tied the tiger with a thick iron chain, the crowd standing in front of it retreated in fear. Everyone huddled together, patting their chests, afraid they might jump out of their seats.
Looking down at everyone, Otto Hunter couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
They are indeed a group of country bumpkins who have never seen the world. Seeing such a rare thing is probably enough for them to brag about it for the rest of their lives, right?
So he gave the animal trainer a look, signaling him to pull the tiger trainer back to prevent the tiger's feet from falling under the steps and being dirty by everyone.
He signaled with his eyes again, and the tigers bared their teeth at Lin Muqiu, let out earth-shaking roars one after another, and made preparations to rush forward and bite.
This is provocation and contempt, but he doesn't think Lin Muqiu can deal with it.
He looked at Lin Muqiu proudly, with the corners of his mouth getting wider and wider.
The next second, his smile froze, and he even suspected that he had seen it wrongly——
A scarlet dragon cub suddenly jumped out from the crowd and pounced in front of his face. Its scales were spread out like blades, and its posture was swift and fierce, which was unprecedented. But what was foreseeable was... if it was cut by it, its face would be broken!
He hurriedly used the magic protective shield, but forgot that dragon skills could penetrate it - with a roar, the dragon cub spewed fire, turning his hair into an afro.
The people below didn't even have time to defend themselves. They just stared blankly at the dragon cub, which then slowly flew to Lin Muqiu's shoulder. It was as well-behaved as a bird, rubbing her neck affectionately. Lin Muqiu grabbed the back of its neck, frowned, and blamed it for scaring others.
Everyone then saw the source - Yun Yi had returned after putting away his weapons, and Long Zaizai had run out of his small backpack.
The case is solved. It’s obviously Lin Muqiu’s pet.
Everyone gasped, wishing they could glue their eyes to Lin Muqiu.
This was the first time they had seen this majestic creature.
But he didn't dare to look at it for too long, for fear that the dragon cub would get angry.
But it was obvious that the dragon cub treated Lin Muqiu gently and docilely. It was hard for everyone to imagine that this thing was the legendary evil dragon that could fly to the point of dark clouds covering the city!
"Lin, Mu, Qiu!" Otto Hunter almost growled from his throat.
Lin Muqiu took the initiative and said, "I gave you a new hairstyle. The fee is five copper coins. Thank you."
Otto Hunter was furious, "Kedro, are you not going to do anything about it?!"
Kede Luo didn't care, "It was your Tiger Master who started it."
Otto Hunter was about to roll up his sleeves and argue angrily, but he saw the dragon cub baring its teeth at him again, with an attitude of "Don't hurt my master". He was inexplicably scared and took two steps back.
He wanted the Tiger Division to charge forward again, but he saw the beasts huddled together and whimpering, obviously restrained by their species.
Useless guy!!!
Just as he was about to give them a couple of whips out of anger, he suddenly thought of a question -
The dragon clan admires the strong. If it treats him like this, what level is Lin Muqiu?
His lips suddenly turned pale and he began to read the script in panic with his head down.
Fearing the consequences, he read the manuscript as if he were chewing paper. "I promise, if I become a lord, I will become the best lord on the continent and lead you through the beast tide..."
What's worse is that every time he read the manuscript, he could hear the clanging sound of iron smelting and hammering, which was like the buzzing of mosquitoes, disrupting the rhythm of his reading.
He was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do - he had offended that girl, and besides, no one said that iron couldn't be smelted at this time, right?
For the first time, he experienced that civilians were indeed not easy to mess with.
They're all a bunch of petty people! When he becomes mayor, he should kick all these people out and let them starve to death!
He suppressed his resentment and finished reading the manuscript amid the irregular tapping sounds.
There were occasional clapping and yawns from the audience, but most of them were just out of politeness.
He suffered his first disastrous defeat and felt extremely resentful.
Shouldn't everyone be respectful when seeing a noble mage?! Why... Lin Muqiu is a commoner, and his equipment is green-level!
He smiled sinisterly, "Okay, Lin Muqiu, it's your turn."
Just as he finished speaking, the sound of smelting iron stopped instantly. He could sense that the girl had deliberately changed the place where she was smelting iron.
He took a deep breath and tried to tell himself not to get angry.
Anyway, he has spent a huge amount of money to place a bunch of his people in the crowd. As long as Lin Muqiu goes on stage, they will boo and cheer. He wants to see how Lin Muqiu will get off the stage.
Lin Muqiu stepped forward and smiled brightly, "Good evening, everyone. Since the Grand Master has already given me a lot of information, I won't go into the basics."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard thousands of people hugging each other and shouting in unison. Some took off their hats to salute, while others excitedly shouted "Come on, adults!" There was thunderous applause from the audience, which lasted for a long time. The venue was packed with people, as if it was daytime.
Everyone waved torches and used them as cheering sticks.
At this moment, the booing sounds were completely drowned out by the excitement of the crowd, and not a single sound could be heard.
Very good, all the gold coins were wasted.
Otto Hunter: "..."
He didn't know if he was fine at night, but he wasn't fine!
So, no one came here sincerely for him, right?
