Chapter 83
The arrow shot from the direction Anthony's back was facing, but he couldn't see it.

The village chief and the fat steward who were facing each other caught the swift black shadow, and their expressions changed drastically in an instant.

To say that such a cold arrow wanted to kill the young man, the fat steward would not believe it no matter what.You know, this boy is not a slow-moving magician, he is also a strong fighter in the silver realm.Countless shots, the record is extremely sturdy.If it was really possible to get rid of him so easily, the Fontaine family would have assassinated him countless times.

But if Anthony was accidentally injured, or even if he was uninjured, but blamed all of this on the fat steward—it's normal to have such a guess, who made him have a criminal record and engage in petty tricks.

The fat steward seemed to have seen his bloody and tragic fate.

Although the village chief didn't know all the inside stories between the two families, he could guess from the fat steward's pale face and previous attitude that this young man had a very high status.If he was killed in a sneak attack here, Li Village would probably be implicated as well.

He didn't know Anthony's martial arts realm.

It's a pity that no matter how worried the two were, it was useless.Not only was the fat steward and the village chief unable to rescue them, but most of Hilton's warriors were also far away, so they could only watch the arrows fly through the air and shoot towards their targets.

But there is no worry in the eyes of these warriors, they have absolute confidence in the young priest.

Anthony did not disappoint them.

There was only a light "ding" sound, and less than two inches behind Anthony, an arc light curtain suddenly flashed.When the swift arrow hit the light curtain, there was only a crisp sound, and then fell to the ground.

Anthony turned around, his eyes shot out a breathtaking cold light.

I didn't see him chanting the incantation, but he just casually raised his finger, and two thumb-thick lightning bolts flashed away.

Immediately, there were two short screams in the dense forest where the arrow flew out.Then, there was no sound.

The screams were both human and wild, very weird.

Anthony turned around and said to the village chief, "This should be one of your requests, right?"

The village head was also astonished at the young man's strength and quick reaction, he bowed his head and answered, "Yes!"

That attitude is much more respectful and humble than before.

The strong, no matter where they are, must be respected and admired by others.

The fat steward knelt down with a plop, walked up to Anthony, and kowtowed heavily.

"Mr. Anthony, you must listen to my explanation. This matter really has nothing to do with me. It's all done by those trash in the forest. It's really not my arrangement. Sir, you must believe me!"

The bang bang bang was heard clearly by everyone present.

The fat steward was terrified, and knocked so hard that the skin on his forehead was cut and blood flowed out.

He can't help but be afraid.If this matter was blamed on him, the Fontaine and Hilton families would never forgive him.Offending two big families at the same time, can he still survive?
But the question is, will Anthony believe him?

Anthony patted his head and walked forward.The plain voice came to the fat steward's ears, like the sound of nature, very pleasant to hear.

"Get up, let's go in and talk."

……

Before coming here, Anthony knew the situation of this fief.

Know yourself and the enemy, a hundred battles will never end.

Anthony has never been blindly confident in his own strength. He knows that in order to win, precise and meticulous planning and calculation are essential.The best example is the battle against the four bandits.

And intelligence is the foundation of all this.

He knew that in the surrounding dense forest, there lived a half-human, half-animal creature that often attacked Li Village.From that weird scream, Anthony could tell that it was not human.

In view of the comparison of the situation of the two families, if the other party does not fight, it may hinder the progress of the fief transfer.

Those who assassinated Hilton didn't even have the guts.

At most, it is to make some small moves in order to earn back some face.

But Anthony was not in the mood to spend energy on it with them. He just wanted to finish his last mission in the Hilton family and set off for the imperial capital.

Therefore, when he discovered the other party's intentions, Anthony simply used his tricks and severely frightened the fat steward.Presumably after this episode, the subsequent handover procedures will be much smoother.

After entering the village, the fat steward was sent by Anthony to handle the handover.Naturally, there are relevant personnel on Hilton's side to follow up and take charge, but there is no need for the priest to worry about it.

Anthony still has something to discuss with the village chief.

"The village chief just mentioned the issue of remuneration for work. I don't know what the standards of the Fontaine family were before?"

This point was not mentioned in the information collected by Hilton, so Anthony naturally didn't know about it.

The village head was a little annoyed, and said a number cautiously.

Anthony couldn't help being stunned.

The Fontaine family is a marquis family after all, so I really didn't expect to be so stingy.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the village head began to feel uneasy.This Hilton family, shouldn't it be meaner than the Fontaine family.

Looking at his expression, Anthony knew that he had misunderstood, and said calmly: "The village chief, don't worry, there are many differences between our Hilton and the Fontaine family. The biggest difference is: we are not short of money!"

"Starting from today, the remuneration of villagers in Li village will be doubled according to the original standard."

The village head stood up with joy, and bowed respectfully to Anthony to thank him.

"Thank you Mr. Anthony, thank you Hilton family!"

People from the Li tribe have lived here for generations, men farming and women weaving, living a life of paradise.The wars between countries and the battles among the great nobles also involved this land of Taoyuan.

Today, the land developed and repaired by the ancestors belongs to the great nobles.Not only did the Li people lose their ownership of the land and live here, but they also had to pay various taxes to the nobles.

It is no longer possible to bear the burden of life by farming and spinning alone.As a result, all the adult men from the Li clan changed careers and became miners.

The mineral deposits under this piece of land are very rich, and according to the current collection progress, it is enough to mine for more than hundreds of years.However, those ores containing precious metals are not easy to mine.Even the three big men who are not thick, Kongwu powerful, will feel powerless in the face of this mine.

Based on the work intensity, perhaps only fighters above black iron can be qualified for the position of miners here.

Hiring professionals as miners?Which family can afford it?
Fortunately, the people of the Li clan are very talented. The strength, stamina and physique of the whole clan, men, women, and children, are far superior to ordinary people.So logically, he became the most suitable miner.

It's a pity that the reward for hard work, after deducting various taxes and fees, is only enough to make ends meet.

The oppression of the Fontaine family has overwhelmed the Li tribe.Some time ago, because of their rebellion against the Fontaine family, they were strongly suppressed by the third master Fontaine, killing many clansmen.

Now that he has changed his employer, and the young man he sent here is quite talkative, the village head of the Li clan only feels the excitement of watching the moon shine through the clouds.

People are not satisfied. Just after solving one problem, the village chief made a second request with a bit of a push.

"Mr. Anthony, there is another problem, those monsters in the forest outside..."

Asking for others, and being the future boss, the village head's attitude is very respectful.

Anthony replied indifferently: "I know what you want to say, I will find a way to solve this problem."

"Thank you sir, thank you sir!" The village head was already too excited.

Only after the high-handed rule of the Fontaine family, the Li people will understand how precious and rare Anthony's promise and attitude are.The village head only felt that it would be unacceptable for the clansmen not to cherish and work hard after changing this new owner.

Anthony signaled the village chief to sit down: "The village chief is welcome. Since this is the fief of the Hilton family, the family is naturally obliged to protect the personal safety of the residents on the fief."

The village head saluted again and thanked him repeatedly before sitting down.I thought to myself, this was also the fiefdom of the Fontaine family before, but why didn't they say this?They also deserved to be defeated by the Hilton family.

"By the way, I heard that the Sunset Mountain Range is the place where the ancient true gods fell?"

After finishing the business, Anthony casually chatted about the rumors he had heard.

The village head smiled and said: "It's all old legends. There is nothing special about this place. How could it be related to the ancient gods?"

"No, I think this place is a bit unusual. For example, these ores are very rare, and it is not easy to find them in other places. There are also those monsters outside. Like a species that evolved naturally."

The village chief probably maintained his smile for a little longer today, and he looked a little dry.

"Well, it's a little strange to hear Mr. Anthony say that. But maybe it's just a coincidence."

"I also heard that the ancestors of the Li clan were the close servants of the ancient true god and were loyal. After the fall of the true god, the people of the Li clan never left. They guarded this land for generations and never left. Therefore, even if you encounter Fang Dan The family is harshly oppressing, and they are not willing to move to other places to make a living."

"It's because our clan members are more nostalgic and hard to leave their homeland, so we don't want to develop elsewhere. I didn't expect to be misunderstood and twisted by people outside to become the servants of the true gods, hahahaha. If our Li clan has such a prominent and powerful bloodline, how can we be empty?" He has a good physique, but he has never been able to produce even the lowest-level professional."

The village chief laughed out loud, as if he felt very funny and ridiculous about this statement.

"Oh, I see."

Anthony didn't smile, he responded with a rambling voice, but his eyes passed the village chief and looked out of the window.
