Chapter 79: Tidal Disaster Strikes
The other side.
"Let the wind and waves get stronger!"
Several wizards in red robes were performing rituals in the town, raising their staffs and calling the wind and rain. In an instant, lightning and thunder flashed, like the raging waves of the river and the sea. The tidal waves became even greater, as if a monster had opened its mouth wide, wanting to devour everyone.
Louis saw this scene for the first time and smiled with satisfaction.
The senior wizard can cast spells at a specific location, so it's worth it for him to bring them along all the way.
The stronger the wind and waves, the more dangerous the situation becomes. He wants to see how Lin Muqiu defends himself.
*
On the city wall.
Kedelu raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Muqiu's smooth movements.
She used a bucket to collect water and poured it into the ring. Well, she could have just used a bug, but she still chose to fool the system. She was really, really good.
The corners of Lin Muqiu's mouth curled up wildly.
The bigger the waves and the more water there is, the more money she makes.
I’m rich, I’m rich!
*
"Let the storm come even harder!"
The red-robed wizard shook his limbs, and every muscle was trembling.
The staff held high emitted a fiery light of lightning.
In an instant, the surging sea water was as strong as the tail of a fish swimming upstream, causing huge waves.
*
"I'm rich, I'm rich!"
The townspeople shouted and were overjoyed.
They were very busy, either fishing or scooping water.
Lord Lin said, help her scoop a bucket of water for 5 copper coins!
All you need to do is move your little finger and touch the basin with the ring. It’s so easy!
Grace's eyes were shining with gold, and she was working frantically with the ring.
The other townspeople were jealous.
Fuck! What kind of part-time hero is this? After finishing the construction, he catches crabs, after catching crabs, he goes fishing, and after fishing, he helps Lord Lin store water!
Wouldn’t this be a huge profit?
They rushed forward and said that they were also capable.
Kedeluo on the side twitched his mouth.
Very good, that's fine. In the past, when there were natural disasters, people were hired at high prices and everyone was afraid to come. But now everyone is scrambling to come. Lin Muqiu is capable of managing the town.
It turns out that there is no comparison. Comparing yourself with others will only make you angry.
The captain of the guard, Augustine, also twitched his lips.
Originally, Lin Muqiu had to spend a lot of money to hire people to catch fish, store water and build fish ponds. What on earth were they so happy about?
*
"Let the storm come harder!"
Watching the red wizard cast a spell, Louis smiled with satisfaction.
This time, Lin Muqiu will definitely destroy the city and kill everyone.
He couldn't wait to see Lin Muqiu suffer a crushing defeat.
His pupils were full of viciousness.
He wanted to see with his own eyes Lin Muqiu's crushing defeat and his little broken city being swallowed up by the wind and waves bit by bit!
"Take me to the top of the city wall, and the rest of you continue." He instructed one of the mages.
Before I knew it, I had reached the city wall.
Louis raised the corners of his lips for the first time and slowly opened his eyes.
This damn sense of ritual.
When I opened my eyes, I saw harmony on the city wall.
Lin Muqiu had long since disappeared, leaving only the townspeople discussing enthusiastically:
"Oh my god, the natural disasters this year are so severe! Isn't that amazing!"
"I made a killing! I'm going to buy my daughter a new dress tomorrow. She's been arguing with me for a long time, and I didn't have any spare money to buy her. Now it's great! I have so much sea water. I'm making a killing!"
"Thank you, Lord Lin, for making the waves stronger this year!"
Louis:?
His heart skipped a beat and he almost fainted.
This perfectly describes the feeling, as if you used a powerful move but only hurt the opponent's skin.
It's a deep insult.
Taking a deep breath, he managed to stand up, but then he thought it would be better to just faint.
In front of him, the townspeople were full of excitement as they kept collecting sea water. The happiness of this scene was like a silver needle piercing his eye sockets.
Why is it that no matter how big and fierce the waves are, they are nothing compared to this small town?
Why did the natural disaster become an advantage that Lin Muqiu could exploit?
He couldn't understand.
"Stop, stop! Tell those useless wizards to stop and stop this wave!" Louis' eyes were filled with madness as he desperately grabbed the servant's collar and shook him. "This is all your good idea!"
Amid the harmonious voices of the crowd, this sharp and piercing sound was particularly eye-catching, causing everyone to look sideways with a look of astonishment.
The wizard next to him was sweating profusely. He was in a dilemma whether to stop Louis or not. He was about to send a message to other wizards and companions, but he saw a flash of cold light in front of him, which made him unable to open his eyes.
When they opened their eyes again, they saw Lin Muqiu standing in front of them, holding a recording ice stone in his hand. He turned his wrist slightly, with a smile in his eyes, but he felt a chill to the touch.
Louis understood everything in an instant, "You're spying on me?"
Lin Muqiu remained silent.
He couldn't believe it, "How is it possible? I asked the wizard to put up a magic shield."
Lin Muqiu smiled, "Ankang Town has data collection capabilities."
The most important thing is that she is a max-level boss.
Seeing the other person's gentle smile, Louis felt a chill running down his spine, and felt like an animal being toyed with at will.
If all his actions were under the control of the other party, wouldn't he be like a clown, sending her countless resources time and time again?
After a long moment, Louis forced himself to remain calm and said, "I don't think you know who I am."
"Isn't he just the king's brother?" Lin Muqiu sneered. "The king is extremely suspicious. If he has the chance to find evidence against you to take back power, he'll be grateful to me."
"You..." Louis felt his feet go cold and his hands and feet go numb.
Normally, others would call him His Majesty the King, but this person called him by his name and knew His Majesty so well. Could it be that he has a close connection with His Majesty the King?
Could it be that he fell into a trap?
"You're overthinking it. We don't know each other." Lin Muqiu said in a cold tone, "Ankang Town doesn't seek trouble, but it's not afraid of it either. All I want is fairness!"
After she finished speaking, her eyebrows furrowed, her eyes gleaming with murderous intent, "Catch him for me!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the townspeople rushed forward and captured Louis.
Louis was shocked.
No, you didn't even ask who I was!
He shouted, "I am His Majesty's brother!"
However, no one paid any attention to him. His struggle and squirming resulted in a magic shield, and Lin Muqiu trapped him and a group of servants inside.
No matter how he shouted, it was of no use.
In the past, he relied on his power and influence, always liked to take revenge secretly or do things against the rules. After all, he was the maker of the rules. Who would have thought that he would capsize in the gutter!
*
Tidal disasters rumbled all night long.
Unlike the panic of the townspeople during the beast tide disaster, this time the townspeople participated enthusiastically, but were no longer afraid, and even felt a little secretly happy.
Look, hasn't Lord Lin led them to perfectly resolve crises so many times?!
He even helped them make a lot of money.
What about the tornadoes and thunderstorms that will follow in the fall? Will they be any better?
No one knows, but everyone is looking forward to it.
While everyone was busy building the fish pond, Lin Muqiu calmly went to meet someone.
"Sir, have I redeemed myself?" The pharmacist rubbed his hands nervously. "Although I murdered Master Augustine, I was forced to do so. I have helped you train many pharmacists, even Professor Medea! You didn't spend a penny..."
Lin Muqiu looked at the pharmacist who was complaining with a smile.
What he said was not "I can go now", but "You didn't spend a penny", isn't the meaning obvious?
"How much wages do you want?" Lin Muqiu went straight to the point.
The pharmacist couldn't help but curl his lips. "Just give me the same standard as when I paid in Oez!"
Go? He doesn't want to go! There are delicious crabs and lobsters here, which are not available anywhere else. They smell so good. It's not a problem for the children to go to school. There is no need to buy a house in the school district. How great!
These hidden benefits are not available anywhere else!
He quickly added, "If you're not happy with it, I can lower the price a bit."
"I'll give you double."
"Why?"
The pharmacist was startled and took two steps back in fear.
Everyone knows that Lady Lin is a notorious miser. She is willing to pay a high price only if the other party can make the money back.
Lin Muqiu laughed dumbly, "Am I that scary? I wanted to ask you, can you make salt?"
The pharmacist gasped, "You're crazy! My lord, the salt-making business has always been monopolized by the Central Chamber of Commerce. Aren't you afraid of retaliation?"
Lin Muqiu shrugged indifferently, "Even if it retaliates, it's still a business war, and I've never lost a business war."
"In the early fall, I want to get the salt farm business up and running, along with my fish ponds."
"If you can do it, I'll triple your salary. If you can't, quit."
After saying that, she disappeared in an instant.
Seeing the layer of fog, the pharmacist sighed repeatedly.
Awesome! Who else would dare to say something like, "Punch the Imperial Capital Academy and kick the Chamber of Commerce?"
But Lin Muqiu not only said it, but also did it!
It's no wonder that there are rumors that this Lady Lin is a gentle but not to be messed with person. If you don't mess with her, nothing will happen to you. But if you prevent her from making money, she will definitely teach you a lesson.
Fighting with the sky is endless fun, fighting with the earth is endless fun, fighting with Lin Muqiu is stupid.
