"who?"
Interrupted from her thoughts, Liu Nian asked a question.
"I have come on the orders of the city lord to see if there is anything you need?"
Lei Lan's voice came from outside the door.
Liu Nian got up and opened the door. Sure enough, Lei Lan was standing outside, along with three other figures behind her.
Seeing the other three people carrying things, Liu Nian stood there dumbfounded.
What's going on here?
"Would it be convenient to come in and talk?" Lei Lan asked politely as she saw Liu Nian standing at the door.
"Oh, please, please!" Liu Nian seemed to wake from a dream and hurriedly opened the door to let everyone into the room.
Seeing Liu Nian's flustered state, one of the three people behind her chuckled softly, and Lei Lan subtly turned around and glared at him.
The laughter stopped abruptly, and the three women placed their cutlery and a box on the table, then stood back behind Lei Lan.
"Lord of the city has been waiting for you for a long time. Is there anything I have done wrong in taking care of you and neglecting your distinguished guest?" Lei Lan asked politely.
"No, no, I'm used to being alone. It's awkward with so many people around. Please put in a good word for me when you get back and explain things to me," Liu Nian said to the housekeeper earnestly.
"That's good. I was worried you hadn't eaten enough, so I took the liberty of bringing you some food."
"These are the rewards that the city lord gave you earlier. Please take a look."
"Then please thank the city lord for me. I trust his character, so there's no need to go to such trouble."
"Then I won't disturb your rest. If you need anything, just call out and there will be someone outside the door."
"Thank you for your trouble."
After saying that, Lei Lan led his men away.
Outside the door, after closing it, Lei Lan pointed at a beautiful woman: "You stay here. You must fulfill any request he makes, understand?"
"Yes," the woman replied, head bowed.
"Remember, this applies to everything!" Lei Lan gave a stern warning before returning to report.
Liu Nian, who was inside the room, was unaware of what was happening outside and stared wide-eyed at the delicious food in front of her.
He had no idea that the city lord cared about such details and had thoughtfully prepared so much food to send over.
Of course, this was also a little trick by the city lord to win him over.
Ordinary people would never receive such treatment.
Unfortunately, he simply couldn't eat anymore.
If I had known the service would be this attentive, I wouldn't have eaten there.
Waste is shameful! Is it true that the housekeeper said there was someone at the door?
If you haven't eaten, then treat him to something. He shouldn't mind, right?
However, before that, we need to see what the reward for this trip will be.
The crowns inside the wooden box gleamed and shone alluringly under the light of the kerosene lamp.
After being thrown into the space, the value representing crowns in the space kept rolling upwards until it reached one thousand before stopping.
The city lord is indeed magnanimous, which also shows that he and Meng Ziyi have a deadly feud, which is why he is willing to go to any lengths to kill him.
Meng Ziyi's whereabouts are currently unknown, and he may continue to hire me in the future.
Seeing the total number of krona exceed 10,000, Liu Nian was overjoyed.
The more the better, the more the better.
The remaining cards are ordinary life and magic potions, which I have plenty of myself, so they should be considered a kind of team subsidy.
As for equipment?
You're overthinking it. He has a team to take care of; it's not your place as an outsider.
After receiving the payment, Liu Nian opened the door in a cheerful mood.
Sure enough, there was a figure guarding the door. When Liu Nian opened the door, the figure quickly stood up from the seat and walked towards Liu Nian.
"Did you have meal?"
There were some wooden benches in the corridor, where the person who came had been waiting.
"Huh?" The person was caught off guard by the question and didn't know how to answer it for a moment.
Fortunately, the sound coming from her belly answered her question, making her blush slightly.
"Come in!" Liu Nian heard the voice and invited her into the room.
The person stood at the door, struggling internally, before finally entering the room.
Liu Nian pointed to the food on the table and said to her, "Eat whatever you like."
Without waiting for her reply, he lay down on the bed and took out a novel to read.
Seeing that Liu Nian was engrossed in reading a novel, it seemed that she wasn't being polite.
Perhaps because they were really hungry, the person decisively sat down at the table.
The steaming food on the table was tempting her, and finally, hunger overcame reason, so she picked up the chopsticks next to her.
"I really ate it," the person asked in a low voice.
Liu Nian waved his hand impatiently, using actions to answer.
I'm engrossed in my novel, don't bother me!
The visitor didn't take it seriously and began to eat heartily.
After a while, having eaten and drunk her fill, she patted her slightly protruding belly with satisfaction. She was extremely pleased; it was the first time she had ever eaten so much.
Looking at the still-uneaten food in front of her, she patted her stomach with some regret, stood up, and thanked Liu Nian.
"It's alright. I should thank you for helping me with the food; otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do with it," Liu Nian said, putting down her novel and looking at the person who had come to her.
Seeing that she kept glancing at the remaining food on the table, Liu Nian lay back down and casually said, "I'll have to trouble you to clean up these food scraps as well, because I need to clear the table."
The woman was surprised by Liu Nian's response and quickly agreed, "Okay, okay, I'll take care of it right away."
After saying that, he picked up the remaining food and left.
The room finally returned to calm, and Liu Nian locked the door and blew out the kerosene lamp.
He fell into a deep sleep after an unknown amount of time.
The next day, just as dawn broke, he sent a message from the maid at the door to the female steward before leaving the camp.
"Thank you!" the woman whispered to his retreating figure, because her child had been able to have a full meal last night.
A huge treasure awaited him, unlike the city boss, the multi-headed lizard, whose corpse was being eyed by many.
And most importantly, the multi-headed lizard is so large that Liu Nian's space simply can't hold it, but the Abomination can always be squeezed in.
Moreover, even if we can't recruit them now, we'll gradually be able to meet the requirements in the future, so it's always good to be prepared.
He didn't want to miss any opportunities to strengthen himself.
After leaving the camp, Liu Nian summoned his skeletal warhorse and rode away in the envious gazes of the guards.
Driven at maximum speed, the raven scouted ahead to find the optimal route.
After overcoming numerous difficulties, Liu Nian finally returned to the club she had been longing for before 10 o'clock.
The raven did not spot the group of scouts, so it seems that Dugu Xing did not continue to have people watching this place.
Don't underestimate the ravens' abilities. Level 10 ravens possess intermediate-level perception abilities, meaning no invisible unit can escape their keen eyes.
They are natural-born reconnaissance units!
As he entered the club and saw the enormous figure lying in the courtyard, he breathed a sigh of relief.
What I fear most is that Dugu Xing's subordinates will burn it down out of spite, which would result in heavy losses for me.
Liu Nian couldn't wait to use the Soul Summoning Technique, intending to see what kind of units the abomination's corpse could recruit.
Before that, another pop-up appeared.
Then, a system notification sounded in Liu Nian's mind.
